The captain looked at the ship that had turned into pieces and scattered on the sea for a while. Then he turned his head mechanically and said with a pale face: "That... normal and famous pirate does have a bounty to take, but - —Are you sure they are still intact?"
...Well, it seems that Nolan Lusi’s spell just now was a bit exaggerated, but since he is a famous pirate, he must be strong, and he will not die so easily, right?
"Probably...?" I groped my chin and said with some uncertainty, "But for the time being, it's not a big problem to tie them up and then send them to the Inspection Department in Wells, right?"
"That's okay. The Inspection Department does have a bounty for young pirates. As long as you catch an ordinary pirate, you will get 20 gold coins." The captain's face became a little normal, but the meteorite falling from the sky just now probably caused him a psychological impact. The shadow is not small, right?
After mourning for the captain for a while, the captain had already arranged for the first mate to prepare ropes to tie these guys up.
Pearson was also late at this time. He looked at me and said excitedly: "I saw all the spells just now, it was really great! Your behavior is completely consistent with your status, and these pirates..."
"Twenty-eight points, you two and me eight?"
He definitely wants to get a piece of the pie when he shows up at this time, but he is still valuable, so I plan to maintain a relatively friendly relationship on the surface, so that I can follow his lead and directly find the person who provides him with iron ore. You can find the real origin of the magic crystal.
"No, no, there's no need." Pierson wiped his sweat and said, "I'm not a businessman who is used to chasing petty profits. What's more, these pirates are basically... solved by you. I don't have that need and I don't have that. Have the confidence to get the money.”
Are you so self-aware? I was prepared to be ripped off.
"Then I'll trouble you."
The boat slowly rowed towards the pirates who had fallen into the water. As it approached, the captain put down several small boats and asked a few strong sailors to tie up the pirates one by one with ropes, and then slowly Shipped on a merchant ship.
Although this may seem a bit too cautious, they are all pirates anyway, which means they are all targets that need to be guarded against. There is no problem in being cautious.
After finally fishing all the pirates ashore, I discovered...
Well, their boss seemed to have been unlucky enough to be hit head-on by a meteorite, so he had probably become fish feed.
As for the possibility of escape?
I had completely sensed the nearby sea area just now, but I couldn't find any traces of anyone's life. In other words, he didn't escape, but fell apart.
Sure enough, it would be better to communicate with Nolan Lusi more next time. It might be better to use some troublesome but gentler methods - an extreme cold storm, freezing them all, or something like that?
But fortunately, judging from the clothing, I still found a guy who looked like the person in charge.
"First of all, the first question, have you been pirates here for a long time?" I pulled out a table, found a separate room, and set it up like an interrogation scene in a movie, and Nolan Lusi and Kai Erras and Villier were also sitting behind the table, acting as a deterrent...
Well, although I think these three people who look like completely beautiful girls to others will probably not be a deterrent, and I even think they will get distracted or something.
Then I carefully removed the word "less".
It is necessary to remind yourself of this at all times so as not to fall into the abyss.
"..."
The man who I will call the pirate's first mate raised his head and looked at me coldly, and then said nothing.
This is wrong, are all pirates so loyal?
It doesn’t seem right to say it this way.
I thought about it and then said, "Do you want to be free?"
"What's the use of talking about it at this time?" The pirate first mate was finally willing to speak, but what came out of his mouth was really not a good thing. "If I answer with tears of gratitude, then you who know the answer still They will send me to jail, and no matter what I say or do, it will be useless."
This pirate first mate has quite a high level of ideological awareness...
"Okay, let me put it another way."
But I like nothing more than dealing with smart people.
The corners of my mouth curled up slightly, and I looked at the pirate first mate with an impatient face.
"Do you think your men want to be free?" He crossed his hands to cover his chin and looked at him with only his eyes exposed and said softly, "I will find a few more people and ask you the same questions. If any of you If someone lies, your crime will be aggravated. If someone tells the truth, then when we send you to the Inspection Department, we will reduce the crime a little bit. If someone tells all the questions, It’s the truth…”
"Then he will be free, and we will put him down directly when we are about to return to Hong Kong."
The pirate first mate's face finally showed a slight expression of emotion.
"No, how can it be possible? You, you are really..."
"Shameless?" I scratched my cheek in embarrassment, "How should I put it? I think this kind of thing can only be said to be a trick. After all, it is your problem, and if there is really a problem, you The answer is completely consistent, so even if you made it up, I will consider it to be true..."
"Stop joking, I can't believe a word you say!" The pirate first mate struggled to escape from the rope, but unfortunately, I had attached magic to this rope before, so if I want to break free, I must at least have Only the eighth level will do.
"Oh, by the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention." I said with a smile, "The people I selected will be interrogated separately. Those who tell the truth can leave, and those who lie will bear the guilt of the truth teller. , so there is no such thing as the idea that one can only be convicted based on the actual situation anyway..."
"Finally, you exposed something - you looked panicked when I just said that I wanted to pick someone for interrogation, which shows that there are indeed other pirates who understand what you are here to do. You are not fearless, so my interrogation method It is effective."
I opened the notebook I got from the captain and looked at the man in front of me as if it was a real interrogation.
"Okay, I am a civilized person. You can complain about any physical or magical violence during the interrogation to extract confessions. Next is our first question."
"First introduce yourself."
