"So these ships were made by the Son of Heaven......

Mu You raised his eyebrows, the Ghost had just been surrounded, and he had received a friend application when he turned his head, how could it be such a coincidence?

Mu You clicked to agree.

[Son of Heaven: Hello, late at night, I still look at Haihan. 】

[Captain Ghost: So, are you planning to go to war immediately?] 】

Mu You didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

[Son of Heaven: Please don't get me wrong, we actually have no malicious intentions, it's just that your ship is too fast, in order to prevent you from directly intruding into the Evil Spirit Sea, we can only search and intercept your ship in this way. 】

[Son of Heaven: As for the sea ship that attacked you just now...... Those are the pirates I hire, these people are unruly and accustomed to opening fire on your ship without permission, and I have ordered them to stop and disturb you, and I apologize to you on their behalf. 】

[Captain Ghost: So, you deliberately stopped me before entering the Evil Spirit Sea, what is the matter?] 】

[Son of Heaven: I hope that the two of us can discuss cooperation before entering the Evil Spirit Sea. 】

Mu You raised his eyebrows, is it cooperation again?

[Captain Ghost: Oh? How are you going to work together? 】

[Son of Heaven: If you don't mind, please come to the Flag of Spades on the left side of the sea boat to get together.] 】

Mu You controlled the war eagle to inspect to the left, and indeed a ship with the flag of spades broke away from the team and floated towards this side.

Mu You turned around and typed.

[Captain Ghost: Did you have any traps prepared for me on the ship?] 】

[Son of Heaven: Trap? 】

[Captain Ghost: For example, there are 800 axes hidden under the ship......]

[Son of Heaven: Hehe, you are joking, please believe in our sincerity, my purpose here is only to have an open and honest talk between the two sides, and there is no malice. 】

[Son of Heaven: Or if you don't feel at ease, we can go over to your side. 】

[Captain Ghost: No need, let's go to your side.] 】

Mu You looked at the prompt on his phone and thought secretly, the Son of Heaven invited him to meet in the past, which seemed to be a bit of a Hongmen banquet, but he was not afraid, just so he could take advantage of this to find out a little news. As for the impossibility of getting the other party over, he didn't want the layout and details of the ship to be known.

……

At this time in Europe, the headquarters of the divine right of kings.

"He agreed?" The demon asked, looking at the blonde man beside him.

"Promised." The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Then ...... Get ready to act......" Smile said this sentence, which appeared in the game text of everyone present.

Yes, at this moment, the triumvirate of the divine power of the monarch, the Son of Heaven and the Demon are on the earth, and Smile has personally gone to the Star Spirit Realm, he has some special detection abilities, and is ready to take a good look at this mysterious "Ghost Captain" from a close range to obtain information as much as possible.

"All ready, he came out, alone, in a small boat......

On the ship of spades, smiling on the deck looking at the three-masted galleon in the distance, because he is in the astral realm, he can get information earlier and in more detail than other people's game texts.

At this moment, he had seen a man jump from the ghost ship, step on a flat boat, and glide towards them at a high speed, as if flying on Edgeworth.

"Confirm it's me?" The Son of Heaven asks through the game.

"It's me, the detection technique can't see the abnormality, and the ID is indeed the ghost captain, using the skin of the Ten Commandments, but the level and attributes are hidden, and you can't see it." Said with a smile.

"It's okay, make a note of his skin." The Son of Heaven said.

Of course, he didn't expect to be able to take down the other party directly by a single meeting, but at least he had to take advantage of this opportunity to collect all the information about the other party as much as possible, and if possible, it was best to test the true level and strength of the other party.

"Alone? No one else is following?" The demon asked.

"No, he's the only one disembarking at the moment."

"How dare he come

！」 The demon looked strange and asked, "What about the woman with the scythe?"

"I don't know, it hasn't appeared yet, but there's a good chance it's hiding on that ship......" Smile said.

"Will you do it later when he gets on the boat?"

"Don't act rashly, talk about cooperation first, if cooperation can be achieved, it will be the best." The Son of Heaven said.

He only said half of this, and the rest of the meaning was understood by others: if the other party refuses to cooperate, it will definitely be done!

Moments later, the boat approached, smiling as an observer, watching the man with the ghost captain ID above him onto the deck of the ship, and then walked into the main cabin with a crew member.

At this moment, more than a dozen people had gathered in this cabin, and among them was a square table for meetings, and the Son of Heaven and the demon had already sat down at the other end of the square table.

[Son of Heaven: Please take a seat, Mr. Captain Ghost, please rest assured, this place is absolutely safe. The Son of Heaven took the initiative to get up and welcome.

