ps: Modify the wording.

Players who re-stepped onto the deck were much more lazy than the previous days. It can be seen that these days in the city, they are really relaxed. The dust from this journey has also been washed away.

Meet Claudia. Auditore couldn't help but greet the paladin: "Mr. Kent! How's that little guy who handed it to you? ”

"It just so happened that there was a shortage of handymen in the temple, so I left him there. I don't think I'll ever see that little guy stealing from the docks again. "Waynes. Kent was absolutely sure.

Heard Waynes. After Kent's arrangement, the thought popped into Barrett's head: 'If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a shadow guard organization in the Church of the Sun God!' Their task is to eradicate the evil beyond the reach of the public defenders of the Illuminators. I don't know if that kid will be one of them in the future. ’

But Barrett won't take this guess into his mouth. After all, although the shadow guards of the sun god are a semi-public organization, their actions are still very secretive. If you open your mouth rashly like this, you will be mistaken for asking for information.

To this, he could only give a modest answer: "Since the teachings of the Church of the Sun God, that misguided young man should be able to return to the right track before he becomes an adult!" ”

"It's not that it should be ≦, it's certain. That little guy will definitely be able to become an excellent young man who will be beneficial to himself and others. You can rest assured in this regard. "You can see Waynes. Kent had great faith in the temple's teachings.

For Waynes. Kent's words of course, although Barrett had the heart to refute, felt that there was no need to ruin the relationship between the two parties because of verbal cheapness.

He had to change the subject to another aspect: "What happened to the black samurai broadsword before!" ”

Although it has been traded to Waynes. Kent, but players are still interested in where the loot will end up. After hearing Barrett's words. The rest of the players also set their sights on the Paladin.

Keep in mind that the broadsword and the other piece of black armor are the only things the player can look at. At the time of retrieving loot. Rielly used her detective magic to look inside and out. However, all these fish-men were left behind were some ordinary shabby equipment and a shark-toothed evil insignia.

And it seems to be because of long-term immersion in water. The condition of those equipment is surprisingly poor. Even if they were sold to a blacksmith, they wouldn't be worth a few bucks—the cost of rebuilding them was comparable to building a new weapon. You can just melt it and see how much material you can get out of it!

Later, everyone also pinned their hopes on whether they could find some precious metals on the fish-man. However, near the fragments of the fish-man's corpse, there were only a few small polished shells that were relatively bright. But it's worthless in the human world.

"That night I had done a preliminary cleansing of it. Now it is left in the temple of Shakespeare, where it is infused with positive energy every day. I hope that all the sins on it will be cleared as soon as possible! "Waynes. Kent shrugged his shoulders, as if the knife hadn't been the one he had spent a fortune to get his hands on.

Rielly asked curiously, "And what will become of the handle if the purification is completed?" A transcendent weapon, or losing all its power? ”

"How can it be a transcendent weapon! After being washed of the evil power above, the broadsword will lose a qiē supernatural ability. However, after such a process, the original nature of Bartobi ironmaking will change. "Speaking of which, Waynes here. Kent touched his chin and bit his lip, "It should be a very qualified sword blank by then!" At that time, whether it is as an oiled weapon of the Holy Oil Knight or the base of the inheritance relic, it will be much better than ordinary items. ”

"Oiled weapons and heritage relics, it looks like you're really making a loss-making deal, Mr. Kent." If you know anything about this, Clematis. Bot said, shaking his head.

Waynes. Kent didn't care: "The key is to destroy the source of evil on that weapon." The rest is just a dispensable addition. ”

"Anyway, you paladins are always out of step with ordinary people. Selfish people like us don't understand. I don't know who Rielly was taunting by this.

But Waynes. Mr. Kent's experience over the years. He had already made him immune to that kind of words. There was no particularly big reaction to Rielly's bizarre statement.

