Sail Shadows in the Sea of Fog
Chapter 32 Silencing
Chapter 32 Silencing
In the moonlight, three ships were lined up on the sea, moving towards Pier 12 of the Zhuniao Islands in the increasingly thick sea fog.
This sea fog was not summoned by Cheng Lang. Instead, it was summoned by several ships specially served by Pier 12 through the mirage horn to welcome guests after dark.
In this thick sea fog, the only things that could guide their directions and positions were a bright lighthouse in the distance and the scarlet lights hanging on the tops of the masts of three ships.
During the slow voyage, the Valkyrie, the Crucible and the Flamingo, which were still undergoing emergency self-repairs, slowly approached the port.
Pier 12 does not have a pier, but instead consists of a series of enclosed docks built against the mountain.
Under the guidance of the magic mirror, the sea anchor was slowly lowered to hook the underwater towing cable, and the three ships with their sails furled were pulled into a spacious cave by the cables.
When Cheng Lang handed the mooring fee of 10 gold coins to a little monkey riding on a letter-carrying monkey on the deck, the monkey carefully bit each of the 10 gold coins with its teeth. After confirming that they were correct, it put them into its bag, took off a key hanging around its neck and handed it over, then rode on the letter-carrying monkey and left the enclosed dock transformed from a cave.
Almost at the same time, a huge wooden board slowly descended from the entrance of the cave with a creaking noise.
When the wooden board completely covered the cave entrance and the waterway, under the linkage of the mechanism, bright ship lights gradually lit up on the rock walls above.
However, Cheng Lang did not rush to get off the boat. Instead, he prepared gifts and waited patiently.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door of the dock. Gerta immediately took the key that Cheng Lang got from the little monkey, stepped on the gangplank and ran up to the dock on one side of the dock. He trotted all the way to the entrance and opened a wooden door that was barely wide enough for two carriages to enter side by side.
Cheng Lang didn't have to wait long before Captain Senfa and Mr. Lu Ting hurried over.
"Is Captain Lu Ting injured?" Cheng Lang, who was waiting at the dock in advance, asked with concern, and handed over two elf healing potions that had been prepared in advance.
“Just a minor injury”
Despite what he said, Captain Lu Ting took the healing potion and applied it to the wound on his shoulder.
"Come up and chat"
Cheng Lang turned and walked onto the open deck, taking the two of them into the spacious conference room again.
"These are the spoils I'm going to share with you."
Cheng Lang pointed to the items on the table and said, "In addition to these, there are also quite a few salvaged cannons, including four 20-coin cannons, each inlaid with half an armor plate."
After a brief pause, Cheng Lang lied, "I found a total of 12 of these cannons on the demon hunting ship.
But I'm sorry, Captain Senfa, Captain Luting, my ship is really lacking in firepower, so I can only give you this much."
"We are already very satisfied with these," Captain Senfa said. "After all, we are an armed merchant ship and are not keen on fighting."
"This is... This is the Iron Oak Blood Core?!"
Mr. Lu Ting noticed the blood-red stick at this moment, "You actually..."
"A total of one and a half were found."
Cheng Lang said truthfully, "We have three boats in total, so each boat has half a piece."
“This is such an unexpected surprise.”
Mr. Lu Ting said excitedly that he could recognize the Iron Rubber Blood Core, but that didn't mean he had seen it before, even though he was an experienced old captain.
Because of this, compared to the precious iron rubber blood core, these things have become dispensable extras.
But neither Lu Ting nor Senfa were curious about how much Cheng Lang had salvaged from the shipwreck.
Compared to these, there are more important things to do right now, and they are already satisfied with their gains this time.
"The most important thing for us next is to keep it secret."
Senfa casually picked up a healing potion and looked at it, then took the initiative to start a conversation, "We have sailors from the Swordfish Caravan captured earlier on our ship. They all witnessed the entire process of us sinking the demon hunting ship."
"I guess Captain Senfa must have a plan?"
Cheng Lang said that he was not worried about this matter. After all, they both played a role in sinking the demon-hunting ship.
"Killing them is the only way"
Captain Lu Ting answered the question, "This is about the madmen of the Royal Witch Hunting Group of Boerland. If we want to trade on this sea again, silencing them forever is our only option."
"How many prisoners are there on your ship?" Cheng Lang asked.
“About 200 people”
Captain Senfa sighed, "I know this is cruel, but for ourselves and our families, so I..."
"One gold coin for each corpse. How about selling those corpses to me?" Cheng Lang said suddenly.
"Sell it? The corpse? Sell it to you?" Senfa looked at Cheng Lang in surprise.
