CH.175 The Strong Fight
The head of the sun peeked out at the level of the sea, and a beautiful ray of dawn crossed the sea and shone on a column of sailboats on the docks of the Little Pirate City.
The Lucky Star has set sail, a 25-year-old ship that has been at sea for 25 years and has experienced all kinds of ups and downs. Today, the Lucky Star once again challenges the rushing sea. The ship was originally called by a different name, as it had a record of three lucky escapes from storms, so it was renamed Star Lucky. Tang Ke also bought this ship for an auspicious reason, and he felt that if the motley pirates composed of more than 400 people wanted to survive in the sea, they could only rely on luck.
The cables on the stakes were untied one by one, and the Lucky raised its half-sails, and the breeze blew and the hull slid forward. Seagulls flew over the mast, as if they were also practicing for the ship.
Standing on the shore, Donk watched the Lucky Star go away, waved his hand and said, "I wish you all the best!" ”
The people on the Star Lucky also responded, taking off their hats and waving at the shore. Interestingly, the blind man, who shouted hoarsely at the mast: "Commander, I will definitely live up to my mission this time!" Spit Xingzi sprayed the mast in the face.
The Lucky Star faded away, plunged headlong into the sea oak forest in the distance, and disappeared without a trace. Organizing this voyage, Donk's initial idea was to break the jar, but now he has a little expectation.
"Ding! You created a fleet, but the number of ships is too low to reward them. ”
Tang Ke turned off the system prompt, although there was no point reward, but left a thought for the queen, it seems that as long as there are more ships, reward points will also be given. He feels that there are still many aspects of the system's rewards, and as long as they continue to grow, the reward points will also roll in.
These days, everything is going on steadily with the Pirate Corps. The Black Pearl has already started construction, using all kinds of fine wood, and several other ships have also been repaired to the ground and begun to work on the bottom of the ship, and it is estimated that it will be able to sail in half a month. One Ear has fulfilled his long-standing dream, learning new knowledge from Master Garvey every day, and living a fulfilling life. One-Eye continues to be in charge of recruiting people, because the standard has been raised, and now he recruits elite generals, most of whom are half-elf archers. Iona began to get to know each pirate and make personnel arrangements accordingly, and also changed the previous rules to come up with a set of things similar to the Pirate Code. As for the rabble that had just been sent away, Tang Ke didn't make much arrangements, but just installed more than thirty henchmen on the ship, and appointed the captain, first mate and other leaders.
All in all, the voyage is imminent.
Donk's next target is the twin ports of the Dragon's Tooth Country, and he wants to exchange Elisa and other captives for benefits, the most important of which is naturally the Mermaid Key. But in the past few days before setting sail, he was a little idle, because there was nothing to do, he decided to go to the Hao Slash Sword Dojo, which is open to the public, similar to the feeling of a gym, as long as a swordsman can go there to practice.
The building, still in the European spire style, has two rusty swords hanging above the door frame, and a skull at the intersection of the two swords. Anyone with a sword at his waist can come and go freely. The doorman recognized Donk's identity at a glance, but only asked a little and did not stop him. Out of curiosity, Tang Ke used the investigation technique and learned that the guards here were all at the level of first-order swordsmen.
Tang Ke stepped into the front hall and found that it was a stone building, with many sword scars on the floor and walls. The waiter, who was wounded on his face, took the initiative to come up, received Tang Ke without being salty, and led him into the open air. As Donk approached, the crisp clash of swords grew louder and louder, and he could smell the sweat of men in the air.
The sight suddenly cleared, and in the morning light, there were more than twenty swordsmen practicing catching the right ones, and they broke out from time to time with shouts, swinging the sharp swords in their hands with all their might, but they were all blunt swords, which would not be fatal. Because the group was all engrossed in practicing, no one noticed the arrival of Donk.
Tang Ke directly expressed his desire to meet Admiral Kilo, and the waiter weighed Tang Ke's identity and nodded in agreement.
Although pirates are a chaotic and disorderly group, they have developed to this day, and there are several hierarchical divisions. Roger, a generation of pirate kings, led the pirate industry to its most glorious period, built a pirate city, and selected the city lord. In addition, Roger made some treasures as "proof" of pirates, and anyone who could obtain them was honored as a pirate admiral, a governor, and the supreme pirate king.
The lowest Governor Treasure is called the "Evidence of Sin", the higher Governor's Treasure is called the "Evidence of the First Evil", and the most powerful Pirate King's treasure is called the "King's Proof".
There is a subtle relationship implied in this, even if you get the treasures, it will not have a resounding effect, but people who don't have the strength are destined to not be able to have these treasures. Therefore, these treasures are just a proof of strength. Only with the corresponding strength can you get "proof", but you can't expect these treasures to help you become a king.
These treasures used to prove their strength have various effects, and they often cause some contention, and in the accumulated bloodbath, these treasures are gradually infected with some evil spirits.
The Admiral of Little Pirate City, Kilo, has a proof of sin called the "Dementor Knife", which can absorb the souls of the dead after killing people, and use them to nourish the blade.