[Demon: In addition, the balls on this table are lie detector beads, don't get me wrong, there is no other meaning, just to ensure that all the conversations in the meeting are real and effective, so as not to waste their time. The demon on the side explained the function of the crystal ball in the center of the square table.

[Captain Ghost: Yes.] 】

After the text prompted all three of them to sit down at the table, and the others took their respective seats, the Son of Heaven continued to speak.

[Son of Heaven: I want to confirm first that Fragment Five of Dawn City is indeed in your hands, right? This is the basis of their negotiations today, and if the other side does not have fragment five, there is no point in cooperation.

[Captain Ghost: Before I answer, I have a question for you. 】

[Son of Heaven: Please speak. 】

[Captain Ghost: The first and ninth of the Fragments of Dawn City are in your hands, aren't they?] 】

In the headquarters of the divine power of the monarch, the Son of Heaven and the demon glanced at each other.

"How did he know?" The demon frowned.

The Son of Heaven shook his head and typed in the game.

Son of Heaven: Yes. 】

[Captain Ghost: Then my answer is the same as yours, Fragment Five is indeed in my hands.] 】

[Son of Heaven: That's good, let's talk about cooperation in earnest. 】

[Captain Ghost: How are you going to work together?] 】

[Son of Heaven: One thing I need to explain first, in fact, we were contacted by another group of people yesterday, and they are the forces that have the most fragments of Dawn City besides our two families......]

The Son of Heaven typed and explained that the day before yesterday, a group of players claiming to be pirate forces approached him and wanted to talk to him about cooperation and exchange fragments or something, but they didn't agree, but they didn't explicitly refuse.

At this time, it was deliberately proposed because this was an important bargaining chip, which could make the other party understand that it was not them begging for cooperation now, and if the other party did not agree, they could completely find other forces to cooperate.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the next reply from Captain Ghost instantly disrupted his plan.

[Captain Ghost: Oh, that guy Jack has already contacted you......]

"Uh-huh???

The moment Mu You said this, the smile on the boat, as well as the Son of Heaven and the demon on this side of the earth, all frowned.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't that Jack assure the lie bead that he hadn't had anything to do with Captain Ghost and his men......" Smile stood outside the cabin, sounding the two of them through a teleportation device.

"Sure enough, that guy was lying to us!" The demon was furious.

"Let's check if it's a ......."

The Son of Heaven frowned and shook his head, typing in the game.

[Son of Heaven: Jack? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes, Edward Jack.] 】

The other party's answer confirmed that it was indeed the same person.

Looking at the polygraph beads that lit up without any hint, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to continue typing.

[Son of Heaven: I take the liberty of asking, what is the relationship between you and Edward Jack? 】

[Captain Ghost: Partners, of course.] 】

[Son of Heaven: You mean, you are also currently cooperating? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes.] 】

[The voice fell, the lie detector bead did not respond, you said the truth.] 】

Looking at the text in the game, Mu You smiled.

Jack hadn't come to him for so long, most likely because he had already found a third collaborator and didn't need him anymore.

But who let the other party not explicitly refuse, at least for now, the final agreement between the two in the game is still "each to find a new shard owner, and then get together to discuss", so strictly speaking, the two are still cooperating, and his words are certainly not a lie.

He knew exactly what was going on in his heart, but when these words fell into the ears of the other party, the meaning was completely different, especially since he was wearing the vest of "Captain Ghost" now.

"Jack uniting with an ordinary shard owner" and "Jack uniting with Captain Ghost" represent completely different weights, which are heavy enough to cause serious miscalculations on the side of the Son of Heaven on the other side.

[The two of them have actually united, no wonder Captain Ghost knows that one and nine are in our hands......] smiled and discussed with the two.

"I said a long time ago that those sea monkeys are really not trustworthy, these two are simply a group!" The demon slapped the table and said angrily.

"Not necessarily." The Son of Heaven shook his head: "If they were really completely united, Captain Ghost wouldn't have asked the question of One and Nine just now, because that should be a definite answer to him, and if he asked, it means that he is not completely sure, Jack's side, at least one fragment has the number he doesn't know."

"Jack said at the time that he had gathered four shards, and we have four on our side, so this man only has one shard five? Or is Jack lying again?" The demon's brow furrowed.

"Let's ask again......

Tianzi thought for a moment and continued to type.

[Son of Heaven: Excuse me, do you only have a fragment of Dawn City in your hand? 】

[Captain Ghost: Of course not.] 】

The lie detector beads are as quiet as ever, and they are the truth!

"He's got other pieces in his hand!"

