Chapter Seventy-Seven: Pirates
In the afternoon, the cloak forest was shrouded in a thin curtain of rain, and the forest was filled with mist, adding a sense of mystery and life.
Axter they are not without rain gear, but none of them took out the poncho, they enjoy the taste of drizzle very much, although it is close to winter, the rain drops on people's bodies is a bit cold and biting, but it is impossible to let them catch a cold with a little rain, they all have a professional body far beyond ordinary people, even in the ordinary human race, after entering the level of intermediate professionals, their bodies will undergo more or less abnormal changes, and the muscle layer of the warrior and barbarian profession will involve elements free in the air, As a result, it can fight spells and swords, and the visual response nerves of wanderers and rangers will be broken through, and it is completely easy to walk on the wall or something. Spellcasters have been greatly developed in the brain, they are like a humanoid portable computer, which can store all kinds of spell models that are a hundred times more complex than circuit diagrams, spellcasting syllable gestures, knowledge of astronomy and geography, as well as alchemy, enchantment, and the creation of identification magic items, Axter has always wanted to know what the brain structure of those archmages is, how can ordinary people remember so many things!
There are many dangerous creatures in the Cloak Forest, such as pterosaurs [bipedal wyverns are a subspecies of pterosaurs], mutant spiders, forest trolls or something, but maybe God also thinks that Axter has had enough of the trials and tribulations, and along the way, Axter and several people did not encounter any aggressive animals, and they walked out of the Cloak Forest safely and smoothly, and came to the Dragon Bridge, a gathering place for humans outside the forest.
This is a small fishing village built by fishermen, many of whom are sunrise and sunset fishermen, who exchange their daily hard catch for some necessities and gold coins to traders, and then go to the only mermaid tavern in the fishing village at night to chat, and live a peaceful life day after day.
Of course. Although the geographical location here is not very advantageous, the periphery is not the endless plains of ordinary large ports, but the cliffs like ordinary knives and axes, a narrow U-shaped sea mouth makes it impossible to dock those large-tonnage ships at the mouth of the Dragon Bridge, but the Dragon Bridge near the Coast of Swords inevitably becomes a gathering place for small smuggling and human trafficking businesses, and you can always meet some fierce outsiders walking on the street, they may be bandits, pirates or evil wizards, They would always do some grey area deals here, and then transport them by small boats to the big ships moored outside the estuary.
Axter and they encountered this dilemma, maybe it was their immature appearance, or their dejected appearance, there were already three waves of pirates who came forward to hit their attention, although the dragon bridge was also within the jurisdiction of Baldur's Gate, but the guards in the fishing village were all locals, and they generally turned a blind eye when they saw those pirate guards, which also led to the pirates becoming more and more rampant.
"Hey, you half-elf stinky boy is very good at fighting, aren't you?" A one-eyed man stared at Axter with a hideous face, and from the fishy smell emanating from his body, he knew that he was an old sea wolf who had been through the storm for a long time, "I know you are a group of adventurers, but this is the mouth of the Dragon Bridge, I am the boss here, even the hypocritical nobles of the Baldur's Gate must listen to me when they come here." ”
"We just asked you for the money at first, but now we have changed our minds, I heard that the half-elves are very popular in the slave market, you stinky boy is not bad-looking, maybe you can sell it for a big price, plus a few beautiful girls in your team, we will definitely help them find a good place to go after enjoying themselves." The one-eyed dragon's eyes glowed green, and when Axter and the others just entered the dragon bridge, a few of their younger brothers asked them to ask for money, but they were beaten back by the other party, and now they personally brought dozens of people to surround them, and they were not afraid of what the other party was doing.
"The last words are finished?" Axter coldly raised the corners of his mouth, he hadn't seen them like them when he first encountered these ruffians, but he endured it again and again, but the other party took his actions as weakness and fear, and wanted to ride on his head.
"Hahahaha." Hearing Axter's words, the one-eyed dragon and the group of pirates behind him couldn't help but laugh, "Look at what I heard, a half-elf boy who is not yet an adult with a group of girls and a bald head is actually going to say to give us a little color, look at their slender calves, they are not as thick as our arms, do you think they are scared silly..." Yes!! ”
The one-eyed dragon was still laughing wantonly, but the tone turned into a high-pitched scream, and a dagger was inserted between his crotch, blood and a foul smell emanated from the crotch of the one-eyed dragon, and Ling on the other side retracted the posture of throwing the dagger, and glanced at the pirate with contempt.
"Kill them!" "Kill that!"
It wasn't until Rei turned her head that the pirates reacted, screaming and picking up the weapons at their waists and charging at Axter, completely unaware of the difference in strength between friend and foe.
"Kill them all." Axter said coldly, they were not in a good mood when they had just escaped from danger, and in the face of a group of bad guys, even the chaotic and kind Doris did not have the slightest mercy in her heart.
The chanting of the spell spit out from the cherry mouths of the two mages in the team, and when the two spell lights flickered in the water vapor of the drizzling rain, the group of pirates began to panic, and they began to scatter and flee to the side as soon as they charged, the spellcasters were invincible in their eyes, they had not encountered mages before, but the results of the battle were all wiped out by the other party without exception, but the timing of their escape was obviously too late.
In the crowd of people, all the pirates were tripped and fell to the ground by their companions one after another, and an orange-red spell aura fell in the center of the chaotic crowd, and with a loud bang, a pillar of fire rose from the ground to wrap the pirates inside, and the world was a lot quieter.
Lavis's magic followed, and many miniature golden holy swords condensed out of thin air above the pirates' heads, falling on the pirates' bodies like a rain of swords, and the pirates who were stabbed by the golden holy sword did not even leave their corpses, they were assimilated by the golden holy sword into golden points of light, and dissipated in mid-air.
After the two range spells, the pirates who were originally crowded on the street were gone, leaving only the one-eyed dragon lying on the ground behind him because of his injury, at this moment he couldn't care about crying out in pain, he could see clearly the scene of his own being tortured and killed, and the two sides were not opponents at all on the same level.
"Don't kill me, I'm the Pirate King Creek. Deroan's men, if you want to kill me, the Pirate King will not let you go. Seeing Axter walking towards him step by step, the one-eyed dragon panicked and directly sold the boss behind him.
"The Pirate King? Is there still a Pirate King in Sword Bay? Axter couldn't help laughing, he knew in his previous life that the famous pirate king was De Charlik on the island of Brienro, Karaner in the Racing Channel, and Kabolian in the Nlanthel Islands, and now this one-eyed dragon actually said that he also worked for a pirate king, self-proclaimed, right?
"Your Excellency, I was wrong, I offended you with my eyes, please let me go." Seeing that the backstage he moved out didn't work, the one-eyed dragon began to kowtow to Axter incessantly, hoping to plead in exchange for his life.
A large skull flew out, blood spurting from the headless corpse, staining the entire street ................
