Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 730 61. "The Fat Sheep" Black

   The sailing for the next few days was uneventful.

   Until the early morning of the fourth day, when it was about to approach the waters where the Kul Tiras fleet was cruising, the Nagfar began to break away from the fox people's caravan fleet and sailed forward at a faster speed.

  The elemental blessing of the Hydraxian Legion allows ghost ships to evade detection by tidesages, but continuing to stay with merchant ships will only increase their goals.

   What's more, Blake still needs to complete some "preparations" before officially going to Drustwa for the wedding.

   "Okay, guests, we are approaching the cordon of the Kul Tiras fleet. Therefore, we will spend the next three days and two nights at the bottom of the sea, and we will not surface to give you fresh air."

  At sunset, on the deck of the Nagfar, Black, playing with his hypnotic pocket watch, shouted to a group of dwarf engineers in loose clothes wandering about the deck:

   "In the last 20 minutes of rest, I will imprint today's sunset in my mind, so as not to stay underwater for too long and cause problems. Although there is a 'psychiatrist' on my boat.

   But trust me, you won't like her treatment. "

   "Black, are you so afraid of the Kul Tirans?"

  Wearing beach shorts, a loose top, and odd-looking dwarf sunglasses, the dwarf agent Kelsey Gangshuo, who was lying on the **** platform and basking in the sun, was lying on the railing and shouted down:

   "Your ship is so powerful that you can sneak attack them silently from the bottom of the sea! What are you afraid of?"

   "I'm glad you complimented my boat, and I thank you for her."

  Black said without looking up:

   "But trying to show fearless courage on someone's turf, ending an action before it even begins, is not something to brag about.

  I don't know how you secret agents of Gnomeregan work, but we the Uncrowned never have such a high profile.

   I suggest you take the time to let the wind out, Kelsey.

   Being under the sea for a long time is not a pleasant thing, especially for you very neurotic midgets, I don't want to lock the manic you with a chain. "

   "Hey! There's something at the end of the sea, Blake!"

   Kelsey didn't answer the stinky pirate's ridicule, she put on her mechanical goggles, and as the gears turned, she quickly noticed what was rising from the sea level in the sunset ahead.

   She pointed over there and screamed:

   "Looks like ships! They're on our way."

   "Huh? Is there a boat? At this time, in this sea area?"

  Black raised his eyebrows, and he whistled sharply and shudderingly.

   Soon, a nimble and agile trade wind crow flew out of the bird's nest behind the poop, turned a few times above his head, and flew towards the sea ahead according to Blake's waving fingers.

  Black stood in front of the rudder of the ship, he activated the covenant of beasts, and soon, the vision of overlooking the sea from a high altitude was shared by the trade wind crows.

  Because Miss Hisari was flying very high, her field of vision was extremely wide. After a few minutes, Black could vaguely see the postures of the three ships ahead.

  Well, in terms of size, they all look like ordinary merchant ships, with some fire cannons near the two strings, the sailors on the deck are walking lazily around with bare feet, and there are people fishing.

   The flag they hoisted was the flag of a certain Chamber of Commerce in Kul Tiras, which seemed to be a common commercial voyage. This is near the Kul Tiras sea area, so it is not surprising that such a small caravan appears.

   But Black's brow furrowed tightly.

   As the trade wind crows neighed as they approached, the pirates noticed something was wrong.

   These three ships had too shallow a draft.

   Either they had very little cargo, or the three ships had deliberately lightened their ballast to increase speed.

   But when merchant ships sail back and forth, in pursuit of profit, they always fill the ship as much as possible. As for the act of daring to remove ballast in this endless sea voyage, it is simply life-threatening.

   For the size of these three ships, a little wind and waves are enough to make them capsize.

unless

   The three empty ships in front of them are sure that they will soon harvest a batch of "ballast" on the vast sea.

   "So, is this the Kuomintang Navy 'fishing'? Or are my colleagues going to play with a big one?"

  Blake put his hand on the steering wheel, the magic eyeball on his shoulder narrowed, and instructed the first mate dragon beside him, let her look at it, and turned around and walked into the cabin.

   Opened a hatch, took out the elemental emblem, and rubbed it lightly in his hand.

   "Crash"

   A light wind blew in this airtight place, and the elemental merchant Al Abbas dressed as Asan came as usual.

  Blake was also welcome and asked directly:

   "Are you on the three ships across from you? What are their identities?"

   "Well, my dear quality customer Blake, you know my rules."

   Deng Shen shook his marshmallow-like body and said softly:

   "I can't reveal the identities of my other clients, I only answer questions that are allowed by the rules.

   But yes, I was on the opposite boat and they bought your location information from me for a huge price.

