Chapter 248 Burning Ambition
I don't know why, but seeing Mulan's expression, Kilja actually felt a creepy feeling, but the premise of any future is that he can still have a future.
"Maybe you think that I can't give you what you want like this, but as long as you are willing to believe in me, you can change your destiny."
Kilga's face was covered with animal blood, and he continued in a deep voice.
"Do you want to be a little pirate all your life? Don't you want huge wealth? Don't you want a beautiful woman? Don't you want to break through the boundaries of mortals?"
At this moment, Kilga looked very much like an evil devil tempting people to fall, which made Mulan very interesting. What this devil didn't know was that, to a certain extent, the person standing in front of him was the real devil.
"It's money, power, and women again. If that's the case, why don't I take you to Chief Ruskin, Kilga."
As soon as the name "Kilga" was spoken, the client's pupils dilated for an instant and then contracted violently.
"You won't get this by betraying me, at least it's far from being compared to the reward of trading with me. When you have the opportunity to stand on the top and surpass the sky you thought before, that kind of reward is what you deserve!"
Mulan narrowed his eyes, and he saw Kilja's reaction clearly.
Then it is known that the pirate group that attacked Valentine was another group of pirates, which also had extraordinary people, and belonged to the Pirate King like Ruskin. Then there is a high probability that Kilja will not be able to deal with ordinary pirates, and may even be with the Pirate King. Also not on good terms.
Normally, it is unlikely that an ordinary person would have a bad relationship with the Pirate King. Even if he did, it would be a one-sided resentment. The Pirate King would not pay attention to him at all. But Kilga's situation is obviously not ordinary, but it is unlikely that he will. Born to be anything but ordinary.
Combining what the Pirate King is looking for now and the series of circumstances from Valentine's attack to now, we have eliminated many possibilities that seem reasonable but can be overturned in Mulan's mind. The last remaining possibility is even No matter how absurd it is, it is the closest to the correct result.
"Kilga, did you make a wish to the wish pot?"
Kilja's whole body felt like an electric shock, his eyes and mouth opened slightly involuntarily, and goosebumps all over his body rose.
Impossible, impossible, how could it be possible, impossible! Why does this person know? Not even the Pirate King can know!
Kilja had imagined many kinds of requests from the other party, but he did not expect to hear this question that shocked his cognition.
"Who are you anyway?"
For Mulan, this sentence is equivalent to an admission.
"I'm just an ambitious little pirate. As you said, I want strength, power, wealth, and women. And what you just said should be mine."
Mulan slowly squatted down, looked directly into Kilja's eyes at close range, and spoke in a low and threatening voice.
"Kilga, make a deal with me, a deal that may change your destiny!"
In Mulan's heart, the voice of the elf sounded again.
Devil, for a moment, Kilja seemed to see a devil in the pirate in front of him, but he knew that this was an hallucination with a fearful mentality due to a strong mental shock.
But there is no doubt that the pirate in front of him is terrifying, very terrifying!
"I am willing to trade with you. Now that you know I am Kilga, who are you?"
Mulan smiled.
"Vincent, a former Imperial sailor, was forced to become a pirate just a few days ago. I feel quite comfortable with it now!"
Kilga realized that he was a born pirate!
In the tavern, several people greeted the door.
"Hey Vincent, what took you so long?" "Yes, if it weren't for waiting for you, we would all be having fun!"
"Hahahahaha, I found the right one for you, isn't it interesting?"
Several pirates were laughing there, and Mulan patted his belly and walked into the tavern.
"I don't want it. I haven't drunk enough yet. Chief, my stomach was too bloated just now. I haven't lost yet!"
"Hahahahaha"
Many pirates began to slap the table and laugh, and Ruskin couldn't stand up with his stomach in his hands. It had to be said that even though he had only been under his command for a few days, he was becoming more and more fond of this boy.
He kept pouring wine, and he probably drank more today than Mulan had in his two lifetimes combined. He demonstrated this boldness to the fullest.
First of all, Leo is still alive, at least he must have been alive before Kilja left, and there is no sign of being killed immediately.
Secondly, it was obvious that there was a discrepancy between the accurate information of the Wish Pot and the plan, but Mulan, who knew this, chose not to tell Walton, at least there was no need to tell him immediately.
The Pirate King didn't know, and there was no need for the Masked Demon to know.
To take a step back, after all, being in a dangerous group of pirates, Mulan, as an undercover agent, also has many "helpless actions", right?
The Ruskin Pirates will rest for a period of time in this place called "Black Gold Island". Count Alva's merchant fleet is just a fat fish intercepted along the way.
There was far more than one pirate group anchored on this island. During this period, there were also other pirate ships entering and leaving the port in the inner bay of the island. It was already a pirate economic island. There were many more islands like this in the depths of the ocean.
