"You don't look as happy as you seem."

On the night of February 14, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, the edge of the bonfire carnival scene belonging to the Broken Bridge of the Haven gradually joined the figure of a gray-robed magician, and the figure named Linyuan Broken Water then waved his hands and escaped from the range of the countless pirates in front of him, and walked to Tie Lin in the corner with the wine glass that was stuffed into his arms at the same time: "Is it because of the relationship between several brothers who have died?" ”

"It's seven."

Picking up the wine glass in his hand and drinking it down, Tie Lin's gaze did not take his eyes off the sea in front of him, which had just recovered from the Void Storm: "The crew of the Seven Steel did not die on the journey of the Great Voyage, but died on those inexplicable monsters, their arrival was more sudden and mysterious than the sea beasts of the deep sea, and the power and fighting methods used were all things we have never seen before. ”

"It's all just because of one of my orders." Speaking of this, Captain Hook sighed and slowly lowered the wine glass in front of him: "If I hadn't ordered the shelling at that time - no, it should have been earlier, if I hadn't ordered to turn around and return......"

"Don't blame yourself, the dead pirates will be sad." Answering in a low voice, Duan Qing then used the same indifferent tone to break the gradually sinking atmosphere in this corner: "They died for your choice, if you yourself don't want to be happy and proud of it, but feel sad and feel sorry for yourself here, then what's the point of their deaths?" ”

"Meaning...... Scold. ”

His eyes gradually narrowed, and Tie Lin, whose vision became clear, sighed leisurely after a while: "That's right, I have carried countless lives on my body, and there seems to be nothing more than these seven." ”

"That's right, you're a famous pirate captain who has sailed the endless seas, even to the easternmost seas." Duan Qing smiled and raised his wine glass: "How could you stop yourself because of this kind of encounter?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's still far from the easternmost sea." Pointing to the right where they were, Tie Lin's gaze then withdrew from the deep sea: "And after this battle, I'm afraid we will have fewer thoughts of conquering the ocean...... How. ”

"You don't look so happy, do you?"

It seemed that he had just begun to pay attention to the appearance of the gray-robed magician in front of him, and the pirate captain's eyes began to look up and down: "Tell me, what kind of problem did you encounter?" ”

"Well—"

Putting on a hesitant look, Duan Qing, who was sitting beside Tie Lin, scratched his head and began to squeeze his eyebrows, and the bonfire surrounded by the pirates not far away also kept crackling behind Duan Qing's back at this time, illuminating the back of the gray-robed magician: "Originally, I was thinking about how to convince you with all kinds of gorgeous words, but now it seems that there is no need." ”

"Here's the thing."

Hiding some of the identities of the players of the Qingling Adventure Group, Duan Qing gave a general introduction to the troubles they were facing in the simplest way: "...... Even if it was out of gratitude to Mr. Molnar for saving his life, we acceded to his request, but we are not only understaffed now, but we also have no good solution. ”

"Repair this bridge...... ? ”

Following Duan Qing's introduction, his gaze gradually extended to a farther place, and Tie Lin's action of pouring wine also delayed for a longer period of time: "Speaking of which, we have always regarded the part of this broken bridge that cannot be connected to the direction of the mainland as a trace of the ancient ruins after it has been worn out by time, but we have never thought about how to repair it. ”

"Is it possible?"

"You shouldn't ask me that kind of question." Turning his head to look at Duan Qing, Tie Lin then slowly put away the wine jug he had poured down: "I heard that it is full of a large number of magic circuits, and without professional drawings and magic knowledge, even if it is repaired in a physical sense, I am afraid it will not be able to stop the invasion of the Endless Sea." ”

"If you want to repair this bridge, you first need to have the power to conquer the Endless Sea." With a slight sigh, Duan Qing then shifted his gaze from the wine in front of him to the deep sea under the dark night sky: "But this is a power that has been raging in the sea since the birth of the free world, how can it be dealt with so easily." ”

"Since Molnar has entrusted you with such a complex and difficult task, I think he must have thought of a countermeasure for him." Tie Lin, who didn't put on a sighing expression like Duan Qing, raised his head and took a sip of wine, then replied with a smile: "As long as you follow Mr. Molnar's orders and act according to the methods he gave, these problems should also be solved." ”

"If only it were that simple." Muttering in a low voice, Duan Qing turned to cover up the topic with a dry smile: "Then if Molnar and we can come up with a solution, can you and your Steel Horn help us accordingly?" ”

"Just working and contributing? That doesn't sound like a difficult task. Looking at Duan Qing's face with inexplicable eyes for a while, Tie Lin lowered his head slowly: "Okay, anyway, we have all turned around and returned here, and it's okay to stay here for a while." ”

"Why did you make such a choice?"

After looking at the pirate captain in front of him for a while, Duan Qing suddenly asked this question: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious - what were you thinking when you made up your mind to turn around and return?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's just providence." His expression returned to the same indifference as before, Tie Lin raised his head and brought the wine glass in front of him again: "In the battle with the Black Palm during the day, we were also taken care of by a lot of you, so when I saw the change in the haven, I didn't hesitate at all. ”

"I didn't expect Captain Tielin to be a man of temperament." So Duan Qing raised his glass: "Cheers to your shelling, if it weren't for your long-range assistance, we might not have been able to survive in the end." ”

“…… Hum. With a cold snort of disdain, Tie Lin finally touched the wine glass in his hand with the wine glass in Duan Qing's hand, and then the action of drinking it was accompanied by the dancing and spinning bodies of the pirates who were still noisy in the distance, and slowly fell in the light and shadow of the bonfire: "Although I have been a pirate for so many years, the adventurous spirit in my heart has not retreated in the slightest, and any pirate with an adventurous spirit will make the same choice as me after seeing that strange scene." ”

"And what did you all see?"

