Fairy’s Box

The octopus in the glass jar cracked open the cork, half of its body emerged from the water, raised the two tentacles at the front, and swayed twice in the air—it seemed to be a gesture of greeting.

"Hi! Brother, we meet again!" The little octopus made a loud voice that didn't match its size.

"Squidward……"

The black-haired knight heard Babur's voice, and hurriedly bent down, staring at its one eye the size of sesame seeds, and asked in surprise and delight:

"Is it really you, how did you become so small?"

"If it doesn't change, it might become a big news about the Sea Devil's invasion of Celtic. What you and I do is not very glamorous. It's better to keep a low profile."

As an elder who has lived for so many years, Brother Octopus has seen many famous sea monsters hunted and killed by humans, and he all understands the truth of making a fortune in silence.

"you're right."

Yale agreed deeply, then sat up straight and said straight to the point:

"Let's talk about my side first. I have a lot of shady goods that I want to transport to the New World. After thinking about it, I still have to rely on you to help me carry it."

"Impossible goods...Is there a big risk?" Babur's voice became serious.

"It shouldn't be too big for you. The chances of being discovered from deep seas are too low. But once you are discovered by the Federation, you will be out of luck. It is estimated that they will be on their hunt list. But I can guarantee, Kai There will always be a habitat for you in the waters of Erte, and no one can help you here."

In the attitude of not pitting allies, the black-haired knight almost directly pointed out the matter. It is up to you to choose whether to do it or not. If you have money, everyone will make it together. If you are unlucky in the future, don't blame me.

"Hahaha, brother, you are really straightforward, I like it."

Babur let out a loud laugh, the two tentacles at the front held the edge of the can, put his head close to each other, deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"The risk is so great, what are you planning to smuggle?"

The black-haired knight lowered his head and approached the octopus lying on the mouth of the bottle, and said in a voice that only three people could hear:

"arms."

"Arms... this is incredible... the risk is too great..."

Brother Octopus was thoughtful, his tentacles unconsciously stroked the water, and the glass bottle made a soft sound of water waves swaying.

"Share! As long as you are willing to do it, I will give you 5% of the order!"

After Yale finished saying this, he found that the other party was still unmoved, and immediately added: "Each transaction between me and the New World is hundreds of millions of transactions, and you can get tens of millions in one trip."

"What!? Tens of millions in one trip? Done!"

Brother Octopus seems to be extremely sensitive to numbers. After hearing that he can earn tens of millions of profits per order, his whole body suddenly propped up from the mouth of the can, and his skin instantly turned pink with excitement.

"Cough, father." Davy Jones coughed lightly, as if reminding him of something.

"Oh oh oh!"

Brother Octopus quickly faded from the red color, and the eight tentacles rubbed against each other, putting on an embarrassed expression: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to take this business, it's that brother is embarrassed now."

"What's the problem, bro?" Yale's expression was all ears.

"The thing is, my brother's lair is near the Mid-Atlantic, which is what you call the Uncharted Sea. It's not very peaceful there..."

When Babur said this, he waved his tentacles at Davy Jones behind him, who immediately took out an old tawny chart and spread it on the mahogany table.

The black-haired knight quickly turned his gaze to the chart, and found that there were many complex topographical signs circled in the mid-Atlantic, and hundreds of large and small islands were distributed in the mysterious sea. The outside is surrounded by rapid ocean currents, and the center is the mysterious Bermuda.

"Look, brother, my lair was originally here."

Babur nimbly drilled out of the glass bottle, jumped onto the table "baha", stretched out a wet tentacle, pointed to an island at the edge of the mysterious sea, and sighed in frustration:

"Brother, my lair is next to this island. This island is where my brother saves money and stores goods, and it is also a territory in the mysterious sea. Everything was fine. A boat to play, but just a few months ago... was robbed by a group of dead bones!"

"Ugh!"

Davy Jones sighed cooperatively, as if an honest man was angry and complaining to an acquaintance.

"..."

