A moment of sluggishness gradually appeared in the air between Duan Qing and Tie Lin, in stark contrast to the pirates who were hustle and bustle in front of him, Duan Qing, whose eyes widened for a long time, digested the misunderstanding in the mouth of the iron hook captain in front of him, and at the same time gently wiped his forehead: "Your Excellency's eyes are like torches, you can see the relationship between us and Violet so quickly." ”

"Don't compliment me in such a superficial way, I'm not that stupid." The voice of disdain that belonged to Tie Lin then sounded in front of Duan Qing again: "When you saw the excited look you had when you found that woman, and helped carry her away, the relationship between you was already revealed. ”

"After all, we've been looking for her for a long time." Duan Qing scratched his nose helplessly: "Although we didn't expect to find her in this way in the end, we haven't seen her until we came to the end of this bridge." ”

“…… What do you mean? In the stagnation of another voice, Tie Lin's eyes gradually widened: "You mean to say that the woman you know named Violet fell from the sky out of thin air?" ”

"That's what we want to figure out."

The feeling of a bitter smile slowly disappeared on Duan Qing's face, and was replaced by the same serious and solemn expression on the gray-robed magician: "What happened to Violet's body—this is the most important question before us, how did she appear in such a remote deep sea, and why was she so seriously injured......"

"Hmph, it's hard for you to ask me so roundabout." As if he understood why the other party had been entangled around him, the glint in Tie Lin's eyes was hidden between his messy hair: "If you dare to have the slightest suspicion of us, I will drive you and your companions back from here now." ”

"We adventurers would never do such a morally unethical thing." Taking a slight step back, Duan Qing then bowed forward and saluted, "We just want to get the information we want, for example, what kind of scene did you look like when you met Violet?" ”

"Well."

A strange look flashed in his eyes, Tie Lin's gaze suddenly turned to the side, and the eyes that were originally full of energy also appeared hesitant because of the appearance of this topic, and even the answer became low: "It's not an important matter, so it's okay to tell you, but-"

"But what?"

“…… That's fine. ”

Closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Tie Lin's voice returned to Duan Qing's ears after a period of silence: "It happened about a day ago, when we were on our way to the haven, the storm had been blowing around us for nearly a few hours, and a new round of confrontation between us and the heavens had just begun. ”

"Tris Hope, the observer in charge of watching around, was the first to spot the anomaly." He pointed behind him, across the wind and rain behind the broken bridge where the tower was, "Hope claims he's found a ...... The Dark Zone, like something surrounded by darkness, is very visible even in a deep storm. ”

"Is that what Violet was like?"

"To be honest, we didn't even dare go near that area."

In the face of Duan Qing's follow-up question, Tie Lin's answer became even lower: "We only got a little closer, and the storm became more intense, and there was nothing to be seen in that area wrapped in darkness, and even the compass that could avoid the ravages of the elemental storm and help us find our way began to fail. ”

"But we're pirates."

As if mentioning something to be proud of, Tie Lin suddenly gave Duan Qing a thumbs up: "How could a pirate who gallops all over the world regress because of this kind of thing?" If I am deterred from here, won't my iron forest face be thrown into the endless abyss of the sea? ”

"I admire the courage shown by Your Excellency." Duan Qing bowed his head again and saluted respectfully: "But according to what we know about Violet, she shouldn't use this way of surviving." ”

"That's something that you people like to play with magic think about, and I don't think about it." Glancing at Duan Qing with contempt, Tie Lin retracted the arm that showed his courage: "We only thought that there was a treasure inside that our pirates had never seen before, so we rushed in, but after fighting the storm and darkness for a long time, the only result was this woman floating in the air. ”

"That's right, she was already like this when we found her." The scene that was still fresh in his memory suddenly reappeared, and his gaze fell in the direction of the tower: "An Jie also proposed that we use the stolen magic cannon to give the creature that doesn't look like a human color, but in the end I stopped it, we tentatively approached the ship to the center of the dark energy, and then gradually saw the figure of the woman wrapped in the dark aura." ”

"Those dark energies...... Won't they hurt people? Furrowed his brows, and the voice belonging to Duan Qing then sounded, and after a period of thought: "Are they protecting Violet from falling into the water?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, Anjie sent someone to drag her back to the boat."

Comparing his neck, Tie Lin then made a pulling motion: "It's not a good experience to drag a black sun-like energy body back to the ship, I'm even ready to start slashing people, but fortunately, those weird black magic energy has some spirituality of its own, and it retracts like a leaky ball before it is about to touch us." But—"

"Ever since the energy disappeared and she appeared to us, her condition has been very dangerous." The pirate captain's gaze at the black tower deepened: "If she hadn't met us and let her continue to float in the sea, she wouldn't have survived even today." ”

"Whether she can survive now is not certain."

Clenching his fists, Duan Qing's voice seemed to be drowned in the deep ocean: "But thank you for your rescue of Violet, presumably Your Excellency has also exhausted the methods and attempts to extend her life." ”

"It's all useless effort, nothing worth mentioning." Tie Lin waved his hand meaninglessly: "It is the creed of us seafarers to try our best to help everyone who falls into the water, but we have never encountered such a strange thing in this sea for so long, and it just so happens that the owner of the haven is also a person who has studied the mystery quite thoroughly, so we happened to be sent here together." ”

"Then let me confirm again: Your Excellency and the Steel were in the empty sea, and they salvaged her from the black energy body, right?" Sighing slightly, Duan Qing then also showed a relieved smile: "Your Excellency has not encountered any other dangers, nor has she encountered an enemy who has injured her to such an extent?" ”

“…… No. After staring at Duan Qing for a while, Tie Lin finally shook his head and said his answer: "We haven't found any other threats. ”

"I'm glad you were able to provide us with this information."

