CH.207 Buying a Corpse

This morning, Longxiang Port was busy as usual, with large and small ships entering and leaving the port, and stevedores unloading all kinds of goods on board and transporting them to shore. On the surface, Longxiang Harbor is no different from the past, the only thing worth noting is that a brand new sailing ship called the Black Pearl has settled in the port, this ship is large and pitch black, with a scrappy dragon head in front of it, and a lifelike dragon scale relief on the hull. On the sails of the Black Pearl, several Wind Blessing Magic Arrays glowed faintly, adding a bit of beauty and momentum to the ship. The Black Pearl was obviously a ship with a large waist and a large capacity, but it was not carrying cargo, and it seemed that the ship was here to hang out, not to do business.

The Black Pearl attracted the attention of some people, everyone put down their work, gathered together to discuss the discussion, and some even wrote poems on the spot to praise the ship, but the rhythm was very poor, causing a lot of ridicule. As soon as the Black Pearl appeared, it was in the limelight on the docks, but the people who disembarked from the ship were very low-key and did not talk to outsiders.

The owner of the Black Pearl was naturally Donk, and he only brought a small group of pirates with him this time, dressed as ordinary merchants as usual, with a beard on his chin, a hat that covered his head and face, and a forged certificate of nationality of the Dragon's Tooth Country, a trading license, and a certificate of commerce.

As soon as Tang Ke stepped onto the wooden bridge of the pier of Longxiang Port, a system sound sounded in his head, and a port information appeared. The port is an iconic port of the Dragon's Tooth Country, with a geographical location, busy trade, very strong defense capabilities, and a shipyard, a military factory, a maritime academy and a naval base, making it a semi-commercial and semi-military port. After completing the procedures for entering the port and staying temporarily, he settled his men and went to the local "Skull Church" with a bag of coins.

Three days later, a local execution is held, and the prisoners to be executed are members of the Cannon Pirates, and after the execution, the prisoners are eventually sent to the Church of the Skull. If Donk wanted to get his hands on the corpses, the most direct way was to contact the pastor of the church and buy them for real money.

The so-called Church of the Skull is a special building scattered all over the place, part of which functions like an ordinary church, a place of prayer for the Holy Cross, and part of its function is to hold the skeletons of the dead. In the basement of the church, there are several huge rooms with stacked skeletons that are too numerous to count. After the deceased is sent here, they must first be sent to the underground crypt until the body decomposes naturally, and then the decomposing body is disposed of into a skeleton, and finally the skeleton is placed in the church for permanent storage.

Donk hadn't personally entered the Church of the Skulls to see it, but had only heard others talk about what it was looking at.

The room with the skeletons exudes an eerie atmosphere, these skeletons are very neatly arranged and orderly, and standing in front of the pile of skeletons creates the illusion that those skeletons have souls hidden in them, and they are still alive. Just one glance in this room will be unforgettable, even nightmares.

There are two reasons for the formation of the Skull Church, one is for religious reasons, the deceased must always have a home, and the other is because the cemetery area is not enough, so the corpses can only be disposed of in this way.

Donk relied on money to go on the offensive, and things went well, and the priest of the Church of the Skull accepted the money and promised to give the body to Donk. Since the deal was somewhat bizarre, the priest suspiciously asked Donk why he needed the body, and Donk certainly couldn't tell the truth. Fortunately, the hush money was enough, and the pastor wisely chose to shut up in the end.

Things are set, all that remains is to wait.

Tang Ke and his subordinates were rarely honest for three days, and finally survived the day of execution. The execution was held in public at the local execution platform, which was large and surrounded by a square as wide as a square. Although the execution was horrifying, it attracted a large crowd of onlookers, including local residents and merchants who had always hated pirates. Tang Ke mingled in the crowd and watched the execution. The audience around him was yelling, and many were scolding the pirates, and he could only take these words as a deaf ear.

A large number of guards remained vigilant with the sailors, who wore bright armor and sailors in solemn uniforms, who formed a square formation to fend off the spectators on the perimeter. The commanders, including the local admiral and the admiral, began to enter.

