This answer seemed to be self-evident between Anjie and Tang.
Tang smiled.
Angie was helpless.
Finally, the newly promoted mystic could only nod. She smoothed the hair around her ears, bowed, and lowered her voice: "Okay, I will obey your will."
The puppet can make suggestions, but it can only make suggestions. The one who makes the decision is always the puppeteer who holds the puppet string.
After watching his own puppet leave, Tang retracted his gaze, flicked a gold coin casually, and turned away without caring about the front and back of the coin.
Today is the day he and the former pirate agreed.
"According to your meaning, a ship that is strong enough." Ellis held a cigarette in his mouth and pointed with his chin to the empty unmanned ship docked at the port not far away.
"It does look strong enough."
"As long as you can pay the price," Ellis raised his chin, "To be frank, even if you want a pirate ship that can accommodate a hundred people, I can find it."
"However, is it really okay not to use sailors? Or do you plan to row the boat yourself? Even a small boat requires a certain number of sailors. Do you plan to use secret dolls instead?"
What can a few secret dolls do?
Still thinking that the man in front of him was a newly promoted secret doll master, Ellis laughed at the other party's fantasy in his heart, but when he thought of the incredible things about the extraordinary, he swallowed the words.
There are always various extraordinary people in this world. The other party is only Sequence 5, but there may be no way, such as some rituals, such as some strange seals.
"Ah, that's the question." Tang turned his head and smiled at the former pirate, "No, I don't plan to use the secret doll to replace the sailor's rowing plan."
Ellis was stunned. Hearing this, and looking at the other party's eyes, the former pirate suddenly had some bad premonitions.
And this premonition soon came true.
"If there is nothing else, I think I should leave, and then pay me the balance..." He took a step back, but silently spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth under Tang's gaze.
The other party's attitude at this time gave him a guess that he couldn't think deeply. Ellis, the former pirate, had a change of expression several times, but finally fixed on a somewhat servile smile.
Ah no, people can't, at least they shouldn't!
"Belle is pregnant, I need to take care of her." He said sincerely, "and the business here also needs me."
Under Tang's 'gentle' and somewhat creepy gaze, the former pirate took two steps back and bumped into the woman who was also walking silently behind him.
"Belle?" The former pirate turned his head subconsciously, he was startled, and then he saw his wife.
"Long time no see, Belle." Tang smiled and greeted the visitor, who seemed not surprised at all.
The visitor looked to be just over 1.7 meters tall, with a neat ponytail, her skin glowing with a healthy color, with a strong figure, and wearing a neat outfit for going to sea. If it weren't for the slightly bulging belly that indicated that this healthy and neat woman was pregnant, I believe it would be difficult for anyone to connect the two together.
"Long time no see, Tang."
Belle gently pushed Ellis, who was standing in front of her like a wooden chicken, and said nothing. She took a big step forward and stepped into the boat prepared for Tang.
"Let's go, I can't wait to go out to sea."
Tang glanced at Ellis, who seemed to be petrified, and then smiled and walked onto the boat.
Obviously, it was this damn guy who called people over.
Ellis's expression gradually restrained. He looked at Tang's back expressionlessly, took a deep breath, and seemed to have been convinced by reality. Then he had to walk onto the boat together.
"So, how should we set out? Without sailors, it will take a lot of time for us to go to the depths of the Sonia Sea, and we will definitely encounter countless monster attacks on the way."
Belle is a cheerful former female pirate. She loves sea adventures and is not resistant to it. She is even eager to try: "Should we hunt? There is nothing on the ship, where is the fresh water? Food can be solved by sea monsters and fish in the sea. How to deal with these, Tang?"
Tang shook his head and took out a crystal carved monocle from his pocket. It was obviously a valuable monocle and put it in front of his right eye.
"There is no need to think so much. We can use the method of mysticism to drive this ship."
"As for sea monsters, there are naturally ways to deal with them, and there are also ways to solve the problem of food."
The sea breeze blew. In the era when there were no steam engines, most ships that went out to sea could only rely on the sailors' oars and sails to power the ships. The Storm Church would raise special sea monsters to pull the ships.
Other extraordinary people in other ways either travel, distort the rules, seduce a ship of sailors, directly make hundreds of secret puppets, or imagine a large ship...
When walking on the sea, each path naturally has its own method.
For Tang...
"For example, cheating part of the rules."
The oars without anyone working started to move. The rules were deceived, making these oars think they were being pushed. Tang used the uniqueness to create a 'mistake'.
"I am such a smart guy." Tang sighed.
System: It's been transformed, it's been transformed, ah ah ah ah ah!
Host, don't lose your mind!
'He is really skilled, and even makes me feel that he knows this very well. '
Amon in the monocle was shielded by Tang's spirituality and could only watch this scene.
Even if the conscientious system hates Amon, it still monitors the thing in the monocle according to the wishes of its host.
After hearing this, it said: 'Ah ah ah you also get out! '
Amon automatically ignored the system that continued to scream, and said to himself: 'Well, does he really not take the path of a thief? I think this is very interesting. '
'Question me, understand me, and become me. ' The corners of Amon's mouth in the monocle wearing a pointed soft hat curled slightly, as if he thought this was a very pleasant suggestion.
'It's really interesting. He has a lot of very strange knowledge, but neither I nor my brother know of his existence. '
'I wonder if my brother would be interested enough in him, and the organization he created, huh…'
System: 'Antivirus! I want to kill the virus! '
The ship slowly sailed out of the port and headed deeper into the Sonia Sea.
This place is still a long way from the ruins of the God War, and relying on this physical drive alone, it obviously takes a considerable amount of time.
But Tang didn't seem to care. After confirming that the extraordinary power of the deception rule worked, he came to the plywood, bathing in the warm sunlight and baking the cold air on his body, making him a little lazy.
