A shrill voice is unlucky.
"Squealy" was certainly not his name. According to the traditional three-part nomenclature of the elves, his real name should be Fabian Dolly Lukus, but this name is irrelevant now, because he will probably turn into a corpse soon.
The origin of this story starts more than a week ago:
With Ed's help, he and his short, lecherous companion changed into second-hand clothes and prepared to leave the city as sailors.
Remuneration on whaling ships has always been based on shares. Seeing that they looked like novices, the captain only gave them one thousandth of the remuneration. Although this ratio was not high, the two people agreed immediately. After all, their real purpose was to leave the port quickly.
Due to the unbearable hunger, the two of them ordered two meatball noodles, a well-done steak, a grilled fish, and two large glasses of beer at a restaurant on the pier before the ship sailed.
Although both of them had no money in their pockets, the sharp voice had already made a plan in mind:
As long as the two of them rush out of the restaurant at that time, it will be easy to get rid of the boss with the speed of extraordinary people. As long as they walk in a circle outside, they can sneak back to the ship and wait for departure.
Eating a king's meal is nothing to two extraordinary people. However, just when they were about to apply oil on their soles and rush out of the store, the scene outside shocked them:
The pier is already full of "crows" wearing black clothes and masks, stopping the Voluni people (elves) from searching for identification. If they rush out with great fanfare now, they will obviously be seeking their own death.
Because they were afraid of making any noise, the two of them had no choice but to give in on the spot.
After that, in order to repay their own meal expenses, the two of them stayed in the back kitchen of the store and washed dishes for a whole week, and finally ran out.
Then, another trouble came - after escaping from the restaurant, the two of them were penniless and didn't even have food to eat. And now, members of the Nirvana Order are wanted everywhere, and it is not easy to get out of the city.
After repeated discussions, the two decided to find another way out for the time being and started a career with low cost, high income and short return cycle - robbery.
Since they did not dare to go to the West and Southwest Districts where police were abundant, the two simply started business in the dock area. On their first night of business, the duo bumped into a big customer:
As the person being robbed, the other party did not seem to be flustered. Instead, he opened his collar and revealed an ax and a harpoon.
Naturally, the two people from other places didn't recognize this sign, so they knocked him to the ground and took away his money bag. Although the clothes on this man were not high-end, he was unexpectedly rich. The two of them directly earned more than 2 pounds in cash.
The money was enough for them to temporarily avoid the limelight, but after some discussion, the duo decided to strike while the iron was hot and earn some travel expenses.
Unexpectedly, the next night the two of them were about to return to the Feng Shui treasure place where they committed the last crime, but they were surrounded by more than a dozen gang members who suddenly came out. A strong wind rose from the ground and swept the two people up.
"Storm" secret text, at least a level two extraordinary person...
Seeing that there was no chance of winning, the two defenseless men surrendered cleanly again and allowed themselves to be dealt with by the other party.
"Which fucking gang do you belong to, and you dare to attack the woodcutter and fishermen gang?" The leader slapped the sharp-voiced man on the face and said viciously.
"We are... uh, from the Phoenix Gang."
With a sharp throat, he felt a buzzing sound in his left ear, and blood gushes out of the ear canal. Naturally, he did not dare to tell his true identity, so he could only make up a hesitant name.
"Phoenix Gang?" The other party sneered, turned around and said, "I've never heard of this name. Be smart and kill these two."
"Wait, wait! I actually..."
Pointy Ears still wants to quibble. Suddenly, there was a terrifying buzzing sound in the dark night, like some kind of huge insect flying through the air.
boom! With the sound of a gunshot from the sky, the thug on sentry on the roof rolled and fell down, hitting his head on the earthen pot and vase on the ground, causing his head to break and bleed.
"In the name of Blackadder, I command you to lay down your weapons and plead guilty."
A knight in black armor appeared at the end of the alley. The sword in his hand was extremely strange. The translucent crystal-like blade was bathed in the moonlight, shining like milky white glass.
The voice was very low, echoing faintly in the armor's mask, and for a moment it was impossible to tell the gender.
Before he could finish his words, someone opened fire. The copper casing of the bullet rubbed against the black armor, creating a slender arc of sparks, which rolled and was thrown to the side.
The leader took action again. Driven by the "Storm" secret text, the powerful air flow tore out a spiral arc and shot through the air in the direction of the black-armored knight.
In mid-air, a light green barrier as vibrant as mint was gently woven, and the spiral airflow bombarded the barrier, suddenly turning into a turbulent flow and flowing in all directions. The barrier was like snowflakes condensing, swaying slightly but not dissipating.
And in the air, the buzzing "giant insect" fired another bullet. For a time, these people not only had to face enemies with strong defenses on the ground, but also faced harassment from the air above their heads, and they were suddenly in chaos.
There were still a few sober gang members who pointed their guns at Squealer and Dumpty, intending to get rid of the burden at hand first.
Fabian with a sharp voice would definitely not just sit back and wait for death. Although he couldn't defeat the extraordinary man, he was 100% sure when facing other ordinary people with guns:
A stream of flames spurted out from his sleeves, turning into an arc as he waved his arms, igniting the opponent's entire body. The bullet missed his ear, hit the uneven blue bricks like waves, and luckily bounced into the sky.
At this time, Chunky Dun also reacted, swooped forward, grabbed the opponent's pistol, and shot at the surrounding enemies.
Seeing enemies on all sides, but unable to do anything about the black-armored knight in front of him, the leader casually lit a jar and threw it on the ground. Suddenly, the hot and choking poisonous smoke made Pointy Ears and Chubby Dun burst into tears.
The leader raised his hand again and used a horizontal airflow to push the billowing smoke towards the black knight. Then he walked away without further entanglement.
There was another gunshot in the sky, and a bullet hit the leader's right arm, but it did not slow down and he quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
The black-armored knight was about to catch up when a familiar voice came from behind:
"Wait, stop chasing." It was Ed who spoke.
