Chapter 193 Half-dragon Nana, the last supper?

Chapter 193 Half-dragon Nana, the last supper?

"Uncle Basil."

Seeing this one-eyed old man, Shane did not dare to slack off and said respectfully: "I'm back."

In John's memory, the name The one-eyed pirate named Basil seems ordinary, but he was actually the first mate of the Black Sails and Augustine's true confidant.

On this island where thousands of ships are piled up, Basil is equivalent to Augustine’s steward, managing the trivial affairs here for him.

The respect for status is evident.

For John himself, Basil was also the initiator who led him on the secret path, with a relationship similar to that of a master and a disciple.

So, when facing Basil, Xia En would be very energetic and try not to reveal any flaws.

“I’ve heard everything about the sea.”

Basil looked into Xia En’s eyes and smiled kindly: “You did a good job.”

"The man named Philip should have been killed long ago. If the captain hadn't said it was a test for you, I would have done it myself."

"As for those two ships, you handled them very well. You are worthy of being the young master I recognize.”

This old man looks polite and well-dressed.

Looking at his appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that he was once a powerful pirate who licked blood from his sword.

The murderous intent occasionally revealed in his eyes was much stronger than that of Xia En.

Xia En's mind turned and asked Basil an unexpected question.

"Other than me, who else was attacked?"

Basil narrowed his one eye slightly and replied: "Lao Wu, Lao Ba and Lao Ten."

"Among them, Lao Shi was the worst. Even the boat was lost, and one person escaped with serious injuries."

Hearing this, Xia En felt awe-inspiring.

Counting himself, four apostles were attacked!

Even if the mastermind behind the attack did not use all his strength, it was enough to show that this attack was unusual.

Perhaps, more than one force has started testing?

So, Shane asked directly: "Uncle Basil, can I go see Mr. Augustine?"

As one of the twelve apostles, he also has the status of an adopted son. , this request to meet Augustine is reasonable.

But Basil shook his head slightly.

Xia En's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Is Augustine's injury so severe that he cannot see anyone?

Basil shook his head again: "Don't worry, young master, the captain's condition is not that good, but it's not that bad either."

Xia En became even more confused after hearing this.

What do you mean by not that good and not that bad?

Why did a pirate become the Riddler?

Basil didn't explain much, just said: "There will be a dinner party in the evening. The captain will not show up, but the other apostles will be there."

"Master John, please attend on time."

Xia En nodded and said: "I will."

He has not forgotten that his trial mission, in addition to protecting Augustine's safety, is also to uncover the traitors among the Twelve Apostles!

This dinner is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Seeing him agree so readily, a flash of surprise flashed in Basil's eyes.

In the past, John was not bad in terms of strength, but his personality was a bit hard to describe, and he did not look like a pirate.

Especially when facing other apostles, they have an attitude of fear and avoidance.

Now, after suffering this incident, his character seems to have finally changed a lot.

Basil sighed with emotion: "Master John, it's good that you have grown up."

"The captain will be very happy if he knows about it."

Hearing this, Xia En's mood was a little complicated.

After all, he is not the real John Smith, he just temporarily occupies this body.

This kind of sincere concern from the elder made him feel a little guilty and a little envious for no reason.

Not long after, Basil left first, saying that he wanted to inform the other apostles.

Xia En asked the crew members on the ship to disperse on their own, and he walked towards his residence on the island with the dust.

Along the way, Shane silently observed this pirate kingdom.

This Island of Ten Thousand Ships can be said to be surrounded by ports, with countless large and small ships moored in the ports.

Some seemed to have won a battle and returned triumphantly, while others seemed to have been robbed, and all the pirates on the ship were injured.

Some of them seemed to be just ordinary fishing boats, returning home with a full load of fish, and the crew members all had smiles on their faces.

In areas closer to the center of the island, there are of course supporting pubs, casinos, residential areas, and gorgeous call girls.

It looks somewhat similar to the [Insanity Islands] that I have been to before.

