Shout.

Hearing the captain's call, Sachs Sparrow swung a cable, like a nimble monkey, and landed directly on the deck where Irin was from a ten-meter-high lookout.

Irin didn't say Sachs' last name.

After all, the fact that there were two women on board the Queen, who was unlucky enough, didn't need to be contaminated with another seemingly unreassuring "curse".

- There's always nothing wrong with being on the safe side.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

【Rope Mastery (Advanced)】As long as you give him a rope, he can go to heaven in place.

There are so many quirky skills on this sea.

Irin's sigh secretly.

Although this skill doesn't seem to have much effect, but seeing the saxophone playing so slippery, Irin has no other way to sigh except for secretly giving a thumbs up.

Maybe it's talent?

Irin couldn't help but recall Ruth's amazing massage technique.

It seems that we need to take some time to study the attributes of the ship's people to see if there are any useful crew members.

It is not easy to recruit this boatload of people, and it would be a pity to throw them all out as cannon fodder.

After thinking about it, Yi Rin suddenly found that this seemed to be the job of the "first mate", so Yi Rin was ready to be a qualified captain again.

Saxophone's crew attributes, Irin was quite impressed.

After all, he, like Ruth, is one of the rare talents on this "Queen".

In addition to [Rope Mastery (Advanced)], Saxophone also has another skill that impresses Irin -

【Treasure Hunt (Advanced)】For some reason, he can always easily find the treasure he wants.

Come to mind.

Irin pulled out a stack of ancient parchment rolls with his backhand.

【Uncracked Treasure Map】

【Flooded Treasure Map】

【Incomplete Treasure Map】

【Dirty Treasure Map】

[Treasure map that doesn't look very reliable]

……

In addition to the one that the Queen looted from the treasure room in the first place, Irin's two busy nights also looted a lot of strange things from other ships.

It seems that every pirate has a penchant for collecting treasures, and Irin, who is currently a pirate rising star who is about to become one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", of course, has to uphold the fine tradition of pirates, and has not forgotten to patronize these treasures while preparing for the explosion.

So, Irin's borrowed a lot of treasures.

Even Ruth didn't know how much money Irin had at the moment.

At present, Irin can even use "Gold Coins" as [Unstable Explosives], but the density of gold coins is far less than that of "Popping Beads", so there are no other benefits to using them except to show off their wealth.

When Irin pulled out a stack of ancient treasure maps, Ruth and Saxophone's eyes lit up.

Just as a man sees a woman, Ruth sees Elizabeth Rin's eyes.

"It's ...... Treasure maps? ”

Ruth picked up a roll at random, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Ship, captain, how can there be so many?"

Irin smiled slightly, but didn't explain.

Ruth quickly figured out where the treasure maps came from, and took a moment of silence for the poor captains.

After the silence, she didn't talk nonsense, spread out a few treasure maps, and studied them carefully.

At the same time, Ruth was quietly moved to her dear sister Rin, who had taken out a treasure map that every pirate was eager to see, which was undoubtedly a sign of trust in her.

Oh~ Next time I massage my sister, I must use eighteen means, and I will be grateful to my captain!

Irin saw Ruth's strange expression, but she didn't think much of it.

Sachs was also blind, silently checking the contents and locations of the treasure map.

Irin quietly observed the expressions of the two.

I thought to myself.

It seems that the temptation of treasure to pirates is really so great?

Irin suddenly had a lot of thoughts.

It's just that it's not realistic to have to put these ideas into a plan for a while.

Before going to bed tonight, Irin decided to put his pillow high and think about his next steps.

The task of becoming the "Nine Pirate Kings" should not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

At present, in this world, the only apostle that Yi Rin has come into contact with is Emperor Wang Tian...... Uh, no, it's a dog.

Other opponents, who may have already walked ahead of Irin, are also very likely.

This time, the trial map of the world is too vast, and if you don't want to do something, the final evaluation is likely to be mediocre and you won't be able to get an S-rank or above evaluation.

While Irin was thinking about how to trick people, Ruth and Saxophone had already roughly looked at several treasure maps on the table.

"If I'm not mistaken...... This treasure map is supposed to record the location of the legendary 'Lost Men and Women Spring'. ”

Ruth tossed the treasure map on the table with a strange expression.

"The Lost Male and Female Springs?"

Yi Rin was interested, and hurriedly asked.

Sachs seemed to have heard of the "Lost Male and Female Fountain", and his face changed, and he was so frightened that his legs were clamped.

"Legend has it that anyone who can bathe in the 'Lost Male and Female Spring' will be able to change their gender...... Ruth explains with a smile, "In other words, a man can become a woman, and a woman can become a man!" ”

"Wonderful!" Irin suddenly patted his thigh.

Ruth: "? ”

Sachs: "? ”

The sea: "??? ”

Ruth thought about it and understood Irin's thoughts.

She shook her head and explained, "Treasure...... Captain, it's not as simple as you think, this spring is actually a terrible curse. People who have bathed in the 'male and female springs' cannot really change gender. As soon as you come into contact with cold water, you will return to your original state, and as soon as you come into contact with hot water, you will change your gender again......"

