Chapter 517 The New King of Black Sails
Keith died.
Even though his father who was far away in the continent of Terra was a prestigious sixth-circle mage, this did not make Sarah hesitate in pulling the trigger.
Mage Luke had no time to feel sad for Case's death, and overwhelming fear filled his heart.
Because, he was horrified to find that at some point, in front of him, a burly man named Baozi, who did not look like a mage, quietly appeared!
It was deathly silent on the slaughterhouse, with only the sound of the sea breeze carrying ashes across the ground.
No one dared to take a breath, and at the same time they were trying to figure out where Gothe came from, so that Sarah could stand up for him like this.
They have lived in the City of Black Sails for so many years, and it is unheard of for Sarah to stand up for others.
Especially because Gothe looks so young, and his temperament is incompatible with their Black Sail City at first glance. He is obviously a foreigner.
However, today's horror has just begun.
A worker who was leaning on the slaughtering rack subconsciously turned his neck and shifted his gaze. He suddenly froze when his gaze inadvertently swept across the sea.
He discovered something, and subconsciously raised his fingers to point into the distance, trembling slightly.
Him The companion next to him noticed something unusual and looked in the direction of his finger. Then he sat on the wax on the spot with the same expression and posture.
His mouth was opened wide enough to fit a fist.
Because, a huge black wooden ship with a flaming sword painted on its side was slowly sailing into the Ice Anchor Slaughter Dock, preparing to dock.
The Ice Anchor Slaughterhouse Dock, including when it was still called the Xianganchor Dock, has always been just an extremely inconspicuous small dock in the City of Black Sails. When has such a huge ship ever visited?
This may be surprising, but it is not enough to make onlookers show such expressions.
What really shocked them was the body hanging on the top of the comb pole of this huge ship, which was tied with heavy iron chains and had its arms spread out in a cross shape.
The Fire Knife.
This is the pirate ship Sarah took off the head of the leader of the Fire Knife Pirates in exchange for a bounty, and then seized it from the Fire Knife Pirates. It is also the "mobile station" of the gold coin hunter group.
To make the gold coin hunter group go into such a big fight, the background of the person hanging on the comb pole in the form of a "hanging sky lantern" must not be simple.
As the ship approached, they could already clearly see the specific face of the corpse.
The iconic hooked nose and the old scar extending from the brow bone to the lower jaw.
It is exactly the same as the portrait of the pirate king they are familiar with, who has occupied the top spot on the bounty list for a hundred years and continues to set bounty records!
Is it Davy Jones? !
The Pirate King died at the hands of the legendary huntress? !
This idea spread quickly among the crowd.
This side, the center of the battlefield.
The security guard suddenly appeared, and as soon as he appeared, it was a spell that had been prepared.
There are no amazing magic effects, but there is a powerful burst of mana fluctuations on Baozai.
Subsequently, Master Luke seemed to be possessed, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was still in place.
Almost at the moment when he was "lost", a golden dragon-scale bullet hit him between the eyebrows with a swirling airflow.
The moment the bullet penetrated the stone skin, it made a dull cracking sound, and the defensive spell on Master Luke's body flashed away.
At this time, his dull eyes finally regained their clarity, and then became filled with fear and horror.
But it was too late, he was already helpless,
Amber crystal clusters spurted out from the wound and spread rapidly along his neck.
In less than two seconds, Kais’s chief guard mage followed in Kais’s footsteps and turned into a cluster of exploding dust fireworks.
At the right time, the huge hull of the Fire Knife slowly docked.
The anchor chain fell into the sea with a deafening sound.
The Crow Clan Secret Gang, as the leading force of today's Black Sail City gangs, is also based in the upper city of Black Sail City.
The entire station occupies a large area and is made of volcanic rocks transported from other affiliated islands and shipwreck planks.
The wall is covered with dark green seaweed and rusted iron anchor chains that can be preserved.
The roof is covered with scattered watchtowers, with lifelike crow statues standing on the top of each tower, and obsidian eyes flashing in the sunlight.
It is said that these statues are not only decorations, but also the core of the warning circle blessed by the rune master.
Above the station, there is a group of carrion crows all year round, which is also deliberately cultivated by the Crow Jar Secret Gang.
The overall architectural style looks like an ancient fortress rising from the sea, which is not only in line with the architectural characteristics of Black Sails City, but also consistent with their gang name.
The atmosphere inside the Crow Zun Secret Gang's headquarters today is unusually solemn and solemn.
In the meeting hall at the far end of the station, the room was full of people.
