Chapter 184 [Fishing], News About [The Lord of Billions of Glory]
All this happened so fast that most people didn't have time to react and could only stare in amazement.
Some of the crew members of the [Viper] hadn't even figured out who the enemy was and why they were fighting, and the beam of the [Magic Light Penetrating Cannon] had already blasted through the hull.
Then, the [Black Swan] crashed into it.
Then...
Captain Hassen got on!
Captain Hassen was knocked out!
That was a third-level secret pather, the strongest on the entire ship, but he didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of Shane! ?
Crash!
The water splashed, and Hassen, who was knocked into the sea, roared, opened a pair of blood-colored wings behind him, and rushed towards Shane.
The sound of the wind was dull, mixed with a heart-shaking sharp whistle, as if a whole mountain was coming!
Shane raised his hand and caught Hassen's fist lightly.
Although he was in mid-air, his seemingly thin body did not show any signs of shaking. Only the wings made of blood behind him trembled slightly and were vaguely visible.
After some research, Shane had mastered the method of controlling the [Blood Power] to fly, so that he could look down on the people of the [Viper].
At this time, seeing the blood wings behind Shane, Hasen's face suddenly changed.
"... How is it possible!?"
Although it was not real blood, the way of calling blood was clearly the same as their blood secret method!
"You, you are..."
Before Hasen finished speaking, Shane kicked out again casually.
This kick looked light, but Hasen felt that he could not avoid it anyway.
In a critical moment, he forcibly called the blood secret power in his body to form a protective film on the surface of his body.
But at this time, Shane's foot had already landed on Hasen's body.
There was only a crisp sound of "click".
The blood protection didn't even last half a second, and it shattered in an instant, and the huge impact force swept Hasen's body again.
How could that violent force look like a human being?
It was more like a big ship or a storm hitting him directly!
In an instant, Hasen vomited blood, his breath was weak, and he fell from a height like a kite with a broken string.
He stared wide-eyed, and couldn't figure it out-
"Why is this man so strong?"
And all around, whether it was the crew of the [Viper] or other onlookers with their own purposes, they were already a little dazed.
Hasen's previous attack was blocked, and it could be described as a hasty attack and unprepared.
But this head-on confrontation, the truth was exposed nakedly in front of everyone-
Hasen, couldn't even take Shane's move!
And the third-level secret pathers were all like this, not to mention some first-level and second-level captains.
Someone sighed softly: "The Black Swan is still the Black Swan..."
"It seems that after being missing for more than a month, it has not become weaker, but stronger."
These captains may not be unaware of the previous record of the Black Swan.
However, compared with hearsay, people are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes.
After seeing the terrible strength displayed by Shane, they quickly extinguished their original thoughts and quietly turned the bow and left.
On the Siren, Alyssa opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the figure standing over the Viper, and she couldn't help but be dazed.
From the encounter with the Viper to the dust settling, how could it be ten minutes?
It wasn't even five minutes!
Alyssa was once again grateful that Shane was their friend, not their enemy.
...
...
On the sea not far away.
The White Dove and the Heron were moving side by side.
After being forced back by the Black Swan that day, they did not leave, but followed behind, ready to take action.
Julian, known as the "Blood Hand", looked in the direction of the Black Swan and said softly.
"Now, can you understand why I didn't take action before?"
The first mate on the ship nodded, and said with emotion: "Captain Julian is worthy of it."
"That Black Swan is indeed extraordinary."
Three days ago, although Julian gave an explanation when he retreated without a fight, some crew members still had some doubts.
——It's just a pirate ship, is it necessary for the captain to be so afraid?
The current scene made them clearly understand...
Really!
If they had attacked the Black Swan that day, the ship pierced by the light column might have become the White Dove!
"What exactly is that powerful beam of light?"
The first mate asked curiously while watching the battle not far away: "This power... is close to the attack of a fourth-level secret pather, right?"
Julian thought for a moment and replied: "It's probably some kind of magical weapon."
"I have seen similar equipment at the federal headquarters, but this weapon needs a certain amount of time to charge. It takes a long time to charge after firing this one shot."
"I see."
The first mate seemed to understand, but couldn't help asking: "Captain, what should we do next?"
"We can't just follow them all the time, can we?"
Julian glanced at him, his tone still very calm: "Don't worry."
"If I'm not mistaken, their destination is that [Sand Island]."
"It just so happens that there is an order from above to let us go to [Sand Island] as an advance team and wait for the next instructions."
"Hiss... [Sand Island]..."
Hearing this, the first mate took a breath and showed an uneasy look: "I have been to that island, the environment on that island... It's really not for people to stay!"
"And that group of natives, they are extremely powerful, and each one is more brutal than the other."
Suddenly, the first mate noticed something and looked at Julian in surprise.
"Wait, Captain... you also want to fight for the Norwich Treasure, don't you?"
"Why not?"
Julian smiled, his tone was still very calm, but it revealed an unusual ambition.
"Even pirate ships like the Siren and Thunder want to get a piece of the pie, why don't I try?"
It's true that the White Dove is a federal patrol ship.
But the laws of the Federation have never prohibited patrol ships from seeking benefits for themselves.
On the contrary, the Federation supports such behavior as long as it does not violate the law.
After all, the materials and rewards issued by the Federation alone are not enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of many patrol ships.
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass.
So, whether it is the gains from destroying pirate ships or the gains from various islands and underwater ruins, they are all the spoils of the patrol ships themselves.
It's not surprising that Julian would have such an idea.
The first mate's expression changed several times, but he still said carefully: "Captain Julian, forgive me for being blunt, the Sand Island is very dangerous."
