"Then who is talking to me now? You, or the captain of the dead team?"
Lu Yuan frowned and asked bluntly. [No pop-up novel website] In Chinese morality, the dead are the most important. He has never had a good impression of the arcane magic that manipulates other people's corpses in necromancy. If the Bob in front of him was just a puppet being manipulated, then he would give him a ride just for the sake of getting to know each other. After all, this kind of spell causes the soul of the person being manipulated to suffer, which is very painful.
"I don't know." Bob spread his hands calmly and added. It can be seen that he is trying hard to bring his current body closer to the past. "To put it nicely, one is the whole and all is one, and our team of the dead are all unanimous. To put it badly...since I have been killed, now I have someone who retains his consciousness and is still alive. Opportunities, wouldn’t it be good to do things honestly with gratitude?”
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, found a chair and sat down. Since this was Bob's choice, there was no reason for him to interfere.
As a professional magic practitioner, Lu Yuan can clearly judge Bob's status. He is now in the stage of just waking up, and his body is gradually transitioning from stiffness to normal. The physical wounds have not been repaired with necromancy, which means that his combat effectiveness may be worse than that of ordinary people now. Normal walking, sitting and lying are already his limit.
Lu Yuan didn't need to worry about his plotting or playing some conspiracies, all of which needed the backing of strength. The reason why Bob was able to hide Lu Yuan's perception before was more because Lu Yuan had always focused on finding a living person. I didn't pay attention to the dead people.
However, he still comforted Bob and said, "It takes a lot to cast this kind of spell. Not only do you need to divide a part of your body, but you also need to divide a ray of soul as a medium to cast it smoothly. Since the other party has paid such a high price, then it will definitely not be possible." I will give up on you casually, congratulations, at least I will have no problem surviving this world."
"Thank you." Bob said stiffly. The content of his words and his expression often did not match. "Actually, this is one of the terms of the deal we are going to propose to you. When you leave the Shipwreck City, take me out of here. You know, as a precious zombie, I really can't stay here forever."
"Wait, is there any misunderstanding between us? Although as an acquaintance, if I can leave, I will definitely take you with me. But I am helpless now... You see. I am a newcomer just like you. And mine The ship sank too, otherwise I wouldn’t be here…”
"Haha~" Before Lu Yuan could finish his tentative words, he was interrupted by Bob's weird laughter. He was still holding on to his gold-rimmed glasses while laughing. So as not to fall off. (Because the glasses are the real body? "You, you are so good at joking... No, when I heard those things, I thought the captain was joking... The famous captain of the "Kraken" captured the special The great pirate in the Port of Trinidad. The bounty hunter who blocked the Port of Nassau, and the 'Magician of the Opera' who destroyed countless pirate ships. Don Quixote, who issued a declaration of war to the East India Company, triggered a naval war between several countries and directly contributed to the two wars. The abolitionist of the major leagues... and most importantly, the true owner of 'Pizarro's Gold'! After ruling out all possibilities that you are a senior, the captain clearly declared that you are... the best in history. Strong newcomer!"
Lu Yuan raised his finger and said seriously, "I solemnly declare that I have never done any of the illegal things you mentioned, especially the last one..." Lu Yuan spread his hands noncommittally. "It has nothing to do with me at all."
Of course, that's all. Lu Yuan never believed that there were secrets that could be kept in the world. Regarding "Pizarro's Gold", since so many people and forces were involved at the beginning, it is simply impossible to say that Lu Yuan did it perfectly and deceived everyone in the end. Not to mention Jiang Wan and Zhang Chunlin who left the Qianlong Team and joined the Dead Team, they can definitely guess it. It was the Governor of Havana, Leblanc. If he could carefully clean up the burned villa, he would immediately find that half of the building stones were missing. What was unclear at that time?
Anyone who understands the causes and consequences of this, through the course of the matter and reasonable inferences, will not be difficult to discover the secret of the governor's wife and the role Lu Yuan played in it. Perhaps others would not have thought that Lu Yuan could fly hundreds of kilometers in one night, such an incredible feat. However, since hundreds of tons of gold are involved, do you still need evidence? At this time, just suspicion is enough. For hundreds of tons of gold, it is definitely better to kill the wrong person than let it go.
