Chapter 1210 The Pirates Return (XIV)
At Jue's suggestion, the three players picked up mops and brushes and pretended to help the sailors clean the deck.
During the cleaning process, they each collected some "fragments" of the parasite.
This matter... Feng Bujue must have had some plans; the moment he saw the "parasite", he felt that the other party was related to the derivative, so he planned to take some "samples" back and give them to his derivative allies for identification when he had the chance.
As for Honghu and Snow, although they did not have such a clear purpose as Jue, after a brief consideration, they also chose to "take". Because they all knew... the corpse fragments of rare monsters like this, like dragon scales, phoenix eyes, unicorn teeth and the like, must have some special uses or values; the higher-level summoning, spiritual arts, and mechanical expertise skills in the later stages of the game often use such items.
…………
With books, it is long, without books, it is short.
Twenty minutes later, Queen Anna's Revenge set sail again.
At this time, the wind started to blow on the sea.
The wind was neither too strong nor too weak, just pushing the Queen's Revenge towards the destination, as if there was a force in the dark helping the pirates.
So, someone said - "This is Mr. Erdini's ghost protecting us and sending us off."
No one objected to this.
People who stay at sea for a long time tend to become very superstitious, and pirates... may be the most superstitious group of people.
Their superstition is different from that of ordinary people...
The things that pirates believe in have nothing to do with most serious religions.
Of course, this is also very normal - whether it is Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism... In short, as long as the doctrine is still good, it is not suitable for pirates.
Imagine that you believe in a certain religion, and then you find that according to the doctrine... nine out of ten things you do on a daily basis will lead to hell. Is it interesting to still believe in that thing?
If every religion in the world has its own hell, then people who work as "pirates" should be visa-free to any of these places.
Therefore, the "superstition" of pirates is mostly based on those weird legends of gods and monsters, voodoo and paganism, and some seafaring legends passed down by word of mouth among sailors.
Among them... there is such a legend...
"The death of every respected old sailor will bring half a day of good luck to the people on this ship."
No one knows when and from whom this saying came, but pirates just believe this nonsense...
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of nonsense that has no basis and cannot be corroborated is nothing at all, but in the eyes of pirates, this kind of words is more credible than the stories in religious beliefs.
Because... religion comes from lies, and legends come from the truth.
…………
The wind is still blowing, and the ship is sailing fast and steadily.
The atmosphere on the deck has returned to its usual state, as if the previous naval battle and the death of the first mate had never happened.
This is the pirate, they will never be sad for a person for too long, no matter who he is...
"You bastards - the boxing match is about to start! Come here if you want to place a bet!"
It was almost dusk, and suddenly a hoarse voice shouted like this.
Instantly, the surrounding pirates exploded.
Previously, in the conflict with the Mad Eye Pirates, the players had naturally completed the task of [boarding the enemy ship and killing at least three enemy sailors in the naval battle] (this task only requires one of the three players to board the enemy ship, and the total number of kills of all players must exceed three to complete), and now, the second branch task that needs to be completed on the ship - [participate in the deck boxing match and defeat the "Vikings"], finally placed in front of them...
After hearing the announcement, Feng Bujue and the others followed the crowd and gathered together on a piece of open space in the middle of the deck.
At some point, someone had used wooden barrels, sacks and boxes to enclose a space similar to a "boxing ring" here.
"Come on, if you want to place a bet, hurry up. If you are a man, don't waste time."
At this moment, the person who was standing on a box and shouting was known to Brother Jue and the others. It was the "hairy brother" with a body like a small steel cannon.
The two people behind him who were responsible for collecting money, keeping accounts and counting money were Godfrey wearing a blue headscarf and the leader of the trio, "Garlic".
When fighting with the Mad Eyes Pirates and when besieging the parasite, Feng Bujue had taken the time to pay attention to the movements of the three... He unexpectedly discovered that the three were still very desperate in the "external" battle, and their strength was also very strong.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the cadres on the ship...and Blackbeard turned a blind eye to the three people's behavior of carrying out the "gambling industry" on the ship.
"Are there still people who want to place bets? If not, we can start."
The trio was very efficient and obviously very proficient in the business. In just about five minutes, they collected all the gambling money.
Then, Brother Body Hair shouted twice more, and after confirming that there were no more bettors, he turned around and winked at a man standing in the middle of the ring.
That man was the one with the hoarse voice who had just shouted the first time and attracted everyone to come.
At the same time, he is also the lead singer who led everyone to sing the boat song in the opening CG...
This man looks to be in his forties, wearing a dirty and wrinkled white shirt on the upper body, a red and yellow vest on the outside, and a pair of loose and thin black trousers on the lower body. Maybe it's because his trousers were once very expensive, or maybe it's because he only has this pair of trousers... In short, there are a lot of patches on his trousers, and from the rough (rough) stitches... 80% of them are patched by himself.
"Greedy villains! Twice a week, the moment you are most looking forward to is here again..." After receiving the signal from the hairy brother, the hoarse voice immediately began his highly inflammatory opening remarks.
It must be admitted that... this guy is first-class in both voice and speech, and he has no problem being a professional host.
"Today's first game, as announced last time, will be presented to you by two rookies who have just joined the pirate group for a month..."
Before he finished speaking, the two sailors who participated in the battle had "turned the boxes into the arena" from both sides of the "ring".
The two of them didn't say much. After entering the venue, they took off their shirts and then used facial expressions to provoke each other. It can be said that they instantly entered the "competition state".
"Let us welcome..." The hoarse voice also introduced at the right time, "'Bottle Opener'! And... 'Triceratops'!" (To be continued.)
