Main Volume Chapter 66: The Red Pirates
Well?
this?
A bit boastful?
First of all, the basic blood-sucking ability is very practical and can be upgraded, which means that the blood-sucking effect will become 50%, 100%, or even 200% in the future...
Then there is the sword profession mastery. The passive skill is average and is a dispensable and useless skill, but it will produce miraculous effects if placed in other places.
For example, if you give this thing to Hahaha, or Minotaur, they can switch from "support" to "output", and they can both carry and fight, and the functionality is also great...
Next, the passive "dual wielding weapons" can be described in just one word: awesome!
If you think about it carefully, the powerful Brother Zun holds two weapons in his hands, and these two weapons are artifacts. The high attributes attached to them can be stacked, the passive abilities of the artifacts can be triggered together, and the high-damage skills of the artifacts can also be used.
Isn't this invincible?
It's simply the invincible among the invincible!
Zhang Yun asked Brother Zun to try out this passive skill and equipped him with the Blade of Great Flame and Blade of Barga at the same time. He found that the attribute bonuses of the two pieces of equipment were indeed superimposed on Brother Zun as shown by the skills.
He then tried the combination of the White Sword and the Barga Blade, and discovered that Brother Zun could also hold a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, still stacking attributes, and could also continuously release the skills of the two weapons.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
“Awesome!”
"With a white sword in his left hand and a Barga blade in his right hand, won't he be able to chop Ajid into pieces?"
"Alright, Brother Zun, try the 'Shadow' skill!"
[Hint: Micot activates the inherited skill "Shadow"! ]
Suddenly, Brother Zun's body turned into a thick black mist and slowly floated in front of Zhang Yun. He looked a bit like a popular villain wearing a mask and holding two guns.
Zhang Yun conjured up a Jack Pumpkin Gun and stabbed at Brother Zun who had transformed into black mist. However, the spear missed and passed through the mist without causing any damage.
Then he turned around and asked the elemental spirits he had summoned long ago to cast fire magic.
"boom!"
The fire magic, like the pumpkin spear, passed through Zun Ge's body which was a mass of black mist , and finally hit the floor of the warehouse, burning a small ball of fire.
Oh shit, the unselectable state, does that mean it's an invincible state that is immune to physical and magical attacks?
It’s a pity that Brother Zun can neither escape quickly nor attack in the black fog state, so he can only use this skill to avoid some high-damage attacks.
Once the invincibility frame is over, he will still be unable to defeat the enemy, and the enemy will predict his presence in advance and kill him instantly by throwing several skills at him the moment he appears.
It seems that this thing is quite easy to target, so there is no need to worry about the enemy having similar skills...
After that, after three seconds, Brother Zun's body returned to its original state. At the same time, a green number "+0" appeared on his head, and his body began to emit bursts of green fluorescence.
Zhang Yun touched his chin and commented: "Not bad, the strength of this inheritance is still good. The key is that from the initial skills, it is a perfect match with Brother Zun who has high dodge and high attack. It is very suitable."
"I didn't expect that I would win the bet with just a random bet. It seems like I've been lucky lately."
"This is not a good sign..."
"When good things get extreme, bad things will happen, and when bad things get extreme, good things will happen. I have such good luck now, but I always feel that something bad will happen to me later..."
After thinking about it, he turned around and waved to Brother Zun: "Okay, Brother Zun, please find a place to sit back first. I'll go check on the weapon forging situation."
Zhang Yun came to the site where old man Haha was working, and watched him swinging a sledgehammer with his bare chest. He hit the steel dozens of times with "clang clang clang", and a brand new Barga Blade came out.
Then there were another "clang clang clang" sound, and the second Barga Blade was done. Then there were another "clang clang clang" sound, and the two Barga Blades were fused into the first Barga Blade, increasing its level cap to level 50 and strengthening all weapon skills.
Especially the passive skill that restrains Ajid, which originally increased damage by 30%, but now increases damage by 50%. This increase may not seem like much, but in actual use it makes a world of difference.
