Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 74 The Grey Sea

Just as the atmosphere in this room was tense and the pins could be heard, the silence was broken by a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Gregory said in a deep tone to the people outside the door.

With permission, Andre, who had just been sent by Gregory to deliver his luggage, walked in unhurriedly, and at this time he changed into a black and white deacon shirt, and looked a little more deacon.

As soon as he entered the door, André sensed the tense atmosphere in the room, he first glanced at Brandon and the others with the wrong expression in surprise, and then took a few steps closer respectfully, bowed down and whispered to Gregory, "Lord Gregory, thanks to the favor of Lady Tina, the Lord of the Storm, the Suzuka is ready, and according to the navigator's report, there is no wind and waves in the waters near Vikz today, we can sail at any time, Captain Anos asked me to come and ask you what the goal of this voyage is." ”

After saying this, Andre hesitated slightly, but still added in a softer voice: "In addition, the subordinates seem to feel that Lord Anos is a little dissatisfied with your temporary voyage, and when I went to the cabin, Captain Anos was punishing several slaves. And Captain Anos also let me remind you that the last 'cargo' is still on board. ”

"'Goods'?

After listening to this, Gregory frowned and whispered, and then the fat on his cheeks shook, and finally remembered what he was talking about 'goods',

"Wait, is it ...... Anos, that bastard, why is that thing still on the ship?"

Gregory suddenly sprang up with a frightened face, and was about to explain something to Andre, when the fat businessman suddenly thought that there were some outsiders around him, including even Brandon, a ruthless guy, even if his customers were hard enough backstage, it was better to be careful about those goods after all.

After thinking about it for a while, Gregory stood up, snorted lightly, and pretended to clear his throat and said to Brandon: "Brother Brandon, since the little brother has told us the destination, we should also work, and we must be worthy of the price of the little brother, right? I also arranged the old place on the ship for your mercenary group, I think, I don't need to take you there personally, right?"

Hearing the meaning of Gregory's words, the green tendons on Brandon's forehead, who was already a little angry, trembled, and was about to attack, but after a while, now the Suzuka is still docked in the core port of Wickz after all, even if the group of city defense guys are slack about the situation near Second Avenue, but the people who make trouble in the port still can't get any good fruit to eat.

Thinking of this, Brandon suppressed his anger with a displeased face—of course, without the interference of Roger's 'Seven Deadly Sins', it would have been relatively easy to control his emotions—and glanced at the smiling fat merchant expressionlessly, and then got up and left the room without looking back, presumably to join up with the companions who had ambushed Roger.

"Mr. Gregory, since there is nothing to do, let's go down first. ”

Glancing at the back of Brandon leaving angrily, Roger stood up and said goodbye to Gregory quite consciously without Gregory rushing away.

Gregory, who can make Brandon deflated and forcibly dragged into this troubled water, may have let him have a few points in Vikz himself, but when he gets to the sea, in the end it is still his home turf, and if that bastard wants to eat the fat sheep in front of him, he still has to rely on himself after all.

Thinking of this, the little calculations that belonged to the businessman in Gregory's heart came out again, and squeezed out all the fears of Brandon by the way.

"It's easy to say," Gregory squinted, in a good mood, and sent his attendant to the room, "Andre, you go and arrange the rooms for a few guests, a few children are a little seasick, so arrange them in the cabin in the middle of the Suzuka." As for Anos, I'll go and explain it to him myself, so let's go. ”

After expressing his gratitude to the fat merchant again, Roger took the Truth Club and his party out of the room with Andre, leaving Gregory alone on the soft sofa with a happy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Well, it's starting to shake again, the boat looks big, why is it not stable at all? wave after wave, I just want to find a place to sleep now. ”

Reluctantly stepping out of Ggregory's rather comfortable room and stepping back on the rickety deck, Juan swayed himself and complained as he went, "It was better to eat sand in the desert than to suffer at sea." ”

This Juan was an unintentional complaint, but it made Andre, who was silently leading the way, a young man who had served Gregory for many years, always seemed to be smiling and respectful, but in fact he was one of Gregory's most trusted thinkers.

In fact, he has been the head of the Chamber of Commerce for many years, and André has helped Gregory deal with many tricky transactions over the years, and as for those shady pickling businesses, it is always through the hands of this person.

