Bad guys should be beaten!

"Ugh——!"

Asterios roared, pulled his head out of the stone, and looked angrily at Lin Qi beside him.

He kicked the ground like a bull and was about to launch another bull charge.

A voice suddenly came from not far away.

"You big fool over there! Be smart and don't hurt my Xiao Lin, otherwise..."

"You don't want this little girl to get hurt, do you?"

Drake pointed the musket at Euryale's head and looked at Asterios with a smile.

The face of the held hostage Yurielle was very ugly.

……

Chapter 51 Another party!

Apparently, Drake's threats were quite effective.

Even though Asterios wanted to run over and knock Drake away, he had to stay where he was, grimacing and staring at her with a fierce but non-lethal look.

"Vile! Unreasonable! Rude! You ugly overgrown woman!"

Euryale's pretty little face turned red, and she used all her life's knowledge to insult Drake who kidnapped her to threaten the Mavericks.

"Um, someone said that you curse like you're acting like a spoiled child?"

Derek scratched his head.

"Besides, we are pirates. It would be more appropriate to say that you are praising us rather than scolding us - except for the last sentence, which I am a little concerned about."

"Well……"

Yurielle was furious again, but her swearing vocabulary was limited and she could only glare at Drake angrily.

"Hiss, don't look at me like that. At least you should use a more fierce look, right? You always make me feel like I'm bullying a child."

Drake also felt a headache when he saw Yurielle like this.

"...I don't think there's any need for us to be so tense."

After taking two breaths, Lin Qi placed his right hand in front of him and showed the Command Seal on the back of his hand to Yurielle.

……

After listening to Lin Qi's story, the atmosphere between the two sides finally became harmonious.

"...After all this time, it turns out you guys are not in the same group with that disgusting guy?"

Hearing this, Yurielle suddenly understood.

"Disgusting guy?"

Drake was a little confused.

"It's Blackbeard. He likes little goddesses like Euryale more than women like you, big sister. He behaves a little abnormally after meeting Euryale."

Lin Qi gave a brief explanation.

"He's not just slightly perverted, he's very perverted! I've never seen a guy who makes others feel uncomfortable if he takes one more breath!"

Yurielle recalled Blackbeard's appearance before and couldn't help but shudder while hugging her shoulders.

An expression of disgust appeared on his face.

In this regard, Lin Qi could only say that Yurielle had never seen some of the outrageous remarks on the Internet, otherwise she would at least have some resistance.

——But then again, in real life, people are generally not as open-minded as Blackbeard.

Blackbeard also makes good use of his appearance, and likes to use his two-meter-tall height to make various awkward poses, which can make people's scalp tingle just by looking at it. (He is indeed more than two meters tall, if his personal information is correct)

"Forget it, let's not talk about that disgusting thing. What are you going to do next?"

Yurielle shook her head, threw the black beard out of her head, and then changed the subject.

"I remember you said you were attacked by Blackbeard and managed to escape here. What are your plans for the future?"

"Of course I have to fight back! Damn it, I got beaten so badly by that bastard. If I don't fight back, I won't have any more time at sea!"

Drake pumped his fist vigorously and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Also, we need to help Xiaolin. He is busy saving the world, and the Holy Grail on Blackbeard is necessary."

Drake pointed his thumb at Lin Qi behind him and said with a hearty smile:

"And Xiaolin was very impressive in the previous battle. If it weren't for him, my crew would have suffered heavy losses, right?"

"Besides, he calls me Big Sister, how can I not help him?"

Hearing Drake's words, Lin Qi scratched his head awkwardly, a blush appearing on his fair face.

"So you want to board my ship? With just a few of us, we are no match for that bastard Blackbeard."

"But it would be different if you were included. I heard from Xiaolin that you seem to be a god of a very high status."

Drake finally showed his true colors and extended his hand to invite Euryale, with a smile on his face without any embarrassment at all.

Even though she was pointing the gun at the head of the goddess in front of her just now.

"You are so greedy and bold that you actually want to invite a goddess to your ship."

Looking at the calm Drake, Yurielle sighed softly.

"So what is the goddess' answer?"

