Looking at the ugly stumps of the tiger-shaped monster falling from the sky, Benjamin hesitated and held them up with water vapor, preventing them from falling into the river.
To be honest, he had never seen such a foul-smelling monster. The splattered blood also gave him a strange feeling. It was too sticky and seemed a little different from the blood of ordinary Warcraft.
Maybe... it has something to do with the process of its domestication.
After taking a look at the river pirate boss who was still howling in pain, Benjamin held him up with water vapor, and the remains of the monsters, dispersed the ice moon blade, and began to fly back.
Fortunately, no other boats were passing by on the river during this time. Therefore, his battle with the river pirate boss did not attract the attention of others and would not lead to any other unexpected events.
After a while, he returned to Serra Town and landed safely at the original place. At this moment, the mages had also dealt with the other river bandits and were waiting at the ferry. When they saw Benjamin returning victoriously, they immediately gathered around and discussed the battle just now with great interest.
"Teacher Benjamin, you have been fighting for a long time... We almost thought you couldn't beat the guy riding the monster."
Benjamin shook his head, pointed to the remains of the monster, and said, "Let's pack these things away first. Although I don't know what kind of monster it is, it might be useful in the future."
Hearing this, everyone nodded. Two potion mages came out, endured the stench, and began to clean up the body of the tiger-shaped monster that was chopped into several pieces.
As for Benjamin, he was not in a hurry to deal with the river pirate boss. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the group of townspeople huddled beside him.
When the river pirate boss appeared, he revealed the identity of Benjamin and his group. In this town, wanted notices were posted on notice boards, and Benjamin had to worry about the possibility of his whereabouts being leaked.
Therefore, he walked towards the townspeople.
"Mr. Master, is it... have you killed that flying tiger?" However, somewhat unexpectedly, the townspeople looked at him without showing any fear, and their straight eyes looked even... Still a little excited.
Benjamin was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.
"Master Mage, then...will you kill the remaining river bandit as well?" The old man who looked like the mayor also spoke and asked cautiously.
"Well... although I still have questions to ask him, after I finish asking them, I will definitely kill him." Benjamin replied.
Suddenly, all the townspeople had expressions of relief on their faces, and some even cried with excitement.
The old man stood up, walked to Benjamin, and bowed deeply.
"We don't know who you are, and we don't care what the wanted notice says. But... you are the benefactors of Sierra Town, and you will always be."
Benjamin was flattered.
At that moment, he suddenly realized what all this meant to the residents of the town.
After living in the shadow of river pirates for so many days, fearful and food-strapped, how much hatred should they have for those gang of river pirates
If the river pirates continue to cause trouble, the situation in Serra Town will definitely get worse and worse. People who can afford it will try their best to move out of the town. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, who can't escape, will eventually end up because they can't get together. They were killed by river pirates when they gave away food. To put it bluntly, this town has entered the advanced stage of cancer, and it may not be long before the name Ikol will no longer exist on the map.
The appearance of Benjamin and his team removed the most terrifying tumor for them. In other words, they gave the town of Sierra a new lease of life.
Therefore, they faced Benjamin with this attitude.
After saying those words of thanks, the old man who looked like the mayor walked up to the notice board, tore off the wanted notice on it, tore it into pieces, and sprinkled it into the river.
"Mayor, that was issued by Her Majesty the Queen..." someone exclaimed.
"We have reported the river pirates so many times, but where is Her Majesty the Queen?" The old man stood hunched over the ferry and said, "Her Majesty the Queen did not protect us, but someone did."
Benjamin stood on the edge, watching the fragments of their portraits sink into the bottomless Feite River like falling leaves.
He understood the mayor's intention.
Benjamin and his party killed nearly a hundred river bandits without hesitation, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, they might also kill the remaining townspeople. Therefore, in order to express to Benjamin that they would never leak the secret, the old man tore the wanted notice into pieces and threw it into the river.
The old man wants to protect the remaining townspeople...
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but shook his head. He had no intention of killing people and silencing them. Killing these defenseless townspeople was really not something they could do.
"It's okay, you guys... go home." He looked at the townspeople, shrugged and said.
The townspeople nodded one after another, bowed to Benjamin in unison, and dispersed.
As for Benjamin, he also turned around and returned to the group of mages. He gave some instructions to the mages, and then they boarded the boat docked at the ferry with the river pirate boss controlled by the steam pillar and various luggage.
—The river pirates have been wiped out by the mages. Now, this boat that originally belonged to the river pirates has naturally become their trophy.
To be honest, none of them knew how to sail a boat. But it doesn't matter, they still have magic.
After collecting the anchor, Benjamin used the Pillar of Steam, and other mages also took action, using all kinds of wind magic. Finally, the ship left the shore and floated aimlessly along the current.
However, they don't care.
In fact, all they need is to move their location.
Although the town of Serra Town made such a statement, the bounty on the wanted warrant was still very high after all, and someone might still inform on him. But using such a ship, Benjamin and his party could quickly leave Serra Town.
As long as you run far away, it doesn't really matter if anyone snitches on you.
After the ship left the shore, they put away their magic and checked the structure of the entire ship. From the inside, this is a rather simple and crude ship, with just one large room for people to sleep in, comparable to that of a slave ship. As for the other messy rooms, they probably include warehouses, animal cages, captain's rooms... Benjamin didn't have time to check them all.
—They didn’t plan to stay on the ship for long.
Choosing a room at random, Benjamin brought the tied up river pirate boss in, closed the door, and prepared to learn about taming monsters.
A healing water balloon was slapped on the opponent's face, which stopped the bleeding slightly and also woke up the somewhat unconscious river pirate boss.
"Let me ask you, how did you make that monster completely obedient?"
The river pirate boss came back to his senses and looked at Benjamin, with a look of pain still showing between his brows.
"...If I tell you, will you let me live?"
Benjamin was too lazy to lie. He shook his head and said, "If you tell me, I can make your death easier."
Suddenly, the river pirate boss became tough again and said, "Then don't think about it. No matter how much you torture me, I will never tell you a word."
"Really?" Hearing this, Benjamin was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded and showed an unprecedented friendly smile. "I also want to try to see how many torture methods I can do with my current ability. ?”
“…”
Probably because the wound was hurting again, the river pirate boss stared at Benjamin's smile and suddenly shuddered.
