CH.188 The Fortune Teller
By the time Donk returned from the Bloody Magic to the Sky, it was already evening, and the low sky was covered with blood, and he looked at the blood-soaked sea, thinking that it was a pre-war omen. Compared to the future scene, there are only a few floating corpses and broken hulls on the surface of the sea at this time. A catastrophe at sea has begun.
Donk could still recall everything Christine had just said, and he thought it was a big plan.
Christine is planning a raid that will go down in history, and he wants to gather several pirate groups, form an alliance, and organize a large fleet that surpasses the Clover Merchant Alliance, and then take down all the fleets that the Clover Merchant Alliance has returned!
If this battle at sea starts, the scene at sea will be as bloody and endless as it is today.
The return of the Clover Business Alliance will turn into an unpredictable adventure. Many pirate groups have their eyes on this vast fleet and will be waiting for an opportunity to move along the way. However, this group of shrewd merchants will not be slaughtered, the merchants will use their brains and do everything possible to avoid encountering pirates, even if they are attacked by pirates, they will not stand still, they will also take up arms and fight to the death. Moreover, the merchants were not alone, and the vast majority of this long-distance fleet were ships of the Greenland Empire, so the Greenland Empire would not sit idly by.
This dispute of interests at sea involves the three forces of merchants, pirates and navy, and the outcome is unpredictable. It can be said that this is a treacherous trip to troubled waters, but despite this, Donk has also decided to put his foot in this troubled water! As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. Pirates are the most daring adventurers at sea.
Donk signed himself up, and once Christine got in touch with someone strong enough, he would join in the raid. The Ghost Pirate Group itself has more than seventy ships, and it is not far from the goal, just two or three more pirate groups need to be recruited. He decided to join for two reasons, one was that it would make a profit for the pirate group, and the profit from robbing such a fleet would be unprecedented; Second, he plans to save Elizabeth, but he won't choose a heroic way to save people, so he decides to snatch Elizabeth's ship! According to his thinking, it was better for him to do it himself, rather than cheapen other pirates. He found that he was thinking about Elizabeth in his heart, and since this was the case, he simply grabbed it by his side to be his wife.
Because of the impact of this incident, Donk's own plan for the next step was also determined, and he decided to divide his troops into two groups, one group stayed in the small pirate city to wait for the Black Pearl to be built, and the other group went to Dragon's Nest Island with wood and supplies, and built a base there.
According to the calculation of time, if all goes well, after Tang Ke installed the heart of the magic ship on the Black Pearl, he will be able to participate in the operation of the Clover Merchant Alliance, and the time is very tight.
Due to the agreement, Tang Ke and several people around him wanted to keep this plan secret, and after they went back, they didn't make a big deal about it, but a few ringleaders got together to discuss it. The group of them was originally going to seek money for the pirate group, and this big deal was so tempting, most of them raised their hands in favor of participating, but they all expressed their unease about Christine as a person. If possible, Donk really wanted to go it alone, but unfortunately the Clover Merchant Alliance's fleet was too large, and he didn't have such a big appetite.
The dragon pirate group came to the pirate city for the second time, passing through a psychedelic purple sea oak forest, the half-elf women in the trees were enthusiastic, and some of the pirates even met the last good friend, and the fleet docked at the dock, and everything went well.
Iona took care of everything, signed the documents at the docks, and arranged accommodation for everyone, and everything went in order.
Got rid of the trivialities and took charge of the search for the linguists himself, sending many people in the harbor to find people who knew the demon language. But a few days passed, and none of the linguists who were found were either swollen or half-witted, and none of them could understand the demonic language. Tang Ke was a little depressed about this, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being, and made time to inspect the construction progress of the Black Pearl, and chatted with the ear who was still studying for a long time.
During this time, the Purgatory returned to the Little Pirate City, and One-Eye's operation went well, exchanging the hostages for a full 30,000 gold coins, and everyone celebrated happily.
As the days passed, Donk still couldn't find the linguist, and that day someone came to the hotel to bring news that the local admiral Kilo had summoned Donk. During that time, Kilo had tapped Donk a few times, and Donk remembered this kindness, and as soon as he heard the news, he immediately got up and went to the Hao Slash Kendo Gym.
It's the same as the last time Tang Ke came, there was a group of swordsmen sweating and practicing in the front yard, and the weapons in their hands collided together, making a crisp and sharp sound. These people are a bit arrogant, they only care about cultivation, and they ignore all the comers.
Led by the attendant, Donk did not enter the hall, but came to the backyard, where Kilo was cultivating alone.
Instead of struggling to keep his strength open, Kilo sat upright on a large rock, holding a wide and large scimitar, and the blade rushed up, looking unremarkable. Kilo had his back to Donk, his large bald head smooth as a mirror, with a clear Goldenbeard Pirate Regimental pattern printed on it. His muscles were sharp and angular, like hard stones.
