Chapter 515 "Heroes Save Beauty"
Ice Anchor Slaughter Dock.
Gothe was leaning on a stone pillar embedded with a bronze anchor chain, watching with interest the skilled workers on the dock decomposing the body of a newly hunted sea beast, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the [Doom] on his waist.
After communicating with Lan Wen, Gothe had no intention of leaving the City of Black Sails and returning to the Fire Knife.
Because when he left the Fire Knife, Sarah had already woken up from her deep sleep.
She slept for a full nine hours.
The effect of [Comfortable Sleep+] is much better than expected.
After nine hours of deep sleep, with the blessing of spell effects and her own expertise, although the damage at the soul level was still far from being fully recovered, the stinging pain in her soul that was like a tarsal maggot was almost gone.
At this level, Sarah is still unable to cast spells stably, but it does not affect her normal activities and daily communication.
This means that as long as there is no fierce battle, no one can see that she is actually a "vase" who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
It is not realistic to wait until the injury recovers before dealing with matters in Black Sails City, and Sarah is not a conservative person.
The first thing she did after waking up was to summon the core members of the gold coin hunter group to discuss the next action plan.
The backbone of the bounty hunter group who followed her were basically people who had a blood feud with Davy Jones.
But this does not mean that after the great revenge is avenged, they will have no desires and desires and remain detached.
On the contrary, before revenge, they may only have one obsession with revenge, and do not value worldly desires.
After the death of the enemy, he finally had the intention to pursue these powers and powers.
And now is the best opportunity.
These hunters who have followed Sarah for many years are now working hard to make the gold coin hunter group become the new overlord of the Black Sail City through the momentum of Sarah killing David.
Basically everyone is very positive and eager to try.
If Sarah is not interested in this or hesitates a little bit, maybe there will be a Blue Flame Islands version of "Yellow Robe Plus Body".
Although Sarah kindly invited him to participate in the meeting, Gothe declined.
As an outsider, he did not know much about the organizational structure and member expertise of the Gold Coin Hunter Group, and he only had a superficial understanding of the distribution of forces in Black Sails City.
Hurry participation in a meeting will only result in an outsider giving advice to an expert. Not only will it fail to provide effective suggestions, but it may interfere with decision-making.
The entire Fire Knife was either in "meetings" or making pre-war preparations, but he, the "non-staff member", was the only one with nothing to do, and it seemed out of place to stay on the ship.
Gothe thought that staying around would be boring, so he simply left the Fire Knife and returned to the City of Black Sails to take a breather with Lan Wen.
Otherwise, once the situation becomes tense, there may not be time to explain the situation to Lan Wen, and it would be bad if some misunderstanding or conflict occurs.
Gothe calculated the time correctly, and the Fire Knife should have set off from Ember Island at this moment and was on its way to the City of Black Sails.
He only needs to wait in the City of Black Sails, there is no need to rush back to join them.
Just when Gothe was lost in thought, he seemed to notice something unusual, and his body leaning against the stone pillar instantly stood upright.
The originally relaxed shoulders were slightly tense, his brows were furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his gaze was like a hawk directed towards the entrance to the lower city at the other end of the slaughter area.
In his sight, a group of figures appeared, walking towards the slaughter dock.
Gaode's eyes swept across the group of uninvited guests, and finally settled on the young man in the middle.
From the appearance, he seems to be only twenty-three years old. Although his complexion is a little dark, his appearance is considered handsome, with a high nose bridge and thin lips. The undisguised arrogance between his eyebrows is like a sharp thorn.
Beside him, there was an old mage with white hair and beard following him.
Gothe opened the Mandora Magic Eye for observation, and performed [calculation] based on the magic wave energy that occasionally seeped out of the old man's body, and quickly calculated a data about the level of the mage:
[The probability of a three-ring mage is 0.56%, the probability of a fourth-ring mage is 35.79%, and the probability of a five-ring mage is 63.65%].
This is the result of the mage level judgment given by [Insight and Calculation].
Limited by Gaode's own limited knowledge of fourth-ring mages and even fifth-ring mages, this judgment result cannot guarantee accuracy and is for reference only.
Furthermore, this was all thanks to him not long ago observing the life-and-death battle between Sarah and Davy Jones, and loading and updating the relevant data of the fifth-ring mage in his "local database".
Otherwise, this judgment result will not only be a matter of unguaranteed accuracy, but may even not be given at all due to "insufficient conditions".
However, as long as Gaode's contact with mid-to-high-level mages increases in the future and the "local database" is continuously improved, this mage level judgment will become more and more accurate.
"Five-ring mage?" Gao De slightly narrowed his eyes.
He didn't know this group of people, but they did not hide their bad intentions. The possible presence of a fifth-ring mage also made him very afraid.
