Chapter Twenty-Four: Captain Jones (nearly 7,000 words in a single chapter)

"Life is love,

I or you, are one.

Life is an expectation,

I am me and you are you.

Life is the future,

What are you?

What am I?"

Vaguely, Yorkham Jones heard a familiar singing, accompanied by a warmth, as if he had returned to his mother's arms, as if he had suddenly returned to the future, and everything he had crossed was just a dream.

But Yorkham Jones knew that he had no mother, let alone a family, and if there was, then the mother was also the 'Lord', and the family was the whole human race.

The singing voice is not Vivian's voice, which is a little hoarse and gentle.

The soft voice sang over and over again, and Yorkham Jones finally opened his eyes, and looked up, a colorful giant star hung horizontally in front of him, and in the shadow of the giant star, a black giant star hung upside down, and between the two giant stars, there was an illusory planet of different colors.

It's the real world, the inner world, and the land of the void...

Where am I?

With doubts, Yorkham Jones turned his head to look around, all he could see was the white ocean, and at this moment, he was completely in the moonlight ocean.

In the center of the Moon Sea, there are also several towering inverted triangle golden towers.

Looking at the picture outlined in his eyes, Yorkham Jones' eyes widened.

Moon?

I'm on the moon?

When Yorkham Jones exclaimed, a woman appeared on the moon sea, squatting on a small crescent moon, draped in a moon veil, and a flower painted with a black shading grew on the moon veil.

The girl is beautiful, and if Dale is the most beautiful woman, then the girl is completely unearthly, and her beauty is like a god described in various legends, or a fairy.

Who is she?

As soon as Yorkham Jones asked the first question in his heart, the girl walked straight in front of him, and she came with the moonlight, as if suddenly descending from the distant starry sky.

"What did he tell you?"

The girl asked the first question, and her voice was full of sorrow and sorrow, as if to say, 'It doesn't matter anymore, whether you're alive or dead...'

At this moment, Yorkham Jones knew who she was.

Daughter of King Dawa, Princess of the Great Human Empire, Flower of Dawa, Daughter of the Moon, Spirit of the Dead Star...

The girl has countless names, but most importantly, she is a 'stowaway of fate' and, like Yorkham Jones, a 'knight' of pawns.

Her name is Luna, an elegant and nice name.

Yorkham Jones wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to call the existence in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he touched his head and shouted:

"Senior..."

Hearing the term 'senior', Luna was in a trance, although she still sang the same song as before, but she hadn't remembered the future for a long time, because she had already abandoned her identity as a 'knight', because she had already chosen the name 'Luna'.

"I'm just a traitor," Luna mourned, shaking her head.

"Then senior, why did you choose to betray?" asked Yorkham Jones again.

"Reason..."

Luna muttered into silence, her memory seemed to go back in time, and after a while, as a touch of moonlight turned into a beautiful moonlight butterfly around her, she spoke:

"I have something I want to protect more than the world and humans..."

"But if the world and humanity disappear, so will everything that wants to be protected... And he, the one you want to protect, will disappear as well," Jokham Jones replied softly.

"But I remembered him, I remembered him the way I did... My father, my favorite father, gave me home and warm people, gave me people I love..."

Luna appeared to be a little agitated, and her tone was like a little girl defending herself, and after a long speech, she suddenly fell silent and shed many tears.

Soon, her tears are kissed away by the moonlight butterfly, and it seems that the whole moon will soothe her while Luna cries.

Looking at the tear stains on the girl's face, Yorkham Jones suddenly trembled in his heart, and replied with a lament:

"He said, he didn't succeed, he didn't work, he was wrong, he broke his promise, he didn't build the ideal empire that you expected, he wants to say sorry to you. ”

"Abba did his best, he did everything he could, he sacrificed everything, including his own life, he sacrificed everything but me, but his fate still didn't change..."

"It's me who is sorry for him... Without me, he would have become a great emperor remembered by history, but because of me, he became a sinner, a mad god who destroyed the world..."

Luna muttered, tears welling up again.

