CH.08 New World
The deal was completed, and Berego, the evil spirit archer, became an agent of the light elves. Darkness and light come together.
"Congratulations, Beregot, I think that's a good thing for you." An Rui gradually relaxed and said with relief.
"Of course it's a good thing." The light fairy shook his long fluffy tail and said as a matter of course, "Count him lucky, just in time for me to need such a 'chess piece' to break into the enemy army, if it were in normal times, I wouldn't have given him this chance." ”
"Thank you, Light Elf." Ann Rui said.
"Needless to say, thank you, I also have my purpose, not exactly to help you, and...... This doppelganger of mine has drained all the power of this holy sword, turning this sword into scrap metal, you will not use the holy sword in the future, and then go find other holy swords to use. The light fairy shook the holy sword in his mouth, and the light on the sword was slowly fading.
"It's a trifle." An Rui didn't care very much, he wouldn't attack dark creatures or undead forces in the near future, he shouldn't need the Holy Sword, and he had spare Holy Sword in his fleet, but the power was slightly insufficient, "Light Fairy, what are you going to do next, do you want to take Beregor away directly?" That's what he cares about.
"Well, the dark shadows are quietly spreading, and the situation is already very serious, and it can be said that there is no time to delay. I'm going to take him away now, and I'll head to the Overworld's 'Dead City' and see if I can find any useful clues there. "Light Fairy Road.
"Dead City...... An Rui's mind conjured up a gloomy city, which was not in the Sea of Blades. It's far away in the Roaring Sea, a very dangerous place. There are many dark creatures and necromancers gathered there, and there is a unique social system. It's a great place to find out.
However, there is nothing to do with the real mastermind there, and the light elf and Berego will run for nothing on this trip.
An Rui wanted to confide in the light goblins about the mastermind behind the scenes, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, and now it was too abrupt to say it. Moreover, if you help the light goblins directly achieve their goals. So what else does Berego need to do?
If this mission can save Berego, it would be better to drag it out a little longer.
Thinking of this, An Rui closed his mouth. Didn't say much.
"An Rui, my former president, I was confused just now and did something to you. I hope you can forgive me. In the future, if you need me anywhere. Tell me that I will do my best to help you, even if I try my best to give my last bit of soul. Berego floated in front of Anrui, bowed and apologized, and then swore an oath.
"You don't have to worry about that kind of thing just now." An Rui shook his head, then took out a sound transmission stone from the spatial package and handed it to the front, "You take this sound transmission stone." We can continue to contact each other in the future, and maybe I will need your help. Maybe you'll need my help. ”
Beregor nodded, took the Transmission Stone, took it in his arms, and then turned around and followed the light elf.
The two flew farther and farther away, disappearing at the end of An Rui's sight.
……
Blade Sea, a small island near the Lion Continent, is lush with vegetation and rolling hills.
In a hidden pile of rubble on the hill, a one-eyed man lurks here, holding a telescope and looking out into the distance. He had been here for many days, spending most of his day looking out, and he didn't even dare to sleep too long at night. His eyes were already bloodshot.
It was his duty to stay here and look out, and he was not to leave his post until he had been instructed to do so.
These days, he drank a small sip of water when he was thirsty, ate some dry food when he was hungry, and lost a whole weight. The blindfold on the left eye was loosened and always drooped down, revealing the stab wound on the eye.
"Well, I really want to find a big bed in those houses below and sleep comfortably. This job is really not done by people, I didn't take it if I knew it, and I blamed me for being a money obsesser at the time and collecting those silver coins. The one-eyed man grumbled, put down his binoculars for the time being, and turned his gaze away from the sea to a complex of buildings down the hill.
The complex is a messy complex, smaller than the average small port, and it's a pirate habitat that naturally doesn't look much better. Those filthy pirates didn't expect to live in paradise, only in barrels or heaps of powder.
The habitat that used to be lively and lively is now empty and lifeless. The reason why this is happening is all because of the news that came not long ago, there was news that the navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire would pass through here, and it was even possible to start a war to take the island!
The pirates who inhabit here are all some pirates who are not very famous, they have no strength, and the hearts of the people are not aligned, and after hearing the news, they are almost scared to pee their pants. Everyone was clean in two or three days, and everything that could be removed was removed, leaving only an empty complex.
He was the only one who remained, responsible for observing the real situation, and reporting the news to the pirates on the island, regardless of whether the sun did not set or not. Those pirates are now staying at sea on pirate ships, and many people are attached to this island and do not want to give it up easily.
The time limit set by the pirates for him was half a month, and if the navy did not come after half a month, it proved that the news was misinformation, and everyone returned by boat and continued to live the previous leisurely life.
In total, there are only three days left until ten days.
"I hope that the Navy doesn't come so we can go back to live." The one-eyed man prayed, picked up the binoculars again, set them up in front of his eyes, and continued to observe the movement on the surface of the sea.
