Pirate Codex

The stench entered their noses, and both Arthur and Edward frowned, but they endured it forcefully.

The two long swords have been unsheathed. The good maintenance of the swords has made the swords shine coldly, just like the silver moon.

After putting a sacred guard on himself and Edward that covered the whole body like a transparent film, Arthur no longer concealed himself, suddenly exerted force on his feet, and rushed towards Eastman who was five or six steps in front of him.

Edward, like Arthur, raised his long sword, maintained a flanking attack with Arthur, and rushed towards Eastman.

"Tap tap tap tap"

"Tap tap tap tap"

Two hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and Eastman's whole body was filled with chills. Years of fighting experience allowed him to make the most correct choice.

Eastman did not turn his head or run forward, exposing his back to the enemy. Instead, he quickly moved his left hand up, holding the iron bar against his right shoulder with his right hand, turned his body to the left, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and carried it with him. The iron rod was swung hard behind him.

Arthur stepped forward in two or three steps, held out the long sword, and made a perfect lunge thrust. The four key parts of the legs, waist, shoulders, and arms worked together to exert force. The long sword pierced the air and let out a piercing whistle. Voice.

Before the long sword came, the enemy's response was already in his eyes. He raised his stick and swung it back.

Arthur was on the left side behind Eastman. If he didn't hide, even if he was stabbed, his head would also be hit by the iron rod, creating a lose-lose situation.

However, Arthur just raised the corners of his mouth, ignoring the whistling iron rod, and forcefully pierced the long sword into the heart of Eastman's back.

This guy doesn't hide

Eastman's head had already turned around with his body, and when he saw that the figure behind him still did not avoid it, he felt full of violence in his heart.

Alright

If you don't want to hide, don't hide. Let's see who is more lucky.

Eastman's eyes were blood red, his muscles all over his body were working hard, his veins were bulging, and his strength in swinging the iron rod became even stronger.

"puff"

The expected loud bang of the iron rod hitting his head did not sound. What reached his ears was only a slight sound, like the sound of a balloon being punctured.

Eastman was slightly startled. The touch on his hand was also very strange. There was no backlash of hitting an object, but it was like hitting a ball of tough cotton. All the power was absorbed or offset. The iron rod finally stopped on the head of the person behind him without moving at all.

However, before Eastman had time to be surprised and panicked, an icy cold light suddenly pierced his back and heart, and with a trace of blood, it penetrated from his chest.

The stinging pain in his heart caused Eastman's body to freeze suddenly. Before he could lower his head to check the injury, another cold light appeared between his neck, a sharp blow.

A large amount of blood spurted out from his neck, and then, the sword at his heart was twisted hard, crushing Eastman's last glimmer of hope.

"thump"

"Boom"

Eastman's strong body and the iron rod fell to the ground together, causing a splash of feces, urine and sewage.

The two reacted quickly. When Eastman fell, they quickly took a few steps back to avoid the splashing water.

Arthur sensed the remaining protection value of the holy guard and couldn't help but secretly gasped.

The protection value is the upper limit of the sacred guard's defense. An ordinary sacred guard can provide a shield with a protection value of 10. Only by breaking the shield can it attack people.

Arthur once tested that the attacks of himself and Bowness with swords and knives can probably cut off 3 guard values ​​at once, while the remaining Paul, Henry, Kevin and others all have 2 guard values.

In other words, he and Bowness needed 4 hits to cut through the shield, while Paul and others needed 5 hits.

This effect is very amazing. In low-level battles, life and death are often just one or two moves away. With the skill of Holy Guard, you can make many judgments that are beyond your opponent's imagination.

Eastman's swing of the stick just now consumed a full 4 points of guard value, which shows how powerful it is. Without the sacred guard, he would not dare to be so reckless.

"Boss Yashur, what should we do now?"

Blood drops dripped from the tip of the sword. Edward quickly glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Arthur, his voice trembling.

Although he no longer had any psychological shadow about killing people, Edward was still a little nervous when it was his first time to cause trouble and kill people.

"Of course I'm running away."

Arthur came back to his senses, showed a relaxed smile to Edward, then squatted down with the sword, wiped the blood on Eastman's sword, returned the sword to its sheath, turned around and returned to the way he came.

"Ok."

Edward also relaxed and imitated Arthur, squatting down to wipe the sword, and then sheathed it. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly thought of something again and started rummaging around Eastman's body.

“Hurry up”

Arthur had already walked a few steps and saw Edward rummaging through the corpse, so he shook his head helplessly.

Isn't it just some free money? What's there to ask for?

"Ok"

Edward quickly put away Bailey, stood up, and ran towards Arthur with a smile.

"Boss Arthur, I gave him more than 10,000 Baileys."

"Just keep it, we're not short of money either."

"well"

When the two returned to the scene of the incident, only the old man's naked body was left in the pool of blood.

Arthur frowned and looked at the unbearable corpse on the ground, and then looked at the pedestrians on the road who looked as if they had not seen him before, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

In this accident, whether it was Eastman who was the executioner, Dropp who was passing by, or the passers-by who were watching, or even the homeless man who stripped off the old man's clothes but ignored the body.

All made Arthur feel an awkward anger, which was incomprehension and resentment towards people's indifferent behavior.

This is also the first time Arthur has felt the cold corner of the world.

"There is a morgue to the east. We can just put the old man there."

Edward reached out and gently covered the old man's empty eyes, and then said to Arthur.

"Well, let's do it." Arthur nodded, no objection.

Then the two of them bought a piece of black cloth from a nearby grocery store, wrapped the old man's body in a package, and then carried the body together toward the morgue.

By the time we finished moving the old man's body and walked out of the morgue, it was already afternoon.

Time was running out, so the two of them stopped going to the North District to explore. After hastily buying a few pieces of bread for lunch in a bakery on the road, they returned to Red Rose Street and met up with Bowness and Henry. .

At this time, both Bonis and Henry had sold nearly half of the cart's apples. The four of them did not continue selling, but took out some of the remaining fruits and gave them to the nearby stall owners and the street management office. Get in the empty car, purchase ingredients, and return to Orchard Village.
