The life on the ship is dull and boring, and neither Margarita nor Xie Yuan has any intention of having fun - here are full of depressed sailors, and there is no need to perform free sex for others.
In fact, except for Xie Yuan, Margarita and Geralt had already stayed in their cabins to change and go to bed early.
Only Xie Yuan likes to lean on the edge of the boat and watch the gray water spray go away, quietly recuperating.
At this time, the moon was rising, and Xie Yuan was practicing Qigong with concentration in a slightly standing posture. It was both the monthly practice of the Ape Strike Technique and the sub-hour practice of the Ziwu Jing Kung Fu.
[In view of the general environment,
In addition to whispering or watching from a distance, the other sailors were either busy with their own things... on duty or sleeping, and ignored Xie Yuan who was acting strangely.
One reason is that Xie Yuan gave the captain a very generous reward... but the more intuitive reason is that in the recent warlock escape incident, Xie Yuan used a "whirlwind sword technique" to defeat the incoming attack by one person The witch hunters and pursuers were cut into more than a dozen white bones, and their flesh and blood even spread a thick layer of pulp on the ground!
The situation at that time frightened Triss, Gerald, and even Sigiluven who came to help. The latter even couldn't bear it and vomited directly.
Of course, this also made the separation between Triss and Geralt that day seem a bit...well...hurried. After all, no matter how affectionate you are, saying goodbye amidst the thick smell of blood, fishy and putrid smells, all emotions will be greatly reduced.
After Dijkstra said something hastily to Geralt that day, he quickly turned his head and covered his nose and left... I guess he will have to eat vegetarian food for a few days, hahaha.
Geralt angrily accused Xie Yuan of killing people in such a brutal way - this might trigger a backlash from witch hunters and temple guards.
As for the matter itself, the demon hunter made no comment - after all, this was the scene of a conflict, and the pursuers were meant to be killed. Otherwise, would he expect them to let him go? Geralt was just worried about the negative consequences.
After feeling that Xili's father was not a holy bitch obsessed with kindness and kindness, Xie Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise the next relationship would be quite troublesome.
What is unpredictable is that Novigrad did not say anything about this tragedy. No one came out to ask about the follow-up. However, people from the four giants quickly cleared the scene, and the impact of this incident was so small. That’s it!
Come to think of it, the old saying, "A violent person is afraid of being stunned, and a stunned person is afraid of losing his life" does make sense. With Dijkstra as a witness, no high-ranking person would dare to offend a strong person with no obvious weaknesses. of.
As for Margarita and Philippa? These two people didn't care even more. In their opinion, it was not a pity for all of these people who had done so much harm to their warlocks to die.
As for the killing methods that were too cruel? Believe it or not, these warlocks with spare hands can even be more cruel than Xie Yuan!
However, what Xie Yuan did and the consequences were suppressed, but the evil reputation slowly spread - after all, the incident took place at the dock, and many boatmen and sailors saw the scene.
"The Bone Butcher of Novigrad" is a nickname given to people throughout the city of Novigrad who cut more than a dozen people alive into bones.
Maybe one day, this nickname will develop into an urban legend used to put children to sleep: "If you don't stay at home, be careful if you go out, you will be cut up by the butcher and sold as meat!"
But now, after being reminded by a thoughtful person, the sailors discovered that the rumored "Bone Butcher" was here, which immediately caused a sensation.
In theory, everyone should despise or dislike Xie Yuan, a murderer with cruel methods, but in fact... Xie Yuan is really popular.
Of course, being able to pay the freight for half a ship is a very important reason, but another reason is very obvious: sailors believed that a powerful warrior on board could protect them and sail smoothly to their destination.
In a sense, Xie Yuan did the latter - just
Just after finishing the night's exercise, Xie Yuan noticed on his personal radar that there was a signal point in the distance that had been following them loomingly.
At this distance... Xie Yuan knew without even thinking that pirates were eyeing their ship. Nowadays, the weather is calm, and their ship is traveling in the direction of the wind. Moreover, the ship is fully loaded with goods and people. In terms of speed, it is far inferior to the empty pirate ship. The distance between the two ships can easily catch up.
It was midnight now. If the pirates were more patient, they might be able to make a sudden attack when the cargo ship was in a state of fatigue when it was almost early in the morning and achieve an unexpected effect.
Unfortunately, they don't have this chance now.
