(Xiaohe will be busy these days, and may not have time to manage the book review area, and when Xiaohe is busy, he will have time on Sunday, and Xiaohe will reply once.) By the way, thank you all for your support and encouragement during this time!! )
Soon, the sailors took out more than a dozen heads from the cargo compartment below deck and placed them at Adrian's feet.
Adrian lifted Captain Will's head and brought it in front of the eyes of the two Chosen Warriors, gently brushing away the hair that covered Captain Will's cheeks.
Seeing Captain Will's face clearly, the older Chosen Warrior suddenly showed an incredible look and exclaimed, "Captain Will! ”
Adrian nodded, "That's right, it's him." ”
The elder Chosen Warrior was immediately in awe, but asked in disbelief, "Your Excellency actually killed Captain Will?" ”
Adrian shook his head and said, "Of course it's not just me, I also have two powerful companions, my partner almost died in order to kill this damn water thief, but fortunately one of our companions is a priest who is proficient in healing spells, so he was able to save his life." ”
The older Chosen One looked behind Adrian and asked, "What about your companion?" ”
Adrian said: "On the way back, we wiped out a few more fish-man villages, and my companion was accidentally injured again, you know, magic healing can't be too frequent, so I left him in the western city-state of Acca, where my fellow priests took care of him. ”
Saying this, Adrian turned back to Gunder and said, "Gunde, go and bring up the heads of the two fish-man chiefs, and bring us a box of loot." ”
Soon, two heads, clearly different from ordinary fishmen, and a large rudimentary wooden box were placed at Adrian's feet.
The elder Chosen Warrior picked up the huge head of the Fish-Man Chief and observed it for a moment, and said, "Dear Excellency, this is indeed the head of a powerful Fish-Man Chosen Warrior. ”
He turned to the young Chosen Warrior and said, "Go back to the port and report to General Hall about the situation here. ”
The young Chosen Warrior nodded, and was about to leave, Adrian hurriedly stopped him, she bent down to open the box, grabbed a small Saura pearl from it, handed it to the young Chosen Warrior, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, these Sara Pearls represent my apologies, please be sure to accept them." ”
The young Chosen Warrior was slightly stunned, and involuntarily looked at the older Chosen Warrior.
The elder Chosen Warrior hesitated slightly before nodding to the younger Warrior.
The young warrior nodded slightly to Adrian, took the pearl, and turned to leave.
When the young warrior left, Adrian grabbed another handful of sara pearls and stuffed them into the older warrior's hand, and he accepted them without refusal.
After the young Chosen returned to his ship, a dinghy was lowered into the water and paddled toward the harbor, from which a short time a flag was heard.
After the pirate warship docked, it immediately attracted many onlookers.
In order to build momentum, Adrian asked Bode to hire a carriage and asked Gundt to direct the sailors to unload the nearly 1,000 fish-man heads from the cabin.
Later, she went with the two harbor guards to meet the general of the harbor guards, General Hall.
The Third Fleet of Leoni was responsible for the security of the largest port in Leony, and the land station of the Third Fleet was on a hill west of the port.
Hall met Adrian on the third floor of a large, fortified fortress in the fleet quarters.
When Adrian walked into the large office, the tall General Hall was standing at the window looking into the harbor, as the Gunder had caused a stir when they had unloaded a large number of fish-man heads from pirate ships.
Adrian stopped and tapped lightly on the door frame before General Hall suddenly turned around, and he stared at Adrian for a few moments, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
General Hall slowly walked behind the huge desk covered with military maps, sat down, and said slowly: "I know Captain Will, one of my right-hand men died under his hands, to be honest, I don't believe you can kill Captain Will, the nature of your strength is very strange, but it is too far from Captain Will." ”
Adrian closed the office door with his hand, took two steps forward, and said: "Your Excellency, your guess is very accurate, we were able to kill Captain Will, there is a lot of luck, it was my companion who attracted his attention with his life, and he was killed by my sneak attack from behind." ”
General Hall was noncommittal and said, "Oh? ”
Adrian knew that a sentence or two would not reassure the shrewd general, so she simply launched a stealth spell in front of him, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
General Hall was taken aback by Adrian's sudden disappearance, and his eyes shot a light again, scanning around the office.
After a long time, he stared at the position near the gate and said, "Your Excellency's stealth technique is very magical, and now I believe that you can kill Captain Will." ”
Hearing this, Adrian took the stealth technique and showed his figure.
