Two days later, Banamo Port, a secluded area of the pier.
Jian Na was wearing a black dress-like robe, looking far away at the blue ocean filled with light mist.
Her mission is to monitor the dock to discover the Newnes, the flagship of the "Admiral Deep Sea", at the first opportunity.
Of course, this is just one direction she needs to pay attention to. The most important thing is to make sure that no pirate king's fleet comes to Panamo Port before the arrival of the "Newnes". If such a thing happens, she must quickly notify Lu
Mian, let the unknown adventurer disappear.
Jian Na sometimes paced, sometimes found a seat to sit down, and waited patiently for the arrival of her target.
Suddenly, she saw a huge thing in the distance rising from the sea surface against the current.
The behemoth was metallic black as a whole, with a large amount of seawater sliding down the surface. It was shaped like an oval spindle that expanded a lot toward the sky. A thin, curved metal pipe extended from the top, like a spindle.
Elongated snail eyes.
The next second, the metal pipe bent and retracted, and the entire upper part of the behemoth cracked open and spread out in all directions, revealing a wide deck, a large number of artillery, hundreds of pirates, and raised the mast.
and sail.
Jenna was a little dazed by what she saw. Although she had heard from Lumian about how "Bonebreaker" Basil's "Black Octopus" dived, surfaced, and deployed, she had never been so shocked by seeing it with her own eyes.
This has a strong mechanical beauty!
Moreover, that behemoth was no smaller than the latest steam ocean-going ships, and far superior to traditional sailing pirate ships.
Without any additional confirmation, Jenna knew that this was the flagship "Newnes" of "Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine.
At the same time, she initially determined that the "Newnes" came to Panamo Harbor alone and was not accompanied by the "Black Octopus".
——Since "Vice Admiral Twilight" Bulatov Ivan became the "King of Twilight", other ships in the "Admiral of the Deep Sea" fleet rarely move with the flagship, because "Newnes" and
The "Black Octopus" can sneak into the sea and sail secretly, which other ships cannot do. Forcibly following it will only expose Hal Constantine's whereabouts.
This is one of the reasons why Franka is eyeing this "Deep Sea Admiral".
"Such a giant alchemical machine is so beautiful..." Jian Na stared at the "Newes" and sighed with emotion in her heart.
Her father was a worker, and his aesthetic appreciation for machinery profoundly influenced her and her brother Julian.
In addition, Trier is full of all kinds of useful and strange machines, and her brother Julian almost gave up his belief in the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and switched to the Church of the "God of Steam and Machinery" when he was a teenager.
Jian Na withdrew her gaze and walked towards the outside of the pier, thinking of something with a slight worry:
Her brother Julian will end his exchange studies in more than a month and return to Trier. However, she does not want her brother to continue to live in this metropolis built on the "crater". She wants Julian to come to Trier.
To settle in a place with strong official power but not as dangerous as Trier, Port Russell where Julian is currently staying or a town quite different from Trier are both good choices.
Janna knew that she could not convince Julian. On the one hand, her brother would be worried about her sister unless she found a reliable man to marry. On the other hand, Julian was born in Trier and grew up in Trier.
How could you be willing to leave your hometown when you can get more opportunities in Trier?
"We have to think of a way to make a roundabout 'arrangement'. Well, a temporary one is easier to convince. Leaving home permanently is absolutely unacceptable to Julian. According to Franka, it can be three years first, and then three years later...
..." Jenna didn't consider asking Anthony to "hypnotize" Julian directly.
At this time, two drunken pirates walked into the dock and saw Jenna wearing a hood and a skirt-like robe.
They glanced up and down for a few seconds, looked at each other, and stood in front of Jenna.
"Woman, please make a price."
“If you don’t want to make an offer, we’ll just give it ourselves!”
The two pirates hit the mark, stretched out their palms, and tried to catch Jenna.
In Port Panamo, this kind of thing is not uncommon. The women among the local residents either go directly to bars and other places with protectors to work as street girls, or they rarely go out to avoid being targeted by pirates. In that case,
The best outcome is to wait for the Sheriff to come and receive a small compensation, and the worst outcome is to be killed on the spot by pirates who have no money to spare, thrown into the sea, or captured on a ship and sold to others.
place.
Before the hands of the two pirates touched Jenna's arms and shoulders, they suddenly found themselves ignited with black, evil, and quiet flames.
They suddenly felt fear and pain, their drunkenness disappeared, turned around and ran away.
They ran and shouted in terror:
"Witch!"
"Witch!"
Jenna felt a little bit of the "Witch's" potion digesting from the association, pain and fear of the two pirates, and then silently watched them gradually weaken in the burning of black flames, falling to the ground and twitching as they ran.
die.
