A breezy and misty dawn woke up to the barking of Nohibi outside the house. When she heard Nohibi's barking, Mikicharan, who was not in the same room, got up from her side, and put on a cloak of lambskin and went out of bed.

She went to open the door, she wanted to go out and see why Nohibi was barking so incessantly. However, the moment Siburis pushed open the door, a frothy wave suddenly poured into the room. Although the waves were shallow, they suddenly swept over most of the ground of the hut, and soaked Sibelis's boots in an instant. Just as Sibriss felt the sea water sink into her boots, she saw Nohibie howl and rush into the house over the shallow waves.

"Noshibi." Siberis took a few steps back in the face of the resurgence of the waves, she stepped forward and hugged Nohibi and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

Nohibi, who was hiding in the house, barked low at the rushing waves.

Sibriss turned to Mikki Charan and said, "Sage, the sea has finally risen here... ”

"Well, it looks like the sea rose very quickly last night." Mikicharan covered herself in a robe, and she said as she looked at the sea water that had flooded into the house.

"Can we sleep here tonight?" Sibeliss asked.

"I guess not. If this continues, even the entire camp will be flooded in a few days. If the ship that has come to pick us up does not arrive today, we ourselves will have to go to the higher houses. Mikicharan stepped out of bed, looked at the sky outside the house that was not yet fully lit, and said, "When it's daylight, we'll pack our things." ”

Siberis nodded and said, "Sage, but I think a ship will arrive today, and Evenson won't leave us alone." ”

Before the morning mist had cleared, just as Mikchicharan was packing up her things, Sibriss heard the cheers of the people, and she stepped out of the sea to see in the distance a Fiton freighter with its sails open and slowly approaching the northern part of Watch Island.

The Phaeton Cargo Ship is not built from the scarce dragon perch like the Phaeton Warship. Cargo ships made of giant cedar wood, although they are large and have a strong loading capacity, they also have a deeper draft, and they are far less agile than warships. The ship's fears of touching the rocks covered by the sea made it difficult for the sailors on board to find a suitable anchor at the surface of the sea, under the constant guidance of the island's warriors.

The people of the island watched the ship drop anchor and walked to the beach, hoping for the supplies that the ship would bring them, and also hoping that the people who had disembarked would bring them good news.

However, when the sailors on the cargo ship came down, the people of the island received a series of news that made them extremely depressed. That is, the whole of Feiton was also invaded by the rising sea. Even the towns and houses built on some islands by the sea have long since been soaked into the sea with the rising waters. In addition to this, it is also known that the current Feitun is also mired in a chaotic internal struggle.

"More than ten years ago, the sea water had already risen in front of the gate of Dragon Heart City. King Dover disappeared when he took refuge on Coldmoon Island, and no one saw his ship go there. A sailor on a cargo ship said to the fighters on the island after disembarking.

"We on Frosttrail Island were all busy carrying supplies to higher places, but Dragon's Heart Island sent warships to raid us. Evenson led his army to resist in the harbor of Iceword, and engaged them in a fierce battle. Another sailor said.

"How's the battle going? Did we win? A soldier who stayed behind asked with concern.

"It's a victory, but it's not a good result. Although they retreated, we suffered heavy losses, quite a few soldiers died, and two ships were burned. The sailor said.

"It's the Power and the Courage." A sailor added.

"Many people on Frosttrail Island have expressed their desire to install Rykril Taru of Eternal Night Island as the new king, and now the people of the island want to overthrow King Toflily." Said the sailor.

"And what does Evenson say?" One of the fighters asked.

"That's what he thought, too, and now he's on his way to Eternal Night Island to find Rickliel." One of the sailors said, "It was he who ordered us before he left, that we should take you with us on our way to Randy." ”

"What? Are you going to Randy? Still going to take us with you to Randy? The soldier who stayed behind asked.

"No, we're going back to Frosttrail Island." Said another soldier who stayed behind.

"There's only one ship here, and if you don't want to be trapped here, you'll have to follow us." The captain of the cargo ship jumped out of the ship, and he waded through the waves and said to all the warriors standing by the sea, "If you are in a hurry to return to Frosttrail Island, you can first follow us to the port of St. Michel in Randy, where you can choose to take another ship back to Phyton." Or, you'll have to wait until I'm done selling the goods and then go back with this ship. ”

The warriors on the island exchanged words, they were obviously not happy with this arrangement, but there was nothing else they could do.

"Nuxian, shall we go together too? Going to Randy? Sibeliss asked Miki Charan in a whisper.

