Cyberzaun, Machinarium

As for whether they might be fellow pirates, Sarah never even thought about it. Why would they become pirates when they have such a good ship? Only penniless desperadoes would do such a thing.

Jinx hesitated for a moment, gently tapped Sarah's forehead with the muzzle of the gun, and turned to look at Enoch who was standing aside.

"Please wait a moment." Jinx smiled, turned around and pulled Enoch to the side. "What do you think?"

"My opinion is to kill them all. Pirates cannot be trusted. We are not visiting Bilgewater anyway, so we don't need a guide." Enoch waved his hand. He would not stay in Bilgewater for too long. Apart from visiting the priestess who was quite prestigious among the pirates, he didn't care how many enemies there were.

“You make the decision.”

Jinx nodded, twirled her pistol lightly, and gestured to the sailor. The kneeling pirates in front of her were carried to the side of the ship like chickens and stood there, waiting for Jinx to shoot them in the head one by one and then throw them into the sea.

The decks would not get dirty, the animals in the sea would get unexpected food, and a world would be achieved where no one would get hurt except the pirates.

Perhaps some people present here have overestimated the confidence of these pirates who look ferocious. They haven't even executed a few of them yet, and all the tough guys who live on the edge of a knife are still boasting about how much treasure they have and saying they will give it all to the pirates if they let them go.

Would the military-industrial oligarchs care about a few coins from these pirates? Enoch thought it would be the most embarrassing thing to release these scum just for the sake of ransom.

"Okay, shut up. I'm going to aim at your head. Don't move. I promise it will only hurt a little." Jinx looked at the pirate who was moving around with dissatisfaction. Finally, she lost her patience, made a bloody hole in the man's body, and kicked him down.

"Now," Jinx turned to look at the remaining people, "cooperate with me, I can give you a quick death, otherwise you will end up like him and feed the fish."

The pirate who was trying to struggle was shot in the calf and thrown off the warship. No one on the ship was going to treat the pirate well.

Just as Jinx was about to execute the only pirate who didn't cry or make a fuss, Miss Fortune suddenly spoke up: "Do you know how to survive the Haunting Night, little pink faces? Be careful not to be captured by ghosts."

Jinx couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. She was responsible for the fists, while Enoch was the brain. Although sometimes the brain didn't work very well, she still looked behind her out of habit.

Enoch was also a little hesitant. He had inquired before setting sail and was told that there was no good way to deal with the Harrowing Night except hiding. However, he didn't think he would encounter such bad luck recently. According to his plan, he would tear down Bilgewater, find the priestess to ask some questions, and go in and out quickly without getting into any trouble.

But... Enoch looked up at the confident female captain. As a local boss, she was so confident. Could something have happened again?

They are not Seraphine, and they cannot hear other people's voices, otherwise Enoch would have ordered the execution to continue.

Sarah didn't have any plans. Facing the Harrowing Night, there was basically no way to deal with it except to hide well, unless you could get the amulet of the sea beast sacrifice. Of course, if you could get some magical gadgets or weapons from Demacia, you could also resist those greedy hungry ghosts.

But why should we stay on the island if we have this thing? Wouldn’t it be better to stay away from it in advance?

Miss Fortune knew that she had to come up with some good ideas now, otherwise that blue-haired lunatic would really laugh herself to death - damn, there was no such thing even in Bilgewater, they were just villains who were after money, not lunatics.

Now she can only hope that the young pink face is someone who can understand what people say.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Enoch stood up and slowly walked to the kneeling Sarah, and dropped the pocket watch in Jinx's hand back in front of her eyes. "You bought yourself a minute."

This is a good sign. There is neither rejection nor agreement, which means there is something to talk about. Now it all depends on your tongue.

"You're definitely not here to hunt for treasure, are you, little boy?"

"50 seconds." Enoch lay on Jinx, looking at the overly plump woman expressionlessly.

"If I were you, I would leave here immediately. This is not a place for a rich young man like you to come. You can just leave it to me. I am the best in this business and have a great reputation."

