Chapter 121: The Pirate Regiment Strikes
Bailey tries to reclaim the mana reactor, and Edge feels her attachment to the mana reactor.
This made Edge's face difficult. At the same time, he also had a little wavering in his heart. He thought about whether he was really worried about Bailey because he was blindly holding the magic reactor? Could it be because he still wanted to occupy the magic reactor in his heart, so he held the magic reactor on the grounds of protecting Bailey?
In that case, 'protecting Bailey' is really a high-sounding reason for a villain to act. Even if it's not like this, if you want to protect Bailey, it's your own one-sidedness. Maybe Bailey doesn't want to do this at all, so isn't she self-inflicted and self-righteous?
I have to say that Aggie is a sensible person and at the same time an emotional person. He wants to be kind, but he can't be pure good. He wants to be evil, but he can't be pure evil.
It was precisely because of the fact that Giroud saw him that he felt that he was tired of living. Is it okay for him to have a better personality?
In fact, Aggie will have such a personality, which is related to his growth and experience. When he was young, he tried to protect the villagers, but failed. He hated the invading army of the Bhikino Empire so much that he had dark thoughts for a while. But at the same time, he has love for the people around him and wants to protect everyone around him.
Throughout his experience, the people he wanted to protect were not fully protected, such as the dead villagers and Anne, whose whereabouts are now unknown. These made his complex feelings spread a kind of guilt, making him think that the people around him would have accidents because of his fault.
So even Bailey, who has just met now, wants to protect it in every possible way.
"I'm sorry, Edge, I can't give the mana reactor to anyone, I have to get it back, please forgive me. Bailey's expression was gloomy, and she walked step by step towards the immobile Age.
Edgie didn't intend to give her the mana reactor, and said, "Why? Why do you have to get it back? I can see that the mana reactor has put a lot of burden on you, even guilt. Do you think that if the magic reactor falls into the wrong hands, you will have to bear all the consequences?"
"Because you created the magic reactor. "One of the advantages of Age's inner complexity is that he can often see through a person's psychology.
Bailey froze, stopped, and said, "Isn't it? Isn't it my responsibility?"
"Yes, you're right, it's your responsibility. So, who are you going to give the mana reactor to?" Edges continued.
"I ......," Bailey was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Edge sneered and snorted, "Hmph, now you don't want to hand over the mana reactor to anyone, am I right?"
"Originally, you created the Mana Reactor for the army, but you must have seen that if the army uses the Mana Reactor, the war will become endless and expanding. ”
"You don't want to see that because ...... You created the Mana Reactor to end the war, not to increase it, right?" asked Bailey.
That's not a question, it's an affirmation. He affirmed that Bailey's purpose in creating the Magic Reactor was to end the war, not to increase it.
Bailey stopped coming near him when she heard him, and she lowered her head and clenched her fists so hard that no one could see her face. Occasionally, the shape of water droplets can be seen reflected on the decks of merchant ships.
Bailey cried.
"Edge...... You're really cunning......" After a long silence, Bailey cried slightly and said, "Life is already so difficult, there are some things, don't you debunk it, okay?"
Age's heart trembled, and Bailey's words made him feel guilty. He thought he had hurt Bailey's heart deeply, and was speechless for a moment. He didn't want to say so much, but he felt that he also knew from the beginning that Bailey was carrying a lot of things alone. Just like him, he lives with something heavy on his back.
He didn't want Bailey to live like this.
Bailey lowered her head and sobbed, and did not speak again. Edge didn't know what to say, she didn't expect things to turn out to be so disturbing. He tried to turn around to look at Bailey, but he was imprisoned in the cage of hell and couldn't move.
"Agey!"
Suddenly, however, Giroud, who was lying on his shoulder, was once again exclaimed through his soul powers. He didn't know what was happening, but soon, with the help of Giroud's power, he felt a rush of power coming from behind Bailey.
"Bailey, be careful!"
Faced with the sudden rush of power, Edge had a sense of foreboding. He spun around and threw himself in front of Bailey, grabbed Bailey's thin waist, and jumped to the side.
"Bang!"
It was very thrilling, and after Eggie hid to the side with Bailey, a pink tentacle immediately burst out from the bottom of the sea. The antennae were extremely sharp, striking the deck of the merchant ship, causing a large hole in the deck.
"You...... You...... Can you move?!" Bailey didn't immediately see what was going on with the tentacles that suddenly flew in, because she was stunned by Edge. She looked at Edge in disbelief, Edge could actually move, under the powerful imprisoned magic hell cage she had created, she could actually move when she said it?!
Why did Edge break free from her hell cage?!
Bailey began to feel that Edge was not as simple as a powerful man, he was still a man full of mysteries!
