Verse 20 At sea
The early morning sun dispelled the mist from the sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A beautiful three-masted schooner was sailing on the wind and waves, and its white sails were full of wind, pushing the sailboat lightly across the water.
On the blue sea, two white wakes spread far away, and some seabirds followed the wake of the sailboat and danced, from time to time they plunged into the sea, picked up a sea fish and swallowed it, and then fluttered up and caught up with the sailboat again.
The crow stood calmly on the armrest of the stern of the boat, looking at the seabirds with disdain.
"What are you looking at? Have you ever seen a beautiful little female bird? Chen Yin climbed up the stern and asked when he saw the crow's deep face.
"A bunch of stupid birds." The crow squinted at Chen Yin, "Silly bird!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into a cloud of black mist.
“…… How do I think that last sentence is saying about me? Chen Yin scratched his head.
However, the crow ran away after scolding, and Chen Yin's loss was also decided.
"Why are one or two so uncomfortable?" Chen Yin took a breath, bit the cork of the wine bottle and pulled it out hard, and then spit it into the sea casually.
The bitter drink ran down his throat, and looking at the calm sea in front of him, his mind couldn't help but go back to the night before, the night they escaped from the City of Light.
When Chen Yin woke up in the seawater, everything was over. Only the metal wreckage everywhere lay silently in the seawater, sinking and floating, as if they were silently telling everything that had happened before.
In Chen Yin's memory, he just revisited the previous battle with the tide rider Nepturon in the sea of souls from a "third-person" perspective. When Chen Yin saw countless "himself" standing up from the sea water and wielding his long sword to cut Nepturon into a ball of pure water, he naturally woke up.
I have no memory of the fact that the gold card automatically summoned Nepturon and rolled up a monstrous wave.
Just as Chen Yin was standing in the sea water in a daze, the crow fell on Chen Yin's shoulder with the golden card in his mouth.
"Nepturon summons Kagua, be careful not to disturb him if there is nothing special, these elemental ancient gods are not very good-tempered."
Chen Yin took the golden servant card from the crow's hand, and habitually used the real vision effect to check the attributes of this card. Unfortunately, for some reason, all the attributes he saw were question marks, somewhat similar to the changes in the true vision effect when Vittoria blocked off his snooping.
"What just happened? Those 'divine punishments'...... I can't have killed me, right? Chen Yin played with this golden card.
"Of course not you!" The crow looked at Chen Yin with disgust, "I really put gold on my face." ”
"Could it be you?"
"Hmph...... Of course not. Don't ask so much, let's get out of here, McCarthy guy finally coaxed that guy away...... If you don't leave, then you won't be able to hold out for long. Before it is debunked, let's get out of here. ”
"Who did McCarthy's daddy coax away? …… Wrong! Are you connected to Daddy McCarthy? Chen Yin suddenly noticed the problem in the crow's words, it stands to reason that the crow should not know McCarthy's father.
"Of course there is." The crow glanced at Chen Yin, "That person is the subordinate of the former contractor, after I entered this city, I felt that your uncle was coming, and when I woke up, I established a soul link with me as soon as I woke up......"
“…… You guy......" Chen Yin didn't know what to say, "don't tell me it's a coincidence?" ”
"Of course it's a coincidence, but even if you don't come, I'll let you come here in the end, but my plan is for you to come back after you tame Nepturon, I didn't expect you two to have some foresight, and it will save me time."
"Well, you also made this thing ...... you"
"Or else? The previous contractors had planned to use the Elemental Pool's ability to seal the Grey Mist, and one of the most crucial aspects was to find the Elemental Pool. Each planet has a different location for the elemental pool, and the previous contractor said that he had a large server that could be used to calculate the location of the elemental pool......"
"So, that's where the calculations are?" Chen Yin turned the star map upside down.
"No, it's in his head, it's just a backup here."
Chen Yin summoned a water elemental unicorn again, and the transparent unicorn stood directly on the water.
