Alerted, Byron was about to duck and fly back.
The figure opposite the child, who was as short as he was but extremely nimble in his movements, had already reached him in front of him like lightning.
Although the aye-aye was very surprised that the target reacted so quickly, surprise attacks were his specialty.
Just when Byron instinctively drew his sword, he suddenly shook his hand and very insidiously threw out a bag of... lime powder.
In order to complete the mission, the assassin's fighting style is to use all possible means.
call out!
Seize the opportunity and use [Elbow Swordsmanship] to get close instantly with the jab step.
A sharp dagger jumped out of the palm and suddenly slashed towards Byron's chest!
However, this time, there was no strong Category 7 wind as a boost like when Byron used chili noodles to sneak attack the Navy captain.
Byron had enough time to react and closed his eyes in time.
At this critical moment, the [Spiritual Aura] suddenly exploded and turned into a third eye with a wider field of vision than the naked eye.
Looking for the direction in the sixth sense, he used the [Rooftop Sword Style] to swing out a wind-like spinning slash.
But it's an attack-against-attack approach that hurts both sides!
All swordsmanship concepts follow four basic principles: judgment, distance, time, and position.
Among the hands, trunk, feet, and footwork based on the "time" principle, the time of the hands is the fastest and the time of the footwork is the slowest.
The so-called "grabbing position" means that you only need to move your wrist to launch an attack quickly.
This is the combat concept of [Storm Swordsmanship].
All stances and sword moves are centered around how to shorten "time" and seize "position".
Relying on the absolute speed of attack, the kill was completed before the opponent could react!
The aye-aye's [Elbow Sword Technique] is obviously also a leader in seizing time. It only uses its front elbow to make moves, maximizing the "time" of its hands.
In addition, I am extremely talented. After my spiritual awakening, I have never encountered anyone of my kind who can swing a sword faster than him.
However, the lethality of a dagger cannot be compared to that of a half-handed sword.
Byron dared to risk his injury to let the aye-aye cut him with a knife, but the aye-aye never dared to take Byron's sword forcefully.
He suddenly dwarfed like a spring and rushed behind Byron.
At the same time, the dagger danced at his fingertips and turned into a sharp silver snake, grazing Byron's chest and slashing hard.
Stab-!
Blood suddenly appeared.
When the lime powder dispersed, the aye-aye had already scurried to the other end of the alley like a dexterous monkey.
He casually wiped away a trace of blood left by the sword on his cheek.
He solemnly wiped the red liquid off the dagger with a piece of white cloth and stuffed it into his pocket.
He turned back to Byron and made a throat-cutting gesture, smiled triumphantly, and ducked into another dark alley.
"Mr. Byron, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Eight Fingers, who was stunned in place, only reacted at this moment. He saw a large pool of red liquid on the ground and rushed to Byron's side to check his injuries.
But he saw Byron unbuttoning his blood-red clothes as if nothing had happened and taking out a shriveled wine bag from inside.
A long and narrow cut mark on it is shocking.
However, his own skin and other materials purchased today were all unscathed.
"It's not blood, this is... wine?!"
Only then did Ba Zhi, who was confused with concern, realize that although a large pool of blood-red liquid on the ground looked like blood, it clearly had the pungent smell of strong alcohol.
It was not Byron's own blood, but the bottle of Bacardi rum in the wineskin.
It is also the so-called [Battle Blood] mixed with [Transmutation Blood] and Salman's blood to cultivate secondary ghouls.
At this time, Byron's focus was not on the wine bag.
Even after wiping off the lime powder on his face, he was still a little frightened by the assassination just now.
“It was too fast, my front foot had just entered Iron Anchor Bay, and someone stabbed me on my back foot.
There must be a [Prophet], or an extraordinary person with similar abilities nearby, who locked my position at a close enough distance.
