"Do you know what is the most helpless situation in the ocean? shipwreck! The most important thing is that I don't know how to swim, not even a dog. I don't think anyone here is going to put quotation marks around the word 'desperate situation' anymore. The innkeeper looked at the adventurer who had spoken first.

"Not necessarily. The adventurer retorted unconvinced, "If you are lucky enough to encounter a group of merfolk in the shipwreck, and that group of merfolk happens to lack males to reproduce, this 'desperate situation' will not require me to say anything more." Again, he gestured with his hand in quotation marks.

"Terrence, Terrence, you really should go find a woman. The innkeeper smiled helplessly, "In fact, I didn't meet that kind of beautiful mermaid, but I met a group of extremely vicious Kou Tao fish people. With a fish-like head, pin-like teeth, webbed feet, slimy scales, and a strong fishy smell, this is undoubtedly an ugly creature. ”

"How's it taste?" asked the adventurer with heavy dark circles on Barrett's left side in a soft tone, "I mean, how it tastes." I heard that kobolds taste similar to dog meat, and the taste of minotaurs is also very similar to beef, so I want to know what Koutao fishman tastes like. His voice was soft, but everyone in the hotel turned their heads to look at him, and it was clear that everyone had heard it.

"To be honest, I haven't tried. It's not because I have some moral habits of cleanliness, in fact I've eaten something completely beyond your imagination. The reason I didn't try it was because the way they looked was unappetizing. However, according to those adventurers and sailors who have eaten it, the taste is better than expected, not much like the taste of pomfret. ”

After describing the smell of the fishmen, the innkeeper continued his story, "The fishmen attacked us in the early hours of the morning, the day after we finally left the island named 'Mist'. At that time, 'Misty Island' caused all of our compasses to fail, and all ships were inevitably absorbed by the island. ”

"Everyone was busy and exhausted trying to escape from the island and avoid the fate of the fleet that would be wiped out by hitting the reef around the island, so when the fish people attacked in the early hours of the morning, the guards on duty did not notice it immediately. ”

"Huge numbers of fish-men poured in like a tidal wave, and one by one climbed onto the deck. Seriously, that's a fitting description in the ocean. The innkeeper smiled, "The Orc Death was the first to sound the alarm, then the flagship Lemon, the Golden Right Hand I was on was the third, and the Oak Barrel never sounded the alarm. I heard that several of the guards on their deck had been stabbed to death by spears thrown by the fishmen, but it didn't matter, the bells of the ships on the sea had already been in a row, and the dead would be woken up from their graves, let alone the living. ”

"I was the first adventurer to break out of the cabin of the 'Golden Right Hand'. On deck at that time, several sailors were already fighting with the fishmen with scimitars. Thankfully, the fishmen weren't as agile on deck as they were in the water, and the sailors were able to hold on to their strength. ”

"That's what I'm used to using at the time. The innkeeper took out a broadsword from under the counter and handed it to the guests. I have to say that each of his stories seems to have some props prepared in advance.

The sword was handed to Barrett in a wave of admiration. He held the hilt of his sword and examined it with a professional eye.

It has to be said that this is an extremely well-made broad-edged longsword with a very beautiful appearance, slightly heavier than an ordinary longsword, but it is very much in line with Barrett's usage habits. The sword was golden-colored, and the center was carved in the shape of a majestic lion's head. The dense lion's mane extends to the sides, forming a decorative gauntlet.

"This sword is called 'Lionheart', and I got it from the ruins of an ancient battlefield. The innkeeper said, "I was holding this lionheart sword and fighting with the fishmen. ”

The broadblade finally returned to Leslie's hand, and he looked down at the sword with a sigh of emotion, "One fish-man after another has fallen under my sword, and none of them have survived three breaths in front of me. It's not me boasting, but I was the only one who beat the fish people to the ground. ”

"But I did have some problems later, those fish-men didn't affect me much when they were alive, but they became very troublesome after they died. The slippery corpses were lying everywhere, slime and blood covered the entire deck, slipping under the slightest step, and it was difficult to get up after falling, and many sailors and adventurers lost their lives because of it.

"There were also a handful of large fishmen with heavy pincers in their hands. The big fishman waved his cane like a hurricane, making it difficult to get close. Several crew members were accidentally hit by pincers because their feet were too slippery, and their bones were shattered and flew into the sea, obviously there was no way to come back, and even the deck of the ship was smashed countless pieces of wood in the ravages of the pincer fishmen. ”

"But even so, the tide of the war is still tilting on our side. When I and a few other adventurers teamed up to take out all the pincer fishmen, they couldn't keep up with our killing speed. The number of fish-people on the boat also began to slowly decrease. When the last living fish-man jumped back into the ocean, we all thought the battle was over. But at that moment, there was a heavy knocking sound from the bottom of the ship. Those damn fish-men are digging the bottom of our boat, and the holes are still growing, and they can't even plug them. ”

"Just when we were all helpless to look at each other, ready to call for help from the other ships. I saw that Clyde's mage friend was standing on the bow of the Lemon, shooting thick magical lightning bolts into the water. It turned out that not only our ship, but the other three ships also suffered the same fate. After taking out the fishmen in the waters around the flagship, the mage flew towards the Orc Death. Because the Golden Right Hand was the furthest from the flagship, by the time the Mage had solved the trouble with the Oak Barrel, the ship under our feet had already sunk more than halfway through. In order to avoid being stirred into the whirlpool of the sunken ship, everyone jumped into the sea in advance. The scene was extremely chaotic, with the remaining fishmen and the crew continuing to fight in the water, while I just clung to a wooden bucket of potatoes and threw my weapon into the barrel, helplessly waiting for the rescue of the other boats. ”

"As I carefully hid myself behind the barrel, trying to keep the remaining fish-men from spotting me, a force suddenly grabbed my feet and dragged me into the deep sea beneath the surface. ”

"The morning sun shone into the churning waters, and the blue mixed with the scarlet sea became farther and farther away in my eyes. Because I was so panicked, the salty sea water rushed madly into my mouth, and the bubbles fled irrepressibly. I stretched out my hands helplessly to the sunlight above, but I was still dragged farther and farther away by the great force, and gradually sank into the deep and dark depths of the sea. ”