"Or two gold coins?"
"No, no, no, this is not about the gold coins, I mean..."
"One gold coin for each corpse"
Lu Ting didn't give Captain Senfa a chance to express his curiosity. He hugged the spoils on the table and said, "We'll send the captive's body over later."
"I'll prepare the gold coins," Cheng Lang said as he stood up.
"Senfa, take the iron rubber blood core, it's time for us to go back." Lu Ting said, and he couldn't wait to walk out of the meeting room.
He was not curious about what Cheng Lang did with those corpses, but under the premise that those captives had to be killed, he was certainly willing to exchange two hundred difficult-to-handle corpses for some gold coins.
cruel?
That's really sorry. Among these three captains, even Cheng Lang, who comes from the civilized world, knows it very clearly.
If they don't silence him now, they will soon face the pursuit of the royal family of Boerland, especially him, the culprit who killed the other prince and joined forces with Tundao to dismantle one of their fleets.
"I thought you wouldn't have the heart to do that," the magic mirror teased in Cheng Lang's ear.
“I just want to survive”
As Cheng Lang spoke, he walked downstairs and into the captain's bedroom. Then, from the stairwell compartment where the valuables were stored, he found the loyalty tombstone he had obtained from the prince on that wild island, as well as the 12 cups of Poseidon's blood salvaged from the demon-hunting ship.
"There's never enough blood of Poseidon"
Cheng Lang, who had just arrived, uttered a complaint that most captains in this world often made, and with a painful gesture, he threw 10 cups of Poseidon's blood on the tombstone.
Washed by the blue blood of Poseidon, the tombstone of loyalty became radiant again. Cheng Lang did not dare to delay and quickly sent it to the lower cabin.
Taking the cup of Poseidon's blood handed to him by Cheng Lang, Fujixiao's team leader Wukong dipped his little finger in the blood of Poseidon, and then smeared it on the lips of a corpse.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Lang immediately pasted the loyalty tombstone on the forehead of the corpse.
After waiting for less than a second, the corpse turned into a streak of light and disappeared, completing the pollution-free treatment from the source.
As they busied themselves with their work, sixty or seventy bodies salvaged from the demon-hunting ship were gradually brought to the tombstone. Almost immediately, Mr. Lu Ting, accompanied by a team of sailors, arrived in a carriage, bringing in the still-fresh bodies.
After the sailors left, Cheng Lang did not avoid Lu Ting at all. He simply changed the task of smearing Poseidon's blood from Tengxiao to Gerta. The two of them cooperated with each other and sent all two hundred corpses sent one after another into the Loyalty Tombstone.
Although this scene did not scare Captain Lu Ting, it scared the two helmeted pirate brothers in the Valkyrie's corral.
Even though they had never heard of such a thing as a loyalty tombstone, they didn't want to end up with nothing left. "Is that a loyalty tombstone?" Captain Lu Ting asked tentatively.
"That's right." Cheng Lang put away the tombstone and the cup of Poseidon's blood, which was never dwindling. "Has Mr. Lu Ting seen it?"
"About forty years ago, a group of pirates was wiped out by the Boylan Witch Hunters at the edge of the Sea of Despair. There were over a hundred sailors on those two pirate ships at the time."
Captain Luting muttered to himself, "They were all smeared with Poseidon's blood and sent to the Tomb of Loyalty. Not long after, they played a vital role in the battle against the pirate group's lair."
"you"
"I was only your age back then," Lu Ting smiled. "I managed to survive by hiding in a whale carcass."
"Sorry for bringing up bad memories for you." Cheng Lang said apologetically.
"no no no"
Captain Lu Ting waved his hand. "On the contrary, I'm very happy to see this tombstone appear in the hands of others, and I look forward to sending more demon hunters to sleep in the tombstone."
"Even for a sailor from the Boerland Witch Hunters, I can only offer one gold coin per corpse."
Cheng Lang joked as he handed the other party a leather bag containing two hundred gold coins.
"If there is such a good opportunity in the future, I don't mind selling it at half price." Captain Lu Ting weighed the leather bag and stuffed it into his arms.
"As long as it can fit in the tombstone," Cheng Lang also gave a tactful promise.
Both sides wisely ended the topic. Captain Lu Ting called the sailors waiting outside the outer dock to come in and carry out the 20-coin cannons distributed to them as battle bonuses.
After working all night, the repair speed of the Furnace and Flamingo increased sharply after half a core of iron rubber blood was fed into the heart of the ship.
Taking advantage of this time, the two ships also replaced their respective gun decks with 20-coin cannons obtained from Cheng Lang, and the four cannons inlaid with half armor plates were all placed on the deck of the Flamingo.
