Chapter 215: Promotion Nightmare Difficulty (2-in-1)
Tiramisu blackened his face and stepped onto the deck.
Since the fleet had befallen these disasters, her face had not been better.
Elegantly smoking a narrow cigarette stick, Tiramisu pondered silently, then turned his head and looked at Gu Tianqing, who was a naval advisor.
Irin, shaking his fan, moved closer to Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu on the deck without a trace.
In fact, with the route of the warship, all the way to the north, after crossing the latitude, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot, but Yi Rin's fan by the way to hide his expression in front of Gu Tianqing, is also used to it, and there is nothing wrong with slapping it from time to time.
After a few days of sailing, Elizabeth Rin, who seemed to be no threat, had been almost regarded as a little transparent by the Tiramisu and other navies, and no one paid attention to Rin's actions on the ship except for normal work and rest.
However, this also makes it easier for Irin to dispose of the [Unstable Explosives] hidden under her skirt and about to explode in the popping box from time to time.
A small bead sank into the sea and did not cause too noticeable waves.
Irin habitually kept the popping beads at a full quota of ten, and he wasn't a captain anyway, so he didn't need to worry about sailing, and it was a good way to spend some time trying to remember the time when the popping beads were rubbing when he was idle.
"Shipwreck Bay?"
As Irin got closer, he faintly heard some words, coming from the sea breeze, and his heart couldn't help but move.
So he was even more serious, pricking up his ears and eavesdropping.
It would be nice if the dog was here at this time, and the dog is known for his keen hearing.
Irin thought with a little regret.
"Divination...... Cannot...... Be believing...... Route...... Shipwreck Bay ......"
Tiramisu wasn't stupid enough to shout at anything, and with his voice down, Irin couldn't hear the whole discussion.
If you get closer, this eavesdropping is too blatant.
Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu are still in heated discussions.
To be precise, it was tiramisu that was intense, not Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing just smiled and shook his head.
From the few words, Gu Tianqing seemed to be righteously refusing some excessive request from Tiramisu.
As for how excessive it was, Yi Rin couldn't tell from Gu Tianqing's expression.
A few more minutes passed.
The discussion between the two became a little indifferent.
Tiramisu's expression seemed to have eased a lot.
Their voices were lowered.
Finally.
Tiramisu nodded, left the deck again, and passed on through the adjutant order, one command after another, so that all the navies were still alive and performing their duties.
Irin: ?
Thinking for a moment, whether it is acting or really curious, it is reasonable, at this moment Yi Rin must put a question mark on Gu Tianqing.
In fact.
After mixing up with the ship, Irin's consideration was whether to take advantage of the dead of night to snap out the two high-ranking naval officials, Tiramisu and the Governor, maybe it could increase a wave of pirate reputation.
But as soon as Irin thought of the possible plot next, he temporarily dismissed this idea.
After all, under the premise that Irin does not have his own ships, if he snatches these ten warships, he may not be able to convince all the navies and abandon the darkness and become pirates.
And whether it is as Elizabeth Rin or wearing the vest of a skeleton gentleman, killing on this ship will undoubtedly reveal the true identity, after all, there is still Gu Tianqing on the ship.
Gu Tianqing's ability to "tarot card divination" always made Yi Rin feel a little weird.
If it is so accurate, it is equivalent to a "prophetic" ability.
This kind of ability is extremely rare even in the future, and if Tani Tianqing can predict Irin in advance, it is very likely that he will put himself in a disadvantageous situation.
Although it seems that tarot card divination has some prophecies and relies on brain supplements, it is an extremely terrifying ability to predict a general direction.
Now it's just the second main quest, and there is still time, and Irin is not in a hurry.
Besides, it's not time to tear your face with Gu Tianqing yet.
As mentioned earlier, the relationship between the apostles in the trial mission is intricate, and there is no absolute distinction between friend and foe.
If you are not absolutely sure that you will completely wipe out an apostle in the trial mission, you must not make a mortal enmity with the apostle, otherwise returning to the real world will lead to a lot of trouble.
Either you have full confidence and complete killing, or with the help of the general trend of the trial, the apostle will be killed in the trial without a trace.
Just like in Gotham City, where Ihan quietly killed Zhu Yun'er, it can be called a textbook-level example of killing an apostle.
One more thing.
The last time Gu Tianqing used tarot cards for divination, Irin's thought that Gu Tianqing was not paying attention and grabbed a tarot card to check to see if there was an "attribute".
And Gu Tianqing had been on guard against Yi Rin's move, and Yi Rin's fingertips only touched the card slightly, and he didn't get his wish.
But that brief touch also made Irin discover something.
Gu Tianqing's tarot card ...... The material is not normal.
It's not the smooth texture of a regular card.
