Naruto: I am not the villain
Chapter 61 Thor’s 1-move free chess
It's so pathetic, I don't know how he survived these days.
As an old man who has sailed across the sea for decades, the captain believes that he has rich sailing experience and has some knowledge of the treacherous sea.
He has hit rocks, sunk ships, encountered pirates, and played a guest role as a pirate. He has escaped life in a terrifying whirlpool, and has also braved the wind and waves.
In his eyes, even violent storms have become daily challenges. As for thunder?
Oh, as long as it doesn't wind or rain, you can hit me as you like, is it possible that you can still hit me on the head?
On the day he left the port, the captain thought with disdain when he saw the thunderclouds in the sky.
However, soon, reality slapped him twice.
At that time, when the thunderclouds were so solemn and dark, the captain was really panicked. Of course, he was worried about the possible coming storm.
After that, the thundercloud began to dissipate without much force, which surprised the captain and also made him feel a little lucky.
But not long after, the thunderclouds began to gather again. This change directly made the captain's heart rise again, and he never let go.
Because after being reminded by the crew, he finally saw the blue-white lightning beam that shot straight into the sky.
He vaguely guessed that this journey might not be peaceful.
To his surprise, the voyage over the past few days had been particularly peaceful.
The wind is gentle and the waves are gentle, the sky is clear and cloudless, and it’s a beautiful sea scenery with beautiful wind and sunshine...
Except for the lingering thundercloud above them.
The thunderclouds are sometimes big and sometimes small, and sometimes they gather and sometimes disperse. They do not always hang in the sky. However, once the blue light that shoots straight into the sky appears, the thick thunderclouds will always arrive as scheduled, just like flying a kite. The same thing, just hanging above their heads, making a silent rumbling sound.
If it was an ordinary thunder and lightning, maybe the captain would not be too nervous. After all, the clouds are floating in the sky and the ship is running on the sea. There is not much involvement between the two.
But the terrible thing is that this time there is a connection between them and the thundercloud, that is, the blue light!
Every time the captain looked up along the line of light, he was afraid that thunderbolts would strike down the line of light.
It's like a lightning rod!
The captain knew that this strange phenomenon must have been caused by the ninja master, maybe due to one of his practices.
The captain didn't know who Dong was, but he knew who Kado was. In his opinion, if Dong could subdue a ruthless person like Kado in a short period of time, then Dong must also be able to subdue him. Not easy to deal with.
What's more, in his opinion, what is Dong doing these days?
Control Thunder!
It's not like the captain doesn't know ninjas, but this kind of ability is far beyond the scope of ninjas he knows.
In his... no, in the inherent knowledge of all the crew members, beings who can manipulate the power of nature have a common name...
god!
In fact, some busybodies on the ship were already calling Dong "Thor" in private.
The captain knew about this, but he did not stop it. On the contrary, without daring to ask Dong to stop dangerous practice, all he could do was to pray with a group of crew members.
We are not praying to the "Wind God" for a smooth sailing, nor are we praying to the "Poseidon" for safety, but we are praying to a "Thunder God" who has never appeared before to avoid disaster!
In fact, this is to beg Dong to be careful when cultivating, and not to let the thunderous thunder bring them into a situation of no return.
It must be said that the captain was very smart and grasped the crux of the matter at once - as long as there was no problem in Dong, then this thunder would not fall!
The captain knew that their behavior of praying might not be of much use, but he still did it, and he led a group of crew members to do it regularly every day. In addition to a little psychological comfort and the illusory metaphysics, the more practical goal was to Flatter Dong.
As for the effect...
Not to mention the playful look in Dong’s eyes as he watched them praying devoutly, but just saying that they all survived, this is the greatest victory!
On this crisp autumn day, when the voyage suddenly came to an end, the captain really wanted to raise his head to the sky and breathe aloud to relieve the suffocation accumulated in his chest for many days.
But he held back.
He was afraid that his rude behavior would offend the distinguished guests on the ship, so he could only take a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.
inhale~exhale~
inhale~exhale~
Suck……
"captain!"
"Cough cough cough~" The sudden shout from behind disturbed the captain's breath, causing a short and loud cough.
"What's it called so early in the morning?" The captain turned around and shouted angrily.
When he turned around and took a closer look, his deputy was standing in front of him with an inexplicable smile on his face. Behind the deputy was a large group of Wu Yangyang's crew. Looking over, he saw that most of the crew were here. .
"You are...".
At first glance, the captain felt that this scene was very familiar, and then he suddenly realized: isn't this exactly the same as when he killed his captain and succeeded in taking over?
The captain suddenly felt horrified.
The same way of recruiting people, the same way of taking advantage of the captain to stand alone on the bow, and even the same weird smile on his face.
The only difference is that they are more bold than they were back then. Back then, they were fighting for the position in the depths of the sea, but here they were at the edge of the pier.
Facing this familiar scene, the captain's heart tightened: What are they going to do?Could it be that he wants to rebel?
