Chapter 4: The Girl's Thoughts

"Well, you've long suspected ......"

"That's right," said the maiden, "that arcane can't make food. In the years since the city of Palamedes disappeared, the rations of the people of the city have been provided. ”

"My Empire's intelligence services thought they might have ties to one of Okad's small affiliates," Dimi pondered, "and now it seems that their food may come from the land beneath our feet." ”

The girl was stunned. Her original thoughts were actually similar to what Dimi said - it seems that the Empire's intelligence agencies are not for nothing......

"I just don't know if the place we are in is a continent or an island." The girl said. She looked worriedly at the endless sea of clouds in the sky.

Along the way, they have not encountered any danger. At first, they were worried that there would be dangerous animals or monsters, but after walking for half an hour, as far as the eye could see, the rough beach continued endlessly, and there were not even a few seabirds, only a barren area.

----------------------

A little farther away.

In a long-abandoned fishing village.

Former fisherman Adškolitsey rolled over comfortably. Although the hut was dilapidated, he had long been accustomed to such a life.

"Hi, Adam." Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out.

The name Adskolitzey was so long that every one of his friends called him "Adam", and no one cared that the correct pronunciation was actually "Ade".

"Let me sleep a little longer, Joe." Adskoltsei ...... That is, Adam said.

His companion, whose real name was Joanneca, but just as no one could call Adexkolicei by his name, everyone called Joanne "Joe" instead of "Ruo"—frowned.

"I've been there for thirteen hours straight." He said. Unlike the mediocre-looking Adam, Joe is a handsome man, just a little short. His voice was soft and somewhat sissy-sounding.

"Got it." Adam muttered. He sat up slowly.

Three years ago, a sudden group of pirates destroyed the fishing village where the two were born. At first, the two who died in their families worked for different lords and merchants, as long as they stuttered; Later, with nowhere else to go, they found a more stable job at a sentry.

Garrisoned by fifty soldiers, the post was originally built to defend against threats from the sea – just kidding! Whether it's a talking pirate or a "babbling" fish-man, they don't honestly attack from the same place every time. It is wishful thinking to defend a long coastline with fifty men.

Not to mention, except for the captain, who is a retired mercenary, the others are just farmers who are dispensed with weapons - every year or even every month, the people around the captain are changed.

But the captain also has his own way, and that is desperate people like Adam and Joe. As long as they can be given two meals a day, they are willing to die for themselves. The captain hired such people not only to expect them to fight, but also to report in time when the enemy was coming.

In this way, Joe and Adam returned to the fishing village where they were raised. It's in ruins, but there are still a few relatively intact houses to live in. Joe and Adam were also familiar with their surroundings, and if the pirates were only to come in one or two, three or five small boats, and wanted to park more and larger ships, this small village was the best place to go.

Of course, if you want them to report the news, the only thing you want them to do is if they make it back alive - but if the two natives can't escape, let alone the others......

------------

Meanwhile.

Outside.

"The village looks like it's completely abandoned." The girl stomped her foot anxiously.

"No, this footprint is new," Dimi leaned down, "there must be someone here...... Two or three. ”

"At least human footprints, not some Bigfoot civilization," the girl muttered to herself, "It seems that they are hiding?" "Without spellcasting ability, Dimi's adventure experience is invaluable.

"Possibly. Victoria, I recommend ......"

Dimi stopped suddenly. He turned his head to look at a small house not far away. The same is true for young girls.

There, in rags, Adskoltsei...... Adam was looking at the two uninvited guests who had fallen from the sky with a look of trepidation.

Dimi regretted that they should have acted more secretively, instead of swaggering around when they saw that the fishing village was deserted. He was, after all, a warrior, not a thief or a scout.

And now that it's exposed, it's easier to deal with.

On the clouds he was familiar with, he wouldn't have done that. Dimi always tries to negotiate with the other party first. can be in the world under the clouds where you are unfamiliar with life and your eyes are black......

Even a person in tattered clothes, who does not know whether he is a fisherman or a beggar, should not be taken lightly. Who knows if he will whistle and then a bunch of trained waterfowl will fly out of the invisible corner to attack him? Let's keep it under control......

……

Adam, on the other hand, was ready to exclaim.

These two people of unknown origin - damn it! They even have weapons! Look at that sword, and that silver ...... What's it called? Hammer spear? Whatever.

Especially since the one holding the hammer spear was still a girl. What a pretty little girl, Adam thought. In Adam's eyes, except for the madman on the other side of the sea and the strange heavenly visitor, no woman could hold a weapon and wear armor so easily......

Considering that the "mysterious heavenly people" will not show up easily at all, they must be the scouts of the pirates, Adam thought.

Now it's important to shout, and then throw your legs on—

“…… Belch. ”

Not to mention running, Adam didn't make any noise in the end. Dimi struck him in the head with the hilt of his sword. Even if he can't use the secret ritual, Dimi's "perfect body" physical fitness is still there, and he still has a hand on this fisherman.

"Adam? What's wrong? Joe, with a sleepy face, poked his head out of the room.

Then he saw Dimmim's dangling blade.

Compared to his friends, Joe is much more clever. The moment Dimi put the sword around his neck, he raised his hands and slowly knelt down on the spot.

"Hell." The girl cursed in a low voice.

She and Dimi both heard what Joe said just now. The problem is that they don't understand what this person is saying. That's not the lingua franca of Seeran at all...... It is somewhat similar to Xiaowei's native language, which is the pronunciation of Aucadian, but it is completely different......

Dimi was stunned, and then reacted as well. The language of the two worlds above and below the clouds is not comprehensible, which Victoria has just discussed with herself. I can't think of a real ......

Dimi gestured to the girl. This honest and obedient captive must be watched. On top of that, he had to make sure he didn't have any other companions around.

"Two earth-shattering warriors," shouted Joe, "there are only two of us here. I'm not going to lie. ”

Naturally, the girl and Dimi couldn't understand this sentence. The two of them could roughly guess what he was talking about—but so what?

The girl still searched the neighborhood to the bottom. It wasn't until she was sure that there were really only those two people in the neighborhood that she returned to Dimi. She shook her head, signaling that there was no one else around. Ever since Adam and Joe appeared, the girl hadn't spoken again.

Even though the two men appeared to have a "very low level of education", she was still unsure if they would cause trouble in the future if they found out that she and Dimi were speaking a language that they had never heard of.

And Dimi has already tied up the two.

I really didn't expect that one day I would follow the girl to do such a robber-like thing, Dimi lamented in his heart. Put it in the past...... Even if you are in a hurry, the guilt in your heart will not be so light......

Seeing the two of them trembling, Dimi was now 100% sure that he had gone too far and frightened the two poor creatures.

"I am willing to give you, to be a slave, to be a slave." Joe said honestly.

"I, too, will be a slave, a slave." Adam, who had just woken up, was afraid that he would be slow to speak.

The two understood that pirates on the other side of the sea could not understand their own words. But there's still a chance to speak a little slower...... And if you beg for mercy, it is estimated that it will be the same in any language......

"Are they talking slower than they were just now? Word by word, word by word, jumping out......" The girl keenly noticed the change in the two captives.

"Really." Dimi was taken aback.

"They didn't think it was strange that they couldn't understand what we were saying. Perhaps, the language barrier is the 'norm' here. The girl whispered.
