Chapter 6 The Last Wish of the Pirates
After I asked my question, the pirate captain over there laughed, but his laughter was very terrifying, because the guy started crying with a smile. Although I didn't know why he reacted, I didn't interrupt him. He apologized to me after he finished venting, and then said, "We have tried it a long time ago, but it's useless!" He sighed, "We were very unwilling to accept our death. How much do we hope this robbery will be successful? But we failed, and we were very unwilling to accept it. In the end, we all sank into the bottom of the sea. Because we were unwilling to accept it, we had to rest in peace. Now if we want to rest in peace, we must fulfill our original regrets. Therefore, we cannot fulfill our last wish without taking all the treasures away. You tried it before leaving us, but the result was that we had to commit suicide."
"suicide?"
"Yes. We have tried to run directly without robbing the ship, but we were not caught up by the fleet, but we could never see the continent according to the route we had before our lifetime. The world seems to be only sea. No matter how we sail, we are always in the sea. In the end, our food and fresh water are exhausted, but we will not die. The people on the ship have not eaten anything for several months. Everyone is like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin, but we still do not die. Some people even tore off their skin because of hunger. As a result..." The pirate captain here suddenly stopped for a while, and then continued: "As a result, everyone was stunned. The guy who tore his skin open actually used it.
The skeleton was moving on the ship. Although the internal organs and everything disappeared, they were still alive, and they could feel the unbearable hunger and thirst like despair. But we could not eat anything. We could not drink any water. The way of living was more painful than death. Finally, after everyone's discussion, we had to sank the Dreamer ourselves. By the way, the Dreamer was the name of this ship. After we sank the Dreamer, we sank the bottom of the sea with it, so when the Dreamer touched the bottom of the sea, the reincarnation continued again. As long as we did not fulfill our wish, this reincarnation would not end, so we had to rob, escape, fight, and die!"
"It sounds miserable, well, considering that if I don't help you, I will not be able to get out myself, I decided to help you fulfill your wishes."
"Hahaha, you're really realistic!" Captain Pirate seemed to like my statement and laughed. Then he walked up to me and grabbed one of my hands and raised it, then shouted around, "Guys, we have a new crew again. Try to grab all that ship and let us try another death journey."
"Oh..." There was a cheer in response to the captain. It was obvious that the captain's prestige was very high, and at least the crew loved him very much.
As the cheers gradually became less and the captain was about to put down my hand, I suddenly shouted to the surroundings: "No. Let's stop trying the journey of death, we will return with treasure this time."
The pirates around were stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted and cheered again, then shouted together, "Back with treasures" and then began to work hard.
Because it was occupied by the pirates here, the ship there was pulled closer without resistance. Then the pirates began to carry supplies. I originally planned to ask the Kirin Warrior to help, but seeing that the pirates were very fast, it was not a big deal. To be honest, the robbers were actually very smooth. The people on the opposite ship voluntarily gave up the resistance after they found that they could not escape. Therefore, there was no battle in the robbery process. This was actually a strategy of the pirates, that is, the pirates would
Let go of the people on the unresisting ships and leave them enough supplies for return. For the resisting ships, the pirates will not kill prisoners, but will drive them all into the sea, and then tow away or sink the other party's ships depending on the situation. Of course, if they do this, most of the people who dare to go into the water will be dead. Because of this different treatment, many merchant ships will run away first after encountering pirates, and if they cannot escape, they will surrender simply because resistance will die. If they do not resist, they will survive.
