Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Legendary Pirate
"A pirate ship that dares to appear on the Imperial routes."
"It seems that I have met the legendary pirate who has risen to prominence on the seas in recent years!"
"Old man, I don't even know if I've had good or bad luck lately."
Mister looked at the dozen or so pirate ships sailing in the distance, and had already drawn his rapier at his waist.
Mister didn't draw his sword to rush to the pirate ship to hunt pirates.
He was just trying to prevent it, and at the same time, he had already begun to use his holy power to imprison the sea fish under his feet and move away from the pirate ship at an angle of forty-five degrees.
The legendary pirate Thorfinn, the great pirate's name has been resounding in the coastal cities of the empire in recent years.
Just because, this legendary pirate is not an ordinary person in his own right.
After all, not all of the holy relics and transcendents belonged to the Silver Sanctuary or the major churches on the continent or even the great nobles of the major kingdoms.
Wild transcendents, although there are not many in the Solse Continent, there are also many of them.
Especially in the age of great discovery, there were some villains among the pirates who had been in harmony with the relics.
Thorfinn is one of these villains.
In the Empire's current intelligence, Thorfinn's identity and most of his experience have been almost stripped away.
Thorfinn, a native of the Gulf, was the son of a noble remnant of the Gulf Kingdom of Avarosa, which was annexed by the Pals Empire in 958 A.D.
The people of the Gulf Kingdom of Avarosa call themselves the Gulf People.
They believe in the god of the four seas, the 'god of tides and the sea' that Mister mentioned earlier.
The god of the tides and the sea has been on the throne for the shortest time, and is also the youngest of the human gods.
During the invasion of the gods, the palace of Avarosa is said to have been protected by him.
It stands to reason that the Pars Empire would not dare to destroy a kingdom blessed by a true god.
But alas, by the time the Pars Empire destroyed the Gulf Nation, the gods had been asleep for more than 900 years.
What's more, approaching the Age of Discovery, how can the small Gulf country occupy so many excellent ports?
For this reason, in the friction again and again, and after the Pars Empire allowed the Tidal Church to preach in the empire, the two hit it off, so without the intervention of a large number of transcendents in the Church, and even under the propaganda of the Tidal Church to slander the small royal family in the bay, a small coastal country was immediately destroyed and annexed by the Pars Empire in the central continent.
As for the arrangement of the Tide Church, of course, the Pars Empire did not lose its word, and immediately allowed the Tide Church to preach in the Empire.
After all, the church is the foundation of the true God, so the Pars Empire does not dare to destroy a church blessed by the true God.
In short, in the end, the great pirate Thorfinn, who was only five or six years old at the time, was the remnant of an aristocratic son who had destroyed the country, and completely embarked on the path of piracy.
Then, in the year 987, five years ago, the great pirate rose to prominence.
According to the Imperial Intelligence, this great pirate is suspected to have found a high-level or even a saint-level relic with the power of the water element that suits him and successfully matched with it, thus becoming a powerful transcendent.
He actively recruited the pirates of the Menuit Sea, and finally became the well-deserved pirate king of the Meruit Sea three years ago.
The Imperial Navy of Pars has been actively fighting pirates, and is even tracking down this pirate's home base.
But alas, for several years, the Imperial Navy did not take advantage of this great pirate at all.
Therefore, after thinking that the current pirate fleet might be the fleet of the great pirate Thorfin, the first thing that came to mind was Saint Mister, who only had the holy power level of a mid-level holy relic, was to retreat.
But unfortunately, although his existence seemed very small on the sea, it was discovered at the first time.
The two were separated by more than ten nautical miles, but at this time, a voice full of richness and banter appeared in Mister's mind.
"Hahaha!! Little ones, look what I found! ”
"Ahh Looking at the dress, it turned out to be a silver temple crumb left alone on the sea! ”
"Haha!! What a surprise and a lot of fun! Looks like we can have some new fun today! ”
“......”
The voice of the great pirate Thorfinn appeared, and at that moment, Mist immediately knew that he was in trouble today.
And just as Mister was thinking so, sure enough, in the next moment, Mister saw that a figure suddenly jumped on the leading pirate ship in the distance.
The figure jumped out of the sea, and at his feet there was a great rising wave.
The wave carried the figure, and it approached him at a speed far faster than the fish of the sea beneath Mister.
And behind this figure, Mister also saw more than a dozen figures jumping from the pirate ship one after another.
Obviously, these figures are the pirate Thorfinn's men, and they are one of the few villains under his command who possess extraordinary strength!
As for what will happen next, Mister can already be sure
It is impossible for him to escape on the sea, let alone to be the opponent of the current great pirate.
So Mister simply stopped running away.
Because that would only make him look extremely out of shape as a saint of the Silver Temple, and it would also make those pirate villains even more excited.
However, the current situation seems to be very unfavorable for Mister, but Mister's face is not flustered at all, and even seems very calm.
Because, in the process of these pirates approaching him, Mister has thought a lot.
Although the Church of the Tides has long offered a bounty on Thorfinn in the same way as the Imperial Navy, and even said that Thorfinn was a blasphemous.
But the great pirate Thorfinn has always declared himself to be the most devout believer in the gods of the four seas.
He also said that the Tide Church had already fallen, and that they were the blasphemers, accomplices and culprits in the destruction of the Gulf Kingdom.
For such a person, what would Mister do if he said that he had information about the miracle of the god of the sea?
Therefore, at this time, Mister already had a way to save himself from the difficulty, although he didn't want this way, but the reality was too helpless, and he had no choice but to do it.
So, soon, Saint Mister finally saw the face of the legendary great pirate Thorfinn in front of him.
This is a man in the prime of his thirties, who looks quite tall and has a strong sense of oppression from his superiors.
"Oh, what a strange thing, why didn't you run away from this silver temple scrap?"
"Don't you know who I am? Think you can beat me? ”
The pirate Thorfinn stood on top of the rising waves, looking down at Mister standing on the back of a sea fish, with a hint of amusement and confusion in his tone.
"Haha, this is needless to say, Lord Thorfinn, look at this guy's eyes, he obviously knows your identity, I think he obviously knows that he can't escape, so he is waiting for us here!"
"Oh, by the way, these guys from the Silver Temple, like those hypocritical nobles on the mainland, seem to care a lot about their so-called identity and image!!"
One of the pirates burst out laughing, and the others did the same, looking at Mistre with a playful look.
"Oh, it seems really, so you Silver Temple guy is like this bastard of mine?"
Thorfinn smiled dissolutely, and continued to question Mist.
At this time, Mister was no longer silent, he replied without humility or arrogance: "Although there are some discrepancies, but there is not much difference, I do know your identity, I think you are the legendary great pirate His Excellency Thorfinn, right?" ”
Thorfinn didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but laughed again: "Haha! Look, bastards, this bastard knows me! ”
"He's got a lot better eyesight than the guys who were lucky enough to escape a few days ago."
"Yes, yes, it seems that my name is still spreading very well on the mainland."
"You guy doesn't look strong, but you're quite smart, then, the miscellaneous pieces of the Silver Temple, report your name, I, Thorfinn, am happy today, and I am very merciful, and I have decided to leave you a whole corpse, haha......"
