"You're very trustworthy." Looking at Liao Yu who pushed the door in, Old Nick raised his eyelids slightly, and opened his mouth to spit out a cloud of wine. "In that case, you can go."

Hearing this, Mrs. Marina hurriedly got up and pulled Emily up, her left hand wearing lace gloves tightly pulled the ruffled hat and pressed down, covering most of her face, twisting her head and hurriedly running past Liao Yu by the door.

Only Emily resisted her mother's pull with some resistance, and cast a concerned glance at Liao Yu worriedly. Fortunately, she received Liao Yu's comforting eyes, and her heart felt a lot better.

"Young people, knowledge alone is not enough." As soon as the mother and daughter left, Old Nick's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were nailed to Liao Yu's face like an old wolf.

Liao Yu unhurriedly pulled out a chair and sat down, naturally as if he was visiting an old friend's house.

"In our East, there is a concept called Gewu Zhizhi, which explores the essence of things by studying the external appearance of things. We're never short of hands-on exploration, and I probably bring more knowledge than you might think. ”

Old Nick was silent for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the flask beside him, and said in a dull voice, "Since you are interested in alchemy, what can you do about it." ”

"I know how to adjust the temperature of the flame and the heating time to make sure that the agent reacts under the right conditions."

Although Liao Yu's professional fields are in programming, medicine, and history, it does not prevent Liao Yu from standing on the shoulders of giants to reduce the dimensionality of alchemical knowledge around the eighteenth century.

Old Nick asked a few specific questions and some operational details one after another, and although Liao Yu couldn't answer them completely, there was no problem with the basic general direction.

After Liao Yu finished answering, Old Nick's eyes finally changed a little, and he stood up slowly with his support on the armrest of the wooden chair and said, "Although your answer does not completely satisfy me, you are indeed much more useful than those stupid pirates who are babbling all day long. In that case, you're barely qualified to be my assistant for the time being. ”

Before Liao Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, Old Nick said in that dull tone: "However, did you improve your magic spell by yourself?" ”

Liao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "No, this is a spell that my teacher helped to improve, and I studied it privately for a while." ”

"Oh." Fortunately, after Old Nick answered, he didn't get to the bottom of it.

Just as Old Nick's voice fell, Liao Yu felt that Yan Yin had updated the news. He quietly lowered his consciousness into the Flame Seal, and found that an option had been added to the Flame Seal's information about the mission.

"Whether you choose to join Old Nick's Alchemy Room, you need to get at least 5 alchemy recipes within seven days after joining the Alchemy Room. If it fails, 1000 generic coins will be deducted. ”

Originally, Liao Yu thought that some special events would be triggered here in Old Nick, but he didn't expect the third option of the mission to appear directly.

Faced with this option, Liao Yu was a little hesitant. To be honest, for Liao Yu, who has received modern education, the power of firearms has long been ingrained in his mind, although Liao Yu does not understand the difference between alchemy mixed with magic and the original chemical biology, but he does not think that this system can overwhelm the improvement of strength by firearms in a short time.

But on the other hand, this task is obviously a hidden side option, although Liao Yu has not yet figured out Hantang's temperament, but according to common sense, hiding also means rare and rare. What's more, the reward for this quest is obviously related to potions, if you can solve your body's problems through alchemy here......

It's a pity that before Liao Yu could make a decision, a tyrannical and harsh voice suddenly interjected at this moment.

"I need to take him to meet someone before he stays here."

"Who are you?"

"Third Ralph?"

They both looked at the thin black man who appeared at the entrance of the alley, a horrible scar that had been torn from under his right eye to the corner of his mouth, a large area of tattoos covering his entire right arm, and a brass-colored flintlock pistol hanging from the right side of his waist.

Liao Yu and Old Nick shifted their eyes to look at each other at the same time, and saw the same confusion and surprise in each other's eyes. It's just that Liao Yu is more suspicious and uneasy, and Old Nick once again looks at this adventurer from the East.

"You don't even know me?" The pirate, who was called the third mate by Old Nick, saw Liao Yu's expression, and his hideous face showed a little doubt, and he looked a little chilled against the background of his scar.

"Well, for the sake of your origins from the East, I'll reluctantly introduce myself. If you ask the same question next time, your head is ready for a kiss with buckshot. Listen, I'm the third mate of the great Black Pearl. ”

The legendary lightning-fast Black Pearl? That Captain Teague, one of the Nine Pirate Kings?

With the temporary investigation of the recruitment department, Liao Yu finally did not have no understanding of this world. As the giants of the pirate world, the Nine Pirate Kings are rumored to have their ships not falling behind even if they are against the regular elite fleet of the navy. It's no wonder that after the other party followed him all the way, he dared to block himself here in Old Nick without fear.

However, more doubts emerged, Liao Yu had just entered this world for a day, how could he provoke the forces of the Pirate King, where did he attract their attention, and there would be no connection between Captain Teague and the previous Liquor Card Pirate King.

