Chapter 530: The Man Who Lied
Wang Jian did not lag behind and followed together.
Soon Planck and his two men were the first to reach the outside of the completely inconspicuous room here, crouching to the left and right of the only broken wooden door that allowed them to enter and exit the room.
"It's locked." One of Planck's subordinates tried to push the door open, and all found a situation and reported it to Planck.
"Open." Planck stared bloodthirstily at the other side of the wooden door and ordered him.
The subordinate immediately stopped talking, took out an iron rod-like object and stuffed it into the keyhole and began to stir, and soon with a click, the wooden door opened, and Planck and another attribute immediately rushed inside.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll say everything! Suddenly, a crying voice begged for mercy came from the room, proving that the other party did not even intend to resist.
Wang Jian immediately followed into the room, and saw a man in a basket of clothes and a thin black appearance who was already kneeling on the ground in a surrender posture with his hands, and was controlled by Planck and his subordinates, and completely surrendered to save his life.
Looking at the yellow name slot on his head, it shows that it is [Cowardly Rak], and it is not clear for the moment whether he belongs to Redbeard or the people of the Blood Gull Sailor Regiment here.
"Who are you?" Wang Jian took the initiative to talk to him, regardless of the attributes he showed and asked him about his identity.
"I'm Lac, a resident here. Today, the red-bearded man suddenly rushed here to slaughter here, and I was afraid and hid. Lark replied honestly.
"Why did Redbeard slaughter here?" Wang Jian continued to ask, trying to get more useful information from his words, such as judging whether he was lying.
"I don't know. But it probably has something to do with the last time we accidentally robbed one of his cargo ships. Redbeard is the biggest pirate here. No one dares to mess with him, and nothing good will come of it. We didn't know it until it happened, and we found out that it was Redbeard's ship, and now that we think about it, we were stupid. Lark sighed, completely unaware that their momentary greed would kill them.
Wang Jian went to see Sarah.
Sarah looked back, blinked, and turned her head back.
Wang Jian already knew from Sarah's actions that what she was talking about: "He's lying." From her experience, she had judged that what this Lac said was not true, at least not entirely, that is, he was most likely Redbeard's man.
"In that case, we happen to be short of sailors on board, are you interested in coming over and doing miscellaneous work?" Since Wang Jian already knew what the situation was, it was very strange to invite this Rak to join them.
"Is it really possible?!" Lark was pleasantly surprised, happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course, it's much better to have food and water on our ship than to keep you left to fend for yourself." Wang Jian continued to tempt him, hitting his biggest predicament now.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, thank you." Lark knelt down excitedly and kowtowed in thanks, crying with a handful of noses and tears, making it difficult for people to doubt him.
Wang Jian also knew that there was no point in staying here, and that he was likely to encounter the fleet that Redbeard had found.
Before returning to the boat, Wang Jian suddenly stopped and turned around very casually, and said to Rak, who deliberately fell at the end of their line, and said, "Since you are a resident here, you should know where the nearest island is, right?" ”
I remembered that no matter whether what he said was true or not, he was the original monster and NPC of this world, and he should know more about the geography of this place than outsiders like them.
"Islands? I know one, it's right here in the east, and it takes about four days to sail to get there. Lark replied honestly.
"Exactly, you lead the way. Our ship needs to be restocked. And just had a fight with Redbeard's boat, and now the bottom of the boat is a little leaky. Wang Jian also spoke out about their difficulties, explaining why they urgently need to find land now.
"yes, okay." Lark was stunned, immediately remembering that he was just their prisoner who agreed to his request.
Wang Jian also continued to return to the boat, and saw Nami looking at him curiously with half of her head on the water, and winked at her, which instantly made her sink back to the bottom of the sea with a bubble, completely understanding what he meant. So that Lark didn't notice this little situation.
Wait until all of the group returns to the Expedition. The sailors in charge of the looting also succeeded in carrying a lot of loot to the ship.
When Lark saw the Expedition, his eyes lit up, as if he had never seen such an advanced sailing ship.
Wang Jian also casually didn't care about the discussion with Sarah who was present, and said: "Now the speed of 254 is still a little slower, find a way to increase it to 270." ”
“270? Okay, leave it to me, and when I have the materials, I'll call the boatman to make the modification. Sarah agreed, emphasizing that they would do it as soon as they got to land.
Wang Jian nodded and walked straight to the captain's room. Xu Ling and Feng Yi were puzzled and walked a few steps quickly to keep up. Went with him into the captain's room.
When the door to the captain's room closed, Wang Jian also sat in the captain's chair and quieted down. Xu Ling couldn't help but immediately asked, "What the hell were you doing just now?" ”
She had been paying attention to Wang Jian, so she noticed the eye contact between Wang Jian and Sarah, and understood that Sarah meant that the man named Lark was lying. But Wang Jian obviously understood, and let this Rak get on the boat, and now he deliberately asked him to guide them!
In this case, anyone knows where this Rak will lead them.
"It's a mission."
Wang Jian entered the captain's quarters, making it a completely enclosed space, and he was truly relieved.