In fact, as I said before, Aiji has the trump card of the demon dragon Jiroud, and it is not difficult to use the power of the ancient demon dragon and godhead to break the confinement of the hell cage. Just now, Edge was anxious and worried about Bailey's safety, so he quickly used Giroud's power to break the confinement of the hell cage.
"Well? Now you know there's no way you're going to take the mana reactor from me, right? So, don't bother with that in the future, listen to me. Edge smiled at the surprised Bailey. He wanted to make Bailey as relaxed as possible, not to be overshadowed by gloomy emotions and a little debauched grin.
"You ......" Bailey saw Age's smile and thought he looked even hateful, like a lewd hooligan who was wantonly molesting a girl.
Soon, Bailey realizes that Edge is holding her. Ah~ This can freak her out, it's too ambiguous. Her face turned red suddenly, and she exclaimed shyly, "You...... You...... Let go of me!"
In fact, if you don't need her to call Aggie, she will let her go, and now Aggie's attention is not on her. Naturally, Edge's release of her led to the middle of the deck, staring cautiously around, reminding Bailey, "Bailey, be careful. ”
Bailey adjusted from her shyness, and her eyes became serious. The tentacles that had just escaped from the bottom of the sea had disappeared, and I am afraid that they had returned to the bottom of the sea. What she didn't understand was how she could suddenly attack herself with tentacles from the bottom of the sea.
But since it was something like tentacles, she and Aegie could guess that it wasn't a human, but an undersea demonic beast.
"What's the matter? ?...... the old captain rushed out with a few sailors, and shouted in some panic.
Just now, the deck of the merchant ship was attacked, and a big hole was broken. The old captain naturally felt such a commotion, and he panicked because he was worried that something would happen to the merchant ship. Accidents at sea can be deadly, and nothing worse than the sinking of a ship. If the ship sinks, no one can expect to live.
Once you fall into the sea, you don't have to be lucky enough to swim or be lucky enough to have a plank to hold onto. If you are careless, you will be eaten by the underwater monster at any time. Undoubtedly, humans are definitely at a disadvantage at the surface of the sea. If you don't have enough strength, you can't fight the underwater demonic beasts at all.
"Old Captain, you all go back to the cabin, it's dangerous outside!" Seeing the old captain running out, Edge immediately shouted at him.
The old captain knew that Edge had killed Boon at the Namigawa docks, and knew that Edge was a man of great strength. This is also the reason why he readily agreed to Aegie to board his merchant ship. For example, in this situation, if there is an accident on a merchant ship, Aggie will definitely help, which is equivalent to getting a free 'bodyguard'.
Receiving Edge's warning, the old captain immediately retracted. Edge's strength was good, and he exclaimed, and the old captain believed that something must have happened.
"Ahh......h
Unfortunately, however, although the old captain shrank back, the sailors who came out with him were not spared. They were immediately entangled by a few tentacles that sprang out of the seabed, and as soon as they strangled their bodies, they screamed in pain, and then they stopped moving, and they were afraid that they were dead.
Edge's eyes were sharp, and as his tentacles killed a few sailors and tried to reach back to the bottom of the ocean, he jumped a few times and swung the Moros Blade. Then there were a few 'whoops', and the tentacles were severed, splattering purple blood. And the tentacles that fell on the deck of a merchant ship could move a few times, jumping like a small fish.
"Whoa...... Roar ......"
Soon, the big ship rocked as if it was about to capsize.
Edge moves from her original position to Bailey's side, protecting her. Seeing him like this, Bailey was touched in her heart, and she was inexplicably moved.
"Bang!"
"Bang la la~~"
At this time, a wave surging next to the big ship was several times higher than the ship, which was very terrifying. As the waves surged, the big ship was washed out by the rising waves.
Edge was still holding on to Bailey.
When the waves receded, the big ship slowly stabilized with the strong sails.
"What's that?!" After the big ship stabilized, Bailey leaned on Edge without shaking, and was the first to see what was in front of her. She saw a huge eight-clawed underwater beast in front of her. The head of the underwater monster is semi-circular, with two large terrifying eyes. However, the most terrifying part is still its eight tentacles of teeth and claws.
Look at that look, what is it not an octopus?
"Hee-hee~~"
Bailey exclaimed, and a shrill laugh rang out. Hearing this, Aegie saw a bearded man with a turban standing on the semicircular head of the octopus monster. His turban fluttered in the wind, and Edge could faintly see an octopus on it.
Seeing this, an idea popped into Aiji's head: Could this be a pirate?
But if it's a pirate, how can it be a person?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
......
As soon as Edge wondered why the pirate was alone, suddenly, one after another small octopuses flew out of the sea around the big octopus monster, and there was a person standing on the head of each small octopus.
Seeing this situation, Aegie no longer thinks that there is only one pirate who appears, which is clearly a pirate group!
