Person?
Will there be people on this island?
Chen Daolin was a little surprised.
It won't be ...... That Dewey, right?
It is said that the first Duke Tulip took his family to live in seclusion...... Is it hiding on this island?
Thinking of this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited.
But then, there was a rustling sound in the woods, and the sound of branches breaking, and it was clear that someone was chopping the branches all the way with a knife to open the way here. Vaguely, I also heard what seemed to be someone talking and scolding......
Chen Daolin's heart immediately moved: No!!
Because the sound of footsteps is getting closer and closer, you can hear from the sound that there are a lot of people on the other side!
Barossa had already looked at Chen Daolin and cast an inquiring look, meaning to ask Chen Daolin if he wanted to release the arrow.
Chen Daolin hesitated and shook his head, but pulled the girls behind him.
Finally, a figure appeared in the forest, and after pushing aside the bushes, a few figures came out first, which immediately surprised Chen Daolin!
A few men in tattered clothes, waving swords in their hands, ran out to chop tree branches, laughing and laughing as they ran: "Here it is! The water source is really here!!"
With this shout, there was a roar of cheering in the woods.
A few men ran out of the woods at the head, and when they saw Chen Daolin and his party next to the waterhole, they were immediately stunned!
The few people in front saw Chen Daolin and saw Barossa, especially after seeing Barossa, their expressions changed suddenly, their faces were frightened, and their feet suddenly stopped.
As soon as the people in front stopped, the people who rushed up behind them suddenly crashed into them, and for a while, there were at least seventeen or eighteen people who stumbled out of the woods!
At first, there were people in the back who scolded and shouted: "What are you doing in front of you!"
But as I saw the situation by the waterhole clearly, all of a sudden, everyone fell silent!
And the shock in Chen Daolin's heart does not have to be light at all!
He looked at this group of people dumbfounded, he really didn't expect to meet these guys in such a place!
Most of these people were dressed in tattered and dirty clothes, their skin was dark and rough, and each of them had swords and axes in their hands, and they looked dirty, but their eyes were full of fierce gaze.
These guys are pirates!
It's the one-eyed pirates!!
These guys are clearly trapped in the sea on the broken ship with a broken mast! How could they be on this island?!!
At this moment, the pirates also retreated in horror, and in the crowd, One-Eye had already walked to the front!
This guy looks pretty good, although his clothes are covered with blood, but there is a fierce gaze like a wolf in the single eye on his face!
stared at Chen Daolin's group, especially ...... Chen Daolin!
Chen Daolin is dressed in a robe, which is clearly the dress of a magician!!
At such an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the two sides just stared at each other, big eyes and small eyes, you look at me, I look at you, no one expected to meet each other in this place!
It's clearly a group of people who have a deep hatred, but for a while, they actually forgot to do it, and they just looked at it dumbfounded!
Chen Daolin was nervous in his heart!
In addition, he, a magician who has no magic, as well as Rodelle and Xia Xia, don't need to calculate combat power at all.
As for the pirate sailors...... If they don't turn against each other, that's a miracle!
In this way, relying on Barossa alone, if you want to deal with such a large group of pirates and protect a few people on your own side, there is no way to do it!
Elf Girl is not the kind of werewolf Chuck who is good at head-on hard fighting.
But when we meet on a narrow road, there is no other choice!
Just when Chen Daolin was about to shout loudly to order Barossa to do it......
"Wait, wait, don't do !!"
The one-eyed man suddenly ran out of the crowd, stood in front of his men, raised his hands, and shouted, "Stand back!!!
He, the leader, shouted again and again, and the pirates really cowered and retreated.
One-eyed raised his hands and took two steps towards Chen Daolin's side, breaking away from the crowd and exposing himself to Barossa's bow and arrows, he shouted with all his might, "The ...... on the other side Your Excellency the Magician, please don't do anything, please allow me to say a few words!!"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin's heart moved.
One-eyed's face was a little ugly, he took a deep breath, then unsheathed his waist knife, threw it on the ground, took the initiative to kick it away, and then raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Excellency, I have no hostility, and I will never dare to be your enemy again! I have been punished for the things of the sea, it is my ignorance and stupidity that has offended the majesty of the magician! You have given us a heavy punishment, and we have received a punishment!" Now that we can't afford to escape with our lives, we can survive here, and please give us a little mercy and be merciful enough to bypass us!!"
As he spoke, the pirate leader slowly knelt down and nodded in the direction of Chen Daolin.
"Darling?"
Barossa glanced sideways at Chen Daolin, with an inquiring look in her eyes.
The thoughts in Chen Daolin's heart quickly turned, and he immediately figured out the cause and effect!
Obviously, these pirates are really scared of themselves!
The pirates don't know magic, so they don't even know that this island is a forbidden place, and they don't know that their magicians have lost their magic on this island!
The battle at sea may not really convince these pirates or scare them!
But don't forget, it's not at sea right now!
Now on land!
At sea, these pirates had big ships and artillery, so they dared to provoke the magicians! But now on land, they have no advantage at all.
And on the contrary, on this small island, on land, if you go against the magician, you will definitely find death!
Magicians come and go freely, and they are like ghosts, and it will never be too difficult to kill all the pirates in this woods!
At sea, the pirates have artillery, and that is "we can hit you, but you can't hit us".
But in the woods on land, it's all the other way around! ”
One-eyed estimated in his heart that the magician in front of him could easily fly away, widen the distance, and then in this wood, he completely killed his group like a cat catching a mouse!
Chen Daolin communicated this verse, and his heart settled down a little.
Then he suddenly smiled deliberately, his laughter full of mockery and disdain, and he took a slow step forward, and lost his eyes at Barossa, and the elf did not put down his bow and arrow, but only pressed the arrow down slightly, and no longer pointed at the one-eyed in the distance.
