Chapter 7: Take Away
At the same time, twenty rope ladders were thrown onto the ship. There are also dozens of bombs with magic drills attached. Rick wrapped the bomb in a parapet to prevent the explosion from hurting the ship. Seren turned around in place, the holy sword drew a circle, and the golden arc of light flew out, and all the ropes and ladders were cut by him in one go.
There are also mages on the enemy ships, and there are quite a few of them, and they have never seen the spells they use. It's like a dark shadow that looks like some kind of silhouette wallpaper, but it will writhe and move around, and it will burrow into the shadows of others to hide its figure, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his shadow writhing, and immediately crouched down and plunged the sacrificial knife into his shadow. When he pulled it out, there was a black figure struggling with a blade stuck in the blade, and Syk threw him into the sea, as if he saw him regain his three-dimensional appearance in the sea.
Seren was also in danger, and a lot of tablecloths that seemed to be walking were closing in on him, and the slashed places would be restored immediately. He had to move the boxes over and hold them down.
Some fireballs that roll from the outside to the inside roll instead of flying, exploding when they hit something. Those fireballs will chase people, and Serian will lead those fireballs to burn the tablecloth.
Rick heard a long scream, and their fisherman was handcuffed by winged hands and flew into the air to catch the enemy ship. Before Rick could react, three people were captured. Those handcuffs are so agile that spells can't hit.
Carrying people will move a little slower, and Rick wants to break the handcuffs, but he is worried that he will miss the target, and he is also worried that if he breaks the fisherman, he will fall into the sea. While he hesitated, another man was taken away.
If this continues, all of them will be arrested.
"Stop!" the sudden shout was not standard for the Ataro. Rick didn't understand the language, but he knew what it meant. He saw the shipowner, Lophis, rushing to the main deck wearing an ankle-high cloak.
The cloak is quite gorgeous, the moire embroidery from the bottom, the wings that go up a little more, and the sun and moon totems on both shoulders, are the craftsmanship of Norcast. There is also a sign of Norcastven on it. This seems to be a uniform accessory somewhere.
"Lord Lofes, please replyβ" Before Captain Felena could finish speaking, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, so loud that everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks, and the battle on the ship suddenly stopped.
The enemy ship on the left exploded, and there was a huge smoking hole in the hull. Looking at the edge of the hole, it looks like something incredibly sharp has been dug up, but there is a fire caused by high temperatures inside. The ship began to enter the water, tilted and sank. The pirates on board rushed to the lifeboats.
The shipowner, Lophis, stared sharply at the enemy ship on his right, where all the people they had captured were on board. The place where the left index finger of the ship's owner, Lopis, pointed, is where the hole of the enemy ship on the left appears. He spoke in Norcaster's standard language, but in that fierce tone, Rick could guess what it meant, "If you don't want me to sink all your ships, give up the attack!"
The enemy ship on the left sank to the antenna, and the pirates escaped from a number of dinghys.
The captured Murger fishermen lined up on the side of the enemy ship on the right, with sharp blades resting on their necks.
Most of the pirates were dressed in old clothes that had been washed away by the sun and rain. Only one pirate wore a particularly new and bright outfit. The newly-dressed pirate approached the side of the ship, followed by a smaller pirate.
All the pirates, including the Merger, now looked in awe at the man in his new clothes.
The one who wears the new clothes should be the pirate boss. He had an exaggerated square chin, almost like adding another layer of chin iron armor to his original chin. His skin is green and he has long, erect, pointed ears on either side of his head. He was nearly three meters tall, almost two meters wide, and his arms were four times thicker than Seren's. His pair of yellow eyes are widely spaced out, reminiscent of crocodiles. As he spoke, the teeth in his mouth could be seen to be full of carnivore-like sharp fangs.
The language he spoke sounded like "chirp" to Rick, and the thin man next to him helped him translate the words into the standard Ethero language.
"The great captain said, 'You have entered the forbidden zone, and you cannot be let go.' The translator appeared to be of the ethnic group of the countries surrounding Sarafayido. He has fair skin and a straight nose. There are burgundy pupils in the slender eye sockets, with a slight seductive aura. Among the large group of rough and brutal pirates around, he was the only one who stood tall and upright, and when he spoke, he was inappropriate and restrained, and how abrupt he looked.
"If you want to decide the winner by force, you will surely be the one who will be destroyed!" shouted the shipowner, Lofes. Our crew looked at him with horror in their eyes, and they didn't know where he got the confidence to dare to provoke like this. Only the mages knew that the attack when the ship's owner Lofes had just blown up and sunk the ship did not break the opponent's wall at all, but directly "jumped over". His magical prowess was much, much higher than that of Syc, Captain Ferena, and all the current mages. It is not impossible for him to blow up and sink the entire fleet by himself.
"We're going to kill your crew!" the Greenskin Pirate Boss threatens the shipowner, Lofes, with his hostage.
The three fishermen standing on the side of the enemy ship trembled with fear.
"Let them come back, I'll take their place!" Seren's sudden mouth shouted.
