"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness, and unforgettable." Donk didn't dare to trespass at all, and said respectfully.

The golden beard waved his hand and poked mercilessly: "What toothless and unforgettable is, in order to fulfill my agreement, I played you around, and the person who almost killed you before, you don't know how much you will hate me in your heart." If you could, you would have stabbed me to death with a sword. ”

Tang Ke hurriedly said: "Don't dare to go down!" ”

Goldbeard interrupted, "Even if you dare, what can you do?" Okay, hear me out first. You're right to say that and you're right to do that, no matter how much you hate me, pretend to be a little mouse. The rule of survival for young people is to talk less and think more. When you are weak, it doesn't matter how groveling you are, a real strong person is to be able to bend and stretch. Those who lose their minds on impulse, and then lose their lives, are not strong, but reckless. Being able to survive in a difficult environment, and continue to grow, and eventually become a shame, is what the strong do! You kid, there is a little shadow of a strong man, otherwise, I wouldn't bother to tell you this. ”

Talking less and thinking more is indeed a good word for young people. If you talk too much, you will lose too much, and if you think less, you will not move forward.

Donk chewed on Goldbeard's definition of a strong man, and his heart fluctuated, like the rolling sea.

"There's too much gossip, now let's get down to business. I promised to give you some reward as long as you helped me fulfill this agreement. Goldbeard finally got to the point.

Donk's heart was beating wildly, he couldn't sleep last night because he was thinking about this reward, and now he was finally getting it. He saw that the golden beard was quick to speak, so he dispensed with the annoying prevarication, and said bluntly: "I don't know what the Governor wants to give me? ”

"Have you heard of Turtle Back Island?" Goldbeard asked lightly.

Turtle Back Island!

Donk's eyes lit up, that's a great thing!

As the name suggests, Turtle Back Island is an island carried by a giant turtle, the island area is about 5 square miles, don't look at the area, but there is no shortage of all kinds of organs, high mountains and rivers, houses and farmland. There are 10,000 acres of fertile land, enclosures and fruit trees on the island, which is enough to feed and drink tens of thousands of people. There is also a "non-dry spring" on the island, which bubbles out all year round, so the most important source of water is not a problem.

The giant tortoise carrying the island is extremely old, and it is said that it lived for a thousand years, and another theory is that it lived for tens of thousands of years, but there is no way to verify it. Turtle Back Island was created by strong men in ancient times, who first tamed the giant tortoise with strong strength, then spread the land on it, and transplanted the "Immortal Spring", which was gradually perfected. Turtle Island has changed hands several times, worked for several masters, and is now owned by the Goldbeard Pirates.

The beauty of Turtle Back Island is that it is a small island that can be moved, and although the giant tortoise is slow, it can be very useful if it is used properly. For example, let Turtle Back Island hold on to a certain shipping route, play a commercial role or strategic significance! Some routes are too long and there are no supplies along the coast, making it difficult to navigate. If Gubei Island is located in that kind of place, it will be able to attract ships to shore all year round and make a lot of money. In some remote supply ports, prices can be set very high. For example, if you place a bottle of wine for ten gold coins, a passing seafarer will have to buy it if he is hungry for it, knowing that he has been blackmailed!

Stripping away the commercial value, the combat capabilities of Turtle Back Island are also very impressive. After so many years of construction, many artillery batteries have been erected along the coast of the island, and the defense capability is very strong. And the giant tortoise itself is also the overlord of the sea, shaking its head and tail, can set off huge waves, open its big mouth, and can tear up warships!

If Goldbeard's reward is Turtle Back Island, it is really developed!

Tang Ke swallowed, nodded dryly, "I know." ”

"I've given the order to get to the vicinity of Little Pirate City, and you can take it over when the time comes." Goldbeard said lightly. In Donk's eyes, Turtle Back Island is a great gift, but in his eyes, Turtle Back Island is dispensable.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your generous gift!" Donk thanked him very happily.

"Don't rush to say thank you, it's not over yet."

Tang Ke's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What! What other rewards? ”

Goldbeard snorted and said, "You dislike the reward too much? ”

"Not much! Not much! Tang Ke waved his hand again and again, how can anyone dislike treasures and bite their hands?

Goldbeard was in the mood to joke with his juniors, and immediately took out something from his arms, he was as tall as a mountain, and that thing was like a small toy in his hand, but in front of Tang Ke, it was not small.

It is a scroll with a simple and elegant appearance, all black, with a leather texture, and there is no text on it, but an ancient pattern is drawn, which is the image of a man holding a lightning bolt. Although the scroll looks ordinary, what comes out of Goldbeard's hand is naturally extraordinary, and the scroll is very reminiscent of a magician!

