Chapter 196: A Trap with No Lower Limit
Then, Shadow walked up to the bodyguard leader of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, whispered a few words, turned around, and returned to the crowd the same way. The leader of the bodyguards www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ immediately shouted the captain from the big wooden box and ordered a few words.
"Good news for everyone. His Excellency Lord Robt, the person in charge of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, who has newly arrived in Hanboto Port, has already sent someone to deliver a message. He expressed his deep regret that the incident on the pier had delayed everyone's trip, and hereby announced that all guests who have purchased tickets for this issue can board the boat, and it is free of charge!
After arriving at the Promised Domain Island, with this issue of the ferry ticket, you can get a full refund at the bank of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. The captain re-established himself on the large wooden box and announced in a loud voice.
"Oh—— that's great. "It's wonderful. "It seems that this Lord Robt is quite good. ”... For a while, the crowd that was still angry just now has begun to talk about it.
"Sir. Is it because you've communicated something with them?" The old professor noticed that the shadow was standing in the middle of the crowd in front of him, and immediately stepped forward, looking the man in black up and down with a surprised gaze.
"I just squeezed in and wanted to say something. Unexpectedly, they announced that they could take the boat for free. Shadow turned around and replied happily to the old professor.
"So that's the case—it seems that this Five Elements Chamber of Commerce is not so unbearable. The old professor couldn't help but sigh. By this time, Croix had already put the previous bodyguard back into the group and walked to the side of the Shadow.
After a while, all the ticket holders on the scene boarded the scheduled ship that was about to depart. The last of the passengers, such as Shadow and Croix, also boarded the ramp of the ship, and walked to the dock, beside the bodyguard leader of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.
"Lord Robt has commanded us to accompany you, Mr. One Hundred and One, and Lady Croce to the Promised Realm for security. The leader of the bodyguards spoke first.
"Lord, I'll explain it to him later. Go back now, all of you. "Shadow commands the leader of the bodyguards.
"Honor. The bodyguard leader of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce beckoned his men and left the port in a neat formation. Shadow and Croce then boarded the regular ship. It was a wooden two-masted galleon, and after three successive whistles, it set sail.
"Damn—— master. Why don't we get into that ship?" I saw a female mage with a flaming, orange iron staff with a flaming head on her back, her hair red and straight, dressed in a bright red mage robe, and her eyes as bright as clear red crystal, using a telescope to observe the departure of the regular ship on which Croix and Shadow were riding, and anxiously stamped her feet to ask questions.
"Didn't you come from His Majesty to call the master back, why are you calling for such a thing?" Su, who was standing next to the female mage in red, replied with a smile on her face.
"It's not because of that elf man named Noyachenko. He is said to be a descendant of the former Elven King Elizabeth. Your Majesty once instructed me that if I met him, I would be caught, dead or alive. The female mage in red continued to stomp her feet and shout.
"Ah Hong. How did you know that Noyachenko would be on this ship?" Sue asked the Cardinal Mage.
"Master. It's not that you told me that these two people are Noyachenko's accomplices. Now that they are gone, Noyachenko will definitely mix in with this ship and leave with them. Ah Hong continued to shout unwillingly.
You may be right in this regard, but you know only one and not the other. Su told her apprentice mysteriously.
"What do you mean by knowing only one and not knowing the other? I don't understand? I only know that we missed a great opportunity to catch Noyachenko. Ah Hong asked Su puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the weirdo I told you about yesterday?" Sue reminded Hong.
"Isn't he just a pervert? So what?" Ah Hong asked nonchalantly.
"That guy is a crazy guy who can do anything. He has already robbed the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce's most advanced aluminum-hulled speedboat, and has also accepted His Majesty's commission to deal with Noachenko, Croqin and the mysterious man in black whether he lives or dies, and now he will definitely fight the idea of this regular ship.
The master didn't want to see that guy's face again. So we go back. Sue explained her thoughts.
"It's a shame. But master, you said that the madman was completely unreliable in doing things, and he also injured the black boy, (the strange black bird) is indeed dangerous enough. So the disciple listens to you. After Ah Hong finished speaking, she and Su boarded a carriage parked behind them and drove in the direction of Klein City.
"They have already boarded the ship and left the port. At this time, on the aluminum-hulled speedboat, a voice came from the platinum token in the stranger's hand.