As a "experienced person", the captain naturally substituted the things before him into his own previous experiences. Similarly, he also began to think of countermeasures based on his speculation about the situation.
Based on past experience, the captain knew that the more this situation happened, the less likely he was to show weakness.
He opened his shoulders, straightened his chest, stretched out his body, and showed off his majestic body as much as possible. At the same time, he also bluffed, pretending that nothing happened and cursed at them:
“You lazy idiots, if you don’t go to work, what are you doing here?
It's not time to take off your belt yet, is this a waste of time?
md, everyone was very lively when they robbed and visited the brothels. Now they have to do some work, but everyone is too lazy to act like a bastard.
We are about to arrive at the dock. Get everyone to where they should go. Hurry up and get to the shore and secure the boat, so as not to delay Ninja-sama’s important event! "
"This……"
The captain's words caused a commotion in the crowd. The crew looked at each other in confusion. Some of them seemed to want to leave, but more of them stopped and turned their attention to the first mate.
'It worked. Using the name of ninja can indeed suppress them! ! The captain was overjoyed. He felt that he had pulled the banner of winter and successfully suppressed this group of rebels.
But he also knew that this alone was not enough, so he threatened while the iron was hot: "Why are you still here? Waiting to die?
Let me tell you, none of us can afford to offend that ninja-sama.
If you let that adult know that it was your negligence that delayed the voyage, humph, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. When the time comes, no one can save you! "
The captain's words seemed to be addressed to the entire crew, but in fact, his eyes had been staring at the first mate. It was obvious that his main target of intimidation was the first mate whom he identified as " The culprit”.
At this moment, the first mate was really stressed.
On the one hand, most of the crew were looking at him from behind, hoping that he would come forward and say a few words. On the other hand, the captain seemed to have misunderstood something. He obviously talked to the captain with a smile on his face, but the captain not only stared at him with eager eyes. He looked at him with a threatening tone in his words, and he had the tendency to start filming if he didn't agree with him.
To be fair, the first mate was quite loyal to the captain. He wanted to just turn around and walk away, but after thinking about it, he realized that doing so would prove his loyalty, but in that case, his prestige among the crew would be destroyed. .
So, he decided to bite the bullet and explain to the captain, even if it might damage the captain's prestige.
However, that didn't seem like a big deal.
"Captain, we have no other purpose here. We just want to ask, do we still need to do today's routine prayers?"
"That's it?"
This moment really confused the captain. Only then did he remember that he had indeed given an order a few days ago. The general content was to ask them to pray together at this time, and he especially emphasized that it should continue until they docked.
"Yes, that's it. We haven't docked yet." The first mate answered truthfully.
The captain's nose was almost twisted with anger.
'Are you stupid?We'll dock in less than an hour. Why are you still here?My legs are almost weak from fear! '
The captain roared in his heart so much that he wanted to strangle the first mate to death.But he knew that he couldn't say these cowardly words, otherwise the farce that he had misunderstood might one day become a reality.
At this time, the captain also felt a little troubled. He found that his two orders were in conflict. No matter which side he denied, he would be laughed at by the lawless crew.
In desperation, the captain couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds. He could only choose the lesser of two powers and follow the current order. After all, it would look better to slap him in the face a few days ago than to slap him in the face now. .
So the captain turned and cursed:
"A bunch of idiots!
Why are everyone's minds so rigid? You are usually very smart when you are cheating and skating. Why are you so honest now?
We'll be there in more than half an hour. Do you have anything else in mind?
Besides, don’t you know why I ask you to pray sincerely?
It’s to prevent you, the evil scum, from being struck by thunder!
Take a good look, what day is it today?Where is this place?
Even though we are here, we are still praying..."
The captain was cursing happily, but he happened to see Dong walking out of the cabin at this time, so he immediately swallowed the "f*ck" he was about to blurt out and immediately changed his words: "It's also very good. "
Slap in the face?
The captain no longer cares, because the prerequisite for a slap in the face is to have a face to slap!
The captain quickly changed his face to a solemn and solemn face, looked at everyone kindly, like a magician preaching doctrine, and said seriously: "You have remembered my words, this is very good, I It's gratifying, but it's not enough.
You must remember that prayer is a very sacred thing. It cannot be done because of someone’s order. It is not a job, but a belief from our hearts. We must remain pious in our hearts and complete it spontaneously. It needs to..."
Hearing the captain's sudden teachings, the crew members were a little stunned, but soon, some smart people and some people looking around noticed something, and immediately pretended to be attentive to the teachings, as if they were listening carefully to the captain's words. Teaching.Some other people who were not very smart also imitated the example and quickly calmed down after being reminded by others.
The whole scene was very quiet, as if the students were listening attentively to the important lessons being inspected by the leaders, for fear of being spotted by someone for being too outstanding, which would bring misfortune.
As a result, the most eye-catching person in the scene was the captain standing at the front. The captain was complaining in his heart, but he did not dare to stop.
