"You're talking about the Mermaid Key?" Tangke's heart skipped a beat, his breathing stopped for a while, and he didn't even believe his ears. He always wanted to open the demon treasure chest, but the clue was broken after learning the Mermaid key, and now a new opportunity finally appeared.

Alyssa glanced at Tang Ke strangely, and there was clearly something in her eyes.

"Yes, it's the Mermaid Key. It's one of the most famous keys in the world. It can open any lock, but it turns into foam after one use. Do you have any locks that need to be opened? If so, then the Mermaid The key will definitely help you a lot."

Donk didn't want Alyssa to know that he needed the Mermaid Key, so he pretended to say lightly: "Yeah, I fell in love with a beautiful woman, and I want to use this key to open her heart, you say it will be Is it?"

"You, you're joking again." Alyssa blushed, she subconsciously felt that the beautiful woman that Donk was referring to was herself. A drop of sweat oozed from her forehead, her breathing began to become disordered, and her hands folded over her legs clutched at her skirt.

Tangke likes to see Alisha's flustered look, and further said: "What I said is true, but I don't know if that beautiful woman likes mummies?"

Alyssa glanced at Tangke's chest and found that it was full of bandages, but it really looked like a mummy. In normal times, she would be amused by such a strange appearance, but now she can't laugh at it.

"Let's get down to business. I wonder if this last treasure is what you want?"

"This treasure does have weight, but it's not enough to drive me to take risks and send you back. My head is already worth more than 10,000 gold coins, and the Dragon Tooth Kingdom also has festivals with me. If you quote the 'captive exchange' It will be much safer if you make a treaty, but will you agree?"

"Of course not." Alicia immediately vetoed. If she went back like that, the story of her being captured by the pirates would definitely be spread all over the sky.

"That's right." Tangke shrugged, "so I'll have to disguise myself and secretly send you back to Twin Harbor for a dangerous exchange with your earl's husband. There's a lot of risk involved, and it's a chore. Only With a small key, I will not agree."

"What do you want? I need an exact condition."

"Okay, I like your happy attitude. You are so happy as a woman, so I will be happy. I only mention three conditions, and I will never increase the price in the future, but you have no room for bargaining." Tangke held out three sticks. Finger, "First, I want the Mermaid Key, and second, I want the Gold Skeleton Coin."

Alyssa's face paled a bit. Both of these treasures were chosen for ransom, and it is estimated that Kerwin would be furious.

After saying the two conditions, Tangke stopped abruptly and looked at Alicia maliciously.

Alicia had an ominous premonition, and her throat moved a few times.

"What about the third condition?"

"I still want you."

...

The deck bell of the Sky is jingling, which is the sound that makes the pirates gather. On weekdays, the chiming of deck bells is also used to tell the time.

The Evil Dragon Pirates now have seven ships, and the two magic ships were not damaged and parked on the shore. The remaining five ordinary ships, more or less damaged, are now parked on the beach for repairs. After the bell rang, the pirates put down their work and hurried to the sky to wait for the order.

Tangke was standing on the port rail, his upper body was unclothed, revealing a bandage. On his right shoulder, there is a black dragon tattooed with ink, and the tattoo has a wide mouth, as if to choose someone to devour.

Under the sea breeze, a white bandage danced wildly.

After a while, Tangke's feet were already full of people, people were talking in twos and threes, no one knew what the regiment commander was going to do.

"Listen to all the members of the Evil Dragon Pirates. I announce that I will set sail immediately and rush to the small pirate city of Tujia Port." Tangke waved his palm forward, pointing straight to the north.

The pirates fell silent. The order was somewhat abrupt. In the morning, the regimental commander clearly said that he would stay for two more days, but he changed his mind in the afternoon.

"Why are there no screams? Are you still my little pirate?" Tangke frowned and looked at the crowd under his feet dissatisfied.

The pirates looked at each other, and then they reacted, and a tsunami-like scream erupted.

“Great we are going to the next port”

"Long Live the Port Woman"

"Let's go to the little pirate city"

The sound wave was higher than wave after wave, and it spread all the way to the cabin, making it a little noisy. Sebastian, who was reading in the room, frowned slightly, tapped the table with his pointed fingers, and said dissatisfiedly, "These guys are really helpless."

Seeing the energetic look of the pirates, Tangke raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's right."

"Sir, the ship hasn't been fully repaired yet. The distance from here to the small pirate city is not too short. Maybe it will be missed in the middle."

"We can repair the ship while walking, as long as we stick to the small pirate city, there is a very large-scale dock, which is more suitable for repairing the ship." Tangke said.

"What about the wounded?" asked another pirate with a bandaged head.

