049 Ransom
"Compared to Olima, there are currently more dungeons and combat content in this area of Bloodport that are worth making for me, so I didn't return to Olima, but chose to stay in Bloodport and become a player of the Dead Armada."
In the official event before the last major version update, Qian Xiaoqian said so, and Han Dongwen certainly remembered.
In the Crown of the Dead Tavern, Han Dongwen and their table have been dispersed into a vacuum area intentionally or unintentionally, whether it is the surrounding drinkers or the bartenders who come and go, they are all tacitly far away from their tables.
Of course, this is not because of Han Dongwen, not because of the Qimen Dart Bureau.
"Dead man's fleet, ......"
Han Dongwen groaned, and Qian Xiaoqian in front of him smiled: "That's right, we represent the fleet of the dead and come to pick up the dart." β
The agreed code has been corrected, there is nothing wrong, and he can obviously act as a receiver to pick up the goods that Han Dongwen and they had.
"Is Blood Harbor fun? Are there many copies? β
The furry and rabbit legs on the side were chatting with Qian Xiaoqian, and he could only smile bitterly: "Let's wait until the incident is done before talking, okay?" β
After speaking, he raised his head slightly to look at Xu Da Garlic on the other side of the table, and said with a bow: "Long time no see." β
Qian Xiaoqian said that it was naturally the last time she met in the live broadcast room of Qiyin Cultural and Creative Company, and Xu Da Garlic nodded expressionlessly in response.
"Let's inspect the goods."
Han Dongwen's tone was a little cold, and he kicked the box with his foot - he originally suspected that the escorted goods of the Haizhou Yihong Mansion were related to the Mianjiang Merchant Group based on the prestige of Crow Bay in the game, but now the appearance of Qian Xiaoqian, who is the "Dead Man's Fleet" of the Bloody Harbor Inhuman Organization, made Han Dongwen directly conclude that the Daqimen and the Mianjiang Merchant Group must be connected.
The existence of the fleet of the dead is not a secret.
Even if Qian Xiaoqian did not explain it in the official event at that time, there were always people who could communicate with each other and find out.
Inhumans registered in Bloodport are treated as suffering sailors in the early stages of the game, and are almost the easiest to accept - Bloodport is a lair of bandits, and there are not a few people who have fled here without relatives or reason to make a living.
The Inhumans took up their work as sailors in Bloodport, and at first they were no different from the others.
Until a certain period of time has passed.
The business done by the Blood Harbor, regardless of whether it is illegal or not, and where it is in accordance with the law, it is always dangerous.
If an ordinary person is shipwrecked on the sea, the only thing to do is to die.
It was at this time that the Bloodport people discovered that even though these Inhumans had boarded the sunken ship yesterday, they were still on the docks the next day.
As a result, the news of the Inhuman's immortality spread in Bloodport, and the sailors began to fear such people, and began to doubt and fear their existence - it is not surprising that if such an Inhuman sailor rebelled on the ship for his own selfish desires, then even if he was buried in the deep sea with the rest of the crew, he could reappear on the docks of Bloodport in the early morning afterward.
Life is the favorite bargaining chip of the people of the Blood Port, and when this means fails, there will be no place for them in the entire Blood Port.
Except for one person.
The youngest, but also the most reused, a newly appointed lieutenant general in Bloodport.
Zhan Taiyi, who ran from Siyang, the capital of Simeng, came to the Blood Port.
At his insistence, the Inhuman players of Bloodport formed a separate team to form a truly fearless fleet that was not afraid of death, like a ghost.
Only the dead are not afraid of death.
The Fleet of the Dead is one such fleet.
Qian Xiaoqian smiled, lowered her head and opened the box that Han Dongwen had kicked over.
Catching the Darts at the Crown of the Dead is just one of the daily tasks of the Dead Fleet's today, and it has never been the first time it has been done.
"I'll click on it."
He bowed his head slightly towards Han Dongwen, and at the same time raised his hand slightly, and pointed to the treasures in the box with his index finger.
His mouth is counting, one, two, three, four, five.
Han Dongwen frowned slightly.
Why Counting? It's as if he doesn't care about whether the treasure inside is damaged or not, and only cares about whether the numbers are right or not.
ββ¦β¦ Seven, eight, a total of eight. β
Qian Xiaoqian finished counting and looked at Han Dongwen.
"One piece is not less." Han Dongwen raised his chin slightly.
There is no difference in the goods staked, which is naturally a matter of pride for the dart master.
But to his surprise, Qian Xiaoqian showed a somewhat regretful expression, shrugged her shoulders slightly and said:
"It's a shame."
Pity?
"What a pity? We're here to bet you! β
The furry man on the side said like Han Dongwen's mouth.
Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "When this batch of things was sent to Simeng, it was eight pieces, and now it is still eight, that is to say, none of you can bring it back." β
"Who?"
Xu Garlic on the side suddenly opened his mouth.
Qian Xiaoqian was stunned: "Why, didn't you say it when the dart bureau had an incident?" β
Fluffy shook his head, and Xu Garlic shook his head too.
Han Dongwen sat on the chair and calmly maintained his expression.
What does Qian Xiaoqian mean?
Could it be that this is not an ordinary dart, but should be missing a few goods?
Who is he talking about?
"Did anyone bring it, I'll take a look." Han Dongwen spoke in a deep voice.
