Volume 2 Night City Chapter 14 Poseidon

The next morning, Yujali complained with a few ferry tickets and walked out of the dock bar, "It's all said, don't let her drink, really, it looks like she has to sleep for another day." ”

"Then what should I do, I didn't see it at a glance, so I ran out by myself." Konya, who followed Yujiali and carried the drunk Li Yaqi on her back, pouted and said, "Either you can leave her here." ”

"How is that possible...... "Well, there is nothing to help with now, anyway, and it's better to fall asleep so as not to get into trouble again." ”

After walking out of the dock bar, everyone came to the dock near the dock where various boats were moored.

"Which one are we going to take?" Miria asked.

"I'll take a look." Yugari took out the ticket and said, "It seems to be called the 'Poseidon'." I'll look for it. ”

"Look at that ship!" Bralla said, pointing to a huge multi-masted galleon not far away.

In front of everyone is a very luxurious sailing ship, the snow-white and bright body is more than 100 meters long, and the huge sail that stands tall is painted with the image of a roaring sea dragon. More than a dozen small boats were moored around it, and a large number of sailors were toiling to load and unload cargo.

"It's magnificent!" Everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

"I guess that's it." Eugari said, pointing to the back of the snow-white ship, a sailboat that was less than a fifth the size of it.

"It's not a boat, but ......," Conya said with a look of disgust, "I'm really ashamed of myself compared to the Big Mac in front of me." ”

In this way, Eugari and her sisters embarked on a journey to Treasure Bay on the merchant ship known as the Poseidon. Along the way, the wind and waves were calm and uneventful.

One evening, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the crimson sunset echoed the golden waves. At this time, a dark brown brig was riding the wind and waves on the shining sea. On the bow deck, Eugari and Miria are leaning against the fence, enjoying the colorful scenery with the sea breeze blowing in their faces, and the occasional seabird flying by adds a bit of life to this idyllic world.

"Won't they come out and enjoy the scenery on the sea?" Miria asked.

"They're not interested in the scenery, and they're sleeping in the cabins. Especially Yaqi, who can sleep for a day with a little wine. She had drunk all the beer she had brought from the dock bar today, and I don't think I would be able to wake up for a while. "What about Brala?" Didn't you come? ”

"Isn't it over there?" Miria gestured to Blala, who was carrying goods in the distance, and said, "He said to go and work for the shipowner to earn some pocket money." ”

"That's really hard." Yugari responded.

"Don't worry, it's nothing." Miria quipped, "Her strength and amount of food are not comparable to ordinary people." ”

"That's it." "Anyway, when we came, why didn't we ship from here to the Night City. Wouldn't it be faster if we went by sea? ”

"You can't go too big on this sea route." Miria explained, "You see, this area is full of islands, reefs, and so on, and it's impossible for a ship to get there. Even if it's a small boat, the closer it gets to the Jumbo Bay side, the slower it gets. Especially when passing through the vicinity of Quehari Island, it is very difficult to walk, and if you don't have an experienced captain and first mate, you won't dare to go through this sea area easily. Of course, there are other reasons. ”

"You seem to have said that you haven't been to the beach much before, so you know so well?"

"It's common sense!" Miria said proudly, "It's mentioned in all the books that introduce the transportation arteries of the Adventurer's Kingdom!" ”

"Yes......"

"Look at the west, the land on the horizon is the second largest island in the adventurer kingdom - Forget the Love Island, which is named after this ocean, we must go up and see it if we have the chance. I heard that the above specialty fruit is the only fruit in the world that can heal the wounds of love, and if Jiali suffers any trauma when she is in love in the future, remember to go over and taste it. Miria quipped.

"Forget it then...... "Yugari laughed awkwardly.

"After passing through the Strait of Forgetfulness and then passing through the island of Quehari, you will not be far from Jumbo Bay."

"There are so many islands in front of you, you must go up for sightseeing when you have the chance." Yugari said yearningly.

"The other islands are okay, but Quehari Island is basically inaccessible. At present, only licensed merchant ships are allowed to dock, and ordinary ships are not allowed to approach. Even merchant ships are only allowed to stay in certain trading areas and are not allowed to enter the island. Miria explained.

"Huh? Why is that? Yugari asked, puzzled.

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded, and the crew on deck immediately panicked.

"What's going on? What happened? Yugari asked, stopping a crew member running by.

The crew stopped and hurriedly explained, "Pirates! Pirates have been discovered. It's just a short walk ahead. With that, he hurried towards the cabin.

"Is there anything like this?" Yugari said in surprise.

"That's what I was going to say for something else." Miria added.

"Don't panic!" At this time, the captain on the deck, who was wearing silver armor and holding a pitch-black long sword, and had several long scars on his face, shouted: "Zhao Hai! You take the men to guard the hatch. Li Feng! Go tell the others to grab their weapons and assemble at the bow of the boat. Wang Dashan! Go to the cockpit, protect everyone, and hurry through the sea. ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" Those who were called replied loudly in turn.

