Chapter 425: Clue

　　 The night is heavy.
　　 The dark clouds and the misty drizzle under the low pressure in the sky perfectly conceal the subtle movement from the sea.
　　 A three-masted pirate ship with a much lower deck than normal ships, and two long, narrow-hull two-masted privateers, quietly approached the shore of a large island under the drizzle.
　　 Not far from the shore, is a small town full of Hilius style. Their purpose is self-evident.
　　 "Captain, we will reach Holguin Island soon.
　　 However, the rain today is really weird. Although it is indeed conducive to our covert sneak attack, the storm bottle clearly shows that there is no rain at night. "
　　 On the "Wrestler" with a black dragon-head banner, the middle-aged navigator in a leather raincoat found Captain Alec and informed him of the current location of the pirate ship.
　　锵
　　 In the captain's room, the old pirate Alec, whose mental state has been refreshed compared to the past, puts the excellent scimitar that has just been maintained with animal fat into a sheath and fastens it to his waist.
　　 "Okay, I see. After all, imitations are not real ocean treasures, and it is possible to have some omissions. Is the signal sent by our sentinel?"
　　 He doesn't particularly care about the weather, as long as it doesn't have much impact on tonight's actions.
　　"Captain, the last contact before nightfall was completely okay. They have determined the most valuable goals in the town.
　　 Don't worry, they are all carefully selected elites and will not let us miss any gold coins! "
　　 This is a collective action that assembled three pirate ships in the pirate group at one time. The most important thing is that the goal is attractive enough. While the captain was refreshed, of course he was cautious enough.
"That's good!"
　　 A few minutes later, the three warships docked smoothly.
　　The pirates of the Marine Corps have completed the assembly, each of which was given a glass of rum, and pour it down.
　　Alek stood on the bow and waved his hand:
　　 "Okay, let's go after drinking!"
"Roar!"
　　Alcoholism is certainly not good, but a moderate amount of alcohol can stimulate the morale and courage of the soldiers, and it has become a must-have item before the pirates plunder.
　　 It is said that this tradition originated from the army of various countries in the era of queuing to shoot.
　　 then.
　　 Wow...
　　 In addition to the necessary left-behind personnel on the three ships, a large group of pirates with a total of more than two hundred people came to the shore carrying the muskets that had been equipped with a rain cover in advance.
　　 However, this pirate team is obviously different from other pirate peers. Under the constraints of a group of pirate cadres, they lined up to complete the assault formation before pounced towards the small town with faint lights.
　　 There is no doubt that this is the habit brought from the army by the former naval soldiers as the backbone, and they have been inherited and carried forward here.
　　 Holguin Island, also located in the northern part of the Golden Sea, belongs to the occupied area of ​​the Kingdom of Sirius. It is very rich because of its rich cane sugar and tobacco.
　　Because of being lonely overseas, the difficulty of looting is much less than that of the towns inside the four major vice kings.
　　 Since the leader of the White Knights has delegated power, the pirate cadres have given full play to their subjective initiative and acted independently.
　　 This is the action location chosen by the captain of the pirate ship "The Wrestler", Alek, who led his direct subordinates to choose from thousands of choices.
　　 As the strength of the pirate group continues to grow, internal competition is of course becoming more intense.
　　 Everyone wants to be valued by the captain, the legendary pirate White Knight, even if they don’t know that their captain has been promoted to the third rank.
　　 During this period of time, privateing activities led by the Anti-Hilius Alliance at sea have intensified.
　　 This sea is too vast, and the colony of Hilius is too rich.
　　 Even though countless aspiring young people have devoted themselves to this carnival of hunting the Hilius, they did not feel that Hilius’ merchant ships had decreased.
　　 Because the sea route of this era is the golden river flowing with gold, no ship owner is willing to give up.
　　 Even if the sea route increases due to piracy, the risk is higher than before.
　　 But taking the slave trade with 600% profit as an example, plus the cost of ship personnel, etc., as long as one of the three ships can reach the destination safely, it is a big profit for them.
