Chapter 340 The Huge Waves in Jujiao Port
The next morning, Bighorn Island Port.
The clouds on the sky have faded from the morning glow and are floating lazily in the sky. The slight sea breeze cannot blow away the heat brought by the early summer sun.
The porters on the dock were like industrious ants, carrying all kinds of goods and materials between ships and warehouses, but many people were whispering in private and looking quietly to the side of the dock.
That's where the pirate ship [Hurricane] docked yesterday, but now it's empty.
If that's the case, that's it. There are pirate ships that only stay for one night and then leave.
Now there were many people gathered around the pier and making noisy noises, which made the porters a little curious.
But they were just curious. When they saw the steward of the dock there, they knew that this matter was not something ordinary people like them could talk about at will.
However, their eye contact was still a bit gloating. After all, although the pirates abide by the rules of this gray port and would not attack ordinary people, they would not take care of themselves if they were reprimanded or kicked a few times. Because there’s so much to say about this.
"Manager Les, you have seen the specific situation. Someone must have taken action against our captain last night!"
"They must have lured Boss Patrick to another place, and then sent someone to take the opportunity to steal our ship!"
"This is in Big Horn Port. We have always abided by the rules here. Now someone is messing around. Do you think you should give us an explanation?"
Derion said to Les, the dock steward who looked calm in front of him. Although his face was not good-looking, he was still trying to suppress his bad temper.
There was no way, he was just a high-level bronze pirate. He finally managed to land ashore yesterday, so he naturally wanted to indulge himself.
As a result, when I woke up, I found that the [Hurricane] was missing.
Moreover, people on the surrounding boats said that they heard the sound of fighting in the middle of the night last night, and some claimed to have seen Boss Patrick fighting with a man.
What should I do now? Should I stay here and wait for the [Hurricane] to come back?
There are many companions like him around, but he is considered the strongest here, so he was pushed out to communicate with the steward at the dock.
This was because the silver pirates on the ship were required by Boss Patrick to return to the ship every day, so he, an ordinary pirate, became the representative.
To be honest, although he believed in Boss Patrick's strength, the strange situation today made him a little uneasy.
You know, Patrick is a Druid who can transform into a giant shark, and he must have an absolute advantage in the battle on the sea.
Even if the [Hurricane] was accidentally stolen while chasing the opponent, he should be back now.
Why has there been no news for so long?
Delion didn't know what happened, but now he could only place his hope on the forces behind the scenes that controlled the Big Horn Port, hoping that they would let the golden man sitting there go find Boss Patrick.
Steward Les nodded repeatedly while listening to Derion's words, while looking at the surrounding scenery.
Ah~ This day is so sunny!
Ah~ this water is so blue!
Well, today is a good day to take out your favorite James wine and enjoy it with fresh tuna.
Seeing Steward Les's pretending to be stupid and fooling around, Delion looked ugly, but he had nothing to do.
There is no way, the steward in front of him also has silver level strength, he doesn't dare to cause trouble.
It was obvious that he didn't want to take care of it and drag this matter on.
Is there any other way?
Derion looked at the eyes his companions were looking at him, and even wanted to threaten Les with Patrick's name, but the ominous premonition in his heart stopped his impulse.
Les glanced at Delion out of the corner of his eye, but his heart felt like a bright mirror.
Doesn't he know what these pirates are thinking?
It is absolutely impossible for Lord Khalil to take action!
What happened last night, the golden strongman Khalil sitting at the port has already noticed.
But it was a battle outside the port, after all, and Khalil didn't want to get involved.
And in his opinion, although the silver-level guy who shot at Patrick was very powerful, he was just a silver, and it was just too troublesome for Patrick to take him down.
So when the two people's breath went away, Khalil didn't care anymore.
But a problem arose. After a while, Khalil felt the silver aura return to the port and appeared at the position of the Hurricane, but did not feel Patrick's aura.
After waiting all night, Khalil found no sign of Patrick coming back, and suddenly he had a ridiculous guess.
So early in the morning, Khalil called Les over and gave him some instructions, asking him to guard the dock today to see if there were any other situations.
Otherwise, Les would have left long ago, and he would not bother to talk to these little pirates.
Seeing Les boringly kicking pebbles from the pier into the sea one by one, causing small splashes of water, Derion couldn't bear it any longer.
"Master Rice, you are not afraid."
Just when Delion wanted to continue trying, he was interrupted by a loud shout from the person next to him.
"Look, is that the [Hurricane]?"
"It's true, let me tell you, nothing will happen to Boss Patrick!"