If the [Navigation Log] hadn't been reminded in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The assassin who took action this time was just a mortal. If a transcendent comes next time, I'm afraid my blood will really be splattered on the spot. "
If seeing the wanted poster only gave him a sense of urgency, he made up his mind to start planning the blood fighting ceremony.
After encountering the assassin, he didn't want to wait another day and was ready to attack Salman tonight!
It's nothing more than trying to find a way to steal another bottle of [Battle Blood].
Now First Mate Miles and dozens of others drink it every day, so a few missing bottles would not be noticed at all.
Even if you rush to plan a second-level transcendent, you may take some unnecessary risks, and you have to fight for it.
"etc!"
But when he re-checked the records in the [Navigation Log], he unexpectedly made a new discovery.
"Mission: Find the target through directional black magic and take away his hair or blood.
For the killer to use some extraordinary means to kill the target. "
Limited by his own spiritual level, he could not read the information of [Magic Mirror] West, a second-level transcendent.
But it is enough to deduce the cause and effect of the matter.
Just like the characterization and investigation intensity of disappearance cases and homicide cases are completely different, if someone kills someone on the street, the law enforcement team will kill them immediately.
But no one would take a second look at a fight that didn't involve fatalities, or even a "missing case" without a body.
As for whether a certain pirate will die unknowingly in a deserted alley or in the bed of a laughing woman one day in the future, no one cares.
You can achieve your goals without getting burned.
It shows that they are by no means the dead soldiers raised by the York family. They can do whatever it takes to complete the task, even sacrificing themselves.
More like a murder expert who truly knows how to use the rules!
but.
There is a but that must be said here.
"The blood taken by the assassin belonged to...Salman."
Then Byron's eyes couldn't help but fixate on the second entry at the end of the [Logbook], [Sorrowful Troubles].
Special Effects: Lancaster, no one else...
He stood in a daze for a while, then slowly uttered two words:
"excellent!"
"Mr. Captain, listen to me, thank you.
As your 'confidant', I really feel...a sense of security. "
...
The large dry dock business at Anchor Bay is very professional.
As long as you have money, you can buy not only sites, materials, and shipwrights, but also sophisticated weapons specially provided by the Kingdom's navy.
By the time Byron and Eight Fingers came back with their harvest to reunite, the scarred [Man-eating Shark] had been towed into the dock and was being pumped with artificial water pumps.
Old Hans and the non-combatants in the small group were all packed into the dock by Captain Salman.
Some act as overseers, while others serve as free labor.
After Byron delivered the gold pounds and deposit certificates to the first mate, he immediately called them together.
"What? Re-formulate the maintenance plan and modify a ship with the fastest speed in the North Sea?!"
Byron's words immediately excited them.
Especially old Hans, a professional shipbuilder with superb skills, and little Hans, who received his true biography, were even more excited when they thought of the success of raising the sail.
Watching with eager eyes, he unfolded a brand new design and placed it on the table.
——Brigantine type hybrid sailboat (suitable for small ships below 200 tons, three-masted version).
In fact, this decision was completely impromptu by Byron.
After getting the new entry [Confidential Trouble] and accidentally verifying the effect, he also changed his original plan.
It was decided to come up with the renovation plan in advance and give it to Salman free of charge.
In order to get closer to the role of "confidant" in the eyes of others.
“You should study the design drawings first and understand them as quickly as possible.
I went to the hotel to find Mr. Captain. As long as he nodded, the construction could start immediately. "
After handing the design drawings and key points of transformation to Old Hans, Byron stood up to find Salman [Blood Eyes] while all the crew looked at the saint.
Such a good thing that could potentially build a powerful pirate group was given to the captain for free?
Isn't he the reincarnation of an angel?
The radiance on his body almost condensed into a shining halo above his head.
“How can the cruel and violent Salman Hod be able to make such a person treat him sincerely?
Even a die-hard confidant cannot be as good as Mr. Byron. "
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Although these sailors wandering on the sea will never become such people, it does not prevent them from admiring such people.
Especially when you are a companion, it is so reassuring to give your back to him!
