Chapter 340: The huge waves at Jujiao Port
The next morning, the port of Big Horn Island.
The clouds on the sky have faded from the morning glow and are floating lazily in the sky. The slight sea breeze cannot blow away the heat brought by the early summer sun.
The porters on the dock were like industrious ants, carrying all kinds of goods and materials between the ship and the warehouse, but many people were whispering in private and looking quietly to the side of the dock.
That's where the pirate ship "Hurricane" docked yesterday, but now it's empty.
That's it, there are some pirate ships that only stay for one night and then leave.
There were a lot of people gathered around the pier and making noisy noises, which made the porters a little curious.
But they were just curious. When they saw that the steward of the dock was there, they knew that this matter was not something ordinary people like them could talk about casually.
However, their eye contact was still a bit gloating. After all, although the pirates abide by the rules of this gray port and would not attack ordinary people, they would not take care of themselves if they were reprimanded or kicked a few times. Because there's so much to say about this.
“Steward Les, you have seen the specific situation. Someone must have taken action against our captain last night!”
“They must have lured Boss Patrick to another place, and then sent someone to take the opportunity to steal our ship!”
“This is in Big Horn Port. We have always abided by the rules here. Now someone is messing around. Do you think you should give us an explanation?”
Drian said to Les, the dock steward who looked calm in front of him. Although his face was not good-looking, he was still trying to suppress his bad temper.
There is no way, he is just a high-level bronze pirate. He finally managed to land ashore yesterday, so he naturally wanted to indulge himself.
When I woke up, I found that the [Hurricane] was missing.
Moreover, people on the surrounding boats said that they heard the sound of fighting in the middle of the night last night, and some claimed to have seen Boss Patrick fighting with a man.
What to do now? Do we have to stay here and wait for the [Hurricane] to come back?
There are many companions like him around, but he is considered the strongest here, so he was pushed out to communicate with the steward of the dock.
This is because the silver pirate on the ship was required by Boss Patrick to return to the ship every day, so he, a pirate with average strength, became the representative.
To be honest, although he believed in Boss Patrick's strength, today's strange situation made him a little uneasy.
You must know that Patrick is a druid who can transform into a giant shark. He must have an absolute advantage in the battle on the sea.
Even if [Hurricane] was accidentally stolen while chasing the opponent, he should be back now.
How come there has been no news for so long?
Derion doesn't know what happened, but now he can only place his hope on the forces behind the scenes that control the Bighorn Port, hoping that they can let the golden man sitting there go find Boss Patrick.
Steward Rice nodded repeatedly while listening to Delion's words, while looking at the surrounding scenery.
Ah~ This day is so sunny!
Ah~this water is so blue!
Hmm, today is a good day to take out your James wine and enjoy it with fresh tuna.
Looking at Steward Les's pretending to be stupid and confused, Delion looked ugly, but he could do nothing about it.
There is no other way. The steward in front of me also has silver-level strength, so he doesn't dare to cause trouble.
It was obvious that he just didn't want to take care of it and put this matter off.
Is there any other way?
Derion looked at the eyes his companions were looking at him, and even wanted to threaten Les with Patrick's name, but the ominous premonition in his heart still stopped his impulse.
Les glanced at Delion out of the corner of his eye, but his heart felt like a bright mirror.
Doesn't he know what these pirates are thinking?
It is absolutely impossible for Lord Khalil to take action!
What happened last night? Khalil, the powerful golden man sitting at the port, has already noticed it.
But after all, it was a battle outside the port, and Khalil didn't want to get involved.
Moreover, in his opinion, although the silver-level man who shot at Patrick was very powerful, he was just a silver, and it would only be too troublesome for Patrick to take him down.
So when the two people's breath went away, Khalil didn't care anymore.
But a problem arose. After a while, Khalil felt the silver aura return to the port and appeared at the location of the Hurricane, but did not feel Patrick's aura.
After waiting all night, Khalil found no sign of Patrick coming back, and he suddenly had a ridiculous guess.
So early in the morning, Khalil called Les over and gave him some instructions, asking him to guard the dock today to see if there were any other situations.
Otherwise Les would have left long ago and he would not be too lazy to talk to these little pirates.
Watching Les boringly kicking the pebbles from the pier into the sea one by one, causing small splashes of water, Derion couldn't bear it anymore.
“Mr. Rice, you are not afraid.”
Just when Delion wanted to continue trying, he was interrupted by a loud shout from the person next to him.
“Look, is that the [Hurricane]?”
“It's true, let me tell you, nothing will happen to Boss Patrick!”
