Lord Hunter needs a commission
Page 39
It is obviously not a good move to squeeze into the crowd while watching the excitement. At least everyone who Charlotte passed by gave him a look of dissatisfaction.
But with a cheeky face, Charlotte lowered her head halfway, but actually squeezed through.
And among the dozen or so people, they did not pile up on the side of the fence, but left an empty space, and above this empty space were some sailors of the ship, and it seemed that the sailors did not do nothing. At least they drove the onlookers away from the fence to prevent people from being crowded and falling into the sea.
Here, Charlotte was surprised to see Bartholomew Roberts who was playing cards with him before—this guy turned out to be the real captain.
"Excuse me, sir, can you please step back?"
Charlotte, who squeezed out of the crowd, was soon stopped by a sailor and tried to persuade him to back off.
"Sorry, that, I just came to see what happened." Charlotte laughed and looked towards the sea quickly.
At this time, there was an inexplicable silver mist floating on the sea surface in the southeast direction behind the stern.
These silver hazes are at least quite far away from the passenger ship, but they can be seen clearly at the stern of the ship, like a mass of silver stars crowded together and then spinning.
Looking at the past from a distance, it seems that the intuitive space is slightly abnormal around the range of this silver haze, and there is a tendency to wrinkle in a large area, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
What is that to see the undead?
Charlotte blinked his pale golden pupils. With his senses, he could still bear seeing the silver haze without feeling uncomfortable. This was much better than the sailors beside him and the passengers watching the excitement behind. They watched it for a while. Everyone has to look away.
Although there are many strange monsters in this world, but what kind of thing is this kind of silver mist that appears on the sea surface and seems to have no shape, Charlotte couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Ok?"
At this time, Charlotte suddenly discovered that Bartholomew Roberts, who might really be the captain of the passenger ship, did not seem to be able to look directly at the silver mist for a long time like his sailors and most of the passengers. .
On the contrary, although he was propping his hands on the railing with his back to himself, Charlotte could still feel that his body was shaking slightly, as if he was still whispering something.However, the sound of the sea breeze was a bit loud, and together with the private whispers of the dozen or so people watching the excitement and the sailors, Charlotte couldn't tell what Captain Roberts was talking about.
Just in this dazed gap, the silver mist in the distance suddenly changed.
In an instant, the swirling fog suddenly sank, as if something had smashed in, and a depression that could be seen on the stern deck appeared directly.
Immediately afterwards, these silver hazes converged towards this depression. This intuitive feeling is like countless silver stars turning into a galaxy vortex with a stable rotation trajectory.
Wait a minute, silver stars?Where do I seem to have read it?
Charlotte frowned. The familiar scene in front of him made him think about where he had read this record.
It stands to reason that this is the first time he has seen this scene, which is undeniable, but Charlotte always feels that he seems to have seen similar records in some book.
As for his background and childhood, he was basically out of touch with higher schools and elite universities, which means that the books he can read, except for the ones he bought with his own money, are only left on the fifth floor of the Kaer Morhen Tavern. Books in the study room.
"Silver stars, impossible, impossible, this... star realm?!"
Just as Charlotte was thinking, an uneasy shout came into his ears, it was Bartholomew Roberts, he seemed to understand what was going on, and he yelled out quickly.
"Sailors, quickly, take up arms and sound the alarm, and let all non-combatants return to their respective cabins."
Captain Roberts, turned sullenly, roared to mobilize the sailors.
Slight confusion appeared here. Hearing Captain Roberts' roar, the surrounding sailors panicked, and this emotion also infected the other dozen or so people.
However, before the sailors and passengers could react, a flash of light lit up from a distance, and a looming ship was seen coming out of the depression of the silver vortex.
Seeing this scene, Captain Roberts murmured, "The Jackdaw."
"He's still alive."
Chapter 88 Edward - Kenway (Part [-])
What is the Jackdaw?Who is he?What is alive?
After hearing the captain of the passenger ship, Bartholomew Roberts unconsciously exhort, a series of questions suddenly popped up in Charlotte's heart.But he didn't choose to ask what happened at this time, and of course it was impossible to ask what happened.
At this time, as if in response to Captain Roberts' words, in the center of the silver vortex in the distance, the looming ship rushed out of the depression, crashed, and landed on the sea, splashing a large wave.
After the ship landed safely on the sea surface, the silver vortex gradually dimmed, and its size rapidly shrank. After two or three breaths, it disappeared on the sea surface with a bang.
At this time, the ship that appeared from the silver vortex and came to the front had already attracted all of Charlotte's attention.
