Tang Ke woke up at noon the next day, and the scorching light came in from the Tianzi window, and he squinted his eyes, and rubbed his brow a few times with the discomfort of a hangover.

Before Donk could wash his face, there was a knock on the door. Pushing open the door, One-Eye walked in.

"Big celebrity, how do you feel?" One-Eye asked casually as he came in, and he sat casually in his chair.

Tonk stretched and sat down on the windowsill, blocking the glare with his back.

"It feels good, the celebrity effect is really pros and cons, like a double-edged sword, but it feels very exciting." Tang Ke looked up at the delicate ceiling, his gaze changed from sloppy to condensed, "This is still a port, if I turn to all directions, I don't know how the pirate group will grow?" ”

"I'm here to tell you about this, and although we have a good appeal this time, more than half of the people we have recruited are newcomers who have never been on the boat, and many of them don't even know how to swim. I mean, before we go out to sea, train these guys. ”

"Military training? Good! Donk immediately made the final decision, "This matter is left to you and Wendy, you are mainly responsible for training the combat side of things, and let Wendy teach them to sail the ship." In addition, not only the new pirates, but also the old pirates have trained well, sweating more and fighting less blood! ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." One-eyed nodded, and left the house.

Alone in the house, Donk remembered the terrible battle not long ago, and instead of being satisfied with the current strength of the pirates, he should lash out at the pirates to continue to grow stronger so that they could survive the battle.

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

…… Today's sunlight is exceptionally brilliant, and when a beam of sunlight casts, the halo is colorful. The sun scorched the beach on the coast, and you will feel hot when you step on it.

There was a group of barefoot people standing on the shore, most of them young, some of whom had not yet shaved. After resting on the shore, they jumped into the turquoise sea and learned to swim.

Women in this era were not very open-minded, so the swimsuit had not yet been invented.

Wendy can only play freely in the sea in a white gauze coat, and instruct the landlubbers on how to breathe in the water.

"Boys, you have to inhale heavily on the surface of the sea, and you have to exhale slowly in the sea, because if you reverse this order, you will choke on the water."

Wendy was soaking wet, the white veil clinging to her skin, outlining her proud figure. Her blue hair fluttered in the water, and her legs swung in a beautiful picture.

The new pirates are happy to be mentored by this swimming instructor and feast their eyes on the learning process.

Wendy still covers her face and promises the new pirates that if they can learn to swim in a day, they will take off their masks and show their true faces.

The new pirates don't know about Wendy's disfigurement, and they are enthusiastic about this promise, unaware that they have fallen into Wendy's trap.

Donk stood on the beach and watched from a distance for a moment.

These days, all kinds of training of the pirate group are going on in an orderly manner, and only Tang Ke, the head of the group, is relatively leisurely.

He then went to inspect the progress of the repairs, the Tornado's wheel slurry had been installed, the projectiles on the Purgatory's deck had been erected, the damage to the Sky had been repaired, the wings had been replaced with new canvas, and the work was coming to an end.

It's not far from the pirate group's voyage.

Donk was satisfied, and went to the boat to talk to One Ear and Luban for a while, all about repairing ships. Frankie sprang out of the shadows midway through, complaining that one ear was not at a good level and could not give the Sky more firepower.

One Ear immediately came forward to explain that the overall firepower and structure of the Cangtian were very good, and the indiscriminate transformation would reduce the strength of the Cangtian, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Frankie had nothing to say and disappeared from everyone's sight with hatred.

Before leaving, Donk paid Luban a repair fee, and then went to see the one-eyed teaching shooting.

One-Eye led everyone to practice in the woods, and divided into two groups, one group practiced shooting, and the other group practiced white-knuckle combat.

They drew red dots on the trees and shot at a distance of thirty to a hundred yards, because the flintlock pistol was not good, and it was not easy to achieve a hundred shots in a short range.

When everyone saw the regimental commander coming, they stopped one after another, and put down their muskets and blades.

