After dinner, it was already dark. The days are still very short in spring.

At this time, the ship's crew had been busy for a while, and they were preparing for the late high tide and getting out of the grounding.

At about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it was already pitch black, except for the dead wind lamps illuminated on the mast still swaying in the night breeze. The sailboat has puffed up all its sails and all the oarsmen are ready. Gradually, the sound of the river became louder, and the river began to rise.

The old captain gave orders, the first and second officers conveyed orders everywhere, and the boatswain was instructing the crew members on what to pay attention to.

As the river gradually rose, the hull of the boat began to shake slightly, and Charlotte seemed to hear the rustling sound of the bottom of the boat rubbing against the sandbar.

The hull of the boat swayed violently, rubbing against the sandbank, and despite the sailors, who rowed very hard, the captain was also experienced. However, the amount of water that rose this time did not meet expectations. After tossing and turning for two hours, the water had passed, but the ship still failed to move far and remained grounded.

The old captain took off his wide-brimmed hat and pinched it in his hand, silently looking at the flowing river in the dark night.

He looked at Charlotte on the side and said calmly, "This time it was the Mississippi River who won, in fact, as it always does. But don't worry, we still have a lot of opportunities. ”

The next morning, before they were awake, they heard a loud noise, and not long after, the hull shook violently, and then began to move. Charlotte collapsed on the bed she had secured to her cabin, vaguely aware that the ship had come out of ground.

The boat continued to move forward for a day, and Charlotte they began a new amusement. At Charlotte's suggestion, several people drove their own cards and started the group tour.

……

"No way, under my dwarves, that damn troll will have his legs cut off and fall to the ground wailing!" The old brother shouted unconvinced.

"You didn't pass the agility check, and you'll have to throw at least six points to successfully slash the agile troll. In fact, you're not fast enough and you've been dodged by the trolls. As a rookie DM, Charlotte said helplessly.

"No way, I'm so agile!" The old brother is still forcibly quibbling.

Xia Luo spread his hands and said, "Brother, you have to figure it out, now your card is just a second-level novice dwarf warrior." He's still a fledgling lad! ”

Artoria then pulls out a dice roll and takes control of her character and attacks a goblin, only to be dodged by the goblin and give her a hammer in response.

Artoria puffed out her cheeks in anger......

A few people manipulated their trumpets, and under the control of the conspiracy of the unscrupulous DM Charlotte, they were brutally tortured by the goblin troll bandits......

They finally experienced the difficulty of the novices' adventures.

Just after everyone was wiped out by the goblins, everyone stared at Charlotte with big eyes and unkind faces.

Charlotte hurriedly shook her hand, "It's none of my business!" This is set by the rules of the game. ”

"What damn rules of the game, it's not like you're secretly manipulating us, with my brother and I being so cautious, how can I step on the crude trap made by goblins?" The old brother was indignant.

Without waiting for Charlotte to explain, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and everyone stumbled, when the door of the cabin was suddenly pushed open, and the first mate on the ship suddenly rushed in, shouting as he ran: "Oh no! We've got a water monster. Bed net, let me ask you to help! ”

The group hurriedly ran out, and Charlotte stood by the guardrail on the deck, looking down. I saw a huge black shadow passing sideways under the boat, and the black shadow flicked its tail, turned around and came back from under the boat!

Then Charlotte felt another turmoil in the hull of the ship.

Charlotte didn't know much about boats, but the ship, which had been shipping inland on the Mississippi River for eight years, had two masts and was more than 30 meters long.

And the shadow under the water is actually 2/3 as long as a sailboat! Every time it passed under the ship, it shook the ship.

The dark shadow was hovering in the water, looking very interested in the boat! But I just can't see it clearly. Charlotte clung to the guardrail and scolded her mother.

On this wide river, the current is fast, and there is broken ice everywhere. If the boat is destroyed, people will fall into the river. That's really going to peel off the skin even if you don't die!

At the critical moment, it was the old captain who stood up. He drove the helmsman away and took the helm himself. And while directing the sailors, adjust the posture of the ship.

"Don't panic, don't make any offensive moves, this water monster is not too malicious yet, let's not worry."

Although the old captain said this, which calmed people's hearts, the sharp-eyed Charlotte still saw the beads of sweat on the old captain's forehead. Presumably things weren't as easy as he said.

The passengers were asked to hide in their cabins and not run around, but Charlotte was not one to sit still, and if something happened to the ship, hiding in the cabin would be like catching turtles in an urn.

Besides, the old captain still knows about Charlotte, the adventuring team that led to the destruction of the Bloody Hand Gang. He also counted on the fact that in case of an accident, Team Rocket could be used as the main combat force!