Here, Gothe was still standing still. As the nominal owner of the Ice Anchor Pier, Apache had already appeared and hurriedly greeted him.
Apache seemed to know the other party, bowed slightly, and asked cautiously and slightly flatteringly: "Master Case, you have so many people coming to our Ice Anchor Wharf. Is there anything important?"
Keith's footsteps After a pause, he didn't even look at Apache. He looked directly across the crowd, and fixed his gaze coldly and arrogantly on Gothe, who was observing him in the distance. He smiled coldly: "I'm here to find him."
The flattering smile on Apache's face froze instantly.
Although he is a native, he is also a man of spirit, and he can already see that Keith and his group are murderous.
Now that I understand who the other party’s target is, my heart suddenly sinks.
He didn't know how Gothe offended Case, but it was obvious that there was a conflict between the two.
Apache's eyes were filled with horror and confusion, and he turned to Gothe, who was still standing in the slaughtering area.
One is a person he cannot afford to offend, and the other is his current supporter, which makes him feel anxious.
Here, Case was too lazy to pay attention to Apache who was standing there, and led the people straight towards Gothe.
Apache could only quickly follow up, his brain running rapidly, thinking about how to resolve this crisis.
Gothe still stood there without moving, but his eyes became sharper, and he watched Case walking towards him in silence.
Lan Wen was already standing behind Gaode without saying a word, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"Mage Gothe, this is Keith, the second son of the leader of the Leiden Mercenary Group! The leader of the Leiden Mercenary Group is a six-ring mage."
As a group of people approached, Gothe suddenly heard the message sent by Apache using the [Messaging Technique], with a slight tremor in his voice.
"With this identity, Keyes is very successful in the City of Black Sail. He even has friends with the top local gang, the Crow's Secret Gang. You see, most of the people behind him are mages from the Crow's Secret Gang."
Mercenary Group. Gothe narrowed his eyes slightly after receiving Apache's reminder, and his heart moved.
There are very few mercenary groups in Nolan Continent.
This thing is a characteristic of the Terra continent. The mercenary culture there is extremely developed. It is no exaggeration to say that some powerful mercenary groups are as powerful as a country.
In this way, this Kes is a person from the continent of Terra.
The Blue Flame Islands is a mixed place, where mages and businessmen from all over the world gather. It is not surprising to meet mages from the Terra Continent here.
The problem is, I have never left the Norland continent, so how can I provoke people on the Terra continent?
This made Gao De have some doubts in his heart.
At this moment, everyone on the dock had stopped what they were doing and stared at this scene. Many people even started whispering, preparing to watch a good show.
Although Case is not from the City of Black Sails, he is quite famous in the City of Black Sails.
Ignoring the whispers of passers-by on the pier, Case had already walked to Gothe and stopped.
He looked at Gaode up and down, as if he were looking at a commodity, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth never disappeared.
Gaode was startled for a moment, and then he understood something.
Is he the owner of box number six?
In the slightly solidified atmosphere, his eyes slowly swept across Case's face, and then passed over the dozens of mages behind him who either had scimitars on their waists or holstered guns.
He suddenly smiled and said to Case in a calm and polite tone: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
Keith looked at the smiling Gothe coldly, like looking at an ant who didn't know whether to live or die.
He knew very well that Gaode would not give in so easily.
Hence, he waved his hand impatiently, and behind him, a mage with a gangster air and a crow-shaped copper whistle hanging on his waist stepped forward.
"He is Bone Spur, a small leader of the Crow Zun Secret Gang." At the right time, Gothe received another message from Apache.
There was unconcealable anxiety in Master Abaddon's eyes, cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, and his hands were nervously twisted together behind his back. He was much more nervous than Gothe, who was the person involved.
Spur stood in front of Gothe carelessly, spittle spitting out as he spoke, but his voice was deliberately lowered.
“Boy, don’t pretend to be confused like Master Case. Some of the registrars, guides and even appraisers of the All Souls’ Day Auction are from our Crow Zun Secret Gang.”
You may think that you are well disguised and no one will recognize you if you wear a hood and a robe, but in the eyes of our Crow Zun Secret Gang, it is nothing." At this moment, Gothe's face slowly darkened.
The other party did not disclose the method of seeing through his disguise, nor did he pursue it to the end.
In the world of mages, all kinds of spells, expertise, and extraordinary items emerge in endlessly. There are naturally many ways to see through a person's disguise.
What really chilled him was the behavior of the other party:
The Crow Zun Secret Gang, as one of the forces behind the All Souls' Day Auction, actually committed theft and revealed the customer's information to the unscrupulous people afterwards.
Even took the initiative to send out help and bring unscrupulous people to the door.
This is something that violates the "business bottom line". If it were placed in other places, once this kind of thing is spread, the reputation will be completely ruined.