He admits that he was just acting plus lying. But if he doesn't play Sarah well, if the goofs are detected by this Lack, they will be really dangerous.
"Mission?" Xu Ling still didn't understand. Feng Yi looked at the two of them even more incomprehensibly, not understanding why Xu Ling suddenly became angry at Wang Jian, Wang Jian also wanted to explain but didn't know where to start explaining.
"Yes, that's the task. It's just that this quest hasn't been fully triggered yet. So I was not prompted to activate the task content. But if you think about it, you can understand it. Why did the three self-explode boats come to us for a suicide attack, but only one person was left in this pirate camp that has become a ghost town? ”
Xu Ling pondered, and after listening to Wang Jian's question, she also felt that this situation was a bit unbelievable.
Wang Jian didn't plan to play a guessing game with her, so he raised two fingers and continued to say to her: "There are two reasons, one is really like what he said, he was cowardly and hid to avoid this catastrophe, as our reward to show us the way or as a gift to us as an additional sailor NPC, similar to a random NPC rescue mission." ”
"Hmm." Xu Ling responded in a nasal voice, agreeing with his point of view.
"The other is that he is a member of the Redbeard Pirate Regiment, or the top of this pirate group, but he has no combat effectiveness, but he is very important. That's why the members of the Redbeard Pirates will not hesitate to make suicidal attacks to keep us from approaching, in order to cover up his presence. The best they expected was to sink us and drown us all in the sea. ”
"But now it's proven that this Rak is lying......" Xu Ling vaguely understood the connection.
Wang Jian put down his hand and nodded, and said with a sigh of relief: "So he can only be the high-level of the Redbeard Regiment." This is also the most understandable answer right now. ”
"Could he be Redbeard?" Feng Yi whispered, and after listening to the side for a while, he finally understood what the two of them were talking about, and understood what they were saying.
Xu Ling looked at Wang Jian in shock, knowing that if this was the case, they would really be big and dangerous.
Wang Jian shook his head directly, refuted Feng Yi's speculation and said, "He will definitely not be Redbeard, I think it is very likely that he is the closest person like the military advisor around Redbeard." ”
"Why?" Feng Yi didn't understand why this Lac wasn't Redbeard.
"He doesn't have a beard. Pirates have always given their pirate band the name of their appearance. Since the pirate group he belongs to is Redbeard, there can only be one Redbeard, and this Redbeard is the leader. Wang Jian explained to her.
"But it can't be ruled out that he just shaved his beard. At the beginning, Cao Cao shaved his beard in order to escape for his life. Xu Ling adhered to the idea that she would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, and did not give up the suspicion that this Rak was Redbeard himself.
"I don't rule it out." Wang Jian shrugged his shoulders and agreed with her, so he felt more like he had traveled to this world in this game. Because the NPCs here are so real, if you don't treat them as real people, but just a dull data combination or something, you're guaranteed to be on the losing side.
I think about how many players were tortured and killed by wolves in the forest when the server was launched. It's because at that time, players only regarded the wolves in this game as wolves with fixed attack patterns in some games in the past, and they didn't expect that they had the same tactics as real wolves, and they also knew how to cooperate and escape from behind.
"But how did he end up in the hands of the Bloody Gull Sailors?" Feng Yi still had one last question left to figure out.
Wang Jian was just about to open his mouth, but Xu Ling snatched his words and explained to Feng Yi for him: "It's very simple, he said it himself." The Bloodbeard Sailors accidentally robbed the Redbeard Pirates' cargo ship by mistake, so the Redbeard Pirates sent someone to wipe out the place. Now add to our speculation, and the most real scenario should be that the men of the Bloody Gull Sailor Regiment robbed the redbeard's cargo ship. But there is such an important big man on this cargo ship. In order to save this Lac, Redbeard sent someone to save people, and by the way, the camp of the sailors' regiment was washed in blood, and then he met us. ”
Feng Yi nodded, now he completely understood.
Wang Jian also nodded, admitting that it was Xu Ling who analyzed it like this. Things are not as complicated as they think.
"But since you told him to get on the boat and let him lead the way, do you mean you're going to let us go to Redbeard's base camp?" Xu Ling didn't understand what Wang Jian was trying to do, so she actually planned to let them send it to the door by herself. I'm afraid that others can't avoid it.
"It's all said to be a mission, and now we personally send back the big celebrities around us in person, we can always get some rewards, right?" Wang Jian said with a smile, it seems that he is really simple-minded and does not consider the situation that the other party may rob them by the way.
Xu Ling opened her mouth to remind her of this, but Wang Jian continued, and her smile suddenly cooled, and said, "Besides, when it comes to identity, we are almost pirates. Since they are both pirates, they naturally use the way of communication of pirates. They were polite to us, and maybe even made an ally of the Snake Clan. If they use violence, it's a big deal to see which of the two sides wins with their fists. ”
Xu Ling closed the mouth that was about to open. I remembered that the captain and first mate on their current ship were indeed real pirates, and they dominated the Valoran continent.
From the other party's point of view, they may be being invited into the urn. But from their side, especially from Wang Jian's point of view, the other party is not luring the wolf into the room.
