Chapter 111: Suspicion of a traitor
The big ship went down the river, and soon after leaving the city of Widton, the river became wider, and the width seemed to be more than a hundred meters. The river is wide, and the current becomes more and more soothing, and the calm water is like a mirror, only a breeze caresses it, bringing a trace of ripples......
I saw that even though the sails were raised, the speed of the ship was still slow and crawling like a snail. Lin Xian was secretly depressed in his heart, and couldn't understand why he was going by boat since time was pressing?
At this moment, a maid came up and said that Baroness Sandra was going to invite some adventurers to lunch. Lin Xian immediately put aside the depression in his heart, and walked towards the restaurant on the second floor with Paris and the others.
In addition to Sandra's mother and son, there is also Andrew, the leader of the guards. Needless to say, Lin Xian was very satisfied with the deliciousness of lunch.
After the meal, Lin Xian once again mentioned to Paris the problem of the boat ride being too slow, even if the carriage can't go all the way to Nasri, you can go to Farah City first and then take the boat? At least you don't have to grind around here, do you?
Paris interrupted his question impatiently, and simply said that the carriage would not reach Farah City at all.
Lin Xian quickly understood the reason why the carriage could not travel long distances as Paris said.
Before evening, the ship sailed into the mountains again. According to Paris, this is the remnant of the Kunders Mountains. In other words, the entire northwestern province of the Navi Kingdom is actually located in a mountain basin, and if there is no river connection between several cities, they can only go over the mountains and mountains, and there is no normal road at all!
With the merging of several rivers in the mountains, the river became wider and wider! The water surface is hundreds or even thousands of meters wide, and the mountains on both sides of the river are majestic, as if they were cut by an axe! The river has also become much more turbulent, and it looks like it is really rushing and roaring, and it is a sight to behold......
The water was turbulent and the boat was moving fast, and Lin Xian stood at the window of the guest room and looked out. I saw that under the reflection of the sunset, the mountain peaks outside the window were steep and deep! The mountains on both sides of the river are like green, and the ancient trees and vines grow between the crevices of the rocks! From time to time, I see the waterfall hanging spring, hanging high in the steep cliff!
Although the scenery on both sides of the strait is picturesque, Lin Xian couldn't help but get nervous in his heart. Because as the peaks on both sides tighten inward, the river gradually narrows, and the current becomes faster and faster! At this time, although the passenger ship has dropped its sails, it is still galloping, and the slightest negligence is the end of the ship's destruction!
From time to time, I also encountered some reverse boats, which actually carried strong magical fluctuations, as if they were the magical version of a motorized steamer. The river is narrow and the water is urgent, and it is even more thrilling when the two boats are wrong!
Fortunately, the captain of this passenger ship is experienced and personally at the helm, and the ship is safe and secure. But Lin Xian thought that if he was Count Mayo, he would never let go of such a good ambush location, so he called Paris and a few people to the deck to raise their guard, and their heartstrings gradually tightened!
Paris was nervous when she heard what he said. But standing on the deck and being blown by the strong wind for nearly twenty minutes, I found that nothing had happened except for the mountains on both sides of the river!
She began to murmur in her heart, did she take the wrong medicine? I was fooled by a retarded person! Boats come and go on this river, and even if there is an ambush, how can you tell which is the target?
"Hey! Blow the wind yourself, I'm not going to accompany you! My clothes are wet from the wind and waves......"
Before Paris could complain, she suddenly saw a flash of light on both sides of the strait, and more than a dozen magic fireballs shot towards the passenger ship!
"Wow! Is there really an ambush? You crow's mouth, you actually guessed it! Paris said in surprise.
Lin Xian's figure suddenly pulled up, and headed towards the flying magic fireballs, wanting to intercept them in the air! But I heard the sound of "swishing ......" in my ears, and it turned out to be an archer shooting sharp arrows like beads, exploding all the fireballs into a rain of fire! So without stopping, the figure flew in the direction of the magic fireball!
Seeing Lin Xian rushing towards him, a figure jumped up on a steep mountain peak, and flew quickly into the distance in a panic! It's a pity that compared to Lin Xian's jet mode, the speed is too different! In less than half a minute, he chased him behind him and slashed at the neck with a palm knife!
After the magical attack, the passenger ship has already become a mess, and all the guards run onto the deck, like headless flies, but they have no effect on the enemies on the shore at all!
Only the captain held the rudder with both hands, oblivious to the rain of fire flying in the sky. He stared closely at the river, dodging several craggy boulders on the water surface in a row, and after turning the pass formed by the two mountain peaks, he saw that the river suddenly opened up! Only then did he suddenly sit on the deck, cold sweat running down like water!
Lin Xian carried the unconscious captive, and quickly returned to the ship, seeing this, he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone calm down, the enemy has fled!" I also captured a captive! ”
Hearing this, the people on the ship gradually calmed down and came forward to watch the captured captives! The one caught by Lin Xian was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who looked about the same age as him! Dressed in black magical robes, but according to Paris, this is only the lowest level of magicians, and may have just left the ranks of magic apprentices!
Andrew was the most impatient, walked over in a few steps, and when his arm was rounded, there were a few loud slaps of "popping", and the captive's face quickly became red and swollen like a pig's head, but there was no sign of waking up at all!
Paris hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Stop, you're going to beat him to death!" We need to interrogate him how he identified our ship! Then he took out a porcelain vase and placed it under the captive's nose. A few loud sneezes were heard, and the young captive slowly opened his eyes!
After all, he was still young, and after opening his eyes, the captive looked around, and the look of panic was beyond words!
"I ask you to answer, if the answer is slow or incorrect, the fish in the river will be able to eat today! Do you understand? Paris said viciously. But her face wasn't fierce enough, and even with her eyes staring, it didn't look too scary.
"Listen...... Understood......" said the young captive. "It's just that I don't understand one thing, who is so kind to add food to the fish......"
"Poof! Hahahaha......" The second sentence of the young captive made the whole ship almost burst into laughter! Seeing his bewildered eyes again, the laughter resounded even more in the sky!
Paris's momentum that she had finally mustered up disappeared all of a sudden! She was also a little dazed, not knowing what to say next.
Lin Xianqiang strode forward with a smile and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
"Ten...... Seventeen years old, but four months away from eighteen...... "The captive seems to have something to say?"
"You can become an official magician at the age of seventeen, you are very powerful!" Lin Xian continued.
It seemed that Lin Xian was a little embarrassed to praise him, and the captive said shyly: "Where...... It's so far worse than you! Especially the flying magic, you will catch up with it at once! I've never seen flying magic so fast......"
Lin Xian hurriedly interrupted his nagging and asked again, "Why would you attack our ship?" ”
"Because my friend told me that you ships are spies of the Principality of Kulen! Crossing the Aldi Forest into our country to wreak havoc, are you really spies of the Principality of Kulen? ”
Well, this is a patriot!
"Who is your friend?"
"I would never betray my friends! You haven't answered my question yet, are you really spies of the Principality of Cullen? ”
Lin Xian didn't dwell on this question, and changed the topic and said, "If you can tell me, how to confirm the attacking ship." I'll tell you if we're spies of the Principality of Kulen or not! ”
"It's simple! My friend said that the ship on which the spies were flying had a strip of red cloth tied to the side of the ship! At first, I wondered why the spy had to tie a strip of red cloth to the side of the ship. When I thought about it later, maybe it was for the convenience of the joint......"
Looking over the side of the ship, I found a bright strip of red cloth waving in the wind! Now everyone is looking at each other, it seems that there is really a mole on the ship......
The first is to ask for support......