Because he discovered that Dong was actually "attracted" by his preaching.
Dong stood at the back of the crowd, listening to the captain brainwashing everyone with his arms folded, and it seemed that he was listening with great interest.
The captain couldn't figure out what Dong was thinking, so he had no choice but to continue talking.
He searched hard to recall the religious knowledge he had learned, and racked his brains to weave it into a language that fit the current situation, but this was only a drop in the bucket. After all, he was not a professional missionary now, so after delaying for a few minutes, He was at a loss for words.
"...Everyone must practice diligently, so that we can show our sincerity and gain the protection of the gods..."
After a lot of confusing and incoherent nonsense, the captain's mind had completely turned into a ball of mush. After spitting out the last bit about religious belief, the captain could no longer make up the story.
His mind went blank. He glanced at Dong. Well, his face was full of interest. Dong's expression seemed to be saying: Come on, I haven't heard enough.
The captain was panicked and subconsciously turned his attention to the crew, but this could not help him relieve the pressure, nor could it help him formulate words.
So, after experiencing what seemed to him to be a very long silence but actually only lasted for more than ten seconds, he felt his heart pounding, gritted his teeth, and faced Dong's expectant gaze of "urging the update" and said: "Come on, let's do it." Today’s prayer is to the great God of Thunder, and let him grant us infinite power, break through the shackles of difficulties and thorns blocking the road, and win endless glory and wealth!”
The captain finally finished speaking. He slowly turned around and prepared to lead everyone in a prayer ceremony.
But as he turned around, his heart slowly grew colder, because he found that Dong's expression had changed from "expectation" to "disappointment."
At this moment, a sudden realization appeared in the captain's mind: 'Yes, this is very close to the dock. With the ability of the ninja, we may not be needed at all.
I have long heard that ninjas are a group of people who cannot be judged by common sense. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!
Alas, my life is at an end! '
Thinking of this, the captain couldn't help but close his eyes to avoid the tears of fear and cowardice in his eyes.
The captain suddenly discovered that it turned out that he, who thought he had seen through life and death and only thought about a carefree life, would also feel anxious and panic when faced with the unstoppable arrival of death.
The captain suddenly thought, what would have happened if he had not followed the sailor's temptation and chose to go to sea?
Just then, a loud burst of applause interrupted the captain's memories.
clap, clap, clap...
The captain turned around and saw Dong applauding as he walked through the awed crowd and came to his side.
"What you said is very good, but we don't have to do that today. Let's get them to the shore quickly. It just so happens that during this time, I still have some things I want to talk to you about."
'Huh?No need to die! '
The captain felt relieved for a moment, and immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "I understand, little man."
Then he shouted to the crew: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and do it!"
There was actually a sense of joy in his voice!
Dong looked at the inexplicably happy captain in surprise, and murmured in his heart: "This guy's brain seems to be abnormal. In this case, can he do what he has to tell him?"
Otherwise, don't use him?There's no rush anyway.
Well, actually it doesn't matter if you use it for a while. Anyway, I don't have the right person on hand, so I can barely use it if I meet such a dabbler...'
While Dong was still struggling, the captain had already dispersed the crowd. He bowed slightly to Dong, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a stern look on his face: "Sir, everyone else has left. I don't know what you have to say. A villain’s?”
Dong came back to his senses, looked at the humble captain, smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Captain, listening to what you just said, it seems that you have a lot of experience in preaching?"
The captain quickly shook his head and said: "Where is it? I just practiced in a temple for a period of time when I was young. Later when I went to sea, I often participated in some sacrificial activities for the God of the Sea and the Dragon King, so I only know a little bit about it. Let you What a joke."
Dongzuo suddenly realized: "That's it, I didn't expect you to have this kind of experience before.
However, I am not very interested in the sacrifices. I want to know how much do you remember about brainwashing people... well, teaching people doctrines and absorbing believers? "
"This..." The captain was stunned, looking at Dong's earnest eyes. His scalp was a little numb, but he did not dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth quickly: "Sir, to be honest, these things were learned by the villain when he was a child. , these more than ten years have passed, and the villain has almost forgotten it."
Having said this, the captain secretly looked at Dong's expression.
Well, there was no expression. To be precise, it changed from a faint smile to an expressionless face.
The captain's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "But it's not bragging, it's better for me to remember. Although those things have not been used for many years, as long as you give me a little time, I will definitely be able to remember them. .”
"oh, I see."
Dong nodded, then fell into thought.
The captain stood aside in fear, not daring to breathe. He knew that the moment to decide his fate was coming.
Not long after, Dong weighed the pros and cons, and then said slowly: "In that case, you should brush up on that knowledge these days. No matter whether you can use it in the future, learning more knowledge is always useful."
After saying that, Dong patted the captain on the shoulder.
The captain felt relieved, knowing that he would not die.
"I will remember your instructions carefully. After getting off the boat, I will go buy books. I will remember all the previous knowledge as soon as possible."
