Chapter 32: Pirates
I haven't seen many undead in this world, only in the basement of the castle of the dead, most of which are still soulless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even though the Lich is a powerful necromancer, he has never summoned an undead spirit in front of me. Listening to An Ling say this, I don't understand why the humans in this world hate the undead, even if humans have a natural fear of the ugly appearance of the undead creatures, it should not be such a wide range of disgust.
I then asked An Ling this question, and she told me while drinking the black tea she had given me after dinner: "Not long ago, this world was invaded by the undead, and many people's relatives died in the war, so many humans hate the undead. ”
I calmed down and slowly accepted this message, the undead invaded or something, it seemed impossible, and it was not in the same world.
"The invasion of the undead has actually been many times, I don't know when some special spatial vortices began to appear, and many undead came out of here, when the vortex is large, the invasion of the undead will be stronger, and when the vortex is small, the invasion of the undead will be smaller." An Ling said.
After listening to this explanation, I wrote it down in my soul.
After Anling finished eating the food, we put the plate in the designated place, and I took Anling back to our abode, and after walking once, the route would be recorded in the sea of my soul. After eating, we were actually bored, and we really had nothing to do, so we started meditating. The effect here is much worse than the meditation room in the Lich Castle, which is filled with various magical elements every day, and can be easily absorbed and domesticated when meditating.
But meditating here can hardly feel the magic elements, the only thing I can feel is a large number of water magic elements, fortunately I and the summoner's system can domesticate the water magic elements, the magicians of other departments here, can only meditate through the magic stone called the magic stone, it is very reluctant to keep the magic power from degrading, all the magic elements have a strong rejection, the sea is so abundant water attribute magic elements, the magic elements of other systems are completely excluded There is no living space.
Killing pirates is a very boring activity. The pirates and all the fleets could only take a few fixed routes, and the other unknown routes were either reefs or ferocious sea beasts, or strong sea breezes or other ocean whirlpools, and they were basically certain to die if they left the route.
The reason for the boredom is that we have to wait for the pirates to come and rob us.
After we had been meditating for a short time, we heard the sounding stone on the table say that the magicians who knew how to conjure up in the central control room. The so-called illusion is actually a kind of water magic, which uses the refraction of sunlight to deceive people's vision. I just memorized it, I couldn't read it at all, but as long as I could crack it.
Soon after, I heard other humans on the ship say that to wait for the rabbit is to release illusions on the whole ship, to change the appearance of the ship, or to be splendid, or the atmosphere is simple, or low-key and heavy, so that people can seem to think at a glance that such a ship can only be owned by the Great Chamber of Commerce.
I listened for a while, and the man said that he had participated in the last anti-piracy campaign, and that he had used the same method for decades, but the pirates had to take the bait.
The timing of the operation was chosen at random, and the pirates had no way of distinguishing between a merchant ship under the cover of illusion and a real merchant ship. Actually, just unleash a large amount of fire magic before the robbery, I thought.
But then I thought that if I thought about it, the entire merchant ship might not be able to be saved, let alone robbed, and besides, there might not be so many magicians among the pirates who could release such a huge amount of magic, with my current strength, I might be able to release one of the three combined.
It's not too boring at sea, of course that's for me.
Requio has a slight human reaction called seasickness, but meditation can overcome it. She had to alternate between eating and meditating every day, as well as sleeping, which she told me would gain weight soon after. Isn't a strong body a normal social need? Does human society need thin human beings?
Well, it doesn't make a difference whether a magician is fat or thin.
From time to time at night, I go to the top of the deck to look at the stars in the night sky, which is the only thing in the human world that I feel and that can attract my soul.
I've been on deck during the day, but I don't go during the day after being exposed to the nasty sun a few times. There is a transparent shield around the deck to block the strong sea breeze, which is also the equipment of high-level ships, which is basically not available on pirate ships, they have lived in such an environment for a long time, and slowly they can adapt to such a wind by their bodies alone.
I am a child of the wind, but not the wind of this world, but the wind of the undead world.
I haven't been on the deck since I've been to the training place for the warriors, there are all kinds of exercise equipment, and all kinds of weapons, many of the metal platforms covered by shields, a pair of humans are fighting, some with bare hands, some with different wooden weapons, and on each platform there is a strong human sitting on it, and from time to time he will stop two humans who are entangled and inseparable, or block a fatal attack.