"Sure enough, that guy Jack must have mastered the way to avoid the lie detector beads!" The devil said.

"But it's also possible that Captain Ghost has mastered the means of lying......" Smile analyzed another possibility.

"I feel that Jack is more problematic, after all, the lie detector beads and the venue were provided by the other party at that time, who knows if he did anything or not, and now the lie detector beads are on our side, we can make sure that there is no problem, and the place is also prepared by us, and the possibility of Captain Ghost doing things is very small......," the demon said.

"Well, whoever is lying, the two have already met and talked about uniting, there's no doubt about that!"

The Son of Heaven stopped the argument between the two and frowned, "Now, let's consider the worst-case scenario, assuming that the fragments of the two families have already communicated with each other, they each have the specific patterns of the five fragments, and they only need to obtain one more entrance fragment from us, and they can enter the city at any time!"

"So what now?" The demon asked.

The Son of Heaven groaned for a few seconds and continued back to the game.

[Son of Heaven: Mr. Captain Ghost, please believe us, we have not reached any agreement with Jack, and we will not cooperate with him in the future, and please sever your cooperation with the other party, this rogue is born and has a lot of ambitions, and the idea is to let the two of us fight, so that he can profit from it. 】

[Captain Ghost: What do you mean?] 】

[Son of Heaven: Let's unite! Let's sign a contract, each provide the pieces we have, put the map together, and work together to take Auroville. 】

[Son of Heaven: I fully believe in your strength, and even more in the strength of our divine power, if we can unite, absolutely no other forces are our opponents, so that we can take Dawn City lightly without any risk! 】

[Captain Ghost: That's right!] It coincides with my thoughts. 】

[Captain Ghost: So after the city is taken, who will be the lord of the city?] 】

[Son of Heaven: I mean, take turns. 】

[Son of Heaven: It is limited to one month, one party serves as the city lord for one month, and the other party changes in the second month, and so on, and the contract can state that during the period of serving as the city lord, our two families shall not trap and attack each other. 】

[Captain Ghost: But the mission statement mentions that "the castle chief will be for one year", and you're not sure if the castle lord can be replaced at will during this year without dying, right?] 】

[Son of Heaven: Yes, I'm not sure, if the lord of the city has to serve for a full year, then how about taking turns in a one-year cycle? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes...... So I'll be the first lord of the city, after all, I'll hold the most important Shard Five. 】

[Smile: Wait a minute, God, this isn't appropriate, is it?] 】

The smile couldn't be heard outside, and hurriedly interjected.

[Captain Ghost: Why is it inappropriate?] 】

[Smile: First of all, where does the conclusion that "Fragment 5 is the most important" come from? In my opinion, the importance of the three fragments of "159" is equal, we have provided two valid fragments, and you only have one on your side, and there are more invalid fragments on our side, so the first city lord should be the one to serve as the first lord anyway......]

[Smile: Of course, we also know that the value of the first city lord is higher than that of the subsequent years, so as compensation, you will be the city lord for the second and third years, how about it?] If you are not satisfied, we can also provide some material compensation, which is our greatest sincerity! 】

[Captain Ghost: If you want to say that, my sincerity is even more sufficient, I will only be the city lord in the first year, and you will be the city lord for the next ten years, how about it?] 】

[Smile: Ah, this ......]

There was a sudden silence at the conference table, and it was clear that neither side had any intention of giving up the right to be the lord of the city for the first year, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

It was only after half a ring that the Son of Heaven spoke again.

[Son of Heaven: Then what do you think is a more appropriate distribution method? 】

[Captain Ghost: The distribution method is simple, let's draw lots directly. 】

[Son of Heaven: Catch ...... Lots? 】

[Captain Ghost: It's the roll point!] This feature is available in the game's options after the open beta, right? Enter the roll+ number range to get a random number, and the number will not be affected by any luck and magic effects, ensuring that it is absolutely true and valid. 】

[Captain Ghost: Since no one is willing to sacrifice the bonus period of the first year, let fate decide!] 】

[Captain Ghost: Of course, as compensation for your possession of more fragments, the three of you can roll one number each, and I will only roll one number alone, and whoever has the largest number in the end will be the lord of the city, how about it?] 】

[Son of Heaven: This ......]

[Captain Ghost: I think I've made a big concession, the three of you have one against me, you have a three-quarters probability of taking the city lord, so you don't dare to agree, what is your so-called sincerity?] 】

In the castle of Europe, the demon looked at the frowning blonde youth beside him, "Why, don't you agree? I think it's a good bet!"

