In the evening, the misty swamp was unusually cold. When Goode saw Glori draped his cloak over his body, he added a handful of dry wood to the fireplace, and Glory wiped off the pale red beads of wine that had slipped off the wooden cup and told the people the story of Rocky's expedition.

In the year 1627 of the Ebel Era, in the height of summer, the Diamond Cave in the Sea of Moonlight. It's a magical place, a place where there are no diamonds but it's called a diamond cave. On the island, there are sharp philosopher's stones called kula, which shimmer with a crystal clear light, and when viewed from the sea in the distance, these philosopher's stones seem to cloak it.

When it was dark, the sun hurried home, and when it alternated with the moon, the sky changed curtains, and the sea changed hue, a deep blue, and the wind blew to play the rhapsody of the night.

At the mast lookout on the adventure ship Lander, Rocky holds a telescope and follows the line between sea and air in search of the Philosopher's Stone. Suddenly, in the distance, several tattered boats appeared on the line between the water and the sky, blazing with blue fire.

Rocky's experience told him that it was a pirate ship roaming the sea of moonlight. He shouted: "Turn the rudder left, accelerate into the Diamond Strait, the pirates are coming!"

The helmsman swung the rudder sharply, and there was no panicked look. He did not hesitate to sail towards the Diamond Strait. This is a veteran crew member who knows a thing or two about sailing. And the sailors were ready to adjust the sails at any time, and the oarsmen swung the oars with shouting slogans.

Diamond Strait is a dangerous place. Especially at night, there is no distant view, no rays from the sun, and it is impossible to see the raised Kula Philosopher's Stone beneath the surface of the sea. If you are pierced by this sharp magic stone, the consequences are unimaginable. And the sea is wide, and there is no place to hide from pirate ships with magical kinetic energy. The Lodge expedition could only defend itself with the help of natural hazards and the guns on the ships. The crew members were put together on an improvised basis, and they were all bold men from the bottom of society, who would do anything to find treasure. Of course, there is no substitute for them in terms of technology, and in the words of Lodge praising Perrin: "There is no one who can be trusted to be at the helm anymore, except Perrin Ga".

As a captain, you need to rely on his crew. Perrin gestured with his left hand and steadfasted the rudder with his right hand, and the sailors followed the signal to adjust the sails, while from time to time he threw a ray of orange and green magic light into the sea at the bow of the ship. The stone appears in the light and sinks to the bottom, returning to a larger wave circle when it hits the object under the influence of magic, and Rocky informs Perrin of the distance of the obstacle based on his observations.

With the tacit cooperation and mutual trust of the crew, the Lander sailed through the Diamond Strait to the Diamond Cave. Seeing the determined eyes of the crew, Rocky gave everyone a thumbs up with a confidence on his face that he had never felt before. The sails changed suddenly, bypassing various wrecks and the raised Magic Stone of Kula, and the Lander seemed to have a soul.

Unexpectedly, the pirate ship in the distance followed closely because of the abundant magical kinetic energy, and finally met the adventure ship in a whirlpool. Then, artillery fire rang out.

Rocky took out the diary in his arms and attached the last signature and date, then put it in a magic bag and put it back in his arms: "Damn luck, since the praying people were taken and turned into slaves, the god of light has ignored it, it must be hungry and in the mood to care about us." ”

"Fight! Fearless landers!" the crew drew their swords and fought the pirates who jumped over.

Somehow, the wind roared even more violently. Rocky fell to the side of the ship with the deflection of the mast, and the diary in his bosom was blown down. So, Captain Lodge jumped into the rushing sea following the diary's tracks.

No one could have predicted that the sea would suddenly become a hurricane and a huge wave would gradually form. The raging waves ended the battle, and the Lander swept into the depths of the strait.

The sea is always fair, and only the brave can gallop on it...... Maybe some luck too.

From the story of the Rocky Expedition back to the present. Hunting cabins late at night, a little lively. At night, there are hunters and traders who stop here, and the smell of fine wine is always filled with the chatter of trading goods.

Gloriy Carlos was a little tired, and seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to finish the last cup of sword shark sauce. He sorted out his thoughts: "Boss Snake, have another drink." "This wine is not strong, but its fishy smell is more sobering.

The crowd listened to Glori's story and ate the dried shark with a sword. The old hunter felt that there was something to be done, and touched the cup with Glori, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are they still alive later?"

Glori took Goode's sauce and took two sips in quick succession. He then went on to tell the ......

At that time, the wind had not yet stopped, and the bad temper of the sea had long since been exhausted, and Captain Rocky, who had sunk to the bottom, was fortunate to have clung to a torn plank and was carried out of the whirlpool of the channel by a gust of current.

"Damn luck, dragon god bless. Rocky's vision was blurry, and his clothes were soaking wet. He let go of the plank and swam vigorously to the shallows of the Diamond Cave. He was a little excited, but he laughed at himself in frustration, and the corners of his mouth that had just been raised fell in a whisper: "It's good now, Peilan, you must be very happy, you can drive the Lander for a lifetime, and be a legendary helmsman for a lifetime......;

Suddenly, an incomparably familiar voice reached Rocky's ears. The owner of the voice was a little angry and a little excited—a man more disheveled than Rocky had come out of the woods behind, bare with somewhat shriveled muscles.

