Sojes's volume was not loud, but it was this sentence that made the originally bustling crowd silent for a moment, and everyone thought that Sojes might be crazy.

"Regiment, regimental commander?"

The young man stammered, not daring to bend down to pick up the dagger that had been dropped at his feet.

"Don't you understand? Pick up the knife and kill me, I won't fight back. ”

It was still the tone that did not fluctuate at all, but it was this kind of blandness that did not take everything to heart at all but made the young man's forehead sweat.

The feeling of oppression brought by Sorjes is too great!

The young man's legs began to tremble, and several times he tried to pick up the dagger, but reason in his heart told him that he could not do so, and at last his eyes snapped shut.

"No, Commander, I can't do it!"

He uttered the sentence almost with a roar, and when he finished speaking, as if he had lost all his strength, he sat down on the ground, gasping for air.

Sojes did not express his satisfaction, nor did he express his dissatisfaction, but quietly walked in front of the young man, picked up the dagger again, and then spoke: " Wise choice, although I do hope that powerful fresh blood like you will be injected into our team, but, for ordinary people who dare not kill people, I still hope that you can think more, although it has nothing to do with me whether you are dead or alive, but if you get on the ship, then I need to be responsible for the lives of my team members, and there is nothing wrong with being ordinary, being a pirate is not a game, it is really a life deal that will kill people!"

After hearing this, the civilians had different feelings, many people thought that this was a very humane regimental leader, the blood on the young man's face was also recovering, for a while, there was a period of silence in the crowd, and Sojes also returned to the ship with the pirates at this time, and a touch of complexity appeared on his face.

Yes, it's complicated.

What he just said, in fact, is just for show, although he will indeed be responsible for his own team members, but more importantly, he wants to test the courage of this young man, many pirates are on the thief ship with an impulsive mentality when they choose this path, but they are ready to kill at that time, even if the impulse gradually fades later, they will have the courage to kill because there is no way back.

But this young man is different, although he is dissatisfied with life, but he really does not have the courage to do so, even if his reasons are reasonable, even if Sorges would rather let this kind of person join his team if he has a choice, but once such people increase, it will only have a negative impact on the team like the old loaches that were cleaned out before, so even if his reasons are good enough, Sorges did not agree to let him get on the boat.

"Jack, you can actually recruit some people here, our staffing is not very complete, like navigators are always vacant. ”

Let Cervantes and them board the ship first, Will and Sogers talk about it under the ship.

"If you have time, go to some kingdoms to see your luck, there are still some unsafe in the Empire, I am afraid that some of them are spies planted by the navy or pirates. Sojes intentionally or unintentionally looked at a corner of the crowd, and at the end of the field of vision there was an ordinary-looking man, who didn't look unusual, but his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and a person with such a pair of eyes could never be an ordinary civilian.

Will was certainly not a fool, and glanced at Sogers' eyes without leaving a trace, and suddenly suddenly, his mouth squirmed a few times, and he spat out a somewhat slurred sentence.

"Do you want to kill him now?"

A little moved, but still shook his head, Sojes replied in the same way: "There are many people, and it is not clear what the identity of the other party is, if you do it rashly, I am afraid there will be more trouble." ”

Nodding, Will gave the man one last look, and left with Zoan, who was the last to board the ship, followed by Sojess.

Once on the boat, Dirk squeezed through the crowd and approached Sorges, who patted Dirk on the shoulder and smiled, "How is it, have you thought about it?" "Hmm...... There's nothing wrong with joining the Dragon's Tooth Pirates, but there's one thing I'd like you to approve of. Dirk groaned for a moment and uttered the words.

"Yes, you name it. "It's hard to say this, it's easy to say it, I just hope you can approve me to use a lot of money to experiment with how to transform or even build a magic ship, if you agree, then I won't say a word, and I will stay in the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group for the rest of my life!"

"Is this...... Tell me first, what is the bottom line of the 'lot' of money you mean?" Sorjes accentuated the word "lot." Dirk scratched his head and sneered, "Of course, the more the merrier, but if I really can't get more, I can experiment for a while with 30,000 gold coins." ”

"How much?!30,000!?Damn, 30,000 gold coins are enough to buy me a legendary magic gun!" Even if the pirates don't usually take spending money seriously, they were also frightened by Dirk's tone, Will was more direct, and grabbed Dirk's collar with one hand, and the spit stars sprayed all over his face.

"Okay Will, stop bullying him!" Sojes stopped Will, he was indeed a little surprised at first, but after thinking about the market price of the magic machine ship and their firepower, he was relieved, 30,000 gold coins is indeed a lot, and it is indeed as Will said, you can buy a legendary magic gun, and even pack a batch of matching special bullets, but if you want to buy a magic ship for 30,000 gold coins, a C-class magic ship like the Impact Arrow or the Sidewinder can still buy a second-hand item, as for the higher level, don't think so much... ...

Blocking is blocking, after all, Sojes is just a pirate leader, and he only has a superficial understanding of things related to professional categories, it's not that he can't afford to pay this money, but he just doesn't want to get a return after paying for it.

"Thirty thousand gold coins? no problem, I'll give you forty thousand, but there is a request, I hope you can use this money to make the Snow Fox's long-range firepower really worthy of the identity of the magic ship, can you do it?"

Looking at the regimental leader with a straight face, Dirk was a little uncomfortable, he twisted and said: "Forty thousand, no, no, no, that's too much, thirty thousand is enough for my current use, as for your request, it's not that difficult, as long as there are materials and personnel to help, I think I can make a batch of magic cannons." ”

"Very well, then, welcome to the Dragon's Tooth Pirates!" Thorjes extended a hand of friendship, and Dirk happily reached over, and the people around him put their palms on top of theirs.

The pirate group set sail again, this time to the cheers of the people, and some of the crazy pirates were still greeting the civilians loudly on board.

Ignoring these over-energetic bastards, Sojes inspected the internal maintenance of the Xianglong under the leadership of Dirk, according to Dirk, the defense deck of the Xianglong is made of a very rare deep-sea thousand-grain iron mixed with crystal and the material smelted by the rest of the minerals, and now this rare mineral can hardly be mined in the world, the head of the French Empire is just using some mixed materials suitable for ironclad ships to repair this damage, at first glance it is not a big problem, but the actual defense capability is greatly insufficient, it is enough to deal with those miscellaneous fish in ordinary times, once you encounter a strong enemy, then this hole that has been patched by inferior materials will become a breakthrough for the enemy to break through the Xianglong!

"Fortunately, there is a new smelting technology now, and I use some of the rest of the materials with high melting points and low freezing points as the core of the materials, and attach a layer of white jade shell to the outside, although it is a little lacking in toughness, but it is not much inferior in terms of strength. ”

Sorjes didn't understand any of this, but he nodded his head repeatedly, feeling that although the cost was huge, as long as Dirk could join, the investment was worth it.

Dirk then took Sorjeth to inspect the inner oars and the propellers at the stern, which he had refurbished, and even the sails, which he didn't usually care about by the repairmen.

Both Sorges and Will were satisfied, and during the voyage, they happily discussed how to increase the existing firepower of the three magic ships, to which Dirk gave a very pertinent reply.
