Act XVIII
The sea breeze blows through the side of the ship at night, and the wet and salty wind is a little cold, although the sea regulates the temperature, and the temperature of the North Olympic Union is kept within a relatively suitable range all year round, but at this moment, standing on the deck of the Nautilus still makes people feel cold.
Elandall walked to the terrace in the corner of the ballroom, where he could see the endless ocean of night, and in the distance, the light of the lighthouse shone against the starry night sky.
It was the first time she had seen the sea at night so closely, in the past, Erandall had only heard of the endless ocean of the northern part of the continent and those gorgeous and beautiful wonders from the mouths of the priests in the church, but now, the quiet sea was in front of her eyes, and Irandall gradually calmed down.
Although he said that he could communicate in real time, Rosen did not bother Erandall rashly, but just used his perception to quietly probe the surrounding situation.
"Those people, it's hard to deal with, right?"
At this time, from behind Irandall, a female voice came.
Subconsciously tensed his nerves, Elandall hurriedly turned around, only to remember that it was no longer the night of those hunting heretics, but just a party.
"You are?"
She looked at the other person, it was a girl her age.
The long aqua blue hair flowed at the back of her head, and her blue eyes were as calm as the sea, and the most striking thing was the two cat-like outer ears between the long hair above her head, which added a bit of playfulness and cuteness to the girl.
Although she is not the kind of outstanding beauty, she has a wise temperament, just like a scholar.
But this girl is not a non-teacher, and Irandall immediately noticed that there was no magic fluctuation on the other party.
Converted to a normal level of strength, this girl is an ordinary person, and she has not even reached the Black Iron Rank.
"Ah, it's rude, I saw you here alone, so I wanted to come over and say hello. ”
She smiled a little coyly and continued.
"My name is Fiena Noelle, my father is human, and my mother is Filut, that's why I ...... like this."
Pointing to her slightly trembling ears, the girl, Fina showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Is it mixed......
Irandall could probably feel why she had such a special temperament.
On the continent of Atlas, interracial marriages are not forbidden, but in most cases, they end in tragedy.
Not to mention that in the most widely circulated legend on the mainland, the love affair between the human hero and the elf princess ended with the death of a human and the princess left alone in the empty house, and in most cases, the difference in life span will also lead to all kinds of tribulations in interracial romances.
Moreover, genetic instability also exposes these offspring to strange eyes.
Like Fina in front of Elandall, although most of them look the same as humans, but only two ears are the beast ears of the Firut tribe, such a person, if there is no support in human society, will soon become the plaything of some special lovers, and in the Firut tribe, it is impossible to truly integrate into their society.
"Edlandall Scarlett. ”
Despite this, Irandall maintained a certain vigilance.
"Are you visiting the city of a thousand islands?"
Seeing that Edlandall didn't say anything, Fina also walked over to the railing, leaning on the somewhat cold guardrail, and looking at the lighthouse that was fading away in the distance.
"Yes. ”
Edlander looked at the girl and was about to ask about the situation in the city of the Thousand Islands, but behind her, there was a sound of footsteps, which made her turn again.
It was a middle-aged man in a formal dress, followed by two big men of the Filut tribe, who looked like bodyguards.
"Miss Noelle, I didn't expect us to meet again. ”
As he spoke, his tone was not at all the kind of old friend meeting, but with a more playful tone.
"Mr. Dodge......"
Fina flickered between her words, as if she didn't really want to face the Mr. Dodge.
"When will your father's debt be paid?"
Dodge walked over slowly, his leather boots clattering on the ground.
Irandall didn't say anything, she found that Fina subconsciously kept a distance from herself the moment she found Dodge, and her hands tightly grasped the corners of her skirt, as if she was very nervous.
"That's a conspiracy, Mr. Dodge, my father was framed. ”
Fina whispered, her voice trembling a little.
"So what, so what?"
Dodge said, and the aggressive momentum made some people around look at it too, but it seemed that because of the power of Mr. Dodge, no one dared to stop him.
"No matter what the reason, it is clearly written in the contract that your father is the guarantor, so the 200,000 gold coins can only be compensated by your father, and since the old man is dead, it is natural for you, the daughter, to pay it back. ”
He leaned over and said to Fina at close range, and even reached out to caress the girl's cheek.
"I know you don't have any money on you, but if you don't mind, I know a few owners of the pink industry, where you hybrids are very popular......"
Dodge's words weren't finished, as his raised hand had already been caught.
"Your actions seem to have caused trouble to this young lady. ”
Irandall couldn't stand it anymore, although years of Templar education had instilled in her a lot of distorted knowledge, at least it had spread the definition of justice, she grabbed Dodge's wrist and said coldly.
"Who are you?"
Dodge looked Randall up and down, although this beauty touched his heart, but dared to hinder himself, Dodge couldn't help but feel displeased.
He tried to withdraw his left hand, but Irandall's hand didn't move, and it wasn't something Dodge could resist.
"You ......"
Dodge immediately understood that he had encountered a strong man with hidden strength, and he quickly glanced at the two bodyguards behind him, and the two tall Firuts immediately surrounded him.
An electric tickling sensation swept over Irandall and Fina.
It is the ability of "Jue", and it seems that these two Firuts have the level of black iron.
"Hmph. ”
Elandall happened to be still angry, she didn't say a word, she directly twisted her backhand, and then kicked out, Dodge immediately let out a scream, holding her dislocated wrist and retreating.
As for the two Firut bodyguards, Elandall barely used much skill, and after blocking the fist of one person with one hand, he swung his hand knife and hit the man in the abdomen, causing him to vomit bitter ascites.
Then, dodging the other person's attack, he spun his body and flew out with a punch that hit the opponent's jaw and knocked the bodyguard, who looked rather heavy, into the air.
She was wearing a dress, and her sassy and heroic posture in such a battle was quite surreal and inverted, which made the people around her stunned for a while.
However, Irandall had just finished dealing with the two of them, only to hear Dodge shouting, and a powerful killing intent emerged from the shadows.
"Sartre!"
Before the words fell, the cold light flashed, the sword light suddenly rose, and a sharp blade flew out from the shadow of the terrace, without hesitation, straight to the heart of Ai Randall!