"Very good." Dong said cheerfully, "By the way, after all these days, I still don't know your name."
"The mean name of a villain stops the power of the moon."
"!"
Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhi Yuewei's whole body in surprise. He looked like a man with a strong back and a strong waist, but he had this humble attitude...
"Your name...isn't mean at all! It matches your appearance quite well, but with your appearance...you won't be like this in front of Cardo, right?"
Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was not so bad, Zhi Yuewei's heroic spirit that belonged to a man from the sea also revived a little bit.
'Isn't this **** scared by you? '
Well, this is just his mental activity, what he said is:
"The villain came up with this name after he returned to secular life. If you are not satisfied, you can change it immediately.
Actually, don't look at me like this in front of you, but in front of others, I can definitely live up to that word of authority and will never embarrass you.
As for Cardo, to be honest, in name, this ship is Cardo's property, but in fact, this ship has always been mine. I used to work alone, but later I felt that there was no future, so I joined Cardo. With many shipping companies, this ship became Cardo's name, and I became Cardo's subordinate.
In fact, we are just partners. Because of my position and power, I can obey his orders, but he can't even think of telling me what to do.
You also know that in these days, people like us are not born on this sea. His little brothers only scare ordinary people, but it doesn't work for me.
Only in the presence of an extraordinary person like you can I be impressed by your majesty and power. "
There are obvious deviations between Zhiyuewei's words and Cardo's words, but based on the situation at hand, it seems that Cardo's words are more credible. This ship has most likely become Cardo's property, otherwise Zhiyuewei would also He would not obey Cardo's orders to escort himself, the god of plague, and it is easy to think of the reason why Zhi Yuewei lied. Zuo just wanted to increase his own worth.
"That's right." Dong Lan didn't want to expose Zhi Yuewei's lie and looked at him with a half-smile: "It seems that you are afraid of me?"
Zhi Yuewei's head immediately shook like a rattle, and he denied: "No, no, no, it's not fear, it's awe!
The villain admires your power, because that power is so vast that I cannot have any strange thoughts. Likewise, because that power is too strong, it is so strong that I only need a little bit of it to make me think. Losing my life makes me afraid.
However, I am not just simply afraid, I also want to follow you and borrow a little bit of your power and prestige to satisfy my own selfish desires. "
When Zhi Yuewei was speaking, Dong narrowed his eyes and kept observing Zhi Yuewei's eyes and expression carefully, trying to verify whether his words were spoken from the bottom of his heart or forced by the situation.
In fact, if Dong chose to use Sharingan, then he could easily change Zhiyuewei into what he wanted, but he did not choose this way.
In fact, from the beginning, Dong's attitude towards Sharingan was obvious: it can be used but not relied on.
The Sharingan is indeed very convenient, but you should not rely on it. If conditions permit, especially in non-combat situations, try not to use it if you can.
As for why, it’s the same old-fashioned reason.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is like a time bomb, and you never know whether you will be blind one day.
Dong is very ambitious, he doesn't want to become nothing without the Sharingan.
Of course, Dong is still very measured, and he is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to using the kaleidoscope.
However, if he was dealing with someone like Zhi Yuewei who was not even ranked in casual chess, then Dong wouldn't mind practicing his basic abilities.
Just like now, Dong is exercising his observation and leadership skills.
Perhaps Dong's observation and psychological interpretation skills are not enough, or perhaps Zhi Yuewei is really attracted by Dong's charm and force.In short, after carefully observing Zhiyuewei, Dong found no flaws. Zhiyuewei was indeed loyal to him, but...
Dong sneered in his heart: Not just any cat or dog is qualified to swear allegiance to him. Only those who have proven their worth can be qualified to become his direct subordinates.
The Zhi Yuewei in front of him was just a merchant ship captain who worked part-time in freight, smuggling, and robbery. He obviously did not have such qualifications.
However, Dong couldn't directly refute Zhi Yuewei, lest he dampen his enthusiasm.
So, Dong pretended not to understand Zhi Yuewei's code word and skipped the topic. He looked at the dock nearby and talked about the city's relevant information.
"Do you know about this island?"
To be fair, Zhi Yuewei was somewhat resistant to the idea of being loyal to Xiang Dong. Every sea man had a bohemian soul. For them to swear allegiance to someone to the death would be equivalent to shackles on themselves, which would definitely make them feel uncomfortable.
But he knows that Dong is not something he can disobey. Now that the words have been said, he must express his intention to follow. If he pretends to be confused...
Haha, he didn't dare to risk his head on whether Dong was an easy person to talk to.
In line with the desire to survive, Zhi Yuewei obeyed his heart. When Dong Gu talked about him, Zhi Yuewei was relieved that he didn't have to sell his soul, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed.
He was not stupid, he had vaguely guessed that the reason why Dong didn't express his position was probably because he didn't like him.
Obviously, the reality that people want you without hesitation is more frustrating than selling your free soul.