"Damn it, I wonder if Boss Patrick tortured those damn little thieves last night!"
Listening to the surprised voices of his companions beside him, for some reason, Delion's heart became more and more uneasy.
Seeing the [Hurricane] with its sails approaching rapidly in the distance, he could no longer restrain his instinctive impulse and turned around to leave.
"Mr. Delion, where are you going?"
Steward Les looked at him with a smile, as if he was kindly reminding him:
"The [Hurricane] is back, aren't you waiting to greet your captain?"
"Haha, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something at the tavern yesterday. Shouldn't I hurry and get it?"
"Otherwise, I will be in trouble if I waste Boss Patrick's time."
"Haha, is that so?"
Then Les stopped stopping Delion, looked at his hurried figure, and winked at the man next to him.
His subordinates immediately understood and followed closely.
Rice turned around and looked at the [Hurricane] that was becoming more and more prominent in his field of vision, feeling a little emotional.
Could it be that it's just like Master Khalil said, and that's too exaggerated?
After a while, the [Hurricane] had arrived outside the Big Horn Port pier. The light cyan light on the ship gradually dimmed, and its speed also slowed down.
"Wait, what's that hanging on the bow?"
"A person?"
"Haha, it must be those little thieves from last night!"
"Wait a minute. That's not Boss Patrick, right?"
The pirates on the dock were shouting happily, and an uncertain voice appeared in everyone's ears, with some fear and disbelief in their words.
As the [Hurricane] got closer and closer, more people saw the body hanging on the bow.
A thick hemp rope hung from the neck of a huge and strong body under the bow of the ship, still swinging back and forth slightly.
Although the face could not be seen clearly, the bloody shark tattoo on the corpse's chest showed the true identity of the corpse.
【Blood Shark】Patrick!
The crowd of people watching on the pier instantly became confused. Uninvolved people were shocked that [Blood Shark] Patrick, who had roamed the Pearl Sea for more than ten years, was actually killed. This was something that even the Berdych navy had not done!
As for the pirates who were originally on the [Hurricane], their faces were pale and inexplicably horrified at the moment.
Boss Patrick is dead?
How can this be?
But no matter how unwilling they are to accept it, this is a fact that has happened.
When they turned around to escape, they were stopped by all the men brought by Les.
Although Les was mentally prepared, looking at Patrick's familiar yet lifeless look, a chill still rose in his heart.
Since the opponent can really kill this big pirate, no matter what method he uses, he must have gold-level strength.
For such a strong man, Rice felt that he still had to maintain a certain amount of respect.
When the [Hurricane] cut through the blue sea and stopped ten meters away from the dock, a figure appeared on the bow of the Hurricane.
Charles looked at the crowd on the pier below, and suddenly enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above, and shouted loudly:
"People below, listen, our boss has killed [Blood Shark] Patrick, and [Hurricane] now belongs to our [Eagle Pirates]."
"If you are sensible, hand over all Patrick's men immediately!"
Upon hearing the other party's request, the dock instantly exploded.
"[Eagle Pirates], is that weird pirate group that has been wandering around the Pearl Sea, hunting down pirates?"
"Can you actually kill Patrick?!"
"Then how strong their captain must be!"
Naturally, Les heard Charles' request, but he still said bravely:
"No offense intended, but taking away those people like this is somewhat against the rules of Big Horn Port."
"Please captain, please have a talk with Lord Khalil!"
This is why Khalil asked him to stay here.
In the end, it must be given to others, but it cannot be given away so easily, otherwise the rules that have been established with great effort may be broken.
It would be better to let the other party's captain meet Khalil. On the one hand, he could get to know this new top powerhouse on the Pearl Sea, and on the other hand, he could easily earn a favor.
Give each other face, hello, me, hello everyone!
After hearing what Les said, the man on the boat shrank his head.
Just when Les was feeling a little uneasy, he suddenly felt that the air around him suddenly became dry and hot.
In the horrified gaze of everyone, a huge blue fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the bow of the [Hurricane], floating quietly in the air.
Liquid flames flowed on the fireball, and even from such a distance, Les could feel the terrifying heat and unparalleled power.
This is clearly the strength of the gold level!
Beads of sweat quickly began to form on Les's forehead, and he didn't know whether it was from heat or fear.
"this"
"Listen carefully!"
Charles' head popped out of the bow again and shouted:
"Our captain said, don't talk nonsense and hand over the person quickly, otherwise he will be rude!"
Where did this reckless man come from? Does he know the rules?