Just then, Captain Hockdo's voice came from the aft deck: "All right! Ladies and gentlemen. The Georgia is about to leave the port. The deck can be busy during this time, so can you get a few of you to the cabin first? ”

Hearing this, Barrett looked at the crew members who were busy working between the deck and the mast. I don't know how I still feel that something is wrong. This made him feel unhappy in his heart: "Mr. Hoctor, how do I think that after three days, the number of sailors on the deck does not seem to have recovered much. Are you sure this won't affect the rest of your trip? ”

"I don't know if it's the one. He hired all the good sailors in Shakespeare's city. In the past three days, we have had a lot of effort to find a few that look decent. The rest of the guys are all a bunch of lazy guys. Captain Hockdor shook his hand off his hat and grumbled angrily.

"In other words, there is a zài gap in the number of crew members." Barrett immediately frowned when he heard this. At the same time, a cadre of players behind him was also whispering something.

First Officer John, who walked up to the players, explained: "Don't worry! There won't be much of an impact on that. At most, the boat was a little slower a few days ago. After a few days, many of the wounded will be able to return to work. When the time comes, it will be able to return to normal. ”

"If that's the case, I don't think we'll have a problem." With that, Barrett led the player into the cabin. But just as you stepped into your own big cabin, you were about to close the door. Waynes. Kent suddenly reached out and stopped the door that was closing.

Barrett, who turned around, asked in a soft voice, "Mr. Kent, may I ask you something?" ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm in." Said Waynes. That's how Kent got into the player's cabin. Then he carefully closed the hatch.

Meet Waynes. Kent is a weird one. Barrett scratched his head: "What is the need to be so careful." ”

"You still remember the sea elf girl you picked up from the water earlier!" Waynes. Kent whispered.

Claudia. Auditore said with a smirk: "I remember you spent a lot of money. to save her from a possible tragic fate. What's wrong! It's not like that! Indeed, in terms of appearance, the elves are really extraordinary! It's just that I didn't expect you, Mr. Paladin, to like the flat front. ”

"Somebody shouldn't laugh at themselves." Rielly stared at Claudia. Auditore said on his chest.

Claudia. Auditore angrily reached out and pinched Rielly's cheek: "You bastard, don't you dare to compare with a real person." ”

"You two, you ......" before Waynes. Kent retorted, and Barrett joined in the joke: "If I'm not mistaken, someone was basking in my happiness the other day. I didn't expect to abandon my fiancée who grew up in a blink of an eye, and empathize and say goodbye? ”

Compared with the ridicule of the ladies just now, Barrett's words directly hooked the soul of gossip in everyone's hearts. And Waynes. Kent was particularly excited about Barrett's final fatal blow: "Don't talk nonsense for no reason! If any rumors reach Soma's ears, don't blame me for coming to you for a duel. ”

All right! The threat of the paladin is always so bright. Of course, the solution is enough for them, and even more so. Players who know something about it are already surprised.

Fortunately, Barrett immediately turned his words back to the point: "Alright! I won't tease you. Mr. Kent, tell me about it. What kind of news did the sea elf reveal? Makes you so nervous. ”

Perhaps because of the fact that he was born and died together before, Waynes. Kent was very close to Barrett. By the way, he didn't mind the player's joke just now: "It has something to do with the Sawa Fishman we met before!" The sea elf had fallen overboard as a result of the attack of the Sawa Fishman. ”

"Please wait a minute! Are you sure that the sea elf fell overboard because of the attack of the Sawa Fishman? Barrett could almost fit a duck egg in his mouth. He shook his head and stared at Waynes. Kent: "Tell me again, I might have had something wrong with my ears just now. ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your ears, Mr. Boram, that sea elf fell overboard as a result of the Sawa Fishman's attack." Waynes. Kent nodded in affirmation.

"How is this possible. The Sawa Fishman is a truly intelligent aquatic creature! Do you think it's possible for them to allow a sea elf who is already in a coma to leave free and be rescued by us? Barrett laughed twice, "It's like a rapist knocking his target unconscious and leaving without doing anything." ”

But the magic had proven the truth of her claims. Of course, this is only the truth of her personal perception. "Waynes. Kent emphasized.

