Due to the slightly large number of adventurer guards hired temporarily, it might have been too crowded to eat in the 'canteen' of the ship's cabin, and the sailors were soon given the following orders:

A large number of tables and chairs were directly moved and spread out on the deck for alfresco dining.

And this has also been unanimously praised by the adventurers who accompanied the boat.

In their opinion, they have not officially entered the scope of the Nrainsel Islands anyway, and the chances of encountering pirates in this sea area are not too high, and even if they find a pirate ship, the sailors who are on guard in the sun on the mast can observe that they have enough time to prepare for the war.

At this time, the wind is beautiful and the blue sky is clear, basking in the spring sun on the deck, blowing the warm sea breeze and eating seafood and fresh steaks purchased by Am, it is simply not too enjoyable.

"Hey, where is this out to do a mission, it's just a trip, and there is a lot of security fees to take, Miss Alyssa is simply an angel!"

A tall man in leather armor put the oak wine glass to the side of the table, and sighed with great comfort.

"That's not it, I've taken on the task of the John Chamber of Commerce more than ten times over the years, the risk is low, the price is moderate, and free meals are provided, which is simply a model in the maritime business world. A dwarf at the next table replied with a smile.

"Cheers to the beautiful Miss Alyssa!" said one of the adventurers, raising his glass suddenly.

"Cheers!" a group of optimistic adventurers fell into a carnival.

It was the first time for Sharela, who had participated in this kind of dinner, eating with bulging cheeks, and seeing that everyone raised their cups, she quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand and raised the wooden cup, poured a large mouthful, and then swallowed the food in her mouth, and finally let out a satisfied sigh.

She was a little hungry, and as soon as she had finished the church's 'Generosity Day' service in the morning, she was sent directly to the ship by the Archbishop of the Holy Coin.

What made her even more embarrassed was that not only did she not bring a change of clothes, but she was also penniless.

Just when she was thinking about whether she could use her status as a Woking priest to 'rent' a travel expense from Captain Elisa, she came across this free meal.

As soon as he filled his stomach, he heard the strong man from earlier chatting with his companions about this escort mission, and Sharela, who was going out for the first time, couldn't help but prick up her ears.

"If you want me to say, this time so many of our adventure teams gathered on the ship, as long as we don't encounter those legendary pirate forces, we should be safe, right? It is estimated that some small pirate forces will not even have the courage to jump in melee combat when they see so many professionals on our deck. ”

"Aha, isn't that taking money for nothing. One of the halfling thieves laughed.

"Don't be blindly optimistic, you are not newcomers to the sea for the first time, Miss Elisa's ship is worth a lot of money, maybe some pirate forces will choose to merge. ”

It was also a mage who spoke out to remind everyone of humanity.

"Well, that's what Master Jason said. Everyone put away their jokes and nodded solemnly.

Sharela, who was still going to sea for the first time, raised her hand and asked with some curiosity:

"That's... I would like to ask, is it really easy to run into a pirate ship at sea?"

The mage named Jason was suddenly accosted, especially when he saw that it was the beautiful priest he had been secretly following for a long time, he was stunned at first, and then forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, coughed lightly twice, tried to keep himself reserved and demeanor of a lawyer, and replied with a smile:

"This also depends on the situation, such as the Jianwan waterway from Jishui City to Baldur's Gate, which is relatively safe.

"The cliffs along the coast of Sword Bay block the way for those pirate ships to dock along the coast for supplies, and merchant ships have large port city-states to dock every few days, because of the prosperity of the sea trade in Sword Bay, there are often warships of various navies patrolling along the way, so even if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a pirate ship, the other party will generally only grab the property and leave quickly, because the longer you stay, the more likely it is to encounter other passing merchant ships and patrolling navies.

"But from Amm to the south, it's a lot more complicated.

"For example, the Ixavile Strait, where we arrived next, is probably the most frequent place in all of Correll for pirates.

"On its west side, the Nälancer Islands are a natural gathering place for pirates to inhabit and gather, and most of them are alien pirates who don't follow the rules of the sea.

"But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you don't try to go deep into the islands, you are not afraid of being ambushed and blocked by pirates, in the open view of the sea, even if you encounter a group of pirates, with the firepower of our dreadnought, it is enough to crush their small sampans, even if they force themselves close to the jumping gang to board the ship, hehe, so many of our adventurers are not paid for nothing. ”

After listening to the lawyer's explanation, Sharela was much more relieved, but still asked with some doubts:

"If the Nraincel Islands are so dangerous, why don't the merchant ships get as close to the Velonse Peninsula as possible? Even if they can't be defeated, they can land on the Velonse Peninsula as soon as possible to escape, right?"