Tang Ke was itchy to see, but he knew that Goldbeard would definitely give an explanation, so he didn't rush to use the investigative technique.

"This scroll is ready to use when unfolded, and it can imitate the thunder and lightning magic of a seventh-order magician, and it is so powerful that it is enough to collapse and crack the ground. This scroll is not used according to the number of times, but according to the magic reserve inside. As far as I can estimate, it will last about ten minutes. In these ten minutes, the wielder can be thundered and lightning, mimicking the thunder and lightning ability of a seventh-order magician. Of course, you can also use it in several sessions for a minute or two each time. For a seventh-order magician, killing people only takes a minute or two. Goldbeard really spoke eloquently.

It's a treasure again!

Tang Ke had seen the strength of a seventh-order powerhouse, not to mention that he was still a seventh-order magician, with this scroll, he could help him kill several powerhouses! This scroll, whether used to kill or protect himself, is an excellent treasure and will be of great use to him. Zela's shadow flashed in his mind, the fish-man's icy grin, and the black-scented staff, like a nightmare scene. He has Zela's curse on him, and his next goal is to kill Zela, and with this scroll, he is enough to do this, blasting Zela to ashes with thunder and lightning!

"Alright, you've got the reward, go down." Goldbeard waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

Tang Ke was extremely satisfied with this reward, but he couldn't turn around and leave, his face sank, and he said respectfully: "There is one more thing to ask for in the future." You have repeatedly told me not to spare any strength in this duel. I did as you said, opportunistically and won by chance. Although you have extraordinary strength and do not care about it, your subordinates have complained about it and are very dissatisfied with me......"

"These stupid boys don't understand what this duel means to me." Goldbeard frowned, "Did anyone of my men threaten you?" ”

Donk can't say anything about Hogan, after all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Hogan is Goldbeard's right-hand man, and if he says it, Goldbeard will not do anything to Hogan, but will cause himself a lot of trouble. He could only shake his head and say, "No, but some people's eyes are really scary, and I can't afford to provoke those sixth, seventh, and eighth order powerhouses." ”

"I can't let them do anything bad, if my men go to settle accounts after the autumn, there will be no place for my face! Duel is all about fairness, and losing is losing. The trouble of going to the winner when you lose is what the rats do. Well, I'll go down and warn my men. I can assure you that my people won't go to your trouble. "Goldbeard has taken care of it and smoothed it out.

Tang Ke is not very relieved about this kind of verbal promise, but if he continues to dwell on this matter, Goldbeard will definitely be unhappy, and he himself will look small and tired.

"Thank you again for your kindness, Your Excellency! You can continue to see the scenery here. I took my leave. Donk took the scroll, tucked it into his arms, bowed goodbye, and slowly stepped back.

"Wait." Goldbeard remembered something, and suddenly stopped Donk, "I have one more thing to remind you, from now on, I will no longer be your umbrella, and whether you live or die at sea has nothing to do with me." Also, you don't need to use my pirate flag anymore. Otherwise, I will settle accounts with you for the crime of impostor! ”

Donk suddenly remembered this, he hadn't paid much attention to it before, but when he thought about it, he had been spared many times because of the protection of the Golden Beard. If it weren't for the ordinary pirate flag, he would have been killed by Michael or Zela. Now that Goldbeard threatens to withdraw this protection, he suddenly has the feeling that a crab has been peeled, he has lost his sturdy armor, and his whole body is full of weaknesses and flaws!

"Young eagles are under the wings of eagles and can never learn to fly. It's not a good thing that you're under my protection. With the current strength of your pirate group, you should also feel the cruelty of the sea! Goldbeard looked into the distance and said leisurely.

The cruelty of the sea!

Tang Ke knew that this matter was irreparable, so Suo surnamed faced it calmly and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the Governor, I have also fought many tough battles and passed the test of life and death several times. I have seen the cruelty of the sea. ”

"Without my protection, the navy and bounty hunters will soon find you, and that's when you know what cruelty is. Death will be with you, you will encounter countless enemies, and you will face daily trials and bloody battles with your enemies. Only under the tempering of blood can you polish a strong heart, and after going through this, you can really grow up and become an iron-clad pirate leader! The tsunami is coming, so take care of yourself. Goldbeard said meaningfully, and without waiting for Donk to answer, he had already waved his hand, signaling that Donk could step back.

Donk regained his steps and slowly exited the empty hall. He was now a mixed bag, and he was naturally happy to have received such a rich reward, but listening to Goldenbeard's alarmist words also made him worried. The tsunami is coming, and sooner or later there will be a great battle between the Imperial Navy and the pirates.

However, there is pressure to be motivated!

In the future, he will spend all his energy on strengthening the pirate group, not to reverse this tsunami, but at least to survive this catastrophe!
