Chapter 66: Redbeard's Death
Redbeard Jackson sat at Finn's feet with his back to a wall.
The scimitar in his hand had been knocked out in the previous battle by the greatsword known as the Whistling Blade, which was now at his neck, and with a flick of his arm, he would then travel to the realm of the dead in the near future where the soul belonged - or, when a powerful necromancer stumbled upon his remains, turning his mortal soul into a ghost because of resentment and hatred.
In short, the only vampire Sir who could give him the possibility of victory had fled, and the red-bearded pirate captain believed that the young paladin in front of him would cut his throat sooner or later, and that he would surely die anyway.
The only thing that is unknown is only a matter of time.
"Mr. Captain, your allies have abandoned you and fled."
After a moment's blink of an eyelid had passed, Finn condescendingly looked down at the red-bearded pirate captain and spoke.
"It looks like this." Jackson opened the one eye beside his blindfold and looked at Finn, "So, what do you want to do to me?" Kill me? ”
"You still have a chance to live." Finn didn't sentence Jackson to death directly, but said, "As long as you're willing to do something." ”
The pirate captain was stunned for a moment.
Still have a chance to live? What does that mean? - he thought to himself.
But soon, the red-bearded pirate captain guessed Finn's intentions. With decades of life experience, he decided that the young paladin was trying to pry a little windfall out of his mouth.
For example, the details of the Dark Alliance's dealings with him, the treasure map he stumbled upon while robbing an Imperial merchant ship in the past, and the recent news that Hurenger, the largest seaport city in the Violet Kingdom, was not quite right...... Wait a minute.
At the thought of this, a sneer appeared on Jackson's lips.
He raised his gaze contemptuously at Finn, raised one of his hands and made a throat-wiping gesture around his neck, presumably to say, "Do it, there's nothing to say between us." ”
Just as every legendary figure has their own pride, the red-bearded pirate captain has his own dignity and blood. Rather than crying out to a paladin for mercy, he would rather die with the evil glory that a pirate captain deserves.
Fein understood what Jackson meant. He sighed softly, thinking to himself that this old pirate who had been rampant in the waters of the St. Flon Sea for so many years was indeed not a soft egg like Mogordo.
"So, let's do it." He said to himself in his heart.
It's just that before he can solve this future ghost captain with his own hands, he still has a doubt that he was quite concerned about in his previous life.
So, he asked Jackson, "Why did you choose to make a deal with the undead?" ”
As the words fell, Finn focused all his attention on Captain Redbeard in front of him, and as long as the other party dared to play the slightest trick, he would immediately start cutting the other party's throat.
The red-bearded pirate captain kept the sneer on his face and shook his head slightly.
"As long as our consciousness exists, what difference does it make to live or die? Aren't the undead able to move freely? The kingdom on the southern shore of the Saint-Furren Sea no longer holds me, so why should you clergy who talk about justice prevent me from becoming an undead? Amusing. He replied to Fein in a sarcastic tone, "Naive holy warrior, don't think that the sanctuary that yearns for the light is so clean, sooner or later you will slowly drown in this filthy world with your noble ideals." When you're dead, you might be able to become a Black Knight! Hahaha——! ”
As he spoke, he laughed uninhibitedly, unoblivious to the fact that Finn had a greatsword in his hand around his neck.
Finn heard his disdainful laughter, and instead of saying anything, he moved his hand to make the greatsword in his hand slash against Jackson's neck.
The red-bearded pirate captain had a hideous opening in the side of his neck, and blood gushed out of the gap, and the pirate captain's laughter came to an abrupt end, and his head tilted to the side.

As Jackson slumped limp, three system prompts emerged from under Finn's line of sight, proving that the notorious red-bearded pirate captain in front of him on the southern shore of the St. Furren Sea had come to his death.
After killing Jackson, Finn bent the knee of his left foot and half-squatted down in front of Jackson's corpse, stretched out his hand and groped in the opponent's clothes for a while, and then felt that nothing came out of the opponent's body, and then stood up with a "black hand" in his heart, and then walked to the place where Jackson's saber fell.
Finn put away the Whistling Blade and bent down to pick up the saber that the pirate captain had used when he was alive and held it in his hand.
The shape of Jackson's saber is slightly different from that of other pirate minions, in addition to being more elaborate in its appearance, it is also gilded on the gauntlet - this is because in a pirate circle, the captain's saber also symbolizes a leader's voice and dominance in the pirate group, this scimitar is not only Redbeard Jackson's combat weapon, but also his "scepter" as a pirate captain.
Finn, Arroyo, and Raymond were still wearing the pirate costumes they had used to disguise themselves. With Jackson's saber in hand, Finn could have faked Captain Redbeard's orders to the pirates outside the ship, and then led the crowd out of here.
After that, when the pirates in the port area of Azur found out that their esteemed Captain Redbeard was dead, the pirates were a leaderless rabble, and Finn and the cavalry led by Konush could easily drive the invaders from Misty Isle back to the sea.
"Arroyo, Raymond, these are two sheets, you can put the alchemy materials from the alchemy laboratory over there into here and take some away, those things may be useful in the future. Move fast. ”
After confirming the next plan of action in his mind again, Finn took out two void pockets from his body and handed them to Arroyo and Raymond.
"But my lord, Lilith's current situation is a bit strange, should we ...... first? Uh, do something? Arroyo and Raymond came to Finn's side, only to have the empty pocket, turned his head sideways, and looked at the warlock girl who was unconscious by Arya's side, worried.
"We don't know exactly what happened to Lilith, so we'll have to get out of here first." Finn gave a brief explanation to the young thief, then turned and walked over to the witcher elf girl who was supporting Lilith.
"Finn." The elven girl's face was full of worry, "Lilith she ......"
"Trust her first...... Lilith will be fine, she will be fine. Finn looked at the warlock girl who seemed to be asleep, and then looked at Arya's two emerald green pupils and comforted, "When Arroyo and Raymond take some of the loot, we'll return to the town hall from here, and then send a signal to the city lord to converge." We now have Redbeard's saber, a weapon that represents the authority of the pirate captain to a certain extent, and the pirates out there can't stop us. ”
