"No, don't kill me. I still have two daughters to raise at home.”Edmond said anxiously. His head was pressed tightly against the table by the muzzle of the gun, and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
The one-eyed man snorted and said coldly,""Watch your mouth in the future. If you say anything, you will die without a burial place.”
He raised his gun and walked away without looking back. Edmond was still panting heavily on the table, not daring to move.
[Name: One-eyed (His real name has been forgotten, everyone calls him by this nickname)]
[Class: Musketeer (2nd rank)]
[Accuracy: ****]
He raised his eyebrows. This one-eyed man was actually not weak. He was currently lacking crew members on the ship, so he had the intention of recruiting him.
Once One-eye left, the tavern immediately returned to its previous clamor. People discussed animatedly with Edmond, and some even laughed at him for being timid. The boss was so angry that he was cursing. He hated people causing trouble in the tavern the most. As he cursed, he handed a glass of wine to Edmond to calm him down.
Tang Ge took out a few silver coins and threw them on the table, saying,"This is the commission for hiring sailors. You go and arrange it for me first.”
Edmond drank his wine shakily, not even touching his favorite silver coins. It was unknown if he had heard what Tang Ge had said.
Tang Ge followed closely behind with large strides. The hem of his black windbreaker fluttered in the wind. Many passersby were attracted by the big sword on his back and took a few more glances.
One-eyed noticed something and glanced at Tang Ge from the corner of his eye. His expression tightened and he quickened his pace.
The two of them walked for more than ten minutes and passed through three streets. One-eyed turned into a deep and quiet alley. There were old newspapers and broken bamboo baskets on the ground. Tang Ge followed him.
Tang Ge greeted him naturally.
"My glorious grave is buried under the precipice at the ends of the earth. I have let down the girl's longing for me. I hope she will forget me the next night.”One-eye's brainless opening speech confused Tongo and made him think that there was something wrong with One-eye.
In fact, this passage was extracted from the Pirate Code. It was similar to the slang on the Internet. To put it bluntly, it was the slang of the underworld. Those who could understand were definitely more experienced pirates. One-eye said this to test Tang Ge to see if he was in the same trade.
"Oh, you're a poet too." said Tongo, who hadn't understood a single word.
The moment One-eye pulled out his gun, Tongo also pulled out his greatsword. The muzzle and the tip of the sword faced each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. One-eyed's left eye was wearing a black eyepatch, and his right eye's pupil was constricted, forming a line with the muzzle of the gun. He did not act rashly because his opponent was not a small fry who could headshot him with one shot.
"We are not enemies for the time being, but if you dare to pull the trigger, it will be hard to say.”Tang Ge also pulled a long face and his tone became indifferent.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?”One-eye slowly lowered his hand that was holding the gun.
"It's quite awkward for a man to follow another man. Why aren't you a female shooter?”
One-eyed raised his pistol again.
"Alright, I'm actually a pirate captain. I saw that you're quite good with guns, so I wanted to find you to be my subordinate.”Tang Ge did not beat around the bush and said bluntly.
One-eyed looked deeply at Tang Ge and felt that he was not lying. He restrained his hostility and said,"Not interested, no need to talk." With that, he turned around and left.
"The salary I offered is very high."
Tang Ge felt that he was being looked down upon by the other party and scolded angrily,"F * ck, I'm looking for you because I think highly of you. Why are you so arrogant?”
One-eyed stopped in his tracks. He had been a pirate for almost ten years, and he had a temper that would flare up at the slightest touch of fire. He turned his head and said fiercely,"As I said earlier, a few words will cause you to die without a burial place.”
"Your shotgun doesn't seem to be enough to take my life.”Tongo retorted, scratching his chin again." If you were carrying an AK-47, that would be a different story.”
"Bang!"
Thick smoke rose from the pistol, and a round lead bullet flew out and brushed past Tongo's right side. Tang Ge was not fast enough to dodge bullets, but he could judge the opponent's shooting movement by observing his shoulder and fingers. That way, it would be easier to hide.