When Donk saw the chief's team, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he showed a wry smile on the narrow road.

"Michael, I didn't expect you to come."

In the ranks of the chiefs, Michael, one of the three heroes, was on the list, and even presided over the execution. Donk doesn't have a crush on Michael, or rather, he doesn't have a crush on all the Navy.

After the commanders took their seats with serious faces, the members of the Giant Cannon Pirate Regiment were brought up, and according to the news, there were more than seven hundred people.

Noah, the leader of the pirate group, wore heavily armed handcuffs and shackles, and even wore an iron hood like an iron hoop on his head, and the heavy metal added up to 50 kilograms. The handcuffs and shackles were stained with blood, old and new, overlapping each other to form a blinding dark red. As for the ordinary pirate group, it is also not easy, almost everyone has wounds on their bodies, and they must have suffered a lot these days.

Noah was able to become the leader of the pirates with more than 700 people, so he naturally had some skills, he was the same as Tang Ke, he was a fourth-order swordsman, and ordinary handcuffs couldn't be locked at all. But the Empire's handcuffs are no ordinary handcuffs, they have a debilitating curse on them, and once they are worn, the strength of the body will disappear for no apparent reason. Whether you were a hero or a hero, once you put on these handcuffs, you can only be a bear.

For the pirates, this journey is the road to death, and when they come to the end, their lives come to an end. Except for Noah, who is the leader, who is quite honest, the rest of the pirates are a little uncontrollable, and several of them are scolding. One of the pirates also took off his pants in front of the audience and humiliated the audience with a fart slap * stock, obviously wanting to leave the world a little more uncomfortable before he died.

The pirate's attitude angered the onlookers, who also insulted the dying pirate with all kinds of foul language. In the audience, only one woman, who was a memorial girl, sighed at her dying lover, and then disappeared into the crowd.

The sailors, with their fists and kicks and crackling whips, drove the pirates to the gallows like sheep.

The gallows can hang up to twenty people at a time, which is very efficient, in addition to the ordinary hanging tools, there is also a red stone statue in the shape of a flying dragon, with a hideous appearance, a large mouth of a black hole, and a blackened stone pillar erected in front of the stone statue. This extra stone statue was not just an ornament, but a brutal burning instrument used to execute some of the most important criminals, such as a pirate leader like Noah.

Everything was in order, Michael walked up to the stage to speak, and his appearance made many young girls in the audience make a burst of private discussions, he is very famous in the country of dragon teeth, and is the perfect partner in the minds of many unmarried women. It's all because Michael is a perfect man, which is why so many women think about it. He was born with a handsome face that fascinated people and did not pay for his life, and his eyes were full of male charm, because he was a sixth-order martial artist, his figure was tall and burly, his muscles were one by one, and he had no fat, and he was also the youngest naval colonel, and his future was bright.

Impeccable perfection, this is Sanjie Michael.

Michael first praised the greatness of the Dragon's Tooth Country, and then said in a cold voice: "Noah, a member of the criminal cannon pirate group, and others have committed the crimes of piracy, homicide, and extortion...... and many other crimes, sentenced to death, executed immediately! ”

The audience was waiting for this sentence, and immediately erupted in cheers, which were also mixed up with some of the little girl's screams, many of which were probably given to Michael.

The first to be executed was Noah, the first evil, who was pushed before the red dragon statue, stood still in front of a pillar, and then chained to the pillar. The executioner walked behind the statue and pulled the mechanism. The eyes and mouth of the red dragon stone statue lit up, and first it spewed hot air, and after brewing for a while, it spewed out a fierce flame.

"Ah!!h Noah let out a wail of unwillingness, and struggled violently in the flames, his clothes and flesh began to burn, turning into grease or ashes. A disgusting scorching smell seeped through.

The scene was very shocking, and the audience who had just cheered just now stopped a lot, silently watching the deserving pirate die in the flames, and the faces of the crowd reflected the scorching fire.

Don Ke silently took off his hat and closed his eyes in mourning for a moment, the men who dared to beg for food at sea were all manly, and this alone deserved his respect.

