【Chapter 488】 Save someone's life, take it all
Having experienced the most terrible things and being mentally prepared to face death, Larry was quite calm, quietly staring at the wind fairy hovering in mid-air.
Seren looked up in amazement, a small elf staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
"Summons?"
"It seems so. Larry nodded slightly, then shook his head, "We don't have magicians on our ship who can summon magic. So, I think, it should have come from that ship. It's just that its appearance is so cute and small that people can't associate it with the devil's minions. ”
Selen silently glanced into the distance, and suddenly said, "I don't feel any malice in it. ”
The judgment of a high-level magician of the perception system cannot be wrong.
Larry looked puzzled, "Why is it here, and what is the purpose of the magician who summoned it?" Is the answer on that ship?"
"The summon does not represent the will of the summoner, so I can't say for sure whether its owner has bad intentions or not. Seren shook his head, took a light breath, and said to the Wind Elf, "Little one, what is your purpose?"
The Wind Elf didn't answer, and went straight around the two of them and flew to the deck, observing the man who was fiddling with the sails.
"What is this!!"
Its appearance immediately caused a commotion. The knights drew their weapons one after another and gathered together vigilantly.
The Wind Elf did not pause, flapped its transparent wings, turned around and walked into the empty, blood-smelling cabin, wandered around, and departed at great speed under the surprised and confused gaze of the crowd.
"Boat, this summon comes from the devil's ship!"
"It's spying on us!"
"It's over, it's all going to end. ”
When they discover the origin of the summons, fear begins to creep in. Only the two apprentices, Ceren and Larry, looked at each other and remained calm.
"There were twelve people on board, there was a lot of blood on the deck, in the cabin, and there was no trace of the monster. ”
The magic was lifted, and the wind fairy dissipated in the sea breeze, and Elena got the information she wanted, and muttered: "The blood is fresh, there should have been a terrible battle." ”
"They're survivors!" said Harald, with some emotion.
"You can decide, Captain. Elena smiled, her purpose on the ship was to help, and she would not interfere with the captain's power.
"Thank you, Miss Elena. ”
After respectfully watching Elena return to the cabin, Harald hurried to the bridge to meet Edmund's eager eyes.
"There are survivors! Harald took a deep breath and began to order: "Adjust the course and prepare to get closer." Then he smiled at Edmund, "Perhaps, we can learn some more details from them." ”
Edmund's palms were sweaty, and in addition to excitement, there was some fear in his heart, afraid to learn the bad news from them.
"The ship adjusted its course, they ...... It's coming!"
The steel monster-like Unity, splitting through the white waves, came with great deterrent. The survivors of the Black Swan, their hearts instantly rose to their throats.
Then, to their surprise, something unexpected happened.
The ironclad ship, with a blue flag raised - an iron anchor and a great sword, surrounded by spray, it was the naval flag belonging to the Duchy of Vendôme.
"Duchy Navy?"
Ceren and Larry looked at each other again, and both saw deeper confusion in each other's eyes.
How is this possible?
The Solidarity was fast, and the distance between the two sides kept closing until it was clear that the people on deck could be clearly seen. Harald and Edmund also stepped onto the deck and watched them quietly.
"Duchy Navy, that's not the devil!
In a desperate situation, the navy of the principality suddenly appeared, and immediately someone fell into ecstasy.
As the Unity fine-tuned its course again, it reduced its speed, and finally slowly leaned on the side of the Black Swan, only seven or eight meters away.
"Are you here to save us?" the nobleman on the deck, who had forced his companions to jump into the sea, was the first to shout, waving his hands and his face full of excitement: "Oh my God, I'm going to love you to death." ”
Harald didn't answer him, his burning gaze swept over their faces one by one, and finally settled on Selen's body. The bloodstained magic robe on his body represents his identity.
"Help, help!"
There was a terrible howl from the side of the ship, and the nobleman who had jumped into the sea was still fluttering.
Edmund leaned over and looked at him with a shocked expression: "Sir Tenson, is that you? I'm Edmund, Edmund Cox!"
The one in the sea was none other than the great nobleman to whom Edmund was allegiated, the Marquis of Tensen of the city of Stia.
Sir Tengsen didn't even see who it was, but when he heard the name, his voice became even sharper: "Edmund, save me, save me, I can't hold it anymore!"
Edmund glanced at Harald pleadingly, who shrugged his shoulders, "Marquis Tengsen? Come, help him. ”
"Can't save him!"
