A black shadow that almost blended into the night passed through the gaps in the warships and various shipwrecks, like a ghost on the sea.
"Is this dark mode?"
Yi Lin lay on the Night Dire and looked at it curiously.
A faint black mist completely enveloped Yi Lin and the motorcycle.
This ability is beyond the scope of what "science" can explain.
Well, it's unscientific, very unscientific.
[Dark Night Mode] Through the protective color of night, the mount and the user are hidden, silent and can blend into the colors of the night.
Dark night mode is different from Yi Lin's skill [Following Like a Shadow].
[Following Like a Shadow] is a skill that reduces the "sense of presence", but visually, the presence of the form cannot be eliminated.
However, Dire's [Dark Night Mode] uses some mysterious power to shroud Yi Lin and the mount on her crotch, almost blending into the night, making them undetectable.
Moreover, in the dark night mode, the roar of the engine is directly silenced, and even when driving on the sea, no sound is exposed.
But obviously, dark night mode is not suitable for every occasion.
As the name suggests, dark night, and only night, is the time when Night Dire can hide its figure.
If it is daytime, a dark thing driving on the sea will be far more conspicuous than if the dark night mode is not used.
Another side effect is that in dark night mode, the engine power consumption is extremely low and the driving speed cannot be increased. It feels like the energy-saving mode is on.
"Haha, even the skill of 'ignoring terrain' exists, and there is no scientific discussion value."
Yi Lin shook her head and came to a conclusion.
Originally, the mounts of the Knights of the Apocalypse were life forms that were almost similar in shape to "horses".
But Yi Lin succeeded in matching with a motorcycle, but his mount turned into a nondescript existence.
A little weird, but also delicious.
soon.
Using dark night mode, Yi Lin lurked and drove in the dark, staying away from the sea.
Yi Lin stopped at the sea surface to check the remaining satiety of Night Dire.
"Well, it's enough, no need to add wine."
To be on the safe side, Yi Lin stuffed a few bottles of [Collection Grade Red Wine] from Swan Castle in the storage space as backup oil, just in case of emergencies.
If the satiety level drops to zero, not to mention whether the inexplicable favorability level will drop, at least the mount will not be able to drive.
After one hour.
Yi Lin started to feel a little bored.
Even so, Yi Lin did not dare to let down her vigilance in the vast sea where boredom was inevitable.
He finally realized firsthand what a woman's intuition is.
That kind of peeping feeling is always there, which makes Yilin very uncomfortable.
If it goes well……
Another half hour passed.
No disaster, no disaster, very unexpected.
finally.
far away.
Gradually the shadow of a ship appeared.
On the bow of the ship, two dim lights were lit. Although the lights were dim, they were like morning stars at night, which refreshed Yilin and helped her find her direction.
ten minutes later.
Yi Lin quietly stepped onto the deck.
Ruth specially selected the most lazy lookout to be on duty tonight, and sure enough, on the lookout, one after another snores floated in the night, like the whispers of ghosts.
Next to Ruth, there was Wang Tiandi who looked like he was asking for credit.
Yilin silently took out a prepared bone from the storage space and threw it into the dog's mouth.
Gouzi's brows instantly lit up with joy, his lips curled up into a mysterious smile.
After dismissing the dog, Yi Lin looked around and found no one around.
In the middle of the night, except for the night watchmen, all the pirates went to the special dormitories below the deck to sleep soundly. Ruth chose a good time.
"Rin!" Ruth and Yi Lin reunited after a long absence. The joy and excitement on their faces could not be suppressed, and their whole bodies were trembling slightly: "I——"
Yi Lin's expression changed slightly. As soon as Ruth said a word, Yi Lin directly covered Ruth's big mouth.
——Don’t think too much, use your hands.
"Shh-"
Yi Lin tightly covered Ruth's mouth.
Make a gesture to silence her.
Ruth looked confused.
It’s dark and windy this month, but there’s obviously no one around, right?
This is obviously a very suitable atmosphere for a picnic, right?
Why don't you let people take credit?
Who knows how hard it was for her to pretend to be a "skeleton gentleman" during these days!
"Let's talk after we go in."
Yi Lin ignored Ruth's random thoughts and forcibly dragged Ruth into the room.
The dog thought for a moment that the cool breeze at night might ruffle his coat, so he followed into the room wagging his tail.
Click, the door is locked.
Yi Lin closed the window tightly.
Calypso's eyes may exist everywhere in this sea.
"besides……"
Yi Lin directly peeled off the equipment from Ruth's body.
Ruth: “???”
There are no other skull-shaped objects in the room.
After finishing preparations, Yi Lin no longer felt the feeling of being spied on, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh? What are you doing in bed?"
