Chapter 23 The Song of the Mermaid
Because Lin Dao was on a merchant ship, naturally, Gan Ning's pirate ship did not launch an attack, but just bombarded it with an extremely expensive magic cannon.
With the approach of the pirate ship, Lin Dao saw the whole picture of the pirate ship. This is a very huge warship. Its size is about five times that of a Lindao merchant ship. It is estimated that it can accommodate hundreds of people. The pirate ship is surrounded by a kind of magic cannon similar to a cannon. Although Lin Dao has not seen the power of this magic cannon with his own eyes, Lin Dao has already felt it. If he is hit by this magic cannon, I'm afraid that Lin Dao's merchant ship will turn into flying ash in an instant.
At this time, Lin Dao found that the port of the pirate ship was already full of people. When these people saw Lin Dao's merchant ship, they all screamed, as if they had seen a mouse cat.
Lin Dao seemed a little hesitant. Now can be said to be the best time to escape. If they get close, Lin Dao will not have a chance to escape at all. At the same time, Lin Dao is also worried about whether the sailing speed of his merchant ship can exceed that of the pirate ship. Otherwise, this will only arouse their anger.
"Hey, the merchant ship in front of you, don't worry. Our boss is off today. You just need to offer a little money. Don't try to escape, or you will bear the consequences!" At this time, a huge sound came from the pirate ship. Lindao estimated that it was a loudspeaker device made of some kind of magic, and the effect was similar to that of a loudspeaker.
"Wake up Guan Cheng and tell him to temporarily stop sailing. When I signal, if the situation changes, I will sail at the fastest speed immediately." Hearing what the man said, Gan Ning didn't seem to be on the boat. Lin Dao breathed a little relief when he saw this, but he did not take it lightly, but let the management prepare. Although Lin Dao knew that Guan Cheng had just recovered, even if he had taken Yuanqi elixir, his state had not reached its peak.
"Yes." A broken barracks warrior beside Lin Dao was ordered to leave, and then there were only four broken barracks left Lin Dao's side.
The pirate ship approached quickly, but they did not jump on the merchant ship of Lin Dao. At this time, a middle-aged man came out. The man stood on the side of the ship and looked at Lin Dao condescendingly: "Hey, where are you businessmen from? Why are you here?"
Lin Dao was just ready to say something. He pretended to be a little flustered. As soon as he heard the middle-aged man's question, he hurriedly replied, "This hero, our merchant in the Paradise Valley of Southern Pluto, is ready to sell a kind of medicinal material to the tribe of the water elf under the order of the high elf big Druid of Paradise Valley. This kind of medicinal material is for the water elf. It's extremely useful."
"Paradise Valley?" Hearing these three words, the middle-aged man's eyes were obviously brightened. "I didn't expect the business of Paradise Valley to come here. There is a big Druid of a high elf there? Impossible! Boy, you should know that the end of cheating pirates is to feed the ogre fish!"
"We are indeed merchants in the Paradise Valley. The inner valley of Paradise Valley is inhabited by a group of high-level elves who were originally exiled, including a senior elves. It was her order that we came here, otherwise we would not have known this route at all." The panic on Lin Dao's face remained unchanged, and he also accelerated the speed of his speech.
"Well, it makes sense." The middle-aged man nodded, "In that case, you can follow us. It just so happens that we will go to the Water Elf Tribe to pick up our boss, but before that, you have to pay the protection fee of 10,000 gold coins."
"Okay, okay." Lin Dao nodded. He took out a gold ticket worth 20,000 yuan from his arms, but Lin Dao did not jump on the pirate ship, but said with an embarrassed face, "Well, I'm really sorry. Your ship is too high for us to get on."
"Hahaha!" As soon as Lin Dao's words came out, it attracted the laughter of the pirates.
The middle-aged man nodded to a young man beside him. The young man jumped from the side of a boat with a drop of about ten meters to the deck of Lindau.
"Please accept it." Lin Dao handed the golden ticket to the young man. The man looked at the gold ticket carefully and found that it was the gold ticket issued by the General Gold Bank of the Eastern Wu Empire. He looked up and nod to the middle-aged man.
"Okay, in that case, you will follow us!"
"Thank you very much!"
The young man looked around and found nothing suspicious. Then he jumped gently and returned to the pirate ship.
"Let's go!"
The so-called money-breaking disaster-free, whether it is a pirate or a mountain thief, is the same truth. Thieves also have a way, and this thing is immutable. From the matter in front of him, it is not difficult for Lin Dao to see that Gan Ning is indeed well governed, and there are many masters in his team. Just the young man who jumped down just now, Lin Dao found that this person was at least a martial artist at the level. A person who runs errands has this force, not to mention Gan Ning's cronies and Gan Ning.
Lin Dao felt that his move was wise, but he was also worried. Since Gan Ning is also in the water elf tribe, it means that it is inevitable to meet Gan Ning. Thinking of this, Lin Dao can't help but feel a little nervous.
