Chapter 80
Oba sighed with some shame and continued:
"Ten years ago, the Wizards' Guild suddenly set up a mission here, that is, there is an island near Whale Harbor that has the remaining treasure of the Elven Empire: the Jade of Perpetual Motion. It is said that this gem can provide unlimited power to the magic device, and many adventurers who acted on their own have flocked to the sea to the mercenary team at that time, and even fishermen and merchant ships have joined the search, but nothing has been found, and if it were not for the credibility of the Wizards' Association, everyone would even think that this thing is a scam. ”
This story is told in Oba's mouth very wonderfully, even the girl who is busy with housework in the house, Phil, is attracted out, and the savage sees the effect of his story and is in good spirits, and no matter what life or death moment, he drinks and continues:
A year later, a fisherman who went out to sea on a foggy day encountered a maelstrom, and when the fisherman was dying, he saw an island rising in the whirlpool, and although there was fog, he also saw a figure walking on the island, and then the fisherman was thrown out of the whirlpool, and when he returned to Whale Harbor, the frightened fisherman told others about it, and the magicians determined that the island in the whirlpool was the eye of the storm. ”
"Got the way this island appeared, many large mercenary guilds and adventurer teams were gearing up to try their luck in the fog, but none of them came back, the ships that transported them even saw them enter the island in the whirlpool, but then there was no news, and no one knew what was going on on there. ”
"Until the Wizards' Guild and the Temple of War jointly put out a team. Many of the elites were gathered and landed on the island, but, like the previous teams, they entered without saying a word, and the ships that transported them waited at sea for two days without any reply. ”
"Until a year ago. It was only in Drew's Wizard Tower that the news came out that there was a magician who returned to the Wizard's Tower by teleporting the scroll, but he was already frightened crazy, and he struggled to say the word "big demon" until he died, and all the people never dared to explore that island again, and it is said that it was guarded by the demon king from the abyss. ”
The story of the barbarians is very wonderful, and these people are fascinated by it. But then I thought that Hui Gang had signed this contract, and it was in the memory of the monk's previous body owner. The kind of contract is the most serious existence, and it is impossible to repent after signing it, and it is usually used in the Chamber of Commerce and the bank for large amounts of money, and some transactions that must be sworn to the death.
Not everyone felt excited, and the girl Fei'er immediately became worried when she heard that this place was so dangerous. The monk had already seen the girl's expression in his eyes, and before Fei'er could speak, he spoke:
"Although it's talking about the Longtan Tiger's Den. But after all, it's a legend, and I'm going to see it. ”
The samurai Galinda and the barbarian Oba looked at each other for a moment, both grateful and ashamed. I knew that what the monk said was to boost morale, but those young people naturally didn't know that they were all excited. Fei'er also vaguely knew something, although she didn't say anything, but her face was worried.
This passed in everyone's heavy minds until the next day. The orphanage was cleaned up by the people sent by Breta, and a large number of supplies were delivered. The hooligans and ruffians who often came to make trouble were sternly warned not to make trouble, and so on.
For a time, in this poor town, everyone praised the old man of Bretta as a good man. The monk learned from Steven that although the Bretta family was well-known in the underworld, they were still known for their philanthropy in Whale Harbor, and that slave traders were a legitimate business in the Duchy of Land.
The monk basically stayed in the courtyard for the past few days, but often went to the city gate to wait and see, and calculated the time, Henry and Morton should also come, but never waited.
The female samurai has been busy in the orphanage these days. Back in the yard that day, now those young people are doing their best in the orphanage, leaving only the girl and the little winged lion there, Galinda did not alarm anything, and quietly came to the kitchen, it turned out that every time it was time to prepare three meals, Fei'er always hummed a song, and was happily busy there, but when the samurai Galinda came to the kitchen, she saw that the girl was staying there.
Steel Rose Galinda walked over and asked the girl softly:
"What's wrong, Fei'er?"
As soon as the girl looked up and saw Galinda coming to her ground, she blinked desperately and tried to suppress her tears, but she couldn't control it at all, and she said with a slight sob:
"Brother Huigang is going out in a few days, that thing is too dangerous, I'm worried about ......"
