A moment of lag gradually appeared in the air between Duan Qing and Tielin, forming a sharp contrast with the noisy pirates in front of him. Duan Qing, who had his eyes widened, took a long time to digest the iron hook in front of him.
The captain said the misunderstanding, and at the same time gently wiped his forehead: "Your Excellency has a sharp gaze, you can see the relationship between us and Violet so quickly."
"Don't compliment me in such a superficial way, I'm not that stupid." The disdainful voice belonging to Tielin then sounded in front of Duan Qing again: "I saw how excited you were when you found that woman, and
When you help to carry it away with hands and feet, the relationship between you is already obvious."
"After all, we have been looking for her for a long time." Duan Qing scratched his nose helplessly: "Although we did not expect to find her in this way in the end, until we came to the end of the bridge, we also
I’ve never seen her before.”
"...What do you mean?" Tielin's eyes gradually widened as his words stagnated again: "You mean that the woman named Violet you know came out of thin air.
Falling from the sky?"
"That's something we want to find out too."
The bitter smile slowly disappeared from Duan Qing's face, and was replaced by the gray-robed magician's equally serious and solemn expression: "What exactly happened to Violet - this is what lies ahead for us."
The most important question at hand is how she appeared in such a remote deep sea, and why she was so seriously injured..."
"Huh, why are you asking me in such a roundabout way?" As if he understood why the other party has been hanging around him, the light in Tielin's eyes was also hidden in his messy beard and hair: "If you dare to tell me
If we have even the slightest suspicion, I will drive you and your companions back from here right now."
"We adventurers would never do such an unethical thing." Duan Qing took a step back, then bowed forward and saluted: "We just want to get the information we want, such as - you were
What was it like when you met Violet?"
"This is it."
A strange look flashed in his eyes, and Tielin's eyes suddenly turned to one side. His eyes that were originally full of energy also showed hesitation due to the emergence of this topic, and even his answers became lower-pitched.
: "This is not an important matter, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, but -"
"But what?"
"...that's fine."
After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, Tielin's voice returned to Duan Qing's ears after a period of silence: "It happened about a day ago. At that time, we were on the sea road to the safe haven, and the storm was already in our way.
It has been blowing around us for nearly several hours, and a new round of confrontation between us and God has just begun."
"Tris Hope, the observer responsible for looking around, was the first to discover the anomaly." He pointed behind him, into the wind and rain behind the fragmented bridge that spanned the range of the tower: "Hope claimed that he discovered a piece of
...The dark area is like something surrounded by darkness, which is very visible even in a deep storm."
"Is that what Violet looked like back then?"
"To be honest, we didn't even dare to go near that area."
Faced with Duan Qing's following questions, Tielin's answer seemed even deeper: "We just got a little closer, and the storm became more intense. There was nothing visible in the area wrapped in darkness.
Everything, even the compass that can avoid the raging elements of the storm and help us find the direction, has begun to malfunction."
"But we are pirates."
As if mentioning something he was proud of, Tielin suddenly gave Duan Qing a thumbs up when he said this: "How could a pirate who travels all over the world hold back because of such a thing?
?If I stay away here, wouldn’t my face, Tielin, be thrown into the endless abyss of the sea?”
"I admire the courage you have shown." Duan Qing lowered his head again and made a respectful salute: "But according to our understanding of Violet, she should not use this method of survival.
"
"That's something you people who like to play with magic will consider. I won't think about it." Looking at Duan Qing with contempt, Tielin took back the arm that showed his courage: "We were
I just thought there was a treasure inside that we pirates had never seen before, so I rushed in, but after fighting the storm and darkness for a long time, the only result was this woman floating in the air."
"Yes, she was already like this when we found her." The scene that was still fresh in his memory seemed to reappear, and his eyes fell in the direction of the tower: "Anjie also suggested that we
I used the magic cannon I grabbed to give the creature that didn't look like a human a little bit of color, but in the end I stopped it. We tentatively moved the ship closer to the center of the dark energy, and then we gradually saw the package clearly.
The figure of the woman in the dark atmosphere."
"Those dark energies... won't they hurt people?" He frowned, and Duan Qing's voice then sounded after a period of thinking: "They are the ones who protect Violet from falling.
Into the water?"
"I don't know. Anyway, Anjie sent someone to drag her back to the ship."
After gesturing to his own neck, Tielin then made a pulling motion: "Drawing an energy body like a black sun back to the ship is not a good experience. I am even ready to chop people.
Fortunately, those weird black magic energies have some spirituality of their own, and they shrank back like deflated balls before they were about to come into contact with us. But-"
"Ever since those energies disappeared and she appeared in front of us, her condition has been very dangerous." The pirate captain's gaze towards the black tower also became deeper: "If he hadn't met us,
If she continues to float in the sea, she won't even be able to survive today."
"It's not certain whether she will survive today."
Clenching his fists, Duan Qing's voice seemed to be drowned in a deep ocean: "But I still want to thank you for saving Violet. I believe you have exhausted all methods and attempts to extend her life.
"
"They are all useless efforts, nothing worth mentioning." Tielin waved his hands in vain: "It is the creed of us sailors to try our best to help every person who falls into the water, but we are in this sea area
I have been ruling the roost for such a long time, but I have never encountered such a strange thing. It just so happens that the owner of the haven is also a person who has a thorough research on the mysterious, so we happened to be sent here together."
