1408 Attack of the Void
"Thank you for the fire wine you sent earlier."
After a period of time, on the outside of the broken bridge, the captain named Tie Lin then had a unique gray-robed figure belonging to Duan Qing beside him, and he just stood in place after touching his nose for a long time without speaking, and then the indistinct words of the black-robed captain in his ears sounded first: "It is a small luck to be able to taste this delicacy far away from the mainland." β
"It's a personal belongings of our regiments, a personal gift from them." Pointing to the back of the rising sun that was still fighting with the pirates in front, Duan Qing unconsciously pulled out a smile: "As long as the captain doesn't mind that he is still acting like this." β
"Nonsense? This is a normal way of communicating. β
The hand holding the wine jug paused for a moment, and then Tie Lin let out a laughing voice: "Although the strength is very weak, this warrior is a real man, even if he is seriously injured by me, he will still get along with us in a man's way." β
"Don't worry, those little cubs under my command are still a little measured." He suppressed his laughter for a few moments, and then returned his gaze to the great axe warrior who had already hugged the pirates under him and fell to the ground: "This is just a normal exercise, it often happens on our ocean voyages, and the battle-hardened pirates will always come up with this way of wrestling and punching to pass the time when they are bored...... Not. β
"What, you're interested in participating?" His voice paused for a moment, and then his disdainful gaze fell on Duan Qing next to him: "You better forget it, a weak magician, I'm afraid he can't even punch him." β
"I didn't mean to." Without the mockery in the other party's words at the regular meeting, Duan Qing replied indifferently: "I'm just a little curious about the pirates' usual lives, that's all. β
"Paying for money with life, licking blood with a knife, there is nothing to understand." The corners of his mouth fell back slightly, and Tie Lin's deep voice returned to the action of raising the wine jug: "My steel trumpet never accepts magicians, and those fools who are weak in body and arrogant in heart cannot withstand the wind and waves of the sea at all. β
"After all, it's a gathering place for elemental storms, and no magician dares to live in this kind of place for a long time." With a wry smile, he looked at the dark storms and waves that were close at hand, but had no effect on them, and Duan Qing replied helplessly: "But if the strength is strong enough to a certain extent, there will always be magicians who are stronger than the pirates." β
"For example, the one in front of us."
Quietly signaling in the direction of the tower behind him, Duan Qing also found a bit of a chilling feeling from Tie Lin's gaze: "I don't know how much Captain Tie Lin knows about this Mr. Molnar?" β
"You want to get information from us again, little one."
Glancing at Duan Qing deeply, there was no hostility in Tie Lin's voice: "Since I returned to my old business, we have not crossed the Bridge of Miracles from this end of the earth many times, and the communication with this Mr. Molnar is even rarer, usually just to say hello and pass through here after getting the permission of the other party. β
"So I have very little information I can tell you." A gleam in the Hook Captain's eyes flashed, "If it were possible, I'd like to know what he could do to conjure up so many resources." β
"What, the nature of being a pirate is at work again?" Duan Qing quietly reminded the other party: "Molna's reputation should also be known to you throne holders, even if he really has a huge treasure trove at the ends of the earth, I'm afraid you won't have any chance to snatch it." β
"I don't need you to remind me, of course I know that." Raising the flask in his hand again, Tie Lin replied with a disdainful expression: "What's more, my crew is still receiving his relief, I will not do anything against morality." β
"Mr. Tielin's style is admirable."
Bending his waist again, Duan Qing, who bowed and saluted, had a glimmer of light in his hidden eyes: "Your presence has changed my prejudice against pirates in the past, and in my impression, pirates are a bunch of ungrateful bastards who will ruthlessly abandon even their own injured teammates." β
"Most of them are not outlaws who have been adrift at sea for a long time, but family generals who have returned to the deep sea with me."
