Chapter 810 The Destruction of Pirates Arriving at Keldro Port
Today, Geralt finally discovered a very strange characteristic of Xie Yuan - moody and erratic - sometimes he would deal with people and things very patiently... but sometimes he would deal with all the people and things he encountered irritably.
thing.
For example, when I first entered Velen, my behavior was very different from when I left Velen; the same was true in Novigrad. At first, I was as calm as an old dog, but later I suddenly seemed to lose my composure and used very violent tactics.
Means killed the pursuing witch hunter.
And this time on the ship, Geralt once again saw Xie Yuan's tricks.
In the second half of the night, when it was almost three or four o'clock in the morning, as expected, the sentry who acted as an observer from the mast sent out a signal to warn: A ship is following!
The captain immediately gathered the sleeping crew on board, opened the armory, and took out slingshots, short hunting bows, bundles of ten javelins, and kerosene.
The sound soon alarmed Margarita, who was sleeping lightly in the cabin... Unfortunately, the physical and mental pain caused by torture is not easy to heal. Until now, Margarita is easily disturbed by the slightest movement.
Wake up with a start and require tossing and turning for a long time.
Something that is not well-known is... when Margarita can sleep well, it is when she and Xie Yuan sleep in the same bed - it seems to her that she is lying next to him, smelling his
The smell will feel a little inexplicably peaceful.
Soon Margarita opened the door with a wary look on her face, and Xie Yuan noticed that one of her hands was covering it up, and it was a little bright inside... This was a starting point for fire magic.
Geralt once told Xie Yuan that among the members of the sorceress gathering, many people have great talents and abilities, and these are the elites among the sorceresses.
But even among this group of elites, there are some who are the best: Philippa Earhart, whose strength, brains, temperament, and knowledge reserves are well balanced and very rich; the Blue Mountain Elf, who is knowledgeable and unpredictable.
The sage Ada Emin and the most beautiful elf queen Francesca in the world have half-elf blood. Before Siliya joined the sorceress coven, the youngest member of the sorceress association, Yennefer of Vengerberg.
But when it comes to the sorceress who has the largest mana reserves and the longest battery life, Margarita is the only one among them. This is a blood cow who can maintain a multi-person information transmission magic circle for a long time without any abnormalities.
After seeing Xie Yuan, the wary Margarita relaxed, dissipated the magic flame on her hand, and asked kindly, "Yuan, what happened?"
"A group of reckless pirates came to rob the ship...don't worry," Xie Yuan gently smoothed Margarita's hair, "it can be dealt with in a short time, just relax and calm down."
After whispering some thoughtful words in Margarita's ear, Margarita returned to laziness and just warned Xie Yuan: "Be careful. Although they can't do anything to you, many strong people fall into simple traps.
There are also countless.”
After saying that, he closed the hatch.
Of course, it was not Xie Yuan's concern whether Margarita was using any spells to prepare herself in the house or whether she was really planning to sleep. He soon came to Geralt's side.
Geralt was looking into the distance beside the ship. Although the pirate ship was beyond the range of normal human eyesight, this did not include demon hunters like Geralt.
When Geralt saw Xie Yuan's arrival, he was shocked by the strange equipment on his body - he held a huge bow with a length of 1.6 meters in his hand, and there were quivers on the left and right sides of his waist.
, each quiver contains about twenty arrows.
But ordinary arrows are not uncommon, but what is strange is that each of these arrows is more than one meter long, with a thick arrow shaft as thick as a little finger, and is equipped with long arrow feathers - this is very rare here.
of heavy arrows.
But looking at the huge curved bow in Xie Yuan's hand, Geralt was not surprised - such a huge bow indeed requires such big arrows.
It's just that... the green, matte metal tube hanging hanging between Xie Yuan's chest makes people feel strange - it seems to be completely different from the giant bow.
"What a big bow!" Geralt looked at the cavalry in Xie Yuan's hands and praised him with his clear bow, "Is this your Eastern long-range weapon?"
"Yes." Xie Yuan nodded and looked at the bow in his hand with affection, "This is a sinew recurved compound bow created by a fishing and hunting nation - this is the bow used by their cavalry."
"It looks very new." Geralt looked at the bow stand and felt that the bow had not been used much.
