Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 27 Assassination
Liao Yu bowed his head and pondered without concealment, because he knew that in front of these old and powerful pirates, some moves under their control could often make them feel that the overall situation was in control.
After pondering for a while, Liao Yu no longer used the evasive way and asked, "I'm just a magic apprentice now, does the first mate really think my strength is enough?" ”
Byrne replied cheerfully, "Brother from the East, you underestimate your own abilities too much, you have a solid magical foundation that those bragging about, and you can never have a solid magical foundation, otherwise how could that stubborn old guy of Old Nick let you step into his alchemy room, you must know that the old man regards the laboratory more than a woman." ”
Speaking of this, Byrne rubbed his thick beard with a strange expression, as if he thought of some bad memories.
Liao Yu was skeptical of what Bourne said. Regarding the changes in the wizarding world, if what Bourne said is true, then the magic foundation that Liao Yu has learned may really be a bargaining chip, after all, not everywhere can collect such a comprehensive and systematic magical knowledge system like Hantang.
But for this reason alone, Liao Yu found it hard to believe that he had the qualifications to board the Black Pearl.
"Since the first mate Bourne thinks so highly of me, then I'll just follow the first mate on the boat, but I need to go back to Old Nick again." Liao Yu could only agree to come down at this time.
"Okay, well, we will be brothers from now on, you go back first, Ralph will come and take you on board early tomorrow morning."
Bourne laughed and laughed, judging from his extremely natural expression, at that moment Liao Yu even really thought that the other party was really trying to win him over and treat himself as his own family.
It seems that some people really have this kind of infectious talent, if I had this ability, maybe my career would not have fallen so badly.
Liao Yu thought about it and added: "However, the first mate should know that I have met a few friends in the recruitment office, so I ......"
Without waiting for Bourne to reply, Ralph behind Liao Yu said impatiently: "It has been less than half a year since the establishment of the Nine Pirate Kings, and now it is the time for the Pirate Kings to recruit manpower, so I found you, don't be too self-righteous." ”
Liao Yu said with a wry smile on his face: "I just want to inquire about their whereabouts, I don't mean anything else." ”
Byrne nodded and said, "It's not a problem, but if you want our people to go, you don't have to go." ”
"Okay, no problem."
Liao Yu did not take the money bag on the table when he left, which made the gloomy Ralph's face soften a little.
Liao Yu, who returned to the pharmacy, unexpectedly touched the nail, and Old Nick's interest in him was greatly reduced, and in the conversation with Old Nick, he helplessly found that the mission information in the Flame Seal quickly faded until it disappeared completely.
The next day, on the east side of Port Royer, a black three-masted warship alone occupied half of the pier to the east.
The skull flag on a black background proclaimed its presence in the air, and the goddess with a dove of peace in her bow proudly looked down on the ships around her, and three masts on the deck, like magical black steel, stood straight in the center. The slender black ship was sitting gracefully on its own territory, enjoying the spontaneous arch of the waves and the awe-inspiring gaze of the pirates.
This is the king of the Caribbean, the black lightning of the sea - the Black Pearl!
Liao Yu looked at this ship that was known as a quasi-legendary warship in amazement, and for a while he was stunned in place and did not take a step.
At this time, Ralph rarely did not urge Liao Yu, and stood aside complacently enjoying Liao Yu's stunned and reverent expression.
Although Liao Yu had already regarded these pirate kings across the seven seas as heroes from the description of the navy, when he really saw this legendary warship, he realized how pale and powerless those words were.
What surprised him even more was that the Black Pearl, the flagship of the pirate king Teague Sparrow, was able to occupy such a place in the official docks of the United Kingdom.
"It seems that the relationship between the British Navy and pirates is still in the honeymoon period."
As soon as he stepped onto the deck of the Black Pearl, a message came from Liao Yu's flame seal.
"Explorer A12333 has joined the pirate king Teague Sparrow's men, aboard the quasi-legendary battleship Black Pearl, and issue 1,500 universal coins."
"Explorer A12333 joins the Pirate Force and is at the Pirate King level, rewarding 1 merit point."
Liao Yu was first shocked by this rich reward, compared to the fight in the previous world, this reward was too easy to come by. But soon he came to his senses, and there was a vague regret in his heart.
Judging from the fact that the last world took the initiative to participate in the seizure of the magic book, Hantang still followed the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the return. Unprepared to board a ship that was completely out of his control was unsettling.
Liao Yu couldn't help but recall the conversation he had just had before he separated from Old Nick, and last night Liao Yu returned to Old Nick's alchemy room alone, with the basic magic knowledge given by Hantang and modern chemical knowledge, Liao Yu finally brushed up a lot of favorability with Old Nick, and learned to distinguish many magical materials that are unique to the West in this world.
"That thing seems to be important to Teague, even ......" At the end of the conversation, Old Nick suddenly lowered his head and muttered a few words to himself.
"What do you say? If you know anything, I can exchange it with you with our knowledge of the Alchemy of the East. Because Old Nick's voice was too low at the end of his speech, Liao Yu, who had been listening intently, failed to grasp these key information, and he was quite anxious for a while, and he tried his best to stabilize his tone and put forward a request for exchange.
