Rhode Island.
This is a very common island located west of the Kaos Empire.
Of course, this place is slightly different from other islands that George has passed.
The land on the island is flat and wide, with rows of neat and bright houses. Facing the sea breeze, you can smell the fragrance of cooking in farmers' homes miles away. Walking from the harbor to the island, you can see fertile fields on both sides of the road, beautiful ponds, dense forests, and occasionally birds and rabbits peeking out from the forest.
The Central Avenue is spacious and bright, and the field paths are intertwined. Every household can hear the crowing of cocks and dogs. People are coming and going in the fields to cultivate and work. A large amount of sweat slips from the face, soaks the cross on the chest, and falls into the fertile fields. Here, under the sunshine, the light of happiness shines.
This is Rhode Island. As far as the eye can see, it is peaceful. Thanks to the inaction thinking of the forces behind the island and the superb medical skills they mastered, the residents of Rhode Island live a very healthy life.
"Who are you? Pirates are not welcome on this island!"
In order to avoid suspicion, George placed the terrifying-looking White Pearl far away, and only took a dozen of his men as sampans to land on the island first. But even so, less than ten minutes after landing on the island, a group of guards in gray cloaks came to the island. George and others were surrounded, and the cold light on the sword and arrow pointed directly at the leader, George. Not only that, George also sensed that there was another group of guards. They were wearing camouflage cloaks and walking around from the side passage. It looked like they were They want to sneak attack George's remaining personnel and take control of the sampan, cutting off George's retreat.
But this did not make George feel embarrassed, because in addition to being a pirate subordinate on the surface, George also asked Edward to stay on the sampan. Although other deep sea ghosts are not adapted to fighting in direct sunlight, for some reason, the former pirate king Edward is an anomaly who is not afraid of the sun for the first time. With him staying behind, a sneak attack of this level is simply a joke.
"Is Lars here? I want to talk to him alone."
In full view of everyone, George took out the black bow, which had Lars' name engraved on it. George had no reason to believe that the Crusaders would not recognize the owner of the black bow.
That's right, the forces behind Rhodes Island are the Paladins who fought alongside George in the Battle of Scarlet Harbor.
On the way to the Scarlet Harbor, during the brief time spent with these Paladins, George learned about their base camp, which is the existence of Rhode Island, from the daily exchanges of these Paladins. In this way, after much consideration, George finally decided to place the cat-eared girl Natalie and other old pirates who decided to retire here.
Although this place is not a rich and wealthy place compared to the Devil's City we are going to next, it is better because of its beautiful environment and comfortable life. For a cat-eared girl who has been tortured by psychological trauma for a long time, it has a sound growth space. Everything is important, isn't it?
"No need to look for it, I'm right here."
After hearing the news, the guards who originally surrounded George gave way to a path in an orderly manner, and Lars walked through the crowd step by step.
"I remember you. You were the bow-wielding first mate next to Captain Duck, Qiao Qiao. Damn it, didn't I agree with Duck to break up? What tricks did he pull on me this time?"
"Please let me clarify one thing first. I don't represent the pirate Dak, I only represent myself. Lars, let's talk as we go."
Facing George's self-narration, Lars's face was full of surprise. He took advantage of the time he was adjusting his sleeves to make a few very vague gestures to his men, and then led George towards the town.
…
"Really... So that's it. Thank you for your hard work."
The sea breeze jumped through the teahouse window and blew through the strong oak cup. The originally mellow Du Kang was no longer calm, and was set off by ripples.
After listening to George's story, Lars couldn't calm down for a long time. 【…#神书屋#~Free reading】
During the Battle of Bloody Harbor, Lars and his team did not participate in the plundering and killing after landing at Bloody Harbor. They only provided fire support and medical assistance. After confirming that the battle situation had completely turned to their side, these paladins fought against the pirates early. They parted ways and returned to Rhode Island for repairs, so Lars didn't know that George and others were treated as abandoned sons by Captain Dark.
It is true that Lars is a decent man, but George has not let down his guard against him, and it is impossible for him to explain all the bizarre things such as Atlantis and mermaids under the sea. Therefore, there are inevitably many things in George's narrative. There are loopholes in the timeline, but I can feel the gentle and elegant side of George's speech and behavior that is different from the pirates, and the experience that is somewhat similar to myself. He disdains to associate with pirates, but has to associate with pirates. I don't know. Unconsciously, Lars's attitude towards George became much gentler.