It took more than 20 seconds to load a flintlock. This kind of firing interval was a huge drawback. However, One-eye had two guns in his hand and a bag filled with various types of long and short flintlocks. He had already loaded these guns. After firing one shot, he could switch to another gun and fire continuously.
Tang Ge dodged the lead bullets one after another. If he could not dodge, he had to use his greatsword to swat them down. There were a few more wounds on the sword. One-eyed's shooting speed was very fast. He could shoot directly after grabbing a gun, and every shot was aimed at Tongo's body.
One-eye did not deliberately pull away, but focused more on speeding up his shooting speed. Tongo dodged dangerously, but he knew in his heart that once One-eye ran out of bullets, it would be his world as a swordsman.
Tang Ge bowed and stabbed his greatsword heavily into the ground. The wide blade blocked two bullets. After two explosions, two bulges appeared on the blade of the sword. The bullets had already embedded themselves in them, almost penetrating them.
He suddenly stood up and swung his sword. The biting cold sword aura was stirred up wantonly. A slash from top to bottom was slashed down, and some waste on the ground was swept away.
One-eye's long musket was cut in half!
At this moment, a group of people walked across the street. There were more than twenty of them. They were wearing the navy uniform of the Greenland Empire, and they were dragging long guns in their right hands. The barrel was resting on their shoulders, and there were swords at their waists. They gave off a sense of strict discipline.
The two people in the alley stopped at the same time. They leaned against the wall and pretended to be chatting. Obviously, neither of them wanted to alert the navy.
After the navy left, the two of them calmed down a little. They pondered for a moment and did not act rashly. Due to the navy's interruption, One-eye did not take off his blindfold.
"I think we should stop fighting. I don't want to kill you.”Tang Ge broke the deadlock.
"Humph, you sure have big words." One-eyed was so angry that he almost pulled out his gun again. However, he realized that there were only two guns in his hands that were still loaded, so he did not dare to move.
"Do you want to go for a drink?"
"We don't seem to be close enough to drink.”One-eye said with an unfriendly expression.
"Don't pull a long face. It's just a fight. In the past, many people became brothers with me after a fight.”
One-eyed looked like he had something on his mind. He couldn't let go at all and just drank there. If Tang Ge said something irrelevant, One-eye would just reply with "hmm" and "ah".
Tang Ge could only pick up the main point and asked,"Which ship are you a pirate on?"
One-eye's expression darkened as he replied in a low voice,""To tell you the truth, I'm from the Purgatory Pirates.”He blurted out the truth, but it was already too late when he realized his slip of the tongue.
"Why does it sound so familiar?" Tang Ge was stunned. When he recalled, his eyes widened." Your captain is the one who will be executed in a few days?”
One-eyed nodded gloomily, his face as gloomy as a cloudy day.
"No wonder you were so angry after listening to that kid.”Tongo nodded." Since your captain is going to die, why don't you find another job? I see that you're quite skilled. Come and work on my ship. If you follow me, I guarantee that you'll have a good life in the future.”
"I won't let him die."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to save my captain." One-eye said firmly. His eyes narrowed and he began to drink.
When Tang Ge saw this attitude, One-eyed was trying to break out of prison!
"Ding! You have triggered a rescue mission. The mission objective is to rescue the captain of the Purgatory Pirates. Upon success, you will receive 1500 points.”
He almost spat out the rum. This mission came too suddenly, but the reward points were less than destroying the Black Toad Pirate Team. It seemed that the difficulty of this mission was lower. He hesitated about whether he should get involved in the muddy water. After thinking for a moment, he quickly made a decision.
"Do you need manpower?"
"What do you mean?"
"I helped you break out of prison and save your captain.”
At first, One-eyed couldn't believe it and mumbled,""Are you kidding me?"
Tang Ge looked at him with disdain and said,"Can you joke about this? Come, tell me the details. I'll help you plan how to break out of prison. I have experience in this.”
