Chapter 395 Who do you think I am? Pull the airship over!

The sea of ​​clouds is vast, and the pirate sails on the black airship are fluttering.

The round eyepiece of the telescopic telescope reflected the Barracuda breaking through the sea of ​​clouds.

"Showing off in public...seeking death!"

Bang! Inside the airship, the shark man wearing a pirate hat angrily slapped the telescope shut. The scar on the front of the bridge of his triangular head twisted with his facial muscles, making him look particularly ferocious.

On the shark man's broad shoulders, a gorgeous macaw said anxiously:

"Quack! That's a big fish coming from Prague. Archduke Rudolf is protecting it. If it bites, we might be dragged into the water!"

"What are you afraid of? Don't we have anyone above us?" Shark Man said with a grin, "The boss is a big shot who can sit on the same level as Air Transport Officer Roland! Just be quick and don't let the boss clean up the mess!"

The macaw trembled,

"But I'm still worried... The airship is supposed to be escorted by griffins, but that airship was completely defenseless, as if it didn't need any!"

The shark man laughed and said, "That just proves that they are unlucky and have run into the muzzle of my gun, the shark king Jack!"

Jack is the name that the shark people gave themselves according to the naming method of humans. According to the naming method commonly used by the shark people and translated into human language, Jack should be called "Red Sea shark people, seal-loving, son of the third generation of Iron Teeth".

As a shark who yearns for human civilization, Jack is deeply dissatisfied with this straightforward way of naming, and gives himself a "fashionable" human name, of which he is very proud.

"Are you really not going to think about it again?"

The one-eyed Asian dragon who had been sitting silently in the corner of the airship cabin, wearing an eye patch, carrying a long sword on his back, folded his arms, and spoke:

"I have a feeling... there might be a five-ring hero on the opposite airship!"

To go out to plunder, one must have the confidence to plunder. The Argonian swordsman Hughes, born in the Great Desert, honed his swordsmanship to perfection. Later, he became an adventurer, but was defrauded of his entire fortune by a [fake adventure guild] run by believers of the Mist. He then joined a plundering group out of desperation.

Hughes possesses the strength of a five-ring hero, but he is introverted and hates socializing. The reason he obeys Sharkman Jack, who is much weaker than him, is because this can avoid unnecessary communication.

Sharkman Jack snorted coldly and said, "This is our first time going to the sea. It's rare that we have the qualifications to drive an airship alone. Of course, we have to do a big deal to get the boss's appreciation!"

Seeing that the two team members were still hesitating, Shark Jack became furious and shouted at them loudly.

"How could I be afraid? Who do you think I am?!"

Sharkman Jack's eyes widened with anger and he roared:

"Pull the airship over here!!"

…

“Have mercy!!!”

In the cabin of the airship, Sharkman Jack had a spear tip flashing with cold light on his neck. He was pissing his pants and crying, "I didn't know you were on this airship, and I rashly bumped into you... Your Excellency the Duke, the Chosen One, the great Mr. Yeats Bronty... I have old people and young children to take care of, please forgive me!"

Ye Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the tip of Gayeborg's gun moved an inch closer to the shark man's neck. He threatened: "Tell me, what is your purpose, and who ordered you to do it!"

"No one ordered me to do that. I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment and offended you. I, I deserve to die!" Shark Man Jack cried, "If I had known that you were on this airship, I would not have dared to approach you even if I had ten times the courage!"

"You don't want to tell me, right?" Ye Zhi deliberately tested her. "Then I'll roast this macaw first!"

The macaw tied to the wooden beam screamed, "Help! Help! I'm not tasty, not at all!"

Diamond Tooth comforted him, "Relax, buddy. With Yeats's cooking skills, even if you don't taste good, you'll be delicious after roasting."

The macaw was stunned, its eyes quickly dimmed, and then it continued to struggle, shouting:

"Quack! Let me go!"

The Asian dragon Hughes, who was also tied to the side, sighed heavily and said in a muffled voice:

"Indeed, no one ordered us, Your Excellency, Lord Honeysuckle. This is our first time to carry out a mission, and then we encountered your Excellency's group... If you have any other questions, just tell us directly. We will tell you everything we know."

Hughes was filled with regret and distress.

Damn it, who would have thought that the first time I went out to do business, I would run into such a big shot!

The iconic silver hair, the Honeysuckle family crest on his robe, and the highly recognizable handsome appearance... these three things together are enough to prove the identity of the man in front of him. He is none other than the famous Honeysuckle Duke!

How could such a person come to the empire for no reason? We actually ran into him!

Thinking about the scene when the airships collided just now and before his group could take any action, the other side boarded the ship first, rushed into the cockpit using flying skills, and ended the battle in no time, Hughes' heart was filled with intense fear and shock.

