#29. Sharpen the knife to the Siren
As the sun sets, the light of the setting sun shines on the sea, sparkling with waves.
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the flowing golden light seemed to turn into the golden clothes of the sea, swaying with the waves, like a girl fiddling with her delicate skirt.
The Pioneer was also shrouded in a faint layer of gold under this reassuring glow.
She sailed slowly in the sea, and even if the surface of the sea was broken, the sea still embraced gold around her.
The lazy atmosphere spread through the hearts of all the crew members in the warm sunlight, and the warm feeling combined with the after-dinner nap made them sit comfortably on the deck.
I let my guard down, or I was chatting in twos and threes, or I was resting with my eyes closed.
Seeing this, Captain Fisher sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, they are all recruits who don't understand bullshit.
Of course, newcomers also have the benefits of newcomers, at least they don't know that the sea area they are about to enter is the territory ruled by the sirens, and if they don't know this, they will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
For example, the collective forced captain to change course.
For example, before I saw the Siren Siren, I was scared to pee my pants.
But Captain Fisher was more worried about what would happen next than these kinds of questions.
Disorder and chaos are the most taboo and the most feared things when sailing.
In a state of chaos, it is possible to do anything, including destroying the ship itself, and fleeing for one's own life.
"At the current rate, I guess I'm passing by the island where the Kraken lives at night."
At this time, Ballard had already changed into clean clothes.
With a faint smile on his face, he looked into the distance with a telescope.
Captain Fisher's thoughts were interrupted by Ballard's opening, and he nodded in confirmation without taking the telescope he had handed him.
"Yes, sir, but not just one island, but a small group of islands."
When he heard that it was a group of islands, the confidence in Ballard's smile suddenly increased with a little relief.
Just as Captain Fisher wanted to ask why he was relieved, Lena, who had woken up, came to the two of them in a hurry.
Jumping to snatch the telescope from Ballard's hand, he leaped forward, standing firmly on his shoulder.
He used his binoculars to observe the hazy scenery in the distance, and only after a while did he smash his mouth and ask the two people below.
"When will it arrive?"
Although the words were spoken in a flat voice, Captain Fisher could still hear the faint anticipation in the flat voice.
Pulling Lena off his shoulder, Ballard replied as he pressed her hat.
"That power furnace is a defective product that came out of the rush, and the cylinder exploded directly after driving at maximum power for a period of time, so it ......"
"Didn't you fix it?"
"It's temporary, and the Trailblazer can't turn right now, so it's up to you to control the direction then."
Knocking Ballard's hand down with the binoculars, and in response to his pained expression, Lena put down the binoculars and turned to leave.
"That is, I have to wait until the night, then I will go to sleep for a while."
Ballard didn't stop Lena from going back to sleep, because he couldn't stop him if he wanted to.
It is estimated that the only person in this world who can stop Lena with a word exists in that legendary village.
Seeing off the little ancestor, Heine, the newcomer, cautiously came to a short distance from the two.
Looking at the stance, she must have been curious about what she was talking about, but when she spoke, Ballard realized that her guess was completely wrong.
"That...... Is there anything I can do about it later? ”
From the time I knew her, this girl really didn't seem to come in handy, and after thinking about it seriously, Ballard finally gave two suggestions.
"Go and ask the head of the regiment what she wants you to do, or continue to act as a mascot to ward off evil spirits."
At that time, Heine understood why Lena always quarreled with Ballard.
This man's mouth is simply not beaten!
Grimacing at Ballard, Heine trotted all the way to Lena's place to "rest".
Seeing Heine's hurried appearance, Lena thought that she had met a siren now, jumped down from the table, dropped the whetstone, and strode out the door.
Seeing Lena swinging the freshly sharpened kitchen knife in a posture that she was about to go out and cut someone, Heine quickly lifted her back to the table.
Yes, it's a move, and the verb is not wrong.
"Are you going to cut Mr. Ballard!"
Hearing Heine's words, Lena tilted her head suddenly, and Shame Lem also turned into a green question mark and stood on top of her head in time.
"And what are you sharpening your knives for?"
"Didn't you come to me in such a hurry just to tell me that the sirens had appeared?"
“……”
After staring at Lena's eyes for a long time, Heine asked tentatively, twitching the corners of her mouth.
"Don't tell me...... You want to taste the Sirens' flesh......"
"Nonsense, otherwise what would I do if I sharpen my knife."
Truth be told, Heine had a new understanding of Lena's thought circuit after receiving an affirmative answer.
For her, it is estimated that in this world, in addition to "fried and others do not let it be fried", the rest of the cognition of other things, I am afraid that it is not the concept of "eating and whether it is delicious or not".
It's incredible!
Hurriedly explained her intentions, and after learning the true truth of the matter, Lena told her what she needed to do without thinking about it.
"Just smile."
“…… Feed! ”
After saying what she needed to do, Lena blasted her out of her room, and when she started again, her energy was once again divided into a crystal ball at hand.
The crystal ball was no longer as crystal clear as usual at this time, and the original transparent interior had a picture of the islands at sunset.
It's not a static picture, but as the sun sets, the sky of the islands inside the crystal ball also darkens.
It was also at this time that something appeared on one of the larger islands.
Seeing this, Lena finally stopped sharpening her knife to pass the time and vent that excessive energy.
He tossed his knife aside, picked up the staff he was standing on, and a large bag of glass bottles and went to the deck.
Lena told Ballard that he was about to appear, patted Captain Fisher on the shoulder encouragingly, and began to adjust his Winchester.
"I wouldn't have told you that there was a 1894 model, but the 1873 model looks more suitable for you."
Coming to Ballard's side, Lena glanced at the otherworldly version of the lever rifle in his hand with some disgust.
Instead of rebutting Lena's complaints, and reloading his ammo, Ballard smiled and talked about a topic he had occasionally wanted to ask but never asked.
"You have so much strange knowledge in your head, why don't you use that knowledge to make a fortune, but instead choose to venture out for treasure hunts and bully robbers?"
Again, she didn't respond, she tied straw to her staff, and Lena blessed herself with a flying spell.
"Am I lazy? Lots of...... Alright, I'll go to the heavens to welcome those Krakens, and I'll leave the ship to you. ”
As she spoke, she shook the glass bottle in her hand filled with a cloudy liquid.