However, Xia En also clearly felt that there was an invisible order on this island.

This kind of order restrained the pirates who had no taboos, and also gave the people on the island a sense of identity and belonging.

They are not passers-by to this island, but citizens of the [Pirate Principality]!

Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little incredible.

A group of pirates who are "outlaw gangsters" actually identify with a place?

Besides, Hui Yun looked at the passers-by around him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This [Pirate Principality] is more like a country than the small kingdoms on land."

"That Augustine is worthy of being the only pirate king in history."

"The only one?"

Xia En was a little surprised.

He didn’t know much about past history and thought that the [Pirate Principality] existed before Augustine.

Huiyun nodded: "Yes, he is the only one."

"Augustine was the founder of the [Pirate Principality], and after his death, the kingdom quickly fell apart."

>"After that, there were a few pirates who founded a country in his name, but they didn't have Augustine's ability, and they were wiped out by the Royal Navy within a few years."

Xia En thought about it seriously. , I don’t think it’s surprising.

This [Pirate Principality] itself exists because of Augustine.

Once Augustine died, the invisible order disappeared and the principality fell apart.

Suddenly, Huiyun said with a playful smile: "Captain John, can you take me to the dinner party tonight?"

"I promise not to cause any trouble for you."
< br>Xia En said directly: "No."

The reason for his refusal was simple. He had not yet trusted the secret traveler named Hui Yun.

Although Hui Yun claims that his trial mission is to protect Augustine, this may also be a lie.

As for the oath Hui Yun made, Xia En believed it.

Because when he swore, the [Secret Sea] did emit a strange wave, proving the validity of the oath.

Hui Yun sighed and did not continue to force it.

At the same time, in his heart, he became more and more curious about Xia En's true identity.

Judging from the previous battles, Xia En is obviously very accustomed to fighting at sea, and he is most likely a captain.

But his attitude towards the pirates is not like that of a pirate captain.

Especially this kind of meticulous thinking is almost like the style of the Federal Navy.

But if he is a member of the Federation Navy, how come he has not heard of his name Hui Yun?

Huiyun muttered in his heart: "It's really strange..."

……

……

It didn’t take long.

Shane came to his residence on the island.

This is a small manor, the style is somewhat like the aristocratic buildings on the mainland.

There were even a few maids who came over to help Xia En.

Considering that John is also one of the twelve apostles, it is not surprising that he is treated like this. After taking a bath, Xia Encai changed his clothes with the help of his maid, and then saw his current appearance in the mirror.

In terms of appearance alone, John Smith is not much worse than Shane, he is quite handsome.

But he is still younger, like a big boy who has not grown up, or in other words, he is still just a teenager.

The black hair, black pupils, and delicate face have a gentle intention...reminiscent of poets and painters.

Coupled with this exquisite and beautiful clothes, he looks less like a pirate and more like a noble young master.

Xia En smiled bitterly.

No wonder John had little authority on the ship before.

How can pirates who are so beautiful, have a soft personality, and have a fierce temperament be convinced?

After thinking about it, Xia En asked the maid next to him: "Do you have any simpler clothes?"

The maid said with a smile: "I think the young master looks good like this."

Xia En just smiled faintly and asked again: "Do you have any simpler clothes?"

The personal maid suddenly did not dare to smile, and immediately asked someone to take two pieces of undecorated clothes, and asked carefully .

"Can these two be used?"

"Okay."

After changing clothes, Xia En left the manor.

The two maids were whispering in the room and chewing secretly.

"I think the young master has changed a bit."

"What has changed?"

"It's become...a little scary."

"The young master is a pirate after all. I think the young master is more masculine..."

...

...

After leaving the manor, Xia En walked directly towards a palace in the center of the island.

Yes, it’s the palace.

However, its style is different from the palace in Coral City. The style is more rough and barbaric, like those ancient temples.

Similarly, this palace was also built from the remains of ships.

As soon as Xia En walked to the palace gate, he saw a tall woman.

Her forehead has a circle of fine scales and a petite horn.

