Section A: Chapter 42: Destroying Success (Vicor)
"Look, it's done. Tying the rope perfectly to the harpoon, Odys took it in his hand and raised it with a serious face: "Then, you can tie that bottle of liquid fire to the bottom of the rope." ”
"Huh?" Vicol stammered, "What's that......?" What does this mean?"
"That is, we poke our harpoons under the water and then we put the jars on the bottom of the sea by rope. Pointing to the hemp rope in his hand, Odysse confidently proposed: "Don't worry, young man." The rope was thirty meters long, which must be long enough. ”
"W-That's not a problem, is it?" Still not understanding the Legion's thoughts, the snow crow asked dryly, "Even if it is put to the bottom of the sea, then what?"
"Then you jump into the sea and are in charge of directing the direction of the ship. And I held the harpoon tightly to make sure the rope was stable. Relying on the force of the ship should be enough for the thing to shatter when it hits the device. After a rough gesture with both hands to the scene of the collision between the two, Odys's tone became more and more confident: "How's that, Snow Crow? ”
"And if you're worried about my boating skills, you can go get a big rock for backup. Lowering the oars, the rowing soldier turned to look at Vicor: "Then you can sink it down and smash the liquid fire." ”
"This ...... Neither is it. Sighing, Vicol suddenly felt that there might be a play: "It's okay." There are no waves today, and the rope that goes into the water will not be shaken around. Let's try it first. ”
Anyway, there was no hope of success, so it was better to believe in this plan once. And it sounds so reliable.
"Okay, let's try it...... Huh?" Just as Vicol agreed to the plan and turned around to say something, Odyssey had already tied the bottle of liquid fire knot firmly to the end of the rope, and at the same time tied a dead button that looked like a bow.
You're too fast, didn't you have my consent at all...... Looking at Odys's serious expression, Vicol was embarrassed to perceive the other party's subtext: I knew you would definitely agree, so I did it in advance.
Why、Why is it a bow full of girlish feelings? It's disgusting!
Could it be that I am mistaken? This is not actually a bow? But no matter how you look at it, it is easy to make people think crookedly! Could it be that Uncle Odys's rugged appearance hides a delicate girl's heart that is extremely incommensurate with it......
I don't know if I'm thinking too much or thinking too much, Snow Crow only feels a great stimulus: it seems that he was staring at my abs before, this guy can't be a, right?
Probably not, I heard that he wants to get married after he can't do it...... I remember yelling before the public: "When this battle is over, I will retire and get married." It really made a group of women excited.
But people always change. This change can also develop towards metamorphosis.
"What's the matter, Vicol, what are you hesitating about?" Seeing that the snow crow was in a daze, Odys reached out and patted Vicol's shoulder, but the latter was startled: "Ah, no, nothing. ”
So to avoid embarrassment, Vicol jumped off the boat after checking that the rope was indeed tied, and swam a little away. Moments later, the long rope was thrown down at an astonishing speed and sank straight to the bottom of the sea.
Because of the buoyancy and the additional control of the rope length, it should not break the bottle...... After diving a little, Vicol looked at the bottle that was still about three meters from the bottom, and put his mind at ease: it was not far from the pillar, and it would be good to roughly fine-tune it.
However, it was this "fine-tuning" that made Vicol constantly repeat the actions of diving and ascending for the next ten minutes, and he was extremely tired. He longed to push the boat himself, but sadly found that he couldn't push it at all.
Damn, why is it so difficult? Seeing the underwater bottle getting closer and closer to the target, but it just couldn't hit it, Vicol was anxious: he understood what it was like to hate iron but not steel.
Do you really have to sail back to shore and get a rock? Is it so complicated? It's only a close idea of hitting it! Why can't you do it?
"A little further left!" "A little further left!" the moment Vicor came to the surface and shouted this hoarsely, the rope dangling on the surface of the water suddenly rippled unnaturally: it was obvious that the jar had hit something.
Hit...... The metal pillar?!!!
In the next moment, a green demonic fire glowed from beneath the surface of the sea. Hurriedly diving to the bottom of the sea and opening his eyes, Vicol was shocked by the scene before him: a green flame spread at high speed from the broken bottle, and in an instant, it ignited the surrounding sea water for several meters. The pillar of black smoke was engulfed in flames and melted into molten iron in an instant.
Even though he was more than twenty meters away from the range of the bright flames, Vicol still felt the hot touch: the sea water around him was heating up rapidly, as if it was about to cook him alive.
Unable to say whether to admire or fear, Vicol instantly understood its high price: I can't imagine how these alchemists made them?
Presumably, many researchers and laboratories have been burned to the ground. It is no wonder that some places strictly prohibit the import of liquid fire.
After swimming to the surface and waiting on the boat for a while, Vicol did not jump back into the hot sea until the glow of the magic fire was almost gone. To his astonishment, the pillar had been completely turned into liquid and sunk into the sand. A large area of black ice that was originally covered by the seabed around has been burned to the ground, and there is no wreckage left.
Looking around in shock, the snow crow paddled in the water and was pleasantly surprised to find one thing: not only the black ice on the bottom of the sea was burned out, but the black ice that had not been touched by other flames was gradually disappearing.
Sure enough, it's a device that maintains the existence of black ice...... My conjecture was valid!Excitedly surfacing as Vicol aloud told them what he had discovered. The two people on the boat were extremely excited, especially Odyss, who almost knocked the boat over.
Suddenly feeling a little weak all over his body, Vicol climbed onto the boat with the help of the soldiers, and roared excitedly.
A scrawny old man dressed in black and on crutches disappeared to the top of the lighthouse. Before his form dissipated, he pointed his staff at Vicol, shooting a near-transparent light.
A faint black rune erupted from the back of the crow's neck for a split second, and then seeped into the flesh as if nothing had happened. Since everyone in the small boat had their backs to the large ship that had arrived to meet them, no one noticed the anomaly.
(Molu PS: Is it about to take the college entrance examination...... As a buddy who has been here for the time being, cheer up for the book friends! There are only a few days left, everyone has to adjust their mentality :-D)