The ship in front of me was an unresisting ship. The pirates kept the people on the ship in a cabin and promised to release them before they evacuate, so the pirates were able to transport supplies quickly and safely. However, although the robbers were still smooth, the pirates were unlucky to encounter a huge fleet. The other side was in the wind, so the speed was very fast. When the pirates discovered the fleet, the bow of the ship was pointing in the direction of the fleet, which was in the wind. According to the captain's introduction, a large part of the reason why they were surrounded was because of this direction. Because they were against the wind,
If you want to escape, you have to turn around first. After all, you cannot pass through the other side's fleet. Only with the wind can you run out of speed. However, when the fleet arrived, the pirates were carrying treasures from the robbed ships. The two ships fixed together could not turn around. If the pirate ship turns around, they must be separated from the merchant ship first. However, if they do this, they will not have time to put them on again after completing the turn and continue to carry the supplies. Therefore, as long as they insist on moving all the supplies, they will inevitably be surrounded. If they do not want to be surrounded, the only way is to run away in advance and ignore the supplies.
When the pirates first started transporting supplies, I saw the coming fleet, but it was not what I saw myself, but what the birds saw. Since I knew that an enemy was coming, I naturally had to send a scout to explore the bottom lane. The pirates knew that the fleet was coming, so they were not surprised when I told them. Until the pirates carried one-third of the things on the ship, the fleet opposite finally appeared in the sight of the pirates here.
Because I just heard the pirate captain tell me the reason for being surrounded when the fleet was not arrived, so I was not in a hurry at all, because I had thought of a decisive solution in the previous period.
"captain."
"What's the matter with Zi Ri?" The pirate captain had introduced to me. And he could see that I was very strong in combat, so he was quite polite to me. Of course, the attributes that influence NPC attitude on me also played a big role.
I pointed to the fleet over there and asked, "If we turn around early, can they still catch up with us?"
The captain looked at the fleet over there and pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "I don't know. But I explained to you before, and now I can't turn around and move the ship. And when I'm fixed together like this, I can't turn around!"
"You just need to tell me if I can run away if I turn around now." I stressed again.
The captain probably guessed that I might have a way to make the ship move away in time when he turned around. So he seemed a little excited, but at the end he said: "I'm not sure. But I can be sure that if I finish turning around in advance, the chance of running away will definitely be much greater."
"That's good." I asked again, "Is there a rope on that boat? I mean the rope that is thick enough to drag the boat."
The pirate captain pointed at me with a funny look when he heard me, and then asked me back: "Do you think we will be short of rope?"
I looked at the sail above my head, and then I remembered that this was not a modern warship, but a three-masted sailboat. The sails of various shapes on the top of my head were controlled by countless ropes that looked like spider webs. Moreover, just as modern ships prepared some replacement parts for consumable parts, the ropes on sailboats were also consumable parts, so they usually prepared more to meet the needs of time.
"Since there is a rope, it's easy to deal with. Please arrange some people to help you with some ropes. First, use a few ropes to form a few thicker ropes, and then fix one of them to a place where the hull can be subjected to force. I'm going to let my hands come down to tug the boat."
"tug?"
"Oh. It's hard to explain now. Please let someone prepare the rope first, and you will know later. I won't harm you anyway."
The captain thought about it and this was the case, so he immediately started to be busy.
For the crew on the sailboat, cooking ropes are all basic skills, so they were completed quickly. According to the requirements, the ropes were divided into several strands and fixed to the place where the hull could bear the load. Finally, the rope heads were concentrated at the bow of the boat and waiting for me to find my hands to drag them down.
After everything was arranged, the captain ran to me and asked, "What should I do now?"
I waved my hand and said, "Don't be anxious first, let's drop the boat in the direction first."
The captain immediately said, "Didn't you tell me? I can't turn around now, I can't get it if I turn around!"
"It's okay, you can continue to move yours and leave it to me for the turn. But it may be a little shocking when you start moving, just ask everyone to pay attention."
Although I didn't know what was going on, the captain still nodded and ordered, so a pirate soldiers went to inform the other pirates. After I replied that I had notified them, I nodded and walked to the side of the ship and waved forward. Several cracks immediately appeared in the void in front of me. Then I heard a dragon roar, and luck flew out of the crack first.