A wave suddenly appeared in the group of pirates gathered in front of him, as if one of the pirates in it had finally decided the victory and defeat in the battle with the rising sun, and Tie Lin, who frowned, then also looked at the back of the player who raised his arms and shouted, and waved his finger at the other pirate who was eager to end: "Whether it is strength or trust, we are much stronger than those rogue bandits at sea." β
"Your Excellency and your Steel Ship are no longer pirate ships in the simple sense of the word." Nodding in agreement, Duan Qing's face on the other party's side showed a look of confusion: "But even such a steel horn is still scarred when it appears here." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Is it the danger of the Endless Sea, and if it really lives up to its name? Or is there some other reason? β
Sensing the reaction of the other party's sudden silence, Duan Qing, who was also looking at the new round of competition in front of him and started again, pretended to raise his chin: "Judging from the competition between Asahi Dongsheng and these people under your hands, the captain's generals all have the strength of no less than every member of our adventure group, but with so many masters, there are still so many wounded in the endββ"
ββ¦β¦β
"And I don't think the injuries on their bodies are like those of a shipwrecked man, but more like a sword woundβ"
"Don't guess."
A heavy cold snort appeared in Duan Qing's ears along with the appearance of this indifferent voice, interrupting each of his deliberately elongated tail notes in mid-air: "I know what you want to ask, we did experience several naval battles before we came here. β
"But that's not something you should inquire." Slowly putting the raised wine jug into his pocket, Tie Lin's eyes were also full of unkindness when he looked at Duan Qing: "How do I know that you are not their accomplices?" β
"It seems that there is still a need for more understanding and trust between us." Helplessly, Duan Qing's voice also showed a bit of a wry smile: "But this time we are not right, before inquiring about your past, we have not fully explained our past." β
ββ¦β¦ Please say, I'm listening. β
"Well, we have to start when we first arrived in Liberty Cityβ"
"Ahh
The scream that pierced the sky suddenly appeared above this broken bridge, and the pirate group that was fighting in front of him and Duan Qing's continuous temptation in front of him all pressed back, and the piercing sound of spatial tearing and the howl of beasts then appeared on the other side of the bridge where this scream was located, and at the same time, there were also spatial black holes that were darker than the stormy sky outside. In the scene of the nearby pirates retreating and pulling away, the black liquid that seemed to drip from the black hole of space gradually gathered and condensed on the snorting bridge deck, and they gradually formed a strange appearance in the air made of the heads and limbs of various beasts, and at the same time let out a palpitating ghost crying wolf howl: "This, this is ......"
"Voidmon!"
Instead of shouting the name, the loud warning belonging to Duan Qing then echoed above the space of the entire broken bridge; "The Void has invaded! Get ready for battle! β
"What a memorable name." The surrounding pirates were still stunned, and the figure belonging to the rising sun and picking up the giant axe had already taken the lead in rushing out of the crowd: "I couldn't compare with you last time, and this time I just made up for it!" Eat me with an axe! β
"Don't be stupid! They don't hesitate as much as you do! β
The raised cheer then appeared at the other end of the broken bridge, and it was the voice of the Snow Spirit Ice that had just rushed out of the tower and slashed a white spear in front of another pirate: "These monsters are not creatures of this world!" They will attack all the living! β
"Stay away from those places! They're still popping up! Her voice then lingered around the black space rift near the tower: "Duan Qing! Do you have a way to plug those gaps? β
"The void is usually caused by the disorder and collapse of the magical structure, a feature that should not be present in this haven's space."
