Chapter 208 The Gilded Mire

The latest website: Gentleman Skeleton waved his hand towards everyone from afar.

Like a farewell between lovers, it is meaningful.

How can it be!

Unscientific!

Tiramisu's hands that clenched the sniper rifle trembled slightly.

She can be sure that she can definitely aim at the right spot. After all, she is experienced, and she can never aim at the wrong position.

There is absolutely no reason, nor should it.

After a moment of astonishment, the tiramisu exploded in rage, throwing everything out of his mind, and fired the second bullet without saying a word.

boom!

Another golden bullet fired.

laugh!

Beside the skeleton gentleman, on the floor, a piece of gravel suddenly splashed, which was a sign that the bullet had missed.

The third one!

boom!

The fourth one!

boom!

No one knows why so many sharp sniper bullets can be hidden in the deep V of tiramisu.

But all the navy watched helplessly as Admiral Tiramisu in their minds, like a vixen, took out bullets one after another from his clothes, loaded and fired frantically, as if there was no sign of stopping at all .

Ding ding ding——

Hollow bullet casings fell to the ground one after another.

"he's gone."

Yi Lin held up the binoculars and looked at the end of the street until there was no one or any dog ​​at the other end of Victoria Avenue, then she put down the binoculars and said slowly.

Tiramisu: "..."

Tiramisu is worthy of the general level,

Such a weird thing happened to him, but he quickly calmed down.

Seeing the legendary pirate and skeleton gentleman who mastered "black witchcraft" completely disappear from everyone's sight, Tiramisu slowly lowered his gun. pretty.

Gu Tianqing looked behind Elizabeth Lin from time to time, thoughtful.

"Search!"

Tiramisu flicked the sniper rifle in his hand, expressionless. Amidst the flashes of brilliance and the sound of grinding gears, the exquisite and domineering golden sniper rifle re-transformed into a long and narrow tobacco rod, which was very magical.

Although Yi Lin was very interested in the deformable high-tech sniper rifle in Tiramisu's hand, she couldn't do anything bad under the watchful eyes of everyone, so she could only resolutely suppress this thought and talk about it when she had a chance.

After quietly sending a bunch of messages to Emperor Wang, without waiting for Gouzi's reply, Yi Lin followed the navy team and searched Victoria Avenue thoroughly.

No surprises, Tiramisu walked directly to the place where the skeleton gentleman stood not long ago.

Several bullet holes were left on the ground, and the terrifyingly powerful sniper bullets had already sunk deep into the stone slab, making it difficult to pull out.

All the navies were in fear, and under the command of Tiramisu, they spread out around Victoria Avenue and searched thoroughly.

Tonight, destined to sleep all night.

When Yi Lin returned to Swann Castle, the sky had already turned pale.

Regarding Elizabeth Lin's departure, Tiramisu didn't even ask much, because all her attention was on searching for the damned pirate. As for where the governor's fiancée wanted to go, Tiramisu didn't even ask. Do not care.

Before Yi Lin left, Gu Tianqing just smiled and whispered "beautiful lady, please be safe" before saying anything else.

This made Yi Lin more wary of Gu Tianqing.

Gu Tianqing... seems to be a more insidious character than Yi Lin imagined.

Doubt?

Yi Lin can confirm that Gu Tianqing will still have doubts about Yi Lin even if such an incident happened tonight.

After all, no apostle is really weak to be able to get to the current level, and there will always be something special.

"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting."

Yi Lin suppressed the excitement that suddenly surged up in her heart, then opened the door that followed her like a shadow, slipped into the room quietly, and locked the door behind her backhand.

And in the girl's boudoir.

Ruth is about to take off her "skeleton gentleman" outfit and put on a black and white maid outfit.

Seeing Yi Lin slipping in and locking the door, Ruth immediately entangled her, her face flushed.

"Acridine! Rin! Tonight is so, so, so exciting!"

The dog lay on the side and yawned lazily.

"You are not afraid?"

