Chapter 272 [King Xin]
This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style.
It looks like a warship sailing from a previous era.
The severely damaged paint layer of the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced.
A flag with a black streamer pattern hung above the mottled and rusted deck.
clang! clang! clang!
The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], attracting all the crew members to step onto the deck.
Joy took the lead in discovering this menacing old warship and issued a warning.
During Xia En’s retreat, Joey was not idle either, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training.
Now, she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area.
Only then did he notice the arrival of the strange ship for the first time.
"What's the origin of that ship?"
Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious.
“Is it coming for us?”
Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was.
Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already a big guy among the ships. It looks like a giant beast crawling on the sea. It may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time.
Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance.
Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of Annihilation].
It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan].
It is enough to make ordinary ships frightened.
Not to mention making enemies of it, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare.
Even during Xia En's retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order.
It would be okay if this weird-looking warship didn't recognize them.
If the [Black Swan] is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation.
Things became troublesome instead.
Joey frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag."
"And, judging from its style, it doesn't look like an official federal warship."
Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured.
“I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere.”
“It is... the symbol of a certain country’s navy.”
Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don't worry about its origin."
"How should we deal with it now? Should we just fire?"
To be honest, Joey was a little undecided.
If it were a pirate ship, she would definitely fire before the opponent reached a safe distance.
But now, the warship’s enemy is unknown and its intentions are unknown, so Joey doesn’t know what to do.
In fact, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings.
In the past, when Shane was on the ship, they didn't have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain's orders.
But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making a decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom.
Whenever this happens, the crew can't help but have an idea -
It would be great if Captain Shane was on board...
However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision.
After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Speak first. If the other party still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, then start a war directly!"
Joy nodded and said: "Just do it."
But just then.
“No need to bother.”
A deep voice sounded from the cabin.
Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came.
I saw the extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepping onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all, he was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew.
However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty.
It was the temperament of a superior person, as if he had the power of life and death.
It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a country.
The overwhelming momentum suffocated almost everyone's breath.
Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze, majestic.
Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan].
But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them.
Can't be touched anymore.
"Yan Yan..."
Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?"
At this time, not far away On the unidentified warship, a burst of cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly broke out!
Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past had finally been resolved.
There are also people who are so excited that they can’t help themselves, as if they are crazy.
Their cheers finally converged into one voice.
"Salary King! Salary King!"
Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked.
Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it right? They were calling... King Xin's name?"
"But King Xin, hadn't he already... ..."
Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan.
“Is this ship coming for you?”
Yan Yan didn't speak, but the aura about him said everything.
"Yan Yan is the salary king?"
Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, only feels extremely ridiculous in his heart: "How could such a thing happen?"
Hearing this, An's body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked.
It’s no wonder the crew reacted this way.
As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xin's name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas.
Coupled with the [Treasure of King Xin] that is constantly being unearthed, and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, King Xin’s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day.
It can be said that this salary king is the legend among legends and the king among kings!
The crew members were amazed by the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure].
How dare they imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but even lived with them on a ship for such a long time?
on the other hand.
Joy and others also noticed Yan Yan’s extraordinary qualities very early.
The kind of flame that can ignite even sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, the characteristic of immortality... all reflect his specialness.
However, the character Yan Yan showed in the past was too harmless to humans and animals.
Like a big golden retriever who is only willing to help others, he is too kind and naive.
Therefore, everyone knows that Yan Yan's true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent.
But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man.
Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally.
However, precisely because of Yan Yan’s character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. Everyone doesn't say it, but in fact, in terms of life, they always take good care of Yan Yan.
Joey would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while he was cooking.
An Hui invited him to exercise with him using the Knight's Breathing Technique.
When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam.
Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea.
And now, someone suddenly said to the crew——
Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin!
The shock in the hearts of the crew members can be imagined.
At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed.
“I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]!”
“The Great Yan Kingdom, the ship of the [Black Flame Walker], actually still exists on the Seven Seas ! ”
These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin.
Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly.
"It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected."
His eyes are no longer as pure and clean as before, but like Adds a lot of messy impurities.
It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes.
It seemed that the flame would not be completely extinguished until it burned him to death.
Facing Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless, felt a little fear in his heart.
Even so, Xian Ge opened his eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask.
“Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]?”
“Can you please stop leaving? I won’t steal your barbecue next time.”
Hearing this, Yan Yan's eyes softened a little.
But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight side by side with you."
" There is no need to think so much, and there is no need to carry such a heavy past.”
“But, I still have a mission that must be completed!”
“And I continue to be on the [Black Swan]. , it will only drag you into being involved.”
"So, I have a reason to leave."
Hearing these words, the crew members fell silent.
Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay?
That’s when.
The warship with the black flowing fire logo has already arrived beside the [Black Swan].
Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down on one knee towards Yan Yan.
“The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Salary!”
The faces of these crew members are all full of enthusiasm and joy.
They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day.
During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were painful beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But the moment I saw Wang, all the efforts I made in the past seemed to have meaning.
Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly realized something in their hearts.
Yan Yan is not only carrying his past.
It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others.
Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path.
Yan Yan turned around, faced the people in [Black Flame], and said calmly.
“Yes, I am back.”
“I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas.”
After that, his An unquenchable flame ignited on the black robe, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea.
Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] ecstatic again.
Their king is back!
The burning flames and the hot temperature prove that this is not their illusion, but something that actually happened!
Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea.
However, when the crew members of the [Black Swan] looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange.
Because, that is not the Yan Yan they know.
But the King of Xin who was reborn in the flames!
If given a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look that simple and clean.
"King, what should we do with these people?"
At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at everyone on the boat and whispered.
"They obviously didn't treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment..."
"Shut up."
The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul.
He said in the sternest tone: "They are my companions."
"They were before, they are now, and they will be in the future."
"All [Black Flames] Travelers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew.”
Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan's attitude, no one would disobey his wishes.
[Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison.
“Yes, my king!”
After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to connect the ship with the It is engraved in the eyes of all the people.
At this moment.
From a corner of the boat, a translucent figure suddenly floated out.
"Ha...so sleepy..."
Vivian yawned, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and whispered in a low voice.
“Why have you grown so big? It’s so scary.”
Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan's expression changed slightly.
In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan].
But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling of being unable to see through.
One is the Bronze Dragon String Song.
The second one is this ghost lady Vivian.
The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets.
But even King Xin couldn’t figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him.
"Captain Shane had guessed before that you might leave, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words."
Vivian said casually: "You don't have to be too nervous. Seriously, just listen."
Yan Yan was slightly stunned: "What did the captain say?"
Vivian recounted in Shane's tone: "He said, no matter you are the salary king or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island."
"As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the [Black Swan]."
"The mountains are high and the road is far, and the future is long."
"Take care, my friend!"
