Cardan suddenly shrank and stepped into the captain's cabin. His left foot, which was still in the air, suddenly stepped on the floor. His whole body was about to step back. He held the door handle with his right hand and pulled it back, trying to pull this stranger away.
The young man locked himself in the room and called the crew.
As a pirate captain with a bounty of 3,200 pounds, he was able to make a name for himself, so naturally he would not think that this guy who suddenly appeared in his captain's room really wanted to eat the night shift with him.
There are forty or fifty crew members on his ship, and there are more than ten pirate ships around the ship, and there is also the ship of the pirate general "Vice Admiral Dusk", but no one has found anyone secretly sneaking in here. It is obviously not something he can handle.
enemy.
Seeing that the young man in the room did not respond and was still eating with the wooden stick utensils invented by Russell, Cardan smiled. The door to the captain's cabin quickly closed with a loud sound, and his back also made a "bang"
It hit the wall of the passage.
But before he could turn around and run toward the deck, he felt as if he had hit rubber instead of a wooden wall. No, it should have been a yellow bullet. Then he threw himself towards the captain's cabin door. He subconsciously stretched out his arms.
He crossed his arms to protect his head, but the door was opened the moment he made contact with it.
The crossed arms were opened, violently supporting the floor, and with a slight exertion of both hands, the whole person stood up again like a tumbler, and the door to the captain's cabin was already closed.
Rawls put the lunch box on the table, placed it with the sextant and telescope, nodded and said:
"Well, not bad, he is indeed a pirate captain with a bounty of more than three thousand pounds!"
Cardan had already taken two steps back, clinging to the wooden door behind him. Even as an Extraordinary, he felt horrified and frightened by the encounter just now. He was like a marionette, and this ship was his stage.
Two fists that are far thicker than normal people are guarding him in front of him. Although he is a "Weapon Master" in Sequence 7, as long as it is a weapon in his hands, he can use it at a master level, but he likes to use fists.
It comes from his former boxing ring career, but he also has the nickname "Iron Fist".
"Who are you?"
Cardan did not try to shout for help, he was afraid of angering his opponent, and the sound of the door closing just now was enough, and his most trusted first officer should be able to sense that something was wrong.
"That depends on what you think. By the way, don't you want to call for help from your crew?"
The person sitting in the captain's chair was naturally Rawls. He crossed his legs and looked through the lenses at the pirate captain who had a deep impression on Andreevich. He was in his forties or fifties, tall and burly, and was tanned by the sun.
His skin was red, his tall nose drooped when he was young, he wore a skull captain's hat, and his beard was thick but neglected.
When Cardan heard this, his heart sank, knowing that even if he shouted, he might not be able to call his crew, so he could only hope that someone would come to find him.
"Still hoping that someone will come to you?" Rawls saw through his thoughts and dashed his hope again, "But didn't you ask them not to disturb your rest? Did I understand you wrong?"
"what you up to?"
Cardan took a deep breath and completely lowered his defensive fists. This method was beyond his understanding. Maybe the person opposite was deceiving him, but he didn't want to take the risk. No matter when, his
Life is the most important thing.
"Pa"
Rawls snapped his fingers, "It's very simple, I want to hunt 'Vice Admiral Dusk'."
"Huh?" Cardan was stunned and pointed in the direction of the "Twilight". When Rawls nodded, a wry smile appeared on his face, "Then you should go find him?"
Before today, if someone came to him to talk about this matter, he would definitely stay away. But now he desperately hopes that someone will come out. Even if he cannot hunt "Vice Admiral Dusk", it is best to hurt him, so that
You don't have to abide by that contract.
"I will go, but now is not the time."
We have to wait until after the bloody battle between "Admiral Blood" and "Vice Admiral Dusk"... This is the first thought that arises in Cardan's heart. The gap between pirate generals is actually very small, especially when the fleet still exists.
Next. Once both parties can't hold back, the third party will naturally benefit. It's not like he has never done something like this before. After other pirate captains have suffered heavy losses and grabbed the money, he will rob the pirates.