They call it competition. I feel ridiculous.
What's the point of fighting without the purpose of killing, hitting places that are not fatal, not afraid of developing a habit of attacking like this in battle? How can it be refreshing to fight without any blood! So I played.
My strength comes from the base of my soul, although I can not use much, but the power generated by the base can suppress most of the human beings here, but I can't find the north in the first game of the game.
My strength is strong enough, and my body is flexible enough, but my body is completely uncoordinated, and my attacks will basically be dodged by others, and in such dodges, I will be attacked by opponents.
While the skeleton's sword and shield skills can do some good, overall I've lost miserably here. Later, I had to switch to the rogue tactics, put up with other people's attacks, take the opportunity to catch the part they attacked, and then just attack them. My strength is enough to catch them and keep them free, but then the attack will be blocked by the person sitting next to me, who knows my strength, and if I fight it, it will definitely kill me.
After I did this a few times, he reluctantly said that this style of play was too scoundrel and completely contrary to the original intention of the competition.
After a few later years, I began to slowly observe the fighting style of this group of humans, the skills and angles of their strength, and some other details, and gradually I was able to interact with them. The ability to learn is what I'm most proud of, and humans are so much worse at it.
・・・
There was a loud roar, and the hull of the ship shook violently. I woke up from meditation and regained control of my body.
"Listen, the people on the boat, put down the protective cover, set up a bridge to connect the Xuan, let us go up, and hand over half of the goods, otherwise you will be buried in the belly of the fish tonight." A loud voice came in, it was a pirate, and it was finally there. It's going to be dawn soon, and I really know how to choose the time, and the human will should be the most fragile at this time, I think
The summoner also woke up at this time, "Pirates? She asked.
I said yes.
Then we walked out of the house, and there were many people talking excitedly in the hallways outside, running in one direction, dressed in pajamas, only a few wearing the standard armor that had been issued down, as if they were not going to fight, but to rest. I put leather armor on An Ling, and I also put on myself, An Ling's body is very weak, after all, he is only a magician.
Countless people with weapons in their hands and pajamas lined up at the wide exit to the deck, and the rustling sound came from outside, it was the sound of the bridge sticking out, and with a bang, countless snapping footsteps came, and the pirates began to board the ship.
"Open the door for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will see what goods are inside, and delay such a precious sleeping time for the uncle"
"Yes, yes, wait a minute, we're just selling some meat products, a small business."
"Hmph, who are you fooling with such a big boat for a small business, it's a fool to be a fool, but why is your ship so quiet?"
The voices outside are getting closer.
"Haha, because the masters are waiting for you here" A big man couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly opened the door and jumped out screaming, the huge hook halberd in his hand was sprinkled with cold light, with this roar, as if in a calm lake, suddenly burst out of a magic cannonball, so all the human beings rushed out like crazy, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing towards the pirates who were about to open the door.
By the time the summoner and I rushed out the door, the poor pirates on deck had all been killed, and the group of pirates who were about to come up from the bridge were retreating in horror, and although there was confusion, none of them had fallen. They shouted: "It's a torpedo, let go of the magic cannon and sink them!" ”
It was only then that I saw the face of the pirate. I don't know if it's because it's dark or for other reasons, they are all darker, only their two eyes exude a shining light, turning from time to time, their clothes are tattered, both men and women hang on their bodies like strips of cloth, entwined with each other.
They clenched the weapons in their hands and looked at us unwillingly. The Corsair was about the same size as ours, a medium model, with dozens of square openings gradually opening in the sides of the hull, from which cylindrical metal barrels protruded.
It's really a magic cannon, this is a high-end product, and it seems that the strength of this pirate encountered is not bad in so many quantities. By the time the magic cannon was fired, our ship had re-shrouded, and their magic cannon had caused the hull to shake dramatically, but it was unable to do any damage.
"Let's go," a human shouted, waving his weapon and rushing onto the bridge, and the humans behind him woke up like a dream and rushed up.
At this time, some of the well-dressed soldiers stepped out of the hull and came to the deck, and they smiled softly, "You are not calm enough, watch the veterans put on a show for you," said the leading soldier, and then he drew his long sword.
The sun leaked from the horizon at this time, and a ray of sunlight just hit his sword, which was very dazzling.
