Chapter 4 Pirates Attack (Part 1)

Dumb scratched his head. The word pirate did not have a deep impression on his mind. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he decided to go back to his room and ask Coris for advice. For him, the world is so new and strange. He wants to understand everything he encounters, even if he can't remember it.

     "Teacher, teacher, there is a big ship coming outside. There are many people shouting pirates, pirates. What does pirate mean?" Running back to the room, Duan asked excitedly before he could stand still.

     Coris was startled, sat up from the bed, and said, "What did you say about the pirates coming?"

     Dumb said: "It's a big black ship, and their sails are painted with skulls. Someone on our ship calls them pirates, and I don't know if they are."

     Coris frowned. Although he was not afraid of pirates, he was still unwilling to conflict with them when he was feeling unwell. I hope the sailors on the passenger ship can cope with it.

     Dumb asked: "Teacher, what does pirate mean?"

     Coris said subconsciously: "Pirates are people who steal things, and sometimes they also kill people."

     After listening to Corris' explanation, Ah-Dai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then don't be afraid, I have nothing for them to rob. Ah, teacher, you have to be careful, you have gold coins and purple coins on you, they may If you know how to rob, you should hide it first. Where should I hide it?" As he said this, Ah-Dai looked around for a hiding place in the cabin.

     After listening to Ah-Dai's silly words, Coris felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Does he care about me? Coris thought to himself. It's been a long time since I felt cared for. Coris shook his head a little irritably, grabbed Ah-Dai, and threw him on the bed, "Be quiet."

     Dumb didn't understand why the teacher was angry, so he sat on the bed in shock, not daring to say a word.

     The sound of ding, ding, ding, ding kept coming, and the big ship shook violently. The standing Coris quickly held on to the wall beside him to steady himself. He knew that it was probably pirates who had come to rob him. What happened just now The sound was caused by the scratching hook grabbing the hull. Noisy sounds kept coming from outside, and Coris became even more irritable. The shaking just now made his nausea a lot stronger. The acid water in his stomach kept rising, and the feeling of seasickness was really uncomfortable.

     "People on the ship, listen, we are pirates, hand over all your valuables quickly, otherwise, don't blame the weapons in our hands for drinking blood." Rough shouts came from outside, indicating that the pirates Action has already begun. Coris knew that pirates were not that easy to talk to. Even if they handed over the money, they might not spare the lives on the ship. After all, every group of pirates hopes that they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Tianjin Empire's fleet, and the best way to keep the secret is to turn everyone who has seen them into corpses. Wrecking the ship is their usual approach, which saves trouble and time. Coris thought to himself: It seems that he can't survive without taking action. Swimming is simply impossible for him.

     Pushing open the barn door, Coris walked out. The sunlight reflected on the sea suddenly made him feel dizzy. Holding on to the railing, Coris couldn't help but retching.

     A pair of small hands appeared behind Coris and patted him gently. Gris suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. After spitting out the last mouthful, he turned around and saw Ah-Dai looking at him anxiously.

     "Go back to the room. Hurry up." Gorris shouted sharply.

     Dumb was stunned. Although Coris's voice was very rough, there was no indifference in it as before, but instead there was a hint of concern. Duan didn't move, and looked at each other with Coris. The old man and the young man just looked at each other for a long time. After a while, Corris realized his gaffe, grabbed Dumb and stuffed him into the room, "Don't come out." After saying that, he walked towards the noisy lower floor.

     This group of pirates is obviously a habitual offender, and each of them has good skills. They have already pulled the passenger ship to their own ship. Dozens of pirates have jumped on the passenger ship, waving their weapons and shouting non-stop. The captain of the passenger ship led the sailors to gather in the front cabin of the ship. Most of the more than 20 sailors had panicked looks on their faces.

     A one-eyed pirate leading more than a dozen people was negotiating with the captain. Coris released a wind-based amplification magic, and the captain's voice talking to the pirates was clear and could be heard.

     "Brother, I, we are willing to hand over all the profits from this operation to you. Please let the boat go. I promise not to report it, how about it?" The captain obviously knew what actions the pirates would take, and said humbly.

     The one-eyed pirate laughed loudly, "How much profit can you make? Don't do this with me. Stay here honestly and mind your own business. Maybe the old man is in a good mood and will let you live. If you want to play tricks, tricks, then don't blame my men for being ruthless." As he said that, he suddenly slashed the scimitar in his hand towards the side of the ship. There was a flash of light and a bang, and a hole suddenly opened on the side of the ship. Corris's heart moved. The pirate leader's kung fu was not weak. The seemingly simple blow just now contained the fighting spirit of a master. The blade did not collide with the side of the ship, but it caused a lot of damage.

     The captain and crew members were obviously frightened by the powerful sword, and none of them dared to say a word.

     The one-eyed pirate shouted arrogantly to his men: "Young men, move faster. After completing this mission, let's go back to drink and eat meat." The pirates immediately followed his voice and shouted, and the first floor Most of the cabins had been opened, and the passengers were pulled onto the deck, while the pirates were carrying out their plundering operations. If a passenger resists even slightly, he will immediately be punched and kicked. For a moment, people are panicked, and some passengers have taken the initiative to donate their belongings to the pirates to ensure their temporary safety.