He was clearly a five-ring hero, and a powerful figure that could not be underestimated in the desert. However, facing the Duke of Honeysuckle and his companions, he did not even have the strength to resist. It was simply the powerlessness of a mortal facing a god! Six rings... The passengers in this airship were all six-ring masters. Even the seemingly weak ponytail girl exuded a terrifying aura like a dragon!

It was outrageous! Hughes' forehead swelled and his brain was buzzing. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky to have been chosen by God!

First time? Ye Zhi remained calm and secretly used [Thousand Illusions Eyes] to observe the expressions of the three people, inferring that they were most likely not lying.

As a trickster, although he cannot directly tell whether someone is lying, he can judge the truthfulness of the words by observing the other person's reaction, subtle expressions, and movements. Although there are always times when he fails, overall, the accuracy of his judgment is very high.

"Who is your leader?" Yeats looked at the three of them.

Hughes cast his eyes on the servile Sharkman Jack, who laughed dryly and said, "It's me, Sharkman King Jack."

"What a ridiculous name Wang Jack!"

Ye Zhi said unhappily: "In my opinion, it would be better if you were called Shark Die!"

The robbery actually happened to me. The key point was that there was only one five-ring hero on the airship. He was extremely poor and the materials in his storage ring were not even worthy of Mammon's attention.

Who are you looking down on? In the past six months, I have fought against apostles, apocalypse knights, and emperor-level monsters... This is the first time I have encountered an opponent of this level!

"Uh..." Jack hesitated, wondering whether to correct the other party, but he didn't dare to say anything. He said timidly, "Thank you for the name, Duke. I will change it when I go back..."

Shark withering? Jack thought to himself, shark, withering wind... Shark withering? What a cool name! As expected of the art god, he has a high cultural quality, and the names he came up with are much better than the ones I racked my brains to think of! "Don't interrupt, where did you get this airship? Who supports you?" Yeats asked.

The macaw saw that he was about to be put on the grill, so he made up his mind and shouted with his neck stretched out:

"Jack won't tell! In our line of work, loyalty is everything!"

Jack immediately said, "It was Ms. Black Rose from the Thieves Guild! She funded our airship and specifically ordered us to hijack the airship from Prague City, and specifically asked for the puppets made in Prague City!"

The macaw looked at Jack in shock, his eyes dumbfounded, as if saying, Jack, you actually said that just like that!

Jack immediately glared back at the macaw.

Don’t suffer a loss in front of you, this is the life creed of me, “Shark King” Jack!

Ye Zhi turned the tip of his gun and pointed it at the silent one-eyed lizard, and asked, "Is what he said true?"

The Argonian swordsman Hughes was speechless and nodded silently.

Ye Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he thought secretly.

Ms. Black Rose, a leader of the Thieves Guild, transformed the original "Brotherhood of Thieves" into an "underground organization" that only obeys her orders. Her organization is deeply rooted in the Kingdom of Roland and she can be called the underground queen of Roland.

Her true identity has not yet been revealed by the authorities and there are many different opinions.

Some people have inferred that Ms. Black Rose is actually the female vest of the Sun King "Louis" based on her love of art and elegant manners, but this inference has not been confirmed in the game version.

This Lady Black Rose had a good reputation. After she took down the previous bandit leader and took power, she immediately began to vigorously fight against drugs. The lost profits were mainly made up by "robbing the rich to help the poor", "gangsters eating gangsters" and "smuggling luxury goods".

Magic puppets are considered luxury goods even in Prague. They are very popular among Roland nobles and wealthy people. However, the tariffs are very high, and the smuggling of magic puppets has become a considerable source of profit for the Thieves Guild.

Hildreth seemed to be thinking about something, and sent a message to Yeats:

"So, the 'Franz Chamber of Commerce airship robbery' that shocked Prague a few days ago is also related to Ms. Black Rose and the Thieves Guild."

Ye Zhi replied: "This airship should be the one that was hijacked by the Franz Chamber of Commerce... But I can't understand why Black Rose would let such an expensive airship be piloted by a fool, and not send his men to protect it."

Franz Chamber of Commerce is the most famous chamber of commerce in Prague. It is a large and powerful company with puppets and golems as its main business.

"Perhaps she understood that the Franz airship was too big a target and had to be dealt with as soon as possible, so she deliberately chose a ghost to die?" Hilde speculated.

Ye Zhi frowned slightly, looked at the Asian dragon Hughes, and said:

"How did your boss, this shark man, get in touch with the Thieves Guild?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Sharkman Jack quickly said: "Of course it's because I have extraordinary skills..."

