"Are these guys poor? Just scavenged such a thing? Carter said in a broken thought, although the shelling battle was very cool, and the battle was solved in less than 1 hour, but the consumption was also amazing, and he originally wanted to get some treasures from the other party to make up for it, but he didn't expect that the sailors on the Sea Serpent were not rich, and all of them added up to less than 1W francs, and they had to subtract the loss when selling them.

"The real value is still on our ship! Ninety percent of the wealth of a pirate king's fleet is concentrated in the captain alone, but such a huge wealth is impossible to carry with him, this is the advantage of having a privateer license, it is impossible for pirates to put the excess wealth back into the city to invest, they can only squander it in the illegal and chaotic place, or find an inconspicuous place to bury it, and then secretly dig it out for retirement after time forgets his existence. Chen Ye said, replacing the "serpentine rudder plate" with the buckle of the mechanical rudder of the Thunderlight, only to see that it seemed to have life, with a burst of distortion of the serpentine pattern, it was actually tightly buckled in, just like a part when it was shipped with the Thunderlight.

Chen Ye didn't expect to receive a hidden mission so unexpectedly, but this hidden mission is very difficult for ordinary reincarnators to complete, according to the current situation, there are only six of the nine pirate kings, needless to say, they each keep a token, if you want to get this token, you have to defeat them head-on, as for the remaining three I am afraid that they have been lost, so I have to explore around with a strong adventurous spirit, but Chen Ye happened to know two of them, Catlin mentioned, His father, Howard, arrived at the "Sunset Island" in search of the treasure of another late pirate king, and as for the remaining one, Chen Ye guessed that maybe Zhou Dong got it, otherwise what would he do in a hurry to attend the Pirate King's party?

If you want to get the honor of the pirate king, you must have a corresponding token, which is the "rule" recognized by everyone after the "Pirate Code", thinking of this, Chen Ye put the "serpentine rudder plate" into the Sumeru space, and took over this task, Jörmungad is the enemy he will have to face sooner or later, "Sunset Island" After solving the Kraken, he must go to a trip, which is equivalent to obtaining the second token, as for the third token, if you are lucky, maybe you can get it in the "Sunset Island", and then use the "wish card." "Let Zhou Dong give it to himself, of course, the "Wish Card" has other important uses for him, and he still snatches it from other pirate kings as a last resort, anyway, looking at Wakeman's strength, it is not difficult to deal with one of them alone.

"First mate, Wakeman is awake!" Luke walked into the wheelhouse and reported.

Chen Ye clapped his hands and said: "Okay, don't dwell on these trivial belongings, you see if they want to, if you want to transfer a few pieces per person, it can be regarded as a reward for this battle, and it will save us from having to run to the black market for a few thousand Feilang, I have to ask the big boss how much his head is worth." ”

Chen Ye came to the sailor's room, the ship doctor of the Sea Serpent had been taken away, there were only 2 sailors guarding Wakman in the room and Wakman himself who was lying on the bed humming, Chen Ye waved his hand, let the two sailors withdraw, stepped forward and stepped on Wakman on the chest, without saying a word, he just gave him two punches, this guy's sneak attack tactics of blocking the door are really hateful, he almost fell on the road, and he was a little embarrassed if he didn't beat him first.

"Stop fighting! Stop it...... Everyone is a pirate, and according to the rules, I can pay for my own life! Tell me, how much do you want...... How about 10W Ferrang? Wakman almost didn't catch his breath, his strength can be regarded as a silver quality character, but the dominant attribute is not physique, plus he is now seriously injured, and he was beaten by Chen Ye's 15 points of real strength, which is really a little unbearable.

Chen Ye rubbed his fists and said, "Wakeman? I heard that your head is very valuable, and you think that you can redeem your life for this price? It seems that you are still not sincere! He landed two more punches in Wakeman's stomach, causing the pirate king to almost vomit bitter gall.

