After a few low-key outings, Donk had a clear picture of the situation in the Twin Ports, and he knew the strength of the enemy he was about to face, as well as the enemy's current moves. He felt a little sorry for Alyssa's anxious husband to wait any longer, and he decided to make a move, directing the enemy to the unpredictable archipelago of death through letters.

In a small hotel in disrepair, in a lonely room in the corner of the hallway. The surrounding wooden walls are an uncomfortable iron blue, and the circular scars on the walls are like gloomy eyeballs, deep decay. The curtains in the room were lowered to block out the sunlight, and only a little light penetrated through the cracks, forming shiny lines that seemed to have been cut by a knife's edge. The breath of the four men was mixed together in a closed environment.

They formed a circle, and the other three looked at Donk, the two ordinary pirates, and Red Locke, a sassy guy.

Tonk was very solemn, and he placed a letter on the table, the skin of which was pale and stained with blood-red sealing mud.

"Lauren, Silverblade," Donk's gaze wandered over the two men's faces, "I'll give you the letter, and in three days' time, you two will find a way to get it to Kirwin's castle, and then leave here and head to Sook Harbor, after which I'll send a ship to pick you both up." ”

Lauren was a skinny pirate, nodding without saying a word. The silver-handled knife man only has a nickname, and he also pats his furry chest to ensure that the task is completed.

"What are you two going to do with this mission?" Donk tentatively said that if the other party's answer did not satisfy him, he would do it for someone else.

"That's not easy." "Hire a man outside to deliver the letter, and we'll keep an eye out there, and when the letter arrives, we'll take the carriage to the port of Sooke." That way, all is well. ”

Lauren glanced at the silver-handled knife before adding, "It's not that lightweight. We have to make sure that the messenger is reliable, and it is better to choose a child to do this. We also have to hide our true colors as much as possible, so as not to be made into portraits and glued everywhere. You can't take a carriage when you run away, so it's better to buy two horses in advance. ”

Although the identity of the Evil Dragon Pirate Group will definitely be revealed afterwards, it is better not to explain the details before meeting, so that the enemy will have a sense of fear in the valley.

Donk nodded with satisfaction, Lauren's subordinate was more reassuring. He placed two heavy brown leather bags on the table, and there was a beautiful sound of gold coins colliding inside. A heavy task will be rewarded with the same weight.

"These two bags of gold coins are yours, so make sure you get this thing done." Tang Ke admonished, his simple words carrying the entrustment of the safety of the whole group.

"Die to live up to your mission." Lauren solemnly promised.

"It's up to you two." Donk stood up, picked up his accompanying package, and left with Red Locke.

The small room was much more spacious, and the remaining two could only wait boredly.

The Donk pirates could not wait until the day the letter was delivered to leave by boat, because Kerwin and Michael would likely immediately lock down the entire harbor and launch a large-scale search campaign, which would be detrimental to Serenade's travel. As a result, Donk had to leave only two people to deliver the letters, and he and most of the pirates had to leave in advance on the Serenade in order to avoid the risk.

On that day, the Serenade bid farewell to the tense atmosphere of the twin ports and sailed directly to the dead chess archipelago, which had buried countless ships. Although they were heading for a sea full of dangers, Donk was not afraid at all, his heart was filled with irritated emotions, and it was difficult for him to help himself. He is about to receive the Mermaid Key, which will open the mysterious Demon Chest, and he concludes that the Heart of the Demon Ship is a good thing that will greatly strengthen the Pirate Clan. His excitement was transmitted to every move, and the small ship Serenade was steered at a galloping speed, and every sail of various shapes was blown.

Lauren and Silverblade, the two pirates, stayed in the Twin Harbors for two days in a low-key manner, during which time they only went out to buy two fast horses, and became familiar with how to ride them, and they did not ride fast, and fell down a few times, and Silverblade was so angry that he almost slaughtered the horse. After stumbling and riding for a long time, the two of them were finally able to ride their horses away.

On the third day, the two of them set out on a mission to deliver letters, looking for candidates on the side of the road, and finally chose a clever boy who sells newspapers. They both wore wide-brimmed hats, burying their faces in the shadows and pulling their collars high. They claimed to be introducing the boy to a job delivering letters, and showed enough errand money to make the boy blush. The little boy took on the errand with the courage to do so. Before the boy set out for the battle, the silver-handled knife frightened the little boy a few words, depicting the end of the boy's failure to deliver the letter as if it were the worst nightmare.

The boy did as he was instructed to carry the letter to the castle of Kirwin. He didn't know why, but the textured silver coins in his pocket gave him courage.

Lauren and Silverblade were secretly following the boy, and as they approached the castle and the pedestrians became sparse, the two of them led their horses into the woods, and even the silverblade, which talked a lot, kept its foul mouth shut. They hid in the distance, lurking in the grass, while the horses were tied to the trees deep in the forest. They watched as the little boy handed the letter to the doorman, and then, with great relief, moved slowly, and after being far away from the castle, turned and ran wildly.