Yi Lin looked at Ruth, who had a strange expression, and licked Ruth. The "Skeleton Gentleman" full set of krypton gold appearance equipment was turned into a card in a blink of an eye. When Ruth realized that she was stripped of her underwear in an instant, Yi Lin Rin has already included the "Skeleton Gentleman Appearance Set" in the storage space.

"Fuck! Rin, how can you be so proficient in this technique!"

Ruth subconsciously covered the upper part tightly, thought for a while, then covered the lower part tightly, and after thinking for a while, she simply opened her arms and made a pose, showing a charming figure in front of Yi Lin.

"Put on your clothes quickly."

The corners of Yi Lin's eyes twitched slightly, reminding her earnestly.

Ruth already knew very well that once Yi Lin spoke in such a tone, it would not be a good time to joke, so she obediently dressed as a maid.

While Ruth was not moving, Yi Lin sat on the bed, thinking about everything that happened tonight.

The mysterious Governor, Governor's Mansion, Infrared Sensor, Password Elevator, Secrets Underground of Governor's Mansion, Deal with Calypso, Demon King, Tiramisu's Weird Weapon, Strange Technology Tree.

Clues, fragments, and conjectures were rearranged in Yi Lin's mind, and then useful content was extracted from these messy information like a cocoon.

"Outsiders..."

suddenly.

Yi Lin remembered what Calypso called him during that hurricane.

"Yes, Ruth."

"Huh? Need a massage, my captain."

Ruth immediately switched from the voice of the maid to the voice of the exclusive masseuse.

"……,good."

So, the two of them put on a good pose and started to buff.

After all, buff status is really, really important.

beside the bed.

The dog pursed his lips and stretched out his paws to cover his eyes.

"Are you comfortable my captain?"

"Um……"

"My dear captain, when will you blow up the Governor's Palace again?"

When Ruth thought of tonight's experience, she couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"..."

The massage is over.

Yi Lin looked at the brand new BUFF on the apostle panel, feeling refreshed.

He knocked on the floor in front of Gouzi, Gouzi raised his eyelids, with a somewhat displeased expression, as if he was protesting that Yi Lin disturbed Master Gou's closed eyes.

"Next, according to the normal development, the navy will definitely search the whole city for the whereabouts of the skeleton gentleman in the past few days. Well, there is also a dog."

Wang Tiandi: "Wang."

Gouzi understood.

Yi Lin continued: "Since that guy is a senior adviser to the Navy, we must prevent him from giving the Navy some bad ideas, such as... searching for Swann Castle and so on. So, you who have been exposed, this It must not be exposed to anyone for a few days."

Although everyone in Swann Castle knew that Elizabeth Lin had brought a dog back, but all the noble ladies in London seemed to have the habit of keeping some pets to improve their status. For Yi Lin, , is not a big deal.

Without proof, it's not a car.

Moreover, the Navy wants to find a gentleman with a skeleton more than a dog.

Regarding tonight's matter, originally Yi Lin wanted to see if there was a chance in the chaos, to force the mysterious governor out, and then go back to the governor's mansion and go under the elevator to find out.

As for the sniper rifle that was beyond the scope of this world's technology, it was beyond Yi Lin's surprise, making things even more weird.

And from the very beginning, Yi Lin prepared a [Bullet Deflection] for Gouzi in advance, in case Ruth was surrounded by the navy, so that Gouzi could shoot [Bullet Deflection] on Ruth at a critical moment, Prevent Ruth from getting killed by Navy bullets.

Although the development of things is quite different from Yi Lin's original idea, but Yi Lin also discovered more weirdness in this plot mode.

In general, there are gains and losses.

Yi Lin remembered the deal with Calypso again.

In the "Curse" column of the captain's panel, there was an additional item "Calypso's Gaze", which made Yi Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

If Calypso's commission is not completed as agreed, there may be some dire consequences.

Of course, Yi Lin wasn't afraid, it was just a curse after all.

It's just that Yi Lin doesn't know how capable Calypso, who calls himself "Sea God", has reached.

omniscient? omnipotent?

Erin smiled slightly.

"If it's really so awesome, why entrust that matter to an ordinary human being?"

"Outsiders? Huh."

