Chapter 208 6 You Secretly Have Another Great Mentor Behind My Back? Happy New Year's Eve [1315]

Chapter 208 6. Do you have another great mentor secretly behind my back? -Happy New Year's Eve【1315】

"Shua"

One day and one night later, the Black Pearl had already seen the outline of the continent under the gloomy sky in the distance.

The kite man flew low in the sea breeze at dawn. The small and reliable falcon backpack behind him retracted its mechanical flying wings in a chic gesture, allowing him to land accurately next to Mason who was in a good mood.

"Boss, Barbossa and several pirate kings are waiting for your return at the port."

Charles reported to Mason with great joy:

"The pomp they created was quite grand. They all wore gold and silver like fancy-dressed chiefs, but there was a woman among them who was very strange.

Barbossa said it was his 'royal' witch, but I suspect that might be the person we're looking for.

The human form of the sea goddess Colypso. "

"Um."

Mason nodded, squinted his eyes and looked at the pier where the outline of the city could be seen in front of him. He thought for a while, turned his head and whispered to the kite man:

"You go back to Gotham, Charles, and take my letter to Selina and Lady Elizabeth. I need them to go to Osborne Tower to do something for me.

You don't have to come over here to stay with Poison Ivy in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

If things go wrong

I mean, if the world of Hogwarts is affected by the impact, then bring her and the resources we harvested there back to Gotham.

This is very important. I must have someone I trust to do it, someone who understands. "

"Okay, boss, I will definitely do it!"

The kite man patted his chest hard, but then asked softly:

"Can it be okay if you just stay here? Without my help."

"What will happen if you stay as a scout?"

Mason looked at Charles with strange eyes and said:

"What? Are you going to switch careers and charge into battle with Ergong? Seriously, if you really plan to show your bravery in front of a god and a group of cleansers, then I don't mind giving you a chance."

"hehe"

Kite Man laughed awkwardly.

Although he has experienced many battles, he knows that his combat effectiveness is completely at the bottom of Team K.

Especially after Barbara Gordon, a hacker girl, joined the team and took over the responsibility of drones and fire suppression, Charles felt increasingly marginalized.

It's somewhat sad, but lack of ability is always a big problem that cannot be solved.

Although he himself does not hate this kind of safe life that is gradually transferred to the logistics, he still needs to show his presence in front of the boss occasionally. After all, he is the number one loser under Mason Cooper.

After driving away the Kite Man, Mason returned to the cabin, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to continue practicing his beloved alchemy. He had been feeling like he was about to "break through" recently, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

"Jack, remember what I told you last night. On behalf of Team K, go talk to Barbossa and the others."

Mason took out Hufflepuff's golden cup and put it in front of him. While adding ingredients into it, he said to Captain Jack who was leaning at the door and drinking a big drink:

"I now appoint you as my plenipotentiary representative. No matter what they ask for, I will agree to them. Try to get a feel for the situation as much as possible. Also, I want to see the Poseidon Trident up close.

See if you can help me arrange it. "

"OK."

Jack drank the wine bottle in his hand in one gulp, wiped his mouth again, and said:

"I suspect that Colypso might be trying to win me over. You see, an undead like my father has noticed that something is wrong. She, a true sea god, must have foreseen the danger.

Maybe she will strike first.

Mason, we have to be careful. "

"Careful? Why?"

Mason glanced at the hourglass placed on the table. There was not much gravel left on it. After the voyage was completed, there were less than three days left before the impact.

He shook his head and said:

"Don't worry too much, Jack, if she is really as wise as the sea, she should know that her trouble is someone else.

We might even be her collaborators. "

"Are you kidding me?"

Jack was stunned for a moment and asked:

"We are here to kill her!"

"No, our mission is to ensure that her divinity does not fall into the hands of the Liquidators, Jack. Killing her is only a means to complete the mission, not the only one."

Mason stopped cutting the herbs in his hand, raised his head and explained to Captain Jack seriously:

"Remember those years when Colypso was sealed as the Swamp Witch? Even without her divinity, she could still live as a mortal.

But if she falls into the hands of the liquidators.

Although I don't know what those mad dogs will do to her, I can be sure that compared to their methods, we people are as gentle as virgins who have never seen a woman.

So, be bold and don’t be afraid.

We have all decided to save your world, and we are almost ready to save one more god from suffering. Therefore, the initiative has always been in our hands. "

"Well, I understand when you say that."

The big pirate nodded thoughtfully.

Ten minutes later, the Black Pearl slowly entered the port. Captain Jack and his very "fashionable" crew members were chatting with the old friends who greeted them on the dock.

Not seeing any members of Team K made Barbossa a little disappointed and a little happy at the same time.

Especially now that the deal for the magic medicine has been completed, and before the next delivery of the magic medicine, to be honest, he doesn't want to have too much interaction with these mysterious guys.

But Mason and others did not show up, which disappointed the black-haired witch in the crowd.

Captain Jack was observing her. Although she had changed the appearance of a girl with white skin and red hair, her eyes were definitely those of Colypso, who had had some "intersections" with Jack back then.

As unfathomable as the sea, as cold and endless as the storm, as unpredictable as the tide.