"Oh, young man." Old Nick slowly raised his head, his cloudy eyes staring into Liao Yu's eyes, "If you still have a chance to return to this land, take this silver coin and come to me." ”
Liao Yu frowned, not daring to be dissatisfied with the alchemy master's evasion in front of him, and reached out to take the silver coin and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it. It is a very ordinary looking silver coin, and unlike its original world, this silver coin is engraved with the coat of arms of the British royal family and the symbol of the magician of the world. Under the sunlight, a few imperceptible gold threads faintly interspersed on the surface of the silver coin, but other than that, Liao Yu could not find anything different from the rest of the silver coins.
"It's a pity that I've been in the magic gate for too short a time, and I don't have enough time to collect enough items to exchange information."
Liao Yu, who was heavy on his thoughts, propped his hands on the pitch-black railing, and glanced at most of Royer Harbor from the deck, and the pirate ships around were far away from the location of the Black Pearl to show their awe, and only the vicinity of the Black Pearl was so empty on the crowded dock.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Liao Yu keenly noticed that the soldiers near the street began to move frequently, and quietly an undercurrent was pouring towards the center of the city. Liao Yu simulated the whereabouts of all the soldiers in his field of vision, and finally all the routes converged in one place - the Marquis Castle!
"It doesn't look like what the officers said yesterday, the situation is under control."
Just as Liao Yu thought this, Ralph had already stepped onto the deck with a long knife.
"Three mates."
Liao Yu greeted Ralph very respectfully and honestly, not at all like yesterday.
"I've inquired about all the personal information you want, and I'll come and tell you about it."
Ralph's face could not see yesterday's fierceness and cruelty, which showed that what he showed yesterday was not his usual appearance at all. If someone uses this preconceived idea to deal with him, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss.
"But before that, there might be news you'll be more interested in."
Liao Yu's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, and he immediately spoke: "Did the third deputy minister mean the turmoil in the city just now?" ”
The third officer, Ralph, raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the dock behind him, then looked back at Liao Yu in front of him, and said: "It seems that that kid looks good at people this time, you are a little more useful than I imagined, so what do you think is the reason." ”
"I don't know, I'm just an outsider here."
"The head snake of Port Royer, the lord of the city, Marquis Statham, was assassinated just half an hour ago." Ralph didn't deliberately keep his voice down, as if on this ship, they were the crew without fear.
Liao Yu's eyes were lowered, and he didn't ask Ralph how he learned about it so quickly.
"It seems that those soldiers are not as useful as they claim to be."
However, this time Ralph refuted Liao Yu's point of view and grinned: "Although I hate these uniformed wastes, these people trained by the Stathams are an exception, and they have even been praised by the captain." ”
Ralph no longer hung Liao Yu's appetite, and said directly: "The attacker aimed at the Marquis Statham with a gun from a thousand kilometers away, but unfortunately he only injured the Marquis in the chest, and there is no danger to his life, but unfortunately this guy is said to have had an arm cut off by the people they are chasing, and I don't know if he has the life to leave this island." We pirates don't find guns like this, and I don't know where these people have appeared. ”
Liao Yu's heart jumped, and when Ralph said the first sentence, a modern long-range sniper rifle immediately popped up in his mind. For some reason, he had a gut feeling that it might have something to do with the Arab man he had just seen in the world carrying a shotgun.
And Ralph's words later gave Liao Yu a new understanding of the high-end combat power of this world, and he was only injured but not killed after being shot with this kind of sniper rifle. You know, even an adult elephant will be blasted out of a hole in flesh.
Thinking of this, Liao Yu felt more and more that he was forced to board the Black Pearl, which was really a Huangquan road.
Ralph didn't bother too much on this news, and quickly talked about the people Ted that Liao Yu had met.
"The people you said are very interesting, this time the city lord was assassinated, and the recruitment of the navy stopped, but these people were recruited in the end."
"Recruitment for the Navy has stopped?" Liao Yu shouted in dismay, he didn't expect the actions of the rest of the explorers to be able to change the tasks of the other explorers so directly and quickly. In this way, I must be vigilant about this matter in the future, and I am afraid that the explorers in future missions may not be as "peaceful" as this time.
"Well, except for a few of them who passed with a little combat power, there are two people who are very interesting. The guy named Taylor came up with a rare accurate route map, and to be honest, if he knew he had it, maybe the captain would be interested in him. Another chick named He Xi can distinguish the spices that only the noble ladies can understand in turn, and can accurately give the prices of those different grades of silk, in fact, it is not bad to sell the stolen goods to our pirates. ”
"It's because I found out that they seem to have outstanding abilities, so I originally planned to make friends before enlisting in the army, but I don't need them now."
Liao Yu uncovered the reason for getting acquainted with them without a trace, and secretly paid attention to the fact that they got the detailed information of the mission world in advance, knowing that this world is very different from the real world, and it cannot be directly applied.
If the problem of insufficient information can be solved in advance, Liao Yu will have more than one more chance of winning the task in the future.
