Act XXIII The Boat Troupe Fair I

"A better candidate?" Brando was a little confused. "But as far as I know, shouldn't the Tirmoths be the natives of this sea who know the White Headlands best?" He said as he cast his gaze on the white mist.

"Theoretically, yes, or indeed in this part of the ocean." Miss Elf replied in a bland voice, "But not necessarily in the case of a particular individual, for example, I know the world better than the Tirmoths. ”

Brando couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, this fairy lady is said to have the knowledge of one-third of the world libraries, if you want to talk about the understanding of the shallow sea, let alone the Tirmoths, even the Buga people's great library guardian - the silver scholar is probably not as detailed as her.

"Miss Tata, you mean that person is you? …… But the dragon queen won't notice you? ”

Miss Elf shook her head slightly, "I'm just giving an example, that person is a guest in Neverwinter Harbor, and you'll see him soon." His knowledge of elemental barriers is not much inferior to mine, so you don't have to worry about his abilities. ”

"So," asked Brando, "where is this gentleman?" ”

Tata reached out and flicked forward, and a transparent ripple passed through Brando, spreading out of the tent. Then her gaze turned back to Brando, and said: "He is in Neverwinter Harbor, you don't have to leave immediately in such a hurry, the speed of time passing here is only a few tenths of the outside world, I suggest you stay and repair, after all, the journey to the Earth Elemental World is not as safe as people think." And I have something to give you here, but until then I will arrange for you to attend a trade fair between the groups of ships, and as for the gentleman, I will arrange for you to meet there. ”

"A trade fair between ship groups?" Brando asked, "Is it the Tirmothians at the fair?" ”

Tata nodded: "Tirmos has no permanent residence and has been adrift on the sea all year round, and the time they meet each other is a very valuable opportunity to exchange experiences, charts, and some necessities. As such, such trades often take place on the path of light, and secondly, when the Tirmoths meet the traveling mage, they often notify the nearby ship groups to meet up for a larger trade fair. ”

"Brigade Mage?" Brando asked carefully.

In fact, he has been interested in it since he heard the description of the white mist, not to mention that the fountain of youth once appeared at the fair. He himself was desperate for some equipment to improve his strength. This time he went to the Earth Elemental Plane to fight with the Dragon Queen, and although his own strength was already comparable to the Extreme Realm, it was still not enough in front of the Sage Realm.

When he captured the War Slate, he had already broken down an ordinary piece of equipment in the battle with Bai, so even if it was the lowest-level magic equipment, he urgently needed to get it out first.

"Just as human seafarers need to prepare food and fresh water before going to sea, the Tirmoths need to prepare a variety of pure elements when sailing along the path of light, and these elements are not the kind of violent elemental power that the elemental envoys have in their hands, but the basic elements that can be ordered and basically only the traveling mages can provide."

Brando nodded silently. I knew in my heart that compared to the so-called basic element, which was the element generated by his land, that element was indeed very different from the elemental power of the elemental gate.

It is precisely because he is an elemental envoy himself that he knows this better.

After the ripples spread out of Miss Elf's fingertips outside the tent, the curtain of the tent was lifted by a short, fat hand, and the round body of the Elder Tilmoth, who had led the way for Brando, came in from outside the tent. It bowed deeply to everyone present, even Brando, and as White Mist had said, the Traveling Mage was no less senior than the wise or even the sage of the clan.

Then the elder straightened up his stocky body and looked at Miss Fairy.

"Elder Keb. You take Mr. Brando to the Templar," Tata said to him, "and arrange another fleet." We're going to get out before the July escalation, at least through the Misty Seas before then. ”

Elder Tirmoth, known as Elder Caybe, nodded, but his short fat hand did not leave his chest at all, only turned sideways, and bent down towards Brando, making a very humane 'please' motion. Even if Brando doesn't know about the Tirmoths. But they also understand that this obviously human etiquette is obviously not what they should be, and the other party is only doing it to show respect for him.

He hurriedly whispered a thank you.

However, before leaving, Brando bowed to the Sage Lord and the Elven Queen, and this salute had nothing to do with his identity. It's just to show respect in my heart. He clearly understood what they were going to do to seal Twilight.

"Mr. Brando, I wish you success in advance," the Elven Queen smiled, "and you will surely rescue Miss Roman." ”

Elranta nodded slightly, and then the figures of the two gradually faded until they disappeared.