Although Les was aggrieved, he didn't dare to move now.
He wasn't sure what to say anymore. The other party really just hit him with a big fireball, and he had no way to deal with it.
At this moment, a sturdy figure appeared on the pier, frowning as he looked at the huge blue fireball in the air.
"Isn't this a little inappropriate?"
Rice looked at the familiar figure that suddenly appeared, then breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
"Lord Khalil, I"
Khalil waved his hand to silence Rice.
To be honest, he felt a little unsure now. As the guardian of this gray seaport, he naturally could not allow anyone to attack the port. He had to appear.
Originally thought it was just a matter of communication, who would have thought that the other party would take action directly?
But looking at the terrifying fireball in front of him, it was obvious that the one who killed Patrick had taken action, but he could not find the other party's location or even his breath.
There was only a group of silver and bronze auras on the [Hurricane] in front of me, and it was definitely not them.
This is much scarier than simply hiding his aura. If he is attacked, he may not even be able to resist.
A moment after Khalil appeared, a figure also appeared on the fireball, looking down at Khalil.
Khalil noticed this figure immediately and looked at it intently.
Li Si's young and handsome face appeared in front of Khalil's eyes, which surprised him.
So young, he looks only about twenty years old.
Khalil couldn't believe it. You must know that only by reaching the level of legendary power can you control the changes in your appearance.
Therefore, unless he used special props, the person in front of him really broke through and became a gold-level powerhouse at the age of twenty.
And it can still kill a senior gold-level existence like Patrick, which is not something that can be achieved by just breaking through the gold level.
The most important thing is, how could such a young gold-level professional have such a simple background!
Khalil had never heard of such a strong young man in the Berdych Kingdom. Could it be that he was from another country?
The most important thing was that even though Li Si appeared in front of him, he still didn't feel Li Si's breath, as if there was just nothingness there.
Is there something wrong with my eyes?
Looking at the quiet blue fireball at Li Si's feet, which contained a volcano that could erupt at any time, Khalil felt a little reluctant to retreat.
"This is the leader here, Khalil. What is your name?"
Khalil took the initiative to show kindness to Li Si, hoping to ease the atmosphere at the dock, which was about to drop to freezing point.
Moreover, Charles had just stated that they were the [Eagle Pirates]. Although the [Eagle Pirates] had gained a reputation on the Pearl Sea before, the identity of their leader was unknown to outsiders.
"Leese Kane, the captain of the [Eagle Pirates]."
Li Si said with a smile, but what he said next surprised Khalil.
"Of course, I am also the Marquis Kane of the Kingdom of Fes."
The Kingdom of Fes! Marquis Kane!
Not only Khalil and the people on the dock, but also Helen, Charles and others who were still watching the show on the Hurricane were stunned.
Helen's white and tender little hands tightly grasped the corners of Charles' clothes and asked softly:
"Uncle Charles, do you know that the master is the Marquis of the Kingdom?"
Charles glanced at Helen and shook his head.
Don't ask me, I don't know anything!
The dock was even more chaotic, and Khalil was even more shocked!
He did not doubt the authenticity of what Li Si said. You must know that such a young gold-level professional is even rarer than the Marquis of the Kingdom.
And this can also explain why Li Si was able to break through to the gold level at such a young age.
You know, the Kingdom of Fes has a legendary mage [Flame of Judgment], and naturally his background as a mage is much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Berdych.
However, that is the Marquis!
The family that Khalil belongs to is just a noble family with the title of marquis.
However, the Kingdom of Fes is currently at war with the Kingdom of Berdych. At such a sensitive time, why would the Marquis of the Kingdom of Fes appear here?
Khalil looked at Li Si and was silent for a moment, unable to stop him from thinking too much.
As the war lasted for more than half a year, many people in the Berdych Kingdom had already recognized the facts.
Without the Church of the Gods taking action, the Kingdom of Berdych is no longer able to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Fes, and its demise is only a matter of time.
Even though the front line of the battlefield is still in a stalemate on the Huangshi City side, judging from the fact that the Berdych Kingdom has deployed naval troops to the front line, the situation is already quite bad.
Many coastal nobles are already transferring their wealth and preparing for a retreat.
Khalil was also one of the important participants, so when facing a Marquis from the Kingdom of Fes, he was a little numb.
"Even if you are the Marquis of Fes, you cannot break the rules of Big Horn Port at will."
After hesitating for a moment, Khalil said to Li Si.
There was no way. The port of Jujiao Port was the most important retreat route prepared by the family. He couldn't let Li Si take action so easily.