Yale's face was expressionless, and his heart was not fluctuating - in the business of robbery, isn't it normal for the boat to capsize in the gutter?

"Speaking of these dead bones, they used to be very honest. They stayed in their lair all day long and didn't come out. They were only active when it was foggy or cloudy, and they went to sea alone. Active, even dare to act during the day, and it is a collective large-scale operation.”

Babur pointed to a sea area not far away on the chart, and explained carefully:

"Look, the islands in this area are all their territory. They are called ghost islands by sea devils and pirates. They are very powerful. I am separated from them by several islands, and I have never provoke these dead bones. I didn't expect to be targeted all of a sudden. I'm not afraid of them one-on-one, but the bones of this group of dead people came out of their nests. Once they were dispatched, there were many masts and thousands of miles. I can't beat them, so I can only let them occupy the nest ."

"There is such a thing!"

The black-haired knight clenched his brows. He never knew that there were such a large number of undead hidden in the Uncharted Sea, and that a sea monster like Babur could escape without a fight.

"Yeah, it's so unreasonable!"

Babur was obviously wrong, and thought that Yale was feeling indignant for it.

"Brother Octopus, is the big business you're talking about... this group of undead?" Yale asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm not afraid of ghost fleets in the water, but on the shore, I have nothing to do with them. Brother, I have inquired about you, and I know you are a capable person. As long as you help me retake the lair and the island, the sea Mo Babur's treasure is half for you!"

Brother Octopus said bitterly, while waving the tiny tentacles vigorously, leaving sticky scratches on the table, obviously hating the group of ghosts to the bone.

"Good to say."

Yale narrowed his eyes, a strange light swirled in his dark pupils, stretched out a finger, and pressed it on the nautical chart:

"I don't want your treasure, Brother Octopus. I will find a way to deal with the ghost fleet. There is only one condition. Before defeating them, you must act according to my will."

"what?"

Both Babur and Davy Jones were stunned. They didn't expect the conditions of the black-haired knight to be so generous, as if they were helping them in vain.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want treasure, I want something else." The black-haired knight glanced at the chart and stayed at the location of the Ghost Islands, with an inconspicuous arc on his lips:

"Like a few ghost ships."

...

Babur obviously did not expect the black-haired knight to have such a unique taste. The one-eyed sesame-sized one-eyed stared at him suspiciously. After a while, he said hesitantly:

"Brother, it's too much for you to suffer like this. What's so good about those rotten boats, even if they are given to you, you won't be able to use them."

"Brother Octopus, don't worry, I want the ghost ship to have its own ideas, so I won't suffer."

Yale's eyes were fixed on the chart and the ghost islands, and the light in his pupils became sharper - what he wanted was not just the ghost ship, but the entire ghost fleet.

The Celtic province is isolated overseas, and no matter how strong the army is, it can only bully the Highland Kingdom, and now the latter is already a vassal of the empire, and there is basically no possibility of becoming an enemy. If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, it must come from the sea, so a fleet with combat effectiveness and capable of long-range delivery is urgently needed.

Since the Empire has the Highland Kingdom to share the pressure, most of them will not invest more funds in the Celtic provinces, so if you want the fleet, you can only rely on yourself to find a way.

However, relying on the current financial resources and technology of the Governor's House, it is impossible to do it, let alone manufacturing warships, even the daily maintenance of the Quincy is extremely difficult.

And even if they are built, they can’t afford it. The navy is a famous gold-devouring devil. When the magic stone is burned, it is a bottomless pit. There is no huge stable income. Even the sea of ​​gold and silver can drain you.

Therefore, it is impossible to have a fleet in the Celtic provinces by conventional methods. If you want a fleet, you can only ask for it from an unconventional angle - such as a ghost ship.

Yale and Charlene have seen the power of ghost ships. If they are used to form a fleet, the Celtic province will have a reliable force, and the army can also use them for delivery.

As long as there is a fleet, many things that could only be planned in the mind before can be put into practice immediately.