"Senior..."

Watching Luna, who is also a 'knight', cry bitterly, Yorkham Jones's heart also hurts, he has never experienced the story of the Third Age, and he does not know what happened to Luna and King Dawa in that fate....

But Yorkham Jones still feels pain, because from this story, he seems to see his future self, gave everything, but in the end he still failed, he did not save the world, did not save mankind, and did not protect his cherished family...

"I'm fine... What else did he say?" asked Luna as she gently wiped tears from her eyes and gave an ugly smile.

Yorkham Jones didn't answer immediately, his memory went back to that night, and he thought about it countless times before he incorporated all the emotions and thoughts of King Dawa into his tone:

"My Luna, it's time to rest..."

"Dad... I miss you so much, Luna misses you so much...", Luna muttered like a little girl and threw herself into Yorkham Jones' arms.

In a trance, in Luna's eyes, Yorkham Jones became King Dawa.

Being suddenly hugged by Luna, Yorkham Jones was stunned, listening to the crying voice of 'Daddy', he seemed to see the future of Jingqing.

Yorkham Jones suddenly felt that he was very selfish, because it was very likely that one day in the future, Jingqing would become Luna.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Yorkham Jones gently touched Luna's head, and said in a low voice, as if talking to Jingqing:

"Luna... You don't need to carry anything, it's time for you to rest, the story of the future will be written by the heirs, and you just need to sleep quietly..."

Luna didn't answer, she hugged Yorkham Jones tightly, like a daughter asking her father for warmth, and it took three minutes before she let go.

Then, Luna stared into Jokham Jones' eyes:

"Thank you, Mr. Knight. ”

"Madam Knight, I should thank you too, it was you who kept the opportunity, although you did not succeed, but this time the chance is greater. Yorkham Jones replied with a soft smile.

"What if it doesn't work out this time?" Luna asked, smiling, as she sat down gently on her tiny moon.

"It's always going to work. Without thinking, Yorkham Jones gave the answer directly.

"It's always going to work..."

Luna muttered repeatedly, smiling again, and looked at Yorkham Jones:

"Mr. Knight, if you have a chance to visit the moon, maybe I can give you a gift..."

Brushing the emanation next to her ear, Luna added:

"Hmm... It is a gift from a senior to a junior. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Yorkham Jones wondered, the moon sea disappeared in an instant, and immediately after, he opened his eyes and woke up.

He got up sharply and pushed open the window, but there was no moon in sight, only a thick white fog, and a light rain fell in the sky.

Looking down at his watch, and seeing that it was only 4:30, Yorkham Jones muttered:

"What does this 'senior' want to give me, could it be a trap?"

"However, judging by the emotions he revealed, it seems to be true..."

"In this case, I may have a demigod to protect me, and a very powerful star spirit demigod..."

"And, according to what I have just seen, it seems that after the complete fall of King Dawa, the moon has been inherited by him. ”

"Therefore, he should be a lot stronger, maybe now he is the most powerful demigod except for Her Excellency the 'Holy Maiden of Light'..."

As Yorkham Jones muttered, the little cutie Ching who was lying next to him suddenly rolled over, put her little feet across his thighs, and said in her dreams:

"Jones!

Looking at the little cutie's frowning brow, Yorkham Jones immediately remembered Luna's state, so he lowered his head and kissed the little cutie's face:

"Derpy, I won't let you become like Luna's predecessors, and I'll definitely protect you. ”

With that, Yorkham Jones got up and walked out the door.

Glancing at Marcus lying on the couch, Yorkham Jones walked over and patted him on the shoulder:

"Marcus, pack your things and go. ”

As he spoke, Yorkham Jones shook his head at his shadow again:

"Wei'er, aren't you sleeping?"

"I can draw energy from other people without having to sleep. In the shadow of Yorkham Jones, a petite and cute figure immediately jumped out.

"Go and get your host to pick us up, we'll be to the port soon. Yorkham Jones patted his head and shook his head, indicating a headache.

