The roaring sea breeze was still roaring close at hand, giving Duan Qing and others an unreal feeling as if they were separated by a protective film. He and the other members of the Qingling Adventure Group were lying on the bridge outside the tower. At this time, their respective eyes fell on the only remaining section of the Bridge of Freedom, between the violent wind and rain that was almost within reach - before walking out of the high tower, Duan Qing originally thought that Molnar was talking about The guests referred to at this time were Ningyu Ninglan, Zhaori Dongsheng and others who had been staying under the tower. However, he had already followed Molnar's wishes to this place, and now he had discovered the anomaly in the storm.
And this was also the anomaly discovered by Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman before - they had been hesitating downstairs for a long time.
"Well, that should be a boat, right?"
"You think so too? There's nothing wrong with my eyes?"
"A ship actually came to this place? To the center of this deep sea? In such stormy weather?"
"Maybe it's a lost ship. Weren't we also attacked by a large number of sunken shipwrecks on the sea before? The one in front of us may be in the same situation, and there may be no survivors on it now, just like ghosts Like a boat..."
Muttering and discussing these random conjectures, the figures lurking on the side of the bridge just watched quietly as the boat approached their position, and the figures originally gathered together also As a tall and complete mast like a normal ship appeared at the end of the sea, it gradually assumed a posture of alertness and preparation for war. The still howling sea wind and the constantly beating waves have now become embellishments accompanying the ship. The feeling that was almost overturned several times has not really become an obstacle to its slow approach. The voice of Molnar Then, after a period of time, it gradually rose up diagonally, and along with the searchlight, it was projected in the direction where Duan Qing and others were looking: "Hello, guests from afar."
"..."
"It's very commendable for your courage to come to this place in such weather."
It seemed that there was a reply that Duan Qing and the others could not hear. After a moment of silence and waiting, the voice belonging to Molnar sounded again in front of everyone: "I hope the God of the Ocean can bless you on the next journey. Smooth sailing along the way.”
"..."
"This is it."
The voice from the top of the tower hesitated for a moment, accompanied by Molnar's slightly hesitant groan. Noticing this abnormality, several players from the Qingling Adventure Group also raised their heads. They turned their heads and kept moving their gazes back and forth between the tower and the swaying ship: "Although there are already guests here, I will not just ignore your requests."
"Come in." The voice then lost its initial deepness and took on a bit of the warm feeling that Duan Qing was familiar with before: "I hope this short rest can provide enough help to you who have weathered many hardships."
"He, are they coming up too?" The nervous voice belonging to Gedman suddenly rang in Duan Qing's ears. The shield warrior crouching on the far right even started to tremble with the hand holding the shield. : "I, did I hear correctly?"
"They are just like you, they are all warriors who have been tortured by this ocean." Before Duan Qing could say his answer, the voice from Molnar once again sounded in the ears of everyone in the Qingling Adventure Group. : "Out of justice and respect for tenacious life, I will allow them to stay here for refuge."
"It turns out that this place is called a safe haven. It's not without reason." He nodded his head hesitantly, and then the voice belonging to Xueling Huanbing also sounded in everyone's ears: "Anyone who enters the center of this deep sea People will probably be accepted by this safe haven.”
"These people are really lucky." Following Xue Ling Huan Bing's words, he looked into the distance, and Duan Qing's voice became much more serious: "But is it lucky for us? Not necessarily.”
Understanding the hidden meaning in Duan Qing's words at this time, several players who gathered together quietly retreated towards the inside of the broken bridge. The swaying ship gradually approached in the dark storm, and finally merged with this high tower and broken bridge. The intertwined black shadows of the bridge gradually merged together. The mast struggling in the strong wind lost its original scream as the barrier was crossed, and the entire ship moored by the broken bridge seemed to calm down. Several of them looked ragged and had been soaked in the rain. The sailors who had become drowned rats then appeared on the edge of the broken bridge, and emerged from the dividing line beside the bridge with their own struggles and gasps: "Hoo, ho, ho, ho... It's still as difficult to climb as ever. "
"Since we have to pass through this place frequently, we should repair it. At least these broken bridges should be transformed into a harbor, with docks and access channels. This will be more convenient."
"Nonsense, isn't this something everyone understands? It's not like we haven't made such a request before - ah, no, it's a suggestion, but they don't allow it! It's said that 'a bridge is a bridge and cannot be used for other purposes' some type of……"
"I don't know why that adult is so insistent. They have accepted us so many times. Haven't they given us enough trust yet... huh?"
As if they had just discovered this abnormality, the sailors who had just climbed up the broken bridge focused their attention on the several players near the depths of the broken bridge. The joy and ease of surviving the disaster suddenly turned into He was nervous and alert, and his hands, which were calloused from suffering, were raised forward like fists: "Who? Who are you?"
"We are also guests here, travelers who were almost destroyed by the storm before." Duan Qing, who raised his arms in a harmless manner, took the lead to walk out of the crowd and put a smile on his face: "Please don't Misunderstanding, we just arrived a little earlier than you."
"Are you sailors too?" The sailors, still in a fighting stance, kept their distance and kept wandering back and forth around Duan Qing and others with ferocious eyes: "You don't look alike at all, with this outfit and appearance, It's more like those adventurers on the mainland..."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Duan Qing interrupted the other party with a tone that you understand, and Duan Qing clapped his hands and praised the other party: "He is indeed a pirate who bravely ventures into the deep sea. His knowledge and wisdom are different from others. Woolen cloth."
"Say, what are you talking about!"