"Well, although I am not opposed to boarding your ship, after all, Asterios's labyrinth was destroyed by you by mistake, but as a goddess, I may not be as powerful as you think. I may not even be able to defeat ordinary servants."

Yurielle said in mock distress.

"But I remember your Noble Phantasm seems to have a special attack against men, right? If it is used well, it should also have some good effects."

Lin Qi suddenly interrupted.

"Hmm? Are you also aware of my Noble Phantasm? Are we actually very familiar with each other?"

Yurielle blinked and looked at Lin Qi suspiciously.

She shouldn't have exposed her Noble Phantasm.

"No, if we met, it must have been our first time. I just saw it with my eyes. You can assume that I have a very high level of future vision."

Lin Qi explained casually.

"Future vision? If it's a high-level future vision, it's not impossible..."

Yurielle nodded in understanding, and without further investigating, she changed the subject and said:

"And what about Asterios? Do you want to invite him on board as well?"

"Ugh...?"

Hearing that he was being talked about, Asterios looked up blankly.

"Of course! Right now we are in need of strong fighting power in every sense. Even if you don't mention it, I will drag a big guy like him on board!"

Drake said as a matter of course.

The previous battle had already proved that their fighting power was totally insufficient, and it was only thanks to Lin Qi's desperate struggle that they managed to escape unscathed.

If he could absorb two suitable fighting forces now, Drake would wake up with a smile in his dreams.

"They're quite good at talking... Well, you heard it, so do you want to come on board with me? They look pretty nice."

Euryale turned to look at Asterios.

"Wherever you go, I will go."

Asterios said in a muffled voice.

His mind is not full of twists and turns. He will listen to whoever treats him well, and Yurielle happens to be the best person to him right now.

"Then I'll leave it to you to take care of it, Captain?"

After understanding Asterios's idea, Euryale nodded with satisfaction and winked at Drake.

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Drake patted his chest and said without hesitation.

The Maverick's maze is not like the treasure in the game that can even reduce Goetia's attack power to a minimum. It is just a simple maze that can prevent people from finding themselves.

Not to mention whether pulling a long enough string can solve the maze, even taking an A-level light cannon-type treasure can destroy most of his maze.

This has been almost confirmed by the Golden Deer that fell from the sky.

Therefore, for Yuri and Ellie, this maze cannot be considered safe, and cooperation is the most suitable option for both parties.

"Phew, I don't need to say more..."

Seeing that things were back on track, Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what do we do next? Should we continue to go out to sea?"

Yurielle looked around.

"Hehe, of course it's - a party!"

Drake glanced at the darkening sky, deliberately lengthened his voice, and then suddenly raised his voice.

"what?"

Yurielle obviously hasn't figured out Drake's logic yet and looks confused.

"Yeah! It's a party!"

But the other pirates had already cheered skillfully.

"Wait, didn't we just have a party yesterday and just go out to sea this morning?"

A pirate discovered the Huadian.

"Idiot! You have to hold a party after you win, when a new member joins, and when you escape successfully. Anyway, you have to hold a party whenever you are happy. That's the way to be healthy!"

"Understand?"

"Oh~! I understand. We're just going to have a party, right?"

This pirate looked very clever.

"..."

"Have they always been like this?"

Yurielle pointed at the pirates who were already in a frenzy and asked Lin Qi, the only normal person.

"Well, maybe. It's quite interesting anyway."

Lin Qi shrugged.

……

Chapter 52 Set sail again.

As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the boundless sky, and the stars are like scattered diamonds, embellishing the deep night sky.

In an open space, a huge bonfire was burning. The flames sometimes gently licked the night breeze, and sometimes rushed towards the sky violently, making a "crackling" sound.

The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and various delicacies, as well as some alcohol.

Around the campfire, the pirates were singing, dancing, chatting and bragging. A little further away from the campfire were tables and chairs that the pirates had brought from somewhere.

Under the firelight, everyone's faces were illuminated red, and the atmosphere was as lively as the last banquet.

Sitting on the edge, Yurielle, who didn't want to join the men's carnival, just supported her face and looked at them, drinking the wine in the glass casually.

Asterios was very happy. He sat cross-legged on the ground with a silly smile on his face. He watched the pirates' actions intently, listened to their singing, and clapped his hands from time to time.