However, he was still disappointed, so he didn't dare to complain to Dong. After hearing Dong's question, he put all these emotions behind him and introduced the island to Dong wholeheartedly.
"Sir, when it comes to this island, it has a history..."
This question happened to hit Zhi Yuewei's strengths. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to introduce it nonstop. He started with the current building layout, then introduced the power distribution of the city, and then extended it to the entire water. country, until the ship docked, he only talked about a small part of the customs and customs here.
"Okay, let's stop here." After the ship docked smoothly and the boatman put the pedals, Dong interrupted the captain, "Your mission is over, but don't forget your promise. I This person hates being fooled by others."
The captain quickly expressed his position: "Sir, don't worry, I will work harder."
Dong didn't speak, just nodded, then got off the boat and left. Under the captain's gaze, Dong's figure was soon submerged in the surging crowd.
Seeing Dong finally leaving, the first mate who had been sent away immediately approached the captain whose eyes were dull.
"Captain, we finally sent this old man away. My brothers are almost exhausted these days. Do you think you want us to go...have fun?"
After saying this, the first mate showed a very wretched and salty smile.
The captain said absently: "Well, that's fine, you go ahead."
"Huh? You're not going?" the first mate was shocked.
"I won't go. I have more important things to do, and I have no intention of doing those things."
The first mate felt that the captain's change might be related to Dong, so he looked around again to make sure that Dong was really not around, and then he cautiously asked: "Captain, is there anything you need me to do?"
"No, no one else can help me with what I want to do."
The first mate's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked tentatively: "What can only be done by you alone?"
The captain's face was full of desolation, and the ravines on his face became deeper and deeper. He looked at the prosperous dock with vicissitudes of life, so close yet so far away.
The captain sighed and said bitterly:
"Read a book! Study!"
As an old man who has sailed across the sea for decades, the captain believes that he has rich sailing experience and has some knowledge of the treacherous sea.
He has hit rocks, sunk ships, encountered pirates, and played a guest role as a pirate. He has escaped life in a terrifying whirlpool, and has also braved the wind and waves.
In his eyes, even violent storms have become daily challenges. As for thunder?
Oh, as long as it doesn't wind or rain, you can hit me as you like, is it possible that you can still hit me on the head?
On the day he left the port, the captain thought with disdain when he saw the thunderclouds in the sky.
However, soon, reality slapped him twice.
At that time, when the thunderclouds were so solemn and dark, the captain was really panicked. Of course, he was worried about the possible coming storm.

In his... no, in the inherent knowledge of all the crew members, beings who can manipulate the power of nature have a common name...
god!
In fact, some busybodies on the ship were already calling Dong "Thor" in private.
The captain knew about this, but he did not stop it. On the contrary, without daring to ask Dong to stop dangerous practice, all he could do was to pray with a group of crew members.
We are not praying to the "Wind God" for a smooth sailing, nor are we praying to the "Poseidon" for safety, but we are praying to a "Thunder God" who has never appeared before to avoid disaster!
In fact, this is to beg Dong to be careful when cultivating, and not to let the thunderous thunder bring them into a situation of no return.
It must be said that the captain was very smart and grasped the crux of the matter at once - as long as there was no problem in Dong, then this thunder would not fall!
The captain knew that their behavior of praying might not be of much use, but he still did it, and he led a group of crew members to do it regularly every day. In addition to a little psychological comfort and the illusory metaphysics, the more practical goal was to Flatter Dong.
As for the effect...
Not to mention the playful look in Dong’s eyes as he watched them praying devoutly, but just saying that they all survived, this is the greatest victory!
On this crisp autumn day, when the voyage suddenly came to an end, the captain really wanted to raise his head to the sky and breathe aloud to relieve the suffocation accumulated in his chest for many days.
But he held back.
He was afraid that his rude behavior would offend the distinguished guests on the ship, so he could only take a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.

When he turned around and took a closer look, his deputy was standing in front of him with an inexplicable smile on his face. Behind the deputy was a large group of Wu Yangyang's crew. Looking over, he saw that most of the crew were here. .

The captain's words caused a commotion in the crowd. The crew looked at each other in confusion. Some of them seemed to want to leave, but more of them stopped and turned their attention to the first mate.
'It worked. Using the name of ninja can indeed suppress them! ! The captain was overjoyed. He felt that he had pulled the banner of winter and successfully suppressed this group of rebels.
But he also knew that this alone was not enough, so he threatened while the iron was hot: "Why are you still here? Waiting to die?
Let me tell you, none of us can afford to offend that ninja-sama.
If you let that adult know that it was your negligence that delayed the voyage, humph, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. When the time comes, no one can save you! "
The captain's words seemed to be addressed to the entire crew, but in fact, his eyes had been staring at the first mate. It was obvious that his main target of intimidation was the first mate whom he identified as " The culprit”.
At this moment, the first mate was really stressed.