Donk waved his hand and motioned for everyone to continue, and the gang returned to training. Tang Ke saw that the level of white-knuckle combat of these people was very poor, so he personally went into battle and became a teacher, correcting the mistakes of the sailors and guiding the sailors how to attack faster and more ferociously.

The sword used in the training of sailors is called "consumed sword", which is made of wood, is of poor quality, and is inexpensive. If you use a good sword for training, it is easy to curl the edge and be damaged, which is too wasteful.

"Ding! Your sailor, Owen, worked hard to become a qualified swordsman. ”

Donk's face was happy, he had a little impression of this man called Owen, a pirate who had fought two tough battles with him, and he had been in the regiment for a long time. While playing with the wooden sword in his hand, he fell into thought, although the strength of the sailors recruited by the system is limited, but these sailors have a good foundation, if they can all be promoted in battle like Owen, the potential is very huge!

White-bladed sailors are promoted to swordsmen, archer sailors are promoted to archers, and medical sailors are promoted to doctors!

These sailors are highly loyal, and they don't have to worry about becoming white-eyed wolves after training. They advance to various talents, and not only will the strength of the pirate group increase, but they will not need to spend a lot of system bonus points.

All it takes is time and effort.

Tang Ke nodded secretly, in the future, he would have to let the pirates work harder, and maybe they would be able to form a swordsman stormtroop in the future.

"Owen, come here." Donk looked around, saw the square-faced pirate, and beckoned. Although Owen's abilities are ordinary, and he doesn't have special surnames and skills, he is still better than ordinary sailors after all.

Owen was slashing with the other sailors, and when he heard the greeting of the regimental commander, he put away his sword and strode over.

"Commander, what is the matter with me?" Owen asked in a rough voice.

"You'll be a boatswain from now on. Give your subordinates more than a dozen people, and you are responsible for leading the team to charge and kill, and fight white-knuckle battles. Tang Ke said with a smile.

Owen was overjoyed and agreed on the spot, because the little boss could get more money when he shared the spoils.

But the other sailors quit and came out one after another to question why they promoted Owen for no reason.

"The few who just said they disagreed stood up and competed with Owen one by one, and whoever can win Owen will be a boatswain." Donk didn't care, it was better for pirates to speak with strength.

Owen grimaced, brushing his sweaty hair behind his head, and waited for the men to come up.

The unconvinced jumped out one after another to challenge Owen, but Owen did not live up to Donk's promotion, defeated all the unconvinced, and had the absolute upper hand in the battle. Owen was panting with exhaustion, but his eyes sparkled with the joy of victory.

Tang Ke waved his hand and said, "Okay, so be it." If you play a wheel war like this again, Owen will have to lose even if he has enough strength. I look at people very accurately, and promoting Owen proves that he has what he can do. ”

No one objected to this time, and Owen himself was very proud.

Donk hooked his hand at One-Eye, taking One-Eye away from here and letting the sailors train on their own.

Repairs to three ships are nearing completion, and the pirate group is about to set sail. Donk's idle life is completely shattered, and one of the first tasks is in front of him, which is to find a way to open the demon's treasure chest.

Demon's Black Chest:

Grade: Epic.

Type: Treasure Chest.

Description: The black chest is carved with the emblem of Lucifer, one of the most powerful factions of the Demon Clan. The text on the chest is written in demonic language, and needs to be translated by a specialized appraiser or linguist.

Effect: None.

Application: None.

Remaining uses: None.

Before leaving, Tang Ke glanced at the introduction of the system, and like a treasure map, there was very little information that could be obtained. In the end, you have to take it for identification in person.

Donk took One-Eye and Norman out into the street, and the first stop was the Goblin Bank, where he took out the black treasure chest. The reason Donk took Norman with him was that the goblin was good at bargaining, and Norman was also able to take on the coolies, holding the black treasure chest with all his might.

Then, they searched around for news, looking for the appraiser of the port. Donk couldn't help but think of the Tree Man, but it was too far from the port of Sassot to get there, and it would take more than three months to get there.

