The two discussed in the soul space for almost ten minutes, and then returned to the real world on the ship.
From the time Todd closed his eyes to opening them again, in the eyes of others, it was only a few seconds.
Smiling, Todd took out three silver moons from his arms and put them into Ayesha's hands: "You are a person that King Muxi values and His Majesty has told me more than once to follow your arrangements."
Hearing Todd's words, Ayesha's eyes softened a little for the first time.
Then, she threw the coins at the injured man's feet and shouted in a low voice: "Take the money and get off the deck to work!"
The pirate who had his arm broken off only saw the shining money, and could no longer care about the pain in his body. He moved his body, and while everyone was laughing and grabbing, he shouted and cursed, while pressing the pirate with his body.
Three silver moons.
The golden-toothed mate glanced sideways at Ayesha, and her cold face made him look away unconsciously.
The former gestured to the people around him, and half of the onlookers immediately dispersed.
Todd silently remembered these faces and returned to the cabin with Rachel.
After closing the hatch, Todd looked at Rachel and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Rachel shook her head: "This is nothing. I encountered this kind of thing too many times during my wandering days."
Todd lowered his head, gave up on continuing the topic, and asked instead: "What do you think about the gold-toothed first mate?"
"If there is one thing or thing that can serve as a trigger to provoke a conflict between the captain and the first mate, then this unstable factor on the ship can be eliminated logically."
"Introduction?" Todd touched his face and thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Rachel hurriedly followed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go and confirm something."
The two tried not to attract anyone's attention and walked to the lowest cargo hold.
Todd searched inch by inch along the ceiling of the cargo bay in the dim space.
Rachel followed his gaze and looked at the top of her head in confusion. Apart from the dirty stains, she couldn't see anything noteworthy.
Todd looked up and asked Rachel: "Where do you usually put your money?"
"Most of it is placed in Muxi Bank, and a small part is kept with me."
Regarding the latter's answer, the former nodded and said: "That is the habit of the residents of Muxi City, but for Ayesha, who is a pirate, the storage of property will definitely be different."
Rachel somewhat understood what Todd was thinking: "You mean..."
"As a reward for intelligence and a deposit for escorting, I once gave Ayesha a large amount of money. As a pirate, it is impossible for her to trust Muxi Bank, so the money will definitely not be left in the city." Todd used it.
With the power of "Perspective", she looked through the wooden planks on the cabin roof and looked at the space above: "The Black Pearl has not been anchored in any port in the past few days since it set sail. Naturally, Aisha has no chance to go ashore to take it.
The money was buried. Then, the only possibility is that the money should still be on the ship."
Todd stretched out his hand to remove some supplies in the cargo hold, and looked at a ceiling with his eyes brightening: "Before boarding the ship, I asked someone to learn about the hull structure of the Black Pearl. The captain's cabin is diagonally above here, and the money...
…”
Todd gently tapped the wooden board above his head with his hand, and there was an echo of the hollow sandwich.
He turned his head with a smile and said to Rachel: "Just like those old ways of hiding treasures, the two bags of money are placed in a secret compartment on the floor of the captain's cabin."
———————————————
Late the next night, Todd sat on the chair in the cabin, looked at the unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, and sighed: "Although this face is more attractive now, I still like the original look better."
Rachel held her chin, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and whispered: "Appearance is just a shape made of skin and flesh, the mind is the scale that judges human beings."
"This sentence sounds like a famous quote from some famous person."
Rachel shook her head and said, "No, it's a friend of mine."
Todd put down the bronze mirror and looked back at the woman: "You once told me that there are really very few people you can call your friends."
"Yes, it's a pity that he died..."
Todd was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
There was a moment of silence in the cabin.
Rachel looked at the wooden board under her feet and whispered: "I wonder, did the first mate take the bait?"
"The news must have reached his ears. That group of people gathered together to discuss something this evening." Todd slowly touched the outline of his face and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, Black Pearl
The first supply point will be docked. In order to prevent the captain from transferring property, tonight is the best time for them to take action."
Rachel nodded slightly: "There are some small tricks inside the wooden board. As long as they take away the money bag, Ayesha will notice it immediately."
Todd stretched and yawned: "The only thing left to do is wait."
Another half hour later, Todd was sitting in a chair and fell asleep. When his eyelids were about to close, there was suddenly a burst of yelling and arguing under his feet.
Todd suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Rachel across the table. The same thought emerged in their minds - the fish was hooked.
When they were fully dressed, opened the cabin door, and walked onto the gangway, the deck was already full of people, and the torches gathered together a ray of light on the vast sea.
