Chapter 67: Accidents
"Said... Yes, too. Hearing Finn's half-comforting answer, Arya was still anxious, but her reason told her that Finn was right.
After all, she knew that being in a hurry here wouldn't solve the problem. Rather than worrying about Lilith's condition in this cabin, the group should evacuate from this not very safe place first.
Soon, Arroyo and Raymond had packed many of the alchemical materials that Kiel Rivers had used for his alchemical experiments into their empty pockets, and for a brief moment, the young paladin glanced sideways at a small wooden table next to a chair and spotted a book with a slightly yellowed cover.
He walked over and picked up the book, and found that it was the logbook of Jackson the Bearded during his lifetime, which contained some of the pirate captain's experiences at sea, and brought Finn an unexpected bonus.
The takeaway isβ
[New Skill ...... Detectable
[Note: You can pay 80 XP to learn a skill, do you pay XP to learn this skill?] γ
The game system is such a magical thing. At the extreme, if Finn has enough experience and meets all the prerequisites for learning that skill, he only needs to pay that experience point to learn that skill through an opportunity to learn it.
In the battle he had just killed Redbeard Jackson, Finn was rewarded with 140 XP for just killing the pirate captain, so he now has enough XP to learn the skill he named.
"Anyway, let's put the book away." Finn thought about it for a moment and decided not to rush to learn the skills in the book first, but after taking his empty pocket from Arroyo and Raymond, he put the logbook in his hand together.
After that, Fein turned his head to look at Lilith.
The black-haired warlock girl was now carried behind by Arya, her cheeks returning to the serenity of a lake, but she was unconscious, and her dark pupils hadn't been reopened since she had struck KilRivers in a strange way.
Finn understood that it would be useless for him to worry about Lilith in his heart now, so he sighed softly, then briefly checked the clothing disguise on him, Arroyo and Raymond with his eyes, and lifted the captain saber of Redbeard Jackson in his right hand and turned back to the four people beside him and said, "Let's go." β
As the words fell, everyone was led by the young paladin to quickly leave the alchemy laboratory where a corpse had been placed through the door frame that had been removed by Kilrivers.
The smell of blood emanating from Jackson's corpse slowly drifted out along the corridor that turned a corner, and the movement caused by the battle in the assassination operation just now was more or less noticed by some pirates who stayed in the cabin, so the pace of everyone running outside the cabin was not slow at all, during which they encountered a few pirates who poked their heads out of other cabins to inquire about the situation, but they were all deceived by Finn with Jackson's saber before his death, saying that Jackson had given them an urgent task to perform, And fooled the pirates who sensed that something was wrong, saying, "The captain and Mr. Kilrivers are conducting an important alchemical experiment, don't be surprised if you smell blood and corpses, and don't disturb the captain in the alchemy laboratory." β
Finn had the pirate captain's knife in his hand, and the pirates in the cabin did not dare to question the captain's saber that symbolized Jackson's authority, so although he was still a little confused, he insisted on believing Finn's words and did not go to the cabin where Jackson's body was.
Fain led the group past all the pirates he met in the cabin, and he wanted to cheer at the stiff logic of the pirates along the way, and it didn't take long for him to run out of the cabin with Arroyo, Raymond, and Arya with Lilith on her back to the outside deck.
Compared to the previous battle in the cabin, the world outside the cabin was not very tense except for the somewhat noisy rain, and the pirates in the port area of Emerald Harbor were patrolling, standing guard, and shifting in an orderly manner under the command of several pirate captains, and the heavy rain in the night seemed to be very successful in helping Finn and his party to cover up the noise they were making in the cabin.
The young paladin led his companions to the staircase at the edge of the deck, and a pirate captain who passed by with a small group of pirate minions turned his head to look at everyone and immediately shouted, "Stop! β
The pirate captain saw Finn stop standing in front of him, then raised his hand and pointed at the witcher elf girl who was carrying Lilith behind him and asked him, "What's the matter with these two women?" Why did you bring them out? β
"That's what the captain meant." Finn mentally typed out the draft, and told him the reason he had thought of without panic, "This is the captain's saber, and the lord has ordered us to take these two women who have been controlled by magic to the town for an experiment. β
"Experiments?" The pirate captain blinked.
"Yes." Finn looked him straight in the eye, "This is the captain's order, and this knife proves that I'm not lying to you." β
With that, Fein once again showed the scimitar in his hand to the pirate captain, for fear that the other party would have indirect amnesia for a while and would not recognize the object that symbolized the majesty of Redbeard Jackson.
The pirate captain with a pirate patrol team opened his eyes wide to recognize the scimitar in Finn's hand, and playfully made way of the way.
Finn breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his scimitar, and prepared to lead his companions up the ladder from the pirate ship's class A back to the harbor below.
However, at this moment, a voice came down from the sky to the ground, and shouted, "No! Don't listen to his nonsense, all of you have been deceived! β
Everyone present was attracted by the sound of the falling from the sky, and Finn and the pirate captain looked up at the same time, and then saw a black bat with blood on its body hovering low above the ground, and then flapped its wings, turning into a black mist on the harbor ground on the side of the pirate ship's hull, and turning back into the vampire Sir who had impressed everyone.
"Kiel Rivers?!" The elven girl carrying Lilith on her back saw the future Red Lord reappear in her sight, and she was so shocked that she subconsciously screamed.