"Desert?, Master Gregory said, this group of people is supposed to be from a little-known magic academy in the province of Cyprus, but it is located on the edge of the plains of the Holy Spirit, and they have never heard of any deserts.

There are no deserts even in the surrounding countries, and the nearest desert is the Samoris Desert in the Great Rift Valley, where the orc tribe is located, would anyone come so far to study?"

For some reason, André was very familiar with the situation in Sabbath and the surrounding countries, and knew that even in an era when magic was particularly advanced, ordinary people could only know the place under their lord's jurisdiction at best, which is why Roger easily deceived Brandon.

"There seems to be something strange about this group of people, and it looks like adults need to be reminded. ”

André thought to himself, cautious by nature, to be too distracted by this group of strange magic apprentices.

Although he didn't know why Lord Gregory suddenly wanted to cooperate with the notorious Hurricane Mercenary Group, since cooperating with Brandon had become a reality, it was better to follow the Hurricane Mercenary Group's arrangement first, at best, he would have reminded Master Gregory to take more precautions later.

When Andrei was distracted and thinking, he had already led a few people down the creaking wooden stairs to the lower cabin, and the damp and rotten musty smell of wood instantly filled the nostrils of several people.

Because the Suzuka was once the flagship of the Royal Navy, it was designed to serve more for combat, although the cabins of the whole ship look numerous, but most of the cabins are combat functional cabins such as war rooms and navigation rooms, and the unique design concept makes them difficult to be transformed into ordinary cabins, therefore, there are only a few two-story cabins that can really accommodate people on the Suzuka.

Andre was quite familiar with leading everyone through the intricate passages, shuttling between the wooden cabins of the Suzuka, going around and around, and finally stopped in front of the doors of several cabins on the first floor, he still had a formulaic smile on his face, bowed down and raised his hand to introduce: "The three rooms here are a few rooms, the sea conditions are simple, and I hope a few people don't mind." ”

"It's okay, it's good to have a place to live, in fact, we originally planned to fly all the way with the help of levitation, which can save some trouble, but we didn't expect that the flow of magic on the gray sea was too manic, and it was really not suitable for an apprentice like us to fly, and we flew not far before coming back in disgrace. ”

Roger politely pressed down the polished wooden doorknob to reveal a dim and austere cabin, through which a few rays of sunlight shone through the square porthole, and through it, the raging sea of gray outside seemed to shrink to the size of a palm.

A few old wooden beds were laid against the wall, emitting a stronger musty smell than those in the hallway, and the wooden beds said to be beds, but in fact they were nothing more than long planks nailed together and covered with a layer of linen sheets.

Roger didn't show any surprise in this, it was strange for a room like Gregory to appear on a ship, and this was the normal cabin appearance of this era.

After listening carefully to Roger's words, Andre, who was standing at the door, stretched out his hand and shook the dust, before he smiled slightly and explained: "Don't say that you apprentices can't fly on the Gray Sea, even those official mages have a headache about it, and this is why this sea area is called the Gray Sea." ”

Seeing everyone's doubts, Andre continued to explain: "According to your mage's perennial research, the sky above the ocean that surrounds the continent is filled with countless primordial magical turbulence, and as the distance away from the continent increases, the degree of magical chaos will become more and more intense.

After surpassing the limit of Moro to reach the Endless Sea, the chaotic magic not only cannot support flight, but even affects the normal activities of mages, only high-level mages can barely fly in the ocean, breaking through the fog of magic, for most people, the sky of the ocean is always gray, so this place is called the gray sea, which means the gray sky of the realm. ”

"Of course, you can rest assured that all ocean-going ships that can sail on the endless sea are equipped with closed circles, which can isolate the influence of magical turbulence on everyone to the greatest extent, and you can rest assured that you can repair on the Suzuka. ”

Roger naturally knows these things, and I believe that Elway and Alley also know something, but someone explains it for himself, which is better than bothering himself and saving trouble, Roger naturally took the lead in expressing his gratitude to Andre.

"You're welcome," dodging Roger's outstretched hand without a trace, Andre bowed slightly, "If you don't have any problems, you will retire first, and there may be a slight bump in the sail when the meeting starts, please pay attention, in addition, Mr. Gregory has arranged a meal for you in the restaurant on the fourth floor at dinner time, and I hope you will join in then." ”
