Episode 395 Claim the Bounty
Tang Ke was stunned for a moment, and after recovering his senses, he smiled dumbly and said, "It turns out that this is the way the lone wolf at sea greets, and it is really special." ”
"Of course, I, Kandal, am the most special man in the sea!" Kandal let out a hearty laugh and pointed to his broad chest proudly, and after he finished laughing, he scratched his head and asked at **Tu, "By the way, what's this guy's name?" ”
**Tu said helplessly: "Didn't I introduce you to you before I came over?" He is the leader of the Dragon Pirate Band, named Donk. ”
"By the way, your name is Donk!" Kandal pointed his long index finger at Donk and snorted, "You kid is so bold that you dare to contact Miss Eunice, don't you know that she is my woman?" ”
"Your woman?" Donk looked puzzled, according to rumors, Eunice was still a single older young woman, the dream girl of the majority of pirates.
"That's right! She's my woman - not now, but soon to be. Kandal said with a cheeky face, as if it were a matter of course. The ** picture in the back was ashamed of having such a thick-skinned regiment leader, and blushed.
Donk remembered what Kandal had just said, and finally understood why Kandal was here, and he laughed and said, "Did Your Excellency Kandal misunderstand something?" ”
Kandal waved his hand and said, "No misunderstanding! I saw Miss Eunice come to your boat and talk to you, and you shouted to welcome her. What exactly is the relationship between the two of you? Could it be...... Couple? ”
Tang Ke flatly denied: "Of course not, she and I are just ordinary friends." I was involved in a raid with her a little over a year ago, and I've known her ever since. ”
Worried that Kandal would continue to mess around, Tu leaned in and whispered, "There is indeed such a thing." ”
Kandal stared at Don Ke Lao for a long time, his eyes seemed to be looking at his rival, and he said angrily: "I believe your statement, but I want to remind you that Miss Eunice is mine, and no one can approach it." ”
"Then I'll keep that in mind." Donk shrugged. He's really speechless, Eunice is not only not his lover, but also an enemy! But if the truth is told, Kandal might have done it to Junice, and that would be terrible.
Kandal snapped a reminder: "It's not that you have to remember, you have to remember!" ”
Donk remained silent and didn't talk back.
Kandal glared at Donk again, and seeing that Donk was in a good attitude, he didn't get angry, and turned away with his cloak on his hand.
Before leaving, he glanced at Donk, smiled wryly, leaned closer and whispered, "He's actually a very easy person to get along with, and he is only so impulsive when dealing with things about Miss Eunice, I hope you don't mind." Although he is the head of the group, the big and small affairs in the pirate group are actually handled by me, and I recognize that you are a friend of the Freedom Blade, and I will not trouble you because of today's incident. If Kandal makes a mistake, I'll stop him too, don't worry. ”
"I'm still a bit of a backbone person, and I won't be friends with people who have threatened me." Donk snorted, not appreciative.
"One more friend, one more route, the sea is vast, don't put yourself on an island. You're angry right now, and you're talking too impulsively, but I won't take it to heart, because I've decided you're my friend. I will send a message to my brothers everywhere at sea, telling them to take care of the dragon pirates. ”
Tu smiled and waved his hand and caught up with Kandal in front.
Tang Ke stared at the back of **Tu leaving, if it weren't for **Tu's words, he would definitely hate Kandal, but after **Tu said this, he was relieved a lot. If someone else said that, Tang Ke would think that he was hiding a knife in his smile, but when he said it from the mouth of **Tu, it was very natural, making people believe that this was a heartfelt statement, which felt very strange.
The two ships of the Liberty Blade Pirates faded away, but Donk's eyes couldn't take his eyes off the two ships, and his heart was still fluctuating.
Eunice has a grudge in her heart because of the robbery of the Wave Treading Knight, and she will not give up. The Flower Language Pirate Group ranks eighth in the Sea of Dreams, and is a strong rival. Coupled with the fact that Kandal likes Eunice and is likely to help, things are really tricky.
Donk even retreated, and some wanted to hand over the Wave Treading Knight in order to eliminate the disaster. But it was too cowardly to do so, and he immediately dispelled the idea.
Even if you fight to the end with the Flower Language Pirate Group, you can't bow your head to a group of women!
Tang Ke looked up at the bright starry sky, and the strong men and heroes on the sea were like these stars, many, many, and each one was dazzling.
Michael's star has fallen, and there are other stars shining. If you want to become the Pirate King, you have to defeat all of these stars.
Donk suddenly felt that his road was still long, and it was still very difficult, and his hands had to keep fighting. He clenched his fists and whispered: "Life is endless, and the battle is endless!" ”
…… On board the Saboteur.
Kandal stiffened his face, clasped his hands in front of his chest, frowned at the Black Pearl, and said in a deep voice: "I'm a little worried about this guy named Donk, and when he enters the pirate city, send two thieves with good skills to follow him and monitor his every move." If you see him in contact with Miss Eunice, tell me that I'm going to screw his head off! ”
**Tu was stunned and said, "There's no need for this, right?" I don't think Miss Eunice will like him, or that Miss Eunice will not like any man. ”
Kandal patted the shoulder of the ** picture and said: "You guy doesn't understand women at all, iceberg beauties like Miss Eunice are actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside, they will not fall in love with others easily, but once they fall in love, they will love vigorously!" ”
**Tu Yi pursed his lips and muttered in his heart: "In terms of chasing women, you are not much better than me, your so-called 'understanding' of women is simply a 'misunderstanding'......"
