Seeing this scene, Leonard couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat stains from his forehead with his right hand, and put his left hand on Li Ming's shoulder and asked, "Whew... I thought we were going to be finished. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Great scientist, did you just call it Heninosaurus?"

Li Ming replied with great confidence: "Yes." According to my observations, this sea beast is the legendary creature recorded in ancient books, the Hydrosaurus. Whether it is depicted in the illustrations of ancient books or the Hainuolong described in the text, it is almost like this. ”

Leonard, who had hardly read any ancient books, immediately asked with interest: "And what kind of creature is the Heninosaurus recorded in the ancient books?"

When Li Ming heard this, he gave a detailed account of the legend of the Harbor Dragon to the partners at the scene: "Legend has it that the Harbor Dragon is a type of dragon thousands of years ago. The Dragons and Giants had already destroyed all the nations on the land, and at the same time, their ambitions had swelled dramatically to claim the power of the gods for themselves. As a result, they almost all betrayed their masters, the Elder Demon Lords. In such an environment, there are a few younger, low-mana dragons who choose to remain neutral.

They did not dare to oppose their master, the Elder Demon Lord, nor were they willing to be enemies of other dragons or giants, and even refused to carry out their master's orders, giving up the task of continuing to attack the humans of all races, and instead signed a pact with the ancestors of our human race, the so-called intelligent life on land, to help each other and seek coexistence.

Because the power of the Ancient Demon Lord, the Dragon Clan, and the Giant Clan at that time was extremely strong. The ancestors of all races of mankind have fallen into a desperate situation of extinction of the country. So they could only take a completely defensive position and sign an alliance with these young dragons in order to protect themselves.

Nor did the young dragons have the strength to compete with their relatives, masters, or giants. So, they began to call themselves the Hano Dragons, voluntarily gave up part of their mana, dived to the bottom of the deep ocean and began to live in seclusion, took the initiative to change their appearance - so that their wings disappeared, they could no longer fly, and their limbs turned into mistlets, and they could no longer go ashore, but could only inhabit the water.

The Haino Dragon's self-abolition of mana and voluntary admitting of instigation made other forces such as the Dragons, Giants, and Ancient Demon Lords no longer regard them as threats. As a result, although the Ancient Demon Lord exterminated the dragons and giants, he spared the Haino dragons. Now it seems that these degraded dragons have lived in the deep ocean for a long time, and they seem to be quite nourishing. ”

Leonard continued to ask curiously, "Since you know so much, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Li Mingyan retorted: "That's because as a scientist, you must not easily draw conclusions about creatures that have not been carefully identified." Besides, the record description of the Heninosaurus is more than a thousand years ago at the latest. It stands to reason that this creature should have been extinct a long time ago. Moreover, in the records of ancient books and classics, there are extremely many types of sea monsters in legends. Before I know with my own eyes, I know which one will appear?"

It was at this time that Leonard and Li Ming were discussing. The wind and waves on the ocean are getting stronger and stronger. Although, it's still noon. The entire canopy of the area where the Royal Oak was located was already as dark as night. With that, one after another shiny and dazzling thunder and lightning slashed, piercing the sky. A huge roar sounded above everyone's heads, and the continuous roar resounded. Boom! Crackle...

Tina commanded the crew to drop the thick cables off the Royal Oak on the violently jolting deck: "Quick! The storm is coming! Everyone hurry up and pull the amphibian friends on board..." Rosie and the amphibian patrol grabbed the ropes thrown from the ship, quickly climbed, and were pulled onto the deck by the sailors. The ichthyosaurs took refuge at the bottom of the huge sailing ship to escape the impending storm.

Rossi was the first to board the deck of the Royal Oak, and heard Li Ming's explanation about the Hainaolong, and asked, "In that case, Mr. Li Ming." So is this storm created by the dragon god, no, the Hainolong?"

Li Ming told Rossi bluntly: "The Hainuolongs themselves admit that they are not the ancestors of the amphibians. Not to mention this kind of dragon clan whose mana has been degraded, even corrupted dragons have no ability to change the weather. This storm just happened to come at this time, and there was a small probability that it was just a fortuitous event. ”

Leonard looked at the sketch that Li Ming had already drawn, and couldn't help but feel happy, and asked very happily: "Heha! Fortunately, the sea monster just now didn't see the picture you drew, otherwise it would be strange if you didn't die of anger." When did I ride on the back of this thing?" I saw that the anthropologist's drawing of the Hainosaurus was vivid and lifelike, and the proportions of the body details were almost identical, but it was the Great Swordsman who was drawn to ride on the back of the sea monster, proudly holding his sword aloft and showing off his might.

When Li Ming heard this, he smiled evilly and teased Leonard: "This is called a dual-purpose." Using the same picture and the same paper, the physical characteristics of the two creatures were depicted. Moreover, the paper is so big. If you don't ride on its back, do you want it to ride on your back?"

Suddenly, a roar louder than a thunderstorm, like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, resounded behind Leonard and Li Ming: "Yes! It's you two creatures! You must reflect on it for me today! In the future, you must not do this nonsense!"