Ye Zhi said coldly: "I didn't ask you."

The aura of a master came towards him, and Jack was horrified and lowered his head in silence.

Hughes sighed and said, "From what I know, Jack was appreciated by Ms. Black Rose and even got the exact location of the airship..."

From Hughes, Yeats learned that Jack admired human culture and had learned the human ability to speak eloquently and make grandiose speeches, and that he himself did have some skills in flying airships and had accidentally received an unsolicited letter from the Thieves Guild.

The letter was accompanied by a map showing the exact location of Franz's airship and expressing the intention to cooperate.

Jack led the team and they found the airship. He was so encouraged that he decided to do something big to repay the Thieves Guild. However, as soon as he took off, he met Yeats and his group.

"We are only after money, we have never killed anyone, and we haven't gotten any money!" The macaw screamed, "Please spare my life! I don't want to be eaten!"

This is a four-ring king-level magical pet. Due to its racial talent, it can speak human language.

Hildreth thought it was noisy and looked cold, so he chopped the back of the macaw's neck with his hand knife, and the latter immediately fell into a baby-like sleep.

Yeats was thoughtful.

These three idiots drove the airship into the trap, which provided an excuse for closing the "Airship Robbery Case".

Although the Franz Chamber of Commerce knew that it was the Thieves Guild who did it, it was impossible for them to really take action against the Thieves Guild because of the disparity in strength.

On the surface, both the people and the nobles need an explanation.

The Thieves Guild took a step back and voluntarily returned the airship. The three thieves who were driving the airship became the most suitable candidates to take the blame.

In this case, the reason why Ms. Black Rose contacted the three of them was not because of appreciation, but because she saw their ignorance.

Suddenly, Yeats realized that he was involved in the feud between the Thieves Guild and the Franz Chamber of Commerce.

But there is no reason to spit out the meat that has been served to your door.

"I'll take this airship." Ye Zhi thought to himself, "If the Franz Chamber of Commerce really wants to seek revenge, it will only find the Thieves Guild."

As for the Thieves Guild...Ye Zhi remembered that there was a demonic ritual object hidden in the Thieves Guild.

Thinking of this, Yeats looked at Jack deeply, as if he wanted to memorize his appearance in his mind.

"This relationship between Sharkman Jack and the Thieves Guild...may be the key to my infiltration!" Ye Zhi thought.

This look made Jack even more panicked, and he said anxiously: "You are a magnanimous person. Considering that we are first-time offenders, please... show mercy!!"

Although beheading Jack is the only way to eliminate future troubles, Yeats has confirmed through polygraph that this guy has never killed anyone. Besides, the situation about Ms. Black Rose is also an important clue.

Mr. Yeats was kind-hearted and cut the ropes on Jack with a wave of his hand.

Before Jack could say thank you, he found that his soul realm had been suppressed by a master-level will.

"Put on your parachutes and jump out of the airship. Your life or death will be left to fate."

Ye Zhi said calmly, "Also, do not contact the Thieves Guild again... This is for your own good."

A chill swept through Jack's body, and then, the relief of surviving the disaster overwhelmed everything. The shark man knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you for your kindness, Duke... I will definitely repay you if I have the chance!"

Jack held the unconscious Macaw in his arms, put on the parachute that was already in the airship, opened the hatch, and a strong wind rushed in. He turned around and shouted:

"Hughes, why don't you thank the Duke quickly!"

Hughes was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after Jack's deliberate reminder, and bowed his head deeply and said:

"We will remember your words... and never get involved with the Thieves Guild again!"

Yeats nodded slightly and waved his hand, motioning Hughes to put on the parachute as well.

Facing the howling wind, Jack raised his voice and said loudly:

"If you jump, I'll jump too!!"

Hughes: "Open your arms, three, two, one, jump!!"

Witness the two figures disappear in the sea of ​​clouds.

Ye Zhi stroked his chin and murmured:

"This airship is a pleasant surprise, but the true identity of Ms. Black Rose is worth keeping an eye on..."

"Mammon!" Yeats asked, "Can this airship support you in using the Golden Rule?"

The black cat smacked his lips and said, "It's much worse than your Barracuda... Never mind, just make do with it. It'll be enough for a while."

"You go back to the Barracuda first and let me put this airship into the ring!" said Mammon.

The sky was clear and blue, and two relatively stationary airships floated in the wind. Then one of the airships was shrouded in golden magic and suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"This is the fortune brought by Mammon." Yeats sighed as he stood in the cabin of the Barracuda, "Someone actually sent an airship to our door for no reason!"

Zuanya muttered, "While it brings fortune, it also brings disaster... Of course, this might still be a good thing!"