It feels a little familiar to Irin, like a piece of human skin that can't be picked off on the door of the brain.
Later, Irin looked back and thought about it carefully, and was very suspicious that Gu Tianqing's tarot cards were made of human skin.
But Irin is only suspicious, there is no evidence.
Tarot cards made of human skin.
Black card back, blood-colored texture.
These features, how weird to look at.
Straight to the point.
After Yi Rin felt that Gu Tianqing had a problem, he slowly typed a question mark in the communication panel.
Gu Tianqing looked over here with a smile, her index finger raised at the side of her mouth, and made a "shhhhh
Irin: "......"
Half an hour later.
Night.
Temperatures are lower.
The surrounding area was foggy.
However, this kind of fog is not like the mist in the sea of undead, the strange dense fog that looks like water mist but is not water mist, but a normal climatic phenomenon in which water mist condenses at a lower temperature in the lower atmosphere above the ocean, and has no special connotation.
In the sea fog at night, nine warships sailed straight along the established trajectory.
There was a faint dim light ahead.
One, two, threeβ
The closer you go, the lights in front of you are like fireflies in the night, gradually gathering, converging a hazy yellow light in the night fog, and from the range of this light, it can be roughly inferred that there should be an island-like building ahead.
Suddenly.
Right now.
Irin's chest tightened slightly.
Suddenly, a soft sigh sounded in Irin's ears.
The sigh was like nothing, like a cry, as if it sounded in the ears, and it seemed to come from the tight and swaying chest.
Alice?
"Shh
Yi Rin's eyes were slightly condensed, but his expression showed a hint of discomfort, and in the eyes of everyone, Yi Rin carried her long skirt and walked to her cabin.
By the way, although Elizabeth Rin, played by Irin, has the identity of "the fiancΓ©e of the Governor", the plot does not seem to be bloody, and forcibly arranged Irin and the Governor in the same cabin to the point of being obsessed, and specially arranged a relatively quiet cabin in the corner in the second cabin.
Otherwise, if Tiramisu really wanted to make such a bloody arrangement, Irin would definitely not hesitate to pull out his knife, stab the mysterious governor, and then ride away on the Dire on the sea.
Before entering the cabin, Tiramisu saw that Irin was about to hide, but happily spit out the smoke rings, and forced a smile on her tense face: "Oh, beautiful lady, we may make some moves next, the hull may be bumpy, there will be some noise outside, I hope it doesn't disturb Ms. Elizabeth Rin, hehehe." β
"I hope not, otherwise, I'll let my fiancΓ© get rid of you!"
Tiramisu: "......"
Click.
After Irin put down the harsh words, he stepped off the deck and went to the boudoir in the second cabin below deck, where he was completely locked.
Inside the room, Irin had searched inside and out, and there was no equipment similar to bugging or surveillance.
But if the device was so advanced that even Irin couldn't make out of it, Irin wouldn't fuck it.
Until he saw the infrared sensor and elevator at the Doge's Palace, Irin didn't expect to have the experience of looking for surveillance equipment in a medieval ship.
No one believed it.
Of course, the apostle's experience cannot be told to ordinary people.
Huhuhuhu-
Facing the sea breeze, in the night fog, the nine warships actually formed an encirclement formation towards the hazy light cluster in the depths of the fog.
At this time, the other warships didn't care about cursing or not, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Alice?"
Observing the movement outside the ship, Irin whispered to the lonely mother spirit from the Misty Sea, Alice, in her room.
The sigh that came from nowhere just now should be Alice's voice.
It's just that the [Alice's Curse Chest Bundle] worn on the chest has Alice's curse on it, but it is not like Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongsleeve in the spirit weapon, which can come and go as soon as it is called, which makes Yi Rin feel very helpless, if it is not for the effect of increasing the charm value on the equipment attribute is really fragrant, maybe Yi Rin will regret his decision to wear this curse binding.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Oh? Alice actually didn't bird him.
There was no more sound, as if the faint sigh just now was just an illusion.
"Hehe, where do you get so many illusions?" Yi Rin raised his head and looked through the window in the direction of Shipwreck Bay: "Shipwreck Bay? It's almost a month away from the pirate main quest two, the so-called Pirate Convention. Reputation is not to the point of the Pirate King, or is it ...... What other requirements do you need to become a pirate king? β
"It's a pity that Ruth is only a half-barrel pirate, and she is not very skilled in this area."
"Main quest 2...... Shipwreck Bay ......"
Just as Irin's thoughts were entangled in various clues, he once again remembered every word of the main quest two.
Because "before" was scared, Irin's already developed the habit of writing down every word released by the tower.
