The content accuracy is not guranteed.\nChapter 167 â The Last Day of Immersive Theater \nUnlike the players in the âpirate groupâ, the players in the âcaptive groupâ were initially picked up on a merchant ship. This merchant ship is a ship under Jacobâs name, and the layout inside is not bad.
Mary Jo Warren, who has obtained the status of âCaptainâs Loverâ, is the eldest lady of the Mulheim Snow Fort in the Ice Empire. She originally thought that she could meet the handsome pirate captain directly, but she did not expect to start off with the âcaptive groupâ, all on an ordinary merchant ship.
Then, a sea merchant NPC said to her: âMiss Mary Jo, when I saved you, you promised to give us 1000 gold coins, when we get to Winterport, you must keep your promise ah! I saved you at the risk of offending the Jackdaw.â
âSaved me?â Mary Jo repeated it subconsciously, confused, but it was enough, at least to establish this dialogue.
âYes, everyone in the Caribbean knows that you are the lover of the captain of the Jackdaw! So, you have to hide your identity at the banquet. No one wants to offend the Jackdaw! Thatâs the most terrible pirate ship! But you can escape from the pirate ship, you are really amazing,â the NPC said, he was clearly explaining the background.
Mary Jo Warren understood this, she was not stupid.
Oh, my identity is like this⌠She is the lover of the pirate captain, but she ran away from the pirate ship, and was trying to go home⌠Wow, this is really exciting!
Will the pirate captain come to find herself?
Will he come to grab herself?
It should be.
The members of the âcaptive groupâ are still on the merchant ship⌠So, does that mean, will the pirate ship captain fight this merchant ship in order to catch herself?!
This old-fashioned Mary Sue plot is really intoxicating.
This thousand gold coin ticket is really worth it~!
Mary Jo couldnât help but think.
The banquet started at dusk. There were dancers, bards, and even a Siren singer. The program was well arranged and the food was well chosen, giving the players a feeling that it was not a bad way to spend five days.
Mary Jo Warren chatted with the noble lady she knew for a while, and then a tall and handsome young man walked up to her and asked, âMiss, can I have some of your time?â
The temperament of that youth reminded Mary Jo of a paladin⌠In fact, this NPC was really a paladin, at least a former paladin. Later, he was led by Hill to go astray, hehehe.
âOf course,â Mary Jo said. She knew this should also be an NPC, she wondered in her heart what interesting plot could be triggered.
The young man who resembled a paladin came with her into the corridor, where the lights were very dim, and Mary Jo was a little nervous unconsciously.
The young man said in a deep voice, âMy name is Edward. First of all, I have no ill will towards you, Miss. Four months ago, I was a soldier on the Seagull.â
âThe Seagull.â Mary Joe repeated, always repeating what she heard every time she couldnât understand other people. In an immersive theater, this is a good habit.
âYes, do you have an impression?â Edward said. âThe Seagull was sunk directly after encountering the Jackdaw. Almost all the soldiers were killed. I saw the captain of the Jackdaw standing on the deck, gazing at us indifferently in the fire of the magic crystal cannon, like a devil⌠He had a woman in his arms, they all said she was his lover. â
As a non-related person, watching the drama through the plot, you will think that the captain is really handsome and powerful. Mary Jo undoubtedly had this feeling at this time.
After saying that, Edward looked straight at Mary Jo, âSo Miss, where were you four months ago?â
Mary Jo immediately tensed up, but she still remembered what the NPC said to her at the beginning, donât reveal her identity⌠So, she said: âI was in Snow Fort four months ago.â
In fact, she really came here in Snow Fort four months ago, but now she feels lying when she says this⌠Oh yes, she has already been in the play.
âI donât know if Iâm being paranoid,â Edward said, âbut you and the lady really are very much alike. âŚI hate the captain of the Jackdaw, not the young lady. It should be an unfortunate thing to be a pirateâs woman, and I would offer her my help if I could.â
âUm, well, you are such a kind person.â Mary Jo had no choice but to say so. In fact, this status is quite good, she specially spent money to get it⌠Of course, she wouldnât say it.
âMaybe.â Edward continued to look at her. âSo, your answer is still the same as before?â
Mary Joâs voice stiffened. âI donât think I have much to say.â
âIâm kind, but Iâm not stupid, Miss.â Edward glanced at her, turned, and left.
Mary Jo felt a little complicated, but she still looked forward to the captain more.
