Chapter 10 The Key to the Mission

The only two remaining warships are not big, and even this slightly larger one is just a medium-sized sailing ship. In front of eternity, a wooden warship of this size really cannot pose much of a hindrance, so my ship-cutting knife It was very easy to cut the entire battleship in two. Because there was no watertight compartment, the sailboat bubbled and sank quickly after being cut open, leaving only a few struggling crew members on the sea.

After killing this ship, I only have one target left. However, the ship is very fast and has already run a long way. However, no matter how fast the ship is, it is impossible to compare with flying units like ours, so it quickly I chased him and cut off all the masts and the upper bridge with a single slash. The top of the entire ship became a flat surface, and the upper parts were blown away.

Just as I guessed before, this ship does seem to have extra power equipment. Even if all the masts are cut off, it still has no intention of stopping, and its speed has actually increased a little. .

Looking at the warship that was still running, I flew directly over it to the direction of the bow. Then I dragged the ever-changing ship-cutting knife to my side with one hand, then turned around to face the bow of the ship and flew towards it. . The other party also saw what I was doing, so they guessed my intentions, but even if they knew what I was going to do, they absolutely couldn't avoid it at this time. How is it possible for a ship to turn in the water compared to a flying unit like me? Even a single-person speedboat cannot turn faster than a seabird, right?

There is no suspense. Although the opponent tried to evade, my ship-cutting knife cut through the ship from the left position of the bow before the ship could really turn. Then it penetrated the entire battleship like a hot knife cutting through butter, and easily escaped from the stern, while the battleship slowly split into two pieces behind me. Half of them fell directly to the outside, and the other half slid down against the inside. Finally, the entire ship gradually began to sink in the rolling water.

Just in case, I took a few laps on the sea, and after killing all the survivors who emerged at the end, I turned around and returned to the location of the Dreamer, which was the key to the tenth mission.

Although I didn't waste much time here, when I came back I found that the magic pets were much more efficient than me. Because I was actually the last one to come back.

The Dreamer was shelled multiple times during this naval battle, but only one shell actually grazed the side of the ship. And because it was just a scratch, there was no breakdown, but a piece of decorative panel flew away. For such a victory, it is said to be a complete victory, but the strange thing is that after we waited for a long time, we were still floating on the sea.

"What's going on?" I asked, looking at the captain in surprise.

Compared to my reaction, the crew members on the ship were actually more surprised. They were done with the robbery, but after I helped them successfully complete the robbery, they still couldn't get rid of this cycle. Then based on my analysis. I thought that this matter was probably related to this fleet, so this annihilation battle was launched. But now, the naval battle has been over for a long time. Not to mention the ship, even the surviving sailors have died. However, we are still in this time segment. The cycle has not ended, which means that the last wish has not been fulfilled.

Hear my question. The captain over there was also full of questions, and everyone on the ship was scratching their heads and wondering what was wrong, but even so, we still found nothing.

"Damn it. What did you all wish for before?" I thought the mission would be easy, but now I started to feel a little worried. No wonder Wikipedia and the others said this was a cheating mission. Even though I cracked it violently and annihilated all the enemies, I still couldn't complete the task. This mission is indeed a cheating task, and it's not just any ordinary cheating task.

In desperation, we had to gather everyone on the ship together to discuss a solution. As a result, despite everyone's busy discussions, we still couldn't determine what their last wishes were.

"If that's the case, I suggest we just do it again?" I said suddenly. "Perhaps we didn't kill all the enemies in the previous battles. Let's do a thorough job this time to see if it's because we didn't kill all the enemies."

After hearing what I said, the captain had no choice but to temporarily agree to this plan. After all, we couldn't find any other reason except this.

After the helpless self-sinking, the cycle started again. The robbery process was beyond standard. After all, these guys had robbed the ship countless times, and they cooperated extremely well, so the process was completed smoothly. Then the Imperial fleet on the opposite side appeared, followed by siege and battle. This time I made sure there were no survivors, so I was cruel. When the opponent gets close, Hei Yan takes action and circles all the opponent's battleships. Then the large demon pets swarm up and sink all the battleships. Finally, all the demon pets that can enter the water go into the water and stare at any personnel who are not dead. We all went up to make up for it. As for the people holding on to the water, they were massacred by the demon pets who could not dive. Finally, when the battle was over, we were finally sure that there were no survivors. However, it seems that the cycle is still not over.