Although these pirates have heard of the dragon clan, they have never seen a real dragon, especially at such a close distance. When the lucky huge body flew out of the crack in the space, the huge figure and the low-frequency wind pressure caused by the flapping of the wings made everyone feel almost breathless.
Before the islands recovered from the huge visual impact caused by luck, another giant dragon flew out there. This time it was a plague, which was larger than luck, but the result was that the pirates were collectively pumping and cold. However, before they could recover, three dragons ran out one after another in the crack. Of course, these three were Crystal, Miss San and Mira.
In fact, when these three came out, the pirates over there seemed to have just looked at Ye Yue passionately and turned into stone statues. They had no reaction except standing blankly.
Originally, the pirates thought that the five dragons were already scary, but who knew that I was not over yet. After the fifth dragon appeared, a larger head suddenly appeared, and it was slightly different from the previous dragon head, but the body that followed was slender and long, like a snake body, not like a dragon at all. The sixth person appeared was actually Little Dragon Girl, and the pirates were all European races, so they didn't know the Oriental Dragon. Of course, this did not affect their guess about Little Dragon Girl's combat effectiveness, because Little Dragon Girl completely defeated Lucky them in terms of body size. No matter how big the dragon is, it is still within the allowable range of the earth's creatures, but the Shenlong is completely exclusive. Although Little Dragon Girl is not as perverted as his father, Qinglong and Golden Dragon, and is only a few hundred miles long at any time, and a head is as terrifying as a mountain. But they are still much larger than Lucky, especially now, as our level increases, this gap seems to be becoming more and more obvious.
I didn't care about the pirates who had been completely petrified. I stood directly at the bow of the ship, Xiaolongnu and Lucky, and said, "Hurry, hurry up, help turn these two ships first."
"Understand." After receiving my order, only luck and the plague landed in the sea. None of the other dragons went into the water. After all, these two were over 100 meters long, and the pirate ship itself was not lucky enough to grow. If several dragons surged up, they would not be able to use it.
After entering the water, Lucky and the Plague stopped at the stern of the pirate ship, and the other stopped at the bow of the merchant ship. Then the two of them tried hard together, and the two ships immediately moved under their push. Because they did not master the strength, the hull suddenly shook when they first pushed, and many people almost fell. However, this woke everyone up. The pirate captain reacted the fastest and jumped up and shouted: "What are you still standing there? Work quickly? Maybe there is really hope to succeed this time!"
The captain's words immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the pirates, and they began to shout and rushed into the cabin to transport supplies, which was amazingly fast. However, even so, when they moved all the things, the fastest battleship over there had already entered the range. However, compared with the previous situation, we now have an advantage, that is, the bow has been transferred and the sail has been raised. Not having to turn around within the range of the enemy's artillery not only means a lack of dangerous range, but more importantly, it saves a lot of time.
"Hurry, we are going to escape this time!" The captain roared excitedly and caught the last pirate who jumped over. Then the first mate on the ship immediately pulled the springboard and cut off the anchor cable connecting the two ships. The Dreamer, who had already risen, immediately escaped from the merchant ship, and then began to accelerate forward. Behind them was a huge fleet of unimaginable ships. At first glance, the number of ships was definitely over a thousand. Even the modern warships of our guild would have to be a headache for a long time, let alone such wooden sailboats? Fortunately, we don't need to bother them anymore, and now we just need to run away.
"Hurry, hurry up, raise the sails." The captain roared and gave the order.
I grabbed the captain and said, "Don't, don't lift the sail."
The captain was obviously stunned for a moment. If he had usually drawn his sword, he would have cut people. However, because I summoned Lucky before, they performed too strongly, so the captain hesitated for a second and asked, "Why? How could we run past those warships without raising the sail?"
"No, raising the sail will only slow down our speed, don't forget my subordinates." As I said that, I made a special gesture to the sky, and then Xiaolongnu and the others landed on the sea one after another.
