Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh pressure is great(1/2)
The monstrous fire only lasted for a short period of time, but the terrifying momentum still frightened all the pirates who witnessed this scene.
As soon as the pirate ship approached the shooting range, the terrifying professional who was suspected to be the Archmage rose into the air and used powerful plastic energy spells to create a huge deterrent, which caused many captains who had a premonition of something bad to immediately
He skillfully directed the ships to disperse and escape.
This is also the standard operation of pirates when they encounter hard trouble. In the early years, in order to consolidate and maintain its colonial waterways, Amn often did this kind of fishing and law enforcement work.
However, when that terrifying spell fell like a blazing meteor shower, some pirate ships were still damaged.
Most of them are the Viking ships that were at the forefront of the One-Eyed Addison.
When it comes to escaping, you often don't need to run away as fast as you can, you just need to run faster than others.
The pirate ship, which is horrified in the eyes of mortals, still appears too fragile under the energy-shaping spell that is like a natural disaster, like a candle that is lit by a torch.
Occasionally, magicians on pirate ships used magic scrolls to open a flame protective barrier, but it often fell into pieces soon after.
The smarter pirates jumped into the sea to escape before the flames poured down, while the slow-reacting pirates either became on fire on the spot, or threw themselves into the cold seawater with their butts on fire.
In this world where medical care is still underdeveloped, most of these unlucky people who are hardly favored by priests are destined to die from subsequent painful infections.
A moment later, the somewhat oversized three-masted merchant ship cruised quietly past the burning wreckage, and some of the ships in its path were directly crushed and broken, sinking into the sea.
Just like a giant beast passing by on an ant pile, just blowing its breath as usual is like a disaster.
...
On the coast of the Yunwu Mountains, most of the surviving ships were stranded on the wreckage-strewn beaches. Coughing, vomiting and painful groans were heard everywhere.
The one-eyed Addison, who was in tattered clothes and had a steaming head, waved his hand and pushed the crew member blocking the way to the ground and rolled him far away. He looked like an angry lion king with bloodshot eyes before he raised his hands to show weakness.
Eric, who was smiling bitterly, grabbed the opponent's collar and spat out bloody spit:
"Bah! Eric, you piece of shit! I was so blind that I believed your suggestion again! You need to give me an explanation!"
"Hey hey hey! Man! Calm down! Calm down! Just venting your anger will not solve any problems."
Eric acted like a harmless ordinary person and spread his hands: "To a certain extent, this is actually a good thing, isn't it?"
"Shut up! At least hundreds of my men have died! Just because of your damn bullshit plan! Do you still have the nerve to tell me that this is a good thing?"
Addison pushed him and staggered him back several steps. He raised the battle ax behind his back with a clang. It seemed that if the other party didn't give him a satisfactory explanation today, he would follow him here.
A fight to the death from pirates.
Behind him, there were also many pirate leaders who looked over with unkind eyes.
"But this is a necessary price. Do you understand the price? Many of us died this time, but their deaths are valuable. At least, we have tested out one of Alyssa's trump cards.
?"
Eric was like a seductive devil. A smile appeared on his face again, but he said coldly:
"In fact, this is probably her biggest trump card. Otherwise, why doesn't the 'Queen of Sword Coast', who has always regarded pirates as enemies, just wait for us to get closer and catch us all in one fell swoop?"
Before Addison could turn around, she heard the other party continue: "Because she doesn't know the specific scale of our operation, and at the same time she has to guard against possible high-level professionals, so she must let
Archmage Fisher saved the necessary spell slots, and then they chose intimidation and intimidation to 'scare us away'. If what I expected is correct, after they arrived in Amn, if they did not choose to trade directly, they would definitely
The employment force will be increased in a targeted manner.”
Addison, who was full of anger, suddenly laughed angrily: "You call this a deterrent! It's just a deterrent, and we almost died in the sea! Together, we don't pose the slightest threat."
"So, we need allies, more allies, enough to restrain the possible existence of powerful allies like Archmage Fisher."
As he spoke, he gave up half of his body, revealing the woman who appeared behind him like a ghost at some point.
The woman opened her hood, looked around at everyone, and finally cast her golden vertical pupils on Addison's face, smiling:
"Melindela, on behalf of the Arcane Brotherhood, greets you."
...
Amn, Ashkatra.
Ever since a ship heading south was lost in a storm decades ago and accidentally discovered a new continent called Maztica, this place has become almost the most lively and prosperous port in the entire Coriel.
This is both the starting point and the end point of the caravans, which departed from here to the port on another continent and returned laden with gold and many kinds of strange things.
The development of new colonies has stimulated every Amnian's desire for wealth, and the abundant profits brought by the colonies have also turned Askatra into a veritable 'city of gold coins'.
Even though it was already close to 11 o'clock in the morning, Amn not only did not have the curfew policy of other large city-states, but the lights were still brightly lit.
A three-masted merchant ship with a hammer and a battle ax emblazoned on its canvas slowly docked in Ascatella's port, which was at least several times the size of the City of Water.
