Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 26 Self-taught
When Jack looked up again, Millhouse had disappeared. If Jack hadn't seen the magic flash that had not yet dissipated, he would have been fooled by him.

He knew Milhouse didn't want to hear his thanks again, so he smiled and put the energy bar away.

At night, Jack returned directly to the cargo hold, put an energy bar in his mouth, and waited for his IQ to evolve.

The next morning, Jack did not feel hungry at all, and even felt full of energy. Is this a magical creation? It's amazing.

After breakfast, the Rich set off immediately. The pirates cried out in grief. After drifting on the sea for several months, they finally reached the shore, but they could not relax. What was the difference between this and killing them?
However, for the goblins, delaying them from making money is more serious than killing them.

No matter what the pirates say, the goblin captain will not stay in Kezan for even a second.

The pirates were in a depressed mood and did not dare to get angry with the captain, so they could only vent their anger on the only punching bag on the ship.

They let Jack do all the irrelevant work, such as mopping the floor, fishing for seafood, cooking, raising and lowering the sails. Fortunately, there were energy bars to replenish his strength, otherwise Jack would not be able to bear it in a few days.

Jack's cooking skills were not very good, and he could only stew randomly. After he cooked it once, everyone disliked it, so the chef had to do it himself. This could not be blamed on Jack, as there was no seasoning on the ship, and he only relied on the taste of the seafood itself, which required a certain amount of skill to make it taste good.

After more than ten days, the pirates were in a better mood, or they accepted their fate and stopped making things difficult for Jack. Of course, they still had to play pranks.

Several troll pirates gathered together to discuss, and the lookout asked Jack to climb up the mast to look around.

Jack took the telescope, climbed up to the observation deck, and looked around. In the lonely snowy voyage, looking out was one of the few tasks that could relieve the spirit.

It was almost noon, and the troll pirates immediately shouted, "Jack, come down quickly, we are going to close the net."

Jack came down from the lookout, but the troll pirates didn't wait for him to climb down, still shouting in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up, why are you so slow?"

Obviously, they wanted to play a trick on Jack.

Jack looked at the rope beside him and immediately came up with an idea. He grabbed the rope, swung up from the mast, and flew directly to the bridge. Then he turned over and jumped from the bridge to the deck, and came in front of several troll pirates.

The troll pirates were stunned. They set a trap under the mast. In order to prevent Jack from finding the trap, they kept urging Jack. Unexpectedly, Jack escaped the trick by accident.

At the top of the stairs, Chong Quan laughed loudly, "You guys, hurry up and get to work. Jack is very smart and won't be fooled by you."

The troll pirates had no choice but to collect the fishing nets.

Jack followed behind, secretly delighted. The blood of the red dragon strengthened his body, allowing him to adapt to life at sea and enhancing his combat ability, which guaranteed his lower limit. The Kaga ore strengthened his IQ, allowing him to learn quickly, summarize experience, and continuously raise his upper limit.

The first thing he improved was his linguistics. After a few months of sailing, he easily learned Goblin, Troll, and Tauren. The second thing he improved was his swordsmanship. He now knew three types of swordsmanship: rapier, Alterac swordsmanship, and Kul Tiras swordsmanship.

These three types of swordsmanship have similarities, but also have their own characteristics. Jack first decomposed and integrated their moves to form a set of swordsmanship that suits him, which is called Captain Jack's swordsmanship.

Secondly, he wanted to improve his survival skills at sea. When the ship was docked on the island, Jack would practice swimming in his spare time, which was the most important survival skill after falling into the sea. Although he had the magic necklace of the Naga witch, it was a trump card and could not be easily exposed. When the pirates rescued him, they did not pay attention to the necklace, but only thought it was an ornament he carried with him.

After setting sail again, Jack practiced more on rope swinging. This skill can be used not only for retreat but also for attack, and it can have an unexpected effect at certain times.

In fact, Jack wanted to learn how to drive a boat and shoot cannons, but unfortunately Captain Nedro did not allow him to get close to the rudder and cannons.

Although it was a bit regretful, Jack was not discouraged. Since he couldn't practice, he did simulation training.

When I was acting as a lookout, I would just watch how the goblin captain controlled the rudder, how much force he used, how much angle he turned, and why he turned at that angle.

When you are on the island, you will often encounter murlocs. The murlocs in the sea are different from those on land. They are much taller and bigger, and there are giant murlocs among them. None of them is shorter than the minotaur Heavy Fist. Heavy Fist is the tallest one on the ship. Facing such a huge murloc, Captain Nedro didn't care about being stingy and directly ordered the pirates to launch an artillery attack.

At this time, Jack would hide aside and observe how the goblins operated the artillery.

Compared to steering the ship, firing a cannon is much simpler. You just need to be careful not to leave cannon fodder in the barrel to affect the firing of the next shell. The other thing you need to pay attention to is to load the shell and light the fuse.

As for aiming, that was the job of the observer. Jack had come across it on the Wave Lady, and he needed to master the sight distance method.

Jack had trouble mastering the sight-line method before, but now it is not difficult for him at all.

After several months of sailing, they finally returned to Treasure Bay. Before the energy bar given by Milhouse was used up, Jack's IQ evolution was forced to stop.

The reason was that Stormwind had reached a cooperation with the Kul Tiras Navy, not only borrowing several warships, but the Kul Tiras Navy also helped Stormwind rebuild its navy. This month, the Stormwind Navy often went to the southern part of the West Wilderness for training, which seriously threatened the safe navigation of Booty Bay.

The wealthy man Revilgaz was very dissatisfied with this and was ready to declare war on Stormwind. Jack's ship also needed to join the battle, but their mission was not to fight the Stormwind navy, but to plunder Stormwind's merchant ships. Only by hurting Stormwind would the human warships stay in the port.

Jack didn't want to go, and he didn't want to attack humans. But at this time he had no choice but to follow the pirates and join the looting.

The Blackwater Pirates assembled more than 20 ships and headed for the West Wilderness. The large ships threatened the Stormwind Navy and held them back. The small ships bypassed the sea area where the Stormwind Navy was located and went back to the northern part of the West Wilderness, where there were a large number of human merchant ships.

On the third day, the Rich encountered a merchant ship. Captain Nedro ordered the skull and crossbones flag to be raised and the ship opened fire without any thought of leaving any survivors.
