The search team stepped onto the ruins.
Under everyone's feet, there was a sticky texture, a burning smell, and all kinds of strange smells mixed together. Many people had a look of disgust on their faces.
Under Tiramisu's surveillance, Gu Tianqing worked very hard to search for something in the messy ruins.
Irin laughed.
If he guessed correctly, the result was destined to disappoint Tiramisu.
At this time.
Irin's eyes focused.
He looked down without a trace, then quickly raised his head and released his psychokinesis to sense everything under his feet and behind him.
There was an unnatural trace that extended from the pile of corpses to the shore.
It was like there was an object similar to a "person" dragging its body all the way to the shore.
Then the trace stopped.
Irin was silent and did not say anything about his discovery.
Half an hour later.
Gu Tianqing looked apologetic and said to Tiramisu, "I'm sorry, it seems that my divination was a little off."
Crack.
When Tiramisu heard this, two of his teeth suddenly cracked on the pipe.
Yi Lin heard the grinding sounds that made one's teeth ache. She seriously suspected that Tiramisu's teeth would crack under his extreme anger.
Facing Tiramisu's eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire, Gu Tianqing still looked apologetic and said in a serious tone, "I'm really sorry. However, because of this, I'm even more certain that our course is not wrong, because, according to the divination, this direction will lead to 'bad luck'. Oh, it also seems to have brought bad luck to the damn pirates. "
The implication of her words.
This blame was directly thrown onto Elisabeth Winter's head.
Irin: "…"
Tiramisu's deep V rose and fell one after another, and he smoked with all his might.
Five minutes later.
Tiramisu finally calmed down, took a deep puff of the cigarette, and ordered with a straight face, "Retreat! Continue to set off! "
An hour later.
The nine warships were reorganized and once again followed the direction that Irin and Gu Tianqing pointed out together, and set off in the direction that was getting colder and colder.
After the other nine warships fired their cannons, it was unknown if they had heard some rumors, but they quietly distanced themselves from "Lucky Man No. 2", as if they were afraid of being contaminated with something that they should not be contaminated with.
Tiramisu: "…"
…
Ten days later.
Somewhere in the ocean.
The weather was warm and sunny.
Never ask who "Feng He" and "Li" were.
The Unsinkable finally arrived at a lone island in the vast sea.
The island wasn't big, and one could see the whole picture clearly from afar. The fine white beach reflected the dazzling rays of the sun.
Ding ding ding —
On the deck, many sailors were mentally exhausted. They were patching up the deck and filling in the holes.
Who the hell knows how they managed to survive the continuous storm!
Who knew what they had been through not long ago?
The miserable Charlie's head was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and the gauze was stained with blood.
At this moment, he did not participate in repairing the deck. Instead, he had a smile on his face as he groomed Wang Tiandi, who was sunbathing with his eyes closed.
While Xiao Sa was not paying attention, Ruth quietly took out the compass in the corner, moved back and forth a few steps, and even changed a few postures.
Before they set off, Irin had warned Ruth not to let Xiao Sa know that the compass was on Ruth.
Otherwise … she would die.
At that time, Ruth was shocked by Irin's heavy tone.
However, Irin's explanation afterwards made Ruth not know whether to laugh or cry, and she gave him a thumbs up.
"Xiao Sa will die. If he dares to snatch it, he will be smacked to death by the dog. Therefore, you should not reveal it. After all, it is not easy for Xiao Sa."
After changing a few postures, the needle on the compass moved according to Ruth's position.
However, there was no doubt that the compass was pointing to the deserted island in front of her.
Finally, she had arrived!
Oh yeah! She had arrived at the place she desired!
Ruth clenched her small fists and silently kept the compass.
On the deck.
The drunk Old Gibbs suddenly sat up from the pile of rum bottles as though he was convulsing.
After going through this period of hardship, the Never-Sink had formed a rule where everyone had their own duties.
Charlie was in charge of serving Lord Dog.
Lord Dog was used as a 'dog cannon' to be sent out.
Sax was the lookout in shifts.
As for Old Gibbs, he had become the mascot of the ship. When they were bored and lonely, many of the crew members liked to listen to Old Gibbs boasting about his adventures in the past.
