Chapter XXII: The Pirate's Proposal

In the corner of the Hall of the Phantom Sword, Prince Essyan and the Treasure Thief Peterch stood opposite each other.

The atmosphere was dull and wonderful, and the rare treasures that shimmered all over the ground seemed to be huge treasures from another world, which made ordinary people salivate, but they were far from enough to shake the posture of the true king.

After a long time, Ai Suyan suddenly smiled slightly, his handsome face was not shocked, and he said without changing his face: "Although I do have doubts about the existence of the Pirate Fjord that you said, if I were to accept an outside intruder, it would be as ridiculous as a guard stealing himself. ”

Behind him, countless mana dragons flapped their wings, like alien guardian angels, and Peterqi scanned the audience with a sharp gaze, and then said slowly: "Then give you a piece of advice, young man, I am indeed useful to you, besides, how can you get me here alone?"

"You must pay for your hubris, thief!" Essouyan seemed annoyed, his arm suddenly bursting into force, and the blade of his sword instantly turned into a deadly weapon, pointed straight at Peterqi's chest.

Due to the anger and disdain of the sword wielder towards the opponent, the power, speed and power carried by this sword have all reached the rare first-class master realm, and the unstoppable fatal blow will definitely make the opponent bleed in an instant.

However, Petch didn't let out the frightened screams he expected, all he did was scan the scene around Essusyan one last time with a calm gaze, and then disappeared in an instant.

And for Prince Ai Suyan, the failure of this blow was far beyond his original expectations and imagination.

Although the sword swings forward freely, it loses its target at the moment when it is about to touch the target's body. Essouyan turned around in shock, only to find that Petqi had quietly moved behind him at some point.

"You actually launched such an attack on me?" he said, as if slightly disappointed, "recklessness does not always pay off, young man, do you think I will sit still?"

Then he smiled fakely, and his right arm suddenly stretched out to his waist like lightning, and then under the gaze of Ai Suyan's watery gaze, a strange-shaped weapon suddenly appeared in his hand.

"It's worth mentioning that the weapon I hold in my hand has increased its speed while retaining its lethality. ”

"Now, with the blade in your hand, measure my strength, the honor of the Pirate Fjord, guarded by the strong for generations!" he said uncharacteristically loudly, and then his fingers seemed to make an extremely light movement, followed by a loud "bang", the tip of the weapon suddenly erupted a cloud of crimson flames, and a silver projectile roared and tore through the air barrier at a speed that was difficult to observe with the naked eye, and struck at Essusyan's chest with a swift and incoherent speed.

However, the premonition before a crisis is sometimes just right in time to be where it is needed.

In the face of all this, Ai Suyan quickly swung his sword to block the frame with his quick reaction as a warrior, and with a "bell", the projectile violently slammed into the silver-white blade, and sparked golden sparks as dazzling as meteors. The force of the impact caused Essusyan's steps to retreat again and again, and after he stabilized his figure, he found that Petqi had quietly opened the back cover of the strange weapon, and was adding some unknown object to it.

"The trick you used to dodge my sword strike just now is a kind of 'physical technique', right?" Aisuyan suddenly lowered his blade and asked unhurriedly, while the pirate Peterch held a fire-breathing weapon and looked at him with a stern gaze.

If you want to put aside your preconceptions and speak kindly, then I will give you an affirmative answer: Yes. His tone gradually calmed down, and then he also lowered his weapon, and said solemnly: "If it weren't for my physical skills that can instantly increase my reaction and movement speed, maybe I would have been hit even harder than I am now, so to be honest, I am not completely sure that I can defeat you who have cultivated the Silver Sword Technique to this point, but for you, it is the same as me in the current situation." ”

Ai Suyan was slightly stunned, although his face was calm, his heart was also turbulent.

This guy is indeed not a small person, and he actually recognized the long-lost silver swordsmanship of the Silver Wing Royal Family with just one blow...

"The weapon in my hand is the ultimate creation of mechanical power, we call it the 'Neptune Musket', as an improved version of the Continental Musket, its power, range, accuracy and capacity have undergone a great improvement, and it is almost a handful in the rich Pirate Sound. And we owe much of our prosperity and strength to a legendary mechanic who has been working quietly behind the scenes: Mr. Zorardo. ”

There was a hint of smugness and pride on his face, but his voice remained calm: "But without further ado, since we both want to talk well, allow me to ask you a simple question." ”

Ai Suyan raised his head slightly: "If there is no malice, I will answer truthfully." ”

"First of all, I must pay you a sincere respect, noble and mighty swordsman, who has a rare courage and conviction that the great Pirate Fjord is calling to you. He suddenly said with a respectful face, which surprised Ai Suyan.

