Chapter 1002 - Information Bank
Silence.
The pirates all turned silent the moment old Crow Face stepped forward.
The only sounds that could be heard were those from nature.
The Pirates all observed, not wanting to miss a single thing.
Crow Face stood magnetically before the kneeling Josh, gripped his jaws firmly and tilted his mud-coated face upwards, wanting the rain to wash away the mud.
And after he could see 60% of his appearance, Old Crow let go of his chin and coldly glanced at him, emitting a very murderous aura.
"Speak. Who are you? Where are you from? Why do you want the boy? And where are you taking him to?"
Josh, who was breathing heavily with his head tilted downwards, suddenly raised his head hatefully before spitting out the excess fluids in his mouth.
This reaction...
Hahahahahha.
As expected, he was right.
This assassin understood basic Pyno.
He then tried asking the same questions with more words involved, which seemed to confuse the assassin.
In fact, the guy just closed his eyes and couldn't be bothered what was asked.
Seeing his actions, everyone couldn't help praising Old Crow Face in their hearts.
When he had explained it earlier on, everyone was astonished by how short a time Old Crow had used to piece everything together.
Everything gave them yet another understanding of how intelligent Old Crow was.
No wonder he was sometimes called 'Mr. Sure' within the crew.
Why? Because he was always sure.
As far as they knew, things typically went just as he calculated.
Rarely did it ever go wrong.
And even within those times, it wasn't that his calculations were wrong, but that other factors changed things... Like a rat switching out their plans or alerting the enemy.
Anyway, everyone looked at Old Crow Face as a brain box within the crew.
.
Crow Face, who was watched with appreciation and respect, focused all his energy on Josh.
Good.
At least now, he understood that if he wanted the assassin to understand him, he headed to speak in simple terms.
So he repeated the questions again, just as he did before.
"Who are you? Who do you work for? Why do you want the boy? Where is he going?"
On hearing these questions, Josh raised his head and stared at Crow Face as if he wanted nothing more than to swallow him whole.
Then out of nowhere, he began laughing loudly like a crazed person.
And coupled with the rain and thunder sounds, his voice left many people's scales numb.
Of course, Josh had decided to mix in some Pyron with English, so that they should at least be able to comprehend 50% of what he was saying.
"Hahahhahahaha.
You lowly bastards will soon taste defeat once my people get here!
My organization, The Eye Of Horus, will come for you, amd hunt you down!"
~Buboom!
The sound of thunder echoed out just after Josh finished speaking, making everyone feel the weight of his words.
Old Crow's face turned grim.
It seemed that this matter was deeper than he thought.
He hadn't understood 50% of the assassin's words in the sentences.
But, knowing a few other Pyron words, he could also guess some things.
The Eye of Horus.
What organization was that?
.
Old Crow took this matter very seriously.
Even after knowing that they were pirates, this guy still said that this Eye of Horus would still come after them, meaning it wasn't scared of the pirate organization.
F***!
They needed to first find the continent or area where this language was used in Hertfilia.
Because he could be sure that this language didn't belong to Pyno, Veinitta, Morgany and a few other continents.
So it could be seen that this pirate came from far, far away.
The question now is where?
Old Crow Face felt even more inclined in keeping this assassin alive.
They needed him alive throughout their investigations, no matter what.
And once they locate what region spoke his language, it would be far easier to send several pirates to sweep the place, looking for this Eye Of Horus.
Josh looked at their reaction and inwardly chuckled.
Sigh... A few days ago, he read a manuscript for Lanson's new book called The Mummy.
The book hadn't come out yet and was scheduled for release sometime next Summer.
Landon said he hadn't finished it yet and had put it on hold for when he got back after leaving Pyno.
Anyway, Landon gave a manuscript to his wife, Grace, a fan of his.
She, of course, would never share it with others... But since she's his wife, she and Josh read the book together.
And he immediately fell in love with it.
Who would've known that he would use some references in the book here?
What Eye Of Horus?
Bah!
.
Josh still maintained a hateful gaze as he continued spitting out curses and threats.
"You better let me go now before it's too late.
The Eyes of Horris see everything in this world.
They are everywhere, even within your measly pirate organization.
As for the boy, he will be taken to Hamunaptra… The city of the Dead.
Hamunaptra is an ancient place that no one knows of.
Hahahahahha.
You all don't know who you are up against.
You are all doomed! Doomed!
I know you want to kill me, so just do it!"
Everyone looked at Josh coldly, with a high worry on their faces.
In truth, Old Crow Face believed all his words.
Why?
Because experience and facts had proven that in these times of battle, war and death... when people were about to die, they typically threatened and told the truth about matters to give them nightmares to their killers for the rest of their lives.
Since those dying knew of their impending deaths, they still wanted their arrogant murderers to feel their pain.
Many a time, they spoke the truth.
Again, from this guy's behaviour, he was sure that the guy wasn't an assassin.
Assassins would take but into poison sacs underneath their tongues if caught.
But this guy didn't.
Could it be that the Eye of Horus was another God-forsaken Temple?
Well, whatever the case, maybe he would find out soon enough.
Heh.
From the guy's actions, it showed that he desperately wanted to die.
But how could they let him?
How could they let their information box die?
Impossible.
He must find this Hamunaptra.
This city of the dead.
