Chapter 700 67. The Last Pioneer and the Last Pioneer
"Wow, it's so lively here. Are they holding some lively celebration? Why are there so many people on the street?"
Harry, who liked the bridesmaid dress so much that she had no intention of taking it off, held Mason's shoulders and stood on the top of a mountain in a strange world, using the telescope in her hand to look at the seemingly prosperous city below.
She shook her head and asked Mason, who was looking at his watch beside her. The captain said without raising his head:
"Did you not see the banners they held during the parade? They are asking the leaders of this world to join our integration plan in order to gain long-term stability and hope.
It seems that the results of public opinion propaganda are not bad. After the disappearance of the Stars Club, the subjective initiative of the original members of the Stars Club has been greatly strengthened.
Under their propaganda, the foundation of the Council's rule in the Garden World began to collapse.
As expected.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, even the most indestructible thing will have cracks. ”
"Of course, it's also possible that you, sweetheart, killed Old A and frightened those noble directors."
Quinn, who was squeezed into Mason's arms, yawned and said:
"The leaders are all panic-stricken. How can we expect them to have the mind to deal with daily affairs? When Hallie and I were eating the wedding cake just now, I heard the old Green Goblin proudly said to Sister Ka, there are already a lot of vacillations. guys secretly sent him messages, and he planned to keep those guys in the dark before they made bad requests.
The Council's collapse may soon be imminent.
For example, if our territory expands further during the next impact, they will collapse internally without even starting a war. ”
"Well, that's most likely the case."
Mason nodded and didn't say much on this topic. Instead, he kept comparing the star map in his hand, which was left behind when Black Strange sent them to the garden world closest to the Council's base camp world.
According to the star map, the place where these three people are currently located is nearly three hundred planes away from the world of Gotham, as if they have come from one end of a chaotic parallel world system to the other.
The distance was so far that the cross-world communication set up by Barbara for Team K could not get a single signal at all.
"Then what should we do next?"
Harry took a look at the crowd's parade and found it boring. Mainly because he didn't see anyone booing or fighting in the parade. Why are people in this Garden World even protesting so peacefully?
Phew, boring.
She put away the colorfully painted telescope, sat on Mason's lap again, pushed Quinn away arrogantly, leaned on the other side of Mason's neck, blew into her fiancé's neck, and said ：
"Should we wait here for someone to pick us up? Or should we slip through the eye of time and space that was blown up by the little sweetheart in the sky?"
"You can't get through it."
Quinn snorted, pointed at the Eye of Time and Space in the sky, whose color was obviously different from other worlds, and said to idiot Harley:
"Didn't you hear what Hei Qiqi said just now? This place is separated from the space of the world we are going to. They have sealed off their base camp and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Ha, a bunch of cowards."
Harley curled her lips rather disdainfully.
She didn't really care where she was going or where she was now, she was happy as long as she was with Mason.
But just when the cutie winked and planned to tease Mr. K again, Mason suddenly stood up and almost threw Quinn in his arms and Harley in his lap.
The captain took out a compass, took a look at the direction, and said to the two little cuties who were getting up with three dogs behind him:
"Let's go, the people to pick us up are here."
"So who is it? So mysterious."
Harley complained, boarded the shuttle that transformed from the Möbius chair parked on the cliff behind, and quickly crossed this land that was completely different from the natural environment and the earth at several times the speed of sound. After traveling through several cities Arriving at the destination sea area, they soon saw a strange ship in the blue water.
It looks like a medieval merchant ship, but the skull and crossbones flag hanging on it represents its identity.
"Wow, a shabby pirate ship that ran out of nowhere! It's so cool!"
Harley cheered.
Although she still didn't understand how this old-looking and cold wooden ship could carry the three of them across the world, she was still full of energy when the Mobius chair completed its transformation in the air and landed on the deck. Mitsuru jumped out and tried to catch a pirate parrot flying through the air.
Quinn looked at the busy sailors around her with vigilance. She could feel that although these guys had entities, they were definitely not normal beings. The cold breath from their bodies meant that they might be some kind of strange undead?
Harley and Quinn didn't recognize the ship, which was normal.
Because when Team K met the captain, Harley was still living a nine-to-five life as a doctor in Arkham Asylum. At that time, she had not completely gone crazy, and naturally she had not met the love of her life.
But Mason is actually quite familiar with this ship. It has the most classic pirate ship shape and is very similar to the internal structure of the Flying Dutchman.
"Hey, old J!"
Mason said hello to the old man on the deck who was sitting on a beach chair at the bow of the boat, grabbing a fishing rod and fishing.