As if being stung by Duan Qing's words just now, several sailors immediately jumped up and shouted: "You, you, you, you, who are you calling a pirate? We are not pirates!"
"Don't pretend to be stupid. Even if you don't hang the flag on the ship, your attire and the tattoos carved on your arms speak for themselves." He spat to the side, and the giant ax warrior named Asahi Dongsheng took a step forward. He placed his ax on the ground beside his feet: "I have information on the Internet - I have seen many tattoos like this in my past experiences. These are clearly what the notorious pirates on the coast of Liberty City have." ’s sign.”
"A few inexperienced kids know the signs of pirates!" He raised his voice with a look of disdain. Then a sailor at the front held his neck and shouted loudly: "You are still spitting blood here, I see. You are the pirates, right?"
"You've even used your unreasonable skills. I think you're inseparable." He smiled evilly and took two steps forward. Chao Ri Dongsheng twisted his wrist vigorously: "Come on, come on, since everyone can see If you don’t like each other, let your fists do the talking.”
"No need to struggle."
Before the sweat-wiped sailors could launch their own counterattack against the rising sun, a burly figure walked down the bridge and appeared in front of Duan Qing and others: "Pirates are pirates, even if we are already several If we don’t do this kind of business in 2018, our identity will not change.”
"Old, boss."
The sailors turned their heads when they heard the sound, and then suddenly separated to the left and right with respectful words. It seemed that the burly man who had just climbed up the broken bridge also waved to the left and right. The broken arm with a metal hook on it signaled his subordinates to retreat in the direction behind him: "I am their boss and the captain of this pirate ship 'Steel'."
"The name is Tielin." The cloak soaked in sea water and rain kept beating behind him, and he revealed his strong figure wrapped in black fur clothes in front of Duan Qing: "If you have heard of it, .”
"Is it the Iron Forest in the Twelve Thrones of the Free City?" In the scene that suddenly became quiet, Duan Qing's polite laughter first sounded in everyone's ears: "I really didn't expect that we could actually See your majesty in this place."
"Hmph, it seems you have heard of my name." The disdain in his eyes became more obvious, and the intimidating pressure on the burly man who called himself Tielin slowly rose: "I don't know you. At that time, I acted like I was not afraid of anyone, but after I understood my identity, I began to regret and be afraid... You adventurers are the same wherever you go, you don't know the heights of the world, but you still bully the weak and fear the strong."
"This is what you pirates often do." The expression on his face gradually turned fierce. Asahi Dongsheng walked out of the team and blocked the frowning Duan Qing behind him: "Don't think I don't know you You guys who live by robbery all day long, aren’t you also a group of cowards who follow the wind and hide in the depths of the sea and run around?”
"You will regret these words of yours."
As if a storm had descended on this safe haven, Tielin's stubble-covered face was also obscured by the rising wind around him: "Come out, like a man, let's see who is the right one." coward."
"Bah." He spat to the side, and then Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand behind him confidently: "It's not like I haven't seen the abilities of other thrones in the City of Freedom. At best, they are That’s what happened.”
"Let me prove to you the useless value of this group of guys running outside."
He looked up and down at the Iron Hook captain who was slowly walking towards him, reached out and picked up the comet ax at his feet, and then gave a loud shout as Duan Qing and others hurriedly backed away behind him. The power condensed on his wrist suddenly burst out: "Charge a heavy blow!"
"Comet Strike!"
What seemed like a contemptuous and arrogant attitude was actually the strongest attack. Countless huge forces that also shook the ground quickly gathered in the two consecutive shouts of Chaori Dongsheng. Finally, the comet ax flew out of his hand and flew in the direction of Tielin in front of him. The burly figure wrapped in the violent storm of energy then let out a heavy cold snort. Facing the comet-like impact, Tielin's slow forward steps paused slightly for a moment, and was hit by the huge The iron hook wrapped in power then suddenly lifted up during his stride, and with majestic momentum, it collided head-on with the rolling giant ax: "In front of the endless waves, the comet is not worth mentioning at all. !”
"Get back here!"
The harsh metal collision became the last sound of this disdainful shout, and together with the scene of the giant ax being hit by the iron hook, it suddenly flew into the sky, and a huge thing appeared on the ground on the side of the broken bridge. The shaking and cracking, together with Asahi Dongsheng's forward thrust after a heavy stomp, were sent to Tielin: "The power of the ghost king!"
"good!"
There was no surprise in his unexpected eyes. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Tielin suddenly lowered the upward hook: "There is actually a second one, but -"
"My waves are endless too!"
The elbow connected to the iron hook and Asahi Dongsheng's punch collided in the air, making an unbearable trembling sound, and the ground around the intersection collapsed heavily. Tielin, who was grinning, then pushed himself The elbow strike was pressed down, and the pirates around him who were avoiding him were blasted away together with Asahi Dongsheng in front: "Who is the coward now?"
"Um?"
In this cold snort that seemed to break through the sky, the giant shield belonging to Goldman appeared immediately behind Asahi Dongsheng, who flew back like a cannonball, and the chaotic wind that had not dissipated also followed the shield. The soldier's whole body made a crackling sound like wind and rain, but his strength to withstand this "human cannonball" became more and more stable. An arm-raising movement from Duan Qing also appeared immediately after Tielin's heavy cold snort. Along with it, there was a breeze that suddenly appeared deep behind the broken bridge. Xue Ling, who had already raised his spear, Huan Bing then turned his head and retracted his gaze from the two figures who were wrapped in the breeze and landed safely: "I'm sorry, but there may be some misunderstandings between us."
"For the sake of our fellow Freedom City forces, can we stop for now, pirates?"
