1405 Old Edge
"Stupid adventurer, you don't really think this is the end of it, do you?"
The atmosphere seemed to have dropped to the freezing point with the appearance of Xue Ling's words, and even the white-haired woman herself who spoke out had a cold look on her face at this time, and she had become the person standing at the forefront of the Qingling Adventure Group at this time, facing the majestic coercion of the Iron Hook Captain who was close at hand and his words like the waves of the angry sea: "Based on your words alone, I can take it as the previous provocation did not happen?" Did you all grow up dreaming? β
"I know those words from my teammates may have been a little disrespectful to you." Responding coldly to the other party's voice, Xue Lingxuan's indifferent expression also took on a bit of indifference at this time: "But presumably, Your Excellency Tielin, who is dominating the Endless Sea, should not lose his temper so much because of these few words." β
"After all, it's not in the interest of a pirate." With one hand behind his back, Duan Qing on the side also let out a timely laugh at this time: "It is not in line with the mind that a man at sea should have." β
ββ¦β¦β
Without answering Duan Qing and the others' words directly, Tie Lin just looked up at the faces of Duan Qing and the others with eyes like devouring people, and the sword lights that lit up around him also followed the footsteps of those pirates who had been shocked before and ran back in unison, shouting to surround Duan Qing and their figures: "At this time, you still want to be reasonable? Do you look down on us Tilam pirates? β
"Well, I'll admit that today's beams may be a bit big."
The free other hand gestured to the surroundings, and Duan Qing, who secretly took a step back, then also fell his gaze on the surrounding pirates: "You are all happy and hateful people, and things that are difficult to calm down naturally happen often, since we can't communicate with peaceful methods such as words, then naturally we won't stick to it all the time." β
"You're right, most of the men at sea will solve it in a man's way."
Gangfeng flashed in front of Duan Qing's nose, and the voice belonging to Tie Lin finally sounded in the silence of the clamor of countless pirates: "Compared to your rhetoric at this time, I appreciate what that man did just now, even if he is the culprit who provoked us, he also paid the price for it." β
"But he's already lost." Speaking of this, Captain Hook pointed to the figure behind the other party, the giant axe warrior who was being placed on the ground by Gedmayne, who vomited blood: "Your appearance interferes with the duel between us, and it is also an insult to the dignity of men, I did not immediately bury you in the sea to feed the fish, it is already the greatest mercy to you!" β
His voice became louder and louder, and finally he seemed to turn into thunder and rushed towards Duan Qing and the others, Duan Qing's face facing this fierce wind did not change in the slightest at this time, and even showed a smile in the end: "Really? But I have the impression that pirates are a bunch of people who like to take advantage of the situation. β
"What did you say?"
"I don't mean anything disparagement."
The rushing wind became more violent at this moment, so that Duan Qing had to use the magic shield to resist the incomparably powerful coercion in front of him, but the expression on the face of the gray-robed magician at this time was still as light and relaxed as ever: "I admit the great strength of His Excellency Tielin, one of the owners of the throne, and I also admit that this time we lost, but compared to the strength and dignity between men, the chance of surviving and the benefit of fighting for life should be more important things." β
"Your Excellency brought so many subordinates with you to finally come here alive in the storm outside." The magic shield as thin as a cicada's wings became the reef used to resist the raging waves of the angry sea at this time, Duan Qing smiled towards the bridge not far away: "With the vision and judgment of Your Excellency who has been a pirate for a long time, you shouldn't do such a thing as giving up your life and disregarding the life and death of your subordinates, right?" β
"Lay down your life? It's up to you? As if he understood the implied meaning of the other party's seemingly relaxed words, Tie Lin's bulging black robe and angry image also got a little closer as he stepped forward again: "I can't believe it, do you still think that you weak adventurers can threaten our lives?" β
"Who knows."
The blood-colored brilliance gradually rose around Duan Qing, gradually wrapping the white-haired body of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and the silent killing intent, together with the large shield raised by Gedmayne, who gradually came forward in the rear, forced the pirates who were waving their swords and shouting to surround them back a little: "Although one of us has already become a loser in the battle just now, I believe that our small adventurous group has already shown enough combat effectiveness just now, if Your Excellency still continues to hold on to hostilityββ"
"Then this battle is destined to lose both, and our adventurer's side is not afraid to take it."
The sound of the clamor then turned into a sense of hesitation, and the pirates surrounding them also stopped their hesitation with the spread of this blood-colored breath, and their eyes that were originally staring at their prey also swayed left and right in the direction of their respective companions, and finally converged towards the position of their captain. The momentum on his body still did not decay in the slightest, and the gaze of the captain of the Iron and Steel named Tie Lin on Duan Qing's body did not change for a long time, until the silent atmosphere that was completely different from the storm in the outside world began to spread on the side of this bridge, and his devouring feeling turned to the side of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice with the movement of frowning: "...... The aura on you is very similar to that of the person I know. β
"Your name is Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, right?"
