The slippery deck topped with icy waters, and skilled sailors held bristle brushes with swift movements, cleaning away the traces of a large amount of fish. The adventurers brought in several barrels and placed the bed boards on them to serve as a dining table, and a dozen wooden basins filled with fresh seafood were seated in turn, but the most pleasing was a glass of ale soaked in green orange slices.

Sweet krill can be eaten raw in large quantities, so the simple stove puts down the large iron pot, ignites it with the fragments and sawdust left over from the damaged parts of the Penguin, pours the fresh water with the smell of alcohol into half full, boils it slightly, and throws all kinds of seafood in the net pocket, and it doesn't take long for the steaming boiled seafood to attract many people.

"Order! order!" Seeing the chaotic scene, Martin Opry couldn't help but shout loudly, but this time the old captain and Aldrich Triss did not stand up to show their support, and as for the use of a dozen city guard halberds to suppress it, they were not at all powerless.

"Forget it, the children like to be lively, just let them be crazy enough, the customs of the sea are not more elaborate than those on land, and the dinner party is not so exquisite, aren't you tired?" said Buckner, one-eyed, and glanced sideways at the Fourth Horseman.

"I don't give alcohol to drink, I can't make a bad fuss about borrowing drunkenness and fighting, and I don't care about anything else. Aldrich left the helmsman's position and descended the stairs to the deck to join the people.

The hot soup of all kinds of seafood, the fragrance of which tickled the worms in his stomach, picked up a clean wooden bowl from the table, scooped the ground half full with a copper spoon, blew a few times, took a sip and tasted, and nodded with satisfaction.

Phils Bargan, like his shadow, appeared beside Triss just in time, glanced at the Knights of the Commandment, and suddenly remembered the Penguin's talisman Granar.

After serving a pot of seafood soup with a brass spoon, picking up a bag of cooked octopus, and exchanging a few words with Phils Bargan, Aldrich left the deck and headed to the bow alone.

Seeing an old-looking adventurer guarding the Storm Knight, Tris nodded in satisfaction and made a changing of the guard gesture to let the cell boss, who was hungry for a feast on the deck and frequently craned his neck to enjoy the Penguin's revelry.

The paralyzing toxin of the chicken heart snail has long been eliminated by Granal's extraordinary physique, and his hands and feet can move normally and freely, but unfortunately the iron chain is bound and unable to stretch, and he is somewhat angry after being humiliated.

"Haha, it's a nice day!" the routine, informative opening remarks went unanswered, but Aldrich raised the iron kettle and mesh bag in his hand disapprovingly.

"I guess you're hungry too, see what I brought you?" he shook the iron kettle in his left hand, and there was a rippling sound of soup in it, "Seafood soup, it tastes good." Of course, it certainly can't be compared to the feast of the three royal families of Beihai, but at the moment, we are in a good situation to have this. ”

Then Terries lifted the mesh bag full of cooked seafood, "And these hearty meals are estimated to be enough for your day." ”

The Storm Knight quickly turned his head, he didn't look at the pig-like thing at all, his eyes unconsciously tilted to the sky covered by the night, and he was a little anxious: "The eagle whistle has already blown, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" ”

Aldrich sighed, understanding the sneer and disdainful look on the corner of Granal's mouth, "I saved you from being seriously injured and on the verge of life and death, even if the thunder hammer can completely restore your body, the loss is very large, not only mental, according to my calculations, you should be hungry, hungry to eat a cow, isn't that so?"

As soon as the words of consolation were finished, Storm Knight was just about to organize his words to prepare a rebuttal, when his stomach made a thunderous sound, and such a serious protest made Granal's words swallow back automatically, and no matter how thick his skin was, a large flush rose on his face.

"Give it to me! ”

No ridicule, no sarcasm, Aldrich flicked his left thumb, opened the top of the iron kettle, and brought it to the mouth of the Storm Knight, he just tasted it, and his brows twisted into a beautiful ball, but he couldn't take back what he said just now, so he could only barely suppress his dissatisfaction, and gulped down the tasteless seafood soup.

The hot current poured into the empty stomach, and Granar shivered all over his body after being blown by the cold and biting sea breeze for most of the day, and the cold suddenly emanated from all parts of his body, and then his eyes were aimed at the mesh bag in Tris's right hand.

