After being scolded by Caroline, Chu Nan continued to inspect the devastated port. It was the closest to the seaside, so it was also the most violently bombarded by pirate artillery fire. Most of the ships parked in the port were already under the pirate's control.
Under the gunfire, it turned into pieces of charred black broken boards, floating in the water. It is conceivable that the player's ship that was anchored in Eastwatch Port last night suffered heavy losses.
It can only be said that the time the pirates chose to attack was too harsh. If it had been during the day, the situation might have been much better. Even if the defense force of Eastwatch was relatively weak, the owners of the ships parked in the harbor would protect themselves instead of
It was a scene in front of me where almost everyone was ruined.
Despite this, the pirates were still repelled, at least for now. Chu Nan looked around and could no longer see any trace of the pirate ship on the sea.
At this time, a patrolling NPC guard happened to come over. He also looked miserable after being baptized by gunfire.
"Mayor, I finally see you." He greeted happily, but in Chu Nan's ears, he didn't know whether it was sarcasm or not. He only heard the patrol guard continue to say, "If it weren't for dawn, the pirates
They suddenly evacuated on their own, and I don’t know if our Eastwatch defense force can survive it.”
After hearing what he said, Chu Nan frowned immediately and couldn't help but ask: "Did the pirates evacuate on their own? Were they not repulsed by you?"
The guard said with certainty: "Of course not. It was dark last night, and there was heavy fog on the sea. No one was prepared at all. More than a dozen pirate ships suddenly appeared like ghosts outside our port.
It wasn't until a round of artillery bombardment that they realized that pirates were invading again. The town guards and Lady Caroline immediately organized a defense, but the effect was not great. The whole coast of the port was destroyed by pirate cannons.
, there were some losses in the town, but then when everyone was almost unable to hold on, the pirates suddenly left again, I don’t know why.”
If they were repelled, the pirates should not come back in a short period of time, but running away in the middle of the fight was not like the style of pirates. A cloud of doubt immediately arose in Chu Nan's mind, and he felt that it was necessary to conduct a further investigation.
, otherwise, if he comes here in the middle of the night every night, he is not the Zero Emperor.
Chu Nan continued to walk forward and saw the NPC Cuihua and his wife who lived near the port with sad faces. They lived near the port. Their house and the fishing boats they relied on for survival were all turned into a pile of wreckage in the pirate attack.
There is a player who is talking to Cuihua and his wife, and seems to be accepting a mission.
Chu Nan vaguely heard the word "help", so he also walked up. Sure enough, Cuihua and his wife, who had suffered heavy losses, had nothing to do and were begging people passing by to donate to them. Naturally, Chu Nan didn't
Being stingy, I donated 20 gold coins to them, which was the necessary investment to trigger the mission.
"Thank you mayor for your generosity." Cuihua's husband Erniu said gratefully, "This money should be enough for us to live for a while. I have to find a way to get another fishing boat, but I don't dare to go to sea again during this time.
.”
"Why?" Chu Nan asked curiously, his intuition telling him that there was a lot to learn here.
I saw Erniu God whispering mysteriously: "I tell you, I encountered a strange thing yesterday. I always go out to sea very early to fish, before dawn. Who knows that not long after I went out to sea, I met someone face to face?
There was a very thick fog blowing. People like me who live in the sea have never seen any weather phenomena, so I didn’t care and continued to drive into the fog. But suddenly, I saw a thick fog.
A huge ship appeared in it." Erniu gestured exaggeratedly, "It was bigger than any ship I had ever seen in my life. I was frightened at the time, because the huge ship was coming towards me.
And because of the fog, it was already very close to me when I found it. How could my small fishing boat withstand the impact of such a giant ship? So I shouted as hard as I could to warn the boat.
There were people there, but the boat was quiet, and there was no response at all. Only the lights on the boat were shaking in the fog, which was indescribably weird. I thought at that time, my life is going to be handed over here, so I just
I closed my eyes, and at that time I thought of my wife Cuihua, a lonely person for the rest of my life... Then, just when I felt that the giant ship was about to hit me, the surrounding temperature seemed to
It dropped a lot all of a sudden. It was so cold that all the hairs on my body stood up. Then, I felt as if something was passing through me. I was so scared that I quickly opened my eyes. There was no huge ship in front of me. When I looked back, there was nothing behind me either.
Even the strange fog suddenly disappeared. At this time, the sun came out, and I was wondering if I was dazzled just now or was I dreaming? Do you think that was something weird? "
Strange fog, huge ship, suddenly disappeared?
Chu Nan couldn't tell if he had made any profit from the 20 gold coins, but he could vaguely connect it with the pirates' raid in the middle of the night, because the patrolling guard just now also mentioned that the sea on the sea at night
There was heavy fog, and the pirates suddenly evacuated at dawn. This is somewhat similar to what Er Niu said about the huge ship that suddenly disappeared after the sun came up.
Before the sun came out at dawn, there was heavy fog on the sea. These were two prerequisites. He decided to go to sea at night in the next game world to investigate this strange thing.
Chu Nan turned down the leveling planned for today. Although Aotu Man was quite dissatisfied with this, once he heard that Eastwatch by the Sea was attacked by pirates last night, he agreed with Chu Nan to deal with the matter first.
If he wants to go to sea, he must first get a ship, because the ships he owned were also destroyed in the bombardment of this pirate raid. Now, whether it is to Seagull Town or Volcanic Island, all routes are blocked. This is terrible.
Not a good thing.
Chu Nan used part of Eastwatch's income to renovate the buildings destroyed by pirates, including the dock. In this way, he could rent a boat, and then go out to sea to snatch a pirate ship back. In this game world, there is no fool
He would spend a large amount of gold coins to buy a ship in the dock. Because the price was very high, it was much more cost-effective to rob it directly from the pirates. But what left Chu Nan speechless was that he drove the rented boat to the far sea area and waited.
After a long time, there was not even a shadow of a pirate ship, but the sea monsters that kept jumping out to attack him made him very annoyed.