Then, old man Haha did not stop, and continued to "clang clang clang" to forge the strengthening stone together, allowing it to be upgraded to Zun Ge's current level 29, slightly increasing the attribute value of the weapon.
Next is the forging of the White Sword. Since Zhang Yun only has 30 pieces of Ajid restraining materials left, old man Haha can't break through the White Sword to +4 and can only forge it to +3.
But it is enough. Upgrade it to level 29 directly. If you meet the humanoid Ajid again in the future, let Brother Zun swing two swords together to blow up the opponent's dog head.
As for the "Virtual Fragment of Jaw of Disease" that Ajid dropped, it can also be used to forge restrained weapons, and it is slightly stronger than the "Blade of Varga - Tyr'front".
But Zhang Yun felt that it would be enough to make two low-level weapons now, and there was no need to make more. These high-level materials should be kept for now in case they were needed later.
For example, if Zhang Yun revealed the blueprints of a genuine restraining weapon, the core material of which is exactly this kind of high-level fragment. If he uses up the material now, he will be in trouble later.
Everything is possible. Wasting now will only lead to regret in the future...
so.
The warehouse is finished.
…
Then, old man Haha took half a night to upgrade all the equipment worn by Zhang Yun and all his followers, and created several magical equipment for Lily that could be made according to blueprints to enhance Lily's overall abilities.
After finishing everything, Zhang Yun called back all his followers, and quietly slipped back to the hotel with his brother Zun, who was pretending to be a human, and had a good sleep.
The next morning, he woke up early, got ready, and rushed to the dock of the city with Lucina.
At this time, it was already daybreak, and those working at sea had also gotten up. Many ships were hoisting sails, planning to go out to sea in the early morning.
Zhang Yun didn't know the situation in Alberia, nor did he know which ship to take to reach the desert holy city, so he gave the task of finding a ship to Lucina and asked her to negotiate with the ship owners who made money by transporting people.
Soon, Lucina found an ocean-going ship heading to her destination and negotiated with the ship owner. For two gold coins per person, the ship owner would take the three people to the coastal city closest to the desert holy city.
But the departure time is not now, but 12 noon. They can only set out to the sea after other guests who have already booked seats have arrived.
So, for the rest of the morning, Zhang Yun and Lucina strolled around the pier and ate at all the open snack bars nearby.
At 12 noon, the two returned to the dock, planning to meet up with the ship owner and then set out to sea.
Unexpectedly, a trouble suddenly came, and it was related to them...

[Introduction: The members of the Red Pirates lurk in the city, looking for suitable merchant ships as targets, and then find ways to board the ships. When the merchant ships sail to a certain range, they use the special magical beasts they have trained to inform their accomplices and ask them to rob the "fat" merchant ship.]
…
Zhang Yun sighed, crossed out the information displayed by "Insight", and then stared at the man named "Hank", wondering: "I'm drunk. I just finished talking about the law of conservation of European energy last night, but today I encountered such a troublesome character?"
"Can we change boats now?"
"How about we just take the initiative and kill this troublesome guy, or hand him over to the guards guarding the city?"
"But there is no evidence to prove that he is a pirate. If we touch him carelessly, it will only cause more trouble and may even alert Akito..."
Noticing that something was wrong with Zhang Yun, Lucina leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yun shook her head at Hank who was standing at the boarding entrance, winked and said, "Observe that man carefully to see if there is anything wrong with him."
Lucina turned her head and looked at Hank in confusion. She analyzed, "Let me see... His posture is sloppy, but his lower body is very stable. He keeps looking around. There is a scar on his arm. It looks like he was injured in battle..."
"From this point of view, he should be a professional, and his common weapon is an axe!"
"etc!"
Lucina noticed some strange details: "This guy is a little weird. He kept staring at the people boarding the ship, focusing on the wallets they took out..."
"Thief?"
"No, that's not right, it should be pirates!"
Zhang Yun: “???”
