Chapter 481: The Thief Ship (6,000 Words 2-in-1!)
Like most of the cities and wilderness in the Federation today, Green Dragon Spine Lake has also been faintly divided into two worlds because of the "return of the spiritual tide", the real world is a beautiful and quiet tourist destination, and the mysterious side has recently become a "hot place for weird moving".
The "shipwreck ditch" at the bottom of Longji Lake is home to many strange and transcendent creatures because of a large number of shipwrecks, but in recent times, some weird people have to choose to move, especially those with a collector's habit, and they are considering moving back to San Martin Lake again.
The guy who was regarded as a scourge by the weirdos came into the eyes of Tang Qi and Eva at this time.
On the deck of the "King Kong-class" tattered battleship, two figures, one large and one small, were fighting, to be exact, one of them was teaching the other.
Taught is Peggy, who has been transformed into a "mechanical body" by an unknown being.
Although Peggy was allowed to leave the "quarantine zone" due to the problem of the energy source, in order to prolong her life, Tang Qi did not unlock the seal left by the witches on her body, and the energy attack, battle form, and even some terrifying transformation skill she possessed could not be used.
The only thing left is the combat skills that come with the mechanical body, and the hands that can make changes.
At this time, what appeared in front of Tang Qi and Eva was Peggy's constantly flashing silver mechanical arm, conjuring various weapons to attack the "strange knight" wearing rotten armor.
The weapons that Peggy has conjured up are a glimpse of what she's been learning lately.
The sabers, daggers, or bayonets that are popular in modern times are not on her list, but instead appear the classical Empress longsword, or the wild pirate battle axe, or even some kind of strange spear from the Immortal Celestial Empire.
As her weapons change, so does her fighting style.
It's a pity that the opponent she faced was crushed in all aspects.
The three-meter-tall knight with a burly body showed ghostly speed under Peggy's furious attacks, easily dodging all of Peggy's attacks, raising a kick at will, and kicking Peggy lightly.
Boom!
The light and agile Peggy, as if hit by a cannonball, flew upside down and crashed into a sinking ship next to her.
However, this kick released "ingenuity", and Peggy did not suffer any damage, kicked her foot, and immediately appeared in front of Noah and the others.
As soon as the knight stepped forward, under the huge helmet, red light flashed, and a cold, hoarse voice sounded.
"The battle is not about how many ...... you master"
"Buzz"
Noah and a dozen other students were listening carefully to the combat experience that the strange knight was going to teach, and suddenly at this moment, the red light coming out from under the knight's helmet became more intense, and in the sound that made people's teeth ache, the knight turned his head stiffly, and looked at the two figures on the other side of the deck, who came out of the portal that suddenly appeared.
Or rather, just one of them.
Rumble!
The storm-like shock wave erupted at this moment, stirring the bottom of the lake in the originally clear water, and the blood-like red glow flickered in it, and the pair of red eyes suddenly retracted, and then burst open, directly locking Tang Qi.
There are no words required, and the meaning is clearly conveyed.
It's a challenge!
But strangely, the challenge wasn't so firm, the red light that should have been intimidating flickered from time to time, and it seemed that within the rotten but still tight armor, there was a different consciousness going on.
Judging by the momentum that kept climbing to the bottom of the lake, forcing others, including Eva, to stay away, the will to challenge clearly prevailed.
The originally calm bottom of the lake is like a monster raging at this moment, the terrifying storm is centered on the "shipwreck ditch", raging in all directions, the green in the lake is completely replaced by a little red light, and the terrifying two-handed sword that has been inserted on the deck is ready to move at this moment.
As the "challenged", Tang Qi felt a strong threat.
Under his eyes, a violent ghostly light surged, gradually converging into a special picture.
The fragments of information that surprised Tang Qi exploded in his mind.
[Transcendent Creatures: A newborn legendary knight. γ
[Status: Fusion.] γ
[Fragment 1: A legendary knight who once shined in the Dark Age, lost himself in a terrible war, and in order to prevent his body from doing evil after the fall, he chose to bury himself and sank deep in the silt of Lake San MartΓn, until a long time later, a special soul was swept inside. γ
[Information fragment 2: The foreign soul gradually inherited most of the knight's 'inheritance', but the erosion of time has caused his realm to fall into the legend, unless the soul that dominates the shell can be re-promoted to the 'legend', he will never be able to completely control this powerful body. γ
[Information fragment 3: When a powerful presence is detected, the body may instinctively challenge the strong. γ
......
Most of the doubts in Tang Qi's eyes were solved.
"This body is indeed a legendary knight, and a knight who showed great power in the Dark Age, and since it was sunk in Lake Saint-Martin, it may be possible to find relevant deeds in some ancient texts...... Interestingly, the knight himself is dead, and now it is an outsider's soul that now controls the body. β
"Reborn!"
