Chapter 147: The War Drum Is About to Beat
The first scene is an unknown shipyard.
The boat under your feet was custom-made by a musician, and it took several years to complete the entire boat.
She was very beautiful at that time.
The whole body is golden with some other colors, like an elegant musical instrument, it looks extremely elegant and gorgeous. The white sails are not stained with any color.
Alka clearly saw the name of the ship on the hull.
The Musician.
What followed was a voyage that lasted more than ten years. Countless grand concerts were even held on the ship, and the ship gradually became famous.
Until it was captured by a pirate.
The pirate repainted the "Musician" and hoisted a black sail.
Fortunately, this pirate and his pirate group seem to be very interested in music.
It's just that the elegant music of the past has turned into rough sea singing.
It was renamed "Song of the Deep".
After an unknown amount of time, the pirates were captured and killed, and the ship once again fell into the hands of a certain navy.
It was sold to an exploration group. In addition to replacing the sails, the ship was also given a new name "Voice of Dreams".
No other changes were made.
This ship grew with the exploration team step by step. As it grew stronger, they also engraved spells on the ship to make it even more powerful.
This gives the ship a strong physique.
At this time, the leader of the exploration team was holding something like a harmonica in his hand.
It is the magical item that Arca used to summon the vessel.
At this time, the leader of the exploration team arrived at the end and got a treasure related to music.
This treasure was so consistent with the experience of the ship that the leader of the exploration team felt that it was the ship that bestowed him with luck.
This spell-casting ship was also affected by the treasure and was about to become a real ghost ship as it sailed.
However, at this moment, the environment suddenly changed.
The news of the treasure leaked out.
At this time, the environment seemed very hazy and nothing could be seen. The only thing that could be seen was that something attacked the exploration team.
The entire group was completely destroyed, and no one knew where the harmonica used to summon the ship had gone.
The ghost ship, which had just gained wisdom but did not yet have full autonomous consciousness, began to drift alone on the sea.
The ship, which had already .
Acting on instinct, the vessel landed in a safe cave until it reached the harmonica that Alka played.
He doesn't have much autonomy.
Just relying on instinct, I responded to the call of the harmonica .
Then the bubbles dimmed and disappeared.
The ship's autonomous consciousness was too weak, and the dream lasted only a short while, allowing her to tell Alka about her life.
Alka was once again enveloped in the rainbow-colored mist.
From the environmental changes just now, Alka could tell that the exploration team was destroyed at least 400 years ago, before the war broke out.
Because at that time, it was not pitch black around.
Until later, the ship sailed alone, and the exact time of the voyage is unknown.
It was not until the darkness exploded and hit the ship, which was about to be damaged and could not hold on, that she found a safe place and stopped.
At that time, I blew the whistle on the boat for the purpose of testing, and thus woke it up again.
After understanding the context of the matter, Alka resurfaced to reality.
Once again I saw this shabby and almost completely destroyed ship.
There is a new and different feeling.
In the dream, I witnessed her life quickly, from birth to growth and strength, to now she is on the verge of death.
He tapped the mast gently.
"You've been through so much, and you've managed to survive. It's really hard for you."
"If you're willing, then you can sail with me later. I'll find a way to restore you to your original state and make you better. How about that?"
As Alka finished speaking, a beeping sound came from the ship, weaving into a moving music.
Having witnessed the ship's later performance, Alka could understand what she meant.
"Then it seems you agree."
A smile appeared on Alka’s face.
With this ship that is about to become a ghost ship, as long as it is repaired, you can use your treasures to start enlightening it again.
It won't be long before it becomes a real ghost ship.
Compared to re-enlightening yourself, it saves a lot of time.
This is very good.
"So is this really a ghost ship?"
Xia Daiti and his men gathered around and asked Alka with wide eyes.
This is a legendary ship, and I heard about it from Lucelia.
Before this, they had no idea that such an autonomous ship existed.
Alka nodded, then shook her head and said, "Yes, but not completely. Her previous owner was a man with a treasure who enlightened the ship, but when it was about to be successfully enlightened to become a ghost ship, her master died, so it became like this now."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"So what is he now..." Jason asked.
Hearing Jason's words, Alka patted the main mast and said to Jason with a smile: "You have to call her that. She is a girl. Be careful that she will whip you with a rope again."
"Okay, okay, her."
After all, it is men who operate on the sea all year round, so they naturally treat these ships as daughters and always call them girls.
When it is enlightened and wise, it naturally becomes her.
"She is willing to follow me now, but I have to repair her properly after we get out. She can't be as shabby as she is now."
