Chapter Forty-Four: An Unexpected Change
The square outside the Governor's Palace was still bustling, but Zach was unmoved, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked calmly towards an alley entrance step by step.
"Captain Zack, we're meeting again. ”
Zach stopped, looking at the crowd in front of him.
"Is it just a few of you? Kai Pixar, the first mate of the Black Dragon, is still so arrogant. ”
His hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, like the whispering of an evil devil in the abyss.
"Your Excellency, I am honored that you remember me, we are not here to assassinate you, but the Captain has asked us to give you a little word, you know, many things are not suitable to be told in front of Lord Governor and Lord Norrington. ”
Kai said respectfully, he knew what kind of character was in front of him, although he looked like he was aging, but his strength did not wear off with time, but became stronger.
Seeing that Zach didn't speak, Kay continued, "The Goddess of Despair didn't qualify for a privateer's license, not because of the Black Dragon, Captain Pixar never asked for anything from the Empire, so you should know what the Empire has in mind. ”
Zack's expression changed slightly, which was a little different from what he thought, originally thought that Pixar had agreed to the Empire in order to avenge the severed arm, so that the Empire did not take the Goddess of Despair into account within the scope of privateering.
But if it's really like what they say......
"Does the Empire want us to kill each other?"
"In fact, after Captain Pixar received the invitation from the Governor, he sent people to look around, and the Empire did not show any signs of war with other countries, so ......"
"Is the Empire going to attack us?"
Zach looked at the sky, the clouds gently obscuring the moon, and the coldness spread all over his body.
"I know what Pixar is up to, give me a reason to convince me, after all, everything just now is your guess. ”
Kai heard Zack's words and nodded, "As you wish, sir, in fact, the Black Dragon received the invitation more than half a year ago, and now it has been anchored in Buno Harbor for more than a month, and it is only today that Norrington Master came to Buno Harbor and granted us a privateer license. ”
Kai chuckled softly, "And today, the Goddess of Despair has also come to the port of Buno, if there is nothing to do with it, do you believe it?" I think the whereabouts of the Goddess of Despair must be in the hands of the Empire, so Norrington is here with you." ”
Zach frowned, after the goddess of despair came out of the endless sea, the purpose was very clear, as long as she looked at the chart, you could know that the end of the route was the port of Buno, so it was not unusual for the purpose to be grasped by the navy.
"What's more, only some pirates in the Stormstorm Sea have received invitations to be granted privateering licenses, and no pirates have received invitations in other seas of the Empire, such as the Crazy Fish Sea, the Luoyun Sea, and the Caspian Sea. ”
Cayton paused, and said word by word, "This is a conspiracy against the Stormstorm pirates!"
"It's not enough. ”
Zack was silent for a moment and said lightly.
"Well, sir, this is a secret letter we got from sinking a naval ship half a year ago, and I think this will help you make up your mind. ”
Kay took a roll of parchment from his bosom and threw it to Zach.
It has a wax mark that belongs to the Imperial Navy, and it cannot be faked.
Zach opened the parchment, and his hands trembled as he could read the handwriting in the dim light.
"If the Empire wants to exterminate us, it will be done directly, and now in the port of Buno, we should not be able to escape. ”
"Captain Zack, I think you already have the answer in mind, don't you?" Kai smiled, "The empire paid a huge price to clear us for no reason, it will definitely attract the attention and inquiry of others, if the news leaks out, then the major pirates will gather in the storm sea, but the empire can not manage it." ”
"And if we kill each other, then the empire will have a reason to take advantage of the remaining pirates without much sacrifice, and no one will think that this kind of thing is wrong, and we will become the laughing stock of other pirates. ”
Kay said, looking at Zach, waiting for his reply.
"Andler, tell Roger that the plan changes, tonight, bloodbath in Buno Harbor!"
Kay looked around, but didn't find the hidden Andre, shrugged helplessly, took back the parchment that Zach had thrown, and smiled Senran.
"Well, happy cooperation!"
Watching Kai lead people away, Zach touched his eyes covered by the black cloth, sneered, and walked into the darkness.
......
"What happened to the Black Dragon?"
Roger's eyes widened, he looked at Andler in front of him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but what sounds like this is actually an imperial conspiracy to wipe us all out. ”
Andler looked around and whispered in Roger's ear.
Roger nodded and scolded, "These bastards! Forget it, listen to the captain, Lao Tzu has long seen the unpleasantness of those brigadier generals, rob this tonight, and we will also be wanted pirates in the future!"
Roger said grimly and patted Andy on the side.
"You kid, go back to the hotel now. ”
"Since you don't fight the Black Dragon, there's no danger, right?"
Andy pouted, he didn't want to leave, if it would be affected in a while, then he had to find a way to take Margaret away.
"It's even more dangerous now, now it's not only necessary to kill the navy, but also to guard against the Black Dragon, you kid thinks too simply. ”
Andler was a little speechless, and said to Roger, "Let's send him back first, and then go to the captain, and we have to study tonight's affairs." ”
Despite Andy's objections, the two carried Andy out of the hall, and after a while, they sent him back to the hotel, and Roger locked the door to make sure that Andy couldn't escape, so he and Andler left.
Before leaving, he and Andler discussed a plan to blow up the Intrepid with a powder keg.
Andy hurried around the house, and after making sure that Roger and Andler were far away, he ran to the window, cut open the place where the wooden window and the iron lock were connected with a scimitar, and drilled through the wooden window.
Even if the pirates were to riot, it would only happen in the middle of the night, so let the navymen drink until they were asleep.
"There's still time!"
Andy put his mind at ease, but the nobles had already left one after another at the banquet, and he didn't know if Margaret had left, but he was also half the heroine of the banquet, so he shouldn't have left so soon.
When Andy arrives again, there are not many people at the banquet, and Andy quickly finds Nicole, who is dressed as a maid, that is, Margaret.
"It's okay, I caught up. ”
Andy stood in front of Margaret panting, and Margaret looked at him unkindly, "You're here, now that the banquet is over, where is the good opportunity you said?"
