The octopus in the glass jar "snapped" to uncork the bottle, half of its body came out of the water, raised the two tentacles at the very end, and swayed twice in the air - as if to say hello. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hey, brother, we're meeting again!" the little octopus made a loud voice that didn't match its size.

"Squidward......

The black-haired knight heard Babur's voice, and quickly leaned down, stared at its sesame-sized one-eyed, and asked in surprise and joy:

"Is it really you, how did you become so small?"

"If it doesn't stay small, it will become big news about the Sea Devils' invasion of Celtic, and what I and you are doing is not very glorious, so it's better to keep a low profile. ”

As an elder who has lived for so many years, Squidward has seen many famous sea demons hunted by humans, and he knows how to make a fortune in silence.

"You're right. ”

Yalei agreed, then sat up straight and said straight to the point:

"Let's talk about my side first, I have a lot of shady goods that I want to ship to the New World, and if I think about it, I still have to rely on Squidward to help carry them. ”

"Goods that are not visible...... Is it risky?" said Babur's voice, which became serious.

"It shouldn't be too big for you, and the chances of being found from a deep-sea cargo are too low. But if the Federation finds out, you're out of luck, and you'll probably be on their hunt list. But I can assure you that the Celtic seas will always have a habitat for you, and no one will help you here. ”

In line with the attitude of not cheating allies, the black-haired knight almost directly picks out the matter, you choose whether to do it or not, everyone earns money together, and you don't blame me if you are unlucky in the future.

"Hahaha, brother, you are really straightforward, I like it. ”

Babur let out a loud laugh, and the two tentacles at the front of the front pressed against the edge of the mouth of the can, brought his head closer to the other party, and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"The risk is so great, what are you going to smuggle?"

The black-haired knight then bowed his head, and also approached the octopus lying on the mouth of the bottle, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear:

"Arms. ”

"Arms...... That's amazing...... It's too risky......"

Squidwards were thoughtful, their tentacles unconsciously paddling lightly, and the glass bottle made a soft sound of swaying water.

As long as you are willing to do it, I will give you a 5% share of a single order!"

After Yalei said this, he found that the other party was still unmoved, and immediately added: "My business with the New World is a transaction of hundreds of millions, and if you do it, you can share tens of millions." ”

"What!?10 million in one trip!"

Squidward seems to be extremely sensitive to numbers, and after hearing that he can make tens of millions of huge profits per order, his whole body suddenly stood up from the mouth of the can, and his skin instantly turned pink with excitement.

"Ahem, father. Davy Jones coughed lightly, as if to remind him not to forget something.

"Oh oh oh!"

Squidward quickly faded red, and his eight tentacles rubbed against each other, putting on an embarrassed expression: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to take over this business, but my brother is embarrassed now." ”

"What's the difficulty, brother?" said Yalei, with a deferential expression.

"Here's the thing, my brother's lair is near the Mid-Atlantic, what you call the Uncharted. It's not very calm there right now......"

As Barbur said this, he waved his tentacle at Davy Jones behind him, who immediately took out an old tawny chart and spread it on the mahogany tabletop.

The black-haired knight quickly cast his eyes on the nautical chart, and found that the location of the Mid-Atlantic Ocean was circled with many complex topographic landmarks, and hundreds of large and small islands were scattered in the uncharted waters. Outside, surrounded by swift ocean currents, the mystical Bermuda is at its center.

"Look, brother, my lair was originally here. ”

Babur flexibly drilled out the glass bottle, jumped onto the table with a "bar", stretched out a wet tentacle, pointed to an island on the edge of the uncharted sea, and sighed a little discouragedly:

"Brother, next to this island, this island is where my brother saves money and releases goods, and it is also a territory in the uncharted sea. Originally, everything was fine, brother, I would dump the goods when I had something, and grab a few boats to play if I had nothing to do, but just a few months ago...... Got robbed of the bones of a bunch of dead men!"

"Alas!"

David Jones sighed cooperatively, feeling like an honest person was angry and complaining to an acquaintance.

“......”

