Chapter 14 That Complicated Origin

Having confirmed his idea, Fang Senyan immediately deduced another conclusion. That was, there should also be a rather complicated origin between Davy Jones and the Fogg family! Otherwise, the Fogg family's outwardly strong but inwardly weak reality concerned the family's life and death. Such a secret, unless between blood relatives like father and son, could absolutely not be easily leaked out. This could also explain why the Flying Dutchman was anchored offshore, maintaining neutrality! It was likely that Davy Jones had some kind of friendship or agreement with the Fogg family, and also knew that there wasn't much profit to be had in Tortuga, so he didn't want to wade into that muddy water!

As for Blackbeard, the captain of another legendary pirate ship, he was a cruel and suspicious fellow. He probably had some misunderstanding or contradiction with Davy Jones. Seeing the Flying Dutchman holding back, he naturally wouldn't dare to move. Because pirates were not like regular troops. Once they landed ashore and joined the ranks of plunder, it would be very difficult to bring them back. If someone with ulterior motives suddenly launched a surprise attack at that time, it could be said that defeat was certain!

These thoughts were lengthy in description, but in Fang Senyan's mind, they were just a fleeting moment. When Fang Senyan felt that Davy Jones had already shown impatience, he immediately took out Armand's silver rapier, offered it with both hands, and respectfully said:

"In addition, I will also offer you the sword of Armand, Son of the Black Sea, as proof of my submission." According to Fang Senyan's deduction, this silver rapier of Armand was not only extremely powerful, but also capable of controlling ships, and should at least be a silver storyline weapon! Its value was already difficult to measure. Moreover, from a normal perspective, all equipment had different values depending on the part of the body it was for. Generally speaking, under the same quality, weapons must be more valuable than armor... The simplicity of this principle could be understood by thinking about how many famous weapons and how few famous pieces of armor there were during the Three Kingdoms period.

If this weapon didn't have the harsh condition of having to kill Armand to use it, Fang Senyan would absolutely not have offered it to Davy Jones. His charm value was not high to begin with, and even using this direct gifting method on storyline characters would be doubly ineffective and quite uneconomical. However, once this weapon was soulbound, it would be a piece of scrap metal. Furthermore, Armand had now moved from the open to the shadows, making it undoubtedly more difficult to plot against him again, and he also harbored a deep hatred for Fang Senyan!

Therefore, for Fang Senyan, firstly, he didn't have the certainty of being able to kill this guy in a long time. Secondly, it was impossible to say when he would enter this world again after leaving. So, instead of having a silver storyline weapon that was completely useless by his side, it would be better to convert it into immediate combat power at a discount.

The moment the silver storyline weapon appeared, Davy Jones was finally moved. He handed the miniature fish tank he was holding to a nearby pirate, stepped forward quickly, and then grasped the hilt of the silver rapier. At the moment his palm grasped this soulbound weapon, a dazzling silver light burst out, so much so that Davy Jones couldn't hold the weapon steady, took half a step back, and dropped it to the ground with a "clang".

The loyal pirates beside him were immediately shocked. Some of them impatiently drew their cutlasses and shouted at Fang Senyan, obviously believing that Fang Senyan was likely playing some conspiracy to harm their boss. Only Davy Jones was not surprised but delighted. He laughed loudly, waved his hand to stop his men, and then looked at Fang Senyan with a satisfied nod.

"Boy, well done. From now on, you are one of the Flying Dutchman's crew. I heard that you're a good worker and know something about navigation. It just so happens that Callis was badly injured by those Spanish pigs and probably can't be a pirate anymore. Stay on the ship and be a temporary third mate—remember, if you're even a little bit unqualified, I'll kick you off."

For these pirates, betrayal and killing were commonplace, so they didn't have any resistance to Davy Jones appointing Fang Senyan, a betrayer. The third mate's duties were first to assist the first mate in various overall planning and coordination, and then to assist the navigator in the remaining time. This was something Fang Senyan was familiar with.

Seeing Davy Jones's reaction, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was gambling: This silver rapier of Armand was an extremely precious silver storyline weapon, but for him at this time, it was a piece of scrap metal—the most important thing was that Davy Jones had to think the same way! Otherwise, it was difficult to guess what this hot-tempered pirate captain would do. After all, there was also Old Barry, the second mate, on the ship, whom Fang Senyan had extorted to the point of almost losing his pants.

