Volume 1 The Beginning of Everything Chapter 22 A Coincidental Explosion

The rich smell of the sea mixed with the inferior rum impacted Liao Yu's sense of smell, the rough linen mixed with the dry weeds constantly stimulated Liao Yu's bare skin, and the sound of the waves crashing on the dock could be faintly heard in the noisy noise of the outside world.

Liao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a moldy and blackened wooden ceiling, covered with an inferior bed quilt made of canvas quilts, and the dirty and damp environment made Liao Yu, who was accustomed to modern life, a little unacceptable. He rolled over and got out of bed, and the inferior wooden bed suddenly made a loud creaking sound, making Liao Yu worry about whether the next time he touched it, it would be the day the bed was scrapped.

Feeling the unique humidity and warmth of the seaside, Liao Yu carefully read the information in the Yan Yin.

"Mission location: Port Royer."

"Mission: The Queen of England is trying to establish an official port to intimidate the worlds in order to provide a solid backing for a rapidly expanding navy, and Port Royal is the port she has just signed the decision on. On the other hand, pirates seem to have once again discovered some eye-catching riches beyond the Caribbean. Join either the Royal Navy and the pirates in five days, and the losers will be obliterated. ”

"Mission Tip: Explorer A12333 has been detected to be a first-time explorer in the world and is a beginner, so £20 will be given as initial funding."

"Bang bang."

Before Liao Yu could study the mission information, someone outside the door ran and knocked on the door one by one, shouting excitedly: "Hey, guys, do you know, just today, at 7 o'clock this morning, the Intrepid is also here!" Hurry up and get up, maybe a lucky guy will get on the ship. ”

Liao Yu was about to take a step when he heard this, but he heard the sound of the rooms on both sides walking quickly towards the door at the same time, and his heart moved, so he walked to the window of the room and secretly looked out.

Several doors on both sides were opened one after another, and a total of seventeen people came out of the room one after another. Their faces ranged from solemn to confident, but neither of them seemed surprised by each other's presence, and each looked at each other before leaving the inn in a hurry.

Liao Yu secretly deduced that these people should all be explorers like himself, and judging from their behavior, I am afraid that such a multi-person mixed mission will be the norm in the future.

Among so many people, Liao Yu could only barely remember a few people, a short and fat uncle with a beard who rushed out of the room on his left hand, with obvious Arab facial features, and a shotgun in his hand. On the right-hand side is a thin oriental man, about 1.7 meters tall, judging from the outfit, there is quite a taste of Chinese ancient costumes. At the end of the day, a little white girl who looked like a teenage high school student was carrying a half-human-tall long package behind her.

Judging from the costumes, several people don't quite look like people from this world. However, with the cover of the flame mark, the people of this world will not be surprised by this.

Liao Yu had already inquired about the Yan Seal in advance, unless it was a skill or some special equipment, the disguise given by Hantang was basically changed on the basis of the original image of the explorer, which means that even if the little girl was a little mature, she would not be more than 25 years old.

When Liao Yu pushed the door out, his heart passed the scene of two strong men walking out of a room side by side. Of course, he didn't think that the two of them happened to be playing in the room, but a question arose: It turns out that explorers can enter a world together?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly checked the medicine in his pocket, and then walked out of the hotel quickly.

The streets were full of pedestrians and carriages, sweaty and muddy coolies carrying goods with their heads bowed and hurried, noble ladies in tunic waists wearing ruffled hats with bows and bows looking curiously at the port, and noble ladies in muslin skirts holding their husbands' arms, talking and laughing while covering their mouths and noses with silk handkerchiefs in their hands.

Liao Yu vaguely recognized from the costumes of these people and the surrounding buildings that this was the once prosperous Victorian era, but in his world, the Victorian era should be after Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, which is obviously different from the history of this world.

"Who is the Nine Great Pirate King?"

Liao Yu stopped in the shadows on the side of the road, thinking carefully about the relevant clues in his mind. In the past few days since he returned to reality, he has been very busy, working, investigating, exercising, meditating, none of which is a low priority, he can only take time to read the information when he is resting late at night. But because of the lack of information, he read all kinds of comic book publications, but he vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the name of a series of movies in the last century.

Before Liao Yu could completely clear his thoughts, a sudden explosion immediately interrupted his train of thought.

"Help! Help! ”

"Catch those damn pirates."

Shouts rang out in an instant throughout the port of Royer, and the sound of screams and artillery fire became the main theme of the port in the blink of an eye.

Liao Yu stood on the street with a stunned expression, looking up at the direction of the billowing black smoke.

"What's going on, forcing you to take sides?"

The navy soldiers rushed to the scene of the incident with guns, and the nobles began to advance to the castle under the command of the navy soldiers, and the poor people around them ran into the houses in a panic, slamming the wooden gates, and the originally prosperous and vibrant dock turned into a turbulent stream in an instant.