While meditating, Yi Lin, who had been busy all night, also felt a little sleepy, so she lay directly on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

the next day.

There are three poles in the sun.

Dressed in a fine attire, Yi Lin came to the Governor's Mansion openly once again.

After last night's explosion in the Governor's Mansion, the defense force has been strengthened by several levels. Layers of guards, three circles inside and three circles outside, surround the entire Governor's Mansion, almost impenetrable.

Yi Lin stood at the same spot and made a rough estimate for a while. Even if [Shadow Follows] was turned on, under this kind of defensive strength, it was absolutely impossible to sneak in without being noticed.

This can no longer be called a patrol team, it is simply stationed here with heavy troops, there is no gap.

Erin raised her head.

Looking at the roof of the Governor's Palace.

Unless... from above.

Yi Lin revealed her identity, but was still blocked from the siege net.

"The governor ordered that from now on, no one will be interviewed, even the respected fiancee of the governor."

The leader of the small team apologized and rejected Yi Lin's request to see the governor.

The more she protected the governor, the more Yi Lin felt that there was something tricky about it.

It's just that in the current situation, it's not easy for Yi Lin to force her way in, so she can only give up for the time being.

Furthermore, he came to the Governor's Mansion for a walk, just to take a look along the way, and he didn't really have to meet the "fiancé" in a normal way.

in the Communications panel.

After Yi Lin canceled "Do Not Disturb" to Gu Tianqing, the two of them didn't take the initiative to start a private chat, and fell into a strange state of silence.

"The 'smoke bomb' is enough, and if it continues, it will seem too deliberate."

Yi Lin quickly twisted her waist and left the governor's mansion.

The whole of London was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

On the side of the street, wanted posters of "Skeleton Gentleman" are plastered.

On the wanted notice is a man in an elegant tuxedo, a skull gentleman hat, and a "smiley face" mask on his face.

——There is also a dog with a ferocious face and fangs baring beside him.

The above reward amount is... 100,000 pounds.

For a damn pirate, this is undoubtedly a sky-high reward.

It's just that when Yi Lin saw this reward offer recreated overnight, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

The image of the dog on the arrest warrant is as terrifying as it is. It is a creature from hell, and even the background of the dog is abstracted with black ink to paint a large black shadow. It adds a bit of eerie and mysterious atmosphere to Gouzi.

According to the image of this arrest warrant, it would be hell to find that stupid dog.

Yi Lin suppressed her laughter and left the place silently.

One day without words.

Until...late night.

in london.

Fog filled the air.

The moon is dark and the wind is cool.

In Swan Castle, two women in disguise sneaked out.

Straight to the slums.

Yi Lin and Ruth, in order to reduce unnecessary troubles, simply dressed up in disguise to make them less conspicuous, and walked through the narrow alleys.

Corruption, oil stains, moss.

Crawling cockroaches, happily jumping mice, criss-crossing ditches, and the sewage is completely untreated, emitting a stench in the sewers.

There is a sense of poverty everywhere in the surrounding area. Compared with the luxurious urban area, it is like a world of difference, which is clear at a glance.

In the slums, there is not even a single guard. It seems that in London, this is a dirty corner that even the royal guards don't want to patronize.

"This is obviously a good place to hide people, why don't you search here and search the streets?"

When Yi Lin saw it, she felt a little funny.

Ruth shrugged helplessly: "Who knows, maybe those guys think that the elegant captain is not happy to hide in such a ghostly place."

Yi Lin was speechless.

In his opinion, it is more likely that Tiramisu issued an order to search the city from above, but the guards below knew that there was such a place in London, but they were unwilling to come because it was too dirty and messy. Searching here, pretending to be diligent, sweating and tearing on the streets of London, a typical bureaucratic style.

Can the leaders who work in the slums see it?

It's useless!

It's better to sweat in the hot sun on the street and get the appreciation of the upper class.

Yi Lin quickly understood the mystery.

In the narrow alleys, apart from cockroaches and mice, there are also poor people who are full of stinky bodies.

There were quite a few flies and mosquitoes, smelling the seductive scent of the poor, and hovering over the piles of lying poor.

