After returning to the Royal Oak, Tina led Leonard and his party to bring the entire crew of the ship to the deck and shouted: "... So, I've decided to set sail now. We will sail north, then west, and resupply at the blue harbor north of Nakonarau; Then cross the country's maritime frontier and arrive at Arebis, inhabited by the elves of the Republic of Vosfitta, in the northwest of the continent.

This voyage can be said to be full of unknown dangers and variables. If any of you don't want to go, I won't force it. Those who do not want to go are asked to stand in line and declare themselves to stay immediately, and there will be no blame or punishment for doing so. ”

Standing at the front of the crew's line, the old captain of the Royal Oak heard this; First, he turned around, looked into Tina's eyes, and replied loudly with a solemn expression: "Your Highness." The entire crew of the Royal Oak is well aware of the heavy responsibility they shoulder, and at the moment when their homeland is in danger, in order to usher in the liberation and great rejuvenation of the Lars nation, no one will stay as a deserter! ”

Then the old captain turned again; His eyes swept over the faces of every crew member, and he made an impassioned statement: "We are willing to follow Her Royal Highness the princess to the ends of the earth, even if we want to go to the soup and fire!" People say, isn't that so!? ——”

The captain and crew of the Royal Oak were all officers and sailors of the former Lars Empire. Therefore, when the crew heard this, they all responded to the call of the old captain and said loudly with emotion: "That's the case! ——...""We are willing to follow Her Royal Highness the princess to the ends of the earth, even if we want to go to the soup and fire!" ——..."Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess! - Long live the Lars Empire! ——...”... No one stood up in the queue at the scene, and the bastard announced that he would stay as a deserter.

Then, the old captain turned to Tina's eyes with a calm expression and replied, "Your Highness." The crew was well prepared in action, mentally and psychologically. However, there are still some things that my subordinates are not comfortable with..."

Seeing the old captain's embarrassed face, Tina reminded the other party in a soothing tone: "But it's okay to say..."

Therefore, the old captain bluntly and courageously expressed three questions that he was very worried about: "That is: 1. Why did you send only one of our ships, the Royal Oak, to Arebes alone? You must know that if you have a small crew, if you encounter pirates and the like again... Your Highness's safety is the most important thing! Second, Nakanarau has always been a very difficult country to deal with.

We, Lars, are in a hostile relationship with the Republic of Vosfita. His Highness is still wanted by an enemy nation. If the Nakanarau side is forced to come under pressure from Vosfita for some reason, it will put the entire crew of the ship in extreme danger. 3. Yarebis is an island located within the maritime territory of the Republic of Vosfitta. Wouldn't the Royal Oak venture into enemy-controlled waters be intercepted and blocked by the enemy's navy? ”

Hearing this, Tina elaborated to the old captain about the specific solution to these three problems: "First, because the island of Sark is facing an increasingly urgent and serious threat from the corrupted dragon. Leaving the other nine sailboats and their crews behind can help the local people catch more seafood; Make up for food shortages caused by previous earthquakes and tsunamis, and now the destruction of evil dragons.

And, once the Corrupt Dragon strikes, all nearby residents can take refuge in these nine ships. This is what I have agreed upon with the amphibious king in order to resolve the grave state of affairs.

The agreement also stipulates that the Royal Oak will fly the flag of the Kingdom of Sark and act as a merchant ship of the Kingdom of Sark, not Lars. At the same time, the kingdom of Sarco will send their prince, Rossi, with a patrol to accompany us to Yarebis to carry out this arduous and sacred mission together. With amphibious patrols to escort them, I don't think any pirate can pose a real threat to the Royal Oak.

2. The Royal Oak will also load a batch of rare metal ores from Salk Island, and transport them to the Blue Harbor of Nakonalu to unload and replenish under the banner of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. This is what I have ordered Cliff to prepare. Although Nakonaru has also sent troops to follow the Vosfita Army into our country, it is really just a façade.

3. As far as I know, the Winged Terrans have always been very disgusted and jealous of Cleos' practice of pointing fingers at their country and often threatening them with force.

After the Royal Oak crossed the sea frontier of Nakonaru, it would continue to enter the waters under the control of the Republic of Vosfita under the banner of the Kingdom of Sark and the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. We just need to sail cautiously and not show any horses' feet; There should be no insurmountable difficulties in arriving at Yarebes, which is located near the Nakonaru border."

