Chapter 16: The Pearl
Life is all about ups and downs.
Chen Zhou happened to be on the sunken warship, so he was fortunate enough to be invited to the Pearl of the Black Sail Pirates with many soldiers, craftsmen, spellcasters and other experts.
At first, there were many people who tried to resist or fight to the death, but soon no one dared to say anything more because of the pirates' disobedience and killing.
So, at the end of the long day, he was still in the lighthouse annex of Blossom Harbor in the early morning, and in the early hours of the morning, he arrived on the pirate ship sailing towards Liberty Town.
The players didn't make too much noise, and there were not many of them who acted as liaison officers with the ship, and they couldn't suppress the pirates in numbers.
Although they can rely on the advantage of immortality to exchange injuries for injuries, the possibility of being thrown into the sea after death makes them unable to act rashly.
Not to mention that wouldn't be in the player's interest - they'd rather go deep into enemy lines and explore new quests.
"Alas, it's really time to leave the kingdom of Carlos after that."
It's only been a few days, and Chen Zhou's life is like a roller coaster.
It is also foreseeable that after the Kingdom's naval strength is reduced, other countries (especially neighboring countries that are already planning to go to war) may also take action in this regard.
This place is really unbearable.
However, today's night is not very clear, and flying at night may be like some druid with an unknown AOE.
Coupled with the fact that his current situation is not particularly dangerous, Chen Zhou thought that it would be better to wait until the daytime when his vision was more open.
After all, even pirates know the importance of spellcasters, and unlike ordinary people who are disobedient and killed, Marven, the captain of the Pearl, has indeed fulfilled the word "please" towards spellcasters.
At this moment, he was expressing his heart to the casters who had been threatened to board the pirate shipβto entertain a dinner that was sumptuous enough for a life at sea.
It's just that mages and alchemists may prefer to get a good night's sleep, but it's bound to be a luxury.
"They deliberately left the mages without time to rest, to prevent them from having the opportunity to re-prepare their spells."
Who knows if it will work a miracle when the mage rests?
Most of the rest of his colleagues regarded him as a kid with shit luck, who would have thought that there were nearly fifty spellcasters on the ship that was about to sink, and almost eighty percent of the spellcasters in Blossom Harbor were wiped out by him.
Coupled with that group of key experts, it is almost a certainty that they will be promoted by the leader.
At this absurd banquet where looters and captives were intertwined, Marven, the captain of the Pearl, was boasting to Chen Zhou in the second seat.
"Brother Tom, it's not me blowing with you! As long as you join my fleet, I am guaranteed to make a lot of money in the future, and I will grab whatever I want! β
After noticing that the Tiger Warlock was not an outsider loyal to either side, the captain was also moved to woo him.
For a while, Chen Zhou had to suspect that his "misleading technique" was still not in operation.
Naturally, it is still ongoing, but the unaffiliated Tiger Adventurer is already a worthy target, let alone a production warlock with a Tier 1 spell-casting ability and mastering the "Water Creation Technique"!
The repeater who was silently cooking to get a full buff couldn't help but look sideways.
Le, a level 18 green template warrior recruiting a level 22 golden template warlock, where did he get his confidence.
Anyway, the upgrade speed of this golden gradient is a bit fast, how many levels have you upgraded in the past three days, is the warlock really so cool?
"No, I won't be here for long."
Zero o'clock is coming soon, and Chen Zhou, who is about to recover all the times of the power of mythology, even has the confidence to speak: "Maybe I will have to borrow your head and boat at that time." β
Captain Marven's smile suddenly froze, and his face turned dark, but he couldn't turn his face.
Think about it, you also know that the moment you turn your face is also the moment when someone's head hits the ground.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, when the ship sails to Liberty Town, there are ways to pinch each other.
"Haha, dude, you can really joke!"
After saying that, Marven stopped talking and drank to himself.
Not every ship can have a support/production caster like Chen Zhou, and the water that is prone to corruption cannot last long at sea, and it can only rely on wine.
He had to use it to relieve his tension and his pounding heart.
Repeater: Can you still laugh when you are dying?
The rest of the casters looked at each other, each thinking about the future.
As spellcasters, it is easy for them to survive, but that also means that their freedom is restricted.
The tiger man warlock is so indifferent, I'm afraid there is no way to get out safely.
Yes, he is an ice and snow magician, and he may have water and cold spells that can operate at sea.
Seeing this, the repeater gave Chen Zhou a hint, and came to the deck together.
But under the watchful eye of the pirates, the repeater is not easy to say too bluntly.
"Tom, there are too many enemies, don't act rashly." He hinted in a roundabout way, "It's too dangerous at sea, let's go to their lair first." β
The pirate's lair is located in the town of Liberty, known as Treasure Island.
Once there, open the map, and players will be able to navigate the warships in White Eagle Harbor and catch them off guard!
Chen Zhou knows what the players think.
But he couldn't help but wonder, is this necessary?
"Repeater, you can help me ask how many people are stronger than me on these ships in your opinion."
It's really not much, after all, this is the first version of the game, and level 22 is almost the forefront of ordinary forces.
The repeater glanced at the forum and found that of the eight pirate ships, only three were captained to level 27, and the rest were between level 18 and 23.
The ranks of other seafarers, sailors, and warriors on board are basically 10 to 20 grades.
The templates are mostly white-blue, and the tallest is a humble cook, which is a purple template.
If these people were to be put on land to fight the Golden Gradation, it would basically be just a matter of lining up and beheading.
But this is at sea, and no matter how strong the opponent is, it is impossible to resist the artillery fire of other ships.
Players agree that this NPC has little chance of winning.
Chen Zhou nodded and continued to inquire: "Then you can help me ask, which ships are the civilians of Fanhua Harbor captured by the pirates?" β
Although it was not known what the other party was planning, the repeater still said where the prisoner was.
Chen Zhou thought about it, he still had 4 Mythical Powers left (the weapon he took from the player's hand in the morning broke the city before he had time to enchant it overnight), and he could recover all the times (7 times) in the early morning.
Of the 8 ships, 3 were carrying prisoners and 5 were armed.
All he had to do was sink five of them...... This is within the scope of competence.
"I have one last question, can you Star Folk die back to Flower Harbor?"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the repeater immediately brushed up his favorites: "Yes, but you don't have to worry, the Star People will definitely protect you until the last moment!" β
"Alright, you can help me stop the pirates who are watching."
"Huh? Tower defense mission? β
Tonight is destined for a typhoon to pass through.
I feel that the plot is pushed a little slowly, and it should be accelerated.