"30 seconds"

"If you have any magical gadgets, you'd better keep them with you, or go find some Demacia's fine steel weapons, which can keep you going for a few more minutes. I have a way, if you have enough gold, I can help you get it... I guarantee it's a good thing, sister won't lie to you."

"10 seconds," Enoch sighed, and Jinx tacitly pointed the gun at Sarah's head again, ready to wait for Enoch's order.

"I know a sea beast priest, I can introduce you to him. You can stay in the temple openly, in the best position..." Sarah had lost hope. This damn cold-blooded guy was indifferent to her kindness. She was just throwing her seductive eyes to a blind man.

It's a pity that I haven't had time to take revenge yet. But looking at the posture of this group of people, my enemy is doomed to die.

Just as Sarah was about to close her eyes and wait for death, she heard a sound from heaven.

"Let's talk about the sea beast sacrifice."

Chapter 146: Letter of Submission

Miss Pirate breathed a sigh of relief. The huge contrast of her tense nerves suddenly relaxing made her body shake. She now felt that she was sweating coldly and almost couldn't control her urine.

But the good news is that he managed to save his life. Maybe he could even lead that unromantic brat into a fight with Planck, the overlord of Big Port. Maybe after that, he could even find a way to take this beautiful ship away.

"That's a long story, little handsome boy. Are you ready to listen here? Why don't I tell you slowly in private?"

Enoch shook his head and patted Jinx's back gently. "This girl is still asleep. Let her wake up."

“Yes, Captain,” Jinx smiled, directing the sailors to use a thick cable to tie the ropes that bound Miss Fortune’s hands.

“Let me have a look,” Jinx checked the rope, but Miss Fortune had a bad feeling but still insisted, “What’s wrong, little master? You like this kind of play, right? I can take you…ahhhh”

Before she could finish her words, she was pushed into the sea by Jinx from the side of the ship. She could only tense her body in a hurry and fell into the sea.

"Well, she's a professional, the splash was minimal." Jinx looked at it and gave a rare compliment. She waited for a few seconds before nodding to the sailor on standby, "I think she should be awake now, let's pull her up."

There were no wild roses on the sea now. Sarah was pulled out of the sea in a rather embarrassed manner, like a salted fish. Her whole body was wet, and her originally beautiful wavy hair was wet and stuck to her skin. She looked even worse than the cheapest call girl in Bilgewater.

Enoch put the cigar in his mouth in a pretentious manner and looked at the much more obedient female pirate. "So, dear..."

"Sarah Fortune, daughter of Abigail Fortune." After coughing heavily a few times, Sarah cursed all the relatives of the bastard in front of her in her heart, but she learned her lesson and answered the questions honestly.

"Very good, dear Ms. Sarah Fortune, you see, we are finally off to a good start. So before I throw you down again, I suggest you tell me what you know as soon as possible. This is my advice. You must show enough value before my patience runs out." Dodging the match that the girl handed to him with doubt, Enoch asked the female pirate in a low voice.

"The real name of the sea beast priest is Illaoi. They usually stay in the Blue Flame Islands - they call the place they live in the Serpentine Islands. It is difficult for ordinary people to see them unless someone offers a sacrifice or applies to pass the trial."

"continue"

"I suggest you go to the Baju Temple first to donate some money and bribe the snake caller. This way the chance of a meeting will be greater. As for the trial..." Sarah hesitated. According to her idea, the two damn guys in front of her should participate in the trial, and then all die in the ceremony. It would be best.

After taking a look at Jinx's innocent face, she gave up the idea. This crazy woman was a monster that could chop people into pieces while laughing heartily. It would be better for her not to provoke her.

"...If you haven't lived long enough, you'd better not think about participating in the trial. It's a life-threatening situation, and it's more dangerous than getting into the belly of a sea beast and killing them."

"You are very honest, that's good." Enoch nodded, raised his hand gently, and the woman who was hanging in the air fell to the deck.

Seeing Sarah shaking her hair in anger, Enoch continued to ask without any embarrassment: "You still lack a reason for me not to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

"I'm very useful, believe me, I can do anything." The female pirate threw her wet hair on her shoulders. "I can help you find a way to contact the sea beast priest, and you have killed all my men, except for my first mate... Now I am just a poor sailor, and I can only work for others with two guns. Your ship is so beautiful, it needs a more competent helmsman, and I can meet your recruitment needs."