Heh, it was true that when drinking rum, this bullsh * t sounded very exciting!
Oh, poor Old Gibbs. If he had eaten more food, he would not have gotten so drunk.
Those adventure stories sounded even more legendary than the stories of the Pirate Emperor.
Therefore …
When Old Gibbs suddenly sat up, the surrounding pirates carrying wooden mallets and nails could not help but tease him. "Oh, my legendary pirate Old Gibbs, you have finally awoken from your drunken dream?"
"Hahaha ~"
The others all laughed out loud.
Old Gibbs narrowed his eyes and suddenly walked forward, looking at the deserted island.
"Here, here, here … this place is?"
Old Gibbs opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with surprise.
On the other side …
Ruth did not hesitate and directly gave the order to land on the island.
"Hehe …"
Old Gibbs used his mouth to bite the cork of the rum bottle and fiercely gulped down a large mouthful.
The fiery taste stimulated Old Gibbs and made him sober up a little.
Leaving behind enough people to work on the deck, Ruth thought for a moment and ordered the restless Sax to stay on the deck and not allow him to come down.
Thus, Ruth, Old Gibbs, Gouzi, and a few cannon fodders boarded a lifeboat and landed on the island.
The island was not big, and it was obvious that it did not have a dense forest. It was just a small piece of barren forest surrounded by a beach. That was all.
Ruth was also somewhat puzzled.
She had originally thought that the thing Elizabeth Ling was looking for would be hidden in a more impressive place.
For example, an ancient tomb with disordered mechanisms, a temple of the Gods, ancient ruins, a temple at the bottom of the sea … and so on.
However, if that was the case, a woman searching for these ancient mysteries would be a completely different story.
Stepping onto the island, Old Gibbs' eyes were filled with nostalgia.
Ruth avoided the gazes of others and took out the compass.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The compass that had always been accurate seemed to have a stroke. It spun three times to the left and three times to the right. After a pause, it spun three times to the right and three times to the left. It was very rhythmic.
The way the compass spun caused Ruth to be dumbfounded.
What is this?
Some kind of mysterious code?
Isn't this too complicated?
That damned captain did not say that this would happen!
Or could it be that … water had entered the compass? Is it broken?
Can it be cured by smashing it?
Can great strength create miracles?
Many strange thoughts flashed through Ruth's mind and she felt somewhat anxious.
She had come to this island with an important mission. If she could not find that thing, what if that damned woman did not allow her to take advantage of him in the future? What should she do then?
"Search, search, search!"
Ruth stared at the swinging needle for a long time until her eyes were dazzled and she was unable to find anything. After that, she could only helplessly put away the compass and let the remaining people search the entire island.
"Uh, my respected great captain, should we … search for something damned?"
A bootlicking pirate rubbed his palms and asked in a fawning manner.
Ruth was silent for a moment.
She could not say that what she was looking for was the legendary trident of Poseidon that could break all curses.
After all, the matter was too important and the legend was too vague. When she first set sail, she lied that they were sailing towards the legendary "Philosopher's Stone" and that it was a tempting place of gold.
By the way, it was worth mentioning.
Ruth had heard not long ago that in the pirate circle, the rumors about the "Philosopher's Stone" had been abuzz. No one knew where the treasure map of the "Philosopher's Stone" came from, but it had attracted countless pirates to set sail to search for the treasure. Among them, there were many pirates who had already retired and picked up their old profession again.
Therefore, Ruth's reason for setting sail was reasonable. There was the Skeleton Gentleman, the dog, and the Philosopher's Stone. Whether it was the temptation or the threat of force, it was enough to make these filthy pirates who were under other captains not long ago to obediently squat on this ship and listen to Ruth's command.
After all, in their eyes, Ruth, who was with the dog, was the "Skeleton Gentleman" himself.
The legend of "using the dog to spread terror" was too realistic and terrifying. They had also witnessed the terrifying power of the "Dog Cannon" with their own eyes. Wherever the dog landed, there was almost no life left. Screams filled the air. It was terrifying.