"The reason why there are pirate generals on the sea is not only because of their personal strength, but also because they have enough fleets and manpower."
Rawls pointed at Cardan. For "Vice Admiral Dusk", his fleet is composed of pirate captains like Cardan.
"Iron Fist" Cardan swallowed. He had never thought of this. After all, "Vice Admiral Dusk" had been plundering in the North Sunian Sea and had no conflicts with other pirate generals. Although he had to turn in part of the money every year,
He was also happy about this. With the "Twilight" as a target, he would never have to worry about the Fusaxunian fleet targeting him as its main target.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I am not a member of the Dusk, nor am I an affiliated fleet. It's just, just..."
Looking at Cardan who was eager to explain, Rawls smiled:
"Just a temporary call?"
"Yes, yes, you are right, temporary affiliation, just temporary affiliation." Cardan nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
"Then wait until the 'Blood Admiral' arrives and leave as soon as the two sides start fighting!"
Cardan felt that the man sitting in front of him suddenly became aloof, looking down at him like a god. His body trembled instinctively, wanting to follow all his instructions. But when he thought of the contract, he immediately woke up and concluded.
He stuttered and said:
"I, I also want to leave, but, I signed a contract, a contract drawn up by a 'notary public'! If I violate it, I will die!"
"That's right."
Rawls put away his majestic aura, stood up, walked to Cardan, stretched out his right hand and said:
"Mr. Captain, do you need to consult about the unequal contract forced by 'Vice Admiral Dusk' on you? I happen to have some research on this issue and may be able to help you terminate this contract."
"Ah?" Cardan was completely stunned, and he stretched out his hand blankly to shake Rawls's hand.
"Well, since you asked me for help, I need to consult about the specific contents of the contract. You must know that 'lawyers' are the most professional in making contracts."
"Oh well."
Cardan, who had not yet reacted, then recounted the contents of the contract he signed one by one. His memory was not that good, but he could recall the contents of the contract as soon as he recalled it.
"...If 'Vice Admiral Dusk' chooses to retreat temporarily, then I and other pirate captains will be responsible for covering the 'Twilight' and resisting the pursuit of 'Admiral Blood'. Well, that's all..."
As Cardan told the contents of the contract one by one, his face became increasingly ugly.
"Oh, a temporary retreat? The person who drafted the contract is really good at talking."
Rawls had already sat back on the captain's chair, holding his chin, but luckily he didn't turn in. After being slightly absent-minded, he immediately went through the contents of the contract in his mind. Let's not mention the writing style. The person who made the contract was obviously a brain.
The meticulous guy should have been drafted by the first mate Alexei "Red Spider" whom Andreevich said.
He is a "conspirator" in Sequence 6. He comes from a poor noble family and rarely fights.
Even if it is the rules set by the "conspirators", Rawls can find loopholes in them, but for people like Cardan who signed the contract, they cannot violate it even if they know it. If you want to distort the content, you can only get the
A contract can do this.
"Pa", Rawls snapped his fingers again and said with a smile:
"No problem, I will help you resolve this contract, but then you have to do what I ask."
"No problem!" Cardan couldn't wait to resolve the contract now and leave immediately.
"That's good."
Rawls nodded, took out the dusty space money bag from his pocket, and took out a golden cane, the "Wand of Power".
"Then, just to be on the safe side, let's sign a contract, right?"
"ah?"
Seeing Rawls take out a nearly one-meter-long cane from a palm-sized money bag, Cardan hadn't reacted yet. He opened his mouth when he heard this, but he had no choice but to nod.
Picking up a notebook casually from the table, Rawls tore off a page, scrawled the contents of the contract on it with a pen, and finally signed his name, Jeffrey Lister, and handed it to Karl.
Dan.
Cardan took the paper tremblingly and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the content on it. It only required him to keep the conversation just secret, and he could leave after he signed the contract with "Lieutenant General Twilight".
After confirming that there was no problem, he picked up the pen, signed his name, and handed it to Rawls.
Throwing the contract on the ground, Rawls held his cane, pointed the tip of the cane on it, and solemnly declared:
"The contract is established!"
