Alien Knights

The two discussed in the soul space for about ten minutes, and then returned to the real world on the ship.

From when Todd closed his eyes to when he opened them again, in the eyes of others, the period of time was only a few seconds.

Smiling, he took out three silver moons from his bosom, and Todd put them into Aisha's hands: "You are a person valued by King Muxi, and His Majesty has asked me more than once to obey your arrangements."

Hearing Todd's words, Ayesha's eyes softened for the first time.

Then, she threw the coin at the wounded man's feet, and shouted in a low voice: "Take the money, roll off the deck and go to work!"

The pirate whose arm was broken only had the shining money in his eyes, and he no longer cared about the pain of his body. He moved his body, shouting and cursing amidst the laughter and looting of the crowd, while pressing down on the three silver moons with his body.

The first mate of Jinya cast a sideways glance at Ayisha, and the ice-cold face of the other side made him look away unconsciously.

The former gestured towards the people around him, and half of the onlookers dispersed immediately.

Todd silently recorded these faces in his heart, and returned to the cabin with Rachel.

After closing the hatch, Todd looked at Rachel and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

Rachel shook her head: "It's nothing. In the days of wandering, I encountered such things too many times."

Todd lowered his head, gave up continuing the topic, and asked instead, "What do you think about the gold-toothed first mate?"

"If there is one incident or thing that can be used as an introduction to provoke the conflict between the captain and the first mate, then this unstable factor on the ship can be ruled out logically."

"Introduction?" Todd touched his face and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Rachel hurriedly followed him, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"To confirm one thing."

The two tried not to attract the attention of others, and walked to the lowest cargo hold.

In the dim space, Todd searched inch by inch along the ceiling of the cargo hold.

Rachel followed his gaze and looked over her head suspiciously, except for the dirty stains, she couldn't see anything worth noting.

While looking up, Todd asked Rachel, "Where do you usually keep your money?"

"Most of them are kept in Muxi Bank, and a small part is kept with me."

Regarding the latter's answer, the former nodded and said: "That is the habit of the residents of Muxi City, but for Aisha, who is a pirate, the storage of property will definitely be different."

Rachel somewhat understood Todd's thoughts: "You mean..."

"As a reward for intelligence and a deposit for escort, I once gave Aisha a large sum of money. As a pirate, she can't trust Muxi Bank, so the money will definitely not stay in the city." Todd used the ability of "seeing through" to pass through the wooden boards on the cabin roof and look at the space above: "The Black Pearl has not stopped at any port in the past few days since it set sail. Naturally, Aisha has no chance to go ashore to bury the money. Then, there is only one possibility, the money should still stay on the ship. .”

Todd reached out his hand to remove some supplies in the cargo hold, and his eyes lit up when he looked at a ceiling: "Before boarding the ship, I asked someone to understand the structure of the Black Pearl's hull. The captain's cabin is diagonally above here, and the money..."

Todd tapped the wooden board above his head lightly with his hand, and there was an echo of the hollow sandwich.

He turned his head with a smile and said to Rachel, "Just like the old-fashioned way of hiding treasures, those two bags of money are placed in the dark compartment on the floor of the captain's cabin."

———————————————

Late the next night, Todd sat on the chair in the cabin, looked at the strange face in the bronze mirror, and sighed: "Although this face is more attractive now, I still prefer the original appearance."

Rachel held her chin, looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and said in a low voice: "The appearance is just a shape made of skin and flesh, and the heart is the scale that judges human beings."

"This sentence sounds like a famous quote from a famous person."

Rachel shook her head and said, "No, a friend of mine."

Todd put down the bronze mirror and looked back at the woman: "You once told me that there are really very few people you can call friends."

"That's right, it's a pity that he died..."

Todd was taken aback, not knowing what to say for a moment.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin.

Rachel looked at the wooden board under her feet and said in a low voice, "I don't know, did the first mate take the bait?"

"The news must have reached his ears. This evening, the group of people gathered together to discuss something." Todd slowly touched the outline of his face, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, Black Pearl will stop at the first supply point. In order to prevent the captain from transferring his belongings, tonight is the best time for them to do it."

Rachel nodded slightly: "There are some small hands and feet moving inside the wooden board, as long as they take away the money bag, Ayesha should be aware of it immediately."

Todd stretched his waist and yawned: "The only thing left to do is wait."

After another half hour, Todd was sitting in a chair drowsy, and when his eyelids were about to close, suddenly there was a burst of shouting and arguing under his feet.

Shocked, Todd stood up from his chair and looked at Rachel across the table. The same thought emerged in their minds—the fish was hooked.

