Chapter 52: Arrival
Three days later.
On the calm sea, a black sailboat sailed at an even speed.
The ship is small and has a modest appearance, but on the top lookout is a flag with a black eagle pattern.
It was the banner of Dazier.
Dressed in a long white dress, Freya stood quietly on the side of the ship, her hair blown by the salty sea breeze, and not far away was the chaotic conversation of the sailors, the rattle of the sea hitting the hull.
Although the Dazier City incident has passed, except for the injuries of four people such as Darmsteen and Nick, there is actually no serious damage.
Freya also had the strength to break through the knight intermediate level to reach the pinnacle because of the blessing in disguise, and most importantly the mysterious earring she was wearing now.
And this mysterious power she only vaguely mentions in the book, that is, the power of the legendary wizard.
"I don't know if it's true."
She subconsciously touched the earrings, the cold touch shocked her spirits, and there seemed to be some small dots of colored particles floating meaninglessly in her originally clear vision, and then her vision returned to normal.
This strange phenomenon made her frown slightly, because with the appearance of this strange phenomenon, the qi in her chest seemed to be implicated, and she became a little impetuous, but she soon quieted down again.
She had been doing this from time to time since her first night after leaving Dazier City.
Originally, I thought that the irritable feelings driven by the sense of qi were just because of the rapid growth of strength, but at the moment, I think it is because of the earrings...
The illusory colored particles in the line of sight seem to be the scene when the mysterious power of the earrings is turned on for the first time.
Although there is not much negative impact on her own body at the moment, who knows if there will be any problems in the future.
And Freya found that even if she removed the earrings, this phenomenon would occur.
"Is it the after-effects of using earrings?"
She guessed in her heart that if it was the sequelae, maybe things would be a little difficult.
Although the impetuous feeling in his chest can be suppressed as long as he controls it a little.
However, the important thing is that she is completely unaware of this phenomenon, and she does not know whether it will worsen or dissipate in the future, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
The baron and the others were busy with some business in the cabin and did not come out, and Freya, who had stood for a long time, was about to return to the cabin as well, when the conversation of the group of sailors not far away attracted her attention.
"Dragon Harbor, you young people haven't been there, you don't know how beautiful that place is! The streets are usually paved with marble slabs, and there are shops everywhere, so you can meet anyone, and it is one of the largest cities in Rudin. ā
The speaker was a middle-aged man with two mustaches, his face was swarthy because of the frequent exposure to the sun, wearing a white single coat, and the position of his right foot was supported by a black wooden stick.
ā⦠The sea is full of merchant ships, and the port of the dragon is said to be a place where you can buy everything, so if you visit it once, you will know the charm of that place! ā
Seeing the newcomers around him with yearning looks, the middle-aged man showed a smug expression, paused, and continued.
"However, to get from Dazier City to the Dragon Harbor, if you encounter a tailwind, it will take half a month at the earliest, but if it is a headwind, it is difficult to say, and in the sea, in addition to the storm, in fact, what we need to be vigilant about the most is the group of scum pirates of the Sea Clan, you see, my foot was once besieged by a group of pirates and accidentally cut off, you don't ...... it."
Looking at the big man's raised right foot a little speechlessly, the corners of Freya's mouth twitched slightly.
Although the scar had aged, and the *tissue had merged with the stick, she could still vaguely tell from her eyes that it was obviously not a sharp weapon, but as if it had been bitten by some animal.
However, she did not deliberately debunk it, but walked to the position of the sailors and asked in a curious tone.
"Pirates of the Sea Clan? Aren't we humans in an alliance with them? Why are they still being attacked? ā
The crisp voice stunned the middle-aged man who was constantly boasting about the past, and then when he saw Freya opposite, his tone suddenly became much more respectful, and he replied.
"That's right, miss, although we have an alliance with the Sea Clan, we can only bind most of the Sea Clan, and some exiled Sea Tribes are not subject to the same covenant as human robbers, so they often attack human merchant ships."
"Oh? Frequent attacks on merchant ships? Freya frowned, her eyes swept to the blue sea, and she didn't know what to think.
Seeing Freya's expression, the middle-aged man hurriedly followed.
"However, miss, don't worry, our ship is flying the flag of the City Lord's Mansion of Dazier City, and it still has a lot of deterrent power against ordinary sea bandits, so please rest assured that we will definitely escort you to the Dragon Harbor safely!"
The middle-aged man patted his chest as he spoke, as a reassurance.
Freya's eyes flashed when she heard what the man said, and then she smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, then I'll be relieved."
'The power of Dazier City can be extended so far, it seems that the young city lord of Moffett does have a lot of strength, but it doesn't mean much to me now, after all, that place is just a passing scene...'
While thinking about some of the city of Dazier, the shouts of the sailors suddenly came from the stern of the ship.
"Hurry up! Work hard, and you'll be able to add food in the evening. ā
"Ryan! What are you doing, hurry up and pull that rope up! ā
"All the best!!"
Five or six sailors were wearing their upper bodies, skillfully dragging a fishing net onto the deck.
With a bang, a net of fresh fish and shrimp was suddenly thrown onto the deck, and the sea water flowed out of the drain.
"What a catch! Big catch! ā
Looking at the large number of fish and shrimp, several sailors packed them all into the buckets prepared in advance.
The net was sprinkled at the right time, and it has not been pulled away until now.
This made Freya look curious.
"Haha, look what we've caught!" A young sailor, who was burying his head in the fish, suddenly shouted, holding up a large silver fish of nearly half a meter or so in his hand.
This sudden shout also attracted the sailors who had been chatting next to her.
And Freya, who was standing in place, could faintly see the appearance of the silverfish with her eyes.
