CH.12 Magic
The shout was so loud that all the pirates on the Scarlet Shark heard it, and they were all stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.
The power of wizards, and the horror of magic, have all reached the point where they are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if ordinary people have not seen magic with their own eyes, they have heard all kinds of rumors about magic and know the power of magic.
It only takes two or three spells to blast the scarlet-looking Scarlet Shark to pieces. And all the people on the boat will become water dogs, and if they fall into this sea, most of them will die, and the rest of them will not end well.
Invisible fear spreads in the hearts of the pirates, like a wild weed.
"Oh my God! It's terrible, what do we do? ”
"Surrender quickly! We can't be a match for wizards! ”
"Hang the white flag, the flag bearer go and hang the white flag!"
After a short period of calm, the pirates were in a state of confusion, making one-sided noises, and almost all of them advocated surrender, even the bravest people could not muster courage at this moment, because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Only Sha Feishang remained calm, not in a big mess, but her face became a little pale. She gritted her white teeth and shouted at the chaotic subordinates below, "Stop yelling, everyone stick to their posts, don't move, and I'll negotiate with this group of wizards." ”
The other party knows magic and can use the "Wind Listening Technique" to eavesdrop on the Scarlet Shark's voice, so Sha Fei naturally has to be more careful when speaking, and deliberately added the word adult after the title of wizard to show respect.
Shafi's usual prestige worked at this moment, and the pirates shut their mouths and stood still, which was exactly what Shafi wanted to see.
"Dear Wizard, it is true that we are a bunch of pirates, as you said. But as you can see, we didn't mean to offend you, and when we saw your flag, we chose to leave. Also, we're not repeat pirates, and this is our first time at sea. I hope you look at these two points, there are a lot of adults, let us go. If you are willing to raise your hand, I am willing to offer all the riches of the ship in both hands, at least three hundred gold coins. As far as I know, the materials needed to unleash magic are very expensive, and a noble wizard like you must need this money. Shafi lowered her posture and shouted at the aggressive magic ship.
Four hundred yards was not too far away, and if ordinary people shouted at the top of their voices, the boat on the opposite side could still hear it. What's more, Sha Fei is not an ordinary person, but a real warrior, and her voice is always louder than that of ordinary people.
"Sorry, ma'am, your words are a little less credible, and you don't look like pirates who are going out to sea for the first time, but like veterans of all kinds of evil. Sorcerers who have comprehended the mysteries of magic must take responsibility for punishing the evil and not sit idly by and ignore you pirates. As for the gold coins you are talking about, it is even more nonsense, wizards will not be bribed by money. This war is inevitable, and you should repent before you die. The person who had spoken before responded, his voice still cold and hostile.
It seems that this group of wizards from the Academy of Tears of the Stars is determined to eradicate the pirates of the Scarlet Shark.
In the cabin, Anrui was moving forward as fast as he could, his breathing was disordered and short. He had heard the conversation that was spreading on the surface of the sea, and he recognized the situation in front of him.
A war is inevitable, and the Scarlet Shark is bound to be the losing side.
All he had to do now was to take what he needed, leave the ship as soon as possible, and rely on swimming to go to Jingtie Island. There are many dangers on the sea, there are all kinds of tests, if it is not for the last resort, he really does not want to take this risk, but at the moment there is no choice but this way to live.
Crossing the passage and gangway, he reached the kitchen, looked around, and his eyes were locked on some food. He took off his clothes, wrapped them as a package, spread them on the table, and laid several items of food on top of his clothes, including a few pieces of black bread, a few pieces of hard bacon, and a few salted fish. In addition to food, he also took two full bottles of rum.
If he was frugal, the food and wine would be enough for him to eat and drink for three days, enough to last him to Jingtie Island. In fact, this place is very close to Jingtie Island, if you take a boat, it will take less than two hours to arrive, and even if you swim there, it won't take too long.
Anrui packed the food and wine, put it on his back, turned and left the kitchen, and hurried to the utility room, where he planned to pick up two things.
His physical strength is limited, and it is impossible to swim all the way to Jingtie Island, and he must rest halfway, and it is best to have a plank to serve as driftwood, and rest with the plank when he is tired. In addition to the planks, he needed a compass to orient himself and point out the location of the island.
Food, water, a wooden plank, and a compass were the four things he needed to get to the island.
The utility room is also located in the bilge and is easy to find, but the door is locked and cannot be opened without a key.
In desperation, An Rui drew his sword and slashed down at the lock, slashing it off. The door opened, revealing the cluttered room within. This is specially used to store miscellaneous items, and the compass and planks can be found in it.
Anrui rummaged for a while, found a spare compass from a drawer, and found a wooden board of just the right size from the wall, and clamped it under his armpit. Carrying a package containing food on his back, a plank in one hand and a sword in the other, he left the utility room and headed for a gangway that led to the open deck.