The momentum surrounding the burly man slowly decreased, and at the same time fell the metal iron hook that he had been holding in front of him: "The adventurer who once participated in Tristan's War for the Throne and later became the Witch of Darkness?" β
ββ¦β¦ Do you still recognize me? β
The white spear had been dyed red by the breath of blood, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had pulled out the posture and maintained a fighting posture, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you disappear into the sea since that War of the Thrones?" β
"Don't underestimate our pirate intelligence relationship, we are still very well informed." Holding his hands, Tie Lin's gaze gradually calmed down as the surrounding pirates hurriedly retreated and put away their weapons: "In our sources, you have become a murderer who burns and loots everywhere, and a pioneer who repeats the attack. β
"Sounds like you pirates' reputation, doesn't it?" Exchanging glances with Duan Qing beside him, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who replied, then quietly put away his posture: "But I don't think that these names of mine will be of any help to the interests and friendly relations between us." β
"Of course it doesn't help." Glancing coldly at the white-haired woman and Duan Qing beside her, the expression on Tie Lin's face, who didn't know what the past had done, became a little colder: "But it's just because there have been a few faces, so it's just a relationship of acquaintance." β
"I thought you were acquaintances." Duan Qing on the side let out a few wry smiles at the right time: "In this way, we can be regarded as resolving a crisis and forming a good fate-uh." β
He stopped his words, and the expression on his face fluctuated a little with the magic shield that had not yet been removed, and the face pointed by the suddenly raised iron hook also showed an embarrassed appearance at this time because Tie Lin stared directly at his gaze, but soon relaxed again in the reaction of the other party's gaze to the side: "Pirates are all men who live and die with waves and dangers, so pirates have never been afraid of challenges and threats, but this time...... Because I know the strength and character of this woman, I will trust you for once. β
"So we don't have to fight?" Sighing and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Duan Qing then asked tentatively, "Are we safe?" β
"An Jie, take the rest of the people ashore." Ignoring Duan Qing's question, Tie Lin turned his head and shouted in the direction of a certain pirate behind him: "Leave these people alone, clean up our mess, carry the wounded to the tower, and count how much water and food we still have by the way." β
"I'll personally visit the owner of the haven and see if I can get some material help." Speaking of this, the captain shook off his black coat and turned to walk in the direction he came: "As for the adventurers in front of you: if they dare to make any more threats or insults, don't hesitate to kill them allβhuh?" β
He stopped, and his gaze suddenly fell in a certain direction near the back of the pirate team, and a maid player who was standing there quietly at some point also tilted his head, and motioned to Tie Lin with his short hair and cute smile that moved slightly in the wind, "Hello, Mr. Tie Lin. β
"You are ββ?"
I don't know if I felt an incredible threat from the maid in front of me or felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from her, the movements and expressions of the captain of the iron hook stopped for a moment again, and the exclamations of the pirates who suddenly scattered around him immediately sounded Duan Qing's shout, as well as the embarrassing action of the gray-robed magician who wanted to rush forward but didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool: "Don't don't misunderstand!" She's just ...... Well, it's just a habit of standing behind other people! β
"Ning Lan, there is no more fighting, come back." As if he also felt the weakness of this explanation, he then beckoned in the direction where Ning Lan, who was standing on the other side, said, "We still have a lot of things to do." β
"Boss! Top dog! β
Before Duan Qing could finish his words, a pirate who had just climbed ashore from the edge of the broken bridge suddenly shouted and rushed into the crowd, sensing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he then suppressed the words he had just wanted to shout urgently, and instead transmitted the stumbling voice to the ears of Tie Lin, who was looking at him: "Old-captain, it's not good!" β
"The woman we picked up, her condition seems to be getting worse again!"
*************************************
"I didn't expect that my attention was only diverted for so little time, and you guys made such a big fuss."
After a period of time, inside the tower, the rotunda, which originally seemed relatively wide, was a little crowded at this time, and the tall figure that had been staying above the tower also appeared among the crowds filled with members of the Qingling Adventure Group and the crew of the Steel Pirate Ship, and the magical light that appeared between the heads and faces covered by the hood also took on a bit of fluctuation at this moment: "Almost a fight?" They are all evacuees for the rest of their lives, and it is not a good thing to have trouble each other. β
"There were just some conflicts, and it didn't matter." Xue Ling, who was in charge of Qingling's work, replied with a smile: "After all, we are the first time we have seen these pirates since entering this sea area, and there are some mistakes in dealing with them, as the head of the regiment, I can still understand it." β
"It's really the only time I've ever seen an adventurer here, but it's not the first time this group of pirates has been here." Indicating the last pirate to enter the door in the direction he should go, the voice of explanation belonging to Molna then sounded in front of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "It is precisely because of this that I let them in so confidently. β
"It seems that in the past thousand years, there must have been a lot of people passing through this safe haven." Glancing at the mast looming on the edge of the bridge outside the tower, Xue Lingbing said in a deep voice: "This also confirms that the north and south seas in the east of the Free Continent can actually communicate with ships, right?" β
"The north and south of the Endless Sea would have allowed ships to communicate with each other." Glancing at each other with strange eyes, Molnar then bowed his head as if he remembered something: "Of course, that was before the bridge could still function normally, and now not only here, but the entire bridge is close to being abandoned. β
"Otherwise, there would be no storms and shipwrecks." With the same sigh, Xue Ling's gaze turned to the tower: "There won't be so many wounded." β
"Don't worry, the shelter receives victims of different grades and degrees every year." Molnar's voice then followed him as he left and walked deeper into the hall: "It's not my job, but I've always had a lot of experience dealing with the wounded and how to help them. β
"Unless there's something seriously injured that I've never seen before." Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked in the direction that Xue Lingphantasm Ice was looking at at this time with the same gaze: "For example, the lady you brought back with them...... Not. β
"Her name is Violet, isn't she?"
