Connor looked at his leader feeding bread crumbs to the crow on the window sill, and was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the man in a dark gray coat by the window sill suddenly scattered the bread crumbs in his hand on the ground.
Just as the crows jumped to the ground and were about to continue pecking at the bread crumbs, a hand pinched one of the crows tightly.
This hand belongs to the leader of Black Crow Harbor, Pleasant Wilson, who was feeding the crows just now.
"Dead bird, you still think the bread is too hard. Let me tell you, you want to eat it or not. If you don't want to eat it, get out of here. There are so many corpses outside waiting for you to eat. There is no need to let me curse."
"Zhizhi."
"Hey, I'm giving you face, right? You can curse again if you dare."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
"Okay, okay, great, that's a nice scolding, just wait for me and see if I don't kill you."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The captured crow didn't seem to realize the danger was coming, and kept chirping.
"Dead bird!"
Pleasant snorted and stopped talking to himself for the time being. He grabbed the crow hard with one hand and quickly tore off the crow's feathers with the other hand.
The captured crow realized the danger at this time. It struggled painfully and made a series of squeaking sounds.
"You try calling me again."
Pleasant's hands were very fast, and within a short time he had pulled out most of the feathers on one side of the crow's wings. Seeing that the crow in his hand was getting smaller and smaller, until it was silent, he casually threw the dying crow in his hand to the ground. .
As for the other crows, when Pleasant pinched the first crow, they instantly abandoned the food on the ground and the life and death of their own kind, and flew into the distance along the gap in the window.
"I feel much more comfortable now." Plisson gradually stood up, faced the window and stretched his back with his back to Connor. He looked very happy, and he didn't look like a pirate who was facing a naval encirclement and would definitely die if he didn't escape. chief.
"Chief...what are you doing?"
Connor looked at Pleasant who was talking to himself with a strange expression, and repeated what he wanted to say.
Connor's sudden words did not surprise Pleasant. He turned around very naturally, with a calm expression and lowered eyebrows, as if he had already noticed that Connor had entered the room.
"Brother Connor, why did you come in suddenly?"
Seeing his leader's reaction, Connor wanted to come up with a set of quick words that he had already prepared in his heart. However, after Pleasant turned around, the straight face revealed under the captain's hat that was beaten into a sieve really made Connor I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a while.
Pleasant Wilson is a standard Jolsa, a minority race that mostly lives in the Northern Continent. It is rarely seen in the Sky Eagle Empire in the Western Continent, and even if it is seen in the Sky Eagle Empire Most of the Yorsa people in the territory are women, and they serve as the mistresses of the noble men in the Northern Territory of Tianying or the top names in romantic places.
There is no other reason. The Jolsa people are famous for their beauty. Regardless of men and women, the vast majority of the Jolsa people can be said to have outstanding appearance.
And unlike another minority race in the Hokuriku, the Venatans, known as the remnants of the God of War, the Yolsa people have a weak overall physique and are at a disadvantage in numbers. Except for Cang, who is known as the overlord of the Hokkiku Except for the large number of Jorsa people in the Lan Empire, this minority race is rarely seen in other areas.
Pleasant has somewhat messy long hair. The dark blue hair color and the abundant amount of hair are reminiscent of the endless ocean. He is thin and has obvious suture wounds on his neck and exposed skin. He looks weak and ill, but in terms of appearance alone, Pleasant can be said to be very outstanding even among the Jolsa people who are famous for their beauty. But if you include the whole face, Pleasant is quite outstanding. There's one fatal flaw...he's too white.
The white here does not refer to fair skin, but paleness, an extreme pallor. If you have to find someone similar to it to describe it, I am afraid that only a dead corpse can be compared with it. It has an indescribable sense of splendor.
This unique skin color and temperament combined with the weird stitched wounds on his body made him look very much like the stitched zombies described in those horror stories.
It's not like a skin color that a living person would have.
But if that was the case, Connor wouldn't be surprised. He had seen Pleasant's weird face many years ago. There are all kinds of crooked melons and cracks in Black Crow Harbor, even if Pleasant's face is different from His aura was like a corpse crawling out of a grave, and his appearance was far stronger than other pirates.
