"On which ship did you serve?" I asked.

"I'm a freelancer now." He said.

The bearded man glanced at me when he heard this.

"What did you just say that the South Sea pirates are an unorganized organization?"

"The pirates of the South Seas are just a name, they are not an organization, they are not a group of people at all, although in some special situation they can join forces to do one thing, but this is only in theory, they have never been united by something." He took a sip of his wine.

"Are there a lot of them?"

"I don't know, but there must be a lot of them." He said.

"Have you lived with them?" The bearded man asked.

"Yes, we're all short-term hires." He said.

"I thought I'd follow them forever if I boarded their ship."

"Of course not, they don't necessarily have to do that kind of murderous thing." He grinned at me, "They can smuggle too, and even do some legal business occasionally." ”

He took a sip of wine and shook his fingers, "It's just that those legal deals don't make money." ”

"How can it not be profitable." I say.

"For them, if it's less than 40 percent, it's not profitable."

The bartender raised an eyebrow when he heard this, and snorted softly. "Forty percent profit, that's really not high."

"Forty percent of this is the captain's own income, why do you think?" The bearded man added. "And it's not profit, it's gain."

"This guy seems to know a little." He exaggerated his beard but didn't look at him properly.

"Gains? So how do you guarantee that you will earn? I asked, confused.

"They never make a loss-making transaction, and of course, if they do a loss-making transaction, it means that the gang will break up." He said.

"It's death." The bearded man added.

"And who is the most famous of the pirates of the South China Sea?" I asked.

"The most ......famous," he said, rolling his eyelids, "there are a few." He said and glanced at the bearded man, who also glanced at him, "South China Sea Calamity." ”

The bearded man nodded, "Innis, it's him." ”

The bartender chimed in: "Yes, Captain Terror. ”

"Is he powerful?"

"It's already a well-known figure among the pirates of the South China Sea." The bartender continued.

"Is this kind of person wanted?" I asked.

"Wanted! Of course, they are wanted, but they are only their status tags, and the higher the wanted bounty, the greater their status and appeal. The bearded man said.

"There's another guy named Baron Langsauer, who has recently risen to the rookie, and it's said that this guy was originally from Coultirtiras." The guy said. "And a bunch of pirate captains."

"It's true that pirates in the South China Sea haven't been seen much lately...... I haven't heard from them in a few days. The bartender said.

The bearded man nodded, and the ugly man next to him laughed, "This is not a good situation. He smiled and pushed his glass in front of the bartender, "One more glass." ”

The bartender smiled and looked at me, and I raised my head, "Add wine." ”

The wrinkles on that guy's face instantly dispersed, but it was better not to spread out the face that was still full of ravines. "You're such a nice guy!" He smiled and nodded at me in thanks.

The bearded man's face didn't change much, but the look of contempt he swept showed his attitude.

"These guys won't disappear at the same time, if you're not there, I'm coming, I'm done robbing, you come again. The order in which they plundered at sea in general was quite fair. But this simultaneous disappearance is not right. ”

The bartender was fine by this time, and he was lying on the bar.

"Something must have happened to them, just said they we...... What did we do together? ”

"What's the matter?" The bartender asked.

"Just drink and eat less in your mouth." The guy's eyes didn't look at me or the bartender, but reached behind the bar.

The bartender frowned, and reached out to bring a small plate of sour plums to the table, and there were five sour plums in the small plate. The guy's stinky face was even more distorted, and he was about to open his mouth when the bartender blocked him. "That's it, I don't like to eat it." As he spoke, he reached out and brought it back.

"Oops...... the guy reached out and grabbed the small saucer and pulled it next to him. Enough is enough! He laughed, looking like a scoundrel.

"Say it." The bartender said.

"Now the pirates are not only the pirates of the South Sea, but there is another force in the south and the south further south." He said.

"What the hell is it talking about, what the south is further south and the ...... is further south" the bartender felt as if he had been pitted.

"Listen to me...... This was the last time I followed Baron's fleet from Zuldere to Minehir Harbour when I spotted some unfamiliar sailing ships. Those sailboats were fast, and they were about as fast as we were downwind when the wind was headwind! "It's unimaginable." ”

"What does it matter?"