Someone on the Black Swan shouted, "He's been scratched by a sea monster, he's going to turn into a monster and kill us all." ”
"Yes, you can't save him!"
"Let him die in the sea, for us and for you, it is the best choice. ”
"yes! ”
Harald pinched his chin, as if he was a little moved, and Edmund became even more nervous: "That's ......"
"Save me, please, save me, I'm willing to give everything, all I have. "Marquis Tengsen, who has drunk a stomach full of seawater, just wants to live.
"Then it would be more saved. ”
Before the sea trials, Qin Song arranged some additional tasks for Harald, that is, to understand the situation of the principality as much as possible, the behavior of the sea monsters, the scope of activities, and so on.
Whew~~ Edmund breathed a sigh of relief.
A small boat was lowered into the sea, and two sailors, rowing their oars, dragged Sir Tengson to the boat. Although there were quite a few fierce opposition on board the Black Swan.
During this time, Seren had been observing the other party, and he did not feel malice. But the other party still made him feel strange, their clothes were not some kind of naval uniforms.
"Everybody be quiet. Among the survivors, Selen's status was undoubtedly the highest, and he waved his hand to stop the commotion and asked calmly, "You don't look like the navy of the principality." ”
The status of a magician is noble, and even Harald's father as the governor of the Three Ports has to be polite to them. However, at this moment in time, Harald was reborn and high-spirited, as the second-in-command of the Blackstone Legion and the first captain of the Unity, he had the bearing of a superior person.
He nodded calmly and politely: "Sir, you are right. But I, and the Sir Cox beside me, were once Duchy Navy. ”
"Ever? And now?"
"Now. Harald smiled without saying a word, did not report to his home, and diverted the subject: "Mr. Magician, you seem to have suffered a disaster, if you don't mind, I would like to invite you to board the ship and talk about it in detail." As far as I know, this is not a safe place. ”
"Who are you?" asked a nobleman, boldly.
"Harald Canterbury, Baron of the White Gull. You may not remember my name, but there is one person you must know......"
"Baron Baigull, you are the illegitimate son of Duke Hesar, the Governor of the Three Ports!!" a knight recognized him and immediately exclaimed, "Didn't you disappear at sea?" A few months ago, the Duke had our knights investigate. ”
The identity of an illegitimate child is not a secret in the city of Stya. But no one will say it in public, which seems rude.
Harald looked calm: "You're right. ”
Missing at sea for a few months?
Selen keenly grasped the key words, which made him even more curious about Harald's identity. A little baron, in front of him, was so calm and composed?
"Your Excellency, our ship has indeed experienced a terrible catastrophe. Thank you for reaching out at this time, and I would love to accept your invitation. ”
"Choose wisely, come to someone, take a springboard. ”
The gangplank built a bridge between the two ships, and Syren and Larry were the first to board the ship, and the rest of the people, although they were still a little hesitant and muttered for a long time, but in the end they all agreed that leaving the Black Swan was the only option.
These former great figures who were famous in the city of Stia were all embarrassed and depressed, and many of them slackened and collapsed on the deck.
The boatswain brought them some clean fresh water, and Harald looked at the crowd drinking happily, and suddenly waved his hand: "Bring Sir Tengsen here." ”
The person who was drinking the water almost squirted, and Seren frowned: "Your Excellency, they are right. Sir Tensen was indeed scratched by a sea monster, and he would be infected with a blood plague and transformed into a sea monster. ”
"yes, it's not that we're ruthless. It's really because there's no way...... We don't want that. ”
"The blood plague spreads very quickly. ”
"It's a mercy not to kill him directly. ”
Harald looked at them with a smile without the slightest panic, and finally his gaze fell on Selen: "Even the magician can't do it?"
"Yes, there are mages who can get rid of curses and negative effects. But unfortunately, there are very few such magicians, and their abilities are limited, and they are simply unable to deal with the large-scale outbreak of the blood plague. ”
"What if I said I had a way to save him. ”
Selen's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously said, "Do you have a magician who can lift the curse?" I think, now I understand your actions. ”
The rest of the people also had the same expressions on their faces, and the voices of opposition disappeared in an instant.
"I'll save him, if you tell me honestly what happened. Also, the whole process of Stya's escape. ”
Seren groaned, "That's fine. ”
"There's no rush right now. Harald's gaze fell on the Black Swan: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything left on your ship?"
"Yes! There are gold coins, precious stones, etc., in the hold, which are our belongings. ”
Harald's eyes flashed with joy, saving people, you always have to collect some benefits, otherwise who will save people next time?