　　 Even if there is a small loss, they don't care too much.
　　 Of course, the increase in defense forces and the expansion of the fleet are obvious.
　　 Although he is still not an opponent of the Dragoon Pirate Group, after several successful raids, the ambitious pirate captains are no longer satisfied with this.
　　 Today, Alek and his men chose to ransack this wealthy town, they are preparing to fight for the top spot among pirate cadres in the "Drakon Pirates" in World War I!
　　 "Send a signal and let the sentry come out to respond."
　　 step on.. step on.. step on..
　　 Under the infinite attraction of wealth, the excited pirates rushed into the small town with only low walls with unstoppable momentum like a torrent.
　　 "Haha, give me all the treasures!"
　　 "Uha! Come out and receive..."
　　 "Huh? What about people?"
　　 seemed to be flashed suddenly, and the pirates who rushed into the town screamed, preparing to fight a battle with the militia guarding the town.
　　 but found that the entrance of the town was empty, and there was not even a guard in charge of guards. Looking around, the entire main road in the middle of the town is empty.
　　 And after the signal was released, the own sentry that should have come out to respond also completely disappeared.
　　 "Something's wrong!"
　　 Alek, who has been a pirate for half his life, not only did not have the excitement of a mouse entering the rice tank, but because of this unusual scene, he instantly raised his heart.
　　Look at this town again.
　　 In the cold drizzle, the gas lamp hung at the door cast a dim yellow light. The moss covering the corners is like weird mildew spots, which will swallow this small town bit by bit.
　　 The small town is dark, and only a few buildings are lit with subtle lights. It flashed through the rain curtain, like the mocking eyes of some monster.
　　 listened attentively, except for the sound of rain, it seemed that the whole town had been empty.
　　 But.
　　 It is impossible for a pirate to give up the wealth he is about to acquire, and a little abnormality can not scare him.
　　 Besides, even if Alek wanted to retreat, those subordinates with red eyes could not agree.
　　 If this group of guys knew how to restrain their desires from the beginning, how could they choose the business of pirates?
　　 "Sparro, do you think there is a problem?"
　　Of course, you have to ask professionals about such weird things. Alek spread his left hand and asked about the parasite that slowly opened his eyes.
　　 "Well, in my perception, the people in the town are still there, but they all seem to be asleep."
　　 Sparrow, who is parasitic in Alek’s left hand, does not have an independent body, but with his existing power, he can be used as a half-formal wizard.
　　 The credibility of his words is still there, and Alek has also dropped a little vigilance from this.
　　 "Go! Search from house to house. There is no bank here. They may have buried gold coins in the yard. Don't forget to find them out."
　　 "Hahaha, don't worry, Captain!"
　　 "We have experience!"
　　 Hearing the instructions, it was like a hungry wolf smelling blood. The pirates rushed into the town in a team of three.
　　 Under the personal leadership of Alek, a team of dozens of well-armed elites went straight to the most gorgeous house in the center of the town, which obviously belonged to the mayor’s home.
　　嘭
　　 kicked the courtyard door open, and a group of uninvited guests like wolves and tigers swarmed in.
　　Some people went straight to the master bedroom of the house, and experienced robbers knew that there was the most likely place to hide the owner’s property. Some people went straight to the garden, looking for gold coins that might be buried in earthen jars.
　　 But.
　　 What makes Alek even more strange is that even though his party made such a big disturbance, the people in the house still did not wake up.
　　 I feel a little uneasy.
　　 personally pushed open the door of the bedroom on the second floor, and saw the slightly bloated hostess lying on the bed. It was obvious that the mayor’s food was good.
　　 However, the mayor is not here.
　　咚咚咚...
　　 knocked the door, but the opponent still did not move.
　　 then went forward to check and found that the other party seemed to be caught by nightmare, even if she opened her eyelids, there was no sign of waking up.
