CH.328 Return to Dragon's Nest Island
After haggling in the middle of the night, Donk got a lot of promises from Emily and had already negotiated a way to become a pirate royal. Once Donk signed the contract and accepted the status of a royal pirate, he received a cash reward of viscount, two fiefdoms, five ships, and 20,000 gold coins.
After receiving these substantial rewards, there are only three things to do for Donk.
First, it was forbidden to attack the ships of the Greenland Empire again; second, to target the fleet of the Comanso Empire, whether it is a merchant ship or a military ship, as long as it is seen, it will be robbed; Third, if there is an edict, it must obey the dispatch of the edict.
Emily made a promise that she would not use edicts to summon Donk, and would only summon Donk to help when there was a major battle. It was in this way that Donk agreed to become a royal pirate.
Since Donk had to go back to Dragon's Nest Island to get married, he shirked the matter and agreed with Emily that he would go to the Greenland Empire to be crowned in the future.
In order to ensure that they can work together happily in the future, Emily gives Donk two documents, one is an exoneration and the other is a protection agreement. With the protection of these two documents, Donk was spared from attack on all the navies of the Greenland Empire when he encountered them at sea.
Of course, if Donk repents, Emily can turn the two documents into scrap paper with just one statement.
After chatting about business, Emily took out her glass and drank with Donk. Before leaving, she glanced at Elizabeth and said with a smile: "I'll leave immediately, you can continue to do what you just did." But I have to warn you, it's windy here, so be careful of getting cold. ”
Elizabeth's face turned red all of a sudden, and she secretly pinched Donk's back, maintaining a kind smile on her face, and replied: "Thank you Miss Emily for your concern, I think there must be a lot of men and women in the city who are in love, you can fly faster, and you can watch a few more good shows." It's the first time I've seen a special hobby like Miss Emily. ”
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of open-air 'show'."
"If you don't fly away quickly, you may miss more 'good shows', and if you don't watch enough, you probably won't be able to sleep, right?"
"How so. It's a pity to miss the 'good show' you starred in. ”
"Sooner or later, one day, you will definitely put on a more wonderful 'good show'."
"Impossible, because I'm afraid of catching a cold."
Elizabeth was caught today, no matter how she fights, she seems to be lacking in confidence, she has been at a disadvantage, she is anxious and angry, and the strength in her hands is getting bigger and bigger, and she secretly complains about Tang Ke.
In fact, Emily doesn't like to fight with people, but she just doesn't admit defeat by nature. Elizabeth's words were tingling, and she naturally had to fight back.
The two women are arguing with each other, you come and go, and the fight is inseparable. Emily, who was about to sail away, refused to leave after levitating in the sky for a while.
Tang Ke glanced back and forth between the two women a few times, secretly embarrassed, what kind of trouble is this?
"Okay, since you say so, you may be the type who is not good at 'acting' by nature, and I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to 'act' with others in the future." Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and cursed in a huff.
"You have to risk catching a cold to put on a good show, so you don't have to act." Emily snorted disapprovingly.
"Miss Emily is absolutely absolute, but I've heard a few little anecdotes about you. The rumors include many rich children and aristocratic young masters, have you really not acted with anyone? ”
"Of course not, if they want to act with me, they are not worthy."
The two women are still not in the mood for a ceasefire.
Donk couldn't wait, otherwise his back would have to be pinched, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Colonel Emily, let's say goodbye, I'll go to you when the appointed date comes." ”
Emily recognized that this was an eviction order, gave Elizabeth a final defiant look, and sailed away.
"This woman is so hateful." Elizabeth looked at the empty night sky and stamped her foot angrily, "I really want to teach her a good lesson." ”
It was the first time that Donk had seen Elizabeth mess around like a child, and he only thought it was funny. He coaxed Elizabeth for a while, and the two waited until dawn.
The tsunami came and went so fast that the waves had long since receded, leaving only a mess. The entire wooden buildings of Magnolia Harbor have been washed away, and only a few stone buildings remain.
Anyway, the whole port was gone, and Donk and Elizabeth found an empty house halfway up the mountain to live in for the time being, waiting for their men to pick them up.
After another five days, a common cargo ship disguised as a pirate ship arrived at Magnolia Harbor and picked up Donk and Elizabeth. The ship entered the sea, joined the Black Pearl, Cangyan and other ships, and rushed to Longchao Island together.
During the voyage, Donk and Elizabeth spent their honeymoon like glue, and went to the coastal ports to buy the necessary things for marriage, the most important of which were rings and wedding dresses. On a whim, Donk hired an artist to draw a "wedding photo" for the two of them and hung it in the captain's room. Elizabeth was deeply fond of the move.