Mikicharan nodded, "That's all there is to it for now, it's just a small island, and it's about to be submerged. If no other ships came here, we wouldn't be able to live even if we hid in the mountains. ”

"But, in that case." Xi Baili lowered her eyes and said with some sadness, "If one day he comes back..."

"Siberys, sometimes waiting is not the best choice, maybe when you grow up a little more, at a suitable opportunity, you can be brave enough to find him." Miki Charan said as he stroked Sibelis's blonde hair.

Siberis blinked, then nodded slightly.

"If everybody wants to leave, pack your bags. If someone wants to bring a female companion, then he can only bring one more piece of luggage! The captain looked at the many Garland slave girls on the island and shouted, "There is limited space on board, and no one is allowed to carry too heavy luggage." ”

When Sibriss and Mikicharan heard about it, they returned to the house together. After packing some of her belongings, Mikicharan handed them over to an enthusiastic warrior who helped her move to the ship.

As the people loaded their luggage into the ship and began to board the ship to set sail, Si Bellis saw that there were nine Garland slave girls who did not show signs of boarding, but were still sitting together on the grass.

When Siberis stepped forward and approached them, she was surprised to find that the slave girls were sitting together and weeping.

Sibriss hesitated for a moment, and then asked one of the older slave girls, "Why don't you board the ship as soon as possible?" ”

"Nobody," cried the slave girl, "no one chose to take us with us." ”

Siberice's heart tightened, and she turned her head to look at the people who were boarding the ship, and then at the other crying slave girls. After a brief silence, Sibriss said to the slave girls, "Come with me, and I'll take you aboard." ”

Several slave girls were surprised to hear Si Bai Lisi's words, and they looked at Xi Bai Li with tears in their eyes. A slave girl with brown hair and blue eyes said to Sibelis, "But you can only take one of us with you. ”

"Come with me, I'll help you." "I'll figure it out." ”

Mikicharan stood not far away, and when she saw Sibriss walking towards the ship with nine slave girls, she sighed softly and helplessly.

"Hey, bear slayer, you're only allowed to bring one slave girl on board." The captain stood on the boat and shouted to Sibris, "Allowing you to bring your great hound on board is already a special consideration for you." It's all for Taru's sake. ”

"Mr. Captain, if we leave like this, there will be only nine of them left on the whole island, the sea has been rising, and they will die here." Sibriss looked at the boat and said, "There's still room on board, I think we can squeeze in, right?" ”

"No, you can't." The captain said firmly, "Each person is only allowed to bring one female slave, this is the rule. If you don't come according to the rules, he doesn't come according to the rules, everyone doesn't come according to the rules, if everyone asks to carry more slave girls and supplies like you, then my ship will not be able to sail. ”

"They're not supplies, they're people." "Can't we give them a place?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't change this rule because of what they are. Now the boat draft is already very deep. I couldn't have taken any more risks. The captain said.

"Captain, what if...," Sibriss thought for a moment, and asked the captain, "what if someone would choose to take one person with him by unloading his luggage?" ”

"Are there any people with female companions who are willing to use their luggage to change their seats?" The captain turned to the people on board.

No one answered. The captain pursed his lips and said to Sibelis, "You see, people don't want to. There's not a lot of room on the ship. ”

"Perhaps we can throw away some useless supplies to make room for these poor ladies to sit on."

"Useless supplies?" The captain was surprised and said, "They're the most useless supplies." Not only do they not sell for much, but it will take several days to get from here to Zhenlan Harbor, and they even have to consume a lot of fresh water and food on board. ”

"Siberys, the captain is not wrong." Mikicharan walked up to Sibris, who looked very indignant and depressed, and said to her, "Maybe it's their fate to stay here." ”

"Captain." Sibris looked at the captain and asked, "According to your rules, the sage and I can each bring a sage, right?" ”

The captain nodded, "I specifically allow you to bring a dog and a maid. ”

"Okay." As she spoke, she climbed up the gangway, stood on the deck of the cargo ship, her eyes swept over the cabin, and then she asked the people on board, "Who hasn't chosen to take a lady with them?" If you have one, I implore you to take them with you. And I will compensate you for the goods you have to abandon for this. ”

"How do you compensate?" One of the warriors, who had carried a lot of luggage, immediately asked Sibris.

"The Bear Slayer." Sibriss hesitated for a moment and said, "If anyone is willing to take them back to Frosttrail Island, I can give them the Bear Slayer." ”

The people on the boat looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly they all burst out laughing.