But in a disorderly place like the City of Black Sail, the little leader from the Crow Zun Secret Gang in front of him lowered his voice, but in fact he was not afraid of the matter being exposed at all, and even acted with natural arrogance.
Because here, this kind of thing is normal and is the default unspoken rule. Who among the people who come here to participate in the Easter Auction does not understand this?
But aren’t the tickets still sold out every year?
This is their unscrupulous confidence.
Just like the people who traveled to Myanmar in previous lives, didn’t they know the risks there but still went there?
After the little leader of the Crow Cask Secret Gang finished speaking, Keith sneered lightly and continued: "In a place like the City of Black Sails, what I want must be in my hands."
Gothe heard this and fell into silence.
This silence lasted for a long time.
Finally, when Case was getting impatient, Gothe raised his head and glanced at the mage who was already ready to move. Finally, he fell on Master Luke who had remained calm and silent from beginning to end. He frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I still don't quite understand what you are talking about?"
The intimidating power of the Fifth Ring Mage is still there. No matter how calm Gaode is, he still has to be full of fear.
"Don't understand?" A smile appeared on Keith's face, and he said sternly: "Then I will let you understand."
"Mage Luke!" He waved his palm and shouted coldly, signaling for Master Luke to take action.
The old man's eyelids moved slightly.
At this time, Lan Wen, who was behind Gothe, had already taken a step forward, exuding powerful mana fluctuations. "Everyone, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"My king, the situation is not right. The old mage opposite is not simple. I may not be an opponent and cannot stop him." While standing up, Lan Wen immediately used [Communication Technique] to remind Gothe. He had obviously felt the strength of Master Luke.
Keith looked at the mana fluctuations surging in Lan Wen's body, and raised his eyebrows slightly
He could sense that Lan Wen's mage level was not low, and Gothe could have such an attendant mage, perhaps as Master Luke said, he had a certain background.
Thinking like this, the caution born of the unknown finally emerged in his heart. Case actually suppressed the violence in his heart, paused his palms, and did not insist on letting Master Luke take action. Instead, he spoke again:
"To tell you the truth, this bottle of Siren Salt Marsh Spiritual Liquid is of great use to me, but I am not completely unreasonable."
"I can take a step back, 20,000 gorse coins, which was the starting price at that time."
"You hand over the Kraken Salt Marsh Spiritual Liquid, and I will give you 20,000 gorse coins, as if I bought it from you, and then the matter ends here."
Gothe's eyes flickered slightly.
The opponent is in a strong position. If there is really no other way, it will be a bit frustrating, but handing over the Kraken Salt Marsh Spiritual Liquid is the best way at the moment.
It is just a loss of property, not completely unacceptable.
Ten years are not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He now has the number one backer in the City of Black Sails. If he gives in now, he might turn around and find his place again!
With this thought, Gao De was about to speak, but as if he had discovered something, a smile appeared on his face again.
It’s not in vain that I’ve worked so hard and nonsense for so long
“Haha, as one of the organizers of the All Souls’ Day Auction, the Crow’s Secret Gang should give me an explanation for acting like this?”
Faced with Case’s gaze and suggestion, Gothe turned a deaf ear and suddenly turned to look at Bone Spur and asked.
"Give you an explanation?" Bone Spur didn't even react for a while. He opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. Then he burst into a harsh laugh: "Who are you, dare to ask us, the Crow Zun Secret Gang, to give you an explanation?"
"Don't be stubborn," Case's face turned completely gloomy, and a violence gradually emerged in his eyes, "I'll give you a chance!"
"Indeed," Gothe nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "In this case, I will give you a chance. Now give me 20,000 gorse coins, apologize to me, and then leave. This matter is over."
These words were like thunder exploding in the crowd, and everyone watching showed expressions of disbelief.
They were all stunned, thinking that they could not imagine that the plot would develop like this.
Gothe actually said this in the face of Case’s threat?
Not to mention others, even Lan Wen, who was one of his own, was stunned for a moment.
"Interesting, interesting." Seeing Gothe's performance, Case's little patience and caution finally ran out.
"Kill him." He stopped talking nonsense and just waved his palm downwards.
Mage Luke was also surprised by Gothe's arrogance. At Keith's signal, he paused for a moment before reacting.
After regaining consciousness, his turbid eyes suddenly lit up with blue light, directly activating a five-ring spell model in the spell sea, preparing to crush Gothe and Lan Wen with force.
At this critical moment, a dazzling golden afterimage rushed out from behind Gothe like a meteor.
The golden afterimage was enveloped in a powerful aura of destruction, and the air was sucked out wherever it passed, heading straight towards Master Luke.
"Haha." Appeared together with the golden afterimage, a woman's cold snort:
"Have you asked me my opinion about moving him in the City of Black Sails?"