But what surprised him now was not Pleasant's appearance, but the terrifying narrow wound on Pleasant's left eye.
It was a new scar.
A long and narrow wound cut across Pleasant's left eye. The horrifying scar almost occupied the left half of the man's face. The skin and flesh at the wound were turned out, as if there was something hidden under the skin. Not only that, there was also something near the wound. There were many faint black spots and a few pustules that had not yet swollen, which looked very disgusting.
Connor seemed to know why his leader rushed into the pharmacy immediately.
"Chief, what's wrong with your face..."
"This is the damage caused by the 'Black Blade'. With just one knife, it blinded one of my eyes and left an indelible wound." Pleasant pointed at the scar on his face. The man's wound, his expression gradually became colder, "I used medicine to stop the bleeding, but I can't do anything about the other things attached to it for the time being."
His expression was visibly distorted, and then he said: "This guy quit the mercenary organization in the waters around Saast Province six years ago, and has never been heard from again. Many people thought she was dead, but they didn't expect her." He actually entered the Imperial Military and reached the rank of colonel."
After learning that the scars on Pleasant's face were caused by the "Black Blade", Connor's body trembled slightly.
There are many rumors about this person, but the most famous and numerous of them is the reason why she is called "Black Blade".
She was once the most famous mercenary and pirate hunter in the waters around Saast Province. Legend has it that her weapon was a cursed black short blade. The wounds caused by the black blade would not heal no matter what method was used, and left behind The power of the curse will take root in the injured person's body, causing the injured person's body to gradually corrupt and mutate.
In no more than a month at most, the injured person will either become a rotting corpse or a deformed and mutated monster.
This process cannot be reversed. As long as the cursed black blade breaks the skin and causes a wound, there will be only a painful death waiting for the injured person.
Connor has always had some doubts about this. Although there have been several similar examples in the Sarst Sea, after all, he has never seen it with his own eyes. Faced with those rumors that are beyond common sense, he thinks the credibility is not high. .
But now that he associated it with the weirdness of Pleasant's wound, Connor couldn't help but feel a little shuddered. However, Pleasant didn't take the initiative to mention it, so Connor didn't delve deeper into this aspect.
Whether Pleasant was dead or alive a month later had nothing to do with him. After all, his purpose of entering the pharmacy was not to care about the leader's appearance and health, but to let this mentally unstable guy use the key. Open the secret passage door.
"Chief, the defensive formation outside is estimated to last less than half an hour. When will we open the secret passage to escape?" Connor asked tentatively. Although he had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, after all, in front of the opponent's In the face of this, the most basic respect must be given to this leader.
"Escape? Where to?" Plisson raised his eyes and asked with interest.
"Isn't there a boat at the Donggang Pier at the other end of the secret passage?" Connor was very confused by Pleasant's rhetorical question. There was no way that Pleasant didn't know where the secret passage led to. After all, the key was with him, but Why would he say such a thing?
"What will happen if we get on the ship? We, a bunch of rotten fish and rotten shrimps, can't even defeat several warships and hundreds of naval vessels led by the 'Black Blade', let alone directly encounter the fleet where the new governor is. "
"Sea Dog and Tien Niu are two parallel import knights. One is a living cub and the other is an iron retard. They are just sitting there together and are called Sea Beast Brothers. Haha, I suggest these two guys just change their names to Haier Brothers. Pure Shuke and Beta.”
"When you are at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, if you don't take advantage of the enemy's unfamiliarity with the terrain of Black Crow Port to engage in guerrilla warfare, and if you have to lead a few other low-level trash extraordinary beings in your team to rush into the warship's face, how could you still expect to encounter them head-on? Will you rely on these two when you board the new governor's fleet?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. These two imbeciles died half an hour ago. This is a happy event."
Pleasant said a lot of words one after another, most of which were to criticize the captain of the No. 3 fleet "Sea Wolf" Kazzak and the captain of the No. 4 fleet "Iron-armored Rhinoceros" Morid, who had turned into corpses, but Kang Na also heard other information in this string of words.
