Chapter 15: The Ability to Hate and Three Choices.
"Alright, alright, alright. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I'm serious, I swear I'm talking about business now! Removing the dark green from the corners of his eyes, Mu Lishi rubbed his head and looked at the frightened Jackdaw helplessly.
"But I really didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts?"
"That, that, of course!"
But aren't you supposed to be a pirate? Pirates are also afraid of ghosts? β
Then Mu Lishi just finished saying something and understood: "Oh yes, forget that medieval people, especially seafarers, because of the extremely complex climate change at sea, most of them think that it is the influence of gods and monsters, and they are extremely superstitious. So it's normal for you to be afraid of ghosts,"
"It's not a fear of ghosts, it's a respect for the unknown and the supernatural."
So the way to respect is to fight to the death, right?
Then I would venture to ask, what if the real ghost doesn't eat physical attacks?
Looking at the Jackdaw, which was gradually calming down, Mu Lishi complained silently in his heart.
But complaining is complaining, since you said that you want to do the right thing, then be serious.
"Okay, are you afraid of ghosts, let's put this matter aside"
"But that's not a fear of ghosts, that's ......"
"Now let's talk about your abilities, okay?"
Then the Jackdaw, trying to justify something, stopped talking. And the surrounding ship girls gradually surrounded them.
"Jackdaw, if you're willing, I'd like you to introduce you completely and thoroughly. After all, you have concealed that fact twice before, haven't you? β
Now that it has been revealed, there is no need to continue to conceal it. The Jackdaw, who figured this out, looked stunned.
"Admiral, since you said so, then I'm just going to officially introduce myself."
"All is in vain, all is allowed, the brig Jackdaw, the master assassin and the great pirate Edward Kenway is hereby respected."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Assassins?"
"Assassin POI"
"Assassins? Why the Assassins? β
Etcetera.
These exclamations are certainly not without reason.
After all......
Admiral's compulsory course - the self-introduction of the ship's mother.
If you carefully analyze the self-introduction of each ship girl, all of us will find that in fact, many ship girls will add their own models, past experiences, (or complaints), or glory, creed, and things that have meaning because of their names into their opening introductions. (Personality or something...... That's for sure, let's look straight back)
Especially the latter two, it often affects the character of the ship's mother itself (because the latter two often produce many experiences, and experience is the most important factor that constitutes the ship's mother's character)
Here's an example.
Washington, who has always advocated freedom, has a name that is the same as the founding father of the United States, the first president of the United States, so his personality is also affected by his name (after all, warships can still be found). Whether it's because of the character of Washington, or because of the character of Washington, there is this kind of personality or something, in fact, it is as meaningless as chickens laying eggs and laying chickens, but I personally think it is because of the name)
And then there are, for example, the North House Tirpitz, because in the past war, he was ordered by the general not to leave the port for a long time, and later ignored. So now I've been raised into a house.,And there's a character that doesn't have much sense of belonging to the camp.γ (It's a disaster for future generations)
And then there's all that, but what......
Lao Tzu has enough words.
For the rest, look for your own books.
If you want to blame the other governors, who told them to throw this cauldron at me?
So I'm going to trick you into making sure I'm happy.
Hahaha~~~
By some deranged governor.

Just like this, the opening words of the ship mother often contain important information.
And Xiang Jackdaw, who directly declares that it is a car, then the reason for becoming a ship mother is basically that it will be linked to the captain.
But that's what surprised all the shipwives.
The captain of the Jackdaw---an assassin?
As for the pirates or something...... It's been ignored by the ship girls.
After all, judging from the description of the Jackdaw, the assassin is the main identity of the captain of the Jackdaw.
But herein lies the problem.
A melee assassin, or even a pirate, but regardless of his status, what use can he do in naval warfare now?
Now it is not comparable to the Middle Ages, and naval battles in the Middle Ages, if not the battles of warships, basically required a series of battles.
But now...... Especially in the battle with the deep sea?
There are so many opportunities for you to play melee combat.
You who have been beaten into a sieve without getting close are useless.
The Jackdaw, apparently anticipating the reaction of the ship's mothers, shrugged and continued.
"And because I'm a medieval ship, my armor is as brittle as it is, and then my captain seems to be very, very famous, and thanks to him, I've even been influenced by his outfit, and I'm what I'm now. All the equipment on my body was what my captain was wearing at the time, and my artillery ............" said the Jackdaw, flicking the old-fashioned musket in his hand helplessly.
"That's it. I said my hit rate was fine, but ......"
"But the firepower is simply unprecedentedly low. I'm not wrong, right? Mu Lishi on the side directly took the second half of the sentence that the Jackdaw couldn't finish.
"Then, in its place, your captain's stealth, melee, and assassination skills and experience, right?"
"Yes." But unexpectedly, when Mu Lishi mentioned the advantages of the Jackdaw, the Jackdaw's expression was not happy.
"But actually, I don't like my abilities. Even the last time I was built, I didn't even mention it to the Admiral. β
"Why is that?"
"Because the Assassins ...... It's a product of infighting, but now, is it really the time for infighting? β
Faced with the Jackdaw's question, Mu Lishi chuckled.
"Don't be funny, if I'm not mistaken, the reason why you think so should be that your Hidden Blade and Scimitar can't break through the defense of the ship and the deep sea at all, and can only be used against humans, right? As for why it is so embarrassing, it should be because of the technical limitations of medieval materials, at most, you can only use the refined iron that you now disdain, and which is not even steel, to make weapons. So now your Hidden Blade is useless, am I right? β
"Yes. And I'm a shipwive, I'm not a weapon to slaughter humans. But the saddest part of me is this! β
"I want to live, but ...... But I don't have the qualifications to live. β
Because she is not even cannon fodder, she is not qualified to exist.
That's what the Jackdaw didn't say.
"Not necessarily. Any idea why? Because I'm giving you a choice now. Looking at the eyes of the Jackdaw, Mu Lishi's eyes were not serious, one was not serious, but ...... Stately.
"You can choose to give up your abilities, I won't force it, you can find a place to live and food under the town guard's house. Spend your time like a normal person. And you can also choose to accept your ability to kill possible enemies for me, and finally the third ......" Saying this, Mu Lishi paused.
"The third way, I can give you the strength, so that your ability can be maximized. A power that allows you to rival the deep sea and other ship girls. β
"And the price is that you have to go through a ritual, and this ritual never guarantees the life and death of the participants."
"If you choose this path, I'll hold one for you in three days." Looking at the Jackdaw's somewhat panicked expression, Mu Lishi said the name of the ceremony word by word.
"The Shadows Walk Alone."