A few familiar words came to Tang Qi's mind.
"Compared to the treatment on the day I came to the Blue Star, this guy is simply so lucky, I worked hard to obtain the body of an ordinary high school student, he is a legendary knight as soon as he is possessed, judging from the information provided by the Black Mountain Beech, he has obtained the inheritance without cultivating a few times, and then entered a pleasant robbery career?"
"Really, it's jealous!"
As the last thought flashed, Tang Qi changed his mind.
Naturally, his original intention of coming here was not to fight, but to see what kind of camp a powerful "weird knight" was, Dorothy's divination undoubtedly had a very high accuracy rate, but it was not a bad thing to confirm it a few more times.
After all, judging from what Eva said, this weird knight is perfect for a job inside the school. For the other weirdos living in the Green Dragon's Back Lake, if he agreed to serve, it would be an excellent example.
This is a meeting and an assessment.
Next, there is the specific content of the assessment.
Across the vast deck, Tang Qi looked at the pair of red eyes, and clearly felt the two wills that were fighting in a tug-of-war, one very resistant to battle, and the other was the instinct to communicate with a powerful being.
The former is the soul of the outsider, and the trait currently shown is that he is greedy for money and has a limit, and he is very cautious, and even robs are just to rob the weird ones who are weaker than himself, and the slightly stronger ones dare not provoke at all.
Tang Qi felt the "inquiry" sent by a vague will in the storm that swept over, it was an invitation to challenge.
Even though the soul of the original owner has long since been annihilated, that chivalry has been imprinted in the instinct of the body.
It's just that I don't know why, such a "legendary knight's body" will be occupied by a greedy and timid soul.
Without continuing to think, Tang Qi directly released a signal of agreement with the challenge.
In his eyes, the battle spirit also emerged.
Above the huge deck, Diana's illusory body appeared, and the powerful divine power suppressed it, emptying the lake in an instant, forming a huge space, just enveloping most of the "shipwreck ditch" into it, Noah and other students, as well as Professor Eva, and many strange things that felt the movement and rushed to but were hidden in the shadows, were all blocked out of the space.
Bang!
Almost as soon as Tang Qi agreed to fight, the instinct of the knight's body completely prevailed, and gray-black smoke frantically poured out from the knight's armor, merging with the mist that gushed out from the sick's two-handed greatsword, merging into the storm that swept out.
Inside the smoke, fragmented light and shadow floated, and there were ancient battlefields, neighing war horses, piles of corpses, and the "top of the mountain", the tall knight who was fighting with an unspeakable monster with a great sword in his hand.
"The original picture before Nicholas' death?"
At the bottom of Tang Qi's heart, he just had an idea.
Suddenly, the knight suddenly drew his two-handed sword, jumped off the battleship with awkward and sluggish movements, and fled into the depths of the ruins of the shipwreck ditch. During the process, all the onlookers also watched him tripped his left foot and his right foot, and with a "bang", he fell into the mud.
Even so, he insisted on carrying the giant sword, like a child who had just learned to walk, and fled farther away.
As soon as this picture came out, everyone was stunned.
Tang Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at the mountains of gold, antiques and strange things in the "belly" of the battleship under his feet, and immediately laughed.
"Interesting soul!"
After smiling, Tang Qi's body turned into smoke with a "bang" and chased towards the knight.
Quickly crossed the knight and re-agglomerated his body on the deck of another decaying shipwreck deep in the wreck ditch.
In an instant, after discovering that Tang Qi had broken away from the "King Kong-class" battleship, and the battle between the two was unlikely to affect the "wealth" he had collected, the "struggle" in his crimson eyes completely dissipated at this moment.
In its place, there is a terrifying fighting spirit.
All the awkwardness and sluggishness disappeared completely, and the terrifying gray-black smoke filled the bottom of the lake, and an incomparably dazzling silver-white light was dragged by the knight, and burst out from behind, and the light slashed down, and the smoke and phantom were all sliced open.
While!
The two great swords collided together, and the terrifying shockwave crushed all the shipwrecks around them, and the aftermath was absorbed by the spatial barrier cast by "Diana", but everyone and the weirdos who were fighting on the outside felt the devastating power at this moment.
Tang Qi held the Sword of the Light Knight, and the magic of the furnace turned it into a "Flame Sword", and at the moment of the collision, Tang Qi felt the power from the "former legendary knight", the power after being eroded by the years for a long time, and the realm fell.
The light of surprise, this moment also completely ignited the battle intent in the depths of Tang Qi's eyes.
Powerful, undeniably powerful.
Tang Qi could feel that in the body of the tall figure in front of him, a force that could not be ignored and threatened him was constantly exploding, and his feet were constantly pressed into the ground, even though he had used the "strange power" technique in Chaga's fighting technique.
For the first time, in the competition of strength, Tang Qi met his opponent.