Wackman knew that he had encountered a ruthless character, and he couldn't get past it by sneaking and playing tricks and scoundrels, so he gritted his teeth and said, "100W!" 100W Ferrang buys my life, I can take you to pick up ...... in person"

"Oh? Are you buried on which island? Actually made up a whole? Something must be lying to me! I changed my attention, it is better to cut off your head, and it is better to go to various countries to receive the reward, you must know that our captain Zhou Dong, but he has the status of a baron of the British Empire, and he can receive the bounty openly. Chen Ye grinned, reached out and slapped Wakman again, knocking out one of his front teeth.

Wakeman opened his leaky teeth and spat on the blood before saying, "I didn't lie to you, in the church of Saint-Malo...... That priest was a black marketeer I rescued a few years ago, I entrusted him with the custody of my wealth, and only last month I tapped it, it is enough for 100W, you take me to him, he will definitely give you this money. ”

"Oh? Black marketeers? It's a good excuse, Saint-Malo is a famous pirate city, and the Pirate King party is still being held! Do you want me to die myself? Chen Ye grabbed his collar and asked.

Wakman sneered and said, "Enough, you don't have to test anymore, the greed in your eyes has already told me the answer, are Zhou Dong's subordinates so cowardly?" Your cannonballs just now are much more refreshing than your temptations. ”

Chen Ye immediately smiled, let go of Wakeman's neck, and personally wiped the blood spit from his mouth for him and said: "Your Excellency Wakman is true and generous, and he is also very wise, no one would have thought that your last wealth would be placed in the most conspicuous place, I want to negotiate with that priest, and you don't need to come forward, right?" I can promise that as soon as I get the money, I will release you immediately! ”

Wakman lowered his head and groaned, Chen Ye did not urge, washed his hands from the wooden barrel on the side, and then instructed the sailors outside to prepare some dinner, until two breads and a stack of roast meat and vegetables were sent into the room, Wakman sighed: "You won, I thought of a lot of ways, and finally I gave up, do you know why?" I don't have the confidence to fight your ship again......"

Chen Ye, who got Wakeman's handwritten letter and his code stamp, was in a good mood, and was still worried about the high interest a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be solved in a blink of an eye, of course Chen Ye would not believe that Wakeman, as one of the nine pirate kings, actually only had a wealth of 100W, and Zhou Dong obviously robbed 100 million in 3 years.

After thinking about it, he understood that Zhou Dong's strong rise relied on the deep background of the British Empire behind him, coupled with the strength of the ships and guns, the general merchant ship armament was not an opponent at all, he recruited sailors in the territory of the British Empire, just like the navy's private placement recruits, many sailors actively participated, and it didn't cost any money at all, and now he has the status of a baron, the trading houses and dockyards in the territory of the British Empire can give him very important support, the goods are resold without restraint, and as soon as the prisoners are sent to the dungeon in the city, they can send people to ask for ransom, These pirates are completely different.

A pirate like Wakeman, most of his wealth is still spent on strengthening his own power, the scale of his twenty ships, Zhou Dong may only spend a few million to build, and Wakman may cost tens of millions, and there are often losses in the face of naval roundups, these are expenses that cannot be covered, of course, Wakman cannot only leave a pension in one place, there must be other places that are more or less hidden, but this is the last reliance of the second half of his life, even if Chen Ye kills him, I am afraid that he will not spit it out, Chen Ye has tried it repeatedly, and 100W is already his bottom line.

"Go to Saint-Malo and join Zhou Dong, and make a small fortune by the way!" Chen Ye patted Carter's shoulder and said, many times he didn't remember that the other party was a woman in his bones.

With the speed of the Thunderlight, in less than ten days, Chen Ye saw the shadow of Saint-Malo, during this period, his "Entry Voyage" was upgraded by 2 levels, and now it is C-level, and the speed bonus has reached 14%, and by the way, he has completed 3 related achievement bases, entry, and proficiency three stages of rewards, according to this situation, the "Voyage" sub-skill is likely to be the first sub-skill he hit the "top" level.