   They are ambitious.

   They're going to do some very bad, bad things to you and your ship. "

   "Okay, then let's follow the pattern from last time. I guess, you respond. If I'm wrong, you tell me, and if I'm right, you stay silent."

  Blake glanced at the pocket watch in his hand.

   He picked up the dwarf pipe, lowered his head, lit the fire, and said:

   "I guess, those three ships are from the South China Sea. They should be those 'pirate hunters' who want to get rich overnight?"

  Digami swayed his body silently.

  Black nodded and asked again:

   "I guess, they may have something to do with Hela, so they dared to risk being sunk by the Kurdish navy to ambush me in this area near Kul Tiras?"

   Dengjin shrugged and replied:

   "Wrong, not all of them are related to Hela."

"Um."

  The pirate nodded again.

   He took full advantage of this “premium customer” privilege, saying:

   "I finally guessed that their plan was to block the Nagfar here and take advantage of the ghost ship's lack of artillery to defeat us at medium and long distances.

   In order to prevent me from diving and escaping, these guys should have brought mines or something? Or did they buy the 'Ocean Binding' service from you?

   Their plan is to kill me here, to please Hela, and then send my body and my ship to the Kul Tiras Admiralty for a reward while removing the bounty they may be carrying?

   Cool, kill three birds with one stone!

   Nice plan.

   If it wasn't for me, I would be heartbroken. "

   Deng Shen spread out his grasps, and a terrifying smile appeared on his blurred face, it said:

   "My dear Blake, do you need to buy some 'services' from me to offset their advantage?"

   "Good guy, you are eating both ends!"

   Black pouted and said:

   "Sell them services first, and then coerce me to buy them. You are the only beneficiary of the 'arms competition' between the two sides. I said, is this the 'trading priesthood' you seek?

  I think your priesthood field is a bit weird, so you should just change your name to 'Death Merchant'. "

   "No, the name is too violent, Djinn is known to be a pacifist."

The    element merchant let out a laughter like the wind blowing through the woods.

   It swayed its body and said to Black:

   "I'm never in a head-to-head battle, I'm just providing my clients with the loyalty they can. If you don't need my services, get ready for a fight.

   On the other side of my clients, we need to speed up.

   Friendly reminder, you should treat it carefully.

Opposite    is a real "Hella God's Choice". Although he has not yet entered the "finals" of the Queen of Hell, his cruelty and madness are already well-known in the South China Sea. "

"yes?"

   Black nodded.

   Before the genie disappeared, he asked one last question, saying:

   "What is the combined bounties of their gang in the Kul Tiras Admiralty?"

   "It seems to be exactly equal to your bounty."

  Deng Shen asked suspiciously:

   "Why are you asking this?"

   "Nothing, just ask casually."

  Black sent the Djinn away, turned around and opened the hatch. On the bulkhead outside the door, it seemed that Windrunner's mother who had just woken up was leaning against it, adjusting the dark bow in her hand.

   she asked:

   "So, 100,000 gold coins came running over with legs?"

   "Well, the fat sheep came to the door."

  Blake grinned and whistled:

   "Today is really a harvest day, let me see"

  The smelly pirate looked down at his pocket watch and said:

   "There are still ten minutes before the scheduled dive time, instructor, are you interested in exercising your muscles? Go out hunting or something, and we will earn seven or three cents."

   "I take 70%?"

  General Lireza lowered her head and put a black iron visor on her face and asked.

  Blake's face became hard to look at, he said:

   "In this way, you can stay on the boat to support me. Your appearance fee is getting higher and higher, and the poor me who is about to go bankrupt can no longer afford it."

After   , he turned and walked out of the cabin, standing in front of the steering wheel.

   Watching the three ships in the distance, under the blessing of "Tailwind", rushed towards the ghost ship like three off-string arrows, and had already turned on the sea, ready to enter the shelling position.

   They don't have many guns on board.

   But for the Nagfar, which has no artillery, once it enters the artillery battle, the ghost ship will still be restrained everywhere.

  During the due diligence of Miss Hisaly Black Crow, Black could still see the **** on those three ships, throwing large bundles of mines into the sea.

   The style should be an improved goblin mine.

   is really worth the money.

   "click"

  The dwarf agent Kelsey, who had changed into his combat uniform swiftly, rushed out with a gun that was too big for a dwarf, and made a shooting motion on the **** platform above.

   she screamed down and asked:

   "Need my help? Blake, when they get within a few hundred meters, I can help you kill their captain."

   "Thanks, but my baby boat doesn't like being near her."

  Black took off the dwarf pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and a pair of blue bat wings opened behind him, pushing him into the sky with just one slap.

