Chapter 448: The Lurking Elf
At night, the sea is cold and dark, as if it is about to swallow everything. In the dark and cold sea, an elf held a piece of wood and paddled through the water, taking advantage of the tide of the waves.
"That idiot captain should go to court-martial!" The elf looked up and looked indignantly into the distance.
This elf is none other than the wood elf who jumped into the sea in front of Grimm not long ago, Selvelle Silverleaf. Severa Silverleaf, who was born into the Silver Leaf family of the Woodonassee Republic, can't accept the shame of being a captive of the Demon Clan! So in the face of the humiliation of being captured, Severle chose a difficult and dangerous path - jumping into the sea and finding a way back to land on her own.
Although it was very risky to do so, Severelle chose this difficult path with great ambition rather than having to be confiscated and having to suffer the cynicism of her relatives when she returned. At the same time, Severle also hated the commander of the battleship - a good patrol mission, the confrontation was almost over for a while, why did the war suddenly start!? Isn't it good to mix seniority in the fleet? Why die!?
The thought of that idiot commander from the Moon-Hunting Family tickles Celestial Heaven's teeth! But it doesn't make sense to think about it now. Now the first thing to do is to go back, and then there will be a chance to trouble that idiot captain.
Severel pulled out a bottle of stamina potion from her waist bag and poured it down.
The warmth of the magic moistened her limbs, allowing Severel to feel some strength regained, and at the same time to feel a lot warmer in her body. The difficulty of crossing the sea was even more difficult than Severel had imagined. The food and stamina are still enough, but the cold of the night is a bit terrible!
As a wood elf, Selvier has some potions and magic props on her body, and this is also the confidence of Selvier to cross the sea, but after feeling the sea at night, Sevier's confidence in crossing the sea has dropped a lot.
"I remember there seemed to be a coral archipelago in this direction." Severel glanced up at the moonlight, hugged the wood, and continued on her way.
At night, the icy waters and the sea breeze robbed Severel of her strength and body temperature, and the occasional passing sea creature peered at the elf who had fallen into the sea from afar, and there were some dangerous glances among them.
The Wood Elves' powerful perception made Thurvier aware of her situation.
Hunters in both the forest and the ocean have plenty of patience, and the cunning hunters will wait until the prey becomes weak and weak! So Severie was safe for the time being, but it wasn't enough to make Severie feel relaxed. The sea breeze was cold at night, and the danger lurking in the darkness was unsettling to Severelle.
Severel regretted her impulsiveness a little - if she had known that this would happen, she might as well become a captive of the demons. Becoming a captive of the demons is better than being a fishman and a sea beast's food.
You must find the coral island in your memory as soon as possible, or you will be in danger!
Severle dug into her memories, recalled the charts, and with the power of the waves, she moved and floated, occasionally correcting her direction according to the stars in the sky. According to the nautical charts, there should be a reef island occupied by fish-people in the vicinity. Although the island is small, and there is a tribe of blue-scaled fishmen nearby, at least you can give yourself a rest, and even the transcendent people will be a little overwhelmed by the constant floating in the sea, and the malicious gaze peeking in the sea also makes Severel feel a sense of crisis.
Suddenly, Severel saw what seemed to be a bright light under the night sky in the distance.
It was the glow of the flames, and the orange-red light was particularly bright on the dark sea, like a lighthouse to guide people in the direction of their direction.
"That's ......" Severelle's eyes widened and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, "Land!?" ”
Severel swam in the direction of the firelight.
Soon, as the firelight got closer, Severel finally saw the scenery ahead. A demon galleon is moored in the middle of the sea, and in front of it is a reef area, and a group of demons are lighting a bonfire and holding a banquet on a small reef island.
"Oh! Damn, how did the demons get here? Severel was a little surprised.
Obviously, this is the reef island that Severel had planned to find, but to Severel's trouble, a group of demons have taken over the place and are holding a banquet here......
Now it's in trouble.
