The Sunfish had been sailing for more than ten minutes, and Darko and the others were still standing on the deck of the ship, watching Qom Island, which was gradually disappearing at the junction of sea and sky. It was their first stop on the Venus plane, and the starting point for the rest of their adventure, and they probably wouldn't be able to return to the island again.

Darko was also looking into the distance, knowing that the expedition would last at least nearly a year, until the Dead Ruins were opened. Two years ago, he also went to the Otherworld, when he ran to the Mercury Plane alone to escape the pursuit, and he was full of reluctance and apprehension, but this time it was completely different, because Phyllis was by his side.

Darko turned his head to look at Phyllis lying on the side of the ship, the golden show fluttered on Darko's face with the wind, and he felt very comfortable. Phyllis was aware of this, turned her head to see Darko's gaze, she smiled and stretched out her hand, tiptoed Darko's head and asked, "What's wrong?

"Nothing. Darko suddenly couldn't help but wrap his arms around Phyllis's waist and let her head rest on his chest, "It's good to have you here." ”

"Ahem. Kevin coughed and walked to the other side of the boat with Otto in his arms.

Phyllis patted Darko's chest, "Hey, you're blocking out the sea breeze." ”

"Hmm. Darko was about to speak, but suddenly he faintly heard something, and looked around but found nothing. Darko shouted to Kevin and Otto, who were not far away, "Is that your voice?"

Kevin and Otto looked back, both puzzled.

Phyllis was also curious, "What? I can only hear the sound of the waves." ”

Darko shook his head, listening more but not hearing again. Kevin and Otto also walked over, and Darko shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "It's like someone is calling for help in the distance, but it's intermittent and inaudible." ”

"Could it be Aciba? Did it accidentally fall into the sea when it fed the fish with vomit at the stern?" Otto looked at the stern with some concern, but he clearly saw Aciba lying on the deck, with only one large head sticking out of the boat, and not falling.

Phyllis listened for a while with her eyes closed, and said, "I heard it too, like a child's voice, could it be that someone died on this ship and then turned into a resentful spirit?" Haha, great, I'm going to grab a few refining spiritual power crystals." ”

Kevin ignored Phyllis's wild imagination, for he could faintly hear a voice, and he poked his head out of the deck to look down, and suddenly saw a figure behind him, so he pointed to it and exclaimed, "There, somebody's picking up the outer edge of our ship! Oh my God, what sailor is so unprofessional, and he would fall out of the porthole?"

Darko and the others also hurriedly poked their heads out to look down, and sure enough, they saw a figure at one of the portholes closest to the bottom of the hull, and they carefully identified it as a little boy. The little boy was on the edge of the porthole, floating with the waves and looking like he could fall down at any moment.

Phyllis called a sailor, pointed to the porthole where the little boy was, and asked, "What cabin is there, and how could anyone fall out?"

The sailor was puzzled for a moment before he said, "The bottom is the oars room, and the oars will only come in handy when the magic array and sails are not available. Now that all the oars rooms are locked, no one can enter them, and the Sailors' Guild has set an age limit of 16 years old, so this kid can't be a sailor on our ship. ”

"Not the sailor on our ship, so he climbed up on his own?" Kevin wondered, "Could it be that he came to find his father? ”

Darko hurriedly urged, "Don't care who it is, let's get people up first." ”

It took a minute for several sailors to run to the corresponding paddle room, stretched out the oars and pulled the little boy up. Darko and the others soon saw the little boy in the cabin, and at this time he was drenched and shivering. Even so, Darko recognized him at a glance, "You're that kid from the Sailor's Guild!"

After receiving Darko's reminder, Phyllis and the others also remembered that this child was the same child who had recommended themselves to them when they were in the Sailors' Guild. Phyllis turned her head to the little boy and said, "Do you think you're a starfish?

The little boy was not afraid of life, and looked at Phyllis and exclaimed excitedly, "Ah...... I know you...... It was that day...... To hire sailors...... Hello...... My name is Fokker ......"

Since the little boy had been shivering with cold and drumming as he spoke, Phyllis commanded, "Let's help him dry the water first." ”

Darko and Kevin each held out a hand and placed it on Falk's shoulder. I saw that the scattered water droplets on Fokker's body were gradually gathered, and even the wet clothes were drawn out of small streams, all of which gathered into Darko's palm. Kevin released wisps of fire element, which were evenly distributed throughout Faulk's body, helping him regulate his body temperature through the heat of magic.

Darko's mana control ability has been perfected, and with the fact that he has learned a lot of knowledge about magic circles with Bandaka, he is able to use the drainage technique to different effects in various situations, and the use of this kind of water droplets on the surface of the body is only a small test. As for Kevin, it is entirely based on his own understanding of the fire element, so that the output reaches a kind of finger-inducing precision, and only then does it achieve the effect of moderate warming.

Falk only felt that the sea water on his body disappeared in an instant, and the cold body temperature quickly returned to normal, he looked at the two hands on his shoulders, and his eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you using magic? You can still use such an effect, it's amazing, Uncle Miro in the town can also shoot light and bullet skills, it looks very powerful, but it definitely doesn't have the ability of you." ”

Darko looked at Fakker curiously, knowing at such a young age that strength is not measured by the destructiveness of magic, which shows that he is also very talented.