   A few seconds later, amid the screams of the dwarf engineer who was taking pictures ahead, a group of purple Black Hands slid from the sunset sky like a shooting star and smashed towards the three ships that were changing directions in the distance.

   In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a demon with wings on its back, flying towards the sea below with billowing smoke.

"Well"

   Little dwarf Kelsey, chewing raspberry gum, stretched her voice to voice the purple meteor that fell from the sky.

   When she saw the meteor slammed into a fire on a ship on the edge, she pouted, put away the spear in her hand, shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone:

   "It seems that I don't need my help anymore, which is a pity. I also wanted to take the opportunity to test the latest mechanical squirrel bomb."

—

"Listen to me, don't be afraid of the 'two-faced' Blake! Whoever hangs out on the sea doesn't know, the North Sea pirates will brag! Dare to say that he drove a ship without artillery and defeated Dai head-on. Lynn?

   Who would believe this nonsense?

  Why didn't he brag that he overturned the entire Kul Tiras fleet one by one? "

   On the three boats on the opposite side, one had a grotesque sheep skeleton on his head, and a blind pirate with a black skeleton mark on his face blew the whirring sea breeze, grabbed the cable and shouted:

   "That's a young chick! I admit that his ghost ship looks intimidating, but he shouldn't be stupid enough to run out and play without his own fleet.

   is a big fat sheep that makes people drool!

   There are many bad people who will bully children in this sea of ​​plunder, hahaha. "

   "Captain."

"Shut up, idiot! Don't bother with my pre-war declaration! Guys, I've bought power for our ship from the 'Denjin'! The surrounding waters have been trapped, don't leave that ghost ship anywhere I want to go!"

   The old pirate with a strange cold light in his eyes scolded the sailor beside him who wanted to talk. He spat rudely to the side, and he shouted:

   "We threw a mine, and it didn't dare to dive!

   The sea breeze in this battle is blowing in our direction, and we have an absolute speed advantage!

   As long as we keep our distance, the ghost ship without artillery will not want to touch us. It will be sunk by the cannonballs in the middle distance. Brothers, we will win this battle!

   You've all heard how Gaboa described that ship!

   It is filled with the treasures of the ancient pirate king Zemran, and anyone can get rich by killing Black! "

   "Captain! Look at that"

  The sailor looked at the purple meteor falling from the sky behind the captain, and once again opened his mouth to plan for his contented captain, but was reprimanded by the latter again.

  The old pirate is obviously in a state of excitement that is abnormal.

   There seemed to be a force interfering with his will, making him almost ignore everything around him, only Blake and his ghost ship in sight. The old pirate, brandishing his sailor knife, shouted:

   "Send Black's head to Kul Tiras, and our past will be written off, and everyone will be able to return home with a great treasure!

   Isn't that what you want?

   That’s not what it is”

   "Ah, we're done! Run."

   A scream interrupted the old pirate's "passionate" pre-war declaration.

  The pirates were running on the deck below in a panic, and these scumbags screamed and rushed towards the side of the ship on the other side. Some impatient ones jumped into the sea directly on the high-speed turning boat, and as a result, they were caught in the current under the boat and their heads were broken by the rudder.

   "What are you running for! You bastards, come back to me, and the artillery has to be manipulated!"

  The old pirate was awakened from that weird frenzy by this scene.

   He looked at his men who were fleeing for their lives, and turned his head with a sense of feeling, just in time to see that purple-black shadow meteor falling from the sky.

   Like a sharp arrow across the sky, it smashed into the deck of the ship at the edge with a swoosh, crashed into the cabin, and ignited the mast and sail.

   In the scorching flames, the portal from the Twisting Void opened, and large groups of imps and hellhounds howled and rushed out, biting and hunting on the burning ships.

  The flames were circling, and a demon with closed wings strode out of the fire. It also held the neck of a blood-stained pirate in its claws, holding him like a lamb.

"Hey."

   Under the stunned gaze of the old pirate, the demon rubbed his chin with his claws, looked up and down at him and the skull decoration on his head against the burning background, and commented in a disdainful tone:

   "You are the newcomer chosen by Hela? This aesthetic level is really messed up! Hela's vision is as bad as ever."

   But the first reaction of the satirized old pirate was neither anger nor fear.

   On the contrary, he looked at the demon opposite him strangely.

   There is a groove that I can't spit out, and it's really uncomfortable to get stuck in my neck.

"Just like you, a demon with two skulls as accessories, you still have the face to say that I have poor aesthetics? I only have one head in my hand, okay! Hey, you demon with a bad brain, you are humiliating yourself. OK?"