Chen Ye already has 2 gold-quality "top skill scrolls", and there is no shortage of entry-level skill potions, the most lacking are proficiency-level and mastery-level skill potions, he began to prepare for this aspect, and the achievement of "Reading 100 Scrolls" that has not improved his progress for a long time, as well as the achievement of "100 Battles and 100 Victories", can obtain proficiency-level skill scrolls.

When Chen Ye was in Santes, he asked Luke to collect a large number of books, no matter what books, as long as they were written to buy them, and it cost hundreds of Fei Lang, now most of the captain's room is full, Chen Ye has been reading in the captain's room for ten days, and when he is tired of seeing, he will come out to find a few sailors with good skills to fight with his bare hands, without using skills, and without triggering the "bottom force" effect, Chen Ye actually loses more and wins less, which also makes him realize his shortcomings in close combat, as a reincarnation, Especially for the reincarnation of the lone person, compared to the unique advantages, what cannot be had is the obvious shortcoming.

If you look down from the sky, the shape of Saint-Malo is like a big spoon, the shape of the roundabout is surrounded by the sea on three sides, only one end of the spoon handle extends to the land, geographically closer to the Italian and French Empire, but in fact, the Banya Empire faces it across the sea, whenever the Italian and French Empire sends troops to recover this enclave, the Banya Empire will receive a heavy sum of money to let it attack the Italian and French Empire to contain its military strength, and the terrain of Saint-Malo is too advantageous, the pirates who are proficient in naval warfare and artillery, there are dozens of armed ships docked in Saint-Malo all year round, When the Imperial army attacked by land, it would be difficult to advance by artillery on both sides of the sea, but if it was to advance by sea, it was really no match for those slippery pirate ships, so Saint-Malo became an island of gold for pirates, and as the Italian and French Empire was suppressed by the British Empire, it was even more chaotic and powerless.

The Thunder Light did not dock at the pier in Saint-Malo, where there were too many ships, and there was an element of instability on Chen Ye's ship, so he only dropped anchor when he was close to Saint-Malo, and let Carter and several sailors go to get the ransom with a letter from Wackman, and by the way, inquire about Zhou Dong's situation.

Because the Thunder Light stopped, Chen Ye could only keep walking around the deck in order to avoid the "Kraken's gaze", these days it is really annoying to him, either the ship is moving, or he is moving, anyway, he can't stop on the ocean for 1 minute, he is not ready to start a war with it now.

Two hours later, a small boat approached the Thunderlight, and Chen Ye saw Zhou Dong standing on the boat from a distance, with two large boxes beside him, and Carter also waved to him on the boat.

"Brother Chen, long time no see! This difference is more than two years, I heard that you were shipwrecked, and those days made me cry badly, and I lost the help of my brother, and I felt like I lost an arm! Zhou Dong climbed the rope ladder and went up the Lei Guang Road, and hugged Chen Ye as soon as he could.

Chen Ye immediately sensed the powerful power in Zhou Dong's body, his heart moved slightly, and he said secretly: "I didn't expect Zhou Dong's potential to be so good, in just a few years, he has grown into a silver-quality character, no wonder he can gather such a deep fortune." ”

"Captain...... I am back! Chen Ye didn't have any extra nonsense, he didn't say a word about going to the inner world, just a brief description of the situation, Zhou Dong heard that Chen Ye was actually captured in the first naval battle, so he was full of joy and patted Chen Ye's shoulder with laughter.

"First mate, it's all counted, two boxes of gold, worth more than 100W francs." Carter leaned into his ear at this time and said a word, Chen Ye nodded, motioning for him to make arrangements.