"Others, take up arms, set up formation, and get ready for battle!" The captain shouted.

In the distance from the bow of the ship, a jet-black warship was hanging with a light blue sail painted on the sail, and a huge skeletal dragon head was painted on the sail, which was hurrying towards this side.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the jet-black warship ahead, two small brown boats suddenly rushed out from behind the reef on the right side of the Poseidon. Just as everyone spotted them, several huge fireballs struck the sails of the Poseidon like arrows of the wind, followed by more than a dozen arrows burning with raging flames. The sails were attacked by the flames and immediately burst into flames, causing a panic when the collapsing sails fell to the deck in disarray.

"Zhao Hai! Take some people to put out the fire first! Li Feng! Get ready for the right string! The pirates have climbed up! ”

With the captain's shout, the two boats touched the right chord of the Poseidon one after another. The pirates on the ship immediately threw out their claws and ropes, and rushed up in a hurry. At this time, Li Feng led a dozen or so crew members armed with knives, guns, and wooden sticks to bravely step forward and fight with the pirates.

Eucaria and Miria were just about to step forward to help, but they saw Blala, who was not far away, rushing forward with a battle axe in hand. Wielding a crimson-striped battle axe, she slashed the head of an unsuspecting pirate in the moment she charged. She then raised her tomahawk and slashed at another nearby pirate, who raised his shield in defense, and the shield was immediately cracked open, and the pirate was knocked out of the air, and the tomahawk slashed into the deck, leaving a deep rift.

At this moment, a pirate dressed in dark gray beside Blala stabbed her with two thin swords, and she immediately swept across with her battle axe, knocking the pirate and the rapier out together. At the same time, a huge fireball was launched from the top of the tomahawk, knocking into the air and burning along with the pirate who had fallen on the deck and the cargo around him.

"Don't fight with the boat!" Miria shouted as she rushed forward with a scythe in hand.

At this moment, the jet-black warship in front of him was already close at hand, and a huge gray-maned male lion was standing on the bow of the ship. Before the two boats could meet, the lion roared like a roar that pierced through the sky, and then, Tarzan rushed towards this side like a crush. It opened its jaws and swung its sharp front paws as it went on a rampage with impunity among the crew that had come to fend it off. In a short time, the besieging crew was staggered and crushed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain immediately stepped forward, raised his pitch-black sword and slashed at it. Although the male lion's movements were a little sluggish, he could not completely dodge the captain's attack, but the captain's long sword did not cause much damage to the heavy fur male lion, leaving only a shallow bruise.

The lion leaped to his feet and pounced on the captain. The captain hurriedly parried with his sword, and pushed the lion out as he fell. Before the captain could stand still, a black metal arrow shot from the direction of the bow and hit the captain in the shoulder. Then, a second, a third, and a series of arrows followed. The captain hurriedly fired arrows with his sword, then quickly retreated to dodge, but three or four arrows still hit him in the body.

At this time, a tall, thin man in a black robe and black trousers, facing Sven, had come to the bow of the boat. He held a metallic jet-black longbow, his slender eyes looked keenly here, and commanded ruthlessly: "Kill everyone first, don't leave a single one, don't be busy with the goods first!" ”

At the same time, a large number of pirates behind him were constantly climbing onto the deck, rushing towards the panicked crew with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and halberds. The wounded captain also drew his arrows at this time, and with the support of one of the crew members, he commanded the other crew members who rushed to the bow of the ship, and made a close encounter with the pirates who climbed up.

At this point, with the help of Eugari, Miria, and Brala, the battle for Right String is almost coming to an end. The pirates of the two small boats were either killed in the fire or escaped with injuries, and basically could no longer pose a threat to them.

So, Miria and Blana immediately rushed to the bow side of the ship to support.

"You go deal with that kitten, the leader is handed over to me!" Miria shouted.

When Brala heard this, she immediately rushed towards the male lion who was dancing in the crowd. She picked up her tomahawk and slammed it towards the lion's face. The male lion immediately dodged, barely dodging Brala's attack. Brala's tomahawk slammed into the deck, but Brala was not in a hurry to pull out the tomahawk, but took advantage of the situation and slammed it towards the lion, who was thrown out along with the deck.

"Don't dismantle the ship!" Miria shouted at Brala as she charged at the leader of the pirates.

The pirate leader, who was commanding at the bow of the ship, saw Miria rushing towards him, and immediately drew his bow and arrows. In an instant, a barrage of arrows shot at Miria. Miria wielded her scythe, fired her arrows, and leaped into the air, clenching the scythe in both hands and slashing at the pirate leader. Seeing this, the pirate leader hurriedly retreated and turned sideways to dodge. The scythe slashed through the air with a cold light, grazing the pirate leader's collar and charging towards the crowd behind him. The two pirates who were shot in the chest immediately spurted out a large amount of blood and fell to the ground.