Although Donk didn't plan to publicize it, his group of talkative subordinates still leaked the news of their marriage, and many pirate groups knew about it, and spread it farther and farther.
Aside from Donk's personal affairs, everything else in the fleet was in order.
One ear has learned a lot from Garvey's design drawings and learned esoteric techniques that Garvey had previously concealed, and he has benefited a lot. The two elite-level demonic beasts also made rapid progress, and their bodies continued to transform and strengthen, and they both advanced in a short period of time and became qualified swordsmen. Because of their strength, the two of them are much stronger than swordsmen of the same rank.
After a long journey, Donk returned to Dragon's Nest Island at the end of the solar month of 1748 in the Golden Sea Calendar, and returned to his home.
The sun is shining. The flotilla led by the Cangyan sailed into the harbor of Longchao Island, and everyone began to shout and cheer at the shore from a long distance. A few thick and long tentacles suddenly stretched out from the sea in front of them, and everyone was startled, thinking that they had encountered a sea monster. Then, there was a large head in the sea with its head exposed, and a conch-shaped hard shell was wrapped on the outside, and on each side of the hard shell were a large round eyeball.
"Don't be afraid, it's the Heartsnatcher Ammonite, our accomplice." Donk shouted with a laugh. He had just used an investigative technique to find out the details of the octopus, which was the small chapter he had recruited when he was in the Little Pirate City.
At that time, because Xiao Zhang was too small in size and had no attack power, he kept it on the ship and did not participate in the battle. Later, Tang Ke crossed into the sea of clouds, and Xiao Zhang followed the boat to Dragon's Nest Island, where he gradually grew up.
The Heartsnatcher Ammonite swam to starboard and stretched out a few tentacles, slamming into the sea, causing huge waves that splashed the pirates on the deck. With its current size, it is enough to overturn a medium-sized ship by brute force.
Tang Kexi smiled, Xiao Zhang's strength is very considerable now, and he can participate in the war.
"Long time no see, Captain, let me hug you!" Xiao Zhang was coquettish like a child, stretched out two wet tentacles, and climbed onto the deck. Despite its huge size, its actual age is very small.
Donk couldn't refuse, and let the two tentacles wrap him up.
Xiao Zhang lifted Tang Ke in front of his eyes and rubbed it a few times affectionately, and then let Tang Ke go.
The fleet approached, and Donk wiped a little slime from his face as he watched the weathered harbor.
After all this time, the port of Dragon's Nest Island has changed dramatically. At the pier is a row of orderly wooden bridges, each of which is very strong and thick. A long and narrow parapet wall was piled up on the shore, on which there were hundreds of forts, and each cannon carried a majestic and high-spirited demeanor. Gone are the rows of low-rise wooden houses, replaced by a continuous cluster of buildings, many of which are three or even four storeys. Due to the absorption of local indigenous architectural styles, many tree houses have been built in the forests further afield.
Tang Ke is very pleased with the speed of the port's development, and if this continues, Dragon's Nest Island will be able to become a large port within a year. However, whether Longchao Island will be opened to the outside world in the future is still a question.
The fleet quickly docked, lowered the wooden bridge, and everyone rushed ashore to reunite with friends they hadn't seen for a long time. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the port, forming a large area of black oppression.
"Keep me in good formation, don't rush up in a swarm, do you want to squeeze the regiment commander to death?" A woman shouted crisply.
When the pirates on the shore heard this, they immediately became more honest and retreated some distance to the sides, leaving a way for the people on board.
Tang Ke followed the prestige in the past, and the woman who maintained order was Wendy, the sea elf, who had not seen her for so long, and Wendy's body had also undergone some changes, and she was a little more wild and heroic.
Wendy's face was still veiled, her pale blue skin was slightly tanned, and she wore a string of crystal skull earrings in her coral-shaped right ear, and she was wearing a leather waistcoat on the outside, and the clothes on the inside were very tight, holding the proud twin peaks high. She wore a pair of trousers on the lower half of her body, but the left trouser leg was torn off, revealing a string of delicate coral bush patterns tattooed on the long leg. She restricts a group of pirates all day long, and she can't be tough if she isn't tough.
Inadvertently, Donk and Wendy met with each other, and their eyes fused together, which contained nostalgia and ambiguous affection.
Elizabeth, who was on the side, deliberately glanced at Donk.
Wendy caught this small action and forcibly moved her eyes away, her blue eyes dimmed, but this was only a momentary thing, she immediately cheered up, raised her hand to the sky, and took the lead in shouting: "Ten thousand pirates on Dragon's Nest Island, welcome back Captain Tangk!" ”
"Welcome back to Captain Donk!" The surrounding pirates then erupted into a louder cry, shocking the entire island and causing a series of responses, and the beasts all over the mountain roared.