"In other words, the original contractor was a prophet?" Chen Yin patted the unicorn's neck and asked.
"Yes." The raven nodded.
Chen Yin jumped on the unicorn's back and asked, "What about me?" ”
"You are my nephew, hurry up and call uncle!" The crow squinted at him.
“…… No wonder Nepturon said I wasn't a contractor...... Drive! Chen Yin patted the water elemental unicorn's ass vigorously, and it carried Chen Yin on its back and ran on the water and ran towards the port.
There, the schooner was waiting for him outside the harbor.
……
"Hey! What do you think? ”
Chen Yin only felt that his shoulders sank, and then his hands were empty. You don't have to look back or even listen to the sound to know who's coming...... On this ship, only Vittoria would pat Chen Yin on the shoulder, and only she liked to rob Chen Yin's wine bottle.
Watching Vittoria drink his wine "crunch", he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Won't you open a bottle yourself......
"Hmph, Miss Ben doesn't think you're dirty, you should have just arrived!" Vittoria lifted her chin.
"Miss, I don't know how many thousand years old I am this year......" Chen Yin muttered quietly.
Vittoria's ears moved, and she looked at him with a gloomy face: "What did you just say?" Well? ”
An immortal "um" word, with a fiery anger, Chen Yin shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be fine: "I didn't say anything, complaining about the weather......"
"It's sunny today." Vittoria's expression darkened.
"yes, the light is so good, it's a little hot...... I'll go down below to cool off ......" Chen Yin saw that this posture was not good, and he was ready to apply oil to the soles of his feet with a haha in his mouth.
"I, hear, hear! You're still pretending!? Vittoria grabbed Chen Yin's ear, "Dare to say I'm an old monster!?" I ......"
"Wait...... Wait a minute! I didn't say it! I'm talking about...... Yes!! You ...... Yes!! Hey, I'm angry......"
“……”
Vittoria chased after Chen Yin angrily and beat him violently, and the noise between the two came far away......
In the room below the stern.
It used to be the captain's quarters, but now it has been requisitioned by the two ladies and has become their royal boudoir. Although the furnishings here have not changed much, after all, there is a hint of girlish flavor.
This room is the best on board, not only with a wide collection of expensive wines, but also with an oversized bed.
The porthole behind the tail building was open, and the noise of men and women outside faintly came, making the silver-haired girl who was sitting on the desk sigh slightly.
However, the confusion in the girl's eyes was only a fleeting moment, and then she continued to write and calculate on the paper with a quill pen, and from time to time she was still comparing things on the map.
"Bang."
The wooden door of the captain's room was kicked open, and the ponytail girl rushed in angrily, running two steps and rolling directly on the big bed.
"I'm! I'm! I'm!! Chen Yin, you nasty guy!! Running so fast! ”
Obviously, the war just now was lost by Vittoria.
"......" Angel's pen paused, and continued his work as if there was no such thing. For a moment, all that remained in the room was the sound of Vittoria rolling the sheets, as the tip of the pen rubbed against the papyrus.
"Hey, how did you and that guy meet?" Vittoria lay on the bed with her chin on her hands, her long hair was messy on the bed, her little face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was because of exercise or because of anger.
“…… In the Mogoth Empire. The silver-haired girl said without raising her head.
"Tower of Knowledge?" Vittoria asked with interest.
"Hmm."
"How did it feel to meet for the first time? Tell me about it? ”
“…… I didn't feel anything, I just thought it was a little weird. ”
Vittoria was obviously a little dissatisfied with Angel's words: "So bland? The first time I saw this guy, he was out of the orcs and ran up to me, asking me stupid questions...... Giggle......"
As if recalling Chen Yin's youthful, immature and super strange tone at that time, Vittoria couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her shoulders kept shaking.
After laughing enough, Vittoria continued to ask, "Why do you think he is strange?" ”
"Look, expression...... Also, in a frontier like the Mogoth Empire, few people generally have access to the Tower of Knowledge, and he is still wearing the uniform of a seminary. Only those who study are eligible to enter the Tower of Knowledge, but the seminaries of the Mogot Empire do not have the educational resources for research......"
