Pirate's Swordsman

pat.

With a soft sound, the upper part of the wooden box was slowly lifted up, only to see that it was empty inside, except for a simple-looking tubular instrument quietly placed in the middle.

The whole body is light yellow, shaped like a polygonatum, with rounded edges and five holes, and is about one foot and eight inches long.

"Is this the Shakuhachi that Yugi Riaso carries with him? It looks good, but I don't know how to brag about it..."

After Xia Nuo studied it for a long time, he scratched his head, showing a hint of helplessness.

This thing is actually something in the gift package for going to sea. It's really useless. Since it's all Yasuo's belongings, why not give him his saber to yourself.

After all, he only has a "Lake Toya" on him now, which is pretty good for daily sparring or training, but if he really wants to fight to the death with the enemy, this kind of wooden sword will naturally not be used on the stage.

As for the sword of the Gale Swordsman, in this world, it is at the level of the Twenty-One Great Sharp Sword, right?

"Forget it, luckily it's not very conspicuous. Let's put it away first."

He took out the shakuhachi and hung it on his waist together with Lake Toya. As for the wooden box outside, after confirming that it was of no use, Xia Nuo threw it over the railing and sank into the sea with a "pop".

"Eh? Wait a minute, this feels wrong..."

When Xia Nuo was about to open the ancient scroll, he suddenly frowned, as if he suddenly noticed something. He lowered his head suddenly, put his right hand on his waist, raised his thumb, and pulled out Lake Toya again.

brush!

A white cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, like frost and cold light, exuding a heart-stopping aura.

But just for a moment, the cold light dissipated, as if it had never existed. What appeared in Xia Nuo's hand was still the ordinary-looking old wooden sword.

"what's the situation?"

Xia Nuo looked at Lake Toya in his hand with some surprise. Although the appearance of this sword had not changed, as the owner, he could clearly feel some subtle differences at this moment. After hesitating for a while, he still stretched out a finger. , slowly placed it on the wooden sword.

Gently brushing the blade of the sword, a cold feeling immediately penetrated from the surface of the wooden sword and penetrated into the skin, making people shiver.

Xia Nuo was shocked and quickly retracted her finger.

"It feels exactly the same as a real sword. Could it be that... the system automatically used up the opportunity to strengthen the weapon?"

Staring at the blade of the wooden sword, an idea suddenly came to Xia Nuo's mind, and after guessing for a moment, he basically confirmed it.

"It hurts a lot. Why use Mao now? Can't you wait until I find a real sword that is above the level of a good sword and strengthen it..."

Looking at the wooden sword with a constipated look on his face, Xia Nuo felt as if his heart was bleeding.

A wooden sword, even if it has been strengthened, is probably about the same as an ordinary real sword, let alone a good sword or a fast sword. When you think about it, it is simply a waste.

The deal was already done, and after complaining, Xia Nuo had no choice but to hide Lake Toya again bitterly.

"Forget it, let's look at other things first."

Turning his attention to the ancient scroll in the middle, Xia Nuo flipped through it, and it turned out that it was all about the Iaijutsu. This made his eyes light up. He closed the ancient scroll with some excitement and carefully held it in his arms.

Iai is a technique in kendo that involves drawing a sword to kill an enemy instantly. Its importance to swordsmanship is self-evident. However, Xia Nuo's wind-controlling swordsmanship still has many shortcomings, and the steel-cutting flash he has just mastered is even more important. He is quite unfamiliar, but if he can master Iaijutsu proficiently, he will undoubtedly be able to take his strength to a higher level.

After pondering for a while, Xia Nuo's eyes turned and landed on the last thing.

"The only thing left is this gift of bronze treasure box.

. "

Without much hesitation, Xia Nuo stretched out his right hand, ready to take the treasure box to his knees and open it again.

result.

"Buzz! If the conditions are not enough, please unlock it after your hero's level increases or your wind-control swordsmanship is upgraded."

"What, you can't open it now, you have to wait until it is upgraded?"

Xia Nuo held the bronze treasure box, looked it up and down, and muttered to himself somewhat depressedly, "This thing is so heavy, where can I put it in my backpack?"

"You chose to put this item into the backpack slot. Are you sure?"

Unexpectedly, after having this idea in my mind, the system's voice actually rang.

"No matter how imbecile you are, it is still a system..." Xia Nuo raised his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was wrong to think that you wouldn't reply before."

So……

"determine."

laugh!

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light flashed on the surface of the bronze treasure chest, and then completely disappeared before his eyes.

In the next moment, the attribute panel appeared. Among the six grids at the bottom, the light of the first one circulated, and there was a logo of a bronze treasure box inside.

"This will put you at ease. Let's open it next time if conditions permit..."

Seeing this, Xia Nuo pursed his lips and breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at the sky, he held on to the railing, stood up with some difficulty, and walked slowly towards the cabin door.

Xia Nuo had planned to take a nap on the deck before, but after trying the steel-cutting flash, his body and mind were a lot tired again, and he already felt a little exhausted, so he had better go back to the tower. It is best to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep in the room arranged by yourself.

…………

The sunset is westward.

There was no one in the dim corridor and it looked quite cold.

This is the second floor of the Tado pirate ship's cabin. There are more than a dozen rooms on the left and right sides of the corridor. All the crew members, including Captain Tado, rest here.

Step, step, step.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the stairs. Immediately, through the thin dusk, a short figure suddenly appeared in the corridor.

The surrounding light was not clear, but one could still barely tell that this was a little boy of about eight or nine years old.

He leaned against the wall and walked very lightly and slowly, as if he was on guard against something. From time to time he looked back cautiously, and only after seeing nothing unusual did he dare to continue walking deeper into the corridor.

After a while, the little boy finally walked through the entire corridor and came to the end directly opposite the stairs. A narrow wooden door appeared in front of him. There was a wooden sign hanging on the door that clearly read "Storage Room". A big character.

"Aha, I finally found it..."

He looked up at the wooden sign and grinned, with a joyful smile on his young face.

However, right now.

goooo...

There was a noise in his stomach, breaking the silence in the corridor, and as the sound grew louder, a trace of panic flashed across the boy's face. He hurriedly knelt down, crossed his hands, and covered his stomach tightly.

"Damn it, it's all my fault for that damn old man. I haven't eaten all day and I'm almost starving to death..." The boy looked back at the direction of the stairs and gritted his teeth in a voice that only he could hear.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the sound coming from my stomach to subside.

After waiting for a while, until the sound completely disappeared, the boy breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and carefully opened the door of the storage room.