General Hall looked at him with interest and said, "Although the priest's ability is very complex and changeable, your stealth technique is still very rare, and if you can cultivate it systematically, it is an excellent scout." ”
Adrian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know where this ability came from, I was detected to have priestly talent since I was a child, I was trained in the temple since I was a child, and at the age of twenty-two, I suddenly had some strange abilities, which are very different from most priests. ”
General Hall asked with interest, "What ability?" ”
Adrian flipped his hand and took out a bayonet, swung it in the air, making a sharp wind sound, and then a dark red light flashed on his arm, which was the magic that she had inspired the Dark Hand, and waved her arm again, the wind of the bayonet was even sharper and piercing.
General Hall muttered, "The difference in arm strength before and after using the spell is more than doubled, and with such a powerful attack coupled with stealth, it's no wonder that Captain Will died at your hands." ”
Gaining General Hall's trust, Adrian stopped his show.
She took two steps forward and whispered to General Hall, "General, I have another very important piece of information to report to you. ”
General Hall nodded and said, "Say." ”
Adrian said: "After we captured this pirate warship, we captured the first mate, the second officer and the boatswain, and under our torture, the second mate and the boatswain confessed an unbelievable thing, they said that Captain Will was actually a member of the Greene family in Sumeia City, and he disguised himself as a water thief in order to trade with Blackwater City. ”
General Hall frowned and said, "What about the prisoners?" ”
Adrian said, "It's on the boat." ”
General Hall slapped his desk hard and said, "This Captain Will even dares to attack our ships in Leony, if I can confirm that he is related to the Greene family, hum......"
Saying this, General Hall said loudly, "Someone." ”
A guard at the door pushed the door in, slammed his chest hard, bowed and said, "Please command, Your Excellency General." ”
General Hall said, "Go to the temple and ask Priest Merlin to come, and say that we have an important prisoner here to interrogate, and let Bilbo come to see me." ”
When the soldier went out, he said to Adrian: "I will ask my adjutant to bring those prisoners back for interrogation, you better not deceive me, otherwise you will ......"
Adrian hurriedly said, "Of course, I dare to swear to the gods. ”
General Hall nodded noncommittally.
Adrian took advantage of this opportunity to take out an egg-sized pearl from his arms, walked quickly to General Hall's desk, put his hands on the table, and said: "This pearl was discovered by accident when we exterminated the fish-man tribe, it is of no use to remain in our hands, I plan to dedicate it to the fleet, hoping that it can play some role in the fight against the orcs." ”
With that, Adrian quickly retreated.
General Hall looked at this huge Suluo Pearl, with a look of surprise in his eyes, such a huge and perfect Suluo Pearl, even for him, is extremely precious, and the Suluo Pearl, a water treasure, is undoubtedly extremely useful for the water troops.
General Hall stood up with some restraint, took the pearl in his hand and hurriedly examined it, and put it in a drawer.
He looked up with a smile on his face, and was about to say something when there was a soft knock on the office door.
General Hall's face was grim and he said, "Come in." ”
A tall, handsome blond young man walked in, he gave General Hall a standard and beautiful military salute, and asked, "General, what do you command?" ”
General Hall pointed at the blond youth and said, "This is my adjutant Bilbo. ”
After speaking, he pointed to Adrian and said to the adjutant, "This is a citizen......" He stopped slightly embarrassed here.
Adrian hurriedly said, "Celtic, Your Excellency, my name is Celtic. ”
Admiral Hall continued: "Oh, this is Celt, who and his companions have exterminated the odious Captain Will, and brought in several important prisoners, and you shall at once bring them back to the headquarters of the fleet, and keep them under strict guard, and I have sent for Priestess Merlin, and she will interrogate them herself." ”
Bilbo bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I will go now, and I will ensure the safety of the captives." ”
General Hall nodded, and said, "This Celtic not only exterminated the water thief Will, but also exterminated a large number of fishmen, and you sent a small team of people to escort them to the temple with the loot." ”
Bilbo felt a slight strange feeling in his heart, Leoni was very safe in the city, and there was no need for an escort, but of course he would not let out the strange expression in his heart, and immediately bowed down and agreed to the general's orders.
Bilbo led Adrian out of the general's office, left the barracks, and walked towards the docks, talking to Adrian very politely along the way, and constantly testing his relationship with General Hall.
Adrian naturally understood what his temptation was for, and when she left the fleet station, she took out Solo pearls with a diameter of more than three centimeters from her arms, handed them to Bilbo, and said: "Your Excellency, this is the trophy of our extermination of the fish-man tribe, I think it is more useful in your hands than in my hands, please be sure to accept it." ”
As soon as Bilbo saw these pearls, he immediately understood why General Hall was so polite to this person, and the other party was able to give him such a precious thing, so needless to say, it was naturally more precious to give it to General Hall.
Bilbo quietly took the pearl and became more kind.
To tell the truth, Adrian was very uncomfortable with this kind of bribery, and it was Bai Qi who repeatedly explained that she had to do it, but now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good.
