The cabin where Reinhardt once stayed was in a nondescript corner of the second deck. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Ai Zheqin had already ordered the members of the two groups of trial groups to search the cabin, it had only been more than half an hour since they boarded the ship, and they had too much preparation to do, so they could only choose those more important places to search, and the crew rest cabin located on the second floor was obviously not among them.

At this moment, standing in front of the door of this frost-covered cabin, Ai Zheqin, an aristocratic magician who had already begun to take on the bearing of a leader and had always behaved indifferently, was holding the fingers of the letter paper and his stomach was faintly white.

This letter paper is a heraldic rice paper for engraving inscriptions, with neat and dense words on it instead of runes, these words are not written in ink, but are etched by elements, with Ai Zheqin's experience and identity, he can easily know what it is used for - magicians above the intermediate level, as long as they have practiced the corresponding messenger magic, they can use the heraldic rice paper prepared in advance to achieve short-distance information transmission, and the text content on the paper is the embodiment of the information they send from a distance.

Here's what it reads on heraldic rice paper:

"At 5:3 p.m., we were continuing to move north, and the light was so strange that Samen and I had a bad feeling. ”

"At 5:37 p.m., oh my God, it's the eye of the storm, it's moving in the direction we're coming from, be ready for the storm, it'll arrive in about two hours. We knew that the sea would not always be completely windless, and that a brief lull was always a prelude to a storm, but fortunately our hull was large enough that the storm was not enough to pose any threat. ”

"At 5:56 p.m., we saw the source of the light, and in the eye of the storm, it was a mirage, which was exactly what we had guessed before we set out, and now we were going to make a fortune. Samen and I will keep an eye on it, captain, and you had better tell the sailors to move the boat with their oars, and to get as close as possible to the north at 11 o'clock, and when the storm has passed, we will begin our fishing operation. ”

"18:17; ”

"18:21 p.m., it's the Sea Clan, damn it, it's a wilderness for them! This mirage isn't wild at all, it's been domesticated by the Sea Clan, it's a trap!"

"At 6:22 p.m., Sammen was attacked and was dead, and I was hurrying back, leaving me five men and a dinghy, while the others quickly abandoned their ships and headed for the islands to the south. We don't have magic power on our ship, and when the storm comes, we'll all be doomed!"

"18:31; ”

This is the end of the contents on the heraldic rice paper, and the bottom is a blank space.

Obviously, this letter is the "clue" that Edgechen has been looking for. The final trial given by St. Peter's College is never a fight without a head or tail, but a world of its own, and even often has a complete event and plot, which can be said to be the essence of the entire trial, and this commercial and fishing dual-purpose ship adrift on the sea is empty, and there must be a reason why there are no other creatures except the trialists.

However, as soon as he arrived at the ship, Ai Zheqin sent a trial team to search the command room, captain's room, cargo hold, and other key locations, and then checked most of the ship's cabins, but did not find any valuable information. In fact, it was not completely absent - there was hardly any valuable cargo on the ship, and there were no lifeboats left, apparently the crew had evacuated in a hurry, but this vague discovery alone would not have yielded any accurate and useful information, such as the southern islands as a retreat from this magical letter.

Therefore, the strategy chosen by Ezegchen was to organize an attack, and all the trialists on the ship did so.

And such a letter carrying important clues obviously does not appear in the almost most inconspicuous corners of this ship from the very beginning, and it should appear in the control room at the most. The situation was clear, and Reinhardt got it, but did not make any indications, and chose to leave alone, leaving everyone on the ship.

Ai Zheqin's face was very ugly, but gradually, a smile appeared.

"You shouldn't have left it, idiot. ”

He said in a voice that only he could hear.

A few minutes later, in front of the retreating third deck.

"What do you think of this letter, Chai Linsell? I think this is a good opportunity, once this matter is truthfully announced, even if this noble prince is not discredited, I am afraid that he will not be trusted in the days to come. ”

"That's true. ”

Challinsell handed the letter back to Ezeichen, and his tone changed: "But Mr. Ezchen, you must consider the possibility that this prince was intentional, why did he leave such an important thing instead of taking it away? ”

"If he was the guy I'm talking about, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing, like sticking his neck under his opponent's knife. ”

"It's up to you. ”

"You know, I'm not the kind of person who can be intimidated by pretenses, so when an opportunity is presented to me, I just don't hesitate to take it, just like now. ”

"So, Mr. Ezchen, since the clue mentions the southern archipelago, should we evacuate?"

"Now that we are surrounded by the Sea Clan, it is impossible for us to evacuate them all. ”

"That means ......"

"Sooner or later, we will be depleted on this ship, and even if we have to face huge casualties, we must evacuate. It's not too late, everyone retreats to the deck, and the account doesn't settle on us anyway. ”

"Okay. ”

......

