Chapter 131: The Young Boatman

"You're going through the Moon Sea?" The young fisherman exclaimed when he heard Acoste's words, and his sluggish demeanor was swept away.

It's over, Acoste sighed to himself, the boatman looked like he was going to reject himself again.

Because the dozens of fishermen in front of them were also like this, they first exclaimed, then looked at themselves with an idiot expression, and finally closed the door with a "bang".

The half-elf swordmaster turned around in disappointment, and it seemed that he could only choose between buying a boat and riding a black dragon............

But before they had taken a few steps, the young boatman suddenly stopped them.

"Well, how many gold would you pay to hire me if I wanted to?"

"100 gold coins......" Acoste replied casually, and suddenly realized that the situation was not quite right, and immediately turned his head in surprise and looked at the young boatman with an incredulous expression.

"What do you say? Are you willing to go to sea? Great, money is not a problem, as long as you want, we can negotiate the remuneration or something! ”

"Uh......" The young boatman was also stupid by the reward reported by the half-elf, 100 gold coins, that was the money he had been running to the sea for several years, and now the young man who didn't look much older than himself actually said that he would give so many gold coins, and the boatman was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

However, he quickly made a gesture of please, and welcomed all the members of the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team into his room.

###

As the heavy, yellow gold coins were placed on his desk, young Gray finally knew that there was nothing wrong with his ears.

He hadn't seen so many gold coins placed together since he was a child, and Gray's face couldn't help but flush and his breathing began to quicken, but the young fisherman's eyes were clear. I didn't see the greedy look of the gold coin at all......

Acoste had been paying attention to the other party, and after seeing this scene, the half-elf couldn't help but feel a little strange, the other party was not like the kind of person who asked for money and didn't want to die.

So why did he take on his mission, isn't he afraid of rumors that the Moon Sea is haunted?

After a few moments, Acoste finally got his answer.

He saw a little girl timidly hiding in the shadows of the bedroom, looking at them with her big bright eyes. And apart from the little girl, there seemed to be a person lying on the bed in the bedroom......

"Are you in trouble?" Acoste guessed what was going on after a little thought, and he smiled at Gray and said, hoping that he could help the other party in some way.

However, the young fisherman did not seem to understand the painstaking work of the half-elves, and as soon as he heard Acoste ask about his family affairs, Gray's eyes immediately sharpened, and at the same time put his right hand on his waist, assuming a defensive look.

The half-elf immediately became happy when he saw it, and he didn't see any movement. Gray suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his ears, and when the young boatman turned his head to look, he saw a mark more than ten centimeters long and a few centimeters wide appearing on the beam behind his head.

"You see, I'm an adventurer who is many times stronger than you, and you don't need to be wary of me, because even if you warn me, it's still easy for me to kill you." The half-elf swordmaster spoke unceremoniously. At the same time, there was a trace of the sharp momentum of the Sword Saint exuding from his body, which was a persuasion technique. When you exceed 100 points in your persuasion skills, even if you don't deliberately learn, the way you speak will naturally change.

"I'm just kindly trying to see if there's anything I can do to help you, after all, you're the only one here willing to go to sea for me, and of course, you can choose not to trust strangers." Acoste shifted gears. The feeling that made Gray like a man's stab instantly sink into his body, as if it had never appeared before......

"I............ Lianse, come out. The young boatman opened his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he called out the little girl inside.

"She's my sister Lianse, and it's my wife lying inside. Clea. She...... She was under a mysterious curse and could only lie in bed like a vegetative person every day. ”

"I spent all my savings to heal her, but the town doctor told me that they couldn't cure it, and told me to try my luck with the priest in the temple in Far Mountain City."

Gray said this, looking at his sister, who was obviously stunted with yellow muscles and thin faces, with a gentle look in his eyes.

"In the past few months, all the fishermen have not been able to go to sea, and I have lost my job, and my family has not eaten for two days. So when I heard that you needed a boatman, I decided to give it a try. ”

The young boatman's eyes suddenly became firm, and he looked at the half-elf with blazing eyes, "Although I know that this trip may be a journey of no return, but since it is possible to starve to death if I don't go, and it is possible to live if I go, what reason do I have not to try?" ”

"Very good, you are a man who stands up to the sky." The half-elf sword saint nodded with satisfaction, he actually admired this kind of responsible person in his heart, as a man, you can be cowardly, you can be afraid of death, but if you lose even the most basic responsibility, then you really have to die......

"If you may, can you let us check on your wife's condition, you know, we have a pastor here." As soon as Acoste's words fell, Lavis stepped forward very cooperatively, and released the simplest magic technique, the flash technique, with both hands raised.

A dazzling ball of light condensed from the palm of the little daughter's hand, gradually flew into the air, and then burst open with a "poof" under the control of Lavis, forming a little glowworm-like light scattered on Gray and Lianth's bodies......

The young boatman and the little girl were dumbfounded and froze on the spot......

After a few seconds, Gray remembered something, and he grabbed his sister to her knees, and the two of them kept kowtowing to Acoste......

The great Ambori (goddess of the sea, although this deity mainly controls the far seas, but there are also some believers in the inland seas), did you really hear my prayers before sending them over? They really have priests who can cast spells......

Acoste grabbed Gray, and the Oriental Dancing Queen took a few steps to pick up Lianse.

Don't look at their usual brutality towards the enemy, but if they really want their opponents to be powerless civilians, the half-elves really don't have the cheekiness to do it......

Coupled with the fact that there was a little girl about the size of Doris among the two of them, looking at each other's pudding-covered little clothes, Acoste couldn't help but think of the most difficult time he had in the past.

Both parents died, and he worked hard every day to farm the land, and in his spare time he went to the tavern to work part-time to barely support him and Lavis.

This is also because they were lucky not to encounter disease and war at that time, otherwise they would not have had Gray at that time, and they are doing well now...... (To be continued.) )