In the midst of the raging flames, the pirate leader ended his life of sin, and was reduced to scorched earth, leaving only a blackened iron skeleton standing there.

The crowd began to cheer again.

Donk only gave condolences to Noah, who was the leader, and when the rest of the minions were hanged, he just watched indifferently. He waited until the execution was over, and when the spectators had dispersed, he also left, but did not go far, but observed the whereabouts of the corpses in the shadows.

For the first time in his life, he had treated corpses as a good thing, and although the demon language on the treasure chest did not indicate what corpses were needed, Donk still felt that it was safer to use fresh corpses, after all, it was a sacrifice for demons.

Between life and death, but there was only a line apart, and the pirates who were still screaming just now were so quiet that there was no sound at all, and all of them were reduced to corpses lying on their horizons.

The body was removed by the guards and sent to the priest of the Church of the Skull.

Donk kept an eye on the transportation of the bodies until all the bodies were handed over to the priest before he showed up to negotiate with the priest.

"Hurry up and pull the body away, remember to cover it up, don't let anyone find out! If the news gets out, I'll have to be punished! ”

Although the corpse is really useless waste, the priest is also an act of power for personal gain, so he is very nervous.

Douck was even more reluctant than the priest, and he led the men to load the corpses onto carts or wagons with the fastest movements, covered them with a quilt, and nailed the corners of the quilt to prevent the wind from blowing it open. More than 700 corpses, more than 50 carts and carriages. After loading the corpses, they immediately left and picked some off-the-beaten-path roads to move forward, bypassing the noisy city and running non-stop to the docks.

When they were about to reach the docks, Donk and the others came to a narrow street. There were no people on the road, but several men suddenly turned out of the alley, and these people chatted in low voices, one of them was about thirty years old, wearing the official uniform of the Dragon's Tooth Country, and the others seemed to be retinues or subordinates.

With a team like Donk, it's hard not to get noticed. The bureaucrats stared at Tang Ke for a few moments, felt that there was nothing special, and continued to talk.

Donk drove a carriage and passed by the people, there were so many people on the road that he didn't take it seriously, anyway, he was already dressed in disguise, and he wasn't afraid of being recognized.

Coincidentally, at this time, a cart was too old, a screw was loosened, the wheel of the car was crooked, and the car fell on the side of the road. It's not a big deal, but a blood-stained foot sticks out of the gap in the quilt, and it's a big problem!

The troubled pirate hurriedly stood up and shoved the exposed human feet back into the covers.

The bureaucrats happened to see this scene, but because the pirates moved quickly and hurriedly stuffed it back, they didn't seem to see the foot, only the bureaucrats in the lead frowned.

The troubled pirate looked nervously at the man, a few sweats running down his neckline.

The bureaucrat smiled lightly: "Sir, you must pay attention to safety when you work." After saying that, he took the people away as if nothing happened.

The pirate thought that the bureaucrat did not see the leg, wiped his sweat and said, "Thanks for the reminder, I wish you a good afternoon." ”

Donk drove ahead, and when he heard the movement, he tightened his reins, turned around and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

The damaged pirate was afraid of Donk's punishment, and hurriedly lied: "Nothing! Nothing! The pirates were all concerned about their own business just now, and they didn't notice the foot, so no one exposed the lie.

Donk didn't suspect it, turned around and continued driving. A group of pirates just left.

As for the bureaucrat, he had spoken lightly, but when he turned away, his face turned pale, as if he had been seriously ill. Several people around him were still chatting, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the convoy behind him was gone.

"There was a problem with that group of people just now." The bureaucrat frowned.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and the hot topic just now also came to an abrupt end, and they all looked at the bureaucrats, and one of them asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"One of the trolleys in that group overturned, revealing a bloodied foot, which I suspect is probably a corpse! Also, those people are all five big and three thick, and they don't look like good people no matter how you look at them, which is also a suspicious point. ”

Several people shook their heads, saying that they didn't see any human feet, but their expressions were solemn.

"Then why didn't you just say that?"

"There are so many of them, do I say that I am looking for death?" The bureaucrat said in a deep voice, "Let's go and report this matter to Colonel Michael and let him decide." ”