Looking at the frustrated crew members, I could only encourage them: "Don't be discouraged. At least we have proven that killing all the enemies is not your last wish."

"But we still don't know how to get out!" A pirate sighed.

"Everyone concentrates and thinks back to what you were thinking at the beginning, and you can always find the problem. You have also seen that my strength is completely beyond your imagination, and I can satisfy any of your wishes, so now we It’s not that I can’t complete the task, it’s that I can’t find what you want. As long as you can tell me what you were thinking at that time, I will have a way to get you out.”

The pirates finally calmed down a little after hearing my words. After all, my words did make sense. Compared to before, with me here, their possibility of escaping has at least improved a lot. After all, I can even destroy the entire enemy fleet, and they don't think there is anything I can't do. , what is lacking now is that there is no goal.

After calming down a bit. The pirates' brains finally started to work. Soon someone came up with a possibility. "Do you think our last wish would be to sink the merchant ship we robbed?"

"Have you never sunk it before?" I asked in surprise.

The pirate captain nodded and said: "Except for the first few times, the other party became very cooperative later on. We only killed some of the people on the ship at first, and we didn't even think about sinking them. You know. We are pirates. They also have their own rules. We will not sink any ship that does not resist, and as long as the other party stops fighting at any time, we will not kill them all. This will be helpful for our future robberies. Except for that ship After limited resistance at the beginning, they became more and more cooperative. Of course we followed the rules and didn't touch them."

"So it might be useful to sink that shopping mall, right?"

The captain thought for a while and said: "Maybe." Obviously he was not sure. But I am very excited.

"It doesn't matter if it's true, you can loop infinitely anyway. At worst, it's just a wrong test. Is there anything else you can lose?"

"Yes, it can be interchanged infinitely anyway. At worst, I'll sink myself again."

With the pirates shouting, we immediately sank ourselves and started the next cycle. When the scene was reset again, the pirates immediately retreated to the ship. Then began to fire on the merchant ships. At such a close distance, the defenseless merchant ship quickly turned into a pile of debris, but as a result, we still have not escaped from this time segment.

"It seems useless!" The pirates said in disappointment as they looked at the merchant ship that had turned into a pile of driftwood.

I thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is a condition that we need to sink and escape or sink the enemy's fleet."

"Then try again."

Because of my presence, the pirates can now safely test any of their ideas, so the enthusiasm is still quite high, so we scuttled several times in a short period of time. The results proved that it was useless to sink the merchant ship and then escape successfully, to sink the merchant ship and then sink the fleet, or to sink the fleet and then come back to rob. As for leaving the sight of the fleet and then coming back to rob, we failed to test this method successfully, because during the experiment we suddenly and inexplicably started to reset.

"Hell, I've tried so many methods. None of them are correct!" After the initial excitement period, the pirates obviously lost their patience. Because several consecutive tests all failed, they had another problem. A tendency to fall into despair.

In fact, not only the pirates, but also me started to worry. It seems that this task is really not as simple as imagined, and the cheating task really deserves its reputation.

We were at a deadlock again. After being quiet for more than an hour, I suddenly stood up and said to all the pirates: "Listen to me, everyone. The current situation is like this. You seem to have completely forgotten what your last wish was. And because I haven’t experienced what happened back then, I can’t help you think about it, and it’s obviously not the way for us to try blindly like this, so I thought how about we recreate the original scene?”

"What does it mean to recreate the original scene?" asked a pirate.

I replied seriously: "Even if I don't help you, don't change your tactics. Just simulate the original situation again exactly as you did when you were still alive. Let me see the whole process. I understand things right now." Only through this can we hope to help you fulfill your last wish."

Because of my previous performance, I received a lot of image points, so now the pirates have a high degree of support for my words. Now that I said so, they did it.

After sinking again, the scene was reset, and then I flew directly up, relying on the illusion of Amynis to make myself invisible and flying in the sky, and then carefully observed the whole process. The pirates began to rob as usual, but the crew did not resist, and then the robbery was completed. However, the strange thing was that the two ships did not separate after the robbery was completed. Instead, they continued to dock together for a while before the pirates suddenly broke away from the merchant ship. Start running away.

