Chapter 208: Gilded Quagmire (2-in-1 Monthly Pass)

The skeletal gentleman waved his hand at the crowd from afar.

It's like a farewell between lovers, and it means a lot.

How can it be!

Unscientific!

Tiramisu's hands clenched his sniper rifle trembled slightly.

She was sure that she would be able to aim accurately, after all, she was experienced, and it was impossible for her to aim at that position wrong.

There is no reason for it, and it shouldn't.

After a moment of consternation, Tiramisu exploded in anger, his mind was empty, and without saying a word, he fired the second bullet.

Bang!

Another golden bullet was fired.

Laugh at!

Beside the skeletal gentleman, on the floor, a screech of rubble was splashed, which was a sign that the bullet had missed.

The third one!

Bang!

The fourth!

Bang!

No one knows why Tiramisu's deep V is able to hide so many sharp sniper bullets.

But all the navies watched Admiral Tiramisu, who had nothing in their minds, like a shrew, pulling out bullet after bullet from his clothes, loading and firing frantically, and it seemed that there was no sign of stopping.

Ding Ding Ding Ding –

Hollow shells hit the ground one after another.

"He's gone."

Irin, holding the binoculars, kept looking at the end of the street, until there was no one or any dog on the other side of Victoria Avenue, and then put down the binoculars and said slowly.

Tiramisu: "......"

Tiramisu deserves the rank of general, such a strange thing happened to him, but he quickly calmed down.

Seeing that the legendary great pirate skeleton gentleman who mastered "black magic" completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Tiramisu slowly put down his gun, his face was dark, and his expression was a little hideous, but it was also quite beautiful.

From time to time, Gu Tianqing looked at Elizabeth Rin's back, thoughtfully.

"Search!"

Tiramisu shook the sniper rifle in his hand, his face was expressionless, and in a burst of brilliance, the sound of the gear grinding with clicks, the delicate and domineering golden sniper rifle was re-transformed into a narrow cigarette stick, which was very magical.

Although Irin's interest in the transformable high-tech sniper rifle in Tiramisu's hand is very important, it is not good to do anything bad in front of everyone, so he can only decisively suppress this idea and talk about it when he has the opportunity.

After quietly sending a string of messages to Emperor Wang, without waiting for the dog's reply, Yi Rin followed the team of the navy to thoroughly search Victoria Avenue.

No surprise, Tiramisu walked straight to where the skeletal gentleman stood not long ago.

On the ground, there were several bullet holes, and the terrifying sniper bullet had long been sunk in the stone slab and was difficult to pull out.

All the navies were on the lookout for it, and under the command of Tiramisu, they spread out around Victoria Avenue and searched thoroughly.

Tonight, destined to be sleepless all night.

When Irin returned to Swan Castle, the sky was already lit up with a hint of fish's belly.

Tiramisu didn't even ask about Elizabeth Rin's departure, because all her attention was on searching for the damn pirate, and Tiramisu didn't care where the Doge's fiancée wanted to go.

Gu Tianqing just smiled slightly before Yi Rin left, and whispered "Beautiful lady, please be safe", and then didn't say anything else.

This made Yi Rin's vigilance against Gu Tianqing a little deeper.

Gu Tianqing...... It seems to be a more sinister character than Irin imagined.

Doubtful?

Yi Rin can confirm that even if he comes out like this tonight, Gu Tianqing will still be suspicious of Yi Rin.

After all, no apostle is really weak at this level, and there will always be something outstanding.

"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting."

Irin suppressed a sudden hint of excitement in his heart, and then opened it and slipped into the room quietly, locking the door with his backhand.

And the girl in the boudoir.

Ruth is about to take off her "Skeleton Gentleman" outfit and change into a black and white maid outfit.

Seeing Irin sneak in and lock the door, Ruth immediately wrapped up and blushed.

"Wow! Rin! It's really, so, too exciting tonight! ”

The dog lay on his stomach and yawned lazily.

"You're not afraid?"