Suppressing the idea of using the "Evil Dragon Roar", Tang Qi's whole person "boomed", the fire spell was cast, and after transforming into a burning man, Tang Qi forced the two-handed big sword away with great force, and then suddenly felt a loosening of his shoulders.
The silver-white light swept from the side, and the terrifying speed and explosive power made Tang Qi directly ignore his thoughts and enter a fighting state in an instant.
"Chaga!"
The fighting technique has evolved many times, and the progress is constantly regressing, but it has brought Tang Qi incredible melee combat power.
The spectators watched as the aftermath of the destruction of countless shipwrecks had not yet dissipated, and the two figures, one red and one silver-white, were entangled.
They were like two balls of light, constantly colliding together. In just a few blinks of an eye, except for the "King Kong-class" battleship, most of the area of the shipwreck ditch was cleared, and the real ruins were displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
For the first time, Noah and the others saw the "hand-to-hand combat power" of their own principal, and the appearance of Mr. Nicholas, who claimed to be a legendary knight, when he went all out.
In the strangeness of watching the battle, there were many "victims" of Nicholas, who reacted at this time.
If there are no accidents, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find that shameless guy to take revenge in this life and get his belongings back.
In the deep ditch, the two figures unscrupulously vented their fighting intentions.
The "Legendary Knight's Body", which has been buried in the mud for a long time, has fallen into a legend, but its fighting instinct still exists, and it has formed a restraint against Tang Qi's "Chaga Fighting Technique", and Tang Qi has completely supported the first wave of confrontation with the help of the fire spell, guardian spell, and the powerful magic trained by the "tempering method".
Gradually, the "sequelae" of the knight being eroded by the years began to emerge.
His fighting consciousness continued to recover, but his physical body could not confront Tang Qi at this time.
"Click~"
In the glowing storm, new cracks continued to emerge in the armor of the knight's body, and the gray-black flesh below was faintly visible, and the constant mist could not be replenished.
The strong separation between his consciousness and his body made him gradually unable to keep up with Tang Qi's outburst, especially as the battle progressed, his "hand-to-hand combat ability" increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the progress of Chaga's fighting technique continued to jump.
Click!
After another terrifying collision, the two parted with a "bang".
On the ruins full of shipwreck fragments, the flame sword in Tang Qi's hand disappeared, unable to withstand the excessive infusion of the magic power of the furnace, the Bright Knight Sword shattered, and turned back into a sword-shaped badge in the form of damage, when he casually discarded the badge, there was also a "snort" sound from the opposite side, and the two-handed greatsword that was obviously a high-level strange object easily pierced into the hard reef.
When the instinctive sense of battle takes over the body, the spirit of chivalry is thoroughly implemented.
Two of them, empty-handed at the same time.
"Huhu~Huhu"
Heavy, rhythmic breathing, coming from under the tight, tight helmet.
Although it is "weird", Nicholas is not a "corpse", he is a life that has been reborn by possession, between zombies and living people, and what kind of life form it will eventually become depends on how far the soul of the outsider who dominates the knight's body will go.
The clothes on Tang Qi's body were already tattered, and beads of hot sweat overflowed from all over his skin, and before they could drip off, they were evaporated by the "Flame Curse".
Their eyes collided in the air, without words, and they disappeared in place at the same time.
"Bang ~ Bang Bang"
A brand new battle begins, hand-to-hand combat.
This extremely violent and terrifying fight lasted for an extraordinarily short time.
Nicholas's body has been eroded for too long.
And Tang Qi, after being promoted to the "professional level", the magic power of the furnace has transformed his body, coupled with the tempering method that he has been cultivating all the time, in terms of endurance, Tang Qi has gradually won.
Everyone watched as the gray-black mist thinned and the crimson brilliance grew brighter and brighter, and they all knew that the end of this terrible battle was coming.
......
Boom!
Under the gaze of everyone, the two figures with a huge difference in size each threw out the last punch, the crimson light flame collided with the silver-white light, and then the boom exploded completely, and the impact tide burst and swept more violently than before.
In the tide, Tang Qi's body shook violently, and on the opposite side of him, the legendary knight "Nicholas", on the ancient and terrifying armor on his body, there was a small sound at first, and the cracks that were imperceptible to the naked eye were breeding and spreading, and then spread to the whole body, and thick cracks appeared in the sound of sneering.
After a thud, he fell.
Like a body that had just been lifted out of the "furnace", there were scorch marks everywhere, the red light under the helmet was unprecedentedly dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time, and a thin gray-black mist drilled out from under the armor, repairing the damage with extremely low efficiency.
"The headmaster wins!"
Outside the space, including Noah and the others, they all knew the result of this violent fight at this moment.
Everyone's eyes fell on Tang Qi first, because he had been using the "Chaga Fighting Technique", his body had swelled a lot compared to normal, and the broken clothes could not cover the flesh that people couldn't look at directly.
