Python Islands, the golden temple that the 'little pink face' of the outside world will never reach,

Planck picked up a large soft orange from the fruit plate, and ate it into his mouth, the flesh was full and round, and the juice overflowed after being ground by the teeth, and the sweet and sour fruity flavor stimulated the taste buds in the mouth, and the aftertaste was endless.

After eating the 'orange' special product of the Bajou people in a few bites, Planck, who wiped his mouth, had to admit that as long as he could listen to the words of the fierce woman, he could still eat some sweetness not only with salty and round heads.

"So, what is the bearded lady that you Bajou people believe in? I see that you often talk to the bearded lady, is the bearded lady in the golden stone cage you are carrying? So why can't I see? ”

Aloy carried a snake mother totem that looked like a sea snake in each hand, just like an adult placing a child's building blocks, and put the snake mother totem in different directions of the trial field, there are a total of eight snake mother totems like this, which means 'the tide from all directions, surging endlessly', which is the core doctrine of Naga Kapolos.

"First of all, Lady Beard is a true god worthy of respect, and secondly, the idol in my hand is called 'Shen Xi', through which I can directly talk to the snake mother and listen to the teachings and will of the snake mother."

"I know that you are the 'true one' of the Baru people, and even those high-level sea beast priests are not at your advantage."

Planck's face was unimpressed, but he secretly said in his heart, each snake mother totem definitely looked like a hundred or ten catties, such a heavy stone pier was as light as a feather in that woman's hand, and sure enough, he couldn't be hard with this woman.

"Then again, the people of Bilgewater say that Lady Beard is actually a large sea beast, and this disrespectful statement has not been corrected by you Bajou, but it has confirmed the truth of this statement, don't you really care that others call Lady Beard a sea beast? If anyone dared to call me bearded, I would have shot him. ”

After setting up the last snake mother totem, Aloy's face was not red and breathless, and he picked up the Shenxi casually, beckoning to Planck, his expression was calm and calm, and his face was not shocked.

Planck saw that this woman always looked impeccable and confident, but he still ate this,

The other soft grinding girls are good-looking, but they really don't have the taste of his old looks.

"How can the true God care about the lies of ordinary men, and no matter what others call Naga Kapoulos, He is a god who symbolizes life, growth, and eternal motion...... Come here, if you want the help of the Bajou, you must pass the Soul Trial. ”

Planck nodded, took a few bites of the third orange in his hand, and followed Aloy's instructions to the center of the eight snake mother totems and stood still, looking at the Baru True One who was facing him calmly.

When it came to the end, Aloy seemed very hesitant, as the true person in charge of the trial of the mother snake, she knew best how dangerous the trial was.

"Planck, Naga Kapoles abhor all things that are cowardly, static, and false,

I say it one last time, even if I have affection for you, it is impossible to leave any room for your soul trial, and when the trial begins, everything will be controlled by Naga Kapoulos, starting with the Mother of Snakes, and ending with the Mother of Snakes, I am just a witness,

In the trial, Naga Capolos's soul tentacles will whip your soul and burn your body, and you must face your worst fears, and if you can't hold on, you will turn into dry bones...... I ask you, are you ready? If you give up now, you may not die, and you may be able to retake Bilgewater by your own ability. ”

Planck stared at the slightly verbose Aloy, he knew that the woman in front of him had always done things neatly, and he hated his mother-in-law the most, but he took the trouble to emphasize to himself three times in this matter,

This woman really didn't want him to die.

Wanting to say something intimate, the man opened his mouth.

"Who are you and me, the things in this world that can break me have not yet been born."

Ignoring Planck's unintentional offense to the Serpent Mother, Aloy's words regained his composure as the Bajou Truth.

If death is Planck's end, she is willing to accept it, because it is Naga Kapoulos's will, and it is also her mission that she cannot disobey as a true being.