This unique title made Harley and Quinn's eyes widen. The sweetheart was Old K, Ciri was Old Q, and the pirate captain in front of him, although he was very old but still handsome, was called Old J?
So, is this guy also a member of the Quint Club?
"It's really hard for a great hero like you to still remember me, a poor old pirate. I've obviously tried very hard to reduce my presence."
Old J stood up and threw away the fishing rod, picked up his black captain's hat from the side and put it on his head, stepped forward and hugged Mason, then looked at the cuties beside Mason, then turned to the captain and said:
"It matches you very well, especially the little girl in red.
Look at this active mind and unfettered free soul, just the right amount of craziness and enough strength to make her definitely have the potential to become the best female pirate.
It's a pity that she was born a few hundred years late, otherwise she would have had a place in the Age of Discovery. ”
"Hey, you have a good eye for people!"
Harley winked and said:
"I heard that my ancestors were sailors, so I also think that I have the genes to become an adventurer, but you haven't introduced yourself yet, grandpa.
Who are you?
Why does your face look so familiar? I seem to have seen you somewhere! ”
"This is Jack Sparrow's father, the custodian of the Pirate Code. In theory, all pirate kings must obey his orders, and even the pirate king must respect him."
Mason took the initiative to reveal Old J's identity to Harley and Quinn. He stamped his feet again, pointed to the ship under his feet and said:
"This ship is called the Bard. It is the legendary ship of the Pirate King of Madagascar and the most famous ghost ship in the Caribbean era."
"Ha, Jack's dad! No wonder he looks so familiar."
Harley exclaimed and said:
"Will Jack be as handsome as you when he gets old?
I couldn't see it, that guy was almost exhausted by the wine and sex. I saw him trying to sneak out to play with Charles a few days ago, but Angelina pinned him to the ground and beat him. ”
"Look at how well this little girl talks. She can even praise people just right."
Old J, who was praised for his handsomeness, laughed and patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"Being able to marry her is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. You must cherish it. But looking at the way you are in such a hurry, you probably don't have time to enjoy the wonderful ocean of this wonderful world with me.
Come on, go to the captain's cabin.
I'll send you there right now. ”
"But how to get there?"
Quinn looked at the tattered ghost ship at his feet, trying to outline the truth in his mind.
Maybe the ship's shabby appearance is just a disguise, and there is a very advanced crossing device hidden inside, or maybe it has some kind of mysterious magic that can carry them to open a rotating light curtain or something to travel to another world.
But after observing for several minutes, Quinn had to put down her fantasy, because her foot got stuck in the crack in the deck, and a big hole opened in the rusted wooden board, revealing the head of the undead sailor who was rubbing his butt on the deck below. Harley confirms that this is a decayed ghost ship!
It wasn't the super magical thing she imagined.
Facing Quinn's question, Old J showed a mysterious pirate smile and said:
"Whether a ship is powerful or not depends not only on its own factors, but also on who is its captain. Little girl, don't be in a hurry to despise my ship.
You'll soon see the magic of it. ”
“Actually, it’s Lao J’s own ability as a ‘pirate’ concept.”
Mason held Quinn's slender waist and explained to her:
"He is a supernatural being, a manifestation of what all pirates in his world go through in this profession.
Although he does not possess divinity, due to some unique reasons, he has the ability to travel freely in any world that has an ocean and where the pirate profession was born.
Because of this, Old J was chosen by Old A to be the ‘messenger’ of the Quint Society.
But I think this guy was actually our guy from the beginning. ”
"Oh."
Quinn nodded, but Harley reacted next to her. The little cutie tilted her head and poked her cheek and asked:
"Then if Old Mr. J can freely travel through the oceans of all worlds, then why didn't you call him when you and Shirley stepped into Old A's trap, little sweetheart?"
"Because old J has little fighting ability, and old A was not dead at that time, I have to prevent him from being retaliated against."
Mason shrugged, and as he walked into the captain's cabin of the ship, which was full of the smell of decay, he explained:
"Of course, you can also regard Old J as the last plan I left for myself. If the countermeasure plan against Madeleine fails, I will call Old J for help."
"Don't brag me so much, I'm just a messenger. With how hard Old A blocked that world that day, I would have to pay a heavy price if I wanted to bring you out.
Just like No. 3.
He lost his life there, but he is actually a pretty good person. When you were busy saving the universe, I collaborated with him several times.
He was a man with his own moral principles, but it was a pity that he met unkind people and took the wrong path. ”
Captain Edward Teague shook his head, holding a rusted compass in the captain's cabin.
