Chapter 393: Ghost Tide
The sailboat can sail out of the Howling Sea by heading northeast from the Rapids Island. The land that can be seen in the south is the northwest of the Wushan Mountains.
Using this land as a reference and heading east, you will reach the northern part of Wubei Territory.
In terms of the overall voyage, even without Carlos’s guidance, with the help of the telescope, the probability of deviation is not high.
Ronin chose to follow this time, on the one hand, considering that this is the first time with commemorative value, and on the other hand, for safety reasons.
After giving several suggestions on the direction, he went into the room of the passenger ship to study the design of the steam engine and "a steam engine manufacturing plan based on the fourth-level flame light column magic".
Recently, as he has mastered the core fire, he has been able to shape slightly larger iron devices.
Moreover, as he becomes more and more proficient in operation, the strength of the device is gradually increasing.
Presumably, it will be a while before he can carry out experiments on small steam engines.
Now that Wubei has coal mines, there is no shortage of resources, but magic has the characteristics of releasing more heat faster and in a shorter time. Combining the two methods may not be a bad idea.
On the second day of sailing, perhaps because of the favorable wind, they have already left the Howling Sea.
"My Lord!"
Lu Sen knocked on Roning's door, "There is something going on outside."
Hmm?
Roning put away all the manuscripts on the small table and walked out of the room, "What's going on?"
Lu Sen reported: "I just checked the sea ahead with a telescope and found that there are two ships approaching us in the northwest of the direction. From the map, there is no continent or island in that direction, so there should be no ships."
Roning frowned slightly, "Let's go, take me to see."
The two came to the deck, Roning took out the telescope, adjusted the distance of the eyepiece, and saw the appearance of the approaching ship a little more clearly.
Those were two ships similar to the passenger ship they were on, flying white flags with a black skull painted on them.
"Vic."
"Sir, give your orders!" Captain Vic immediately ran over.
"White flag and black skull, what kind of flag is it?"
Ronin asked, "Blood Sail or Ghost Tide?"
He could only think of island groups active in the Howling Sea that would fly such a flag.
Vic was shocked when he heard it.
"Sir, this is the flag of the Ghost Tide Pirates!"
He looked at the approaching ship in front of him, but the distance between the two sides was still a little far, so he couldn't see the specific content of the flag.
Although he was born in the White Whale Pirates, he was still afraid of pirates.
Ronin's mouth curled up slightly: "Interesting!"
He put away the telescope, "Lucen, you let the people on the ship be alert, I'll go meet them."
"Sir..."
Lucen was about to ask the lord to act with them, so it would be safer.
But he thought of the giant dragon in the sky and that the lord himself was a great magician, so he held back the words he hadn't said.
Ronin used the Wings of Wind, and then instantly cast a speed magic on himself. As his mind moved, the whole person flew out like an arrow from a string.
Seeing this scene, Lu Sen and the crew all showed envy and admiration.
If they could fly, would they be as cool as the Lord?
Roning chose to take the initiative, mainly because he didn't want the pirates to get close to his ship.
After all, once the distance is close, a carelessness will allow the other party to blow a hole in his passenger ship or cargo ship, just like Dennis No. 3, then Roning's loss will be too great.
"This pirate group is also a good person. Knowing that I don't have enough ships, they insist on giving me such a heavy gift on this vast ocean!"
At this moment, on the two ships of the Ghost Tide Pirate Group, the person in charge was looking at the ships on the sea in the distance.
"Everyone get ready, wait until you get close to 100 meters, and directly bombard their ships with magic energy!"
A big bearded man shouted loudly: "We don't need to board the ship to rob, we just need to blow a hole in their ship and sink it!"
"Sink!"
"Sink!"
"Sink!"
It seems to be an exciting thing, and the knights and sailors on the ship cheered happily.
Several knights have pushed out the magic cannons.
The magic cannon on one ship can release ice cones, just like the magic cannon of the White Whale Pirates that attacked Ronin;
The magic cannon on another ship can release the fourth-level wind magic tear, which is used on the sails of enemy ships.
As they shouted loudly, Ronin's figure slowly landed on the deck.
Suddenly, everyone's throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand.
Ronin had a faint smile on his face: "Do you mind if I watch how you blow up the ship?"
"Big... big... big..."
Dick, the leader of the Ghost Tide Pirates, pointed at Ronin and said in shock like a stutter.
"Yes, I am the Great Magician."
Ronin said: "I want to know, under whose orders did you intercept my ship here?"
Dick finally straightened his tongue, "My lord, this is all a misunderstanding. We happened to pass by here, we..."
Whoosh!
A wind blade flashed across Dick's face, and he felt his cheeks getting hot. He couldn't help but touch his hand and found blood on it. He touched it again and found that his left ear was cut off!
"I don't want to waste time talking to you."
Ronin said coldly: "Who told you to intercept the ship from Rapid Island here? Myron Fleming?"
He didn't believe that the Ghost Tide Pirates would appear here by chance.
"I'll fight you!"
Dick drew the long sword from his waist. Knowing that he couldn't escape, he didn't care and tried to get close to Ronin.
In his opinion, as long as he got close, even if the opponent was a great magician, he would have a chance to be killed by the Golden Knight.
Whoosh!
Dick was very fast, but Ronin's reaction was faster.
He quickly dodged the opponent's sword, then raised his leg quickly, and hit the opponent's abdomen with his knee. At the same time, he swung his right fist on the opponent's chin, directly breaking the opponent's jaw.
Dick didn't know what happened, so he fell on the deck, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
A Golden Knight rushed towards the Silver Moon Knight in a panic, which was no different from seeking death.
"Run!"
Seeing this situation, Nasi, the deputy leader on another ship, didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately shouted to the captain to turn around and evacuate.
But at this moment, there seemed to be a giant beast roaring in his ears, and the hot breath made him stiff all over.
"Ah!!!"
"Monster!"
"Flying monster!"
The panicked roar conveyed their panic. The crew members didn't even dare to control the ship. They looked at the huge monster in the air with fear.
Naxi slowly twisted his stiff neck and looked back, but saw a monster of more than ten meters in the air staring at him with extremely cold eyes.
"Oh... God, what the hell is this thing!"
Naxi's eyes rolled up and he fainted on the deck.
Carlos spit out a breath of icy earth, letting the other party die quietly in the freezing.
The public appearance of the dragon not only panicked the Ghost Tide Pirates, but also shocked the people on the two ships of the Rapids Island.
"Don't panic, this is the Lord's monster!"
Lucen shouted: "It won't hurt us!"
The panicked shouts of the crowd gradually stopped, and turned into an unbelievable look.
"Oh my God, this thing actually belongs to the Lord!"
Someone shouted.
Everyone was relieved and shocked, and their eyes were filled with awe for Ronin.
Ronin bent down and picked up the long sword that Dick had dropped, and put it on his neck, "Tell me the answer, or I will turn you into dragon feces."
"I, I..."
Dick was so nervous that he almost cried. If he had known that this would be the result, he would never leave the Howling Sea.
"Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me, it was Joss who made me do all this!"
Joss?
Ronin frowned, he was not familiar with this name. (End of this chapter)
