Black clouds twinkle in the distance of the sky, and a series of less dazzling thunder lights constantly appear in the clouds, and then flash away, just like the thunder snake rolling in the clouds, ready to accept the sacrifice from this world.
In the low sky, there are violent storms brewing all the time. For those who live on the sea, this kind of weather is undoubtedly the most disgusting and worrying. Sailors are always the most superstitious people in the world, and many stories will become weird and frightening.
For example, on the deck of the "Queen of the north", there are a lot of sailors talking in low voice. They are dressed in dirty clothes, and even hold all kinds of amulets in their hands. There are good gods and evil gods. The captains generally don't care about such things, as long as the sailors don't do too much, They will not be too harsh on these little things, these poor people living on the sea.
However, for the sailors of the queen of the north, this merchant ship, which is in the north of the eastern Kingdom, has three taboos that everyone knows. No one dares to violate these taboos. Those who dare to violate them are dead.
"Dang, Dang, Dang"
The strong and cold boatswain, armed with a waist knife, rings the bell on the edge of class A on time, which represents the most anticipated time of the day.
Dinner time!
As a warship retired from storm Kingdom, the ship has a special kitchen, and the famous chef "red fish" old Wright personally takes charge of it, which can be regarded as the extra welfare of the queen of the north.
"I said, why does the captain have to come here to do business?"
The new sailor Duncan, nicknamed "handsome young man", is holding his wooden bowl and munching on delicious fried fish chops, while quietly asking his old sea dog Phil laren. These two guys have the same past. They used to be members of the infamous blood sail pirates. The difference is that Phil laren, who has become the leader of a fleet, After encountering the Dark Lord senxia's fleet in an accident, it evaporated with his fleet.
Duncan thought Phil laren was dead, but it was not until the whole blood sail pirate was uprooted by the sea emperor Darlene that he met the old man on a hasty escape and joined the queen of the north.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
Compared with Duncan's activeness, Phil laren, who is over 40 years old, has long become a standard old seal who is careless about everything. He eats a fried egg in his bowl, gives another golden fried egg to Duncan, and then begins to taste the lobster fried rice cooked by the chef.
At sea, it's hard to eat this kind of fresh land food, which is also a symbol of Phil laren's identity. He is now the first mate of the northern queen, the real "big man" on the ship.
Duncan shrugged, ate the fried eggs in two or three, wiped his mouth, dealt with his steak, and asked, "brother Phil laren, where are we going this time? How do I feel that the course is not quite right? I don't think it's the direction to port minehill? "
This question made the chief mate stop. According to reason, this question should not be answered, but Duncan could find the difference of slightly deflected routes only by feeling. This is obviously a kind of admirable sailing talent, which is why he would treat this young man differently. To expand the fleet, this kind of talent is needed.
So he thought, looked left and right, and lowered his voice.
"Yes, we are going to minahir this time, but the next stop of our journey is atonement island!"
"What
Duncan's voice immediately increased octave, which attracted the attention of other pirates who were eating noisily. But soon, no one paid attention to him. He turned to see Phil laren's cold eyes, and Duncan swallowed hard,
"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm just so surprised! Brother fillaren, atonement Island, isn't that the legendary "Ghost Island"? I heard that more than 20 years ago, the island was the naval supply base of kurtiras. As a result, it was raided by the orcs and failed to complete its mission. Those soldiers who were burned to death turned into ghosts and guarded the island forever. Anyone who dares to get on the island will die... No one can take anything from the island! "
With that, Duncan's expression became frightened. Therefore, these rude and sensitive sailors usually made up their own stories, trying to scare others to show their wide knowledge, but they were often the first to be scared.
"Well, forget that boring legend."
Phil laren quickly finished his fried rice, dropped one of the green lemons from his plate to Duncan, and then patted him on the shoulder,
"It's just an ordinary island... Well, if you want to know more, it depends on whether you have the courage to stay in class A at midnight tonight."
Phil laren stood up, and as he passed by Duncan, he left another meaningful message,
"Do you want to be a stupid and useless pirate like them... Or a real valuable person? You've been wrong once, Duncan. This is your last chance."
With that, the chief officer clapped his hand on the sailor's shoulder twice, then staggered to class A with rum in his hand. Outside the window, there was a dull thunder. The storm finally came.
That night, Duncan was sleeping in the hammock, listening to the snoring of the sailors around him. He tossed and turned. Finally, he bit his teeth, got up from the hammock, carried the dim lantern, and walked into class A, which had been covered by the cold night rain.
There, a group is already waiting.
"Come here, Duncan!"
Phil laren's voice made the sailor recover. He quickly walked to those guys in black cloaks. One of them was Phil laren. Duncan took a look at the fire and was surprised to find that all the big men on the ship were among them. Like a sword, standing in the front was their captain, "mysterious Gibbs".
Everyone calls him that. He is a real mysterious guy and the first taboo of the ship. Anyone who dares to investigate the captain's secret will die the next day.
"Is this the person you recommended?"
Gibbs didn't answer. Phil laren nodded. "He's very young, he's good at martial arts, and he has a talent for sailing. Most of all, he's a smart man."
"Oh, a smart man, that's rare on this ship."