No, sister, what do you think?
Why was he a thief one second and a pirate the next? Isn't this a quick turn?
Lucina explained: "His skin is very dark, obviously tanned by the sun. Only people who work at sea all year round will have such dark skin. Because there is no place to block the sun at sea, the degree of tanning will definitely be more serious than on land."
"He was very attentive to other people's actions of taking out their wallets, and his eyes revealed a greed that could only be seen in the eyes of thieves and robbers."
"For a professional who has knife wounds all over his body and is often involved in fights, he definitely has a strong character. He would not do something that only a coward would do, such as stealing."
"So he must be a pirate..."
Zhang Yun asked, "Huh? Isn't this a wrong judgment? What if he is just a person who likes money more?"
Lucina shook her head and said with certainty, "No, the aura he exudes is very obvious. He is always vigilantly observing his surroundings without slacking off. His right hand is on a hard object that he can pick up at any time. If he encounters a wrong situation, he can immediately use it as a weapon."
"From details like these, we can tell at a glance that he is in a job that often involves dangers, and he is a veteran, so he is always in a state of combat, ready to be attacked at any time and anywhere ."
"But he acts like a second-rate person, and with that greedy look in his eyes, it's obvious that he's not a serious professional, and he can't be a soldier..."
After a pause, Lucina suddenly turned her head and stared at Zhang Yun with a strange look on her face: "Since you mentioned him to me, you should have realized that he is a pirate, right? Why are you asking me?"
“Ahem!”
Zhang Yun coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I did see it, but I was curious whether you could see it, so I came to ask you..."
Lucina: "(._.)"
Zhang Yun quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I know you can see it, but I really want to know how you did it, so I asked those questions..."
"Now that I've seen it, it's really amazing. I admire him so much!"
After hearing this, Lucina rolled her eyes, imitating Zhang Yun, and said, "I say, brother, is this the time to discuss this?"
"This guy is on the same boat as us. He must have targeted the people on this boat and wanted to rob them and rob us at the same time."
"Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
Zhang Yun shrugged: "What else can we do? Either we change the boat and ignore him, or we can get on board and see what tricks he can come up with, and then we can deal with them accordingly!"
Lucina flipped her hair and asked, "How about we just call the guards to arrest him?"
Zhang Yun looked at her: "Do you have any evidence that he is a pirate?"
"No, I only have a subjective impression that he is a pirate... Then why did the guards believe us and arrest him?"
After hearing this, Lucina smiled playfully, took out the Phoenix badge, and said, "No need for evidence. I'll show this to the guards, and they'll immediately put this guy in jail."
Zhang Yun: “…”
Damn, forget about this. This guy is the second generation of a king. It shouldn't be too easy for him to deal with a small ordinary pirate. Why would he need any evidence?
"But if there are Agito's spies among the guards, you will immediately expose yourself, and our already brief period of safety will become even shorter."
Zhang Yun said slowly, "Even if Ajid wasn't among the guards, they would have spread the news that you took out the white phoenix badge. I guess it would have reached Ajid in two days at most, and they would have discovered that you were here."
Lucina put away the badge, blinked, and asked, "So, Brother Zhang Yun, since you think we can't just do it to him, what should we do?"
Zhang Yun asked back, "Do you want to meddle in other people's business?"
Lucina stared into Zhang Yun's eyes and said, "I want to..."
"Besides, there is only one ship willing to go to the eastern desert. If we miss it, we may have to wait for more than ten days for the next ship, so we have no other choice."
Zhang Yun snapped her fingers. "What else is there to say? Get on the boat! Let's go!"
He stroked his chin and said, "I want to see what tricks this handsome guy will come up with and how he will hijack this ship!"
Lucina tilted her head, looking confused, "What do you mean by pretty boy?"
Zhang Yun explained: "It's a local dialect, colloquialism, which means the other person is a very handsome man."
“But in some places, it can also be understood to have another meaning.”
"Which one?"
"You are a young man who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
