Chapter 258 Everyone, are you interested in working with me?

Lighthouse keeper...Chen Qi blinked.

Chen Qi was surprised at first, but then he was filled with doubts.

The lighthouse keeper is an extremely important position. Logically speaking, the position of lighthouse keeper of the Poseidon Pirates will never be given to an outsider of unknown origin.

However, his current occupation is a lamplight keeper. Recently, many lamplight keepers have been killed by sea beasts, so lamplight keepers have become a rare occupation.

Whether it is a large ship or a lighthouse, a lighthouse keeper is urgently needed.

After he became the Lighthouse Keeper, the White Tower hunters' efforts to win him over increased significantly, and from time to time there would be hunter groups seeking his joining.

Want to choose me to be a lighthouse keeper... Chen Qi's heart was filled with turbulence.

Poseidon Island may seem gentle at the moment, but in fact, the dark side of the Poseidon Pirates begins the moment you join them.

It is an extremely dangerous thing to go from being a hunter to becoming a member of the Poseidon Pirates.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked:

"Captain Sea Snake, can you be more specific? Based on my observation, the lighthouse on Poseidon Island doesn't seem to need a new lighthouse keeper."

"Yes, the place you need to guard--"

Captain Sea Snake blurted out excitedly, but he stopped abruptly halfway through, revealing a mysterious smile:

“Brother, this small place is not suitable for discussing big things. Please follow me. My boss, Father Serpent, will receive you personally.”

Snake Father...Chen Qi followed the Sea Snake Captain and walked towards the ship on the seashore.

…

…

Poseidon Island, Pier.

Captain Sea Snake led Chen Qi away from here and walked along the newly repaired dock to a large green ship.

What a nice ship... Chen Qi raised his head and admired the ship in front of him.

This is a heavy ship with a peculiar shape. Its hull is painted in dark dark green. It seems to be the most secret undercurrent in the deep sea, shuttling silently between the waves.

The hull is carved with intricate snake totems, and on the bow there is a bronze python head.

And in the wind, the flag of the Goddess of the Sea fluttered high.

Chen Qi followed Captain Sea Snake and arrived on the deck.

On the deck, there were many sailors and crew members, but these sailors were not as noisy and busy as they should be. They just looked at Chen Qi quietly like a group of quiet snakes.

Captain Sea Snake pushed open the door and walked into the captain's room.

There were a few dim oil lamps hanging in the captain's room, illuminating the dark cabin.

In the center of the cabin, there sat a tall man wearing a snake-patterned cloak.

This person is the captain of the Poseidon Pirates, who is in charge of secret events, Snake Father!

Chen Qi had heard of him when he was on Poseidon Island. He was an old cadre on Poseidon Island. He often covered his whole body with a cloak and liked to secretly put snakes into other people's clothes.

At the same time, he is also a threat and executioner to the Poseidon Pirates. According to rumors, many hunters have been caught by him because of their family's weaknesses and have been forced to become his gloves.

The snake father sat upright on a high-backed wooden chair and touched the patterned python in his hand:

"Hello, Lightkeeper."

Chen Qi touched his chin, stretched out his hand and said:

"Hello, Snake Father, what's up?"

The snake father drank a cup of black tea, slowly stuck out his forked tongue, and said with a hint of temptation in his tone:

"Lightkeeper, I won't waste my words. I have a very good opportunity here. It is a great opportunity for you to become a cadre of the Sea God Pirates and turn your fate around!"

The snake father's tone was a little charming. A green-scaled sea snake slowly crawled over Chen Qi's thigh, then wrapped around Chen Qi's waist, climbed onto Chen Qi's shoulder, and spit out a bright red tongue towards Chen Qi...

The snake father crossed his hands and said coldly:

"Lightkeeper, my little one, seems to like you very much..."

What a scary snake, but it does like me... Chen Qi thought about it, then held the sea snake's chin with his hand and said:

"Snake Father, please speak up! I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Interesting! How dare you talk to me like that! The snake-like eyes of the snake father suddenly became hot:

"It's like this, Lantern Keeper. Under the command of our Poseidon Pirates, there is an extremely important mysterious island. On that island, we are conducting an unprecedented large-scale excavation."

Big dig...Chen Qi was secretly shocked.

Could it be that what the other party was talking about was the excavation of the Deep Blue Fire?

The other party actually came to me on his own initiative!

This is the advantage of a scarce profession... Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh that in the Xiaoyue era, the profession of lantern keeper was so popular.

Then, the snake father continued:

"However, this island is located deep in the Sea of ​​Natural Disasters. The island is surrounded by terrifying sea beasts, indescribable darkness, and invisible fog from the sky. Under the Laughing Moon, without the protection of the lighthouse, all work on the island cannot be carried out."