Sarah laughed twice, the wet vest stuck to her skin, shaking with laughter, as if to throw out the two lumps of things in it. "I can guarantee that with this beauty, you can easily catch up with any enemy... You have seen my application for employment."

First Mate Dibo blushed. If he hadn't been afraid of offending Jinx who was looking at him curiously, he would have opened his mouth to curse.

He sighed helplessly, the first mate he hired was indeed too weak. Looking at the excited Jinx beside him, Enoch was too lazy to care about these things. He turned to the girl and winked, "She is yours."

Seeing the person in charge turn around and leave, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. According to her experience, her life was saved, but how to seize the opportunity to gain benefits next depended on this neurotic girl.

"Dear Miss Sarah," Jinx squatted in front of the female pirate, took a deep breath, and put on a fake smile, "Just now because of a communication problem, I accidentally let you fall. You shouldn't be angry, right?"

I wish I could shoot you all and use your bodies to kill the sea monsters. Sarah smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. This is a trivial matter."

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry that I accidentally damaged your ship. How about we compensate you with a new warship?"

Not so good, this is my first ship, and you guys destroyed it. I should stuff you into my 6-pound cannon and bury you at sea with my ship. Sarah's smile remained unchanged. "It's inevitable that there will be accidental injuries during a chase at sea. It's okay. I'll find a chance to change ships."

"You are so thoughtful. If only your men were still here, maybe you could help more."

That's a really good point. Aren't they all killed by you, a madman? Sarah could hardly keep her smile on. Even if they were temporary recruits, they were my crew.

Jinx didn't wait for a response, turning to the only surviving pirate, "What was your name?"

"Raven... I'm the second mate of the Call Girl."

"Very good, Mr. Raven. Since your captain specifically spoke before you were killed, I think you must have your own specialties, right?" Jinx tapped her lips, looking curious.

"I am a doctor... I have been with the ship the longest, and she is the best helmsman, I can testify"

"Excellent," Jinx nodded, "I like loyal people... so tell me how much you can give to your mistress?"

"everything"

Jinx looked up sharply. "Everything? You mean including life?"

The man nodded firmly, "Yes"

Jinx nodded, pulled out a pistol from her waist and handed it to Sarah who had just stood up, and patted her gently. "You are welcome to join us, but you have to know that the ship is basically full now, and we don't like pirates very much."

Chapter 147 New Sailor

Raven seemed to realize something and closed his eyes in resignation. Perhaps this was not a bad ending for him? At least he died at sea, instead of being eaten as a dessert by some sea beast.

Sarah was in a dilemma at this time. The crew member in front of her was the most loyal to her. He was originally a doctor. It was she who persuaded this guy to join her ship, but in the end she was unable to help him make a fortune. She was a really bad captain.

Sorry, Raven, I have no choice, I have to take revenge... I owe you a life. Sarah was holding a beautifully shaped pistol, which was better looking than all the muskets in Bilgewater combined. As someone who had learned how to make firearms from her mother since she was a child, she could easily tell the advantages of this pistol, including its good aiming ability, easy to carry, and relatively closed structure that could achieve a certain degree of waterproofness.

However, as soon as she picked it up, she was about to kill a loyal person with her own hands, Sarah sighed and aimed at Raven's head. Perhaps all she could do was to give him a quick death.

Or... today is her lucky day. Sarah raised her eyebrows and looked at where Raven was standing, close to the side of the ship, where the executed pirates were thrown off. Maybe these sailors just pulled this silly boy to the side of the ship for convenience.

Good luck to you, Sarah silently wished, and moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, pointing it at his shoulder. I hope this doctor can hold on until he can swim back to the 'Call Girl', where there is still a glimmer of hope. I hope the corpses of the previous pirates can feed the hungry sea beasts first, otherwise...

Miss Fortune took a deep breath. She didn't have time to think about it. All she had to do now was to knock him into the sea without getting seriously injured.

