Chapter 117: Melva

"Hey!!Commander!Look at this!!" Tea stopped next to an oil painting depicting a demon knight with four legs, plate armor, and a feathered helmet standing in an eerie setting, with purple-red fireworks burning in his eyes, and his huge hands each holding a tombstone-shaped spear and a large sword in the shape of a corpse-shaped gauntlet.

Shaw and Seeg were also attracted by the painting and stopped, looking at the scene on the painting, they were both surprised and said, "Isaac's magic spear and Shion's sword!?"

"This painting depicts the legendary demon Menus in the Abyss and its Devil's Spear and Devilspirit, the Sword of Hell, which I made a few years ago. Ganif also stopped beside the crowd and explained to them the origin of the painting.

I remember Isaac's gun was called devil'svein...... Teacher Garnif is really amazing, he can actually draw so expressively!~" Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise, in her opinion, an old man like Garnifer wanted to see the demon weapon in Isaac's hand It was really difficult, even if it was a one-sided relationship, the painting was enough to convey the spirit.

Garnif nodded expressionlessly, and led the four of them to visit other paintings such as the roaring two-headed demon dog, the running nightmare monster, and so on, and finally he led the four of them into a large room at the end, in addition to the tall bookshelf with many books and oil paintings, a gorgeous bayonet sword on the coffee table with cups, and a lot of drawing paper piled up on a sandalwood table in the center of the room, various colors of paint and various brushes were also lying aside, which showed that Garnif was a master of painting.

"Welcome to my realm, please take a seat, it's a bit messy. As he spoke, the old man walked over to the coffee table and prepared to serve tea to the four of them.

While the others sat down, Melva habitually glanced around with a wary gaze, finally locked onto the sword at the coffee table, and asked, "Teacher, will you make a sword?"

After brewing the tea, Garnif brought four cups of tea to the crowd and answered Melva's question: "This is a sword forged for me by an old friend of mine, but I have never used it, which is a bit sorry for my old friend, so I began to practice swordsmanship in addition to painting." ”

He drank all the strong tea, took a long breath and asked, "Old man...... No, how did you know who we were, old man? I've always wondered!"

Ganif finally smiled, "Haha! I'll find you when you get to the reef...... It's just that the tall young man was unexpectedly alert, so I could only use remote sensing to learn some trivial things...... Like your name. ”

"Remote Sensing...... No wonder it is called a prophet...... And that panther?"

He continued to inquire about the panther, and Garnif said, "That's my domesticated pet, you know, there are six real inhabitants of this big house, but most of my friends have gone to places that really suit them, and the only stupid boy who will come back here hasn't seen him for a few days, and I, the old man, can only keep an animal to relieve my boredom...... And the half-fish people that nest on the outside of the reef are just the food for it......"

The tea was already sluggish, Melva pushed him, and said to Garnif: "Teacher, since you know my identity, you won't hide anything from Commander Augst, right?

"No problem, you must be in trouble, and it has something to do with the sea...... I'm pretty good at it, so just ask me if I need anything. ”

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Shoey, and she nodded to Garnif and recounted to Garnif what she had seen nine months ago through the thunderous projection of the Celestial Elemental Gem, the enigmatic pirate ship.

After Ganif had listened to Shoy's story, he began to think, and the group sat in their seats waiting for his conclusion, and after ten minutes had passed, he finally spoke.

"Heart of the Ocean...... The pirate ship, cursed by the prehistoric sea witch, seemed to be the only possibility. ”

"The sea witch Selene, the demon god who appears as an ugly mermaid, has a history of the heart of the ocean for nearly a thousand years, am I right?" said Sieg after communicating with the wolf.

"That's right, it's related to the Demon God, which means that you will have to deal with all the monsters in the sea, including Bermangaard, Rahabd Lucas, Hydra, Brachuura, Asrovota, Ticarabia, and Verneus, the most dangerous monsters of the seven seas in the sea......"

The old man's words sent a chill through the audience, and Shoey said, "Bermangard I know...... It's dangerous...... I don't know about the other six monsters!"

"There won't be much difference between them, these monsters used to be Selene's faithful servants, but their master Selene was killed by the Holy King Leon, and the monsters went where they belonged, and the pirate ship was a curse that inherited Selene's consciousness. Garnif finished all this as it was, and the crowd listened to him with great vigour.

"Since it is a curse, it must be found through my sorcery, and this is what your Pope really did when he sent you to me...... Then look at it!!" Garnif took a short wand from under his black robe, and gradually extended it as it swirled at high speed, turning into a longer black staff.

“......”