“Damn it, I wonder if Boss Patrick tortured those **** little thieves last night!”
Listening to the surprised voices of his companions beside him, for some reason, Delion's heart became more uneasy.
Looking at the [Hurricane] with its sails approaching rapidly in the distance, he could no longer restrain his instinctive impulse and turned around to leave.
“Mr. Delion, where are you going?”
Steward Rice looked at him with a smile, as if he was kindly reminding him:
“The [Hurricane] is back, aren't you waiting to greet your captain?”
“Haha, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something at the pub yesterday. Shouldn't I hurry and get it?”
“Otherwise, I'll be in trouble if I waste Boss Patrick's time.”
“Haha, is that so?”
Suddenly, Les no longer stopped Delion, looked at his hurried figure, and winked at the person next to him.
The subordinates immediately understood and followed closely.
Les turned around and looked at the [Hurricane] that was becoming more and more prominent in his field of vision, feeling a little emotional.
Is it really like what Mr. Khalil said, that would be too exaggerated?
After a while, the [Hurricane] had arrived outside the Big Horn Port pier. The light cyan light on the hull gradually dimmed, and the speed also slowed down.
“Wait a minute, what's that hanging on the bow?”
“Is it a person?”
“Haha, it must be those little thieves from last night!”
“Wait a minute. That's not Boss Patrick, is it?”
The pirates on the dock were shouting happily, and an uncertain voice appeared in everyone's ears, with some fear and disbelief in their words.
As the Hurricane got closer, more people saw the body hanging on the bow.
A thick hemp rope hung from the neck of a huge and strong body under the bow of the ship, still swinging back and forth slightly.
Although the face cannot be seen clearly, the **** shark tattoo on the chest of the corpse shows the true identity of the corpse.
【Blood Shark】Patrick!
The crowd on the dock instantly became confused. Uninvolved people were shocked that [Blood Shark] Patrick, who had been roaming the Pearl Sea for more than ten years, was actually killed. This was something that even the Berdych navy had not done!
As for the pirates who were originally on the Hurricane, their faces were pale and inexplicably horrified at the moment.
Boss Patrick is dead?
How can this be?
But no matter how unwilling they are to accept it, this is a fact that has happened.
When they turned around and wanted to escape, they were stopped by all the men brought by Les.
Although Les was mentally prepared, looking at Patrick's familiar and lifeless look, a chill still rose in his heart.
Since the opponent can really kill this big pirate, no matter what method he uses, he must have gold-level strength.
For such a strong man, Rice felt that he still had to maintain a certain amount of respect.
When the [Hurricane] cut through the blue sea and stopped ten meters away from the dock, a figure appeared on the bow of the Hurricane.
Charles looked at the crowd on the pier below, and suddenly enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above, and shouted loudly:
“People below, listen, our boss has killed [Blood Shark] Patrick, and [Hurricane] now belongs to us [Eagle Pirates].”
“If you are sensible, hand over all Patrick's men as soon as possible!”
Hearing the other party's request, the dock instantly exploded.
“[Eagle Pirates], is that weird pirate group that has been wandering around the Pearl Sea, hunting down pirates?”
“Can you actually kill Patrick?!”
“Then how strong their captain must be!”
Rice naturally heard Charles's request, but he still said bravely:
“No offense, but taking away those people like this is a bit against the rules of Bighorn Port.”
“Please captain, please have a talk with Lord Khalil!”
This is why Khalil asked him to stay here.
In the end, it must be given to others, but it cannot be given away so easily, otherwise the rules that have been established with great difficulty may be broken.
It would be better to have the captain of the other side meet Khalil. On the one hand, he can also get to know this new top powerhouse on the Pearl Sea, and on the other hand, he can easily earn a favor.
Give each other some face, hello to me, hello to everyone!
After hearing what Les said, the man on the boat shrank his head.
Just when Les was feeling a little uneasy, he suddenly felt that the air around him suddenly became dry and hot.
In the horrified gaze of everyone, a huge blue fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the bow of the [Hurricane], floating quietly in the air.
The fireball was filled with liquid flames. Even at such a distance, Les could feel the terrifying heat and unrivaled power.
This is clearly the strength of the gold level!
Less's forehead began to secrete sweat beads quickly, and he didn't know whether it was because of heat or fear.
"this"
“Listen up!”
Charles's head popped out from the bow of the ship again and shouted:
"Our captain said, don't talk nonsense and hand someone over quickly, otherwise he won't be polite!" Where did this reckless man come from? Does he understand the rules?