The two pirates found their horses, and without looking back, went straight to the port of Sooke, and departed in the dust.

…… In the splendid living room, all kinds of gold and silver objects are reflected, the light in the room is enough to make the eyes of the common people dizzy, and in the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror, several richly dressed figures are reflected, two of them are the handsome Michael and the depressed Kirwin.

Michael's brow furrowed, a letter in his hand, which he scanned with a falcon-like gaze and read it carefully. The contents of the letter made him bittersweet, happy that his sister and nephew finally had news, and worried that the messenger was an anonymous pirate. There were two pieces of letter paper in the envelope, one was my sister's handwriting, and it was absolutely correct from the handwriting. The other is a ransom letter written by a pirate, the handwriting as sharp as a sword's edge.

So-and-so said, so-and-so pirate commander respectfully.

Alyssa mother and son are in our hands, if you want to redeem them both, please take the real gold skull coins and the mermaid key, and drive only an ordinary boat to the Dead Chess Islands before the twentieth day of the foggy moon, where we will exchange what we need. I hope we have a great deal, and I will punish you insanely for anything that breaks the rules of trading.

Mr. Kelly and Mr. Hahn (Kelly is Kerwin's surname).

Underneath the text, there is a map outlining the archipelago, and inside the archipelago, a black cross is drawn, which is apparently the meeting place.

Michael's burning gaze seemed to pierce the letter, and he pondered for a moment, the pirate's extortion letter was very brief, proving that the writer was a neat man, and it did not mention who the pirate had done, so he could not find out the details of the other party. The pirates are a group of murderous thugs, and my sister and nephew are in a very dangerous situation at the hands of the pirates. The pirates are asking for two treasures, both of which are precious, but of strange use, and the pirates may have had a deeper purpose. The pirates didn't ask for gold coins, it seems that they are not short of money, since there is no shortage of money, it proves that these guys are not small, and they should be a large pirate group.

Kerwin resisted not coming over, put his hands to his sides uneasily, and whispered to Michael to read the letter quickly.

Michael closed the letter, and without rushing to hand it to Kirwin, he asked, "Do you have a gold skull coin and a mermaid key?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?" Kerrwyn blurted out.

"How many people know about your possession of these two treasures?"

"Only a few people know, like a few of my friends."

"Does my sister know?"

"Of course I do."

Michael nodded, and then handed the letter in his hand. "Look at it. The pirates extorted these two treasures from you, and only then will my sister and my nephew be freed. ”

"What!" It was only then that Kerrwyn came to his senses, and it was no wonder that Michael asked himself if he knew these two treasures, "Damn pirates, they covet my treasures." Ah, I see, it must be Alyssa's ......," he caught a glimpse of Michael's unkind look and swallowed the swear words back, "she must have leaked my treasure to the pirates." ”

"Alright, shut up. These two pieces of metal are worthless compared to the lives of my sister and nephew, so let's study how to deal with pirates first. It seems that the soothsayers are right, my sister, they should still be alive, and we have to find a way to get their mother and son out completely. You know a lot about what pirates are, they will do anything to get what they want, and my sister and little Jim are very dangerous. "Michael is leading the way and trying to draw his brother-in-law's attention to something more important.

"Okay. How do you say to do it? Kerwin said angrily, apparently still resentful of the imminent departure of the treasure.

"We have to move fast, we have to race against the clock, and we have to do a lot of things at the same time. The messenger must be kept under control and interrogated strictly, but I guess the messenger must have been hired by the pirates, and may not have anything to do with the pirates. Try to get the messenger to describe what the pirate looks like. ”

"The messenger is a child." Kerrwin chimed in.

"That confirms my statement even more, they found a random child to deliver the letter." Michael's head burned like a magic furnace, and he pondered all kinds of questions, "You go and order the whole city to be cordoned off, including the post roads and docks, and have the guards search everywhere, especially along the road to the castle, looking for clues, and if you come across someone who looks like a pirate, don't let go." I also sent someone to check the records of the ships coming and going in the nearest dock, and it is likely that the pirates have docked in their own boats. ”

"Yes, it's all important." Kirwin glanced at the letter again, and became a little more nervous, "There is another problem, the pirates have set us a tight deadline. Even if it is a clipper, it must set sail immediately, otherwise it will not be possible to reach the dead chess archipelago within the specified time. Damn, he only allowed us to go in a normal boat. ”

"There's no way I'm going to do what he says. If you really drive an ordinary clipper boat to a place like the Dead Chess Islands, what is the difference between sending you to death? Michael's eyes narrowed, "I'll go out in my strongest magic ship and surround the Dead Chess Islands with a massive fleet." If you look closely, the pirate said, 'Rush to the Dead Chess Islands before the twentieth day of the foggy month', and judging from this tone, the pirate will definitely be there to wait for the rabbit. As long as I get my sister and nephew back, the pirate's death will come! ”

"Are you talking about the magic ship ......?"

"That's right, it's the undefeated Angel of Force!"
