The sailing boats of Red Crab Island have sails that cover the sky and the sun.

It is embroidered with a huge "Blue Jewel" symbol, which is the symbol of the court and signifies the dignity and authority of the Sapphire family.

"This ship is so big, much bigger than the Tulip family's ships. "It was the first time Paris had seen such a huge sea vessel, and it was a huge feeling.

Liszt, ignoring the aristocratic image, sat on the deck steps at the bow of the ship, with his back against the soft fur on Shaker's belly.

The sea breeze was blowing strongly, making his short pale blonde hair, which had been meticulously combed, constantly flying: "This is the fast sailing ship of the palace, and the speed of the ship can reach 10 knots downwind. My grandfather was once in charge of the palace navy, held a high position, won the trust of the Grand Duke, and directly gifted several fast sailing ships after leaving office. ”

The Long Taro family has always been known for its shrewdness and is an absolute follower of the Grand Duke, and when the Marquis of Merlin's father was still an earl, he scattered his family wealth to support the war waged by the previous Grand Duke.

In the end, he was exchanged for the title of Marquis and the huge Red Crab Island.

After the new Grand Duke ascended the throne, he relied on the Marquis of Merlin to take charge of the palace navy, and it must be known that the cross-sea operations of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire were most inseparable from the navy, which shows the Grand Duke's reliance on the Marquis of Merlin.

However, the Marquis of Merlin fell ill and is no longer holding court duties.

As for Liszt's uncle, Messiro Changtaro, although he was also a knight in the sky, he did not inherit the martial prowess of the Marquis of Merlin. was forced to pile up the family's potions until he was thirty-five years old, and he broke through the high-level fighting spirit. William Li at this age has already relied on the combat power of the Sky Knight to create a coral island line.

Although Messiro is very talented, it is said that Cousin May Opal has a good talent, and he is twenty-five years old this year and has already touched the critical point of Sky Knight.

A breakthrough is possible at any time.

I have to say.

To the extent of the accumulation of wealth of the Marquis family, even a pig can be piled up into a sky knight. There may be a gap with a talented player like William Lee, but it is not a problem to ensure the continuation of the family. No matter how hard you work to nurture the next generation, you can still achieve the longevity of the family.

"Your name is Paris?" Livira came to the deck at some point, smiled at Liszt, and began to talk to Paris.

"Yes, Baron Livila. ”

"You're not a Coral Island native? ”

"I'm from the Eagle Kingdom. ”

"Serfs?"

"No, I'm a mercenary. ”

"Hmm, there are a lot of mercenaries on the mainland, how did you come to Coral Island and accept my brother's employment?"

"Coming by boat, my sister was sold to Flower Town, and I pursued it here, and then accepted the Baron's employment. ”

"How's your skill?" said Livila, who suddenly felt the urge to try.

Liszt watched from the sidelines how Livira wooed Paris, without any words, just a faint smile, tickling for Shake Sen by the way.

Instead, he wanted to see if Li Vera could win Paris over, just to test Paris's loyalty.

Paris glanced at Liszt, who was concentrating on combing his hair, turned her head, and said to Livia: "I'm an elite earth knight, Baron Livila, do you want to compete with me?"

"I haven't reached the elite level yet, so I'm just going to ask you for a lesson in fighting skills!"

"As you wish!"

At that moment, the two took out their respective long swords and began to fight, and there was a bumping and bumping with thunderbolts, ending with Li Vera's long sword being knocked away.

It was evident that Paris had left her hand.

didn't even use the trick of light and shadow involvement, and directly used his physical fitness to defeat Li Vera, who had a fighting spirit.

After the competition, Li Weila praised Paris loudly, and talked to Liszt for a few words, then left the bow of the ship and returned to the cabin, without directly proposing to recruit - the current Li Vera has indeed restrained her previous temper and no longer continues to snatch good things in front of Liszt.

"Your sister is too far behind you. Paris said suddenly.

"She had been promoted to Earth Knight before she was a minor, and among the female knights, she was a very gifted genius. Liszt smiled and said very calmly, "But my talent is even better." ”

Paris turned her head away and didn't answer Liszt's words.

......

After the mercenaries left, except for a few working sailors on deck, only Liszt and Shaker remained.

Shake Sen was too big to like to stay in the cabin, so Liszt did not return to the cabin and continued to accompany Shake Sen to blow the wind on the deck.

Sailing at sea was a very boring thing, and Liszt dozed off, thinking about something that he didn't have.

Thinking of going to the fort of taro, I don't know if I will be able to see Athena Salmon again, this beautiful girl, and he will be deeply impressed. But he was too embarrassed to ask the deputy butler Ranieri about Athena's current situation, and with Athena's age, it was difficult to stay single.

After all, it's not a picky person like Li Vera.

"It can't be said that Athena is not picky, and that she was able to choose me in the crowd at the ball, which shows that her choice of partner is very high. ”

is fantasizing about Athena seeing herself and expressing her love again.

Suddenly, I heard the exclamation of the lookout at the top of the mast: "It's the devil cloud!"

Then the lookout had already sounded his horn.

The low, penetrating sound of the horn suddenly woke the entire ship from its slumber and hurried out of the cabin. Liszt, of course, understood the meaning of such a horn, which represented the ship in danger. He quickly stood up and took Shaker Sen to look around nervously.

With this observation, we saw that the sky had sunk on the course ahead of the ship.

It was a dark cloud rolling, mixed with lightning bolts, crushing the skyline in this direction.

"Devil Cloud!"

"It's the Devil's Cloud!"

The sailors exclaimed, and were finally stopped by the captain's voice: "Don't panic, lower the sails, drop anchor, the bow anchor will sink immediately, and the stern anchor will be ready." ”

The sound was not loud, but the well-trained sailors immediately calmed down the agitation and began to lower the sails quickly. A group of strong sailors, turning the winch, dropped the bow anchor. The huge wooden chain, driven by the anchor, made a piercing grinding sound and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

There is a lack of iron, and the anchors are all wood.

Although the wooden anchor is wood, it belongs to ironwood, which sinks when it enters the water.

A wooden anchor can weigh up to half a ton, sink into the water, and the huge drag force immediately stops the sailboat and anchors it on the surface of the sea.

Liszt was a little panicked.

Because he didn't bring the Sea God Bead, he was already uncomfortable, but he didn't expect to really encounter danger at sea. The vast sea could not have been easier to devour a few people.

Seeing Levi rushing towards the captain's room, he also rushed over, just in time to hear Levi's loud shout: "What is the devil cloud?"

The captain took out the flask and took a sip of it.

After settling down, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic, it's just a storm at sea, and in my life, I have encountered more storms than I have ever eaten white bread." The Cancer was once a palace sailing ship, with a huge tonnage, and its ability to withstand storms can completely withstand the devil's cloud!"

Listening to what he said relaxed, everyone calmed down a little.

But Liszt keenly observed that the captain was not as relaxed as he appeared, so he asked: "Captain, tell us, what is the devil's cloud!"