Speaking of which.

Ruth pointed to the distance and smiled strangely: "And on this sea, the most important thing is cold water." ”

Irin: "......"

Never mind.

If you are touched by cold water and turn back into a woman, it is equivalent to carrying an extra curse, which is not worth it.

Moreover, for other pirates, the "Male and Female Fountains" did not have much traction either.

After all, Irin's sure that no pirate wants to be cursed to become a "woman".

Then.

Saxophone picked one out of the pile of treasure maps and handed it to Irin with a calm expression, "Captain, please take a look at this one." ”

"Huh?"

Ruth was shocked, and without waiting for Irin to take over, she subconsciously snatched it from the saxophone, carefully recognized the ancient words on the parchment scroll for a while, and her tone trembled slightly: "Wait, is this the legendary ...... 'philosopher'?" ”

Sachs nodded: "Very likely. ”

Philosopher's stone?

It's pretty much as the name suggests.

Irin asked, "Is it very attractive to pirates?" ”

Sachs and Ruth said at the same time, "Very big! ”

Yi Rin's little hand clapped and crackled: "That's it!" Sa, show the way! ”

Saxophone: "??? ”

Xiao Sa?

But Sachs didn't dwell on the nickname for long, and carefully took an ancient compass from his bosom.

He carefully compared the treasure map with the nautical chart, combined with the direction of the compass, and soon after, Sachs pointed out the course.

Ruth frowned slightly.

She watched the movements of the saxophone and felt that the shaking of the compass hands was a little strange.

But Ruth thought about it, maybe Xiao Sa's compass was too old, and it was not strange, it was good to use it.

Under the guidance of Xiao Sa, the Queen's course was soon set.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the crew, Yi Rin did not hide it, and directly told every crew member of the Queen the destination of the ship loudly.

When the group of pirates who regarded gold coins as their life learned that Irin actually had the treasure map of the "Philosopher's Stone", they all looked up to the sky and let out an irrepressible wolf howl, and they all sighed that they had not been on the wrong thief ship.

Reflected in the captain's panel, almost every crew member, loyalty has risen a little.

Even the loyalty of "Loyal Charlie" has skyrocketed from "15" to "18", which is gratifying.

Irin gradually got acquainted with the gameplay of the "Captain's Panel", and found this trial of the inner world very interesting.

This "Queen" is not equipped with too much firepower.

The left and right chords are equipped with a total of 42 cannons, which are divided into two calibers: "14-pounder iron bullet" and "8-pounder iron bullet".

Other rum, fresh water, vegetables, bacon, brown bread and other supplies were stored separately and calculated by Ruth.

Sailing on the sea, not only to fight for combat effectiveness, but also to consume materials reasonably, otherwise even if the apostle is very likely to starve to death or die of thirst on the sea.

In this way, it was a very clear choice to recruit Ruth, who had been a tavern hostess for many years, on board.

Not to mention that Yi Rin needs Ruth's help every time she dresses, and the consumption of those materials is calculated, if Yi Rin is left alone to get it, it will have to consume a lot of energy.

Well, in addition, top-notch massage techniques are also very practical.

Ness!

After the treasure hunt expert Saxophone is gone.

Irin instructed Ruth, "I'll print a few copies of the 'Philosopher's Stone' treasure map later, I'll be useful." ”

When Ruth heard this, although she was full of doubts about Irin's order, she didn't bother to ask, twisted her waist, and went to do something for Rin.

After obtaining the rubbings of the treasure map, Irin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, and stuffed the original copies of the "Philosopher's Stone Treasure Map" into empty rum bottles, and then quietly threw them into the sea.

"I hope it helps......"

……

……

Another week passed.

The voyage was strangely calm.

This surprised Ruth very much, and even repeatedly confirmed that Erin, when she was massaging Elizabeth Rin, was a woman after all.

- Confirm that it is correct.

Didn't you say that bringing a woman on board would bring bad luck?

What about bad luck?

Irin actually found it strange.

The last time he boarded Nolando's ship, he was shipwrecked in less than 12 hours, and Irin still doesn't know if poor Nolando will survive that shipwreck.

I won't mention this matter for the time being.

Because of that damn curse, Irin, for the sake of safety, even ordered the crew early to use a dozen empty wooden barrels, tightly tied together with cables, and hoisted at the stern of the ship for later use.

This puzzling act made the mystery of "Captain Skeleton Gentleman" soar in the hearts of the crew.

Isn't there a lifeboat?

No one could have guessed the captain's thoughts.

Irin just felt that since "women on board" would bring bad luck, then it was not a ship...... It should be fine.

The last time Irin, holding an empty wooden barrel, crossed the ocean and arrived safely on the island of Tetuga.

This is safe after a week.

On this day, there was finally a change.

A startled voice suddenly came from the lookout.

"Directly in front of the bow, there is, there is a graveyard! Be careful, everyone! It's a ship grave! Ship Graveyard! ”

In an instant.

All the pirates who were busy with their work stopped their movements in unison.