"But we are going now..." Xia Daiti reminded from the side.
"Oh, yes."
Alka was so happy that he forgot about it and slapped his forehead.
Said to the air on the ship.
"We are going to do something very dangerous now. Find a place to hide and we will call you again in half a month. How about you come back to us then?"
There was a moving tune coming from the boat, but an unhappy tone could be heard in the tune.
She seemed reluctant.
"Don't worry, it will only take half a month."
Then he emphasized, "I promise."
The tone of the music was a little low, but it finally picked up again.
"Then let's put it this way."
After saying that, several people jumped off the boat and returned to the deck of their own ship.
The music gradually sounded, with a hint of sadness.
Several people on the boat waved.
Watch this musical ship disappear into the night.
"It's amazing that there are ships with autonomous consciousness." Jason couldn't help but say.
Lucilia was on Xia Deti's shoulder, her voice full of excitement: "In other words, we will have a ghost ship in the future? A real ghost ship! Haha, that's great!"
"Only if we can survive this time."
Julia stood nearby and spoke calmly as she watched the ship sail into the darkness.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
…
Time flies by.
Alka once again emerged from the world of dreams.
He just followed the connection and flew to the two overlapping bubbles again, secretly looking at the situation inside.
Watching his father inside, he continued to beat Jack until the bubble burst.
And his father's bubble had indeed always remained in the dream space and rarely broke.
The bursting of his father's bubble must have been an attempt to seize control of his body, and he would succeed from time to time.
But the bubbles burst rarely and for a short time.
Basically, you will be kicked back after a short period of time, and the dream bubbles will reappear.
As for whether the snatch was successful, we only need to look at our father's performance after the bubble reappears.
Cursing loudly means a failed attempt to snatch something, while cursing with gloating means a successful attempt to snatch something.
It also made Alka sure that there was nothing wrong with everything.
He still didn't trust his father very much until now, after observing for a long time, he confirmed it.
After all, all my feelings towards him come from memories, and I have no personal experience.
The body sitting in the room opened its eyes.
Alka straightened his clothes, opened the door and entered the captain's room.
After thinking for a moment, he took out two stacks of cards from his ring.
Walked out of the captain's room.
At this time on the deck, everyone on the ship was communicating with each other and making final preparations.
They were already heading towards Elcot Island, and there wasn't much distance left, only a day at most.
The day of meeting is just around the corner.
This has been confirmed from the church's intelligence.
All the remaining ships and crew members of the Prayer Pirates gathered around Alcott Island.
The church is also ready to cooperate with them in their actions at any time.
This pirate group must be annihilated and taught a bloody lesson.
The Pray for the Dead Pirates should have realized that the Church had surrounded them, but they still resolutely stayed on Elcot Island, waiting for Alka's arrival.
Sivers's regard for Alka exceeded everyone's imagination.
But only Alka knew why.
Alka came out and handed the two stacks of cards in his hand to Xiadaiti and Jason.
"You know how to use it, right? I'll leave it to you to use."
After hearing what Alka said, the two took the stack of cards in their hands.
There are various functional cards plus three-color cards, which will definitely be of great help in battle.
Especially for Jason, who only has the strength of one spiral.
After thinking for a while, Alka said, "Jason, when the battle starts, you must follow the church's actions."
Jason heard this and nodded silently.
Because Alka and his companions wanted to go inside to face the leader of the Prayer for the Dead Pirates, it would be too dangerous for him to follow them in a spiral.
Following the church's actions and killing pirates on the periphery is safer and more reasonable.
He did not refuse because that was the strength.
The gap has become too big.
As for these two stacks of cards, they must have come from Alcardo.
At this time, there was no treasure left in Alka's ring. He took out all the treasure and threw it into the cabin.
Everything inside is for combat or items that can help in combat.
The most numerous things are naturally various kinds of cards. After more than a month of preparation, he might not be able to finish playing with all the cards from the beginning to the end.
These materials were also purchased from the church.
Everyone was communicating quietly on the deck, waiting for the ship to arrive at Alcot Island.
…
Elcot Island.
The temporary base of the Prayer Pirates.
There was a flagship and three large sailing ships floating around, as well as many pirate speedboats.
Thousands of pirates gathered on these ships.
In addition to them, there are several pirate ships on the periphery, but judging from the flags, they do not seem to belong to the same team.
This place has become a pirate's lair.
All the ordinary pirates were reveling in the carnival, waving bottles and cutlasses, singing and dancing in the dark.