The most fearful thing in this world is the word "serious". As long as you leave a flaw, you can definitely find it out. And hundreds of tons of gold are definitely a reason beyond all else, and its weight is worthy of anyone taking it seriously. Therefore, Lu Yuan knew that sooner or later he would be discovered, but it would be slightly earlier than he expected.
Of course, denial must be resolutely denied.
"We have no interest in gold..." This time it was Bob who spoke on behalf of their captain. Lu Yuan noticed that he had taken off his glasses? "And your secret may only be guessed by the French now - we are not sure whether they discovered the secret or you were betrayed by someone... You must know that your black crew members are now given by the French You know the qualifications of a free citizen."
"French? Ah, I understand...Thank you!" Lu Yuan shook his head and expressed his gratitude. He realized where he had overlooked something. There is a possibility of being betrayed, but it is not high. The French have always known that they are the "Opera" bounty hunter group. This is not a secret in Port-au-Prince. And because Lu Yuan never believed those black people, they didn’t know much (Lu Yuan didn’t know that Helen had to survive.
The spread of news related to "Pizarro's Gold" has been effectively controlled among the contractors. As long as no contractor is stupid enough to tell the NPC the news and try to find help from there, the NPC forces will not be able to connect the treasure with the contractor.
It's just that Lu Yuan was negligent after all. He stole a lot of treasures from the Governor's Palace in Havana, Spain. Except for the golden shield and golden ballast stone, but some of them he just packed away. No attempt was made to sell. But those gold and silver coins minted by Leblanc were all given to Elizabeth and Misha, just to make them happy... Now that I think about it, these coins should have symbols that only people in this world will understand. They spent money in Port-au-Prince. Afterwards, someone followed the clues and tracked them down... Then he thought that if Misha and Elizabeth were arranged to wait for him in Port-au-Prince, what if the French government made some small move. That's terrible!
"Then my subordinates..."
"They're fine." Bob directly told the news he had just received for free. Lu Yuan has become famous among various forces and the contractor team, and many of his actions have attracted much attention. Just today, whether it is the "Team Tearer" or the "Team Hidden Dragon". When news spread that Lu Yuan was probably dead. He never expected that the Lu Yuan in the news would actually appear on the isolated shipwreck island thousands of miles away!
"The British are now allied with the French. They jointly hunted down the Opera House members in Port-au-Prince. But from the news I got, they not only successfully escaped, but also killed the governors of the two countries. The fleets of the two countries are going crazy. We are looking for them all the same... We just don’t know who the wanted amount is specifically for."
After stopping the information Bob said, even Lu Yuan, who had always been very fearless, couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. Killed two governors? ! Was this done by those fierce girls in Misha? ! "I can fight back" is obviously an illusion...
"Thank you for telling me this news. If you have any requirements, please tell me directly." Lu Yuan said frankly. Bob is now not only a comrade who shared the same fate, but also shares information with the captain of the dead team. Then these generous offers of the latest news have a different flavor. Lu Yuan didn't like guessing riddles, so he asked directly.
"We need you to help us get the 'Flying Dutchman'! Our only goal in this world is this ship!" When Bob said, the flashing green light in his eyes was even clearly visible. He, or the captain of the deceased team, directly stated the target with a very candid attitude. "There are three key points required to do this mission. The first is the mission items, which we have almost completed collecting; the second is the location where the mission will be carried out, and we have also determined the location; but only the third... Defeat 'Flying Holland' Perhaps the only captain in the entire Caribbean who can do this is you, Lu Yuan!"
Okay, Lu Yuan nodded directly. "Then, during this period, Misha's safety..."
"We will try our best."
"Deal!" Lu Yuan clenched his fist and knocked on the table to conclude the agreement.
Although this "deal" was weird from beginning to end, Lu Yuan still agreed because he felt that the other party knew his character very well, and although the various arrangements were hasty, they were within the scope of what he could accept.