At this time, the imperial fleet was very close. The pirates immediately began to flee after completing the turn. The fleet threatened and fired, but failed. Then several fast battleships from the fleet surrounded the pirates' ship on both sides. An artillery battle broke out between the fast battleship and the Dreamer. Because fast battleships were small in size and had few artillery, two of them were sunk. However, the Dreamer only had one gun destroyed and passed through the blockade safely, only because of the previous artillery battle. The speed of the ship dropped somewhat, and as a result, it was gradually caught up by the following fleets. Finally, the warships on both sides began to bombard each other from a very long distance. The Dreamer was the first to hit one of the opponent's warships. The damage was minor, and the Dreamer was subsequently bombarded. The sail was hit and torn, causing the ship to lose speed. The imperial fleets that were catching up one after another fired a round of bombardment at the Dreamer, and then the Dreamer sank helplessly in unwillingness.

The whole process seemed normal. To confirm that nothing was missed, I asked the pirates to do it again three times, and each time I observed the situation from different positions. The last time I chose to stay on the merchant ship to see the situation, and the whole process seemed to be the same. The only difference was that a hooded person on the merchant ship kept looking at me secretly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Although the crew member was strange, I wasn't affected in any way. After observing the entire battle situation, I feel that the situation is similar. It seems that I have fallen into a dead end and can't think of the problem at all.

Just when I was racking my brain and thinking about what was wrong, the scene entered the shipwreck stage again. I was pulled into the bottom of the sea and went to the deep sea with the pirates. Then the ship became tattered, and the crew They also turned into images of the undead.

"President Ziri, do you want to watch it again?" The pirates have repeated this cycle countless times. I don’t care how many more times it takes, so I’m not impatient at all.

I shook my head and said: "It seems that the situation is similar. I always feel like I have caught something, but I just can't remember it."

As soon as they heard that I seemed to have caught something, the pirates immediately became excited. Because my performance after entering here has fully proved that I not only surpass them in combat effectiveness, but also in terms of thinking ability, so they all think that if I find something, it must be something for use.

The eager pirates heard that I had discovered something and hurried over to ask: "What happened? Do we need to engage in hand-to-hand combat with that fleet? Isn't it possible to sink the ship?"

Before I could answer, the pirate captain pulled the anxious guy away and taught him a lesson: "Don't disturb President Ziri's thinking, just leave him alone."

"Wait a minute." I stopped the captain's movements, and then said as if talking in my sleep: "I seem to have some inspiration. Hand-to-hand combat...could it be said that the problem is not the ship, but the people? But after you sink the ship, don't the people also Are you dead? No, no, there must be something wrong somewhere. By the way, you have repeated reincarnations so many times, have you noticed any strange phenomena?"

"Strange phenomenon?" The captain asked doubtfully: "The strangest thing seems to be that when you asked us to do an experiment before, first bypassing the fleet and then coming back to rob, reincarnation suddenly started inexplicably. Other than that, nothing happened. A strange phenomenon. Oh, and by the way, the crew members on those merchant ships are becoming more and more cooperative with our robbery operations, which should be considered one of them."

"More and more cooperative with you?" I suddenly realized something. "You mean, they remember every reincarnation like you do?"

I didn't pay attention before, but the captain also reacted after hearing what I said. "Yes! If they are becoming more and more cooperative with us, it can only mean that they remember each reincarnation, so they know that this is a cycle and resistance is meaningless, so they are so cooperative. Otherwise, they should be like that fleet, every time It’s all the same pattern, and as long as we don’t change our tactics, they will even hit the exact same location for each shelling.”

After getting this trick, I immediately frowned and said: "If you are the publisher of the last wish, then it is understandable that you remember all these things, but if even the other party's crew members remember this, this is not normal. Could it be that …”

"It's not us but the crew members on the merchant ships who have unfulfilled wishes, right?" The pirate captain was obviously not an idiot, and he immediately thought of this possibility.

"If nothing else, this may be the problem."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

The only advantage of an infinite loop is that we can safely and boldly test any possibility, because apart from wasting time, we have no loss at all.