Yi Rin looked at Ruth, who had a somewhat wrong expression, and picked it up on Ruth, the full set of kryptonite appearance equipment of the "Skeleton Gentleman" was carded in the blink of an eye, and when Ruth reacted that she was instantly stripped of her underwear, Yi Rin had already put the "Skeleton Gentleman Appearance Suit" into the storage space.

“Fuck! Rin, how can you be so skilled in this technique! ”

Ruth subconsciously clenched her top, thought about it, and then tightened her bottom, thought for a moment, and then simply opened her arms, posed, and showed her charming figure in front of Irin.

"Hurry up and get dressed."

The corners of Yi Rin's eyes twitched slightly, and he reminded seriously.

Ruth now knew that it was not a good time for Irin to joke once she spoke in this tone, so she obediently dressed as a maid.

While Ruth didn't move, Irin sat on the bed, thinking about what had happened tonight.

The mysterious Doge, the Doge's Palace, infrared sensing, the password elevator, the secrets of the Doge's Palace, the deal with Calypso, the Demon King, Tiramisu's wacky weapon, the strange tech tree.

Clues, fragments, and speculations are rearranged in Irin's mind, and then as if they are peeling back a cocoon, they extract useful content from this messy information.

"Outsider ......"

Suddenly.

Irin remembered what Calypso had called him during that hurricane.

"That's right, Ruth."

"Huh? Need a massage, my captain. ”

Ruth immediately transforms herself from a maid to an exclusive masseuse.

"......, okay."

So, the two of them posed and began to apply the BUFF.

After all, the buff state is really important.

Bedside.

The dog pursed his lips and stretched out his paws to cover his eyes.

"Are you comfortable, my captain?"

"Hmmm......"

"My dear captain, when are you going to blow up the Doge's Mansion again?"

When Ruth thought of tonight's experience, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

“……”

Massage is done.

Irin's refreshed look at the new buff on the Apostle's board.

He knocked on the floor in front of the dog, and the dog raised his eyelids with a slightly unhappy expression, as if protesting that Irin had disturbed the dog-sama's closed eyes.

"Next, according to normal development, the navy will definitely vigorously search the city for the whereabouts of the skeleton gentleman, well, and a dog."

Emperor Wang: "Wang." ”

The dog said he understood.

Irin's continued, "Since that guy is a senior advisor to the Navy, he must be prevented from giving the Navy some bad ideas, such as ...... Search for Swan Castle or something. Therefore, you who have been exposed, must not be exposed to anyone these days. ”

Although everyone up and down Swancastle knew that Elizabeth Rin had brought a dog back, all the noblewomen in London seemed to have some kind of pet to improve their habits, which was not a big problem for Rin.

If there is no evidence, it is not a car.

Moreover, what the Navy wants to find more than a dog is a skeleton gentleman.

Tonight, Yi Rin originally wanted to see if there was a chance to force the mysterious governor out of the chaos to come out of the mountain, and then return to the governor's palace to find out what was going on.

As for the sniper rifle that is beyond the scope of this world's technology, it was Irin's accident, which made things even more bizarre.

And from the very beginning, Yi Rin prepared a [Bullet Deflection] for the dog in advance to prevent Ruth from being surrounded by the navy, so that the dog could slap the [Bullet Deflection] on Ruth at a critical moment to prevent Ruth from being killed by the navy's bullets.

Although things are quite different from what I-Rin had originally envisioned, I-Rin also finds more oddities in the story mode this time.

In general, there are gains and losses.

Irin remembered the deal with Calypso again.

In the "Curse" column of the captain's panel, there is an additional "Calypso's gaze", which makes Irin feel a little bad.

If Calypso's commission is not fulfilled as agreed, there may be some kind of terrible consequences.

Of course, Irin wasn't scared, after all, it was just a curse.

It's just that Irin's ability to reach the self-proclaimed "god of the sea" Calypso.

Omniscient? Omnipotent?

Irin smiled.

"If it's really so awesome, why entrust that matter to an ordinary human?"

"Outsiders? Scold. ”

In contemplation, Irin, who had been busy all night, also felt a little sleepy, so he lay directly on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Next.

