Black sails

Chapter 74 LXXIII. Above the Clouds

It was late December, the sun was scorching hot, but the sea breeze was bitingly cold.

This is not good news, but a bolt from the blue.

The count didn't tell the mysterious person's identity not because he was worried that his group would detain her, but because he didn't dare to take the job.

Let alone one thousand and two gold dragons, thinking about it now, even if it was one thousand and two gold dragons, I would have to reject it on the spot.

Black Sail has been pushed into the abyss, and everyone involved in this matter may not end well.

But the opposite.

As long as it is used well, it can be used as a bargaining chip... to join the most terrifying power game in the Western Continent.

Fen Ru was in the cold winter, with his hands on the guardrail of the ship, and his throat was rolling. After listening to Swann's description, not to mention the boss of Tianguo Port who couldn't eat it, the royal family of the Principality of Bema was choked.

"Are you sure? Are you sure you saw it right?"

Fin repeatedly confirmed that Swann might be in an emergency and was dazzled.

"It's absolutely true! The silver scales... horns... are exactly the same as the humanoid incarnation recorded in the illustrated book."

Swann's tone was decisive.

"Keep your voice down, don't make any noise."

Fen immediately stopped drinking and kept it secret even from the key people on the ship.

Swann, who had quit smoking for several years, asked for one from the pirates. He lit it with a match shakily and let out a deep hiss, rolling back and forth in his lungs. This made him feel better.

There were too many pirates on the deck controlling the winches, rigging, and sails. The two of them came to the forefront of the bow and stern lines.

"How to say?"

Swann couldn't decide whether to tell Li Site.

Fin also understood what Swann meant.

"You have just boarded the ship not long ago and have never seen Li Site's methods. He is someone who borrows money from loan sharks but also wants to follow the bets. He is far more ambitious than us. If you tell him the truth, I am also a little... unsure."

Even Fen was somewhat repelled, his face was extremely solemn and gloomy to the point of dripping water.

Oakes, who was at the helm, noticed the movement here. He had been on the ship for two years and had never seen Fen so panicked. Something big had happened.

Oakes admired a one-eyed pirate and asked him to watch, and the recorder followed up at any time.

"What's wrong?"

Oaks probably guessed it.

"It's the identity of the mysterious man. The captain will tell everyone about the next destination. You don't have to worry about it for now."

Fen said calmly, now that the news has spread, it is easy to cause trouble.

"Okay, I believe you."

Oakes knew very well that Finn was one of the most reliable people on the ship. Although the incident of Swann boarding the ship started to cause trouble, it finally ended with everyone being persuaded. Others, even Li Site, would mess up sometimes. This was the case when they were in Secret Harbor. It would be much easier for everyone to chop Marcus into pieces together. Face is important, but not to the point of getting angry. , it already had external troubles from the Thieves Guild. When Li Site died, there was internal competition for decision-making power. Internal and external troubles arose, and it collapsed. Li Si has attracted the unstable factor of Morrison, coupled with other means, which shows that Li Si is very thoughtful in order to consolidate his own decision-making position.

Oakes is back at the helm. He has a poker face and is a workaholic.

"Then I'll go tell Li Site."

For Swann to defect to Fen, he must agree with him on all positions and act only after obtaining his consent.

Fin thought for a moment.

"I will go with you."

Fen thought that Li Site's plan was very clever. Fortunately, he didn't kill Gloria Caruso and the other two, so that they could win her into the paradise port by following the temptation.

Nautical interior.

"What's the point of being carefree? Sister, you really can tell me. I've never even held a girl's hand when I grew up. It's unopened and brand new from the factory. I just point at some female holy spirit to show mercy."

Li Site is no longer as simple as being shameless. Both sides of his face are like black holes. As long as he falls into the event horizon, no light can escape.

"Do you think I believe you? I think not only your crew, but also this ship were all deceived by you."

Gloria was completely convinced. This person was talking nonsense, and he would be as fake as he wanted. However, there was one person who said that it was a good entertainment.

When Finn and Swann came in.

Li Site was having a fistfight and drinking with Gloria.

The two of them were completely in the zone. Li Site knew that they were already 50% acquaintances and now they were acquaintances. Looking for an opportunity to upgrade their friendship, Gloria would not refuse with the ruggedness of an adventurer.

Swann's fist hardened.

Fen took a deep breath, Heifan was about to be fucking wiped out by the group, why are you still here trying to pick up girls?

Fen knocked hard on the door to make some noise.

"Fifteen twenty-five."

"Fifteen twenty-twenty."

"you drink."

Li Site taught Gloria a relatively new way of punching.

The two of them were having a great time and were not affected at all.

"I'm sorry, but can I borrow some time from the Captain?"

Fen had to walk to the long table and slammed the table twice.

"Oh, please, just go about your business."

Gloria was also quite sensible and stood up to leave.

"What are you busy with? What can happen on this broken ship? Our friendship needs to be upgraded."

Li Site said shamelessly.

"There's still time. By the way, I forgot to mention, please tell your crew not to harass me. I don't like men."

After Gloria said that, she left the navigation room without looking back and closed the door politely.

Li Site was petrified in an instant. He doesn't like men...it means lace, right? Then what's the use of wasting so much time on me?

He turned into a table-cleaning master on the spot and swept away all the pots and pans on the table.

"Tell me earlier, bastard!"

Li Site is numb, but it doesn't matter, even if it is crooked, I, Li Xunhuan, have to straighten it out.

Seeing Fen sitting upright, Li Site also knew that the big one was coming. Now was not the time to pick up girls. Anyway, there were still six Kagome and six Kikyo to protect him.

Swann leaned close to the door to watch in case anyone eavesdropped. There were only three people in the navigation room now, and everyone else was busy.

"Things are going pretty well."

Li Site lit a cigarette and smoked it. The Port of Heaven was far away, and it would take more than ten days to get there, but naturally the sooner the matter was done, the better.

"It's a dragon."

Fin gets right to the point, no nonsense.

"What the hell? The bathing center is here, right? What kind of foot bath is there?"

Li Site didn't understand the meaning, so he didn't think about it that way.

"I mean...physical dragons."

Fen thought that sooner or later he would be mad at Li Site.

"You made me laugh, wasn't it physical or magical? It's a god's fault."

Li Site was delighted. There was also a saying about a dragon in the Western Continent, but the dragon here referred to an emperor-level service, not a set of procedures.

I simply don’t dare to speculate in such a terrifying direction.

Fin closed her eyes.

"Svan, tell me!"

Fen was distracted.

"I went to their room and stunned the woman. The dose was enough to kill several cows, but the monster just fell asleep. I took off her mask. It was almost the same as what I had seen in the illustrated book. , with silver dragon horns, which must have been covered up with magic before, but were exposed after falling asleep. There are shining dragon scales under the eyes on both sides, and that kind of terrifying energy aura is absolutely correct."

Swann believed in his own eyesight.

"In this way, it makes complete sense. The Eternal Sect regards the Dragon Lord as the only true dragon, and the existence of other dragons is blasphemy, ushering in the religious party dispute. The dragon bloodline can also pose a threat to the emperor. All the questions... were all solved. The letter found by Swann mentioned that the person who would be delivered to Lostra at the Port of Heaven at the end of March would become a weapon for Lostra to deal with the emperor. With the support of these theories, ten Eight or nine, you can’t go wrong.”

Fen tapped two fingers on the table, much faster than before, and he was also a little panicked.

Li Site held it in for a long time, and the cigarette fell to the ground.

In the end, he only uttered two words.

"Fuck..."