Hearing this little white question, the strong man on the side couldn't help but interject with a smile:

"Little priest, this is the first time you have been to sea, do you know what else is called on the Veron Peninsula?"

"Fire Yarm Peninsula?" Shareela had heard of, but she didn't know why she had this nickname.

Several adventurers looked at her with some surprise, and the warrior continued:

"Legend has it that there was no such peninsula here, and the inland Kassanelin and Tesser, once a battlefield of dragons and giants, the coast where the Viren Peninsula is located has become the main battlefield, the breath of countless dragons, and finally triggered an undersea volcanic eruption, countless magma gushed out, evaporated the seawater, forming this fertile soil peninsula, and every year is approaching the Nerainsel Islands in the west, it is rumored that in a few thousand years or tens of thousands of years, the Netherry Islands may even merge with the Viren Peninsula, and at that time, there will be no Ixyville Strait。

"So the closer you get to the Velen Peninsula, the more reefs there are on the bottom of the sea, and you may even encounter fossilized bones of giants and dragons.

"Once stranded here... That's the end of it!"

Saying that, the strong man glanced at the sexy and chic Sharela with some eyes:

"When the time comes, the pirates will swarm like a school of sharks smelling blood. But a beautiful and sexy little girl like you, even if they are aliens, they should be reluctant to kill... But eighty percent of them may be ruined and sold to Karinsan. ”

"It's... Is it so terrible..."

Although the warrior was tactful, Shareela got goosebumps at the thought of falling into the hands of those dirty, savage, and murderous pirates, being ravaged and sold to Karinsan, and being trained into obedient slaves who had changed hands several times to become a tool for some unknown creature to vent his wishes.

"Baz, don't scare other girls all the time, if you don't have such a bad personality, you would have gone back to your hometown to marry a wife and have children. "Mage Jason couldn't stand it anymore.

"Cut, it's the same as if you have a wife. Buzz scoffed, nonchalantly.

“...... I'm a magician, and I'm not like you. Jason couldn't help but let out a group of ridicule.

"......" a group of older single adventurers who feel like they've been hit hard.

"Thank you, thank you for clearing my mind. ”

Watching them scare at each other, Sharela couldn't help but let out a silver bell-like laugh.

It turns out that this is the adventurous life, and it seems to be quite interesting. ’

And the big men looked at the looming beauty of Miss Pastor and couldn't help but swallow their spit as she laughed.

It's a pity that such a beautiful pastor, especially the pastor of Fortune Church, is not something they can pursue.

It is said that every Woking priest has extremely strict requirements for the wealth and status of his other half.

But it's also a good experience to be able to chat with such a beauty.

"Well, so don't worry, like those unlucky merchant ships, there is a high probability that they were suddenly hit by a sudden storm and had to temporarily go to the Nrainthor Islands to avoid shipwreck.

"And with the weather so good today, we expect it to take only half a day to sail out of the Strait of Ixavier..."

Thundered...

Almost before he could finish speaking, a muffled thunder rang out from the southern sky.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and they saw that the dark and gloomy clouds were quickly enveloping this side, and in just a short moment, half of the sky became dark and dim.

The canvas began to make a hunting sound.

The wind seemed to be gathering strength, the air pressure seemed to be low, and the sky was thundering.

This is...

A precursor to a storm!

"Damn, Jason, you're such a crow's mouth!" a group of adventurers glared at the already stupid mage and gestured their middle fingers.

“...... I don't want to. Jason felt aggrieved.

"Lower the sails, turn the rudder, sail southwest with all your might, and try to reach the Nrainsel Islands before the storm arrives!"

Above was also pierced the calm and calm command of the captain Lady Elisa.

“......”

A gust of sea breeze hit, and it was obviously still a little stuffy, but Sharella only felt inexplicably cold.

'Actually... Is it really a literal storm?'

Shareela only felt that her brain was a little overwhelmed.

The fear of the unknown made her clutch the priest's scepter in her hand,

'Don't... Don't be afraid, this is all expected by the goddess, and the goddess will eventually bless us. ’

'It's just... According to the oracle, you have to survive until the ship is about to capsize? Isn't that dangerous? And when is it about to capsize... I don't really understand...'

Sharela said she was a little flustered...

......

"Aha! It worked! It really worked! I saw it! I said it a long time ago! I, Addison, am the true gods! You hypocrites should all be caught and hanged in the harbor. ”

Seeing the black clouds and strong winds rolling in the distant sky, Addison, who was still a little apprehensive, stood on the beach of the island and pointed to a group of captains watching the excitement and mocked.