In the end, Xie Yuan also admitted this: "Of course, I haven't used it since I bought it. I happened to meet this group of pirates today, so I gave it a try."
"What?!" Geralt felt incredible and asked worriedly, "You said you have never used this bow before?! Then...then can you use a bow?"
"Hahaha," Xie Yuan laughed when he heard this, "Why would I buy a bow if I don't know how to use it? Of course I can use it, after all... If an army general can't use a bow and arrow, what's the point of being promoted?"
In fact, during the long process of traveling around the world, it has now become Xie Yuan's instinct to constantly try new skills and absorb new knowledge - otherwise, with time and experience, coupled with the early use of universal tools and the later stage of artificial intelligence assistance
What can you do with the huge wealth you earn?
Of course, using money to make money, purchasing real estate, and investing in industries that can generate stable and healthy profits is one thing, and using technology acquired from other worlds to gain technological advantages in the same industry and expand savings capabilities is another thing - but it is also
That's all. After all, a world cannot be completely open, and this kind of confidentiality cannot be kept.
And if you can only do this, then the remaining wealth and resources cannot be used for boring things like changing women every day and taking turns falling asleep!
Therefore, Xie Yuan had no choice but to take time to learn fighting skills and read technical classics from the past to the present, so as to improve himself and pass the time at the same time.
In fact, because there is no specific goal that must be achieved, Xie Yuan does not follow the specialization route. In terms of fighting, it is enough to reach the master level, and in terms of technology, it is enough to see it roughly.
Therefore, Xie Yuan is really good at skills like archery, and his level is not bad... But to say how good he is, it can only be said that he is about the same as an elite archer in the army, but it cannot be said to be a superb level.
.
Well, although Xie Yuan's answer actually made the demon hunter frown a little, but since Xie Yuan had the confidence to speak, he naturally chose to believe it, and then looked at the green tube on Xie Yuan's chest: "What about this? This again
What is it?"
"Well... you can just think of it as an explosive that can be thrown over." Xie Yuan didn't want to explain too much.
"Oh!" Geralt understood, but this is also a good thing. After all, if you really can't defeat the enemy, it is also a wise choice to use a bomb to repel the enemy.
It's a pity that Geralt doesn't understand at all that this thing is completely different from his honeycomb bomb.
As the pirate ship got closer and closer, Xie Yuan also suggested to the captain: "How about I give you a verbal warning first?"
The captain stared at Xie Yuan with wide eyes, probably not expecting such an operation... After all, once the two ships meet, do you want the pirate ship to give up the robbery? Unless the difference in tonnage is too big, it is usually impossible.
Seeing the captain's confusion and embarrassment, Xie Yuanze patted his chest and promised that his loud voice would be heard by the other party.
In fact, I sincerely hope that my warning will make these idiots retreat... You know, the M-72 Xie Yuan is carrying now is an M72E10 - an improved launcher that can use high-explosive fragmentation rockets.
.
This thing can penetrate 20 centimeters of vehicle armor, 60 centimeters of reinforced concrete, or 1.8 meters of soil - this seems insignificant in terms of modern armor capabilities, but the opposite is just a wooden ship... The cannon is killing mosquitoes.
.
"Guys on the other side, listen up!!!"
Xie Yuan was so angry that he used the lion's roar technique to make his voice rich and loud. At least Geralt was a little tired at this time, but when he heard Xie Yuan's voice, he wanted to have a basin of cold water poured on his head.
Just woke up.
"We have discovered your existence and have made preparations. If you dare to persist in your stubbornness again, don't blame me for using thunderous means!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Geralt: "Generally speaking, what is the number of people passing by?"
"What?" Geralt was confused.
"It's just tolls." Xie Yuan had no choice but to say bluntly.
"There is no such rule." Geralt shook his head, "Generally speaking, whether bandits or pirates, they want to kill all the people and steal the goods."
"..." Xie Yuan pursed his lips silently, then looked at the captain, and got the same answer.
"Well, it's no wonder that every bandit or deserter likes to shout and kill me when they see me - it's true that young and Dangerous boys don't have brains and have been flying airplanes all their lives." Xie Yuan said with emotion.
"What is Young and Dangerous?" Geralt asked curiously after hearing the new words, "What is a plane?"