It seemed as if it wanted to dispel the darkness.
There was no seriousness at all as if a battle was about to begin.
Some pirates suddenly fell to the ground and trembled in such a situation.
The other pirates would just laugh when they saw this and throw him overboard, sending the ship sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Only those who were touched by the Prayers for the Dead Pirates had grim expressions and remained silent.
Two Touchers from the Deathly Haunted Pirates stood on the bow of a pirate ship.
Silent, not knowing what he was waiting for, looking at the darkness ahead.
"A slave who holds power is still just a slave."
Hearing his companion's sudden words, the pirate next to him glanced at him: "It's better than being a powerless slave."
"That's right, Virgin Mary bless you."
"Bless your ass, the Virgin Mary will beat you."
However, his companion beside him ignored him and continued to pray with his hands crossed.
He shook his head helplessly and suddenly asked, "Do you regret it? Regret coming here and becoming such a pirate."
The pirate put his hands down and shook his head.
"I don't regret it. At least I have the power, right? Even though I'm like a slave, what difference does it make outside?
It’s just that the way they are enslaved is different.”
"This is a very philosophical sentence. If you die, I will carve this sentence on your tombstone as your epitaph."
"Haha, what about you? What do you want me to carve on your tombstone?"
"I don't believe in the Virgin Mary, just throw me into the sea."
"Well, hopefully I'll get a chance to throw you into the ocean."
"And I hope I get a chance to carve your epitaph."
The conversation between the two standing at the bow did not affect Jack on the flagship at all.
"Captain, will he come?"
The old man who had been following Jack suddenly asked.
"Yes, I can feel it. He is coming towards us."
"Are you ready? I don't want to be disturbed by the church."
Hearing this, the old man next to him nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain, I'm ready and will definitely be able to buy you enough time."
"That's good. Only by putting down enough bait can you catch the fish you want.
I couldn't help laughing out loud when I thought that the pirate group I had carefully managed for so many years would be destroyed here."
At this point, Jack really showed an elegant smile on his face.
He didn't take the pirates under his command who worked hard for him seriously at all.
"You have caught something more valuable, and it is worth it to fish for more bait."
"But... won't the other you steal your body?" the old man reminded him carefully.
If the body was snatched away at the critical moment, wouldn't everything that had happened before be wasted?
Hearing this, Jack smiled faintly again and pulled at the white gloves on his hands.
"Don't worry, I'll give him a chance before the fight, and then he won't bother me anymore."
In the dream, Sivers quietly watched Jack's performance outside.
"I really hope you can still laugh in a while."
At this moment, he was no longer angry as usual, but calm.
…
Time passes by little by little.
Standing at the bow, Jack felt the source of his blood getting closer and closer, and the smile on his face became more and more unstoppable.
Until at the end of my vision, I saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.
Alka comes.
The moment the light appeared, Jack's face changed immediately.
Although the face is still the same, the whole person's temperament has changed drastically.
It makes people feel like a different person.
Sievers temporarily took over the body.
"You let me out on purpose, you're such a bastard."
He muttered to himself, then looked at the old man next to him: "Let that big-headed shark, I mean the hammerhead shark, go to greet them! Remember, let him go alone."
Although the old man knew that the person controlling the body was no longer the previous captain, he still nodded and gave the order.
The hammerhead shark man who received the order had a dejected look on his face. Isn't this just asking himself to die?
I didn't expect that it would suddenly be my turn to be unlucky.
The other pirates around who heard the order looked at him with pity.
Although he knew he faced death, he still jumped into the sea.
Swim quickly towards the oncoming ship.
If you don't go, you will die, but if you go, you may still survive.
It is clear how to choose him.
Then Sivers shouted to the pirates behind him, "Where's Andre? He's the leader of the treasure hunting group that we captured. Come up to me."
"yes!"
The pirates behind him acted quickly, and soon Andre, who was tied up with chains, was pressed up by several Toucher pirates.
At this time, Andre's right arm had been completely broken, and his body and cheeks were covered with scars, but these wounds had long since healed.
Judging from his current condition, at least he is fine and not in danger of life.
When Andre was pressed in front of Sivers, Andre looked at him quietly: "Are you planning to kill me?"
Sivers ignored him and continued to speak to the pirates behind him: "Gather your boats together, face the enemy from the side, and then put away your guns."
"ah?"
"Ah what? Do as I say if you want to live."
"Yes, yes." The pirate quickly passed down Sivers' order.
But his mind was already confused. If they gathered together and put away the guns, wouldn't that mean they would get beaten?