"Zade Capa, that admiral, I believe that if such a person pretends to be stupid all day long and does nothing, then it means that he must have a way to leave. Do you have any further information? If there is any definite I can kill him right now, and then we'll leave right away..." When Lu Yuan thought about Misha and Elizabeth being hunted by two countries, he wanted to fly back to the Caribbean.
Lu Yuan admits that he is somewhat chauvinistic. When he treats women, he always encourages them to be independent, and sometimes he does so by stimulating their self-esteem. But once the matter involves the life and death of these people, Lu Yuan still habitually wants to use his own power to protect them.
"Can you defeat Zad Capa?! He is at the gold level! Peak!" Bob said in surprise.
He relies on his "dead man" convenience to take routes that normal humans cannot reach, such as underwater or the bilge of a sunken ship filled with toxic gases. Therefore, many places have been investigated. In his impression, Zad Capa was an extremely powerful guy!
He asked the captain of the dead team that although the gold level of the plot and characters is definitely not as good as the gold level powerhouse among the contractors, that is only because the contractors have more diverse methods and have various powerful props. As long as they are in the same main god world, there is essentially no difference in measurement standards.
"If you can defeat him, then things will become very simple immediately... because the Shipwreck City is not actually closed, but the channels for external communication are firmly in the hands of Zad Capa. As far as I know , someone comes to the island to contact him every month. That person quietly enters the shipwreck city in a small boat. The small boat cannot survive the storm outside, so I guess they park the big boat somewhere outside the island to hide. You know There are thousands of sunken ships here, and the so-called shipwreck city only accounts for a small part. It is easy to find a hiding place."
He gestured around, indicating that he was doing the same.
"What time of the month..." Lu Yuan asked. He didn't understand what Bob meant by these words. You know, he is very anxious now. Even if Bob's words are very detailed, they are still going in circles. "Since I have agreed to help the Dead Team. Why don't we be more direct? What do you need and what do I need? It's best to say it directly."
"Lu Yuan, I'm just talking to you now as myself." Bob took off his glasses and wiped them, "You know, as a living corpse, I owe you a favor. So I hope I can remind you. You After you go out, you will probably face two big countries. What are you going to do..."
Bob's words were like a bolt of lightning, suddenly waking up Lu Yuan. He sat down again and smiled at Bob, "Sorry. Concern leads to chaos."
"It's okay, this is true temperament. I originally thought that killers would be calmer."
"So I'm here." Lu Yuan innocently spread his hands and joked about the reason for his time travel. In the world of the Caribbean, everyone enters by dying. When he said this, both of them laughed.
Bob's laugh was a bit unpleasant though. But you can see the sincerity in it. He now regards himself as a person who will live forever, and he and Lu Yuan are talking about cooperation and repaying favors, and seeing that Lu Yuan does not show fear, fear, or disgust at the fact that he is a corpse, of course I'm very happy and want to get to know you in depth.
After Bob reminded him, Lu Yuan immediately understood that Bob not only had good intentions, but also probably violated the wishes of the leader of the deceased team and came to warn Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's current personal strength can be said to be more than enough for a duel. After all, he even killed the legendary giant octopus. But if the opponent came to attack seven or eight gold-level enemies, he would have to flee. Moreover, he does not have a good warship at his disposal. If he goes out and encounters a large-scale siege like that of the East India Company, he may not even be able to escape.
Adequate preparation is the most important thing. Rushing out is actually useless.
Even if Misha and Elizabeth are really caught by the French, they will only be imprisoned and used as weights to find the treasure. It's even easier now that the Dead Squad is here to help.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Bob simply told him all the information he knew. Only then did Lu Yuan have a clear understanding of the plot world of the Caribbean. It can be said that if these contractor teams had not prepared all the information about the world in advance, Lu Yuan might have been completely confused after completing the world.
*********
The plot world of the Caribbean is essentially a struggle between maritime powers, which is then displayed through naval battles, colonies, and money.
Without the intervention of the Contractors, the development of this world should be the gradual decline of Spain, the establishment of British dominance in the region, and the gradual demise of pirates. The entire process would last for hundreds of years until the United States became officially independent from British rule.
