Chapter 272 [Salary King]
This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style.
Like a warship sailing from a previous era.
The severely damaged paint on the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced.
?Hung above the mottled and rusted deck, a flag with a black streamer pattern hangs.
Dang! clang! clang!
??The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], causing all the crew members to step onto the deck one after another.
??Joy took the lead in discovering the menacing old warship and issued a warning.
?During Xia En''s retreat, Joey was not idle, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training.
Now she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area.
That''s when I noticed the arrival of the strange ship for the first time.
“What’s the origin of that ship?”
Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious.
“Is it coming for us?”
?Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was.
? Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already considered a big guy in the ship, like a giant beast crawling on the sea, which may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time.
?Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance.
Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of ??Annihilation].
It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan].
Enough to make ordinary ships frightened.
Not to mention being an enemy, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare.
Even during Xia En''s retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order.
??It would be okay if this strange-looking warship didn''t recognize them.
??If the Black Swan is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation.
?Things became more troublesome.
??Joy frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag."
“Furthermore, looking at its style, it doesn’t look like an official federal warship.”
Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured.
“I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere.”
“It is...the symbol of a certain country’s navy.”
?Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don''t worry about its origin."
“How should we deal with it now? Should we just shoot it?”
To be honest, Joey was a little undecided.
??If it is a pirate ship, she will definitely fire before the opponent reaches a safe distance.
But now, the enemy and the enemy of this warship are unknown, and its intentions are unclear, so Joey doesn''t know what to do.
In fact, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings.
In the past, when Sean was on the ship, they didn''t have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain''s orders.
?But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making the decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom.
?At times like this, the crew members can’t help but have an idea—
???????????????????????????????????????
?However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision.
After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Let''s shout first. If the other side still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, we will start a war directly!"
?Joy nodded and said, "Just do it."
But at this moment.
“It doesn’t have to be so troublesome.”
A deep voice sounded from the cabin.
?Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came.
??The extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepped onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all. He was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew.
?However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty.
It is a temperament belonging to a superior person, as if he has the power of life and death.
It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a kingdom.
?The overwhelming momentum almost choked everyone''s breath.
Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze and was majestic.
Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan].
?But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them.
??Can no longer be touched.
“Yan Yan…”
??Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?"
At this moment, an unknown warship not far away suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!
?Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
?Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past were finally resolved.
?Some people are so excited that they can’t help themselves, as if they are crazy.
Their cheers finally converged into one voice.
“Salary King! Salary King!”
Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked.
??Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it correctly? They were shouting... Wang Xin''s name?"
“But King Xin, hasn’t it already been...”
?Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan.
“Is this ship coming for you?”
Yan Yan did not speak, but the aura about him said everything.
“Yan Yan is the salary king?”
Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, still feels extremely ridiculous in her heart: "How could such a thing happen?"
Hearing this, An''s body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked.
It’s no wonder the crew reacted this way.
As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xin’s name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas.
Coupled with the constant excavation of the "Xinwang Treasure" and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, Xinwang''s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day.
It can be said that this salary king is a legend among legends and a king among kings!
?Just the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure] made the crew members very amazed.
How could they dare to imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but also lived with them on a ship for such a long time?
on the other hand.
?Joy and others also noticed Yan Yan’s extraordinary qualities very early.
?The kind of flame that can even ignite sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, and the characteristics of immortality... all reflect his specialness.
However, Yan Yan’s character shown in the past was too harmless to humans and animals.
?Like a big golden retriever who is only willing to help others, he is too kind and naive.
So, everyone knows that Yan Yan’s true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent.
But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man.
Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally.
?However, precisely because of Yan Yan’s character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. We don’t say it in words, but in fact, in terms of life, we always take good care of Yan Yan.
??Joy would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while cooking.
An would invite him to exercise with him using the Knight’s Breathing Technique.
When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam.
Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea.
Now, suddenly someone said to the crew——
?Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin!
The shock among the crew members can be imagined.
At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed.
“I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]!”
“Great Yan Kingdom, [Black Flame Walker]’s ship, it actually still exists on the seven seas!”
?These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin.
Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly.
"It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected."
His eyes were no longer as pure and clean as before, but seemed to have a lot of chaotic impurities added to them.
It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes.
It seems that the flame will not be completely extinguished until he himself is burned up.
Facing the Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless of heaven and earth, felt some inexplicable fear in his heart.
Even so, Xiange still opened her eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask.
“Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]?”
“Can you please stop leaving? I won’t steal your barbecue next time.”
Hearing this, Yan Yan’s eyes softened a little.
But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight alongside you."
“You don’t have to think so much, and you don’t have to carry such a heavy past.”
“But, I still have a mission that I must complete!”
"And if I continue on the [Black Swan], it will only drag you into it."
“So, I have a reason to leave.”
Hearing these words, the crew fell silent.
Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay?
At this time.
?The warship with the black flowing fire symbol has already arrived beside the [Black Swan].
?Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down towards Yan Yan.
“The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Xin!”
The faces of these crew members were all filled with enthusiasm and joy.
They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day.
During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were even more painful than ordinary people could imagine.
But the moment he saw the king, all his efforts in the past seemed to have meaning.
?Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly understood.
??Yan Yan is not only carrying his past.
It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others.
?Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path.
??Yan Yan turned around, faced the people of [Black Flame], and said calmly.
“Yes, I’m back.”
"I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas."
After saying that, his black robe lit up with an unquenchable flame, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea.
Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] feel ecstatic again.
?Their king is back!
The burning flames and scorching temperature proved that this was not their illusion, but something that actually happened!
Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea area.
It’s just that when the crew of the Black Swan looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange.
Because, that is not the Yan Yan they are familiar with.
But the King of Fire who was reborn in the flames!
If they had a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look pure and clean.
“King, what should we do with these people?”
At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at the people on the boat and whispered.
“They obviously didn’t treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment…”
"shut up."
?The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul.
He said in the most severe tone: "They are my companions."
“It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future.”
“All [Black Flame Walkers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew.”
?Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan''s attitude, no one would disobey his wishes.
The [Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison.
“Yes, my king!”
?After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to imprint the ship and the people on it in his eyes.
At this time.
From a corner of the ship, a translucent figure suddenly floated out.
“Ha…so sleepy…”
Vivian yawned, as if she hadn''t woken up yet.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and murmured in a low voice.
“Why have you grown so big? It’s so scary.”
Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan''s expression changed slightly.
In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan].
But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling that he couldn''t see through it.
One is the Bronze Dragon String Song.
The second one is this ghost lady Vivian.
??The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets.
?But even King Xin couldn’t figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him.
“Captain Shane had guessed that you might leave before, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words.”
Vivian said casually: "You don''t have to take it too seriously, just listen casually."
Yan Yan was slightly startled: "Captain, what did he say?"
Vivian recounted in Shane''s tone: "He said, no matter you are King Salary or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island."
“As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the Black Swan.”
“The mountains are high and the road is far, and the days ahead are long.”
“Friends, take care!”