"We saw the dark sky."

Looking at the other party's expression that gradually became serious, Tie Lin, who was facing this question, gradually revealed a faint color of memory: "The sky seems to be cut off from the blue, the sea is divided like a divided earth, the purple lightning is more terrifying than a storm, and the monster cry like hell......"

"You should know what happened next, we rushed into this twisted sea with our reckless ship skills and hot heads, and fought with the monsters that suddenly appeared on our ship." Speaking of this, his voice paused slightly: "I don't know how long it took, a white light suddenly appeared in the direction of the shelter in front of me, and the white light was as bright as the bright moon that appeared in the dark night, smearing the originally dark and terrifying sky into white. ”

"The memory behind is a little unclear, anyway, the battle suddenly came to an end after that white light." A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Duan Qing again, there was also a hint of inquiry in his gaze: "A warrior from the City of Freedom, a friend of the former candidate for the throne. ”

"If possible, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

*******************************

The night that belonged to the Haven gradually subsided in such a conversation, bringing the pirates' sleepless laughter to the dawn of the next day, and the members of the Green Spirit Adventure Party then ignored the chaotic sight of the pirates lying on the ground, and began a new and busy life of their own: "Okay, okay, let's start working - don't worry about these guys, right?" ”

"Of course you don't have to, just follow the plan agreed upon last night, unless you really want to be locked up here forever."

"How is that possible? Feed! Walk away, you go to the south, I'll go to the north, and as for the surveys on the east and west - damn it, what about the guy who claims to be fully responsible? ”

"I guess I'm drunk. I'm going to get him out. ”

Slowly dragging out a certain gray-robed magician who was buried in the pirate pile, the white-haired woman named Xue Lingphantom Ice then carried Duan Qing to the corner of the broken bridge with a sigh, and the sea breeze that still looked extremely fresh also became the only foil for the two players at this time, slowly reflecting their lonely figures sitting and lying around the broken bridge. In the time that passed with the spilling sun, the white spear and the long sword wrapped in rags crossed the back of the woman behind her, and then sat motionless at the very edge of the broken bridge, until a faint murmur sounded behind her, and when the sound of squirming appeared behind her, the white-haired woman who was constantly blowing in the sea breeze slowly said her next sentence: "Awake? Nailed it? ”

"That's it." There were no extra words, and Duan Qing, who was lying flat on the ground, replied in an indifferent voice: "So you-"

"Hugh has to mention it again." As if he could see Duan Qing's hesitant expression at this time, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who didn't look back, made a posture of getting up: "Let's start." ”

"There's a lot of work to do."

The silent atmosphere diffused along the broken bridge with this bland feeling, and even the sea breeze that kept blowing around it seemed that it couldn't stop this vaguely revealing unquestionable feeling, and Duan Qing, who was no longer talking, then raised his finger with a wry smile, and gradually spread his magic perception along the surroundings of this sea area. The faint sound of communication then gradually sounded in the air between Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, accompanied by the rattling sound of the waves crashing around the broken bridge from time to time, and he kept gesturing with his fingers to the gray-robed magician in front of him for a long time before slowly retracting his attention from the boundless sea in front of him, but the seriousness and sadness on his face became much more obvious: "It's really far away." ”

"Can you really estimate the distance?"

"Probably because of the mark that Molnar imprinted on the back of my neck, my perception of the magical structures around this sea seems to have become much clearer."

"So because of the restrictions laid down by Molnar, your power has become stronger? Is this one of the few good news we've had in a while? ”

It seems that there is no momentum from the Extreme Tailai, and the good news from the Qingling Adventure Group is not only the one in front of them, but the pirates who have gradually sobered up from the hangover have also learned of Captain Tielin's promise during this time, and have moved out some of the cargo at the bottom of the box on their ship. Confirming the fineness of these magic gems and elemental instruments, Duan Qing and the others' eyes then became much brighter, he took the sketch he had just obtained and kept comparing it with the magic gem in front of him, and finally nodded his head with a satisfied face: "It's okay, it should be enough to build a magic circuit...... Are you really willing to donate all these things to us? ”

"Of course not, the accounts are all on your heads." With his arms crossed and a look of reasonableness, Tie Lin, who was standing on the side, twisted his beard and replied: "Considering the affection between us, I can waive the cost of transporting these goods, but the principal cannot be less. ”

"Will you use the treasures found by the Black Palm to pay off your debts?" So Duan Qing pointed to another mast that was faintly exposed by the broken bridge not far away: "The pile you left on the ship before, plus the part that Roger later confessed——"

"What? Rogoff? There were still people alive on that ship? ”

A small commotion then rose between the two ships, and finally became lively as the pirates pulled out the sight of Rogoff, and the remnants of the Black-Clawed Pirate Regiment, who had been hiding in the ship during the previous Void Invasion, did not seem to see an opportunity to escape, and had to be dragged out of the cabin by the pirates like a roast pig hanging from a rope. Hurriedly intervened to stop them from wanting to execute the survivor, and the Qingling Adventure Group represented by Duan Qing then tried to calm down this temporary chaos, and the figure belonging to Molna also gradually appeared in the later stage of this chaos, and the tall figure and the identity of the Lord of the Haven also successfully suppressed everyone who was clamoring: "Don't argue, do you still have time to quarrel over this kind of thing?" ”

"We were wrong, boss! Let's go and keep working hard boss! ”

"It's not easy to feed so many of you, don't add any more trouble to me."

Unconcerned by the respectful expressions expressed by several players, Molnar, who turned around and was about to leave, then waved his hand: "But for the sake of your hard work, I'll tell you another good news." ”

"She's awake."
