Chapter 122: Captain Saleen (Part I)
[I had a terrible headache yesterday. I owe another more, and I wrote more than 2,000 words that I was not satisfied with, and I deleted them all. Today's body feels better, three more will not be less, seeing that the end of the month, I strive for tomorrow's four watches]
Unbeknownst to Salin, these pirates roamed the seas, looked vicious, and were able to rob treasure. In fact, there are very few pirates who are actually rich. For pirates, the most valuable thing is the pirate ship. The pirate ship belongs to the captain and has nothing to do with these little pirates.
Saleen directly killed the captain and robbed the ship, but in fact the pirates did not feel the pain.
The yellow-bearded pirate plucked up his courage, took a step forward, looked up and said to Salin, "Master Mage, my name is Jupiter. ”
"Oh? haha. Salin laughed, now the emperor of the Yunliu Empire is also called Jupiter, and the name of this yellow-bearded pirate is really interesting.
"Jupiter, are you literate?"
"Master Master, I will write Qin Yin's text. Jupiter replied honestly.
"Write me everyone's information, and I'll ask for it in the evening. The rest. Set up camp on the beach first and take everything off the boat. Saleen commanded, feeling that he was not the material to lead the pirates. With so many people letting themselves command, it will definitely be chaotic. She couldn't ask Rex for help in this matter, Rex was an orthodox nobleman, and she was asked to command a group of pirates who were traitors, and Saleen didn't think he had such a big face.
Saleen gave a simple order to do before nightfall, and the pirates dispersed in a disorderly manner, and then Saleen said to Daniel, "You can keep an eye here, and I'll go and talk to Rex about leaving." ”
Without waiting for Daniel to reply, Saleen reunleashed his unique flying technique and flew away in a cloud of mist. Watching Saleen fly through the air, Daniel's mouth was a little bitter. Can Saleen fly? Could he be level five?
Level 5 mages can fly short distances with the help of alchemy equipment, and level 4 mages don't even think about it.
Regardless of Daniel's feelings, Saleen went straight back to the Magic Tower and came to Rex. "Rex, I've captured more than a hundred pirates, and I don't have to spend money on labor. ”
Rex looked at Salin's excited face, held the huge alchemy device in front of the magic tower with his hand, and sighed: "More than a hundred pirates? Do you want to get back to Myers with these pirates, unless we're lucky, don't run into a ship in Cloud Flow or Alchemy City. ”
Qin Yin's army was organized with 10,000 people as a battalion, 1,000 people as a flag regiment, 200 people as a brigade, 40 people as a squadron, and a squad of eight people. The ones that have increased or decreased on this are all support classes or mages. Rex said that one of her squadrons, Forty Cavalry, could take out the pirates. It's not a boast either.
"Rex, this isn't a war, even if you go back to the alchemy ship, you don't plan to let people know, right?"
"Not for the time being. ”
"Then how do we get back to Alchemy City?"
Only then did Rex understand that Saleen was going to use these pirates as a cover to hide the secrets of the alchemy ship.
"We need to go back, we haven't done business yet. Saleen said with a smile.
Rex said keenly: "Salin, you pirates, you are in your charge, I don't care how they train." Don't try to subdue these people to your advantage. Pirates have their way of survival, you are a mage, are you still messing with these pirates at sea? When you arrive at Qin Yin, I don't care if you let these people go or sell them, but don't think about letting me take them to Kushui County. ”
Salin's words were directly blocked, he rubbed his brows, and said worriedly: "These more than 100 people are very obedient, I can't kill them, right? These are people who can be called without money, just take care of the food." ”
"I'd rather spend money on a swordsman with a clean net. Rex flatly refused. Her ideal kingdom doesn't want these robbers who kill people and set fires. Even if these people are obedient, she doesn't want such people to become subordinates.
"Then I'll take it first, you don't object, right?" Salin retreated, there was no one around him at the moment, only Daniel was half-hearted. He couldn't always put Sika and Neris at the front of everything, and these pirates might be able to help a lot if they were trained.
"Then you take it, I'm not responsible for taking care of it. Rex simply brushed it off, not negotiating at all.
"Rex ......"
"Salin, don't say it, if you want loyal subordinates, I will go back to Kushui County, and I will give you a banner regiment, and these thousand swordsmen will follow you for the rest of their lives. These pirates cannot be trusted. Rex raised his eyebrows, a clear glint in his eyes. The setting sun shone on her face, leaving a pearly glow on her fair skin. Saleen froze for a moment
The thinking of the aristocracy is different from that of the businessman after all. Salin admits that Rex has a point, professional soldiers are much stronger than these pirates, easy to manage, and will not mutiny at will. However, Kushui County lacked manpower, and Salin always thought that if he could make a little more benefit, he should not refuse.
