Chapter 287: Leap of the Eagle, King of Assassins
Adventurers who have been out for a long time, no matter which sequence they originally worked in, or what kind of transcendent profession, have a kind of lawlessness engraved in their bones that is incompatible with the civilized world.
After all, in the wilderness, in the sea, in the ruins in all places that human civilization has been unable to reach, the inherent rules of social no longer apply.
Lose your humanity and lose a lot, lose your bestiality and lose everything.
Everything naturally returns to the simplest and most straightforward law of the jungle.
- Whoever has a bigger fist and is more intelligent and cunning will be able to control the team's voice.
Especially the best A-list adventurers believe in this.
So, when the new Acting Governor, Mr. Byron, brought several of his pirate officers to the docks of the military port with proper etiquette to greet the [Jackdaw] coming from afar.
took the first step and ate the other party's dismount.
To be more precise, all the orderlies in the military port, the passers-by and the sailors, were taken aback by the performance of the adventure ship.
By the time Byron received the news and came out to greet him, the ship was approaching the harbor, and it didn't need a watchtower to see it clearly.
The Jackdaw, which appeared in front of everyone's eyes, was a two-masted sailing ship.
The ship was long and narrow, and the speed was extremely fast, and from a distance, the dozen or so red sails that were particularly striking looked like a raging flame.
The mainsail is bright, and the sail is embroidered with a large silver fish with spread fins and a somewhat bird-like appearance.
At first glance, people can know that it is some kind of strange equipment.
As Byron looked at the ship's owner, a bearded, hooded man standing on the mainmast, the other grinned and whistled.
Phewββ!
A gust of sea breeze blew.
The entire silhouette of the adventure ship is inlaid with a brilliant silver light, faintly forming the appearance of a streamlined fish.
Then he flicked his giant tail and hit the sea, and suddenly took off from the sea with a whole adventure boat.
With the eyes of the onlookers widening a little, the [Jackdaw] glided towards the military port at a speed of about 15 meters per second, or 30 knots, against the sea breeze.
It's like the human creature has become a real flying fish.
The whole ship was more than 4 meters above the water, and the rudder brushed the crest of the waves on the sea, flying 400 meters in one breath!
"O Creator, ships can fly."
"I'm not dreaming, it's heaven on this boat!"
ββ
Both the port staff and the sailors who had been hiding in the harbor couldn't help but exclaim.
The way this [Jackdaw] appears can be scored a perfect score.
As soon as it appeared on the stage, it left a deep impression on all onlookers.
Only Byron's face was as usual:
"I never cared if other people's boats were fast or not, no matter how fast they were, they weren't as fast as I was.
It's so fast that you can fly, and you're still a boat. β
As Byron was promoted to the third order, his spirituality continued to increase, and the limit distance of activating [Echoes of History] to read the history of other people and objects became farther and farther away.
At this time, it has been raised from the original six meters to sixty meters.
When the opponent approaches at high speed and enters the range where the ability takes effect, he instantly spies on part of the opponent's details.
"This brig is not equipped with a strange bow statue, but a clever craftsman and dark wizard have sealed the soul of a large sea monster [Crowtail Flying Fish] in a sail made of fish skin.
At the same time, the materials used in the construction of this ship, whether it is the keel, mast or rudder, are probably also taken from the skeleton of the large sea monster.
The whole [Crowtail Flying Fish], which can be used to defeat the battleship, was bone-drawn, skinned, and soul-trapped, and only then did it succeed in creating such a strange warship. β
Any adventurous ship that dares to go to the "Serpent of the World: Celestial Circulation" will inevitably have the means to fight against the "Windless Belt".
When others can't walk an inch because of the lack of wind.
However, there is a high probability that the flying [Jackdaw] can easily take advantage of the vertical upward updraft there, and fly faster and higher than anywhere.
Obviously, at the beginning of the design and construction, it was born to cross the celestial circulation.
It also shows in disguise that the owner of this ship is very rich!
Just as the Jackdaw flew all the way to the highest point, the bearded captain jumped from the top of the mast dozens of meters above the sea with a feather in his hand.
"Ahββ!h
"Someone killed themselves!"
The onlookers at the port let out another series of exclamations.
Experienced sailors know that diving and swimming are commonplace.
However, if you dive too high or have the wrong posture, the surface of the sea will look like a rock.
Forty or fifty meters high is enough to tear the human body apart.
What's more, this man's landing point is not the sea, but the wooden trestle that extends from the port, and Byron standing at the front of the trestle!
But the adventurous captain didn't fall as straight as everyone had expected.
Instead, the white robe, which was clearly deliberately widened, slid like an eagle predatory and swooped down from the sky.
The wind blew slightly, and the hood he had been wearing on his head was revealed, revealing a pair of yellow eyes as sharp as an eagle, and clearly threw Byron a defiant look:
'Look silly, I'll fly!' β
The ability he used was actually an assassin's stunt [Eagle Leap], which would not fall to his death no matter how high he jumped from as long as he held a piece of feather!
It was also the specialty of those West Coast Hawk's Nest assassins back then.
For hundreds of years, it has killed all the powerful and terrified.
"Nothing can be true, and there are no shackles in means.
Sea hunters? Is it you the new governor of the colony mentioned in the notice of the Admiralty of the Kingdom? Let me see what you're capable of, and eat my sword! β
Boom!
With a shock of both hands, two snow-bright hidden blades popped out, like the beak of an eagle striking together, the cold light was clear, stinging people's eyes.
Byron also knew that even when the grass fell and went up the mountain, he had to arrange a seat.