Liao Yu's face did not change, but his feet quietly moved away from Old Nick and leaned towards the door.

"I have no opinion." Old Nick was already lying back slowly, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his wrinkled face.

Liao Yu's heart sank, turned to look into Ralph's eyes, and asked directly: "Since it is your first mate who wants to see me, then it is not too much for me to ask the reason in advance." ”

Seeing that Ralph tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked impatient, Liao Yu took a step forward, bent down slightly, and added in a low voice before he could speak: "I don't think the famous Black Pearl will bully such a small character as me, I believe I don't pose any threat to you." ”

Liao Yu's low profile made Ralph inconvenient, especially in front of Old Nick, an outsider, he impatiently pulled out a money bag and threw it at Liao Yu.

"I swear in the name of the great Captain Teague that we will do nothing to you on the Black Pearl, whether you meet the requirements of the first mate or not, and that the money in this bag will be yours. We're not Blackbeard's gang, come with me. ”

Liao Yu looked at the sleepy old Nick, frowned, and finally followed Ralph away without resistance. At the moment of leaving, he always had a feeling in his mind, as if he had heard the name Black Pearl somewhere, and he must find a chance to check it when he went back.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way, and Ralph took Liao Yu all the way left and right, passing through countless alleys and secret doors, which opened Liao Yu's eyes and secretly wrote down the secret words between these methods and pirates.

Not long after, Liao Yu saw the rumored first mate of the Black Pearl, a muscle monster more than two meters tall, in the darkroom of a shore bar.

"Welcome here, Priest Sue from the East, I'm the first mate of the Black Pearl, maybe you haven't heard my name in the East, but I think we'll have time to get acquainted with it later."

Byrne leaned back against the tall bearskin-covered chair and laughed heartily with his arms outstretched. The whole bear skin under his seat actually made Liao Yu feel a little weak at first glance under the momentum of his huge body, and the thick brown beard flew on his chest with his movements.

"Although I am far to the East, I have heard of the name of Byrne, the Black God of War. I have just come to Port Royer from the far east, trying to find the knowledge I crave here, and I wonder how a little man like me could have caught the attention of the great Black Pearl. ”

Liao Yu took a step back slightly, bent down and said.

"You have the humility of your Orientals, which our captain has often praised. However, Sue's excessive modesty can lower his status. The battle between pirates is fierce, and any pirate will crave a true priest to join them, and our Black Pearl is no exception. ”

I've just come out of the recruiting office and they already know my test results inside?

Liao Yu's heart froze, and he became even more cautious in his words, and the afterglow of his eyes began to examine the layout of this darkroom. The room in the bar was only about twelve square meters, and Bourne sat there alone as if he had taken up the whole room, and the two pirates behind him were standing on his left and right with long knives, but they seemed to be squeezed into the corner of the room.

Ralph stood alone with the dagger at his waist by the only door, but what made Liao Yu curious was that this place was located by the sea, and he clearly felt a little hot outside just now, but at this time there was a pot of coals in the corner of the house.

"But with the prestige of the Black Pearl, even if there are very few priests willing to join the pirates, it is not enough to take the initiative to find a crappy priest like me. I'm not doubting your vision, I just don't think I'm good enough to step onto the deck of the Black Pearl. ”

Ralph behind him snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with Liao Yu's repeated retreat. However, Byrne just smiled and raised his hand, and then answered Liao Yu's question.

"Su, you live in the East, and you may have underestimated the faith of these priests. And the materials that the priest needed during our voyage are not easy to keep, compared to the oriental emergency medical techniques you showed us before. Let alone...... It's hard to find a magician who knows how to heal. ”

"Magician?"

Liao Yu said puzzledly, but he secretly paid attention to himself in his heart, the other party had already paid attention to himself when he dealt with that Carter.

In the eyes of the four pirates in the room, Liao Yu's expression represented another meaning.

"It seems that you don't know much about the current state of our wizarding world here, can I ask who your teacher is?"

"My teacher was an orthodox magician from the West who came to the East and decided to stay in my hometown. Due to the oath, I was unable to name my teacher. Liao Yu answered the other party's question without leaking.

"I see." Byrne didn't dig into it. "No wonder your magic is so pure."

Byrne wrapped the bear skin on his body and said in a muffled voice: "Magic has not disappeared from us, but under the leadership of Blackbeard and David Jones, most of them have changed from the original orthodox magicians to all kinds of black magic and other branches of magic. ”

Seeing that Liao Yu's expression had not changed because of these two names that made all pirates taboo, Bourne couldn't help but raise his evaluation of Liao Yu a little. However, he definitely couldn't have imagined that the reason why Liao Yu didn't react was entirely because he had no impression of these two people.

"Most of the orthodox magicians that can be found today ...... All at the Royal Academy. ”

Hearing this, Liao Yu knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to leave.