The first mate, Gold Teeth, led his dozen or so men, standing under the mast, holding two heavy money bags in his hands. Opposite them, on the high helm platform, was A, who was only wearing a corset and leather pants.
Isa, holding a dagger in one hand and a dagger in the other, the anger in her strange eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
"First mate, what you have done has exceeded the limit of my tolerance!" Aisha raised the sword in her hand, and the piercing roar pierced the night on the sea.
Jin Ya patted the money bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Captain, we brothers spent our blood and lives to help you. In the end, after you finished eating the meat, you refused to give away even a bone.
Give it to us!”
Ayesha, whose whole body was filled with anger, began to look ferocious: "Swear to Allah! I will hang a fishhook on the cat's tail whip and tear your flesh clean every stripe!!"
Ignoring the captain's threatening words, Jin Ya opened the mouth of a money bag in front of everyone. It was full of silver coins, making everyone around him forget to breathe.
"Captain, why have you never mentioned to us that Muxi Kingdom gave you a generous reward?!" Jin Ya tightened his purse again and sounded confident in his words: "You also never told us that this time
Where is the destination of the voyage? In your eyes, we are just a group of slaves who make money for you!"
Looking at the pirate who was originally standing next to Aisha, with a look of distrust and hesitation on his face, he slowly moved away from her. When there were only two or three people left, Todd turned towards Rui
Qie Er whispered: "Be ready to take action at any time, remember, try not to be seen by others that we are alien species!"
Rachel nodded calmly.
At this critical moment, Ayesha, who was in danger, rolled her eyes and her expression calmed down. She looked at the first mate and his men, and suddenly asked a strange question: "You have two pieces of money in your hand.
Bag, why only open one? But not the other?"
Jinya was stunned.
The first purse opened contained Silver Moon, and the second purse contained Jin Xu!
His original idea was to gain the trust of most of the crew and kill the captain Aisha. After that, he pretended that the two purses contained silver moons, and then distributed the silver moons to the crew to win their loyalty.
, and in the end, he can have these Jinxu all to himself.
Unexpectedly, Ayesha saw through his plan in a short period of time and defeated his army.
Looking at the doubtful looks of the other pirates, the greedy Jinya knew that he could not delay it any longer. He shouted to his cronies: "Whoever can take off the captain's head can take away 10 silver moons from here."
!”
While the other pirates were still hesitant, the first mate's men attacked Aisha first.
These people, who had been well prepared, wore leather armor and carried weapons, and rushed towards the high platform of the helm.
Aisha held the dagger in her mouth, untied the cable on the wooden railing with one hand, then grabbed the rope and kicked off the high platform with both feet. Her whole body rose into the air and swung into the enemy. Her body
Using the remaining rope, the dagger accurately wiped the neck of a pirate with a gleam of cold light. Blood immediately spattered out from the wound in the enemy's throat and sprinkled on the deck.
Swinging to the front side of the ship, Ayesha kicked on the railing of the mast, then took advantage of the situation to dive into the enemy formation, stabbing another pirate in the shoulder with a sword.
At this time, one of the first mate's men ran to the rope roll of the mast and cut off the cable with a knife.
Aisha, who lost the traction of the rope body, had no object to rely on in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Todd quickly drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "Do it!"
As the King of Muxi, he was not familiar with melee combat skills. Although he relied on the powers of "metal skin", "regeneration" and "weakness" to cut the long sword in his hand into the shoulder blade of an enemy, the body of the sword was
It's stuck in the bone, but it won't be able to be pulled out for a while.
On the contrary, the injured pirate became fierce and slashed the scimitar in his hand to the top of his head.
Rachel rushed forward and kicked the injured pirate on the knee. Then she flipped her wrist and stabbed a dagger accurately into the opponent's heart, helping Todd escape the siege.
Looking at the other side of the battlefield, Ayesha got up and used the obstacles on the deck to fight the enemy.
"Damn it!" Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Jin Ya was furious. He took out a pocket crossbow from his arms and slowly aimed at Aisha not far away.
The crossbow string rang, and a 10-centimeter-long crossbow bolt penetrated into Aisha's thigh.
In pain, the pirate captain could no longer stand and fell on the deck.
Jinya was overjoyed when he saw this. He waved the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Aisha, intending to chop off the opponent's head before he saw it.
boom!
There was a loud noise! Everyone on the deck was startled.
Todd stood in the front, looking at the gun still smoking in Aisha's hand, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
