Chapter 417: Ypjir
The surname "Ipugil" means Jewel Bush, and among the dozen or so business tycoons of Waterdeep, Delori. Ipugil is also the most rumored one.
Not only because of her praised beauty and good name, but some people also speculate whether the Ipugil family has any connection to the drow in the underworld, because the Ipjir are too similar to the drow tribe within the country, both of them are women, and the status of men is extremely low, and they can only practice swordsmanship as a guard, and they have no access to family affairs at all.
Charles looked at the silver-haired woman behind the table and couldn't help but guess her age.
A lot of things can't look at the surface, just look at the appearance of DeLori. Ipugiel is also in her early twenties, but in Waterdeep, rumors about her have been rampant for more than 20 years, which means that more than 20 years ago, Delori. Ipugil has reached adulthood and is in charge of the family.
If it were a pure-blooded human, it would be difficult for Delorie to stay so young forever, and it seems that the rumors about her connection with the Drow Elves are not groundless, after all, the elves belong to the long-lived species, and they only reach adulthood at the age of 110, and their lifespan can exceed 700 years.
However, in her skills, Charles did not perceive the slightest evil aura. If she has Drow's bloodline in her body, even if it is very weak, it is not difficult to find it with Charles's current perception, or she can further use the [Know the Bloodline] (Three Rings) magic to identify Delori. The basic pedigree of Ypjir.
Of course, the loss of the magic is just a thought, the first second mate Wu Fujia specifically told him to maintain respect for this lady, and even without this instruction, Charles did not dare to throw the reconnaissance magic to a powerful professional, this is a provocative behavior.
"Hello. Holy Advent. β
The charr stood for about three minutes. Captain DeLori, who had been studying the documents intently, finally discovered his existence. Put down the file and greet Yan Yuese.
"Hello, ma'am." Charles bowed slightly.
"Master Adrian has informed me, and I know what you are here for." DeLori's beautiful turquoise eyes were fixed on Charles, who seemed to be looking at him with a faint curiosity.
"The fleet of the Ipugir family welcomes you. In the afternoon, the fleet will set sail after loading its cargo, and you will stay on this ship from Waterdeep to Cal, the capital of Lunaris Island, for a normal voyage of about seven days. I've got the room for you. β
DeLori's voice is very soft, without a trace of the majesty of being in a high position, but like a big sister next door, people feel that she cares from the heart.
"Thank you." Charles bowed again. The female captain may be informal, but when he first boarded the ship, he must have no less etiquette, otherwise it would be disrespectful in the eyes of the other crew members. DeLori didn't care, but wouldn't it be a hassle for the crew to wear small shoes for him?
"Wufga, wait for him to go down." Delori smiled and summoned the second mate of the main ship standing outside the door.
"Yes. Lady! β
The large, dark-skinned man led Charles out of the captain's cabin and softly closed the door. The two of them walked down the long aisle on the first floor of the cabin. The cabin where Charles lived was next door to the captain's cabin, only three or four meters away, and Wu Fujia pushed open the hatch and said with a smile: "There are only six or seven rooms on this floor, and I live at the end of the aisle, if you don't understand anything, you are welcome to come." β
Wufugar turned to leave, and suddenly turned his head and reminded: "By the way, you should try not to go to the lower deck, where a group of powerful slaves are imprisoned, and they have not yet been tamed. If you can, don't approach the ammunition warehouse, it's managed by the third officer, and that's a great guy, not at all emotional. β
"I see." Charles nodded, and watched the black man disappear into the hallway before closing the door to the cabin.
Call.
Lying on his back on a large bed with a long sigh of relief, Charles pulled the quilt over the bed and sniffed it, then nodded contentedly.
The environment is very good, the quilt is brand new, and it seems that the female captain has put a lot of effort into arranging it. The cabin of about 10 square meters is actually very crowded, and the space is almost full after putting a bed. In addition to the bed, there was a dark red wooden table with magic lamps on it, and a lattice shelf on the wall of the table with books and nautical charts.
Charles glanced at the bonsai on the wooden table, sniffed the fragrance of a few pale blue petals, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
You know, this is the flagship of the fleet, and such an independent cabin is either for the high-ranking of the fleet to live in, or to receive distinguished guests like him.
After getting on the boat, Charles's tense heart could finally be relaxed.
Waterdeep's merchant tycoon families are no longer just commercial organizations, they are all powerfully armed, such as Ipugil, although female warlocks are in power, but male warriors are the foundation of this family.
Since Adrian said that Ipgil's fleet would protect him, he didn't have to think about it.
After lying still for a while, Charles pulled out a book and a scroll of magic from his inventory, looked left and right, and fell into deep distress.
The content of the book is the ancient Yaling martial arts obtained from the Yaling Secret Realm, and High Priest Andrea has helped him translate it perfectly, and his learning progress has reached 10% these days. The Divine Scroll is the [Star of Avatar] (Four Rings) that I just got in the morning, and as an important four-ring offensive divine art, this scroll also needs to be learned urgently.
After thinking about it, Charles still decided to go all out to learn the magic of [Star of Avatar]. Because of Ogma's completely blessed state, learning divine arts can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, and the speed is at least several times faster than studying martial arts. He currently needs a high-attack magic to press himself.
β¦β¦
Captain's room.
There was a knock on the door, and DeLori, who had already stood up and was standing in front of the nautical map to check the chart. Ipjir changed to a cold voice and said, "Come in." β
Pushing the door in, there was a young warrior with short silver hair, he was wearing light metal armor, and his delicate facial features set off a heroic temperament, if you walked in the bazaar, it would definitely attract many amazing eyes.
But the young warrior entered the door and knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said in a respectful tone: "Captain, the chaos on the dock in front has been clarified, it was the Shadow Thieves Guild who organized a group of elite disciples to assassinate Master Adrian. β
"Alamil, my brother, please stand up and talk to me!" The female captain turned around, and her cold face suddenly turned soft, "You are a heroic warrior, a genius martial artist who has inherited the swordsmanship of the Ipgil family, you don't need to kneel to me, let alone anyone." β
The young warrior didn't move, still hanging his head and saying, "This is the law of Ipujir. β
"Okay......" The female captain Delori was really helpless about this rigid biological brother, and blinked her eyes: "Can you tell me the details of the assassination?" β
"The Shadow Thief Mentor Genet has made a move, but Am's side has sent a half-legendary old assassin."
"The old Assassin brought the Flame Throwerβ"
"Flamethrower?" Delori's turquoise pupils suddenly sharpened, "So the 'flame' guy is here." It's interesting how the Priest of the Holy Coming escaped from the flames and ended up on my ship unharmed. β
The young warrior didn't speak, because he wasn't there at the time, and he had inquired about it at the docks. (To be continued.) )
