Chapter 235: Boarding the ship
Looking at the ugly stump of the tiger-shaped monster falling from the sky, he hesitated, but Benjamin still held them up with water vapor and didn't let them fall into the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, he had never seen such a foul-smelling monster. The blood that splashed out also gave him a strange feeling, it was too viscous, and it seemed to be a little different from the blood of ordinary demonic beasts.
Maybe...... It has something to do with the process of its domestication.
Glancing at the river thief boss who was still howling in pain, Benjamin supported him with water vapor, and the remains of the demonic beasts, dispersed the Ice Moon Blade, and began to fly back.
Fortunately, no other boats passed through the river during this time. Therefore, this battle between him and the river pirate boss did not attract the attention of others and would not lead to any other accidents.
Soon after, he was back in the town of Serra and landed safely where he had been. At this moment, the mages also dealt with the other river pirates, and when they saw Benjamin's triumphant return, they immediately gathered around them, and discussed the battle just now.
"Mr. Benjamin, you've been fighting for a long time...... We almost thought you couldn't beat that monster rider. ”
Benjamin shook his head, pointed to the remains of the demonic beast, and said, "Let's clean up these things first, although I don't know what the demonic beast is, but maybe I will use it in the future." ”
Hearing this, everyone also nodded. The two potion mages walked out, endured the stench, and began to clean up the body of the tiger-shaped demonic beast that had been cut into several pieces.
As for Benjamin, he didn't rush to deal with the river bandits, but turned his head to look at the group of townsfolk huddled to the side.
When the river thief boss appeared, he once revealed the identity of Benjamin and his party. And in this town, the wanted notice is well posted on the billboard, and Benjamin has to worry about the possibility of his whereabouts being leaked.
So he walked towards the townspeople.
"Master Dharma and Master, yes...... Did you kill that flying tiger?" However, somewhat unexpectedly, the townsfolk looked at him without showing a look of fear, and even looked a little excited with a straight look in their eyes.
Benjamin was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.
"Master Mage, what ...... Will you kill the rest of the river pirates?" the old man, who looked like the mayor, also spoke, cautiously asking.
"This ...... I still have questions to ask him, but when I'm done, I'm sure I'll kill him. Benjamin replied.
Suddenly, all the townspeople showed expressions of relief on their faces, and some even cried with excitement.
The old man stood up, walked over to Benjamin, and bowed deeply.
"We don't know who you are, and we don't care what says on Wanted. But...... You are the benefactors of the town of Serra, and always will be. ”
Benjamin was flattered.
At that moment, he suddenly realized what all this meant to the townspeople.
After living in the shadow of the river pirates for so many days, frightened and strapped for food, how much hatred should they have for those river pirates?
If the river pirates continue to cause trouble, the situation in the town of Serra will definitely get worse and worse, and those who can do their best to move out of the town will try their best to move out of the town, and the remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled people who can't run away will eventually be killed by the river pirates because they can't get enough food. To put it bluntly, the town is in the terminal stages of cancer, and it may not be long before the name no longer exists on Ikor's map.
And the appearance of Benjamin and his party was the most terrible tumor they had removed. In other words, they brought the town of Sierra back to life.
That's why they face Benjamin with this attitude.
After saying those words of thanks, the old man, who seemed to be the mayor of the town, took a step, walked to the side of the billboard, tore off the wanted notice on it, tore it to pieces, and spilled it into the river.
"Mayor Mare, that's a ...... from Her Majesty," someone exclaimed.
"We have reported the matter of the river pirates so many times, but where is Her Majesty?" said the old man, standing by the ferry, hunched over, "Her Majesty does not protect us, but someone has protected us. ”
Benjamin stood by and watched as the fragments of their portraits sank into the bottomless river of Fit, like fallen leaves.
He understood the mayor's intentions.
Benjamin and his party did not hesitate to kill nearly 100 river thieves, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, they may also kill the remaining townspeople. Therefore, in order to convey to Benjamin that they would never leak secrets, the old man tore the wanted warrant to shreds and threw it into the river.
The old man wants to protect the rest of the townspeople......
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't intend to kill people in the first place, and it was really not something they could do to kill these townspeople who had no power to resist.
"It's all right, you guys...... Go home. He looked at the townspeople, shrugged his shoulders, and said.
The townsfolk nodded their heads, bowed to Benjamin, and dispersed.
As for Benjamin, he also turned around and returned to the group of mages. He had a few words to the mages, and then they boarded the boat that was leaning at the ferry, with the river pirate boss and all sorts of luggage, which had been controlled by the pillar of steam.
- The river pirates have been exterminated by the mages, and now, this ship, which originally belonged to the river pirates, has naturally become their trophy.
Truth be told, none of them know how to sail. But it doesn't matter, they still have magic.
After collecting the anchor, Benjamin used the pillar of steam, and the other mages also took action, and all kinds of wind magic were piled up, and finally, the big ship left the shore and floated aimlessly with the current.
They didn't care, though.
In fact, all they need is to move the location.
Although the town of Sierra Town has made such a statement, the bounty for the wanted warrant is still very high after all, and there may still be informants. But with such a ship, Benjamin and his party were able to leave the town of Sierra quickly.
As long as you run farther, it doesn't matter if there is someone to tell you or not.
After the ship was ashore, they put away their magic and checked the entire ship's construction. From the inside, it was a rather simple and crude ship, with a large room for people to sleep, compared to that of a slave ship. As for the other messy rooms, there are probably storerooms, animal cages, and captain's rooms...... Benjamin didn't have the time to check them all.
They didn't plan to stay on the ship for long.
Choosing a random room, Benjamin brought in the tied river pirate boss, closed the door, and prepared to start learning about the taming of the beast.
A healing water balloon slapped into the opponent's face, stopping the bleeding a little, and also sobering up the river pirate boss who was a little unconscious.
"I ask you, how did you manage to make that monster completely obedient?"
The river thief boss came back to his senses and looked at Benjamin, still with a pained look between his eyebrows.
“...... If I told you, would you let me go?"
Benjamin didn't bother to lie, shook his head, and said, "If you do, I can make you die a happy death." ”
Suddenly, the river thief boss became angry again, and said, "Then don't think about it, no matter how much you torture me, I will never tell you a word." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Benjamin was not angry at all, but nodded and showed an unprecedentedly cordial smile, "I also want to try to see how many torture methods I can make with my current ability?"
“......”
Probably because the wound hurt again, the river pirate boss stared at Benjamin's smile and suddenly shivered.