However, if you want to swallow the Ghost Fleet, it is difficult to rely on his strength, so you must gather as much strength as possible, even with the help of external forces.

At this moment, the black-haired knight's mind worked extremely fast, and quickly locked in several external forces that could be used. The octopus Babur in front of me is the most important one.

"Okay, since you said so, brother, the matter is settled. After the event is completed, your business will be held by my brother, and you will only receive 3% of each order."

Brother Octopus looked very happy. From its point of view, it didn't cost much for him to hold a strong foreign aid.

"Judging from what you just described, the Ghost Fleet must be a very powerful maritime force. To deal with them, you must gather as much force as possible, and maybe use the rest of the forces in the Uncharted Sea. Give me a detailed look. Can you introduce me?" The black-haired knight made this request logically.

"There is a way, it makes sense!"

Brother Octopus nodded again and again, feeling even more reliable in his work, so he explained with all his might:

"In general, there are four forces in the Uncharted Sea, one of which is the force of our sea demons, but we are all used to being free, and we like to live together in a family style, so although our strength is strong, we cannot concentrate.

The second force is the undead forces. As I said just now, they have now been reorganized. Of course, the dead are not afraid of death. They are very powerful when fighting collectively.

The third group is the pirate force. This group of pirates is the most active force in the mysterious sea, often looting merchant ships and absorbing new forces. Fighting with the most ferocious currents and monsters for a long time has also made them develop a strong ability. When they go out in groups, our sea monsters have to sell a bit of face.

The power of human pirates is intricate, but there are four main bosses, nicknamed Whitebeard, Giant Beast, Witch and Redhead. These four people have the power that our sea devils are also afraid of. The strongest white beard is similar to you, and it can be said that they are the pillars of human survival in the mysterious sea. "

When Brother Octopus said this, a strange look flashed in his one eye, and he spread out his tentacles in a helpless posture:

"But they all have their own quirks... Whitebeard likes to take sons, giant beasts like to commit suicide, witches addicted to sugar, redheads are always selling face everywhere. It's up to you if you can use their power or not. If we succeed, our goal is half achieved.”

"It's weird..."

Yale couldn't help sighing, silently keeping their hobbies in mind, and then reminding Babur: "Didn't you say there are four forces?"

"Actually, there were only three strands, and the extra strand is an emerging force."

Brother Octopus tightened his elongated tentacles, his body shrunk into a ball, showing a look of fear:

"A group of iron-clad men who came out of nowhere, claiming to be the remnants of Atlantis, invaded and occupied the surrounding islands of Bermuda with a devastating offensive, and named it the Eye of the Sea. Their leader claimed to be Sea Emperor, the specific strength is not clear, but according to the strength of several generals under him, I am afraid it will not be inferior to those pirate leaders."

"Sea Emperor...?" The black-haired knight sounded familiar, and with a flash of inspiration, he asked tentatively, "He...is there a general named Hailong?

"How do you know? Have you seen him?"

Babur's body suddenly swelled with a "pop", eight tentacles supported his huge head, and he suddenly arched off the table. He stared at Yale with one eye, looking impatiently eager for answers.

"After fighting, he was kicked out by me."

The black-haired knight couldn't stand the fishy smell, and held his breath and replied.

"Even you couldn't kill Hailong?"

Brother Octopus shrank his head back, the eyes in his one eye flickered, and sighed faintly: "It seems that I still underestimated the power of the sea emperor, he should be stronger than I thought."

"We can't rush this matter, and many details must be figured out slowly. Let's do this, Brother Octopus, you guys stay here for a while, and we'll find a way while collecting information." Yale gave a statement that they couldn't refuse. proposal.

"No problem." Babur agreed.

After leaving Brother Octopus and Davy Jones in the Governor's Mansion, the black-haired knight exchanged information with them every day to discuss ways to attack the Ghost Fleet. At the same time, I worked **** the Dou Qi of the Rock, and I planned to go out to sea with them for a field investigation after I learned the Dou Qi of the Power of Darkness after the Rock Armor was completed.
