Chapter 5: The Ghost Eye Mercenary Group
"Why? Can't I come here?" Mr. Red Lotus......
Red Lotus was already a frightened bird kneeling and begging for mercy: "My subordinates don't dare-"
Mr. Ghost let out a long sigh, shook his head and sighed, "Your temperament will hurt you sooner or later!", he glanced meaningfully at the captain's father, and walked straight towards the cave.
At this time, the captain and father hiccuped, attached to John's ear, and said, "We'll continue to drink in the evening!"
Honglian didn't dare to get up until he saw that Mr. Ghost had walked away, picked up his staff and broadsword, grinned, and said arrogantly: "Next time, you won't have that good luck to escape!"
The captain's father snorted coldly, picked up his clothes, slapped them a few times, and complained from time to time: "Oops...... He was poor enough, and now even the last piece of clothing was soiled. He looked up at the cloudy sky and scolded: "If you don't see the sun, you know it's good!"
The captain's father was arrogant and rude to the red lotus, and the red lotus couldn't be angry, but because Mr. Ghost was also there, he had to give up and leave quietly.
John secretly wrenched a cold sweat for the captain's father, Honglian's heart is ruthless, he can be called a villain, and he does everything.
John hurried to Daddy's side and gave a piece of advice: "Daddy, I know your strength. But Lord Red Lotus, it's best not to mess with him. He is the most insidious in the entire mercenary group, easy to dodge with open guns, and difficult to defend against hidden arrows!"
"Joke ......," said the captain, wiping his nose with his hand, and said proudly, "I have drunk much more seawater and received more knives than you boy." β
Although the two are of the same age, they are only in their fifties.
But his experience is much more knowledgeable than John's mercenary who burns and loots all day in a mercenary relationship.
Moreover, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two, and there is a ring ruler in my father's heart: "A pirate is a pirate, and after leaving the sea, I am still a pirate, and this injury is proof." β
"......"
"Alright, alright...... Don't always be this stinky shelf, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it's better to live a chic life!", he didn't want to pay more attention to John, and said arrogantly: "If he dares to be so rude to me next time, I will really attack me!"
John obviously knew that he couldn't persuade his father, so he had to give up: "Then you can do it yourself!"
"You kid, let you practice your basic skills more, and you won't be reduced to ......", he burst into tears as he spoke, and glanced at this ghost place, still with a yearning and persistence for the vast ocean in his heart: "It's better to be a pirate!"
"Daddy......", John also sighed: "If it weren't for the encounter with Mr. Ghost, I'm afraid you should be at sea now, right?"
"What do you kid know!", the old man was very angry and twisted his mace, and scolded: "You are so good to take care of it, I'll go get some wine and come back." Don't keep talking about what you don't have, practice more basic skills, and strive to be like that kid from Red Lotus in the future, and lead a small team by yourself!"
"Go and come back quickly!", John glanced into the cave, and when he saw that Mr. Ghost had not come out yet, he thought to himself and said, "Mr. Ghost has been in for some time, so don't delay too much!"
The nature of being a pirate is casual, regardless of it, just take care of yourself.
John looked at the scarred back, sighed, and said, "I don't know what you're thinking in your head?"
He slapped the dust from his hair, sat down on the ground, shook his legs, stared at the muddy path where the captain's father had left, and kept saying, "Come back quickly! Don't fall asleep again because you're drunk!"
And in the distance, Honglian remembered the scene just now, his heart seemed to be enchanted, picked up the big knife and slashed around, scolding one by one: "Damn pirate, if it weren't for you, Sister Xue wouldn't have fallen into a long sleep......"
He slashed everything around him with all his strength, and his mind kept recalling the day when Mr. Ghost led the mercenary group to sea:
Five years ago......
A few drops of rain fell from the cloudy sky, and after a while, after a loud thunderclap resounded across the sky, the earth was submerged in the world of rain.
In the blink of an eye, the landslide cracked.
Flash floods erupt, flowstones roll, the ground cracks into gullies, and rolling floodwaters form rivers that flow into the boundless ocean.
And in the midst of the flood, there was a man who walked among the floods with an umbrella, treating this beast as air and disdainful of it.