"I can't untie your chains to be on the safe side, so let me serve you to eat. Aldrich placed the kettle on the deck, pushed back the lid to prevent the heat from escaping, and then untied the tether of the mesh bag, ready to reach in and grab it.

Seeing this, the Storm Knight was a little angry: "How can you humiliate me like this?

"Don't use your hands, do you use your mouth!" Tris gave him a blank look, "You don't have the same habit as the Southern Manor Lord who is keen to eat the cherries that the corolla maiden slave picks with his mouth, right?"

Granal snorted coldly and shot back unceremoniously: "Don't be vexatious, Your Excellency Knight, and have some respect for me." We are all nobles, did your knowledge of etiquette be taught to you by vulgar mercenaries?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Storm Knight, I almost forgot your honorable status, but for the sake of safety, I can't give your hands to move freely, it's too dangerous to do so, it's risking my life and the entire crew of the Penguin. Why don't you do it?"

Aldrich opened the net bag with both hands and respectfully brought it to Granal's mouth, knowing that he could not convince the knight with a rock-like cold heart, he could only bow his head in humiliation and crane his neck in search of his favorite seafood.

The blue-ringed octopus, which turned white after cooking, lost its bright color, and he didn't notice it, so he sipped a tentacle on his tongue and immediately chewed it vigorously, and then ate two starfish with thick flesh, and a dozen krill chewed and forcibly swallowed it with meat in their shells.

"Hunger is the best seasoning!, Honorable Granal, do you need me to fetch you another bag of seafood?"

Storm Knight shook his head slightly, "That's enough! this tasteless food is at best a filling for hard times, and I don't need it." ”

"But you just ate it deliciously. Triss responded with a sniper, which made Granal very embarrassed, so he could only turn his head and ignore it.

Then the Storm Knight turned his head: "I really don't understand! Why would Thunderhammer choose someone like you, not only does he not have the blood of the gods of Odin, but his moral character is also quite bad, but his qualifications and strength are considerable. ”

Aldrich put down the empty mesh bag, "Since you are interested in bringing up this topic, I would also like to have a long talk with you about my gains on Levotin Island." ”

"Say, I've cleared my messy thoughts and let go of superfluous emotions so as not to interfere with my normal thoughts. ”

Tris saw the serious Granar, smiled heartily, and nodded vigorously: "This magical island is full of traces of wars between transcendents, and I estimate that there is a high probability that it is a legacy of the old times, but it has been well concealed and not discovered by you. Don't try to lie, I can easily deduce the truth using counter-evidence. ”

The Storm Knight had a look on his face that I wouldn't give you a chance even if he boasted, but for this knight who could carry the thunder hammer, he was a little uncertain, so he nodded without saying a word, and did not give any extra clues.

"It's not been long since you discovered this island, it's estimated that it's only about a year, and it's really sad, there are surprisingly few people who can become Storm Knights, but after a long time, sooner or later you will discover the method of mass production. ”

Granal did a good job of concealing his true feelings, and asked quietly and rhetorically: "Why do you want to take the opportunity to interrogate me?" ”

"Alright, well, now that you're aware of my intentions, let's get our conversation on track. Aldrich looked up at the starry night sky, "I have read the relevant documents, the sky in the old days, the stars were bright at night, and the stars were as vast as the sea. The owner of the Thunder Hammer, the Thunder King of the Odin God Line, must be one of the most dazzling constellations in the Polaris Domain. ”

Hearing this, Storm Knight's face suddenly turned solemn, even if he knew that Tris was purposefully talking, for the sake of his beliefs, the glory of the ancestral god, he could only nod his head in agreement.

"The gods disappeared for no apparent reason, no longer answering the prayers of the faithful, as if a terrible catastrophe had struck overnight, and all the gods disappeared en masse. But is there really no warning at all beforehand? After experiencing the three god wars of dusk, sighing, and sorrow, not only destroying the giant gods, but also annexing two regional god systems one after another, becoming a powerful group of gods in the West continent second only to the Opas god system, the father of all beings entrenched on the supreme throne, and the goddess who is in charge of the fate of mortals really did not foresee the catastrophe coming?"