Then they looked at the "knight" lying on the ground.
Eyes full of respect emerged one after another.
As the headmaster of the witch school, and blessed by those appalling achievements, the transcendent creatures of the entire Secret Phoenix City know that he is powerful.
Although Tang Qi didn't use other means this time, just the power of physical combat, the fact that the "knight" could fight against it for so long was enough to prove its strength.
After tonight, the battle will surely spread.
Nicholas will gain a strong reputation, and perhaps his heist career in "Lake St. Martin" and "Lake Green Dragon's Back" will not bring as much fame as this one.
Of course, he also has to pay some price.
After venting his "desire to fight", Tang Qi came to Nicholas refreshed and looked at the eyes under the helmet.
Seeing with my own eyes, the pure sense of battle inside was dissipating, and in its place, a pair of very vivid eyes.
It conveys a very complex meaning, similar to hello, don't fight, don't know each other, I'm Nicholas, I didn't mean to rob your pirate ship...... These, it is clear that the lucky person who is "reborn" has finally taken over the body again.
Tang Qi didn't answer him immediately, just looked at him with a smile, stretched out a hand, and pulled him up under the somewhat strange gaze of the "knight".
Immediately, his face was solemn, and a very formal invitation was issued.
"Mr. Nicholas, on behalf of the Merada School of Special Education, I invite you to be the teacher of the school's 'Transcendent Practical Class'. β
Tang Qi's voice was not disguised much, and with Diana's concealment, Noah and the others immediately heard it clearly, as well as the weirdos watching the battle.
Noah's more than a dozen students in the extraordinary combat class were extremely happy.
After witnessing Nicholas's battle with his own headmaster, the students discover that the power of the "knight" is beyond imagination.
The weirdos who had already vaguely guessed had a bitter face, and comforted themselves in their hearts: "It's enough to watch that shameless guy get beaten, and the property should not come back." β
Nicholas, who took over the body again, felt the unprecedented "weakness" coming from this powerful body, and his mood was very unbeautiful, but after receiving the invitation from the "witch principal" and "demigod nemesis" in front of him, he was overjoyed in his heart.
After robbing the "Gold Mine Devil" and inquiring about what the Merada Special Education School was, Nicholas originally thought that he would run away directly in the battleship, and run away if he couldn't be provoked, which was the principle he was used to before he was reborn.
It's just that later, after he was entangled by Noah, Peggy and others, he gradually changed his mind.
If it weren't for the sake of "turning positive", he wouldn't have taught Peggy's students seriously, you know, after becoming a teacher, his happy robbery time had to be drastically reduced.
Receiving an invitation, Nicholas was thinking about whether to be reserved.
Suddenly, at this time, a familiar "singing" came.
He stiffened his head and looked at the exit of the "Shipwreck Ditch", a pirate ship that had failed in his first robbery, with dozens of skeleton pirates on it, plus a naval corporal, singing the familiar pirate song in unison, while throwing hooks and ropes, and tying up his "Treasure" tightly.
The size gap between the two is much bigger than that of Donch and Nicholas.
But now it is very strange, like a little ant moving the "Gold Mine Devil" easily dragging the "King Kong-class" battleship to the secret realm of the island in the middle of the lake.
"Mr. Principal, this~this ......"
When it comes to the "collection" that he has worked hard and hard to rob, where does Nicholas still have the demeanor of a "legendary knight".
He turned back just in time to see Tang Qi casually summoning out the portal, ready to go back and change his clothes.
Seeing the nervousness under Nicholas's scarlet eyes, Tang Qi's face was full of smiles after the onset of bad taste.
"They're just transporting them back for you, and what you grab is still yours, but you have to remember to ask them for a drink. β
This sentence completely implemented the bad premonition in the hearts of the "weird victims" around him, and he was even more lost for a while.
And Nicholas, under the helmet, couldn't help but have a red glow of joy in his eyes.
"Another ......"
Tang Qi stepped through the portal, his figure disappearing, and the last words came.
"Don't rob those kind weirdos in the future, if we want to rob the big guys. β
When the weirdos heard this, they all showed joy again, and the Green Dragon Spine Lake once again became "the best place to live for the weird order and neutral camp in Mihuang City".
The red light in Nicholas's eyes froze, and in his mind, the existences that Tang Qi had killed in the past automatically appeared, and they immediately corresponded to the so-called "big guys", and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
"Is it a delusion? I feel like I'm on a thief ship?"
Nicholas looked at the majestic and magnificent "Secret Realm of Island in the Heart of the Lake" in the distance, and couldn't help muttering.
ps: The two chapters are one, so as not to wait for everyone. Tomorrow the fourth will be very stable, those guys who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, pay me the monthly pass, don't waste it on the last day.
