Chapter 1 Saving Lives
When the sea breeze of the New World blows to the coast of Asia and Europe, the endless sea immediately sets off a carnival, which is a carnival of full loads, but also a carnival of killing and plundering.
Cannons rang out and fell, and the steel warships from the Holy Empire won the naval battle. The orc captain riding a blood-colored parrot, landed on the lookout of the defeated ship, raised a hooked spear, and sang the pirateβ
We are pirates, ferocious pirates!
In his left hand he holds a wine bottle, and in his right hand he holds a treasure.
We are pirates, pirates with skills!
Beautiful girls, please come to my arms.
β¦β¦
The captain's voice did not dare to compliment, but the victorious crew danced, and for a while, cheerful ballads fluttered on the sea, dispelling the smoke of the post-war war and sending condolences to their fallen comrades.
At this time, the human boatswain rushed out of the cabin, holding a mana crystal in his hand, and laughed: "Captain! We're going to get rich! This ship is all living crystals of the New World! β
"What?"
The sailors were collectively stunned, and then cheered even more enthusiastically. Mana crystals are already expensive, and living crystals from the New World are even more valuable. They saw the gold coins beckoning, and they saw the wine and the revelry.
The orc captain was pleasantly surprised, jumped directly from the lookout to the deck, and in the violent tremors, only the boatswain could still stand, he was busy sending blue crystals, rubbing his numb legs and feet, and said in surprise: "Captain, no wonder there are not many people on this ship who still refuse to surrender, it turned out to rob our Holy Empire's resource ship, and there are still some Holy Empire prisoners in it, what do you think about it?" β
Before the orc captain could answer, a heart-rending cry sounded in his ears: "Captain, it's not good, the first mate is dying!" β
Smack!
The mana crystal fell to the ground, and the orc captain jumped back to his ship with a single leap, causing the crew members who had just risen to fall again, but this time, they lost their smiling faces and looked at the first mate who had been shot in the heart, and their hearts were worried.
The first mate is a small dwarf, but in the eyes of all, he is an absolute spiritual giant, and this invincible steel warship was designed by his own hands. On weekdays, he always carried a wrench to knock left and right, and patrolled the deck with his head held high, but now, this giant fell to the ground, even if the ship's doctor rescued him, the gushing blood could not be stopped.
Feeling that the life force of the first mate was fading rapidly, the orc captain was at a loss and roared: "Stop the bleeding, hurry up and stop the bleeding for me!" β
The Minotaur Ship Doctor's face was full of bitterness: "Captain, unless you take out the bullets, ...... But the life potion was exhausted, and the first mate couldn't hold on that long. β
"No! You must save Taray! β
The orc captain sprayed his face and raised his hand to wipe it off, but it was covered with blood, and he shook his head weakly: "Captain, you must find someone to maintain the life of the first mate......"
This request made the orc captain look bitter, there were many races and professions on his ship, but there was no priest, knight or shaman, he could only hate and stomp his feet, and a sense of powerlessness surged into everyone's hearts, and without the first mate, the wealth they got would be meaningless.
In his sorrow, the boatswain suddenly remembered something, stumbled back to the cabin, came to the dark and damp prison cell, and opened his mouth to shout: "Who among you is a priest?" β
"Me."
In the darkness, there was a calm answer, and the sailor was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door, only to find that the speaker was a dirty young man, and that he was a trainee priest at the highest rank of the profession, and only his eyes were still bright.
The stakes were so high that the boatswain could only reconfirm: "Do you know how to heal?" As long as you can save our first mate, I guarantee your safety! β
The other prisoners, huddled on the hay, immediately looked at each other, and the young man slowly got up: "I need to get my scepter and Bible back, I know where." β
Seeing that he was sincere, the boatswain opened the storeroom under the guidance of the sailor, and indeed found these two items in a certain baggage, as well as a broken hearthstone, as a citizen of the Holy Empire, he felt very affectionate about it, because every wanderer would bring the Hearthstone at home, and he could not help but have a good impression of the young humans, and it must be said that it was a kind of fate to meet his compatriots on this endless sea.
However, he didn't care about talking now, and rushed out of the hatch with the other party, but fortunately there was still time, and the dwarf first mate was not dead.
"Captain, I found a priest!"
The boatswain sent the young priest to the orc captain, who was overjoyed as if he had seen a savior: "Save me quickly!" β
The young man's face was calm, and he did not have stage fright when he looked at the Tao, holding the staff in one hand and the book in the other, and his mind moved slightly, and a gentle holy light fell on the dying first mate along with the scepter gem. Although the light was faint, it also made the first mate's face improve, and some people couldn't help crying with joy, and the orc captain shouted excitedly: "Torrey, you hold on to Lao Tzu!" β
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the holy light disappeared, and the young human was crumbling, and was directly picked up by the orc captain: "What about the holy light, where is the holy light?" β
The priest narrowed his eyes and said in a weak tone: "I have been hungry for several days and have no strength. β
The orc captain immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to fetch food, but the priest suddenly said, "That's too slow, I want mana crystals, lots and lots of mana crystals." β
"Okay, I'll go get it!"
Ignoring the second mate's dissuasion, the orc captain jumped back directly to the captive warship and brought back a box of loot, and the elf second mate with long ears had the time to speak: "I still have some mana crystals here, so I don't have to waste living crystals!" β
The orc captain ignored him, and looked at the young man with pleading eyes, without the courage of a battlefield fight.
The young man took a living crystal, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he saw a system prompt appear out of thin air, indicating that the crystals could be absorbed. At the same moment when the mind was confirmed, a piece of living crystal disappeared, which made the second mate who wanted to stop talking immediately glare, as a mage with the ship, he had never heard of who could absorb crystal energy in an instant, and this young man couldn't absorb a piece, and then destroyed another piece.
The second mate looked at him as usual, and was surprised in his heart, ordinary probationary pastors would have blown themselves up a long time ago if they did this, what is the origin of this kid, and he didn't react at all?
He didn't know that the crystal energy only passed through the young man's palm and entered the broken hearth stone placed in his arms, and at the same time, with a wave of the young man's scepter, a strong holy light was stimulated, although there was no priest on the ship, but everyone had seen the appearance of the healing technique, and they all noticed that the power of this holy light had reached the limit of the secondary healing technique, and it was only a little close to getting out of the "secondary" category.
The boatswain was relieved, thinking that the young man had reached the level of being promoted to full priesthood, which meant that the life of the first mate could be saved.
Seeing that the dwarf first mate's face improved, the orc captain was surprised, but he didn't dare to disturb the bull-headed ship doctor, he covered his mouth and stood aside, seeing that the young human was absorbing the living crystal while performing secondary healing techniques, until the bullet was taken out and the god of death retreated, then he grinned, hugged him and laughed: "Little priest, you are our parrot pirate group from today onwards, the most revered guest." β
All the crew laughed and looked at the young man's eyes, extremely friendly, just because he saved the life of the first mate.
The ravaged young humans were equally happy, not only because he saved a human life, but also because he had finally completed his initial mission to officially activate the Hearthstone system in this unknown world.