Ruth frowned, and took out a small delicate wet wipe to cover her mouth and nose.

It doesn't matter to Yi Lin, anyway, he has experienced even worse environments, and this is just a pediatric case, apart from being a little uncomfortable, it doesn't bleed, and there is nothing special about it.

half an hour later.

Ruth and Yi Lin finally arrived at their destination.

"I suggest you put away that damn wet wipe you're holding."

Yi Lin turned her head expressionlessly and reminded.

Although Ruth was reluctant, under Yi Lin's serious threat, she still crumpled up the small wet wipe and threw it in the corner in disgust.

In front of the two of them was a pile of messy garbage, piled up into a hill, exuding an indescribable smell.

In the hill, there is a passage faintly revealed. There is no light, and the dark passage is like the entrance to a magic cave. It looks very scary.

Ruth waved to Yi Lin in a low voice: "Captain, here!"

Yi Lin followed the sound and approached.

On the ground that Ruth pointed to, there was a crude skull pattern engraved.

Without hesitation, after Ruth pointed out the entrance, Yi Lin got into the garbage dump directly.

Both sides are full of rubbish of various shapes, not sorted, and I don't know how long it has been accumulated here, and even a lot of rotten food is covered with white bugs.

At this moment, Yi Lin finally understands why there are gathering places of pirates hidden in big cities in the huge London.

As the saying goes, the big hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the dirty.

This kind of filthy place, not to mention the navy, would never approach it unless Yilin had a special purpose and no special reason.

The passage formed by the rubbish mountain slopes downward at an angle of about 30 degrees. After walking about ten meters, the surrounding walls gradually become solid walls, which are no longer made of rubbish. Relatively speaking, it looks much cleaner.

And Ruth's frown was also slightly relaxed.

soon.

Waves of slight vibrations came from the front, mixed with noisy and noisy voices.

Take a few more steps.

The pungent, rich smell of rum gradually overwhelmed the stench of corruption.

finally.

It suddenly opened up.

Dim lights lit up the darkness ahead.

Ruth explained in Yi Lin's ear at the right time: "It is said that this place used to be an underground warehouse used by nobles to hide treasures, but one day, this warehouse was visited by pirates and cleaned up, and this nobleman did not leave. When did it start, this urban area has also become a slum."

At the end of the light, there are two tattered wooden doors that are useless, as if they will fall down if you tap them lightly.

Erin stretched out her hand and pushed.

Snapped.

The door actually slammed down, lying in front of Yi Lin, like touching porcelain.

No, this is simply touching porcelain.

"Hey, you damned pirates, dare to break the gate of the 'Golden Mire' and lose money!"

A dirty little hand stretched out from the darkness, and at the same time, from behind the door, a face full of dirt came forward with a smile.

While asking for money, the dirty boy seemed to be sizing up Yi Lin and Ruth, with a bit of doubt in his bright eyes.

Before Yi Lin could speak, Ruth was already angry, pointing at the dirty child's nose and yelling: "Damn it, I just came here yesterday, you didn't fix this damned door at all!"

The dirty boy pulled out a small wooden sign from behind as if by magic.

There are a few words written on it.

——"Damn pirates, welcome."

——"Wooden doors are expensive, please compensate according to the price if they are damaged."

——"If you don't pay compensation, please be careful with rum, it may be poisonous."

——"Poisoned death, death will not be punished."

Yi Lin: "..."

Ruth: "..."

This is a blatant threat.

and extortion.

Yi Lin was curious: "Did you lose money yesterday?"

"It's a loss, but I didn't expect the style here to be more pirate-like than ours."

Ruth was helpless, and was about to take out a few copper coins to mean something.

suddenly.

In the dim light, a red shadow flashed between Yi Lin and the dirty child.

slap.

Two bloody fingers fell to the ground. Those two fingers seemed to be completely unaware that they were cut off, and they were still twisting slightly.

The dirty boy looked shocked.

Yi Lin smiled slightly, and after cutting off the child's two fingers, she took out a brand new gold coin, and pressed it in the palm of the severed finger. In a blink of an eye, the gold coin was covered with blood.

