Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 268: Cheers to the Sea!

"Haha, that's really the style of an adventurer. ...Hey, how about staying here and becoming a pirate?"

"You know that's impossible, but can you follow me and become an adventurer?"

"Hahaha, never mind."

The old captain smiled, and the cigarette between his fingertips burned particularly fast in the sea breeze.

The stars and fireworks were reflected in each other's eyes, as if the morning sun was rising from those eyes as deep as the sea.

"As a pirate, from the moment you make up your mind, you will spend your whole life at sea."

Yun Xianhe didn't say anything.

They had different philosophies, and this voyage was destined to be separate from the beginning.

The brave man placed one hand on the other's shoulder and looked at the island in the distance under the moonlight:

"I believe you can become the most powerful pirate in these waters, Captain Elrich."

The sea breeze made the sails rustle.

The brave man who found this memory from the vast sea of ​​memories smiled gently, and just like in his memory, he snatched the cigarette from the other person's hand.

"We will meet eventually if we are destined to."

"Hey, just talk, my cigarette,

"No, the best pirate must have a good body. Smoking too much is not good for your health."

Seeing his half-smoked cigarette being thrown into the sea mercilessly by the other party, Captain Eric sighed and didn't even think about lighting another one.

"You're talking so emotionally, you'll definitely cry."

"I bet you cry first."

"Ha! What a joke! How could I possibly cry!... What's the bet?"

"If I win, you'll quit smoking, and of course, I'll give you a box of candy in exchange."

"Who wants candy, man? What if you lose?"

Yun Xianhe shook his head, looking very confident:

"I never cry on my own initiative."

The captain curled his lips: "I don't believe it."

"Ha, believe it or not."

The virtual world took into account his original health values, so crying was impossible.

What's more, Jishishi never cries.

If He really cried, the world would be on the verge of collapse.

"Prepare to land on the island!!"

"Ohhhhhhhh!!"

Yun Xianhe, standing on the deck, looked at the small island so close at hand and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"This boat is pretty fast."

"Come on, little Polaris! We're waiting for you to lead the way!"

"coming!"

·

The island has pleasant scenery, but not too many animals or plants.

A group of pirates passed through like a swarm of locusts (?), and directly swept across the entire island.

Finally, we found a huge stone in the middle, and a stone box covered with moss and vines at the foot of the stone.

The huge stone box was half buried in the soil.

Yun Xianhe, who was standing at the back, looked at the group of pirates who were surrounding them but not taking any action, and said with a smile:

"Aren't you going to open it?"

"Ahem, this is your treasure, you should be the ones to open it."

Captain Elrich said this seriously, and the other pirates nodded along.

Although they love treasures, as mentioned at the beginning of this trip, they will not steal things from children.

Looking at Hongshu who was pushed to the front, and the other pirates who were waiting eagerly, Yun Xianhe sighed:

"It's such a big rock, do you want Hiroki to move it by himself?"

"This……"

"What are you standing there for? Go and help open it!"

The pirate who was in a daze on the side was kicked by Yun Xianhe.

The beaten pirate came back to his senses and chuckled, and a large group of people ran over to help.

Hiroki was surrounded and stood in front of the treasure chest, his hands hanging by his sides nervously tugging at the corners of his clothes.

Such a big box should contain treasure...

Feeling the expectant eyes of the people around him, he took a deep breath, bent down and used a dagger to clear the vines above.

He had already thought about it. If there was no treasure inside, he would use Noah's Ark to create a bunch of it.

He couldn't let down these friends who had accompanied him here.

After the weeds were cleared, the complete appearance of the stone box was revealed.

The ancient patterns are mixed with incomprehensible words.

Even after years of vicissitudes, it is difficult to conceal its original fine workmanship.

As Hiroki placed his hand on the lid of the stone box, the other pirates followed suit.

Everyone looked at each other.

John, who was standing in front, swallowed his saliva, frowned and smiled, his expression looked a little strange:

"Why are you so nervous, old man?"

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!"

As these words were spoken, the others could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

The originally somewhat tense atmosphere was instantly broken.

Yun Xianhe and the captain stood by and watched, smiling and shaking their heads almost in sync.

Captain Elrich cursed with a smile:

"This is a bunch of dishonest guys."

Hiroki and the people around him looked at each other and said in unison:

"3-2-1! Hey!"

The heavy stone slab was pushed aside and fell on the grass with a dull thud.

The piles of gold coins shone brightly under the sunlight, and mixed with the gems among them, it was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

The pirates, who had never seen so much money, stood there in a daze.

The man who was closer poked the top gold coin with a trembling finger. His lips trembled and it took him a while to find his voice:

"Treasure, it's really a treasure!"

After a brief silence, the crowd burst into even louder cheers:

"Hahahahaha! I didn't expect that I could find treasure in this lifetime!"

"It's gold coins?! There must be 10,000 gold coins here, right?!"

"And there are gems! We're going to make a killing this time!"

The pirates laughed almost crazily.

Seeing how happy they were, Hongshu also laughed, and then subconsciously looked at Yun Xianhe.

The latter winked at him, and they understood each other tacitly.

"Let us thank little North Star and little Luck for the treasure!"

I don’t know who shouted this.

Someone simply picked up Hiroki and lifted him above their heads so that everyone could see him.

A large group of people began to dance in circles around the treasure chest.

Yun Xianhe dodged the group of people who wanted to throw him up, and pushed Captain Elrich out:

"Your captain has also contributed, thank him!"

Saka grinned wickedly, and while Eric was not paying attention, he teamed up with another pirate next to him to throw him up.

The poor captain, who was nearly thirty years old, was almost torn apart by the shake.

"Party! We need a party!"

"That's right! Bonfire party on the beach!"

"Ohhhhhhhh!!"

After being lifted up and swung around for several rounds, Hiroki was finally put down.

He knocked his dizzy head twice, picked up the wax-stamped envelope on top of the pile of gold coins, and walked towards Yun Xianhe who was hiding under a tree watching the fun:

"The treasure here is indeed set by you, right?"

The low voice was full of certainty.

Yun Xianhe shrugged:

"I just said that I won't set things up during the adventure, but I didn't say that I won't interfere with the rewards at each level."

"So what's the next adventure?"

"So curious? Or are you willing to leave?"

Yun Xianhe winked at Hongshu and smiled teasingly.

The latter paused, then chuckled, as if he had let go of his stubbornness:

"I think you are right. Besides, I will meet them eventually, right?"

Hiroki said this after he had copied all the simulation data using the Noah's Ark program.

Yun Xianhe on the side did not comment.

He placed his hands on the man's shoulders and made him turn around to look at the pirates who were about to hold a celebration banquet.

"Even if it's a temporary farewell, we should say goodbye properly."

"Hai Hai Yi——"

The party was very lively.

Two months of thrilling journey and the excitement of getting the treasure,

The two complement each other and ultimately increase the joy.

The laughter drifted towards the starry night sky along with the sparks from the bonfire built in the center of the venue.

The pirates' loud singing, accompanied by the waves lapping on the beach and the melodious sound of the violin, brought the banquet to a climax.

"Cheers to our North Star! Cheers to our luck!"

Captain Elrich raised his glass and the pirates responded.

Yun Xianhe, who was sitting next to him, raised his glass and shouted:

"To Captain Elrich! To the chef!"

After saying this, he looked at Hiroki beside him.

The once shy child can now shout out his inner voice with a happy smile:

"Cheers to the vast ocean! Cheers to every pirate present!"

The brave man smiled with relief.

The pirates present also gave the warmest response:

"Cheers to the sea!"

"Cheers to the pirates!"

"Cheers!"
