Chapter 128 125. Wind and Water Methods
The sun is scorching.
Lying on the rear deck in his underpants, the salty and humid sea breeze made Dylan feel like a salted fish, a salted fish that was almost dried up.
The scout's mimic backpack was leaning against the shadow cast by the ship's tower. Today, he still had enough magic power, so he didn't draw it from Dylan.
The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the deck was heard, and a one-eyed, dark-skinned strong man came to the rear deck carrying a bag. He saw Dylan performing performance art at a glance, but he was obviously not surprised.
"You're sunbathing again, Dylan. You can't get a tan." Throwing the bag in his hand over the stern, the one-eyed man continued, "By the way, didn't I tell you that you can sunbathe on the front deck? Some of the planks on the rear deck haven't been replaced yet."
Just as he said, there was a piece of wood under Dylan that was broken.
"Galon, are you here to take out the trash again?" Dylan opened his eyes and glanced at the first mate who was walking past him. He said helplessly, "The front deck is full of sailors coming and going. I'm lying there disturbing others. Even if they don't say anything, I'm embarrassed."
"Hey, you..." Without much hesitation, the first mate quickly returned to the cabin.
Dylan continued to lie down until the evening, charging up his magic power for the next few days.
I found the second mate on the ship, asked for a bucket of water and returned to the room.
The second mate is a water mage. With 30 silver coins, Dylan can get a bucket of water from him every day.
In fact, any reliable ship would have such a person who could make fresh water, and more advanced ships would have priests who were good at healing, but this ship only had an ordinary ship doctor.
After leaving the drinkable part, Dylan put Puji into the bucket. After Puji had absorbed enough, Dylan used the remaining water to wipe its green body with a towel after canceling the [Mimicry].
Through the window, Dylan looked at the three-colored moons rising one by one and calculated the itinerary in his mind.
It has been more than twenty days, and it will probably take less than a week to reach Siren Island.
Although Silver Sand Bay is not Dylan's final destination, there are frequent ship traffic between the archipelagos, and it is easy to find a ship to Silver Sand Bay from Siren Island.
As soon as I arrived at Yinsha Bay, I went to find the local intelligence dealer.
During this journey, Dylan also thought a lot about himself and his daughter. The situation on the mainland is becoming more and more tense, and war may break out at any time.
After finding Bella, maybe I should confess my current situation and take Bella to the underground city to avoid the limelight, or at least stay in a small town like Mute Wind Town in the rear, so as not to be involved in the war one day.
With the support of the boss, safety is always more guaranteed.
Of course, Dylan absolutely did not want Bella to be parasitized. Apart from anything else, Bella was naturally beautiful. How could she become a strange mixture of flesh, blood and mycelium like himself? Turning green was even worse!
Dongdong——Dongdong——
The sound of a gong that had never been heard before outside the window interrupted Dylan's thoughts.
what happened?
With his backpack on, Dylan opened the door and found that everyone else had also walked out of the room.
"It's the Blood Shark!" As soon as Dylan left the cabin, he heard the sailors on the observation deck shouting repeatedly.
Blood Shark?
Sounds like a name for a pirate ship.
"Hold the rudder to the left! Grab the westerly wind! They have triangular sails, and they can catch the crosswind much faster than us!" The captain, who was usually invisible, was now shouting orders on the deck, "All rowers, get down, get down! Row!"
Dylan ran to the side of the boat and looked around. He soon spotted the triangular sailboat following behind them and could vaguely see the black flag hanging on the mast.
Unlike the Fengyu, which was still organizing the rowers under his feet, the black oars on both sides of the triangular sailboat opposite had already risen and fallen in the sea.
Dylan felt that, regardless of whether the Fengyu could outrun the enemy at full speed, the enemy would probably catch up with it just by speeding up for a while.
"How...can they be so fast?" a sailor asked in disbelief.
The captain seemed to realize something as well: "Damn it, they must have a wind mage!"
Then he looked at Dylan and the other passengers who had walked out of the cabin to observe the situation, and asked loudly: "Are there any wind mages among you? If there are, please stand up quickly. If we are caught by pirates, no one will be in trouble!"
The passengers looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.
Yes, this ship was originally a cargo ship, and the passengers were brought along along the way. There were only eight or nine people, and among them, there might not even be any mages, let alone wind mages.
"Go back to the cabin, go back to the cabin, don't make trouble on the deck now!" Seeing that there was no wind, the captain drove everyone back. He didn't have time to take care of these passengers now.
Some passengers were anxious and refused to go back, but Dylan returned to his room.
"Will Diamond become a pirate?"
In the fungus network, Lin Jun asked directly.
The two ships are not close to each other now, and Lin Jun cannot see the panel on the opposite ship.
Dylan immediately analyzed: "Not many, but there are some. Those who dare to come alone to rob the ship must have at least multiple gold-level combat capabilities. At least the wizard who can blow the sail must be a gold-level one."
Plural gold levels?
If the previously killed knight is taken as the gold-level standard, it is very safe for a scout to defeat one, it will take some time to defeat two, and it will be a tough fight with three.
It would be even more troublesome if a group of pirate soldiers were added.
Fortunately, the Fengyu is not without combat capability. The captain is a level 42 fighter, and the first mate is also level 35, so they can share some of the pressure if a conflict occurs.
but……
"Dylan, will the pirates here kill everyone after they board the ship?"
In Lin Jun's impression, even among the pirates in the Middle Ages, only the most vicious ones would leave no one alive every time.
Some pirates who have controlled an area on a large scale will even transform themselves into the type that only collects tolls, but this is off topic, and the one behind you is obviously not that.
"Kill them all? Probably not. But Boss, the pirates will probably capture everyone on the ship and make them slaves..."
Don’t the leaders of the archipelago care about this kind of behavior that disrupts trade?
Still can’t handle it?
There wasn't much time to think, as from outside the window I could already hear the pirate ship catching up from behind.
The shape of the backpack is not suitable. It will be difficult to explain if the pirates check the backpack. Lin Jun doesn't want to be the first to stick his head out. Whether he can win or not, a lot of things will be exposed. If the pirates just want to rob some money, Lin Jun doesn't plan to care.
Controlling the scout Puji to re-camouflage, the backpack soon turned into a solid wooden stool with all the tentacles hidden inside the body.
"Quick, put me somewhere inconspicuous on the deck."
The reason for putting it on the deck was because we were afraid that he would be too far away from Dylan and would not have time to react if something happened.
When Dylan came out carrying the scout, he suddenly felt something strange. The speed of the boat seemed to have slowed down?
When I looked up, I saw a white flag hanging on the mast...
So the captain was so aware of the situation that he surrendered decisively when he saw he couldn't escape?
Putting down the scout, Dylan saw the pirate ship almost side by side.
"Stay where you are and don't move!" Following a roar with a strong local accent, several hooks had already bitten the side of the ship. After a while, more than thirty pirates jumped onto the deck of the Fengyu.
The scarred leader twirled the scimitar in his hand and looked at everyone on the deck with a smile.
At this time, Lin Jun opened the panels of all the pirates.
Three gold levels.
