Thousands of miles of blue sky, blue as washing, without a trace of white clouds.

What a nice day...... Sailor Nick stood on the lookout at the top of the mast and sighed with joy as he carried out the lookout mission.

Today is a rare good day, the sky is clear, not a single cloud is visible, and the burgundy sea is shimmering in the gentle sea breeze.

The three main masts of the "Breaking Waves" are fully sailed, and they continue to ride the wind and waves with the gentle sea breeze. Under the sun's rays, small undulating waves sprung up one by one, hitting the bow of the boat, splashing one after another, and together with the blowing sea breeze, with countless small droplets of water, and falling back into the sea.

Everything was so quiet and beautiful.

As a sailor, Nick loved the weather. You must know that this ocean, which is surrounded by the Lunaris Islands and the Necker Islands, and is known as the Sea of Swords, is called a gentle and girl-like ocean by sailors, but if anyone really regards the sea as a gentle and harmless little girl, then the sea may let him see the impermanence of the little girl.

"Praise be to the great and merciful Goddess Els......"

While praising the goddess of the sea, Els, the protector of all seamen, sailors, and navigators, Nick faithfully carried out his lookout mission.

Nick looked young, but he was a veteran sailor with at least a decade of ocean experience, and as a teenager he followed his uncle on ships on a triangular trade route from the New World, the Northlands, and the shores of Sword Bay, as well as the southern lands of Tesel and Karinsan.

In the New World, he came into contact with the faith of the gods of Landis, the great and merciful goddess of the sea, Els, who benevolently sheltered all seafarers, sailors, navigators, fishermen, and other people who begged for a living on the water, and compared with Amberi, the goddess of the sea, who had always been moody and temperamental and as furious as the sea, this benevolent goddess was obviously more in line with the beliefs of sailors, so he soon quietly changed his faith and threw himself into the protection of the new goddess of the sea.

However, the rise of this benevolent goddess of the sea clearly angered the moody goddess Amberi, and she set off tsunamis and storms in a rage, not only blocking the trade between the New World and the Old World, but even the trade along the coast of the Old World was greatly affected.

However, fortunately, the great gods stopped the goddess's madness, and it is said that under the pressure of the gods, the mad goddess of the sea had to stop creating storms and tsunamis and resume normal ocean trade. However, even if the sea is calm now, the blow of the goddess Ambori to the great and benevolent goddess Elsie has not stopped.

The church in Ambori frantically captured and persecuted the believers who belonged to the goddess Elsie on the mainland, and the people who believed in the goddess Elsie among the sailors, sailors, fishermen and others who begged for a living on the ocean had to temporarily hide their faith under all kinds of oppression.

After all, in the Old World, the influence of the goddess Ambori is still unquestionable. Goddess Ambori, who has been terrorizing believers with terror and disasters all year round, has a large number of pirates, robbers, fishmen and other evil people as her minions, and they wantonly persecute the believers of Goddess Els, and spread around preaching that those who believe in Goddess Els will suffer doom and curses, so that all the crew and sailors have to carefully consider treating the believers of Goddess Els!

Against such a harsh backdrop, Nick also had to leave his familiar circle - because many people who knew him knew that he was a believer in the goddess Els, he had to travel to a completely unfamiliar city to make a living. Luckily, he found a job at Baldur's Gate, the core city of the Western Soils, in the service of the powerful Silver Shield family.

The Silver Shield family is the de facto ruler of Baldur's Gate, owning one of the largest fleets of Baldur's Gate, and, in recent years, the Silver Shield family has grown extremely rapidly, and the fleet has been expanding, so with his rich experience, he can easily find a job.

This time, Nick followed the Silver Shield family's fleet to the south to trade with Tessel and Karinsan. There were seven large ships in this fleet, the "Breaking Waves" in front, the "Silver Rose" and "Melgen" on the left and one on the right, the "Princess" and "Silver Horn" and other ships followed, and the seven three-masted galleons were all loaded with cargo, and they were sailing in full swing, taking advantage of the rare good weather to hurry.

At this time, within Nick's lookout range, the sea was empty, except for the sharks that occasionally showed their dorsal fins, and seabirds such as seagulls and albatross that flew over the sea from time to time, and there were only seven sailing ships on the entire sea, including the "Breaking Wave", "Silver Rose" and "Melgen".

After a short stop in Ascalla, the capital of Amm, the seven ships departed from the port of Baldur's Gate ten days ago, and were loaded with Ale and Beer, which were the specialties of Amm, as well as sugar, tobacco, silk, spices, snow paper, and other valuable goods from the elves' entrepot trade. At this time, it should have reached the vicinity of the "Strait of Essavier".