The explosion in Royer Harbor also ignited the madness of the countless pirates in the harbor, who swarmed towards it like a school of sharks smelling blood, and Liao Yu could see countless ragged pirates with short knives rushing towards it from the rooftops and alleys.

Liao Yu quickly weighed it and decided that he could not let go of this opportunity to gather intelligence, so he easily pulled out the long knife hanging in front of a blacksmith and rushed towards the explosion point with the flow of people.

Listening to the shouts coming from behind him, Liao Yu felt a little guilty in his heart. There was no way, Hantang didn't allow him to bring any lethal outside items into the cold, he tried, and even the fruit knife was not allowed to be brought into Hantang.

"In this mission, we must find a way to get a handy weapon to take away."

On the periphery of the warehouse, the door of a dilapidated hut creaked open, revealing the panicked eyes of a noble lady from behind. It can be seen that this pampered lady obviously has little experience in hiding, and the sound of the door and the angle of looking reveal many flaws.

Luckily, no pirates seemed to pass by, and the noblewoman, after making sure of it, took her daughter by the hand and rushed out of the hut to an alley in front of her left, where her noble and ornate lace hat was long gone, and the hem of her anti-corruption dress had long since been torn.

The noblewoman accompanied her husband to the Marquis Statham's castle, and the high-minded business was not suitable for them women, so she took advantage of her daughter's request to go to the daughter of the Swann family to come out to breathe, but she was caught up in danger by the chaos.

At this time, she only hoped that the rumored and mysterious alchemist Nick had the strength to match his fame and let their mother and daughter survive.

Unfortunately, she overestimated the scruffy blonde old man with a top hat in front of her, and his moral standards were obviously not as high as she expected. When she rushed into the room with her daughter, not only did he not get up to help, but he even showed a hint of disgust.

However, what ultimately disappointed him was that when she screamed and pulled her daughter away from the pirate's chop, the old man only raised his eyelids slightly, stepped on a plank under his feet, and then a hook suddenly flew out along a slide and hooked a round-bottomed medicine bottle beside her that almost landed.

"You! You...... I...... I have money, I can give you everything you want, don't hurt us. ”

The noblewoman trembled with rage, and her expensive lace-trimmed dress was stained with the mud of the docks, but the danger at hand made her want to stretch out her hand to accuse the old alchemist, so she could only turn her head desperately to the black pirate and beg to go around, while praying in her heart that God would send a knight to save them.

The stout black pirate grinned and walked towards his prey, but if you looked closely, you could see that the veteran pirate was looking at Old Nick sitting next to him. Seeing that he was already approaching the noblewoman, Old Nick still looked half-squinted in glasses, and the pirate suddenly felt relieved.

He strode and was about to slash the lady's shin first. As long as this woman's leg is injured, she is not at her own disposal, Old Nick is remote and dark here, except for some veteran pirates, no one will come to disturb them......

At this moment, the pirate suddenly felt his body sink, as if someone was dragging him behind him. His face changed, he bent his knees and rolled on the spot, widening the distance from the alchemy room.

"The reaction is quite fast, it looks like a veteran pirate who has encountered a magician, it's really troublesome."

Liao Yu, who was hiding on the roof, watched every move of the pirates, he didn't know who lived next door to the house below, but through the reactions of the pirates and the navy in the past, as well as the pharmacy sign hanging outside the door, he could deduce that the identity of the people inside was not simple. Seeing that the old man had no reaction to the passing pirates, Liao Yu had the courage to tentatively lurk in the vicinity.

Of course, with Liao Yu's cautious temperament, it is not his style to deal with such an unknown existence as soon as he makes a move, he just feels that the environment here is convenient for hands-on, and it is very suitable for intercepting and killing pirates. As for whether he can get in touch with the alchemist of this dilapidated shop, it can only be fate.

Under the gaze of both parties, Liao Yu rolled over and fell from the roof. Although it is safe to use magic to attack from a distance, it does not achieve his goal of capturing pirates.

"Where did you come from, are you really going to be an enemy of the great Atlantic Pirate King Liquor Card?"

Perhaps because Liao Yu had cast the curse of sluggishness in advance, the pirate's tone was very restrained.

"Liquor Card?"

Seeing a trace of doubt flashing in the oriental man's eyes, and whispering the captain's name, the pirate added again: "I am Lord Carter on the great Captain Liquor Card, and I advise you to hand over the two people behind you to me." ”

Liao Yu glanced sideways at the frightened mother and daughter, the delicate little girl was shrinking into her mother's arms, looking at herself timidly.

Liao Yu gave her a reassuring look, turned his head and shrugged his shoulders at Carter, and replied with his actions.