The light of magic began to condense around Duan Qing, and the roar unfolded by the energy of the elements began to become more and more obvious in the continuous piercing roars between those void beasts: "It's not difficult to fill the collapse of these spaces, as long as you keep stuffing all kinds of elemental attacks into it, but-"
"But their presence may mean much more." A faint sound of explanation then appeared in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by the warning issued by Ning Lan, who appeared beside him at some point, when he raised his weapon: "If it is the same as the last time, it means-"
"They've found it." Frowning deeply, Duan Qing, who had sharpened his teeth, then squeezed the magical energy in his hand: "It's really ghostly, it's not been long since we found Violet, and they have already discovered our whereabouts?" β
"Although crossing such a distance means nothing in front of the Void, our whereabouts are not necessarily revealed because of her." The man who said this was Gedman, who was waiting at the entrance of the tower with his shield raised: "Don't forget that we have two other large targets on our side, if these are also their tracking anchor points - Giant Strike!" β
"Drink!"
The cracking sound of sharp teeth and the screeching of metal then sounded behind the words, and the huge shield raised in the hands of the shield warrior flapped the shadow of a black beast out of front of him, and the ground around the tower seemed to tremble with the appearance of this slap, and then it was covered by a brilliant magic that crossed the sky. It seemed to be mixed with a variety of magical energy, and this magic beam that crossed the sky then exploded into fragments at the same time as it hit a void hole, and the scorching air was then reflected in the eyes of Duan Qing, who threw out this chaotic magic energy, and the originally panting voice was inserted into the deep groan from Tie Lin: "...... I understand. β
"Say, just kill them all, right?"
Pointing to the black holes hanging in the air that were still dripping with unknown substances, Tie Lin slowly pulled out a cruel smile between his beards that stepped forward: "I really can't help it, who made these things look so disgusting." β
"Little ones!"
In the midst of the assuring sights all around, the Captain of the Iron Hook then raised his arm with a metal iron hook in the air: "Stand out for our weak magician, and by the way, let these guests from another world have some colors." β
"Let them know that we're pirates in the East China Sea, too!"
The iron hook fell with the last shout, smashing the black shadow of a void beast that rushed in front of him straight into the ground, and the pirates who were shouting and screaming then rushed out of Duan Qing's sight with the black blood splashed by the black beast, holding their respective swords and colliding head-on with the endless black wave in front of them. The situation on the battlefield, which originally seemed to be crumbling, gradually stabilized a lot with the addition of the pirates, and for a while, only the shouts of the pirates wielding their swords and the strange howls of the void beasts were left in the dark sky, and the patchwork limbs and teeth all over the body seemed to have lost their initial frightening and deterrent effect at this time, and the eyes of these sea maniacs became less terrifying: "Hahahaha! It doesn't look like anything spectacular! It's far worse than those sea monsters! β
"East! Send two more to the east! An Jie's XX can't stand it! Hahahaha! I'm going to ask him to treat me to two large glasses of rum! β
"Watch out for poisons! Some of these dogs actually have two snake heads! Who brought the torches? I'm going to burn them! β
"He's a disgusting man, I knew we should have brought down all those guns on our ship...... Be careful! β
"Hey, that magician over there, aren't you ready?"
A question suddenly appeared in the greetings that kept echoing in his ears, and the eyes of several fighting pirates close to the side of the battlefield were condensed on Duan Qing's body, and he was trying his best to recover his strength, and then he also put on the posture of casting the next spell, and the solemn expression that originally wanted to concentrate turned to his side: "How long has it been since the war?" β
"It's been more than a minute, sir." The sound of the dagger slashing limbs came from the side, accompanied by the precise report of the code Ning Lan: "Please rest assured, Mr., Ning Lan is fine." β
"That's not what I meant." The frowning brows never let go, and the deep groan that belonged to Duan Qing then echoed between the battle roars in the sky: "The situation is still a little wrong, it's been so long, but that person hasn't shown up......"
"Because he's not here at all."
On the other side of the dark sky, a purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the mid-air connecting the tower and the bridge deck, and Rona who was at one end of it then quietly watched the scene of a void that was destroyed by the connection of this lightning bolt slowly dissipating, and raised her voice in the ears of Duan Qing and the others: "You mean the owner of this magic tower, right?" β
"Unfortunately, I don't perceive any other magical fluctuations here."
