Chapter 203 [0201] The New and Old Sea Kings
Compared to the last time when Thresh was blocked, the artillery support of the Siren this time was not as fierce, responsive, or accurate.
This was certainly not because the sailors of the Siren were slack.
When the ship was bombarding Thresh before, it was anchored - but after the bombardment, under the command of the first mate Raven, the Siren immediately set sail and headed straight for the signal release site.
This round of artillery support was only half-side firing, and it was firing in action. The current accuracy was already an extraordinary performance of the Siren sailors because they cared about their captain!
After hearing the sound of the cannon, Sarah simply climbed to the top of the temple and looked towards the sea.
Soon, in the opposite direction of the Abyss, a familiar silhouette also appeared at the edge of her vision.
Very good, the Siren is also very close!
So, she jumped down from the temple hall neatly, took two steps at a time, and came to Drizzt.
"Card player, I have a big job for you now." She sorted out the pistols and bullets on her body and said quickly, "Use your card tricks to take me to the Siren."
"Siren? Where is it?" Drizzt blinked, without stopping the action of cutting the cards in his hand, "It's pitch black, I can't see your Siren."
"A thousand gold Siren." Sarah put the two guns on her waist, "Payment on arrival."
"Last time you tricked me into Gangplank's treasure house, I learned a lesson." This time, Drizzt did not agree immediately, but continued his Cutting card action, "Some money can be taken but not spent."
"Gangplank is back." Sarah raised her eyebrows, "If I die first, you will be the second."
"I don't have a Siren, nor do I have any loyal first mates and sailors. My only friend is this idiot." Drizzt took Graves in his arms, then tilted his head and put on a helpless look, "Gangplank is terrible, but he can't turn the two of us into bone sculptures... I believe Zaun will welcome us."
As he said, Drizzt waved to Lux.
"So, are you going to Zaun to be an honest worker or businessman, and bid farewell to the sea forever?" Sarah stretched out her left hand and grabbed the card in Drizzt's hand, "Let's make a bet, Drizzt, if I catch the joker, you will send me to the Siren, together with Graves, to help me protect the deck."
"What if I can't catch it?" Drizzt narrowed his eyes, "There are fifty-four cards in a deck, and only two jokers."
"Then I will leave you the key to my legacy - you can get everything from me."
"Are you going to give up your loyal first mate?" Drizzt increased his card cutting speed, "What a cruel and ruthless woman..."
"If I'm finished, everyone on the Siren will probably have been fed to sharks." Sarah's face was covered with an extremely confident smile, "But this is impossible - because, I am Sarah Fortune!"
The next moment, she quickly grabbed a card, and then pulled it out neatly without any hesitation, as if she was just randomly selecting a piece of bread from a stack of bread slices to roll sausages.
This sudden attack made Drizzt a little stunned. When he reacted, Sarah had already revealed the card in her palm.
Joker.
"It seems that the goddess of luck is on my side." Sarah raised the card high, "Gangplank, that bastard, thought he could fight back from hell, but unfortunately, he didn't understand that the times of Bilgewater have changed - he is just a remnant of the old times, and there is no ship belonging to him in the new era!"
Inside the temple, many people who recognized the silhouette of the Abyss were trembling.
However, after seeing the Joker in Sarah's hand and hearing her "declaration of victory", many people's eyes were obviously brightened.
"I was in a hurry to go out." Sarah stuffed the joker card into her chest, and then shouted loudly, "My outfit is a little bit off - who has a captain's hat that's not so dirty?"
"Here, dear lady!"
"Take my hat!"
"Mine is made of sea dragon skin!"
"..."
"..."
As Sarah raised her arms and hid in the Nagakabouros Temple, the guys who had a mortal feud with Gangplank responded one after another.
Looking at the captain's hats raised high, Sarah's eyes swept over them, and then reached out to take a hat that looked ordinary.
She tore off a piece of the hem of her top, tied it on her head as a headscarf, and then buckled this ordinary pirate hat on her head.
"Your precious hats should be saved for your offspring, if any." Sarah, wearing a captain's hat, laughed, mockingly and promisingly, "I'm not Gangplank, I don't need these fancy things!"
These words really suited the appetite of these stinky pirates and bastard sailors. For a moment, everyone either waved their arms excitedly or whistled.
Sarah raised her hands high, as if she was a queen reviewing her supporters, and walked out of the temple of Nagakabouros with a stunned Drizzt and a confused Graves.
……………………
Above the sea, the black fog thickened.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Sarah, Drizzt and Graves came to the seaside.
"Let's go to the Siren!" Sarah took a deep breath, "Drizzt, let me see your card trick again."
"I must be crazy."
Drizzt muttered, but the movement of cutting the cards in his hand was terrifyingly fast. A brand new deck of cards seemed to come alive in his hands, flying and flashing colorful brilliance - although he had expected it in his heart, when the spell began, Drizzt was still surprised by the favor of the goddess of luck.
"Stand up!" He seemed to be finally infected by Sarah, and took a deep breath, "Standing in the card circle... I hope you are used to the deep sea!"
The next moment, an indescribable twist and squeeze came, and the figures of the three people disappeared on the spot - it was too difficult for Drizzt to teleport people, even with the favor of the goddess of luck, his teleportation was still a little off course.
After reappearing, they did not stand safely on the deck of the Siren, but fell from the air like dumplings and landed on the half-opened sail of the Siren.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, at least they successfully reached their destination.
On the coast, Lux watched the three people disappear and the flashing light of the card, and grasped the hilt of the sword again.
"Karya, aren't we going to help?"
"This is a duel between the new and old kings of Bilgewater, and it's not our place to intervene. Sarah didn't even invite you, isn't that obvious?"
"But... Gangplank's ship is obviously abnormal." Lux said worriedly, "It seems that she may not be Gangplank's opponent."
"That's because Gangplank has invited an outsider." As if sensing something interesting, Karya smiled happily, "So, our goal is to prevent that outsider from causing trouble and interfering with this great duel!"
Karya's small class: Goddess of Luck:
Although the belief in the goddess of luck is widely present in the Great River Nomads, Ixutar, the former Blessed Islands, and sometimes there are indeed performances that are close to miracles, it seems that there has never been a dedicated religion.
Maybe it's because... the emperor of Europe is not so easy to pretend?
