Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 23 Temptation

Carter's face sank, and with two daggers in his hand, he began to approach Liao Yu with flexible steps.

Just as he was about to approach the oriental man's five meters from side to side, he suddenly felt a softness under his feet.

"It's finally waiting for you."

Carter's body leaned to the side, but his left hand suddenly threw out a dagger and shot it straight into the opponent's face.

However, the other party's reaction was much more than Carter expected, the other party actually dodged his sneak attack, and not only did not distance himself from him, but instead buried his head and rushed hard, taking the initiative to melee with himself!

Carter was not overjoyed, but cautious. As a subordinate of the Pirate King, although his strength is mediocre, he is also well-informed, and he can't be too careful with this kind of guy who has mastered the mysterious power of magic.

He quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist, crossed the two daggers to block the opponent's slash, and then twisted the blade, hooked the opponent's long knife with the curved back of the knife, and brought the long knife to the side. Carter then crouched down on both legs, took a kick in his thigh, and grinned as he prepared to break his opponent's chest with his elbow.

However, something unexpected happened to him again, the power from the dagger was vaguely no less than him, the direction of the long knife was pulled back a little, and the opponent also raised his elbow to jam his elbow.

Carter never expected that he would be in a wrestling situation with a rare magician, and he snorted and pressed the long knife towards the magician little by little.

Within a few seconds, the long knife began to tremble a little, and Carter was overjoyed, and suddenly secretly took a deep breath, ready to completely crush this guy.

"Die!"

As the power on the long knife completely vanished, Carter felt as if he had seen the magician's chest being sliced open by himself.

However, old Nick suddenly opened his eyes and glanced this way, and then returned to his lazy appearance.

The moment Carter's dagger caught the long knife and threw it away, he was greeted by an expanding fireball!

"How can it be so fast!"

It's not that Carter didn't hear the other party's words, but with his rough understanding of magic, magicians need to ensure the stable output of magic power and a certain amount of time when chanting spells, who would have thought that this magician would refresh his cognition everywhere.

Rumble!

After a dull loud noise, Liao Yu looked at the seriously injured man in front of him, revealing a very regretful expression. This is the first time he has fought with a living person, and he has left the impression of a magician on the other party in advance, and then laid out step by step, completely not following the other party's ideas, and finally ended the other party by risking himself. According to expectations, after jumping backwards, at most some minor injuries can solve the opponent.

Unexpectedly, this Carter forcibly twisted his upper body at a critical moment, and the two daggers pierced into the fireball that had not yet been fully expanded at the same time, and he simply reduced the power of the fireball technique, and only then did he survive with serious injuries.

The two confronted each other again like this, and Carter, who was constantly bleeding from his upper body, naturally did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but Liao Yu also knew his situation. After testing it myself, I found that I could only throw three fireballs in a short period of time, and after the third time, I would have a headache, ghosting and other mental weakness, not to mention that the other party was still a subordinate of the Pirate King, and it was difficult to say if there were any hole cards.

While confronting each other, the eyes of the two men simultaneously glanced at the beach and the place where the explosion occurred. In the end, Carter couldn't hold it up first, and said in a hoarse voice: "If it goes on like this, we will all be in danger, you won't think you're safe, right?" ”

"I know you have companions, but do you think I'm not sure I'll kill you before they come?"

Liao Yu did not show the slightest panic in his voice, and after the two finished speaking, their eyes met in the air again, and they quickly reached a consensus. Carter pulled a small bag from his waist and threw it against the ground.

Liao Yu slowly bent down and picked up this thing with his hand.

"Item: Black poison from India. After taking it with any liquid, it can kill an ordinary person within three minutes, and the corpse will show a certain degree of living corpse. ”

After receiving the information from the Yan Yin, Liao Yu nodded silently, and Carter immediately covered the bleeding wound and retreated step by step into the shadow of the corner of the alley.

With the sound of footsteps moving away, Liao Yu could finally let down his guard and turn around to inquire.

"Thank you so much for your help, you are a true gentleman." The lady took her daughter's hand and took the initiative to step forward and said, Liao Yu noticed that the other party's body was still trembling slightly when he bent down to thank him, obviously not recovering from the shock.

"It is my honour that no man of integrity will allow pirates to run wild in the port of Royer." Liao Yu probably remembered Victorian etiquette and bent down slightly to return the salute, and he did not know whether the kiss ceremony was applicable to the occasion.

