Pirate System

A few days later, Tang Ke used several low-key outings to get a clear picture of the situation in Twin Harbor. He knew the strength of the enemy he was about to face, as well as the enemy's current actions. He felt that he was a little sorry for Alyssa's distraught husband, and he decided to make a move to guide the enemy to the unpredictable Dead Chess Islands by means of letters.

In a small, dilapidated hotel, in a lonely room in the corner of the corridor. The surrounding wooden walls were an unpleasant cyan, and the circular scars on the walls looked like gloomy eyeballs, deep and decayed. The curtains in the room were lowered, blocking out the sunlight, and only a little light came in through the gap, forming a bright line like a knife's edge. The four men's breaths were mixed together in the closed environment.

They formed a circle, and the other three looked at Tangke, the two ordinary pirates, and the condescending fellow, Hong Locke.

Tangke was very solemn. He put a letter on the table. The letter paper was pale and stained with blood-red mud.

"Lauren, the silver-handled knife," Tangke's eyes wandered on the faces of the two, "this letter will be handed over to you, three days later, the two of you will find a way to deliver this letter to Kerwin's Castle, then get out of here immediately and rush to Sooke Harbor, and then I'll send a boat to pick you two up."

Lauren, a thin pirate, nodded without saying a word. The man with the silver handle knife only has a nickname, and he also patted his hairy chest to ensure that he would complete the task.

"What are you two going to do about this task?" Tangke tentatively asked. If the other party's answer did not satisfy him, he would replace it with someone else.

"That's not easy," said the silver-handled knife confidently. "Hire someone outside to deliver the letter, and we'll keep an eye on it in the dark. After the letter is delivered, we'll take a carriage to Sooke Harbor. Come on, everything will be fine."

Lauren rolled her eyes at the silver-handled knife, then added: "It's not that light. We have to make sure the messenger is reliable, and it's better to choose a child to do it. We also have to try to hide our true colors so as not to be turned into portraits in the future. It's sticky everywhere. You can't take a carriage when you run away, it's better to buy two horses in advance."

Although the identity of the Evil Dragon Pirates will definitely be revealed afterwards, it is better not to explain the details before meeting, so that the enemy will have a sense of fear in the valley.

Tangke nodded with satisfaction, Lauren's subordinate is more reassuring. He put two heavy brown leather bags on the table, and there was a beautiful sound of gold coins colliding inside. Heavy tasks will be rewarded with equal weight.

"These two bags of gold coins are yours, you must do this well." Tang Ke urged, with the simple words of the whole group's safety.

"I will live up to my mission," Lauren promised solemnly.

"It's all up to you two." Tangke stood up, picked up the accompanying package, and left with Hong Locke.

The small room suddenly became much wider, and the remaining two could only wait boredly.

Tangke and the pirates couldn't wait until the day the letter was delivered before leaving by boat, because after Kerwin and Michael received the letter, they would likely block the entire port immediately and launch a large-scale search activity, which would be detrimental to the Serenade's travel. Therefore, Tang Ke could only leave two people responsible for delivering the letter, and he and most of the pirates had to leave in advance on the Serenade, so as to avoid risks.

On the same day, the Serenade bid farewell to the tense Twin Harbors and sailed directly to the Dead Chess Islands, where countless ships have been buried. Although they were heading for a dangerous sea area, Tangke was not afraid at all. His heart was filled with stimulated emotions, and it was difficult for him. He is about to get the Mermaid Key, which will open the mysterious demon treasure chest. He concluded that the Heart of the Demon Ship is a good thing, which will greatly strengthen the strength of the pirate group. His excitement was transmitted to every move, and the little boat Serenade was galloping, and every sail of various shapes was blown.

The two pirates, Lauren and the Silver-Handled Knife, stayed in Twin Harbor for two days in a low-key manner. During this period, they only went out to buy two fast horses and familiarized themselves with the way of riding. The two of them did not ride fast and even fell Several times, the silver-handled knife was so angry that he almost killed the horse. After staggering and riding for a long time, the two of them were finally able to ride their horses away.

On the third day, the two began to carry out the mission of delivering letters. They searched for candidates by the roadside, and finally selected a clever little boy who sold newspapers. They both wore wide-brimmed hats, buried their faces in the shadows, and pulled their collars up. They claimed to introduce a letter delivery job to the little boy, and showed the errand fee enough to make the little boy jealous. The little boy took up the errand bravely. Before the little boy set off on the expedition, the silver-handled knife frightened the little boy a few words, and described the fate of the little boy's failure to deliver the letter like the worst nightmare.

The little boy carried the letter to Kerwin's castle, as instructed. He didn't understand the whole story, but the very textured silver coins in his pocket gave him courage.

Lauren and the silver-handled knife were stalking the little boy in secret. As they approached the castle, the pedestrians became sparse. The two of them led their horses and sneaked into the forest. Even the silver-handled knife, who talked a lot, kept his stinky mouth tightly shut. They hid in the distance, lurking in the grass, while the horses were tied to trees deep in the forest. They watched the little boy hand the letter to the doorman, and then heaved a sigh of relief, moved slowly, and after a distance from the castle, folded and ran wild.