A "Dog Cannon" destroyed a ship. Who else could do it other than the Skeleton Gentleman?
No one else!
And now, Ruth looked at the few bootlicking dogs in front of her … Oh no, a few capable cannon fodder. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Find all the suspicious things. It shouldn't be too small. Maybe it's a box, maybe it's a tombstone, or maybe it's a cloth bag. Whatever you find, find it … Be careful, these things may break easily."
Ruth remembered that the trident was once broken and then glued back together. She quickly reminded them.
In the end, Ruth imitated Elizabeth Ling's pretentious tone. She squatted down and patted Wang Tiandi's head. She said indifferently, "Hehe, don't try to hide anything. Its eyes come from the abyss and are watching you. No matter where you are, be careful of your back."
(Elizabeth Ling: Who's pretentious???)
Hiss —
In an instant, all the pirates scattered and did their best to search.
"Burp ~"
Old Gibbs burped and said, "Hey, this is a good place for a vacation. As expected, Captain Jack has a special liking for this place."
"Hmm?" Ruth couldn't help but be surprised. "Old Gibbs, you know this place?"
"I know, why wouldn't I?" Old Gibbs glanced at the Skeleton Gentleman and said with a smile, "This island is the place where Captain Jack's legend began."
“？？？”
Old Gibbs had wine, so he didn't need to be urged. Thus, he happily told a story.
"Many years ago, the legendary Captain Jack was betrayed by his first mate and was exiled to an island. Ah, it's this beautiful island."
Ruth was stunned.
Was it tragic?
Wasn't this a very normal thing for pirates?
Old Gibbs revealed a mysterious expression. "At that time, Captain Jack only had a flintlock and a final bullet left. It was said that he had left it for Captain Jack to end his life … Oh, Old Gibbs guessed that you must be very curious. How did the legendary Captain Jack escape from this island?"
Ruth said, "… No, I'm not curious at all! Where is that thing hidden? "
Old Gibbs: "…"
Old Gibbs ignored Ruth. He seemed to be aimlessly swaying left and right on the beach in a drunken manner. At the same time, he used a nostalgic tone to slowly tell the story.
"Legend has it that Captain Jack used his hair to weave a rope and tied two big sea turtles. He kept swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming …"
Ruth: "…"
"There's also a legend that Captain Jack caught two mystical parrots and used them to fly across the Caribbean Sea …"
Ruth was instantly stupefied.
Wang Tiandi … was stupefied.
A man and a dog looked at each other with tacit understanding.
Ah … there are people who believe this?
Ruth helplessly shifted her gaze away from Doggie's face.
It was no wonder that Captain Jack could become a legendary pirate. It was all because of his peers.
Thump, thump, thump.
Suddenly.
Old Gibbs stopped at a certain spot and stomped his feet a few times. Muffled sounds could be heard from under his feet.
When Ruth heard the strange sounds coming from under Old Gibbs' feet, her eyes lit up. She ran over to Old Gibbs' side and stomped a few times as well.
There was something under the sand.
Ruth hesitated for a moment. Since she didn't have any other tools, she could only use her hands to dig at the sand.
As she dug, she asked, "How did you know that it was here?"
Old Gibbs slowly said, "Heh heh, Captain Jack's habit of hiding things has never changed."
After digging for a while, Ruth began to feel that it was somewhat strenuous. After all, she was using her bare hands.
Wang Tiandi sneered and slowly walked over with an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.
Doggie twisted his butt and fixed his front legs in front of Ruth. His hind legs seemed to be equipped with an electric motor as he crazily dug at the sand in front of the two of them.
Under Old Gibbs and Ruth's dumbfounded gazes, Doggie's two hind legs danced like the wind and spun like a dragon. They became faster and faster, leaving behind afterimages.
One minute later.
It was over.
Doggie arrogantly retracted his legs and shook off the sand on his fur. Then, he squatted at the side and stuck out his tongue. His expression was unfathomable.
He looked like a dog but also not a dog.
At this moment, Ruth didn't have the time to praise the diligent Wang Tiandi. In the small hole that Wang Tiandi had dug, an almost rotten wooden board appeared in front of Ruth.
