Therefore, the key to this singularity still lies in King David - or rather, the treasure he holds, the Ark of the Covenant.
As long as he touches the Ark of the Covenant, no matter how many lives he has or what kind of servant he is, he will die.
When it comes to the Ark of the Covenant, we have to mention a goddess who doesn't have much fighting power.
According to the setting, once the goddess Euryale who descended on this singularity touched the Ark of the Covenant, the entire singularity would be destroyed, and this journey to save humanity would fail prematurely.
With this analysis, isn’t it obvious what Lin Qi’s next goal is going to be?
The [Ark of the Covenant] is not easy to carry, and with King David guarding it, there is no need to worry for the time being.
In comparison, Yuri and Ellie are looking for more people, and their situation is more urgent and critical, so -
Find Euryale!
Lin Qi cleared his mind, leaving only this one thought.
Soon, just like before, a direction appeared in Lin Qi's mind.
"Let's go in that direction next."
Lin Qi opened his eyes and pointed his finger to the southeast.
"All right, boys, get ready to sail!"
Accompanied by Drake's loud shouts, the Golden Hart finally left the coast and sailed towards the deep sea.
......
Is there some water?
The main reason is that the writing pace is indeed too fast, so I slowed it down a bit to allow the protagonist to experience life.
The beautiful girl has already informed me that if nothing unexpected happens, it will be on the shelves this Friday. I hope that all brothers and sisters will support it by then (hands folded) 2
Well, I guess no one would think it’s too early to put up more than 40 chapters, right? I’ve already reached the word count.
Chapter 44 Encountering the Enemy
The sky is as clear and bright as a washed sapphire. A few leisurely white clouds float slowly by. The breeze blows gently, bringing a slight smell of the sea. Occasionally, you can hear the calls of seabirds.
Everything looks so peaceful and beautiful...
but--
"So boring..."
Lin Qi, who had finished everything he could do, lay on the fence, looking like a dead fish.
At the beginning, Lin Qi was actually quite excited. After all, it was his first time sailing on the sea, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.
But after sailing for half a day, Lin Qi no longer thought so.
All I can see is the sea, the endless sea.
There is limited space for movement, and what is underfoot is not solid ground, but a deck that sways with the sea surface.
Although Lin Qi was not seasick, just sitting there made him feel itchy and uncomfortable.
The advantage of this place over Chaldea is probably that it's more crowded and lively.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The cannons on the side of the ship fired solid shells, hitting the pirate ship floating on the sea in the distance.
Oh, and this.
"Wuhu!"
"Did you see that? It only took three shots to destroy that ghost ship. I'm going to give myself full marks for this bombardment!"
Seeing the ship in the distance gradually sinking into the sea, Bombay cheered so much that his nose almost reached the sky.
Seeing his ostentatious look, the brothers surrounding him gnashed their teeth.
"Damn it! Luck, absolutely luck! It took me a lot of effort to destroy a ship with just four shells!"
One of the pirates beat his chest and stamped his feet, his face full of unwillingness.
He was the best gunner on the ship. It took him a lot of calculations to successfully destroy a ship with four shells.
As a result, the throne of the first place was snatched away by this kid Bangbei before he even had time to rest. Who can he complain to?
There is no doubt that this is a challenge to his reputation as the top gunner of the Golden Deer!
"I don't accept it! The ship you attacked just now must have been old and out of repair, so you were able to defeat it easily!"
"Hey, hey, hey, if you're not good at it, just practice more. Don't make excuses when you lose!"
Bombey was not happy.
"Don't think you can easily catch up with him just because you missed one shell. The difference of this one shell is a world of difference. It also proves the difference between your and my artillery skills. If you ask me, you should just let me take the position of the first gunner."
"Hehe, the technique of destroying a ship with just three shots is enough for you to learn for a lifetime!"
As Bombey spoke, he took a smug puff of his cigarette and deliberately blew the smoke into the pirate's face.
Against the backdrop of white smoke, the pirate's face became redder every second.
In a blink of an eye, his face turned as red as a steamed hairy crab.
"Get lost! I just don't believe it. If you, who may not even hit a target once in 300 years, can destroy a ship with three shots, why can't I do that?!"
Pushing Bombey away, he began to concentrate on looking for a suitable target.
"Hey hey hey, it's urgent!"
Bombey also knows that he is just lucky, but that doesn't stop him from showing off and mocking others.
......
Lin Qi propped up his head and looked at them speechlessly.
One has to admit that seniors are seniors. When it comes to the ability to entertain themselves, they are indeed much better than Lin Qi. They can play with almost anything for a long time.
