Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

Legend has it that all the way north from Kanas, there is an archipelago deep in the mist of the endless sea, collectively called Ya Island.

Many years ago, there used to be a deserted island used by the southern countries to exile prisoners.

Later, the Norman Kingdom set off a war and began to unify the southern continent. During the war, this island attracted more and more homeless people, fugitive criminals, exiled nobles who were exterminated...and pirates.

They started to group together in an organized way, and then plundered the sea, gradually becoming a powerful pirate group.

After the unification of the Norman dynasty, they sent fleets to Yadao many times to attack, but they all returned without success.

Ya Island eventually became a habitat for pirates and a paradise for desperadoes.

Because there are often large groups of crows entrenched above the archipelago, it was later called Crow Island.

If a businessman encounters stragglers from the non-crow island group who are not in the climate when sailing, he can still bite his head and give it a try.

But if you encounter a big pirate from Crow Island, you can only pray that they will leave everyone with a dead body.

Those desperadoes like to kill people with a knife, leaving no one alive.

Of course, unless you get lucky and run into a wonderful gang that basically doesn't kill people but only steals money - the Ximeng Pirates.

However, Ximeng has not come out for business for several years. Many people think that because their painting style does not match Yadao, they were eliminated by other groups.

Unfortunately, what Qiao Yi and the others encountered was most likely a group of pirates from Crow Island.

Just looking at the size of that big ship, it is not something that ordinary small group of pirates can own.

Starov, who ran out in a hurry without even putting on his clothes, stared at the huge pirate ship gradually emerging from the mist, his lips turned pale with fright.

Those bastards on Raven Island don't care if you're shipping for the kingdom or sailing for the elves.

They were so courageous that they dared to pretend to be merchant ships, go to the port of the king's capital to burn, kill and loot, and immediately shielded themselves to provoke and mock the dynasty's previous attacks on them.

"Go back, go back to the cabin." Starov pushed Qiao Yi and Lando back into the cabin, with an unprecedented serious expression: "Don't come out."

As he said that, he lifted the bed board again, and there was a space on the bed board that could accommodate two people.

"If they start killing people, you should hide here first. Wait for them... When they kill enough, they will usually drag the boat back to Crow Island before unloading."

"You can wait until dark to disembark quietly. Going west from Crow Island, there is a reef. There will be merchant ships passing by there."

When he was an ordinary sailor ten years ago, he used this method to escape from the tiger's mouth.

He took out a silver key from his pocket and stuffed it into Rando's hand: "If you survive, I ask you to go to the Marie Almshouse in Canas and take it to find the dean Mary. She know what to do."

After Stalov finished speaking, he walked out.

Chaos had begun on the deck.

"What about you?" Joe asked.

"I want to be with my crew." Starov waved his hand: "Besides, without the captain, they would be suspicious. I can't let guests have accidents on my ship."

On the other side, the big pirate ship in the mist has gradually shown a hideous appearance.

Starov's small merchant ship is like a child facing a beast in front of this big ship made for plunder.

Face-to-face encounters are inevitable.

Even if the sailors tried their best to turn around and try to escape, it was of no avail.

In the distance, the bow of the pirate ship was lit with fire, and the low-pitched horn sounded on the sea.

Pirates have found them!

After the initial panic and despair, the sailors showed a kind of calmness and cohesion at this time.

They took up the knife, led by Stalov.

Those knives had killed small bands of pirates several times.

And this was the first time they faced a formidable enemy from Crow Island.

Qiao Yi and Lando were in the cabin, but they didn't intend to stand by.

Lando picked up his bow and arrows, a short sword strapped to his lap under his robe.

And Joe Yi, apart from taking out the sword that Old Gener strongly urged him to carry, has already been secretly browsing the weapon rental page in the mall: light machine gun + 200 rounds of bullets (15-day rental period): 30 life expectancy

Assault gun + 200 rounds of ammunition (15-day rental period): 30-day lifespan

RPG rocket launcher + 20 rounds of shells (rental period of 5 days): 95 days of life

……

And in Qiao Yi's personal information column, the life expectancy shows 96 days and 18 hours.