On closer inspection, the man stepped on a branch of a tree, only the thickness of a fist, but there was no look of horror on his face, and he was allowed to rush into the sea with the beast.
On closer inspection, the man had a beautiful face, a black mole under his slender eyebrows, and a moist and ruddy lip under Joan's nose, but his face was as pale as paper.
But the pair of right hands, missing a little thumb, make people look very cold and arrogant under the beauty of the mutilation.
A blue horse coat blows in the wind, and his bare feet are not stained with dust.
"It's slow!", he looked back at the big ship that fell from the sky, the flag was a pair of blood-red eyes, and with a lot of effort under his feet, the man rose from the air, his right leg was arched, and his left foot landed gently on the deck, and the umbrella was also folded up and handed over to the next person.
Weird!
The big ship didn't even get a trace of rain, and no matter how the wind and rain raged on the sea, it couldn't hurt it in the slightest.
"This wind magic, it seems that you have reached the pinnacle of the world's realm, and you have reached the tipping point of the 'Reigning World' realm?"
At this time, a girl who looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old handed him a coat, and he put it on his hand, combed his short golden hair very skillfully, stared at the ocean, and asked, "The tipping point has been reached!"
"What a big tone!", the little girl grimaced and smiled, "I don't know how to be shy!"
When the little girl said this, Mr. Ghost also blushed and said shyly, "It's almost enough to go to the next level!", but his heart has been restless since just now, and he doesn't know why.
Mr. Ghost was silent for a long time before he asked, "Xue'er, when do you think this speed will catch up with the prey? Why is it so slow?"
The girl licked a lollipop and sneered, "Mr. Ghost, I'm not this boat, how would I know?"
"That man is so strange, why do you have to let me get rid of that pirate?", Mr. Ghost bent down, picked up Xue'er, and said angrily, "Why are you only wearing a dress! The wind is strong on the sea, but don't catch a cold." β
"Poofβyou're a five or six-year-old girl, I'm three times your age!", Mr. Xue'er looked very distressed, snuggled in his arms very distressed, and said softly: "Don't worry about my affairs, after concentrating on solving this matter, let's talk about my affairs!"
Mr. Ghost shook his head and sighed, "I will definitely help you find that treasure, definitely!"
"You must have been hired by that man this time to settle the matter of maritime trade for him, and ...... Do you still think that thing is on this sea?"
"Can't be wrong!", Mr. Ghost hugged Xue'er and whispered as he walked into the cabin, "What about them?"
Xue'er raised her head to look at Mr. Ghost's bloodless face, stroked the joint of the missing little thumb, shed tears of guilt, and apologized: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this sin!"
"Don't be stupid! If it weren't for you, I would have been just a little beggar, and I wouldn't have the mercenary group with 10,000 people today. He smiled slightly, kissed her on the forehead gently, and said, "Don't worry! We will be happy!
"Except for Red Lotus, the other four are still very obedient. Every time Xue'er thought of the thick lips of the red lotus, she wanted to laugh: "Hahaha...... You said that his kid's qualifications are so bad, why did you choose him to be one of the Seven Demons?"
"His qualifications are poor, but he is aggressive, he has never valued life and death, if he can give a little guidance, he can barely break through the critical point in the future!", he said very unconfidently, Xue'er also looked at it, and snorted: "I'm afraid that I will die in the end!"
"I'll take care of their ......," Mr. Ghost fell silent, grimacing, as if he had been slapped in the face, but there was also a quarrel in the cabin, and he sighed, "When will they be able to make it?"
"Come on, let's go in quickly!", Xue'er squirmed and said, "Let me down!
Mr. Ghost nodded, then gently put her on the deck, touched her head, saw her tired face, and said with concern: "Good rest, I'll come to see you later!"
"Okay, I'm really a little girl!", Cher said and kissed Mr. Ghost on the cheek and staggered towards the room.
Mr. Ghost looked at the child-like body, and felt a faint pain in his heart:
(Don't worry!I'll help you recover!)
He lifted the curtain, without a trace of emotion on his face, and glanced around at the crowd, and everyone quieted down when they saw this, and stopped fighting.
At this time, a man with thick lips and thick eyebrows saw that Mr. Ghost had come in, so he picked up a big knife and slashed at Mr. Ghost, shouting: "Fight with me......"
