Chapter 3974 The Song of the Purple Moon (25)
"...Let me sort this out."
[Gold] Shaq took a deep breath at this moment.
He frowned, staring at the youthful-looking [Coribus]. "You mean, [Jack Spalla] once entered this temple and promised you he would find a way to break your seal, but so much time has passed and that guy still hasn't appeared... right?"
The pink-haired little girl… [Corybuscher] frowned, seemingly displeased, and said, “Is it interesting to repeat what I said?”
"How did Jack Sparrow get in here?" [Gold] Shaq frowned again.
—Jack Sparrow, the former captain of the Black Pearl…and one of the Nine Pirate Kings?
“How would I know?” [Cornebusor] said impatiently, “Jack is a lying bastard. I was sealed into a statue and have no way of sensing the outside world. Even if he says he crawled in through a hole, I have no way to prove it.”
[Gold] Shaq shrugged. "He is indeed a lying bastard, that's universally acknowledged... So, what's with this map?"
【Cornebusor】at this moment, looked at Captain 【Lo】 with a surprised expression and said, "You are the one who replaced 【Jack Sparrow】 as the captain of the 【Black Pearl】 and found this map in the corner of the cabin?"
"That's roughly how it went," Captain Luo said with a slight smile. "I won't go into the details."
"That bastard, he really didn't intend to keep his promise!" [Coribus] immediately revealed a look of gritted teeth... However, because she was in her child form at the moment, she looked cute and fierce.
Ah Xiruo's heart stirred, "What agreement did you make with him...? What will he get in return for coming to free you?"
[Coribuso] said calmly, "I promised him that as long as he frees me, I will tell him the location of the artifact [Trigger Trident]. You are pirates too, you should know the value of the [Trigger Trident]."
Not only did he know, but at this moment, even [Golden] Shaq couldn't control his breathing, which became quite heavy!
He chuckled and said, "Forget about Jack or not, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not! We're the ones who've freed you! We've replaced that bastard Jack Sparrow, so telling me the whereabouts of the Trident won't change anything."
“You?” [Colibusor] glanced at [Golden] Shaq with disdain, shook her head and said, “The one who made the agreement with me was [Jack Sparrow], not you. What I promised him, I didn’t promise you… nor did I ask you to release me.”
"Huh?" [Gold] Shaq couldn't help but sneer. "You'd better think it through before you say it again."
What to do in this situation?
Of course, don't rush, then send a... then send a wave, beat the ignorant little girl until she cries first—although the momentum when the seal was lifted was very grand, at this moment [Gold] Shaq could not sense any power from the pink-haired little girl at all.
Just as he was about to put this idea into action,
“You’re definitely not up to the task, but…” [Colibusor] shook her head again, looking at Shaq with a firm and disdainful expression. Then her gaze suddenly fell on Captain [Lo], and after thinking for a moment, she said, “But if it were him, he would be suitable.”
[Luo] The captain merely blinked, and the maid was used to this kind of thing—ah, Xi Ruo was even more direct, rolling her eyes... Here it comes, this bastard's self-propelled succubus attribute...
"...Why don't I believe it? He...my brother can do it?!" [Gold] Shaq frowned, but remained composed.
【Cornebusor】looked at her like she was an idiot and said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because he's better looking than you! Haven't you heard that the soul's perception begins with lust at first sight? Do you think you'd go into heat with a pig?"
Lord Shak's lips twitched slightly as he suppressed his anger. "...Fine, then you can tell him the whereabouts of the Trident."
“Then you should leave a bit,” [Cornebusor] said directly. “I can only say this to him. Never mind… everyone else, please leave for now!”
[Gold] Shaq shrugged and was even the first to leave.
He was simply too lazy to bother with this pink-haired girl—given that she was willing to reveal the whereabouts of the [Trigger Trident]... Once she revealed the location of the artifact... ha!
"Then, Master, Bai Zhi and I will wait for you outside," the maid said softly, and then she and Bai Zhi went ahead without hesitation.
Ah Xi Ruo didn't speak, but just looked at Boss Luo with a strange look, and returned along the passage she came from with a face full of suspicion.
“You’d better not even think about eavesdropping.” [Colybuso]’s voice suddenly rang out. “What I know… if anyone is eavesdropping, then I won’t tell him.”
After everyone except Captain [Lo] had left, [Cornebusor] looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Aren't you afraid that I deliberately sent them away to do something to you?"
"Don't be afraid." Captain Luo smiled slightly.
【Coribus】circled around Captain 【Lo】with great interest, a deep look appearing on her youthful face... which was quite comical. "Why aren't you afraid? You wouldn't be like that guy named Shaq, looking down on me just because you can't sense my power, would you? Let me tell you, guys who have only learned some rudimentary 【rule-based divine techniques】don't know what real power is."