"Then let me confirm again: Your Excellency and the Iron and Steel salvaged her from the black energy body in the deserted sea, right?" Duan Qing sighed slightly, and then revealed his face.
He smiled with relief: "Your Excellency, you have not encountered any other dangers, nor have you encountered any enemies who injured her to this extent?"
"...No." After staring at Duan Qing for a while, Tielin finally shook his head and said his answer: "We have not found any other threats."
"I'm glad you could provide us with this information."
Nodding his head again, Duan Qing buried the difficult smile on his face as he lowered his head: "The Qingling Adventure Group has no intention of becoming an enemy of the pirates, and will not take the initiative to fight against you in the future.
Enemy, I can guarantee you this."
"Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense?" A look of contempt flashed across his face, and Tielin turned his raised chin in the direction of the dilapidated carriage in front of him: "You really need to show kindness to us.
If so, then come up with something real."
"Ninglan."
Understanding what the other party was referring to at this time, Duan Qing waved to Ciyu Ninglan, who was still standing alone in front of all the pirates: "Get out of the way."
"Without magic driving it, it is already difficult to start this train." The sound of wind and code words pierced the sky. The scene of Ninglan emerging behind Duan Qing then appeared in front of a group of pirates, and with it, he turned and left.
The calm voice said: "I hope this iron shell, which has almost no use, can bring some help to you now."
With the figure of Ninglan smiling in secret, the gray-robed magician then walked back in the direction of the tower. The intertwined gray and blue back seemed to be extremely harmonious in the eyes of Tielin and others.
, looks like an impeccable whole: "...Humph."
"Boss... no, Captain." A pirate who came closer then stopped shouting in front of him: "What should we do? Are we just going to let them provoke them - ouch."
"What do you know, those guys are not easy to mess with." He reached out and knocked his subordinate on the head, and Tielin turned his eyebrows and the twisted iron hook back to Duan Qing's leaving figure:
"And judging from their communication with Mr. Molnar, their relationship with the Lord of Haven is better than we thought."
"Before we understand the situation, let's not act rashly." He turned around and warned the others, and his eyes fell on the car in front of him: "Besides, we still have many brothers who need to be accommodated."
"Let them all come over. I found a temporary place for them to rest."
Captain Iron Hook sighed softly, and then said in a low voice.
***************************************
In the following period, the life in this safe haven once again returned to the ordinary daily state that the players had been accustomed to for a long time. Just because of the stormy weather surrounding this deep sea area, it seemed that there was no sign of stopping.
.The exchanges with pirates continued as this period of life continued in this small broken bridge area. Along with this, Duan Qing and others were constantly busy inside and outside, responsible for helping.
Subsequently, under the instructions of the manager of the safe haven, Molnar's team continued to prepare necessary supplies for the treatment and survival of the refugees temporarily resettled in this place.
Potions of life, medical equipment, and the most critical water and food - this magician who has lived in seclusion here for thousands of years seems to be able to take out these things continuously.
"In short, we have no other options to think of until the storm completely subsides."
The attic where Violet was placed gradually walked down, and Duan Qing's voice then appeared in the ears of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had put down the last box of drinking water: "Let's stay here for a while."
"I'm not opposed to continuing to stay here to inquire and investigate." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stood up after hearing the sound, frowned slightly: "But the problem is that we still have not made any progress, no matter in any aspect.
"
"As long as Violet does not die in the true sense, we still have hope." Looking around at the wounded pirates who were still complaining about their illnesses, Duan Qing lowered his voice: "Continue to brush Molnar's
In terms of favorability, with the abilities he has shown so far, he is the only one here who can save Violet."
"We have helped everything we can, and even the pirates' impression of us is getting better." Xueling Huanbing sighed slightly: "Now that the sea and land routes are blocked, everyone can be called...
Even if nothing happens, the relationship between partners who share weal and woe will gradually become better and better."
"Just look at that guy Asahi Dongsheng." After saying this, she pointed to the door of the tower, where the giant ax warrior was gesticulating with a large number of pirates: "Today's pirates
There was grass growing on my head, so I insisted on bumping my fists on the bridge, but that guy happened to see me——"
"Presumably our Comrade Asahi Dongsheng has been too idle to feel uncomfortable." Looking at the laughing figure who was standing among the pirates and fistfighting with one of them, Duan Qing helplessly pressed his
Eyebrow: "Fortunately, he is still a man recognized by the pirates in the previous battle, otherwise it would probably cause some unnecessary conflicts now."
"If we really fight, it won't matter. Just pass the time." Xue Ling Huan Bing tapped the white spear behind her: "I have stayed in this isolated place for a long time, and even the passage of time seems to have disappeared.
What’s the concept?”
"I'm most afraid that the passage of time will lose its original meaning." Duan Qing's brows that had just relaxed gradually tightened, and Duan Qing turned his gaze back to the pirates who were laughing and yelling: "I always feel that something is wrong.
I always feel that there is still some gap between them and us.”
"The problem should lie with themselves." Nodding in agreement, Xueling Huanbing, who was approaching, quietly set his sights on Tielin's position not far from the crowd: "I think they should
Are you hiding something?"
"What do you think, janitor?"
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then she pointed her finger on Duan Qing's chest, who was smiling wryly.