I didn't come up together before to help turn around because there was not that much space around the hull, but if I just pulled the rope, everyone wouldn't have to squeeze together. The pirates who put on the hull at my request threw the anchor down, and then the little dragon girl directly drilled through the bottom of the boat, and then caught the two anchors with both front paws, and then began to swing their bodies and swam forward.
The crew members watched the iron chain connected to the anchors be pulled into the water, and then the chains rolled on the bow became fewer and fewer. Since then, there has been a sudden sound and the entire ship has suddenly jumped forward. Many people on the ship were shaken down, but most of them grabbed the things in time to fix them.
After a sudden acceleration, the hull speed gradually stabilized, but luck and the plague fell one after another. Then they each took a rope from the ship and held it in their hands and swam forward. Suddenly, the hull speed surged again, but this was not over yet. Mira, Mira, and Crystal fell into the water one after another. Mira and Crystal also pulled a rope each, while Mira, and Crystal simply stuck it directly from the stern, and pushed forward with their heads against the stern of the ship and pushed forward with force.
We have never calculated how powerful the six dragons are. Anyway, the pirate ship is about to turn into an airship. Under the traction of the six dragons, the entire ship almost left the water surface. It felt like a waterskiing board dragged by a motorboat. As long as a wave hits the water surface, it will suddenly fly. Then it falls into the water and then rushes wildly. The sea breeze blowing on the deck of the ship made the crew squint their eyes. They clearly remember that their direction should be at the right time, but the airflow I felt was blowing from the front. What does this mean? This means that the ship has exceeded the wind speed.
Sailboats that rely on wind power generally cannot be faster than the wind, even if it is a good wind, the speed of the boat must be lower than the wind speed, because once you are on the same level as the wind speed, the wind is forbidden to you. And how does the sailboat move in the absence of wind? As for faster than the wind, this is completely a dream for the sailboat. Because if you are faster than the wind, then the tailwind will turn into a headwind. At this time, the sail will not only not generate power, but will generate resistance. This is also the reason why I don’t let the captain hang sails.
The people chasing us behind were sailboats, which means they could not have run over the wind speed. If we now exceed the wind speed, it means we must be much faster than them. In fact, this is exactly the case. There are six dragons pulling it, and it would be strange if this ship could not run through the broken sailboats.
"Wow, Brother Zi Ri, you are so amazing! It seems that we are about to rest in peace! Hahaha, *** Empire fleet, follow us and eat our way." Looking at the fleet that quickly narrowed in sight, the pirate captain was already a little proud.
In fact, not only the pirate captains, but the little pirates are also excited. Everyone is making a living at sea. Who has seen this speed before? Is it scary to be able to run at this speed? If a warship can have a third of the speed, it should be champagne to celebrate.
The entire pirate ship completely lost the fleet behind him in such a jubilation. I later sent a bird out for reconnaissance, but I didn't see the fleet at all. It means it was indeed far away. However, strangely, we were still on the ship. After the wish was completed, the captain and the others should rest forever. I should also return to the wreckage under the sea? But why are we still here?
"That... captain?"
"What's the matter with President Zi Ri?" The captain who was just trying to get rid of those fleets immediately turned around when he heard my voice. Now the pirates on the ship simply regarded me as a god. After all, they ran out in such a barbaric way. They didn't dare to think about it before!
Seeing that the captain's attention had shifted over, I asked, "Shouldn't we be considered fulfilling our wish now? Why are we still here?"
It was as if the audio was being broadcasted suddenly had its power outage, and the entire ship fell into death silence in an instant, leaving only the sound of the hull running at high speed outside hitting the waves still ringing rhythmically.
After being idle for a long time, the pirates on the boat suddenly resumed the noise, but they no longer cheered, but gathered together to discuss the reasons why they did not leave. After a while of discussion, a pirate suddenly asked an answer that might be the question.
"Does we need to bring the treasure back to Treasure Island before it counts?"