"That's why you think it's weird? What a reason to be bored. Vittoria rolled over and said boredly as she lay on the bed.
"Yes." Angel raised his head and nodded seriously, "But that's not the only strange thing, but also the feeling of his own person...... I can't say it, but I always felt like he was standing there, as if he didn't fit in with the world......"
“…… Why are you so formal......" Vittoria was a little disappointed, but the look on her face became serious, "But what do you say...... If you think about it, that's true! Not to mention the first time I met him, even now he looks like he is dead......"
"......" Angel didn't say anything more and continued to be busy with the work in hand.
"It's boring, it's boring...... I'm bored to death......"
After Angel stopped talking, Vittoria was quiet for less than 2 minutes before she began to roll around wrapped in sheets.
Angel: "......"
"Rustling ......"
Vittoria: "......"
"Ahaha, you're really diligent...... What to write? Vittoria struggled to break the embarrassment.
“…… According to the data on the star chart, the pool of water elementals should be over here...... But no matter how I calculate the latitude and longitude, it seems to be a little off...... I don't know what the fault is, it's weird. ”
Angel said slowly, frowning and thinking.
A white quill was between her slender fingers, a strand of hair hanging down as she looked down, and Angel ruffled the strands with her other hand and pinned them behind her ear.
When she lowered her head, the slender and soft curve of her neck was completely displayed in front of Vittoria, with an indescribable bookish air.
“…… Intellectual ...... Beauty? Vittoria suddenly remembered a phrase she had learned from Chen Yin.
"What did you say?" Angel asked, looking up.
"No, nothing." Vittoria's usual momentum of giving up on others couldn't help but lag in front of the intellectual Angel, and her speech was a little stumbling.
"......" The silver-haired girl glanced at the ponytail girl strangely, and didn't say anything, just tilted her head and continued to study the coordinates on the map.
Vittoria was very uncomfortable with Angel's indifferent reaction, and always had a feeling that she didn't know how to answer.
After knocking on ......the door, Chen Yin's voice came from outside the door in time. Two young ladies, it's time to eat. Today there is fresh takoyaki! ”
"Takoyaki? What is that? Vittoria's eyes lit up, and she jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.
Angel looked at Vittoria's hot appearance, sighed softly, and after recording a few key numbers on the paper, she put away the paper, pen and tools on the table in the same way, leaving only the large map still on the table.
Angel, who had packed up his things, rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and whispered, "...... Call...... Be more frank! You can do it! Come on! ”
"Bang."
The door is closed.
In addition to the body fragrance of the two girls, the air was also filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
By the porthole, in a rough wooden vase, two flowers, one red and one white, bloomed delicately. The red is lively and a little noble, and the white is quiet and delicate with a lingering fragrance.
There was no competition, two flowers with completely different styles lay quietly in the arms of the vase, gently swaying up and down with the waves.
……
Inside the Holy Mountain.
Luke sat quietly on the Iron Throne.
His face was even more ugly than before, and his already old face seemed to have dozens of more wrinkles.
But in contrast to the aging exterior were Elder Luke's energetic eyes.
At this time, these eyes, which contained countless stories, were staring at the screen in front of him. On the screen, a gorgeously dressed man is constantly reporting something.
“…… Then Miranda said that the souls of those people were frozen...... That's the way it is, my great host. At the end of the debriefing, the richly dressed man bowed his head and made a deferential appearance waiting for Elder Luke's command.
"What do you think...... How much credibility are her words? Elder Luke thought for a moment and asked.
"I think the credibility of her words is more than 90%, of course, this depends on the family on the basis that her words are correct." The gorgeously dressed man said sleekly.
“…… Well, I see. ”
Elder Luke shut down the correspondence.
As the screen dimmed, Elder Luke fell into a long silence......
After some time, Elder Luke suddenly muttered, "That's the realm of the gods...... Oh, God ......"
