Chapter 1: The Crisis of the Lady Luck

When the Lady Luck was besieged by mermaids, the captain was still eating dinner in his room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Just a minute earlier, the red wine in his glass had disappeared, so when the first mate hurried to report the danger, the captain ignored it, and in a rage he lifted the tablecloth and sheets and opened every corner of the room to find the thief. It wasn't until the first mate repeated it a second time that he reacted, but there was only one sentence: "This can't be!" ”

Heading east from Port Vis and across the Sea of Sevis, the Lady Luck sailed for a month and a half, and if nothing else, it would arrive at its destination in Agrim tonight. But this "accident" appeared! In fact, the general problem is still not difficult for this fifty-year-old captain, after all, he has been roaming these seas since he was 15 years old, shipwrecks, pirates, storms...... He's been through it all and can handle it with ease, but ...... Merman...... It's hard to say!

All the while, Seves was calm. This area of sea managed by Agrim and Vis is rare even for pirates, at least for as long as the captain can remember, there has never been a mermaid! They are supposed to live in the Lorraine Strait, known as the "Abyss of Death", east of Egrim.

"I have ordered the sailors to prepare for battle!" When the first mate said this, the captain was quickly climbing the stairs leading to the deck, his body shook, and he turned around and grabbed the collar of the first mate who was following him: "You let a group of young men who haven't seen a woman in a month and a half deal deal with merfolk?" Don't you know that those stinky bitches are the best at seducing men? ”

Ignoring the captain's anger, the first mate replied slowly: "I don't think they have this ability......"

"What do you think? Oh my! The captain shook his hand away in despair and went to the deck. The sailors were all ready to fight, their bows and broadswords glistening in the sun, and the breeze blowing their hair, but the sailors' eyes were fixed on the sea. "A beautiful afternoon was just gone." That's probably what the sailors were thinking at this time.

The captain stood at the bow of the ship, his expression extremely serious, and he knew that it was probably more than the good afternoon that would be buried here. Stretched out his hand to take the telescope handed by the first mate, and before he could put it in front of him, he suddenly felt the water droplets hit his face, and a mermaid had already flown up! The first mate quickly drew his knife and slashed at the merfolk, and then, broken in two, the merfolk fell back into the sea with a roar. It only took three seconds, but those three seconds were enough for the captain to see the mermaid clearly. Although it is a human body fishtail, the upper body does not have the **** that symbolizes women, and is replaced by silver-gray scales. The bare head is sandwiched around a muscular neck, and the same silver-gray skin makes the facial features less distinct, but the sharp teeth in the gaping mouth are impressive. In addition, the mermaid does not have arms, and instead has a pair of large fins.

At this time, the captain also had to agree with the "personal opinion" of the previous first mate, it was indeed a mermaid, but not a mermaid! Through the binoculars, the captain once again saw their enemies clearly, and he couldn't help but curse: "There are fucking hundreds of ugly monsters who look exactly the same!" ”

"How likely are you to win?" The first mate asked, looking around.

"It's hard to say, I've never seen a mermaid like this...... I remember......" the captain thought, and suddenly gave the order, "full speed ahead!" ”

A dozen sailors sprang into action at once, perhaps breaking out of the encirclement if the gods blessed them, but apparently the "Lady Luck" had been abandoned by luck, and the merfolk were faster in pursuit. A mermaid pounced on it, and before the sailor could react, it bit the throat. Another sailor slashed at him, only to be pounced upon by the merfolk who had just come up. Then, more and more mermaids are on deck! Everyone brandished their weapons to resist, but those mermaids were more dexterous than they imagined, although they had no arms, they could take off with a pair of big fins!

"Flying mermaid!" The captain had wondered why they could jump to such a high deck, but now that the truth was revealed, his face became more and more ugly, "Archer! ”

Dozens of arrows were scattered towards the merfolk, either easily dodged by them or affected by the distance that affected their power, in fact, the bow and arrow could not pose a threat to them at all! The merfolk soared into the air, stopping where bows and arrows couldn't reach and surrounding the ship. The crisis for Lady Luck is growing, and that's not even the worst!

The wind stopped, very suddenly. The sounds around them were gone, and the silence was suffocating. The dazzling sunlight pushed beads of sweat through people, and they carefully swallowed a mouthful of spit, and every hair on their bodies stood up. The first to react was the captain, who shouted, "Shut your earsβ€”β€”! But apparently it was too late, and before the sailors could react, the flying mermaid's song had already pierced their eardrums. Their singing voices are unusually sweet, humming without lyrics, as if they were magically seductive. The people's expressions gradually relaxed, and they all became stupid, and they all dropped their weapons and walked to the side of the boat. Although the ears were blocked, the beautiful singing voice passed through the palm of the hand to seize the captain's will. "The Flying Mermaid is planning to drag us all into the water, and these bastards must not be allowed to succeed!" Although he thought so, the captain's consciousness was getting thinner and thinner......

