Chapter 36: Attack from Two Sides
By the time Connors followed Avrine to the Coral District, it had been five days later, and along the way he had heard about the situation from Jer, a mermaid squad of thirty people who looked like pirates, although they were holding pirate flags, but they didn't have any looting, they were extremely fast, and they acted together, often leaving when Mabel arrived, destroying everything he could see, or luring Mabel away and then weirdly going around the rear to wreak havoc.
In short, they can't catch up with them, and if someone is alone, it will hurt the mermaid.
"How many casualties are there?"
"They don't kill people, but there are more than a dozen wounded, and the buildings are much damaged and costly. β
Even if Jer's does not say Connors, he can already see that dozens of wooden houses have been dismantled, and there are two mainstream construction methods for wooden house buildings on the bottom of the sea, one is similar to the mosaic style in ancient China, but it is very troublesome to build, and the other is directly tied with rope, which is simple and fast but not strong.
The Seaweed Minor is now using the second method, so it's not too difficult to destroy.
Almost instantly, Connors guessed that this might be a ghost in the middle of the kelp.,Judging from the results, if it wasn't for the ghost in the middle of the kelp.,Connors will eat the exorcism powder.,An elite team of thirty people,Actions in unison.,Only destroy.,Don't kill.γDon't rob.,How can there be such a robber.γγ
Besides, the withdrawal of the seaweed from the middle of the kelp is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the middle of the kelp, the middle of the kelp has never been separated from any tribe since the establishment of its tribal group, whether it is in terms of face or interests, it is necessary to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and he is ready to meet the revenge of the middle kelp after announcing the withdrawal from the kelp tribe group.
......
"Uncle Maypott, did you see them?"
"I've seen it once, everyone is wrapped in the skin of a knifefish, although I can't tell what the face is, but there is no doubt that everyone is very strong, especially their speed is extremely fast, almost a slight wave of the tail fin will swim two or three times the distance of the others, every time you chase someone will be thrown off by them"
Mepott recalled with a frown.
At this moment, Weng Sen, who came with Connors, suddenly interjected:
"I heard before when I was buying in the middle of the kelp, there is a special magic fish suit in the fishing team in the middle of the kelp, and anyone who wears it will have much less resistance and faster speed in the seawater, could it be this magic fish suit?"
Sure enough, it's a person from the middle of the kelp!Magic fish suit, this kind of thing can't be obtained by ordinary small pirates, and big pirates won't stare at a poor country like the seaweed department, it's not worth it.
"What should the chief do? or call for help from most of the whales?"
"It's a little hard, I'm afraid. β
Connors shook his head, the other party had already set up a posture, so naturally there would be no such low-level mistakes, and unless it was a large-scale monster invasion or war, in addition, he had not heard that most of the sea whales would help the small tribe
Write to ask for help, but be prepared.
"Lord Aveline, can you spot them?"
Connors asked, trying.
Avriline closed her eyes and shook her head:
"No, if it's just a magic item, the magic fluctuations produced are minimal, unlike the magician's spell casting, which has violent magic fluctuations, even if it has been a long time, you can still see the magic in the sea water operating according to the rules of magic. β
She has thoroughly incorporated the rules of magic and matter into her beliefs.
Then she found that everything in this world was new, and she was full of curiosity about it, just like last night she also asked Connors why she would fall down after letting go of a piece of coral rock, when Connors secretly couldn't help it, it was also through a falling apple that Newton began to think about gravity, but in such a short period of time, Avriline progressed from 'everything is magic' to 'the birth of gravity'.
It's a great thing to notice the 'why', but Corneth doesn't want her to get too mixed with the rules of matter, the knowledge of a civilization is already there, let alone delved, and he doesn't want Aveline, a cute girl, to become the kind of serious old scholar with glasses.
In order to prevent Averine from becoming too a mystery "100,000 whys", he righteously proposed that there would be a math test and said it, of course the exam is not terrible, but the companion 'score' of the exam is the most terrible, so Connors added that the guy who did not reach eighty points could not learn the one-dimensional equation, so Avriline was like a chicken blood studying all night, and no longer mentioned why the coral stone fell.
To get back to the point, this team of thirty people must be solved, otherwise the coral area will not be able to be built at all, since Avrilin can't see it, Avriline's inability to see it doesn't mean that Connors can't see it
Entering the 'horizon', the magic is gorgeous and colorful, countless magic particles rise and fall in the sea, although he has seen it countless times, Connors is still fascinated by it, magic is truly a magical existence, it makes this world different from the earth.