"A powerful lighthouse keeper is extremely important to the work of the island, but unfortunately, our lighthouse keeper died at the hands of foreign enemies. I was ordered by the archbishop to come to Poseidon Island to find a suitable lighthouse keeper."

Sea of ​​natural disasters! Chen Qi's pupils shrank.

Combined with the information he had obtained before, the island the other party was talking about was most likely the large island where the Deep Blue Fire was mined!!

It really is the island where the Deep Blue Fire is!

Chen Qi paced back and forth, stroking his chin, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his expression:

"Father Snake, it is not an easy task to travel from Poseidon Island to the depths of the Sea of ​​Disaster. And according to your description, it is not an easy job."

The snake father touched the little snake in his hand:

"We have our own way to reach the depths of the Sea of ​​Disaster. As for the reward..."

The snake father snapped his fingers:

"Lightkeeper, if you help us complete this important task, from now on, we will ignore your past. From now on, you will be a new cadre of our Poseidon Pirates. Moreover, we will not be stingy with resources and train you to become a transcendent as powerful as Captain Hagrid."

"this……"

Chen Qi held his chin with one hand and hesitated for a moment.

First, Chen Qi measured the strength of the Snake Father in front of him, the third-level spiritual force field. Although the Snake Father was the boss of the Sea Snake Captain, in terms of strength, he was only slightly stronger than the Sea Snake Captain.

If he agreed to the other party, he could easily, as a 'friendly' unit, penetrate into the plan of the Poseidon Pirates' 'Deep Blue Fire'.

But are things really that easy?

Chen Qi closed his eyes and fell into thought.

Needless to say, with such a major plan, will the other party really not do anything to me?

You must know that the fate of every cadre of the Poseidon Pirates is essentially firmly controlled by the Archbishop of the Poseidon Pirates.

Snake Father has a very bad reputation. If Chen Qi follows him out alone, the other party is very likely to attack him.

It's not safe to follow the other party out...

Chen Qi's thoughts were flying, and he came up with a lot of possibilities.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied:

"Mr. Snake Father, can you allow me to think about it for a while and then reply tonight?"

The snake father clasped his hands together, as if staring at a prey, and said in a slightly low voice:

"No problem, Hunter, we'll give you this time, but I hope you won't break your promise."

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Chen Qi gently stroked the head of the green-scaled sea snake:

"See you tonight, little snake."

After saying that, Chen Qi waved his hand, slammed the door shut, and left like the wind.

And at the moment Chen Qi closed the door, Snake Father clenched his fists and let out a low growl like a wild beast.

"ah--"

After a moment, the snake father broke the silence and said:

"What an rude fellow! He doesn't even know how to close the door gently."

Captain Sea Snake said with a smile:

"Snake Father, he is a very talented and powerful hunter, so it is normal for him to be crazy. In this mission, Snake Father, you'd better show some respect to him..."

"respect?"

The snake father sneered.

He, a veteran cadre of the Poseidon Pirates, is expected to respect a brat of unknown origin?

Captain Sea Snake rubbed his hands:

"Snake Father, I am just suggesting it. I always feel that if you anger him, the result may be very bad. I even recommend that you try to get his consent for the 'initiation ceremony' of our Poseidon Pirates..."

The snake father laughed contemptuously:

"Agree? If I need to get the consent of every one of my subordinates before they become my subordinates, and then go through a ceremony, then I would definitely not be able to achieve my current position..."

“…”

Captain Sea Snake frowned and said nothing. The snake father was an old man in the Poseidon Pirates and was extremely stubborn.

After all, he was just a junior in charge of patrols and was not even qualified to participate in the great plan of 'Deep Blue Fire'.

"Besides, my lovely little sea snake really wants to eat him, how can I refuse..."

The snake father stretched out his finger. His greedy little sea snake had not actively entangled a human being in a long time.

"Snake Father, may the goddess of the sea bless you to have a smooth journey..."

Captain Sea Snake shook his head, said no more, and left.

…

…

Pier, bedroom.

Chen Qi returned to the bedroom, came to the captain's room, and unfolded the map of the Ice Demon Pirates.

Full of murderous intent... Chen Qi carefully recalled the conversation in the captain's room just now, as well as the eyes of the Snake Father hidden under his cloak, like they were hunting prey.

It had been a long time since he had been targeted by such pure hunting.

There is no doubt that he was targeted by the Snake Father, and as one of the few lighthouse keepers on Poseidon Island, the other party would never let him go.

He has to be the lighthouse keeper even if he doesn't want to.

Bad news, he's been targeted.

Good news, Chen Qi has also set his sights on him.

When Chen Qi was leaving, he detected a wave of Snake Father's ships. On the ships, there was only Snake Father and a third-level transcendent.

This strength configuration can only be considered average above the sea.

As long as they reach the sea, Chen Qi will be able to suppress the two of them.

However, we still have to be prepared for the worst... Chen Qi fell into deep thought.

Ultimately, he still has too little information.