At this moment, the ship shook violently, she couldnât stand firm, and Edward stepped forward to support her, âItâs alright, Miss.â
Regardless of what just happened, Mary Joâs heart canât help but swell a littleâŚ.
If Mary Jo is a movie-watcher, she would be tempted to see the heroine in such a small plot in the movie, she would find it too boring, too natural. But this is different in reality.
In fact, Edward, the NPC, is positioned as the âcheating targetâ of the âCaptainâs Loverâ.
The role of Mary Jo, the âCaptainâs Loverâ, can develop a lot of routes. Edward will be caught in the pirate ship dungeon. Mary Jo can rescue him, let him go, and elope with him; she can also unite with him, plus other pirates to seize the Jackdaw (of course, at this time, the captain of the pirate shipâs IQ will suddenly decrease! HahahaâŚ); Of course, Mary Jo can also be ungrateful to him, he was infatuated, and of course, it will trigger the blackened ending of Edward, he will tell the captain of the pirate ship that he and Mary Jo had an affair, and then let the captain of the pirate ship also blacken, heheheâŚ
At this moment, Mary Jo has already started fighting between heaven and man. Edward is handsome, and looks righteous and kind. The pirate captain was only seen in the promo. Wow, itâs so hard to choose⌠Or, tell Edward her identity first? Anyway, this is a game, he canât do anything to herself after admitting it.
âMr. Edward, I have something to tell youâŚâ Mary Jo said.
Edward was about to speak when an exclamation came from outside: âItâs a pirate ship!â
âPirates!â
âThe Jackdaw is here!â
Edwardâs face changed. âStay here and hide.â He ordered.
Then he ran outside.
ä¸ä¸
On the other side, the pirate group.
The pirate captain personally gave the order, saying that Carl Richard, who had just been promoted to deputy captain, would direct the battle.
Regarding how to command the battle, Master Carl was actually confused, but the feeling of holding great power was very good, so he was very much into the act and said, âLetâs approach the merchant ship first, and activate the magic crystal cannon when we get into range.â
Actors NPCs: EmmmmâŚ
This, the magic crystal cannon on the ship is real, because they are worried about encountering pirates.
But that merchant ship is their own, this is just fake robbery play! Can you still play after the magic crystal bombards you? The script given to them by His Royal Highness Grindelwald didnât explain what to do in this situation! Ah?!
Fortunately, the chief mate was more witty, so he immediately said: âSir Deputy Captain, maybe we donât have to go to such trouble, the other sideâs combat power is very weak, we can just directly engage in a group battle.â
âOh, what you said makes sense,â Carl said. He knows that the group battle is to jump up and slash each other.
âThen, Sir Deputy Captain, do you want to command or lead an assault?â the chief mate asked.
Carl is itchy: âLead the assault.â He wants to try this feeling.
âOkay.â The chief mate felt relieved in his heart. He was worried that the player would continue to blindly command the first battle play and make the first battle play difficult. If he chooses to lead the assault, everyone can follow the script.
Then, all the pirate players were given the âmagic crystal gunâ. In fact, the effect was just a âbangâ after pulling the trigger, and then the actor NPCs fell to the ground automatically.
Soon, the merchant ship appeared in sight.
Muriel became excited while stroking the âmagic crystal gunâ in his arms.
Wow, they are going to rob! So excited!
ä¸ä¸
In the captainâs room.
Outside was the âbattlefieldâ with loud shouts, in contrast, the captainâs room was quiet.
The captain, who was so powerful outside, now looked respectful, because it was Hill himself who was sitting in the captainâs chair at the moment.
âThe expressions of the players are pretty good,â Hill said, âhow do you feel?â
âThose noble ladies and men seem to be very happy,â Spike said.
âI think so too⌠It was pretty loud out there.â Hill said, âI will ask the black dwarf to make the gun modelâs sound a little bit quieter. Itâs too noisy.â
Spike said, âI think a louder one will be more exciting, of course, I just proposed, My King.â
âAnd rightly so.â Hill nodded, âThen Iâll leave the rest to you, I have a few things to do.â
âYes, My King,â Spike said.
Hill disappeared and walked to the deck. The pirates over there, under the âleadershipâ of Deputy Captain Carl, had successfully âbeatenâ the guards of the merchant ship. All the players in the âcaptive groupâ were captured, of course. Including the âCaptainâs Loverâ. The faces of the players in the âcaptive groupâ have expressions of fear and excitement. This experience of being caught by pirates is quite exciting when it is not dangerous.