One-Eyed breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"One-eyed?" Chen Daolin pretended to smile calmly: "I didn't expect you to have a great fate, and you can actually run to this place alive." ”
One-eyed stood there, slightly owed, and his tone was very cautious and respectful: "Thanks to God, it seems that I don't want to take away my rotten life for the time being." ”
"So, what do you mean now, do you want to pray to me?" Chen Daolin smiled faintly.
One-eyed raised his head, a hint of wolf-like cruelty flashed in his eyes, and quickly disappeared, and he took a deep breath: "Yes...... Neither is it. ”
"Oh?" Chen Daolin's eyes flickered.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Mage. One-Eye carefully brewed his words: "We have learned a lesson in the battle at sea. I have already paid a heavy price for offending you! Hundreds of deployments around me, and now only these people are left alive! My losses are not unheavy! Moreover, in this battle, I lost my largest warship, and ...... Even if I return to the mainland alive, my one-eyed name will probably not be preserved. ”
He said that he was miserable, and then said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here again, we really don't dare to provoke you again, let alone be your enemy again...... All we ask is that a noble magician like you can spare the remnants of our defeated men, let us live, and let us fend for ourselves. ”
"......" Chen Daolin frowned, and then deliberately looked at the one-eyed: "What if...... Shall I make all of you drop your weapons and tie yourselves up?"
Hearing this, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, he was originally bent over, but at this moment he stood up straight and looked at Chen Daolin - at this moment, this pirate leader actually regained a little bit of the momentum of a sea overlord, although his tone was still very cautious and maintained a little respect, but his words were soft and hard!
"Your Excellency, Venerable Mage. We've already bowed our heads to you, but ...... To make us drop our weapons and bind ourselves before you is like asking us, twenty men, to turn ourselves into lambs to the slaughter...... If we men on the sea, we don't kill people too much, we obey, we are afraid, and we beg for softness, then it is enough, right? If someone must drive us out, the men on the sea have nothing else, and there is still a lot of blood. Rather than die in the nest of lambs to the slaughter, we know that we are no match for you, but we would rather let ourselves die a heroic death!"
Chen Daolin sneered: "In this way, you are unwilling to surrender." ”
"To surrender is to retreat...... But that doesn't mean you have to drop your weapon and bind yourself, right?" One-eyed pondered his tone, and at the same time carefully observed Chen Daolin's face, for fear of angering this "Master Magician", and said slowly: "We have been punished heavily, Master Mage, it is better to show your tolerance and let us live, if we have a chance to survive and return to the mainland, we will definitely praise your benevolence!"
"Well, let's talk about your concession first, what is it?" Chen Daolin was noncommittal.
"We should have taken the people out of the way when we met you here, but we were thirsty, and we needed fresh water, or we would be dead. So...... Naturally, you will enjoy this water source first, and we will only dare to come and get water after your people have taken it. What do you think of the fact that we surrender to you on this island, and will not dare to offend you in the slightest, and after we have taken fresh water, we will leave far away?"
Chen Daolin didn't speak, and stood there, as if hesitating.
After a while, he looked at One-Eye, "Why should I promise you? You have offended me so much before, and I can kill you all now with just one hand." Why should I let you go, why should I show my kindness? One-eyed, you give me a reason to say the past?"
Stunned for a moment, he looked at Chen Daolin, and then took a deep breath......
This and the pirate leader's eyes hesitated, and finally, a trace of determination flashed!
He slowly reached into his arms, felt out something, wrapped it in a cloth, and then threw it at Chen Daolin from a distance, and threw it at Chen Daolin's feet.
Chen Daolin coughed, and the little maid Xia Xia stepped forward and bent down to pick it up.
When I opened the cloth bag, there was a gold badge with a peculiar pattern on it, apparently specially made.
"It's a special badge. One-eyed smiled bitterly and said, "The continuation of my life is on this!" Those who hold this badge can withdraw the property I have deposited there as long as they go to any of the nine major trading houses of the Roland Empire and show this badge...... I know that for a magician, this money may not be in your eyes, and I dare not use this money to atone for my previous offense against you, but I just want to use this money to show my fear and surrender!"
Chen Daolin smiled.
He motioned to the little maid Xia Xia to put away the badge.
Then, he reached out and pressed Barossa's hand, causing the elf girl to put away her bow and arrows.
"Okay. Chen Daolin smiled faintly, looked at One-Eye, and his tone was still very arrogant: "Any sin must be punished, but I believe that you have paid enough to atone for your sins, Mr. One-Eyed." I accept your conditions. ”
After a pause, Chen Daolin pointed to the waterhole and said with a faint smile: "My people have already taken water, you need to drink water, you don't have to wait any longer, just take care of yourself." ”
One-Eye breathed a sigh of relief and walked back, and then sent a few of his men to carry a number of water bags, and carefully went to the waterhole to fetch water.
During the whole process, Chen Daolin was watching from the sidelines, he didn't say to leave, and the girls around him didn't speak.
And the most embarrassing thing was the four pirate sailors under Chen Daolin, these people were originally one-eyed's subordinates, but when they saw one-eyed at the moment, they seemed to be a little at a loss.
But this one-eyed guy is really a character, from beginning to end, he looks as if he didn't see these four of his former subordinates at all, and he didn't even glance at them out of the corner of his eye, as if these four people were transparent!
After honestly taking the water, One-Eyed was about to retreat into the forest with the people, when Chen Daolin suddenly spoke.
"Captain One-Eyed. ”
"Your Excellency, do you have any other instructions?" One-Eye immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at Chen Daolin vigilantly. (To be continued)
