Chapter 186: Is Magic Like This?
Heading at full speed, the Vengeance bared its fangs, more than fifty guns erected on either side of the ship, and pirates screamed and pulled up their sails, transporting barrels full of gunpowder to the sides of the deck in preparation for the battle to come.
Curtis stood on the bow with his hands behind his back, looking at the Rokka in front of him, and there was no expression on his face.
Unlike most people's impression of a vicious pirate leader, Curtis's appearance is somewhat feminine, and if you don't look closely, you may even think of him as a woman, and he seems to be quiet most of the time, and the affairs on the ship are generally handled by the first mate, and he is only responsible for giving orders.
However, the pirates on the ship knew that this was just an illusion, Curtis was more ruthless than anyone else when he went crazy, and it was this man who steered the Vengeance through wave after wave of waves in the storm belt, forcing the Rokhua into the eye of the storm all the way, when the lightning split the waves, the thunder tore the sky, and the demon god-like figure on the bow of the ship made all the pirates fearful.
Curtis put down the binoculars in his hand and said lightly, "There is no storm belt nearby, they can't escape this time, let's kill them all when they catch up." β
"Kill them all?" the boatswain beside him was stunned, "Forget about the civilians, there are still a lot of nobles on the ship, it's all money, they can extort a sum of money if they keep it." β
The first mate couldn't help but speak, "Captain Auden of the Liuhua I know that he was the best smuggler in the Narrow Sea area before, and he is very familiar with the underground black market in many cities, if we can recruit him, it will be much easier for us to sell the stolen goods in the future, and his boat driving skills are also very good." β
Curtis's gaze darkened, "Have you forgotten who the captain is?"
The pirates on the ship were suddenly silent when they heard this, Curtis did not become famous early among the pirate leaders, and he did not kill the most, but he was the most legendary, when he first escaped from the Holy Alliance, he once rowed a small boat alone for several months on the sea, and only encountered a passing ship on the sixth day after the food and water were exhausted, and the other party was the most notorious black undead pirate group in the northern seas.
More than half of the people in this pirate group are mentally ill and murderous, unlike other pirates who mainly rob money, the black undead leave little to live where they go, and even other pirates rob them whenever they have the chance, they only rescued Curtis because they have been too bored lately, and they want to torture this woman-like guy for fun.
A month later, when the Black Undead's Revenge sailed into the pirate harbor, they were surprised to find that the ship had a new owner, the original owner's head was hanging high on the mast, and the group of madmen on board were all gone, and at the same time a pirate group called the giant whale began to recruit people in the tavern.
Curtis's legendary deeds are not the only one, after becoming a pirate, he also fought against the navy, and also fought against several pirate groups at the same time, and the most important thing is that the giant whale pirate group did not suffer much in these battles, which also made Curtis's prestige in the hearts of the pirates soar.
This time, he personally led the three ships of revenge, hounds and sea wolves to chase the Liuhua, and he was able to find the location of the other party accurately in the vast sea, which also surprised his sailors.
So even though Curtis now gave an order that was incomprehensible to the pirates, under his prestige, everyone carried it out seriously.
Curtis's eyes flashed with a subtle look of disgust, he used to be an instructor of the Knights, so he felt it most clearly, in discipline pirates can never be compared with formally trained soldiers, although their personal strength may not be weak, one-on-one many trainee knights are not the opponent of some veteran pirates, but this group of people is narrow-minded, never only look at the immediate interests, will not think about tomorrow's things, often pirate groups mutinied because of the uneven distribution of spoils, killed the captain and first mate, and then were exterminated by the navy or other pirate groupsγ
Even if his group has been trained a little organized in the past two years, it is still difficult to change the bad habits of pirates after all, this is a group of hopeless guys, if it weren't for the need to use their strength to go to sea, Curtis would not be bothered to manage this group of pirates, but for now he still had to appease the emotions of these guys, so he paused and added, "I know that there are ships smuggling silver between Brado and Port Pothos, and I will take you to rob them after this order." β
There was a burst of cheers and whistles on the ship, the people who would come to be pirates themselves were in for the money, and nothing excited them more than plundering, and with Curtis's promise, everyone was no longer like the order to sink the Rokka, which was good or bad for them, and they just wanted to win the battle quickly, and then go and grab the dwarves' silver.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd, and a pirate snorted softly and said, "You...... Who are you, and how did you get on our ship?"
Almost at the same moment, Curtis sensed something, turned sharply, and saw the man and woman on the deck.
Curtis remembers very well, just half a minute ago there were only cables in that place, but now there are two more people out of thin air, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes, there are no other ships nearby except for the Wave, which also belongs to the giant whale pirate group, how did these two guys get on board?
Among them, the young man with a sword on his body and a staff in his hand was still patiently explaining magic knowledge to the girls around him, as if he hadn't noticed the group of pirates around him. Don't be confused by the rank, many times the combination of low-level magic is enough to solve the problem, the levitation technique is a sixth-order magic, but its pre-magic floatation technique is only a third-order, which can also make people float in the air, and at this time, as long as you release a second-order magic movement breath of the wind system, you can move in the air, although it can't achieve the effect of the levitation technique, but it is enough to deal with the current situation, and if you want to sneak in quietly like I just did, you need to add a stealth technique. β
The girl's eyes lit up, someone's words seemed to open a door to a new world for her, before she was very simple in the use of magic, according to the teachings in the book, but rarely thought that she could combine several low-level magic like this to create the effect of high-level magic.
Is this the so-called talent? The girl sighed that with the guidance of the other party, her gains in the past four months have far exceeded that of more than half a year in school, and even gave birth to a feeling in her heart, "Is magic like this?"