Yi Lin saw that Ruth had already wrapped herself in a quilt on the bed, and glanced at her with bright eyes. She immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Get up and take that thing out!"
Ruth didn't understand the meaning of Yi Lin's series of weird actions at all, but under Yi Lin's threatening eyes, she didn't dare to mess around and took out the tarp bag from under the bed.
"Are you sure you haven't opened it?"
Ruth's mouth flattened: "I do think so! But -"
As she spoke, she nuzzled at the dog at her feet.
The dog raised his head, biting the bones in his mouth and unable to laugh, so he raised his paws, broke off two of them, and barely made a "V" gesture of victory.
Yi Lin: "..."
Ruth: “…”
Unexpectedly, with the structure of Wang Tiandi's claws, he could actually make such a weird gesture.
But that's not important.
Yi Lin silently gave Wang Tiandi a thumbs up and looked away from Wang Tiandi.
In his hand is an ancient tarpaulin bag.
The cloth bag was wrapped tightly with ropes around and around.
But under the ravages of time, the outer tarpaulin has been damaged to a certain extent.
Fortunately, Captain Jack seemed to be more cautious back then, so he used a tarpaulin with more layers than the woman's clothes and wrapped her in an airtight bag.
Yi Lin smiled and began to unpack the package happily.
This is the courier that Ruth and Gouzi found after a lot of hard work, so they must be treated with caution.
Half dismantled.
Yi Lin suddenly remembered something equally important and quickly reached out to Ruth: "Compass."
Ruth's face changed slightly and she lowered her head: "But my curse..."
"Don't worry, I won't shirk my promise to you. Don't you still know what I am like?"
I just know it so well that I can’t believe it!
Ruth didn't dare to say these words, and hesitated for a few seconds. Seeing Yi Lin's expression gradually tightening, she reluctantly took the compass off from her tight chest.
This compass is an epic item. It has completed its mission on Ruth, and Yilin took it back to the storage space without mercy.
Seeing that the compass had been changed away by Yi Lin again using "black magic", Ruth raised her head and looked at Yi Lin eagerly, but stopped talking.
While unpacking the bag, Yi Lin lowered her voice and whispered, "I never lie to people."
Ruth: “…”
So Yi Lin changed her approach to a more convincing one: "At least, I didn't lie to you this time. The curse on you will be broken, but not now."
"When?"
Ruth was stunned.
Susu——
finally.
The package is completely unpacked.
Yi Lin smiled happily: "At the most suitable time."
In front of Yi Lin, two tridents exuding ancient aura appeared in front of the two people and the dog.
Although Wang Tiandi was a dog, he was still an apostle after all. When it came to the main mission, he did not take it lightly. While gnawing on the bones, he brought the furry dog's head close to him.
Yi Lin: "Huh?"
Emperor Wang Tian: "?"
Ruth: “???”
The trident in the cloth bag had been hidden in rum for many years. When it reappeared in this sealed room, the two people and Gouzi had different reactions.
A trident is indeed a trident.
It was just a little unexpected.
Yi Lin's face was expressionless, and she gently held the trident head...and half of the long handle in both hands.
This trident... is broken.
broken.
broken.
broken.
These two words echoed in Yi Lin's mind.
"What the hell?"
Regarding the attributes of the halberd head and the long handle, Yi Lin emerged one after another.
…

Yi Lin: "..."
When Yi Lin saw the description of the attributes of the head and the stick, she understood everything instantly.
It turns out that everything is the fault of Jack Sparrow!
No wonder all the curses of the sea return in stronger form.
No wonder women are not welcomed by the sea.
It turned out that Jack Sparrow was the one who went to retrieve the broken trident and glued it halfway, but found that there was no glue, so he ignored it.
As for the description of the three-pronged stick, it was even more outrageous, and it was so outrageous that Yi Lin could not accept it.
How can women all over the world be made to bear this responsibility?
On the head of the trident, there are many fine cracks, and between the cracks, there is a strange liquid, which is crystal clear and green. I don’t know where the glue was found.
Yi Lin held a part in each hand and became entangled in the room.
Ruth was already confused.
She had never opened the waterproof bag, and she didn't know why the trident broke as soon as she opened it.
"None of your business."
Yi Lin lowered his head.
Even without looking at the attributes, Yi Lin would not suspect that it was broken later.
After all, when she first got the cloth bag, Yi Lin felt that the shape of the cloth bag was too short and did not fit in with the legend of the trident.
Ruth looked strange: "Didn't the legend say that the trident was stuck together? Why...why is there still a curse?"
Yi Lin raised her head and glanced at Ruth.
After thinking about it, I decided not to tell the truth to poor Ruth.
After Yi Lin decisively slipped away from the navy camp.
On Lucky 2, the chaos caused by the explosion gradually subsided.