Three poles on the sun.

Dressed in full costume, Irin once again came to the Governor's Palace.

After last night's explosion at the Governor's Palace, the defensive force has been strengthened by several levels, and the layers of guards, three circles inside and three circles outside, surrounded the entire Governor's Palace, and it was almost impassable.

Irin, standing in place, roughly estimated for a while, even if he turned on the [Shadow], under this kind of garrison, it was impossible to sneak in without being detected.

This can no longer be called a patrol, it is simply stationed here with heavy troops, and there are no gaps.

Irin looked up.

Looking at the roof of the Doge's Palace.

Unless...... is from above.

Irin reveals his identity, but remains blocked from the encirclement.

"Your Excellency the Governor has decreed that from now on, no one will be entertained, not even the fiancée of His Honorable Governor."

The leader of the squad apologetically rejected Irin's request to see the Governor.

The more she protected the governor, the more Irin felt that there was something wrong with it.

It's just that in the current situation, Irin's hard work is not going to break through, so he can only give up for the time being.

Moreover, he came to the Governor's Mansion for a walk, just to take a look, and he didn't really have to meet the "fiancé" in a normal way.

in the communication panel.

After Yi Rin canceled Gu Tianqing's "Do Not Disturb", neither of them took the initiative to initiate a private chat, and became eerily silent, falling into a delicate state.

"The 'smoke bomb' is enough, and it would be too deliberate to continue to do it."

Irin's waist was quickly twisted around and he left the Governor's Palace.

The whole of London is immersed in a tense atmosphere.

On the side of the street, the wanted notices for "Skeleton Gentleman" are plastered.

On the wanted warrant, he is a man wearing an elegant tuxedo, a skull gentleman's hat, and a "smiley" mask on his face.

- There was also a hideous-looking dog with fangs baring by his side.

The bounty amount above is ...... One hundred thousand pounds.

For a damn pirate, this is undoubtedly a sky-high bounty.

It's just that when Irin's sight of this bounty order that was remade overnight, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The image of the dog on the wanted warrant is as terrifying as it gets, it is a creature from hell, and even the background of the dog, and it also uses an abstract technique to paint a large black shadow with black ink, adding a bit of gloomy and mysterious atmosphere to the dog.

If you really want to follow the image of this wanted post, you can find that stupid dog to be called hell.

Irin stifled a smile and silently left the spot.

Nothing to say for a day.

Until...... Late at night.

London.

The fog was filled.

The moon is dark and the wind is cool.

In Swan Castle, two women in disguise sneaked out.

Straight to the slums.

Irin and Ruth, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, simply dressed up in disguise, which did not look so conspicuous, and shuttled through the narrow alleys.

Rotten, oily, mossy.

Crawling cockroaches, happily bouncing rats, crisscrossing ditches, sewage completely untreated, emitting a foul stench in the sewers.

There is a smell of poverty everywhere around, and it is clear that it is a world of difference from the luxurious urban area.

And in the slums, there is not even a single guard, and it seems that in London it is a dirty corner that even the royal guards do not want to visit.

"This is obviously a good place for Tibetans, why don't you search here and search the streets?"

When Irin looked at it, he thought it was a little funny.

Ruth shrugged helplessly: "Who knows, maybe those guys think that the elegant captain is not happy to hide in such a hellish place." ”

Irin was speechless.

In his opinion, it is more likely that Tiramisu issued an order to search the whole city from above, but the guards below, knowing that there is such a place in London, are too dirty and messy, and do not want to come here to search, pretending to be diligent, sweating and tears on the streets of London, typical bureaucratic style.

Can leaders working in the slums be seen?

It's useless!

It's better to sweat under the scorching sun on the street, and you can also get the appreciation of the upper class.

Irin quickly understood the secret.

In the narrow alleys, in addition to cockroaches and rats, there are also stinking palums.

There were quite a few flies and mosquitoes, smelling the tempting smell of the poor people, and hovering over the heads of the poor people lying in the pile.

