"He's sick. Bertram shrugged, "But he's still a mage...... Don't look at him like this, he's reliable. ”

Isis could only give him a roll of the eye.

Bertram smiled nonchalantly, walked over to Captain Grufeld, and whispered something to him.

"There's something going on over there in the bay. "We didn't get ......too close," he said.

Isis turned his head and looked around sullenly, no longer listening.

The place was a bit like Ankramaras's lair on the edge of a glacial lake, accessible only through an underwater passageway, with a flat surface jutting out of the water, like a small island, and overhead, the staggered black rocks resembled a sloping triangular roof, and the faint wind crept in through some crevice, whining.

Bertram was right, it's a very secluded place...... But Iss still felt a little uneasy.

Gischel, the half-elf isn't here. Bangbu spread out his limbs and lay on the ground to dry, and the stone sat by the water, looking at the fish for a while, looking at him for a while, laughing and not knowing what he was thinking. Zhan Xi really regarded him as a child who needed to be taken care of, running around constantly, giving him food for a while, bringing him water for a while, and even changing his clothes in the blink of an eye, so that he didn't have time to resist.

“...... What are you doing here?" he asked, "are you here to hunt for treasure? It's called Treasure Bay, but there's really no treasure." ”

He thought his tone was a little awkward, but he couldn't keep a cold face at a guy who was so simple and friendly...... Even if that friendliness is mostly due to the fact that he seems to be just a weak and harmless little boy now.

He had realized that perhaps it was some kind of self-protective instinct that he had become like this, as if he had broken out of his shell in the form of a human baby. The weak and helpless form always makes humans unconsciously let their guard down...... But such instincts were against his will. It made him depressed.

"No treasure hunting. Jancyy smiled and shook her head, "We're looking for the boat." ”

"yes, I should have asked you that. ”

Bertram paced. He bent down at him, with a serious expression: "Have you ever seen a boat in the bay with a unicorn on its bow? ”

Iss frowned: "There is no such thing as a unicorn. ”

Bertram looked at him with tears and laughter.

“...... But it seems that there is such a ship. Isis said.

There were two ships in the bay, one large three-masted with black sails, and the other about half the size of a black sailer, with a slender hull and ordinary white sails. A silver horn sticks out of the bow of the ship.

Bertram let out a long sigh of relief and looked back at Captain Grufeld.

"That's our ship. He said.

"Our ship!" Jancy repeated with a happy nod, "the Unicorn." The fastest and fastest boat!"

"But we were put on the pirate sidelines. Bertram's face was gloomy, "They robbed our ship...... And killed quite a few of us. ”

Isz counted the heads again—and with Gisel and the sick mage, there were only seven of them.

"You don't want to rely on this little man to get the ship back, do you?" he asked.

Bertram scratched his head: "What about this...... We didn't expect there to be so many people in the bay when we came - but we were going to get the boat back anyway. ”

Iss looked down and thought about it. That ship is really not big. If he turns back into a dragon. It's easy to drag it out......

"I'll help you. He said, "Then we will settle the two sides." ”

Bertram laughed, "You don't like to owe favors to others?"

Isis kept a straight face and said nothing—he didn't like it, and he didn't want to have anything to do with more people. Dragons are supposed to be loner creatures that live freely without any worries...... But he already had too many concerns.

There was a fluctuation on the water, and Gichel emerged from the water, still looking like everyone owed her a bag of gold coins.

"They're coming!" she said, "Are you being followed?!"

"Impossible!" Bangbu jumped up immediately. "We're careful! Even if someone is followed, it won't be me!"

"Don't be so nervous. Bertram reassured. "They're supposed to just be around the corner...... There's no way they're going to find out here. ”

“...... Not necessarily. Isis spoke.

“...... What did you do?" the half-elf glared at him, as if he wanted to stab him in the face.

Iss didn't know where she got so much resentment...... Even if she knew he was a dragon, would he have eaten her whole family?

He avoided her gaze and made up his mind to continue ignoring her.

"They can track me. That's what he's been worried about, he says: "They have a good mage...... And they have what belongs to me, and with that, they can find me wherever I am, no matter what I become—that's why I'm telling you it's not safe!"

"Oh......" the sickly mage struggled to his feet, "I know...... I know that kind of spell...... I can interfere with that...... Uh, let me find ......"

He dragged a dirty cloth bag over and began to rummage through it.

“...... It's too late. "You'd better leave as soon as possible, they're looking for me." ”

Everyone looked at Bertram, but Bertram looked at Grufeld.

"Captain?" he asked.

"We're not on board right now. Grufeld said calmly, "It's up to you." ”

Bertram was silent for a moment, then clapped his hands violently.

"Pack your things, go out through the exit on the left, go ashore, and go to the place where we last hid. He said, "Stone ......," and he casually pointed to Is, "Take him with you." ”

Isis jumped up in exasperation: "Is there anything you don't understand......? And they can find me!"

"Terry. Bertram ignored him again, "Whatever you do, use it as soon as possible, he can't be found now." ”

Then he turned to Is: "You said you would help us get our ship back, but with you now, it is impossible. We will protect you until you regain your strength...... It's not for you, so you don't have to feel like you owe us anything. ”

Iss glared at him fiercely - this is a strong word!

But Stone didn't care about that, and he very obediently ran over and grabbed Is, and caught him under his arm as Bertram had done before.

Is's face turned grim and he kept his mouth shut, not resisting—that would only make the scene even more ugly.

While everyone was moving, Bertram stood there, staring at the water.

“...... You're not going to leave. Gichel said.

Bertram smiled, "Yes...... I'll find a way to drag them off for a while. ”

"And then turn into a corpse to feed the fish?" Gischelle snorted, as if she could never say anything nice.

“...... No. Bertram's smile became a little bitter, "They won't kill me easily...... It's been so long since I've used this identity, so long that I've forgotten that it's not worthless—I'm Bertram of the Grean family, and I'm worth at least a large ransom anyway. And...... What better way to get close to the Unicorn?".
