"Captain Green Skull, your friend Red Beard..."
As soon as Cooper saw the letterhead, he knew that Red Beard had mistaken him for Green Skull, but it was almost the same. Cooper inherited all of Green Skull's wealth, wore Green Skull's cloak, used Green Skull's collection, and drove Green Skull's ship. If he said he was not Green Skull now, no one would believe him. He took a quick look at the letter and saw that Red Beard wanted to talk to him, so he asked the pirate messenger to reply that he would go to the agreed place on the letter on time.
After the pirates left, Rudolph came out of the cabin: "Since the master invited you, you can go and have a look. Anyway, you are immortal, so you can go as you please, even if Red Beard has any evil intentions."
"I think so too. It's great to be a level 5 zombie, and I don't have to be timid anymore." Cooper asked: "How is the Bauhinia?"
Just now, Rudolph was in the cabin and used the bat to look at the Bauhinia. He said: "Everything looks normal, but it's a bit crowded around, and many ships are crowded on that pier."
"Okay, then we will go to deal with Red Beard first."
The guide boat appeared and directed the Green Skull to go into the port. An entire pier was cleared to receive the Green Skull alone. Three carriages stopped on the pier, waiting for the Green Skull and his party.
The Green Skull looked at the three carriages: "Not enough."
The pirates beside him hurried to contact other carriages. Legend has it that the Green Skull is very cold, and the voice coming out of the hood is very strange, not like what a human can make. The buzzing sound echoed with an unusually low and hoarse sound.
Soon, three more spacious carriages arrived at the pier. The Green Skull sat in the first carriage, and the other corpses were wearing cloaks and sat in the five carriages behind. The cloaks of these corpses were attached with burial techniques to avoid detection by others.
Rudolph, who was squeezed in a carriage with more than a dozen corpses, cursed under his cloak.
Cooper was different after being upgraded to level 5, and the grade was higher. As the protagonist, was Rudolph squeezed with other corpses like a follower? Is this reasonable?
Rudolph pushed the corpse next to him: "Brother, you are obviously a corpse, why are you hot? Can you turn it to cooling mode? You look too much like a living person and I am afraid."
The corpse looked aggrieved: "Mr. Rudolph, I can generate the power of the apostles myself, and these apostles' powers can be turned into heat with very simple zombie magic. If there is no heat, I will feel cold."
"Okay, okay! Don't look at me with such aggrieved and anthropomorphic expressions!"
The six carriages went all the way to the center of Red Beard Island. Their goal was Red Beard's granite castle.
Rudolph lifted the curtains a little and observed the city on Red Beard Island. There were wooden sheds everywhere, and dirty pirates lived in those sheds.
Bathing with sea water is very uncomfortable, and fresh water is the most precious material on the ship. Many pirates will not take a bath for more than half a year at sea. Gradually, they forget the feeling of cleanliness and their bodies are covered with old dirt and sour smell. However, the pirates have gotten used to it and don't feel uncomfortable.
Occasionally, there will be some tall two- or three-story buildings. These buildings are casinos, taverns, and the romantic places that Cooper is now seeking but cannot get.
Thinking of this, Rudolf felt that it was okay to squeeze in with the corpse. Cooper was more miserable.
A very majestic castle stood at the end of the avenue. It was Red Beard's castle.
At the gate of the castle, more than a dozen women with heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes were waiting at the doorway to welcome the Green Skull.
"This is such a bad taste. Can't we find a few women of better quality in the entire Red Beard Island? If it doesn't work, find a few abstinence priests. The abstinence priests have a very high standard."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the castle. The women couldn't help shivering, and the temperature around them dropped a few degrees.
"Is it patting the horse's hooves? Green Skull can't see women now. It's sad to see them."
The corpse next to him couldn't help it anymore. He said, "Mr. Rudolf, Mr. Cooper asked you to stop talking."
This corpse must have filtered Cooper's words into a pure version. It's unknown what the original words were.
"Okay, I won't say it. Cooper has been promoted to level 5. Our safety is greatly guaranteed, which makes me feel relaxed. Tell Cooper for me that I will never mention his sad things again." "Mr. Cooper said he wasn't sad about anything!"
"I understand. As a man, you can be soft in other places, but you must be tough in your mouth."
The corpse didn't dare to move, even though he received the order to move.
Mr. Rudolph could even kill the original owner, the real Green Skull, and it was even easier for him to disappear in an instant. The new owner, Mr. Cooper, had not experienced the difficult process of collecting corpses, and did not cherish the corpses so much. Mr. Cooper might not care if he disappeared.
"Mr. Rudolph, Red Beard actually prepared women. The master asked me to ask you if you are angry here. Is this what Red Beard did on purpose?"
"Let Cooper go back and take a good look at Green Skull's diary. I have seen all the records. After Green Skull was promoted, he didn't want others to know that he couldn't touch women, so for a while he deliberately brought a large group of beauties from various ethnic groups with him. Men, they all care about face. I guess Red Beard's impression of Green Skull still remains at that time, so he prepared so many women here. Oh my God, how much perfume did they spray? It's choking."
Green Skull did not let the women enter his carriage, but let these women go away.
After the carriage entered the castle, they saw Red Beard waiting in the city wall, seemingly eagerly waiting for the Green Skull.
Cooper's collection was left in the carriage, and Cooper went to the banquet alone.
Red Beard welcomed Cooper in enthusiastically. As for what happened inside, the corpse next to Rudolf would faithfully relay it.
There was a banquet hall in the castle, and there were carpets in the banquet hall, but the carpets were very dirty and had never been cleaned since they were laid. It was better not to lay them, because they smelled very bad.
Cooper discovered that the carpets smelled because the druid on the opposite side kept pinching his nose, and Cooper had an impression of that druid!
It was the druid from the Carolingian Kingdom who came to hunt witches after leaving Kordor Port! The druid who could use hurricanes!
···
On this night, a pirate ship was sailing in the night fog in the waters of Sea Burial Island, a few days away from Red Beard Island.
The sea fog was very large and thick, and it was endless. The further forward the captain went, the more he felt something was wrong. This ship also flew a red scimitar flag, and it was a pirate ship under the command of Red Beard.
After advancing for a long time in the thick fog, the captain finally realized something: "There is the sea burial island near here! Be careful of the undercurrent!"
After a while, the first mate reported: "Captain, there is no undercurrent, everything is normal."
"The lack of undercurrent proves that we are still far away from the sea burial island, leave this sea area as soon as possible."
After they sailed for several hours, the first mate suddenly entered the captain's room: "Captain, there is an island ahead!"
"How can there be an island? There is no island nearby!" What the captain did not explain was that unless you encounter the sea burial island, there is no land in the nearby sea.
When the captain came to the deck, he did see an island.
"It looks like an ordinary island with an ordinary town on it."
Not long after, the little pirate ran back from the town howling.
"What are you calling? What did you encounter?"
"Captain! Captain! There is nothing! There is no one in the town! And the doors and floors of all the houses have been demolished!"
The captain scratched his head, what was going on?
He suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Go back to Red Beard Island! This might be the Burial Island! Something might have happened on the Burial Island. Let Red Beard Father take a look!"
When the other pirates found the densely packed tombstones, they knew that this was indeed the Burial Island. However, for some reason, there were no corpses on the Burial Island, let alone the green skulls in the legend.
