Chapter 68: The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman runs away
Fred shared the news, or rather the rumor, with the team members over dinner.
After hearing this, Roman also had some information about "Lieutenant Admiral Twilight" in his mind.
Different from the fact that he only played very few roles in the original work, in the central and northern parts of the Sunya Sea and the entire North Sea, the name of "Vice Admiral Dusk" Bulatov Ivan is well known.
"Twilight Lieutenant General" Bulatov Ivan is a ferocious and powerful warrior who is not afraid of bullets or even artillery. There are rumors that the Church of God of War is behind him, but there is no definite evidence.
He is active in the North Sea and the Sunian Sea. He has a fleet of seven or eight ships under his command. He often disperses his activities and is especially willing to plunder merchant ships from the Kingdom of Loen.
Perhaps this is how the news that he has a background in the Church of God of War spread.
"Perhaps 'Vice Admiral Dusk' also heard about the ghost ship?" Roman guessed.
Just a rumor is not enough to scare everyone so much that they dare not enter that sea area. Even if it is true, it is just a ship under "Vice Admiral Dusk", and its strength may not be much stronger than the "Riptide Seagull".
Captain Fred only shared the news, and the ship continued to cruise in the waters there as planned.
In the early morning of July 22, Tingen, the weather was sunny.
Klein, who had just finished his shift for the night, yawned and left No. 36 Zotland Street after reporting to the captain the situation of the doomed puppet behind Chanis' door last night.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "How could I forget to tell the captain and Leonard about the piece of paper in Doom Doll's hand?"
Klein, who was confused and had some guesses, decided to go home first and go to the gray fog to perform divination to confirm one thing.
Daffodil Street, Klein's bedroom.
Klein came above the gray fog, looked at the evil and mysterious eye pattern on the parchment, and wrote down the divination sentence.
"This is the key to the treasure left behind by the Antigonus family."
…
He opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant rotating slightly clockwise with the silver chain.
This means affirmation in pendulum divination.
"The vertical eye pattern is really the key to the Antigonus family's treasure." Klein nodded slightly as if thinking.
He tapped his fingers slowly on the edge of the long bronze table and muttered silently to himself.
"The Antigonus family controls the fortune teller sequence. This is confirmed."
"Due to the death of Riel Bieber, the bloodline of the Antigonus family was cut off, so that notebook regards me, a living fortune teller who has come into contact with the notebook, as its inheritor?"
"It affects 3-0625, leaving the key to the treasure, so that the other party can show it to me when I am on duty at Chanis Gate?"
"This logic is correct, but it doesn't convince me."
"How does it confirm that the Antigonus family bloodline is extinct?" "And I am an irrelevant person...wait."
Klein suddenly remembered Mr. Power's words.
"Half a Fool..." Klein glanced at the gray fog that can enhance his divination ability and is obviously related to the "divineer" path.
"The ancestor of the Antigonus family is known as the 'Half Fool'."
"Is this gray fog really related to the Antigonus family? I gained partial permission because of that notebook? Is that why the Doom Puppets passed on information to me?"
Klein fell into self-doubt.
In the early morning of July 22, in the Zhongsunya Sea, the sky was gloomy.
After setting out to sea again to the west from Nas, the "Ripwater Seagull" has been sailing in the northern part of the Central Sunia Sea. It has been relatively calm these past few days.
Every day, we encounter some small and medium-sized pirate groups. Sometimes they will directly avoid the "Riptide Seagull" when they see it. I don't know whether it is because the news of the destruction of the "Fierce Fire" pirate group has spread, or the pirates have seen the "Riptide Seagull".
"Seagull" chose to stay away due to its relatively large hull and double-layered guns.
Roman thought it was the latter. Pirates have always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
It has only been a few days since the "Fierce Fire" pirate group was defeated, so it should not have spread in this sea area.
Sometimes when encountering small and medium-sized pirate groups that are plundering, the "Riptide Seagull" will start its own hunt without hesitation.
Roman, who didn't know that he made Mr. Fool doubt his life, still lived a regular life every day.
Perform your duties as the boatswain and lead the sailors to inspect and maintain the deck.
Then there is the constant fighting.
Every time he hunted pirates, Roman always took the lead and never feared a fight.
In addition, Roman usually interacts with the sailors without any pretensions, which also makes his reputation among the sailors rising day by day.
In the evening, Roman, who had just taken his turn to have dinner, was inspecting the deck. Due to weather changes, thick fog had appeared on the sea, visibility was very low, and the wind was not strong. The "Ripwater Seagull" only sailed slowly at a very low speed.
Suddenly, Roman heard an exclamation from the lookout.
"Bosun! There's a pirate ship."
Upon hearing this, Roman quickly ran to the bow of the ship, took the telescope handed over by the lookout hand, looked ahead through the lenses, and said to him:
"Go and report to the captain."
The lookout trotted all the way to the cabin. Through the thick fog, Roman also saw the pirate ship not far away.
To be precise, two pirate ships.
On the sea, the relationship between pirates is mutual cooperation and mutual hostility.
When facing prey, especially large prey that one pirate group can't eat, they don't mind cooperating with other pirate groups first.
But when the hunting is over, the two sides immediately return to a hostile relationship, and may even start fighting immediately. After all, many pirates are walking gold pounds.
Only when facing official ships can the pirates be relatively united, but that is also limited.
After all, when encountering an official ship, all you need to do is run faster than the other pirate groups.
However, two pirate groups, especially two pirate groups of equal strength, rarely engage in direct confrontation unless there is a major conflict of interest.
After all, once there is damage, the third party who may suddenly benefit will be the one who benefits, and the benefit is completely out of proportion to the risk.
So when Roman looked through the telescope and saw that the two ships exchanging fire in the distance were both pirate ships, he was very surprised.
Fred also came to the bow at this time. He took out his telescope and took a look, and then whispered in surprise:
"'Admiral Blood' and 'Lieutenant General Dusk'?" Then he said:
"No, that's not right, it's just that the ships under 'Admiral Blood' and 'Vice Admiral Dusk' are not the flagships of the two pirate generals."
Fred looked at the two ships. They were only flying the flags of "Admiral Blood" and "Vice Admiral Dusk", not the well-known "Tree of Flesh" and "Glory Dusk".
It should be just a subordinate ship.
At this time, the teammates also came to the bow of the ship and saw two pirate ships fighting not far away.
Since the distance was so close, Roman seemed to be able to hear the roar of the artillery on both ships.
"Captain, what should we do?" Hannah asked excitedly.
Fred glanced at her helplessly. He didn't know why she was so excited, but he just said:
"What else can we do? We are almost in the center of the battlefield. Keep the left rudder full and stay away from this sea area!" This chapter has been completed!