Miss Fairy ignored the scene, and only waved her hand slightly, motioning for Elder Keib to take the latter away.

……

The wooden deck of the cabin was narrow and dark, slowly sloping and jolting to one side, and the sea lapping against the ship's side, as if it would not give up until the moth-eaten planks were smashed. The whole ship made a frightening creaking noise, and it seemed that it was about to fall apart at any moment. Brando looked out through the porthole at the rough sea, the white waves chased each other, forming a huge wave like a mountain of seas, and in the midst of the storm, several dragon warships loomed, sometimes they were completely submerged under the waves, and almost only a bare mast remained on the surface of the sea.

Such a storm was far better than the 'small winds and waves' he had seen on the Naga Sea, and even the white mist on the side looked a little solemn, this storm was far worse than the last time the lady had seen through the misty sea, and the unusual weather seemed to indicate something.

Only Miss Fias could continue to be heartless—as was the common trait of their race, the leprechaun sat at her desk, and was intently licking her fingers, and she licked from the little finger of her right hand, and her little pink tongue deftly did not let go of any corner of the sugar water, until the thumb was reached.

Brando listened as the leprechaun licked his fingers and gently lowered his knife and fork - the tuna meat on the wooden plate was neatly cut and served on ice, and the bright red and clearly textured fish was poured with the fermented ferment of seal fat and fish eggs peculiar to the Tirmoths.

This dish is called 'Kustika' and is one of the most important dishes of the Tirmose people at their greatest festivals. Aquatic tuna is rare and difficult to catch, and it is a rare ingredient in shallow waters and even in the whole of Vaynd. The Elemental Tuna meat is plump and firm, with a hint of icy freshness and an evocative taste, while the flavor of the Tirmoth's fermented sauce is different.

Outside the window, there was a sound of horns, Brando turned his head, and the afterglow of his perspective swept to the surface of the sea and sent out pillars of light from the Tirmoth's dragon leading battleship, which rode the wind and waves, pierced through the turbulent waves and the pitch-black sea, and shot into the rain and fog ahead.

"What's going on?" He couldn't help but ask.

The Tirmoths moved quickly, and in a few hours they had assembled a large group of ships, but instead of heading directly to the end of the white headland, they had sailed north first—the port of Neverwinter had notified the nearby Tirmose group to come to the fair, which was said to be located in the Sea of Bones, somewhere north of Neverwinter Harbor that was covered by storms all year round.

Brandor didn't know why the Tirmoths would choose to trade in such a place, and he thought that such a trade would obviously have to be in an area where the weather would be calmer or at least better, but he rarely guessed the behavior of the natives, as it did now.

White Mist scooped up a shallow sea mackerel with her claws, raised her head and put it in her mouth, bursts of intense water elemental fluctuations emanating from under her fur. She narrowed her eyes in comfort before replying, "It's time to get there, they're informing the nearby fleet." ”

"Fleets from other clans?"

White Mist nodded.

"Why would they choose to trade in such a place?" Brando frowned as he watched the lightning and thunder, wind and rain outside, the dark clouds in the sky almost hung straight down to the sea, and the lightning met the waves in a fine and dense manner, reflecting the sea water clearly.

This kind of scene looks spectacular, but people who are there usually don't feel it that way, they just feel like the end is coming, as if the end is coming.

Brando, though slightly better, is just as unaccustomed to it, just as a land people, no matter how brave and fearless, can never adapt to the vagaries of the sea.

Standing outside the door, Andesa entered the door several times, and even Brando could see the cramped and uneasy patriarch of the shepherd, she had the divine blood of Finrydos in her body, and after being planted, she was more attached to the 'earth', and even more uncomfortable with this life like a rootless weed.

Like at this moment, she pushed open the door again and walked in. The ship Brando was on was not the leading battleship of the Tirmoths—in fact the great ship called the 'Oberwulf' was the flagship of the group, and it was a strange shape, not like any sail or paddle ship Brando's ever seen, but rather like a platform of the sea—except that it was wooden and magically fortified. Because of this, the rooms on this ship were at least spacious, and the room that Brando had brought with him, while not as beautiful as his office in Valhalla, was at least much better than the dark hallways outside.

Although Ms. Andessa's appearance has long been different from ordinary people, her aesthetic has not changed much, and she also pursues a comfortable and comfortable life.

Even if it was a little unpleasant for her to be in a room with Brando.