This is a sailing boat, yes, an old antique that is completely different from the many mechanically propelled ships in service, a double-barrel sailing boat that should have been completely eliminated in this era, and even fishing boats are no longer used.
If there is anything special about this ship that suddenly appeared on the sea, it is undoubtedly the beautiful azure blue magical aura flowing on the ship.
The hull, mast, ram, sail... Looking around, this ship seems to be completely shrouded in a blue light, or in other words, every inch of it is covered with magic, that is, this kind of magic The power of this ordinary old antique ship is no longer ordinary.
This ship is the so-called Jackdaw?
Charlotte murmured in her heart.
Right now, the two-baron sailboat that landed on the sea is catching up with the black baron at Charlotte's feet at a very unscientific speed, and the steel passenger ship driven by mechanical power is gradually being driven by The overturned ship drew closer, beyond reason.
And that sailboat obviously came with bad intentions. As for why... In this fast approaching distance, Charlotte could clearly see the black flag raised above that sailboat.
Only pirates like to hoist a black flag.
Although the raised flag is very strange, there is no skull or scimitar that pirates like to use, but a weird empty triangle.
Charlotte had never seen this sign before. Of course, he now recognized what this double-barrel sailboat was traveling at a completely unscientific speed.
This is a magic ship, and in addition to the astral world mentioned in the words of Bartholomew Roberts, the answer is obviously easy to see.
What is the star world? Although Charlotte has never been there, at least she has seen some records in books, and one of the symbols of the star world is the silver star.
This is an astral magic ship that has just been separated from the astral world and can sail in the astral world and various incredible places.
A 100% antique, strange magical creation, something that can only be mentioned in books, and should not appear in reality.
But this kind of thing just appeared in front of his eyes, and it was also aggressive, trying to charge it because it was far smaller than the passenger ship under his feet.
Even if it's a magic ship, it doesn't mean that you can use the ram to sink a steel ship that is much bigger than you and whose tonnage completely crushes you, right? !
However, our Captain Roberts is quite familiar with this astral magic ship.
When he saw the ship just appear, he not only recognized it at once, but also yelled for the sailors on the liner to get their weapons and sound the alarm.
Before the magic ship caught up with the passenger ship, the harsh siren sounded on the passenger ship, and many capable sailors rushed onto the deck with rifles, and the passengers who were watching the excitement and doing other things They were all persuaded to go back.
Charlotte was also one of the people who were persuaded, but he seemed a little worried. On the way back to his own cabin, he dodged and hid in a dead corner before the sailors who escorted the passengers back found out, and then ran to the deck again.
It's not that he is nosy, but what happened to this ship, let alone whether he can go to Solitary City, there is nowhere to go in the vast sea.
"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky~"
At this time, Charlotte felt very cheated about the ups and downs of her luck curve.
……
The magic ship rapidly approaching the passenger liner gave Bathalomew Roberts a very bad feeling. In a trance, he seemed to be looking at a squatting man on the ramming corner of the magic ship that hadn't completely approached. standing, hooded figure.
No, this is not an illusion, but reality.
The magic ship, which was so exaggerated that it didn't match the double-bar sailboat at all, had already gotten very close and caught up with the black quasi-baron.
But at this time, looking down from the deck at the stern, one could completely see the figure standing on the ram.
"Raise the gun."
At this time, dozens of sailors had gathered at the stern of the ship. Each of these capable sailors held a rifle, and then formed a formation. Under the command of Captain Roberts, they raised their guns and aimed at the approaching magic ship. .
Obviously, there are no escort guns on this passenger ship, and the only thing that can be used as armament is the rifle in the hands of the sailors on board.
But do these firearms bring a sense of security?No, if you are dealing with a few pirates in small boats, this kind of armed force is more than enough, but the enemies that are chasing now are obviously not ordinary pirates.
I didn't see any figures on the magic ship. It seemed that there was only the man in the hood squatting on the ram.
Then, the course of the magic ship deviated slightly, and did not directly hit the tail of the passenger ship. After all, even if it had magical magic, it was just an ordinary double-bar sailboat.
In terms of tonnage, there is no way to compare.
Therefore, the ship chose to stay sideways, and this also gave the sailors assembled on the ship a chance.
"shot."
Bang~bang~bang~
The sailors who had raised their rifles aimed at the only person on the magic ship as quickly as possible, and then pulled the trigger to shoot the bullets out of the barrel.
However, no one was hit.
When the inaugural bullet rain was about to approach, the hooded man squatting halfway on the ram let out a sneer, then his whole body crashed and disappeared under a black mist, allowing the bullets to penetrate the black mist.
