Chapter 21 Confirmation of Location
"Name?"
"Asteid."
"Age?"
"Twenty-five."
"Why did you choose to be a pirate?"
"I offended the local thieves' guild in my hometown, so I had to try my luck at sea."
"How many people are on your pirate ship, and who is the captain?"
"There are two hundred and forty-seven of us, and the captain is the great bloody hand—Harlet."
"You seem to admire your captain?"
"Of course! Lord Hallette is the most famous, generous, and worthy captain in the entire Sea of Swords. All the pirates of the Nälancer Islands were proud to be on his ships. ”
"Oh? Tell me more about your captain. And why did he order you to run to this desert island to hunt down the four fugitives, even though he had succeeded in capturing the merchant ships. ”
……
Under Zuo Si's careful interrogation, the pirate captives quickly confessed everything they knew.
And for the same question, there is hardly much difference in the answers of the two people who were isolated and interrogated separately.
There was no doubt that there was a big difference between what he expected to be a simple pirate robbery businessman.
In particular, the style of the "Bloody Hand" Harlett does not look like a simple pirate at all.
It's more like building a huge intelligence network and force in the name of piracy.
Based on the information that the Necromantic Archmage, Asta, had gathered from various captives about the continent of Faeron, Zuo Si probably knew that the Neranthal Islands were located in the southwest of the continent and consisted of thousands of nameless islands, large and small.
To the east, across the Strait of Exeville, is a peninsula that extends from the border between the Amm Empire and the Tyser Kingdom.
At the southern end of the peninsula, there are scattered islands with no names, as well as a place nicknamed "Racing Strait" by passing ships.
As for the origin of the name, it is naturally due to the rampant and widespread piracy in the area of the Närainsel Islands.
All merchant ships passing through the route from the Racing Strait to the Exeville Strait are likely to be targeted, followed and chased by pirates, thus forming a "racing race" in which the front is desperately running and the rear is chasing for the dead.
Although Amm has sent the navy to clean up the situation many times, it has had little effect.
Often, warships come, and pirates disappear.
When the warship was gone, the pirates came out again.
"It turns out that this small island at your foot is next to the Racing Strait, not far from Am's capital - Askatra......"
After learning his approximate location, Zuo Si was obviously relieved.
His greatest fear was that the island he had teleported to was far from the mainland, and that there would not necessarily be ships passing by for weeks, months, or even years.
Compared to this vital piece of information, such as the strange pirate captain "Bloody Hand" Hallette, and the fugitive heir to the Roldan Chamber of Commerce, it is secondary.
However, considering the threat that more than 200 pirates, including goblins and ogres, might pose to him, Zuo Si decided to strike first.
At the very least, reduce the number of pirates.
Especially the guys who were heading towards the cave at the top of the mountain.
"Rhett! Bite them to death! ”
Zuo Si did not hesitate to give the killing order.
From the very beginning, he had no intention of sparing any of the captives.
The previous decent proclamations and rules were just to extract more valuable information from human pirates.
After all, there were more than 200 murderous bandits!
Zuo Si only has one person, and a small number of minions.
Fighting head-on, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
"Woooooooo
Seeing the leopard walking towards him with its fanged mouth wide open, the two human pirates suddenly twisted their bodies like crazy, as if asking "why don't you keep your promise".
But unfortunately, Zuo Si did not mean to answer any questions.
He had already practiced a "heart of stone" in the tower of the Floating City for nearly two years.
In the blink of an eye, the captives were transformed into corpses lying to the ground.
After biting off the enemy's neck, the big cat stuck out its tongue and licked the blood off its lips, as if waiting for the next command.
"Come on, Red. It's time to greet our pirate guests and let them know who is the owner of this island. ”
After saying this, Zuo Si took out the [Manipulating Dead Corpses] wand from his satchel, aimed it at the three corpses on the ground, and released the spells stored inside one after another.
As its name suggests, this four-ring necromancy can transform a relatively intact corpse into a zombie, or discard the flesh wrapped around it and keep only the skeleton inside.
Although in the eyes of the necromancer archmage, Asta, these low-level undead without wisdom are not even qualified to be cannon fodder for themselves.
But for a group of pirates who are generally superstitious and have low combat power, it can still cause some panic and damage.
In a few moments, three zombies made from pirate corpses slid up from the ground.
However, with the exception of the last one awakened, the previous two were quickly out of the caster's control.
Because with the current casting level of Zuosi, it is not enough to control so many undead creatures at once.
Seeing that the two zombies wanted to pounce on him, he immediately manipulated the zombies under his control to knock them down, and then released the control, took the big cat and left at a very fast speed.
By the time the three zombies got up from the ground again, one person and one leopard had already disappeared without a trace.
Losing their target, they immediately began to wander around aimlessly.
You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si created these undead creatures in order to make as much trouble as possible for the pirates who are roaming around the island.
Perhaps during the day, it won't be too difficult to hack down a few slow-moving zombies.
But once the sky darkens, these undead who have [dark vision] and can sense living things in the vicinity will become the deadliest sneak attackers and killers.
What's more, leftist thinking wants to create more than just three or five skeletons or zombies.
Instead, he was going to use up half of the forty or so rounds stored in his wand.
Sneak attack, kill, transform necromancy......
For the next hour or so, he didn't have much effort to work with the leopard and take out all the pirates around the cave at the top of the mountain.
No way!
Who let these pirates be too careless, and they don't think that there is anything on the island that threatens them.
So from the moment they landed, they dispersed and burrowed into dense woods, grasses, and shrubs in small groups.
There is a maximum of four people per squad.
And the distance between the teams is less than 100 meters and more than 200 meters.
In many cases, even if a team finds out that another team has been attacked and wants to rush to the rescue, it will be ten seconds later.
More than ten seconds is enough for Zuo Si to kill all the enemies in front of him, and then use the corpse to transform a few zombies into the next battle.
Although the Creator class is not strictly suitable for combat, it is better to stay in the tower and create all kinds of magical items and strange objects.
But compare it with whom!
Compared to those high-level mages who can summon wind and rain and can release spells such as lightning, flames, strong acids, and poisonous clouds, the creator profession is of course much inferior.
But compared to a group of illiterate pirates, Zuo Si can find more than a dozen ways to kill each other.
This is the gap in knowledge and wisdom.
What's more, now the enemy is in the light, and he is in the dark......