The ships they were shelling were certainly not actual ships sailing at sea.
It is only because of the existence of the singularity that the pirate consciousness roaming this sea area is materialized.
As for why there is a physical entity and why it would actively attack people, this is beyond Lin Qi's knowledge.
Anyway, you just need to remember that they are enemies who only know how to rob, so there is nothing to think about.
"Hey! Use less shells! Shells are very expensive!"
Drake looked at the shells being fired one after another and suddenly couldn't help but yell at the people below.
"But big sister, didn't you make all these shells with that golden cup? You can just make more when you run out of them."
A pirate said nonchalantly.
"Fool! This useful thing can just turn into some food. Wouldn't it be too greedy to rely on it for everything?"
"Besides, I don't think this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is a good thing. What did I tell you? Stay alert, be alert!"
Drake looked at the pirate with disappointment.
"Hey, this is just a joke. Besides, it can easily create all kinds of things. It's hard not to rely on it, right?"
The pirate who was inspired by Drake smiled and said that he understood.
Indeed, being able to conjure up all kinds of things at will made even Lin Qi a little tempted, let alone others.
suddenly.
A sorrowful wail echoed throughout the deck.
"What the hell is that ship? I've already fired five or six shells at it, but nothing happened?"
The first gunner of the Golden Deer collapsed suddenly when he saw the target he was attacking was intact, and knelt on the ground in despair.
He was obviously so excited by Bombey that he failed to notice anything was wrong.
But the pirates with sharp eyes and good memory recognized at a glance the pirate ship in front of them that had withstood five or six shells but remained almost unscathed.
He was so shocked that he became incoherent.
"No, no, look carefully! That pirate flag is clearly the same one we encountered last time, right?!"
"What is that? Can you please explain it more clearly?"
The first gunner was still grieving alone, and his face was full of impatience when he heard the meaningless words beside him.
"Hey, that's it, that one!"
The sharp-eyed pirate was jumping up and down in anxiety, but he didn't know how to organize his words.
Lin Qi, who was on the other side of the boat, also realized that something was wrong. His face turned serious and he quickly ran to the other side of the deck.
Look carefully at the pirate ship in front of you, which is obviously much more gorgeous.
This feeling... is a Noble Phantasm!
That ship is a treasure!
In the entire singularity, only Blackbeard and Jason have ship-type Noble Phantasms. Although Drake is not a Heroic Spirit, the Golden Deer now has the blessing of Rune and the Holy Grail, and can barely be considered a Noble Phantasm.
Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, trying to use his eyesight to determine whose treasure the pirate ship on the opposite side belonged to.
If it's Jason's, then it's a bit of a disaster, as he will run into the boss as soon as he goes out.
But if it was Blackbeard's ship, there would be more room for maneuver.
The sight was focusing and the opposite ship was approaching, so Lin Qi easily saw a man with black hair and black beard, who looked a bit sloppy, jumping up and down on the deck.
Obviously, it was Edward Teach, the Blackbeard.
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but not by much.
After all, on his own Golden Deer, only himself and Captain Drake can be considered as servants. If he really fights against Blackbeard, he will definitely have no chance of winning.
"Big sister! The pirate flag on that ship is the same as last time!"
The pirates who reacted shouted to Drake.
"Ah, I saw it. It was the one who came out to stop us after we stole the Holy Grail from that seal, right?"
"How could I not recognize such a conspicuous pirate flag?"
Drake looked at the familiar pirate ship and his expression turned grim.
She had fought with the other party before, and she knew his strength better than Lin Qi.
As the brothers mentioned earlier, when a solid shell hits a person but he is not hurt at all, it also refreshes your worldview on him.
"Big Sister Drake, we can't defeat them head-on. Why don't we just run away?"
Fearing that his brothers would really go up and fight head-on, Lin Qi hurriedly suggested to Drake.
"I know - guys! Turn around, speed up, and get ready to run!"
Drake didn't care about his face or anything. After greeting his younger brothers, he hurried to take the helm.
"Oh——" ×N
The pirates were no longer as unfocused as before. Everyone started moving, controlling the voyage of the Golden Hind quickly and methodically.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the Golden Deer broke through the rough sea and sailed at full speed on it.
But unfortunately, the Golden Deer is not a treasure after all, and is much slower than Blackbeard's ship.
Instead of widening the distance between the two sides, they were getting closer.
......
Chapter 45 Blackbeard Teach ()
"It's over, big sister. Just like last time, there's no way to shake him off!"
Bessie looked at the approaching ship and spoke to Drake in panic.
"Fuck! That damn bearded guy's boat is really too illegal. How can he run so fast on the sea?"
Drake said with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