Ruth frowned and took out a delicate little wet towel to cover her mouth and nose.

Yi Rin didn't care, he had experienced a worse environment anyway, and this was just a pediatric, except for some discomfort, and it didn't bleed, so there was nothing special.

Half an hour later.

Ruth and Irin finally arrive at their destination.

"I suggest you put away that damn wipes in your hand."

Irin turned his head expressionlessly and reminded.

Although Ruth was reluctant, under Irin's serious threat, she still crumpled the small wipes into a ball and threw them in the corner in disgust.

In front of the two of them, there was a messy pile of garbage, piled up into a small mountain, exuding an indescribable smell.

In the middle of the hill, a passage was faintly revealed, unlit, and the dark passage, like an entrance to the Demon Cave, looked very scary.

Ruth beckoned to Irin in a low voice, "Captain, here!" ”

Irin approached.

On the ground to which Ruth is pointing, a rudimentary skeleton pattern is engraved.

Without hesitation, after Ruth pointed out the entrance, Irin went straight into the garbage heap.

Both sides are full of garbage of various shapes, unsorted, I don't know how much time it has been piled up here, and there are even a lot of rotten food crawling with white bugs.

At this moment, Irin finally understood why there was a gathering place of pirates in the huge London, hidden in the big city.

As the saying goes, the big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the dirty.

This kind of dirty place, let alone the navy, would never want to come near here if it weren't for Irin having a special purpose and no special reason.

The passage formed by the garbage mountain slopes down at an angle of about 30 degrees, and after walking out of about 10 meters, the surrounding area gradually becomes a substantial wall, which is no longer composed of the garbage, and relatively speaking, it looks much cleaner.

Ruth's frowning brows stretched slightly.

Soon.

There was a slight tremor coming from the front, mixed with a noisy and noisy sound.

Take a few more steps.

The pungent and rich smell of rum gradually overshadows the stench of decay.

Finally.

Suddenly the eyes are bright.

A dim light ignited the darkness ahead.

Ruth explained in Irin's ear, "This place is said to have been an underground warehouse used by nobles to hide treasures, but one day, this warehouse was visited by pirates and swept away, and this nobleman has not fallen, and I don't know when this city has become a slum. ”

At the end of the light, there were two dilapidated wooden doors, as if they would fall down with a slight tap.

Irin reached out and nudged.

Syllable.

The door actually slammed down, and it was in front of Irin like touching porcelain.

No, this is simply touching porcelain.

"Hey, damn pirate, how dare you break the gate of the 'Gilded Mire' and lose money!"

A dirty little hand stretched out from the darkness, and at the same time, from behind the door panel, a face covered in dirt came forward with a grin.

While asking for money, the dirty kid seemed to be looking at Irin and Ruth, and there was a little more doubt in his bright eyes.

Before Irin could speak, Ruth was already angry, pointing at the dirty child's nose and scolding, "Damn, I only came here yesterday, you didn't fix this damn door at all!" ”

The dirty kid magically pulled out a small wooden sign from behind his back.

A few words were written on it.

- "Damn pirates, welcome. ”

- "The wooden door is expensive, please compensate for the damage." ”

- "If you don't pay compensation, be careful of rum, it can be poisonous." ”

- "Poisoned, more than innocent." ”

Irin: "......"

Ruth: "......"

This is a naked threat.

and extortion.

Yi Rin was curious: "You lost it yesterday?" ”

"It's a loss, it's just that I didn't expect the style here to be more like pirates than ours."

Ruth was helpless, and was about to take out a few copper plates.

Suddenly.

In the dim light, between Irin and the dirty child, a red shadow flashed.

Smack.

Two bloody fingers fell to the ground, and those two fingers seemed to be completely unaware that they had been cut off, and they were still twisting slightly.

The dirty kid looked stunned.

Irin smiled slightly, cut off two of the child's fingers, and took out a brand-new gold coin, pressing it into the palm of the severed finger, and in the blink of an eye, the gold coin was stained with blood.

"These two fingers are here to give you a piece of advice."