"These two fingers are to give you a piece of advice."

"Some people can't be touched casually."

"This gold coin is your compensation."

After leaving three sentences, Yi Lin dragged the stunned Ruth into the underground tavern.

"Go away, don't appear in front of pirates in the future."

The dirty child stared blankly at the bloody gold coin in his palm, until the two pirates who didn't look like pirates, but were crueler than any other pirate left, felt the sharp pain from the severed finger, and then Bending his back, biting his lower lip, he squatted on the ground, enduring the pain and not letting himself cry out.

After a few minutes.

The pain subsided a bit, and then the dirty boy in ragged clothes stood up, clutching the gold coin in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn pirate!"

Then soon he laughed foolishly again, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, hid the gold coin in his arms, as if afraid of being stolen, and saw no one around, so he left the passage in peace.

Ruth was silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, he whispered: "Some people can't touch casually?"

When Yi Lin heard this, she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Ruth is paying attention to this?

The pirate bar hidden in the bustling London underground is called "Gilded Mire".

I don't know whose taste it is to choose such an unstyled name.

The Pirate Bar, as the name suggests, is a place only pirates would visit.

After all, in London, where royal guards are everywhere, pirates are shady existences.

You have to play this underground party style to drink a good rum punch.

I don't know if it's because it's located underground, but the gold-plated quagmire is airtight, and the whole space is filled with a rotten smell mixed with various peculiar smells.

It is even messier than the "Fiery Rose" run by Ruth. If there is a restaurant hygiene rating agency in this world, this tavern will undoubtedly be rated as five stars.

- Negative five stars.

What happened at the door did not cause any commotion.

To be precise, unless Yi Lin took out an explosive ball and blew it up, these drunk pirates would not notice any subtle movements.

The two entered the tavern.

The taste is overwhelming.

As for the smell, Yi Lin didn't bother to distinguish carefully, it wasn't a good smell anyway.

Ruth had already been here once yesterday, but at that time it was just to find a place where she could inquire about news, and she didn't stay in the gilded quagmire for too long.

For pirates, where is the place to ask for news?

There is no doubt that it is of course a tavern where pirates gather.

Pirates have always been famous for having no secrets.

The tavern has a lot of space. After all, it used to be a warehouse used by a certain nobleman to hide treasures. The space is too small to justify it, and it looks very empty.

Above the head, the shaky oil lamps and dim yellow lights cast twisted and shaking shadows on the pirates. From a distance, they looked like a group of demons dancing wildly, adding a bit of weird and terrifying atmosphere out of thin air.

But looking more closely, Yi Lin actually had the illusion of stepping into an unorthodox modern bar, dancing on a dance floor filled with colorful and interlaced neon lights, but unfortunately there was no music.

Ding, ding dong——

This thought just came to Yi Lin.

Behind the bar, an old man dressed stylishly, with various braids on his head, with drooping eyelids and crossed legs, was holding a musical instrument that looked like a guitar, tinkling and playing.

"Yoho~ let's change sail~ raise the flag~"

"Pull~ thief and beggar~ we will never die~"

Hehe, who said there is no music?

Many people began to sing loudly, singing the song of pirates.

In fact, the singing voice and the guitar accompaniment are not in the same dimension at all, and they are not the same song at all.

"Huh? Why are people still nailed to the wall?"

Ruth suddenly pointed to a wall.

Yi Lin glanced at it, and was too lazy to pay attention to it so much, so she took Ruth and picked a relatively quiet corner, where there happened to be a table that was unoccupied, and the two sat down.

ten minutes later.

Yi Lin and Ruth, who had nothing to do, finally waited for the waiter.

A flattering and somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind them.

"Hey hey, welcome to the 'Gold-Plated Mire', oh, you two are really pretty, the skilled Charlie is serving you attentively, how many glasses of rum would you like?"

Yi Lin and Ruth turned their heads.

An ugly man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, a man who had been beaten so badly that even his mother could hardly recognize him, was trying his best to squeeze out a dog-licking smile, rubbing his index finger and thumb at Yi Lin and Ruth, as if expecting There is something called a "tip" as a reward.