Squeak —
As the wooden board was lifted up, a moldy smell soared into the sky. Doggie, who was squatting at the side, subconsciously rolled his eyes.
Under the wooden board, there was a small secret cellar. Inside, piles of rum bottles were neatly placed. The rum bottles were covered with dust and fine sand. It was unknown whether they had gone bad or not.
"Why is it all rum?"
Under the mask, the corner of Ruth's mouth twitched.
Old Gibbs chuckled and added, "Captain Jack always has a habit of hiding rum, especially when Elizabeth is around … Right, she first married William. Then, for some reason, she gave birth to Sax for Captain Jack. Oh, this damned love. Gululu — "
At this moment, Ruth wasn't in the mood to listen to Old Gibbs talk about Captain Jack's lush love story. Her gaze landed on a corner of the cellar.
In the corner.
A mysterious bag wrapped in a waterproof cloth was lying there quietly. It was unknown how many years it had been covered in dust. Now, it finally saw the light.
And at this moment.
Wang Tiandi's expression suddenly flashed with a trace of human-like doubt. He stretched out his paw and tapped something in front of him, as if he was chatting.
Beep beep beep.
Beep beep beep.
Beep beep beep.
After tapping for a while, Wang Tiandi helplessly tugged at Ruth's trousers.
Ruth hugged the waterproof cloth bag and imagined the future. She envisioned the scene after the curse was broken. Ah, at that time … up and down, front and back, left and right, and Elizabeth Ling … Eh? Strange, why is my mind filled with scenes of women?
Just as she was fantasizing, Ruth felt someone tugging at her legs. She lowered her head and realized that it was Gou 'zi baring his teeth, as if he was trying to signal something.
Ruth was very helpless. "I don't understand."
Gou 'zi thought for a while and suddenly had an idea.
He quickly drew three letters on the beach. Then, he squatted on the ground and used his paws to draw two exaggerated semicircles in front of his chest.
Exaggerated semicircles … Ruth instantly understood. Then, she looked at the marks left by Gou 'zi on the beach.
— "S.O.S"!
This was the universal signal for help on the sea!
"Save OurShip" (Save our ship)!
Ruth knew that there was a strange connection between Gou 'zi and Elizabeth Ling through black magic. This was also one of the reasons why Ruth dared to follow Gou' zi to the boundless sea.
After all, there was an Irin remotely controlling the ship from the other side.
And from Gou 'zi's message, she knew that … something had happened to Elizabeth Ling!
"Set sail! Set sail! Set sail! "
Ruth hurriedly returned to the ship.
She obeyed Irin's instructions and did not open the waterproof bag. It was said that a certain ritual was needed to break the curse, and it could only be completed by an Irin who knew how to do it. Ruth did not dare to be careless.
Ruth already knew how to use the compass.
She had found the trident, and her worries were solved.
The remaining desire … Ruth closed her eyes and clenched the compass in her hand.
A few seconds later, Ruth's face was flushed. She breathed out slowly, and her legs involuntarily clamped together and twisted.
Wang Tiandi: "?"
A moment later.
The trembling needle on the compass finally pointed in a certain direction.
"Oh, my dear captain, this time, it's my turn to save you!"
Ruth licked her lips and smiled brightly.
…
Irin looked at a large graveyard that appeared in the distance.
That's right.
It was indeed a graveyard.
A familiar graveyard.
After all, Irin had seen many graveyards on the Queen, so she was not too surprised.
The only thing that surprised Irin was that the direction she pointed in really led the nine warships to the direction of the legendary "Demon King".
Was it fate?
Or was there a hand in the dark manipulating everything?
Ever since Shipwreck Bay was completely destroyed by the Navy under Gu Tianqing's influence, Irin felt that the pace of the entire storyline had suddenly accelerated.
It was as if Gu Tianqing's actions had turned on a certain switch and pushed the storyline to the end in a short period of time.
Irin lowered his head.
He silently sent a series of messages to Wang Tiandi and closed the apostle panel.
Wang Tiandi's IQ was not low, and he was even a bit like a dog. Irin was not worried that the dog would not understand his intentions. His only worry was that Ruth would not be able to understand what the dog was trying to convey.
