"Thank you for the fire wine you sent earlier."
After a while, on the outside of the broken bridge, the unique gray-robed figure belonging to Duan Qing appeared next to the captain named Tielin. He touched his nose and did not speak for a long time. He just stood there steadily, and whispered in his ears. But it was the captain in black fur and black robe who was the first to hear the vague words: "Being able to taste such delicious food far away from the mainland is a small blessing."
"That is the personal belongings of our team members, their personal gifts." Pointing to the back of Chaori Dongsheng, who was still fighting with the pirates in front, Duan Qing unconsciously smiled: "As long as the captain I don’t mind if he’s still acting like this.”
"Irrational behavior? This is a normal way of communicating."
The hand holding the wine bottle paused for a moment, and then Tielin burst out laughing: "Although he is very weak, this warrior is a real man. Even now that he is seriously injured by me, he still knows how to use The way men relate to us.”
"Don't worry, the little boys under my hands are quite measured." He suppressed his laughter a little bit, and then turned his eyes again to the boy who had been hugged by the pirates under his hands and fell heavily to the ground. The famous giant ax warrior said: "This is just a normal drill. It often happens on our ocean voyages. Pirates who have experienced many battles will always come up with this kind of wrestling and fist fights at sea when they are bored. Way to pass the time...well."
"Why, are you also interested in participating?" His words paused for a moment, and then he cast his contemptuous eyes on Duan Qing next to him: "You'd better forget it, a weak magician, I'm afraid he can't even take a punch. Come down."
"I didn't mean that." Without the sarcasm in the other party's words during the regular meeting, Duan Qing replied in a calm voice: "I'm just curious about the daily life of pirates, that's all."
"Exchanging life for wealth, licking blood with the blade of a knife, there is nothing to understand." The raised corners of his mouth fell back a little, and Tielin's deep voice returned to the movement of raising the wine bottle: "My steel horn We never accept magicians, those idiots with weak bodies and extremely arrogant hearts cannot withstand the wind and waves of the sea."
"After all, it is the gathering place of elemental storms. No magician dares to live in such a place for a long time." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and looked at the dark storms and waves that were so close but had no effect on them. He replied with a look of helplessness: "But if one is powerful enough, there will always be magicians who are stronger than pirates."
"For example, the one in front of us."
Quietly gesturing in the direction of the tower behind him, Duan Qing also found a bit of a cold feeling in Tielin's eyes: "How much does Captain Tielin know about Mr. Molnar? "
"You want to get information from us again, little guy."
Looking at Duan Qing deeply, there was no hostility in Tielin's voice: "Since I returned to my old business, we have crossed the Bridge of Miracles from this end of the world not many times. With this Mo Mr. Erner's communication is even rarer. He usually just says hello and passes through after getting the other party's permission."
"So the information I can tell you is very limited." A flash of light appeared in Captain Iron Hook's eyes: "If it is possible, I would also like to know how he can generate so many resources. What."
"Why, the nature of being a pirate is causing trouble again?" Duan Qing reminded the other party calmly: "You throne holders of Molnar should also know the reputation, even if he really owns a palace in this corner of the world. I’m afraid you won’t have any chance to snatch this huge treasure house.”
"You don't need to remind me, of course I know this." Raising the wine bottle in his hand again, Tielin replied with disdain: "What's more, my crew members are still receiving his relief, I won't He did something that was against morality."
"Mr. Tielin's integrity is admirable."
Duan Qing bent his waist again and bowed, but a glimmer of light flashed through his covered eyes: "Your presence has changed my previous prejudice against pirates. In my impression, pirates are all They are a bunch of ungrateful bastards who would cruelly abandon even their injured teammates.”
"Most of them are not desperadoes who have been wandering at sea for a long time, but are family generals who followed me back to the deep sea."
A burst of noise suddenly appeared in the group of pirates gathered in front. It seemed that the battle between one of the pirates and Asahi Dongsheng finally decided the winner. Tielin, who frowned, then looked at the man who was shouting. The player's back waved his finger towards another pirate who was eager to die: "Whether it is strength or trust level, we are much stronger than those rogues on the sea."
"Your Excellency and your Excellency's Steel is no longer a pirate ship in the simple sense." He nodded in agreement, but Duan Qing's face next to the other party showed a look of confusion: "But even if it is Such a steel horn was still scarred when it appeared here."
"..."
"Is the danger of the Endless Sea really worthy of its name? Or is there some other reason?"
Sensing the opponent's sudden silence, Duan Qing, who was also watching the new round of competition begin again in front of him, raised his chin in a pretentious manner: "Judging from the competition between Asahi Dongsheng and these people under your command, the captain's The generals are as powerful as every member of our adventure group, but with so many masters, there were still so many wounded in the end——"
"..."
"And I don't think the injuries on their bodies are like those of people who were shipwrecked, but more like sword wounds -"
"No need to guess."
A heavy cold snort appeared in Duan Qing's ears along with the indifferent voice, interrupting each of his deliberately prolonged endings in mid-air: "I know what you want to ask, we are here Before arriving here, I did experience several naval battles.”
"But this is not something you should inquire about." Slowly putting the raised wine bottle into his pocket, Tielin looked at Duan Qing with eyes full of bad feelings: "How do I know you are not their accomplices?"
"It seems that we still need more understanding and trust." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly, and his voice showed a bit of a wry smile: "But this time we are wrong. We are asking about your past. We haven’t fully explained our past before.”
"... Please tell me, I, Tielin, am all ears."