At this point, Cheng Lang was able to analyze and confirm that the ability given to Mr. Lu Ting by the heart of the Furnace might be to make the fired shells explode.
Before daybreak, Mr. Lu Ting also asked an unfamiliar sailor to come forward as the captain of the Furnace and sell all the 15-coin cannons that were replaced by their three ships, as well as the captured cannons that were not liked.
Cheng Lang didn't know the total price of the transaction, but what he got alone was 500 gold coins and a free berth for a week.
This trip back and forth actually made up for the battle bonuses he had shared and the money he had used to buy corpses.
Of course, this could also be something Senfa and Captain Luting did intentionally.
In any case, by daybreak, although the three ships had not been completely repaired, they were at least ready to go out to sea at any time.
After a short rest, Yafuso yawned and left her room, humming a tune happily as she crossed the open deck and headed towards the kitchen in the forecastle. She was going to prepare meals for everyone on board.
"Oh - beautiful lady, please accept our sincere morning greetings."
Almost as soon as she entered the forecastle, the two pirate brothers imprisoned in the corral uttered a disgusting greeting in unison, as if they had practiced it countless times.
"ah!"
Startled, Yafuso took a step back in panic, then ran towards the kitchen like a frightened deer.
At the same time, the two vine goblins who were cleaning outside the pen also took off the whips hanging around their waists.
"Beautiful lady, please wait a moment!"
Before the whip could hit him, the short, fat Kerwick shouted, "My brother and I want to talk to the captain of this ship! We want to talk to him! Oh—!"
He had barely finished his words when the whips swung by the goblins across the corral hit his buttocks, causing him and his tall and thin brother to scream in pain.
At this time, Yafso, who was busy preparing breakfast, had no time to care about their lives. Now there were two more mouths on the boat that needed to eat, and one of them looked like a big eater, so she had to prepare more food.
"Yafuso, do you need my help?"
Just at this moment, Yun Ji, who was rescued last night, also walked in. She was wearing a set of clothes borrowed from Cheng Lang. There was no way, Yafusuo's clothes were too small for her.
"Don't you need to rest?" asked Yafuso.
"I'm fine now." Yun Ji waved her hand and started to help prepare breakfast.
She wasn't injured, and compared to her tortured brother, she just needed a good bath.
"Yafuso, do you know where this ship will go next?" asked Yun Ji while helping to boil goat milk.
"Pirate City"
Yafuso answered casually, "We originally just wanted to seek refuge in the Pirate City, and it was the captain who took us in."
"The captain took you in?"
Yun Ji looked at Yafuso in astonishment. Last night, after taking a bath, she had a brief conversation with the undead in the elf dagger and then fainted. She did not have time to talk to Yafuso.
“We are the sailors of this ship now”
Yafuso said happily, "We have fought several battles since we left the Suzaku Islands."
"The Captain will take you in"
Yun Ji stopped talking halfway. She belatedly remembered what she had learned from the dark elf ghosts, and also remembered the black hair that was revealed last night after the captain took off his hypocritical mask.
"If you and Shenba also want to stay, why not go and talk to the captain now?"
As Yafuso spoke, she had already placed a tray with a plate of bread, a plate of vegetable salad, two boiled eggs and two glasses of milk.
"Thank you"
Yun Ji thanked him, suppressed her anxiety, and left the kitchen with breakfast for two.
"Beautiful lady! Please help us talk to the captain. We want to talk to him!"
In the corral, Kervik, who had just been whipped for breakfast, said this and hid behind his brother.
Turning her head to look at the captives in the pen and the chimpanzees outside wearing canvas shorts, Yun Ji quickly withdrew her gaze.
Walking back into the stern deck, Yun Ji found the door to the captain's bedroom with the help of Gerta, then took a deep breath and knocked on the door carefully.
In the captain's bedroom, Cheng Lang, who had a rare good night's sleep thanks to the "table lamp armor", was awakened by a knock on the door. He reached out and picked up the mirror on the bedside table and took a look.
The magic mirror naturally knew what he wanted to see, and immediately showed Yun Ji outside the door holding breakfast.
"High-end Tifa!"
Cheng Lang lost all sleepiness immediately after seeing the beautiful girl in the mirror. He quickly said "wait a moment" and then got up as quickly as possible, put on his clothes and opened the floor-to-ceiling window.
When he opened the door, Tifa, no, Yun Ji also said cautiously, "Captain, I'll bring you breakfast."
"come in"
Cheng Lang warmly invited the other party into the room.