To be honest, Qiao Yi really wanted to build an RPG, so he boldly bombarded the other side with flowers all over his face.

But obviously this is unrealistic.

Because after having fun, he has to enter the real countdown to life, which is not cost-effective.

And the only lifespan item in the item bar, "Christine's Thanks - 20-day lifespan" item can only be given to others, and cannot be used for oneself.

This made Joe very uncomfortable.

He can only choose between submachine guns and light machine guns.

——Even so, Qiao Yi felt that the sudden loss of one-third of his life still made him panic.

As for whether pulling out a big guy in front of Lando on the spot will cause any trouble...

Qiao Yi didn't care anymore.

My life is almost gone, so is there any point in rectifying those falsehoods?

Anyway, I already showed my hand when I gave Lenny a beautiful dream, so it shouldn't be a big problem to make something out now,... right?

Outside, the pirate ship was getting closer.

The sailors on the deck could even see the outlines of the pirates who were waving knives and screaming at the bow of the opposite ship.

Under Lando's gaze pretending not to see, Qiao Yi dragged a light machine gun out with a sword hanging on his waist.

To be honest, although this thing is called a light machine gun, it is actually quite heavy.

In the end, Lando couldn't stand it and helped Joe carry it.

As soon as Lando and Joe reached Starov's side, the pirates on the opposite side began to shout.

But the distance is a bit far, I can't hear clearly.

Starov watched them come out, his face turned green: "I told you not to come out! Go back! Just treat it as a key for me, okay?"

"Do your own thing." Joe threw the key back into Stalov's arms.

He didn't think that those flesh and blood wielding cold weapons could escape the punishment of light machine guns.

It is true that Qiao Yi can choose to let Stalov and the sailors go to die, and then hide himself and Lando and escape sneakily.

But exchanging hundreds of other people's lives for his own life, once Joe couldn't do it, Lando couldn't accept it either.

Stalov held the key in a daze for a while,

Then he became even angrier, and shouted loudly:

"The key is to open the basement of my house! Dean Mary wants to open the basement to give pensions to the crew members' families! We are all dead, who will give them money!?"

Joe froze for a moment.

Since he trusted her so much, why did he give her the key before leaving the sea?

As if seeing Qiao Yi's doubts, Stalov said:

"She kept it when I went to sea before. If she is sure..., she will open the basement."

He scratched his hair irritably: "But I... I went to the basement two days ago, and then I forgot to give it to her."

"I didn't expect that this time I was so 'good' that I ran into it."

Starov clenched the knife in his hand, staring at the approaching pirate ship, his eyes were a little fierce.

Qiao Yi and Lando looked at Stalov and the crew members behind him who also looked at death like home, and fell silent for a while.

"We will all survive." Joe patted Starov on the shoulder: "Trust me."

He turned his head and looked at the elf beside him: "Rando, right?"

Lando nodded, the palm of his hand was filled with light, and the vines grew wildly: "Yes, yes."

Soon, the pirate ship caught up with the merchant ship.

It was nearly three times the size of a merchant ship, and the big ship with a ram on its bow could almost crush the poor merchant ship in one go.

They could already see faces on the opposite bow, illuminated by torches.

The leader was actually a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

The boy was wearing a big flamboyant hat and a one-eyed patch, holding a sword and shouting something loudly.

Qiao Yi set up the machine gun and pointed it at the group of figures.

No matter what he looks like, if he wants my life, even if you are as beautiful as a fairy, you have to die for your father to meet Lord Hades.

It's getting closer, and soon, it will be within range.

As soon as Qiao held the cold handle, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the soles of his feet felt cold, his heart beat faster, and his fingers trembled slightly.

He is afraid.

He wasn't afraid of those pirates, but... killing people.

As a good citizen who has obeyed the law for 20 years, Joe never dared to think about killing people.