     Corris knew it was time for him to take action. This group of pirates didn't even look at him yet. What he feared most was that the pirates would sink the ship. The wind amplification magic spread his voice far away, "Stop it." The deep voice could be heard clearly by everyone on the pirate ship and the passenger ship.

     The pirate leader looked stern and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Corris walking down the stairs slowly. He thought to himself, he couldn't be so unlucky. Could it be that he met a magician shouting He said: "Everyone, stop." The pirates obviously saw the leader's hesitation and gathered around him. For a time, hundreds of eyes were focused on Corris at the same time.

     Coris coughed twice, barely suppressed his dizziness, and said to the pirate leader: "Leave this ship immediately."

     The pirates looked at each other, waiting for the leader to speak. The one-eyed pirate looked at Coris up and down, and he was also beating a drum in his heart. This group of pirates had not fished in the autumn wind for a long time. This time they finally picked up a big fish, so how could they do it? Let go easily. However, the person in front of him seemed to be a magician of high rank. He was still aware of the terror of magicians. "Sir, are you a magician?" he asked tentatively.

     Corris did not answer his question and snorted coldly: "I say it again, leave this ship immediately."

     Before the one-eyed pirate could say anything, a sturdy pirate couldn't help but stepped forward, waved the mace in his hand, and said, "You old guy, I think you're tired of living." He held his hands with both hands. He held a huge mace weighing fifty kilograms and hit Coris with his head covered.

     Before coming down, Corris had already cast wind magic on himself. Of course, he would not be intimidated by the rude man in front of him. He shrank slightly and floated back three feet away. With a loud bang, the mace in the man's hand smashed deeply into the wooden deck.

     Coris stretched out his right hand, vibrated his fingers slightly, and a stream of light cyan powder flew out, accurately landing on the man's mace.

     The sound of popping sounded, and the reckless man was startled. The mace in his hand suddenly became hot, and he subconsciously let go of his hand. He was surprised to find that his mace made of fine iron was gradually melting. . It turned into black molten iron, and an unpleasant smell emanated from it. The reckless man took a few steps back in horror, pointed at Coris and said, "You, who are you?"

     The cyan powder that Corris just sprinkled was the molten gold powder he refined himself, which can melt almost all metals.

     The pirate leader took a few steps forward, pulled the rough man back, and said politely to Coris: "Sir, you must be an alchemist. Please be polite."

     Coris stretched out his right hand and muttered a few spells in a low voice. The black flame that melted the wooden table in front of Uncle Li appeared in his palm again. The black flame looked particularly strange under the sunlight. The pirate leader was startled and looked at Corris in a daze.

     Coris said coldly: "Are you asking me to repeat it a third time?"

     When the pirate leader was at a loss, a deep voice sounded, "Who did I think was blocking my way to make money? It turns out to be the famous magician Gorris."

     Coris was shocked. The voice seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible for him to identify the opponent's position. This was a big taboo for magicians who were not good at melee combat. What surprised him most was that the person who came actually knew about him. identity of. He hurriedly chanted the spell, and a layer of black mist came out of his body, completely covering the area within three feet.

     "Don't be nervous, how dare I take action against Master Coris." A black figure flashed out from the pirate ship and landed lightly in front of Coris.

     Corris looked at this person through the black mist. This person was dressed similarly to him. He also covered his whole body with a large black cloak. He was very tall, and his strong body was faintly visible under the cloak. However, Coris clearly felt that this man without magic element fluctuations was not a magician, and his cloak seemed to be just to hide his identity.

     "Boss." All the pirates saluted respectfully at the same time.

     The man in black raised his hand, and the pirates suddenly became quiet. He said to Coris: "Master Coris, you and I have nothing to do with each other, so why do you have to trouble me? Let's do this, wait until we loot this place. , sank the ship. You get on our ship and wherever you want to go, we promise to send you there. How about?"

     Coris thought to himself: Do you think I am a fool? I got on your ship, and I didn't let you slaughter me. I'm not that stupid. "No need to bother, I still say the same thing, leave this ship immediately."

     The man in black took a step forward and said: "Since the master is so persistent, why should we explain it to our brothers?" After saying that, his body floated towards Coris like lightning, his cloak floated up, and a few black lights came towards Coris. Cross out. The speed is simply astonishing. The dark protection that Coris just emitted did not seem to slow down the other party's speed, and the black light grabbed Coris's body like lightning.

     Although Corris's magic was very strong, he was an alchemist after all. He did not expect that the other party would dare to attack when he showed the flames of darkness. He was suddenly startled. In the danger, he no longer cared about hiding his clumsiness, and quickly took out something from his arms and flicked it out.

     Wumang accurately hit Coris's body, but the man in black was surprised because he clearly felt that he had not caught the entity. He shouted in surprise: "What a mirror image technique."