Regularly carry Shadow and Croix to ride the wind and waves. The elven swordswoman stood at the bow of the ship, looking out into the distance where the sea and air met. The man in black stood behind her, guarding her for a moment.
The blue sky is bright, and the white clouds are drifting by. A red sun shining with golden light hung in the air, sowing golden seeds and shining warmly on the body. The ocean is unusually calm and tranquil. Occasionally, a seabird will chirp as it flies by.
In the distance, the blue sky and the sea blend into each other. Nearby, the slight waves shine like gold-coated fish scales in the sunlight. A gentle sea breeze blows in the face, exuding a faint salty taste, which immediately brings people an extremely fresh and refreshing feeling.
"Look! Flowers! The sails are full of flowers—— "Suddenly, a noisy shout came from behind Croix. She and Shadow looked back, only to see that the sails of the ship were covered with emerald green vines. The vines bloomed with delicate and colorful flowers.
"Noyachenko. It must be him!" Croix reminded Shadow excitedly. The man in black didn't answer her, just nodded vigilantly.
"Look! It's smoke! Smoke rises from the sea ahead!" the people on the boat were still judging the flowers that had suddenly bloomed. Standing at the top of the ship's mast, the sailors on the lookout shouted loudly.
"What smoke? from what direction?" said the boatswain at once ran under the mast and asked the sailors on the lookout.
"It was a puff of smoke rising from the sea in the southwest, accompanied by flashes. It's a distress signal!' a ship is in distress!" the sailor told the boatswain after a moment of careful observation.
"How far is it? What kind of ship is it? The boatswain asked further loudly.
"It's less than three nautical miles from us. It is a medium-sized cargo ship with a single mag. The sailor clenched the telescope in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and replied in a loud voice. When the boatswain heard this, he immediately ran into the cockpit and told the captain and first mate in the cockpit about the situation.
"Pass on my instructions: change course at once, and in accordance with the navigation regulations, sail at full speed to the shipwrecked ship, and save the person as the first priority. The captain decisively gave instructions to the crew. The two-masted sailboat immediately changed course and headed southwest.
And in the cabin of the single-masted medium-sized cargo ship, all the crew members had fallen in a pool of blood. The hull of the ship is blazing with fire. Thick black smoke billowed up.
"I knew you were going to die. "Standing on the deck of a medium-sized cargo ship, the strange man is manipulating a huge reflector that emits signals, constantly reflecting the blinding rays of the sun, sending distress signals to passing ships. Next to the medium-sized single-masted cargo ship, there was a small merchant ship, which had sunk to the point that only the mast remained.
"I will now correct that there was not one, but two ships in distress. The other ship had sunk so much that only the mast remained! On the deck of the medium-sized cargo ship, there were no casualties found!" the sailors on the lookout continued to report loudly. At this time, the regular ship was less than a kilometer away from the medium-sized cargo ship.
"Even if no one was found, lean in. In any case, you can't die without help. "The captain of the regular ship still ordered. When the three-masted sailing ship full of passengers approached the sea within 500 meters of the single-masted medium-sized cargo ship.
A huge sea-blue hot air balloon rises into the air from the back of a medium-sized cargo ship, with a cubic metal pod suspended underneath.
"Damn! I told you to fly!" Standing on the bow of the boat, the shadow immediately took out a dart from his bosom and threw it. But, boom! In front of the man in black, the cabin of the single-masted medium-sized cargo ship that was burning with raging flames suddenly exploded violently.
An extremely bright, dazzling orange-red fireball soared into the air, obscuring the shadow's vision. In an instant, the single-masted medium-sized cargo ship was blown apart.
"Heh! The show is only going to be officially staged now!" I saw the strange man sitting in the metal pod under the sea-blue hot air balloon, holding a remote control in his hand, grinning and showing his demonic weird smile.
Underneath the balloon is the outer walls of the quadruple metal pod, each of which houses a propeller device similar to that found on World War II aircraft. The strange man is using the remote control to control the four propeller devices, constantly rotating and changing direction, causing the ocean-blue hot air balloon to rise and fly away from the sea.
When the ocean-blue hot air balloon has flown far enough to rise to a safe enough height. The strange man picked up a silver-gray square metal box from the pod, pointed his right thumb at the red metal button on the box, and pressed it at once.
