Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 32 Trials
"Although yesterday was only a small episode of our voyage with no end in sight, I feel that I, as the captain, need to answer a little doubt for my dear crew, after all, it is you who have protected our great Black Pearl."
Captain Teague walked out of the hall with a familiar smile on his glass, and raised his glass to everyone.
Liao Yu and the three of them, who were led into this hall by the old pirate, originally planned to bend down to return the salute, but found that the surrounding crew members were standing upright, and Liao Yu had to stand still with the crowd.
The hall in the depths of the Black Pearl was clearly much more important than the one that had previously hosted the new crew, with exotic decorations hanging all over the hall, delicate rum staggered on the wine cabinets, and flintlock muskets and pirate scimitars hanging on either side.
"Blackbeard has always taken some meaningless things too seriously, and he can't let go of some things, and naturally he will lose the same things in the future." Captain Teague's words seemed to mean something else, "Last night's attack was a little revenge on his part, and as our darling darlings sail toward their destination, the loyal crew can enjoy the rum on the rest of the way." ”
Liao Yu, who had the task assigned by the Yan Seal, naturally didn't believe the captain's words, but since he stepped into this hall, Liao Yu always felt as if there was a gaze scanning him. He feared that this was a magical precaution on the Black Pearl, and he pressed his impulse so as not to emit his mental power like he did during meditation and anger Captain Teague.
Liao Yu looked at the hall with the rest of his eyes, and was quickly attracted by a woman standing in the shadows. The woman in the cloak was not pretty, and the exposed brown skin and a string of animal tooth bracelets were obviously not in line with Liao Yu's taste. However, she was just standing in the inconspicuous shadow, and Liao Yu instinctively felt an extreme danger, as if a cheetah was lying in the shadows, staring indifferently at his vital point.
He hurriedly turned his gaze away from the woman. No matter who she is, being here can already explain her identity, and there is no need for me to be sidelined.
With a burst of cheers, Captain Teague ended his speech and "advanced" the fortune of the destination, a method of encouragement that has been tried and tested since ancient times.
"Sue, please wait a minute." A chestnut-haired boy stopped Liao Yu, who was about to leave.
"Is there something wrong?"
Liao Yu looked at the young man in front of him, who he had never met, and suddenly had an illusion, as if he saw the uninhibited sea from his smile.
A light-colored turban neatly wrapped the boy's eyebrows and braids, as well as ornamental braids on the sides, were full of mystery and savagery on Captain Teague, but to him it was like the ocean attaching the rolling waves to the tips of his hair as a favor for him.
"Introduce yourself, Boatswain Jack Sparrow."
Liao Yu reached out and held the right hand handed by Jack, judging from the power coming from the palm, Jack's strength seemed to be far above himself.
"I don't think I need to introduce myself."
"Of course, I heard that you have roughly figured out the two magic arrays?"
"I can't figure it out, it's just that I can roughly complete the first magic array of demon gathering, do they have a name?"
"I'm sorry, pirates don't have much talent for this, I'll try to teach these rum-hungry guys more in the future." Jack shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his right hand sideways in a gesture of please.
Led by Jack, Liao Yu turned into a narrow passage. As he continued to go deeper and deeper in the passage, Liao Yu only felt that his mind was becoming more and more chaotic, and his thoughts seemed to have come to a standstill, unable to think about any questions at all, so he could only follow the figure in front of him and constantly turn around all corners, all the way to the depths of darkness.
"Here we are."
When Liao Yu suddenly woke up, he had come to the center of a quiet hall, and he had no memory of everything on the way he came!
Liao Yu's heart sank, adhering to the principle of not asking or looking, he did not ask questions, and squatted down intently to sort out the magic materials that had been prepared on the ground.
After about an hour, Liao Yu, who was sweating profusely, finally stood up straight and said with a wry smile: "There should be no problem this time, but some materials are wasted." ”
Jack walked out of the corner with a look of surprise and gave Liao Yu a hug when he came up.
"No, no, dear Su, you are completely the most solid magician I have ever seen, and I have never seen anyone who can master a complete magic array in such a short period of time."
Liao Yu took the handkerchief handed by Jack and stood aside with a humble face, as if he still felt guilty about the materials he had just wasted, but in his heart, he didn't believe Jack's words.