"This means that the news of the sea elf is likely to be just bait released by the Sawah fishman." Speaking of this, Barrett suddenly asked rhetorically, "That's right! I almost forgot about it, but it must have nothing to do with us free adventurers! We have no mission to protect peace on the mainland. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Boreham and your companion's final destination should be Sigma downstream!" Waynes. Kent's winning streak showed a hint of triumph. "If those fish-people want to gain a foothold in the inland river basin, they are naturally prepared to show their muscles first for us terrestrial intelligent creatures. And it is not enough for them to simply attack ships. ”

"I want a small port like Sigmar Town. It's not going to be the primary target of the Fishmen! If that's the case, this kind of information is ridiculous. As he spoke, Barrett turned his head to look at his companion beside him.

In response to Barrett's questioning, Waynes. Kent gave a direct and positive answer: "Why do you think that Sigma Town will not be the target of the other party!" Compared to large inland ports like Sanjiangliu and Shakespeare. Sigma Town's defenses are also very weak! ”

"But in a small place like this, even if it is occupied, the influence is not enough! This doesn't match what you said about flexing muscles! Barrett seized on the loophole in his words.

It's a pity for Waynes. Mr. Kent was prepared for this: "It's not just Sigma Town. The plans of the Sawa Fishmen included more than 10 of the first ports they would need to capture. The influence of one or two small ports is not enough. But a large number of them will definitely panic the residents living along the river. ”

Hearing this, Barrett's expression finally became a little stricter: "Is this news also from the sea elf?" Could it be that the other party got the wrong message deliberately released by the fish? Then it was let go by the fish-man patrol in the river. ”

"Nope! Not exactly from the sea elf. "Waynes. Kent shook his head: "The news that the sea elf brought was just a preparation from the fishmen. What a big move to make in the Gross River Basin. The rest of the information is available through different channels for several churches. The final summary analysis. ”

"Wait a minute! If it's really such an important message, is there really nothing you tell us who are not related? And the place where the conversation took place was in this cabin with no secrecy to speak of. Barrett asked with a stern expression.

"Mr. Boreham, how can you say that you are the ones who don't close first! You must know that in the previous battle, you killed a lot of Sawa fishmen. From this point of view, we are already companions. "Speaking of which, Waynes. Kent had a sunny smile on his face, "And that Highness the Black Warrior is the result of our concerted efforts, and with that Highness's personality, it is impossible to forget Mr. Bowlham." ”

Barrett said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like my companion and I are already on the thief ship and can't get off?" ”

"Don't say it so badly. Mr. Boreham, you and your companions are mighty and righteous. Fighting against those evil creatures! "Waynes. Kent immediately skillfully put on a top hat.

Claymatis on the side. Bott stared at Waynes at this time. Kent asked angrily, "This kind of thing is not something that we little people can afford." I guess you'd better be smart! ”

"Of course we're not going to do that kind of thing. In fact, the same news has reached all the port managers along the Tergros River. In order to prevent the fish people from suddenly changing their plans, it is not limited to the 10 in the previous information. "Speaking of which Waynes. Kent scratched his head: "So this kind of information is not top-secret news either. ”

Hearing this, the players who were originally afraid of suddenly getting involved in some big conspiracy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the risk had been greatly reduced, Barrett tentatively asked, "So what do you, Mr. Kent, or the Helios Church behind you, need us to do?" ”

"Seriously. We have yet to find out why the Sawa fishman invaded the river on a large scale. So a lot of forces can't be mobilized at all. "Speaking of which, this makes Waynes. Kent's face became a little ugly, "From the current point of view, the troops mobilized by the lords in various places also seem to be a little insufficient. If you can, you'd better stay a few more days after you reach Sigma Town. Temporarily serves as a defense force for Sigma Town. ”

"How many days?" Barrett said as he turned his gaze to Clematis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore.

Although at present, the two employers have been temporarily allowed to become companions. But before the original commissioned task is completed, Barrett will still ask them for one thing that hinders the entrusted task.