The pirates were intoxicated and having fun on the island, and Mulan showed a tendency to gradually integrate into them. He often disembarked to the island to find happiness in groups or alone.
Kilja's recovery speed is very fast. Although he still looks a little thin, it is already within the normal range. At the same time, his movements have also returned to agility. It is not an exaggeration, but it is also outstanding among ordinary people.
The existence of the elves greatly improved Mulan's sense of security. Even if the elves would not help in the battle, it made it easier to meet with Kilja in private. Both parties understood that this temporary alliance was doing extremely crazy things.
A few days later, the Ruskin Pirates began to leave the port, because the Sky Star, as the flagship, had been renovated. Although the method was crude, it was very efficient.
There are two more pirate-style rotating turrets on the deck, and there are many more gun positions on both sides of the deck. Some wheeled cannons are placed here.
As a result, the Tianxing suddenly became terrifying. Not to mention, in Mulan's eyes, the Tianxing at this time really had a rough beauty, especially the specially reinforced ram on the bow, which was actually made of a metal statue. Siren sculpture.
The pirate group will go to Gem Island, and dozens or hundreds of pirate groups will gather there.
The Tianxing slowly left the port first, and then followed nine pirate ships. Because of that interception, the number of ships in the pirate group suddenly reached double digits.
Except for one that was severely damaged and stayed here to continue repairs, all the others went to sea, and as a result, there were a few more captains, and many new people were recruited. Of course, they are new people, but how many of them can be on this island? Good people, and Kilga in disguise is among them.
Even so, many ships only have enough manpower to basically maintain navigation.
On the way to Gem Island, Ruskin pointed to a ship on the sea that was also flying the pirate flag, laughed and ordered an attack.
"Look at their waterline. There must be goods on the ship. Let's go grab the wealth that belongs to us -"
"Grab it-" "Hahahaha!"
If there is a feud between pirates, the weaker party will be in danger when they meet at sea.
If there is no enmity, it is also very dangerous if the overly weak party is seen by other pirates as being profitable, because although there are rules among pirates, these rules may not really protect you, especially if you can't even escape. When there is no way to escape.
The modified Sky Star showed its ferocious appearance for the first time, and other pirate ships also opened fire sporadically, not so much to hit each other, but to scare each other with cannons, making all the pirates laugh.
"Bang" "bang" "bang" "bang".
"Bang" "bang" "bang".
The other pirates are also fighting back. Sometimes pirates are just a group of lords who want money rather than their lives.
The advantages of Tianxing's speed and hull tonnage were undoubtedly demonstrated. During the firing of the artillery, it was like a steel monster on the sea, directly ramming into the wooden pirate ship.
"Boom~"
The pirate ship was actually directly hit by the Tianxing, causing a big crack in the middle. Sea water poured in crazily. The people of the Ruskin Pirate Group didn't even have time to rob it, and the ship began to sink.
"Look at my new baby, hahahaha——"
"Hahahaha!" "This ship is great!"
Ruskin stood at the top of the mast laughing maniacally, and the pirates were also extremely excited.
Mulan stood on the deck and looked at the pirates beside him, scratched his head and asked a little naively.
“The ship sank, what to do with the things on it?”
"Well"
The ordinary pirates around him suddenly became quiet.
It just so happened that Ruskin's ship had fewer people on board, so all the people flopping on the sea were rescued. Those who were willing to join Ruskin's pirate group could survive, and those who were unwilling could just feed the sharks. It was as simple and crude as that.
This also allowed Mulan to constantly refresh his understanding of pirates.
The pirates are extremely sensitive to the currents in the sea, especially the first and second mates on the flagship and the captains of the other two main ships. They are all physically enlightened people, and some of them have even awakened their magic power, including Ruskin himself.
A group of pirates who are familiar with the sea conditions can easily avoid some dangerous ocean currents, use some ocean currents according to the situation, and move quickly towards the remote Gem Island.
The pirate party initiated by the Pirate King is also a time for pirates from all parties to show off their strength.
In this deep ocean, the probability of encountering a merchant ship with rich oil and water is also decreasing. In addition to constantly adjusting the route of the pirate ship, the pirates on it are also getting closer.
But Mulan has never been idle. He keeps looking for people to compete with, but he can't beat Ruskin. He even looks for the first mate, second mate, and even the other two captains and other physically enlightened beings. He can actually compete for a short time, and even continues to improve. Therefore, in As the relationship became more harmonious, he was also called "Monster Vincent" by people in the group.
It was already the end of August, and Mulan still didn’t know when Gemstone Island would arrive.
"Boom~"
Thunderclouds appeared on the distant sea, and lightning kept beating among them. Ruskin came out of the captain's cabin and squinted at the distant sea.
Mulan, who was wiping the deck with others, also stopped with others.
A melodious song ripples on the sea.
