The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Battle in Three Places (2)

Lothar lay on the bed in the room, quietly listening to the movements around him.

There are still many crew members of the Hook Gang living near Lothar’s room, and Lothar can clearly hear them discussing something in a low voice.

“Is the captain really not going to kill that kid?”

“How can we people guess what the captain is thinking, but I always feel that the captain should have figured out a way to kill that kid.”

“No way, I think the captain is very enthusiastic about that kid.”

“Idiot, have you ever seen the captain be so warm to people? He must want to do something to that kid.”

“That Miss Fortune…”

“Bad luck is just a bitch. Even if the captain kills his lover, she still dares to turn it against us. We don’t have to do it ourselves, just wait quietly for the captain to make a move.”

Lothar listened to the conversations in several rooms at the same time. Most of the rooms exchanged the same content, and they all agreed that Planck would do something to Lothar.

“I’m really on a thief ship.” Lothar’s eyes became colder. “It’s already far away from Bilgewater. Plank hasn’t done anything to me yet. Do you want to wait until Shadow Island…”

Lothar was not affected by the conversations around him. Although they all said that Planck had no goodwill towards Lothar, at least Planck did not do anything against Lothar at the moment, and even invited Lothar to go fishing every day. Drinking and eating together, very friendly.

“It would be great if Mengchen could read people’s hearts… It’s a pity that Planck has not shown any obvious emotional fluctuations to me so far, and Mengchen can’t catch it.” Lothar was bored and took the book on the table. The book was picked up and flipped through.

A few days ago, Plank asked him to read this book. How could Lothar recognize the text that he had never seen before, so he casually said a few words in the dialect of a certain tribe in the Freljord and mixed it in, the Freljord It’s too far away from Bilgewater, and it’s almost impossible for Freljord people to come here except for freaks like Olaf, and there are many Freljord dialectsNo, Lothar is not afraid that anyone on board Planck will see through Lothar’s nonsense.

“Let’s go for a walk.” Lothar threw the book on the bed, “Push open the door of my room.”

No one guarded Lothar, and no one followed him. Planck did not stipulate that Lothar could not go anywhere on the boat. Lothar was really treated like a guest on board.

Lothar walked onto the deck. It was already night. Many crew members on the deck were holding torches and whale oil lamps for lighting. They saw Planck standing at the bow and looking at something with a telescope.

“What are you doing?” Lothar walked up to Planck and asked.

“Oh, you’re here, look.” Planck handed the telescope to Lothar, “Look over there, we’re almost there.”

Lothar heard what he said, and even without a telescope, he could see what was in the distance.

black mist.

A black mist darker than night.

Even though the black mist is only a small dot now, Lothar estimated the distance. The real size of the black mist may be quite terrifying.

“What is that?” Lothar asked.

“No one knows what it is. They just call it black mist anyway.” Plank stepped on the bow of the ship and put his hands on his knees. “The black mist has never dissipated. Below the black mist is the Shadow Island.”

“What exactly are we going there for?”

“To experiment with something.”

“what?”

Plank smiled: “Do you still remember that auction?”

Lothar’s heart moved: “Of course I remember, bad luck took me to learn a lot.”

“Haha, I remember that you two also bought a lot of good things, all of which you spent with bad luck money?”

“No way, I have no money.”

“Hahaha, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. With your strength, what you can bring to Doom is far better than that little money.” Plank waved his hand, “But Doom really spoils you, I think you still put the auction The white stick I bought online, is it really a magic weapon?”

“I don’t know either.” Of course it was impossible for Lothar to say anything about the pure white hunting bow, with a regretful expression on his face, “This is also the first time I went to an auction, and my heart was moved when I heard that this thing might be an artifact , Doom also persuaded me not to buy it, but I bought it anyway, but I didn’t understand what it was for when I bought it back, and I was unwilling to waste so much money, so I took it with me.”

“Hahaha, that Doom really loves you so much that you even came to borrow money from me in order to satisfy you, hahaha!”

Lothar and Plank chatted happily. They chat like this almost every day. In the past few days, they have decided how many cakes to make for Lothar and Miss Fortune’s wedding, and how many candles to put on the cakes. .

“Why did we get lost while chatting? Haha.” Plank changed the subject, “Do you still remember the [Secret Treasure of the Three Kings] at the auction?”

“of course I remember.”

“Guess who took the picture?”

“Of course it’s you.” Lothar said with a smile, “With your financial resources, it shouldn’t be difficult to take care of all three, right?”

“Then you think highly of me, our little Bilgewater is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” Plank looked into Lothar’s eyes and said, “I only succeeded in bidding for two of the secret treasures, One of them was bought by someone else, and I don’t know who it will be, who do you think is the most likely?”

Of course Lothar knew who got the secret treasure, and he said with an unchanged expression: “I haven’t been in Bilgewater for long, and many people don’t know about it, but the successful bidder must be the boss of a certain gang or something.” Bar.”

“Haha, those guys may be very rich, but don’t forget that gold sea monsters are not allowed in that auction. So some people with precious treasures and unknown origins may be the winners of this secret treasure.” Lan Ke narrowed his eyes, “Maybe you bought it.”

Losa smiled and said: “You flatter me too much. I even spend bad luck money to buy things. Where can I get precious things to exchange for secret treasures? Even if I have them, I won’t show what those secret treasures look like. In case If I change to something inexplicable like that white stick, I will be miserable.”

Lothar thought of that shiny golden dildo, and sincerely felt that he had really traded for a loss.

“Hahaha, that’s right. An auction is a gamble.” Plank patted Lothar on the shoulder, “Although I got two secret treasures, I only got one.”

Lothar was taken aback: “Why?”

“The other one was stolen by a thief.”

“Steal who is so powerful that he can steal things that greedy the market”

“I also want to know which thief is so courageous to steal what I bought.” Plank gritted his teeth and said, “The gluttonous market is not willing to compensate me. I have lost a lot this time.”

“Don’t be sad, with your power, it will be a matter of time before you catch that thief.” Lothar comforted.

“Thank you.” Plank sighed, “But the people in the gluttonous market told me what the secret treasure that was stolen was.”

“what”

Plank leaned on the ship’s side, looking at Lothar playfully: “It’s a book.”

Lothar felt cold behind his back.

“A black book.” Plank tapped his fingers on the ship’s side, “It seems…it’s quite similar to the book you brought from home.”

Lothar stared at Planck’s eyes, as if he saw a sea snake lurking underwater, finally showing its fangs.