Nodding his head again, Duan Qing buried the difficult smile on his face between the movements of his bowed head: "The Qingling Adventure Group has no intention of making enemies against the pirates, and it will not take the initiative to be enemies of you in the future, I can assure you of this." ”

"Who wouldn't say big words or anything like that?" A look of disdain flashed across his face, and Tie Lin turned his chin to the direction of the broken carriage in front of him: "If you really want to show kindness to us, then come up with something real." ”

"Ning Lan."

Knowing what the other party was referring to at this time, Duan Qing beckoned to Ning Lan, who was still alone in front of all the pirates: "Get out of the way." ”

"Without a magic drive, it's hard to get the train off the ground." The scene of the wind breaking through the sky and the secret words Ning Lan floating behind Duan Qing then appeared in front of the pirates, accompanied by his indifferent voice as he turned away: "I hope that this iron shell, which is almost useless, can bring some help to you now." ”

With the smiling figure of Ning Lan, the gray-robed magician then walked back in the direction where the tower was located, and the back of gray and blue intertwined seemed to be extremely coordinated in the eyes of Tie Lin and the others, looking like an impeccable whole: "...... Hum. ”

"Boss...... No, captain. One of the pirates who approached then put away the look he had been shouting at the front of him: "What are we going to do?" Do you just let them provoke - ouch. ”

"You know what, those guys aren't easy to mess with." Reaching out and knocking on his family's head, Tie Lin turned his eyebrows and twisted iron hook back to Duan Qing's departing back: "And judging from their communication with Mr. Molnar, their relationship with the Lord of Haven is also better than we imagined. ”

"Let's not act rashly until we understand the situation." He turned to the others and warned, his eyes falling on the carriage in front of him, "Besides, we still have a lot of brothers to resettle. ”

"Let them all come over, I've found them a temporary place to rest."

The Hook Captain sighed softly, then spoke in a low voice.

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

In the following period, life in this haven returned to the normal daily state that players have been accustomed to for a long time, as the stormy weather that surrounds this deep sea area seems to show no signs of stopping. The communication with the pirates also continued with the continuation of this period of life in this small area of the broken bridge, accompanied by the scene of Duan Qing and the others constantly busy inside and out, and they who were responsible for helping Molna were also under the instructions of the shelter manager, and kept preparing the necessary supplies for the treatment and survival of these refugees temporarily placed in this place.

Potions of life, medical paraphernalia, and, most importantly, water and food—the magician who had lived in seclusion for thousands of years seemed to be able to pull them all in his hands.

"Anyway, we don't have much else to think of until the storm has completely subsided."

Gradually walking down from the attic where Violet was placed, the voice belonging to Duan Qing then appeared in the ears of Xue Linghuanbing, who had put down the last box of drinking water: "Let's stay in this place for a while." ”

"I'm not opposed to staying here to spy and investigate." Hearing this, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who stood up, frowned slightly: "But the problem is that we still haven't made the slightest progress now, no matter what aspect it is. ”

"As long as Violet doesn't die in the true sense of the word, we still have hope." Looking around at the wounded pirates who were still suffering from their illness, Duan Qing lowered his voice: "Continue to brush Molnar's favorability, with the ability he has shown so far, he is the only one here who can save Violet." ”

"We've helped everything we can, and even the pirates' impression of us is improving." Xue Lingphantasm sighed slightly: "Now that the sea and land routes are blocked, everyone can be called companions in the same trouble, even if nothing happens, the relationship will gradually get better and better." ”

"Just look at that guy in the rising sun." Speaking of this, she pointed to the door of the tower, and at this time she was constantly gesturing with a large number of pirates: "Today's pirates have grass growing on their heads, and they have to touch their fists on the bridge, and they are seen by that guy-"

"Presumably, our comrades are already uncomfortable." Looking at the laughing figure who was standing in the middle of the onlookers and fighting with one of the pirates, Duan Qing pressed his eyebrows helplessly: "Fortunately, he is still a man who was recognized by the pirates in the previous battle, otherwise it is estimated that there will be some unnecessary conflict at this time." ”

"If it's really fighting, it's nothing, just pass the time." Xue Lingphantom Ice tapped the white spear behind his back: "I've been in this isolated place for a long time, and even the passage of time seems to have no idea." ”

"I am most afraid that the passage of time will lose its original meaning." The brows that had just been stretched out gradually tightened again, and Duan Qing refocused his gaze on the pirates who were laughing and scolding: "I always feel that something is wrong, and I always feel that there is still some gap between them and us. ”

"The problem should be with them." Nodding in agreement, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was closer, quietly lowered his gaze to the location of Tie Lin, who was not far from those crowds: "I think they should be hiding something." ”

"What do you think, janitor?"

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then she pointed her finger on Duan Qing's chest, who was smiling bitterly.
