Section E: Chapter 20: The Sea of Mists (Dereno Amy)

The ship that had traveled from the continent of Nafrea to the continent of Carrolea, where the Permafrost was located, was almost at its destination after a few days of traveling.

The end of its route is the small town of Beihaiwang.

Among them, it carries Deernor, Dean, Tucker, Sam, Chiton, Amy, Big Eyes, and Jenna.

Some time ago, Edęa City sent mage troops to support the Permafrost. Two days ago, they should have arrived in Beihaiwang. And this new batch of reinforcements represents the Aidea Academy of Magic.

The sea is full of cold fog, and the salty sea breeze is extremely biting. In the morning, the sea temperature is especially low.

Almost everyone comes from a place of warm sun, and it is inevitable that they are afraid of the cold. Almost all of these people huddled in the cabin and didn't want to come out, only Derenor, a real tundra, and Amy, who was Aya, was not afraid of the cold and chose to go to the deck to get some air.

Although Big Eyes was awake, he rarely didn't follow Amy out because he was afraid of the cold. He wears a nightcap and wraps himself in a ball (as if the Eye Demon was a ball) and floats on the ceiling above Curator Leo's head, listlessly drinking hot cocoa that the Curator has made with magic.

There are quite a few people playing the traveler card. From time to time, you can hear the lament of losing a hand.

Everyone leaned against the blazing fire to keep warm and wore warm clothes. Most of them are dressed in clothes made of frozen cotton, so they don't look so cumbersome: however, some people in colder regions choose to wear more. Heavy clothing, after all, can help defend against friction and light cutting attacks.

...... and the striking of blunt instruments. In this respect, it is better than plate armor to some extent.

Although the city of Edéa was devastated after the war, it recovered quite quickly. Among them, the assistance of the Boer Empire was inextricably linked. If Deerno had seen the post-war tragedy of Beihaiwang Town before, most of them would compare it, and they couldn't tell which was worse. However, Edıa City is more densely populated, so the civilian casualties, although greatly contained, are still very painful.

The ship carried a dozen mages and demon warriors, as well as several magical mechs and dozens of arcane armor: the magic city, most of which were enchanted and gave consciousness armor as basic infantry units. The guard ratio of the Mage Academy is more inclined to these construct units: basically magical mechs, arcane armor and so on.

Of course, arcane armor can't compare to soul-attached armor like Iron Knight York. The mass-produced Arcane armor has just enough IQ and combat effectiveness. It can't compare to a magical mecha. However, the exception to this is captain-level Arcane armor.

Naturally, the cost will be much higher. The overall quality required to be able to command a squad must not be bad.

Since this ship is mainly based on military support, then in contrast, it does not carry a lot of supplies. At the same time, the ship is not very big, so it can only be said that these people are not so crowded.

Many people choose to drink hot drinks to refresh themselves. The mainstream options are generally hot rum, coffee, or hot cocoa.

The basic person has a cup in his hand. You know, when everyone is drinking, even if you're not that interested, you're susceptible to the atmosphere and want to have a drink. It's like yawning is contagious, not an illusion.

A heretic asked the curator to make a cup of hot milk at this point, but was immediately denied. Because hot milk is not nutritious at all.

"This thing can only be drunk cold! It should be drunk hot, do you think this is milk tea?" Leo coughed and made his position clear: "If you want, I can also add some ice to you." ”

"You want to kill me cold!" the heretic immediately excused himself in fear: "Forget it, give me cocoa! ”

"Yes. In the cold, Coco is still good...... Warm the heart and warm the stomach. Hearing him say this, Leo expressed his satisfaction, and muttered as he cast a spell: "Coco...... This stuff with a little salt - not much, a pinch is enough. When you add it, the texture is smoother and the flavor is richer. The slightly salty taste can bring out the rich burnt aroma and slightly bitter ......"

Leo accidentally began to mumble. This embarrassed the man who was waiting to drink the cocoa, and he was embarrassed to interrupt him like that.

Unexpectedly, the curator became so interested, and began to talk endlessly, with the intention of not wanting to stop.

He has a knack for making drinks. This old man always wanted to share his knowledge with others.

In the eyes of many, it was surprising that Deenor could endure his nagging. But in reality, if you have listened to his nagging, it will not be easy for him to say it again next time.

The old man is not forgetful.

On deck, Deerno felt the cold of the tundra and breathed a sigh of relief. He was looking forward to the grand occasion of the Frost Festival tomorrow, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

Tomorrow will be in time for the Frost Festival! I will probably be able to go to the North Sea tonight, and then I will be able to report back to Neverwinter the next day...... Although it is a pity that I can't participate in the celebration of Beihaiwang, the festive atmosphere of Neverwinter City is not inferior in the slightest.

Curator Leo and the Fifth Scout Team are to go to Neverwinter with Denor, while the others are to go to the North Sea Watch Outpost, which the Children of Ice and the Children of Frost have jointly rebuilt.

Amy stood at the bow of the boat, while Deenor leaned on the fence next to the boat, staring at the distant island looming in the fog.

"The sea here is so foggy. Amy, who was so petite as if she would be blown away by a gust of wind, looked around and seemed to be breathing comfortably in the cold wind: "It always feels like something is hiding in it and rushing out at any time." ”

"This ...... This one...... Not to mention, it's really possible. Hearing Aya say this, Deerno couldn't help but get nervous: "It's completely possible that tentacles suddenly emerge from under the bottom of the sea or something." ”

"Wow...... Is the sea that deep?" Unlike Denor, who was frightened by herself, Amy was not scared at all. She leaned on the bow of the boat and looked down curiously: "If there is an abyss down here, it will indeed be very dangerous. ”

The word abyss, if used as a separate reference, refers to the "dark abyss" at the base of the World Tree.

But when used as a common noun, it can be an abyss under the sea, a Longinur abyss, or something like that.

"I'm not joking...... This sea area can really be full of dangers. It's not so much about pirates and disorienting snow fog, it's about what might be hidden in the fog. Deerno took a serious deep breath, feeling the refreshment of the cold air coming out of his throat: "Two years ago, someone was attacked by monsters here. According to survivors, the hull of the ship was entangled in tentacles, and a huge creature could be seen lurking beneath the surface. ”