These are all well-known news, and Donk has heard others mention it a long time ago.
There were several wide and tall buildings in the backyard of the Hao Slash Kendo Hall, and the waiter went in to report it before leading Tang Ke in.
In the wide rectangular space, there was only one tall guy who was cultivating. He had knotted muscles, some scars like crooked centipedes, and he had a bright bare skull with tattoos of the Goldenbeard Pirates on the back of his head. He carried a weight in the shape of an iron rod in his hand, and the stone slab under his feet had an old cavity. There were two scimitars on the ground, one of which was emanating from its sheath with a restless blue ghostfire.
The big man was none other than Kilo, and he put down the long metal weight in his hand, which was obviously a very heavy thing, but in the action of putting it down, there was not even a sound.
Tang Ke used the investigation technique to learn the basic profile of Kilo, this person is a seventh-order swordsman, has the title of "Twin Knife Butcher", has a variety of abilities as much as double that of Tang Ke, is equipped with two legendary-level long knives, and has the special surname "Double Knife Flow". What makes Donk quite concerned is that Kilo is also a dual-sword swordsman, and the two of them should have a lot to communicate with in swordsmanship.
Out of respect for the strong, Tang Ke hammered his chest with one hand and said respectfully: "Tang Ke of the Evil Dragon Pirate Regiment, see Lord Admiral." ”
Kilo glared at the tiger, looked at Donk, and praised roughly, "Young man, you're quite energetic." I've heard about you and am a little interested in you. Since you're here, sit down and have a good chat with me. He waved his hand at the waiter, "Go and get some wine, without the company of good wine, is not the way of pirate hospitality." ”
The waiter turned to leave, leaving Donk alone with Kilo.
Donk stood up from the ground and said, "I've heard the name of the Double-Knife Butcher for a long time, and I saw it today when I saw ......."
"Is it an honor to see you today?" Kilo frowned in displeasure, he hated flattering guys.
"Nope." Tang Ke was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued, "When I see you today, I think I must have a few exchanges with you, because I am also a dual-sword swordsman, and this opportunity is really rare." ”
"Haha, you're kind of funny." Kilo's displeasure just now was swept away, and his joys, sorrows, and sorrows were written on his face, "As a swordsman, you need this heart to challenge. But let me warn you in advance, you can't even take a knife from me. If one slips up, it's going to be dead. ”
"I don't think so, a dignified seventh-order swordsman has already used his sword like fire and pure affection, and there is no so-called mistake at all." Tang Ke is not afraid of being injured in the battle, even he can control the battle, so the seventh-order powerhouse should be more free. He believed that as long as Kilo didn't kill him, he wouldn't die in the fight again.
"If I can't scare you, I can't help it." Kilo's momentum suddenly rose, he stepped aside, pulled out the two knives lying on the ground respectively, clenched them in his big hands like iron hoops, and shouted in a deep voice, "I will now satisfy the ** you want to defeat in the hands of the strong, pull out your double knives!" Little cub! ”
Kilo is a fierce person, because he has a good impression of Donkey, so he agreed to make a move, otherwise with Donkey's strength, he is not qualified to let Kilo draw a knife at all. His starting style is very peculiar, and he even raises two swords at the same time, so that he can hit the enemy with the most direct slash.
"Let me see the power of a seventh-order swordsman." Donk was very excited, he was a belligerent guy, and he wanted to know what kind of power he would have in the future. He held his breath and drew a sword, he made up his mind in his heart, he must try his best to attack, completely abandon the defense, only in this way can he fight with the other party in a move and a half.
The meeting of the eyes of the two heralded the beginning of the battle.
Donk slammed his feet hard, intending to rush straight up.
But Kiro didn't give Donk a chance to rush up at all, and he let out a thunderous roar: "Look at it, little cub, this is the strength you crave!" Immediately after, his sturdy body appeared abnormal, and a wave of energy that could be seen erupted out, taking on the shape of a round bowl, rapidly expanding, and devouring Tang Kesheng alive.
Donk's heart thumped, he felt an unprecedented pressure, and there was a momentum like Tarzan coming from Kilo on the opposite side, which made him difficult to breathe, and he didn't dare to look at Kilo's majestic posture. The internal qi that had just gathered around him was disrupted, and the internal qi turned into dozens of strands, scurrying uncontrollably in his body.
"What!?" Tang Ke's heart was filled with horror, and due to the internal qi disorder, his throat was salty, and a stream of blood gushed out.
Donk couldn't move, he was already defeated.
Kilo retracted the aura he had released, knowing that he could defeat Donk without having to use his hands, but out of respect for the swordsman, he drew his twin swords. He laughed a few times and put the knife back. Since the aura had been removed, the pressure Tang Ke felt suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was relieved.
"Thank you for the advice, what strength did you rely on to win me just now? Is it some kind of sword skill? Donk struggled to keep from falling, this injury was not serious for him, he knew the outcome of defeat at the beginning, but he didn't expect the other party to defeat him with just strange energy.
"Want to know? I'll tell you while I'm drinking later, haha. Kilo's big bald head laughed heartily.
