In the cabin, candlelight flickered, as if the atmosphere suddenly became much gloomier.
Ruth fell completely silent.
Yi Lin took off her mask, and her azure eyes belonging to Elizabeth Lin stared at Ruth silently and flawlessly. Yi Lin smiled slightly: "To be precise, I should ask...what is it that 'you' are really afraid of?"
Since entering this world.
Yi Lin noticed from different angles that there was a "name" that was like a taboo. Both the navy and the pirates were very taboo about it. No matter what, they would not dare to let that "name" out of their mouths.
It's like, once you say "that name", some kind of terrifying existence will be summoned.
Whether it's Nolando, Ruth, or the pirates on the ship.
All of them clearly knew "that name" and the meaning behind it, but they stopped talking every time, making Yi Lin have to care.
Ruth remained silent.
Yi Lin recalled a certain syllable that Nolando said inadvertently when he first boarded poor Nolando's ship.
"magic……?"
Ruth's expression changed drastically. She was so frightened that she fell on top of Yi Lin. She stretched out her hand and covered Yi Lin's mouth tightly. There was an uncontrollable fear in her eyes.
"Don't, I beg you, don't say it, you will kill everyone!"
Yi Lin slapped away Ruth's palm covering his mouth, a little surprised by Ruth's fierce reaction.
What kind of horror does "that name" contain?
How could Ruth, who knew the sea so well, show such a fearful expression?
Yi Lin observed that when the sailors mentioned the "sea monster", they were just afraid, but not to the extent that they dared not even mention the name.
In other words, the existence that the pirates knew was actually more terrifying than the legendary sea monster?
"curse?"
Ruth shook her head, her expression flashing: "No, you don't understand, that is... something more terrifying than a curse."
"Not even mentioning names?"
Ruth gradually calmed down and looked helpless: "No matter who it is, no one wants to be buried in the sea."
"Will bringing a woman on board bring bad luck?"
"..."
"But aren't we still here?"
Ruth tilted her head.
Think about it.
That makes sense!
There are currently two women hiding on the Queen, and it's been a quiet week, hasn't it?
It seems……
The legend may not be credible?
Ruth's resolve is wavering.
Yi Lin struck while the iron was hot and looked at Ruth eagerly.
Ruth sighed, subconsciously stretched out her hand, used her skilled [massage technique], and silently buffed Yilin.
It's just a buff, nothing special.
Ruth kneaded Yi Lin's shoulders with her little hands. After a moment of silence, Ruth sang softly in a low, hoarse voice with blurred eyes.
"Yo ho~ the dark sea~ the gloomy sky~"
"Yo ho~ Who is floating in the mist?"
"Oh, why are you so panicked?"
"Its eyes contain anger~ Its limbs are like iron towers~"
"Yo ho~ The ocean is its cradle~ The sky is its bedding~"
"Sailors and cannons, rum and ships are just its food~"
"King, oh, can you hear me~"
"It whispers in my ears?"
"Ah, King, he ate the ship, he ate the sailors, he ate the rum, he ate... us!"
"..."
Yi Lin did not interrupt Ruth's singing from beginning to end.
Although Ruth's tone was like singing "The Pirate Song", it was full of the unique pirate accent, like a weird and wild ballad.
But between the lines, Yi Lin felt a very secret fear, especially in the last line of the lyrics. In the teasing tone, there was an incomparable despair hidden, like a king and his attendants, facing a behemoth, despair.
They raised their heads, smiled at each other, and then faced death.
Ruth sang the entire ballad word for word, as if she had done something extraordinary, and breathed a long sigh of relief, giving people a feeling of relief.
While singing, Yi Lin also received a buff on his apostle panel.
--"abundant".
Massage completed.
"What song is this?" Yi Lin looked calm.
Ruth struggled with her expression for a few seconds, but suddenly remembered that two women had never done anything wrong when they went to sea, so she became a lot more courageous, and kept doing it. She simply lay next to Yi Lin's ear and whispered: "This song is
The 'Song of the Demon King' is also known as the 'Forbidden Song'. It is said that this song must never be sung on the sea..."
"Because it is said that the 'Devil King' is everywhere in the sea. If the 'Devil King's Song' is heard in the sea, it will attract the covetousness of the Demon King, and everything will become food for the 'Devil King'."
Demon King?
Is this the existence that makes Nolando stop talking?
Is this the existence that makes all sailors so fearful that they dare not even mention their names?
"Oh, interesting."
As certain existences in this world gradually unveiled their mysteries in front of Yi Lin, Yi Lin felt more and more that this world trial was not as simple as it seemed.
"Um?"
After Yi Lin gets the buff.
Suddenly his expression froze and he stared at Ruth speechlessly: "Take your hand out for me!"
