Chapter 69: Escape and Pursuit II

The wrist-thick rope was severed by the side blade of the greatsword, and the anchor, which sank deep below sea level, officially split into two with the hull of the Black Sail Pirate Ship, sinking into the dark world wrapped in the sea like a child with an umbilical cord cut.

With the help of his superhuman strength, Finn held the sword in one hand and opened the logbook written by Jackson the Red Beard in the palm of his other hand, and without thinking about it, he decisively paid 80 experience points to learn the skill named.

The scene shifts to the side of the cabin door, Raymond holds his beloved curved sword and kills the three pirates who ran out of the cabin, and the three pirates are tossed to the ground by Finn with the wind blade of the Whistling Blade, they don't have time to respond forcefully to Raymond's attack, and in a short time they are killed by Raymond alone.

After killing the three pirates, the future Juggernaut no longer paid attention to the rain-soaked corpses lying at his feet, but instead stood at the entrance door of the cabin as Finn had instructed, blocking the few pirates behind them who were still walking on the stairs with knives on their way to the deck.

The pirates in the cabin had already found the body of Redbeard Jackson lying in the alchemy laboratory, and their hearts were burning with rage, but Raymond was standing in a condescending position, and just stuck in the door of the cabin, which could only accommodate one and a half people.

Raymond's swordsmanship was too young compared to Finn's, but it was an exceptionally powerful and gorgeous fighting skill for these pirates.

The pirates tried to attack Raymond several times, but due to the narrow terrain and the difference in strength between the two sides in one-on-one combat, the pirates were unable to break through Raymond's blockade, and one of the reckless fellows was even cut by the swordsman with a curved sword on the spot, and then kicked back into the pile by a kick down the slope of the sloping staircase.

While Raymond suppressed the pirates in the cabin, Finn, Arroyo, and Arya were not idle.

Arya followed Finn's instructions, and after a moment of confusion, she gently placed the warlock girl on her back on the ground on the deck, and then ran to the nearest mast with the young thief on the side.

The Witcher Elf Maiden and the Young Thief pulled a loop of rope tied to the mast, and quickly lowered the black sail that had been retracted from the mast. The night breeze brought the slanting rain that filled the black sails, and the captain's seat of Captain Redbeard was slightly shaken by the night breeze, showing signs of setting sail in this ghost weather that was by no means suitable for sailing.

The pirates in the harbor stood on the dock looking at the black-sailed ship with its sails raised, and some of them with shortbows tried to throw arrows on the deck of the big ship with their bowstrings, but the pirates saw that the pirate ship that was "hijacked" by Finn was so large that it looked like a giant beast floating on the sea, and the range of their shortbows was not enough for the arrows they shot to fly to the deck of the black-sailed ships.

More than a dozen arrows with feathers attached to their tails smashed into the thick planks on the side of the black sailing ship's hull with a volley of rain smashed into the thick planks of the black sailing ship's hull, and then fell into the water one after another, like a large pile of cotton balls that had no deterrent effect on a solid stone barrier.

The staircase leading from the dock to the deck had been destroyed by Finn, and the pirates could not immediately ascend the deck from the dock, and Finn was naturally not stupid enough to leave them the opportunity and time to set up a wooden ladder from the deck of several smaller pirate ships next to them to force their way onto the ship.

The young paladin stood at the bow of the ship, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Whirling Blade, and his left hand reaching forward to grasp a rudder-like circular steering wheel.

Captain Redbeard's seat ship is a little different from the traditional large sailing ship.

Since the rudder of a sailboat is connected to a transmission device that controls the rudder blades, the rudder is usually located at the stern of a ship to facilitate the helmsman to turn the steering wheel even if the rudder blades are adjusted to orient the ship in the right direction - especially on large sail ships.

The Redbeard Jackson's Captain's Seat had a feature that no other sailing ship had, that is, it looked not much different from a normal three-masted sailing ship, but it was actually equipped with a rudder blade built into elemental magic material. The rudder blade can change the formation of the water elemental through magical energy, so that the water at the bottom of the ship flows in the direction that the helmsman wants and drives the hull to sail.

The rudder of the blacksail ship was set in the bow position on the deck.

During his lifetime, Captain Redbeard liked to grab the handle of the steering wheel with his own hands and stand on the bow of the ship to admire the sight of merchant ships in the Sea of St. Fern being hijacked or sunk by him. At this point, Finn wasn't much interested in being at the front of a big ship, but he was glad that Jackson's ship was so special.

The young paladin had mastered the basic sailing skills through skill, and when he looked back and saw that the elven girl and the young thief had lowered the sails on the first mast and were running towards the second mast, he gritted his teeth and smiled, and turned the rudder in front of him with his left hand in the direction of the sea.

The rotating rudder is linked to the gearing connected to the rudder blades at the bottom of the boat, and the rudder blades with built-in magic guides quickly arrange and adjust the water elements at the bottom of the boat, quickly adjusting the current to the way Finn wanted it to flow.

The sea breeze blew the black sails on the mast, and the large pirate ship with black sails turned its massive body in the direction of the sea, and then slowly advanced on the surface of the sea, as if it was about to leave the harbor for the depths of the sea.

"They ran away!" The pirates roared unwillingly.

However, someone immediately reminded: "Don't worry, we still have three ships!" ”

Eventually, most of them came to a tacit consensus: "Catch up!" ”

As a result, Finn's Blacksail turned to the harbor dock that had left Turquoise Harbor, and the pirates of the Harbor District boarded the other three pirate ships that had carried them from Misty Island, following the stern of the Blacksail Ship. The anger over Jackson's murder had taken over every corner of their minds, so much so that they had selectively ignored even some of their pirate brothers who were still in town.

"My lord, they're catching up!"

After some time, Arroyo and Arya lowered the sail on the last mast, and then took a breath and looked in the direction of the stern, where they saw the group of pirates from the Misty Isles biting the tails of the other three pirate ships and quickly catching up with them.

Arroyo could see the scimitars in the hands of several pirates standing on the bow of the ship shining brightly from the moonlight as the moonlight fell from above to the mortal land and sea.

The thief youth turned his head in a panic and shouted at the young paladin at the bow of the ship, while at the same time, Raymond, who was blocking the door of the cabin, frowned and took a few steps backwards, and also shouted at Finn, shouting: "Finn, these despicable and shameless bastards have taken out light crossbows from the cabin, I can't stop them!" ”
