CH.300 Hundred Claws (Medium)
Donk didn't bother to use the system's port map, and directly asked the newcomer to lead the way in front, and it only took ten or so minutes to find the Night Eternal Tavern.
The tavern is a three-story brick building with deliberately painted black walls, a moonlight depicted in the upper right corner, a wooden sign with a wine glass hanging from under the eaves, and a skeletal pirate flag fluttering on the pointed roof. The exterior of the house was very much to the taste of the pirates, and the shopkeeper had obviously put a lot of thought into decorating it.
Entering the main hall, in the space of more than 100 square meters, there are many pirates, some who are missing arms and legs, some who are wearing various blindfolds, and the common point is that they all carry weapons. There was a commotion in the house, and the pirates were pushing glasses and changing lamps, telling their stories, or bragging.
The arrival of the two Tang Ke did not attract much attention, because it was too chaotic.
"These are the minions of the various pirate groups, and the real pirate leaders are on the third floor. I'll take you up. The newcomer said earnestly.
Donk nodded, walked through the noisy wine table, passed by the fireplace where the pig was roasting, and ascended the ladder to the third floor. In front of a room, there are two big men guarding it.
"It's a meeting of the pirate chiefs here, so don't let in casually." The big man said angrily, his heart guard hair exuding a strong body odor.
"This is the leader of the Dragon Pirate Regiment, and he is qualified to enter here." The newcomer speaks for Donk.
The big man obviously knew Tang Ke's prestige, his eyes lit up, and he looked Tang Ke up and down a few times, and he had no good way to verify his identity, so he could only open the door and let him go. "Okay, you go in. Your henchmen can't go in, though. ”
Of course, Tang Ke couldn't let the newcomer lead the way in vain, he took out a handful of gold coins and rewarded the newcomer casually, so that the newcomer couldn't stop talking about it, and even thanked him.
"Report back to the Black Pearl. There's nothing to do with you here. With that, Donk stepped in with his head held high, surveying the room. The room was much cleaner than downstairs, with a long table in the middle and a dozen people sitting around.
"This is the Donk Leader of the Dragon Pirates." The big man shouted into the room, then closed the door.
The people in the room became agitated, cast stunned glances, and talked a lot. There are all the leaders of some small pirate regiments, and Donk is here to stand out from the crowd.
"How could a celebrity like the leader of the Dragon Pirate Group get here, he shouldn't be an impostor, right?"
There are also several voices of skepticism among them.
Tang Ke didn't explain, and with one hand, he created a stream of red sword qi, allowing the sword qi to swim flexibly between his five fingers, like a small red snake. It was not an easy task to control the sword qi so freely, at least it would take a fifth-order swordsman to do it. This is more convincing than any proof, and those who express skepticism have changed their faces.
"I just arrived here today, and I heard that you're here to study how to deal with centopus, so I'll come and have a look." Donk walked over to the long table and grabbed a chair, but here it was the lower and the upper was in the front. He walked around to the other side lightly, put the chair in his hand in the upper position, and sat down with a grin. He has a very high heart now, and it is impossible for him to sit in the lower position with these third-rate leaders.
The pirate leaders present did not have any objections, only the other pirate leader sitting on the top moved his mouth and showed displeasure. Just now, he was the only one sitting on the top, as if he was the leader of all the evil thieves in this meeting. The pirate leader was in his forties, with a fierce countenance, dressed in a tight and neat manner, carrying a gun on his back and at his waist, and an additional short dagger.
"Don't be cold. Keep talking, I'd like to hear what your plans are. Donk said with a smile, unceremoniously picking up an empty wine glass, pouring in the rum, and pouring himself a drink.
The atmosphere on the field was still awkward, and it fell into a strange silence. The current situation is equivalent to a tiger breaking into a pack of wolves, and it is really difficult for the two sides to get along.
The pirate leader, who was also sitting at the top, spoke, breaking the deadlock.
"We're talking about forming a coalition of pirates to fight the hundredclaws near the harbor. The Dragons Pirates are strong, and if we join us, our chances of victory will be greatly increased. ”
Tang Ke used the investigation technique, and the person who spoke next to him was called Aror, the leader of the Death Ammunition Pirate Regiment, a fifth-order gunner, and his strength was acceptable, no wonder he could sit on the top. The Death Ammunition Pirates have thirteen ships, which is quite a lot, but there are no magic ships, even if they are ordinary ships, they are all small ships, and they can't compare with the well-shipped dragon pirates.
"How many ships, how many men, and what are your chances of victory?" Don Ke asked again and again.
Aror replied, "If we are combined, we can come up with at least thirty-five ships, and there are a few pirate captains who are unwilling to do their best, and I am urging them to make fifty ships if they are willing to do so." As for the manpower, there are nearly 6,000 of them. With such strength, I think I am 90% sure. ”
"Oh? If the odds were so good, I wouldn't be needed. Donk smiled.
"Then why can't you use it? If we had Captain Donk in the lead, it would have been easier for us to win, and it would have reduced our losses and casualties. Arrol changed his words, "I wonder how many ships and how many people Captain Donk brought with him when he came here this time?" ”
"One ship, six hundred people, that's all." Tonk shrugged his shoulders and took another sip of sweet rum.
When the other pirate leaders heard this, they all showed disappointment, and they had expected Donk to bring a few more ships to help a lot.
