Chapter 148 Justifiable Defense
After dealing with the harassment of gangsters on the island all night, everyone in the fleet woke up as usual the next morning, as if nothing had happened.
Residents living on this island are used to seeing wind and waves. There was such a big movement last night, thunder and screams. When they got up this morning, they found that the surroundings were still the same when they walked out of the hotel.
No one came to care about what happened yesterday, and no one came to ask where the people who were taken into the room by them had gone. It seemed that as long as it had nothing to do with them, the people here would live the same way when the sky fell.
In the morning, the hotel owner prepared breakfast for everyone in the fleet as usual. He turned a blind eye to the several large bags that the navigator Sible brought out of the room one after another.
This made Mu once again realize how aggressive the island folks are who are willing to receive pirates...
At the same time, after a night of free play, Sibul has successfully pried out the whereabouts of the gang's funds from the mouth of the gang boss.
This allowed them to finally have money to repair the boat.
Afterwards, they found the dock on the island. After they had money, the service attitude they received immediately became very different.
"Oh, generous guests, you are here really early, the weather is nice today, would you like a cup of coffee first?"
You remember the last time you came here, let alone coffee, you drove them away without even asking them to say a word.
While skillfully wearing a business-like smirk and being courteous to the owner of the dock, Sible did not forget to turn his head and whisper an explanation to Mu.
"Dockyards, piers and transit chambers of commerce are the few projects on the island that are directly operated by the forces behind the island. It is best not to conflict with them unless necessary."
Mu Ping nodded.
He was not a violent person who liked to fight and kill.
Last night that was self-defense at best.
Anyway, those who objected have already been stuffed into their pockets and sunk in the sea, and no one will jump out to question the legitimacy of the defense...
After paying the first deposit, people from the dock came to ask about their requirements.
Mubi rowed on the deck of the Black Pearl, and explained: "The mast needs to be repaired, and the position of the buildings on the ship also needs to be adjusted."
Adjusting the position of the building on the ship is not a small project, and the person in charge of the dock couldn't help asking: "Can I ask why it needs to be adjusted? Are there any specific requirements? For example, does the building need to be enlarged or heightened?"
Mu replied: "There is no requirement, as long as it is different from the original one."
"Clam?"
The people at the dock listened with question marks.
What kind of request is this?
However, after repeated confirmation, Mu still insisted on only this requirement.
He really just needs to be different from the original.
Because changing the building arrangement above the deck is the most intuitive way to change the appearance of a ship without changing the large structure of the ship.
The Black Pearl had already been captured by Bogsard once before, no matter whether the other party remembered the appearance of their ship or not, there was no wrong way to defend.
No amount of caution can be overstated when facing a general.
……
The overall restoration of the entire ship and the overhaul of the building would take quite a while, which forced Mu and the others to stay on the island for a longer period of time.
Fortunately, the final support from the gangsters that night was very generous, and they are still able to survive, and board and lodging are not a problem.
In the first few days, the Black Pearl fleet almost became the most famous people on the island. When they went out during the day, they would often hear people pointing at them.
However, after just over a week, this phenomenon subsided considerably.
Every day a new group of pirates would enter the port, new fights and brawls would break out every day, and then there would be a new large bag the height of a person on the cliff behind the port that would be filled with gravel and thrown into the sea.
The old gangsters fall, and soon the gangsters will choose a new boss, re-divide the territory, and then the protection fees that should be collected will still be the same, and the business that should be done will still be done in the same way.
No matter how heavy the rain and thunder that night, everything will eventually be washed away. After that, everything will remain the same, and nothing will change.
Because this is the order of the Shaju Islands, a holy place for pirates...
During this period, Li Cha, the only survivor of the gang that night, was completely recruited by the Black Pearl.
He himself has no right to comment on this...
During this time, Li Mu often came to ask him about divination and the use of superpowers.
It feels like Li Cha's poor family stock is almost exhausted...
"Divination may seem mysterious, but it's actually just a way of using superpowers. Humans usually draw the trajectory pattern of energy movement, use astrolabe, dice and other tools to complete the deduction layout, and finally hand it over to superpowers. The spirit provides energy and draws the final deduction result."
Mu listened carefully.
For some reason this reminded him of computer code from a previous life.
The "code farmer" has written all the calculation "codes" in advance, and finally handed over to the wizard to complete the power supply and signal input, and finally get the calculation results.
Such an explanation sounds a lot like that.
"Why can't the elves arrange the astrolabe directly?" Mu asked.
Richard explained: "The layout of divination is very complicated. A qualified fortune-teller needs to study for a long time to master it. If humans are like this, how can elves complete such a complicated project?"
He said it with absolute certainty, and obviously believed it deeply.
But Mu glanced at the dull-eyed, empty-eyed hippo next to him, and the gem starfish lying on the ground lazily basking in the sun, without hands and feet, and always felt that the external interference factors of this theory were a bit too big, and it seemed unreliable.
"Then why don't you show me once?"
Li Cha smiled wryly: "Captain, what do you want to divination?"
Mu then threw out a scale that had just been picked off Kuailong's body, "Just tell where the owner of this scale is now."
Li Cha took the scales, placed them in the center of the astrolabe, and then started a series of operations that were incomprehensible.
After a fierce operation, Li Cha handed over the astrolabe to the dumb hippo to inject energy, then pondered for a long time, and pointed to the right side of the room, "He...should...maybe...probably...in that direction."
"..."
Mu didn't say anything, just raised his finger and pointed to the left window in the opposite direction.
Outside the window, Kuailong was lying on the balcony looking at the house with great interest like a curious baby.
Ever since Li Cha started operating, he never moved his butt.
"Are you sure that what you just did was correct."
Li Cha resisted the embarrassment and replied: "Yes, Captain... I do operate according to the methods taught by my family."
"alright."
Mu Guo took the astrolabe and threw it together with the scales and dice on it to Kirulian who was watching enthusiastically, said.
"Xiaoqi, try it."