When the bloody limbs that were almost torn apart after being hit by bullets in the movie began to pop up uncontrollably in his mind, Qiao Yi's stomach began to churn.

Sometimes, too much brain power is not a good thing.

The shouting on the other side finally became clear:

"Listen to the merchant ships opposite, you are surrounded by us—"

"Put down your weapons and surrender, you still have a chance to survive—"

"We don't want to kill people, we just want money—"

"As long as you don't resist, we won't kill—"

"..."

Joe actually wanted to laugh when he heard it.

Do pirates also engage in Huairou?

No matter how unreliable it sounds.

Starov and his crew were unimpressed.

Lando and Joe stared at each other with a murderous look.

Then the leading boy on the opposite side continued to shout:

"listen--"

"Don't be impulsive - impulsive is the devil -"

"Although there has been no shadow of us in the sea in recent years, there must be our legend—"

Qiao Yi: Why is this person so verbose?

"You must have heard our name—"

"We are Ximeng—"

Joe One: ...?real or fake?

Starov:!

The crew:! …

Joe looked at Lando, Lando shook his head slightly.

That means, he doesn't know if it's true or not.

Joe went to see Stalov again.

Stalov was looking at the opposite flag.

The boy on the opposite side turned his head, looked at the big skull flag on the boat, and kicked a man next to him with a black face on the ass: "I don't even know if the flag is hung wrong? Get out and change it!"

The man didn't dare to make a sound, and ran away staggeringly.

After a while,

With a "crash", a new huge flag like a sail was unfurled.

On the black bunting, a huge...gold coin was printed brightly and conspicuously.

And it's embroidered with gold threads, golden coins.

Simple and crude.

Starov breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted to the opposite side:

"We are willing to hand over all the goods and gold coins, as long as you don't kill people!"

The opposite side replied: "Ximeng's reputation is well known in the sea. As long as you don't do it, we won't do it."

Stalov didn't let everyone put down their knives, but only asked a few sailors to go to the warehouse to move money, but said in his mouth, "Yes, I believe it."

Qiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief for the bloody scene of the bloodbath that did not appear, and gave Stalov a look: Is this the end?

Starov nodded:

In theory it should be over.

Qiao Yi's hanging heart fell to the ground a little, and suddenly it ached again.

Grass!

Then my 30 days of life is not wasted? ? !

Can I suddenly kill the pirate on the opposite side now?

No.

Probably he will be hunted down by Quan Hai in the future, and those lunatics may even go to the Storm Collar.

Unless he kills everyone on the opposite side, and bribes all Starov's crew to shut up.

As soon as Joe put down the heavy big thing, there was a click, and his heart hurt so much that he wanted to cry.

The movement attracted the attention of the boy opposite.

His eyes turned around on Qiao Yi and Lando, and then suddenly fixed on Qiao Yi's waist.

There hung the sword.

He looked at the sword, then at Qiao Yi's face, his eyes narrowed.

Qiao Yi felt a little hairy when he was seen, grabbed Lando's hand, and hid behind him.

What are you doing!

"You—is your name Stuart?"

Qiao Yi: "...? Huh?"

The young man touched his chin: "Is your name Stuart Joe one?"

Qiao Yi: "...!...

Grass! (a plant)

How did he know!

The young man clapped his hands, showing a smacking expression:

"Come, call uncle!"

Joe one:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Lando: ...

Starov & Sailors: ? ? ? ? ! !

"What's the matter, do you have any questions?"

Joe One: ...

When I see a bunch of question marks, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

……

You are fucking crazy!

The author has something to say: I swear by my double chin and belly, I really didn’t enter this hotpot restaurant on purpose,

It was too windy to blow me in! !

I promised my stomach that as long as I stack my chin to the second layer, I will reward myself with a hot pot meal, and if I stack my chin to the third layer, I will reward myself with two barbecues.

Shall we play Jaw Jenga together?

The more stacks, the more rewards!