Yalei's face was expressionless, and his heart did not fluctuate - isn't it normal to capsize in the gutter to rob the business, you can't only be allowed to rob others, but others are not allowed to rob you.

"Speaking of these dead bones, they used to be very honest, they nested in their nests all day long and did not come out, only active when it was foggy or cloudy, and they also acted alone when they went to sea. Recently, for unknown reasons, the dispatch has become extremely active, and even dares to act during the day, and it is a large-scale operation of the group. ”

Babur pointed to a sea not far from the chart, and carefully explained:

"You see, the islands in this area are all their territory, and they are called Ghost Island by sea demons and pirates, and they are very powerful. I'm separated from them by several islands, and I've never provoked these dead bones, but I didn't expect to be targeted all of a sudden. One-on-one, I'm not afraid of them, but the bones of this group of dead people are pouring out of the nest, and when they are dispatched, they are really full of masts, thousands of miles away, I can't beat them, I can only let them occupy the nest. ”

"There is such a thing!"

The black-haired knight furrowed his brows, he never knew that there were such a large number of undead hidden in the uncharted sea, and that a sea demon like Babur could escape without a fight.

"yes, that's so unreasonable!"

Babur was clearly mistaken, and thought that Areh was feeling righteous indignation for it.

"Squidward, is that what you mean by big business...... The undead?" asked Yare, tentatively.

"Yes, I'm not afraid of ghost fleets in the water, but on the shore, I can't do anything with them. Brother, I have inquired about you and know that you are a capable person. As long as you help me reclaim the lair and the island, the treasure of the sea devil Babur will be divided with you in half!"

Squidward said hatefully, while waving his tiny tentacles vigorously, leaving sticky scratches on the tabletop, obviously hating the ghosts to the bone.

"Well said. ”

Yalei narrowed his eyes, a strange light swirling in his dark pupils, and stretched out a finger and pressed it on the chart:

"Squidward, I don't want your treasures, I will find a way to deal with the ghost fleet, there is only one condition, before defeating them, you must act according to my will. ”

"Huh?"

Babur and Davy Jones were stunned, they didn't expect the black-haired knight to have such a good condition, it was as if he had helped them for nothing.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want treasure, but something else. The black-haired knight's gaze swept over the chart, stopping at the location of the Ghost Islands, and the corners of his lips curled an inconspicuous arc:

"Like a couple of ghost ships. ”

......

Babur obviously didn't expect the black-haired knight to have such a unique taste, and the sesame-eyed fox stared at him suspiciously, and only after half a ring, did he hesitate to say:

"Brother, you're at a loss too much, what's so good about those broken ships, even if they are given to you, you can't use them. ”

"Squidward, don't worry, I want the ghost ship to have its own ideas, and I won't suffer. ”

Are's gaze was fixed on the charts, staring at the Ghost Isles, the light in his pupils sharpening - he wanted not just the ghost ship, but the entire ghost fleet.

The Celtic province is isolated overseas, and no matter how strong the army is, it can only bully the highland kingdom, and now the latter is a vassal of the empire, and there is basically no possibility of being an enemy. If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, it will definitely come from the sea, so there is an urgent need for a fleet that is combat-ready and capable of long-range delivery.

On the imperial side, due to the sharing of the pressure by the Highland Kingdom, most of them will not invest more money in the Celtic provinces, so if they want to have a fleet, they can only rely on their own methods.

But it is simply impossible to rely on the current financial and technological resources of the Governor's Palace, let alone build warships, and even the daily maintenance of the Quincy is extremely difficult.

And even if you build it, you can't afford it, the navy is a well-known gold-swallowing demon, and the magic stone is a bottomless pit when it burns, and there is no huge amount of stable income, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it can be drained for you.

Therefore, it is impossible to have a fleet in the Celtic provinces by conventional means, and if you want a fleet, you can only ask for it from an unconventional point of view - like ghost ships.

Aree and Charlene had seen how powerful the ghost ships were, and if they were to form a fleet, the Celtic provinces would have a reliable force, and the army would be able to use them for delivery.

As long as you have a fleet, many things that were previously only planned in your head can be immediately put into action.