In order not to let the noble lady notice this, Liao Yu quickly asked, "May I ask Madam, who is your husband, and do you know how to meet him?" ”

The noblewoman showed a hint of frustration, she glanced at the little daughter beside her, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm Marina, the wife of Viscount Carry, and this is our daughter Emily. My husband was at a banquet at the castle and I really don't know where he is. ”

"Viscount Karry?"

Liao Yu secretly kept the other party's information in his heart, and maybe he would use it in the future, he originally wanted to save the mother and daughter and capture the pirate at the same time, as a stepping stone to join the navy. It's just that Liao Yu didn't expect that just an ordinary sailor under the Pirate King would already be so tricky.

That's right, Liao Yu had already made up his mind to join the side of the Navy from the beginning. He also remembered the choice in the quest description about guns or magic. Although he has now stepped into the door of magic, as a modern man in the twenty-second century, Liao Yu's final choice is already obvious.

He turned his head to look at the sleepy old Nick, and was about to ask about something, only to be interrupted by a noblewoman beside him.

"Don't expect him to help you any more, he's just a bad old man with no sense of compassion or justice, and for God's sake, it's good that he didn't greet you with those strange potions."

The cultivated Mrs. Marina also looked a little poisonous after suffering a life-and-death situation, but Liao Yu could not be swayed by a person he met for the first time, he walked quickly to the door, stood cautiously outside the door, leaned over and said to Old Nick lying in the chair:

"The first time we met, I am Su from the East, and I have followed the signboard, hoping to see the results of potions that belong to the West from you."

Old Nick opened his eyes slightly, and replied weakly: "Oh? It depends on whether you bring enough wealth to match them, silk? Or tea? ”

Liao Yu shook his head very dryly and said, "I can't cross the ocean with those burdens alone, those things are not important to me." ”

Old Nick's eyelids lifted slightly, as if he was surprised by Liao Yu's answer.

"I brought with me the most precious thing, knowledge."

"Hah, knowledge." Old Nick seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and he sat up and turned his head, reaching out to fiddle with the parts on the table and the round-bottomed flask, as if he didn't want to pay attention.

However, Liao Yu was sure that the other party was very interested in what he said, but at the moment he didn't have time to stay here anymore, the turmoil that had just entered the world must be very important for the next task, and he had to go and see it to rest assured.

He turned to Mrs. Marina and said, "Why don't you stay here with your daughter, I can just tell from that Carter's demeanor that this old Mr. Nick does have a certain deterrent effect on them." For the sake of the safety of Port Royer, I must visit the warehouse where the explosion took place at this moment. ”

"But ......" Mrs. Marina obviously had a grudge against the scene just now, looking at Liao Yu with a righteous face, she really didn't know how to keep this upright young man.

"Yellow-skinned boy, I'm not a charity here." Nick shouted with his back to the three men in the doorway, not even raising his head.

Before the Viscountess could lash out, Liao Yu preemptively said, "If you really don't plan to do this, then you should lie back in your chair now, instead of sitting there and fiddling with those flasks meaninglessly without mixing, heating or purifying them in any way." ”

"Why do you dare to speak to me like that?" The movement in Old Nick's hand suddenly froze, he put down the raw materials, and slowly turned around to stare at Liao Yu.

Liao Yu looked directly into Nick's eyes without showing weakness: "I said, I brought knowledge. ”

Old Nick and Liao Yu looked at each other for a moment, and finally gradually relaxed, he lay back in his chair again, waved his hand at the door, and then closed his eyes.

"You see, there will always be a way, Madame, trust me." Facing this noble lady, Liao Yu is completely an upright and noble knight.

Malina subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she felt the soft little hand of her little daughter in the palm of her right hand, and finally glanced sideways at her daughter with pity, and nodded without saying a word.

"Boy, then you'll have to take them away yourself." Old Nick's voice came from inside the room, as muffled as potion tumbling in an old iron pot.

"Of course, I would like to see the wider world from you, and the thirst for knowledge is the same in both the East and the West."

Liao Yu has maintained enough respect for this mysterious old man from beginning to end, and he firmly believes that only by always having a prepared mindset can he have more choices in the face of accidents.

Old Nick didn't respond, and walked slowly into the depths of the pharmacy alone.