Hearing this, Leonard hurriedly turned around, closed one of his eyes lightly, and defended himself with a flattering smile: "Tina, we are not creatures..."

Completely ignoring any cuteness and quibbling from Leonard, Tina directly interrupted the other party's words, and with a wave of her hand, she shouted mercilessly: "Gagged this creature and tied it to the half-mast that he had broken."

In the future, anyone who dares to disobey orders will be tied to the mast and displayed in the torrential rain for a whole day, twenty-four hours!"

As soon as Hanks, Bran, Crotty, and the rest of the crew, who had already gathered nearby, received the order, they pushed Leonard down on the deck, tied up the five flowers that were divided by two, and gagged each other's mouths with rags.

Although the great swordsman was dying and struggling, after all, his palms could not match many hands, so he had to be captured obediently. He wanted to use his relentless tongue to quibble, but his mouth was blocked, and he only muttered: "Uh——..." and then there were only various humming sounds.

Li Ming saw that Leonard was escorted by a group of people and tied to the half-section of the mast damaged by Heinuolong, and hurriedly picked up a rope from the deck, took the initiative to put it on his shoulder, and pretended to admit it: "I willingly accept the punishment." Please tie me up as well. ”

Tina, however, took a pair of handcuffs that exuded the luster of dark spell energy from the old captain beside her, and told Li Ming with a serious expression: "As for you, you must also be punished. But you're an alchemist, and ropes can't bind you. Then put on these special spell handcuffs designed to imprison mages, and then go into a dark room specially prepared for you to go on a hunger strike for three days. ”

When Li Ming heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and large drops of sweat rolled down his head; while stubbornly resisting to the end, he shouted in a high-pitched voice: "No—— you are going to commit another act of violating human rights! It doesn't matter if I am handcuffed—— but forcing myself to go on a hunger strike for three days is absolutely an act that is inhumane and unreasonable——...."

Seeing this, Tina almost burst into laughter, but she forcibly restrained her own smile, tried her best to put on a face that made others look almost distorted, and shouted loudly with a serious expression: "Why did you say that you were willing to accept punishment just now, and how did you change your mind in a blink of an eye? I also gagged the mouth of this despicable creature that doesn't count, and handcuffed it, and escorted it to a small black room." ”

In fact, the rest of the crew on board the Royal Oak was snickering. However, Tina, as the princess and leader, in order to maintain the solemn atmosphere of the scene and deter those potential disobedient elements, had to force her smile and not show a trace of smile.

The governance experience of feudal **** society is like this: there is only a leader who is not smiling and has a blank face. Only then will the masses and subordinates not be able to see what he is thinking, and will they become in awe of the leader, and will obediently obey rather than disobey the leader's orders.

As a result, Li Ming was immediately pushed to the ground by the many sailors who rushed up, gagged his mouth with a rag, and was firmly handcuffed with spells, and escorted into a small black room. The anthropologist, who is also good at quibbling, stuffed his mouth into the rag and only muttered: "Uh——..."

Then, holding back a smile and looking abnormal, Tina went into an uninhabited cabin under the pretext of going to the toilet, and after using a spell to insulate the sound, she covered her face with her left hand and pounded the floor of the deck with her right hand, laughed out loud and burst into tears, and scolded someone in a venting manner: "Heh...—— ha! This is what happens to those who disobey orders and act recklessly! I've been scared for a long time! What a damn thing——..."

By this time, on the deck of the Royal Oak, except for Leonard, who was tied to a half-mast and allowed by the sea breeze, the rest of the crew had returned to their respective cabins. Boom... It didn't take long for the pouring rain to fall from the sky, enveloping the sea and the ship in an almost hazy lyrical mystery.

Swept by the cold wind, soaked by the howling rain, Leonard looked around at the dark and vague scene around him, and the faint glimmer of yellow light from the cockpit window of the Royal Oak, spat out the rag that gagged his mouth, and sneezed loudly, as if he were a poet with an incomparably broad mind, and the extremely calm comfort came to him:

"Phew, ahhh————h

Under the darkness of the sky and the constant onslaught of storm surges, time seems to slow down. From morning to noon, I tossed for a long time. As time passed, all the crew of the Royal Oak became drowsy because of their idleness, and soon fell asleep with the dim glow of the oil lamps.

A few more hours passed. The storms that raged on the sea had begun to abate. The dark clouds over the Royal Oak gradually dispersed. But because it was already evening. The environment around the ship remained dark. As the nearby ocean gradually calmed down. A buzzer-like, almost whispering, unusually soft and soothing sound rippled in the warm and humid air of this sea from far and near. Airplanes... Airplanes...

At this time, Tina, who was very worried about Leonard's condition, was lying on the couch and couldn't sleep, so she got up and walked into the cockpit of the Royal Oak, and found the amphibious prince Rosie holding a trident and sitting on a wooden chair next to the cockpit window, and couldn't help asking, "Rosie, haven't you slept yet?"

Hearing this, Rosie hurriedly raised his head and replied, "Gong..."

