"Commission?" Mu Yan frowned.

"That's right, commissions. Davy Jones and his ghost ship can be the most powerful and elusive pirates in the seas, as well as the most reliable and loyal guards in the seas. ”

Mu Yan couldn't help laughing, a pirate who hadn't let go of a single living mouth in fifty years, said that he was "loyal and reliable", isn't this a weasel saying to the chicken that he has never had a bad opinion about his enthusiasm for service.

"You don't believe it? In fact, I'm just loyal to my profession, and if I were given the opportunity to play the role of a guard, I would certainly be loyal to this job. ”

"Like you're loyal to pirates?"

"Of course."

"Well, I have no intention of questioning Your Excellency's heart." Mu Yan replied, in fact, he didn't even believe it, but he still asked calmly: "But I already have a group of reliable sailors, why do I still hire Your Excellency?" Or is there any unexpected trouble that comes next? ”

Before David could reply, someone interjected:

"That's right, Lord David Jones, the boss has hired me, Barbossa, and this boatmate boy, why does he want you and your ship's monsters as guards?"

David turned his head to look at Blackbeard.

"You know me?"

Barbossa took off his tricorn hat and bowed slightly.

"In the year of the sea fog, I happened to be one of twelve young sailors whom you had personally selected to escort the then Master of Charge back to Hong Kong on a cargo ship of Jones Comptoir. After all these years, I have become a bad old man with gray hair, but you are still strong and have more sparkling ornaments on your body than before. ”

David grinned, he knew that the other party was mocking him for not being like a human or a ghost, so he simply sneered: "Hehe, it turned out to be an acquaintance, but I'm sorry, young man, whether it was you back then or now, I don't have any impression." ”

"You'll remember me, sir." Barbossa laughed, "I promise." ”

"Maybe." David looked at Mu Yan, "Since you have chosen this route, you are going to the Moby Dick Islands, right?" That being the case"

"We don't never affirm this unless you admit that you are in collusion with the people of Stormfang."

Barbossa interrupted him coldly, and David couldn't help but raise an eyebrow helplessly at Mu Yan.

"Mind your men, he shouldn't have interjected while we spoke."

He seemed to be saying that.

Mu Yan naturally ignored the provocation, but he was also curious about the other party's following.

"Let him finish, my captain. It sounds like Captain David has been preparing this line for a long time. ”

"As you wish, boss."

Seeing that the provocation effect was not great, David did not panic, and simply said generously: "If you are going to the Moby Dick Islands, then you will pass by the Black Mist Strait, the Scarlet Harbor and the White Wave Bay in the next few days."

"What's the big deal, it's not like we haven't been there!"

"It's just, it sounds scary!"

The crew shouted, and David looked at them again and again, and now he couldn't take it anymore.

David smiled, his gaze sweeping over the sailors.

"Indeed, this is certainly not a difficult thing for the Jackdaw, but the difficulty is that no one dies."

He deliberately lengthened his tone, but the hearts of those who were swept by him were tight.

This gaze is clearly completing the second half of the sentence,

"How can you be sure that it won't be you?"

Sure enough, the justified refutation was instantly silent.

"But I'm different," David said at the right time, pointing to the ship behind him, "and my crew have been blessed by the god of the sea, and we are immortal, so you can use us as exploration ships with confidence." He was afraid that Mu Yan would not believe it, so he summoned a crew member, pulled out his saber in his left hand, and pierced him straight through his chest.

But the latter, who suffered such a fatal wound, raised his huge head and looked around blankly, not at all injured.

David pulled out the knife and shook off the seaweed and blue liquid on it, and a wisp of breath quickly floated from the ghost ship, merging into the wound, which healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mu Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It's a miraculous blessing, but my crew isn't a chick hiding under the osprey's wings, Captain David. You know, I'm a mage, and I have 10,000 ways to avoid them getting hurt."

"It's not a blessing, Your Excellency, and I haven't stopped all the wind and rain, it's just an effective way to reduce casualties." He shrugged, "But your methods are different, that's the real way to spread your wings and protect the fledglings that don't have any hair, just like these things on the top of your head, not to mention, the magic of mages is very valuable, isn't it?" I guess that's why you hired them."

Although Mu Yan wanted to say, "It's a pity, Your Excellency guessed wrong", but he still nodded noncommittally.

On the surface, or perhaps the most convincing reason, this is the reason, a rich mage spent a lot of effort to build such a ship and a shipload of elite sailors, isn't the purpose of saving effort and magic

But that doesn't mean he has to say yes.

He was almost certain now that the guy in front of him was not only connected to Andrew, but even to the team of shark riders from a few days ago.

As for why he didn't do it for a long time, but wasted so many tongues, I'm afraid it has something to do with the dead Pajesh.

He used that guy to test it, but who would have thought that the shark rider would not be angry, and sent Rorschach a wave of heads and prestige, but he didn't find out any useful information, and he didn't even force Mu Yan to make a move, so now he had to go out in person.

This also means that David is much more difficult to do than Pajesh, and I am afraid that it will be known in the next three places. There is no doubt that the three places he mentioned are all greasy, and when trouble comes, he will just act at the opportunity, fall into the well, or act to the end, but it is impossible to be peaceful.

For fifty years, there has not been a legend about the ghost ship in Esola Bay, which shows what a cautious person he is, so in David's opinion, the boatload of people on the Jackdaw is probably already dead, so he will talk so much.

However, Mu Yan was too lazy to guess so much, because no matter how clever the other party designed, there would always be a link where he would go wrong, and it was impossible for him to guess who he was calculating.

"Well, I promise to hire Your Excellency, and your ship." Mu Yan smiled: "I think there is another confidentiality regulation added to this, right?" ”

"It's not that strict, and I don't plan to continue to hide it, after this vote, I will go back to my hometown to get married, buy a manor and become a farmer." David grinned, revealing a mouthful of white, neat teeth.

Actually, what you want to say is that there is no need for this.

Mu Yan scolded and pushed Barbossa to David with a smile, and he reflexively returned to the cabin.

David looked at Barbossa, who also looked over.

The eyes of the two met in the air, as if there was a crackling sound, more intense than the lightning in the sky.

It turns out that to some extent, Barbosa is much more difficult to deal with than Mu Yan, and the most prominent manifestation is that he is very cautious, and the cautious ones are troublesome.

In the negotiation with David, he did not have the reverence of a hairy boy for his idol when he was young, but with a strong sense of vigilance. Not only did he strictly regulate the work that the ghost ship was responsible for in the "escort", but he also emphasized the need to keep a distance from the Jackdaw. In the process of advancing, the ghost ship is in front, and any close movement must be notified in advance with a flag, otherwise he will not hesitate to break off the cooperative relationship, treating it as an enemy.

He emphasized that those who violated the covenant would not receive a single copper plate.

David didn't take it all in, but bargained hard, looking at the stance, as if he was really just here for the commission

The other sailors were at ease, and as the initial novelty wore off, their gazes at the ghost ship ahead became more resistant and fearful.

In a brief encounter, they learned one thing.

The sailors on the ship are all their grandfathers or even grandparents

In other words, they were once human beings, normal sailors, but now they are monsters who can't even speak

No one looked at David with adoration anymore, because no one wanted to be a monster like that. 11