The two pirates found their horses, and without looking back, went straight to the port of Sooke and walked away.

...

In the splendid living room, all kinds of gold and silver wares are shining together, and the light in the room is enough to make ordinary people dizzy. In the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror, there are several figures dressed in luxurious clothes, two of them are the handsome Michael Michael And the depressed Kerwin.

Michael frowned, holding a letter in his hand. He scanned the contents of it with falcon-like eyes and read it carefully twice. The content of the letter gave him mixed feelings. He was happy that his sister and nephew finally had news, and he was worried that the sender was an anonymous pirate. There are two pieces of letter paper in the envelope, one is handwritten by my sister, and the handwriting is absolutely correct. The other is an extortion letter written by a pirate, with handwriting as sharp as a sword.

On a certain day, the pirate head of such and such is sincerely.

Alyssa's mother and son are in our hands, if you want to redeem them, please bring real gold skull coins and two treasures of mermaid keys, only drive an ordinary ship, and rush to the dead chess before the 20th of the Brumaire Islands, where we will exchange the desired. I hope we have a good time with this deal, and I'm going to give a crazy punishment for any breach of the rules of the deal.

Mr. Kelly and Mr. Hahn (Kelly is Kerwin's last name).

Michael's burning eyes seemed to pierce the letter. He thought for a moment. The pirate's extortion letter was very brief, which proved that the writer was a neat person. It didn't mention who the pirate did, so he couldn't figure out the other party's. The bottom is fine. Pirates are a group of thugs who kill without blinking an eye. My sister and nephew are in the hands of the pirates, and they are in a very dangerous situation. The pirates are asking for two treasures. Although they are both precious, they have strange uses. The pirates may have a deeper purpose. The pirates did not ask for gold coins, and it seemed that they were not short of money. Since they were not short of money, it proved that these guys were not small, and they should be a large pirate group.

Kerwin resisted not to probe over, put his hands on both sides uneasily, and whispered to urge Michael to read the letter quickly.

Michael closed the letter, and without rushing to hand it to Kerwin, he asked, "Do you have a gold skull coin and a merman key?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Kerwin blurted out.

"How many people know about your possession of these two treasures?"

"Only a few people know, such as a few of my friends."

"Does my sister know?"

"of course I know."

Michael nodded, and then passed the letter in his hand. "Look at it. The pirates are extorting these two treasures from you. Only then will my sister and my nephew be released."

"What?" Kerwin thought about it now, no wonder Michael asked himself if he knew about these two treasures, "Damn pirates, actually coveting my treasures. Ah, I see, it must be this **** Alicia. ..." He caught a glimpse of Michael's unkind look and swallowed the swear words back, "She must have leaked my treasure to the pirates."

"Okay, shut up. These two pieces of scrap metal are worth nothing compared to the lives of my sister and nephew. Let's study how to deal with pirates first. It seems that the fortune-tellers are right, sister and the others. They should still be alive, and we have to find a way to rescue their mother and son completely. You should know very well what kind of guys pirates are. They will do anything to get what they want. My sister and little Jim are very dangerous." Michael dominates the situation, trying to draw his brother-in-law's attention to more important things.

"Okay. What do you say?" Kerr said warmly, apparently still resentful that the treasure was about to leave his hands.

"We have to act fast, every second counts, and many things have to be done at the same time. We need to control the messenger and conduct strict interrogations, but I estimate that the messenger must have been hired by pirates, not necessarily directly related to pirates. Try to get the messenger to describe what the pirate looks like."

"The messenger was a child," Kerwin interjected.

"That further confirms what I said. They randomly found a child to deliver the letter~www.readwn.com~ Michael's head was burning like a magic furnace, thinking about all kinds of problems, "Go and order the whole city to be blocked, Including the post road and the wharf, and let the guards search everywhere, especially on the road leading to the castle, to look for clues, and if you encounter someone who looks like a pirate, you must not let it go. I also sent someone to check the entry and exit records of the nearest docks, and the pirates may have docked with their own ships. "

"Yes, these are very important." Kerwin glanced at the letter again, and became more nervous. "There is also a problem. The date the pirates set us are very tight. Even the Clippers have to immediately Set sail, otherwise it is impossible to reach the Dead Chess Islands within the stipulated time. Damn, he only allows us to sail over by ordinary boats."

"I can't do what he said. If I really drive an ordinary clipper to a place like the Dead Chess Islands, what's the difference between it and my death?" Michael's eyes widened, "I will drive my subordinates. The strongest magic ship went to trade, and surrounded the Dead Chess Islands with a large fleet. If you look closely, the pirates said 'Go to the Dead Chess Islands before the 20th Brumaire'. Judging from this tone, The pirates will definitely be there waiting. As long as I get my sister and nephew back, the pirates will die."

"Did you mean the magic boat..."

"That's right, it's the Angel of Power, which has never been defeated."
