Whoosh.
When Sax Sparrow heard the captain's call, he swung on a rope like an agile monkey and directly landed on the deck where Yi Lin was standing from the observation deck that was more than ten meters high.
Irin didn't mention Sax's last name.
After all, the fact that two women boarded the ship was already unfortunate enough. There was no need to add another "curse" that made people feel uneasy.
It was never wrong to play it safe.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
[Rope Mastery (Advanced)] As long as he was given a rope, he could fly.
[There are so many ancient and strange skills in the sea.]
Irin thought to himself.
Although this skill didn't seem to be very useful, Yi Lin couldn't help but secretly praise Sax for using it so smoothly. She couldn't help but sigh.
[Maybe this is talent?]
Irin couldn't help but recall Ruth's amazing massage skills.
[I need to take some time to study the attributes of the people on this ship to see if there are any crew members that I can use.]
[It wasn't easy to recruit people on this ship. It would be a waste to use them all as cannon fodder.]
After thinking about it, Irin suddenly realized that this seemed to be the job of the "first mate." So Irin happily prepared to be a qualified captain who didn't do anything.
Irin had a deep impression of Sax's crew attributes.
After all, like Ruth, he was one of the rare talents on the ship.
Other than [Rope Mastery (Advanced)], Sax also had another skill that made Irin look at him in a different light.
[Treasure Hunting (Advanced)] For some reason, he could always easily find treasures that he wanted.
With that thought in mind.
Irin took out a stack of ancient parchment scrolls.
[Undeciphered Treasure Map]
[Soaked Treasure Map]
[Incomplete Treasure Map]
[Dirty Treasure Map]
[A treasure map that doesn't look very reliable]
…
Other than the one that he looted from the treasure room of the ship, Irin also looted a lot of strange items from the other ships during the two busy nights.
It seemed like every pirate had a hobby of collecting treasures. Irin was about to become one of the "Nine Pirate Kings" and a rising star of the pirates. Of course, he had to follow the pirate tradition. While he was preparing to blow up the ship, he didn't forget to look for treasures.
Therefore, Irin also borrowed a lot of treasures.
Even Ruth didn't know how much wealth Irin had.
Irin could even use "gold coins" as [Unstable Explosives], but the density of gold coins was much lower than "Explosive Pearls." Therefore, other than showing off his wealth, there was no other benefit..
When Irin took out an ancient treasure Map, Ruth's and Sax's eyes lit up.
It was the look in Ruth's eyes when she saw Elizabeth Ling when a man saw a woman.
"This is … a treasure Treasure map?"
Ruth randomly picked up a scroll and looked at it carefully. She lowered her voice and exclaimed.
"Ship, Captain, why are there so many?"
Irin smiled and didn't explain.
Ruth quickly figured out the origin of these treasure maps and observed a moment of silence for the poor captains.
After the mourning, she didn't waste any time. She spread out the treasure maps and looked at them carefully.
At the same time, Ruth was a little touched. Her dear sister casually took out a treasure map that every pirate would scramble for. This was undoubtedly a form of trust in her.
Ah ~ Next time, Big Sister Masseuse must use all kinds of methods to thank my captain!
Irin saw Ruth's strange expression, but didn't think much of it.
Sax's eyes lit up as he silently looked at the contents and locations of the treasure maps.
Irin quietly observed the expressions of the two.
He thought to himself.
It seemed like the temptation of treasure to pirates was really that great?
Irin suddenly had a lot of ideas.
However, it was unrealistic to organize these ideas into a plan in such a short time.
Before going to bed tonight, Irin decided to put his pillow high and think about his next plan.
The mission to become one of the "Nine Great Pirate Kings" shouldn't be as simple as it seemed.
In this world, the only apostle that Irin had come into contact with was Wang Tiandi … No, it was a dog.
The other opponents might have already walked ahead of Irin. It was very possible.
The trial map in the Inner World this time was too vast. If he didn't think of a way, the final evaluation was very likely to be mediocre. He wouldn't be able to get a grade S or above.
Just as Irin was thinking about how to trick people, Ruth and Sax had roughly looked through the treasure maps on the table.
"If I'm not wrong … this treasure map should record the location of the legendary 'Lost Spring of Men and Women'."
Ruth threw the treasure map in her hand onto the table with a strange expression on her face.
"Lost Spring of Men and Women?"
Irin's interest was piqued and he quickly asked.
Sax seemed to have heard of the 'Lost Spring of Men and Women'. His expression changed and he was so scared that he clamped his legs together.
"Legend has it that as long as one can bathe in the 'Lost Spring of Men and Women', they can change their gender …" Ruth smiled and explained, "In other words, men can become women and women can become men!"
"Wonderful!" Irin suddenly slapped his thighs.
Ruth: "?"
Sax: "?"
The sea: "???"
Ruth thought carefully and understood Irin's idea.
