Chapter 1 Help
At the foot of the cliffs not far from the Rainbow, a figure was lying on a reef exposed by the low tide, and under the tattered clothes, several exposed wounds were laughing at their owner's incompetence with their mouths wide open, apparently he had just experienced a terrible battle. www.biquge.info The reef and the water beneath it were already red with blood, and several small sharks attracted by the blood were constantly spinning around the reef, jumping up from time to time to try to capture the owner of the blood.
Sieg was woken up by a cacophony of screams, trying to reach out to block out the glare of the sun, but the tingling sensations coming from several places on his body told him that his body was on the verge of being scrapped.
"At least six bones were broken, multiple internal organs were bleeding, and there were too many wounds to count...... Without treatment, there are probably only a few hours left to live. "I checked my physical condition a little bit with 'Yuan' (Note 1), but I didn't come to a very optimistic conclusion.
With a fluke mentality, he tried to activate the ability, but the wound that should have been healed instantly only came with an imperceptible tingling sensation, and he was not too disappointed about this, but was slightly glad that it was only all the 'contracts' that were lost, not the ability to read itself.
However, thinking of his miserable ability to strengthen the mind, Sieg frowned a little, if it was only this level of recovery strengthening, the injuries on his body could only be maintained at most to a level that would not worsen, but he could not stop those slowly bleeding wounds, if he did not only bleed, he would soon fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and at that time, he would not even be able to maintain his recovery power. He wanted to reach out and cover the wound a little to reduce the amount of bleeding, but the sharp pain in both arms at the same time told him that this simple action was now a luxury.
"Maybe today is my death!" Sieg smiled slightly bitterly: "Sure enough, what Master Satz said is right, I rely too much on my own telekinesis. "The master who taught him the ability to read once warned him that relying too much on the special ability of thinking and neglecting the improvement of basic ability and shortcomings is like a castle in the sky without a foundation, which cannot withstand the baptism of a slightly stronger storm. But at that time, he was obsessed with the strength of his reading ability, and he didn't listen to it at all, and now he can be regarded as reaping the consequences.
Thinking back to his master, Sieg remembered the battle just now.
"Arrogance, stupidity, these two words describe me, thinking that in the original book, You Kexin knew the ability of the brigade, and he could easily restrain them. I didn't expect to make so many preparations, but I couldn't even beat a lone Nobunaga. Pulling the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, Sieg remembered Nobunaga's desperate strength:
The three helpers he found were killed in seconds with just one face, but the developed Nian Seal Ability was unable to be used because he couldn't get close to the opponent at all, and the various 'contract' abilities that he was proud of were not able to break Nobunaga's defense because his own mental ability was too weak, and in the end, he could only rely on his slight speed advantage to avoid the opponent's direct attack, and most of the injuries on his body came from the rubble splashed by the opponent.
Remembering the random teleportation technique that burned all the 'contracts' at the end, he fled in a hurry, and Sieg slowly closed his eyes, "It's, it's so ugly......"
The three helpers who died, all friends made during the trial of the Seeger Hunters, joined his brigade to fight because of their trust in Sig, but lost their lives because of his blind confidence, and when he thought of this, Sigurt felt endless remorse and guilt gather in his heart, "I should ...... How do you explain to their relatives...... Perhaps, it would be a good choice to die quietly here......" Silently, Sigurg, who had made some kind of decision, lifted the strengthening of his resilience, and the blood that was slowly flowing out suddenly sped up, and the sharks in the water became more irritable because of the stimulation of blood.
…………
"As a man......" The voice from the wind came into the ears of Sieg, who was already a little delirious, making him unconsciously strengthen his hearing and want to hear more clearly.
"......" was silent for a moment, and the blood from Sig's wound returned to a slow pace, and he re-strengthened his body's resilience.
"Man......" A hint of determination flashed in his eyes that opened at some point, "how can you die here like a coward!" Remembering his responsibility for killing three of his teammates and his subsequent obligations, Sieg gritted his teeth and moved his body, closing the biggest wounds slightly to reduce the amount of bleeding, and concentrating all of his telekinesis on the recovery power that he was not good at to slow down the flow of life as much as possible.
On the other side, Kruger, who announced the dissolution of the Skull Pirates, quietly untied the boat on the side of the Rainbow and jumped while everyone was still grieving, so that he was not worried that his subordinates would follow him on an adventure, they were already tied up, and they were already past the age when they could fight with him at will, and the brothers were sincere to him, so he naturally couldn't pit the brothers. In order to prevent someone from getting hot-headed for a while, the sails and rudders of the Rainbow had been destroyed by him in advance, and he instructed the deputy captain and his brother-in-law in the navy respectively to keep an eye on those people who were prone to hot-headedness for the time being.
Quietly left, just because he didn't like the atmosphere of separation.
The boat slowly left the Rainbow and rowed to the port on the other side of the island, compared to the private port on the Rainbow's side, there were a large number of foreign merchant ships on the other side of the port, and Kruger's target was the ships that went to Boots Town.
As the penultimate stop in the North Sea before heading to the entrance of the Great Passage, Boots Town is a famous pirate supply point, where many pirate ships carry out the last crew replenishment before heading to the Great Passage, after all, the last stop is the Navy's territory, although the local Navy Captain is an incompetent person who doesn't care about anything, but no one will choose to recruit people there to provoke the Navy's tolerance bottom line except to replenish necessities.
Because of this, Boots Town has concentrated many evil parties and forces in Beihai, making it one of the most well-informed places in Beihai, and the main reason why Kruger chose it as his first destination.
The sound of the oars paddling across the water was very subtle, easily muffled by the cry from the Rainbow, but the strengthened hearing Sig accurately captured the rhythmic paddling in the noise, listening to the sound getting closer and closer to himself and about to pass by himself, Sig, who calculated the next distance, withdrew the strengthening of hearing and resilience, concentrated all his thoughts in his throat, took a deep breath and turned his head slightly, and yelled in the direction of Kruger: "......", and then fainted.
Note 1: Circle, an application of mind, can be understood as the ability to see and hear colors, and the protagonist's way of developing the circle tends to be microscopic rather than scoped.
Note 2: I see that some book friends don't understand why the protagonist dares to challenge the brigade, I will explain here that the protagonist has only seen the old version of the hunter, and his understanding of the brigade's ability is only in the GI chapter.