"The fleet of the new Governor Norton? We evacuated from the eastern dock and fled to the border of Sarst Province. How could we run into this fleet? According to the latest news from Ekaria, this Governor Norton has not yet taken office. Probably haven’t arrived at Blue Pearl Harbor yet.”
"Oh, if the new governor really hasn't taken over his authority, then who ordered the group of hyenas in military uniforms outside to attack us? Don't doubt it... there are about a dozen more In minutes, the fleet led by the new governor will dock at the dock east of Black Crow Port. As far as I know, they are now heading towards the east route, which may not even be a few nautical miles away from Black Crow Port."
"How is this possible?!" Connor was shocked.
"There is a fleet belonging to the Sky Eagle Empire Navy in the eastern waters. On the deck of one of the warships is a man wearing a governor's uniform. They are heading towards the Black Crow Port. This is my divine power through my God's Favored Ones. , using the information exchanged with some bread crumbs and crows, although these guys have a bad mouth, their thinking mode is relatively single, and they will never be full of falsehoods and lies like other people."
Plisson's almost bloodless face trembled slightly, "So... the authenticity of the above information can basically be guaranteed."
What did the crows see? Connor's expression was gloomy, and he didn't know whether he should believe what came out of Plissen's mouth.
There has been a widely circulated rumor about Pleasant in Black Crow Port, that is, Norton's most famous pirate is a God-favored person who hides extraordinary and unknown divine power.
The favored ones are also called the favored ones or the blessed ones. They are a group of lucky people who are favored by the gods. They will show amazing talents in extraordinary fields from birth, and their speed of advancement is much faster than that of ordinary people. , and each one of the gods' favored ones has a special ability that is unique to them. These abilities are also called divine powers.
The number of God's Favored Ones was very rare no matter in that era, especially in the Fifth Age where the true God has not yet appeared. The number of God's Favored Ones is so small that it is on the verge of extinction. Except for those who may be seen among the high-level bishops of the Zhengshen Church. Except for the traces of a few God's Favored Ones, the "God's Favored Ones" in other places have almost become legendary existences.
Connor naturally couldn't believe that a pirate leader who only dared to be active in the northernmost border waters of the Western Continent and made trouble in Norton Province, one of the most remote provinces of the Sky Eagle Empire, the overlord of the Western Continent, was actually the legendary God's Favorite.
Moreover, according to rumors, Plisson, as a favored person of the gods, possesses extraordinary divine power only to communicate with birds, which makes Connor even more suspicious.
Divine powers are often linked to all kinds of shocking and incredible extraordinary abilities. For example, the "Black Blade" who was once active near the Saast Sea was abandoned because of her extremely fast advancement speed and her weird curse. Many people believe that he is a man of God who is outside the traditional church organization.
It was basically impossible for a divine being who could only communicate with birds, so Connor only regarded this rumor as a joke.
At such a critical moment, what Plisson said actually matched the content of the weird rumors, which made Connor feel a little weird.
Looking at Pleasant's serious expression and his plain narrative, it didn't look like he was lying.
Moreover, what Plisson said is not unreasonable. The Duke of Annecy, who is pampered in Ecaglia, should not reach out to such a remote border of the empire. He has the ability to mobilize the troops of the Duke of Annecy and is willing to suppress the gang. The only pirate in Crow Harbor is the new governor who has not yet taken office...
Connor was silent for a while, his expression dark, as if he had accepted the fact that there was no hope of escape.
He naturally reached into his pocket. In that large pocket, there was an enchanted revolver hidden, which was the weapon he used for self-defense.
Connor pinched the handle of the pistol, and the extraordinary power in his body began to rotate slightly, gradually flowing to his whole body.
But he did not take any direct action. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly: "Chief, so according to what you said, we can only stay here and wait to die?"
"Don't look sad. We are going to die soon. We have to think of some happy things." Plisson leaned on the seat and looked up at the ceiling. His messy blue hair hung down the side of his pale face. Go down.
Connor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Pleasant's current appearance. Regardless of whether what the other party just said was true or not, Connor no longer had any hope of following this person to escape through the secret passage.
However, although Connor gave up his escape, he did not give up the hope of survival. The second plan originally conceived gradually emerged in his mind...
Kill Pleasant and trade the great pirate's head for a chance of survival.