Phyllis asked directly, "Tell me, how did you get to the ship?" ”

"Ah, that's a long story...... "Fakker smiled brightly, little by little explaining his previous plans. After Fokker's narration, Dakko and others gradually understood the twists and turns. This little boy was from the town of Gaha, and like everyone else, he was very envious of the sailors and pirates who had been going out to sea for many years, but he was too young to let him go on any ship, so he had been planning to sneak aboard the ship.

This time, Fokker and Darko had been to the Sailors' Guild, and knew that they were going to sail for a long voyage, so they had been paying close attention, and sure enough, today I saw them go to sea on the manta ray at noon, and soon came back and boarded the sunfish. So Falk guessed that it might be Darko and the others who had completed the task of picking up people and were about to leave, so he first got an empty wine barrel and slowly rowed to a few hundred meters outside the dock. As the Sunfish approached, the bow of the ship drove the current to the edge of the hull, and Fokker took the opportunity to swim to the Sunfish and grabbed the porthole on the lowest level, ready to sneak aboard. Unfortunately, the reality did not match the plan, he had no strength to climb up to the porthole after soaking in the sea water for a long time, so he could only hang on the outside to call for help, so he was heard and rescued by Darko and others.

After hearing this Fokker deeds, Darko and the others all felt that he was really bold and reckless, and dared to take such a risk at such a young age. Falk was not a sailor after all, and the best way to deal with him was to send him back to the town of Gaha on Qom Island. However, this time they also ran out secretly without saying hello, and they must not be able to go back, so the ownership of this Fokker has become a problem.

Otto was a little worried, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the grandson of the president of the Gaha Town branch of the Sailors' Guild, right?

Fokker was not worried about his grandfather at all, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have run out many times, the longest time, I hid in someone else's ship for more than two months before being sent back." This time it was an accident, and some of them were unfavorable, and they were revealed by you so early. In short, he is very open-minded, he doesn't let me go to sea just because I'm too young, and now I haven't gone back after a few years, he also knows that I have grown up, so naturally I won't worry. ”

Kevin frowned and said, "We don't have a baby-taking crew in our sailors. ”

Fauck hurriedly said, "I'm also a sailor, how can I need someone else to take care of me." I can mop the floor, make soup, read charts, do laundry, light cannons, and operate magic crossbows...... Well, I don't have a lot of energy to do, but I'll be older in a few years......" Fakker rolled his eyes and said, "You're thirsty, aren't you?" I'm going to make you tea. ”

As he spoke, Falk ran into the cabin, apparently on his way to the quarters, as if he knew a lot about the ship's terrain. Dakko and the others were speechless, and Phyllis walked to the side of the boat to blow the sea breeze, and Dacko and the others continued to do their own things as if they had nothing to do, and did not speak again.

After a while, a voice came from the cabin, "You kid has finally gotten on board, haven't you? Tell me how you got up? Fortunately, it has only been out to sea for a short time, so give you a small boat and row back by yourself!"

I saw the first mate walk out of the cabin with Faulk's ear, and the first mate obviously recognized Faulk, obviously taking him for a hot potato. But Faucer suddenly broke free from the first mate's hand, ran to the mast next to him, and climbed up in a puff of smoke.

The first mate shouted upward, "You kid will do this, this time see how long you can be hungry without coming down!"

Fakker quickly climbed to the top of the mast lookout and shouted downward, "I've found myself a job! You lack a lookout here! Not a bird can escape my eyes within ten kilometers!"

The first mate also had no choice but to look at Phyllis and the others as if asking for help, and Darko just shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked to the bow of the boat on his own to accompany Phyllis. Otto didn't find it interesting and walked to the stern of the boat to find Aciba. Finally, Kevin looked up and asked, "Didn't that lookout have sailors before?"

"The ship had three masts, each with lookouts at the same height, so only the front and rear lookouts were equipped with special lookout sailors, who were responsible for the front and rear guards. Each of the two lookouts was equipped with two lookout sailors in rotation, and there were only four lookout sailors on our ship, and the central lookout was always idle. ”

Kevin thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing wrong with adding a lookout sailor, after all, it's good to have an extra pair of eyes, an extra insurance, and be able to go out early in case of danger." ”

The first mate then said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if there are people at the central lookout, after all, the lookouts on both sides must have appeared earlier than the central ones, and even if it is a large seafaring ship with five masts like the Dragon Whale, it is enough to arrange four lookout sailors." ”

Full-time lookout sailors are usually served by archers, who are naturally the best sailors with innate eyesight, and they also need to undergo special training, and it is said that some good lookout sailors can even see the stars during the day. In the eyes of the first mate, Falk was just messing around on the lookout and couldn't do anything at all, so he naturally disdained Kevin's claim that he had an extra pair of eyes. And there is also a loudspeaker magic array on the lookout, as long as the lookout sailor shouts after opening, the whole ship can hear it, maybe this kid Fokker will use the magic array to shout and play when he is bored. But if you do it once, everyone will know that this is a nonsense boy, and they will naturally drive him off the boat, so the first mate is not in a hurry.

Kevin turned his head to look at Phyllis and the others, and saw that no one paid attention to this matter, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Be careful not to let him fall." ”

The first mate was stunned for a moment, and only after a while sighed and nodded, and walked back to the captain's room.