"Yo."

At the subsequent banquet to welcome the guests, Captain Jack and his "old buddies" drank a round of wine and took time to approach the witch and whispered:

"My captain is a very suspicious guy. Maybe you should have a word with me before meeting him, ma'am."

"No need, Jack."

The witch said without interest:

"The rat who escaped from this world before danger must be a little self-aware. I only talk to people who can really make trouble. You are now a loser instead of a captain, and the steering wheel is not in your hands.

If you dare to talk nonsense, expect to be whipped like those sailors who stick their butts out to wipe the deck. "

"Hufufu, what a good temper."

Captain Jack sneered.

He lowered his head and held a silk card cigarette in his mouth and said:

"I hope you can be so tough when those crazy dogs from outside come to your door, Colipso, you don't know what you will face, but I know, I have seen it with my own eyes.

I personally experienced another apocalypse, and fought my way back to my hometown from hell.

So, now do we want to talk about it? "

Facing Jack's invitation, the witch hesitated and raised her head to glance at the dark night sky without starlight and moonlight. There was fear in her eyes that she could barely conceal.

As the pirate captain waited and watched, the incarnation of the sea god who had caused waves to bury countless fleets and travelers finally nodded.

She said softly:

"Then let's talk, before those 'mad dogs' you call us arrive."

——

The Black Pearl is still parked at the dock, and the ship has been blocked. Several black heavily armed drones are flying back and forth around the ship to prevent anyone from getting close.

This once legendary battleship has become the place where K team stays. The first mate, Mr. Gibbs, personally carries two modified and strengthened AK47s on his patrol to prevent unsightly guys from disturbing the captain's manufacturing business. .

"Done!"

In the cabin, Mason finished outlining the last line of golden inscriptions, then dropped the Midas Rod and took a few steps back to admire the second set of Isu Vanguard Armor he had just made.

The black armor gleamed in the dim land, and the pale halo on its arms, chest and leg armor and boots shone, looking extremely cool.

"Very sexy."

Zha Kang next to him gave an accurate evaluation.

He is now wearing the magic floating cloak that was barely sewn together. A bright red cloak covers his figure, making him look very Gandalf-like.

He curled his lips and said to Mason:

"I don't want this thing. It's too shiny and doesn't fit in with my low-key and luxurious life style. Don't do it to me."

"You really thought you wanted it."

Mason snorted and said:

"I made this for myself. Didn't you see the data interface reserved on the armor to link to the power armor? But since you don't need it, you can handle your equipment yourself later, John."

"No!"

Zha Kang immediately jumped up and begged with a playful smile:

"How can I, a poor third-rate spellcaster, find anything powerful? I'm expecting you to become a master craftsman and help me repair the Elder Wand.

Those gravity rings and earrings you made are also good. Hurry up and practice hard. I will depend on you as a craftsman in this life. Huh?

Someone is coming! "

Before he finished his flattering words, he immediately turned to look at the end of the cabin. Controlled by the enhanced magic power, he clearly felt the disturbance of time and space. He was about to cast a spell to seal it, but was held down by Mason with his hand.

The young man said:

"It's okay, it's a friend here. You should get out of the way first. No matter who it is, I think it's best for you to participate in the following conversation. This is for you. Go find a few people on the shore to try the medicine."

Mason handed several bottles of blood-colored liquid to Zha Kang and warned:

"These are the 'animal transformation' drugs I concocted last night using Isu biotechnology. They are samples of Minotaur Minotaur and Snake Man. You must not drink them randomly. The effect is not stable yet."

"Who would drink something of such unknown origin? Do you really think I am you? Like you, you dare to throw anything into your own veins."

Zha Kang curled his lips and rolled his eyes. He held a cigarette in his mouth and waved his cloak coquettishly. The magic floating cloak, which still had ugly stitching marks, dragged him from where he was, and swayed to the cabin. outside.

This thoughtful guy didn't forget to close the hatch.

And just a few seconds after he left, the undisturbed space-time disturbance quickly turned into a silver stream of light, and then the hunter walked out of it.

"Hello, Mr. Hunter."

Mason stopped pretending and stood up to welcome him in an exaggerated manner:

"Welcome to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Nilfgaard, the 'Lion Cub' of Cintra, Jivielle of Kaer Morhen, the White Wolf's Daughter, and Her Royal Highness Siliya Fiona Ellen Lianlen. Black Pearl.

Your arrival has made this broken ship shine. "

Just as Mr. Hunter was about to speak, he was stopped by this long list of exaggerated titles that made Dragon Mother even call him an expert. Then she stamped her feet in frustration and helplessness.

Finished.

Identity leaked.

"How did you know my true identity?"

She didn't waste any time, stretched out her hand to hold the sword and felt cold, and asked directly:

"Who told you? Is it Old K?"

"Actually, Sir Geralt gave it to me in a dream, on the night I entered the Star Castle."

Mason, who cleaned the gold cup again and prepared for the next round of making, kept talking nonsense without raising his head:

"The old demon hunter who won the Lake Lady's Holy Sword with the Five Virtues also specifically told me that if his daughter turns into that disgusting bastard hound, let me scold you for him.