The terrified passengers were herded into the cabins, praying to the gods and quietly awaiting their end.

There is a lot of water transportation on the Mississippi River, and this kind of thing will inevitably happen. And in the early spring, this kind of cold weather, I ran out to take a boat. Obviously, it won't be a person of great stature.

Those big merchants and big nobles will not go out in this weather, and the passengers on the ship are all small merchants and adventurers who plan to go north.

The old captain, calmly steering the rudder, neither staying away nor aggressively encroaching, seemed to continue on his way as if nothing had happened.

Ten minutes passed......

In the end, the prediction of the old captain was proven. The dark shadow under the water, as if he had lost interest in the ship, shook his head, flicked his tail, and dived deeper into the water, disappearing.

The last thing Charlotte saw was a huge tail flashing across the water. The giant tail flicked, and even rolled up a small whirlpool on the surface of the water. The palm-sized cyan scales on the tail glistened in the sunlight......

Then, the giant tail entered the water, and the river crashed like a wave! The queen of hearts on one side forms a wall with playing cards to block a large amount of cold river water.

Otherwise, Charlotte will have to choose between the soup chicken and the water dog.

Alice on the side is clever in the end, and she has already taken out her own prop umbrella and protected herself and Yingcao.

Xia Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought: Fortunately, this water monster uncle is full today, otherwise these people on the ship will probably suffer.

Fighting a water monster of this size underwater, even a gold-level Artoria will definitely not be pleased. And those ordinary people, just the waves and whirlpools set off by the water monsters, are about to kill them.

After such a small episode, everyone was no longer in the mood to have fun and returned to the cabin to rest.

The old brother muttered as he walked: "The old tin flower pants!" I swear I'll never take a boat again in my life. If I take another boat, I'll be a bearded dwarf! ”

In the early spring, when the Mississippi River is covered with broken ice, the speed of the boat is never raised.

The captain also said that there is a lot of broken ice on the river, and if the boat is too fast, it may cause the danger of damage to the boat. So even the sails are only half open.

The speed of the ship is not fast, and the distance it can travel every day is not very long.

After the water monster incident, it was calm for two more days, and everyone was idle again.

In the end, it was Charlotte who suggested that everyone sing together!

The elder brother used his loud voice to sing a song similar to Pavarotti's "My Sun"! Singing very good!

It's a pity that everyone doesn't understand the dwarven language and can't understand what the old brother is singing. But the voice is really loud.

With a melodious singing voice, Luna sings an elven hymn. Everyone thinks it's lofty, but they don't understand it.

Only the poems and songs of the great poet Goethe, the professional, are still listened to well.

However, Charlotte as the south of East Three Streets, the first wheat ba!

How can such an opportunity be missed? Before saying this offer, Charlotte had been preparing for the night. In order to translate some Chinese lyrics into lingua franca.

As a writer on Charlotte's network, after changing the lyrics to lingua franca, he can barely rhyme.

The first song Charlotte sang was the "Song of the Waves" that she had sung before, but everyone couldn't understand.

When the elder brother talks about this song again, he feels like he has returned to the north and faced the flowing Yaruzan River. That bleak and rough feeling.

However, when Charlotte sang the second song, she actually sang her brother to tears!

How ugly that must be!

"Running around with stars and moons, just for a window.

When you get lost on the road, you can see the light.

Unconsciously treat other places as hometowns.

Only occasionally when I am sad, I inadvertently look into the distance.

The former local accent is quietly hidden.

Unspeakable promises, always rest assured.

There are many times when tears are shed.

That window is what makes me strong.

A small doorway, and her gentleness.

Give me warmth and keep me company

……”

As soon as Charlotte finished singing, she found that her brother had burst into tears! Tears even flowed down to the beard!

The old brother covered his face and muttered, "Moella, I'm finally back......"

Brother, this is a story!

For a while, everyone didn't dare to speak, and the elder brother also reacted and lost his temper. He wiped the tears from his face, told everyone to go back and rest, and then pushed open the door and left.

Everyone didn't say anything, but Charlotte knew that the old brother was probably homesick. If I haven't been home for decades, I'm afraid I'll cry even more than my brother. What's more, listening to my brother's meaning, there are still people waiting for him in his hometown......

Charlotte touched her head and couldn't help but think of herself. Although the elder brother has left his hometown and has been wandering for decades. But at least I can go back to my home, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back......

He patted his face and cheered up!

What are you afraid of! I can survive anywhere! If I don't have a hometown, I'll build a hometown! I want to create a Chinese nation in this world!