She shook her head and explained, "Bo … Captain, it's not as simple as you think. This spring is actually a terrifying curse. Those who bathe in the 'Spring of Men and Women' can't really change their gender. As long as they come into contact with cold water, they'll return to their original state. Once they come into contact with hot water, they'll change their gender … "
At this point.
Ruth pointed into the distance and smiled strangely. "And on this sea, there's no lack of cold water."
Irin: "…"
Forget it.
If she came into contact with cold water and turned back into a woman, it would be like carrying another curse. It wasn't worth it.
Moreover, for other pirates, the 'Spring of Men and Women' was not that attractive.
After all, Irin was sure that no pirate would be willing to be cursed into a 'woman'.
At this moment.
Sax picked out a treasure map from the stack and handed it to Irin with a calm expression. "Captain, please look at this."
"Hmm?"
Ruth's delicate body shook. Before Irin could take it, she subconsciously snatched it from Sax's hand and carefully read the ancient words on the parchment. Her voice trembled slightly. "Wait, could this be the legendary … 'philosopher's stone'?"
Sax nodded. "It's very likely."
'Philosopher's stone?
It's as the name suggests. '
Irin asked again, "Is it very attractive to pirates?"
Sax and Ruth both said at the same time, "Very attractive!"
Irin clapped his little hands. "That's it! Little Sa, lead the way! "
Sax: "???"
'Little Sa?'
But Sax did not dwell on this nickname for too long. He carefully took out an ancient compass from his arms.
He carefully compared the treasure map with the nautical chart and combined it with the compass. Soon after, Sax pointed out the course.
Ruth frowned slightly.
She looked at Sax's actions and felt that the shaking of the compass needle was a little strange.
But Ruth thought that perhaps Little Sa's compass was too old. It was not strange as long as it could be used.
Under Little Sa's guidance, the course of the Queen was quickly set.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the crew, Irin did not hide the ship's destination and directly announced the ship's destination to every crew member on the Queen.
When the group of pirates, who valued gold coins as their lives, learned that Irin actually had the treasure map of the 'philosopher's stone, they could not help but howl at the sky. They all felt that they had not boarded the wrong ship.
Reflected on the captain's panel, almost every crew member's loyalty had increased a little.
Even the loyalty of "Loyal Charlie" had increased from "15" to "18", which was something worth celebrating.
Irin gradually familiarized herself with the 'captain's panel' and felt that this trial in the Inner World was very interesting.
This Queen was not equipped with too much firepower.
There were a total of 42 cannons on the left and right side of the ship. Among them, there were two types of cannons: 14-pound iron bullets and 8-pound iron bullets.
As for the other supplies such as rum, fresh water, vegetables, salted meat, black bread, and so on, they were all stored separately and calculated by Ruth.
Sailing on the sea was not only a matter of combat power, but also a matter of reasonable consumption of supplies. Otherwise, even an apostle could very well starve to death or die of thirst at sea.
Thus, recruiting Ruth, who had been the boss of the tavern for many years, was a very clear choice.
Not to mention that Irin needed Ruth's help every time she put on her clothes, if Irin had to calculate the consumption of supplies by herself, she would have to expend a lot of energy.
Also, the top-level massage technique was very useful.
Nice!
After Sax, the treasure hunter, left, Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Heng.
Irin told Ruth, "Make a few copies of the 'philosopher's stone' treasure map. I have a use for it."
Ruth heard this and although she was full of doubts about Irin's order, she was too lazy to ask. She twisted her waist and went to do things for Irin.
After obtaining the copies of the treasure map, Irin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stuffed the original copy of the 'philosopher's stone' treasure map into an empty rum bottle and then quietly threw it into the sea.
"I hope it's useful …"
…
…
Another week passed.
The journey was strangely calm and tranquil.
This made Ruth very surprised. She even repeatedly checked if Irin was a woman when she was massaging Elisabeth Ling.
— It was confirmed.
Didn't they say that bringing a woman on board would bring bad luck?
Where was the bad luck?
Irin also felt that it was strange.
The last time he boarded Norland's ship, it had not even been 12 hours before they encountered an annihilation level shipwreck. Even now, Irin did not know if the pitiful Norland could survive that shipwreck.
Let's not talk about this for now.
Because of that damnable curse, Irin, for safety's sake, had already ordered the crew to use dozens of empty wooden barrels and tie them together with ropes and hang them at the stern of the ship as backup.
This action that made people scratch their heads caused the mystery of the 'Skeleton Gentleman Captain' to soar in the hearts of the crew.
Wasn't there a lifeboat?
No one could guess the captain's thoughts.
Irin only felt that since 'bringing a woman on board' would bring bad luck, then if it wasn't a ship … then there shouldn't be a problem.
Last time, Irin carried an empty wooden barrel and sailed across the sea, safely arriving at Tortuga Island.
It was a safe week later.
On this day, there was finally a change.
A shocked voice suddenly came from the observation deck.
"Just ahead of the ship's bow, there, there's a ship graveyard! Everyone be careful! It's a ship graveyard! A ship graveyard! "
In an instant.
All the busy pirates stopped what they were doing at the same time.