On the one hand, most of the crew were looking at him from behind, hoping that he would come forward and say a few words. On the other hand, the captain seemed to have misunderstood something. He obviously talked to the captain with a smile on his face, but the captain not only stared at him with eager eyes. He looked at him with a threatening tone in his words, and he had the tendency to start filming if he didn't agree with him.
To be fair, the first mate was quite loyal to the captain. He wanted to just turn around and walk away, but after thinking about it, he realized that doing so would prove his loyalty, but in that case, his prestige among the crew would be destroyed. .
So, he decided to bite the bullet and explain to the captain, even if it might damage the captain's prestige.
However, that didn't seem like a big deal.
"Captain, we have no other purpose here. We just want to ask, do we still need to do today's routine prayers?"
"That's it?"
This moment really confused the captain. Only then did he remember that he had indeed given an order a few days ago. The general content was to ask them to pray together at this time, and he especially emphasized that it should continue until they docked.
"Yes, that's it. We haven't docked yet." The first mate answered truthfully.
The captain's nose was almost twisted with anger.
'Are you stupid?We'll dock in less than an hour. Why are you still here?My legs are almost weak from fear! '
The captain roared in his heart so much that he wanted to strangle the first mate to death.But he knew that he couldn't say these cowardly words, otherwise the farce that he had misunderstood might one day become a reality.
At this time, the captain also felt a little troubled. He found that his two orders were in conflict. No matter which side he denied, he would be laughed at by the lawless crew.
In desperation, the captain couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds. He could only choose the lesser of two powers and follow the current order. After all, it would look better to slap him in the face a few days ago than to slap him in the face now. .
So the captain turned and cursed:
"A bunch of idiots!
Why are everyone's minds so rigid? You are usually very smart when you are cheating and skating. Why are you so honest now?
We'll be there in more than half an hour. Do you have anything else in mind?
Besides, don’t you know why I ask you to pray sincerely?
It’s to prevent you, the evil scum, from being struck by thunder!
Take a good look, what day is it today?Where is this place?
Even though we are here, we are still praying..."
The captain was cursing happily, but he happened to see Dong walking out of the cabin at this time, so he immediately swallowed the "f*ck" he was about to blurt out and immediately changed his words: "It's also very good. "
Slap in the face?
The captain no longer cares, because the prerequisite for a slap in the face is to have a face to slap!
The captain quickly changed his face to a solemn and solemn face, looked at everyone kindly, like a magician preaching doctrine, and said seriously: "You have remembered my words, this is very good, I It's gratifying, but it's not enough.
You must remember that prayer is a very sacred thing. It cannot be done because of someone’s order. It is not a job, but a belief from our hearts. We must remain pious in our hearts and complete it spontaneously. It needs to..."
Hearing the captain's sudden teachings, the crew members were a little stunned, but soon, some smart people and some people looking around noticed something, and immediately pretended to be attentive to the teachings, as if they were listening carefully to the captain's words. Teaching.Some other people who were not very smart also imitated the example and quickly calmed down after being reminded by others.
The whole scene was very quiet, as if the students were listening attentively to the important lessons being inspected by the leaders, for fear of being spotted by someone for being too outstanding, which would bring misfortune.
As a result, the most eye-catching person in the scene was the captain standing at the front. The captain was complaining in his heart, but he did not dare to stop.
Because he discovered that Dong was actually "attracted" by his preaching.
Dong stood at the back of the crowd, listening to the captain brainwashing everyone with his arms folded, and it seemed that he was listening with great interest.
The captain couldn't figure out what Dong was thinking, so he had no choice but to continue talking.
He searched hard to recall the religious knowledge he had learned, and racked his brains to weave it into a language that fit the current situation, but this was only a drop in the bucket. After all, he was not a professional missionary now, so after delaying for a few minutes, He was at a loss for words.
"...Everyone must practice diligently, so that we can show our sincerity and gain the protection of the gods..."
After a lot of confusing and incoherent nonsense, the captain's mind had completely turned into a ball of mush. After spitting out the last bit about religious belief, the captain could no longer make up the story.
His mind went blank. He glanced at Dong. Well, his face was full of interest. Dong's expression seemed to be saying: Come on, I haven't heard enough.
The captain was panicked and subconsciously turned his attention to the crew, but this could not help him relieve the pressure, nor could it help him formulate words.
So, after experiencing what seemed to him to be a very long silence but actually only lasted for more than ten seconds, he felt his heart pounding, gritted his teeth, and faced Dong's expectant gaze of "urging the update" and said: "Come on, let's do it." Today’s prayer is to the great God of Thunder, and let him grant us infinite power, break through the shackles of difficulties and thorns blocking the road, and win endless glory and wealth!”
The captain finally finished speaking. He slowly turned around and prepared to lead everyone in a prayer ceremony.
But as he turned around, his heart slowly grew colder, because he found that Dong's expression had changed from "expectation" to "disappointment."
At this moment, a sudden realization appeared in the captain's mind: 'Yes, this is very close to the dock. With the ability of the ninja, we may not be needed at all.