After dodging Miria's attack, the pirate leader immediately raised his longbow and prepared to attack again. Without waiting for him to catch up on his arrows, Miria rushed forward with a brisk stride, wielding a scythe and engaging him in a melee fight.

Seeing that his master was entangled and could not get rid of it, the male lion immediately turned and retreated, intending to go to support. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brala immediately rose into the air, raising her tomahawk and smashing it with a roar. The lion scurried to dodge, but it was too late, and Brala's tomahawk slashed at the lion's hind limbs, tearing open its heavy skin and severing its leg bones, sending a large amount of blood gushing out like a spring. The lion screamed and immediately fell to the ground. However, before it could get up and flee, a huge fireball from the tomahawk headed straight for it. The lion let out a hoarse cry again, and at the same time was slammed into the fireball, and fell to the far deck twitching, and the deck where the fireball grazed also burst into flames.

The pirate leader was defeated by Milia's stormy melee attacks, and his body was already covered with numerous scars, and the blood that flowed red his black robe. Suddenly, he jumped backwards and left Miria's melee range. As soon as Miria was about to follow, three or five pirates swarmed up, blocking her path and fighting her.

Suddenly, a blue-and-white arrow shot through the crowd towards Miria's shoulder, and by the time Miria realized it, it was too late to dodge. The blue-white arrow slammed into the barrier in front of Miria in an instant, and then a layer of white cold air descended on Miria's surroundings, immediately slowing down the nearby crews. But Miria didn't seem to be affected, and she cleanly dealt with the pirates in her way, and then charged towards the pirate leader again. The pirate leader was surprised by this, and hurriedly retreated as he raised his longbow and fired a barrage of arrows. Miria snapped the arrow as she sped to close the distance between her and the pirate leader. Suddenly, a flying arrow turned into countless vines in front of Miria and firmly entangled Miria, but only for a moment, with a flicker of divine energy, the vines disappeared without a trace.

Just as the pirate leader was surprised, Miria finally rushed to him. At that moment, a tall, burly pirate suddenly rushed out from Miria's side, holding a sharp blade and slashing at her. Miria quickly dodged sideways. The pirate leader took the opportunity to distance himself from Miria once again.

As Miria tried to attack the pirate who had suddenly appeared, Bralla rushed forward with her tomahawk brandishing her tomahawk. The pirate leader raised his longbow and aimed at Brala, who was concentrating on the battle. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, which caught him off guard, and he was instantly knocked out by the staff swept by Yujiali and fell to the ground.

The captain immediately rushed forward with several crew members and fought with the pirates who had arrived to support. The pirate leader took this opportunity to escape from the battlefield under the cover of a large number of pirates, and was put on a life-saving boat. The pirates, who had lost their command, immediately collapsed, and in a short time they threw down their weapons and fled for their lives.

"Captain! There was a lot of goods and slaves being sold. Li Feng stood on the captured warship and shouted as he pointed to the cargo hold.

"What?!" The captain rushed over quite unexpectedly, carefully checked the situation in the warehouse, and said cautiously: "It seems that it should have just robbed a merchant ship that smuggled slaves." ”

At this time, Yujiali and the others also rushed over to see what was going on.

"Break their chains first. Li Feng, you go and call Zhao Hai and them over, drive this ship to follow our ship in a while, and go to Zhenbao Bay first. The captain commanded.

So, Li Feng immediately arranged for someone to open the shackles of the slave trade on the pirate ship. At this moment, a small girl with a golden doll head immediately rushed into the crowd, hugged Miria's legs and began to cry. On her slender wrists and ankles, there were clearly visible shackle marks.

"This ......" Miria was startled and didn't react for a moment.

"Maybe I'm scared by pirates." Yugari squatted down and stroked the little girl's soft blonde hair.

Miria immediately leaned down and hugged the little girl and kept comforting.

"Excuse me, what will happen to these people after that?" Eugari asked.

"Hmm...... I think when we get to Treasure Bay, these people and goods will be left to the Guild Alliance to deal with. The captain explained, "If it was really stolen from the slave traders, it is estimated that the goods will be auctioned off or left in the Guild Alliance. Is this man...... The child should be sent to a welfare institution, such as an orphanage or something. Others should be recommended to some guild that recruits members if they wish, or let them go wherever they want. ”

"I don't want to go to the orphanage! Wow, ahhhh The little girl cried and cried out at the captain's words.

"It's true that most orphanages don't have a good life, just barely making ends meet." The captain said helplessly, "However, we can't help it......"

"I used to be sold from a distant orphanage. I don't want to go back. Wow, ahhhh The little girl began to cry more and more sadly.

Eugarie and Miria sympathized with her, but they couldn't think of anything better. had to stay with the little girl all the way, constantly comforting her.