Because of the magic seaweed, the purple particles here occupy the majority, but there are also many other colors of the magazine, swimming freely in a discrete shape, through the 'horizon', you can vaguely see a few intermittent lines of magical power, entangled in the seawater, and finally leaving the coral area from the south, these magic lines are probably the fluctuations that have not dispersed after the use of magic weapons.
But these traces are shallow, and they are still spreading, and it is difficult to search for them along these magical lines
"Uncle Mepott, was the last attack of that group here?"
"Yes, right here, six hours ago. β
Connors rubbed his eyebrows, which meant that in six hours, these traces of magic had almost dissipated, and if he wanted to reach the point where he could trace it, it would take at least two or three hours to fully track it, or even less, and that meant that he would at least stay here until the next attack came, or that Avrilin would be lurking here and shoot directly.
The magician may not be able to kill thirty well-trained Hatam, but it will be more than enough to repel them.
...... It seems that this thing is quite easy to solve? Could it be that the guy in the middle of the kelp is in arrears in IQ?
But it always felt like something was wrong.
It is very strange to know that there are magicians who are still attacking, unless there are also magicians among these thirty people, but this is impossible, a magician pretending to be a pirate and harassing the construction of a small tribe, if this is spread out, it is simply ridiculous and generous, no magician is willing to do it.
"Is it really a pirate?"
Thinking a little deeper, Connors was also a little skeptical of his own judgment, and now he had to wait for the other party to come again.
"Aveline, you just hide in the shadows, and when they come out again, do it, and it's best to leave one or two people to find out where they came from. β
"No problem!"
Avrilin clenched her small fist and said confidently, Connors nodded to suppress the doubts in his heart, and told the merfolk who knew about it to keep quiet, so no one in the Coral District knew that the chief and the magician had already arrived here, but due to the continuous sneak attacks, these people were terrified and did not dare to stay away from the camp.
However, there was no movement for two days, and on the third day Gyal rushed in from the seaweed area with bad news.
"Chief, the pirates have come to the Begonia Forest at some point and attacked our fishing team, and two of the few new fishermen were seriously injured. β
"Damn, turn the tiger away from the mountain. β
Connors realized he had missed something.
......
Somewhere in the Begonia Forest, an unknown place in the Begonia Forest gathered a group of guys in gray clothes, everyone was extremely strong, especially the tight-fitting swordfish skin jacket outlined the muscle lines, but it was very peculiar that this dress wrapped the whole body, except for the head and even the tail fin, you must know that the tail fin love is the main mode of movement of the Hatamu people, relying on the continuous wave of the end to push themselves forward, if you wear clothes, the tail fin will be contracted, and you can't swim at all.
At this time, they were holding a deck of Cuenca cards in their hands and playing cards with a comfortable face.
"Captain, the small part is the small part, thinking that if you get two small potions, you will go to the sky, and those guys are not vulnerable at all. β
A man with a beard said disdainfully, and at the same time took out a bottle of wine from the package next to him and drank it in a big gulp, and then filtered it out from the gills at the back, he couldn't help but sigh with relief:
"It's so comfortable~"
"Kerr, pay attention, now that we are on a mission, don't drink indiscriminately, in case you delay things, you are the only one to ask. β
Captain Loma said with a frown.
"It's okay, the only thing that is still in the past of the Seaweed Small Department is by that Mepot, the others are not enough to see at all, if it is not for luck, how can you kill a ten-meter-level monster, it is not a real Hatamu warrior at all, brothers, don't you say?"
Kerr spoke loudly to the people behind him, causing a burst of laughter, Loma wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and stopped, he was indeed not convinced, even if he was just a fisherman and not a Khatam warrior, how could a person from a small tribe afford the noble status of a Khatam warrior.
They're definitely opportunistic!
At this moment, a pitch-black figure swam over quickly, only to see that he was wrapped in the skin of the knife fish, his whole body was in the shape of a shuttle, and with a slight wave of the tail fin, the whole person rushed straight out, extremely fast, completely contrary to common sense.
The man stopped in front of the crowd and took off the fishhide cover from his head, revealing a face with a clear water chestnut.
"Captain, word has come from that man that the magician Avrine has returned to the Tribe. β
Hearing this, Loma said loudly:
"Brothers, let's go, let's go to the Coral Zone!"
A group of men put on their hoods and returned to the coral area at great speed, screaming and rushing at the inferior merfolk under construction, causing them to flee in all directions, and the freshly repaired house was destroyed.