"With this magic array, the Black Pearl's defense and speed will have enough magic to guarantee, you did a good job, the Black Pearl can't live without you, I will report this to the captain."
Jack stared at Liao Yu with a sincere face, and Liao Yu reciprocated the other party with the same sincerity: "It's my honor to make this small contribution to the Black Pearl." ”
After the impact of all kinds of modern chicken soup and brainwashing texts, Liao Yu even had the time to think about what test the Black Pearl would give next. His actual combat ability is very limited compared with the third mate and others, and compared with Raphael, who are also newcomers, and the famous pirate king is afraid that he will take in a useless person without a good heart
On the way back, as when he came, nothing happened, Liao Yu tried his best to decline Jack's warm invitation, and went back to his room to deal with his wounds alone.
"One less."
Liao Yu lowered his head to unwrap the cotton cloth of the wound and disinfected it again with rum, but his eyes were constantly looking at the entire cabin. With his extraordinary memory, he quickly realized that the new crew was suddenly missing by comparing it with the previous crew.
"If my research progress in the magic book is half a point slower, I'm afraid the number of missing people will have to increase by one more."
Jack didn't let Liao Yu's secretly tense nerves last long, and he found Liao Yu again before dinner.
"There were a lot of people who were injured in last night's battle, so you should be able to handle it."
"If it's just a simple scratch, then I think I'll be fine, but I need some gadgets."
Liao Yu had expected this, although he did not have the ability to serve as a proper doctor in charge of surgery, but in the past few years, whether it is familiarity with all kinds of theoretical knowledge or practical experience, it is more than enough to be an assistant, and there is naturally no problem in using it to reduce the dimensionality of people in this era.
An hour later, watching Liao Yu handle the injuries of the seven pirates so skillfully, both the first mate Byrne and the boatswain Jack revealed a little surprise in their expressions. Although Liao Yu's wound after treatment is simply rough according to the standards of modern medicine, it can be called a work of art in the medical field in this era when bloodletting therapy still exists.
"It's a good feeling to be on the shoulders of giants."
Liao Yu sensed the expressions of several core pirates behind him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the movements of his hands sewed up the wounds of the eighth pirate without the slightest pause.
Seeing that everything was going well here, the first mate, Bourne, who had come to check on him, turned around and left the place. As he walked out of the room, he deliberately paused in the corner and nodded slightly at Jack.
Early the next morning.
"Hurry up, wait." Next to a window in the cabin, Liao Yu was pulling the green dragon and urging.
"What's the hurry, Raphael just used it, don't you need time to recover your magic." The green dragon lowered his voice and shouted, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"There are too many people waiting for the meeting, and it is not good to be seen." Liao Yu spread his hands and looked impatient.
"Okay, okay, don't you just wash up with clean water and make it look like we're doing, really." Raphael couldn't stand it anymore and urged the two of them out loud.
"If it wasn't when you used it just now, if you hadn't used it first, I'd be in such a hurry now." Liao Yu muttered quietly.
Although the green dragon had a bitter face, he didn't want to wait for it to become a human flesh water dispenser, so he hurriedly drew a simple spell for Liao Yu, and got some water for Liao Yu to wash up.
"It's a sad day, no wonder the pirates are all smelly, I really admire the previous sea artists." After a few days of "eating and sleeping", Raphael's demeanor was no longer as high-spirited as when he first got on the boat, and he pouted and lay on the window.
"After all, there is a gap between art and reality."
As soon as Liao Yu finished speaking, he saw the door on the deck leading to this place be opened, and Boatswain Jack Sparrow walked straight towards him.
"Hey, Sue, are you free? Or rather, I didn't bother with the breakfast for the three of them. Jack opened his arms and smiled brightly at the trio.
"Of course not, in fact, we don't have much appetite for the time being, and I miss our early days in the East a little." Liao Yu shrugged in response.
"My dear friend, in my opinion, the first rays of sunshine at the rising sun and the never-ending sea are the best breakfasts."
Even Raphael was a little overshadowed by Jack's innate charm.
"Your words always surprise people, something?"
"Of course, follow me."
Liao Yu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately followed Jack's footsteps and left. Raphael and Green Dragon, who were behind him, looked at Liao Yu's back, and quickly narrowed their eyes one after another, and each went separately to find the pirates they knew each other.