And the players of the pirate group were all so excited that they were overjoyed, each with a smile on their face, obviously gaining great satisfaction from that fight just now.
Edward looked at âCaptainâs Loverâ Mary Jo with a pale face: âSo, Miss, is this what you wanted to talk to me about before the battle?â
Mary Jo said: âIâm sorry, I lied to you, Edward, I am the Mary Jo.â She was feeling a little complicated, but it gave her a strange sense of coolness, similar to⌠emmm⌠satisfying the self-needed drama? Everyone actually wants to perform. All of them accompany themselves to act together, and it feels great.
This looks pretty good. Hill passed by them, and then went straight to the merchant ship, because he used magic, so no one found him. Next, he will take this merchant ship to the Plague Islands to participate in the Sea God Festival two days later.
This merchant ship was originally headed to the Plague Islands, and being ârobbedâ by the Jackdaw along the way was just one of the tasks.
Oh, by the way, the Jackdaw will also go to the Plague Islands. Players will participate in the Sea God Festival and appreciate the charm of the Sea God Festival.
In addition, the Fallen Angel Orchestra will go to the Sea God Festival to publicly perform âThe Last of the Mohicansâ, âThe Condor Passesâ, and âSequoiaâ. âSequoiaâ was created by the famous Italian musician Alessandro, and it is also the first sad and desolate, majestic light music. Hill is going to make a live recording, and he himself plans to appear in front of the public at Sea God Festival and give a speech.
The Plague Islands, where the Dark Church spreads faith, is different after all, and need to be taken so seriously by him.
ä¸ä¸
On the first day of the immersive theater, both the âpirate groupâ and the âcaptive groupâ were very excited. The players of the âpirate groupâ dug treasures, held banquets, and participated in battles, while the players of the âcaptive groupâ tasted some good food, and experience the feeling of being captured by pirates.
Of course, Hill didnât really put the players in the âcaptive groupâ into the dungeon, but took them into the cabin. Because according to the setting, they are all âfat sheepâ that can be exchanged for money. On most days, they would not be too limited in their range of action, otherwise the âcaptive groupâ would be too bored to be held for a few days.
The pirate Miss Muriel and the hostage Miss Natasha also found each other smoothly after the battle, but because there were other pirates staring at each other, Muriel had not yet talk to Natasha.
This day was so exciting, because the experience was too rich, and there was a lot of exercise, so everyone slept very deeply.
Early the next morning, Muriel went to find Natasha, but the captive area was controlled by an NPC, and the NPC said that he would let her in only if she had the password. Muriel didnât know and was not let in, so she had no choice but to make another plan.
She thought about it and went to Maltz, who was practicing swords on the deck. She asked to learn swordsmanship again, but this time, Maltz did not refuse, but agreed with a cold face.
Soon, the breakfast time came, and the immersive theater provided food from the demon realm for the entire five days.
The pirates had breakfast together, and then the chief mate assigned tasks to each player, specifically asking them to contact the captives, to threaten and warn them not to think about escaping.
Doing such âbad thingsâ naturally excited many players again.
Then the first officer said sternly: âI hope you donât have any private agreements with the captives. The Jackdaw will not condone this behavior. I swear to the Sea God and the Dark God that you will be severely punished by the captain. You would never want to recall the experience of punishment⌠provided,â he said with a sneer, âthat you survive.â
Murielâs heart froze.
This, this⌠Should she still take the risk to meet Natasha?
Muriel has betrayed her good girl friend deep in her heart (Ă).
And later, she really did.
At the same time, before the pirate group players threaten the captive group players, the pirate NPC had already contacted the captive group players.
These first pirate NPCs who contacted the captive group players posed as pushers and told them that there were many forces on this ship, one group advocates killing you, another group advocates trading you for money, and another group wants to use you to seek more benefits. If you want, you can cooperate with me blah blah blah.
Then, the NPC will say that there will be pirates sent by the captain to threaten you, but they are not firm in their hearts. You have to use words to induce them to stand on your sideâŚ
On the other hand, there are not many âpirate groupâ players who want to collude with the âcaptive groupâ players, but the chief mate said beforehand that they are not allowed to have too much contact with the captives⌠this is fun.
In this immersive theater, everyone is their own protagonist, and everyone is the NPC of others.
ä¸ä¸
Then the whole plot began to be quite intricate, and the players have developed their own subplots.