[Main quest 2: As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", participate in the "Pirate Tournament" that will be held again in Shipwreck Bay in three months. Current faction: Pirates. γ
[Mission Duration: Before the "Pirate Tournament" takes place.] Mission Failure Penalty: Saddling one or two random "curses". Reward: Unknown. γ
"The Pirate Conference in three months? ...... time limit for the mission? β
Suddenly, Irin's head thumped like a plug.
On deck.
Gu Tianqing's back stood proudly, her eyes staring at the shipwreck bay in the distance, smiling slightly, the smile seemed to be solidified on her face, and there was no change from beginning to end.
At the stern of the Lucky Guy No. 2, next to the main rudder, Tiramisu raised his cigarette stick high, smiled coldly, and issued a command that countless people had been waiting for for a long time.
"To the Shipwreck Bay...... Fire!!!! β
The signal to open the cannon was quickly transmitted to the remaining eight warships.
In an instant, the wreck bay was coming from all sides - >>
The sound of the warship's shells loading completely broke the silence of this sea area.
Click......
Boom Boom Boom!
Countless cannon barrels, within range, spewed terrifying fire at the shipwreck bay at the same time, wave after wave, round after round of shelling, almost without pause, and in the blink of an eye, the hazy light in the night fog was completely drowned.
Transform into more brilliant fireworks!
Boom Boom Boom β
The sea surface was waves, and the fog was even thicker, but this was not the normal water mist, but the gunpowder smoke caused by too many cannons, which was extremely terrifying.
No ship, no single person, could withstand this level of firepower on this sea.
The caliber of the remaining nine warships is not comparable to the weight of the pirates, just by looking at the rows of barrels sticking out of the iron plates, the muzzles are black and thick.
Shipwreck Bay is also a well-known location in naval textbooks.
It is said that one of the largest naval battles in recent years took place here.
Because after that war, pirates did not dare to gather here in large numbers, and even if they were, they were only some unknown pirates, and the deserted fortress of Shipwreck Bay was located in the middle of an easily defended and difficult terrain, and generally no navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work.
Even if you are passing by, you can take a detour directly, saving you more trouble.
Those little shrimp pirates, even if they don't pay attention to it, maybe one day they will die on the sea.
Night.
Shipwreck Bay.
Nine warships.
Dense fog, gunsmoke.
The sky was full of artillery fire.
All this is built into this magnificent picture scroll in front of him, Gu Tianqing stood on the bow of the boat, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.
Meanwhile.
In the cabin on the second deck.
When Irin was about to summon a Dire with her skirt and try her Night Mode to sneak into Shipwreck Bay to see if she could do something from the chaos, Irin froze.
By this time, one of his long legs had stepped out of the ship, and he was fixed on the outside of the ship.
After hesitating for a moment, Yi Rin remembered Gu Tianqing's poker face, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh: "Forget it, it's too late." β
So Irin's leg was withdrawn again.
also dismissed the plan to slip onto the shipwreck bay.
He had almost guessed the consequences of the complete disappearance of Shipwreck Bay on the sea, but he didn't know how Tower would deal with this consequence.
"IS IT A BUG? There are a lot of bugs I've encountered lately, huh? Or is this a new way of beating the game that I didn't think of before? β
The word "once upon a time" in Irin's words was clearly a reference to his slightly salted previous life.
"Gu Tianqing also found out? No, how did he know that the pirate's main quest was related to Shipwreck Bay? Among the pirates...... Is there an inner ghost? β
However, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Irin himself felt ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh alone.
The so-called pirates should not exist in the first place, how can this kind of camp be called a camp when everything is only for the sake of profit, regardless of whether they are fighting or killing each other?
Now there are two apostles left who have never met, and it is very likely that they play the roles of "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones".
Among these two, someone secretly united with Gu Tianqing?
Or is it ......?
Boom, boom, boom.
There was still a frenzied cannon fight outside, and it seemed endless.
The tremors even reached the cabin, and the four unsturdy walls trembled.
Irin was still thinking in the dark.
Elizabeth Rin's fair skin was reflected in a brilliant red glow, making the woman in the dark look as delicate as a flower.
in the cabin.
Silence lasted several minutes.
Suddenly, Irin didn't look back, and laughed in a low voice, "You really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?" β
I don't know when it began, the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Irin with a gloomy expression, making the atmosphere in the cabin a little more inexplicably mad and treacherous.
Alice floated silently behind Irin without touching the ground.
The pale face reopened the scars and oozes blood.
"I said Miss Alice, it's useless for you to release special effects here to scare me." Irin turned her head and said with a smile.
For this kind of visual feast, Yi Rin has long been immune, not to mention a translucent spirit like Alice, which does not touch the ground, and it is not uncommon for him to have two heads in his warehouse.
Alice was silent, but she swooped back the blood on her face at once, and the fresh blood scars on her face slowly healed and were as smooth as ever.
"I guess, your man is up there."