Under normal circumstances, they would compete with two Legendary-level masters, and they would also have to face Jack, a third-party force with unknown intentions, and there was only half a chance that they would be able to take Dawn City when they were full.

And at this time, agreeing to the other party's conditions, but there is a 75% probability of getting the city lord, and you can avoid the trouble of standing on the opposite side with the two super masters, no matter how it is calculated, it is worth it.

"Son of Heaven, are you worried that the other party has the means to affect the result of the roll?" At this time, the smile was transmitted.

"No......" the demon was surprised.

Of course, there have been various posts on the forum before, and the conclusion is that this point is indeed not affected by any factors, at least at least there is no ability to affect the results of the roll point.

The Son of Heaven shook his head and sighed, "Get ready to do it."

Suspicion of the roll point result is only one aspect, more importantly, his own character, simply accepted

It's not the kind of thing to bet the future on a random probability.

Looking at it now, the other party's purpose is the same as his, they are all determined to compete for the first-year city lord, since this is the case, cooperation is impossible to achieve, there is only one battle!

The demon and the smile were slightly surprised when they heard this, but they didn't say anything more and immediately prepared for battle.

Since the cooperation has been declared a failure, then the next step is to take advantage of the current good opportunity to kill the other party once, as long as you can successfully kill, you can get the other party's level and attributes, so as to see the other party's virtual reality, at least to confirm whether the other party is a legendary level strength.

At this point, no one spoke in the game for two minutes.

The Son of Heaven is secretly gathering his men and preparing to besiege them, but just as they are about to make a move, a smiling prompt suddenly comes from the game.

[Smile: Wait, something is wrong!] The sea is foggy! 】

[Son of Heaven: Fog? Where? 】

[Smile: Just near the opponent's ship, a white mist suddenly shrouded the opponent's ship.] 】

The Son of Heaven looked at the text in the game, realized something, and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, do it immediately!"

"And let those hired pirate ships open fire and sink their ships!"

Now that you have decided to turn your face, you can't keep your hand, it is unrealistic to completely kill the opponent here, but at least destroy the opponent's ship, thereby greatly weakening the opponent's competitiveness in the ocean.

At the sound of an order, more than ten people in the entire cabin of the Spades moved in unison.

At the same time, on the sea outside, the surrounding pirate ships roared, and the cannons of various magical powers and goblin technology shot out, blasting straight towards the misty area in the center.

Inside the cabin, Smile, as the only person present whose body was in the Otherworld, was the main force in this battle, and attacked Captain Ghost with the most fierce attack.

In order to test the strength of the ghost captain, he is ready to be killed by the other party and sacrificed once or even many times.

But what he didn't expect was that this blow easily hit the target, and the blade that shone with fire easily penetrated the back of the black-robed man in front of him and leaked through his chest.

In the next moment, the attacks of the others followed, and the light and shadow of magic instantly engulfed the figure of the black-robed man.

"No, it's just a clone!"

Looking at the figure in his hand that turned into wood chips in the blink of an eye, he reported the news with a smile and a dark face.

"Doppelganger? Aren't you sure he's the essence?"

"Who knows, this doppelganger is too high-grade, at least at the level of forbidden spells, enough to hide my exploration technique with a fake and true......" The smile was a little embarrassed, but now was not the time to dwell on this.

If the other side is only a clone, it means that the other party's body is most likely still on the ghost ship, and the fog is obviously made by the other party, that is, this person has already guessed that they will sneak attack, so he will definitely respond in advance.

Now the two sides have torn their faces, and the wave of outbursts that they have been accumulating for a long time has hit the cotton, and next, it is very likely that it will be their turn to meet each other's fierce counterattack!

"The fog spreads ......"

Smiling onto the deck, looking worriedly at the sea ahead.

The white mist increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, tumbling and rushing like a sea of clouds, rushing from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped all the ships in the nearby sea.

"Squeak......

Just as Smile pondered where the other party's counterattack would begin, a series of low chirps rang out abruptly from the bottom of the boat.

"Thunder?"

Smiling and moving, trying to distinguish.

The sound of the chirp increased rapidly, as if it were a symphony of crackling sounds made by countless tiny arcs mixed together.

In the next second, he saw an arc more than ten meters long rising from the bottom of the sea into the sky, like a dazzling laser sword, cutting towards the side of the ship he was on.

"The other party is hiding at the bottom of the sea!!"

Smile saw his eyelids jump, and hurriedly warned everyone.

It's still too late, though

The arc speed is not fast, but the size of the sea ship is too large, and there is no room to dodge.

Amid the noisy whisper of the thunder arc, everyone could only watch as the arc beam cut through the middle of the hull until it split the entire ship in two.