The captainâs lover Mary Jo wandered between the captured Edward and the pirate captain, and then another pirate NPC approached her and said, âDo you like them? Then you can overthrow the captainâs rule and become the captain of the Jackdaw yourself. So, you can have both!â
Mary Jo was struck by lightning.
How can this be?
âŚThe result, Mary Jo was scared.
She hesitated and dawdled for five days, during which she enjoyed various treatments, such as appearing with the pirate captain to be bowed down by the crowd, such as Edwardâs gradual âlove to the coreâ, such as other pirate NPCâs compliments, and so on and so forth⌠In fact, her main plot was not triggered, every time before she could trigger them, she wimps out.
But she personally had a good time, which is also quite good.
After returning, she excitedly told her cousin about âhaving both of themâ, and encouraged her cousin to also become the heroine.
Her cousin is a passionate widow who is quite bold and unrestrained. After being persuaded, she decisively paid and achieved the ideal âI want it allâ in Mary Joâs heart.
The branch line on Deputy Captain Carl was triggered quite a lot. He also did the âbetraying the Captainâ plot, but he did it too crudely that there was no way he could succeed. In the end, the chief mate had to take the initiative to go over and say âI see the captain not pleasing to the eye for a long time, let me support you, too.â Deputy Captain Carl was very grateful, but on the eve of the betrayal, he wimped out, and he made a godly operationââ
Carl told the captain that XX and XX were traitors, and he himself was an undercover agent, and found these people for the captain!
The chief mate NPC almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Okay, okay, you just need to be happyâŚ
Spike, who plays the captain of the pirate ship, is also a little choked. Okay, yes, very goodâŚ
Master Carl himself had a good time anyway. This also works.
Players operate like this⌠in endless layers.
This invariably brought a lot of fun to the players and NPCs.
Different NPCs show different appearance to different players. Just like Edward, he is very affectionate in the eyes of the captainâs lover. If the captainâs lover chooses him, it will open a bunch of plots. But what he appeared in the âcaptive groupâ playersâ eyes was that he approached the captainâs lover by acting out to get the other party to let them go.
This time, the male protagonist of the âcaptive groupâ began to engage with a female pirate after halfway through his escape from prison. On the day of Sea God Festival, they were walking on the beach. He confessed to the female pirate NPC and said that he planned to escape from prison. The pirate NPC said âthe captain appreciates you very much. You can stay on the ship and be with meâ.
So, the male protagonist of the âcaptive groupâ readily betrayed the players of the âcaptive groupâ, and went to be a pirate and drink spicy food.
In the end, Gibbon Joyce, the lucky winner of the lottery, turned the tide and led the captive group players to escape. In the end, only one-fifth of them ran away with him, and the other players were âcompelledâ by the pirates. They voluntarily stayed on the pirate ship and also betrayed the âcaptive groupâ one by one. If not for the pirate NPCs who turned a blind eye, Joyce and the others would have been thrown to the sea several times.
All of it is wonderfully diverse.
At first glance, it seems that the pirate group is more fun, but the âcaptive groupâ is actually quite fun too. The captain ordered that the captives were not allowed to go except for certain places, and most of the ship was open to them. The âcaptive groupâ can talk to the pirate NPCs and obtain some props. In fact, the âcaptive groupâ is more of a strategy and exploration nature. Of course, like the âcaptive groupâ male protagonist who does not play a strategy game, it is also fine to engage with NPCs instead.
During the period, Captain Rod also came over to make a cameo. The Jackdaw and Deathbird met at sea, and they had a banquet together. In addition, there are sea fishing, treasure hunting on the isolated island, bonfire dinner, and participation in the Sea God Festival⌠This is an extremely fulfilling five days, every minute and every second is worth cherishing, and exciting one after another.
The last day is here, the last dinner, the last carnival.
Muriel was filled with a beautiful sense of sorrow.
Tomorrow, they will be back to Josh Kenny, and then take the airship back to Winter City⌠Tomorrow she will change back to that noble lady again, and live the same old life.
So reluctantâŚ
She canât bear to leave Maltz (now she has a very good relationship with Maltz), she canât bear to leave the Caribbean Sea, she canât bear to leave these pirate companions⌠No, they are not NPC actors, these are her companions, she canât bear to leave such a pirate life.
She kind of wants to cry.
She looked at Melissa and saw that Melissa was already crying.
