"What a pirate meeting." This is Fang Yan's evaluation after the fact.

It was not so much a meeting as a war of scolding, and the "friendly exchanges" of the giants of all parties were filled with the smell of gunpowder, and each other exchanged saliva "intimately" with "enthusiastic" smiles on their faces, as if they were going to collapse each other's brains in the next moment. During the meeting, Fang Yan had been guessing when this group of people would fight.

However, Fang Yan's expected result did not appear, and the meeting finally ended successfully in Planck's concluding sentence of "Who has one more nonsense Lao Tzu shot him", and the ambush location and time of this operation were set. What the? What do you say about the specific course of action? Just kidding, if a pirate is willing to follow orders, is it still called a pirate? When the time comes, they will be all old fritters on the sea, even if they are not agreed in advance, it will not be difficult to make a simple cooperation depending on the situation - of course, Fang Yan feels that the probability of selling each other's teammates and stabbing them in the back is greater.

Leaving the temporary meeting point behind Xia Mang, walking and walking, Fang Yan was a little wrong, this was not the way he came. asked Xia Mang in a low voice, and Xia Mang said lightly: "We are looking for Blackbeard, don't you have a curse on you." ”

Fang Yan was stunned, although he stayed on the ship for a few days and didn't feel it intuitively, he still planted the impression that "Xia Mang didn't like Holly to look at" from the clues, so he had always been wary of Xia Mang. But now, Xia Mang took the initiative to take him to Blackbeard to lift the curse?

"Does he want me to lift the curse and leave early, lest Hawley's popularity and prestige on the ship increase?" There was malicious speculation in his heart, but this did not prevent Fang Yan from sincerely saying "thank you" to Xia Mang, after all, he was the biggest beneficiary no matter what.

But after thinking about it, Fang Yan still felt uneasy. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Captain, it is said that it will cost a lot to ask Blackbeard for help, but I don't have the dark magic materials he needs right now......"

Xia Mang's footsteps kept leading the way in front of him, and he said in a flat tone: "He will sell my face." But if the curse is severe, wait until this afterthought. At that time, you can raise your own materials. ”

Fang Yan nodded heavily and said sincerely, "Thank you, Captain." ”

What responded to Fang Yan was Xia Mang's silence. He wasn't a talker, and the three of them were silent for the rest of the journey until they reached Blackbeard's boat. Although the pirates guarding the ship did not look friendly, no one dared to say anything when they saw Xia Mang moving down the stairs with a blank face. Get out of the way and let Chamang get on board.

However, from the expressions of these pirates, Fang Yan also confirmed his guess: "Sure enough, the relationship between Xia Mang and Blackbeard is not good. Although they both belong to the Whitebeard Pirate Regiment, there are only a few old men with Whitebeard on the ship, and they are hostile to each other because of their rivalry as successors. ”

When the group got on board. Marshall, the blackbeard he had seen at the makeshift meeting point before, was already waiting there, and of course it was more likely that he had just returned and received the news of Shamang's arrival before he had time to enter. Since his nickname is "Blackbeard", he naturally has a large black circled beard, a rough face and a bloody sneer that always hangs on the corner of his mouth, which looks like a standard pirate captain. Although Blackbeard is a master of black magic, he is not as gloomy and mysterious as ordinary black magicians, and his first impression of Fang Yan when they first met before was somewhat similar to Holly's feeling, but with a little more philistine and arrogance, the momentum on his body was obviously stronger.

Xia Mang and Blackbeard just nodded and said hello when they met. There was no hint of hostility in the expressions of the two at this time, but there was no fake enthusiasm, and the attitudes of both of them were very flat. This was different from what Fang Yan thought at the beginning.

There was no politeness, Blackbeard got straight to the point and said, "Xia Mang, what's the matter with me?" Don't say you want to join forces with me in this operation. After saying that, he sneered.

Xia Mang said lightly: "There is no need to unite, we will not trust each other." I'm just coming to you this time just to ask you to help lift the curse on this little brother next to me, you...... It can't be done, right? ”

Blackbeard grinned, "Of course you can." But you also know that the cost of learning dark arts is very high, so you can't let me help for nothing, can you? ”

"Let's take a look at it first." Chamang's answer was brief but irrefutable.

In Fang Yan's expectant gaze on the side. Blackbeard finally nodded after thinking about it, and turned around to guide Xia Mang and Fang Yan to his captain's room. Second mate Rutgers waited on deck. Blackbeard's captain's room is very different from that of Shaman, who is simple and clean without much decoration, but can make people feel very good taste and style, but Blackbeard's room can only be described as eerie.

Opening the door, the light inside was dim, and the cold and damp atmosphere reminded Fang Yan of a reptilian nest. There are a lot of things in the house, which seem to be a bit crowded, most of them are the dark magic materials that Blackbeard commonly uses, such as biological limbs soaked in some kind of viscous liquid, canned blood, potions that look quite dangerous, and many other things that seem strange and strange to ordinary people. If ordinary people saw this, they would probably be scared and have nightmares for several days in a row, but the few people present were calm.

"Sit." Sitting down in front of a black wooden rough table, Blackbeard raised his hand and motioned for Fang Yan to sit opposite him, and Fang Yan sat down as he said.

Looking at Fang Yan and thinking for a moment, Blackbeard said in as concise and understandable language as possible, "What type of curse is you?" Is there any place on your body that has the mark of a curse? ”

"Yes." Fang Yan nodded.