"It's very likely." This idea was immediately supported by most people as soon as it was proposed, so our route began to change, and the current mission became to find the Treasure Island. But... a few hours later, we finally found something helplessly, that is, the Treasure Island is gone.
The pirates have navigation equipment that can roughly locate the sea, so they could have found the Treasure Island. However, when we arrived at that area, we saw a vast ocean. As the pirate captain said before, they had never found land here, and it was always the sea. This location should be the location of the Treasure Island, but now it has become the sea. The only explanation is that there was no land in this world.
To put it bluntly, this world is transformed by the pirates' obsessions before their death. There seems to be nothing related to land in their obsessions, so there is no land at all in this world, and of course there are no islands.
"Since we have no treasure island, we will never be able to rob," a pirate asked.
Treasure Island is where pirates store treasures stolen. The final step of a complete robbery is to hide the remaining treasures after distribution. However, for me, this is a mission world, and the mission cannot be unsolvable. Then, there must be some reason here that Treasure Island is an unnecessary thing, because if it is really needed to complete the task, then this mission becomes an unsolvable task, because there is no treasure island at all in this mission world.
I changed my meaning to what the NPCs could understand and said it to them again, and the guys immediately fell into chaos. The pirate captain asked in a bit unbelievable way: "You mean, we robbed those treasures and actually can't let us rest in peace, right?"
I thought about it and said, "I can't be sure, but from the current situation, the possibility is very high. First of all, this cycle cannot be unsolvable. So since the treasure island does not exist, it must be an unnecessary link. If this link is not needed, then your robbery should have been considered completed. But the current situation shows that we obviously have not fulfilled your last wish, that is, the successful robbery of the treasure is probably not your last wish."
"What is our last wish?" a pirate asked stupidly.
"It seems that you should know this kind of problem more than me, right?"
"But if we were clear, we wouldn't have worked so many times for a wrong goal before?" said another pirate.
I also realized when I heard the pirate's words. It is very likely that these guys were very vague or completely gone after they died. Therefore, they themselves couldn't figure out what they were thinking about at that time. As for their wish to succeed in robbery that they had sweared to think was their last wish, I think that answer was more like an inferred based on experience.
The pirate captain thought for a long time and said to me: "President Zi Ri, I think you should help me give me some advice? I saw that you are a very powerful person. There were so many intruders before, and no one could help us run out safely. You got us out so easily, so you must be very powerful. Please think about it? You must have a way."
"I have to find a way to do it! I can't get out if I don't help you solve the problem!" I thought it was a very simple task, but I didn't expect that such a problem would happen, which made me worry now. If I was really trapped, I would be in trouble. Not to mention the shame, I will lose a lot of money to waste a wish fruit!
When I heard me say this, the pirate captain and pirates over there looked at me with hope, and I could only start analyzing helplessly.
"Since that's the case, let's analyze it. What are the things you have seen in this world so far?"
A group of pirates began to say, "The sea."
"Treasure."
"Merchant ship."
"fleet."
"And we ourselves."
"Is there any?" I asked.
The pirates looked at me and I looked at you, and finally shook their heads together.
Judging from their reaction, there was nothing else, so I began to think about and analyze. "The content of the task must be something that exists in the world, that is, your last wish must be related to these things before. The sea is the background, and I think your last wish should have nothing to do with it. Treasure is the goal you thought of before, and the idea that can match the treasure is the only way to possess it. This is also your previous idea, but now it seems that it is not."
"What else can it be?" asked the pirate captain.
I frowned and said, "The merchant ship has not resisted, and you have a very thin impression of it, so the last wish should not have anything to do with it. Then the only thing left is the fleet. After the robbery is completed, you are sunk by the fleet, which means that the duck you got is hung up before it can be eaten. This kind of resentment should be very strong. If you deduce this way..." I suddenly increased the volume and exclaimed, "Your last wish shouldn't sink all that fleet, right?" (To be continued)!~!