Before the word 'bar' could be spoken, it had been blown away by Mr. Ghost's wind, and the whole person was planted into a barrel made of wood, and from time to time he kept kicking his feet to come out, but finally chose to give up, but he was drinking in the wine jar with pleasure, and from time to time he would shout: "I will surpass you!"
When they saw his virtue, they all laughed heartily:
"Red Lotus...... It's the first time this time!
"That's it!"
"You can't beat Mr. Ghost, let's talk about it when you break through the critical point!"
Mr. Ghost also looked helpless, he sat down in his seat, waved his hand and sighed: "Okay!
"Yesβ"
The crowd sat down, with four men standing out.
Next to an empty chair, the man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eyes like clear springs, a slender man named Columbus Starr, the best at the magic of the earth element, is mature and steady, and has no bad habits and nicknames.
Opposite Columbus is Herman Mario, who has a scar on his face, he is ordinary-looking, but he is famous for his red nose, nicknamed the 'Clown Emperor', who specializes in dark elemental magic, and sometimes appears as a ghost.
Next to Herman is the William brothers, burly, with a serious face but in fact the bone is the elder brother Ampt William, the magister of the thunder element.
Empt's younger brother, Gordon William, is a light-based magister, and speaking of him has always been the talk of everyone.
He always wears heavy makeup, and he looks like a woman, but his appearance is tough but does not match his personality, he is extremely girly, but it also conforms to what people call 'shemale best'.
Gordon, he is enjoying it, who dares to point fingers at him, he will always say such a sentence with passion: "You will not understand the extreme way of 'shemale'!"
The two brothers are known in the Magister world as the 'Twin Evils', and they have been razed to the ground everywhere they go.
Counting the red lotus planted in the wine barrel, and Xue Ji, who was not present, it happened to be the total number of personnel of the Seven Demon Regiment.
Red Lotus is also the most peculiar of the seven, mainly with the fire element, supplemented by the dark element, a person with both elements, the system is superior, but the wisdom is not good, like a reckless man, he can't open his mind.
But in this magical continent, there is only one person who has two elements, so Mr. Ghost also loves him very much.
Presumably that's why Mr. Ghost gave him the name 'Red Lotus'!
First, he was born from the same background as himself, an orphan, without a father or mother, without a name or surname, and secondly, he had high hopes for him and never abandoned him, so that he would join the Seven Demon Regiment.
The Seven Demons gathered together the Seven Elements of Magic, and the last one was their leader, who looked like a child of five or six years old, but was actually a hundred years old.
Like the Red Lotus, it has two elemental systems: wind and water.
She rarely comes out, basically left to Mr. Ghost to take care of alone, in the team she is known as 'Sister Xue', in fact, Honglian calls her grandmother every time, so that every time she is beaten to blood, everyone is scared half to death, and they call her 'Sister Xue'.
The atmosphere was a little boring, and everyone looked at each other, wondering if they should ask why Mr. Ghost would issue an order with carrier pigeons today to the 'Seven Demon Regiment' to go to sea.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ampt secretly glanced at Mr. Ghost and saw that he had been pondering, not daring to disturb, and his face was uneasy.
Mr. Xingxu also noticed it, squinted at Gordon, and asked, "Xiao An, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!", Ampt didn't dare to ask.
"Where is there nothing that is missing?", asked Gordon, in his pretending feminine voice, "why do you want us to go to sea today, and to return the bounty of our former employer, and accept the employment of an inexplicable man to come to this Dead Sea?"
Although everyone heard too much of Gordon's tone, they couldn't stand his coquettishness, and they all got goosebumps. Ampute bowed his head in shame and sighed, "I'm waiting for a man, how can there be a demon like you in the world?"
"What do you say? You are also someone's brother, right?", Gordon Orchid pointed at him, blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes, and scolded: "People are charming, flowers and moons, and a flower ...... the world."
"I really can't listen to it anymore!", Columbus, who has always shown himself to be mature and steady, also became furious at this time, slapped the table and said angrily: "You can still be quiet for a while, listen to Mr. Ghost's orders." β
Everyone was stunned by this scene and looked at Columbus with meaningful eyes.
Only then did he realize his gaffe, coughed dryly, and sat down casually, the standard sitting posture was jaw-dropping.