Captain Luo replied noncommittally, "Are you going to tell me the whereabouts of the Trident of Neptune?"
【Coribus】paused for a moment, then clutched her stomach, looking like she was about to burst out laughing, “…Should I say you’re naive, or stupid? You really believe I would tell you the whereabouts of an artifact of that level?”
Captain Luo replied, "Because once I've promised someone something, I'll do it."
【Coribus】sneered as if looking at something new: "As a void pirate, you are surprisingly noble. But unfortunately, I do know the whereabouts of the 【Trigger Trident】... But why should I tell you instead of digging it out myself? After all, I am free now."
As she spoke, [Cornebuso] chuckled softly, and her small body seemed to melt away in an instant, turning into a puddle of liquid before disappearing into the crack in the ground.
"Goodbye, naive little one... Don't trust people so easily next time." [Cornebusor's] voice rang out slowly. "I'll miss you, after all, you're much more handsome than [Jack Sparrow], that guy is just too ugly!"
"Hmm." Captain Luo let out a slow sigh... and simply snapped his fingers.
The next moment, it was as if a spring had suddenly been dug out of the crack in the ground, and a stream of water suddenly gushed out... and gathered into shape, revealing the pink-haired little girl who had disappeared!
【Cornebuso】opened her mouth in bewilderment... Could it be that she had been sealed as a statue for too long and had become clumsy?
What's going on?
"Ms. Collybuso, are you going to tell me the whereabouts of the artifact?"
"No, didn't I just say..." [Colibusor]'s expression suddenly changed slightly, "Wait! You... Who are you?!"
"Since you've agreed, you should fulfill your promise," Captain Luo said calmly. "A verbal agreement is still an agreement."
“You fool who doesn’t know what’s good for him…” [Cornebuso]’s pupils suddenly contracted, and she waved her hand sharply… but there was nothing there! This left the pink-haired girl stunned once again.
There should have been a pure stream of primordial water energy gathering, transforming into a primordial water arrow that shot out and pierced through the opponent's body!
"Methods like ability nullification?" [Coribus] instantly considered many possibilities, her expression growing increasingly grim. "Who exactly... are you?"
“A Void Pirate, huh?” Captain [Lo] said casually. “If you’re referring to a rookie pirate kid who’s just started out.”
"..." [Colibusor] didn't expect to be met with such a retort, and said with slight anger, "You think you can make me compromise like this? I'll show you what a true [Rules of Divine Skill] is, not those inferior imitations from after the New God Era!"
"It seems you're not going to honor the agreement." Captain [Lo] sighed slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this? Although you offered to tell me, I don't want to make things difficult for you... Let's go back to how things were originally. You didn't promise to tell me the whereabouts of the artifact, and we didn't rescue you... What do you think?"
"What did you say?" [Cornebusor] frowned.
“Just like that.” Captain [Lo] chuckled softly.
[Cornebuso]'s body suddenly seemed to go out of control, and she automatically walked towards the original location of the statue's base... just a few steps away!
【Cornebuso】From being stunned to being shocked to being horrified, she stepped onto the pedestal again, even adopting the half-kneeling posture she had when she was sealed!
"How can this be……"
Her body began to turn gray little by little... petrifying, and it was petrifying very quickly, covering most of her body in the blink of an eye!
When the petrification had reached her neck, [Cornebusor] finally screamed, completely losing her composure, "Wait...wait a minute, I'll tell you!! I'll tell you everything!!!"
—If you have this ability, you should have said so earlier!
—I don't want to go back to those dark, hopeless, and immobile times that were sealed away!
[Gold] Shaq didn't have a chance to make the pink-haired little girl cry - but the pink-haired little girl is already crying from fright.
……
"Out!"
[Gold] Shaq immediately narrowed his eyes.
Then, [Brother Xian] slowly walked out of the passage... As for the pink-haired, youthful [Corybusch], she hugged her arms tightly and followed [Brother Xian] very cautiously.
—This "brother" is truly mysterious.
—Another day without being able to eavesdrop!
At this moment, not only did [Brother] bring him a map, but he also found out the whereabouts of [Neptune's Trident]... [Golden] Shaq felt that he had another reason to be inseparable from [Brother] - what a treasure of a boy!
He reacted even faster than the maid, rushing forward with a concerned expression: "Brother, are you alright? Did that pink-haired girl try anything funny? Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson for you!"
"...Don't do anything rash!" [Coribus] immediately bit her lip and shrank her neck. "I've already told him everything I know about the whereabouts of the artifact!"
