Chapter 148 - 148. The War Drum Is About to Beat

   The ship under your feet was custom-made by a musician, and it took several years for the entire ship to be completed.

  At this time, she was very beautiful.

  Her whole body was made of gold with some other colors, like an elegant musical instrument, and she looked extremely elegant and gorgeous. The white sails were not stained with any color.

  Alka clearly saw the name of the ship on the hull.

  "Musician".

  Then it was a voyage that lasted for more than ten years. Even countless grand concerts were held on this ship, and the ship gradually became famous.

  Until it was occupied by a pirate.

  The pirate repainted the "Musician" and hung a black sail.

  Fortunately, this pirate and the pirate group seemed to be very interested in music.

  It's just that the elegant music in the past has become a rough sea singing.

  It was renamed "Song of the Deep Sea".

  I don't know how long it took, the pirate was arrested and killed, and the ship once again fell into the hands of a navy of a certain force.

  And sold it to an exploration group. In addition to changing the sails, the ship was given a new name [Dream Chaser].

  No other changes were made.

  This ship accompanied the exploration group step by step. As it grew stronger, they also engraved spells on the ship to make it more powerful.

  It gave the ship a strong physique.

  At this time, the leader of the exploration group was holding something like a harmonica.

  That is, the magic item that Alka used to summon this ship.

  At this time, the leader of the exploration group got a treasure related to music at the end.

  This treasure is so consistent with the experience of this ship that the leader of the exploration group also felt that the ship gave him luck.

  This spell ship was also rendered by the treasure, and it 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.

  At this time, it seemed to be a very hazy environment, and nothing could be seen. It could only be seen that something attacked the exploration group.

  The entire group was completely destroyed, and the harmonica that summoned the ship did not know where it had gone.

  The ghost ship, which had just been enlightened but had not yet fully acquired self-awareness, began to drift alone on the sea.

  Until it encountered the invasion of dark waves, the ship had already suffered a lot of damage and suffered even greater damage.

  Relying on instinct, the ship docked in a safe cave until Alka played the harmonica.

  He did not have much self-awareness. He

  just responded to the call of the harmonica by instinct.

  Then the bubbles dimmed and disappeared.

  The ship's self-awareness was too weak, and the dream lasted only a short while, allowing her to tell Alka about her life.

  Alka was once again wrapped in rainbow-colored mist.

  From the changes in the environment just now, Alka could tell that the exploration team was destroyed at least 400 years ago, when there was no war.

  Because at that time, the surroundings were not pitch black.

  Until later, the ship sailed alone, and the specific sailing time was unknown.

  Until the dark outbreak hit it, the ship was about to be damaged and could not hold on, she found a safe place to stop.

  At that time, I blew the boat to test it, and then I woke it up again.

  After understanding the context of the matter, Alka came back to reality.

  Once again, I saw this tattered and almost completely destroyed boat.

  I had a new and different feeling.

  In the dream, I quickly witnessed her life, from birth to growth to strength, and now on the verge of death.

  I gently patted the mast.

  "After so much, you still survived strongly. It's really difficult for you."

  "If you are willing, follow me to sail later. I will find a way to restore you to your original state and make you better. How about it?"

  When Alka's voice fell, a beeping sound came from the boat, weaving into a moving music.

  After witnessing the performance of the ship in the later period, Alka could understand what she meant.

  "It seems that 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 with re-enlightening it by yourself, it will save a lot of time.

  This is already very good.

  "So is this really a ghost ship?"

  Sofia and his men gathered around, staring at Alka with wide eyes and asked.

  This is a legendary ship, and they learned about it from Lucilia.

  Before this, they didn't know that there was such a ship with autonomous consciousness.

  Alka nodded, shook his head and said, "Yes, but not completely. Her previous owner was a person with a treasure, who enlightened the ship, but when it was about to be successfully enlightened to become a ghost ship, her owner died, so it became like this now."

  Hearing this, everyone nodded.

  "Then he is now..." Jason asked.

  Hearing Jason's words, Alka patted the main mast, smiled and said to Jason, "You have to call her, she is a girl, be careful that she will whip you with a rope again."

  "Okay, okay, she."