The brilliant light like the sun radiated from the cane, warm and bright, and finally turned into a seal-like projection, covering the contract. Cardan immediately felt that he had some subtle but invisible connection with the contract.
, this feeling is stronger than when he signed the contract with "Vice Admiral Twilight" before.
Rawls lifted his cane, and the contract floated up and landed in his hand.
"Then, happy cooperation."
As the cane touched the ground again, Cardan's eyes were filled with bright lights. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was the only one in the captain's room. He sat down holding on to the table and slumped on the chair.
…
Two days later, the Dusk went up to the bilge room.
After gathering the dull orange light again, Rawls, who had signed more than a dozen contracts, sat cross-legged on the ground like Andreevich. Although there was some discomfort in the process of signing the contract, the two parties still carried out the process.
The frank conversation enhanced our understanding of the pirate captains and finally reached a consensus.
"Even if you are promoted to a guardian, it is best not to challenge the 'Immortal King'."
After learning about the "One-Eyed Knight"'s direct questioning behavior, Rawls was not too worried about him. After all, it is not easy to train a pirate general, and he cannot always rely on the power of the "Black Emperor".
"I know, I will only look for his crew."
Andreevich raised his head and scratched his hair, and the heavy chains made a "squeaking" sound. After Rawls twisted the rules here, he has regained a certain amount of ability.
Rawls closed his eyes helplessly and advised again:
"Well, you also need to pay attention to this. As far as I know, the 'Immortal King' is not that simple. He is very likely to be controlled by his pirate ship now."
"Pirate ship? 'The Death'?"
"Yes, that ship should be the 'Whisperer' corresponding to Sequence 3, and Agaritu and his crew are just its puppets. The real 'Immortal King' should be the Sequence 4 'Devil'. On that ship
Under control, it is impossible for him to get promoted again."
Andreevich nodded and agreed:
"That's for sure. According to our family's understanding of demons, low-ranking people cannot escape the shackles of high-ranking people and can only surrender forever. Just like the 'blood servants' transformed by 'vampires', they cannot disobey the orders from their masters. However,
If Agaritu is really just a 'devil', then my Sequence 4 ritual has a target."
Rawls sighed in his heart, and he gave up the persuasion completely. However, he was still curious about the promotion ceremony of "Demon Hunter". Andreevich had told him before that the ceremony of "Guardian" was required.
Find where the thorns of life grow.
The promoted "Guardian" will be gradually petrified by the power in the potion and turn into a "stone giant". Only by binding the whole body with thorns of life and sucking the blood can the body not be petrified.
"The ritual of a 'demon hunter' is to survive ten minutes in front of a demigod-level creature. The longer the better. You can prepare the corresponding potions and traps in advance, but you cannot rely on the help of others, nor can you use anything special.
Extraordinary items of this path. Based on past experience, using 'Devil' as the target is best for those who are promoted, because 'Demon Hunter' is the nemesis of Demon and can better understand the weakness and advantages of Demon."
"But Agaritu is a demigod after all. Even without the interference of the Death Ship, how could you survive 10 points in the hands of the Devil."
Rawls was a little confused. Demigods are a huge dividing point. Once the incomplete mythical creature state is turned on, demigods and below must look away to avoid being impacted.
Andreevich puffed out his chest and said proudly:
"If I am sure of being promoted, I will borrow the 'Demon Hunting Medal' from my family, which is an extraordinary item corresponding to the 'Demon Hunter', and then ask a demon hunter to help me refine the corresponding magical potion. Holy
Ointments and essential oils, in the past, a senior even directly killed a 'devil' from the Andrerad family with the help of these."
Good guy, no wonder you would aim at Agaritu. If there was no interference from the "Silver" and those crew members, there would indeed be a chance to hunt down the "Immortal King"... Rawls secretly complained, if another "Silver" was hired...
"Knight", then it would be no problem to take it away together with the "Queen of Death".
Just when he was about to ask Andreevich how many strong men there were in that tribe, Rawls' ears twitched slightly and he looked outside the door. The orange-red light balls that had gathered on the wall scattered back again.