A group of transcendents who are strangers to each other team up and work together to achieve a big and small king.
Take off the cloak of a civilized man, and there is nothing more neat and neat than fighting like a beast.
It's better than being kind on the surface in the workplace, but stabbing a knife in the back and wearing small shoes.
Moreover, this first reinforcement to return was clearly an assassin anomaly with a flamboyant personality.
"Captain Jackdaw [Hawkeye] James Kent? I appreciate your courage. β
Byron simply placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist and watched the assassin flying down from the sky.
There was an instant aura of murder between the two of them.
No one would think that the protector of this port, the famous pirate, would be a soft persimmon to be manipulated.
Just when the onlookers thought it would be a dragon battle with exquisite swordsmanship.
The spiritual glow of each of the two suddenly erupted at the same time, and the whirlwind that stirred up fascinated the audience's eyes.
"Good opportunity."
[Eagle Eye] A pair of slender Hidden Blades in James Kent's hands disappeared in an instant like a dream bubble.
Instead, there was a double-sided axe, a long-handled battle axe with a blade larger than a wheel!
Lifted high above the top in a "roof-up style" and injected with its own presence, this hideous killer immediately gained the same material, weight, and lethality as a real wheel tomahawk.
Even on the blade of the axe, a radiant rune [gravity] was formed.
The Tomahawk may seem normal in size, but it actually weighs more than a 32-pound gun (3 tons).
Once he is allowed to slash down with the momentum of a high-altitude fall, just relying on his own weight, he can smash people and trestles into pieces.
"Despicable!"
The pirate officers behind Byron were furious.
The captain of this adventure ship is the same profession as Gus, born from the Phantom Blade of the Eagle's Nest Assassins on the West Coast.
However, he was obviously far stronger than Gus, who was only a second-order.
The [Fantasy Treasure House] that has awakened the third order.
Not only can you imagine ordinary items such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds, but you can also realize all kinds of strange objects with extraordinary powers.
Even if the replica must be weakened to varying degrees compared with the real thing, this method is enough to match the ever-changing sentence.
This is also the supreme essence of the Assassin's motto: "Nothing can be true, and there are no shackles in means"!
As the saying goes, how can you be a grandmaster without knowing how to use a gun?
If you can't learn that wrenches, crowbars, battle axes, and muskets are all hidden blades, how can you be the king of assassins?
Relying on this hand to take him by surprise, [Hawkeye] James Kent was also undoubtedly a first-line master among all the third-order transcendents.
And then
He saw the "sword technique" used by Byron.
The eagle-like pupils shrank suddenly, and then he fell to the ground on his knees, and knelt down on one knee and a half in front of Byron with a "poof".
The chic and handsome [Eagle's Leap] broke the gong on the spot.
The strange battle axe, which had amazing destructive power, also turned into colorful light particles little by little, dissipating in the sea breeze.
This special effect that can easily confuse other people's five senses looks very eye-catching.
James Kent looked at the thick and hard things that were pointed at him from the front, back, left and right.
I swallowed dryly, and my forehead was instantly soaked with beads of sweat, and I ran down my cheeks and bearded chin, dripping on the trestle.
But he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it.
Slowly looked up at the [Sea Hunter], who had been smiling all the time three steps away, and squeezed out an extremely ugly smile on his face:
"Your Excellency, this is all a misunderstanding.
I'm a favorite joke of all, the first time we met, just to make you happy and congratulate you on your succession as governor. β
Byron looked at him with a smile, but there was some disbelief on his lips:
"Is that really the case?"
[Eagle Eye] James spoke earnestly, and swore with a gambling curse:
"It's true! I'm the best at manipulating illusions with the five senses, so be sure to let me perform on stage next time I have the chance.
Absolutely satisfying you. β
Hearing this, Byron breathed a sigh of relief and made a gesture to him:
"Well, I forgive you.
However, you must remember that you must be polite when you go to someone else's territory in the future, otherwise it is easy to be broken. β
After confirming his eyes, the other party is a person who is very flexible in tactics and bottom line like himself.
This collaboration should be a pleasure.
If James was pardoned, he repeatedly assured:
"Remember, next time."
Syllable!
Byron raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The shipborne guns on dozens of warships in the nearby military port, and the hundreds of large-caliber fortress shore defense guns in the various batteries in the military port, were restored to their original positions under the control of the storm elves.
Lift the lock of manual guidance and take back your own unique "ship law"!
It also made James, who was covered in hairs stand on end, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he no longer dared to play the game in the wilderness.
got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his face, and praised him sincerely:
"Mr. Governor, you have gone further than me in the way of the Assassin who 'nothing is true and means are not shackled'.
Breathtaking, breathtaking.
One day, you can compete for the throne of the King of Assassins.
And you're a great pirate with great strength and luck, and it's the first time I've seen it. β
It is precisely because the core class ability of the third-order pirate is [Plunder Like Fire], which can snatch the extraordinary abilities of others out of thin air under limited circumstances.
Byron, the famous [Sea Hunter], became famous only because he cleared Treasure Island and completed the promotion ceremony "Pirate Treasure Chest".
In the eyes of all outsiders, he was a true third-order pirate.
He has the ability to show any kind of profession in him, and it will not surprise others.
Is the proverb "Strength is better than hard work" in vain?
In the future, even if he uses [Storm Admiral] openly and openly in full view of everyone, it will not arouse suspicion.
After all, shouldn't Byron Tudor, a great pirate, Yorkist loyalist, and bandit commander-in-chief, use the tricks of his sworn enemy, the Lancastrian Party?