  After all, men are the ones 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 has wisdom, it naturally becomes a she.

  "She is willing to follow me now, but we have to fix her up after we get out. She can't be as shabby as she is now."

  "But we are going to..." Sofia reminded him.

  "Oh, right."

  Alka was so happy that he forgot about it and patted his forehead.

  Said to the air on the ship.

  "We are going to do something very dangerous now. You find a place to hide. We will call you again after half a month. How about you come to us then?"

  A moving tone came from the ship, but you can hear the unhappy voice in the tone.

  She seemed reluctant.

  "Don't worry, it will only take half a month."

  Then she said with emphasis: "I promise."

  The tone of the music was a little low, but it finally came up again.

  "Then let's put it this way."

  After saying that, several people jumped off the ship and returned to the deck of their own ship.

  The music gradually sounded, with a hint of sadness.

  Several people on the ship waved their hands.

  Watching this music ship disappear into the night.

  "It's amazing that there is a ship with autonomous consciousness." Jason couldn't help saying.

  Lucilia was on Sofia's shoulder, and her voice was excited: "In other words, we will have a ghost ship in the future? A real ghost ship! Haha, great!"

  "The premise is that we can survive this time."

  Julia stood by and said lightly as she watched the ship sailing into the darkness.

  Everyone was silent for a moment.

  ...

  Time flew by.

  Alka emerged from the dream world again.

  He had just followed the connection and flew to the two overlapping bubbles, secretly watching the situation inside.

  He saw his father inside still repeating the act of beating Jack until the bubble burst.

  And his father's bubble had indeed stayed in the dream space, and rarely broke. When

  his father's bubble broke, it should be to snatch control of the body, and it would succeed from time to time.

  But the bubble broke rarely and very briefly.

  Basically, it would be kicked back after a short time, and the bubble in the dream would reappear.

  As for whether the snatch was successful, we only need to look at his father's performance after the bubble reappeared.

  Cursing loudly means the snatch failed, and cursing with gloating means the snatch was successful.

  It also made Alka sure that there was nothing wrong with all this.

  He still didn't trust his father very much, and it was not until now that he confirmed it after observing for a long time.

  After all, all his emotions for him came from memories, and he had no personal feelings.

  The body sitting in the room opened his eyes.

  Alka straightened his clothes, opened the door and entered the captain's room.

  After thinking for a while, he took out two stacks of cards from his ring and

  walked out of the captain's room.     At this time, everyone on the deck was communicating with each other and making final preparations.

  They were already heading for Elcot Island, and there was not much distance left, at most one day.

  The day of meeting was just around the corner.

  It had been confirmed from the intelligence of the church.

  All the remaining ships and crew members of the Pray for the Dead Pirates gathered around Elcot Island.

  The church was also ready to cooperate with them at any time.

  It was necessary to annihilate this pirate group and teach them 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 attention to Alka exceeded everyone's imagination.

  But only Alka knew why.

  Alka came out and handed the two stacks of cards in his hand to Sofia and Jason.

  "You can use it, right? I'll give it to you."

  Hearing Alka's words, the two took the stack of cards in their hands.

  There are all kinds of functional cards plus three-color cards, which will definitely be of great help in battle.

  Especially for Jason, who only has one spiral strength.

  After thinking for a while, Alka said, "Jason, when the battle starts, you must follow the church."

  Jason nodded silently when he heard this.

  Because Alka and his team were going to go inside to face the leader of the Praying Dead Pirates, it would be too dangerous for him to follow in with one spiral.

  It would be safer and more reasonable to follow the church and kill pirates on the periphery.

  He did not refuse, because that was the strength.

  The gap was too big.

  As for the two stacks of cards, they must have been taken out by Alka.

  At this time, there was no treasure in Alka's ring. He took it all out and threw it into the cabin.

  There were all items in it for fighting or that could help in fighting.

  The most were naturally various cards. After more than a month of preparation, he might not be able to finish throwing the cards from the beginning to the end.

  These materials were also purchased from the church.

  Everyone was quietly communicating on the deck, waiting for the ship to arrive at Alcot Island.

  ...

  Alcot Island.

  The temporary station of the Prayer for the Dead Pirates.

