    Everyone on the Scarlet Shark was staring at the sea. As time slowly passed, the small ship finally appeared in people's sight.  Now, even without a telescope, you can still see the small black spot on the sea with the naked eye.  Compared with the entire sea, this small ship is so small, but now no one dares to underestimate this ship.  If this ship really belongs to the Tears of the Stars Academy, even if these pirates are brave enough, they will not dare to attack the ship.  Almost all pirates are hoping that everything is just a disguise, that this ship is actually just an ordinary merchant ship.  An Rui was the only one who didn't think so. He really hoped that this was true, so that a war could be avoided.  As the ship approaches, the answer gradually emerges.  On the mast, Sophie held a telescope in her hand, her slender brows slightly furrowed, and she stared at the small ship.  At this distance, she could already see the outline of all aspects of the small ship, and the flag flying on the mast could be clearly seen, but she could not yet see clearly what the people on the ship looked like.  From the outside, there is not much that is surprising about this small ship. Like the Scarlet Shark, it has a wooden structure.  At the bow of the ship, there is a star-shaped bow image made of metal. It seems to be still new. It shines with silver light and competes with the sunlight refracted on the sea.  There is only one mainmast on the ship, which is arranged near the bow. This is the standard choice for most sloops.  The canvas hung from the mast was white and tilted slightly to the east to receive as much wind as possible.  The wind direction at this time is very unfavorable for the ship, and it is almost sailing against the wind, but the speed of the ship is not slow, which can be seen from the waves rolling up from the bottom of the ship.  Sophie has been on the sea for many years. She can roughly calculate the speed of a sailboat just by visual inspection, with an error of about one to two knots, which is a skill that she is proud of.  The speed of the sailboat opposite was at least fifteen knots, which was a little too fast for a small sailboat sailing against the wind.  "There's something wrong." Sophie's brows furrowed even more tightly, her eyes slightly focused, and she further observed the details of the ship through the small lens.  As the camera moved, her sight moved from the bow to the stern. From this angle, she could not see the whole stern of the ship. She could only see the waves rising from the stern, and a strange figure with blue light!  Because the distance was too far, Sophie could not see the whole figure clearly. She could only vaguely judge that it was a humanoid creature, with blue light all over its body and moving as fast as the waves.  Obviously, this figure with blue light is in the same group as this small ship. It seems to be escorting the ship, and it seems to be acting as a labor force to push the ship forward!  This figure with blue light is probably some kind of monster, or something created by magic. No matter what, ordinary people will definitely not be able to control this kind of creature, only wizards can do it.  This creature directly proves that this ship is indeed the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy.  In this sea, there are not many people who master the secrets of magic.  "Damn, this is really the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy. There are monsters protecting the stern of the ship! We can't be the wizard's opponent. Everyone, please put away your weapons quickly to avoid being exposed as pirates. Also,  The helmsman and the sailman immediately changed the course and turned to the southwest as quickly as possible to gain maximum wind power and distance themselves from that damn magic ship!" Sophie put down the telescope and looked down at the group of waiting men.  shouted.  As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy shell was dropped on the open deck, shocking everyone.  Every pirate knows very well that with the combat power of this ship, there is no way it can be a match for the wizard.  It would be even worse if it was a magic ship.  There are many types of sailing ships in this world. In addition to ordinary ships, there are also special ships. Magic ships are a type of special ships.  Magic ships mainly refer to those sailboats with added magical power, which often have various magical powers, such as protective arrays, acceleration arrays, etc.  Compared with ordinary ships, magic ships are undoubtedly much more powerful.  Even a small magic ship can defeat a medium-sized ordinary ship or even a large ordinary ship. The combat power between the two is not at the same level at all.  Once they heard that the ship was really the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy, and it might even be a magic ship, many pirates were immediately thrown into confusion, as if they had been poured cold water on them, losing their previous arrogance.  The pirates put away their weapons one after another, and some even threw their weapons directly into the corner, as if it was a hot potato that could bring them endless trouble.  The helmsman follows and controls the sail?Cooperating with each other, lowered all the sails and adjusted the sail direction to cater to the sea breeze to the maximum extent in order to obtain the fastest speed.  Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. With everyone's efforts, the Scarlet Shark changed its course, pointed the bow with the shark's bow to the southwest, and began to move rapidly in that direction.  At this time, the Scarlet Shark formed an angle with the suspected magic ship, with the former heading southwest and the latter heading east.  Due to different headings, the two sides gradually distanced themselves.  After learning that the ship was indeed the sailboat of Tears of Stars Academy, An Rui finally felt relieved.  He knew full well that pirates would never attack the ship of Tears of the Stars Academy. If there were no other accidents, the robbery that had just been brewing would definitely be aborted.  And this is exactly what he wants to see.  "Huh" An Rui breathed a sigh of relief and moved his hands that were originally holding the sword hilt to the starboard guardrail.  All the sweat collected on his palms rubbed against it.  Behind him, many pirates were busy, and the number was much smaller than before. Most of them chose to hide in the cabin, as if this layer of wood was an iron wall.  But rational people should understand that this layer of wood actually doesn't have much effect.  Some pirates with faith began to pray, chanting the names of ancient heroes and gods, praying that the small ship suspected of being a magic ship would not approach.  