"There's nothing wrong with staying, but I don't think they can stay. ”

......

Ten days later, the ship returned to the island.

They spent a long time searching for surviving companions on the sea, mostly idle in the process, leisurely dividing up the corpses of the sea monsters and getting their share of the loot.

The eventual abandonment was unpleasant, but after such a long time, there really could be no survivors, who dragged the crumbling sailboat and began to sail back.

When they counted the numbers, they got the good news that was not good news: there were very few people who did not return, and considering the horror of the sea monsters, the sacrifice of a dozen people in total was a great blessing in misfortune.

But after all, when it comes to stepping on the land, most people don't smile.

Magellan's camp when they first arrived on the island was still on the shore, where they disembarked, Edward's sailors would stay and cut down trees to mend the sailboats, and the Amazonians went to their village. Others chose to stay on board to rest, their farewells dreary, but at least the blessings were heartfelt.

The next day, Tara came to the seashore and found Magellan and the countess.

"Athena is glad to see the Kraken die, but you'll need to bring a little loot to prove that you're a hero, and then we can move on. ”

This is a real big problem, as the sea monster has long been divided, and what is left is a whole massive, grotesque, indestructible skeleton.

"I remember...... When you pick the loot......" Tara was clearly holding back her laughter.

Magellan sighed: "That's right, the most tender piece of meat in the sea monster's abdomen, the most delicious part of this big guy's body, has now fallen into my stomach...... Well, the chefs are really good......"

Tara took out a short skeleton with the tip divided into three prongs, and shook it at Magellan: "The symbol of the Sea King, unfortunately there is only one on the sea monster, and I won't give it to you." ”

Magellan turned to look at the wreckage of the sea monster, except for the large hole that the countess had made with dragon breath, its head was intact, and its leather armor was still covered with it, including the giant fangs and eyes.

This is the part that is most reminiscent of the sea monster, but the most popular when dividing the trophy is the brilliant dorsal and caudal fins, then the flesh pieces and scales, and the crowd gathers around the body of the sea monster, but there is no one near the head. That's because they're huge, and they're hard to separate.

"It's part of the heroic deeds, so enjoy being a hero. Tara patted Magellan on the shoulder, undisguised schadenfreude on her face.

"Forget it...... I'll see if I can dig up a drop of blood or something out of that hole......"

The countess, who had been watching the joke from the sidelines, finally spoke: "I can help you, but I'm curious about what the heroes will do next." ”

"Just come along," Tara's smile seemed to mean something, "you're a hero, don't forget to bring the loot." ”

"Give us a little time. ”

Tara nodded, and went with her companions to help Edward cut down trees and repair the ship, and on the other side of the warship, there were two big holes on the deck and under the hull to be filled, and they had a lot of trouble.

But in the end, all the troubles were solved, their luck was neither good nor bad, and what really surprised was the enthusiasm of the people, who seemed to be not tired or tired, and who were frighteningly productive at work.

So on a rare sunny morning, the three heroes set out for the temple on the hill with the men who helped them carry the booty.

Even to the well-informed Magellan, the countess's wealth was astounding, and she easily removed a pair of fangs from the wreckage of the sea monster with a magical item, giving Magellan and her both the trophy to prove themselves.

"So, you alone are enough to defeat the sea monster, so why let us interfere?"

Since coming into this world, Magellan has seen people who have tried everything to keep secrets. From a book to a rumor, people who really understand the message look at everyone with suspicion and hide it deep in their hearts.

For a standard Bretonian, if he is able, he should hunt the sea monster alone and keep the spoils for himself, and if he is not, he should send a legal adviser to enter into a strict contract with Magellan, stipulating the division of the spoils and the obligations of both parties.

If it's a pirate or an explorer, they may do it differently, but it's essentially the same thing.

"So after knowing each other for so long, you finally ask a question that really matters. The countess still had a smile on her face, and Magellan fell into a familiar doubt, not knowing whether the beauty was just fond of seeing people curious about her, or whether she didn't want to be understood.

"So for the first time, I'll tell you a definite answer. For the first time, the countess showed an expression that made people see emotions, not an unpredictable smile, nor a serious focus on the front of her, but flat, "That's your bravery, you're the hero." I don't want to jump out of the way when you're sure to succeed, but if you fail, I'll be stuck here too, so I'll help when you're about to fail. ”

"I'm not going to let anybody hate me, that's my code of conduct, it's out of nature, out of habit, and I said that I like people to fall in love with me. ”

"That ......"

Magellan was about to say something when he was interrupted by the countess.

"I say this because, I'm sure, you won't hate me for it. I used to think you were a genius who could make me see through it, but in the end I found out that you never disguised yourself. ”

On the bow of the Atlantis, in the clammy sea breeze, with the Countess's long hair fluttering, and the Iron Giant with a painful face at her feet, the conversation here will not fall into the ears of anyone but the participants: "You are indeed different from the others, I hope that we can be friends, and besides, I also want you to help me, but until then, please be patient." ”

"I thought we were friends for a long time. ”

"That's great news. The countess laughed.

This conversation kept echoing in Magellan's head, and he had never doubted the countess, but he had never been able to understand her way of doing things.

But now, as he walked down the hillside, Magellan had decided to forget about the confusion. He has a lot of freak friends, and compared to them, the countess is really simple and cute.

They walked slowly, mainly because they couldn't move through the woods with their fangs.