Sure enough, hormones affect personality.
Yi Lin always felt that something was wrong when playing the role of Elizabeth Lin and being manipulated like this by Ruth.
Ruth: “…”
Dang Dang Dang Dang——
suddenly.
The alarm in the captain's cabin rang wildly.
This was the first time the lookout sounded the alarm to notify all crew members to enter the battle immediately after discovering something strange.
Yi Lin: "!"
Ruth: "!"
Yi Lin and Ruth looked at each other.
At this moment, the two of them actually thought of the same word.
——"Devil King"!
…
on deck.
Sailors were cheering: "gogogo!"
"rush!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Brothers, get angry!"
The moment the alarm sounded, whether they were drunk, or on night watch, or sleeping soundly in hammocks, they all entered combat mode in a very short time, put on their boots, and soon set foot on the road.
Deck, waiting for further instructions from the captain and first mate.
Yi Lin and Ruth were even more confused.
After all, Yi Lin had removed all the restraints in order to get the buff. Now it would take a lot of time to tie her back into Molly's shape.
Besides.
Ruth had just sang "The Devil's Song" in the cabin. Not long after she finished singing, an enemy alarm was immediately heard, which really made it difficult for Ruth to calm down.
It was like pouring a basin of cold water on a blazing fire, extinguishing it completely.
"Harder! Harder! Breathe in! Breathe in!"
Tear--
Ruth skillfully tightened Yi Lin's corset, and then she didn't dare to talk nonsense, let alone take advantage of the opportunity. She quickly dressed up, remade herself into "Louis Mate", and left the captain's cabin before Yi Lin, appearing in front of everyone.
before.
As for Elizabeth Lin...
Captain Skeleton Gentleman?
In the eyes of all pirates, their terrifying skeleton gentleman who knows black magic is extremely mysterious. In addition, everyone believes that the dog that lies on the deck all day long and has its hair groomed by the commissioner is their captain's "eyes".
"So, even if Yi Lin doesn't show up, they feel it's very normal.
The dog sat up at the right moment.
From lying on the ground on all fours, he changed to sitting on his butt with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Gouzi's mouth.
This gesture of Emperor Wang Tian made everyone more convinced that their great captain "Skeleton Gentleman" was controlling everything and this ship with his unique "black magic"!
That's a man... who uses his dog to spread fear!
boom!
The captain's cabin door slammed open.
Ruth was wrapped tightly and neatly dressed, appearing in front of everyone.
"What happened!"
"Report to the first mate! There's a ship ahead! There's a ship! It's the Royal Navy!"
oh!
Navy!
That’s okay!
The moment Ruth heard the word "Navy", she breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately it's just the Navy."
"???"
It's not some kind of devil.
First, they passed the ship graveyard, and then sang the "Song of the Devil" in front of Yi Lin. At that moment, Ruth really thought that her singing had attracted the "Devil".
If this is really the case, the efficiency of this "Devil King" is too high!
"Oh no! Navy?"
Ruth reacted suddenly.
Even if you encounter the Royal Navy, you will be very unlucky, right?
Ruth quickly straightened the monocular and looked at the original location.
On the horizon, the shadow of a mid-level warship gradually appeared. On the top of the warship, the flag of the Royal Navy was waving in the wind, very loud.
"navy?"
Yi Lin didn't know when she had already put on a gentleman's outfit that was incompatible with the pirates on the ship, and stood quietly behind Ruth like a shadow.
Ruth was startled when she heard Yi Lin's voice coming from behind her. When she reacted, Yi Lin also took out a monocular telescope and looked into the distance.
If in normal times, when Yi Lin was indifferent, Ruth would not have to ask for Yi Lin's consent, and directly issue instructions one after another, causing the Queen to move swiftly, without any ambiguity.
But now that Yi Lin has come out, whether overtly or covertly, out of respect for the captain, Ruth politely asked: "Captain, what do you think we should do?"
"Well, beat him."
Yi Lin poked and said.
Ruth immediately issued an order: "Everyone get in position! Prepare to fill the starboard rudder! There is a navy ahead, and the Queen is about to make an evasion——???Oh, dear captain, what did you just say?"
Halfway through issuing the order, Ruth suddenly felt something was wrong.
Just now her dear sister Rin, the real owner of this ship seemed to be saying... "beat him"?
Ruth felt that the wind must have been too loud and the waves too intense, causing her to accidentally have auditory hallucinations.
No pirate chose to take the initiative to fight against the navy's warships.
Unless...there is no choice.
On the contrary, Yi Lin responded to Ruth in a tone of "There is something wrong with you": "Huh? Didn't I make it clear enough? Rush up and sink the ship. Pirates are different from the Royal Navy. Beating him is not natural.
