CH.12 Druid
As we all know, keys are used to pick locks.
There will be locks on the chests, and there will also be locks on the doors, and the role of a master* key is self-evident.
An Rui will encounter some treasure chests and doors in the future, he is not a thief, and there is nothing he can do in the face of the locks on the treasure chests and doors. In this case, either hire a thief as a crew member or get a master key* in your hand.
In fact, the universal * key is not really omnipotent, there is no key that can open all locks in this world, universal is only relative.
The master key that Anrui wanted to find* could open all the normal locks, but not the ones that had magic, seals, or curses. This level of key is already very useful for him today. If you encounter those special locks, you can find other ways to open them.
With a clear goal, Anrui swam towards the large ship, with Sophie following him closely. The two of them swam not far away, and then encountered the siege of a group of krakens, and finally rushed over.
This is the Siren's Lair, which is home to the largest number of Sirens in the Astrolabe Islands. If you delay here, even with An Rui's strength, you can't bear it, you must fight quickly, get the key as soon as possible, and then leave directly.
After a lot of effort, An Rui and the others finally arrived near the large ship, and through a huge hole, they got into it one after another.
The key was located in the crew room on the first deck, and Anrui remembered the exact location very well. He led Sophie to swim there, carefully watching the movements around him along the way, looking for someone in addition to being on guard against the Kraken that might rush out at any moment.
That's right, a person!
It stands to reason that this kind of place should not exist except for the Kraken, but there are exceptions to everything.
Finding that person is the second purpose of Anrui's trip.
This goal was quickly achieved.
In the darkness ahead, a small figure swam out, entering the range illuminated by the luminous stone, revealing its figure.
She has the appearance of a kraken, with a fish head, fins, and claws, but she is a little smaller, and she looks like a juvenile kraken. In addition to her small size, she also has a characteristic, her eyes are not as fierce as ordinary krakens, and appear softer and more human.
When Sophie saw the Kraken appear, she immediately raised her scimitar and was about to attack. An Rui hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped her, shook his head slightly, and signaled not to mess around.
The little kraken looked at An Rui and the two, guarded at the entrance of the passage, waved his hands vigorously, and opened his mouth to say something, but unfortunately An Rui and the two wore earplugs on their ears and couldn't hear them at all. The little kraken seemed to want to stop An Rui and the two from passing, and this kind of negotiation was obviously not something that ordinary krakens could have.
Sha Fei, who was originally murderous, was stunned for a moment, sensed that something was wrong, frowned slightly, and looked up and down at the little kraken opposite.
In this case, the two sides could not communicate at all, but fortunately, Anrui had already had a countermeasure. He reached into his arms, took out a roll of paper, and threw it at the little kraken. He knew in his heart that the little kraken in front of him was not a real kraken, but a big living person!
The paper roll penetrates the bubbles and falls into the seawater, slowly unfolding and fluttering.
The little kraken looked at the paper in the water, but he didn't dare to go over and get it directly, showing hesitation.
An Rui smiled slightly, and pulled Sha Fei back a few steps, showing that he had no ill intentions.
Only then did the little kraken pluck up his courage, took two steps forward, and while staring at An Rui and the two, he picked up the paper and looked at it.
Hello Amy, I know who you are and what you want to do when you stay here. We don't mean anything, we only came here to take something, and we leave as soon as we take it. I have something to say about what you've done, and I hope you'll come with us and find a suitable place to talk.
My name is Anray Stark, and it's a pleasure to meet you.
So it was written on paper.
As soon as the little kraken saw the contents of the paper, his eyes instantly widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
It's no wonder she's surprised, anyone would be surprised by this situation. You must know that the two have never met before, but the other party accurately wrote her name on the paper!
The little kraken took the paper in his hand, looked at it three times, and then stared at An Rui, his gaze constantly changing.
"Amy, don't be afraid, we have no ill will. As long as you let me achieve my goal, I will help you achieve it, I'm looking for something, you're looking for something, aren't you? Anrui smiled. The little Siren's fin-like ears were empty enough to be heard.
An Rui then said some words to stabilize people's hearts, and after spending some words, he finally won the trust of the little kraken.
The little kraken's mouth moved, said something, and then timidly stepped aside. Although she got out of the way, there was still a look of vigilance on her face, obviously not fully trusting An Rui and the two, which is also human nature.