Blackbeard raised his hand and motioned for Fang Yan to take off his clothes to reveal the place where the curse mark was, and said confidently in his mouth: "It's easy to see the curse mark, this kind of curse is generally not profound, and it can be solved easily...... You'd rather show it up and let me see it! ”

Fang Yan was stunned, turned sideways and pointed to his left shoulder and said, "The mark of the curse is here, you can see the mark as big as a fist at a glance, right?" ”

Blackbeard's face sank: "Are you fooling me?" There was no mark of anything in the slick area! ”

Fang Yan looked at Blackbeard in disbelief, and looked down at his shoulder, where the white crown skull tattoo was clearly printed. Looking up at Xia Mang blankly, Fang Yan's eyes were full of doubts.

Xia Mang frowned. "My boatswain," he said, "you really don't have any mark there. Isn't it...... You were shipwrecked at that time and had hallucinations? ”

Fang Yan was helpless, he really didn't know how to explain it, he raised his hand and swore that it was definitely not an illusion, it was a real memory! I must have fallen under a curse!

Then. Blackbeard, who had been silent just now, raised his head and said, "He does have a curse on him. ”

Fang Yan and Xia Mang looked at Blackbeard together, Fang Yan's eyes were full of surprise and expectation, but Xia Mang's eyes were full of doubts.

Blackbeard said: "When you were emotional just now, I vaguely felt a curse on your shoulder, considering that you don't look like a fool who is idle and has nothing to do to tease us, I assume that you have been cursed." ”

Fang Yan leaned into Blackbeard's body with some excitement: "That...... Is there a way to cancel it? ”

Blackbeard sneered and spread his hands, "I can't even find it." You still expect me to help you lift the curse? Hehe, I can't do anything about your curse. ”

Fang Yan's hand drooped, he lowered his head and bit his lip, a flash of loss flashed in his eyes. With this curse, even Blackbeard, who is one of the top powerhouses in the Sea of Watch, can't do anything about it?

That's when it happened. Blackbeard asked aloud, "Little ghost, I ask you, who put your curse on you?" Don't...... Is it the Dark Lord? ”

Then, without waiting for Fang Yan to answer, Blackbeard shook his head in denial, and said to himself: "Impossible, even the Dark Lord can't make it impossible for me to not even sense it, who is it?" Who exactly has such terrible abilities? ”

Fang Yan, who was worried about cursing, didn't notice that the faces of Xia Mang and Blackbeard became ugly at the same time at this moment. A strong man with this power...... At this juncture, what they are most afraid of is variables!

"Say! Who is the curse! Blackbeard snapped.

Hesitated for a moment. Fang Yan still decided not to tell the truth: "Actually, I don't know...... I had been on a boat trip to Piltover, but when I came to my senses one night later I found myself lying on a sampan and wandering on the surface of the sea, with the mark of the curse on my shoulder. The whole ship was gone...... I don't know what happened, I slept very deeply that night, and I didn't feel anything abnormal at all! ”

Fang Yan's tone of voice was a little excited, as if he was immersed in that memory. As he spoke, his eyes met Blackbeard's, and there was sincerity in his eyes...... He almost fooled himself. I couldn't tell why, but his intuition told Fang Yan that the matter of the "ghost ship" could not be easily told to others, and this intuition had saved him several times.

"That's right......" Blackbeard nodded incredulously. Touching his beard, he said, "So be it." You lie down there and I'll collect some samples - don't worry, your captain is still watching here, and then I'll study it slowly to see if I can unravel the secret. In addition, you have to figure it out yourself. Wait until after this feast to get some gifts and find a chance to meet the Dark Lord, he is the only person on this sea who is better than me in the realm of dark magic. ”

To be on the safe side, Fang Yan cautiously asked, "Excuse me, what is the 'sample collection' for?" ”

His hand was still touching his beard, and Blackbeard smiled uncharacteristically heartily: "Your curse is on your shoulder, and of course collecting samples will cut off your shoulder." ”

Fang Yan was shocked.

Xia Mang said lightly: "He's joking." ”

Seeing Fang Yan's expression, Blackbeard laughed: "Hahahaha, I'll ask you if you're afraid!" Taking a sample is just collecting some of your breath there, and it won't hurt you. ”

Gritting his teeth a little nervously, Fang Yan turned his head to see the "go quickly" expression on Xia Mang's face, then turned his head to look at Blackbeard, and nodded fiercely in his heart in agreement. Now that he can't help it, if he refuses, there is no doubt that it will be a slap in the face to Xia Mang and Blackbeard, Fang Yan can only choose to believe the two of them.

Lying face up on a swarthy bed according to Blackbeard's instructions, Fang Yan took a tube of potion from Blackbeard's hand and drank it with his head up, then his consciousness blurred for a while, and he fell into a deep sleep after a few seconds. Blackbeard, who was standing next to Fang Yan, held a test tube and a delicate little brush in both hands, and began to slowly brush on Fang Yan's shoulder, brushing something that could not be seen into the test tube. It seems that as he said, the collection of samples will not cause any harm to the inflammation.

Looking at Blackbeard's movements, Xia Mang suddenly said, "That existence that casts the curse, will it have any impact on our plans?" ”

Blackbeard slowly collected his breath and said without raising his head, "No." The Sea of Watch is so big, and it's normal to have a few old monsters hiding in some dark corners, and I know a few. These old monsters generally don't leave their location, some can't leave, some don't want to go, and it doesn't affect us. ”

A glint flashed in Xia Mang's eyes: "Then, it's time to talk about business." (To be continued)