Even if he was ready to make a deal with Li Si before, he still had to go through the motions.
The corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly, and he gently waved the jade staff in his hand.
To be honest, he didn't care about Khalil's attitude.
After all, he is here to cause trouble today!
If the other party's attitude is too good, he won't be able to take action directly. This is just the right time!
He knew that after the fall of the Berdych Kingdom, most of the Berdych nobles fled to the south, and the rest entered the Pearl Sea.
Although the nobles of the Berdych Kingdom were all rotten goods, their reaction when they realized the danger of destruction was quite quick.
Nowadays, the important island ports on the Pearl Sea are basically under the control of those coastal nobles.
Even some pirates are controlled remotely by nobles.
This is not possible!
The Pearl Sea is regarded by Li Si as his own backyard. Although he will not destroy these surviving nobles, there must be some suppression and cooperation.
The premise of all this is to scare these people first.
Lay the foundation for your future declaration of sovereignty!
"Since you say so, then"
As Li Si spoke, the fireball under his feet suddenly started and smashed in the direction of Khalil.
Khalil was a little surprised and hurriedly drew his sword and slashed at the falling fireball.
No, you take action when you disagree. Are you really a noble?
But before the words left his mouth, he was choked back by the terrifying heat in front of him.
Khalil didn't dare to be careless. The earth-yellow fighting spirit clung to the long sword and slashed towards the falling fireball.
The golden warrior's fighting spirit can break through spells, which is what high-level warriors rely on when fighting spellcasting professionals.
The blue fireball was cut directly from it by Khalil, and fine streams of fire fell in all directions.
Most of them fell into the sea, but a lot of them landed on people and cargo on the dock and spread quickly.
"Your Excellency Li Si, aren't you going a little too far?"
Khalil looked at Li Si with an angry face, as if he was going to attack Li Si without giving an explanation.
"Actually, I can go further!"
Li Si didn't pay attention and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Khalil saw a blue halo flashing around Li Si.
Rumble~
Deafening sounds began to echo in the ears, as if a natural disaster was coming, making everyone feel as if their hearts were being squeezed tightly.
The water under the pier began to recede, revealing the beach mixed with shells and crabs and the rotten, dark wooden piles that penetrated into the seawater under the pier.
In front of everyone's eyes, the endless sea water began to surge, and the huge waves gradually rose and lifted as if it went against common sense.
Les and the others on the pier looked horrified, looking pale as the huge blue waves in front of them lifted Les to a height of ten, twenty, and finally thirty meters in the air.
The giant waves hundreds of meters long were just stagnant in the mid-air. Just the overwhelming impact and the unspeakable sense of oppression made everyone on the pier breathless.
The [Hurricane] rose into the sky together with the waves. Helen's eyes were full of energy. She held the side of the ship tightly with both hands and looked at Li Si with a bit of eagerness.
People who have been living by the sea and making a living in the sea know that the sea is not as calm and easy-going as it usually seems. Terrifying hurricanes and huge waves can bring endless pain to people living by the sea.
That is a natural disaster that cannot be resisted by humans!
Les was a little better, but his thighs were shaking uncontrollably, and more people were kneeling on the ground, praying to the gods with pale faces.
Even the pirates who were controlled were the same. Even after being released, they forgot to escape and fell to the ground. A few of them even peed their pants.
Khalil looked at the scene in front of him, his face stiffened and turned pale.
He felt a little proud after just breaking Li Si's spell, but now he was sweating a little when facing the terrifying scene.
Even though he, as a gold-level warrior, could survive the attack of this terrifying tsunami, there was no need to think that the Bighorn Port behind him would be directly razed to the ground.
This was something he couldn't accept.
Now he wants to travel through time and space and give himself a slap in the face ten minutes ago. People are under control, so why not give him so much trouble?
It's okay now, I'm completely in trouble!
Khalil was very sure that he seemed to have felt the breath of the extraordinary realm from Li Si just now.
He felt a little cold on his scalp, thinking of Patrick's body still hanging on the bow of the [Hurricane].
What an idiot I am!
This guy was the one who directly killed Patrick. It’s not surprising that he mastered the extraordinary realm!
Looking at Li Si who was smiling on the giant tsunami, Khalil put away his sword, rubbed his two thick palms in front of him, and said with a flattering smile:
"Honorable Marquis Kane, I just made a little joke with you, please forgive me for my presumption!"
"I've got those people under control, please take them away."
"I'm not familiar with them!"
Khalil is very conscientious and helps the boss with things, how can he be called a coward?