When they dressed neatly, pushed open the cabin door, and walked up the gangway, the deck was already full of people, and the torches gathered light on the vast sea.

The first mate with golden teeth and a dozen of his men stood under the mast, holding two heavy money bags in their hands. Opposite them, on the tall rudder platform, Aisha, who was only wearing a corset and leather pants, held a dagger in one hand and a dagger in the other, the anger in her different pupils shone brightly in the dark night.

"First officer, what you have done has exceeded my tolerance!" Aisha raised the sword in her hand, and her ear-piercing roar pierced through the night on the sea.

Jin Ya patted the purse in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "Captain, we brothers sacrificed our blood and lives to help you. In the end, after you finished eating the meat, you refused to even give us a single bone!"

Aisha, whose whole body was filled with anger, began to turn ferocious: "I swear to Allah! I will hang a fishhook on the cat's tail whip, and tear your flesh and blood apart!!"

Ignoring the captain's threatening words, Jin Ya opened the mouth of a money bag in front of everyone, and it was full of silver coins, making everyone around him forget to breathe.

"Captain, why have you never mentioned to us that Muxi Kingdom gave you a generous reward?!" Jin Fang tightened his wallet again, and his words sounded full of confidence: "You never told us where the destination of this voyage is? In your eyes, we are just a group of slaves who make money for you!"

Looking at the pirate who was standing next to Aisha, with distrust and hesitation on his face, he gradually moved away from her. When there were only two or three people left at the end, Todd whispered to Rachel: "Be ready to strike at any time, remember, try not to be seen as alien!"

Rachel nodded calmly.

At this critical juncture, Aisha, who was in a dangerous situation, rolled her eyes, but her expression calmed down. She looked at the first mate and his subordinates, and suddenly asked a strange question: "You have two money bags in your hand, why did you only open one? And not the other?"

Gold Tooth froze.

The first purse opened contained Yinyue, while the second one contained Jin Xu!

His original idea was to gain the trust of most of the crew and kill the captain Aisha. After that, he pretended that the two purses were full of silver moons, and then distributed the silver moons to the crew to win their loyalty, and finally he could take the gold for himself.

Unexpectedly, Aisha actually saw through his plan in a short period of time, and defeated him.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of other pirates and the greedy gold teeth, he knew that he could not drag on any longer, and shouted at his cronies: "Whoever can remove the captain's head can take 10 silver moons from here!"

While the other pirates were still hesitating, the first mate's men attacked Aisha first.

These people who had been prepared for a long time, wearing leather armor and carrying weapons, rushed to the high platform of the steering wheel.

Ayisha bit the dagger in her mouth, untied the cable on the wooden railing with one hand, then grabbed the rope and kicked on the high platform with both feet, the whole person soared into the air and swung into the enemy. With the remaining momentum of the rope, her body accurately wiped a pirate's neck with a cold light on the dagger. Blood immediately splashed out from the wound in the enemy's throat and sprinkled on the deck.

Swinging to the front side of the hull, Aisha kicked on the rail of the mast, then swooped into the enemy's formation, and stabbed another pirate in the shoulder with her sword.

At this time, one of the chief mate's men ran to the rope roll of the mast and cut the cable with a knife.

Aisha, who lost the traction of the rope, had no object to rely on in mid-air, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Todd hastily pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted, "Do it!"

As the king of Muxi, he is not familiar with melee combat skills. Although he cuts the long sword in his hand into the shoulder blade of an enemy by virtue of his "metal skin", "regeneration" and "weakness", the sword body is stuck in the bone, but he will not be able to pull it out for a while.

On the contrary, it was the injured pirate who became fierce and slashed the scimitar in his hand towards the top of his head.

Rachel rushed forward, kicked the injured pirate's knee, and then flipped his wrist, a dagger accurately pierced the opponent's heart, helping Todd out of the siege.

Looking at the other side of the battlefield, Aisha got up and started a swimming fight with the enemy by using the obstacles on the deck.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Jin Ya was furious, took out a pocket hand crossbow from his bosom, and slowly aimed at Aisha who was not far away.

The crossbow string rang, and a 10cm long crossbow bolt got into Aisha's thigh.

Under the pain, the pirate captain could no longer stand and fell on the deck.

Gold Tooth was overjoyed when he saw this, he waved the weapon in his hand, and rushed towards Aisha, he was about to cut off the opponent's head.

boom!

A bang! Everyone on the deck was shocked.

Todd stood in the front, looked at the firecracker in Aisha's hand that was still smoking, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