"That's a pity, if Captain Donk had brought a few more ships here, he would have been able to become a leader, but with only one ship, he would have to be subservient to me." Aror said lightly, raising his waist, "Ming people don't say dark words, the hundred claws are full of treasures, especially the skin, but the rare materials used to make the magic ship are very valuable. Also, these days the Hundred Claws have sunk no less than thirty ships, many of which are loaded with gold and silver treasures, which together are not a small amount. After we jointly attacked and killed the hundred claws this time, we naturally had to judge the reward for meritorious deeds, and whoever contributed more strength would get more 'benefits'. ”
Tang Ke nodded, paused, and asked lightly, "Then what if I kill it alone?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the pirate leaders present were all stunned and looked at Donk in surprise. One man's glass was halfway raised, frozen in mid-air.
"Captain Donk, you're really joking." Aror said with a dry smile.
"It's not funny, I won't mess around. I'm here this time mainly to say hello to you, everyone eats at sea, and in my eyes they are all friends. Still, friends to friends, I don't intend to join your coalition. I want to go it alone and eat this hundred claw. You're 90 percent sure, but I'm 10 percent sure. Donk said.
The audience immediately caused an uproar. Their dozen pirate groups, fifty ships, and nearly six thousand people, had little confidence in the face of the hundred claws. But Donk's ship, 600 people, is full of confidence, as if the hundred-claw fish has become a bag!
"One ship, six hundred people, just want to kill a hundred claws? It's a dream talk. ”
"If the magic ship moves, maybe it can be done. I've heard that the Dragon Pirate Regiment has three magic ships. ”
"The magic ship can't do it either. This hundred-clawed fish is as big as a mountain, and when it stretches out its tentacles, it can pull the magic ship to the bottom of the sea. If the magic ship reaches the bottom of the sea, what kind of majesty can it play. ”
"I heard that Captain Tang Ke is extraordinary, probably because he wants to kill the hundred claws with his own strength."
"But if you want to kill a big guy like a hundred-clawed fish, even a fifth-order swordsman can't do it. The seventh-order swordsman is about the same. ”
Arrol looked uncertain, cleared his throat, and asked, "Captain Tangke, are you so sure?" As you just said, it is impossible for either the Demon Ship or the Fifth-Order powerhouse to kill the Hundred Clawfish. ”
"I naturally have my hole cards, so you don't have to worry about this. For that hundred claw, I'm determined to get it. Donk looked relieved and leaned back in his chair, "But you've already formed a coalition, and it's taken a lot of effort. In order not to hurt the peace, let's discuss. Do you deal with that hundred-claw first, or do I go first? We have a first-come, first-served, whoever kills the hundred-clawed fish will belong to whomever the hundred-clawed fish, so it is fair and reasonable, and no one bullies anyone. ”
Donk was just stating the facts, but when he heard this to other people's ears, he only felt extremely arrogant!
"Haha, good! Since Captain Tang Ke is so capable, how dare we get ahead of you. Within five days, you can do whatever you want, and we await the good news of your triumphant return. Arlor's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile.
Although the other pirate leaders didn't say anything, they also shook their heads slightly, saying that they didn't believe Tangk, after all, it sounded too nonsense.
"Okay, that's settled. It won't take more than five days, and I will definitely get things done in three days, so as not to delay everyone's fortune at sea. Donk slammed his depleted glass on the table like a final word. He could hear the sarcasm in Arlor's words, but he didn't mind.
"Ding! You have inspired a Kraken Hunt quest with the objective of killing the Centopus near Magic Horn Harbor for 10,000 reward points and 50,000 gold. ”
Tang Ke was slightly stunned, then curled the corners of his mouth and quietly closed the prompt box.
"Captain Tang Ke is really an extraordinary person, even more powerful than the rumors from the outside world. One of your ships, six hundred men, is as good as our fifty ships, six thousand. It's amazing, it's amazing. Aror said in a weird way.
"I'll take all your compliments." Tang Ke's qi is getting bigger and bigger, and he won't blush and have a thick neck just because others squeeze a few words, he spread his hands and said, "Let's continue to discuss." If you're done talking, I'll invite you to a drink, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy your faces. ”
Donk has already promised to kill the centur, what else is there to discuss, it is ridiculous to discuss it again, and it seems that he doesn't believe Tangke, who would dare to cause such trouble. The meeting broke up unhappily, and a dozen pirate leaders, a total of eight of them, gave Donk face and went downstairs to drink with him. The pirate leader named Aror, who didn't appreciate his face, made a casual excuse and left the tavern with a gloomy face.
"Captain Donk, that bastard of Aror, seems to have an opinion about you." After three rounds of drinking, there was a pirate leader who was drunk and dazed, his face was red and red, and his mouth was no longer guarded.
"I don't like that guy, don't mention him, spoilt." Donk said, waving his hand. He sat around with several pirate leaders, drinking and chatting, which was very pleasant. He has a high opinion of all pirate leaders, and these people can become the bosses of a group of thugs, and they are all heroes among people.
"Aror is notoriously cautious, and if you sit on the top today and rob him of his prestige, he will definitely hate you. Captain Donk, you have to be careful of this person in the future, so as not to capsize the boat in the gutter. The open-mouthed pirate leader gestured, in the shape of a pistol, "He's the best guy at letting go of a cold gun." ”
The two pirate leaders who were still awake next to him hurriedly blocked this man's mouth, for fear that he would be listened to and cause trouble.
He took the man by the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, and with your heartfelt words, if you are in trouble in the future, even if you look for me, I will definitely help you." ”
"Captain Donk is really bold!" The man was overjoyed and clashed a glass with Donk.
The meal was drunk until midnight, and Tang Ke felt that he really couldn't delay, so he said goodbye to everyone present. He boasted that he would kill the hundred claws in three days, and naturally he would do it as promised. Although he has a lot of hole cards, he has to hold on tightly.
