After obtaining the 'Still Beating Heart', this black grade mission item, Sheyan was perplexed. Obviously, there were two mission branches here, each pointing towards the important storyline characters of the two legendary battleships. Second officer Old Bill and captain Blackbeard. Once this mission item was bestowed to one of them, then the other branch route would be severed. Logically speaking, although the Flying Dutchman's second officer Old Bill held an important position, but he would definitely not be as wealthy as the captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge. Therefore, the latter's mission reward should be better.
But Sheyan suddenly recalled the storyline of Pirates of the Caribbean 4. From that movie, he could clearly see that Blackbeard was a selfish and callous person who would even use his daughter's life as a bargaining chip! If one wished for him to be generous, then it would be counterproductive. Perhaps if the price was too high, he would forcefully snatch away the mission item. In fact, even the main character Jack Sparrow was once toyed with by him using a voodoo doll, what more a mere temporary crew head like him?
The sea breeze blew gently, and the black smoke in the distance continued to rise, making the azure sea water even more vivid. The setting sun in the distance was even more crimson, like the embers in a furnace that had yet to be extinguished. The huge merchant ship under their feet was slowly sinking into the bottomless abyss of the sea, as if it was foreshadowing the final outcome of this regional naval war. Sheyan took a deep breath, returning to the Bell and Mug. He simply bandaged the wounds on his body, feeling his gradually recovering strength. He then strolled steadily into the captain's room.
At this moment, there were already several people gathered in the captain's room. Captain Ammand, navigator Xiaer and the other core members needn't be mentioned. The temporary second officer Robben was also cowering in the corner, and the first officer Scarface Harry was impressively among them. Even though his head was wrapped in a white cloth, his voice was as loud as a bell, chatting cheerfully and wittily. It could not conceal his heroic aura at all. However, Sheyan could still sense the pain from Scarface Harry's furrowed brows. Not sure if it was because his eyesight was blurry, Sheyan also noticed that Scarface Harry's body was occasionally emitting a faint silver glow, congealing and not dissipating. These people in addition to the crew head Sheyan, made up the entire Bell and Mug's decision makers gathered here.
Ammand first scanned the room with his usual sinister expression, then he calmly announced.
"Before that, I will announce two personnel appointments, Blind Matt!"
Following Ammand's words, the curtains in the room were suddenly pulled open. A person with a pair of small eyes walked out, looking like he was squinting at any moment. This person had a head of messy brown hair, covering the front of his forehead. He was wearing a yellow patched vest, and at his waist was a Damascus scimitar. Only occasionally would he reveal a glimmer of light, making one feel that he was not an ordinary person.
"From now on, you are the vice crew head of the Bell and Mug."
Blind Matt faintly raised his head in response, as though he wanted to use his gaze to 'stab' Sheyan. Instead, Sheyan was concentrating on his own toes, as though there were countless treasures buried beneath the floorboards. It was as though he didn't care about such a targeted appointment.
"Robben!" When Ammand called out these two words, it seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, carrying a double cold intent. Robben couldn't help but shudder, moving closer to Sheyan without anyone noticing. Instead, Ammand continued to speak word by word.
"Your position as the vice officer is not bad, continue with it. Remember to consult Harry if you have any matters, if not once you make a mistake, no one can save you!"
"As for Seaman Yan, I am very disappointed in you! You've betrayed my trust in you! "Ammand finally vented his anger with a roar.
"How did you do it! Why did you lose 3 elites to besiege a mere decaying undead! Seawolf Shali, Hermit Crab Zell, and Lamar are all elites who have followed me for many years. Why did they meet such a tragic end, not a single one survived, I need your explanation! "
Sheyan was neither servile nor overbearing as he slightly bowed, then he calmly said.
"Sir, if I didn't remember wrongly, this' mere 'decaying undead had slaughtered a total of 17 elite sailors! Amongst them included my predecessor Cuaron, this valiant warrior. I'm very honoured to be able to obtain captain's trust and high regard, but I can't help but honestly say, to completely not lose any men to get rid of that damned monster that was devoured by hell is an extremely brilliant idea, but it's beyond the scope of my abilities. Especially under the premise of ensuring that we can loot all the valuables on that merchant ship. "
Sheyan displayed a humble attitude, but his words were as sharp as a knife. He even vaguely pointed out that Ammand was the one who plotted against him first. Currently, Ammand was extremely wary of Sheyan, but he couldn't deny that this Seaman Yan from the east was a rare talent. In his heart, he had thoughts of subduing him for his own use. Thus, after using words to knock Sheyan down, even though he knew that the deaths of his 3 trusted subordinates were fishy, he still snorted coldly and crossed his arms in front of his chest without speaking further. As for Scarface Harry, he observed the situation and changed the topic to a more serious matter.
"Although we've already gained the upper hand, sinking an enemy warship and two large trading ships, those damned Spaniards have sent another fleet to reinforce us, so we have no choice but to give up on the pursuit. I estimate that this huge naval battle will end very soon, at that time all the pirates will gather for an alliance meeting, at the same time distributing the spoils of war. We are the first pirates to engage in close combat, thus this time we have suffered heavy losses, but we have also won a huge honour, reaping considerable benefits, and also the reputation of our Bell and Mug! "
Speaking till here, Scarface Harry laughed wildly, his expression soaring, carrying a hint of regret. Obviously he was vexed that he missed the opportunity to personally take part in the battle. But if he was there, Sheyan would not be able to display his superiority in terms of organisation, and perhaps the Bell and Mug would really be defeated on the battlefield.
"The captain and I have estimated, in the entire battle spoils, our ship will take up a full 40%. That is to say, before the alliance meeting, even the 3 legendary pirate ships will have to give us face! Thus we need to discuss a method, we must let the reputation of the 'Son of the Black Sea' resound throughout the Caribbean sea! “
After hearing this speech, everyone present was naturally quite excited. The greater the reputation of this Bell and Mug captain Ammand, the higher the reputation of this pirate ship, the higher the reputation of this ship. Just like in the present world, when a headhunting company tries to poach a global top 500 company's employee, the price they offer would definitely be higher. However, although Sheyan wasn't inferior to anyone in terms of scheming and scheming, he knew that he wasn't familiar with the customs of the pirates of the caribbean. If he were to rashly open his mouth, he might end up as a joke. Thus, he simply stood by the side without speaking, leaving the impression that he knew when to advance and when to retreat.
While the group of people were discussing in full swing, suddenly 7 consecutive cannon booms drifted in from afar. These cannon booms were very rhythmic, like the beat of a drum. Following closely were similar cannon booms. Very quickly, the Bell and Mug responded with 7 cannon booms, echoing throughout this vast and beautiful Caribbean sea. Everyone in the captain's cabin sighed in relief, Sheyan then received a notification from his nightmare imprint.
"Contestant no.1018 has entered the historical storyline battlefield: Destruction of the Paragon fleet (Prologue), end."