"Oh... the term "Young and Dangerous" is equivalent to the gangsters on the streets of Novigrad," Xie Yuan explained casually, "Planes are a means of transportation, a thing that flies in the sky, but it is difficult to turn and basically has to maintain a straight line...
So if a gangster lives like a plane all his life, I don’t need to explain what that means.”
But soon Xie Yuan's expression became solemn and livid. The reason was that after hearing Xie Yuan's announcement, the boat on the other side not only did not retreat, but instead intensified the insults towards Xie Yuan like greeting family members, and even
They also announced that they would cut off Xie Yuan's limbs and tie him to the bow of the ship to use as a trumpet.
And the speed of their ship is getting faster and faster. Xie Yuan's eyes can even see their mocking expressions like looking at fools, mixed with contempt... It seems that Xie Yuan's words are timid to them?
"Huh huh... Well, I had the intention to let them go, but they actually took it as a sign of weakness and took advantage of me... Well, it seems that they really deserve to die."
After thinking about it, Xie Yuan did not remain reserved in the end, but handed the giant bow to Geralt. The white wolf who took the bow looked at Xie Yuan in confusion as he raised the green tube: "If you plan to teach them a lesson, why?"
Why do you still need to bring this bow? Isn’t this unnecessary?”
Xie Yuan smiled and did not answer, but in Geralt's heart, he heard Xie Yuan's thoughts: "The arrows fired from this bow can pierce several people at once - this is for the people on this ship to see.
.
But this thing in my hand... I really don't want to use it like this, it's too cruel - but they forced me to do so!"
Xie Yuan did not continue to speak in his heart, but opened the sleeve and opened a sight-like thing. He then turned around and waved his hand to clear the people standing behind him, and then directly pressed a button on the sleeve -
-"puff!"
"Ouch!!!" Several sailors who were not far enough away and wanted to see the excitement were immediately knocked over by a huge wave of air - they were overturned by the recoil of the M72.
But this was just a little bump. Apart from Xie Yuan and Geralt being a little frightened, there were actually no serious injuries.
But the 66mm caliber rocket that was launched had already shot into the cabin with a sharp "chirp" sound as it rubbed against the air and a "bang!" sound.
Then with a "Bang!" sound, a huge orange fireball rose directly into the sky, illuminating the entire surrounding night sky.
"Wow!" Even if someone fell down, they were still looking at the huge orange fireball that was rising. Even Geralt and Margarita who opened the door after hearing the news were shocked by such a dazzling ball of light.
Living.
After all, this is the first time something has appeared in this world.
It's a pity that this kind of beauty is fleeting - the next moment, what is displayed in front of people is a ship frame that is burning violently. This thing was beaten to pieces the moment the explosion unfolded.
The billowing smoke was rising, but there was not even a cry for help or a cry from around... It seemed that everyone died in the dazzling light.
"Gulu..." There were many voices in the crowd swallowing their saliva.
"Pitter patter..." Some people even peed.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but frowned, touched his nose, then twisted his hands forward and backward, and with a "crunch", the tube was twisted into a twist.
"Okay! The ship has been burned to ashes. There is no need to rescue people. Let's set sail quickly!"
"Plop!" Xie Yuan turned around and threw the tube into the sea, and then told everyone to set sail quickly and stop sitting here. After finishing, he directly held Margarita's waist and returned to the cabin -
—Just lying down.
The captain was aroused by the shouting. He took a look at the burning position of the ship's frame and immediately called out to the sailors who had just been frightened by the tragedy of the explosion: "Why are you still standing here?! The pirates are already dead.
, hurry up and wriggle your lazy butts, raise the sails and set sail!"
Geralt, on the other hand, looked at the gradually shrinking scene of the incident and fell into deep thought.
According to the actual distance, the journey from Novigrad to Keldro Port in the Skellige Islands is not far. By the early morning of the next day, a palace standing on a high mountain was already in Xie Yuan's sight.
It’s vivid in my mind.
But Xie Yuan, the others, and even Captain Kimberly's ship cannot dock at Keldro Port, at least not for the time being.
Because a sea burial unique to the islanders is currently being held on the island, and the protagonist of this funeral is actually the old master of the Skellige Islands—King Bran.
Hmm... It seems that this time it is inevitably related to the change of power.