Tiramisu stared at the roll of parchment in his hand strangely.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't hold it back and called Gu Tianqing out for an explanation.
soon.
Gu Tianqing came to the deck.
The movement on the deck was so exaggerated that Gu Tianqing already knew it when he was fingering the tarot cards.
But when the very eye-catching parchment blood book was displayed in front of him like evidence presented in court, Gu Tianqing showed no expression, slowly opened the communication panel, and slowly typed a question mark to a certain damn woman.
Gu Tianqing:?
[The other party is busy, please do not disturb.]
Gu Tianqing: "..."
Tiramisu had a strange expression. Although she did not suspect that it was Gu Tianqing's hand, what she saw tonight was that if Gu Tianqing didn't give an answer, Tiramisu would probably have trouble sleeping all night.
Gu Tianqing turned her palm over and slowly pulled out three tarot cards.
They are "lover", "hermit" and "temperance".
Tiramisu: "?"
Gu Tianqing explained with a smile: "The divination results show, 'hidden lover, unspeakable love'. Maybe Ms. Elizabeth has been secretly in love with me, oh, it's all that damn love."
Tiramisu: "!"
…
The Everlasting Number.
Yi Lin suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, feeling a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart.
The broken trident in front of her made Yi Lin heartbroken.
The contract that Elizabeth Rin made with Calypso was——
"Find Poseidon's trident, and she will prevent disaster from befalling Elizabeth Lin's forehead."
At the moment when the contract was successfully signed, Yilin also received a curse, which was "Calypso's Gaze".
But based on the information Yi Lin learned, this trident must be the key item to completely seal Calypso. Without the assistance of the trident, with the current skills, there is really no way to defeat Calypso.
Each trial naturally has different strategies. It will undoubtedly be much more difficult to just use your fists to attack.
With some helplessness, Yi Lin carefully examined the crystal clear marks between the cracks on the trident's head.
It's like a gel-like substance formed after some kind of mucus solidifies.
"Some kind of glue? Is it that sticky?"
"Wait...it looks like..."
Yi Lin suddenly remembered that when he searched other pirate ships on Tetuga Island, he found a lot of messy useless props and several bottles of liquid, which looked somewhat similar to the slime on the trident.
Thinking of this, Yi Lin didn't waste any time and quickly rummaged through her bag.
【Indescribable Rosemary】......
no.
[Expired San Ge Shen Oil]...
no.
[Eye drops that create perspective illusion]…
Neither.
"..."
【Unknown liquid】.
After rummaging through a pile of messy cards for a long time, Yi Lin finally found a piece of junk in the corner of the storage space that made him feel completely useless.
in properties.
There are only three words: Unidentified.
That means it cannot be used.
"It's a pity that there is no skill like identification..."
Yi Lin put away the messy things and handed the tube of transparent liquid in Ruth's hand. She didn't dare to use it until it was tested. She just had a mentality that she wouldn't get pregnant even if she tried.
, asked casually: "Look, what does it look like?"
To identify unknown items, you may not really have to rely only on skills... "Knowledge" is also a powerful means of identifying unknown items.
Ruth turned the suspicious liquid over and over in her hands for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a reason.
Yi Lin snatched it back again, hesitating whether to find something to try.
However, there is not much liquid in the small tube. Yi Lin has every reason to suspect that if the tube of liquid in his hand is really one of the key props that can re-stick the trident, according to Ta's usual style, the weight in this tube
It is very likely that it is "just right" and not a drop is redundant. Once it is wasted, Yilin is likely to end up like Captain Jack Sparrow.
It was nothing more than half-glued, causing the trident's wrath, and being cursed over and over again.
It's not impossible.
But now, thanks to Gu Tianqing's strange ability, the Navy is about to find the location of the Demon King. The final scene is approaching, and Yi Lin has no time to find other props.
Ruth was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Why don't you...ask old Gibbs? He might know after living so long."
Old Gibbs?
Yi Lin was slightly startled.
But the next moment, almost as a reflex, he opened the captain's panel and looked for Old Gibbs's name in the crew list that he had not noticed for a long time.
"found it."
Old Gibbs's attributes were nothing special, just about the same as Charlie's.
After all, he is older, which is normal, but Charlie's attributes are a bit unusually low.
But that's not important either.
Yi Lin's eyes fell on the column of specialties——
[The Wisdom of an Old Driver] An old pirate who has lived for several versions has rich experience and unique insights and experiences that others do not have, and may be able to provide unexpected help.
Oh, the puzzle pieces are...complete.
…
Three days later.
In the foggy sea.
Gu Tianqing stood at the bow of the boat, frowning.
Since entering the foggy sea, everyone has been nervous, fearing that a ghost will appear next to them.