"Yes, my captain!" the little succubus Vile saluted, and then nibbled twice at the shadow of Yorkham Jones before leaving.

Marcus on the side turned over and stood up, rubbed the black circle and looked at the time, and immediately lay down again:

"Mr. Jones, it's not even 5 o'clock, why do you wake up so early, don't we have to go to the Bounty Hunters Hall at 8 o'clock in the morning?"

"We're pirates!

Yorkham Jones immediately glared at him and said:

"What's more, untrustworthiness is the mark of a pirate! So, why should we go!"

"That's the 'Sage', is it really okay not to go?" Marcus rolled over again, and stared at Yorkham Jones as if he had met this Mr. Jones for the first time.

"It's okay, as long as he gets to the sea, he won't be able to find us! What's more, he still has to guard Whale Harbor, where such a big accident has just happened, he can't be separated at all. ”

With that, Yorkham Jones went into the bedroom and gathered up his salute.

After about 10 minutes, after packing up his things and looking at the harbor shrouded in white fog from the window, Yorkham Jones couldn't help muttering:

"It's a loss, I rented it for a month, but now I haven't finished living in it for a week... I don't know if I can check out the rent..."

At this moment, there was a long sound in the distance, and Yorkham Jones lifted his bag and acoustic guitar and shook his head:

"Forget it, the sea view is quite comfortable these days..."

Walking out the door and throwing the bag to Marcus, Yorkham Jones went to Jingqing's bedroom to help Jingqing put on his coat, and then walked out of the door with the sleeping little cutie and Yumi.

Opening their umbrellas, Yorkham Jones and Marcus quietly stepped into the fog.

...

At eight o'clock in the morning, in the bounty hunter hall, the sage of the 'sailor' sequence was slowly drinking morning tea.

On the side, the saints of the 'prayer speaker' sequence are closing their eyes and recuperating.

After a few sips, the Sage of the 'Sailor' sequence immediately opened his mouth and asked:

"Where's your little priest?

"Why run away? If he doesn't come, he won't come, that's all. ”

The sage of the 'Prayer Speaker' sequence doesn't seem to care if Yorkham Jones will come, he seems to care more about whether the younger generations of his church will be persecuted.

As for what happened last night, he has already reported it, and he has received a clear answer, there is only one order from above: 'Continue to guard Whale Harbor, and the Holy Angel will come to solve it.'" ’

The Holy One who can bother with the matter of the 'Holy Angel' number, the 'Prayer One' sequence, naturally knows that this matter is not something he can meddle in.

At this time, sparks suddenly flew from the sea fog in the distance, and the target of the Mars was the bounty hall.

The 'Sailor' sequence sage squinted his eyes slightly, put down the teacup, and the figure flashed, and appeared directly in the air, and raised his fist with thunder and lightning towards the flying sparks.

"Bang!

A loud bang fell, the white mist was blown apart, and the Sage of the 'Sailor' series returned to the bounty hall unharmed, and at the same time, he had an extra banner of the 'Storm Rose Pirates' in his hand.

"Grandma's! Mark, hang this flag for Lao Tzu!"

"Chief, Mark wrote a letter of resignation, saying that he had gone to be a pirate. At the counter, a young girl replied and handed the letter to the Sage of the 'Sailor' sequence.

"I suddenly had a dream, so I'm going to check it out!"

"The pirates of the future, Mark. ”

Looking at the two phrases on the letter, the Sage of the 'Sailor' sequence immediately rubbed his little face with his hand and directly threw the pirate flag of the 'Wind and Rain Rose' over:

"Hang it up for Lao Tzu and offer a reward of 5W Wall!"

"Chief, this is a 'colonel' level bounty, do you really want to hang it up to this pirate group?"

"Hang it!

"Hadir, your appearance, it's really funny to say that Lao Tzu is really funny. The 'Prayer Speaker' Sequence Saint shook his head, already sure that Yorkham Jones was gone, so he himself was ready to leave.

'Sailor' Hadir immediately glared angrily:

"Kod! Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu! That little priest of yours, Lao Tzu will definitely arrest him back!"