The "Strait of Essavier" is a narrow strip of land between the Nerainsel Islands and the Huoyalong Peninsula, and the entire sea area is a group of reefs that cannot be settled, and only three relatively safe waterways can enter and exit here. Generally speaking, this dangerous strait with many reefs is a dangerous place for captains and sailors to talk about.

However, like the notoriously dangerous Storm Strait, the Essavir Strait is a safe place to sail and rarely cause accidents, although the surface and water are full of countless open reefs and reefs.

One of the main reasons for this is that in the "Strait of Essavir", there lives a group of dolphins full of wisdom, these creatures loved and favored by the sea, that is, beautiful and intelligent, they are very friendly to humans, whenever there is a boat passing through the "Strait of Essavir", there is a cute dolphin jumping out of the water to guide the ship.

The origins of this unknown custom are unknown, but thanks to these clever and friendly dolphins, accidents rarely occur in this otherwise dangerous "Strait of Esseverer". And even if a ship accidentally hits the reef in a storm, these beautiful creatures will take the initiative to rescue the crew who fell overboard.

For countless years, these beautiful creatures have won the love and protection of people, and throughout the Harp Sea region, all those who beg for a living at sea, whether pirates or navies, fishermen or sailors, regard the wise dolphin as a symbol of good luck, a guardian angel of the sea.

"Hey Nick, did you see our lovely Guardian?"

Just when Nick was feeling bored with his boring lookout, a sailor under the mast beckoned to Nick in a loud voice.

"No, I'm afraid we won't be able to see those lovely babies until the afternoon......"

Nick stood on the thirty-meter-high mast, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, and was about to express regret to his companions, but suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and immediately hurriedly shouted: "Ou, man, wait!" ”

"Hey man, some of them are busy!"

Nick looked ahead carefully for a while, then suddenly shouted, waved his hand down, and said, "Roy, your hunch is really accurate?" ”

"What?"

The young sailor, known as Roy, was a little confused and didn't understand what Nick was talking about.

"I said, man, you guessed right. Our adorable Sea Guardians have appeared, and they seem to have rescued a person in distress? Oh, they're coming this way, man, get ready to save people! ”

Soon, without Nick's introduction, Roy himself saw that in the direction of the "Breaking Waves", two dolphins were riding the wind and waves, swimming towards this side at an unimaginable speed.

With the shouts of Nick and Roy, the crew on the deck suddenly rushed to the side of the ship, and when they saw the figure of the comer, they immediately became noisy.

"What's going on?"

As if alarmed by the noise of the sailors, a young man with a tall figure and a sword hanging from his waist, dressed in knight's uniform, stepped out of the cabin.

Although this knight was young, he was heroic, and his slowly sweeping gaze was full of the solemnity and majesty of the superior, which made the noisy sailors can't help but be quiet.

"Pooh-sama, there's a fallen man in front of you!"

After listening to the sailor's report, Pooh Knight walked slowly to the side of the ship, raised his eyes to look at the shipwrecked in the distance who were riding on the back of a dolphin and waving to this side for help, and finally nodded: "Go and save people!" ”

On the orders of the Knight of Hanbani, the sailors sprang into action.

These sailors are all people who make a living at sea, and they are very skilled in how to rescue. They lowered the dinghy and sent two sailors to row the boat, ready to pull the shipwrecked people from the back of the dolphins, and took out the salted fish that had been prepared in the dinghy and fed them to the lovely and intelligent dolphins.

The dolphins excitedly ate the food fed by the sailors, and finally stretched out their heads and rubbed their noses against the sailors on the boat, and finally plunged into the sea and swam towards the depths of the ocean.

"Wow, that's lucky!"

"Wow, what a beautiful birdman!"

Soon, the shipwrecked was rescued on deck. However, when they saw the shipwrecked who had been brought up, the rude sailors couldn't help but whistle and show surprise and surprise!

This is an almost naked girl, although her long seaweed-like hair covers her cheeks, making it difficult to see her appearance, but the pair of vigorous and straight beautiful legs, and the undulating mountains, all reveal her beautiful figure.

However, the most striking thing is that on her back, there is a pitch-black wing like a swan, but this pair of wings that should be as beautiful as an angel has been forcibly plucked out at this time, leaving only bloody wounds and messy feathers, which looks extremely miserable.

"What's going on?"

"It's so ruthless, someone can be ruthless to such a beauty!"

"Fool, this is the swan daughter......"

Just as many sailors were discussing, suddenly a long dragon chant came from the sky, and I saw two dragons as black as the night sky suddenly rushed out of the clouds in the sky.