Without waiting for Granal's answer, Aldrich said to himself: "All these questions, I saw that the hammer of Thor left in the mortal world has been answered. ”

Storm Knight remembered the speculation circulating within the Elder Sacrifice Order, and nodded lightly in agreement: "An irresistible force of fate that even the immortal gods cannot reverse, but they have made some arrangements in advance, so Thor's hammer has fallen into your hands. By the way, where did you hide him? Not on Levotine Island, it's unbelievable that you took away an artifact that couldn't bring out of the thundercloud storm. ”

"Well, is there anyone else but me who can move the Thunderhammer? Definitely not you, could it be someone from one of the other Storm Knights?" Tris glanced at Granal curiously.

But Storm Knight had a nonchalant look on his face, and even Aldrich couldn't tell if he had done it intentionally or unintentionally. After thinking about it and not coming to a definite conclusion, Tris himself skipped it and went on to talk about his "gains".

"At first, I couldn't afford to carry the Thunderhammer, but you're sure to notice some signs, but I went one step faster and almost killed you with this artifact. Even though I used His rebirth realm to revive you, the aftermath was so severe that even your spirit and will were shattered. ”

Granal sighed and couldn't help nodding: "My life is like a dragon warship sailing on the rough sea, leaving the port and sailing out to sea, along the way with the current, the wind is also favorable, and it should have sailed smoothly until the end of the world, arriving in Valhalla in Asgard, and being entertained at Odin's Sleep......"

"It's rare to capsize in the gutter, and just one time to knock you down, so it's not so, right?" Aldrich couldn't help but stab him.

"Give me back Thor's hammer and tell me how to use it, and I'll be resurrected completely, will you? Will you?" Storm Knight struggled to "pounce" on Tris, despite the chains, only to make the chains tremble and rattle, but nothing changed.

"Don't be tempted by foolish words, does the agitation work for someone like me?" Aldrich pressed his hand to Granal's chest, calming his overly contrived anger.

"I can't hide it from you!Sure enough, he was chosen by Thunderhammer, but unfortunately he didn't have the blood of the Odin gods in his body, so he couldn't wake up and have the power of the storm. ”

Tris smiled and grabbed the two pieces of broken wood, originally one, only to be broken by the Harolds' javelins, and he aimed the jagged cracks at the repair technique of Master Felix, a follower of the Way of the Oak.

The zigzag crack vanished as fast as the eye could see, and the plank that had reintegrated into one made Storm Knight dislocate his jaw in surprise until Aldrich helped him reattach it.

"You...... You actually possess divine magic?" Granal was frightened, and even the Elder Sacrifice Order, who still believed in the gods of Odin devoutly, no one had obtained divine magic again.

Aldridge put down the restored plank, "Not what you think!" He didn't want to deceive people with words, but the other party was assertive and very stubborn, obviously not believing his words, and his face was full of ridiculous expressions of "I have discovered your secret".

Tris shook his head slightly, and couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart: "Who said that smart people are not easy to deceive! Give the truth, as long as it is slightly distorted, he will open his mind to convince himself." ”

Accidentally succeeding in leading the other party into the gutter without realizing it, Aldrich was about to end the conversation when he suddenly remembered the eagle's cry he had heard not long ago, and somewhat understood the reason why the Storm Knight was so calm and relaxed to endure the humiliating captivity.

Without saying a word, he removed the dagger from the scabbard that was tied to his belt to remove the arrowhead barbed from the wounded in the bilge, and slashed at Granal's neck.

I don't know why the knight who has always been polite to him made a move against him, but the unmurderous move made the storm knight a little puzzled, but he soon knew Aldrich's intentions.

"Woo ......"

The sharp and poignant eagle cry, the eagle hovering over the warship Penguin, Granal's face changed instantly, and then he saw his partner who had been with him for many months rushing down sharply, obviously to save people.

Withdrawing his knife and turning to avoid the talons, the unrivaled power of the bear burst out between breaths, knocking the large bird of prey down on the spot.

Storm Knight's face turned white in an instant, and he knew that he had been tricked by the hateful knight in front of him from beginning to end.