On a cold day, even the worms squatting in the corner to grow mushrooms need to come out to bask in the sun.
This is a rare leisure time, and there will be a lot of work next.
"It's been quite a long time since we last met."
Ellis went to the captain's room, and Bailey walked to Tang's side, looking into the distance together, and said.
"Yes, it has been a long time." Tang sighed.
After being promoted to the Master of Secret Puppetry through the mermaid's singing, he returned to Tingen.
After that, the never-ending theater, the God-descending vessel of the dark side of the universe, the Euclid space, the old man, Amon, and the wilderness of knowledge followed one after another, which was indeed compact and fulfilling.
"What are you going to do in the depths of the Sonia Sea this time?"
Beri asked.
"From the depths of the Sonia Sea, I got some answers I wanted." Tang did not stay on this question for too long. He naturally set his eyes on Beili's belly, "How old is the child?"
"Three months old."
Speaking of the child, Beili's mouth was filled with a happy smile. She touched her belly and her voice became gentle, "I have been looking forward to the arrival of this child for a long time."
"The arrival of a new life always makes people feel happy." Tang sighed, "Don't you plan to leave the sea? Go to big cities in countries such as Loen and Intis. With your accumulated wealth and your own abilities, plus the strong power of the local officials, as long as you are willing, you can live without worries."
"No." Beili said softly, "Although your proposal is very tempting to me, I still prefer the freedom of the sea to the big city."
Tang shrugged his shoulders at her thoughts and did not say anything more on this issue.
Everyone has their own way of living, and he can't get involved too much.
Ellis, who had come out of the captain's room at some point, lit another cigarette. He seemed to have been watching them for a long time, and then he said to Tang in a hoarse voice, "Tang, come here."
Hearing this, Tang turned his head to look at the former pirate, touched the bottom edge of his right monocle with his index finger, and said to him with a smile, "No, I refuse."
Ellis paused with his cigarette in his hand, and the surprise in his eyes was particularly obvious.
It seemed that he had never considered that Tang would refuse this matter.
"If you don't tell the truth, I don't think we have anything to talk about."
After saying this, Tang turned his body sideways and continued to bask in the sun lazily. Bailey on the side turned her head and looked at Ellis.
"Bailey, you..."
"Why do you want me to avoid it?" Bailey asked first.
Ellis choked again.
"Because of some little secrets, oh, these are probably not suitable for you to hear." Tang added a knife from the side.
Belle nodded and said in agreement: "But I don't think there are any little secrets that I can't hear."
"Maybe, after all, everyone needs some private space of their own." Tang adjusted the position of the monocle and continued to add a knife.
"But I don't think it's necessary." Bailey spread her hands and looked at her husband.
Tang also looked at him.
Being stared at by the two, Ellis could only put out his cigarette butt and turned away.
He was so angry that he wanted to curse.
He used the knuckle of his index finger to touch the bottom edge of the monocle. After the man was angry, Tang turned his eyes back.
"Have you been to the depths of the Sonia Sea?"
The Fountain of Youth is located in the God War Ruins. If Ellis had not been there, he, a Sequence 7, would not have been able to obtain such a thing.
Even if he heard the relevant information, it would not have evolved into a completely unreliable rumor that he had obtained food related to the Fountain of Youth.
The God War Ruins are full of various whispers, and the most dangerous of them are the whispers of the real creator.
But facing the whispers of that place, the mid- and low-sequence Beyonders are not in great danger. On the contrary, the higher the sequence, the more they can hear the various whispers that are filled in that place.
The center of the God War Ruins is where the ancient sun god fell. It is safe there. But the closer you get to the center of the God War Ruins, the greater the danger will be. Even if you are a Sequence 3, it will take more than a month to get close to there, and you will have to face countless dangers.
What sea monsters, what darkness that disappears when not sleeping, what talking corpses, what messy things.
The danger factor of that place is quite high. Tang planned to go deep into the ruins of the war of gods if he couldn't find the mermaid, but at that time he was just a faceless man. Even if there were many high-level spells in the field of death in the system space, plus the assistance of the system, he still had to be cautious.
"No." Belle shook her head. "We haven't been out to sea since we came back from looking for mermaids."
"That's a bit strange."
Tang replied, "I got some interesting news. It said that Ellis has clues about the Fountain of Youth."
"Fountain of Youth?" Belle obviously hadn't heard of this thing. She asked in confusion, "Is it something in the depths of the Sonia Sea?"
"I guess so." Tang said, "According to legend, drinking the water of the Fountain of Youth can gain eternal life."
After hearing this, Belle asked directly, "It seems that you don't think so."
"Of course." Tang smiled, "There are always idiots who will be attracted by such unfounded things and then go to destruction."
"I guess the Fountain of Youth is a potion material of a certain sequence in a certain path." He walked to the edge of the deck and looked at the endless blue sky and sea, "Sequence 3 of the Witch Path, called the Immortal Witch."
The Fountain of Youth may be the pus that flows out of the body of the Immortal Witch after she dies.
"If a normal person drinks this kind of thing, the only outcome is that he will lose control and turn into a monster."
"But Ellis shouldn't be that kind of person. He has always been very cautious."
"So, who spread this rumor?"
Some rumors heard from the pirate leader of the Storm Church made Tang guess.
Combined with the ability of the Euclid space 'Heaven's Gate', he also roughly sorted out the problems that arose.
Tang looked at Bailey, and Bailey looked back at him calmly.
The two spoke together.
"Witch Sect."
Tang laughed, "Compared to Ellis, the seemingly smart fool, I really, really like you, Bailey."
He didn't hide anything.
Ellis: "..."
I want to curse even more.