But now Fang Senyan could put aside his worries. Obviously, Davy Jones was very satisfied with Fang Senyan's gift, and at the same time, he received a prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:

Side mission: Approaching Legend (completed) Mission description: Board the deck of any one of the Black Pearl/Flying Dutchman/Nemean/Endeavour and become one of their crew.

Mission description: You have obtained the permission of Davy Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman, and successfully become the temporary third mate of the legendary ship, the Flying Dutchman. Do you want to receive the relevant mission reward? Yes/No.

Fang Senyan chose "Yes."

You have received 1000 general points.

Your reputation among the pirates has increased by 3000 points (indirectly caused the destruction of the Bell and Mug +500 points, directly related to the death of First Mate Scarface Henry +500 points, obtained the treasure of Tortuga Fortress +500 points, became the temporary third mate of the Flying Dutchman +1500 points). Your current reputation is: Respected (1113/6000). You have received 2 merit points.

Your current accumulated merit points are 6 points.

Hint: You have twenty-one hours, fifteen minutes, and forty seconds left until the final deadline to leave this world. You can choose to continue exploring in this world during this time, or you can end your actions and return to the Nightmare Space at any time. It must be noted that you cannot return to the Nightmare Space in a combat state.

Hint: "Your merit points exceed 5 points, your identity has been improved, and you have been appointed as a recruit." "Your Nightmare Imprint has obtained the following permission improvements." "You can purchase relevant rank items at any time in the Nightmare Space." "Your personal storage space capacity has increased by 10%."

Warning: When your total number of merit points drops below 5 points, the permission improvement effect you have currently obtained will disappear, and the identity improvement you have obtained will be removed.

Fang Senyan looked at this series of prompts. Obviously, the difficulty of this side mission was quite high, but it only gave a mere 1000 general points, so the extra reward was obviously in those two merit points. Fang Senyan hadn't quite understood what merit points were yet. It seemed that they were linked to things like military ranks, and were a symbol of identity. However, so far, Fang Senyan had only received two merit points after completing this mission, which showed how precious they were.

Davy Jones's mood obviously became very good after getting Armand's rapier. The few boxes of wealth that Fang Senyan brought were indeed not in his eyes. He directly waved his hand and told his subordinates to divide them up. At this time, Fang Senyan could see clearly that the treasure chests engraved with the Fogg family crest looked full, but other than the few layers of valuables on the surface, the bottom was full of piastres (a French silver coin that was relatively low in value because lead and tin were mixed in during the manufacturing process). Estimating the price, the overall value was probably only tens of thousands of pounds. These things might be a huge sum for ordinary pirates, but for the legendary pirate Davy Jones, they were indeed not worth looking at.

When Fang Senyan's reputation was raised to Respected, he clearly felt that the attitudes of some of the surrounding pirates had changed greatly. For example, some guys who looked fierce and unruly would take the initiative to avoid him when they saw him. Second Mate Old Barry, although he ignored him and didn't give him a good look, he also arranged a single cabin that looked pretty good for him.

There were even two pirates named Raven and Sata, probably because their surnames were more compatible with Fang Senyan, so despite Fang Senyan's low charm, they took the initiative to please him. There were at least several hundred pirates on the entire pirate ship, but Fang Senyan only had two people come to please him because of the remaining power of the third mate. This also showed that surnames were really a rare and unachievable small probability event.

How could Fang Senyan miss this kind of good thing that came to his door? Although this pirate ship was still normal now, Fang Senyan knew that not only would the captain Davy Jones of this ship become a sea monster in the future, but even this ship would have its own life. It could be called the most妖异 and the most powerful ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, without exception! So how could the strength of the sailors on it be weak? He had learned two whole levels of basic abilities from Blind Matt on the Bell and Mug. At this time, he could still stay in this world for nearly a day. If he was lucky, it was not impossible to improve one or two more levels of basic abilities.

Those who could gain a firm foothold on this legendary pirate ship, the Flying Dutchman, were all quite strong. For example, although Raven and Sata were the most ordinary sailors on the ship, after Fang Senyan used the "Insight" ability, he realized that Raven's basic prayer had actually reached Lv4, and its specific effects were ???, Special ability: Can communicate with crows and command crow actions, very suitable for being a scout or conducting remote harassment. The only thing that could be seen about the other one, Sata, was "Advanced Ability Thrust". This ability was explained as gathering the strength of the whole body at the tip of the weapon in the hand and thrusting it out, with high damage. But the openings were also very large.