"Is the ship named after your nickname your ship?" A sailor asked Sibeliss with a smile.

"That's Taru's ship, you don't have the authority to do that." Another fighter added.

Siberis took out a roll of parchment from her waist amid the laughter of the crowd. She unfolded it slowly, and then, holding the scroll of paper on one end, she showed it to the people on the ship, "The Bear Slayer doesn't belong to Taru, it's a gift from Taru. It's my boat. ”

Some of the warriors got up and looked closer at the parchment, and they were surprised to find that the scroll clearly stated that the Bear Slayer was a private ship, and that its owner had written the name of Sibelis. At the bottom of the deed, one sees a handwritten message from Friedley, "To the brave Featon warrior, Bear Slayer Siberys Roland." ”

"Ancestors, as long as you bring a slave girl, you can enjoy a warship. There are such good things. One of the fighters said with wide eyes.

"Oh my God, I do." Another fighter immediately said, "I'm even willing to throw away all my luggage." ”

"I would too." Another fighter said.

"Looks like we're going to have a ship together."

The captain watched as the warriors scrambled to leave their luggage behind, and they snatched the slave girls one after another and took them aboard the ship one by one. Seeing this, the captain's mouth grew, and he had to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then said to Siberys, "I have never seen a girl as bold as you. It's incredible. It was a warship made of perch. ”

When everyone was on board, the ship lifted anchor. Leaving the offshore waters of Overwatch Island, the cargo ship slowly sailed towards Randy in the southwest.

Looking at the Overwatch Island behind her, which had been transformed by the sea engulfing her, Sibriel whispered to Mikicharan, "Sage, is even Frosttrail Island really like this?" ”

"Perhaps." "Child, I want you to tell me why you used the ship that Taru gave you as a bargaining chip for a few slave girls?" Is it because they're Garlandians that you're desperate to save them, right? ”

"I... Virtuous women, I didn't think about who they were to save them. I... I just don't want to see anyone abandoned. Siberice looked at Miki Charan and said with some guilt, "That ship was given to me by Taru, and I am actually very reluctant to give it up." But, on my own, even if the ship were indeed mine, I would not have been able to sail on it. So...."

"So you gave it up so easily?" Mikicharan asked Sibelis, "Don't you think that will chill him?" ”

Siberis looked at Miki Charan, slowly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry sage, I... ”

Mikicharan stroked Siberis's head, and then said, "But really, if you only have an empty ship, and you don't obey your sailors and warriors, or even the captain, then it's almost like nothing. ”

"The sage... You say. When Taru returns, will he be angry when he finds out that I have exchanged the boat he gave me for someone else? Silberis asked.

"I don't know." Mikicharan smiled and said, "But I think he might build you a new one." ”

Si Bellis looked down and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, bear slayer, for your help, you got me on the boat."

When she heard someone speaking to her in Garland, she turned her head to see that the person who was speaking to her at this time was the brown-haired and blue-eyed Garland woman who was still touching her tears. And she was now smiling closer, and continued to say in Garland, "Miss Siberis, thank you for saving me and saving us all.

"No thanks." Sibeliss smiled at her.

"Miss, thank you again for bringing me to this ship. However, even though I got on the boat, no one wanted to ask for it.... Miss, if you wish, I would like to follow you as your servant from now on. All right? She asked, looking deeply at Siberis.

"What's your name?" Miki Charan asked, just before Sibryss could respond.

"My name is Milica, Virtuous."

"Oh, you're pretty good at the Pheton language. At least know that you know the word sage and use it in the right place. Miki Charan smiled and said, "Since it was Siberis who saved you, you should stay with her and be her servant." ”

"Nushy, that's what she just said to me in Garland." Sibriss turned to Miki Charan and said, "She said she was homeless, and she said she wanted to come with us. ”

"Okay." Miki Charan said, spreading his hands.

"Nuxian, are you interested in learning Garland?" Sibriel asked with a tilt of her head to Miki Charan.

"No, that's too hard for me." "You know, the best time to learn a language is when you're young, and the best place to learn a language is when people only speak it. Now, I don't have either, and I'm afraid that even if I really want to learn, it will be difficult to learn any new language. ”

"I see, Sage. I'll only speak Feeton in the future, so that you don't understand. Sibelis said with a smile.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be." "When people speak their mother tongue, they always feel at home. ”

Sibriss smiled and said, "Woman, I think speaking Pheton makes me feel at home. ”

Mikicharan smiled and stroked the top of Sibelis's head.