In response to the slightly golden light, Aloy had already felt the will of Naga Kapolos descend on the golden temple, and no longer hesitated, the woman waved the idol forward, and the idol that emitted golden light suddenly poured out a blue-green mist, and the mist pounced on Planck, and then spread around,

In the mist, the whole world seemed to sink into the deep sea, and even the sunlight in the sky became dim.

The soul energy from the gods began to grow from the position of the eight snake mother totems, and in just a few breaths, it turned into eight terrifying tentacles that twisted and swayed.

Facing the oncoming soul tentacles, as if some terrible and deep unknown existence was about to pull it into the eternal and silent abyss, the irrepressible fear suddenly hit his heart, Planck only floated above the ocean, but for the first time experienced what an irresistible feeling of suffocation in the deep sea.

The tentacles first restrained Planck's physical limbs, and then four other tentacles surrounded Planck's body from different directions, wrapping around the tentacles.

A soul fire suddenly burned above the tentacles, silently watching Planck, whose life and death were uncertain, and Aloy held up the shining golden light.

"Naga Kablos, no matter what, I honor your will."

The burning pain faded away, and it was like waking up from the depths of the sea.

"Bang!"

The wooden door of the bilge was violently kicked open, and the boy curled up on the straw mat had just opened his hazy eyes, and his body had been lifted by the man in the black tricorne.

The fatigue faded like a tide, and finally realized something, the boy opened his eyes half-aggrieved and half-frightened, and within his sight was a cold face that could not see any emotion, a triangular one-eyed as cold as a legendary dragon, cold enough to freeze any boiling blood.

The man in front of him is his father, brutal, cold-blooded, and has no mercy, only absolute desire for power and control.

"Waste stuff! If the sailors were as lazy as you, what would I eat and drink? Get up and get to work! Don't think you're Lao Tzu's cub Lao Tzu won't beat you, remember, the Black Dragon never raises waste! If you don't get up to work before dawn the second time, I'll throw you waste into the sea to feed the fish! ”

Without waiting for the boy to say anything, the man threw the boy on the ground as if he were throwing garbage.

The boy knows that the man in front of him never threatens others, but only declares the reality that he is destined to do.

If he hadn't been able to get up early tomorrow, the man would have thrown him out into the sea to feed the fish.

Ignoring the pain, the boy struggled to his feet and found a bucket of wooden water and linen in the bilge where all sorts of miscellaneous goods were stocked.

Because he was only five years old, he could only do some of the simplest things, such as erasing every crack on the board of the Black Dragon, and the man would deliberately check some hard-to-reach places every day, and if he found anything that did not belong to the board, he would be either beaten or starved on his chest and back.

"Gollum ......"

The hungry mouth was sour, and the lips were so dry that they could tear blood, and the boy who had eaten half of the rotten fish yesterday forcibly swallowed the sour water rising from his stomach, and moistened his lips with sour saliva, and the boy finally walked out of the bilge with his life tools.

The sky was dark, and the salty and wet sea breeze blew in his face, making the lightly dressed boy shiver,

A faint ray of light has just emerged at the end of the sea, which is not strictly considered dawn.

It was as if he was pinching and torturing him, the man was so strict that he would not let him slack off for a second, and he could even see pity in the eyes of a pirate sailor...... At first, he hoped that these gazes would bring him some help, until those pitying gazes were always only the mercy of the gaze, and he began to hate this meaningless gaze that only interpreted himself as a waste.

He is the son of the Pirate King, and an incompetent waste on the Black Dragon.

Before the age of five, he was a kind and gentle father, and every time he came home from the sea, he would bring him many gifts, tell many legends, and enjoy the life of the pirate king, since his mother was killed by the enemy at home, he obeyed his mother's orders, and hid in the dark to avoid the disaster, everything changed,

He couldn't respond to the grief-stricken father's question, why there was a musket in the dark, but he didn't go out to protect his mother from the enemy, he could only silently follow the strange back and leave the land and walk onto the deck of his dreams,

In my father's story, the deck is the starting point of every legendary adventurer, and the beginning of every pirate's dream of conquering the sea.