However, if you want to swallow the ghost fleet, it is difficult to achieve it by relying on his strength, so you have to gather as many forces as possible, even with the help of external forces.

At this moment, the black-haired knight's brain was running extremely fast, and he quickly locked on to several external forces that could be used. The octopus in front of him is the most important of them.

"Well, since you said so, brother, the matter is settled. After the deed is completed, your business will be held on to the elder brother, and you will only receive a share of three percent of each order."

Squidward looked very happy, and from his point of view, he didn't spend much money to pull a strong foreign helper.

"Judging by what you've just described, the Ghost Fleet must be a very formidable sea force. If you want to deal with them, you have to gather as many forces as possible, and maybe you can use the rest of the forces in the uncharted area, can you give me a detailed introduction?"

"There is a road, there is a reason!"

Squidward nodded again and again, feeling that he was more reliable, so he tried his best to explain:

"There are four forces in the Uncharted Sea in general, one of which is the power of our sea demons, but we are all used to being free and comfortable, and we like to live in a family way, so although our strength is strong, we can't concentrate it.

The second force is the undead forces, as I said just now, they have now completed their reorganization, and of course the dead are not afraid of death, and they are very strong when fighting collectively.

The third group is the pirate force, which is the most active force in the uncharted sea, often plundering merchant ships and absorbing new forces. The long-term struggle with the most ferocious currents and monsters has also made them practice a strong skill, and when we go out in groups, we sea devils also have to sell some face.

The human pirates are intricately powerful, but there are four main bosses, nicknamed Whitebeard, Behemoth, Witch, and Redhead. These four people have the power that we sea demons are afraid of, and the strongest Whitebeard is about the same as you, and it can be said that it is the pillar of human survival in the uncharted area. ”

When Squidward said this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he spread out his tentacles and made a helpless gesture:

"But they all have their quirks...... Whitebeard likes to take in sons, giant beasts love to commit suicide, witches are addicted to sugar, and redheads are always selling face everywhere. Whether you can use their power or not depends on your ability, if it succeeds, our goal will be half achieved. ”

"What a weirdo ......"

Yalei couldn't help but sigh, silently keeping their hobbies in mind, and then reminded Babur: "Didn't you say that there are four forces?"

"In fact, there were originally only three shares, and the extra one was an emerging force. ”

Squidward tightened his elongated tentacles, his body shrunk into a ball, and he showed a look of fear:

"A group of Iron-clad men who came out of nowhere, claiming to be the remnants of Atlantis, invaded and occupied the islands around Bermuda in a devastating campaign, naming it the Eye of the Sea. Their leader claims to be the Sea Emperor, and his specific strength is not clear, but judging by the strength of several generals under him, he is afraid that he will not be inferior to those pirate leaders. ”

"Sea Emperor......?" The black-haired knight felt familiar when he heard this, and with a flash of inspiration, he asked tentatively, "...... his subordinates Is there a general named Sea Dragon?

"How do you know? Have you seen him?"

Babur's body swelled all at once, and the eight tentacles supported the huge head, and suddenly arched from the table, staring at Yalei with one eye, a look of impatience and thirst for answers.

"I fought him, and I drove him away. ”

The black-haired knight couldn't stand the fishy smell and replied with bated breath.

"Even you couldn't kill the sea dragon?"

Squidward retracted his head, the gaze in his one-eyed eyes flickered, and he sighed faintly: "It seems that I still underestimate the strength of the Sea Emperor, he should be stronger than I imagined." ”

"We can't rush this matter, and a lot of details have to be sorted out slowly. That's it, Squidward, you stay here for this time, and we'll figure out a way while we gather information. Jarley made an offer they couldn't refuse.

"No problem. Babur agreed.

After leaving Squidward and Davy Jones at the Governor's Palace, the Black-Haired Knight exchanged information with them every day to discuss ways to attack the Ghost Fleet. At the same time, he practiced hard in the rock's fighting spirit, and planned to wait for the rock to be completed and learn the fighting spirit of the dark power, and then follow them to the sea to go on a field trip.
