Chapter 346: Abner's Alternative "Fame"
On the sea of Sunia, a large three-masted galleon, with a silver-white body and a statue of a girl holding a sword in both hands, is riding the wind and waves, heading for a route that does not exist on the chart.
Standing next to the bow statue stood a beautiful woman in her twenties, with long dark hair, brown pupils, and features that were both feminine and masculine-like. He wears an ancient Intis-style knight's armor and carries a plain-shaped sword at his waist.
At this moment, the lady was holding the shoulder of the girl in the bow with one hand, looking forward.
At this moment, a young man with slightly curly brown hair walked over, hesitated, and still asked, "Captain, are we really going to that so-called pirate convention?" ”
The Captain of the Ship is the Pale Admiral Maria, who replaced the "Admiral of Hell" Ludville as the new pirate general. She was on her way to the extinct volcanic island where the convention was about to take place on her flagship, the Pale Virgin.
"Naturally, I was going to participate...... In addition to the promotion materials you and Nicole need to be exchanged, there are also ...... Forget it, you don't need to know that. Mary half turned, smiled a little stiffly and replied, her expression very unnatural, like a puppet with a string.
"Captain, since you can't laugh, don't force yourself......" The young man seemed to know Maria well, and couldn't help but complain.
"But, Kent...... The crew always said I was too serious and stressed them out......" Maria whispered after a moment of silence.
"But it's even more terrifying for you to laugh like this, captain......" The young man named Kent stroked his forehead helplessly, but did not continue the topic, but returned to the topic, and said seriously, "But we have many enemies, and many pirate groups have suffered at the hands of you, Captain...... I'm afraid they'll unite against us. ”
"They didn't dare during the conference, the convener of this trading conference was the 'King of the Five Seas', and they didn't have the courage to offend the owner of the 'Black Emperor'." Maria shook her head, brushed her long windswept hair with her hand, and continued, "But you do need to be careful...... That way, you and Nicole don't go ashore and just stand by on board. I'm going to trade alone...... You know, with my strength, even if Agaritu personally makes a move, I am sure to get out.
"Although he is also a pirate king, he is only strong as a 'death number', and he himself is like that."
Kent thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay, but please don't use 'Pale Justice' casually. ”
"I understand that once the 'pale justice' is unsheathed, I am afraid that the situation will get out of control......"
……
Also in the Sunia Sea, a large sailing ship with a length of nearly 200 meters, high in front and back, as if it was a crescent moon, was sailing at a very high speed.
The surface of the ship is painted in black; The guns on the side of the ship were staggered and divided into three rows, in an orderly manner; The protruding part of the deck, except for the mast, is equally tall and massive, at least equivalent to a five-story house.
Although it is fast, it has an odd sail on which a black tombstone is depicted.
If a sailor who lives at sea all year round sees it, he will definitely exclaim at the first time: "Death number"!
At this moment, the 9,500-pound bounty "Slayer" Gilcias stood on the deck, conveying an order from the "Immortal King": "Send a message to all the detachments to let them all approach Toin Island, but not allow them to enter the 15 nautical miles around that island." ”
……
The "Golden Dream", which depicted the gold pound of Rune, the gold horn of Fursack, the Filgin of Intis, the gold riso of Fenerport, and the Sassen gold of Lemburg, slowly sailed into the docks of Toin, and the pirates of the island were dancing wildly and indulging in wantonness, but at this time, they all spontaneously quieted down when they saw this fantastic warship.
The "Vice Admiral of the Iceberg" Edwina, who exuded an inexplicable majesty, took "Gourmet" Bru Walls, "Flame" Daniz, and "Flower Bow Tie" Yoderson from the battleship that was always cleaned and cleaned, and passed through the passage that a group of pirates unconsciously dodged, and arrived at the main venue of the conference.
She was the first of the seven pirate generals to arrive.
"Captain, there's only a meeting tomorrow, why are we here so early? Moreover, the lounges provided here are not as comfortable as those on the Golden Dream......," Daniz asked puzzled after looking around in the private rooms specially prepared for them by the organizers.
"Lieutenant General of the Iceberg," Adevina glanced at Daniz with light blue eyes as clear as spring water.
The captain is watching me! The captain is watching me! Her eyes are so beautiful...... Daniz's heart pounded at the sight of her, and he was both nervous and excited.
But before he could finish his excitement, he heard Edwina say with relief: "It's good to know how to question things you don't understand." Then, she nodded, and said the reason seriously,
"I need to wait for someone here, so I came early."