The body of the fish, except that the scales were pure silver and finer than ordinary fish, there was not much difference, but as Freya looked at the position of the fish's head, her face changed slightly.
The head of the fish was a human face that seemed to be twisted to the extreme by fear, and at this time, the strange fish was still alive out of the water, breathing with its mouth open and closed, as if calling for help.
"What's that?" Freya frowned and looked at the sailor who was dancing as if he had picked up a lot of money, and asked the middle-aged man next to him.
"Miss Hui, it is a ghost-faced fish that can only be caught in the deep sea, it is a relatively rare fish, although it is similar to the common human face fish on the market, but both the price and nutritional value are many times higher than the human face fish, I didn't expect to be lucky to catch one this time, ordinary people can't taste it!"
The middle-aged man said very happily when he saw the ghost-faced fish.
"Uh... Ordinary people can't taste it. Freya looked at the terrible silverfish with a strange expression, and she had goosebumps on her body, and she could hardly believe that anyone would eat the fish that seemed to distort the human face.
Perhaps it was the noise of the sailors that disturbed the baron in the cabin, and he walked out of the cabin a little unhappily, but when he saw the grimace fish in the sailor's hand, he was slightly stunned, and his face showed a relieved expression, it seems that he also knows this kind of fish.
"Father." Seeing the baron come out, Freya waved to him in greeting.
Hearing Freya's voice, the baron turned his head and smiled, and walked over.
"How's your body recovering?" The deep voice was full of concern.
Freya nodded. "It's almost."
The baron seemed to pinch her arm uncomfortably, and only relaxed slightly when he found that he had fully recovered as she had said.
Since Freya was promoted to the knight rank, his attitude towards her has not been as strict as before, just like a child grows into an adult, and parents will not discipline her too much.
And the matter of Dazier was so dangerous that he was about to lose his life, and the baron was also in the last place where there was no one, and solemnly said something to her, something that was usually difficult to tell.
She still vividly remembered the face of the Baron when he faced her, his bloodshot eyes reflected in her.
'Freya, you've grown up, and I'll give you my full support for whatever decisions you make, but this time, I don't approve of it...... In the future, no matter what, only by living can you keep being strong, and as your father, I also hope that you can live forever... You know what...'
The deep words let her know that the Baron's true feelings for her as a father were unique.
Perhaps she could put into practice this statement in the course of a lifetime.
"Tonight, we're going to make that grimace fish soup for you and a few of them to replenish your body."
In a trance, the baron's words woke her up from her memories, and she looked at the sailor who was still showing off in the distance, and her face was still strange.
"Uh... Does my father know that kind of fish, too? ā
"Well, I once ate it at a banquet in the imperial capital of Byron, and this fish has a very good healing effect on the human body, and it is very replenishing. In Byron, the lower nobles had not even met. ā
When the baron was young, he was also a person who had seen big scenes in Byron, but only later came to see it and returned to his hometown and became a lord.
This can be seen from the conversation between Philip and Philip in the past.
"Oh." Freya nodded thoughtfully, and then she said suddenly. "By the way, father, have you ever encountered something with magical powers before?"
"Something of magical power?" The baron looked at her with a frown, a little puzzled. "Why do you ask that?"
"Iā" Just as she was about to explain what she had made up, the baron thought for a moment and said directly.
"Something of magical power... Actually, this is not a big secret, with your current strength, you may have seen those things. ā
Without answering, Freya's eyes flashed and she nodded slightly. It seems that the baron really knows about these things.
"These things, we call them demonic items, the legend is that they are things handed down by wizards, most of these things are unusable, and even if they are intact, they are very fragile, but without exception, they all have shocking mysterious powers, but after use, they have more or less some strict sequelae. The people who control them are basically some big nobles, and ordinary people may not see them in their lifetime. ā
'Wizard...' Freya said to herself, then asked.
"Father, do you know what the sequelae are after using it?"
"It is said that after use, the good ones will slowly become weak and sick, weak or paralyzed, but if they are bad, they will die directly, and there is no chance of rescue!" The baron replied softly, and then he glanced up and down at Freya with a slight frown, and said in a skeptical tone. "Don't you ......?"
"I didn't use that item!" Seeing the baron's eyes, Freya hurriedly said. "I've only seen a few people use this kind of thing in battle when I'm wandering around Dazier City, so I'm curious."
Listening to Freya's words, the baron stared at Freya as if to discern what she said was true or false.
After a long time, he turned his gaze back and said solemnly: "Then you are really lucky not to be affected, the ability to demonize items is very miscellaneous, but they are all powerful things, if you encounter them again in the future, just turn around and run, don't hesitate!" In front of that kind of thing, even some of the strong people at the level of big knights will be killed directly! ā
"yes, I see!"
Sensing the baron's unsuspecting look, Freya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart also secretly became solemn.
Although the sequelae have not yet reached the point of strictness, it seems that it is not optimistic, after all, my knowledge is too narrow, and I don't know anything... One of the most famous dragon ports in the Rudin Kingdom... I don't know if there are any clues there. ā
While thinking about his own affairs, he and the baron talked about other topics.
And as she spoke, her originally clear vision suddenly became a flower... This time, the frequency is ten minutes earlier than the previous two days...
This made Freya subconsciously touch the slightly fluctuating sense of qi, and a faint sense of urgency made her feel a little depressed......
Fifteen days later. It's like the endless sea.
Among the countless merchant ships, an ordinary black medium-sized sailing ship slowly sailed into the city called the port of the dragon.
On the deck, Freya, dressed in a capable swordsman suit and with a cross sword hanging from her waist, looked at the huge harbor not far away with a cold expression.
In her sight, the floating colored particles were no longer disappearing, but were in front of her all the time, and the feeling of qi in her chest had been suppressed by her, lest it explode in an instant.
