"This is a knick-knack I captured from my previous battles with the rest of the pirates, and it has some magic spells carved into it, and I give it to you as my personal thanks."

Liao Yu looked at the first firearm he had acquired in his life, and then carefully took it into his arms.

"Thank you."

Jack didn't ignore the complicated emotions contained in Liao Yu's words, and continued to say to himself: "Su, in the eyes of you Orientals, what is loyalty. ”

Liao Yu was silent for a long time and then said:

"I don't know, if I want to say it, it is to do my duty and maintain respect and love for my country, my nation or my master, and to do my best to defend and protect it when danger comes, this is what I understand to be loyalty."

"Why, with the prestige of the Black Pearl, would you worry about loyalty?" Approaching the end of the mission, Liao Yu had a lot less scruples in his words.

"Prestige and fear do not bring loyalty, only obedience."

Liao Yu didn't expect Jack to answer like this, and he didn't answer for a while.

"Wealth is to them what the smell of blood is to a school of sharks, and if there is more wealth in front of them, they will not hesitate to abandon the Black Pearl."

"But I think the first mate Byrne and the third mate Ralph at least have the quality of loyalty."

"That's because I gave them something more important than gold."

"In the eyes of pirates, there is nothing more important than wealth, worthy of their life and death. Beauty? ”

"No, it's freedom."

Liao Yu never thought that a word that was often ridiculed in modern times would appear in the mouth of a pirate like this, and he turned his head to look at the sincerity on Jack's face, and the sunshine and ease made him want to avoid his gaze, because he understood that this was something he had lost a long time ago.

"Free ......"

Liao Yu withdrew his gaze and stared at his knees and the beach below him with some amazement.

"From the moment you boarded the Black Pearl, I could tell that you didn't seem to be free at all."

Liao Yu originally wanted to deny this fact, but perhaps being in another world gave him a chance to let go of the pressure on his body, and finally he took a long breath and said, "You're right, I'm bound by money and worried about my body. ”

"Why don't you try to let go, some things may not be as important as you think." Jack said meaningfully, I don't know why, as a boatswain, Jack will accompany Liao Yu to talk so much today.

"There are some things that are burdens and responsibilities." Liao Yu is no longer the teenager he once was, and he knows very well what every choice he makes means to him.

"Is it a burden or a responsibility?" Jack bowed his head and chewed on the words, then nodded, "Maybe you have a point, but I don't think I would choose to live like this." Freedom is more important to us than anything else, and no one likes to kneel all the time under the lace skirts of nobles, begging for their miserly rewards and hypocritical mercy. ”

Jack turned his head and stared at Liao Yu's eyes seriously and said, "Pirates are also dignified, friend. ”

At this moment, Liao Yu felt for the first time that the sentence "people's nobility has nothing to do with their identity, and people's dreams are not high or low" is so true.

At this moment, Yan Yin finally came with the news that the mission was completed.

"The Black Pearl has reached its destination, and the mission has been accomplished."

"Mission completion is being calculated."

"According to the combat situation of the explorer A12333 during the voyage, as well as the current losses of the forces to which the Black Pearl belongs, 600 general coins will be issued, and the merit value will be 1 point."

Seeing this, Liao Yu only felt that he was suffering from his heart to his mouth, this time he already had the defect of an extremely single attack method, coupled with the previous move of attracting the sea god, the final evaluation of this mission could only be regarded as barely qualified compared to the last time.

"Explorer A12333 treated the core crew of the Black Pearl during the voyage, and successfully expelled the Poseidon curse from Monif, the wife of the pirate king Teague Sparrow, and awarded 5 merit points."

Liao Yu didn't expect that just by treating the three core crew members, and when the main methods and materials were provided by the Black Pearl, this matter would actually be able to get a full 5 merit points, you must know that counting this mission, Liao Yu had only obtained a total of 5 merit points before.