"Be careful, this is a shadow step."
This scene changed Captain Roberts' expression drastically. "Gun up," he yelled, but it was too late.
A black mist suddenly appeared above their heads, and then the hooded man appeared again, opened and fell directly from the air, bumped into the hands of the sailors, and pressed his arms on the two sailors, and the sharp blades that popped out of the sleeves , took the lives of the two sailors.
"Edward Kenway."
Captain Roberts obviously knew this person, and with a look of fear on his face, he stepped back and shouted, "Kill him."
The rifle was equipped with a bayonet, and the sailors who were reacted, with red eyes, stabbed fiercely at the hooded man with the roar of their colleagues dying.
Chapter 89 A Passenger Out of Interest (Part [-])
Sailing at sea is a very depressing thing, so the relationship between the sailors on a ship is usually not very bad, so when they saw the two colleagues being easily killed by the comers, it immediately aroused the sailors. With the same hatred, they all raised their rifles with bayonets and stabbed them with red eyes.
But anger can't shorten the gap between the two sides. When the hood was raised, the Hidden Sword that popped out of the sleeve deftly pushed and pushed. A Hidden Blade pierced the sailor's throat.
Blood splattered, and the hooded man who seemed to be surrounded was unhurried, dodging the surrounding attacks with great dexterity, acting recklessly in a narrow space, parrying, deflecting, dodging, and counterattacking, his movements are very capable It's concise, as if it has experienced countless times of siege at a disadvantage.
And every time he stabbed the sharp blade under his sleeve, he could take away a life. After a few strokes, several sailors fell down.
Anger can bring courage, but death can defeat anger.
The sailors who were attacking with red eyes, saw that their colleagues were dying continuously, but they couldn't even touch the hooded man, as if being poured by a bucket of cold sea water, they suddenly felt cold , morale plummeted.
This is not a question of courage, but in the face of the threat of death, as a life instinct, it is understandable to choose to save itself.
But the hooded man had no intention of showing mercy.
He also clearly noticed that the sailors who besieged him were frightened, hesitated a lot in their actions, and were timid.
So he half-bent down, stepped on his foot, and rushed towards Captain Roberts who kept retreating.
A sailor standing in front of the hooded man saw the enemy rushing towards him, and subconsciously took a step forward, intending to block his way, but this move killed him.
This time, the man in the hood didn't use the sharp blade that popped out of his sleeve to carry out the assassination. Instead, he put his hands together, pulled out the two long knives hanging from his waist, and crossed them.
A cold light flashed, and the head of the sailor, who was subconsciously blocking the way, was instantly separated, and the blood overflowed high, falling down with the severed head.
This scene completely defeated the courage of the sailors.
In this era when firearms have almost replaced cold weapons as the mainstream, battle scenes like swords and swords rarely appear.
Although the lethality of bullets is fatal, in most cases, the impact in terms of intuitive performance is obviously not as strong as that of cold weapons.What's more, the brutality of this beheading scene, even in the era of mainstream cold weapons, is a huge blow to morale.
Even sailors who fought hard on the sea and experienced strong winds and waves all flinched at this moment. Even if they still had some courage, it was useless.
Because at this time, the hooded man had completely broken through the obstacles, and caught up with the terrified Bartholomew Roberts in one step.
The latter also discovered this life-threatening situation. In a panic, he pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger on the hooded man who had come to him.
Clang.
Unfortunately, Bartholomew Roberts only had time to pull the trigger twice and fired two shots, but the bullets were split by the hooded man with two knives.
"Goodbye."
The cold voice came to Captain Roberts' ears, and the face under the hood was raised. It was a blond man with a short beard. He stared at the face of Bartholomew Roberts with a ferocious expression of looking at his prey. The fear above, and then, the two swords cut down.
BIU~
At this time, a golden-red light suddenly shot from behind Captain Roberts, and flew straight to the pair of knives swung down by the hooded man.
boom.
The golden-red light exploded on the double knives, and a small flame exploded directly, causing the hooded man who was caught off guard to be blown away.
"Sir, are you a pirate?"
Behind Captain Roberts, who was still in shock and fell back on the ground, Charlotte held the same sci-fi-style firearms in both hands, and pointed at the hooded man who was forced to retreat.
"who are you?"
The falcon-like gaze under the hood moved away from Captain Roberts and looked at Charlotte who was pointing a gun at him.
"Ah! Probably a passenger out of interest."
"Oh, then why don't you say that you are a hero out of interest?" the hooded man provocatively said in a very nasty tone. "Isn't it standard for a hero to stand up for injustices on the road?"