After the scene was reset, we appeared next to the merchant ship again, but this time the pirates did not rob, but gathered all the crew on the ship on the deck. The pirate captain and I stood on the command building of the merchant ship and looked at the merchant ship crew below. Then I asked aloud: "Can you remember every cycle here like us?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the people below were obviously stunned for a moment. I could tell from their behavior that these people didn't actually remember the time loop, otherwise they wouldn't be so stunned. Because their appearance clearly showed that they did not know about this matter.

But while this is true for most of the crew, there are a few different reactions here. Right in the middle of the crew. There are three people who behave obviously differently from the crew around them. The three people were two young people and an old man.

The old man looked very old, but he did not feel weak at all. On the contrary, he looked energetic and seemed to be very strong. However, although his spirit and energy are very good, the figure of the opponent does not look like a warrior, but he is very similar to a mage. It’s just that this guy doesn’t hold a staff and doesn’t wear a mage robe, so I don’t think so. So sure.

In addition to the old man, there were two young people who had the same reaction. Both men were wearing white robes. There is a hood on the head, and the face cannot be seen due to the brim of the hood, but I feel that one of the two people is the person who stared at me when I was observing the battle on the merchant ship.

After confirming the target, I whispered a few instructions directly to the pirate captain. The other party immediately ordered the personnel to rush all the crew members on the merchant ship to the ship's cargo warehouse, which was the room where they had previously detained these crew members and locked them up again. Of course, those three unique people were left behind.

Since there were only three people left, there was no need for me to stand so high, so I went directly down to the deck and walked near the three of them. Then he looked at them and asked again: "Do you also know that the world is always reincarnating?"

"So what if you know?" A young man who was following the old man suddenly said this. At the same time, he also raised his head and took off his hood. Hidden by the hood is short golden wavy hair, sharp facial lines and a suit of silver armor. This guy looks like a prince charming. The only problem is that the horse has gone somewhere.

I haven't had time to answer the prince's words yet. The old man next to him spoke first. "Are you going back and forth like this to find the reason why you can't end this reincarnation?"

I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the other party spoke, because being able to ask like this means that the other party knows about reincarnation, and the previous performance of the pirates clearly showed that they actually have no last wish. So, the only possibility to end this world is to satisfy this side. The last wishes of the three people are the root problems of this world. After the players accepted the mission, they were on a pirate ship as soon as they came in, and the target of the robbery was this merchant ship. Who would have thought that the key person to end the mission would be on this robbed merchant ship?

The key to being unable to complete the mission before was that the mission target could not be found. Now that we know the problem, it is easier to solve.

"Dear old man, we are indeed looking for a way to end this endless cycle. Since we remember this cycle, we should also know how painful this endless cycle of world is, so I believe you also want to end it all. .Say yes?”

The young man next to the old man seemed to want to say something, but he was stopped by the old man as soon as he made a move. "I really want to end this cycle, but we have to repeat it again and again because we can't end it."

"What?"

"Because of that." The young man finally shouted impulsively, and at the same time, his finger pointed at the sea. We looked in the direction of his finger, and found that the huge imperial fleet had appeared at some point. On the sea.

After seeing the fleet, I was stunned for a moment, and then I came to my senses. "Could it be that that fleet is not here to rescue you, or is it just passing by here?"

The young man shouted again: "Rescue? On the way? Will they rescue us? They are just here to hunt us down!"

Upon hearing this, the pirate captain over there couldn't help but scream. "I asked why the entire Imperial fleet would come out to encircle and suppress our second-rate pirate group. After a long time of doing this, we were just unlucky enough to get shot?"

"What else do you think?" the young man snorted coldly.

"Sorry for causing trouble for you." The one who had been silent finally spoke. Of course, she also took off her hood, and only then did we realize that she was actually a beautiful girl. If the previous one was Prince Charming. So this one is basically Snow White. Her figure was completely hidden by the robe, but her face was so delicate that it was not only well-proportioned, but most importantly, fair. It's just like a boiled egg with the shell removed, no pores can be seen, and it's so white that it seems to be almost transparent. Just when I was observing the other person's appearance. The beautiful girl continued: "Actually, my brother and I are the third prince and the little princess of the empire. This person here is my teacher McPherson, who is also the imperial master." He stood up to her words. The pirates over there flashed all their weapons, and it was obvious that the identity of this imperial military commander was quite intimidating.

Seeing this situation, the princess quickly explained: "You don't have to do this. The teacher has actually been seriously injured, and now he has no ability to cast any spells."