As the pointer on it swung, the "Bard" suspended on the ocean began to sink into the seawater with vibrations. The sailors on the deck also quickly turned back to a dark green color when they came into contact with the seawater. The whole ship only shows its true form underwater.
The pale tattered sails and the broken deck covered with barnacles made it look gloomy. The water flow continuously washed through the broken hull but could not stop it from accelerating underwater.
Mason is a waterman, so in this environment it feels like he is at home, but Harley and Quinn were forced to wear breathing masks and the three dogs also put on special respirators so that they could not be affected underwater. .
After advancing underwater for several minutes, Mason keenly felt the changes in the water. Although it was still composed of seawater, he could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere of the world.
He realizes that the ship is entering another world in a supernatural and supernatural way.
This is Lao J's unique ability in effect.
During the transition between the world, he asked Old J in the water:
"Old A is dead, and Quint will be finished. Where are you going to go? Although Jack doesn't say it, I know that he is actually worried about you."
"That little bastard is worried! He is just worried that I will die inexplicably and cannot leave him my treasure maps in the oceans of various planes."
Edward Sr. snorted, not hiding his dislike for his only son.
While controlling the compass in his hand to guide the direction, he said to Mason:
"I don't plan to settle down yet. The collapse of the Quint Society has given me freedom again, and this thing is the most precious thing for an old ghost who is loyal to the pirate cause.
I plan to explore the oceans of each plane as much as possible before the epoch changes, loot the treasures and hide them in different places.
When I get tired of living like this, I will naturally leave the treasure map to Jack.
But I feel something very unique from you. Do you carry a spirit body with you? ”
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Mason took off the hanging soul stone from his neck and said to Old J:
"This is the residence of the souls of Shili's parents. They were too weak after being tortured by the devil, so they could only rest in it."
"Leave them with me."
Old Edward touched the soul stone, rubbed his chin and said:
"My ghost ship is very suitable for the resurrection of these weak spirits, and I can feel that they are all very free souls, and it will be uncomfortable to be bound in a stone.
Furthermore, the devil's power remains on it. If you take it into the world, it will be discovered, which will be a big trouble for you.
Speaking of Ciri
Did you kill her? ”
"Yeah."
Mason touched the ring on his finger and said:
"It was just a brief farewell. We will meet again eventually and share each other's lives. You can regard it as a unique love contract"
"Gee, as an old man, I can no longer understand what young people are playing nowadays, but I have to say that I am shocked."
Old J played with the soul stones of Geralt and Yennefer, he curled his lips and said:
"They say you'll do it till death do you part, but I saw it with my own eyes today. You're such a lucky kid. From this point of view, you also have the talent to become an excellent pirate."
"Ahem"
Mason coughed violently twice, waved his hands and said:
"I don't know why, but hearing these two words makes me feel uncomfortable all over, as if I'm being targeted by some damn dirty thing. Forget it, your line of work is too wild and not suitable for me at all.
Is there anything you can tell me about that world? ”
"Nothing of value."
Old J put down the compass and let the ghost ship start to float when it arrived at its destination, and said to Mason:
"I have only been here a handful of times, and Old A protects his private information very well, but how can I say that this world is indeed more stable than other worlds.
Elites live here, and elites from all over the world gather here to serve the Council.
This is not a normal world, it is more like the heart of a huge organization. There are no fragile ordinary people here, but you no longer have to worry about the threat of power. ”
The old pirate paused and said:
"What you really want to ask about is the news about God Lord Doom, right? I see indifference and disgust in your eyes. It seems that you are here for him. Unfortunately, that guy's whereabouts are even more mysterious than Old A.
I just know that he lives in a weird place called Doujie, but I have no idea how to get there. ”
"Wow"
The Bard's hull jumped onto the water in the next moment, allowing Mason to see the endless ocean and sky under the midday sun. He had reached his destination.
He started his last pioneering career as the last pioneer.
"Thanks, old J."
Mason took the little cuties out of the cabin, waved goodbye to the old pirate who picked up the fishing rod again and said:
"Wait until I get back and treat you to a drink."
"Let's talk about it if we can come back alive."
The old pirate snorted, and when Mason left, he reminded:
"There are also bases of various conqueror sequences here, so if you want to be an enemy of the entire world, remember to attack those places first, otherwise it will be quite troublesome."
"Don't worry."
Mason waved his hands and said without looking back:
"I'm super professional in this area. Right now, there are already dedicated people handling this matter." (End of Chapter)