"Well, we have to start talking about it when we first arrived in Freedom City——"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
A scream that pierced the sky suddenly appeared above the broken bridge, suppressing the continuous probing efforts of the pirate group and Duan Qing in front of him. The ear-piercing sound of space tearing and the howling of wild beasts were heard. Then it also appeared on the other side of the bridge where the scream was located, and at the same time, there were black holes in space that were darker than the stormy sky outside. In the scene where the nearby pirates retreated and distanced themselves, it was like the black liquid dripping from a black hole in space gradually gathered and condensed on the sizzling bridge. They gradually formed in the air the heads and heads of various beasts. The limbs were pieced together in a weird shape, and at the same time they made a heart-stopping howling sound: "This, this is..."
"Void Beast!"
Instead of shouting out the name, Duan Qing's loud warning then echoed above the entire space of the broken bridge; "The void has invaded! Get ready to fight!"
"What an unforgettable name." The pirates around were still stunned, but the figure belonging to Asahi Dongsheng who picked up the giant ax had already rushed out of the crowd: "I couldn't compete with you last time. , just make up for it this time! Take my axe!"
"Don't be stupid! They won't hesitate like you!"
The raised scream then appeared at the other end of the broken bridge. It was the sound made by the Snow Spirit Huanbing who had just rushed out of the tower and slashed a bright white spear in front of another pirate: " These monsters are not creatures of this world! They will attack all living creatures!"
"Stay away from those places! They are still emerging!" Her voice then wandered around the cracks in the black space that were constantly filling near the tower: "Duan Qing! Do you have a way to block those cracks?"
"Cavities in the void are generally caused by the disorder and collapse of magic structures. This feature should not appear in the space of this haven."
The light of magic began to condense around Duan Qing, and the roar caused by the energy of the elements began to become more and more obvious in the piercing roars that the void beasts continued to send out: "The collapse that wants to fill these spaces is too much." It’s not a difficult task, as long as you keep stuffing various elemental attacks into it, it should be fine, but——”
"But their appearance may mean more." A faint explanation then appeared in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by the code word Ninglan who appeared beside him at some point and raised his weapon. The warning issued at that time: "If the situation is the same as last time, it means——"
"They found this place." Duan Qing frowned deeply, grinding his teeth and then squeezed the magic energy in his hands: "The ghost is really lingering, we just found Vallie How many days have passed before they discovered our whereabouts?"
"Although crossing such a long distance means nothing in front of the void, our whereabouts are not necessarily exposed because of her." The one who said this was Gedmei, who was waiting at the entrance of the tower with a shield raised. En: "Don't forget that we have two large targets here. If these are also their tracking anchor points - giant slam!"
"Drink!"
The tearing sound of sharp teeth and the harsh metal collision sounded behind the words. The shield warrior raised the huge shield in his hand and flew the shadow of a certain black beast away from his face. , the ground around the tower seemed to tremble a little with the appearance of this slap, and then was covered by a brilliant magic that crossed the sky. It seemed to be mixed with a variety of magical energy. This magical beam across the sky then exploded into fragments all over the sky when it hit a void. The burning air then appeared with brilliant fireworks. Throw this beam. In the eyes of Duan Qing, who was filled with chaotic magical energy, the originally breathless voice was interspersed with the deep groan from Tielin: "...I understand."
"In other words, just kill them all, right?"
Pointing to the black holes hanging in the air that were still dripping unknown substances, Tielin took a step forward and slowly pulled out a cruel smile between his beard: "There is really no way, who let these things They all look so disgusting.”
"Young ones!"
Amidst the scenes of loud promises all around, the Iron Hook Captain then raised his arm with the metal hook high: "Block our weak magician, and let these guests from another world see some color."
"Let them know that our East China Sea pirates are not easy to mess with either!"
The iron hook fell down with the last loud cry, smashing the black shadow of a void beast in front of him straight into the ground. The shouting pirates followed this black beast with splashes of black. Blood swarmed out of Duan Qing's sight, and they raised their respective swords and collided head-on with the endless black wave in front. The battlefield situation that originally seemed shaky gradually became much more stable with the addition of the pirates. Within the dark sky, only the shouts of the pirates wielding their swords and the strange howls of the void beasts with unknown meanings were left in the dark sky. The limbs and teeth all over the body seemed to have lost their initial frightening and deterrent effect at this time, and became less scary in the eyes of these sea fanatics: "Hahahaha! It doesn't look like anything terrible! Compared with those The sea monsters are far worse!"
"East! Send two more people to the east! That **** Anjie can't stand it! Hahahaha! I'll ask him to buy me two large glasses of rum later!"
"Watch out for poison! Some of these bitches actually have two snake heads! Who brought a torch? I'm going to burn them to death!"
"What a fucking disgusting person. If I had known earlier, I should have taken down those artillery pieces on our ship...be careful!"
"Hey, that magician over there, aren't you ready yet?"
A question suddenly appeared in the greetings with vulgar words that kept echoing in his ears. The eyes of several fighting pirates near the battlefield were focused on Duan Qing. He was trying his best to recover his strength and then put on his posture. He took the posture to cast the next spell, but the solemn expression that he originally wanted to concentrate on turned to his side: "How long has it been since the war started?"
"It's been more than a minute, sir." The sound of the dagger cutting off limbs came from the side, accompanied by Ninglan's precise report in code: "Please rest assured, sir, there is nothing wrong with Ninglan."
"That's not what I meant." His frown never relaxed, and Duan Qing's deep groan echoed among the battle roars in the sky: "There is still something wrong with the situation. It has been so long, that person But he never showed up..."
"Because he's not even here."
On the other side of the dark sky, a purple lightning suddenly appeared in the mid-air connecting the tower and the bridge. Lorna, who was located at one end, then quietly looked at a void that was destroyed by this lightning connection. The slowly dissipating scene raised his voice in the ears of Duan Qing and others: "You are referring to the owner of this magic tower, right?"
"Unfortunately, I have not sensed the existence of any other magical fluctuations here."