Donk is also a well-known man now, and is occasionally recognized, but no one dares to come up and ask a pirate this or that, and he is fine.

They went to the smoky tavern and found out the address of an old linguist, a mild-mannered elven lady. They found the address of the linguist along the road.

Norman knocked on the door, and the servant unreservedly expressed his disgust for the goblins, but when Donk paid a dazzling tip, the servant dispelled all disgust.

Tang Ke walked through a very delicate small courtyard, with colorful sleek stone slabs under his feet, and the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard were waving in the wind, bringing a refreshing fragrance to the guests, and the courtyard gate and fence were beautiful patterns intertwined with curves and straight lines, and they were also painted with tranquil black paint.

The linguist sat under the pergola, dressed in a very beautiful suit with wide balloon sleeves. She wandered in her rocking chair, occasionally sipping tea.

"Sit down, everybody. Forgive me for having a stubborn leg problem that prevents me from standing up to greet you. The linguist smiled and said that she was already over one hundred and eighty years old, which was the age of a non-purebred elf.

The elves are favored by the heavens, and the years are so gentle to her, although she does not have the most noble blood of the elves, but now she looks only in her thirties, with a few light lines at the corners of her eyes, and she looks mature and stable.

"It doesn't matter, the only people in this world who can be polite to pirates are captives." Donk said and sat down on the wooden chair.

Norman unraveled the black chest, stood on his feet, raised his body, and placed the chest on the table.

The linguist's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Pirates are always able to surprise people, let me see what you have brought." ”

Tang Ke pushed the black treasure chest over, the appearance of the black treasure chest seemed to make the afternoon air a little colder, although the treasure chest was tightly closed, but no one would think that it contained anything good.

Demonic things can only be associated with destruction and indulgence.

The elf took the treasure chest in front of her, turned it around, and saw the row of words on the back of the chest.

"Demon Language?" The elf gasped, "You've found something amazing. ”

Donk glanced at One-Eye and nodded slightly. Even Norman, who was usually talkative, chose to shut up and wait for the female elf to translate the above words.

The female elf watched word by word, some words already buried in the depths of her memory, and some words that had never been seen before.

"Truth be told, I only know a little about the Demon Language, an ancient language that has been lost for a long time. In my fragmented knowledge reserves, I can only see a few words, and when they are connected, they seem to say 'the heart of the magic ship'. ”

"The Heart of the Demon Ship?" Tang Ke was surprised.

"This is the most crucial word, and as for the others, it also says 'dark night', 'depravity and metamorphosis', and 'sacrifice of demons'. As for 'Heart of the Demon Ship', it is a meaning, a meaning made up of several overlapping words. That's all there is to it. The elf was silent, and looked at the crowd without saying a word.

Donk was lost in thought, trying to put a few words together, and a whimsical idea popped up.

"Does that mean that this stuff can turn a ship into a magic ship?" Donk spoke up, and looked at him for advice.

"It's really possible to do what you say." The elf nodded first.

"Sounds good, pretty good. Three magic ships, I just think it's crazy. The one-eyed eye was filled with joy.

Donk also felt rejoiced, and he thought of a name - the Black Pearl!

Although the ship's name was chosen only on an improvised basis, it accompanied him for more than a year.

If the so-called Heart of the Demon Ship can really turn an ordinary ship into a magic ship, he is willing to spend a lot of money to build the best ordinary ship in the world, and then pick up the name of the Black Pearl and upgrade it to a magic ship!

"Thank you, pretty lady, for the money you deserve." Donk generously paid five gold coins, the meeting was not worth the money, but he was in a good mood and generous.

The female elf did not look at the yellow gold coins on the table, but looked directly at Donk and said, "I will forget what you have been here for, and I wish you a safe return every time." ”

Donk smiled, thanked him again, retrieved his beloved black treasure chest, and left with his men.

Before the pirates went out, the elf said, "One more piece of advice, don't overthink things, demonic things are full of dangers. ”

Donk stopped, took one last look at the female elf, and noticed that the other party's expression was unusually serious.