An Rui knew the details of Amy, but he didn't have much defense, and swam directly past Amy, rushed straight to the target room, opened the door, and broke in. He rummaged through the house for a while and found a peculiar gadget.
This gadget is a miniature piano, small enough to be held with two hands, with a total of fourteen keys on it. After a long period of immersion in the seawater, the metal parts of this gadget have rusted and glowed ochre.
An Rui took the small piano and shook it three times, and there was a clanging sound inside. He smiled and put the piano in a bag he was carrying behind his back. The trip went well, the first purpose has been achieved, and the second purpose has already been achieved.
He swam out of the room with Sophie and smiled and beckoned as he passed by the little Siren.
"Our ship is not far away, you can come with us. I can help you find what you're looking for if you want. An Rui said with a half-smiling smile.
The little kraken hesitated again and again, but finally made up his mind and nodded timidly.
When he came, An Rui was a group of two people, but when he left, he became three people.
After some killing, they returned to the side of the Dragon. To people's surprise, there was also a battle on the ship, and several krakens climbed onto the ship at some point and were engaged in a fierce battle with the people on board.
Fortunately, Sam's throwing knife and Bereg's bow and arrow were powerful enough to withstand the Kraken's attack.
Seeing this, An Rui hurriedly flew up and jumped onto the deck. With his help, the tide of battle was immediately reversed, and it didn't take long for the Siren to die and flee.
The battle was over, and everyone's attention shifted to the little kraken, who was still in the sea, seemingly hesitating to get on board.
An Rui had no choice but to spend another time to "abduct" the little kraken onto the ship. The others wondered why Anrui had brought a dangerous Kraken to the ship, but out of trust in Anrui, they didn't stop him.
The Dragon set sail again, away from the Siren's lair, towards an exit in the Astrolabe Islands.
An Rui temporarily threw the little piano in the space treasure chest, did not rush to open it, and focused on Amy, planning to solve Amy's problem first.
The Dragon Teng drifted away, and it took some time to sail to a relatively safe area.
Anrui moved the chair to the open-air deck, put some pen and paper on the table, invited Amy to sit across from her, and began to communicate by writing. The others were curious and gathered around, but Berego was the only one who stood guard around him.
"Hello, Amy." An Rui wrote on paper.
The little Kraken spread its sharp claws, grabbed a pen, and wrote on another piece of paper: "Hello, Mr. Stark. ”
"You don't need to call me sir, just call me Captain Anrui."
"Hello, Captain Anrui. How much do you know about me? ”
"Not too much, not too little. I know that you are not a Kraken, but a living being, and you became a Kraken through the transformation of your druid's abilities. Now, please turn back into a human. Let everyone know you. After An Rui finished writing, he put down the quill and looked at the little kraken opposite with a smile.
Amy's gaze changed a few times, but she nodded and did so. She put down her pen, stood up, and clenched her little paws under the gaze of everyone. Her body bloomed with a dazzling white glow, and the light formed pillars of light, thick and thin, flying up and flashing.
The Siren's body changed under the baptism of light, becoming blurry, as if it had become a cloud of mist, and when the body was clear again, it had become a different look.
The eyes around him were all wide open.
The light dissipated, and a little girl appeared in front of everyone. She was a Terran girl, she looked like she was thirteen years old, she was very cute, her skin was white and tender, as if it had been curdled with milk, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, bright and moving in the blink of an eye. She wore a green dress with shoulder pads and chest pads, leaf-like lace at the bottom, and a simple wooden staff stuck around her waist.
Except for An Rui, everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the real body of the little kraken turned out to be such a cute little girl!
To others, it is an incredible thing to become another species, even a wizard cannot do it.
Only the druids could do this and transform into other species.
Druids are a special profession who worships nature, is close to it, and accepts its gifts. They can hear the low weeping in the wind, feel the pulsation of the earth, use spells to transform into birds and beasts, and manipulate all kinds of plants to fight.
Don't look at Amy, this little girl is only in her teens, but her strength is not low, if An Rui's memory is not bad, Amy should be an 11-level druid by now, and her strength is even above Shafei!
"You look so much better than you did just now." Anrui glanced at Amy a few times and wrote quickly on the paper.