These people may have scars on their faces or tattoos on their bodies, and all of them exude a fierce aura that has been at the top for a long time.
They are all high-level leaders of various halls of the Crow Zun Secret Gang. The long oak table in front of them is scattered with sheepskin maps and information scrolls, but no one is turning over it. Only the sound of heavy breathing is intertwined in the air.
The person sitting at the top of the list is the leader of the Crow Zun Secret Gang, the Zun Master.
He wore a black robe decorated with crow feathers, and his face was covered with a bronze mask.
The mask was carved with complex crow patterns, which made the shadows in his eye sockets bottomless.
The bottle owner's voice came out through the bronze mask, with a hoarse feeling. He tapped his fingertips on the table: "They entered the port late yesterday night. They did not sound the return horn, and they did not hoist the blood sail flag, or even...
" br/>
"In other words, this time they went to the Ash Island of the Gold Coin Hunter Group and did not collect any trophies, nor did they even consume any ammunition."
"What's even weirder is that according to Crow's report, after the Iron Crown docked, Karen directly blocked the Blood Sail Pier and strictly prohibited others from approaching.
No reason was announced to the outside world. "
In the conference hall, there was a suppressed discussion.
With the powerful power and reputation of Davy Jones, the Bloodsail Pirates Group can be said to be at the top of the Black Sail City, and the Bloodsail Pier is the terminal with the largest throughput of merchant ships and hunting ships in the Black Sails City.
Blood Sail Pier is blocked. This is the first time in a century. The anomaly is self-evident.
The owner of the bottle waited for everyone to discuss for a while before gently raising his hand.
The discussion subsided instantly.
"First, the Iron Crown's expedition target this time is Ash Island, which was the place where the Black Wings fell and where the Gold Coin Hunter Group has been stationed for the past ten years.
The expedition to Ash Island is equivalent to Blood Sail's confrontation with the Gold Coin Hunter Group."
"Second, the Iron Crown was used for the expedition, and the target was still the gold coin hunter group. Such a large expedition must have been prompted by Davy Jones.
But now the Iron Crown returned in a hurry, and Karen behaved abnormally, blocking the dock." All the income from all the properties in the district was withdrawn. "
"According to the custom of the Bloodsail Pirates, the income is usually withdrawn every half month, and it is done by Davy Jones's cronies."
"David is most taboo about his subordinates tampering with his property. Karen has been with David for so many years and can still sit in the position of deputy leader. It is impossible that he does not know this."
"Our people are staring at the Bloodsail Pirates, and Karen keeps claiming that David is going to establish a new stronghold on Gray Island and ask him to come back to mobilize supplies, but he does not mobilize manpower. In addition, he uses force to suppress other mages who question." Doing things according to orders, but..." The Master of the Bottle glanced at everyone, his eyes under the bronze mask flashing, "It's more like running away!"
In terms of intelligence, as Case said, in the City of Black Sails, if the Crow Bottle secret gang is number one, no one dares to claim the second.
Karen's covert and quick movements were all mastered by the Crow Zun Secret Gang in less than half a day. One can only imagine how many spies they have in this city.
"Isn't it possible? How dare he? With Davy Jones's methods, anyone who dared to offend him would be brutally killed by him and made into a bone sculpture collection, let alone betray him." The fourth leader on the right side of the bottle owner said in disbelief.
"Indeed, Davy Jones' methods are terrifying, and the members of the Bloodsail Pirates are in awe of him, and they will never dare to betray him unless...:" The bottle owner nodded with great agreement, "Unless Karen knows, Davy Jones will never be able to liquidate him again!"
These words were like a thunder, making everyone present take a breath.
The meeting hall fell into a brief silence, with only the heavy breathing of everyone.
A moment later, the first leader on the right side of the Bottle Master, the mage with claw marks on his face, slowly said: "Master Bottle, you mean... Davy Jones is dead?"
Disbelief flashed in the eyes of everyone present.
It is really that Davy Jones' power in the City of Black Sails was too great. He was also the most dominant person in the City of Black Sails for so many years, and now he died so suddenly and without warning?
It’s a bit incredible no matter how you think about it.
At this time, another strong mage in the audience was already excited and said: "That guy also has today!"
“The Bloodsail Pirates are completely Davy Jones’ one-man gang. Once he dies, there will be no one in the Bloodsail Pirates who can convince the public. They will soon fall apart and there will be no trouble. So what are we waiting for?”