"Hahaha......"
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know why Mr. Ghost suddenly burst out laughing.
Seeing the puzzled faces of everyone, Mr. Ghost waved his hand and smiled: "I just think it's funny!", he patted the table, looked at Columbus with a smile, and saw that the eyebrows were already beautiful, and they were particularly charming at this time.
Mr. Ghost laughed and said, "Looks like you've had a crazy day, Gordon, I see...... Provoke him much in the future, lest he have no life. β
"People will!", Gordon threw a wink at Mr. Ghost, who also looked embarrassed and coughed dryly.
"Mr. Ghost, how can you do this?", Columbus asked a little shy and surprised, "I don't want to have any contact with this guy, lest I get infected with anything, isn't it?"
"Yike...... Look at what you say to the hearts of others...... Bursts of cold ......", Gordon did not lose his sinister nature, the murderous aura had appeared, and there was already a thrilling scene under the table, and a sharp blade had grown from his fingernails, which had quietly reached Columbus's abdomen.
Columbus looked calm and unflustered, and he had already noticed that he had quietly placed a few sharp blades under his chair.
It can be said that it is in line with his personality and is returned several times.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, they smiled and took back their blades.
Mr. Ghost didn't bother to pay much attention to the entanglement between them, as for the others, they watched the excitement coldly, and as for the four of them, the cadres behind them all turned blue, held their breath, didn't dare to say a word, and each wrung a cold sweat for the two of them.
"Alright! Enough trouble! It's time to get to business!", Mr. Ghost glanced at the red lotus still planted in the barrel, and sighed, "How long are you going to stay in it?"
'Bang-', there was a loud bang, and the wine barrel instantly turned into rubble, and I saw Honglian with a drunken face and a drunken Eight Immortals, and said, "Just finished drinking!"
Mr. Ghost shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "I temporarily let you put down the task at hand and come here for one person. β
"Sir Macbeth, the overlord of the Dead Sea, known as Captain's Father!, Herman finally spoke after holding back for a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
Mr. Ghost nodded slightly, folded his hands, looked at the navigation chart in front of him, and said, "The strength of the other party cannot be underestimated, and I am not completely sure, so this is why everyone gathers." β
"How is it possible?" Honglian looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, vowed to surpass his man, and asked, "How can there be something that Mr. Ghost can't do? You are the only man I admit!"
"There are people outside of people, and I am not a person who is arrogant. In this magical continent, there will be one person in ten thousand people who have the power of the critical point!", he looked at the red lotus meaningfully, shook his head and sighed and said: "This is why I often talk about ......", he paused, and looked at the red lotus with a worried face, for fear that this kid would make a mistake one day to provoke himself, so he mentioned it again: "The five places in this world are the places where my mercenary group must not provoke." There are so many people there who have tipping points! I am just an ordinary person in their eyes, let alone the people below me. β
Mr. Ghost's words, everyone present knew which five places he was talking about, this continent is a world composed of the five great families' respective domains, and in the places where the five lords live, there are many people with strange abilities.
"What about him, Sir Macbeth, what about him?", Red Lotus asked a little unwillingly, "what about him?
Mr. Ghost was silent for a long time before he said: "It's out of reach, I can fight with one, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands, do you understand?"
The meaning of his words is very clear, there are many capable people under Sir Macbeth, and Mr. Ghost went alone, but he was afraid that he would lose one and the other, and finally end up in a fiasco, which is one of the reasons why the Seven Demons Regiment had to be fully dispatched.
Seeing Honglian's arrogant face, Mr. Ghost accentuated his tone and said, "Do you understand?"
Honglian was very unconvinced, bowed her head and responded loudly: "Understood!"
But the red lotus's heart is higher than the sky, and it is aggressive by nature, and the more impossible it is, the more you want to fight. Mr. Ghost also knew this person very well, and he gave Columbus a look, and Columbus understood his intentions, nodded slightly, and remained silent.
"Alright!", Mr. Ghost slapped the table, looked around at everyone, and ordered with the attitude of 'king over the world': "This time-I also hope that everyone must return safely, do you understand-"
When everyone heard this, they all stood up, looked up at the ghost-eyed flag on the ship's board, and shouted in unison: "Understand-"