There is a long tail on her back, and the scales on the tail are deep red, reflecting a strange luster in the sunset.

Combined with her deep vertical pupils, the identity of this woman is naturally obvious.

Half dragon.

She was waving goodbye to the pirates around her.

"Hai, you don't have to worry about me. Why don't you just have dinner? What can I do?"

"Mom, I didn't grow all my tendons in vain!"

"Don't worry, they won't dare to bully me!"

Listening to this vulgar and bold tone, it sounds like a pirate. .

The female half-dragon had just seen off the other pirates. When she turned around, she saw Xia En walking towards her.

She frowned at first, feeling like she had seen this frail pretty boy before her somewhere before?

Then I thought about it, wasn't this John, who was an apostle like her?

Remembering that her elders before her promotion had earnestly persuaded her to play her role well, the female half-dragon reluctantly walked to Xia En and said hello.

"John, you're here..."

Before he finished speaking, the female half-dragon's expression changed.

"Huh? You..."

Xia En's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this seemingly reckless guy could figure out his identity at just one glance?

At this time, the half-dragon walked up to Xia En, got closer and smelled it up and down, his eyes shining brightly.

"John, you smell so good!"

"...Huh?"

Xia En was startled.

He never expected that this half-dragon would say such a thing.

But after thinking carefully, Xia En suddenly realized.

On the island where the ancient dragon fell, he not only unlocked the talent of [Dragon Body], he also bathed in the dragon's blood himself, and his body had long been tainted with the smell of the ancient dragon.

Not to mention, Xia En also received [The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon] from Xian Ge.

And John's body inherited his abilities and naturally had the aura of the ancient dragon, which was perceived by the half-dragon.

In Xia En's mind, the other party's information quickly emerged.

This half-dragon is named Nana, and she is also one of the Twelve Apostles.

Possessing a unique physical body, [Warrior] Mystic Pathfinder ranks eighth among the apostles.

That's the "Lao Ba" in Basil's mouth.

As for John, he is naturally the Lao Twelve at the end.

However, Xia En still cannot tell whether Nana is a trialist participating in the promotion ritual.

Because before this, Nana had an extremely generous character.

At this time, Nana hugged Shane's shoulders affectionately, and while smelling his scent, she said: "Brother John, I heard that you were also attacked?"

"But judging from your appearance, you should have eliminated all the enemies, right?"

"Well done! As apostles, we cannot embarrass Lord Augustine."

Nana's strength was astonishing, and Xia En couldn't get away without using a little more strength.

But if she really used her full strength, she might hurt Nana, so she had no choice but to accept the arm-in-arm gesture.

It was those two heavy things that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and asked: "Sister Nana, are you not injured?"

Nana waved her hand carelessly: "If it were the old Nana, maybe she would have been injured. Yes, but I’m not that weak!”

Hear this.

Xia En's movements suddenly paused.

Such words are not what the genuine Nana would say.

Nana also realized that she had made a mistake, and her muscles tensed up and she stood upright for a moment.

Xia En had a hard time holding back her laughter.

This half-dragon lady is really easy to guess.

He had already exposed his secret before he even tested it.

However, Xia En still pretended that nothing happened and asked: "Have you seen the other apostles? Are they injured?"

Nana replied: "Yes. When we arrived, Old Five was fine, but Old Ten was in quite a bad condition, with a broken arm.”

“Oh, those bastards are so brave, they even dared to steal our ship!”

"But don't be afraid, I'm protecting you!"

As she said that, Nana patted Xia En's shoulder so hard that his arm went numb.

Nana was also surprised by this, and said in surprise.

"Huh? You look thin, but your body is quite strong!"

Xia En couldn't help but smile.

The behavior of this half-dragon reminded him of Reina, the female captain of the [Giant] long ago.

After Xia En casually chatted with Nana for a few more words, he walked with her to the side hall of the palace, preparing to go to the final dinner party.

A door opened, and several apostles were waiting for their arrival at the dining table.