The 'Praker' Cord did not reply, but shook his head, and vanished in a golden light.

Then, 'Mariner' Hadir shook his head and walked towards the inner chamber as well.

"Chief, aren't you waiting?" asked the young girl who handed over the document earlier.

"Wait for the ball, that kid must have run into the sea a long time ago!"

With a loud shout, Hadir muttered in a low voice:

"Last night's Ruined Manor also had this flag... Little priest, what's wrong, I want to be a pirate, and when Lao Tzu has free time, he personally went to receive the 5W bounty. ”

...

More than a dozen kilometers away from Whale Harbor, the members of the 'Storm Rose' pirate group were grabbing their binoculars, and as the shells they had fired earlier suddenly went out, Yorkham Jones said:

"This rocket launcher is not very useful, we have to hurry up and make money, and then we will go to the Confederation of Walderson and load the latest long-range missiles. ”

"Captain, others are 'sages', and the myth that you can resist nuclear bombs with your body exists, so even if you buy a hundred pairs of long-range missiles, it's useless. "'Lieutenant Colonel Rose' immediately sighed and shook his head.

"Captain, won't Lord Hadir chase after you?" asked Mark, who was beside him, taking two puffs of hookah.

"He's our arch-nemesis! he's a bounty hunter, we're pirates!"

"But captain, you seem to have a bounty hunter's license, too. Mark twitched, the wrinkles on his face twitched a few times, and he suddenly felt that his decision was not very reliable.

"Isn't it all for you!"

Yorkham Jones immediately shouted, and when everyone was puzzled, he added:

"You think, if I'm a bounty hunter, I can't rob the pirates' property and exchange their heads for bounties, so I can pay you double wages!"

"Captain Jones, but you're already wanted, how do you get to the bounty hall?" asked Hasson, who was bare-armed, at first.

"Good question!"

Yorkham Jones nodded, and added:

"So, we also need a crew member, who must be a bounty hunter and not participate in every battle, and then the pirates we kill will have him collect the bounty!"

"In this way, he will be very famous, and he will be topped by countless pirates, and from then on there will be a steady stream of pirates rushing to us!

"Besides, I've got a choice for this man, and it's Patton! Didn't he still drink the other day?

"After drinking that day, he heard the news of the 'rubber man', and then he went straight to sea. Peel, dressed in a suit, replied softly.

At this moment, 'Lieutenant Colonel Rose' suddenly waved his hand and asked in a very exaggerated tone:

"Oh, my great Captain Jones, don't you think your plan is too dangerous?"

"How dangerous, isn't it just that you will be pursued by pirates and bounty hunters at the same time!, which of the mighty pirate generals, including the Four Emperors of the Sea, is not like this!" Yorkham Jones immediately replied loudly.

"Captain, but we are not generals, let alone the bottom of the ocean, please recognize the reality, we are just 'lieutenant colonels'..."Lieutenant Colonel Rose replied covering his face.

"What are you afraid of, sooner or later we will become 'generals'! No! It's the Fifth Emperor of the Sea! I've thought of the name, so I'll call it 'Emperor of Destiny'!"

Yorkham Jones let out a loud shout, and his mind was already imagining the day when he would become the Fifth Emperor of the Seas, when countless people would cheer and shout 'Great Emperor of Destiny, Great Captain Jones.' ’

Soon, Marcus interrupted his fantasies:

"Captain Jones, is it too late for me to quit now?"

"Yes, yes, I want to ask too. Old man Mark also put down the hookah, and looked like he was about to get off the boat.

"Don't you believe me, I'm your captain!"

Yorkham Jones asked, and then stared at each other, and then saw 'Lieutenant Colonel Rose', Marcus, Mark, Hansen, and Peel nodding vigorously in turn.

At this moment, the little succubus ran out of the shadow of Yorkham Jones and shouted:

"Captain Jones! I believe in you! You will become the greatest emperor of the seas!"

"Forget it!"

