Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Killing Machine (I)

Barbarossa landed on the deck, and after protecting Hayreddin, as soon as she raised her head, her beard grew wildly, forming clumps of hair like a strange python, and attacked Wallonia, while she had time to ask, "Are you alright?" ”

"One of them seems to have run away in a lifeboat." As he spoke, the fat on his fat face shook again because of the pain of the wound, and he said hideously: "When I catch that little bald head, I want to make him look good!" ”

"Redbeard" Barbarossa casually looked at the bad weather, and said indifferently: "This kind of weather, it is a big fate that he can survive." ”

On the other side, Wallon struggled to turn off the strange python formed by the hair, if Redbeard's ability had already surprised him inexplicably, then when he found that his knife had slashed on it, there was a burst of gold and iron clashing sounds, and only one or two hairs could be chopped, this surprise deepened.

Wallon knew that unless he stepped into the realm of being able to split gold and break iron as Koshiro said, he would not be able to help these hairs at all, but his swordsmanship was the worst among William's group, and even William had not been able to reach the realm of swordsmanship "cutting iron", let alone him, so he had nothing to do with Barbarossa's hair, which was as hard as iron.

He held on for a while, and without paying attention, Barbarossa's hair curled his hands and feet, and then gradually wrapped him up, revealing only a bald head.

Barbarossa controlled her fur and pulled Valon in front of her.

There was a hint of pain on Wallon's face, Barbarossa's hair was as hard as metal, and the strands of hair were like steel wires, which caused Wallon great pain as they were gradually tightened.

Hayreddin on the side covered his bleeding shoulders, looking at Wallon's painful look, and his scarred face showed a look of enjoyment: "Are you afraid?" ”

Wallon's face twitched, and then he spat on Hayreddin's face mixed with blood, this usually honest and honest young man, even now, was still not afraid, just gritted his teeth and said: "Someone will avenge me!" ”

Hereddin was stunned for a moment, slowly wiped the saliva off his face, and in the process, his complexion gradually became hideous, and let out a strange laugh: "Brotherly love, I appreciate you!" ”

……

Edmund's ears buzzed, first he was bombed, then hit by a mace, and finally he was dropped from the boat along with the lifeboat, at this time all the internal organs felt displaced, even if he was sitting in a small boat, the wind and waves still caused him to choke on the sea several times, and the small lifeboat could capsize at any time in this violent wind and rain.

Some sharks hovered around the two boats, and these intelligent creatures were waiting for the corpses that had fallen into the water.

The lifeboat had been swept away by the waves and the wind at a certain distance from the cargo ship, and there were no sharks around, so he couldn't care about them for the time being, Edmund only looked up, staring anxiously at the deck of the cargo ship, even if the rain soaked into his eyes.

He was not afraid of heaven and earth, and for the first time pleaded with the gods and Buddhas in his heart, but this temporary act of cramming Buddha's feet did not seem to work, and he watched a short figure being thrown from the bow of the cargo ship to the sharks.

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the sea and illuminating the figure in the air, the limbs of the short figure were empty, and blood was gushing, and the sleek head was very eye-catching under the thunder light.

Edmund's expression was distorted, tears mixed with rain kept sliding down his face, time seemed to stand still at this moment, the whole world seemed to lose color in his eyes, and all kinds of chaotic voices and conversations kept ringing in his ears.

Wallon's blood-drenched figure fell into the shark school with a "poof", instantly staining the sea red.

Edmund struggled to climb to the side of the boat, ignoring his injuries, and plunged headlong into the water, struggling to swim in the direction of the sharks, but he was wounded, and could only watch as the sharks fought for the winner, biting Wallon's corpse and swimming to the bottom of the sea.

Edmund roared in anger, but only exhaled two bubbles in the water.

……

Edmund had never understood why William, who was skilled in swordsmanship and clever in his mind, would mingle with the ordinary sailors, workers, and even fishermen who were ordinary on the ship and docks, and who had almost no merit in his eyes.

When William squatted in the middle of these ordinary people who only knew how to work hard and had no talent in their own right, he would never be the slightest impatient.

It wasn't until now that Edmund understood the meaning of William's doing.

Because of the collusion of Count Alcatio, Colonel Roy, Redbeard Barbarossa and others, the attack on the trade network of William and others in the Kingdom of Navia is all-round, not only limited to underground forces such as pirates, but also official forces - the navy of the 16th Division and the kingdom's military police.

The navy and the royal military police did not have photos of William and others, but this did not prevent them from arresting and interrogating suspicious people in the territory after sealing up those apparent supply points.

There was no doubt that Edmund's appearance was now full of the word "suspicious", his face was as pale as paper, his wounds were slightly swollen and white from the seawater, his right ear was covered with some burns, and his clothes were in tatters.

When Edmund, who was still unaware of the situation, struggled to swim to the shore of a village because the boat capsized, a young man who looked like a child from a poor family was the first to find him weak, but the boy did not think of looking for officials or the navy at all, but quietly carried him home and hid him alone.

The young man, Oliver, did this for the simple reason that he had worked on the docks, had met William and occasionally Edmund, and knew that the miserable man was a friend of William's.

When William mingled with these low-level people, he was also promoting his image and deepening his prestige in the hearts of these people, and this behavior would pay off at a critical moment, although these low-level civilians seemed to have little talent, but they were enough to act as William's eyes and ears.

Oliver chose to take the risk to save Edmund, not necessarily how noble it was, but he simply felt that compared to handing over Edmund to the old men of the Shanghai Army and officials on weekdays, he believed that handing over Edmund to William, who has always been bold and generous in front of people on weekdays, and who looked like he was righteous and squandering money, the other party would definitely not treat him badly.

There is no doubt that if William had not insisted on that seemingly useless act in the past, subtly exerted influence in the mixed docklands, and had not had a certain prestige in the hearts of the common people who begged for a living in the docklands, Edmund would have died.

Oliver was so bold that after quietly hiding Edmund for a few days and telling him about his being pursued, he agreed to Edmund's request and sent him to Momiji Village by hiding him in the secret warehouse of his fishing boat, avoiding the eyes and ears of the navy and the kingdom's army.

Edmund nearly lost consciousness countless times in the torrential rain, and only one firm thought sustained him to survive.

For the first time, Edmund felt fear, not because of death, but because he feared that he would not be able to avenge Wallon's tragic death, as he listened to the sound of the sea lapping and the soldiers walking on the deck.

The sound of the soldiers walking gradually faded away, but the last silly smiling face of Wallon involuntarily appeared in front of him, and Edmund in the darkness opened his bloodshot eyes and muttered to himself, "I will avenge you, Wallon." ”