Jenna immediately fell into a dilemma:
Should I continue to maintain the mysterious and evil image of a "witch", or should I follow my instinct and dig out the money from the two dead pirates...
…………
Port of Panamo, inside a bar.
Anthony sat on a high stool with a glass of beer in his hand, listening to the pirate across from him bragging with foam at the mouth.
His mission these two days is to blend in among the pirates, monitor and guide the direction of "public opinion".
Although Lumian has analyzed a lot, he is still a little unsure about the reaction of the pirate group. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is quite normal for so many pirates to have some weird things that cannot be predicted by common sense.
When a "conspirator" formulates a conspiracy, he or she will not say that something will definitely happen, or that it will happen 100% of the time. That is the ability of "soothsayers", "seers" and "spectators" who are in high positions. What the "conspirator" needs to do is
Prepare additional means to ensure that things develop as you envisioned, rather than being helpless if something goes wrong that deviates from the original plan.
So, he asked Anthony to go to some of the pirates' favorite bars and make as many friends as possible, so as to understand how those pirates reacted to unknown adventurers provoking the entire group, and to identify differences that might have a significant impact. Voice, and then use the ability of the "hypnotist" to quietly guide and change the attitude of the few pirates who have the right to speak, ensuring that the "public opinion" that Franka speaks of is always what Lumian wants.
This relatively large-scale, hidden guidance made Anthony's "hypnotist" potion digest a lot.
Because this is both essentially "hypnotic" and seems to have completed an indirect spiritual guidance for the entire pirate group in Port Panamo.
Gulu, Gulu, the pirate next to Anthony took a big sip of golden beer and looked at his new friend with admiration.
In his opinion, this new friend is not only very approachable, but also one of the pirates who is good at listening. He will not always interrupt others when they are showing off and show off their own experiences.
"There's a storm above. It's so rare to meet such pirates. I can finally tell the story of my experience happily!" Pirate Stilwell, who put down his beer glass, sincerely praised the gods in his heart. Asked Anthony, "Are you interested in joining our fleet?"
Anthony smiled and replied:
"I don't think I'm strong enough to be one of you."
"Haha." Pirate Stilwell laughed triumphantly.
Anthony glanced around and deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"Have you heard about the unknown adventurer?"
The smile on Stilwell's face disappeared immediately:
"I heard that there are countless pirate captains here, but none of them tried to teach that adventurer a lesson!
"What are they waiting for? This is an opportunity to make them more famous, and maybe they can become the tenth pirate general!"
In the midst of his anger, Stilwell never mentioned that he could challenge the arrogant adventurer.
Suddenly, he heard a noise erupting somewhere in the bar hall.
"What happened?" Stillwell muttered, picking up the beer glass and walking towards the wine table.
After a while, he returned to the bar and said to Anthony excitedly:
"The Admiral of the Deep is in Panamo!"
"The 'Admiral of the Deep' is here?" Anthony looked surprised.
"Yeah, someone taught that bastard a lesson!" Stilwell sat down on the high stool again and said nonstop, "That's a pirate general. Every pirate general is actually killed, not bragged. , can tie up all the adventurers here and kill them!"
When Stilwell finished speaking, Anthony echoed:
"I'm already looking forward to it."
Gulu, Stilwell picked up the beer glass again and took a sip.
He boasted about himself:
"Actually, I was wondering whether the 'Admiral of the Deep Sea' would come and end the shame of the so-called famous pirates."
"Why do you say that?" Anthony asked curiously.
Stilwell glanced at him:
"you do not know?"
Anthony smiled and explained:
"Although I am an Intis, our leader has been intercepting ships in the Raging Sea for a long time and rarely goes to the depths of the Misty Sea."
"That's right." Stilwell expressed his understanding and lowered his voice. "We all suspect that the Deep Sea Admiral comes to Panamo Port every year to get to the legendary treasure."
"Treasure? 'Lost Newins'?" Anthony acted like a true pirate.
"Lost Newins" is one of the six most famous treasure legends on the Five Seas. It is rumored to be at the bottom of a certain area of the Misty Sea. It is said that it was once a civilization of intelligent creatures, but it seems to have been destroyed long ago.
, and some strange items often appear in the corresponding sea areas, and they all point to Newins in ancient times.
"Yes." Stilwell nodded heavily, "If you think about it, the flagship of the 'Deep Sea Admiral' was found from a certain ruins and named 'Newnes'. Everyone would doubt that the ruins are
'Lost Newynes'! Moreover, the sea area where the legendary Newynes sank is not far from here."