Ganif began to recite the mysterious incantation, and gradually condensed a black gas in front of the staff, and the black gas turned into a black mirror under the continuous rotation and dissipation, he raised the staff with all his strength, and large drops of sweat dripped down his wrinkled cheeks onto the black robe, and in the black mirror appeared the rough sea, and the mysterious pirate ship still appeared in the thunder roar, and gradually disappeared into the darkness in the wind and rain, at this time Ganif also put down the staff......

"Hey, old man...... Forehead...... Old-timers!We haven't seen anything clearly!That's it!?" Couldn't believe her eyes, and got up and asked.

After putting away his cane, Garnif wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped and said, "...... Call...... It looks like my peeping eye spell doesn't work completely because of its curse, and that's the limit...... At least I learned that the sea area where it is currently located is the most dangerous area in the Western Sea, the Strait of Somnus. ”

"How do I get there...... Somnus Strait?" Scheve complained.

"Surely that big man among you knows that he wasn't the leader of the Goshawk Regiment in the past?"

Xiao Yi was a little disappointed and complained: "Alas...... Looks like we're going to have to count on that fly head again! Let's hope we can make it!"

Melva patted Shoey on the shoulder: "I will do my best, and I will be at your disposal at any time, Captain August." ”

"It seems that your purpose here has been accomplished, and I don't think you will want to stay here, and I have nothing to say if you want to leave. ”

"Yes, it's time for us to go, but we'll meet again in the future!

Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, and Garnif didn't do much to stay, Shoey and his party said goodbye to the old wizard and left the isolated mansion, while Garnif and his black panther stood in front of the mansion and watched the four of them leave.

The four of them walked on the smooth rocky reef, about a mile away from the mansion behind them, a gust of sea breeze blew, and the sound of the sea washing the reef came to their ears, obviously the tide was rising, and the outline of the goshawk gradually appeared in the fog, and slowly approached them as the tide advanced...... "We crossed the Strait of Calidos directly...... This saves a few days of sailing to Somnus!"

"Are you serious, that place!!"

The crowd on deck of the Goshawk was discussing how to continue the voyage, and Lemuel objected to his reckless approach.

"Unfortunately, we don't have much time, and the elusive Heart of the Ocean will most likely leave Somnus in a few days, so make a decision, Captain August. Melva analysed the current situation and asked Shoey for his opinion.

After careful consideration, Shoey finally decided to cross the Strait of Calidos and encouraged the crew to cheer up and sail......

Hours passed, and it was dusk, and in this turbulent sea of reefs, the Goshawk sailed back into the waters of Calidos in the wind and waves, and passed through the looming reefs, for which Nabal at the helm did not dare to let up, Raguil guided him at the lookout, and Lemuel and Samuel led the sailors on deck to stabilize the sails, a scene that seemed to outsiders to be a man of the sea......

While everyone on deck was busy, the people in the captain's room, which was also in turmoil, seemed to be completely accustomed to this dynamic, and the topic of monsters in the sea was being discussed.

"Remember what Ganif mentioned about Tiklabia, I think that the shipwrecks we encountered the day before yesterday were born of it, and this dark water is its habitat. ”

During the discussion, Melva mentioned Ticalabia, and there were different opinions on this, and Sieg did not know where to start, so he had to stabilize Shoy first, saying, "According to the wolf...... Ticalabia is a mutated giant starfish that has earned the nickname of the Drowning Core for a long time by devouring the bodies of the drowning and brewing shipwrecked spirits in its body, but it is only the weakest of the Seven Sea Monsters, and it should have a chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation, right?"

"It's just a starfish...... I really want to pick it up and cook it, but I don't know if I can eat it......" Mo Tea interjected jokingly.

"What are you kidding, stupid! At present, there are only fourteen sailors except for the three former members of the Goshawk Regiment, and they are legendary monsters after all......" She complained angrily, staring at her so much that she didn't dare to mix it up blindly.

And Melva took out a few special crossbows of special material structure mechanical crossbow from the backpack she carried, only to see that the arrows were engraved with strange runes, giving people a feeling of suffocation, seeing the eyes around her gradually change, she explained: "This is the product of the perfect combination of spells and cold weapons, the Holy Sect's Demon Sealing Arrow." It is able to restrain the target without destroying it, and although it can only work on enemies other than flesh and blood, it is best used to seal the drowned, and once we have eliminated enough of them, it is possible for Ticalabia to emerge from the sea. At that time, all it takes is someone to break its core, and we will do nothing to the ocean. ”

"It is estimated that the drowning spirits will only come out at night, and we still need to wait for the sky to completely darken, so let's assign the work to those sailors during this time!~" Kagami still smiled and suggested, and Xiao Yi agreed with him, and began to plan the next battle plan...... (To be continued.) )