The Trials were very efficient, and after learning of Prince Reinhardt's actions and the way out mentioned on the heraldic rice paper, most of them were angry and at the same time, they also evacuated to the stormy deck in an orderly manner, leaving only a few of the queens to prevent the gray fish people under the cabin from rushing up. After the Trial Regiment gave up resistance, the third and second decks were lost in an instant, and the speed of the ship's sinking was noticeably faster.

The deck was full of seawater—pale red water mixed with a lot of gray fish-man blood.

The sky had become as dark as night because of the dark clouds, and in the dim light that was unusually oppressive, less than twenty minutes had passed, and the deck of the ship had become a pure Shura field. Unlike the Trialists, these monsters created by the Trials Space do not turn away when they die, so their corpses, scattered scales, shells, and weapons can be found everywhere.

There are not many non-trial group members who are still fighting, the original fifty or sixty people have been lost more than half, and those who are left are experienced and nimble-minded guys, they have found the favorable terrain on the ship, and use this advantage to release magic in groups, those gray fish people who are constantly sprayed up by the water column are blown to pieces as soon as they come ashore, and they can't resist at all.

"Stop, everybody!"

Ai Zheqin casually killed the gray fish man who had been struggling on the ground and was not completely dead, and used the levitation technique to levitate, and shouted condescendingly to the trialists on the deck.

"The ship is already half sunk and won't last long, we need to evacuate together. ”

Many trialists emerged from the corners.

"Evacuate, where to evacuate?"

"yes, we're having fun!"

"Why didn't you say it sooner if you could evacuate?"

Everyone responded, and for a moment there was an uproar on the deck.

That's because you can still stand on the ship and talk, the focus of the Sea Clan's attack has obviously shifted to the bottom of the cabin, and when the ship is completely sunk, the one who is happy to kill is probably the Sea Clan. Edjeqin shook his head slightly: "There is the latest news, and it is bad news, the Eighth Prince of the Empire, Reinhardt, left us and ran away, and we found a letter in the place where he left that was supposed to stay in the control room, which stated that we should go to a group of islands in the south, instead of staying here to fight the people of the Sea Clan. We should have known about it a long time ago, but the prince concealed it and acted alone until our Trials members found it. ”

There seemed to be a sudden silence on the deck, and then an even greater noise erupted, which even faintly overpowered the storm and the faint sound of the Sezhin war song.

"Prince Reinhardt, why did he do this?"

"yes, that's not possible!"

"Impossible!"

"At first, I thought it was impossible, how could a prince of the empire do such a thing, but it is true, this letter is now in my possession. Ai Zheqin sighed and said, "However, now is not the time to pursue this matter, we need to evacuate as quickly as possible, I hope it is not too late." ”

He looked around, the sea was also full of blood, and the corpses of several war whales floating on the sea with their stomachs turned were particularly hideous, and the sea tribe had unconsciously given up the offensive on the sea, and there were very few gray fish people who were still landing and charging.

"All the members of the trial group, prepare to evacuate, those who don't know how to float are traveling on the water, those who can float are covering the retreat at low altitudes, as for the friends who don't belong to the trial group, you can keep up, the main force of the trial group will still provide you with cover. Time is running out for us, and the Sea Clans in the cabin are already attacking the deck!"

As soon as Ai Zheqin's words fell, a member of the trial group suddenly rushed to the deck from the cabin, squeezed through the crowd around him, and rushed towards him.

"Captain!"

"If you really can't hold it, tell the third and seventh teams to withdraw from the cabin, let's leave immediately!"

"No, Commander, all the Sea Clans below have retreated!"

"What?"

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

With the sound of water popping, a huge war whale burst out of the water like an arrow from the string, and the powerful impact pushed the hundred-meter-long ship to a stagger. The multi-ton behemoth leaped high into the air, leaping onto the deck just over a dozen meters above the horizon like a sprint, and then slammed into it, causing the entire ship to sink suddenly.

In the next second, everyone noticed the two figures standing on the head of this war whale.

"Yo, there's a lot of people. ”

The man at the head was Reinhardt, who had disappeared for a long time, his body was not even dripping, his golden hair still exuded a graceful and luxurious luster, and his whole body exuded a lazy and charming temperament as always.

The difference is that in his hands, he is holding a green head with scales and horns.

Ai Zheqin was stunned at first, although he seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and his gaze stayed on Reinhardt's hand.

"Reinhardt, what's in your hand?"

His tone was a little incredulous.

"Oh, as you can see, the head of the Naga noble. Reinhardt shook his head and said lazily, "I'll go down and brush their leader alone, and now I don't have the idea of the fish-man continuing to fight this ship, right?"

"And ...... that magic letterhead?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Reinhardt's face suddenly change, and he seemed to be a little angry.

"You peeked at my improvisation?"

"Create, create?"

"I was too bored when I was searching for this guy, so I added a little plot to the situation of this ship, so you really peeked at the story above?" Reinhardt stared at Ezcheqin with a strange expression, and then looked around at the situation of the trialists on the deck, "...... Hey, you've even done what you've said, intending to make everyone abandon ship and run away, hahaha!" )