Before this era, the Spanish were the unquestioned overlords of the Caribbean, and even now, everyone still has this impression.
The Spanish gained astronomical wealth through colonization of the Caribbean and bloody plunder of the Indians. The tradition of the Spanish is not to build, but to plunder. (The British also carried out large-scale infrastructure construction in India. Even after hundreds of years, it was better than the Indian government. They often caused Indians on the entire island. The scene of extinction. The governor of Havana, Leblanc, can be said to be an outlier. He only slightly reversed this situation in the twenty years he came to power. These gold, gems, cultural relics, and specialty products not only filled Spain’s empty treasury, but also helped Spain rebuilt the Armada.
It can be said that the Caribbean region is Spain's money bag, and every time a gold mine is discovered, it can cause the entire country to convulse.
Now, the rising British wanted to challenge the Spanish supremacy. They have ocean blood, more advanced ships and combat concepts, and more pirate-like sailors, but they have no money. In the Far East, their colonization of India had just begun to bear fruit, and most of the profits fell into the pockets of the East India Company. Especially in this world, they should have been under tremendous pressure from the Ming Empire, and their development in India was very unsatisfactory.
In the Caribbean, this is a territory that has been plundered by the Spanish for hundreds of years. In a place where the Indians are extinct, the British really can't grab much. Therefore, the British who are now short of money have focused their attention on several places, trying to quickly accumulate a large amount of money - one is the evil slave trade. While many countries are shrinking the scale of the slave trade, only the United Kingdom is continuing to do so. Expanding, they sold black slaves to any corner of Europe and America!
There’s also the quest to find and unearth several legendary treasures in the Caribbean—the gold of the Inca Empire, the treasures of Pizarro’s expedition, the Spanish Treasure Fleet, and the Shipwreck City!
The ultimate goal of qualifying is to see who can reverse the final situation to the greatest extent! Therefore, on the surface, these contractor teams are actively moving closer to the big forces, contributing their own strength and acting as dependents. In fact, some of them are intercepting the British targets, such as various treasures, and instigating the relationship between the British and the Morgan Pirate Alliance, etc.; they are destroying and plundering legendary warships from various countries, such as the "Black Pearl", "Flying Dutchman", "Sea Wolf", etc.; they are weakening the power of certain countries, like the Ripper Squad assisting LeBron in recovering wealth, actually putting Spain on the opposite side of all pirates...
To sum up the information, it is——
At its simplest, they can help Spain beat England...
Of course it would be best to help France and the Netherlands destroy Spain and England...
If you fantasize, then the best outcome would be that all four countries are wiped out and pirates dominate the world...
The most unlikely thing is that all Europeans will get out of the Caribbean and we, Greater China, will be in a bucket of paste... In this way, regardless of the team or individual who contributes, the points gained will be beyond imagination! Even Lu Yuan, who knew that the Ming Dynasty was far more powerful than in history, and that there was a powerful Ming Dynasty fleet in the Caribbean, did not dare to imagine this kind of outcome, because there were only ten months left, and now there were only five left.
His attention is now completely attracted by another thing. Is the Shipwreck City also a big treasure?
Think about it, in modern society, every time a sunken ship is salvaged, it makes headlines, and the salvagers are bound to gain massive wealth. Those sunken ships sunk at the bottom of the sea and covered with thick sea mud, every plate on them is priceless! Of course, a large part of that is the premium added value of history.
In real history, of course, the sunken ship is on the bottom of the sea where it should be... But in our great magical age, there are hard-working porters like the Kraken and collectors like Cory Busso. The two of them worked tirelessly to use ocean currents, monsoons and tentacles to bring all the sunken ships in the ocean to our feet...
What a good man!
Hearing this, even Lu Yuan, who never cared much about money, became hot in his heart!
You may not like money, but don't tell me you don't like treasure hunt games! So are you still a man? !
ps: I feel like vomiting blood every time there is a transitional chapter...because it's never a good time.
Later I realized that there is never a good time to post transitional chapters.