"Huh?" Rick looked at Seren in surprise. Looking at his expression, he was serious.
The man next to the pirate boss said a few words to him, and the pirate boss's mouth opened and pouted, making Xi Ke feel not very good. The green-skinned pirate boss laughed and said, "Come here, and those two mages are coming too, those two black-haired mages. γ
As the translator translated this passage, his eyes fluttered and he looked uneasy.
"I'll go over and let them go!" roared the shipowner, Lopis.
"No!" the Greenskin Pirate Boss rejected, "I'm not stupid enough to let the people of the Magical Sacred Capital board my ship. Come up, those three, or I'll kill them!"
"Kill a thousand knives. Before Seren could reply, Syk cursed.
Syk put his sacrificial knife into its scabbard, and stuffed it with his silver box for the shipowner, Lofes, for safekeeping. He yelled at the Greenskin Pirate Boss, "If you dare to touch them, I will curse you if I become a ghost!" He strode towards the enemy ship, grabbing the rope ladder he had lowered and climbing up.
Serian hurried to follow. The holy sword is easy to hide, and it disappears in the palm of the hand as soon as you hold it, so there is no need to entrust it to others. What he stuffed the shipowner, Lofes, was a package of evidence of Ramaha's plan to abscond. Even though it was supposed to be useless, he still thought it was important.
As soon as Rick got on board, the herb bag was taken. Not a single bone was left in his pocket. When Serian came up, the captain let the two fishermen go. He rested his knife on the neck of one of the Zuihou hostages, baring a mouthful of teeth that were close to orange, and smiled at Captain Ferena.
Captain Felena gritted her teeth, slipped her staff and a bunch of amulets into the ship's owner, Lofes, and climbed the rope ladder onto the thief ship. When she came up, the interpreter leaned forward, as if intending to take a step forward and go over to help, but he did not have the courage to act.
All three fishermen were released, and they returned safely aboard the Merger.
The translator translated, "The great captain said that you must follow us back to the island of the Lost with us. We will not release you until we are sure that you have no way to find this place again. He was distracted as he translated, and kept peeking at Captain Ferena.
"Okay. But don't forget, Lophes of the Magical Capital is always watching you. If something happens to them, I will wash your island in blood. The shipowner, Lophis, gritted his teeth as he clutched a pile of things.
Then they were taken into the cabin and locked up.
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
They were locked up in a dark cabin. The light is dim, and you can only see the outline when you look at things. There was a thick smell of rust and lube in the air. Everyone's hands were tied behind their backs. The pirates carefully tied each of their fingers to the fingers of the other, so that they could not compare the casting gestures.
Xi Ke couldn't help but think that if it was the head of the administrative department of the Demon Court, even if his hands were tied, he would definitely be able to cast spells freely without hindrance, but Xi Ke couldn't do it.
The way the boat is shaking has changed, and the ship is speeding up to somewhere.
"You're definitely the one who did it this time. Rick whispered to Seren, on his left.
Serian sat cross-legged and just smiled wryly.
"We're mages, and we're supposed to step up to protect the crew. You were brave and made the right decision. The bait Chang'an Pate said.
Xi Ke turned his head to look at Xiangyou, and he only now realized that the magic bait Chang'an Paat was also there. Speaking of which, the total number of people captured by the flying handcuffs should be four.
"So you're here. Xi Ke said stunned.
The bait Chang'an Patrick smiled unnaturally calm, detached from embarrassment, as if Rick didn't notice his existence, as normal as the socks he didn't know what color he was wearing: "It's easy for me to be ignored, and it's hard to find out that I'm still in trouble. γ
Rick heard the voices of three people outside the door, it sounded like there was some argument, and after a few minutes the argument subsided, the door opened, and the interpreter walked in with heavy steps.
Captain Felena had been silent since she came in, and seemed to have been thinking about things, unresponsive to the other three, and now she looked at the interpreter with wide eyes, and said, "What's going on, weishenme, you're on the pirate ship?"
Og, the translator, shook his head and said, "For the sake of livelihood. After I stopped studying, I had no future in my hometown, and I did this - at least to eat. γ
"Well, you'reβ" Serene said the name of a small island nation, "-people, huh?"
"Yes, you know?" said translator Og's eyes widened in surprise.
Serene said, "I think we broke off diplomatic relations about four years ago. Knights are also in charge of foreign affairs, and we will definitely pay attention to this kind of thing. γ
"How did you break off diplomatic relations?" asked Ricke. In his thinking, the severance of diplomatic relations is a major event, and eighty percent of the people who slaughtered whom, or the national border will not be closed.
Selian blinked a few times and said, "Well, because we are only willing to help them build hospitals and provide agricultural guidance, but another country that is antagonistic to us is willing to help them build airports, railways, and renovate palaces, so they cut off diplomatic relations with us and establish diplomatic relations with that country. γ
Syke was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Is this how diplomatic relations are decided?"
Serens said, "Where there is no war, diplomatic relations are sold at a marked price. By the way, the renovation of the palace is the key. γ