The pirates of this ship may not be a strong combat power, at least they are still good sailors, and on the sea east of Qin Yin, there are at least hundreds of such pirates, all of which are integrated, which is also a good strength.
Salin thinks. On land, the development of Kushui County is really difficult, and if it can occupy the sea and open up the route between it and the kamikaze country, it will definitely be an opportunity for rapid development. It's a pity that Friet is dead, and I don't know when this route will be discovered, so subduing the pirates at sea in advance will be of great help in finding the route.
"Rex, I'll stay with these people and take them to the north. Saleen didn't know why he suddenly became resolute, and his thoughts, which had faded away, came alive again. It may be that he is still obsessed with his origin, and Rex's attitude makes him a little uncomfortable.
Rex smiled and said softly to Salin: "Salin, don't be so sensitive, you are a mage, and the people around you must be safe." Do you know the rules of the pirate game?"
"I don't know. ”
"Kill the captain, you're the boss. ”
"Oh, that's what I did!"
"You're just making them obey temporarily, and if you want to do things with them, you're ready to be betrayed at any time. Rex reassured Saleen in a different tone.
Saleen thought for a moment and said, "We need sailors, you have a lot of qualified fighters." But no one knows how to sail. I'll keep doing that, as for the pirate game...... I'll make them change. ”
"How to change?"
"We Skochenians believe in contracts, I'm a magician, and of course I'm going to make a contract with these guys. Salin laughed, a little weirdly.
Contract magic is also a power, and if used well, it can completely control these pirates. It's just that no magician has done this before. Wasting the power of magic against this rabble was something that only Saleen could have come up with.
"Well, so be it. How's your Divine Combination refining?"
As soon as Saleen heard Rex ask about this, his spirit suddenly brightened. He took out the bright yellow gourd, which had an extra layer of cyan patterns on its surface. The mouth of the gourd has been cut off, and a gemstone is set on it. It was a white ghost with spatial attributes, and only a wealthy guy like Saleen could inlay such a high-grade gem on such a rudimentary piece of equipment.
Salin didn't chant any incantations, just slapped his hand on the gourd, and a stream of water more than five meters long suddenly appeared in the white ghost, which was condensed and coiled around Salin's body like a long snake.
"Huh?" Rex was a little surprised to see this. This water flow cutting is just an attack magic, and now in Salin's hands, it seems that this water flow has a spirituality, and it can fly freely without consuming any of Salin's power at all.
"How did you do that?" Rex couldn't help but ask, there were very few secrets between her and Saleen, and Saleen wouldn't hide this knowledge of magic from her.
Salin didn't know how to answer, he almost made a mistake when refining this divine combination. There is simply too much water in the Divine Harmony, and it is extremely pure. He simply couldn't control the balance. When the water elemental was about to go berserk, the two mutated water shield in his left hand blocked the gourd and completely merged into the gourd.
The two shields of the water pattern disappeared, and the equipment that was refined had its own spirituality. None of this was the result of Saleen's control, and he simply couldn't answer Rex's question.
This water stream of more than five meters is blue and blue, and the natural magic patterns in the water flow are still changing, which is a little bewitching. Salin didn't have to deliberately control it, the current coiled around his body, like the most obedient contract creature.
"Try the might. Rex said, taking out a metal pillar and throwing it on the ground. This metal pillar has a diameter of more than half a foot and is yellow-orange-orange in color, but it is pure copper made of seven kinds of metals. This copper is the most cost-effective metal, which can be used to make large shields and build arrow towers in large cities.
Ordinary magic can't destroy this metal directly, if it is used to build an arrow tower, plus a magic array, it can at least resist the full force of magic below level 4.
Salin pointed at the copper pillar with his finger, and the turquoise water wrapped around his body flew out with a snort, and it was only a twist that wrapped around the copper pillar. The thick copper pillar silently broke in two. The water flew back to Salin's body, and there was no weakening.
"That's right, it's close to the attack power of level 6 magic!" Rex said in surprise.
Salin smiled, there was another secret to this current, and Rex couldn't see it. Unless he encounters a dangerous enemy, he doesn't have to show it. He slapped the gourd again, and the water flow more than five meters long got back into it.
"Now you shouldn't have a problem dealing with a deacon-level priest. Rex analyzed cautiously.
"It's a pity that there are templars, bishops, oracles, a whole bunch of messy guys above the deacons. As she said this, Saleen felt a sense of relaxation in her heart. Refining the Divine Combination, sure enough, let him know more secrets about the badge. The strange pattern on the badge is the embodiment of the seventh power.
He couldn't use the power of thunder and lightning yet, but he could already see the way forward.