Claudia with her hands on her hips. Auditore glanced back at Barrett: "If it doesn't take long, I don't have a problem." ”

"If the Sawa Fishman attacks the port, it will have a very strict impact on the navigation of the entire river. At that time, the trade that had been relied on may even be interrupted. Maybe the church will give me a confrontation mission first! "Claymatis. Bot cut his hair.

Barrett, who had received the agreement of the two of them, swept his gaze over the rest of his companions, and after receiving no objections, he spoke, "How long do we have to wait in Sigma Town?" You know, we have a task to do. Because the 'Georgia' was attacked by the fishmen, it has been delayed for a long time. ”

"Don't worry! It won't be long. "Waynes. Without even thinking about it, Kent gave the answer that he had prepared a long time ago: "10 days, it will only take 10 days at most." Lord Sandy Lands, Lord of Sigmar Town. You can gather enough troops. ”

"10 days?" Sensing that time had passed, Barrett turned his gaze to his companion again.

It's also Claudia who feels a little delayed in time. Auditore frowned and asked, "So what do we get by taking on such a task?" Don't tell me it's unpaid! ”

"No, of course I won't let you do the daywork." Waynes. Kent paused, "Sigma Town will provide free food and lodging during your stay. Whether or not you encounter a fish-man attack, you will be able to obtain a new secondary rejuvenation wand. If you successfully participate in repelling the fish-man attack. The Church will upgrade the wand to a rechargeable type. ”

"The new secondary Rejuvenation Wand is worth 750-800 gold. If you upgrade to a rechargeable type, the price may be doubled. And, most importantly, very few people are able to make a magic wand of this type. Therefore, the circulation on the market is very scarce. Rielly looked at her two friends, "I personally think it's worth it. ”

Claudia who heard this. Auditore nodded at Barrett, who looked at Waynes with a slight embarrassment. Kent smiled: "In that case, we will take this commission." ”

Subsequently, the "Bloodstained Gray Flower Squad received the "Harbor Alert" branch of the large-scale regional historical mission "Ocean Current Diversion": the mission "Encirclement of the Shipping Lane" in the Digros River Basin. After the mission is completed...... Rewards will be distributed according to the player's table......"

'It's a diversion of ocean currents!' I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. According to the name of the system's task, Barrett immediately understood the severity of the event.

The impact of ocean current changes on the offshore climate is irrelevant for the time being, and Barrett naturally does not think much about it. However, in the sea area where cold and warm currents meet, the sea water is disturbed, which can bring the lower nutrients to the surface current, which is conducive to the reproduction of fish and provides bait for fish. Both currents can also create "water barriers" that impede fish movement, allowing fish stocks to be concentrated, often creating larger fishing grounds.

Fisheries can be considered a supplement to a food source for terrestrial life along the seashores. But for those who live under the sea, it is the field they depend on for survival.

The balance between all the intelligent creatures of the sea, including fishmen, merfolk, naga, sea elves, etc., and even some of the giants of the deep sea. will be completely broken by the change in the diversion of ocean currents.

It is conceivable that there will even be a protracted war between them for the right to control ocean currents! Moreover, the scope and duration of this war are beyond the imagination of all intelligent beings on the surface.

Barrett also knew that the Sawa Fishman would change his normal situation and flood into the offshore sea in large numbers. I am afraid that they want to prepare a relatively stable rear in advance in the war of the diversion of ocean currents. Fight for more living space for your own people.

At the same time, the diversion of ocean currents will also affect the problem of high sea routes, and many of the original routes that used ocean currents will greatly increase the transportation costs after that. For many large chambers of commerce, the charts that represented their original secret treasures were invalid. The commercial competition on the ocean has entered a situation where the old and new forces are on the same level.

As if he had noticed the unnatural change in Barrett's face, Waynes. Kent immediately asked, "Mr. Boreham! Any questions about this commission? ”

"We are very happy with the reward from the temple. But I always feel that you got such important information so easily, and it always feels like something is wrong. Barrett shook his head as he said this, "I always feel that those fishmen don't seem to care about our side strengthening their defenses." (To be continued......)