"So, these pirates who want to retire, and the girl who survived the bloody harbor, I hope your Rhodes Island can become their destination. This is the room and board fee, please don't dislike it."
"Please allow me to refuse!"
The gold coins in George's snakeskin bag finally stopped in mid-air, and Lars' unexpected rejection made the smile on George's face freeze in place.
After seeing George's half-embarrassed and half-angry expression, Lars calmly spoke out the second half of his article.
"I will not accept money. Expropriating the wealth of good people who want to live and work in peace and contentment is an insult to the honor of our hospital knights. The port of Rhode Island has always been open to homeless people."
The Hospital Knight is actually a Hospital Knight!
George had already heard the name Hospital Knight. It was not that George deliberately inquired about the Crusaders, but that he was serving as the leader of the Reaper mercenary group and traveling to various areas of the Negras Empire in his spare time. In order to kill time and show off his great achievements, Uther His big mouth told George almost all the information about the Crusaders like a treasure, inside and out, in detail several times.
The Hospital Knights are part of the Crusader Legion and the oldest branch of the Paladin branch. Its origin goes far beyond history
Before Emperor Xander established the complete and unified Parada Empire, which was affiliated with the life camp.
As the main force of the human empire who believed in the Illuminati Religion, the Crusaders practiced holy fighting spirit through magic potions. They originally existed only to resist the invasion of the undead and evil creatures. However, at that time, the forces on this land were extremely chaotic and the heroes were fighting. , human beings are intrigued by each other, wars are everywhere, and the threat posed by human beings to their own species is far greater than the damage caused by natural disasters and alien races to human beings.
However, the other side of destruction is birth. Driven by war, the crusaders' genre also bloomed. Depending on the regional sects, lords and generals, there are various factions of the Crusaders. There are martial arts factions who are purely proficient in war skills. There are also paladins who are skilled in life spells and swordsmanship. There are even heavy armors who dual-wield giant shields and specialize in defense skills. Tie. As for the Paladins of the Hospital Knights, they come from all over the world, their origins are humble, and the styles or weapons they use are even more diverse, but they are united because they have the same belief——
Xuan Hu helps the world and takes it as his own duty to save all sentient beings!
Hospital Knights are low-key people, but they often appear on the fiercest battlefields, specializing in helping ordinary people who have been displaced by war. Their efforts are far less than their rewards, but their figures have always appeared in every corner of the plane, and there are always stories about them in the hearsay circulating in the alleys!
"It seems you know a lot, Qiaoqiao. Of course, I can also feel that the name Qiaoqiao is probably not your real name."
Regarding George's "eruditeness", Lars just shrugged and sneered. But in the next second, Lars's aura suddenly changed, and a cold murderous aura approached George, like the north wind in the cold winter. People shudder!
"Please allow me to change the question. Sneak into the human world and pretend to be a pirate. What are you planning?! A vampire, or rather a half-blood!"
quick!
too fast!
The moment the strings sounded, the arrow was already in front of me!
Even with George's dynamic field of vision, he could only capture the afterimage of Lars's hand behind his back under Lars's cloak, bending a bow and shooting an arrow at the wall behind him very quickly and covertly!
By ricocheting, several arrows shot out from behind Lars and bounced off the walls of the room towards George! These arrows not only blocked all of George's escape routes, but also gave George no time to react! The arrowheads of these arrows contain extremely powerful Saint Fighting Qi. Although these arrows are not directly aimed at George's vitals, if they are hit a few more times, even George's current physique will be severely damaged!
However, for George, such an attack is not even a crisis!
In just a moment, George decided how to fight back! I saw him picking up the black bow on the table with his left hand, spreading the five fingers of his right hand, and swinging his arm in the air a few times. With accurate prediction, George's fingers accurately caught the three first shots. Arrow, then, nock the arrow, bend the bow, and then catch the arrow with your hand! As if he had practiced it hundreds of times, George directly
Pick up the arrows in your hand to fight back, use arrows against arrows, and shoot down the following arrows!
"Sure enough, it's Elf Archery! The last time you took action, I was a little concerned. It seems that I didn't make a mistake."
The sudden applause made George a little surprised. Originally he only wanted to use archery to show his strength. Unexpectedly, Lars was still murderous one second, but his face was full of appreciation the next second.
"Should I call you Amazing George, or George Lucifer?"
Damn it, my identity was exposed!
