Chapter 142 Dragon Eagle Arthur
"Hey, stop yelling, it's too noisy." Then he squatted down and wiped the eyeballs and bloodstains from the short blade all over the pirate's clothes. "Ugh, it's so dirty. If this knife wasn't so expensive, I wouldn't even want it."
He used the back of his knife to smash the throat of the pirate rolling on the ground. The screams stopped instantly, and the narrow hold returned to silence.
“Hmm, it’s better to keep quiet.” Keslan stood up again, looking at the last remaining pirate.
“They won’t listen to my advice, what do you think?” He sniffed. “Damn, have you no shame? You actually lost control of your bladder, that’s disgusting, absolutely disgusting!”
Unable to bear it any longer, Keslan didn't waste any words. He directly launched a hidden weapon, which struck the nearly paralyzed pirate between the eyebrows. The force was so great that it sent the pirate flying and pinned him to the wall of the cabin.
"I'm not playing anymore, I can't stay here a second longer, it's too filthy with these trashy people." Keslan turned around and picked Jiang Yu up in his arms, seemingly preparing to leave.
"Hey, is it really okay to go out now?" Jiang Yu was suddenly picked up by him and unconsciously hugged Keslan's neck. Goodness, he was so tall that it really felt like he was off the ground.
Jiang Yu unconsciously moved closer, causing Keslan's muscles to stiffen for a moment. He had never hugged another woman before, and this woman was indeed incredibly soft. She hadn't showered for several days, yet she didn't have any unpleasant odor.
Keslan's fingers tightened involuntarily, and to cover his embarrassment, he raised his voice slightly.
“We’ve made such a commotion, why do you think no one came down to check?” He gestured for Jiang Yu to prick up her ears and listen carefully. “Shh, listen, a fight has broken out outside.”
Jiang Yu had been so focused on the hellish interior of the lower deck that he only noticed the faint sounds of fighting coming from the deck after Keslan reminded him.
Lin Yi's army arrived so quickly.
Keslan stared, somewhat stunned, at Jiang Yu's quiet demeanor in his arms. This Lord Jiang Yu was indeed stunningly beautiful, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen. Being so close to her now, he was even more overwhelmed by her beauty.
If her outstanding appearance alone wasn't enough to make him look at her differently, her intelligence and calm demeanor, which she had only spent a few days with, had also left a deep impression on him. He began to understand why the arrogant young master of the Kong family was so stubborn, and he also began to understand why Jiang Yu's two husbands valued her so much.
But he was the one who knew her biggest secret, and even her two husbands probably didn't know much about her. Thinking this, he felt a secret joy.
He deliberately said, "I didn't find the right opportunity to take you away because of the battle between the two sides. I originally hid here to find the pirates' lair. It's not me who caused you to suffer these past few days, it's that old madman."
Jiang Yu looked at him speechlessly: "Brother, there's no need to explain so much. I don't blame you, okay? I won't shortchange you a single penny of the money I owe you."
"..." He really wasn't after the money! Do you know how much that cloak cost? Do you know how much his earrings and his dagger cost, you damn woman! Does he look like someone who needs money?!
His frustration manifested itself in his actions; with a single punch, he shattered the side bulkhead of the cabin. The lower deck where they were was almost at the waterline, and seawater rushed in through the crack.
“Let me help them end this conflict quickly.” Keslan smiled smugly, then let out a short, sharp whistle. Just as Jiang Yu was wondering what he was yelling for no reason, a loud response came from afar.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the response was already within reach. Keslan, holding Jiang Yu, leaped from the crack and landed steadily on the back of a jet-black creature covered with scale-like feathers.
It turned out to be a jet-black dragon eagle.
Keslan is actually a Dragonhawk Knight.
Jiang Yu's eyes widened. Even Lin Yi had never tamed a dragon eagle. Very few people could tame a dragon eagle. Dragon eagles didn't care about your wealth or status; they were extremely proud and rare powerful creatures. You had to rely on your own abilities to find a dragon eagle and gain its approval to tame it.