Lin Dao let the four broken barracks soldiers stay outside, and he got off the deck.
"Big boss, how's it going outside?" When Ling Tong saw Lin Dao coming down, he hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, it's a disaster-free disaster. However, they will go to the Water Elf Tribe with us. Lin Dao paused and said, "Also, Gan Ning is also in the Water Elf Tribe. We are likely to be opposite him."
Ling Tong clenched his fist tightly and said, "I'm afraid he will do something. I met him when I was 15 years old, and that guy is no less than that!"
"What was Gan Ning's realm at that time?" Lin Dao asked.
"General." Ling Tong said fiercely.
"So many years have passed, what do you think of his current strength?" At this time, the trainer and Guan Cheng also came over, and they also turned their attention to Ling Tong. Obviously, what everyone is worried about is Gan Ning alone, and as for the others, they are not afraid. After all, Lin Dao has 20 broken barracks soldiers at the level of deputy generals, and the step trainer and Guan Cheng are not good roles. As for Lin Dao himself, it's like a portable explosive bag! Lin Dao's art of condensing fire is definitely a sharp weapon to deceive people!
"Well, he is just the peak of the general at most. You know, Wang's barrier is not so easy to overcome!"
"In this case, we still have the strength of a war. However, my idea is to try not to conflict with Gan Ning. Because the purpose of our trip is not for Gan Ning's head, but to find the Southern Ghost Fire.
"Hmm." Speaking of this, Ling Tong took a few deep breaths in a row to slowly extinguish the anger in his heart.
"Gun Cheng, you continue to be responsible for the helm. Ling Tong and the teacher followed me to the small building."
"Yes!"
After Guan Cheng left, Lin Dao took Ling Tong and the step trainer to the small building. Still in Lin Dao's lounge, Lin Dao gave in to the trainer and Ling Tong sat down one after another. At this time, he found that the trainer's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just that it feels a little strange to be called by you all of a sudden." When the step trainer heard the name "master", he felt a little happy and a little strange in his heart, because this name used to be called by Sun Quan. Of course, this is not to say that the step trainer still cares about Sun Quan, but that feeling is really a little weird. Because Lin Dao used to call a step trainer to solve it with "you", but now he is suddenly so close, and the step trainer feels that there is no wonder that there is a ghost.
"If you don't like me to change my name, let's call your wife in the future." Lin Dao's face soon showed a trace of pride.
"Old, wife? What's the weird name?" The trainer frowned slightly. She had never heard such a name before. "Forget it, you can still use the name just now."
The name wife was formed in the Song Dynasty, which naturally did not exist in the Three Kingdoms period.
"Hey hey." Lin Dao posed for victory, but Lin Dao's face soon became a little solemn. He looked at Ling Tong and whispered, "I know you are not feeling well. Obviously, your enemy is in front of you, but you have to swallow your anger. It feels like a stinky stone in a latrine. However, there is nothing we can do. Our strength is not good, and that's all we can do. Moreover, even if we really kill Gan Ning, the Water Elves will never let us go.
"Big boss, I know what you said, but the hatred of killing my father is not the same. I really can't swallow it!" Ling Tong said all his inner words. He knew that he could no longer hold back, otherwise something would happen. Because he has just broken through the realm of the general, and his mood is still unstable. Once there is any deviation, he is likely to go crazy. In this way, I'm afraid Ling Tong's life will be over.
It was only when Lin Dao thought of this that he asked Ling Tong to have a heart-to-heart talk. He knows that there are some things that must not be taken into mind.
"I used to listen to what others said about my uncle's murder, but now you tell me what happened again." Lin Dao suddenly thought of this. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although Ling Cao was killed by Gan Ning, Ling Cao was actually killed by Gan Ning, because it was Gan Ning's arrow, and it was not only Gan Ning's arrow. It should be said that it was several arrows. Although Ling was blamed on Gan Ning, in fact, Ling Cao's death was not caused by Gan Ning alone.
"Actually, speaking of which, my father did not die at the hands of Gan Ning. At that time, my father sent troops to encircle and suppress Gan Ning, and I followed him. During the melee, a few arrows were lost, one of which was the most serious. The arrow was shot by Gan Ning, and his arrow feathers were marked. Ling Tong's face changed and he was furious, "But even so, this revenge must be avenged!"
Lin Dao walked to Ling Tong, reached out and patted Ling Tong's shoulder and said, "This revenge is to be revenged, but not now. You should understand the meaning of my sentence. This revenge is that you have to avenge yourself, and the question is, do you have this ability now? No. You have just entered the realm of the general, and they have been in this realm for several years. You are not an opponent at all. What you have to do now is to put down your hatred, devote yourself to practice, and stabilize your mind. Believe in yourself, two years later, it will be the time for you to be Gan Ning!"
Ling Tong was silent. For a long time, he slowly raised his head and said, " boss, I understand."
"But the question is, what if Gan Ning wants to kill Ling Tong?" The step trainer raised the most fatal question at this time.
