Chapter 311 Skeleton Killer
After leaving the hunter camp, Yang Yi went to the inn as usual to prepare for a good meal.
Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and Ratchet Town has changed its appearance under the arrangement of the deputy mayor, Old Blind Eye.
Old Blind Eye has a very straightforward aesthetic view. In his eyes, the more colors, the better.
In addition to the colorful lights of various shapes brought by the goblin merchants, various colors of cloth, leather, metal, coral, shells, etc. are all strung together and hung high on the buildings, making people dazzled.
Colorful, colorful, gorgeous, colorful... In short, any words that can express many colors can be used to describe Ratchet Town at this time.
Because Yang Yi gave the fishmen in the town a Spring Festival holiday, except for some fishmen in charge of guarding, other fishmen who were busy all day began to let themselves go.
Eating is always the main theme of fishmen. At this time, the Ratchet Town Inn was surrounded by foodie fishmen. The fishmen who couldn't eat delicious food had already started to bite their fingers anxiously.
Yang Yi saw that this was not going to work. On such a good day, everyone must enjoy delicious food together. He asked people to go in and call out all the chefs in the inn.
"During the Spring Festival, all fishman chefs will only cook easy-to-cook food. The key is to cook in large quantities. In addition, set up a temporary stove outside the inn so that all chef apprentices can cook and ensure that all fishmen in the town can eat delicious food." Yang Yi announced loudly.
"The mayor is wise!"
"Long live the mayor!"
"Mula gaga gaga!"
The fishmen who couldn't squeeze into the inn cheered loudly and were deeply moved by the mayor's wise decision.
The fishmen in the town can only eat large quantities of food, and Yang Yi, the mayor of a distinguished status, is certainly not limited to this. He entered the inn, ordered a table of good wine and food, and had a comfortable meal.
After dinner, he walked out of the inn. It was already dark outside.
The colorful lights arranged for the Spring Festival were lit one by one, and the lights in Ratchet Town were brilliant, giving the feeling of a city that never sleeps.
The fishmen who had been sleeping at sunset for a long time saw so many lights at night for the first time. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep and walked around the town curiously.
The town's nursery was also on holiday, so the little fishmen didn't need to go to bed on time. They ran around the town in groups, causing chaos wherever they went.
During the Spring Festival, Ratchet Town would set off fireworks on the beach every night to celebrate. Tonight was the first day of the fireworks show.
Yang Yi called the two little fishmen, Benbolba and Mojimus, to go to the beach together. Tonight, he, as the mayor, would be responsible for lighting the fireworks as the opening.
The beach tonight was also decorated with bright lights. Because there was an advance notice of the fireworks show, the beach was crowded with fishmen everywhere.
There was a row of large barrels on the beach, and the barrels were all filled with [Autumn Acorn Wine].
[Autumn Acorn Wine] Level 1, the main material for brewing this wine is the oak fruit from the Ash Valley. This is the largest production of wine in the Ratchet Town Brewery and it is also the cheapest wine.
The fishmen toasted enthusiastically at the wine table around the big wine barrel, drinking in big gulps.
At this time, the alcoholic Jia Gu was indispensable. When Yang Yi arrived at the beach, this Jinyu man was already drunk.
Yang Yi saw Jia Gu staggering towards a wine table full of wine glasses, and then filling his conch with wine one cup after another, and it seemed that he had not drunk enough.
A group of small fishmen who were looking around were also mixed in with the adult fishmen. They gathered around the wine table, blinking their big eyes and watching the adult fishmen drinking, trying to ask for some leftover wine.
When these little guys saw Yang Yi coming, they immediately ran away and scattered like birds and beasts.
Yang Yi looked closely and found that there were little Naga and Guji Gudong sisters in the fleeing team.
For the intellectual development of fishmen, Yang Yi has stipulated that small fishmen are not allowed to drink.
But there are always some little guys who violate the rules and look for opportunities to steal wine. Every time they are caught by the patrolling fishmen, they will be dragged and beaten until their little butts bloom.
The dwarf engineer, Greysu, had been waiting on the beach for a long time.
"Good evening, my boss, Greysu salutes you." Greysu saluted Yang Yi as usual with a standard dwarf salute.
"Good evening, Greysu." Yang Yi returned the salute, "Is the fireworks show ready tonight?"
"Yes, boss. After this period of hard work, Greysu has built two more fireworks cluster launchers. Tonight's fireworks show will be completed by these three fireworks cluster launchers." Greysu introduced proudly.
When Yang Yi came over, he had already found that there were three fireworks cluster launchers on the beach, and there was a fishman sitting on the control panel of each fireworks cluster launcher.
These three fishmen were all fishman engineers who had just been promoted. They were students taught by the two hired goblin engineers.
The fishmen watching on the beach were already looking forward to it. Yang Yi did not delay and quickly lit the fire line with a flint.
Tonight's fire line was specially prepared by Greysu. After the fire line was lit, it was divided into three flames and drilled into the three fireworks cluster launchers at the same time.
The three fishman engineers quickly controlled the launcher and aimed it at their respective airspaces.