  A flagship and three large sailing ships are parked around, and there are also many pirate speedboats.

  Thousands of pirates gathered on these ships.

  In addition to them, there are several pirate ships on the periphery, but from the flags, it can be seen that they do not seem to belong to the same team.

  This place has become a pirate's lair.

  All the ordinary pirates are reveling in alcohol, waving bottles and scimitars in their hands, singing and dancing in the dark.

  It seems that they want to dispel the darkness.

  There is no seriousness of the battle about to begin.

  Some pirates suddenly fell to the ground in such a situation, trembling all over.

  Other pirates would only laugh when they saw him, throw him off the ship, and sink to the bottom of the sea.

  Only those who are the touchers in the Prayer for the Dead Pirates have ugly faces and are silent.

  Two touchers of the Prayer for the Dead Pirates stood at the bow of a pirate ship.

  Silent, not knowing what they are waiting for, looking at the darkness ahead.

  "A slave who has 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 slave without power."

  "That's right, Virgin Mary bless you."

  "Bless you, Virgin Mary will beat you."

  However, his companion next to him ignored him and continued to pray with his hands crossed.

  He shook his head helplessly and suddenly asked: "Then do you regret it? Regret coming here to become such a pirate."

  The pirate who put his hands down shook his head instead.

  "No regrets, at least I have power, right? Although I am like a slave, what's the difference outside. It

  's just that the way of being a slave is different."

  "It's 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."

  "Okay, I hope I have the opportunity to throw you into the sea."

  "I also hope I have the opportunity to carve an epitaph for you."

  The two people's communication 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 on the way."

  Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, Captain, I'm ready. I will definitely buy you enough time."

  "That's good. Only by laying enough bait can you catch the fish you want.

  When I think that the pirate group I have carefully managed for so many years will be destroyed here, I can't help but laugh out loud."

  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 gained something more precious, so it is worth it to lay more bait for the target you caught."

  "But... won't the other you rob your body?" The old man reminded him carefully. If

  the body is robbed at this critical moment, won't everything before be in vain?

  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 again."

  Sivers, in the dream, quietly watched Jack's performance outside.

  "I really hope you can still laugh in a while."

  At this time, he was no longer as angry as usual, but calm.

  ...

  Time passed bit by bit.

  Jack, standing on the bow, felt that the source of his blood was getting closer and closer, and the smile on his face became more and more unstoppable.

  Until at the end of his vision, he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

  Alka is here.

  As soon as the light appeared, Jack's face changed immediately.

  Although his face was still the same, his temperament had changed drastically.

  It made people feel like he had changed into a different person.

  Sivers took over this body temporarily.

  "You let me out on purpose, you are such a bastard."

  He said to himself, and then looked at the old man next to him: "Let that big-headed shark, I mean the hammerhead shark man, go and greet him! Remember, let him go alone."

  Although the old man knew that the captain was no longer in control of the body, he still nodded and gave the order.

  The hammerhead shark man who received the order had a dead look on his face. Isn't this just asking himself to die?

  He didn't expect that it would be his turn to be unlucky.

  The other pirates around who heard the order all looked at him with pity.

  Although he knew he was facing death, he still jumped into the sea. He

  swam quickly towards the approaching ship.

  If he didn't go, he would die, but if he went, he might survive.

  He knew very well how to choose him.

  Then Sivers shouted to the pirates behind him: "Where is Andre? The leader of the treasure hunting team who was captured, come up to me."

  "Yes!"

  The pirates behind him acted quickly, and Andre, who was tied up by chains, was pressed up by several toucher pirates.

  At this time, Andre's right arm was completely broken, and his body and cheeks were covered with scars, but these wounds had already healed.

  Looking at his current appearance, at least he is not in danger of death.

  When Andre was pressed in front of Sivers, Andre looked at him quietly: "Are you going to kill me?"

  Sivers ignored him, and continued to say to the pirates behind him: "Gather your boats together, face the enemy from the side, and then put away your guns."

  "Huh?"

  "Huh what? Do as I say if you want to live."

  "Yes, yes." The pirate quickly passed on Sivers' order.

  But his mind was already confused. If they gathered together and put away their guns, wouldn't that mean they would be beaten?