"If you have this kind of ship, even in the face of the Kurtilas Navy, you can completely compete with them." He said.

"Whose ship is that? How come you've never heard of it? The bearded man said.

"How do I know whose ship it is, it's so far away, we're downwind, they're upwind, it's impossible for us to turn around and catch up with them."

"And this kind of thing? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it? The bearded man didn't believe it.

"Really, but it's just a ship, and it's not big, we thought it was magic." He said.

"And then?" The bearded man asked.

"The ship suddenly ...... Sink into the sea! He described, his eyes wide. It's like diving headlong into the water! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel goosebumps on my body. "When?" I asked.

"It's probably going to be more than a month!" He looked at me and said, "It's not that far from the port of Minasil. As he spoke, he shook his head, a slurping sound coming out of his mouth.

"Bragging rights, you!" The bearded man didn't believe it.

"Hey! Believe it or not! The guy pouted and retorted.

"Was there any vision at that time?" I asked.

"It was early afternoon, and we were supposed to anchor in the evening in Minethil Harbour, and the weather was pretty good, and I remember clearly that the boat was headwind, but it was almost ......," he said, looking at the bartender.

"Isn't it scary?" I say.

"Hah, what layman's are you talking about? You're a seafarer too, right? The man looked at me.

"I'm not, I'm coming with the ship." I say.

"Then you don't know how fast that is! You can't realize it, in short, soon! Speed I've never seen before! He gestured to explain.

"Just gone?"

"It's a headlong dive into the water!" He demonstrated with his hands. "It's arching into the sea!"

"And then? Are there any sea monsters or anything like that? ”

"Not really." He said.

"What does this have to do with the disappearance of the pirates?" I snorted.

"Listen to me......" he said, pulling back the small plate in front of him. It is said that a large number of pirates are now present in the vicinity of the Kingdom of Stormwind. ”

My ears pricked up when I heard the word, "And this is the case?" ”

"It's only recently, in fact, this matter has no effect on us for the time being, but the pirates work on the sea and eat on the sea, and they shouldn't sit idly by when a competitor suddenly appears." He said.

"What competitor?"

"Some of the pirates over there are humans, the original group of Kul Tiras, but the leader of that group of pirates is not the Kul Tiras."

"Stormwind Kingdom's?" The bartender interjected with a glance at me.

"No, no, no, it's said that they are not human! Not human! He lowered his voice.

"Hah...... Ha ha! The bearded man laughed. Are you a guy who can't be deceived by alcohol and starts talking nonsense? ”

"I'm not talking nonsense!" The guy retorted with a stiff neck.

"Those are green-skinned, pointy ears, long noses, short, fanged monsters, right?" I say.

The guy looked at me with wide eyes when he heard me, "Yes! That's what you say! ”

The bearded man and the bartender looked at me.

"You know them?" The guy looked at me curiously.

"I don't know, but I feel like they're the ones who can do this at sea to the south and further south." I say.

"Who is that?" Now it's their turn to ask me.

"They are not people, they are ...... A creature that resembles orcs but is much smaller than orcs, disgusting. I said.

"Orcs are not...... Defeated? The bartender asked curiously.

"Basically, but you northern ...... some time ago Didn't a large number of orcs flee in Dunhold? I looked at the bartender and swept my gaze back to the bearded man.

"Those creatures used to wage war with the orcs." I say.

"I'm talking about them, and they've now formed a maritime military force." The ugly man quickly chimed in.

"You're saying the South Sea pirates went south to fight them?" The bartender said.

"I didn't say it, I just thought it was weird, but there's no better reason than that." He said.

"Hey! It's your own guess after talking for a long time! The bartender reached for a small plate of sour plums. The guy instinctively tried to block it, but the bartender grabbed the small plate and shook the sour plum on the table.

"And ......," the guy quickly took his arm to protect the sour plum that rolled onto the countertop.

"Don't you ...... Ay...... You...... Listen to me...... In the Stormwind Kingdom, there has been a recent wave of pirates. He tried desperately to regain the initiative to speak.

I grabbed him by the shoulder, "What's their name?" ”

The guy looked up at me in surprise, "Defiya! ”