The pirates who were bloodthirsty just now have now transformed into religious believers.  On the mast, Sophie was still watching every move of the ship. Her expression looked very nervous. It was completely different from the excitement just now. It could be said that she was in the sky and on the earth.  Almost everyone was hoping that the sailing ship, which might be a magic ship, would not get closer. However, the situation did not develop in the direction they expected. Instead, it staged a drama of twists and turns.  For some unknown reason, the sailboat turned around and rushed towards this side!  Like the Scarlet Shark, this ship is a small ship known for its lightness. After taking advantage of the southwesterly wind, its speed immediately increased.  Coupled with the fact that there was some kind of monster at the stern of the ship that was pushing the ship to accelerate, the speed increased even more, far exceeding the speed of the Blood Shark.  If this momentum continues, it will only be a matter of time before the opponent catches up, and it will be a very short matter of time.  "Damn, why are they coming?" Sophie put down the telescope and stamped on the beam under her feet again. Her rather plump breasts rose and fell with this movement, as if she wanted to jump out of her collar, "Flagbearer"  Where is it? Come here quickly and ask the other party's intention using the flag language. I want to know what they want to do. Do they still want to rob our pirate ship?" she shouted down.  A pirate with many small colorful flags on his back ran over in embarrassment. Following the captain's instructions, he stood on the starboard side of the guardrail, took out two small flags, and used various gestures to signal inquiries.  On the sea, it is very difficult for two ships to communicate with each other. Firstly, the distance is too far, and secondly, the thunderous sound of the waves can cover up human voices.  In order to facilitate communication between two ships, sailors invented semaphore, which conveyed some simple meanings through flags of different colors and different waving movements.  The flag bearers waved the same flag over and over again, asking each other about their intentions.  Sophie raised the telescope again and stared at the magic ship nervously, waiting for the other party's response.  Time passes little by little, and the two sides get closer and closer, but the other side has yet to send out a flag bearer to raise the flag.  This made Sophie secretly annoyed, and she gritted her teeth and muttered: "Are these bitches blind? Why didn't they see the flag we sent?" After the pirates saw the magic ship approaching, their panic was further amplified.  , as if being shined by a magnifying glass.  ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what the intention of that magic ship is, I guess it won¡¯t do anything good, and most likely it¡¯s someone who comes with bad intentions.  This time, not to mention the pirates with ulterior motives, even An Rui, who was secretly rejoicing just now, felt a little uneasy.  If the magic ship really had bad intentions and even launched an attack on the ship, the result would be the same as what An Rui had worried about before, except that the attacker and the attacked party had switched positions.  Just now, it was the Scarlet Shark who wanted to attack someone else, and now someone else wants to attack the Scarlet Shark.  Regardless, they are all equally dangerous.  If you fight a magic ship, the danger will be greater. Looking at the problem from this perspective, the situation seems to be getting worse!  "Isn't it? Why am I so unlucky? I can leave this ship safely tonight, but why do I encounter such a big trouble at this juncture? It's all because of these greedy pirates who want to rob merchant ships all day long.  It's a good thing this time, it's not good to have to deal with such a bad thingI'll see what happens to you enemies later.  "An Rui stared at the approaching magic ship. He really had the urge to curse. His heart that had just been relieved was now hanging up again, and it was hanging even higher! If pirates rob merchant ships, he might be able to muster the courage to do so.  Courage, relying on the innate sense of justice, helps the merchant ship to fight the pirates, but if the magic ship attacks the pirate ship, he will have nothing to do, and the majestic magic ship cannot use his help.  He is obligated to help the pirates deal with the wizards, and he has no obligation to help the wizards deal with the pirates. Faced with this situation, all he needs is to protect himself. "The situation is not good. I can't stand around anymore. I have to prepare in advance."  If the two sides really start fighting, I have to find a way to escape.  "An Rui's mind turned and he made some calculations. He left the starboard guardrail and walked quickly to the gangway leading to the second deck. At this time, people were panicked. Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves. No one paid attention to An Rui's whereabouts. " An Rui walked down.  On the gangway, he passed several panicked pirates and headed to the kitchen to search for the food needed for escape. On the sea, the magic ship was still approaching quickly. The ship was not huge in size and long in length.  It was only about thirty yards away, but it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression. At this distance, the figures walking on the magic ship could be clearly seen through the telescope, as well as the vague appearance of the strange creature.  When he came out, there were several people wearing gray robes on the open deck of the magic ship, which was the wizard's favorite dress. As for the creature at the back of the ship, it was a large humanoid man made of water, and the water all over his body was slowly flowing and emitting.  It is shining with a faint blue light. It is pushing the stern of the ship with its palms condensed by water. No wonder the ship is traveling so fast. As for the origin and name of this creature, the pirates cannot know.  When the ships were only about four hundred yards apart, the people on the magic ship finally responded, but instead of communicating through cumbersome flags, they directly transmitted the sound through shouting.  Shu' has eavesdropped on your conversation and knows the identity of your group of pirates.  Since you are pirates and have become hostile to us, we naturally cannot let you go easily.  Several magic apprentices on the ship are happy to use your ship to test the magic they have just learned. Enjoy this magical feast!  ¡± The voice was hoarse, cold, and full of hostility!