"Even a third-level secret pather may die there at any time."
This is a subtle reminder that Julian's strength is not enough.
"Third level?"
Julian smiled confidently: "I won't be soon!"
Hearing this, the first mate was shocked at first, and then couldn't help showing joy.
...
...
At the same time.
Shayne and the crew were cleaning up the mess on the Viper.
Although Hasen was defeated, he had some loyal vampire subordinates on his ship.
At this time, Shane naturally couldn't show mercy to them.
After killing Hasen and a group of diehards, the remaining crew members surrendered as a matter of course.
Looking at the dead Hasen, Shane really realized the terrible comprehensive quality of 3.17. Against the third-level secret pather, he had a crushing advantage.
As for the Viper, which had become his trophy, Shane felt a little strange.
In the past, facing the pursuit of the Viper, they could only flee in a panic without any ability to fight back.
Now, defeating this ship did not take Shane much effort at all.
It was really touching.
But soon, a new problem was placed in front of Shane -
What should be done with the Viper and its crew?
A big hole was opened on the side of the Viper, but under Shane's deliberate control, it did not damage the ship's sailing ability and would not sink.
Obviously, this ship can be sold at a good price.
The crew on the ship are also old sailors with good strength, and they are rare talents for ordinary ships.
It is obviously a waste to kill them all.
Things are different now.
At first, Shane didn't keep any prisoners because there were few people on the ship and there was no condition to control the prisoners.
Now, this batch of prisoners is obviously worth a lot of gold dragon coins, so of course they have to keep some.
The only problem is...
Who should I find to sell it?
This is not the [Crime Islands]. If I want to find someone to sell ships and prisoners, there must be someone to buy them!
The first people Shane thought of were Loren and Alyssa.
But then he thought, they were so poor, how could they have the spare money to buy such a big ship?
It is possible to buy some prisoners.
Thinking of this, Shane waved in the direction of the two ships, signaling them to go on board to negotiate.
But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of...
A tattered steamship was slowly approaching the [Black Swan].
After seeing its appearance, Shane's expression was very strange.
This ship is not big, about the size of the [Black Swan] after the first enhancement.
The ship's equipment, chimneys, armor, decks...all were rusted and dilapidated, as if they had just been fished out of the sea.
Judging from the appearance alone, it would not be surprising if the ship sank the next moment.
Rusty, broken, and stained.
——This is the first impression of the ship.
But after it approached, Shane keenly sensed an unusual breath.
[Master, that ship... is a little bit wrong! ]
Not only Shane, Xiao Hei also issued a warning in his consciousness.
[It has a smell of danger! ]
You know, when facing the huge [Viper], Xiao Hei did not show any strange emotions.
At this moment, facing this shabby and broken boat, he was so vigilant, which was enough to show the specialness of the other party.
While Shane was on guard, Alyssa came to the deck first with the help of teleportation spell.
Seeing the shabby steamship not far away, Alyssa's face changed slightly: "[Fishing]? It's here too?"
Shane asked curiously: "[Fishing]? What a strange name, is this ship famous?"
Alyssa shook her head: "On the contrary, it is not very famous and is only known to a very small range of people. I only knew of its existence by chance."
"Its specialness lies in... the name 'Fishing'."
Hearing this, Shane was thoughtful.
Fishing means that the state presented on the surface of this ship is nothing more than bait.
Pirates who are slightly confident in their own strength will try to rob this small boat.
But now, [Fishing] is still alive and well, so the fate of those "fish" is self-evident.
"Moreover, it is said that the captain of that ship, Lindrek, has unique connections and knows many secrets of the Seven Seas, and there are many good things that cannot be bought from others."
Alyssa continued: "So, some captains will buy intelligence and equipment from him."
Shane understood.
This is an intelligence dealer and sea merchant.
Of course, when necessary, they probably don't mind playing the role of pirates.
After figuring out the identity, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of this ship.
At this time, a small transport boat was lowered from the [Fishing]. There was only a gray-haired dwarf and a human first mate on the boat.
"Captain Shane of the [Black Swan], I am here to discuss a business with you."
After a brief thought, Shane said: "Please come on board, Captain Lindrek."
As soon as the old dwarf got on board, Shane couldn't help but frown.
The other party's aura seemed ordinary, not as strong as Alyssa or Loren.
But after a careful inspection, Shane immediately felt a stabbing pain like a needle.
Shane looked stern.
This was definitely not the aura of an ordinary third-level secret pather.
This dwarf captain was obviously hiding very deeply.
What surprised Shane the most was that the other party gave him a sense of déjà vu.
At the same time, Lindrek's turbid eyes flashed with surprise, and he said hoarsely.
"It seems that Captain Shane's inspiration is very sharp."
Inspiration?
Hearing this word, Shane's heart jumped, but his face remained calm and he asked directly.
"Captain Lindrek, what business do you want to discuss?"
"Of course it's this [Viper]."
Lindrek also said straight to the point: "This ship has a very deep connection with the blood race, and ordinary people may not have the courage to acquire it."
"But I'm different."
"I dare to take the ship that others dare not take!"
"I dare to do the business that others dare not do!"
What Lindrek said is indeed the truth. Taking the [Viper] means that the blood race will retaliate.
Ordinary pirates don't want to add another enemy.
After thinking, Shane asked: "So, what is the price you offer?"
Lindrek looked straight into Shane's eyes and said bluntly: "1500 gold dragon coins, or the equivalent of extraordinary materials."
"And... a piece of news."
Shae raised his eyebrows: "What news?"
Lindrek smiled mysteriously: "I wonder if Captain Shane has heard of..."
"The Lord of Billions of Glory?"
