Jenkins and Miss Magic were not the only ones who were looking for the locations of the steam cannons. In fact, when they came to the ground, they discovered that there were suddenly many benefactors of the Orthodox Church around the ceremony site.
In order to avoid this group of people, the two had to mix with the fleeing citizens, and they walked towards the outside of the dock area surrounded by crowds. This is also a good thing, because it means that Jenkins and Miss Magic don't need to be the heroes who save the city. The church has already made plans.
"Should we take this opportunity to leave immediately, or go to find Fermixiu as planned?"
Jenkins asked the woman next to him. The two were mixed in the crowd so as not to be separated, walking almost close to each other. Chocolate squatted on Jenkins' head, because he was tall, so the cat became the only creature that could see the top of everyone's head.
"Of course I went to find Fermixiu!"
Jenkins was not surprised by the answer given by Miss Magic. As she spoke, she struggled to take out a paper tube made of brown hard paper from her pocket, put it on her right index finger and raised her hand, aiming the paper tube at the sky.
"Boom~"
She simulated such a voice in her mouth.
Boom!
The red fireball flew into the sky and exploded into a gorgeous fireworks, which could be seen from several streets away, even in daylight.
This was Miss Magic's signal to inform the huntress, but what she didn't expect was that just half a minute after her fireworks exploded, another seven or eight fireworks went into the sky one after another, making this celebration really a success. celebration.
"This is yours too... No, it's definitely not yours. Have you told the huntress the shape of the fireworks you agreed upon?"
The fireworks just now were also red.
"I just said it was red, not the specific shape... It doesn't matter, as long as she sees it, it doesn't matter whose signal she sees."
As she spoke, she forced Jenkins to rush out of the crowd, and then, regardless of where she was, she pulled him away from the crowd.
There has been a mess around here, and Jenkins doesn't know if other things have happened on the sea. But when he heard the sixth cannon, there was also a cannon from the direction of the sea.
"Is this the naval gun on the warship? The people on the ship are crazy and want to fire on the shore?"
Miss Magic asked in astonishment.
Her guess was wrong, because the guns on the warship were aimed at the sea. When the two came out of the warehouse and rushed to the street again, they saw that there were more than two boats on the sea.
If you don't count the scattered boats, Jenkins can see a total of five ships now, two of which are warships, and the other three are flying skull flags.
This represents pirates in the original world, and it also represents pirates in this world. Jenkins believes that if his dead friend Li Gan also crosses, then this kind of flag must also be a pirate in his world.
"What does this mean? Didn't the mob organized by Fermisau plan to directly attack the citizens? Where did they get these three ships?"
Jenkins asked Miss Magic loudly, surrounded by all kinds of screams and gunshots, he had to increase his voice.
"How do I know? This matter was wrong from the very beginning! The victory of the Battle of the Broken Isles in the open sea has its own problems!"
She yelled at Jenkins with the same voice, and then her voice was drowned out by the explosion in the warehouse not far away. God knows what was stored there, although it is unlikely to be a warehouse of gunpowder, it is most likely a warehouse of flammable wood.
Jenkins' eyes have been observing Fermisio's movements, and he has lost the bonus of high-altitude vision. Only when he wears a monocle can he barely see the aura belonging to the Pirate King. He hadn't moved in the basement of the low building, so the two of them moved there with a very clear goal.
Along the way, I went through the scene of the gun battle, and met a group of strange characters wearing masks at the warehouse door. Then the two sides tacitly bypassed each other and passed by the burning wood. Jenkins even took a detour to save a person who was too scared to move. The flower girl who bought her, sent her to a safe place before re-finding Miss Magic.
"I never knew you were such a nice person."
Miss Magic joked.
"I've always been such a nice guy."
Jenkins said indifferently, and then pulled the woman aside casually, letting a group of strange figures rushing towards the trestle carrying a coffin pass by.
"Who are these people? The coffin just now seems to be empty."
"The group of people just now are believers of the false god [The Mourners]. They don't have a good reputation. They like to compete with the believers of [The End of Death] everywhere for the funeral business. Sometimes they will appear in some strange places. place, take the initiative to wait for the business to appear. Or run to the rich man and tell him the date of his death, and wait for the other party to get angry, leave their mailing address and a very expensive price, and wait for the other party's relatives to take the initiative to contact... I think this time they I met a big client."
Miss Magic explained, leading Jenkins forward. There are not a few people like them rampaging in the alleys, so although it looks strange, because everyone is strange, no one pays attention to them.
All the way to the short building, a gun battle broke out nearby. The pirates who occupied the commanding heights in advance fought at least three different forces, some of whom were subordinates of the huntress. This was also an agreed thing, but there was no sign of the huntress nearby. Jenkins didn't know who the rest were, but it was certain that at least one of them was a foreign spy, as could be seen from the faces of the group.
"what should we do?"
It is absolutely impossible to go through the main entrance. The roadblocks on the road and the ground on fire after being sprayed with oil are simply impassable. Forcibly rushing out will only be regarded as a moving target by everyone.
"That house has a back door. Although it is blocked, I know there are other ways to get there. Even Miss Windsor doesn't know that. She is not the only one who will keep a hand."
She said that she led Jenkins around the battlefield, and the two broke into the same inconspicuous low building not far away, and then went around to the backyard of the pirates through the secret passage in the basement.
When Miss Magic opened the partition disguised as turf, the ears of the cat that was still underground moved, and then looked up with piercing eyes.
"Did you hear any strange noises?"
Miss Magic, who came out first, asked.
"Strange sound?"
Jenkins also crawled out from the ground and listened carefully:
"It seems to be the sound of the waves... How can you hear the sound of the waves here so far from the coast?"