"Brother, is it true?" [Gold] Shaq asked impatiently, "Where is the [Trigger Trident] hidden?"
Captain Luo smiled and said, "Brother Shak, there's no rush... After all, we came here to find the treasure of the Sea God, and the treasure is still nowhere to be found. We have to take things one step at a time, don't you think?"
[Gold] Shaq slapped his forehead. "How can we say we're half-brothers! My dear brother, what you just said is exactly what I was thinking! No rush, no rush, let's find the [Sea God] treasure first!"
"...What [Sea God] treasure?" [Coribus] looked up in surprise, instinctively asking, "You...you haven't made a mistake, have you?"
"What's going on?" Ah Xiruo frowned. "The map led us here... Logically speaking, even if you don't know the exact location of the treasure, you should at least know some clues, right?"
[Corybusch] shook her head. "I haven't heard of any treasure. Knowing [Karybusch] as I do, she would never have the habit of leaving behind treasure."
Ah Xi Ruo exclaimed in surprise, "You know a lot about the Sea God? Oh, right... you two are rivals in love."
—No, even if they are rivals in love, they might not necessarily understand each other, right?
She glanced at Cong Congrong without thinking, and then walked over to the maid waiting next to Boss Luo—Ah Xi Ruo had absolutely no idea about this heartless woman.
"I told you, Davy Jones and I are not lovers at all!" Corybuscher retorted, as if her temper had flared. "I don't know where you heard that from! I'll only say it once: Davy Jones has always loved only Karithorp!"
Having already devoured the "Karithorpe Secret History" and shipped the wrong pairing, "Golden" Shaq is still unwilling to give up, asking, "Then what's your relationship with Davy Jones?"
“I have no obligation to tell you.” [Colibusser] shrugged.
[Gold] Shaq shrugged. "I know the rules! Then tell my brother!"
Unexpectedly, Shaq's casual remark actually seemed to have stunned the pink-haired girl.
[Cornebusor] glanced timidly at Captain [Lo] and said weakly, "You...you really want to know?"
—What exactly did you do to her in there?!
Ah Xiruo's voice suddenly rang in Boss Luo's ear.
She even suspected that the scoundrel had actually beaten the pink-haired girl to tears!
After all, that scoundrel has a criminal record; he really does beat little girls until they cry—the true dragon of China was a victim of that back then!
—It's a disgrace I'll never forget!
Captain Luo ignored Xi Ruo this time, and just looked at Corybusch indifferently and said: "There is no such agreement between us... but I will listen to what you want to say."
Actually, it's just a matter of... oh, curiosity.
[Colibusor] opened her mouth, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally said helplessly, "[David Jones] is actually... actually my father..."
"Holy crap?" [Gold] Shaq's eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "So your mother really is... [Poseidon]?"
"No!" [Cornebusor] scoffed. "That kind of guy doesn't deserve it!"
—So that's it?
[Gold] Shaq couldn't help but rub his chin—outrageous, utterly outrageous! To what extent have the existing legends about [Poseidon] been distorted?
But Ah Xi Ruo always felt that things weren't so simple—the "no" that [Colybuso] said seemed to have another hidden story...
Bang bang bang bang bang-!
At that moment, a series of sounds suddenly came from outside the temple... it sounded like something crashing through one building after another.
Then, a powerful aura suddenly appeared.
"Someone else came in?"
[Gold] Shaq frowned and rushed out immediately.
……
Outside the temple, in the abandoned capital, a huge plume of smoke could be vaguely seen... large areas of houses had been smashed to pieces.
A man clad in golden armor and wielding a two-handed greatsword stood in mid-air, confronting a cold-faced youth—[Caesar]!
“I originally thought that those treasure hunters outside were just small fry…” Gazef chuckled, “but I didn’t expect that there was actually a master hidden among them. The Void is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide.”
"You're not bad either," the cold-faced youth said indifferently. "However, it seems you're not here for the treasure."
Gerdav casually slung his greatsword over his shoulder. "If I say no, how about we call it quits? After all, if we really start fighting, it'll go on forever and it'll be a waste of time."
The cold-faced youth glanced subtly towards the temple's main entrance before replying indifferently, "Alright."
Then Gazef shrugged and actually sheathed his greatsword, while Caesar slowly returned a strange black sword with a huge eye embedded in it to its sheath.
Then Gerdov suddenly attacked the cold-faced youth—at the same time, the cold-faced youth also made a move instantly!
In an instant, the two transformed into two beams of light and collided directly, the terrifying shockwave instantly sweeping across the entire temple space!
……
"Damn it, they're both treacherous!"
Shaq, who had just stepped out of the temple and witnessed this scene, couldn't help but curse inwardly... What happened to the promise to stop here?