Just when everything was a foregone conclusion, suddenly, a rapid sound of the piano tore through the magic sound net of the flying mermaid like a sharp sword, rudely changing people's consciousness! The reason why I say rude is because the sound of the piano is not beautiful at all, and it can even be said to be unpleasant, but it is this discordant noise that saves everyone's lives.

The captain, who had just regained consciousness, followed the direction of the sound of the piano, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing on the high lookout, wearing a moon-white cotton blouse, a half-leather waistcoat and waistband, and a pair of slender and white legs under brown shorts. The beautiful long orange-red curly hair spread out behind him, like a blooming fire lotus, and the whole person also became shining. The girl fiddled with the little harp in her arms, and then something that was barely called "melody" spread, and if it were somewhere else, no one would listen to it, even if she was looking for money. Although the captain thought so, he was still grateful to the girl, isn't there a saying called fighting poison with poison?

The sudden noise not only ruined the original plan of the flying merfolk, but also angered them. The mermaid, who had stopped singing, bared its sharp teeth and pounced on the girl in unison.

"Be careful!" While everyone was sweating at the unarmed slender girl, she looked calm and threw the harp in her hand into the sky. No one understands what she's doing, but the flying mermaid is getting closer and closer to her! The harp that was thrown into the sky emitted a glow, and after a brief moment of light it changed its appearance, now more like a bow than a harp! The girl held the bow in one hand, and with the other hand grasped casually in the sun-kissed air, and a bundle of golden arrows appeared in her hand.

"Like...... It's the sunshine that catches it! The sailors looked at each other.

"Come on!" As soon as the girl's voice fell, a golden arrow flew out. The flying mermaid dodged, but this arrow was agile and automatically pursued the mermaid, and the moment the golden arrow stabbed the mermaid's body, it turned into ashes with the mermaid. At this moment, the girl shot seven or eight golden arrows one after another, but she did not need to aim. The battle lasted less than 10 minutes, and the flying mermaid lost nearly half of it, but the girl was unscathed, probably realizing that there was no chance of victory, and the merfolk retreated.

The crisis of the "Lady Luck" has finally been resolved, but the entire crew, including the captain, is still apprehensive, and has not yet recovered from the magical battle just now.

The girl jumped off the lookout and landed on the ground with ease. The big wavy curls like a waterfall flew in the wind, and even the playful pigtails on her temples danced with it, and she had a twisted braid like a headband wrapped around her head, and the ends were hidden in the red curls, and under the eyebrow-length bangs, there were a pair of beautiful big eyes, and the turquoise eyes were full of aura.

"You saved our lives, and we can't repay them!" The captain greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Don't say that," the girl said with an innocent look, "as long as 10,000 Thisols." ”

"What?"

"Reward!" The girl's eyes scanned around, "Saving your lives and repelling the mermaid were originally calculated separately, and this price is already discounted." ”

"Are you ......?"

"Lucia, oh, bounty hunter!" Lucia hesitated as she said this, but she didn't notice it, because a voice diverted their attention......

Mutter...... Lu...... Gollum......

Lucia patted her belly, her cheeks crimson: "Look, although I look as beautiful as an angel, I can't help but eat the fireworks of the world after all, hehe!" ”

"It's no wonder," the captain touched his chin thoughtfully, "how can you bear it with just a glass of red wine at noon?" ”

"That's ......," Lucia sensed something was wrong when she said this, but it was too late, she just smiled awkwardly at the captain.

"After deducting the food expenses for a month and a half, a hundred dissols can't be more!"

"Good...... All right. Faced with the captain's "blackmail", Lucia could only swallow her anger. Leaving her hometown and embarking on her journey alone, Lucia's first stop is Agrim. But as soon as I arrived at the port of Vis, I spent all the money on my body, and it was just an accident that I got mixed with the "Lady Luck", although I lived a day of eating and drinking secretly and hiding **, but it was quite smooth, and I was about to reach my destination, but there was an incident. However, she is more interested in the behavior of the flying mermaid than the shrinking of the "bounty", why would this kind of monster with a strong sense of territory come all the way here to attack the ship? What happened there in the "Abyss of Death"?

"Egrem has arrived!" Lucia's train of thought was interrupted by the excited voice of the sailors, and almost all of them rushed to the deck, and at this moment, the brightly lit harbor opposite the "Lady Luck" was like paradise! However, no one realizes that heaven can sometimes turn into hell!