If he guessed correctly, according to the normal pace, the apostles would dig up various plots in this trial, and in the end, they would walk to two different lines, the pirate line and the Navy line.
The two lines would correspond to two different factions.
And in this trial, the faction war was not the main theme.
The pirate line's final BOSS should be Calypso.
And the Navy line's final BOSS should be the "Demon King".
Under normal difficulty, the third main mission would most likely be "Sealing Calypso", or it would be related to the Demon King.
But now, after Shipwreck Bay was destroyed, the second main mission was completed in a way that was almost free. It directly increased the difficulty of the entire trial, changing it into a nightmare level trial.
Under the control of certain mechanisms and rules, the two lines that did not interfere too much, the Navy line and the Pirate line, were finally forcefully twisted together.
This was the nightmare level main mission 3 … … to deal with the final BOSS of both sides!
No wonder it was the nightmare level difficulty!
No matter if it was Calypso, whom Irin had met once, or the Demon King, whom he had never met before, they were not existences that apostles could deal with.
Not to mention the Demon King, just Calypso alone, as long as there was enough fuel, Irin was confident that he could ride the Nightmares on the sea and ride the waves, escaping from Calypso's persecution.
However, if he wanted to kill such an illusory existence, it was impossible to do so with his current abilities.
Therefore, after Irin obtained more information, he let Ruth and Gou 'zi work together to find the legendary Trident.
If everything went smoothly, Calypso's side would not be difficult.
The problem now was … … the Demon King.
The appearance of the ship's tomb undoubtedly told everyone that they were on the path to death.
On the deck.
Gu Tianqing smiled calmly and stood to the side, not saying a word.
Tiramisu had already walked up to the deck and stuck his head out from the railing, carefully examining the traces on the ship's wreckage.
From the traces of the ship's wreckage, he could roughly guess the type of beating this ship suffered before it was destroyed, and he could even roughly guess the situation at the time.
“GOGOGO！”
Tiramisu once again confirmed the route with Gu Tianqing, and then he sent a signal to Cappuccino and Macchiato, who were on the other warships.
Unlike the Queen's action of passing through the ship's tomb, the nine warships were not only careful, but they also used all their horsepower to turn on the coal boilers, and the whistles resounded through the sea.
The nine warships sped up and set off rolling waves on the calm sea.
The ship's wreckage floating in the ship's tomb was forcibly swept away by the nine warships, and it was very pitiful.
In Irin's view, it was obvious that these nine warships were going for the Demon King, and they seemed to have full confidence in facing the Demon King. Their expressions were excited, and there was no fear on their faces.
"They know the identity of the Demon King? Even … … they have a way to deal with the Demon King? "
Irin didn't dig deep enough into the navy's line of investigation. He quietly looked at Gu Tianqing, and he didn't know if it was just a coincidence, but Gu Tianqing was looking at him with a smile, and their eyes met for a moment.
Irin: Old fox.
Gu Tianqing: Pretentious.
Irin: Ah ~ Wrong. (Dog head)
Gu Tianqing: Oh, wrong. (Smile)
Irin: … …
Gu Tianqing: … …
The two of them sent the message almost at the same time, and almost at the same time received the other's message. They were both speechless.
Irin closed the communication panel with a blank expression, and then under everyone's gaze, he walked elegantly into Elizabeth Ling's cabin, and ordered a cake and black tea.
It would be a waste not to eat before they shed all pretense of cordiality.
While enjoying the afternoon tea, Irin crossed his legs and thought in silence.
About the next main mission … … what would happen?
"No, it should be … … destined, definitely, definitely, will happen."
Irin opened the window and stared at the sea.
As if somewhere in the sea, there was a pair of strange and indescribable eyes, separated by an untouchable void, looking at Irin.
"Hi, Calypso."
Irin smiled: "I'm here."
As he spoke, Irin took out an explosive bead from under his skirt and threw it into the sea, covering Calypso's face.
No one noticed.
Under the nine warships, deep in the sea.
A strangely shaped shadow appeared for a brief moment before disappearing.