"Anrui, what are you trying to do?" A loud voice sounded behind An Rui like a thunderbolt.
An Rui stopped his hurried steps, frowned and turned his head, looked at the person behind him, and found that the other party was a man with a sturdy body and an iron helmet, who turned out to be one of the pirates who had been defeated to him in the first place. At that time, the pirate took his pants, which he later defeated in a duel with a rope.
"It's nothing, I just want to get back on the open deck." An Rui replied blandly.
"You're carrying a package and a plank in your hand, are you trying to escape?" The sturdy pirate asked.
"You don't seem to be as stupid as you seem. Since you guessed it, stay away and don't get in my way. An Rui shook the long sword in his hand, and the threat was clear.
"No, I won't let you go like this, if you join us, you have to live and die with us." The sturdy pirate took the axe hanging from his waist and was about to attack.
An Rui's eyes lit up, he was ready to fight, and he was secretly ruthless. He doesn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, but he doesn't have to be polite in the face of pirates, and even if he does, there is no need to blame himself.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Before the two of them could make a move, the plank of the ship where the sturdy pirate was suddenly bursting open, and a fireball blasted into the area, hitting him right on top of him, blowing him apart and killing him instantly!
It all came so suddenly! There was no warning before!
Anrui was also hit by the explosion, and was swept out of the coffin and slammed to the ground, but it was fine, much better than the hapless sturdy pirate.
The fireball exploded, and tongues of fire scurried around, instantly igniting the planks of the cabin. What's even more terrifying is that a large amount of seawater poured in through the hole blasted by the fireball, and spread wildly with the momentum of bursting the embankment, causing the water level of the bilge to continue to rise.
The flames that ignited the ceiling emitted a scorching glow that shone on Anrui's face, the cold water seeping into his trouser legs and irritating his skin. One hot and one cold, bringing him a strange feeling of ice and fire.
You don't have to guess to know that this sudden fireball must have been the work of a wizard, and it hit really well, killing the sturdy pirate in one fell swoop. If this fireball falls on An Rui's body, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Damn, the wizard is already doing it, I'm going to have to run for my life." Ignoring the pain caused by the impact, An Rui struggled to his feet from the ground, picked up the sword and plank that had just fallen, and walked step by step to the large hole that was pouring into the sea.
The open deck is still some distance from here, and there is a possibility that others will obstruct it along the way, so it is better to swim out of the cave than to take that risk.
The sea water is like a roaring sea dragon, which is continuously poured into the bilge through the large hole, causing the water level here to continue to rise. The momentum of the water flow is extremely fast, the force is like a thousand beasts running wildly, and it is impossible to rush away at all, only when the water level rises to a certain extent and slows down the speed of the water flow, it is possible to swim into the sea through the big hole.
The spreading water slammed into Anrui's legs, causing him to shake several times. He had to put his sword back into its scabbard, and with his free hand he grabbed the wall at his side, steady.
The water level is still rising, and there can't be only one magic attack, it may come again at any time, or even directly on An Rui!
An Rui is in danger of hanging by a thread at this time, and it is difficult to predict whether he will live or die.
In the face of this danger, he became surprisingly calm, silently waiting for the moment when the water line did not pass the big hole.
On the sea, the war had already begun the moment that fireball flew out, and as the man on the magic ship said, it would be a magical feast.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Three sharp sounds rang out, and three strange glowing shields shone out, each ten yards wide and quite large. Three magic shields are suspended in the air, two of which protect the port side of the magic ship, and the rearmost side of the magic ship protects the canvas, forming a relatively perfect defense.
The magic ship adopted an offensive and defensive combat strategy from the beginning, and it seems that it did not underestimate the pirates of the Scarlet Shark, and it may be that they are deliberately showing off the power of magic.
After the shield was formed, the magic ship flashed with fire, and it seemed that a new fireball was brewing, and the second round of attacks was about to begin.
On the other hand, the Scarlet Shark was much more miserable, and under the bombardment of the fireball just now, the ship tilted badly and sank a lot. Several pirates fell into the sea because they were unsteady on their feet, and they were struggling in the water, splashing in waves.
Due to the fear of wizards and the lack of artillery range, the Scarlet Shark fell into a passive situation from the beginning, unable to form an effective counterattack. After receiving a fireball, the Scarlet Shark's situation became even more unfavorable.
The fireball not only damaged the Scarlet Shark, but also ignited Shafi's anger.
"Damn wizard, I'm fighting with you!" Sophie's eyes widened as she shouted downward, "Change the direction of the sails and rush at them, I'm going to engage them in a broadside battle and cut off the heads of those wizards!" ”
The pirates looked at each other, but no one did what they said.
A broadside battle with a wizard? It's crazy.