"So that fleet at the back is here to hunt you down?" After watching so many dramas about palace struggles, I suddenly discovered that a princess and a prince were being chased by their country's fleet. Of course, I immediately thought of the fight for the throne. Fight or something.

Sure enough, the princess said: "Yes. After our second brother killed his eldest brother and father, he became the emperor, and then he wanted to kill us. Teacher, he got our father's order and escorted us out. But he himself We were also injured and lost our mana. But unfortunately, we were intercepted and robbed by them when we got here, so we were delayed. In the end, we were caught up by the imperial fleet, and then we all died here and fell into an infinite loop."

After listening to the princess's words, I nodded directly and said: "Now I know that an ordinary merchant ship will have a mountain of gold and silver treasures. After a long time, you are a prince and princess, and it is understandable that you have money. "

"No, this is not our money." The princess explained: "This is actually all the treasures of the secret country, which is equivalent to more than twice the total value of the current external treasury. Father said that the second brother must be a tyrant. So he asked us to take it away He cannot get these treasures, otherwise he will definitely use the money to form an army for external expansion, and then there will be a loss of life again!"

"Your dad is really kind!" The pirate captain said this, but the tone was mostly mocking.

The prince wanted to get angry. But he was held down by the old man. The princess was obviously smarter and calmer than her brother. She didn't react at all when she heard this, as if she didn't hear it. She continued: "Although you have found us now and know the reason for the endless cycle of this world, you should also know that our wish is impossible to fulfill."

"What?" the pirate captain said immediately: "President Ziri has successfully escaped pursuit with us before. Don't you just not have to be caught? Just let President Ziri take you and run away. We will leave it to you. Cut off the queen and ensure your safe escape." After all, he has died countless times, and the pirate captain just wants to rest in peace. Cutting off the queen is not a big deal.

The pirate captain and I had similar thoughts. Unexpectedly, just after the pirate captain finished speaking, the princess over there said: "No, no, no, we made three wishes before we died." After a pause Continued: "With the lives and souls of the three of us."

"What? You didn't use the wishing spell, did you?" I immediately became Spartan after hearing the princess' explanation. I asked how the obsessions of a few people can form such a powerful time segment. It took a long time to make a wish. No wonder it is so cheating! Although the wishing spell is infinitely powerful and is known as the forbidden spell among forbidden spells, its other nickname is the king of cheats, which is an absolutely wrong-headed spell. Usually the result of using the wishing spell will be satisfied, but the way of satisfying you will definitely make you laugh or cry. It seems like it is completed, but it is okay to say that it is not completed. Anyway, it’s just very cheating.

The mage on the other side seemed to blush when he heard my exclamation, and finally said sheepishly: "When we were intercepted by you, we were so angry that we impulsively used a wishing scroll in the treasure. It is said that It’s something from the age of mythology. But as you can see, nothing has changed, but we ourselves have fallen into this cycle.”

"No, no, no." I interrupted the old mage, and then said: "Although the wishing spell is often unreliable, it will definitely work, especially when the price is huge. You have sacrificed your life and soul, and the result will definitely be terrible. Powerful. The current space cycle is one of the results. Your wish must have come true. It’s just that you didn’t discover it.”

"Really?" asked the princess.

I nodded: "Anyway, so far I have never heard of a successful wish spell that has no effect. Now tell me what wishes you have made? I will help you see how it works, and I will study it by the way. How to end this damn cycle.”

They probably thought that it was already like this and there was nothing to worry about, so the princess and the others expressed their wishes after only a slight hesitation.

"I made a wish at that time, hoping that the pirates who intercepted us would suffer the most painful punishment in the world. That they would never have peace after death." The prince was the first to express his wish.

The pirate captain sighed helplessly: "Who told you that your wish didn't come true? Isn't this punishment for us? Every time the fleet comes, it will sink us, and then we will have to relive the feeling of death again. You Do you know how many times we have died over the years? One million, two hundred and sixty-seven thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven times. Doesn’t this mean there is no peace after death? We have died more than one million times, and there are so many people in the world. What punishment is more serious than this? Even if someone in your kingdom commits the crime of treason, he doesn’t have to die more than a million times, right?"