It was the Dauntless that had just driven away a group of pirates like a duck.
Since the planned Luskan ghost ship did not take the bait, this is not their final destination, but they will need to make some supplies here and put some more bait appropriately.
As soon as Li Wei walked out of the cabin, he was amazed by the scenery in front of him.
At a glance, as far as the eye can see, the entire harbor is almost filled with countless sailboats of different sizes.
Even though it was almost midnight, there were still many porters busy on the dock just to earn a meager salary of two extra pieces of black bread.
While passing by the slightly dated dock area, the view is almost occupied by a huge temple standing on the northern bay that is as luxurious as a small town.
"That is the golden spire, and it is also the largest temple of wealth in the entire Coril, and the merchants in Amn are almost all followers of Lady Fortune."
Seemingly sensing Levi's doubts, Alyssa, as the captain, opened her mouth to introduce.
Li Wei was slightly stunned. Looking at her slightly intoxicated eyes, one could tell that she was probably a Woking believer herself.
No, he remembered that Xia Lanwei Luosi was also a pan-believer of that big boss.
He turned his head, only to find that the other person's expression was completely different from Alyssa's. There was a sense of...sadness mixed with nostalgia?
Out of politeness, he did not choose to reveal the other person's thoughts at this time.
This is slightly different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that after returning to Amn, Charanvilos would happily invite them to visit her hometown.
Now it seems that her hometown does not seem to bring her good memories.
After Alyssa handed over the supply and patrol tasks to the second mate and Felix respectively, the female captain, who was a veteran at sea, suggested to everyone:
"Why don't we find a tavern to rest for a while?"
For people like them who make a living on the sea all year round, Amn's tavern is almost a must-see when the ship is undergoing supply and maintenance.
It can almost satisfy most of the sailors' needs, namely food, liquor, women and gambling.
Well... in Blue Star's words, it's the so-called eating, drinking, whoring and gambling...
Whether they were sailors or pirates, most of their salaries and stolen wealth were sent to taverns.
Therefore, this often happens to be a very magical phenomenon: the walls of some taverns are clearly covered with numerous reward notices, but some serious owners may be sitting underneath, drinking wine and playing Los Angeles.
And if possible, no one would want to stay in a cramped and musty cabin forever.
"It's exactly what I want, but before that, we have to rearrange a reasonable identity."
Levi spread his hands, then wiped it on his face, and used [Transformation] to change into a gentle human appearance. Then he smiled and bowed slightly to Fisher, who was belatedly aware of it, and said a mage salute.
:
"Teacher Fisher, I am Keanu, your new apprentice in recent years. I have followed you to the sea to gain more knowledge."
Fisher swallowed, and sweat suddenly broke out on his smooth forehead.
It was the first time to see Fisher looking so nervous and confused, which made Xia Lanwei Luosi's slightly disappointed mood improve. She looked up and suddenly had a human face. She followed Li Wei's example and saluted:
"Teacher Fisher, I am Keanu's junior fellow student and your most obedient magic apprentice, Letres."
It is worth mentioning that Xia Lanwei Luosi's cross-dressing image is actually a bookish young man.
Only Levi looked slightly sideways when he heard the name Letres. Isn't this the name of her teacher?
"Boss...Miss Xia Lan...this...is not good..."
Suddenly becoming the 'teacher' of two big men, the red-robed mage from Serre shivered again and sweated even more on his forehead.
Even the sudden teleportation from Serge's laboratory to Zall's dissecting table wasn't so exciting...
And Ai Li, who had come to such a prosperous city-state for the first time, was so excited that his eyes couldn't see enough. If he hadn't been afraid of being punished by Li Wei again, he might have run away without a trace by now.
As soon as she heard that she was going to change her identity to play pretend, she lost the sense of life and death that she felt when she was a Nether magic ship. In recent years, she has regained the chaotic and funny nature of a young demon, and her face is full of eagerness to try.
"What about me? Dad... Oops, Dad, why are you hitting me again..." Just as she said this, Levi escaped and hit her on the back of the head with a two-handed broadsword.
, he immediately held his head and protested a little aggrievedly.
Seeing that the fine steel broadsword that had been tempered by the gray dwarves was bent into an exaggerated U-shape, this rough-skinned and cheap daughter was still alive and kicking except for a swelling on the back of her head.
‘Knock this troublemaker unconscious and throw him into the cabin and let Hotz guard him’ Levi, who planned to go bankrupt, had no choice but to look up to the sky and accept his fate...
This guy's humanoid form resistance is probably even higher than him... Mental spells like [Charm Monster] and [Hypnosis] were useless to her decades ago.
Now it is estimated that only Calvin's psychic spells may be effective on her. Unfortunately, both Calvin and Iger have important responsibilities, and they do not have the time and cost to go on a 'business trip' with them.
"This is the ordnance to be sold to Calishan. Let me check the quality... But you probably don't need to transform. You haven't been seen in public a few times. You've been sleeping longer than me. No one should know you."
you."