Although Les was aggrieved, he didn't dare to move now.
He wasn't sure what to say anymore. The other party was really hit with a big fireball, and he had no way to deal with it.
At this moment, a sturdy figure appeared on the pier, frowning as he looked at the huge blue fireball in mid-air.
“Isn't this a little inappropriate?”
Less looked at the familiar figure that suddenly appeared, and then he took a breath and said quickly:
“Lord Khalil, I”
Khalil waved his hand to shut up Les.
To be honest, he felt a little unsure now. As the guardian of this gray seaport, he naturally could not allow anyone to attack the port. He had to appear.
Originally thought it was just a matter of communication, who would have thought that the other party would actually take action directly?
But looking at the terrifying fireball in front of him, it was clearly the one who killed Patrick who had taken action, but he could not find the other party's location or even his breath.
There was only a group of silver and bronze auras on the [Hurricane] in front of me, and it was definitely not them.
This is much more terrifying than simply hiding the aura. If he is attacked, he may not be able to resist.
A moment after Khalil appeared, a figure also appeared on the fireball, looking down at Khalil.
Khalil noticed this figure immediately and looked at it intently.
Li Si's young and handsome face appeared in front of Khalil's eyes, which surprised him.
So young, he looks only about twenty years old.
Khalil can't believe it. You must know that only by reaching the level of legendary power can you control the changes in your appearance.
So, unless he used special props, the person in front of him really broke through and became a gold-level powerhouse at the age of twenty.
Moreover, being able to kill a senior gold-level being like Patrick is not something that someone who has just broken through the gold level can do.
The most important thing is, how could such a young gold-level professional have such a simple background!
Khalil has never heard of such a young and powerful man in the Berdych Kingdom. Could it be that he is from other countries?
The most important thing is that even though Li Si appeared in front of him, he still didn't feel Li Si's breath, as if there was just nothingness there.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with your eyes?
Looking at the quiet blue fireball at Li Si's feet, which contained a volcano that could erupt at any time, Khalil felt a little reluctant to retreat.
“This is the leader here, Khalil. I wonder what your name is?”
Khalil took the initiative to show kindness to Li Si, hoping to ease the atmosphere at the dock, which was about to drop to freezing point.
Furthermore, Charles has just stated that they are the [Eagle Pirates]. Although the [Eagle Pirates] have gained a lot of fame on the Pearl Sea before, the identity of their leader is not known to outsiders.
“Leese Kane, the captain of the [Eagle Pirates].”
Li Si said with a smile, but what he said next surprised Khalil.
“Of course, I am also the Marquis of Kane of the Kingdom of Fes.”
The Kingdom of Fes! Marquis Kane!
Not only Khalil and the people on the dock, but also Helen, Charles and others who were still watching the theater on the Hurricane were stunned.
Helen's white and tender little hands tightly grasped the corners of Charles' clothes and asked softly:
“Uncle Charles, do you know that the master is the Marquis of the Kingdom?”
Charles glanced at Helen and shook his head.
Don't ask me, I don't know anything!
The dock was in a mess, and Khalil was even more shocked!
He did not doubt the authenticity of what Li Si said. You must know that such a young gold-level professional is even rarer than the Marquis of the Kingdom.
And this can also explain why Li Si was able to break through to the gold level at such a young age.
You must know that the Kingdom of Fes has a legendary mage [Flame of Judgment], and naturally its background as a mage is much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Berdych.
However, that is the Marquis!
The family to which Khalil belongs is nothing more than a noble family with the title of marquis.
However, the Kingdom of Fes is now at war with the Kingdom of Berdych. At such a sensitive time, why would the Marquis of the Kingdom of Fes appear here?
Khalil looked at Li Si and was silent for a moment, unable to help him think too much.
As the war lasted for more than half a year, many people in the Berdych Kingdom had already recognized the facts.
With the Church of the Gods not taking action, the Kingdom of Berdych is no longer able to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Fes, and its demise is only a matter of time.
Even though the front line of the battlefield is still in a stalemate on the Huangshi City side, judging from the fact that the Berdych Kingdom has deployed naval troops to the front line, the situation is already quite bad.
Many coastal nobles are already transferring their wealth and preparing for a retreat.
Khalil was also one of the important participants, so when facing a Marquis from the Kingdom of Fes, he was a little numb.
"Even if you are the Marquis of Fes, you cannot break the rules of Big Horn Port at will."
After hesitating for a moment, Khalil said to Li Si.
There is no other way. The port of Jujiao Port is the most important retreat route prepared by the family. He cannot let Li Si take action so easily.