Dragonhawk Knights hold a very high status in the Empire. If a Dragonhawk Knight is willing to serve the Empire, he will receive a very generous reward. Moreover, the reward for each mission belongs to the Dragonhawk Knight, and he only needs to pay taxes to the Empire according to a certain percentage.
Jiang Yu had seen dragon eagles before, but they were usually light-colored, mostly gray or bluish-gray. He had only seen dark brown and dark gray ones in the royal palace. The darker the color of the dragon eagle, the stronger it was. The dragon eagles of Keslan were actually pure black, which gave Jiang Yu a more concrete understanding of Keslan's strength.
"How does it feel? This is the first time anyone has ever ridden on Arthur's back besides me," Keslan said smugly. Now this woman must think he's super cool and super strong.
"It feels pretty good. To be honest, this is my first time riding a dragon eagle." Jiang Yu sincerely praised it. It was indeed very cool. The dragon eagle's appearance was very similar to the Western dragons she knew, except that it had a pair of huge eagle wings and hard, scale-like feathers all over its body. It was also much smaller than a Western dragon, but larger than a griffin, and could only be ridden by two people at most. The pure black dragon eagle was simply the extreme opposite of the snow-white aurora pegasus.
Hearing Jiang Yu say that, Keslan became even more smug. Jiang Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch Arthur's head. Arthur gently shook his head, exhaled a puff of hot air from his nose, and let out a soft whistle.
"It's strange that it likes you." Keslan was somewhat incredulous, but then a soft smile appeared where Jiang Yu couldn't see. After all, Arthur and he were of one mind, and Arthur should have sensed his interest in her.
"Sit still." Keslan placed Jiang Yu in front of him, making sure she was seated properly, then wrapped one arm tightly around her waist and patted Arthur with the other.
Arthur, having received his master's instruction, let out a long howl and soared into the sky at an incredible speed. If Jiang Yu had anything to compare it to, it would probably be a roller coaster.
Jiang Yu can now look down on the battle from his vantage point, and the sudden appearance of the two is like a pebble thrown into the water, attracting the attention of both sides.
Dozens of fiery griffins appeared in the air surrounding the ship, most of them vermilion, and there were even a few red king griffins. Jiang Yu immediately understood that although Lin Yi was not present, he had sent most of his elite personal guards, especially his highly capable adjutant.
She was relieved. It seemed that Lin Yi should have returned to the capital to reunite with Qingyin. With the two of them together, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, they would be invincible. She had nothing to worry about.
Excellent! This way, both the Jiang and Lin families can be preserved under the emperor's suspicion.
Lin Yi's personal guard rushed forward at full speed. The speed of the pureblood griffins and king griffins was terrifying. Obviously, the pirates underestimated their strength and even thought they would wait until the island ahead before retreating. As a result, they were caught off guard.
The Imperial Guard didn't waste any words with them. They had already received accurate information from General Jiang Ren in the capital and immediately began to overwhelm them upon meeting.
These stubborn pirates had almost exhausted the adjutant's patience. He understood the important position of Lord Jiangyu in the general's heart. This time, the general was unable to come to rescue his wife in person due to the constraints of his family, and he almost frantically begged him to ensure Lord Jiangyu's safety.
He felt a great responsibility and was more anxious and panicked than anyone else.
Lord Jiangyu absolutely cannot be harmed.
So without hesitation, he killed half of the pirates with a wave of his hand, completely disregarding their empty oaths and lies, and began searching every cabin one by one.
Seeing that there was no way to turn back and knowing that he could not escape death, the pirate leader shouted exaggeratedly in fear and despair: "Lord Jiang Yu and Lord Chen Xin have long been chopped into mincemeat by us! Hahahaha!"
The adjutant watched expressionlessly as a crimson griffin ripped his head open with a single talon, but inside he was terrified.
It would be better to chop him into mincemeat.
But soon, with the appearance of a pure black dragon-eagle, he saw Lord Jiangyu appear safely. While letting out a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but curse under his breath:
"Who the hell is this man?"
