Black sails

Chapter 21 XXI. Knight on the Run

"Stop crying there. Such a big man is showing up everywhere. The demon hunters from the Kingdom of Zeon are here."

Li Site looked at Archer's puddle of mud and struggled to get on the kang, let alone stab someone. Fortunately, he had mastered the correct password over the years.

Archer was so frightened that his blood ran cold. He stood up reluctantly on the stone chair, unbuckled the belt on his back, pulled out a special-shaped heavy weapon and held it in his hand.

This weapon is called a curved sword, which is somewhat like a large Nepalese scimitar.

Li Site heard Archer say that he had never received any combat training. Before he became a chef, he had only been processing meat ingredients day and night, peeling skin, tendons, bones, and internal organs. He had been cooking and carving cattle with his eyes closed all year round.

A famous dish in the Kingdom of Zeon is eating monkeys. To Archer, cutting a human is like cutting a monkey. He has mastered other combat skills even after cutting people several times. He is a talented player.

Being a cook is not a job that relies purely on skills. Without any arm strength, you cannot handle the food for dozens or hundreds of people.

Archer once thought that being a sous chef was hard, but he didn't expect that being a chef would be even harder. He was forced to go to sea after half a year. He couldn't cook before, but now he can cook.

"where?"

Archer's adrenaline surged, and his liver's metabolic capacity increased dozens of times. He suddenly became sober.

"No, I lied to you. Show your skills with your tricks, and someone may die later."

Li Site said, if Archer continues to drink, he will be unconscious and have his throat slit by a thief one day, but he will not be able to stop his bad behavior.

Fen asked the intelligence dealer to lead the way quickly, but things changed later.

Linden City is not a small city, so we can't save money on taxis at this time.

A group of people got into a car pulled by two chocobos. This kind of bird looks like an ostrich, but is much larger. The muscles on its neck and legs are thicker. The feathers are mostly dark green or dark blue. They travel long distances. Although their endurance is not as good as that of horses, their foot strength for short distances is much stronger.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later.

The group left the bustling inner ring of Linden City and came to the outer perimeter. After paying six copper coins, they were led by the intelligence dealer to an inconspicuous dark alley at the edge of the city wall.

"You guys, they are at the liquor store on the next corner."

The information dealer really couldn't figure out what he said wrongly.

"Okay, you come with us. If there is any problem, I will sacrifice your head to the flag."

Li Site grabbed the information dealer's hair and pulled him.

"Grandpa, I really didn't lie to you. It was a warehouse rented by a farmer's family in the city. They stored some home-brewed bulk wine and sold it to big restaurants in the inner city. The military masters used some money to stay there. No It’s half fake.”

The information dealers were frightened and their legs were trembling. From now on, they would just do business with adventurers. These people with bounties on their heads were so suspicious every day that they drove themselves crazy.

It was all the information dealers were saying, and Fen thought that there might be a killing spree later.

ten minutes later.

Inside the bulk wine warehouse.

Fin and this knight hit it off immediately, and they met so late that they sat opposite each other on the floor. They were both nobles once, but they could not keep their titles after committing a crime, and they suddenly fell from the sky to the ground. They had something in common.

In the past, meals were served by maids, nutritionists prepared recipes, appetizers, meals, desserts and drinks, and there were also elegant entertainment after meals.

This is a summary of the conversation between the two.

When he was young, he was a dandy who loved prosperity, loved monasteries, and beautiful maids... he loved flowers and birds. He also indulged in tea, tangerine, and poetry. He worked hard for half his life, and everything turned into a dream.

Now living in exile overseas, with a broken bed, few clothes and food, and often no food to eat, looking back on ten years ago, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Li Site stood aside and almost couldn't stand listening anymore. The two of them were chattering to each other to great effect, showing how talkative they were in the past, but how destitute they were now. They had reached the sentimental stage of a middle-aged greasy man.

The intelligence dealer was not lying. These military masters were indeed here to protect the son of a high-ranking official in the Aram Empire. As a result, the young master suddenly fell ill and his legs kicked up and his pigtails were raised. How could he do business when he returned? Hello, your son suddenly died of illness in a foreign country. Who would believe it?

This knight's name is Claude, and he looks like a three-dimensional model. He wears a full set of armor from a serious knight. From the soles of his feet to his neck, he is fully armed. The texture and luster are shimmering. There must be some special elements mixed in. It is made of materials, and the connection workmanship at the joints is quite exquisite. Again, it requires ten golden dragons, otherwise it may not be possible. Maybe this armor also has some circuit structures for specialized power. The chest originally has the emblem of allegiance to the noble family. Yes, but he has already crossed it out if he committed a crime.

Claude was extremely haggard, unshaven, and his eyes were dull.

There are more than twenty trained regular soldiers in the warehouse. They are wearing chainmail armor under their linen shirts. They are also extremely haggard. Claude is not well guarded. Of course, these military warriors are also sitting together. The empire's influence radiates throughout the Western Continent, running away. Where to go, I have to think about it or go to sea.

"well……"

Claude closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, clenching his fists. After eight lifetimes of bad luck, he was now in a dilemma. Most of his money was lost on the way to the east coast. Now there are only five golden dragons and some scattered items left. Silver coins, I can say that I can live alone, and I will spend the rest of my life in anonymity, but these brothers who have been born and died together have no way of making a living, how can they go to farm?

Chatting is just chatting. Li Site has no intention of accepting these people. Senior officials of the Yalan Empire, this is not a trivial matter. In addition, the combat power of this group of regular troops should not be underestimated. If he does not accept them, now there are people parked in the secret port. Nor will the Pirates accept any other setbacks.

"There is nothing we can do to help. We won't go to sea immediately. We will have to stay for less than half a month no matter what."

Li Site was about to throw away and leave. He still had things to do. He didn’t know when Lord Linden City’s work would come, but he had to prepare all the supplies on the ship first. To see what was missing, he had to go to the wholesale market and place an order. .

The bulk wine warehouse also had a lot of bulk wine, and Claude also bought some. At this time, Archer was drinking it regardless of the occasion.

Li Site was speechless. You drank someone else's wine and left later. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing.

"Hey, I know you are pirates. We don't have to divide the seats on the ship. We are just making a living. We can still afford to wait for half a month. The news will not spread back so quickly."

Claude was determined to win the battle quickly. If he didn't find a way out early, it would be too late when people really came. He also knew what he was worried about. With so many people on board, he was afraid that something would happen in the middle.

Fen was silent, and it was easy to talk. It was indeed not easy for brothers, and he would provide all support except help.

Li Site thought of a way to decline politely.

"You used to be a character, so how can you do the work of a robber? I do have an acquaintance who can take you by boat to the Far East Islands."

Li Site said indifferently.

"The emperor once went on an expedition and committed many crimes. We Arameans did not have a good life in a foreign land. We are waiting for the emperor to appoint an heir to pardon the whole country. If we have gold, we can go back and redeem our title."

Claude murmured.

Fen was noncommittal. Sure enough, it was still not so easy to accept the fact that he became a bandit. He was still dreaming. The thief who was assigned to the gang would naturally be pardoned. How could a big case be possible? Without rules, there would be no rules. There must always be a corpse to show people. Zhao Guomin.

"What is the son of the high official you protect doing here?"

Li Site asked.

Unexpectedly, Claude's next words were like a bolt from the blue, and Li Site was stunned.

"If it's just a small matter, it's okay to say..."