It wasn't the first time he had offered a sacrifice and prayed like Talos, the god of storms, but things like storms were always in flux.

Who's going to say for sure about the storm, let alone the god who rules the storm.

However, of all the gods, Talos should be the one who likes to show 'miracles'.

After all, summoning a storm to attack ships and coastal city-states was something he was happy about.

It's just that the ritual of summoning the storm is a bit cumbersome for Addison, who needs to sacrifice a sapient creature to Talos in the form of an 'electric shock'.

This ritual is also called Storm Fury.

After the sacrifice, the priests would pray to Talos and then howl his name.

But it is said that the presiding officer of such a ceremony is susceptible to lightning strikes when a storm comes...

Even Addison only tries it on the few times when he is cornered by official warships, and it consumes his few spell scrolls.

So when the mage from the Arcane Brotherhood offered to make him sacrifice to Talos and pray for the storm to come, he hesitated.

However, considering that he has always been lucky in this regard, the other party also provided five spell scrolls for free, and if he really succeeded, he could maximize his reputation in the pirate circle.

So he gritted his teeth and dried up.

I didn't expect it to succeed in one attempt!

"Is he really the god of storms?"

Merlin Dela, who was on the boat, stared at the one-eyed head dancing on the beach like a baboon in heat, almost shouting, 'Just ask who else', couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Who knows? he's always had good luck in this regard, but if he hadn't had any magical talent and low perception, he would have gone to the Storm Church to become a Storm Bringer. ”

Eric, the Red Devil on the side, shrugged.

"Hey, that elf with a snake on her head! I've done what you asked me for, and now it's time for you to make good on your promise!"

Addison, the one-eyed man on the shore, leaped into the air with a single step, dragged the reins hanging from the ship's side and swung onto the deck, pointing unceremoniously at Merlindella.

The promise he was referring to was naturally to let Merlin Dela come out to contain the archmage Fischer and consume the opponent's spell slot as much as possible.

"What's the hurry? I promised to do it, but since they are about to enter this island group to avoid the storm, some of them are stupid to help us attract firepower first, isn't it good that we wait for them to fire and come out for a while before coming out to clean up the mess?"

Merlin Dela's white neck was slightly raised, and she said proudly.

"Do you expect those brainless minotaurs and ogres to miss even the dismantled ship's guns!"

One-eyed Addison couldn't help but scoff.

"Heh, it turns out that you don't even know who is behind those monsters, but it's your fate that you've been at sea for so many years, and you haven't died on the sea. ”

Merlin Della smirked.

"Blueclaw Alogers, just a shipload like this, won't it alarm the blue dragon, I've heard that she's been sleeping in the Broken Tooth Mountains, and hasn't been seen in nearly a hundred years. Red Devil Eric frowned.

"But she still has two ogre brothers under her hands, and their strength is not weak, at least enough to be with the red-robed Zhou Xuan of Zelandia for a while. Merlindella said.

"Huh, why did you get the dragon? What the hell are you talking about?"

One-eyed Addison felt a little confused, so he came out to rob a ship, why is there so much trouble?

......

On the other side of the island, less than ten miles away from these human robbers.

The two ogre brothers looked up at the sky at the same time, and then looked at each other:

"The storm is coming. "The ogre brother Sicilys.

“...... But I haven't used the jar to pray for the elemental power of the big man. ”

The ogre's younger brother Serves looked at the rolling dark clouds and was also a little confused.

"I said... Isn't that a good thing?" the Minotaur Torrenir didn't understand what the two ogres were thinking.

"It's not a natural storm, Sicilies thinks there must be another human force infiltrating here. Brother Ogre said.

Serves felt the same way. The ogre brother continued.

"I'm sorry, it's a dereliction of duty...", Torenir the Minotaur quickly lowered his head.

Theoretically, if other forces entered the archipelago, someone under his command should be the first to notice it, but he has not received any information until now.

However, this is also a normal situation, whether it is a minotaur, an ogre or an orc, they naturally do not have the consciousness and sense of responsibility in this regard.

Seeing that neither of them replied, the minotaur took the initiative to ask:

"So what are we going to do?"

And so on. ”

“......”

Just a moment later, the sky was completely dark, thunder was rolling and roaring, the wind was howling, and the rain was pouring down.

A lizardman braving the heavy rain and panting prayed:

"Boss Toruń! The big ship you said appeared, followed by four smaller boats, just... It's just a little weird. ”

"Just what?" asked the minotaur, and the two ogres looked over as well.

"There was no one to be seen in those boats. The lizardman glared as if he had seen a ghost.

“......”