"Huh? Have you really died so many times? In this way, my wish has been carried out completely!" The prince's tone was obviously not as aggressive as before. But after listening to the princess's narration. I didn't care about his tone. After all, if it were me who was stopped by someone while running for my life, I was killed by my enemy. I will definitely hate the person who stopped me. In this situation, you have shown good restraint by not rushing directly to strangle the opponent, so how can you care about the tone of voice? However, now that he heard that the other party had died more than a million times, the prince was obviously very angry. After all, this punishment was indeed harsh enough.

After listening to the prince's narration, I looked at the princess and the wizard and asked, "What is your wish? What is it?"

The mage said: "My wish is that this treasure does not fall into the hands of the imperial fleet."

I nodded and said: "This wish seems to have been carried out quite well. The pirates robbed your treasure and were sunk later. They did not get a single gold coin. By the way, isn't that scroll of yours a wish-making spell? But something more advanced? It seems that the wish-making spells I have seen before are not so reliable. The first two wishes were almost fulfilled to the letter, right?"

The mage shook his head and said he didn't know. He only knew that the scroll should record the wishing spell. He didn't know the other information. After all, he didn't even know about the existence of this treasure before. Later, he discovered that the scroll had been noticed temporarily and he didn't know it at all. Time to explore the origin of the scroll. I can only say that this is a mystery, anyway, the scroll has been used, and it was before the loop fragment. We can't see it now.

After we had finished talking I turned to the princess and asked, "What is your wish?"

The princess became obviously embarrassed after hearing my words, and you could clearly see her face turning into a red apple.

"Eh? Did I say something that I shouldn't have said?"

"No, it's not." The princess explained quickly. "That...that...is actually my wish!"

"What's wrong?"

"My wish is that the imperial fleet abandons darkness and turns to light in front of me, and then follows me to counterattack and oust my second brother from the throne." After the princess finished speaking, she lowered her head in shame, wishing she could stuff her head inside the deck like an ostrich.

After a few of us were stunned for a long time. The pirate captain over there suddenly said: "She is such a good girl who loves to dream!"

I glanced at the pirate captain with sympathy, and then suddenly said loudly: "Okay, since this is your wish, let us complete it."

"Eh? That...my wish is..."

Before the princess finished speaking, I interrupted her directly and said: "I don't know what kind of scroll you took out at that time, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a wishing spell, because your wishes have been completely It was executed without any deviation. This is not the style of wishing. As for the last wish...it is not that it did not take effect, but the effect became very weak due to insufficient energy. Your scroll cannot be used directly with the last wish. The energy fulfills the princess's wish, so it keeps you in this cyclic world, and releases a mission outside to summon adventurers like me to help you fulfill your last wish, and the price is the mage. I don’t want the treasure that the second prince got.”

Hear my explanation. Everyone was suddenly enlightened immediately.

"That's it. No wonder we thought the scroll didn't work. It turns out the problem lies here." Master McPherson was the first to sigh: "It seems that what we used is not the wishing scroll. The real wishing spell cannot So powerful. It can fulfill the master's wish exactly, and it can actively find alternatives when the energy is insufficient. This is so powerful! Even the wish-making technique, known as the forbidden curse among forbidden curses, is impossible. To accomplish something so complex.”

"Okay, okay. Let's not worry about what kind of scroll it is now. What we have to do now is to fulfill the princess's wish. The first two wishes have been fulfilled very well. It's just that the last wish seems to require me. Done for you!"

"Stop joking, do you have a way to make the entire imperial fleet rebel and join us?" The prince said disdainfully: "Let alone asking them to join us, it is impossible even to defeat them, let alone let them take the initiative to join us. ”

The mage nodded and sighed after hearing this: "Yes! It is impossible for them to take the initiative to surrender to Gen. The fleet is composed of the most loyal naval warriors in the empire. They were deceived by the false news about the second prince's walk, so we We killed His Majesty the King, so they will not seek refuge with us, but will spare no effort to hunt us down."

"No, no, no. Nothing is impossible in this world. As long as there are the right conditions, anything can happen. All we need is to create a condition."

"What conditions?" the prince asked.

"I am thinking."

"Humph, you're not just talking big words."

"No, I've already thought of it." After I finished speaking, I suddenly raised my head and said to the mage over there: "Does your empire have gods you believe in?"