When the old captain heard this, he didn't say any superfluous nonsense, and responded with an extremely firm expression: "Your Royal Highness the Princess." The entire crew of the Royal Oak is here to do your bidding. Immediately! ——”

Immediately afterwards, the sailors of the three-masted galleon lowered the black dragon red background flag, which represented the Lars Empire, from the mainmast and replaced it with the golden trident green background flag representing the Sark Kingdom. At the same time, dozens of amphibious patrols under Rossi's command were already riding on the back of the ichthyosaur and following the rear of the Royal Oak, ready to go.

After finishing the lecture, Tina turned her head, looked at Li Ming standing beside her, and greeted the other party politely: "Mr. Li Ming." Is it necessary for you to sail with us to Arebes? ”

When Li Ming heard this, he replied very humorously in a joking tone: "I have been on the island of Salk for more than a month, and I am really bored. In the face of such a good opportunity to go to sea to relax, how can you easily let it go? In addition, the appearance of the corrupt dragon also made it impossible for me to continue my research. The most important thing is that you don't need to eat the kind of meat and seafood that the islanders make without even a little spice, all of which are half-cooked! ”

Finally, the crew carried tons of rare metal ores from the island of Sark and bundled in sacks on the deck of the Royal Oak. As the old captain rang the brass bell in his hand. Ding-ding-ding... Two sailors turned the pulley and wrenched the anchor chain out of the sea. The Royal Oak unfurled several huge white sails on its three stout masts, and began to move forward slowly—riding the waves.

As a result, the Royal Oak crossed the Bahanna Strait on the same day, far from the sea frontier of the Sark Kingdom; Begin sailing to the northern part of the continent of Farusion, in the turquoise harbor of Nakonaru in the Winged Terran nation.

On this three-masted galleon with a blue-painted hull and a length of more than 50 meters and a wooden structure; The huge white sails fluttered and fluttered in the sea breeze; Driving on the boundless, endless, deep blue expanse of the ocean; From a bird's eye view, it is like a lonely boat quietly in a poetic picture.

After several days of calm and calm sailing, Leonard stepped barefoot on the deck of the Royal Oak and watched the crimson sun rise in the distance, and found that it was another sunny morning. The planet rotates in a different direction, causing the Sun to rise from the west.

So, Leonard carried a long hardwood fishing rod and a folding wooden chair, and walked slowly towards the stern of the boat: "Ah~~~~ Today is a good day with such a bright sun. You're sure to catch a lot of fresh fish. ”

Rosie, who was standing on the side of the ship, observing the conditions of the surrounding sea; Not quite understanding this behavior of Leonard, he persuaded: "Mr. Leonard." These days, we've caught enough of it. You don't have to..."In the days following the Royal Oak, the amphibious patrols on the backs of the fish dragons who followed the Royal Oak would spread their nets and reap a lot of fish.

Next to Rossi, Leonard's fishing friend Li Ming was wearing only a pair of shorts and a pair of sunglasses on his face; Lying on a chair that had been unfolded, with a book of spells in his hand, he was enjoying the warm sunbathing; Hearing this, he replied instead of the Great Swordsman: "Your Royal Highness, Prince." You don't understand. Fishing is a kind of leisure activity that is good for the body and mind, and the pursuit of a mood, not just for fishing and eating, just like you amphibians always like to lazily gather together to bask in the sun. ”

Rossi argued: "Our people need to bask in the sun because they feel cold every morning when they wake up; If you don't warm up your body first, you won't be able to do anything. "Amphibians are ectothermic, cold-blooded animals.

Li Ming immediately refuted Rossi's explanation based on what he saw and heard on the island of Salke: "Every day when there is nothing to do, they will gather together to sunbathe, gossip and pass the time; There are even serious topics to be discussed during this time, isn't it a cultural phenomenon peculiar to you amphibians? Is it just to warm up the body for half a day, or even a whole day, in the sun like this? ”

Leonard had by this time thrown the hook into the sea, and set the rod on the stern bulwark; Spread out the chair, sat on it, and then Li Ming's words replied to Rosie: "So, Rosie." We love fishing, not to catch fish to eat. Of course, the fish you catch is the most delicious. ”

When Rosie heard this, he still said worriedly: "I'm afraid that you will anger the dragon god. ”

At this time, Li Ming had already turned over and sat on the chair, and as if by magic, he found a long hardwood fishing rod and a white coat and other items from under the chair, and then set the fishing rod on the railing of the boat in front of him extremely quickly, and instantly dressed up and down; As soon as he heard Rosie's words, he became energetic, and asked eagerly with great interest: "Dragon God?" Tell me what kind of creature is it referring to? ”