Donk knew that Kilo wouldn't make a meaningless move, so he took a closer look, and then he saw through the doorway, and it turned out that there was a drop of water pausing on the blade of the scimitar! Kilo's blade was sharp enough to blow out his hair, but a soft drop of water could rest on it, and the skill required for this was conceivable.
"Donk, swordsmen need to keep a calm mind in the wind and waves, don't look at my hot temper, but in battle, no matter what kind of enemy I face, I can ensure that my heart is as calm as water." Kilo slowly moved the scimitar and let the blade fall, and the water beads trembled twice, like walking a tightrope, sliding off the blade and dripping onto a small grass.
"Thank you for the advice." Tang Ke smiled, he understood that what Kilo said was golden and jade, in the middle of the battle, the mood can be angry, but not chaotic, otherwise the sword qi will also be disordered.
Kiro laughed twice, the sound startled the birds in the house, and he turned around, and although he was sitting, his gaze was level with that of the standing Donk, because he was too tall.
"Let's have a good drink for the two of us in a while, and you can tell me about this trip."
"I'm happy to accompany you."
In this way, the two sat down in the backyard one by one, drank a few bottles of wine, and chatted.
Kilo threw away the empty bottle, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with the back of his rough hand, and asked, "Donk, I heard you're looking for someone who can read the demon's language?" ”
Tang Ke's heart moved, Kilo's identity is prominent, and he can be regarded as a small overlord of one side, and there should be many ways. He said eagerly, "Yes, I've almost searched through the whole little pirate city, just to find such a person." ”
"Did you kid get some demon-related treasures? Otherwise, I wouldn't be looking for someone who understands the demonic language. Kilo said bluntly.
"You're right, I have a treasure chest belonging to a demon in my hand, and there are some words on it that need to be deciphered." Donk is not shy about it, the other party is trustworthy, and with Kilo's power, he doesn't bother to make a move on the treasures of his juniors.
Kilo glanced at Donk with appreciative eyes, and then reminded him: "Boy, demonic things are ominous, they are the race that brought disaster to this world, and most of the things they left behind are dangerous items. Although the treasure chest indicates that it is a treasure inside, how can you be sure that this is not a hoax set up by the devil? Don't let the demons of a thousand years ago, boy, stumble over you. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll be very careful about opening this treasure chest."
"For the sake of your trust in me, I'll help you this time and contact the only person in Little Pirate City who understands the demonic language."
As soon as Tang Ke heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still a little and asked, "Who is he?" ”
"It's not him, it's her. She's a soothsayer, a somewhat mysterious woman. She knows many, many things we don't know, including the future and the past. She can communicate with all things and listen to the voices of the world. Kilo paused and said in a heavy tone, "Her name is Ivy." ”
Donk had already met a lot of capable people, and although he didn't react much when he heard Kilo talk about Ivy in a godly way, he just asked step by step, "When will you introduce this soothsayer to me?" ”
"Don't worry." Kilo waved his hand, "Although she is in this port, her whereabouts are uncertain, and I can't find her immediately." I'll scout around for you, and if I find her, I'll match you two. And, if she gets the news that I'm looking for her, she might come out on her own. ”
"Then there's Admiral Law."
"There's nothing to work for, I just look at you pleasing to the eye, if you don't like it one day, see if I don't cut you with a knife." Kilo put on a fierce expression that was enough to scare the crying child, and the muscles on his face were about to twist.
Tang Ke smiled, unimpressed, returned to what he had just said, and asked, "This soothsayer you said is a bit interesting, who is she?" ”
"I don't know much about her." Kilo restrained his frightened expression and recalled, "Two years ago, she suddenly found me and said something strange, she said that I would have a lot of luck in the past two years and wanted to stay with me. I agreed without much thought, and it wasn't a big deal anyway. She promised me that she would help me through bad luck when I was about to die. After that, she stayed. I didn't take it seriously at first, and even thought of her as a liar or a crazy woman. But slowly, I realized that she was a very different person. ”
"Different?"
"She knows a lot of things, and even knows some ancient secrets, but she doesn't know if what she said is true or not. She calls herself a soothsayer, but she almost never divination, and every time she guides the fate of others, she will take the initiative to find them and give them inspiration. Anyone who follows her instructions will have two extreme outcomes, either the luckiest thing will happen to them, or they will meet the misfortune directly. In two simple examples, she guided two ships, one of which brought back a treasure full of treasure and the other that ran aground and sank on the way. She always likes to play the trick of disappearance, haunting various places in the Little Pirate City, and many times she takes the initiative to find others, but it is difficult for others to find her. ”
After listening to this story, Don Ke was thoughtful, and he became interested in this soothsayer.
"I hope this strange soothsayer can give me an answer."