　　Weird things happen from time to time in the land of the New World, and this small town apparently encountered some abnormal events before they arrived, and now it has completely lost the ability to resist.
　　 also happened to be cheaper for them.
　　 The other pirates in the town have obviously discovered this too. No one can stop them. Many people have already begun violent demolition.
　　Alek can't control that much anymore, and his opponents waved:
　　 "Do it!"
　　 In the room, he immediately kicked and smashed the cabinets.
　　 rush rush...
　　 Then a bag of gold coins was searched out.
　　 Alek did not do it himself, but while reminding Sparrow to pay attention to the surrounding movement, he drew the scimitar, cautiously guarding against possible accidents.
　　 Because of the root cause of this anomaly in the small town, it is still unknown whether he has left.
　　 Suddenly, in the rainy night.
　　 "Wow..."
　　 "Quack..."
　　 "huhuhu..."
　　 The sound of the barking of dogs, crows, or the roar of the storm in the sky suddenly entered the ears of everyone in the room.
　　嘭
　　 Alek, who had always been vigilant, immediately pushed the window to look outside, with a faint aura flashing in his eyes.
　　 Sparrow gave him a unique vision, allowing Alec to easily see the scene outside the town through the dark night.
　　 In the sugar cane forest outside the town, it seems that a cloud of condensed dark clouds descends, and it seems to be a dark condensed substance.
　　 On the edge of the town, a group of seven or eight guys with different costumes are walking towards the sugar cane grove outside the town.
　　There are well-dressed upper class people in the town, guards in militia uniforms, and...the dragoon sentry that disappeared before.
　　 However, their bodies are slightly bulged compared to normal people.
　　 Especially around the neck, there are three or five head-sized folds full of swelling, and the body exudes a nauseating black and green aura.
　　 "Hi! This is..."
　　 Alek’s eyes widened instantly.
　　......
　　 Royal Colony East Lents, Port Raleigh.
　　 Aiwen sits in a cozy cafe built of spruce, holding a fragrant coffee in one hand and playing with a gold talisman inlaid with turquoise in the other.
　　 This is his trade income with Rudolph, the golden sea pirate king, the "Dead Bones" through the middleman "White Knight".
　　The price is the corpse of the Tier 3 totem warrior and...the sea treasure "ghost cloak".
However, in Aiwen’s view, this transaction is still a big profit~EbookFREE.me~ It is said that some time ago in the Cordillera Mountains, a sea hunter discovered a sun Inti worshipped by the Gashna Empire. The complete temple contains countless treasures left over from the Gashna Empire.
　　 And "Dead Bones" Rudolf was also one of the participants in that incident.
　　 Although the focus is mainly on the golden crown of the Emperor Gashna.
　　 But in fact, this thing is actually the most precious. The surface is a gold talisman with a vertical eye inlaid with turquoise.
　　 It is said that the descendants of the sun have the ability to be reborn in the fire, and the ability of this amulet is similar.
　　 Effect: No matter what kind of damage the body receives, it will be restored in the golden flames released by the talisman. And the soul is not the domain of Inti, so it will be invalid.
　　 A marine secret treasure plus the corpse of a Tier 3 powerhouse, for an extra life, of course it is worthwhile for Aiwen.
　　 If these two things were not too attractive to Rudolph the "dead bone", he would not be able to trade this kind of treasure.
　　 put it away after playing for a while, he didn't forget the business today.
at this time.
　　 Outside the cafe, Milan, who is handsome and suave in aristocratic casual clothes, is walking over with an indigenous girl wearing short leather armor and exposing large wheat-colored delicate skin.
　　 People with clear eyes can tell that their relationship is unusual at a glance, and at least in terms of appearance, they are very good.
　　 Aiwen couldn't help taking a sip of the coffee in his hand, and glanced at Warrant Officer Roddy who was sitting next to him as a temporary attendant, comforting himself with Ah Q's spirit:
　　’The world is full of the sour smell of love, only our body exudes the fragrance of single dogs. ’