Waiting for someone? Not only Daniz, but Yoderson and the others all had their ears furled, hoping to know who the captain had asked to meet.
But Adevina didn't mean to explain, and she sprang into a daze, as if thinking about some difficult problem.
In fact, she has entered the "learning space", constantly "analyzing" and "learning" the abilities and spells she has seen.
……
On Tuesday morning, after an overnight voyage, the Aerenheim finally entered a hidden channel on the outskirts of Toin Island, and the surrounding pirate ships gradually increased.
In this regard, Lady Gwen, who is already a "martial artist", and young Tran are both enemies, but Lydia is still smiling, and she doesn't seem to pay attention to the pirates around her.
And just in case, Abner also came to the foredeck, ready to help.
At this time, Lydia, a girl from the blood clan, suddenly came over and whispered, "I saw Celica yesterday...... Did you inform Karen about it? ”
"I just mentioned it simply, and in fact there was something else to ask him." Abner did not deny it, but he was a little evasive.
"Tell and tell...... Actually, it's nothing, I came out to experience this time with the consent of the clan...... Only Mom and Cullen objected......" Having said that, Lydia stamped her foot in displeasure and pouted, "They always want me to train under their watch...... But what's the point? ”
Isn't the rebellion period of the Bloodline a little late...... Abner sneered, but said, "Karen cares about you." ”
As Karen's friend, he unconsciously puts himself in the role of "elder", but the truth is that the girl opposite is older than he has in both lifetimes combined.
"I know, but they're doting! It's not right! After Lydia retorted a few words, she was deflated again, and said helplessly, "Forget it, don't talk about this...... In fact, whether you tell Cullen or not, there's no way I'm going to stay any longer on the Allenheim, it's just a little bit early. ”
So, girl, isn't it good to be direct? Just say what you want to do, aren't you tired of going around the bend like this?
Abner had already seen that Lydia had come to him to say something, and the previous words seemed to be aimed at his character to win a certain amount of sympathy? Although her acting skills are good, she is not inferior to the "audience" in terms of insight, and in the eyes of too many "readers", there are still many flaws.
But to win sympathy means that something is being asked of me, right? Tran's business? She wouldn't really like the boy, would she? I don't think Tran will have a good time in the future with Karen's "sister control" level......
While he was thinking wildly, Abner heard Lydia continue, "...... I want to ask you for one thing. ”
"Tell me about it." Abner was noncommittal.
"You should also sense that Tran is not in a good position on this ship, and I am afraid that it will be even worse if I leave...... And the captain, although she is a very good person, is very careless in this regard...... After all, it is really hard to believe that an extraordinary person is being excluded and bullied by ordinary people......" Speaking of this, Lydia looked at Abner and said expectantly:
"Tran actually admires you very much, and more than once dreams of becoming a 'hero', saving others, and gaining recognition...... So he will listen to your words more or less...... I want you to help me enlighten him, and I'm stubbornly getting into the horns. With his strength, looks, and manners, the closer he got to those sailors, the more he would arouse their disgust......
"Well, it's not the sailors' fault......"
Sure enough, it's for Tran...... Why should I take this hot yam? However, research into the "Rosselto Dream Technique" has progressed, and perhaps the teenager can try it out......
Just as Abner was considering his words and preparing to respond, an ancient ghost ship suddenly overtook the "Alenheim".
Due to the narrow nature of the route, the two ships were relatively close, and Abner could clearly see a familiar man with a blue seaweed head standing on the side of the ghost ship, glancing at him.
Is that ...... "Hanged Man" Alger? The Blue Avenger? Abner's heart moved, and he carefully noted the captain's appearance just now, and then he turned to Lydia and said, "I can promise you, but there is no guarantee that it will change him...... But you have to answer me a question. ”
"What's the problem?" Lydia asked happily when she heard this.
"Why do you care so much about that boy named Tran?" Although there is some speculation about their relationship, Abner does not feel that there is really love between them.
"Maybe his blood tastes better?" Lydia seemed to be asked, and after a long pause she replied uncertainly.
……
On the "Blue Avenger", Alger retracted his gaze, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and thought: That person just now seems to be "Hero Detective" Brian?
How did he come to the Pirate Party?
Alger, who had spent some time at the Church of the Holy Wind in Beckland not long ago, naturally did not know the famous detective, and even read the relevant case files of the other party.
But it was precisely because he had read the dossier that he had worries in his heart:
Every time the detective attends a banquet or a ball, some unforeseen events happen......
Something is going to happen to this pirate convention, right? Should I turn around and leave?