Kandal said to himself, "Although Donk is not as handsome as me, Miss Eunice probably likes him like this, so she has to guard against it." He rubbed his boxy chin a few times, "It's not enough to just spy on Donk, you should send some more people to spy on Miss Eunice, but if she finds out, she'll be angry, how about that." ”
**Tu looked at Kandal with a serious look, hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised, and sighed with a wry smile: "Forget it, you guy has finally found something that can be done seriously, just let your surname come to it." At least it will make the pirate group look a little more energetic. ”
Kandal turned his head and looked his tactician up and down: "**Tu, why do you sigh all day?" That's not good, I think you should find a woman too. ”
"Looking for a woman? I don't have that time, you know how many things I have to deal with every day. ”
"I told you a long time ago, you don't have to worry about those things, just let it be."
"If it had been left to chance, the Liberty Blade Pirates would have gotten to where they are today." Tu smiled and said, "You can just mess around, and leave all those trivial things to me." I'm a person who was born to suffer from the fate of the heart. ”
…… As night fell, the pointed beak of the northern goshawk finally became clear. The last time I was here, I was led into the White Cemetery by One-Eyed Observation Star, but this time it was Tang Ke himself. The Black Pearl led the way into the vast white fog, followed by five ordinary ships.
Already having his previous experience, Donk was familiar with the road this time, and went straight to the guide and obtained the nautical chart.
Following the guidance of the nautical chart, the fleet rushed out of the White Cemetery, reached the Sea of Thorns, and finally landed smoothly.
Donk went ashore with some important crew members and a small number of sailors, and ordered the rest of the men to stand by with the monsters on board. As for Paul and the Octopus tribe, they didn't follow, they stayed in the sea south of the pirate city, waited for Donk to finish his business, and rushed to Dragon's Lair Island together.
The next day, they began to go their separate ways, one group led by Dadarian to find out the news, and the other group led by Donk went to the main city of the island to collect the bounty and the skull gold coin raffle.
There is a large complex of buildings on the island, and the main city is located in the middle, towering and pitch black. The castle is about 1,000 yards tall and is made entirely of black stones, with a tower-like top and a boxy bottom.
Centuries old, the castle stands as if it were a reminder of the history of piracy.
It is said that this huge castle is actually a moving stone man, and in the event of an attack, the castle can stand up and fight back with great force.
Donk went up close and used the investigative technique to confirm the rumors. This black castle is indeed made of magic, with wisdom and a long life, just like a stone giant. Donk was amazed at this and wanted to have one.
He entered the castle with respect for the pirate city and the expectation of a large bounty, and explained his intentions to the guards. Guided by the guards, he and several of his men walked through the hall and cloisters, ascending the stone staircase to a house on the second floor. This room is dedicated to receiving guests and running errands.
Inside the room sat a gray-skinned goblin wearing gold earrings on his large ears. According to the investigation, he is a multi-professional, although he is not a combat profession, but he is proficient in finance, personnel, negotiation, etc.
As soon as Norman saw his kindred, he immediately came to his senses, and went up to talk a few words, so that the two sides became acquainted with each other a little, but the topics they talked about were a little off-topic.
Donk placed a cloth bag on the table and sat down across from the gray goblin.
"Dongfang Long Tangke, I've heard a lot of rumors about you." The gray goblin's gaze circled over the cloth bag, "That's Michael's head, right?" This head is worth 150,000 gold coins, which is really enough. ”
"This money was bought with blood, and I don't think 150,000 gold coins are much." Tang Ke said lightly.
"It's good to never be content." The gray goblin jumped on the table, grabbed the cloth bag, took out the dagger and cut the rope, opened it and looked at it, then grabbed the cloth bag and jumped off the table, "I'll go find someone to verify it, if it's really Michael's head, I'll give you a bounty right away." ”
Although Michael's head is already a little out of shape, the soothsayer can use divination to determine who the real body of some of the stumps is. In addition, the news of Donk's killing of Michael has reached here, and even without this head, he should be able to receive the bounty.
After about twenty minutes, the gray goblin returned, whistled, and handed a deposit slip to Donk.
Donk glanced at the deposit slip, which had an ugly goblin smile on it, and a string of zeros, he kissed the deposit slip, said thank you, and got up to leave.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to tell you." The gray goblin hurriedly shouted.
Donk stood still, waiting for the next step.
The gray goblin smiled mysteriously: "After I reported the news just now, the pirate city lord found out, and his old man said that he wanted to meet you. ”
Tang Ke was stunned and said, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
"Is this a joke?" The gray goblin spread his hand and explained, "It's not surprising that the city lord wants to see you, after all, you have been in the limelight for the past two years. ”
Donk's face became solemn, the power of the pirate city is very strong, enough to compete with the Goldenbeard Pirates. Moreover, the pirate city also has a great symbolic meaning for pirates, and has a strong appeal, as long as the pirate city is attacked, pirates from all sides will rush to help.
The major empires have been somewhat discouraged in recent years because of the failure of many attacks on pirate cities, and they no longer plan to conquer pirate cities.
To be able to control the pirate city, the city lord here is of course a great character, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the pirate city lord stomps his foot, the whole sea will tremble!
Donk nodded nervously and said, "Okay, I'll go see him now." ”
The gray goblin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry, the city lord is still busy with other things now, and he doesn't have time to see you." When he has time in two days, he will naturally summon you, and you must not leave the pirate city, so as not to upset the city lord. ”
Tang Ke was deflated when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the so-called meeting would be delayed for several days. But in this way, he was much more relaxed, and asked, "Do you know why the head of the regiment summoned me?" ”
"He didn't mention this in detail, and I can't guess." The gray goblin shook his head.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be staying at the 'Gentle Harbor' inn all these days, and if the lord of the city calls me, you can send someone there to find me." ”
Donk left the main city after speaking, guessing along the way why the city lord called him to talk, but he didn't guess why. As he walked, his group arrived at the next stop, which was the Skull Gold Coin Lottery.