"Some people can't just touch it."

"This gold coin is your compensation."

With three words left, Irin's pulled the stunned Ruth into the underground tavern.

", don't show up in front of pirates in the future."

The dirty child stared blankly at the bloody gold coins in his palms, until the two pirates, who didn't look like pirates, but were more cruel than any pirate, left, and felt a sharp pain in the broken finger, and then leaned over his back, biting his lower lip, and squatting on the ground, holding back the pain to keep himself from crying.

A few minutes later.

The pain eased slightly, and the dirty child in ragged clothes stood up, clutching the gold coins in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn pirates! ”

Then he soon laughed stupidly again, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and hid the gold coin in his bosom, as if he was afraid that someone would steal it, and when he saw that there was no one around, he left the passage with confidence.

Ruth was silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, he whispered, "Some people can't just touch it?" ”

Hearing this, Irin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Ruth is actually concerned about this?

Tucked away beneath the bustling London beneath you, the pirate pub is called the "Gilded Mud".

I don't know whose taste came up with such a tasteless name.

Pirate bars, as they may seem, are only frequented by pirates.

After all, in London, which is full of royal guards, pirates are a shady existence.

You'll have to play this underground party style to have a good rum.

I don't know if it's because it's underground, the gilded mud is airtight, and the whole space is filled with a rotten smell mixed with various peculiar smells.

Even more filthy than Ruth's Fiery Rose, a tavern that would have given it five stars if there were a restaurant hygiene rating agency in the world.

- Negative five stars.

What happened at the door did not cause any commotion.

To be precise, unless Irin directly pulled out a popping bead and blew it up, these drunken pirates would not notice any faint movements.

The two stepped into the tavern.

The smell is overwhelming.

As for what the smell is, Irin's too lazy to distinguish it carefully, it's not a good taste anyway.

Ruth had already been here once yesterday, but only to find a place to inquire about the news, and did not stay in the gilded mire for long.

For pirates, where is the place to ask for news?

Undoubtedly, of course, a tavern where pirates gathered.

Pirates have always had a reputation for having no secrets.

The tavern is very spacious, after all, it was once a warehouse used by a nobleman to hide treasures, and the space is too small to say that it is very empty.

Overhead, the flickering oil lamps and the dim light reflected the twisted and swaying shadows on the pirates, looking from afar, it looked like a group of demons dancing wildly, adding a bit of weird and terrifying atmosphere out of thin air.

But on closer inspection, Irin has the illusion of stepping into a not-so-formal modern bar and jumping on a dance floor filled with colorful neon lights, but unfortunately there is no music.

Ding, Dingdong –

Irin's thought had just sounded.

Behind the bar, an old man dressed fashionably with various braids on his head, his eyelids drooping, his legs crossed, holding a musical instrument that looked like a guitar, and playing it with a tinkling dong.

"Roar~Turn sail together~Raise the flag~"

"Laya~Thieves and beggars~We will never die~"

Hehe, who says there's no music?

Quite a few people began to sing the song of pirates.

In fact, the accompaniment of the song and the guitar are not in the same dimension at all, and they are not the same piece at all.

"Huh? How can someone still be nailed to the wall? ”

Ruth suddenly pointed to a wall.

Irin glanced at it, didn't bother to pay attention to it so much, so she took Ruth and picked a relatively quiet corner, where there happened to be a table that no one patronized, and the two sat down.

Ten minutes later.

Irin and Ruth, who had nothing to do, finally waited for the waiter.

Behind them sounded a flattering voice with a somewhat familiar sound.

"Hey, hey, welcome to the 'Gilded Quagmire', oh, you two are really good-looking, and the skilled Charlie is serving you intimately, I wonder how many glasses of rum you want?"

Irin and Ruth turned their heads.

An ugly man with a blue nose and swollen face, a man who had been beaten so hard that he could barely recognize his mother, was trying to squeeze out a dog-licking smile and rubbed his index finger and thumb at Irin and Ruth, as if expecting some kind of reward called a "tip."