Rossi explained with a solemn face: "According to legend, the dragon god refers to the dragon in the deep ocean. Our ancestors, who still inhabit the ocean, are in awe of every amphibian. Whenever our people go out of the land to fish in the deep oceans; will always pay attention to the appearance of the dragon god, and can only catch a moderate amount of fish; Moreover, it is necessary to deliberately divide some fish to honor the dragon god, so as not to anger these ancestors who are not very good-tempered. ”

Leonard, who was holding the fishing rod with both hands, heard this, and didn't take Rosie's words seriously at all, and asked with a hippie smile: "There are dragons in the sea too?" Is there any mistake? Is it a monster like a corrupted dragon? With this kind of thing in the sea, you still dare to fish? ”

Li Ming also threw his fishing hook into the sea, and replied to Rosie disapprehantly: "As far as I know, the dragon clan should have been extinct in ancient times. The Corrupted Dragon is just a dragon corpse in the form of a zombie that has been resurrected by twisted power. You amphibians do have many legends about sea dragons. Although there are also fishermen, captains and crews from other countries who have always claimed that they have encountered giant sea monsters.

But no one had ever captured such a monster, let alone come up with conclusive evidence. So in my opinion, the dragon god doesn't actually exist at all. It is nothing more than the infestation of large sea creatures such as large ichthyosaurs, leeds or ammonites; It inspires fishermen and sailors who are bored and lonely at sea to imagine some fascinating and illusory scenes. ”

Rosie did not agree with Li Ming's point of view at all this time, and continued to defend: "You must know that the dragon god is extremely wise and has a very long lifespan, and he will never take the initiative to provoke and attack his clansmen. They are extremely large, neither ashore nor enter shallow seas, and coexist with all the intelligent races on the continent that do not interfere with the water of the rivers.

Therefore, fishermen from other countries who only fish in shallow waters will not see the dragon god. And even in the depths of the sea, if it is not for the fishing that disturbs the peace of the ancestors. They won't show up. ”

Fishermen on mainland Farusion generally go out to sea on rafts or canoes, or at most on wooden sampans. None of these small fishing boats can withstand the rough waves of the open sea. As a result, with the exception of amphibians, who eat fish as their staple food, fishermen in other countries do not have the ability to fish in the open ocean, nor do they have the will to do so on large boats.

Because the fishery resources in the offshore waters are already abundant enough. And the amphibians are different. They ride ichthyosaurs and are good at controlling many kinds of sea beasts; The distant-water fishing vessel used is a large cylindrical wooden basin with neither sails nor lances, which is directly dragged to the open ocean by ichthyosaurs; for themselves to carry their catches, to lie down and rest. Except for the disadvantage of being slow, this kind of fishing boat with thick walls and weight can basically ignore any wind and waves.

Hearing this, Li Ming put down the fishing rod in his hand, stood up, and asked Rosie very seriously: "Then may I ask Your Royal Highness, have you ever witnessed the form of the dragon god with your own eyes?" ”

Rosie replied categorically: "Of course." Every time we go out to fish, we amphibians will see the unusually large gray figure of the dragon god haunting the ocean. ”

So Li Ming asked further: "So what does the creature look like?" Have you ever seen them up close? ”

Rossi was momentarily speechless when asked, and then argued in a firm tone: "This... For the dragon god is a god feared by our people. So we never dared to and never came into close contact with our ancestors, and every time we just watched them leave from afar. However, judging by the size and silhouette of the ancestors, there is no doubt that it is definitely a burly dragon in the sea. ”

As an archaeologist, Li Ming heard this, and once again cried and laughed at the identification: "This... Isn't this similar to the other ancestor you worship in the Spirit Gathering Temple? Without even a close look or careful identification, I dared to conclude that this creature was a dragon in the sea. With all due respect, the worship of your amphibians is still at an extremely primitive stage. ”

Obviously, Rosie, who had been cultivated by primitive worship for a long time, could not accept Li Ming's scientific and rigorous judgment again: "The corrupt dragon in the Spirit Gathering Temple has never been seen by my people. The dragon god is a god that my people will meet every time they go out to fish. The Corrupt Dragons regard my amphibians as inferior lizards.