"We can walk while recuperating, just like me." Tangke said lightly, as if he wasn't injured at all, and he tucked the stray bandage back, "In short, you can do anything while walking. ."

One-eyed also looked up at Tangke from below. Because he had something to say, he took a step forward, held the shoulders of the person in front of him, leaped into the air with his strength, and climbed onto the guardrail of the Cangtian with one hand.

Tangke looked at the one-eyed beside him and waved with a smile.

"Why do you want to leave in such a hurry? Is it because of the Naga murlocs?" One-eyed asked again and again.

Tangke nodded and said, "The naga fish do give me a headache, but the emergency voyage is not because of them, but another reason. I want to hurry to the little pirate city, and then order a brand new one there. The Black Pearl."

He wanted the Mermaid Key so much that he got the Heart of the Demon Ship in the Demon Treasure Chest. Although the information obtained is insufficient, the heart of the magic ship must be related to the ship, and it is likely to be a treasure that turns an ordinary ship into a magic ship. But it is too wasteful to upgrade an ordinary ordinary ship to a magic ship, so he wants to build a qualified ordinary ship.

As for sending Alyssa home, the talk has collapsed. Because the Tangk lion opened his mouth and the conditions were too harsh, Alicia did not agree at all. Tangke didn't force it either. Alisha was already fat in his mouth. He could chew it slowly or devour it.

He was determined to win the Mermaid Key, and made a plan accordingly. He plans to first go to the Little Pirate City to order a boat, then go to Twin Harbor to get the Mermaid Key, and finally return to the Little Pirate City, use the Mermaid Key to open the demon treasure chest, and use the Magic Ship Heart to turn the new sailboat into a demon Move the boat.

"You can go directly to buy a new sailboat. Why do you have to order it? If it is ordered, it will be quite time-consuming."

"Because the sailboat I want must be the strongest ordinary sailboat on the sea. No matter its performance, it must be on the same level as the empire's battleships, or even better than the battleships. The ships that can be bought directly will not meet my requirements. Request." Tangke said with bright eyes, he already had a prototype of a new ship in his mind, and only such a ship could be worthy of the name Black Pearl.

Seeing Tang Ke's ambitious and rewarding appearance with one eye, he had some guesses, and he asked, "You must have some plan for ordering this ship, right?"

Tangke walked to One Eye mysteriously, lowered his voice and said, "Yes, the demon treasure chest is about to open, and we are about to have the third demon ship."

...

Under the urging of Tangke, the voyage began, and the pirates on the island were called back. When they heard the news that the dragon pirate group had set sail, the bomb-spitting frogs on the island were relieved, and they were eager for Tangke to leave immediately. Because of the contract, Cross Scar brought more than 300 bomb-spitting frogs onto the boat. If they were evenly divided, each boat could be equipped with 50.

The spit frogs are a group of flexible artillery turrets. With their help, the long-range strike strength of the Evil Dragon Pirates will be greatly enhanced.

The fleet raised its sails, as usual, with the sky as the flagship, and the purgatory at the rear, the seven ships left the shore one after another, and headed towards the sea. In the sky, two seagulls fluttered their wings. They both had white bodies, but the tips of their wings were black. Two seagulls danced gracefully against the blue sky and white clouds, as if they were sending off the pirates.

Tonk stood on the bridge, with the muscular Cliff beside him. At present, Cliff is at the helm, and Tangke just couldn't stand it and stood on the side, looking at the seagulls flying in the sky.

Not far from the bridge, there are surveyors and sailors testing the speed, which is a must-do for every day sailing.

"Throw" the surveyor gave an order, and he stared at the pocket watch in his hand.

After the sailor heard the sound, he immediately threw the buoy in his hand into the sea, and the buoy quickly went away under the rapid advance of the sailboat.

"Okay, hold on tight, don't let go," the surveyor urged. The sailor held the sheave tightly. Under the pull of the buoy, the rope became longer and longer. There was a knot on the rope at intervals, which could It is specially used to calculate the speed, and the so-called "knot" also comes from this.

"I'm guessing it's ten knots. Today's sea breeze is quite caring." Don Juan estimated towards the buoy at the stern.

"The regimental commander said it was ten quarters." Cliff flattered.

The surveyor stopped, and the sailor hurriedly grabbed the rope and pulled the distant buoy back, counting how many knots there were. The surveyor calculated the exact speed based on the number of knots.

"The speed is calculated, it is indeed ten knots," the surveyor shouted excitedly, "It's amazing, Commander, how did you figure it out visually?"

"It's very simple, it's just based on experience." Tangke smiled and tapped his head a few times with his fingers, implying that all kinds of skills were installed here.

Every time Tangke relies on the system to upgrade, what he gets is the experience that others can accumulate for a few years.