His father told him with cold facts that the reason why dreams are dreams is because of the lack of human warmth, rain, snow, wind and frost, and no painful dreams, which should be called delusions, and in this world, only a very few lucky people can rely on others to realize their dreams effortlessly.

Even if he is the only son of the King of Pirates, he is not qualified to realize his dream, the ship belongs to the King of Pirates, not his, even if he embarks on a legendary journey to conquer the sea, it is the legendary journey of that man, not his Planck's.

Maybe it's because he didn't save his mother as his father expected, but it doesn't matter.

As the man said, on the Black Dragon he was not the son of the king of pirates, but a worthless waste, a waste that was not even qualified to board an ordinary ship, and if he wanted to gain status and respect, he could only fight for it on his own.

If he can conquer all the pirates on the Black Dragon, and learn to steer the ship and control the sextant to identify the direction, then he will be the first mate of the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon never looks at age and qualifications, only at ability, the capable go up, and the weak go down.

Yet he is a waste, and will only wipe the waste of the ship with a sackcloth.

Before he learns anything else, he can only wipe the boat, and he must wipe it clean, or he will die.

Staring at the ray of light, the boy slapped himself hard, his head hurt, and his eyes were dark for a moment, but the boy remembered with his body in pain what the king of pirates said in the mouth of the 'dawn',

"You have to wake up at this time, you have to wake up no matter what, if you don't wake up you will die, you will definitely die, Planck, you have to live, even if it is for that woman, you have to live at all costs, become stronger than that man, more ruthless than him, you have to prove to him that you are not some waste......"

Amid the complicated expressions of the other pirate crews, the babbling boy single-handedly slapped a small bucket of seawater and began to wipe it off the deck.

As the flagship of the king of pirates across the Sea of Watchmen, the Black Dragon is much larger than the average sailing ship, and the Black Dragon, which is large enough to accommodate more than three hundred crew members, is a well-deserved overlord of the seas.

The huge volume is a proud capital for the helmsman, but it is an out-and-out hell on earth for the lowest shipwiper, and the boy has not rested much in a day, except for two meals in the morning and noon.

The boy, who had long since learned to keep three points hard, wiped the whole ship before it got dark, and for the first time, instead of beating him after a day of hard work, the man gave him two hard-boiled eggs, an orange, and a roasted chicken thigh.

"I'm not a waste, I'm not a waste...... Dad, I want to protect Mom too...... I really want to protect my mom too...... But my mother told me not to come out, there were only two guns and a knife in the dark, but there were many, many people coming, I didn't know how to use a knife, I could only shoot two, what should I do, what can I do......"

The boy in the bottom of the cabin took a bite of the orange and wept silently.

"Planck, you can't cry."

The boy with tears in his face raised his head and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and from the man he saw the shadow of his father, these two people were just as cold and cruel, and their eyes were as if they were about to eat people.

"You can be fierce, you can be strong, you can kill your enemies without leaving them behind, you can trample on everything that stands in your way, you can't cry, you can't cry!

Tears are the most useless thing in this world, and you have to understand that! ”

"You...... Who is it? ”

As if to get some kind of strength from the man's words, the boy stopped crying and took a knife from his waist,

From the time the woman left him, he began to learn to use a knife, and the musket would run out of gunpowder while the knife would not become dull.

He had thought more than once in his dreams that if he could use a knife, he might be able to kill the bastards who insulted the woman from behind, and he hated the bastards who insulted the woman.

"I am you, I am Planck, the pirate king of the Sea of Watchmen, the master of Bilgewater Bay, come with me and kill everyone on this ship."

Hearing the man say this, the boy looked at the man fixedly and quickly shook his head.

The man in front of him was no different from the bastards who killed his mother, so he wouldn't be like this.

"If you're not me, I won't be like you......"

"Poof."

The boy lowered his head in a daze, looking at the knife that had been stabbed into his chest at some point, the handle of the knife in the man's hand, and the shape was the same as in his own hand.

The man stopped persuading, and cruelty and indifference appeared on his face.

"Even I can't stand in my way." (End of chapter)