"What a bastard!" Perrin shouted not far away. He dragged a heavy wooden box, shuffling his steps, looking a little unsteady, as if the grains of sand he stepped on were avoiding him. He threw away the rope of the wooden box, choked out of breath, and shouted, "I will pull you with me when I go to hell, you coward who runs away by himself." ”

At this time, Rocky rushed forward desperately and hugged Perrin tightly. There were tears in the corners of his eyes: "Perran, you're still alive!"

Perrin felt the urge to curse, but she endured it. He patted Rocky on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Dragon God bless!"

In this way, the two old guys met again. Lodge gathered a lot of weeds and dead branches from the island, made a nest in the Diamond Cave, and lay down, though still wet.

Rocky still didn't forget to say: "This damn luck, flint and steel can't be used, it's really sad not to have a guy who knows fire magic around these days......" Perrin misses the crew of the ship.

Soon, there was a tired voice from the pirate on the island: "Go over there and see, you ...... You, the guy who rummaged through the wooden box, hurry into the cave and look for it. ”

A small minion was inexplicably kicked on the head by a passing pirate, and the rope of the wooden box he was holding in his hand slipped out, and he didn't feel any pain when he cut his hand, so he got up and picked up the scimitar and walked into the hole.

Rocky shook the sleeping Perrin awake. The two hid in the underground river in the cave and did not dare to make a sound.

The pirate minion didn't seem to be so idiotic, and looked around, and then touched the pile of dry grass and dead branches that had been pressed out, and his eyes even rolled: "There is water here, too, where are the poor worms hiding?" ”

Suddenly, the pirate stabbed his cutlass into the gap between two rocks that were littered with branches. Rocky was pierced in front of Perrin, and Rocky quickly covered his mouth, but blood gushed out of his chest, and Perrin stuffed half of his clothes into Rocky's chest and dragged Rocky deep underwater.

When the pirate minions saw the movement in the water, they shouted, "Crazy captain, I found them!"

Outside the cave, the pirate captain spat out the ribs of a dead man from his mouth, and his face was a little hideous: "What did you find? Do you know what you are looking for? His two sharp teeth were bared, and he couldn't take them back.

Next to the pirate captain, a shark-mouthed man with a torch missing an arm sneered, "...... Ha ha...... Ahaha...... Idiot. The pirate captain turned his head, touched his teeth that he couldn't retract, approached the shark's mouth, and reached out for a stick.

A jungle waterfall on Diamond Cave Island. Rocky was hard-pulled to the shore by Perran: "Rocky, you bastard, don't die in a place like this." ”

At this time, Rocky stared at Perrin who was pressing his wound and laughed. He said, "Perrin, it looks like this time is really over. Sorry, but this time Rocky is really finished. ”

Rocky spat out the bruise deposited in his chest and clenched Perran's hand. Rocky handed the magic bag containing the diary to Perran: "Old friend, I'm afraid we can't find that dream together this time, and the rest is up to you." ”

"You bastard, you have done too many evils, and the dragon god will not bless you now," Perrin took Rocky's diary with tears in his eyes, trying to control his feelings and couldn't help but shout, "Rocky! Rocky...... "Lucky captain Rocky, who had been adventuring half the continent, let go of Perrin's hand, and his life came to an end. Finally, the Rocky expedition's quest to find the Temple of Miracles comes to an end, and everything they have experienced is written in Captain Rocky's diary...... As for the diary, it was taken away by Perran, and Perrin Ga, who lived happily somewhere for the rest of his life. Perhaps, Rocky and his dream have been fulfilled by him.

To this day, there is a proverb that still sings from the mouths of the people who live near the Sea of Moonlight: "When Lucky Rocky meets Perrin the legendary helmsman, he who lands has wings."

Goode, the shopkeeper, changed a few oil lamps and carefully put away seven or eight empty notched ceramic plates: "Yes, as the proverb goes, you need a partner you can rely on to find your dreams. ”

After taking the last sip of the sauce, Glori got up and walked to the front desk, taking out a few silver coins from his pocket to pay off all the rentals. The crowd dispersed.

The old hunter picked up his clothes and said in a sleepy tone, "Good night, young man, and good luck tomorrow, and I hope you will meet a reliable companion like Perrin." He was about to go upstairs when he turned around. "I forgot to tell you, there seems to be someone you're looking for in Sounding Horse Market, remember to check it out. He said.

Standing downstairs, Glori also walked up the stairs with his cloak in his hand: "Uncle Breve, that's great, I'm just passing by there tomorrow, thank you for telling me the news." ”

Back in the house, Glory untied the bandages that the shopkeeper Goode had temporarily tied for him, took out a half-cut bundle of bandages wrapped in a paper tube, tore off a piece, and then opened the cloth bag and took out a bottle of purple-red potion: "When I was on the way, I picked some branches and leaves of the red leaf tree and ground them into medicinal powder, which came in handy at this time. He applied the potion to the wound. His wound was not torn, and it was too neat.

Glori wrapped the new bandage around his body, looked out the window at the moon, and took a sip of the potion he had just taken. The cold fuchsia potion was a little bitter, but it didn't drop from the corner of his mouth. He pursed his lips, plugged the potion bottle with a wooden stopper, and put it back in the package. Then, with his right hand, he touched the sword that glowed slightly blue under the pillow, and then covered it with a rough cloth blanket. "Sword, you are my faithful companion. He said.