After all, this sea area is filled with all kinds of legends, which are extremely scary.
Gu Tianqing counted with her fingers, oh no, counted the cards, her expression was unpredictable.
Tiramisu stood beside her, guarding Gu Tianqing.
It seemed that he was afraid that Gu Tianqing would also run away.
For some reason, ever since Elizabeth Lin jumped into the sea and disappeared, she always felt that something was wrong.
The governor was bombed, and his "contact" was intermittent. The signal was not very good, which made Tiramisu uneasy.
"It should be... coming soon."
suddenly.
Gu Tianqing quickly took out three tarot cards, with a hint of fatigue between her brows.
Tiramisu slowly raised a question mark.
Doesn’t it mean that tarot card divination cannot be performed too frequently, otherwise it will be inaccurate?
Only then did she remember that this consultant Kusushiro from Japan had already gone through several suits of tarot cards in just a short time, which surprised Tiramisu.
"just in front!"
After Gu Tianqing said that, she suddenly turned around.
And Tiramisu suddenly grabbed Gu Tianqing: "Wait, where are you going?"
"My respected general, do you want to go with me when I go to the bathroom? Haha, I don't mind..."
Gu Tianqing blinked: "Besides, I think you won't be free either, so come with me to the toilet."
As he spoke, Gu Tianqing pointed in a certain direction deep in the fog.
A black shadow as high as a hill appeared in the depths of the thick fog at some point. It was vague, like a mirage, or like a tall and mighty sea monster dormant in the depths of the fog. It was a sight to behold.
Then there was fear in my heart.
"Could it be——"
Tiramisu's pupils suddenly shrank, and she no longer bothered to hold on to Gu Tianqing's hind legs. She rushed to the fence in a few steps, took out the telescope, and looked into the distance.
Kakakaka——
Around the warship, I don’t know when, from time to time, fragments of shipwrecks hit the warship from the waves. Although it did not cause much damage to the specially reinforced warship, it was the kind that made people imagine the scene of beasts eating.
The sound, in this weird atmosphere and in the sea with countless legends, is chilling.
"That's it! - Fire a warning shot! Everyone, get ready for war!"
Tiramisu was shaking all over.
The captain's cabin suddenly opened, and a figure with bandages all over his body and his eyes completely blindfolded, that is, the weird naval governor, stepped onto the deck step by step and walked to tiramisu.
"Zizzi...it's that...that guy...prepare to capture...be sure to recover...fire, fire, fire..."
A strange electric sound came out of the governor's mouth. The sound was too low. The other sailors were far away and could not hear it clearly. However, Tiramisu did not show any surprise at this weird sound. Instead, he snapped at the governor.
He gave a standard military salute and took the oath loudly.
"All for the glory of the empire!"
"Give me my heart!"
woo woo woo woo--
In the fog, the moment the black shadow appeared, headed by the Lucky 2 where Tiramisu was, the other ships were blocked because of their sight. If they used flags to transmit signals normally, it would undoubtedly reduce the efficiency. Direct firing was undoubtedly the smartest way.
practice.
The other two admirals, the moment they heard the sound of cannons coming from the fog, they understood instantly and ordered the filling of the boilers and lighting the fire as quickly as possible, no matter the cost, so that the warship would have the strongest maneuverability.
Sure enough, I'm hiding here!
That guy!
So many years!
They searched hard!
But ordinary warships are no match for that guy. The sea is littered with the wreckage of naval ships. You can imagine how terrifying "its" firepower is.
But as long as they can successfully capture the Demon King, they will completely change the sea and the world, and let the flag of the empire be planted in every corner of the sea!
Their goal... is the stars and the sea, the whole world!
Mere pirates are nothing to worry about!
All textbooks are just a cover.
The true purpose of the Navy's existence is to hunt down that guy in the vast sea, that behemoth who escaped from the "secret base" ten years ago and completely hid himself at sea as the "Devil King"!
The ocean is too vast, and that guy is extremely cunning. If it weren't for the fact that Jack Sparrow's compass had disappeared all these years, preventing them from finding traces of the "Devil King", why would their navy have waited until today?
Everyone raised their heads.
The nine warships were accelerating furiously.
The fog seems to be dissipating.
"Ah--"
No one noticed, and the sky became darker and darker.
The roaring sea wind sounded like a ferocious laughter in everyone's ears.
No one even discovered it.
A huge shadow, like a migrating school of fish, gradually rises from the depths of the sea. In the depths of the sea where the nine warships are located, the shadow is getting bigger and bigger.
Sea of mist.
It's about to be stormy.
Gu Tianqing stepped on a skateboard-shaped prop with both feet, and air flow was ejected from the back of the skateboard, allowing Gu Tianqing to shuttle quickly through the ocean without any pause.