Looking at the little succubus with a shy look of begging for a reward, Yorkham Jones immediately glared, and looked at Jingqing, who had been standing at the bow of the boat, and didn't know what she was looking at.

At this time, the little cutie Jingjing suddenly turned around and shouted:

"Jones!

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking, the sound of divine prayer came from a distance, and along with the prayer, there was also a golden angel statue, which spread its wings and radiated light, and came straight through the fog.

After a few seconds, the angel's light shone through the mist, and the huge golden sea ship was reflected in a corner, and then, countless angels flew out.

After a few glances, remembering the rumors in the sea, the 'Lieutenant Colonel Rose' hurriedly looked at Yorkham Jones, and shouted at the same time:

"Captain! It's a holy angel!"

"Run, what are you waiting for!"

Yorkham Jones immediately yelled and looked at Marcus:

"Control the direction of the wind, southeast, open the full sails..."

As he spoke, the 'Holy Angel' was getting closer and closer, and Yorkham Jones hurriedly looked at 'Lieutenant Colonel Rose' and changed his words:

"Forget it! stop using wind energy, just start the backup energy and dive!"

No sooner had Yorkham Jones finished speaking, layers of silver steel were erected in the deck of the Storm Rose, and masts and various protruding structures were sunk into the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, a medieval white sailing ship was directly transformed into a modern mechanical submarine, and quickly dived towards the deep sea.

...

On the 'Holy Angel', a woman dressed as a nun was standing at the bow of the ship, her eyes had been staring at the 'Storm Rose', and when she saw the 'Storm Rose' turn into a submarine sinking, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly:

"Yes, although the kinetic energy is more primitive, the hull materials are very willing to spend money, and they can actually dive to the 'second' ocean below 10,000 meters..."

Behind the nun, a young girl dressed as a clerical immediately asked:

"Captain, morph pursuit, or use missiles, or send out the Sage?"

"No, we're not the Demon King, let's continue to set off towards Whale Harbor, the matter of Whale Harbor is more important than this pirate ship. ”

The nun shook her head, looked at the deep sea again, and muttered inwardly:

"And it's still a peer, if you catch it, it's not a fight, it's not a fight... But why didn't he, a holy priest, come to me to report, but get a pirate ship of his own..."

...

After a few hours of diving under the sea, Yorkham Jones commanded the Storm Rose to the surface.

"It's good that it's not the 'Demon King', otherwise it would be over, and I don't like the script of going out and dying..."After the submarine turned back into a sailboat, Marcus immediately lay down on the deck and let out a few long breaths.

"What is the Demon King?" asked Qin Jing curiously.

"The aircraft carrier group of the Confederate State of Walson. ”

Yumi stretched her little head out of her bosom and continued:

"Because they will chase after pirates when they see them, and they will not stop until they are killed, so they are given the name of 'Demon King'. ”

"Well, it's not very dangerous to be a pirate!"

Ching's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Yorkham Jones:

"Jones, or we'd better be bounty hunters!"

"Ah, the Demon King is not like the Holy Angel that can cruise around, they will only operate in the sea of gold controlled by the Walson Confederation. ”

Yorkham Jones smiled and stretched, and said to Hansen:

"Hansen, get the sea monster you just caught from the 'Second Sea' and eat an octopus feast at night. ”

"Okay captain!" Hansen smiled with his white teeth and walked to the bow with a few crew members.

"Why didn't the 'Demon King' dare to come out?" asked Qianqing curiously.

"Because it has too many enemies, especially the 'Treasure Emperor', as soon as the Demon King comes out, his 'King Horn' will come directly. ”

'Lieutenant Colonel Rose' whispered back, and walked toward the cabin, and when she reached the door, she looked back at Yorkham Jones:

"Captain, do you need me to comfort you for the fright you just received?"

"No, no, I think I'm fine. Yorkham Jones immediately took a few steps back, shook his head, and then crouched down with his acoustic guitar.

As the minor key played, the night slowly fell over the sea, and at the same time, the 'Wind and Rain Rose' sailed out of the sea of angels ruled by the Norkran Kingdom.