Even if he was ready to make a deal with Li Si before, he still had to go through the motions.
The corners of Li Si's mouth were slightly raised, and he gently waved the emerald staff in his hand.
To be honest, he didn't care about Khalil's attitude.
After all, he is here to cause trouble today!
The other party's attitude is too good, but he doesn't feel comfortable taking action directly. This is just the right time!
He knew that after the fall of the Berdych Kingdom, most of the Berdych nobles fled to the south, and the rest entered the Pearl Sea.
Although the nobles of the Berdych Kingdom are all corrupt, they reacted very quickly when they realized the danger of destruction.
At present, the important island ports on the Pearl Sea are basically under the control of those coastal nobles.
Even some pirates are controlled remotely by nobles.
This is not okay!
The Pearl Sea is regarded by Li Si as his own backyard. Although he will not destroy these surviving nobles, there must be some suppression and cooperation.
The premise of all this is to first shock these people.
Lay the foundation for your future declaration of sovereignty!
“Since you say so, then”
While Li Si was speaking, the fireball under his feet suddenly started and smashed in the direction of Khalil.
Khalil was a little surprised and hurriedly drew his sword and slashed at the falling fireball.
No, if you take action when you disagree, are you really a noble?
But before the words came out, he was choked back by the terrifying heat in front of him.
Khalil did not dare to be careless. The earth-yellow fighting spirit clung to the long sword and slashed towards the falling fireball.
The fighting spirit of a golden warrior can break through spells, which is what high-level warriors rely on when fighting spellcasting professionals.
The blue fireball was cut directly from it by Khalil, and fine streams of fire fell in all directions.
Most of them fell into the sea, but a lot of them fell on people and cargo on the docks and spread quickly.
“Your Excellency Li Si, aren't you going a little too far?”
Khalil looked at Li Si with an angry face, as if he was going to attack Li Si without giving an explanation.
“Actually, I can go even further!”
Li Si didn't pay attention and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Khalil saw a blue halo flashing around Li Si.
Boom~
Deafening sounds began to echo in the ears, as if a natural disaster was coming, making everyone feel as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly.
The water under the pier began to recede, revealing the beach mixed with shell crabs and the rotten, dark wooden piles under the pier that penetrated into the sea water.
In front of everyone's eyes, the endless sea water began to surge, and the huge waves gradually rose and lifted as if it went against common sense.
Les and the others on the pier looked horrified, looking pale as the huge blue wave in front of them lifted Les to a height of ten, twenty, and finally thirty meters in the air.
Huge waves hundreds of meters long were just stagnant in mid-air. Just the overwhelming impact and unspeakable sense of oppression made everyone on the pier breathless.
The Hurricane [Hurricane] rose into the sky together with the waves. Helen's eyes were full of energy, her hands were tightly holding the side of the ship, and her eyes looking at Li Si were even more eager.
People who have been living by the sea and making a living in the sea know that the sea is not as calm and easy-going as it usually seems. Terrifying hurricanes and huge waves can bring endless pain to people living by the sea.
That is a natural disaster, and no one can resist it!
Les was a little better, but his thighs were shaking uncontrollably, and more people were kneeling on the ground, praying to the gods with pale faces.
Even those pirates who were controlled were the same. Even after being released, they forgot to escape and fell to the ground. A few of them even wet their pants.
Khalil looked at the scene in front of him, his face stiffened and turned pale.
He felt a little proud after just breaking Li Si's spell, but now he was sweating a little when facing the terrifying scene.
Even though he, as a gold-level warrior, could survive the attack of this terrifying tsunami, there was no need to think that the Big Horn Port behind him would be directly razed to the ground.
This is unacceptable to him.
Now he wants to travel through time and space and give himself a slap in the face ten minutes ago. People are under control, so why not give him so much trouble?
It's okay now, I'm completely stuck!
Khalil was very sure that he seemed to have felt the aura of the transcendent realm from Li Si just now.
His scalp felt a little chilly, thinking of Patrick's body still hanging on the bow of the Hurricane.
This is the person who directly killed Patrick, so it's not surprising that he has mastered the extraordinary realm!
Looking at Li Si, who was half-smiling on the giant tsunami, Khalil put away his sword, rubbed his two heavy palms in front of him, and said with a flattering smile:
“Honorable Marquis Kane, I just made a little joke with you, please forgive me for my presumption!”
“I've got those people under control, please take them away.”
“I'm not familiar with them!”
Khalil is very conscientious and helps big bosses, how can he be called a coward?