He stood up excitedly and said: "Immediately mobilize all the people and seize all the Blood Sail's treasure house, industry, and the dock they control!"
"Sit down!" There were claw marks on the face that had made the previous inference. The mage, Mori, who was in charge of the gang's finances, sternly shouted, "You brainless guy, you only know that Davy Jones is dead, and you don't even think about how he died!"
His words instantly awakened other people on the scene who had the same impulsive thoughts.
The owner of the bottle nodded in agreement, "These things happened after the Iron Crown went to Gray Island, so if Davy Jones really died, he would most likely have died in the gold coin hunter group and in the hands of Sarah."
"What does it mean that she can kill Davy Jones? It means that Sarah is already stronger than David."
Without David's blood sail, he is a paper tiger. Sarah will come sooner or later, so he is taking advantage of the power vacuum to take away everything he can before the gold coin hunters take action. "
"Even though Sarah is stronger than David, the price to kill David must be high. She may be repairing it now, so she didn't show up immediately, which gave Karen an opportunity."
The bottle owner’s inference was actually quite different from the facts.
"Then what should we do now?" someone asked.
"This is the reason why I called you here. Once Davy Jones dies, the structure of the City of Black Sails will inevitably change greatly. Where should we, the Crow Cask Secret Gang, go in this process?"
These words silenced the meeting room for an instant, and everyone was lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.
At this time, the second mage sitting on the left hand side of the Master of the Bottle suddenly spoke: "Master of the Bottle, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
The mage hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak. He looked around the crowd, with a hint of unnoticeable fear in his voice, "When Davy Jones was here, we cooperated with him, provided him with intelligence, and also received the support of Bloodsail, which made our Crowcoff Secret Gang's position in the gang more stable..."
"Now that Sarah can kill David, she must be more powerful. Strong, in my opinion, it is better to express our loyalty to Sarah as early as before, at least to maintain our current status."
"Fart!" Before the bottle owner could reply, another mage slammed the table and stood up, "What kind of cooperation is clearly to force us to surrender to him? We have tolerated David for almost a hundred years and finally waited until he died, why should we bow to a woman?"
"As we said before, we should seize the opportunity now. When we swallow up the Blood Sail industry, these will be the chips in our hands. No matter whether we fight against Sarah or cooperate with Sarah, we will have confidence in our hearts!" Both sides will lose, otherwise they will end up losing the chips and taking advantage of the gold coin hunting group. "
"In my opinion, it is better to keep an eye on Karen and sell her favors after the gold coin hunting group comes. Sarah is not as sinister and ruthless as David. Besides, she is a woman after all. Maybe there is a possibility of cooperation and coexistence, and she will not be as ambitious as Davy Jones."
"Naive, naive! In a place like Black Sail City, men and women are all the same, how can anyone be easy? Strength is the basis of everything. Isn't it a joke to pin the future of the gang on Sarah's character?!"
The meeting hall was immediately divided into two groups, those who supported the rise of the opportunity and those who advocated selling "cooperation" to Sarah, and the debate became louder and louder.
The bottle owner listened to everyone's discussion, his brows hidden under the bronze mask tightened.
In fact, he couldn't make up his mind, so he called everyone together to listen to everyone's opinions. As a result, the more he listened, the more confused he became.
And there is another very important point. After all, the death of Davy Jones is only a conjecture based on many clues.
Although I am very sure, it is difficult to say without seeing the body of Davy Jones.
If in fact Davy Jones is not dead, and he now takes action against Bloodsail's property, the liquidation that will follow afterwards will not be something that the Crow Cask Gang can bear.
Every piece of information in his hand pointed to the conclusion that David was dead, but the worry in his heart still lingered.
Thinking about this, the bottle owner became even more confused.
He knew very well that the next decision he made, if he was not careful, might cause the Crow Zun Secret Gang to fall into an abyss.
Just when the bottle owner was having a hard time making a choice, the crows outside the window suddenly flew away collectively, making chaotic cries.
Immediately afterwards there was a loud bang. The thick oak door of the conference hall was shattered by a golden bullet, and sawdust mixed with rust flew everywhere.
Everyone stood up in shock, only to see a fiery red figure striding in from the door, leaning against the doorless door frame.
The security guard behind her took a step forward and threw a bloody figure into the center of the meeting hall, hitting the long oak table with a "bang".
It's the bone spur that caused the nose and face to be swollen and the arm to be broken.
"The Crow's secret gang is so brave," Sarah looked around the audience with deep eyes, her voice was extremely cold, "You dare to touch my people?"
