Chapter 24: The Magician
Hans didn't think much about it, he also raised his right hand in support of Donner's decision, and then Gerry and the other pirates immediately raised their hands, and even Ferdy had two subordinates, who were affected by this group behavior, and couldn't help but raise their hands.
Ferdy glared at the two pirates, who retracted their hands in a mocking voice, and Ferdy said in a calm tone, "We abstain." ”
He didn't care about the lives of the sailors, he wanted to support Alan and comfort him, but he was worried and didn't want Jasmine to know that he was against her on the ship.
But he couldn't agree to Donner's proposal, Donner had enough of the limelight, and he didn't want to let him get carried away again.
Donner only pouted at Ferdy's decision, typical of the wall, what his men thought didn't matter anymore, and the pirate group already had more than half of them supporting his decision.
Downer continued: "Raise your hand in support of Deputy Head Allen. ”
In fact, there is no need to raise his hand to decide, but Donner just wants to completely destroy Allen's prestige.
Donner took a look, that is, several of Allen's subordinates raised their hands, and even Allen himself admitted defeat and did not raise his hands.
Donner smiled: "The minority obeys the majority, now you have no opinion, Deputy Head Allen, I think you seem to have given up on your own decision." ”
Alan still had a fierce look, and he didn't speak anymore after a 'hum', he understood that now on the ship, Donner had dominated the pirate group.
The fate of the mercenary sailors was finally decided, which gave them a real sigh of relief.
Donner walked up to them, condescendingly, and asked, "Tell me, where did you come from, where are you going, and who is the ship's owner?"
Several sailors looked at each other, and one of them replied, "Captain, we are sailors from Manhill Harbor, hired by Lord Theodore, and are preparing to go to Grant City. ”
Neither of these places had been heard of by the Donners, and the Pirate Regiment had no map and no idea where exactly these two places were.
That wasn't the point, and Donner didn't ask in detail, he glanced at the sailors and asked, "Tell me, who's Theodore?"
"Lord Theodore is not here. The sailor whispered.
"Not here?" Donner was stunned.
"Yes, Captain. During the battle, Lord Theodore hid in the lower deck of the ship. ”
The owner of the ship is hiding in the cabin?
Donner nodded to Matthew, who was beside him, and Matthew understood, and immediately walked towards the cabin with the two of them.
"Wait...... Head. "The sailor wanted to say something.
"What are you waiting for?" asked Donner, but soon he saw Matthew quickly retreat from the cabin, and among the men walking in front of him was the clothes on their chests that were on fire.
"What's going on?" Donner was startled, "quick, put out the flames on him." ”
The flames didn't burn much, they just lit the clothes on the shoulders. Several men quickly extinguished the flames on the pirate with their clothes.
"There's a magician on board. The sailor only told Donner at this time.
Donner wrenched the sailor: "Why are you only saying it now?" ”
"Captain, I was about to say!" the sailor was pitiful.
"Forget it. Donner let go of the sailor and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there under the cabin?"
"Three!" replied the sailor honestly.
"Is that magician powerful?" Donner didn't know anything about the power of the magicians in this world, but he guessed that the magicians under the cabin were probably not that powerful.
Otherwise, there is no need to hide in the cabin when it is the turn of the pirates to come on board and plunder.
You know, in the novels that Donner has read, in the world of high magic, magicians can kill a large area in seconds by casually throwing a spell, and even the city can be destroyed by releasing a forbidden spell.
But looking at the flames on the pirates' bodies, they only ignited their clothes and burned their skin, and the flames were not as inextinguishable as the true fire of samadhi, and in terms of this power, at least within the controllable range, it was not impossible to deal with.
Donner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought of this, if the magicians of this world could really master the power that destroyed the world, this pirate ship would have been sunk to the bottom of the sea by a magic thrown by the other party's magician.
Donner came to the hatch of the ship with his arquebus, thought for a moment, and said loudly: "Dear Mr. Magician, oh, and the Lord Theodore, come out obediently, if you don't come out, I will set the ship on fire and let you sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish." ”
There was no sound in the cabin for a while, and Donner waited for a while, seeing that there was still nothing, and continued: "I have dozens of sounds, and if you don't come out again, I will immediately set fire to the ship." ”
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
......
Donner had barely counted to five when there was a noise in the cabin, the clatter of the wooden staircase, and soon three men came up.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing a black magic robe and a pointed hat.
The middle-aged man was probably the magician, and he was holding a curved wooden staff with strange runes carved into it, and a fiery red crystal inlaid on the top.
Another middle-aged man was dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, with a round belly, meticulously groomed blonde hair with a shawl, and at least five gemstone rings on his hands.
The last young man was not very old, estimated to be about twenty years old, wearing a knight's leather armor and a gorgeous knight's sword hanging from his waist, standing behind the two of them, seemingly a loyal guard.
Theodore did not have the slightest arrogance of aristocrats, and turned a blind eye to the slave mark on Donner's face, he stroked his chest with his left hand, and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette to Donner, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Your Excellency, the contemptible man who has come to Manhill Harbor is the butler of the Count of Eleanor, and it is truly the favor of the goddess of light to be able to meet the chief at sea today." ”
Donner accepted Theodore's compliment with interest and watched his performance quietly.
Theodore kept a humble smile: "The cargo on the ship is to be given to the chief as a contemptible gift, and I beg the chief to allow us to leave the sea." ”
Donner smiled and said, "Lord Butler, you may not know very well, now ...... You, and the ship, are our captives. ”
A fine white sweat broke out on Theodore's head, and he maintained his demeanor and said, "Your Excellency, I have some gold coins, please allow us to redeem ourselves." ”
"No, no, no!" Donner shook his finger, "Don't you understand? Now your gold is mine, Mr. Magician, are you right!"
The middle-aged magician, who had been hiding his face in a pointed hat, heard Donner's playful words, raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Filthy pirates, you deserve to hell." ”
"So...... I wonder if the esteemed Mr. Magician can give me a ride with magic?" Donner teased, satisfying his own bad taste.
Donner's words made the pirates laugh.
“......”
An obscure murmur came out of the middle-aged magician's mouth, not thinking that the thing was actually reciting a magic spell.
Donner couldn't cry or laugh, just like you? Release the magic and chant the spell, at this speed, Lao Tzu has killed you ten times,
Joke aside, Donner didn't really want to be killed by magic, even if he wanted to see the power of magic, he wouldn't experience it for himself.
Donner lifted his arquebus and pulled the trigger: "Mr. Magician, if you don't want to die, stop your magic." ”
"Bang!"
Buckshot struck the magician's feet, punching a finger-sized hole in the wooden deck, seemingly breaking the magician's spell?
Donner blew out the muzzle of the gun, glanced at the sweaty steward Theodore, and said slowly: "Now, I officially invite you to our island as a guest. ”