It would be best if I could scold you to wake you up.

Look, so many disasters are happening before our eyes.

We must intervene if we can. If we sit back and do nothing, so much blood buried under the apocalypse will stain our hearts. "

"Don't be stupid, Mason."

Ciri didn't pay attention to Mason's nonsense. What he said about dreaming was simply nonsense. She saw with her own eyes the scene where her adoptive parents were exiled to the Broken World and died together with the World Core. In that situation, it was completely inappropriate. There could be anything left.

But she wasn't here to argue with Mason about that.

she says:

"Member No. 7 of the Quint Society, Norman Osborne, who just joined, reported to the top management that you sent someone to Osborne Tower to contact him and ask him to prepare to accept about one million refugees.

This thing comes full circle and comes back to me, and they asked me to come and see what the hell you're doing.

If you don't have a transfer door, it's impossible to send everyone here before the impact. Either you are pretending, or you have received unknown help.

From what I know about you, the latter is more likely. "

She stared at Mason and said very unhappy:

"Someone is helping you secretly? And it's not one of our people. You called the Justice League?"

"you guess."

Mason grinned mysteriously, and Ciri was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword and kill the guy who almost made her angry when they played charades with her yesterday, but in the end she suppressed her anger.

explain:

"My application was approved this time. They temporarily approved your action. I brought the components of the transfer gate."

"No need."

Mason waved his hand and said:

"Take it back to someone who needs it more. I've already done it here. I can do it myself without the help of the Quint Society, so they should never try to control me like they control you."

"boom"

A magic bag was smashed on the table, and Ciri took off her mask to reveal a head of silver hair. She stared at Mason fiercely and gritted her teeth and said:

"Don't go too far, Mason! Don't keep saying that I'm like a puppet on a string. What you're saying now deserves a beating, you know?

Especially after I helped you. "

"I apologize, my boss, please don't get angry. I was just joking."

Mason stood up immediately, brought a chair with a smile and asked Mr. Hunter to sit down, and offered her a cup of hot tea, but Ciri looked at this thing suspiciously.

Since she was knocked unconscious by Mason with a sleeping needle last time, she is now wary of anything Mason sends her.

Who knows what this crazy young man will do?

This guy is more courageous than the legendary whale shark.

Mason saw that Shili was not wasting even if he didn't drink. He held the tea cup and leaned aside to help his boss analyze:

"This transfer gate is not used by them to help me, Ciri. When they received Norman's report, they realized that I no longer need them, but they need the Isu blueprints in my mind, so send you quickly. Send me the transfer door to try to save it.

Please wake up, Ciri.

Is this possible because you begged them twice? This is because we still have value and they cannot give up on me at the risk of alienation.

The fact that you can bring the transfer door so easily shows that they are fully capable of doing this.

But they don't want to do it at all.

They don't care at all what you and I think, and you thought you were important to them before. Listen to my advice, my boss, if you really want to avenge your adoptive parents and your own world, and if you really want to bring down the Stars Society, you have to talk to me. Let’s do it together!

We have to rely on ourselves.

I can't believe those bastards with ulterior motives.

Now it's time for you to go. The sudden arrival of a great mentor will attract a lot of attention. I only realized last night that someone is monitoring Team K. "

Mason picked up the magic bag on the table, put it into Shirley's hand, and said to her:

"Don't think about it too much. You are still a trustworthy friend and good superior of Team K. This matter will not affect our everlasting friendship, but please discuss with me before they ask you to do anything in the future.

You're in need of an 'external brain', and I'd be happy to volunteer. "

Hunter Ciri lowered his head and put on his mask. Although Mason's words were brief, they were spoken from the bottom of his heart, and some of the details he pointed out really made Ciri feel a little creepy.

It's not that she wasn't aware of these details, she just hadn't thought about it before.

So she hesitated and whispered:

"They decided to promote you to B-class personnel. I only thought it was because you brought back the golden apple reward."

"They are trying to bribe me, or warn me, this restless little guy."

Mason blinked and said:

"If I remember correctly, it takes a very difficult task to be promoted to Class B. It is impossible for me to pass it safely with my current ability, right?

Don't make a fuss, pretend that you know nothing, and continue to play your role as a puppet.

I will take care of these troublesome things.

But after this is over, we need to talk."

Mason said to Ciri:

"You and me, just the two of us! You have to tell me everything you know, only in this way can I have a panoramic view of the overall situation. Of course, you can also report me.

The choice is yours.

They just want to use you but I am different, my dear boss, just like the big bad guys in Gotham City who know who to ask for help when they are in trouble.

You see, I am unwilling to give up even such a broken world, which fully proves my strong character.

Therefore, when you need it most, I will do my best to help you just like helping the world, so why not think about it when you go back to take a bath.

Who is your friend and who is your enemy. "

Watching the silent hunter Ciri disappear in the cabin, Mason turned his head and saw that the second pot of medicine in the golden cup was boiling. He walked to the window of the cabin and looked at the brightly lit pirate city in front of him, and uttered two proud nasal sounds.

He said:

"If you can all survive, remember to thank Mr. Mason for his kindness, idiots. "
