Chapter 109: The Coming Storm (Part 6)
"Curtis's ship is out of port?" The city supervisor asked in a low voice, his voice like that of an old man who was short of energy.
Looking at the more than 20 people standing in front of him with bated breath and trembling, who would treat him as an ordinary old man?
"Ten minutes ago, we sailed past the lighthouse, and the elves, the northerners, and our spies were all on board, and Curtis didn't even notice it. In addition, I heard that the pirates from Blackwater Reef are also eyeing this ship, and they have sent spies to merchant ships...... Do you think we're going to send a ship to protect it? ”
There are only about 20 sailors on a brig, and there are six waves of spies hidden among them......
In the past, Stormwind financed pirates to combat rivals' monopoly on shipping, and to hide its army among pirates to avoid being targeted by the three northern kingdoms. But now that Stormwind has taken the step of unifying the south, naturally there is no need to hide it anymore, the first step is to vigorously organize and exterminate the pirates! Those pirate forces who disobey and can't defeat Stormwind can only use the idea of "grab a handful and leave", and then turn to the north or the far sea islands to make plans.
"Incompetent!" The butler reprimanded.
Many people think that this undercurrent situation was planned by Curtis, but the old butler who met Curtis knew that it was just a man with great ambitions and talents, and the planner should have someone else. His words were addressed to this man, and he believed that the man would understand them, and that he would come before him with a perfect answer.
It's a deal between him and "that guy," and Curtis is just a messenger.
"Forget it, let him fend for himself. We only ask that the sword taken out of his hand not be given to anyone else, and we do not ask that we have to get the sword...... Will there be a shortage of good swords in our storerooms? ”
As the story becomes more and more widespread, fake "king's sword" will emerge in an endless stream in the future. If Stormwind can get the "real sword" from Curtis, the credibility will undoubtedly be higher; If you can't, it's fine......
It was steel and fleets that decided the war, not a sword that no one had ever seen.
*****
Far away in the mountains, Green Horn Bay did not know that the wind and rain were coming, and still walked slowly according to the rhythm of the past.
Another week had passed in the blink of an eye since he returned from the temple, and Shen Yan spent most of his time in his hut without going out.
And the homestead he chose for archery has already been built...... I heard that there were hundreds of people helping out at the construction site. Due to the abundance of manpower, it is expected to be completed in another week. Add drying and manufacturing furniture, and it won't take more than two weeks. The man in charge of the project even dug a deep ravine between the cliff and the forest, and built a drawbridge over it—making the wooden houses built on the small cliffs an independent kingdom—all as the castle was built to the defense standards.
As for the arrow he shot that day—according to those who rode out to search, when the arrow with the ring was found, it was firmly planted in a big tree on the top of the small cliff that Shen Yan said! That location is almost three or four thousand meters away from Green Horn Bay!
There was no hard bow in Green Horn Bay that could shoot arrows that far, but Shen Yan did it with a light and fluttering soft bow.
The sacred tree was cut down and processed into the main beams of the new house.
And Shen Yan's unfathomable arrow added a layer of mysterious aura to him......
In fact, Shen Yan is also blinded - he figured out a set of "keyword" systems by himself according to Yuegui's magic bow theory. That day, I had an idea, and I came up with this "Far Arrow" to try it. Anyway, he thought that the ring was worth a lot of money, and even if it didn't hit the spot, those people would find it even if they swept the floor inch by inch.
In that case, why not pretend?
In fact, however, it went a little too far – everyone thought it was the so-called "Promised Land" (you know, some kings just had a good time, lost their swords, and then drew the boundaries of their kingdoms there) – and many people preferred to volunteer to help.
The second thing is that the grandson of the old village chief was cut off by Shen Yan (rumor). The old village chief Vader ran to Shen Yan's door to scold the street, but was beaten into a pig's head by Shen Yan in cold blood! It is said that in the end, Elder Vader began to run away, and there was a stone fist chasing after him, so that the old man almost died there!
Since then, Shen Yan has completely broken with the old villagers.
Just when everyone thought that the village was going to be in turmoil next. Tiger and Catherine suddenly intervened and repaired all the old villagers who dared to speak ill of Shen Yan! Even Catherine let out the words, "If you want to live in Green Horn, just put up with me!" Otherwise get out! ”
Get lost? Looking at the tigers with fierce eyes, they felt that if they left, they might not survive the Crescent Lake......
Shen Yan stated that he did not instigate this - and sent Catherine and Tiger a copy of the secret barbecue he had made himself - and his statement was dismissed as a fart.
In fact, it was really not instructed by him, Shen Yan just snatched the black pot and carried it afterwards, and this kind of pot was in a good mood.
The third thing is that he keeps the cat in the room all the time - he's studying magic - and Penny also has a hand on how to transform the "Ignath's Flame Missile" into bloodline magic that can be cast by warlocks. She understands what angle is best for killing, and she basically doesn't understand magic or something.
Therefore, Shen Yan could only ask Milton to extort two bottles of bad wine first - when the leader said "no", it meant "I only left the last little bit of emergency". In that sense, Milton was already a qualified leader – and then carried the two bottles up the hill to find the former legendary magician and bar owner Augustine.
Augustine scolded that it was the worst wine he had ever drunk in his life, and he and the drunkards happily drank two bottles of bad wine to the point of dripping.
Then, as part of the "transaction", he taught Shen Yan a zero-ring magic - "interpretation magic". This Zero Ring Magic not only helped fill Shen Yan's Zero Ring Vacancy, but also helped Shen Yan truly open the door to the magic world! According to Augustine, "interpreting magic" is the most important magic in the Zero Ring, which can really last a lifetime, and it is the magician's crutch!
And the "adhesion technique" is the most smelly piece of Xiang Xiang!
"The smelliest lump!"
Shen Yan didn't think so, the "Adhesion Technique" did have less and less chance to play in battle, but as the world's best quality adhesive, it was indispensable in Shen Yan's transformation of the recurve bow. The importance is by no means under the magic of those first and second rings.
After returning from the snow-capped mountains, Shen Yan stayed in the house to interpret the "Ignas's Flame Missile", and it took five days to complete the work.
The "Flame Missile" was added to his magic list, and the scroll was reduced to ashes.