Mr. captain told a joke, but no one, no matter he or others, laughed. At this time, Duncan could see clearly the captain's dress. He didn't look like a pirate. His precious leather coat and command knife inlaid with gems made him look like a middle-aged old nobleman.
Temperament more like!
"What are you looking at? Boy
While Duncan was secretly watching Gibbs, a cold voice came out of the captain's mouth, which startled the poor young man. "Well, I've seen you, haven't I? Three years ago, on the sea to the north of the treasure coast, I defeated a rebellious blood sail pirate... By the way, you are one of the fugitives who jumped into the sea to escape. What's the name of that ship again... Nautilus? "
The sound made Duncan step back and sit on the deck soaked by the rain. The cold rain hit his frightened face. He finally knew the secret of the mysterious captain... Dark Lord! The Nautilus was sunk by the Dark Lord's flagship!
Oh, my God! It's the Dark Lord!
"Well, let the young man stand up, Phil laren. He looks scared."
Gibbs soon lost his interest. He waved his hand. There was a green light in his cold eyes. The first mate quickly pulled Duncan up from the deck, and then gave him a bottle of rum. The sailor took a few mouthfuls. This spicy liquid gave him new strength, maybe the entanglement of the past, maybe the impulse of the young people, He asked for the first time,
"Captain... Are you, are you..."
Gibbs was watching the approaching light, and he was suddenly disturbed by this problem. He turned to look at the frightened young man, and looked at him muttering, but he did not dare to say his guess. At this moment, Gibbs seemed to think of a joke. He split his mouth and laughed, and suddenly became gentle.
"Who is it? The Dark Lord
The name made Duncan's body tremble, then he nodded hard, his eyes full of expectation beyond fear... God, Dark Lord! The eternal legend of the South China Sea! Duncan never even thought that such a little man as himself would have a chance to stand in front of the legendary Dark Lord.
But he was obviously disappointed. Gibbs shook his head and said with emotion,
"No, boy, I'm not the Dark Lord."
Seeing that Duncan was a little disappointed, Phil laren patted him on the shoulder and said in a loud voice, "you are the number two figure of the Dark Lord fleet. Gibbs, the old sea wolf, the Viscount of the Principality of selamo, is commanding the powerful Banshee fleet, you fool."
"All right, all right! It's time to get down to business. Shut your child up, phillaren. The beasts don't care who he is
Gibbs shakes his hand and turns to look at the lights on the black island not far away. He strides to the edge of class A, where Lauren, the boatswain, has put down a small boat. Obviously, they are going to the island.
"Come on, Duncan."
Five minutes later, in the swaying water, the boat pulled in. Gibbs was the first to get out of the boat. Opposite them, more than a dozen figures hidden in the dark were waiting for them. The first one was a big bald head with bare upper body in the cold storm. Duncan saw a scar on his forehead at first sight. It's hard to imagine, Someone can survive this injury.
"You are two days later than last time!"
The tall, strong, fierce bald man stepped forward and whispered, "you've broken the agreement!"
"Well, what's the deal?"
In the face of this impolite question, Gibbs coldly countered, "who has an agreement with whom? Don't forget, if it wasn't for the personal friendship between your master and the Dark Lord, we wouldn't be here at all! Just because we respect Ms. Willard doesn't mean that I want to have friendship with you. It's her business that the lady is willing to help you, but it has nothing to do with us. We are just businessmen. "
"Know where you are, Grimson! You're just a real nobody, so don't play with me! "
"Bah!"
The big bald man named Grimson scolded fiercely, "damn businessman! A group of dirty pirates, without you, we can take gilness as well, and you can call Ms. velinda? It seems that I will teach you a lesson for your master. What is dignity and inferiority? "
With that, the savage big bald head moved his shoulders. Under the light of the lantern in his hand, Duncan could clearly see that all the muscles on the guy's body were shaking abnormally, and his face was twisted. In a long time of wolf howling, Grimson's body completely lost its human shape and turned into a white mane, Wolf man with sharp claws!
As a sailor, Duncan knows that werewolves are not just legends. These horrible creatures are growing rapidly in the self blockaded gilness country, but they are blocked by other countries.
The ten figures behind Grimson also changed quickly in the howl of the wolf, and then surrounded Gibbs and his party at a speed that Duncan could hardly see.
"Be careful! Mr. Gibbs
Duncan pulled out his waist knife, waved it wildly, stood in front of Gibbs, and yelled, "you beasts! get the hell out of here! Our guns can easily tear you up! "
"The beast?"
Grimson, who incarnated as a werewolf, grinned dangerously at Gibbs behind Duncan. "Your subordinates call us beasts? Do you want to see the fury of real beasts? "
Duncan, after all, is only a 24-year-old young man. In his previous life, the most dangerous opponents were those Naga who crawled out of the sea. But now, he has to fight with more than a dozen terrible werewolves. How can young people not be afraid? But the next moment, a palm with a black leather glove was on Duncan's shaking shoulder.
Gibbs bypasses the loyal subordinates. He looks at Grimson, and the green light in his eyes is more and more bright,
"Are you threatening me? Nandus probably doesn't know that his subordinates are doing a dangerous thing... For the sake of dear Ms. Willard, give you one last chance, Grimson, change back and continue our business! I can think that nothing has happened! "