The dragon god will silently choose to leave every time he meets my people, never provoked and attacked, and also blessed the island of Salk with good weather and rain. How can that damn evil dragon be compared to our great amphibian ancestors? ”

Li Ming continued to discuss scientifically and rigorously: "Because the living habits of all kinds of creatures in this world are different. The Corrupted Dragon is a being similar to the Demon God of the past. That's why it's so tyrannical. This so-called dragon god either does not exist at all, or it is supposed to be a large sea creature with a relatively docile temperament. It would be outrageous to insist that this mysterious creature is the ancestor of your amphibians. ”

Rosie also knew that the amphibious people's worship of the Gathering Spirit Temple was completely wrong, so he turned around and asked the other party to come up with tangible evidence: "The giant dragon with an unusually large body and living in the sea has always been the ancestor of our clan's legends. This is a fact that no matter how much you argue, you can't change it. Unless you can prove it with convincing evidence. ”

Leonard, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had not been able to interject, heard the words; He closed one of his eyes lightly, and took over the conversation with a wicked smile: "It seems that we are fishing here today, and we are likely to catch an unexpected catch." ”

Rosie immediately understood the strangeness of Leonard's words, and asked unhappily, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Leonard still closed one of his eyes, and replied crisply: "Of course, I'm going to catch the dragon god." ”

Rossi solemnly warned Leonard and Li Ming: "You must know that the legendary dragon god can call for wind and rain and spit flames!" When the ancestors roared, dark clouds covered the sun and heavy rain poured down. The ancestors cruising back and forth in the sea can create huge waves and terrifying tsunamis.

Due to the large number of fish we have caught these days, it has caught the attention of the dragon god. Several times my men and I have witnessed the dark and massive body of the dragon god from afar, quietly following behind the Royal Oak. Don't mess around! ”

Leonard still closed one of his eyes frivolously and asked Rosie, "Even the corrupted dragons that can actually cause earthquakes and tsunamis and spit acid in their mouths have been attacked, what else is there to be afraid of?" These legendary so-called dragon gods, I really want to see with my own eyes what they look like. Also, since it is your god and ancestor, it should bless you amphibians, so why not manifest a spirit to stop the corrupt dragons from destroying the island of Salk? ”

Rosie, who had witnessed the terrifying and destructive power of the corrupted dragon, stammered and replied with great unconfidence: "This... I think the dragon god may, may not be, is no match for the corrupted dragon..."

When Leonard heard this, he was very interested and encouraged Rossi with all his words: "Then there will be no problem. We've all attacked the Corrupt Dragons at close range. It should be even more difficult to come into contact with such a creature that is not as strong as it. I don't think even if it were really your ancestor, it wouldn't be so petty as to blame us for such a trivial matter. Don't you want to see the creature's mysterious face? ”

Rossi finally stopped referring to the dragon god and his ancestors by referring to the unknown creature he had recently discovered: "Three days ago, when we were fishing for tuna, we found such a creature trailing far behind the Royal Oak. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is a dragon god or not, out of reverence for the dragon god, we just follow the tradition of the amphibian tribe and observe the creature from a long distance; And some tuna fell from the boat and went out into the sea to honor the creature.

As a result, the creature has been following the ship far behind the ship for the past few days, occasionally surfacing from time to time. As soon as we see it coming to the surface, we follow the tradition of pouring some tuna from the boat into the sea. Then it will dive to the bottom again. ”

Li Ming's sharp analysis: "Isn't this kind of situation obvious to you amphibians who often fish? First of all, it was the school of tuna that lured the creature. And then you keep feeding it. Because it can be obtained for nothing, it will follow the Royal Oak for days on end and refuse to leave, waiting for the white food to fall from the sky. Typical marine carnivorous habits. ”

At this moment, Leonard stood up excitedly, and while retrieving the hook and line from the sea, and preparing to change the bait, he asked Rosie: "In that case, then he must like to eat tuna." Then we'll use tuna as bait to catch it. Also, Rosie, can you lead your men to lure this creature over now? ”

Rosie didn't want to see with his own eyes what the dragon god looked like; So, he happily revealed some very important information to the two eager fishing friends: "My subordinates are extremely fearful of the dragon god, and they will never dare to approach it." For the sake of the stability of my subordinates, I can't get close to this unknown creature rashly.

Moreover, ichthyosaurs are also very afraid of it, and they will retreat when they see it from a long distance, and they will not swim close to death. Finally, I would like to add that this creature followed the ship from a distance, and made the ichthyosaurus extremely frightened in the same way that I and the rest of my clan had seen before. Therefore, I can only promise not to feed it again. It's up to you to lure it over. ”

Leonard cautiously instructed Rossi: "Then please tell Tina and them on my behalf, and prepare for this surprise." Also, be sure to inform the captain that if something is wrong, we must get rid of this thing and get away with it. ”

Li Ming also agreed with Leonard's suggestion, and further added: "Yes, just in case. Prepare them to cast various types of spells and use a lot of spell smoke grenades. And with the high mobility of your amphibian ichthyosaurs, ask your men to carry a few more tuna as bait; Tuna bait can be used as bait at critical times to lure unknown creatures away from the Royal Oak. ”