The target of this operation is the Deep Blue Fire. Fighting alone is too dangerous.

Wait...Chen Qi suddenly remembered a team in white hunter uniforms.

The White Tower Hunter's goal coincides with his.

If we can get them to join our team, it will be easy to capture the Snake Father's transport ship.

This team will never let go of such a precious opportunity easily.

They are pretty good tools... Chen Qi thought secretly, put away the map, walked out of the captain's room, strode forward, and walked towards a ship with a white book tower flag flying.

…

…

White Tower Ship, Library Meeting Room.

For most White Tower hunters, a cabin with a library atmosphere is their favorite resting place.

At this moment, the seven hunters of the White Tower were all in the library, doing their own things.

At this moment, Melanie, holding a whip and wearing the uniform of the White Tower Navy, asked curiously:

"Elor, do you think that my appearance makes me look like someone from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom who likes to whip people?"

Melanie said as she whipped the whip in the air.

Glasses Hunter Ai Luoer sat at the desk, carefully reading an economics book:

"Captain Melanie, please don't bother me. After this year's mission is over, I still have to take the exam for the Royal University of Beiguo to study for a bachelor's degree, as well as a master's degree in economics. Please don't bother me! I want to go ashore!"

"I want to go ashore!"

The glasses hunter emphasized again.

“…”

Melanie held the whip, looking sad:

"I'm doing this for the future of our team. Believe me, if we can persuade that brother of the Lighthouse Keeper to rebel, with his profession as a Lighthouse Keeper and his clean background, we can definitely infiltrate the Poseidon Pirates!

By then, both the witch's relics and the deep blue fire will be ours!

You're right, right? My lovely little mechanic Marie."

The female mechanic of the White Tower, Ma Li, frowned:

“Yes, if we can get him to join us, I think our work will be much easier. After all, the Poseidon Pirates are too wary of us.

But, Sister Melanie, are you really going to seduce him with this whip outfit?"

Melanie smiled:

"Of course not. I'm not that kind of person. I just want to find someone to experience this feeling so that we can have something in common. Do any of you want to be whipped by me?"

“…”

You just want to beat us, find a reason... The female mechanic of the White Tower, Mary, quickly retreated to the corner:

"Sister Melanie..."

"Hey! Let me give it a try. This is all for work..."

Melanie walked over grimly, whip in hand.

"Captain Melanie, you are only ruining the reputation of our White Tower hunters by doing this!"

At this moment, the female mechanic of the White Tower hurriedly covered her buttocks.

"This is all for the mission. Besides, everyone here is ours, there are no outsiders..."

Melanie pressed on, whipping him hard with the whip!

Bang!

Bang!

At this moment, accompanied by Melanie's whipping, a ray of sunlight shone into their library.

The library door was flung open.

Who is it? Melanie, holding the whip, turned around and looked at the 'outsider' behind him.

“…”

Whip? Melanie is teaching her subordinates a lesson? Hiss, are the White Tower hunters also playing tricks like this? Chen Qi blinked.

Why did this guy come here suddenly? Melanie broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn, my perfect, calm, incredibly gentle, strong sister image…Melanie didn’t know what to say.

"I understand that you have a lot of pressure from studying and tasks..."

Chen Qi coughed twice, walked straight to the large conference table in the cabin, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Melanie's realization could not help but follow the other party.

Why is this person so skilled at pouring tea?

Melanie put away the whip, her face flushed.

This is obviously their home, but why is the other party so skilled?

Chen Qi smiled and said:

"Everyone, I'm sorry, because the situation was so urgent, I was a little reckless."

"An emergency?"

Melanie looked curious.

Chen Qi took a sip of hot tea:

"It's like this. I just met the Snake Father recently and got a piece of important news, which is the mining site of the Deep Blue Fire..."

Deep Blue Fire!!

At this moment, everyone in the White Tower Federation was shocked. Even the bespectacled hunter Airol, who was concentrating on passing the postgraduate entrance examination, couldn't help but look up.

This seemingly ordinary hunter took the initiative to find the White Tower Hunters and mentioned the matter of the Deep Blue Fire.

In their eyes, Chen Qi was just an ordinary hunter who was a bit stubborn.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and got straight to the point:

"So, everyone, are you interested in taking over the mining site of Deep Blue Fire?"

Mining site...Everyone was stunned for a moment.

What's going on? Why does this man seem to know more than the hunters in the White Tower?

Why would the other party know that they were very interested in the Deep Blue Fire?

Why does it feel like the other party treats them as ordinary mercenaries?

Why were they, who were supposed to incite Chen Qi to rebel, instead incited to rebel?

All these questions made the seven White Tower hunters put down the books in their hands and look at Chen Qi with confused faces.

Bang!

Did I not express myself clearly enough... Chen Qi slapped the table:

"In short, everyone, are you interested in fighting with me?!"
