Chapter 117 An Unexpected Partner

There were no windows or lights in the cabin, a dark compartment where even light could not penetrate through the gaps. The door made a slight sound under the cautious movement of Barnes. He looked up at the ceiling, focusing on the two-floor deck, and let out a long breath, thinking that the cunning warlock might have succeeded in calming the furious warrior. In fact, the captain's field of vision was broader than John's. Seeing the menacing tall man, and just taking a glance at it, Barnes began to feel frightened and quickly escaped from the deck.

"A great captain should know how to make good use of others, and he is obviously not my type." Barnes closed the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead in the dark, thinking that he would go up in half an hour. It only takes half an hour. He will definitely regain his dignity as a captain.

But now, Barnes smiled and headed into the cabin in the dark, with a triumphant chuckle.

"This is my thing." Barnes remembered that there was a box of rum that he purchased and secretly hidden in this cabin. He threw the box in the debris pile, hoping to rely on it to survive the sea. Hard time.

The gloomy John will not understand the value of these treasures. He will only stubbornly ask everyone to keep a clear head. If he finds his treasures, Barnes does not want to take the risk of feeding the sharks to get them back. Thinking of this, Barnes pushed his hand another inch deeper into the dark gap. Two cargo boxes stacked with cables clamped his shoulders, and he had to exert more force.

Barnes didn't find it troublesome. In fact, he really enjoyed the process of groping for treasures in the dark. It felt like looking for gold on the night road, and he was sure to find it.

In the darkness, Barnes still kept a smile on his face. There was only the sound of cargo moving in the cabin, and the sea water gently slapped the bulkhead. Everything kept a brisk rhythm.

Until Barnes noticed another movement in the room.

He lowered his head suddenly, quickly broke away from the pressure, and rolled towards the empty position in his memory. A series of flashes of light chased his footsteps, but they were all narrowly avoided by Barnes' embarrassed figure.

Barnes' eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he stared at the back of the container, looking at the very existential black figure blurred in the darkness.

Uninvited guests hide in his boat.

A pair of dark red irises glowed in the darkness, and the confronting figure was holding a short sword tightly.

The shadow flipped his wrist, and the sword edge danced in the air like a snake, and then pointed directly at Barnes.

Barnes raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh~ Pirate Duel!" He took off the gorgeous stabbing sword from his waist with excitement, stabbed it cleanly in the air, and threatened proudly: "Aha! You have chosen The most ugly outcome, a rat in the bilge!”

A slight ridicule came from the black shadow, and the eyes were filled with light. In the next second, they rushed forward and intersected with Barnes' sword.

Flexible steps jumped in a small space, and the reflection of the sword blade struck out a light spot that illuminated the darkness. The two passed a few moves.

The black shadow held the sword, twisted his body, and moved the sword's edge.

With a clang, the flashy stabbing sword fell from Barnes' hand, and he himself showed an embarrassed expression as the enemy's weapon was pressed against his neck.

The black shadow sneered mercilessly: "Can't you even compare to the rats in the bilge?"

Barnes raised his hands in surrender much more swiftly than he could wield his sword, and he let out a few pale laughs, like a cock stuck in his throat.

"Hahaha...how about best of three games?"

The black shadow approached, and the sword pressing on Barnes' neck became a little heavier.

"No matter how many times, I will win..."

As the distance between the faces of the two people got closer, Barnes gradually distinguished the outline of the black shadow. He looked at the face, his eyes were lost for a second, and he murmured.

"You... are a woman..."

The blood-red eyes released charming magic as they stared at each other, and hypnotic whispers sounded in the darkness.

"Yes, I will also be...your master..."

"……Owner……"

"Yes, you are mine, and so is this ship."

Vivian Odiz was satisfied that the spell had ended. She examined Barnes' eyes that were already enchanted and put down the weapon that controlled him. She never thought that she would fail, and her confidence in the charm spell was as confident as her awareness of her own charm.

So when Barnes turned around and ran away unprepared, Vivian's reaction was a step slower.

"Help!!! There is a guy hiding in the cabin who wants my life!!!"

Barnes burst onto the deck, running and screaming. He knew that the combat forces to provide help were up there, and this distance was easy for them.

Two people on the deck, looking for the captain, heard Barnes calling for help.

Raven and John looked at each other, and the former removed the lid of the wooden barrel containing oranges and rushed down the cabin as a makeshift weapon.

John Kemp observed the surroundings of the Morning Star for possible approaching enemies. Crimson ribbons spread from under his robes, quietly surrounding the entire ship.

The warlock, who had prepared his spell, walked into the cabin and walked towards the sound of the fighting.

In the not-so-wide corridor, Raven blocked the intruder by himself, holding up the wooden barrel lid and holding the metal lamp stand with his other hand. His two-handed sword could not be used here, but the female ranger's dagger could not be used here. The area is like a fish in water.

Vivian suppressed Raven, who was simply equipped, but the warrior had completed his task well, and Barnes was intact and watching behind Raven.

John's arrival attracted everyone's attention.

"Is it you?" One voice was confused, and another voice was surprised.

John looked at Vivian, who was blocked by Raven's body, and felt that trouble was coming.

"Don't worry, just kill her."

"This is a misunderstanding!"

The different voices on both sides made Raven roll his eyes, glanced at John inexplicably, and continued to be wary of Vivian who put down her weapon.

“Now all it takes is a leadership voice.”

"That must be me!" Barnes stood up amid the silence.

The captain cleared his throat and glanced narrowly at John.

"Who is this……"

"I am Vivian Odiz, the ranger of Lenwood. I am going to sea this time to complete a noble mission. Everything is the will of the mistress." Vivian introduced herself actively, her cheerful look was almost... Let Barnes forget about the female swordsman before.

"Ma'am, you nearly held the greatest captain on this ship hostage."

"That was just an accident, great captain." Vivian saluted gracefully to Barnes behind Raven, "I like this beautiful ship, and I believe she must be the best vehicle to complete my mission. My original plan was to take control of this ship and force you to change course and sail towards the goal that my destiny is all about."

Vivian's eyes turned to John, as if to pay tribute to this wonderful fate.

"But now I realize that maybe I have found the most suitable companion and the right direction. Maybe our goals will magically be the same, great Mr. Captain."

Barnes watched Vivian with his eyes, thinking about the opportunities and dangers represented by this somewhat freewheeling woman.

"Our target is the Chaotic Sea, Vivian."

"Please allow me to come with you, Captain." The female ranger put away her sword and waved hello to the calm warrior, but Raven did not respond to her.

"I'm occasionally open to suggestions..." Barnes asked other companions for their opinions.

"Her fighting skills are excellent, and no matter whether she is kind or malicious, she is not targeting me." Raven gave his own answer.

"I..." John was about to speak.

"Okay! Welcome to join us! Vivian!" Barnes showed a bright smile and applauded eagerly, "It is undoubtedly a wonderful thing to watch a delicate rose on the sea."

The matter of Vivian joining was quickly finalized. John suppressed his emotions and went to the side to grab Barnes by the collar.

"What on earth are you thinking? She was fighting against you just a few minutes ago."

"My instinct tells me that she will be very valuable to us." Barnes said nonchalantly. "Trust your captain, John. This is not the first time I have set sail full of hostility and surprise."

"It certainly won't be the last time."