Holding the driftwood, Severel quietly pulled out her bow and arrow from her back, then looked at the demons who were feasting on the island, and then at the ship parked in the deep sea area.
The sea in the reef area is very shallow, and the deep-sea battleship will run aground when it enters such a shallow sea area, so those demons who eat barbecue on the island are quite a distance away from the battleship. Severle was sure that she would be able to get on the boat without being discovered by the demons on the island, but she didn't think about what to do next.
Find a way to steal these demon warships and run away? Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not, even if you can really succeed, you can't drive a boat alone. Kill all these demons? If it is in the forest, the wood elves may be able to rely on the cover of the jungle to defeat the crowd, but in this vast and endless sea, the wood elves have no advantage. The only way to think about it was to kidnap the highest-ranking person on the ship and force them to send her back.
Severel hesitated for a moment, did not approach the bonfire on the island, but approached the demon battleship, quietly touched the demon battleship, took advantage of the night, quietly climbed onto the ship, opened a window in the stern, and climbed in.
The stern of the ship is the residence of the senior officers - the rooms of the captain, the ship officer, the gunnery officer and other senior officers are all in the stern of the ship. Since most of the officers had gone ashore for the banquet, no one noticed the elves who had sneaked aboard the ship from the stern.
Selvier quietly infiltrated the battleship, and under the cover of night, quietly searched and moved inside the sailboat, looking for the kitchen and food. After being adrift at sea for so long, what Severel needed most at this time was food.
The aft officer's quarters had a dining room, bedrooms, and even a recreation room, but since most of the officers had gone ashore, there was no food in the aft cafeteria. Serveel rummaged around, but couldn't find food, so she left the officer's quarters at the stern of the ship and searched the battleship for food.
Although most of the officers went ashore, there were still many sailors left behind on board. Severle listened with her ears pricked up, and there was a faint commotion ahead. Severle walked in the direction the voice had come from.
In the vast majority of warships, the galley was located on the middle deck, and this floor was also where most sailors ate and slept. Severel made her way along the middle deck, constantly shuttling and moving from cabin to cabin.
After making her way through countless cabins, Severel finally discovered the ship's dining room, galley, and pods leading to the cargo compartment on the ground floor.
The sailors ate and drank in the dining room, and the noise was still audible even through the corridors.
"The meat is gone! Bring another bucket of bacon! The head chef roared and led a few sailors to the pod at the back.
A sailor grabbed the pulley set of the pod, slid into the cabin on the ground floor, and secured a bucket of food to the hook rope: "That's it! It's fixed! Drag it up! ”
"Okay~" The two sailors pulled the rope on it, drove the pulley, and hoisted the food up.
After removing the food, the cooks and sailors went to the kitchen with the food.
When the group had left, Severel got out of the pod, and climbed down the pod.
Soon, Severle was down the pod shaft to the bottom of the ship's food warehouse.
Underfoot are wooden barrels full of food. Severel checked them side by side, looking for food she could eat.
Wood Elves don't eat meat, and magical fruits are the Wood Elves' favorite! But it's a pity that fresh fruits are not easy to preserve, and there are obviously no such "luxuries" on the "cheap" battleships of the demons, but there are quite a few dried Chaos mushrooms that are easy to preserve and store.
Soon, Selvier found a barrel filled with dried Chaos mushrooms, opened it, and took one out of it and threw it into her mouth.
"It's so hard!" Sevier grimaced and chewed on the food in her mouth.
Chaos mushrooms are a specialty of the Demon Clan, as a vegetable rich in magic and easy to preserve for a long time, Chaos Mushrooms also have a certain market among elves. Compared to the special magic biscuits, the Chaos Mushroom is cheaper than the special magic biscuits, although it does not taste very good.
With a bitter face, Severle nibbled on the Chaos Mushroom, then stuffed some food into her pocket, quietly left the cargo hold, and came to the stern again, hiding in the captain's room at the stern, and ambushed her.