I have long heard that ninjas are a group of people who cannot be judged by common sense. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!
Alas, my life is at an end! '
Thinking of this, the captain couldn't help but close his eyes to avoid the tears of fear and cowardice in his eyes.
The captain suddenly discovered that it turned out that he, who thought he had seen through life and death and only thought about a carefree life, would also feel anxious and panic when faced with the unstoppable arrival of death.
The captain suddenly thought, what would have happened if he had not followed the sailor's temptation and chose to go to sea?
Just then, a loud burst of applause interrupted the captain's memories.
clap, clap, clap...
The captain turned around and saw Dong applauding as he walked through the awed crowd and came to his side.
"What you said is very good, but we don't have to do that today. Let's get them to the shore quickly. It just so happens that during this time, I still have some things I want to talk to you about."
'Huh?No need to die! '
The captain felt relieved for a moment, and immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "I understand, little man."
Then he shouted to the crew: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and do it!"
There was actually a sense of joy in his voice!
Dong looked at the inexplicably happy captain in surprise, and murmured in his heart: "This guy's brain seems to be abnormal. In this case, can he do what he has to tell him?"
Otherwise, don't use him?There's no rush anyway.
Well, actually it doesn't matter if you use it for a while. Anyway, I don't have the right person on hand, so I can barely use it if I meet such a dabbler...'
While Dong was still struggling, the captain had already dispersed the crowd. He bowed slightly to Dong, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a stern look on his face: "Sir, everyone else has left. I don't know what you have to say. A villain’s?”
Dong came back to his senses, looked at the humble captain, smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Captain, listening to what you just said, it seems that you have a lot of experience in preaching?"
The captain quickly shook his head and said: "Where is it? I just practiced in a temple for a period of time when I was young. Later when I went to sea, I often participated in some sacrificial activities for the God of the Sea and the Dragon King, so I only know a little bit about it. Let you What a joke."
Dongzuo suddenly realized: "That's it, I didn't expect you to have this kind of experience before.
However, I am not very interested in the sacrifices. I want to know how much do you remember about brainwashing people... well, teaching people doctrines and absorbing believers? "
"This..." The captain was stunned, looking at Dong's earnest eyes. His scalp was a little numb, but he did not dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth quickly: "Sir, to be honest, these things were learned by the villain when he was a child. , these more than ten years have passed, and the villain has almost forgotten it."
Having said this, the captain secretly looked at Dong's expression.
Well, there was no expression. To be precise, it changed from a faint smile to an expressionless face.
The captain's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "But it's not bragging, it's better for me to remember. Although those things have not been used for many years, as long as you give me a little time, I will definitely be able to remember them. .”
"oh, I see."
Dong nodded, then fell into thought.
The captain stood aside in fear, not daring to breathe. He knew that the moment to decide his fate was coming.
Not long after, Dong weighed the pros and cons, and then said slowly: "In that case, you should brush up on that knowledge these days. No matter whether you can use it in the future, learning more knowledge is always useful."
After saying that, Dong patted the captain on the shoulder.
The captain felt relieved, knowing that he would not die.
"I will remember your instructions carefully. After getting off the boat, I will go buy books. I will remember all the previous knowledge as soon as possible."
"Very good." Dong said cheerfully, "By the way, after all these days, I still don't know your name."
"The mean name of a villain stops the power of the moon."
"!"
Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhi Yuewei's whole body in surprise. He looked like a man with a strong back and a strong waist, but he had this humble attitude...
"Your name...isn't mean at all! It matches your appearance quite well, but with your appearance...you won't be like this in front of Cardo, right?"
Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was not so bad, Zhi Yuewei's heroic spirit that belonged to a man from the sea also revived a little bit.
'Isn't this **** scared by you? '
Well, this is just his mental activity, what he said is:
"The villain came up with this name after he returned to secular life. If you are not satisfied, you can change it immediately.
Actually, don't look at me like this in front of you, but in front of others, I can definitely live up to that word of authority and will never embarrass you.
As for Cardo, to be honest, in name, this ship is Cardo's property, but in fact, this ship has always been mine. I used to work alone, but later I felt that there was no future, so I joined Cardo. With many shipping companies, this ship became Cardo's name, and I became Cardo's subordinate.
In fact, we are just partners. Because of my position and power, I can obey his orders, but he can't even think of telling me what to do.
You also know that in these days, people like us are not born on this sea. His little brothers only scare ordinary people, but it doesn't work for me.
Only in the presence of an extraordinary person like you can I be impressed by your majesty and power. "
There are obvious deviations between Zhiyuewei's words and Cardo's words, but based on the situation at hand, it seems that Cardo's words are more credible. This ship has most likely become Cardo's property, otherwise Zhiyuewei would also He would not obey Cardo's orders to escort himself, the god of plague, and it is easy to think of the reason why Zhi Yuewei lied. Zuo just wanted to increase his own worth.