Before the words were finished, she couldn't control herself, hiding her face and sobbing, the female warrior Galinda is nearly forty years old this year, and although she has been alone with the girl for less than a month, she vaguely regards Fei'er as her daughter in her heart. Seeing Fei'er so sad, he felt pity in his heart, and Huigang's adventure itself was to protect them. For a while, Chen didn't know what to say, just stroked the girl's head with his hand.
At this time, it is already the rainy season in Whale Harbor, and anyone with a little meteorological knowledge who sees the double moon rising at night and is surrounded by beautiful colored halos knows that this indicates that there will be fog the next day.
It had been a few days since he had seen the second steward of the slave traders, and Ari, who had called himself a slave trader, had come to this courtyard, and this time he did not have the polite words of the last time he came, and only said one order:
"Tomorrow out"
The monk wanted to explain to Fei'er, but he realized that he had nothing to say, and he was afraid that saying this would make the girl worry, so he simply meditated there and calmed her mind.
Fei'er also hid in the room and refused to come out, the girl was afraid that her worries would make Huigang worry in her heart, and she was also depressed in her stomach, but this night was not quiet, and when the monk was in his meditation, he vaguely heard the dispute between Galinda and O'Balang.
Early the next morning, the monk arrived at the private dock in Bretta, where the old slave trader was waiting for him, and the sea was full of fog, and his vision could only reach a few yards.
Old Bretta stood in the wet and cold sea fog, only the magician was guarding, and the remaining warriors didn't know where to go, and when he saw the monk stepping down from the carriage, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the initiative to greet him, saying:
"Mr. Fleet, please go this way. ”
Hui Gang's eyesight was naturally much sharper now that his true qi and holy power were at their peak, and the sea fog basically did not hinder him, but the monk felt that the figure of Bretta's rickety standing in the sea fog was a little blurry, like an illusion and an entity.
The monk shook his head, but his eyes were a little dazzled, and Bretta didn't pay attention to his little action, looked at the monk and came over, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Huigang, you are really punctual. ”
The monk replied coldly:
"Or call the poor monk Huigang, or call it Flit, please don't change it like this. ”
The old slave trader was not angry at all, and was about to continue to say something with a smile, when a person appeared in the sea fog, looking at the clothes and dressed as the slave merchant's guard, and said a few words in Breta's ear, Bretta was very surprised to hear this, glanced at the periphery, and the monk was guessing, when the old man smiled and said:
"Mr. Huigang, you will have a companion in this operation. ”
The figure of the steel rose Galinda emerged from the sea mist, still covered in steel armor, nodded at the monk, and then said firmly:
"I'll go with you. ”
The slave trader laughed out loud and said in unison:
"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, the steel rose, who has always been calm, actually has such a bloody side. ”
The samurai Galinda's expression returned to her usual calmness, and Bretta replied lightly:
"I guess your purpose this time was to tell me to go, so I'm here. ”
Hui Gang didn't want to say anything, nodded at Galinda, and the two of them walked down the dock together, Bretta didn't care about the female warrior's robbery, and still said kindly:
"It's Stan who is going with you this time, and he'll tell you about it."
What was prepared for them was a small boat, and there was a sailor sitting quietly on the boat, Hui Gang's keen eyesight saw the face of this sailor clearly, his hands were protruding on his cheeks, there were faint cracks, and there were small scales on his neck, which looked like a fish, and he knew from the monk's eyes that he also belonged to a kind of intelligent race, called merman, who could live in water and also live on 6 places.
But the samurai Galinda was not surprised, and in this port city, it was commonplace for mermaids to work as sailors.
The merman didn't say much, but motioned for them to sit down, and then went to the shore to untie the cable, swing the oars, and slowly drive the boat, and the sea fog was so thick in the early morning that it was unusually heavy. The shore could no longer be seen clearly, and Breta's voice came through the thick fog:
"I'll take care of those kids. ”
The voice with a smile faintly came from the fog, and Hui Gang knew in his heart that this was the other party telling him that there were still hostages in the hands of the other party, and Galinda over there also understood this meaning, but the anger in his chest had nowhere to vent, and the boat was still walking unhurriedly at this time.