The sea surface that was empty just now has a few more small black spots!
The one-eyed man was startled, and quickly rubbed his only remaining eye, widening his eyes and continuing to observe.
He read it right, there were indeed a few more small black dots on the sea, and the black dots were getting bigger and clearer, showing the outline of a sailboat. What's worse is that there are more black dots emerging from the distant horizon, and there are dozens of them at a glance!
A few dozen ships are enough to call a large fleet. There are only a dozen pirate ships on this island combined.
There are not many forces that can come up with dozens of ships on the Blade Sea, and combined with the rumors a few days ago, the one-eyed man suddenly thought of the naval fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Probably due to the pirates' innate fear of the navy. His heart beat rapidly, and the muscles in his body twitched with it, as if he had seen an undead.
"It must be the people of the Empire, the sun never sets, I have to tell my brothers about this." The one-eyed man stretched out his trembling hand and took a soundstone from his body, put it to his mouth, and made contact with the pirates who were waiting for a reply.
The pirates were glad to hear the report. Because they left early and escaped the catastrophe. As for the life or death of the one-eyed man, no one cares.
The one-eyed man cursed to hell. I didn't dare to linger any longer, so I packed up my things and fled down the mountain in a hurry. There was a small boat left near the island that could only accommodate three people, and he could paddle away.
The god of luck favored the guy who had one less eye. He fled before the arrival of the naval fleet. I left in the boat.
Soon after, the flag of the Imperial Navy on which the sun never sets was planted on the island, and the flotilla stopped on the shore.
Hopper who is a general. Using spatial magic, Carlo teleported to the place where the pirates used to live, appeared in mid-air out of thin air, and then landed on the ground. He has a tall frame, and the tattoo on the door on his chest and the scorching sun tattoo on his back are particularly prominent, which is simply his trademark.
"Hmph. It seems that the pirates here have heard the news and fled ahead of time. It's boring. Carlo snorted, disdainful of these timid creatures.
In fact, since he came here with the fleet, he hasn't fought any decent hard battles at all. When those pirates saw the flag of the empire on which the sun never sets, they turned around and left, how dare they argue with him.
Carlo raised his hand and reached out to the messy complex opposite, and the streets could clearly see the traces left by the pirates when they fled, such as wheel prints, lost barrels, and so on.
"Our dignified Imperial Navy won't live in this kind of kennel, let me break it all!" Carlo's palm slammed into it, and his palm erupted with violent magic fluctuations, unleashing a powerful spatial magic.
The magic power fluctuated visibly towards the opposite building complex, forming a powerful shock wave, and the buildings in front of it were shattered into countless pieces. The shockwave was like a swarm of rampaging beasts, advancing rapidly, shattering a large number of buildings before the aftermath dissipated after a long time.
Looking at the complex again, a small half of the building has fallen and become a mess.
With just one blow, this complex was destroyed like this, and thanks to the fact that there was no one living here, and if there were, I don't know how many would have been killed by this blow.
Carlo withdrew his hand and shook it three times, but did not continue to wreak havoc. With this level of magic, even he couldn't have unleashed it at will.
"Hehe, this place looks much more pleasing to the eye now." Carlo grinned as he looked at the collapsed building in front of him.
After a while, one after another, officers stepped off the ship and came here, standing respectfully behind Carlo, waiting for the dispatch.
"Show me the simple map of the Sea of Blades." Carlo beckoned, and immediately someone placed a roll of maps in his hand.
The Admiral pulled open the map and his eyes fell on the place where the island was depicted. To the west of the island, a long series of small red dots are painted to mark the place where the Empire of the Sun Never Sets now occupies. These little red dots are like a rift that is imprinted on this knife-shaped sea, forming a supply line or battle line.
Carlo drew a line on the map from his men, drawing the island into a line of red dots.
The next place where the line points is the famous Pirate Bay on the Sea of Blades!
"It's unbelievable that this kind of ghost place where pirates gather has existed in the Blade Sea for so many years, and since the navy here is not capable of getting rid of them, I will take care of it. But this kind of substitution comes at a cost, and once I'm done cleaning up this gang of pirates, it's time to take action on the surrounding countries. ”
Carlo looked at the map under his nose, his eyes showed excitement, the dignified Imperial Navy of the Sun Never Sets came here, not to be a volunteer and fight pirates, but to conquer the countries on the coast of the Blade Sea and turn this place into a colony!
Soon after, the sun never sets on the banner of the Empire. It will be displayed in the wind all over the Sea of Blades, showing the true imperial majesty.
……
On the surface of the sea near the distribution of the World Business Alliance, a fleet of more than ten ships is breaking the waves. The ship bears a flag embroidered with a throne and a scepter. This is the banner of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce.