"If you are willing to let go of your useless and weak reserve, then you only need to follow me to the port in the southern part of the Liuxia Kingdom, and then follow the instructions to take the wind-breaking pirate ship disguised as the 'Black Sail Merchant Ship', and then cross the turbulent waves and waves of the Sea of Stars, and you will arrive safely at the destination of freedom and wealth: the Pirate Fjord of Liberty Island, where the rules and laws of the world will no longer be able to bind you, and even the gods of the sky can only look at you from afar. ”

"To be a handsome captain is to sail over the slow and fast seas as easily as a horse through the wilderness. Until the sailboat successfully reaches the end of the sea of stars, until the magic of the whole ocean is visible to us, and our footsteps in the vast world will not stop. ”

"This is the preciousness of freedom, join us, and the wealth we have together will become an infinite capital that you will squander for a lifetime. Do you think it's okay?"

His eyes looked at Ai Su Yan expectantly, and Fang Cai's hostility gradually began to fade, but Ai Su Yan shook his head slightly.

"That's a pity, forgive me for not complying with my fate, and I'm not just a swordsman, I'm a prince. Ignoring Peterch's slightly astonished gaze, he continued to himself: "My kingdom was born out of a glorious tale, and the blood of glory that has endured for millennia has flowed in my heart like a tidal wave, and I am as inseparable from my people as fish and water, and if I break the oath of my ancestors, the country and the people will fall forever into the abyss from which they will never recover." ”

Peterch had an incredulous look on his face.

"Oh, I didn't think you ended up here. He whispered, "Isn't the thing you're chasing is exactly what we let go of in the past?"

Ai Suyan was silent, just shook his head and gave his own infallible answer.

"If you think that we in Pirate Fjord are completely insulated from the so-called glory, that is also a fallacy. Peter said thoughtfully, "Actually, eight hundred years ago, our ancestors also lived in the court of the Liuxia Kingdom. ”

He glanced at Ai Suyan's face that was also surprised, and then said slowly, "They are from eight different upper-class families, and there are many of them. At that time, a shocking palace coup drove them into a corner. After much deliberation, they made a risky decision. ”

They unloaded all their heavy and useless things, boarded the sailing ship in the harbor of the southern Stellar Sea, and disappeared silently at the end of the sea before their opponents could even notice it. ”

"On the shores of the watery sea, the adversaries who followed them gave up their search for their vanishing footprints, and returned to the palace of the royal capital with triumph. ”

"Five hundred years later, a powerful force that had never been known to the world quietly rose beneath the distant sky. ”

"To the north of the southern walls of Denario, in the most inaccessible part of the Sea of Stars, on a mysterious island that no one had ever set foot on at the time, they mined its abundant timber and gold, intent on building a second extraordinary, truly beautiful home. ”

"For five hundred years, their families were married, prospered, and believed in wealth and freedom, building harbors and factories on desert islands, and proudly calling their new home 'the island of freedom' and 'the home of pirates'. ”

"They became the most powerful pirates ever created, carrying the flames of vengeance with them, extending their fears once again to the south of the Wandering Clouds. ”

"Three hundred years ago, the magnificent Pirate Fjord finally fulfilled its dream, and with it, the undefeated faith of pirates. ”

"The overlapping and intricate structures, the accumulation of timber materials, and the chattering and laughing visitors and residents all contribute to the virate fjord's cosmopolitan cosmopolitan city. ”

"Two hundred and fifty years ago, a mysterious mechanic who claimed to be called 'Zorardo' traveled from afar to his heart's desire, carrying many drawings that no one had ever seen before. ”

"'Storm Breaker', 'Harpoon Hook Lock', 'Neptune's Musket'... He promoted these strange machines to the factories of Liberty Island. ”

"After that, the power of the pirates was greatly strengthened..."

"Riding in small, sturdy sailboats, they cut through the waves and sailed straight ahead of their dreams, plundering the ports and villages of the southern land of Liuxia in order to seize more of the already scarce resources such as fresh water and meat. ”

"The wanton raids have caused panic among the people in the southern part of the Liuxia Kingdom, and the rumors of Liberty Island have begun to resound in all directions. ”

As time passed, the King of Liuxia made a promise in front of everyone that if the inhabitants of Liberty Island let go of their old hatred, they would be able to enjoy the glory of their ancestors again. ”

But the pirates rejected their king, saying that they were merely inhabitants of the sea, and had long forgotten what the people of the land were. ”

"Our raids will continue, and I hope you will surrender soon. ”

"The unbearable King Liuxia dispatched all the forces of the kingdom's navy and vowed to expel this group of hateful pirates from the south of the kingdom..."

The foaming rhetoric made Ai Suyan stunned.

"So, who won this battle in the end?" he asked, interrupting Peterch.

"The answer is obvious, after that war, our prestige was eventually spread throughout the world of Denario, so..."

Peterch smiled: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so I will tell you the story of this battle..."