Bang, bang, bang.
Three fireworks burst into the night sky at high speed.
Boom, boom, boom...
The golden fireworks illuminated the night, and at this moment the entire Ratchet Town was as bright as day.
Yang Yi looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky. This time the fireworks were not as colorful as the last time. There was only one color in the night sky, that is, gold.
The golden fireworks formed three large images, which were three grinning fishman heads.
The golden fishman head, needless to say, is the awesome mayor of Ratchet Town.
When the fishmen saw the mayor's head appear in the air, they cheered like thunder, and the fishmen's palms were about to break.
The fireworks continued to be launched.
Due to the limited preparation time, Greysu only completed the new fireworks show of the boss's head.
The next fireworks show was the same as the last one.
Three mechanical road bullies...
Three siege tanks...
Three turbo-accelerated aircraft...
The proud products of dwarf engineering took turns to appear, lighting up the night sky again and again.
The fireworks launchers tonight performed very well, and no accidents occurred.
Boom, boom, boom...
The continuous roars covered the cheers of the fishmen.
The fireworks launcher invented by Dr. Vivier is really awesome. This fireworks show is more exciting than the last one because two launchers were added, but the explosion was also louder than the last time.
Yang Yi was very satisfied with the fireworks show tonight. What he was most satisfied with was his head composed of fireworks.
I didn't expect that the dwarf engineer Greysu, who usually looks like he only knows how to do engineering research, is also good at flattering.
After the fireworks show, the goblin merchant Rizarex took the opportunity to set up a stall on the beach to sell Spring Festival goods.
The most popular Spring Festival goods brought by Rizarex are fireworks and firecrackers. Although these fireworks he brought are completely different from the fireworks show just now, they are still very popular with the fishmen, and the business is very hot.
Fireworks and firecrackers are set off everywhere on the beach. Benbolba and Mojimus are also attracted. The two little fishmen asked Yang Yi for permission and ran happily to play with fireworks and firecrackers.
Yang Yi was also infected by the joyful atmosphere. He walked to the wine table and toasted with the fishmen.
I thought that the night of New Year's Eve would always be immersed in the joyful atmosphere of Ratchet Town, but something unexpected happened at this time.
The brocade fishman Jagu has been drinking all day from day to night, and he himself can't count how many times he has drunk the conch wine pot.
But Jagu hadn't drunk enough, he was still adding wine to the conch cup after cup.
The little naga followed Jagu quietly, and every time Jagu finished pouring a glass of wine, the glass he had just put down was taken away by the little naga.
This clever little alcoholic was thinking about the remaining wine at the bottom of Jagu's cup.
In the joyful atmosphere, no one noticed that a stealth figure passed through the crowd like a ghost and touched Jagu's back.
[Strangle]!
There was no dragging.
The fierce assassination skill hit the target in one hit.
A skeleton man appeared after the attack.
The skeleton man held a fish-shaped dagger in each hand, and there was only a black rag on his body as a pair of pants to cover his crotch.
[Backstab]!
The skeleton man launched a swift second attack almost in a split second, and he obviously wanted to kill Jagu.
The dagger was about to pierce Jagu's heart from the back.
It happened in a split second.
A ball of blue light suddenly appeared.
The blue light formed a shield, barely blocking the fatal blow.
The little naga stared with bright eyes, and all four white hands were open. She used the instant [Magic Shield] to protect Jiagu.
The attack was blocked by the magic shield.
The skeleton turned his head and glanced at the little naga, surprised at her casting speed.
The fishmen around the wine table reacted after a moment of shock, and immediately a fishman took out the fishman net to catch him.
The skeleton knew that this action had failed, so he activated the [Sprint] skill and accelerated towards the sea.
When the fishman net flew over, the skeleton jumped over a wine table while sprinting, put away the dagger in the air, [Disappeared] to enter the enhanced stealth mode, and disappeared from people's sight.
"There is a killer!"
The fishmen shouted loudly, and the festive atmosphere on the beach disappeared instantly.
"How is Jiagu's injury?"
Yang Yi heard the noise and ran over quickly. He went to check Jiagu's injury as soon as possible.
Benboerba and Mojimus also rushed over, one used [Healing Barrier], and the other gave Jiagu [Strong Healing Potion].
"Uncle Jiagu, is he, is he okay?" asked the little naga.
Yang Yi saw that the little naga's eyes were still wide open, and his two pairs of small hands were still open. Obviously, he had not recovered from the shock just now.
Thanks to the little naga's "Spell Still Casting" expertise, she could cast magic instantly, which allowed her to use the [Magic Shield] skill to protect Jiagu at the critical moment.
"Still alive." Yang Yi said.
The little naga breathed a sigh of relief and put down his two pairs of small hands.
"Thanks to the little naga's magic shield." Yang Yi said.
"Hey, the little naga is very powerful." The little naga said.
"The little naga is the most powerful." Yang Yi said.
The little naga giggled at the praise.
Yang Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard the little naga's innocent laughter.
However, Yang Yi was not happy.
Jia Gu was an expert water whisperer, and it was not a simple matter that a killer dared to target him.