At the bow of the flagship Electric Eel, An Rui sat on the guardrail with a small figure, blowing the oncoming sea breeze. The little guy in his arms was none other than his adopted son, Bourlan, who had just been adopted.
After Bourlan became Anrui's adopted son, his treatment was drastically improved, and he was completely renewed, cleaned, and a new set of black clothes were put on board. It's like some aristocratic kid. The little boy was still very cute after cleaning up, with light brown hair. and a round face.
"Taste it." An Rui took out a bear-shaped biscuit from the paper bag and put it in the hand of Bourlan in his arms, "This biscuit is a new biscuit that I asked the chef to rely on, and the mold for making biscuits is still made by myself." ”
"It's funny how this cookie looks." Bourran took the biscuit. Tasted it. "It's so sweet."
"Do you know this animal?"
"I don't know."
"This is a bear, and no childhood is complete without eating bear cookies, so I specially asked the chef to make them for you."
"I've only heard of bears, but I've never seen them."
"I'll buy you some comic strips or bedtime stories or something like that, and there should be bears on them." Anrui took a new biscuit and stuffed it into Bourlan's hand.
"Dad, you're so nice to me." Bourran took the biscuit and whispered.
"Just for your father, I have to be nice to you." An Rui reached out and pressed it on the adopted son's head. Gently rubbing it twice, "The next place we are going to is a new continent. It is a large area, with beautiful scenery and abundant products. When the time comes, I may leave you on the island and let someone else take care of you. You'll be safer on that island than if you stayed with me. ”
"But I want to stay with you, I don't want to be separated from you."
"Stay with me...... It's not impossible, it's just that it's harder and more dangerous. ”
"I went with another dad to grab someone else's boat, and it was also very hard and dangerous."
"He's going to take you to grab the boat?" An Rui was taken aback.
"yes. My mother ran away, and he took me with him ever since, and I went wherever he went. Bourland replied.
"It's the first time I've heard of your own father as a pirate with my son, and your own father is really messy."
Speaking of his biological father, Bourlan sighed angrily and said, "Alas, I don't know when the angel will be able to connect his head." ”
This was actually a lie that everyone coaxed him, but he believed it and always believed that the pirate father would come back. Perhaps only when he grows up will he personally expose this beautiful lie.
The fleet once again came to the branch of the World Business Alliance, and if you want to reach the new world, you need to borrow the portal here to take a shortcut, otherwise it will be too far away, and you will not be able to reach it in the Year of the Monkey.
Once here, Anrui went on a shopping spree, buying a lot of necessities and some cheap knick-knacks such as binoculars, music boxes, flintstones, glass beads, etc., which could come in handy when he arrived in the New World. He also bought some children's things to give to Bourland.
In addition to procurement, he also took over two simple B-level tasks in the World Business Alliance, both of which were cargo transportation tasks, which happened to be on the way to where he went. In the future, he will also use the authority of the Chamber of Commerce to travel farther to the sea, so he will have to continue to take on tasks to increase the authority of the Chamber of Commerce until he is promoted to the S rank.
Before leaving, An Rui knocked on the door of a special crew member, whom he hadn't spoken to for a long time, and who he would need help on his way to the New World. If this person refuses to help, then he will have to ask for another master.
"Come in." A dark sound came from the door.
Anrui pushed the door open and looked in.
A young man sat in the shadows, unaware of what he was doing, just playing with some unknown magical material in his hand. The young man is handsome, but his temperament is extraordinarily gloomy, not inferior to the undead.
"Quasimodo, how are you doing?" An Rui greeted.
The young man in front of him was the young wizard Quasimodo who was framed and unknowingly absorbed the hearts of his biological parents. Ever since he joined the fleet with An Rui, he has been living in the crew's room, living in seclusion every day, even eating in the house, and hardly interacting with anyone.
Anrui knew that absorbing his parents' hearts was a big blow to Quasimodo, so he didn't bother Quasimodo during this time, wanting the young wizard to think about it.
Now that so much time has passed, presumably Quasimodo should have figured it out.
"Nothing." Quasimodo said lightly.
An Rui entered the house, leaned against the wall, and when he saw that the room was too dark, he took out a glowing stone from his pocket and threw it on the table, illuminating the room.
The light made Quasimodo's eyes narrow, as if he had transformed into a dark creature, very photophobic.
"My friend died the other day, and it made me sad for many days, which made me more or less understand your feelings. But life is like this, there will always be some setbacks, and it is impossible to have smooth sailing all the time. No matter how big a setback is, you have to find a way to get through it, right? An Rui turned his head sideways and looked at the young man who was still sitting in the shadows.
"I've heard a lot of this kind of enlightenment, so I don't need to say it to me anymore. And...... You're not here to say that, do you? Quasimodo said.
"That's right," Anrui nodded in acknowledgement, "I've come to you to ask for your help, and some things have to be done by a great wizard." Sam wasn't here, so I thought of you. (To be continued......)