Qian Xiaoqian stood up and smiled: "It's at the door." β
As he spoke, he handed Han Dongwen a bulging purse, which was the remaining half of the dart money.
"Don't sell anything to NPCs, tell me, who the hell are you talking about?" Furry has always been impatient, several people have already stood up from the table, and the two people behind Qian Xiaoqian have also hugged the box, announcing the successful end of this dart luck.
Hearing Mao Mao urging himself like this, Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "I'm a game guide, and intelligence is what I just eat, why should I tell you?" β
Furry, but unable to find anything to deal with him, the group had walked out of the crown of the dead and came to the streets of Raven Bay.
"Right behind the tavern."
Qian Xiaoqian stood beside Han Dongwen and raised her hand to show the way.
Sure enough, there are people.
There were eight children covered in bruises, led by iron chains, with heavy shackles on their hands, standing in the shadows of the alleyway, looking at Qian Xiaoqian and others with anxiety.
Han Dongwen took a deep breath and stopped his steps.
It can be seen from the skin color and hair color that these eight children are all from Simeng.
"Who are they?"
Xu Da Garlic's voice suddenly sounded in the narrow alleyway, and Qian Xiaoqian glanced back at her: "I said it, I'm ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Da Garlic took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "I have found a new high-ranking object." β
"High positionβ"
After Qian Xiaoqian listened, her eyes almost lit up: "It's the kind of person who doesn't eat ridicule?" β
"Mechanically, there is no taunting, and there are usually important events."
Xu Da Garlic bit his lower lip, and his sharp gaze swept towards Qian Xiaoqian: "So tell me, who are these children, and after making it clear, I will show you the high-ranking object." β
Han Dongwen naturally turned his back to them and stood silently.
He shouldn't have been able to understand this kind of conversation, and he shouldn't have known that Xu Da Garlic used himself as bait to ask Qian Xiaoqian to hand over the information.
But Xu Garlic's hand is really good.
For a strategy researcher like Qian Xiaoqian, the attraction of the rare mechanism is much greater than that of a secret that is not a small number of people in the fleet of the dead.
"Kid......? Oh, these little NPCs. β
Qian Xiaoqian's eyes had already moved to the eight Simeng children, and she showed a smile: "Of course, it is the materials sent by Qimen, after the people are sent to the Blood Port, they will take some broken copper and iron to auction in Simeng, if someone pays for it, you can bring it back to Simeng." β
Xu Da Garlic looked at the group of children, his expression slowly became colder, and he asked in a somewhat serious voice: "If the darts we bet on are not eight today, it means that the ransom for the children has been paid?" Can you take people away? β
Qian Xiaoqian smiled: "That's right, I didn't expect these NPCs to be abducted and sold, it's pretty awesome, hahaha!" β
His laughter echoed through the alleyway, but it was unexpectedly monotonous.
No one laughed with him.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Xiaoqian turned her head to look at Xu Da Garlic a little strangely, but bumped into the other party's cold eyes: "Playing games, wouldn't it be better if the incident was interesting?" I know it's a real game, but it's just data. β
Xu Da Garlic bit his lip and didn't make a sound.
This is a collision between two attitudes towards the game, some with affection and some with love.
Why didn't she know this?
Neither of them is wrong.
"Blame poor ......," Furry muttered, grabbing the sleeve of the rabbit's leg beside him.
"I want to get them back." Xu garlic spoke.
Qian Xiaoqian shook her head without hesitation: "That's not good, if the incident fails, I will deduct my prestige." β
Xu Da Garlic raised his eyes to look at him: "Prestige is so important? β
"Of course, otherwise how do you think you can change skills in the fleet of the dead?"
Qian Xiaoqian shrugged: "During this time, there is a random boss in the northeast of the Blood Port, I have to strengthen it, and strive to fight the first kill and write a strategy, I can't promise you, I'm sorry." β
The attitude is sincere, and the reason is self-justifying.
Xu Da Garlic couldn't speak, only felt that his chest was very tight.
"Okay, okay, tell me about the high-level NPC."
Qian Xiaoqian's tone became enthusiastic, what he always cared about was the mechanism interaction, the design of the data, and the geeky sense of studying the style of play - if Sherlock Hook is a diehard of the plot and setting, Qian Xiaoqian is the kind of person who wants to dig deep into the non-plot part.
Xu Da Garlic sighed, but did not answer his words directly, only said, "How can you be willing to release people?" β
"You're going to force a PVP with me?"
Qian Xiaoqian looked at Xu Da Garlic: "This is Crow Bay, and I have the title of the Dead Man's Fleet, as soon as the guards come, you will definitely finish the calf, besides, if you are out of the event NPC command the action like this, won't your own incident fail?" β
He raised his hand and pointed at Han Dongwen, who was dressed in white behind him.
"This kind of small task event, I suggest you do it quickly, and then wait until ...... Yes! β
Halfway through Qian Xiaoqian's speech, she suddenly shouted in pain and turned her head straight to look.
A dagger had been pierced into his arm, and the white-clad NPC had turned around and looked at him almost expressionlessly.
A line of clearly visible light appeared above the head of the white-clothed NPC in Qian Xiaoqian's field of vision, and he showed a puzzled look.
"This NPC is...... Bright blood bar? β
"Pool...... Han Yang? β