It's not that hard

The slender fingers gently contracted until a soft clicking sound was heard.

"Wow, you are such a cruel woman!" Jinx stood quietly behind Miss Fortune, gently placed her hand on the arm holding the gun, and took the gun away from the woman.

"Is this a test?" Miss Fortune was in a bad mood. She felt more uncomfortable than when she shot Raven to death.

"What test? I told you pirates aren't welcome on this ship, but you're a prisoner and he's a doctor, is there anything wrong?" Jinx said innocently, "I didn't tell you to shoot him, I just wanted to show you this thing."

"...Thank you, I've really broadened my horizons." Sarah gritted her teeth, trying to resist the urge to make a scene.

"Oh my god, you don't think I'm going to give you a gun loaded with bullets, do you?" Jinx said, with her hands behind her back, "Especially when you're ready to kill your own men as soon as you get it."

The hoarse voice made Miss Fortune's stomach churn. She was sure that she hated this girl. After she had used this madman's master to fulfill her revenge, she would rudely trick the ship away from this crazy woman.

With a shrill laugh, Jinx walked towards the captain's room. After a few steps, she suddenly seemed to remember something and ordered the boatswain beside her:

"Give each of these two people a room, and have them clean up and come find us in the captain's room. Hurry."

Ignoring the commotion behind her, Jinx rushed into the captain's room and lay down on her own sofa.

"That woman can't be trusted. You better be careful with your little fingers."

"She's not dead?" Enoch was a little confused. This was not like a girl's style.

"I'm just a little paranoid, not a perverted murderer. Do you have any misunderstanding about me?" The girl kicked her boots aside in dissatisfaction, and they landed heavily on the ground.

"I'm just curious... Tell me what you think." Enoch stood up as usual, put away the girl's boots that were kicked all over the place, and turned to drink the hot cocoa.

"I was testing it. The woman didn't aim at the head. She aimed at the shoulder. I saw it clearly from behind. She was doing something tricky," Jinx said, synchronizing the video data cached by the artificial eye to Enoch.

"Normal. If someone wants me to hurt you, I will go crazy, and I am not prepared to trust that pirate." Putting the hot cocoa on the table next to Jinx, Enoch gently pinched the tip of the girl's nose. "But thank you anyway. I will be careful."

"Good to know." Jinx took a sip with satisfaction, then she remembered the previous question: "When did you learn to smoke cigars?"

"I never smoke... Someone said before that chewing something can help you control your expression better and make you look harder to guess... How did I do?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

"truth"

"You are so stupid. I helped you find matches. I will ignore you next time if you do this." Jinx pouted. "For the sake of this cup of cocoa, I forgive you. That's right. Go get the locator."

"Yes, miss." Enoch stood up and walked towards the safe. "How many do you want? One for each of the two pirates, right?"

"It doesn't matter... Littlefinger, are you hiding something from me?"

Fiddling with the syringe in his hand, Enoch wondered, "No? Why didn't I bring you along?"

"Really?" The girl squinted her eyes and looked at the whiskey glass on the desk. "I heard you say that I wasted all your collection? What's on that desk?"

Ouch, it's over. Enoch pretended not to know and silently cleaned up the clutter on the table.

"I remember that you tied me up and held me for a long time because of this... Any explanation?" Jinx stood lightly behind Enoch, her fingers gently sliding across the spine of his little finger.

"I had someone send it back." Enoch handed two injection guns to Jinx. "It's what you wanted."

"It doesn't matter." Jinx smiled at Little Finger, "Next time I'll tie you up."

………………

By the time Sarah had finished dressing and arrived at the captain's room, Raven had been waiting at the door for a while.

It's not that she didn't think about running away, but the square box on the ceiling of the corridor kept swaying as she moved, so it was obvious that it was not a simple decoration.

Besides, where can she go in the vast ocean? It would be better to take a good look at this huge steel ship.

Compared to his own clipper, this ship was excessively spacious and its stability was even more exaggerated. For veterans like Miss Fortune, a slight shake was no different from being on flat ground.