Alice bowed her head: "I hate him, but our fates are connected." β
"The kind that loves and hates? Oh, sorry, I should have put it more down-to-earth...... Oh, do you wish he would not die well in this life, and never find a lover who loves him more than you? β
Under Irin's teasing, although there is no alcohol at this time, Alice finally tells her story.
"That day, our ship encountered it and ......"
And then, and then there was no then.
Alice seemed to recall the terrible scene, her expression was hideous, and her spirit body trembled slightly.
"He was Alice's fiancΓ©, and his long brown hair was like a lion's hair, slightly curly and delicate, and his eyes, like stars and diamonds, were dazzling, and oh, his singing voice was like the most luxurious bell of pure gold, oh ......"
Irin had a strange expression and interrupted Alice's chanting: "Don't you just oh oh oh, my orientation is normal, you don't have to describe it in such detail, I sound, your ex-husband seems to be rich?" β
Alice was interrupted by Irin's fantasy, and the confusion in her eyes disappeared without a trace, and her lips pursed: "It doesn't matter, he is a very talented musician." β
Yi Rin laughed and said, "Well, the love that matches it, and then what? β
Alice continued: "We were lucky enough to survive in the lifeboat, and it seemed to have no interest in us. We drifted on the sea for seven whole days......"
"There was no food, no fresh water, I had severe dehydration, a high fever that didn't go away, and so did he."
"Alice remembers that on the seventh night, there was a fog all around, and it looked like someone was singing."
He mumbled out the names of twenty-three women, including Alice's own aunt and grandmother.
Hiss β
Irin suddenly took a cool breath.
Alice: "? β
Irin: "It's nothing, please continue." β
"So Alice asked him the next day why he had said the names of the women in his dream, and then, with the last of our strength, we scuffled on the boat."
"In the end, I died, and he lived. But we're all one. β
Alice's understated tone made Irin unresponsive for a moment.
But after a little thought, I found that something was wrong.
Merge with?
"Wait." Irin looked up into Alice's eyes, "What do you mean...... He ate you? β
Alice grinned, two rows of white Sensen's teeth, flashing white in the firelight: "He can't abandon Alice anymore, Alice is sure." β
"Oh." It took a few seconds for Irin to calmly accept the ending of this thriller story.
Alice looked confused: "??? β
She hadn't expected Irin's reaction to be so calm.
"So, yours is in Shipwreck Bay?"
Alice laughed, but said something else: "Alice put a curse on her before she died...... Cursed that his silky hair would wither completely, that his charming voice would be as unbearable as a blower, that he would rot like a corpse, that his skin would be covered with abscesses that would never heal, and that no one would dare to approach him...... Alice cursed him, cursed him to take Alice's flesh and blood and live well in the most painful way. β
"At the price, Alice also became an undead." Alice looked intoxicated, closed her eyes, and stretched out her hand to point in the direction of Shipwreck Bay: "Alice can feel it, he is there ......"
Shipwreck Bay?
Is it a coincidence or?
Irin's thought for a moment, "What's the name of your ex-boyfriend?" β
"Hee-hee, Nicholas Cho! The man who is connected to Alice's fate. β
Irin: "......"
The moment he heard the name, Irin didn't think about anything else, and his mood at the moment was not shock, let alone accident.
Ratherβ
"It turns out that there are more unlucky people than me in this role-playing mode."
After learning the full horror version of "Alice's Honeymoon Travels", Irin's silence for a few seconds of silence for the martyr who played "Nicholas Zhao".
Irin finally decides that it is better not to infiltrate Shipwreck Bay for Alice in this environment full of accidents.
If she didn't guess wrong, Alice must have an important hidden plot side quest hidden on her body, and once completed, it is very likely to greatly improve the final quest evaluation.
It's like a treasure map of the Philosopher's Stone.
It's true that Irin's not that much energy and manpower is now digging into more side plots and quests.
Although there are some regrets, there are gains and losses, and under Gu Tianqing's operation, the destruction of Shipwreck Bay is now a foregone conclusion.
I don't know who Nicholas Zhao finally died in this round of artillery fire, and whose head was in the end.
After Alice finished the story, seeing that Irin was completely unmoved and had no idea of landing in Shipwreck Bay, the corners of her mouth twitched and disappeared from Irin's head.
The sound of cannon outside the ship gradually subsided.
On the surface of the sea, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and Irin wiped it on his face, and the smell of residual gunpowder was unusually pungent.
One can imagine how much firepower nine warships put into order to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.
Suddenly.
Irin lowered his head.
After the cannon sound subsided, the long-awaited prompt, not late, appeared in front of Irin on time.
"Sure enough." Irin was expressionless.
[The key landmark "Shipwreck Bay" was completely destroyed. γ