Soon, Wakman and his ship's doctor were pushed out of the cabin with their hands tied, and Zhou Dong looked at Wakman with interest and said, "The famous Nine Pirate Kings turned out to be so unbeaten, and one of my lieutenants captured you, why are you embarrassed to prevent me from joining the Pirate Council?" It turned out to be just a bunch of idiots who were used to using lies to cover up their truth. ”

Wakman didn't do a senseless battle of words, but just asked Chen Ye: "I was defeated by this captain, but it wasn't you Zhou Dong who defeated me, Captain Chen Yulun, I am very honored, I heard your legendary story from the words of your subordinates, and I know that my failure is not shameful, after all, you are a pirate captain who has defeated even powerful demons, and even returned from the realm of gods with such a broken ship, I truly admire you." ”

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, this guy is really insidious, saying this in front of Zhou Dong, it is already Chi Guoguo's sowing discord, Zhou Dong's face also showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he quickly covered it up, Chen Ye sighed, if he has been following him for two years, Zhou Dong's ambitions can still be controlled, and their relationship will not break down easily, but more than two years have changed a lot, fortunately, Zhou Dong's line has already planned to close the net, and several important purposes have been achieved.

"Your admiration is not worth much to me, and I warn you again, I am just the first mate of Captain Zhou Dong...... Let's go, do you want me to give you a piece? Chen Ye said with a swerving face, anyone who is calculated in person will not have a good face.

Wakman smiled slightly, and was not annoyed, although he did not have much contact with Chen Ye, but he knew that this captain was a very principled person, and a pirate actually talked about principles, which was really a little ridiculous, but when Chen Ye's murderous aura gradually dispersed, he couldn't laugh a little, you must know that Chen Ye's "killing" achievement task "Ten Thousand Slaughter" has made more than 8,000 progress, and when he deliberately aimed at releasing malice, the feeling of bloody pavement was chilling.

Wakman was murderous when he asked himself, but at this time he couldn't even open his teeth that showed the wind, he no longer hesitated, and got off the boat with the boat doctor, and then the two paddled away.

Zhou Dong's face was much better, and he had a greeting with Chen Ye again, Chen Ye did not hesitate to directly present the two boxes of gold, anyway, he accumulated these wealth only to complete the task of "continuous branch", Zhou Dong wanted to refuse, but his eyes rolled but he nodded and accepted it, and then opened the box very happily, and distributed a box to all the personnel on the Lei Guang on the spot, and then said to Chen Ye: "Do you know what I'm doing here?" ”

"It's rumored in the bar that you're going to join the Pirate Council and be one of the nine Pirate Kings." Chen Ye replied.

Zhou Dong shook his head, and then leaned close to Chen Ye's ear and said: "That's all under the guise of their fighting, in fact, I was one of the representatives as early as a year ago, only Wakeman, Pyros and Moken don't know, the six pirate leaders, in fact, are also divided into two factions, one of them is more pro-Italian and Banya Empire, thinking that they will return to the city sooner or later, and the other faction is more complicated, Zheng Shi and Shore are advocating the consolidation of their own territory, and Jack is pro-British Empire, after all, the princess there is still his lover, It's just that he has already provoked dignitaries from various countries, so he can only be independent. ”

Zhou Dong touched his nose and continued: "Jack and I both have the 'privateering license' of the British Empire, which can be regarded as colleagues in a sense, but he has not been able to accumulate any wealth over the years, and he is just on an equal footing with me in terms of title, and it was he who took the initiative to find me, in order to plan this big event." ”

Obviously, Zhou Dong was a little hesitant, but when he saw the box of gold under his feet that had not been touched, he continued to speak: "What kind of pirate council representatives, it is a group of pirate leaders who put gold on their faces, even Saint-Malo They can't be completely in charge, the black market merchants above are their own faction, behind them are the real magnates of the Italian and French Empire, I also wonder how with the powerful force of the Empire's regular army, how can it be impossible to clean up a group of pirate leaders, in addition to the unique terrain conditions of Saint-Malo, this big boss behind the scenes has also made a lot of contributions." ”