Xie Yuan immediately found Captain Kimberly, who was still in a drunken state, and told him what he had discovered - it is said that this bastard likes to get drunk on ocean voyages.
Fortunately, the captain had been sailing for several hours. Although he was still drunk, he had sobered up a lot and was still rational.
Xie Yuan had no idea of showing the universal tool in his hand to anyone, so he just used the excuse of having the ability to have premonitions to cover it up.
The captain was a little surprised, but then he understood. It seemed to him that a guy who could easily turn people into bones was unreasonable without some magical ability.
But the captain's indifference to the news made Xie Yuan frown a little. He just took a few steps to call the first mate in, whispered a few words, and then came back.
Looking at Xie Yuan, he said with somewhat blurry eyes: "Your Excellency, you go to rest first, and when the shouts sound, then come out to respond to the enemy - you and the demon hunter with two swords should be basically We can resist for a while, which is enough for us to rush to the port."
"You...don't you try to ambush?" Xie Yuan didn't understand, "Or fight back to rob the goods on the opposite ship?"
"Haha, it turns out that you are also someone who has worked at sea... but it's a pity that this is not another sea area." The captain patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and said regretfully, "The one who comes to rob me at this time is probably the Skellige Islands. The locals, except for the boat, they only have people... It will be good if they repel the pirates. Unless they can catch them all in one go, if there is too much killing, there may be some local guys who are related to each other and cause trouble - the ports of the Quit family are basically It’s the only big port that accepts foreign merchant ships, and I don’t want to lose it just like that.”
Only then did Xie Yuan understand that the islanders of the Skellige Islands had hobbies similar to those of the Vikings and frequently went out to sea to plunder!
Well, if it is indeed a pirate group composed of locals, it will be a bit troublesome to deal with it, and you have to be careful in how to repel it - maybe killing a person who is difficult to deal with will lead to bad consequences.
Unless...unless the ship and all the people are blown up directly...?
This is indeed a difficult choice, and since the captain doesn't care, Xie Yuan can't interfere.
It was just necessary to report the news to his companions. Xie Yuan came to Geralt's cabin and knocked on the door easily. He only heard a short and slight muffled sound, then there was the sound of an object being lifted, and then he heard Geralt's voice. A voice asked outside the door: "What's wrong? Who is it?"
"Me." Xie Yuan answered simply.
The door opened with a bang, revealing Geralt, who was naked from the waist up and holding a steel sword in his hand. At this time, Geralt looked sleepy and had an unhappy expression at the same time - no one who was sleeping well was suddenly caught. He was also dissatisfied with being woken up... So as long as there was no actual movement, he would not wake Margarita up - after all, he would have to go to her bed often in the future, so he wouldn't offend her too much.
Geralt was very upset, but he was not ready to have an attack immediately... Of course, he also wanted to make sure it was something important: "What happened?"
If Geralt hadn't been a male swordsman with superb swordsmanship, Xie Yuan wouldn't have wanted to disturb his new friend's sweet dream, but he was really needed next: "A few dozen nautical miles away, there was a pirate ship following us. We expect to make contact with our current ship in the early morning, so pay attention to the sounds outside the cabin."
"Pirates?!" Hearing that pirates appeared, Geralt finally regained his serious look, "Are you sure?"
「
On my radar. Xie Yuan raised his hand, and the orange holographic light of the universal tool suddenly flashed.
Geralt was almost blinded by the light, but soon discovered that it was a very soft light, so he looked up and found that, indeed, centered on them, there was a point in the distance that was shining continuously. .
"Make sure you rest with meditation." Xie Yuan warned, "I will come to you as soon as I hear the situation, but when the conflict breaks out, don't go too far away from the cabin to fight on the waves. Don't forget that we still have ladies here. "
"I know, and so do you." Geralt also knew what to do.
After the two separated, Xie Yuan returned to his cabin, crossed his legs and thought for a while, then pulled out an iron box and an M72 66mm rocket launcher from his "pocket".
The rocket launcher was put aside first, and Xie Yuan first put the iron box on the bed and opened it. Inside was a well-preserved short-tip Qing bow that was clamped with a counterweight.
If I have space, I like to collect some cold weapons, which can be used by myself or given to others - no, I didn't expect that I would use them today.
Xie Yuan picked up the bow string and began to slowly string the Qing Bow... No matter what, he had to shoot a few arrows for fun today.