"Could it be that Hantang is really a vigilante shuttling through various worlds? But judging from the descriptions of the green dragon and Raphael, Hantang's intentions will not be so simple. ”

"Alright, we're going to pick up something from one of the tribes on the island, so you can stay here at the docks and recuperate."

"Pick up something?"

Just when Liao Yu was surprised, Yanyin came with news again.

"The Black Pearl is ready to enter the forest, and the mission has been updated."

"Mission: Captain Tigue prepares to travel to the Kukukanchi tribe to obtain sacrifices from the opposing tribe. Explorers must follow Captain Teague's party to the altar and must not travel more than five kilometers from the main group. Task loser obliteration. ”

"This mission is a follow-up mission, and Explorer A12333 can choose to accept or reject it, and if you refuse the mission, you will be sent out of this world within an hour."

In Jack's eyes, Liao Yu just showed doubts about this normally.

"Well, something more important." After speaking, Jack put his left index finger and middle finger together on his forehead, tilted his head slightly to say goodbye to Liao Yu, "Goodbye, my friend." ”

Liao Yu lay alone on the beach and closed his eyes to rest, until the discomfort in his chest subsided slightly, and he recalled the strangeness in Jack's tone.

"No wonder Jack rarely talked so much with me after treatment, I hope Hantang's medical expenses are not too outrageous."

"Hantang's medical expenses have always been very fair, which is his rare conscience."

With the sound of footsteps across the beach, a pair of bamboo pole legs that were obviously not slender and round appeared in front of Liao Yu's eyes.

"Well, do you have to drag it from the ground like that, Green Dragon." Liao Yu sighed and sat up from the beach.

"No way, I'm too tired, you slept for two days, the two of us are crazy and desperate for the mission, I don't know how much enmity that Poseidon has with the Black Pearl, originally Captain Teague had already gotten off the tracking with the help of the ritual, but it didn't take long for the other party to bite again."

As he spoke, the green dragon rushed over with a sliding shovel, stopped twenty centimeters beside Liao Yu accurately, and sat down steadily.

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going back, you can see that with my current state, I'm afraid that continuing the mission will be lifeless."

Liao Yu shook his head and said softly, with a little relief in his words. For Liao Yu, who is accustomed to preparing layouts in advance, it is unacceptable to go on an adventure in such a situation.

"Then it seems that Raphael is the only one who has gone on, he has followed the pirate into the rainforest, and asked me to say goodbye to you."

"You're not going to continue?"

"There's no need, the general currency on my body is quite enough, and if this mission continues, I estimate that I will be able to get some items related to witchcraft and ancestor worship at most, which is too cost-effective for me. What's more, I've deduced that the danger ahead is even more deadly than this experience, and I'm afraid I'll have to use up my spell if I follow up. ”

Here you can see the gap between Liao Yu as a newcomer and these explorers, in addition to the diversity of combat methods, in many auxiliary aspects, Liao Yu is also lacking.

"It's fine, but how could Raphael choose to continue." In Liao Yu's impression, this low-mouthed and arrogant man doesn't quite look like an adventurous character.

"Just last night, I sensed that Raphael's breath suddenly rose a lot, and it took a long time before it slowly retreated." The green dragon said casually.

Liao Yu immediately woke up, I'm afraid this is what Raphael had gained by jumping into the sea after the death of the Akachino sea beast. It seems that in addition to himself, the rest of the explorers also have a lot of opportunities.

Looking at Liao Yu's thoughtful appearance, the green dragon stopped talking about it, and instead sent his number to Liao Yu through the Yan Seal.

"Looks like we're going to leave it at that."

"Well, I hope that one day none of us will find out that each other's numbers will suddenly become unfounded."

The green dragon got up and patted the grains of sand: "Maybe one of us has found a way to get out of here?" ”

"Would you like to leave, then?" Liao Yu looked back at the sky, as if talking to himself.

The green dragon paused for a moment as he departed, and then left without looking back.

"I'll tell you about it next time."