"That's right." Dong Lan didn't want to expose Zhi Yuewei's lie and looked at him with a half-smile: "It seems that you are afraid of me?"
Zhi Yuewei's head immediately shook like a rattle, and he denied: "No, no, no, it's not fear, it's awe!
The villain admires your power, because that power is so vast that I cannot have any strange thoughts. Likewise, because that power is too strong, it is so strong that I only need a little bit of it to make me think. Losing my life makes me afraid.
However, I am not just simply afraid, I also want to follow you and borrow a little bit of your power and prestige to satisfy my own selfish desires. "
When Zhi Yuewei was speaking, Dong narrowed his eyes and kept observing Zhi Yuewei's eyes and expression carefully, trying to verify whether his words were spoken from the bottom of his heart or forced by the situation.
In fact, if Dong chose to use Sharingan, then he could easily change Zhiyuewei into what he wanted, but he did not choose this way.
In fact, from the beginning, Dong's attitude towards Sharingan was obvious: it can be used but not relied on.
The Sharingan is indeed very convenient, but you should not rely on it. If conditions permit, especially in non-combat situations, try not to use it if you can.
As for why, it’s the same old-fashioned reason.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is like a time bomb, and you never know whether you will be blind one day.
Dong is very ambitious, he doesn't want to become nothing without the Sharingan.
Of course, Dong is still very measured, and he is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to using the kaleidoscope.
However, if he was dealing with someone like Zhi Yuewei who was not even ranked in casual chess, then Dong wouldn't mind practicing his basic abilities.
Just like now, Dong is exercising his observation and leadership skills.
Perhaps Dong's observation and psychological interpretation skills are not enough, or perhaps Zhi Yuewei is really attracted by Dong's charm and force.In short, after carefully observing Zhiyuewei, Dong found no flaws. Zhiyuewei was indeed loyal to him, but...
Dong sneered in his heart: Not just any cat or dog is qualified to swear allegiance to him. Only those who have proven their worth can be qualified to become his direct subordinates.
The Zhi Yuewei in front of him was just a merchant ship captain who worked part-time in freight, smuggling, and robbery. He obviously did not have such qualifications.
However, Dong couldn't directly refute Zhi Yuewei, lest he dampen his enthusiasm.
So, Dong pretended not to understand Zhi Yuewei's code word and skipped the topic. He looked at the dock nearby and talked about the city's relevant information.
"Do you know about this island?"
To be fair, Zhi Yuewei was somewhat resistant to the idea of being loyal to Xiang Dong. Every sea man had a bohemian soul. For them to swear allegiance to someone to the death would be equivalent to shackles on themselves, which would definitely make them feel uncomfortable.
But he knows that Dong is not something he can disobey. Now that the words have been said, he must express his intention to follow. If he pretends to be confused...
Haha, he didn't dare to risk his head on whether Dong was an easy person to talk to.
In line with the desire to survive, Zhi Yuewei obeyed his heart. When Dong Gu talked about him, Zhi Yuewei was relieved that he didn't have to sell his soul, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed.
He was not stupid, he had vaguely guessed that the reason why Dong didn't express his position was probably because he didn't like him.
Obviously, the reality that people want you without hesitation is more frustrating than selling your free soul.
However, he was still disappointed, so he didn't dare to complain to Dong. After hearing Dong's question, he put all these emotions behind him and introduced the island to Dong wholeheartedly.
"Sir, when it comes to this island, it has a history..."
This question happened to hit Zhi Yuewei's strengths. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to introduce it nonstop. He started with the current building layout, then introduced the power distribution of the city, and then extended it to the entire water. country, until the ship docked, he only talked about a small part of the customs and customs here.
"Okay, let's stop here." After the ship docked smoothly and the boatman put the pedals, Dong interrupted the captain, "Your mission is over, but don't forget your promise. I This person hates being fooled by others."
The captain quickly expressed his position: "Sir, don't worry, I will work harder."
Dong didn't speak, just nodded, then got off the boat and left. Under the captain's gaze, Dong's figure was soon submerged in the surging crowd.
Seeing Dong finally leaving, the first mate who had been sent away immediately approached the captain whose eyes were dull.
"Captain, we finally sent this old man away. My brothers are almost exhausted these days. Do you think you want us to go...have fun?"
After saying this, the first mate showed a very wretched and salty smile.
The captain said absently: "Well, that's fine, you go ahead."
"Huh? You're not going?" the first mate was shocked.
"I won't go. I have more important things to do, and I have no intention of doing those things."
The first mate felt that the captain's change might be related to Dong, so he looked around again to make sure that Dong was really not around, and then he cautiously asked: "Captain, is there anything you need me to do?"
"No, no one else can help me with what I want to do."
The first mate's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked tentatively: "What can only be done by you alone?"
The captain's face was full of desolation, and the ravines on his face became deeper and deeper. He looked at the prosperous dock with vicissitudes of life, so close yet so far away.
The captain sighed and said bitterly:
"Read a book! Study!"