Afraid that her words would wake up the old captain and the others who were sleeping on the cockpit table (they didn't dare to go to bed for fear that something would suddenly happen to the Royal Oak in the storm), she interrupted Rosie softly and suggested to the other party:

"Rosie. Although I am a princess of the former Lars Empire. But your identity is also that of a prince of the Kingdom of Sarke. There is no difference in status between the two of us. You don't want to be too out-of-the-box. So, except for some formal occasions, please refer to each other by each other's names, okay?"

When Rosie heard this, he also replied as quietly as possible: "Okay, no problem." Tina. I, as the representative of the Kingdom of Sark, would have agreed with Leonard and Li Ming's recklessness in not preventing such a serious situation in time, and feeding the Hainosaurus tuna, luring it to follow the Royal Oak for so many days, and failing to foresee the danger that it would bring.

In fact, it is the person who should bear the greatest responsibility for this matter. So I stayed here all night just to prevent something unexpected, and to get Leonard out of the sea as soon as he was swept away by the waves. ”

Tina, however, disagreed with Rossi's statement, believing that her punishment of Leonard and Li Ming was very correct, and retorted in a low voice: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not exaggerated. Although you are indeed at fault in this matter, it is all done unintentionally and unintentionally, and as soon as you realize the seriousness of the problem, you immediately correct it and actively remedy it.

Without the usual favor that you amphibians usually give to the Heninosaurus, it is estimated that we would have been buried in the belly of the fish by that time. Leonard and Li Ming knowingly committed the crime, and their attitude was always unrepentant. Therefore, their punishment is entirely self-inflicted. You shouldn't feel any self-blame or guilt for this. Now let me take care of you for the night. Please go back and get some rest. ”

Hearing this, Rosie smiled slightly, and continued to answer in a sincere whisper: "You really can't rest assured that Leonard's words, just stay with me and watch the night." As for me. Because I'm an amphibian. So once something unexpected happened in the sea. Then time is of the essence. If I hadn't been there, no one would have been able to control it in the first place. ”

When Tina heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she defended herself for a good reason: "It's... There is no such thing. As a representative of Lars, I am of course responsible to every crew member of the Royal Oak. Especially Leonard. He was both his subordinate and a key player in obtaining the Prayer Crystal, and in the midst of such a downpour, he was alone and tied to the mast on the deck. So no matter what others think, how can I, as the person in charge, ignore him?"

Seeing this, Rossi continued to smile, but did not say anything more. At this time. Airplanes... Airplanes... The buzzing, almost whispering, unusually soft, soothing sound came from afar and drifted into his and Tina's ears. The amphibious prince suddenly felt that his heart was extremely quiet, his body was completely relaxed, his eyelids collapsed with incomparably heaviness, and he couldn't help but yawn long: "Ah————...hhhhh

As a result, Rosie and Tina were in the silent cockpit of the Royal Oak, intoxicated by the hypnotic atmosphere created by the soft sounds, and unconsciously fell asleep.

At the same moment, Leonard, who was tied to a half-mast, found a large oval-shaped mirror object on the surface of the sea hundreds of meters away from him, emitting a dazzling silver-white light. A trail of glittering golden powder floated out of the oval object, slowly flying through the air and hovering above the Great Swordsman's head.

Seeing this, Leonard couldn't help but ask, "Are you..."...

The next day, when Leonard opened his eyes again, he saw Tina sitting on a wooden chair with an enamel bowl of steaming ginger soup, and herself had changed into pajamas, covered with a quilt, and lying on the bed in her bedroom.

Seeing Leonard sit up from the couch, Tina preemptively asked, "Ray, are you feeling better?"

Leonard, who had long been accustomed to surviving alone in the wild alone, couldn't help but think that Tina had a fuss and replied, "I'm fine." What can I do with such a little wind and rain?"

Tina, however, disagreed, and handed the ginger soup in her hand to Leonard, telling him, "But when we found you this morning. You're having a high fever and you're babbling. This is the ginger soup I made with my own hands. ”

When Leonard heard this, he knew that it was Tina who saved his life with a spell, so he took the enamel bowl from the female mage's hand and drank the hot ginger soup inside, and replied: "Then I have no choice but to obey my fate." Oops - it's really delicious. Tina, for you. I just want to die, and I don't dare to risk my life anymore. ”

When Tina heard this, she knew that Leonard was playing poor again, and replied to the other party with a straight face: "Since you know." Then please don't mess around in the future. ”

When Leonard heard this, he rolled over from the bed and got off the bed, and stood in front of Tina's eyes, and responded with a military salute with a serious expression: "Yes!" Seeing this, Tina's face once again showed a knowing smile.

Compared with Leonard's generous treatment, another "prisoner" Li Ming was lying at the entrance of the small black room with a pale face and a terrible face, constantly knocking on the door frame and shouting: "Okay, okay... Please... Who's going to save me——... "Knock knock...

After a storm. The crew of the Royal Oak lifted three spare stout masts from the warehouse and spent several days replacing the three main masts that had been damaged by the Heinorlong. Then the huge sailing ship unfurled its sails again and set sail for the seaside of Nakonaru.