"Of course." The mage was obviously surprised that I would ask such a question.

I nodded and said, "That's good. Then tell me the composition of the gods in your country. I hope to know the status of the various gods in your country among the different groups of people."

Hear my request. Although the mage over there was very confused, he still introduced it to me. As for the imperial fleet that came over to cause trouble midway, of course I left it to my demon pets to deal with it. However, this time, the prince and princess were both shocked and grinning from ear to ear. Even the mage's explanation was paused for a short while. It was actually normal for the prince not to believe that I could deal with the imperial fleet over there, because no normal person would believe it. After all, there were more than a thousand warships, and we only had one pirate ship, which was driven around like rabbits before. , of course they will not believe that we have the strength to bring the fleet to its knees. As for the times I destroyed the fleet before, they didn't see it at all, because the pirates would lock them in the cabin every time they robbed me. Although the pirates left tools according to the rules and they could come out on their own with a little effort after the pirates left, the three princes knew that the world was cyclical and would soon start to reset at this time. , so they didn't even bother to open the door, and directly told the people on the boat not to waste energy. In this way, they would be locked in the cabin every time, waiting for the environment to reset, and then they could come out automatically. No one would see the naval battle outside, and naturally they would not know how powerful I was. It was precisely because they didn't know it before that my demon pets reacted so badly when they saw it for the first time.

"Okay, I think I understand what to do."

Master McPherson quickly returned to normal after being frightened by my demon pet, and then confidently explained to me the situation of the earth gods. To put it simply, the gods in this place do not seem to be the gods on the main game map. They are probably a duplicitous god system. Because although Iceland is a bit far away from the European continent, generally speaking, it should still be within the sphere of influence of the Dark Temple. In other words, according to the location, the god here should be Ditans from the Dark Temple, but after asking, I found out that the god here is a guy I have never heard of. No wonder I thought the pirates here were weak in combat. After working for a long time, this is a Du Li world, and it seems to be a low-magic world. Most of the people don't know magic, and those who do have average abilities. Except, of course, that weird wish scroll that works surprisingly well.

After collecting all the side information, we still let the pirate ship sink and then started to reset the scene. After all, we need a beautiful opening. This kind of messy state is not suitable for my plan to persuade to surrender.

When the environment resets again, we're back to a state where the Imperial fleet is no longer present. On the merchant ship opposite, only the princess and the three of them had memories. The others didn't know about reincarnation at all. In their memory, this was the first time they encountered pirates. But as the pirate captain said before, these crew members were very cooperative. Because the princess and the others had memories, they ordered not to resist. The people on the ship were die-hard loyalists to the prince and princess, and they were the kind of people who would follow them even if they really killed the old king, so the prince and princess' orders were particularly useful here.

After letting the crew stay below, the prince and princess and I gathered together again, of course the pirate captain was indispensable. Then I checked the lines with them again regarding the previous plan before resetting the scene, and made sure that everyone was fine before starting. action plan. This time the two ships did not escape, but took the initiative to head towards the direction of the imperial fleet. Since you want to persuade someone to surrender, you must have a posture, at least show your righteousness. If you are chased and beaten all the way, what kind of image do you have? So, this time we are going to do the opposite.

Because we took the initiative to advance towards the opponent this time, we encountered the imperial fleet a lot earlier, and all the commanders of the fleet on the opposite side were stunned for a moment. It's not because they think the meeting time has passed, after all, they don't know that this place has been going through reincarnation, so their memory is that they caught up with the prince and princess's boat for the first time, and they don't know the meeting time. What surprised them was two things.

First, they were surprised that the prince and princess's boat not only did not run away, but actually rushed towards them. The second is the opponent's navigation method. As mentioned before, the imperial fleet is heading downwind, which means that the pirate ship and the merchant ship next to it are now heading upwind. The navy in the era of sailing ships suddenly saw two sailing ships without hoisting sails going against the wind at a speed several times faster than they were. This sight frightened many people. Some captains and lookouts holding telescopes couldn't help but put down their telescopes and rub their eyes, pretending they were hallucinating. However, when they put the telescope back in front of their eyes, an even more astonishing scene appeared in their eyes.

"Oh my God! What do I see?" were the thoughts in the minds of all those with telescopes in the Imperial fleet.
