"Where are the intruders?" asked several different voices on deck.

Lukka didn't go out the door, he first checked the defensive circles on the ship, especially the one at the door of the captain's room, and found that all the circles were intact.

He then casts a Danger Perception. Although this is only a first-level spell of the prophecy system, it can often save the caster when the surrounding situation is unknown.

This time, the spell didn't give him any feedback.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a pile of lush foliage on the doorframe of the captain's quarters that shouldn't have been there, Lukka would probably have judged that it was a false alarm. But those green onions that thrived in the sun and swayed in the sea breeze were clearly swaying and laughing at him.

"Use fire. With that, Lukka silently recited the incantation of a miniature fireball. He didn't plan to use a spell that was too powerful as soon as he came up, after all, this was his own gate, and if a hole was burned, it would be him who would leak when he slept at night.

However, Nora was faster than he did, and as soon as she heard the word "fire", she immediately threw several balls of living flames and flew straight towards the leaves on the door frame.

"Don't don't, don't burn!" suddenly came a cry of horror from the doorframe, clinging to the pillars, and the branches and leaves that seemed to merge with the original wood trembled and slid downward, snaking and gliding a few paces across the deck.

However, the movement of the wood was not fast after all, and where the living flames passed, the green leaves became charred and curled, and by the time Nora stopped at Luca's signal, more than half of the leaves of the silent invading verdant plant had been burned, and the remaining branches were also half dried up, and much of the bark had fallen off.

"Are you burning so hard?" the few dead branches that were left wept together, piled up on the deck, and soon became a human figure.

"Yo, I used to sing a little song. Lukka looked at it for a long time before he recognized it, mainly because the current image of the bard named Dolan was really a bit unbearable, the three-cornered hat on his head was burned to the point that only one horn remained, the wood grain on the tips of his fingers was still smoking, the long coat on his body had become a scumbag, and only the lute he was holding in his arms did not appear to be damaged on the surface.

"What do you want to do? I'm just trying to rub a boat, and really use me like firewood?" said Dolan, grumbling as he scrutinized the lute.

"You're lucky, if you were so reckless in the Sunset Islands, you would have been cut into several pieces a long time ago. Ollie was slightly sorry that her greatsword didn't come in handy this time.

"Why don't you let him take the board, I've always heard of pirates doing this, but I've never seen them before. Phil had an idea.

"I don't think it's better to send it to the kitchen as firewood. Daniel said.

Everyone found out that the intruder was just a wooden elf rubbing the boat, and everyone laughed around and joked, and they all seemed to relax a lot. Only three of them still had their nerves tense, staring intently at the bard with a sad face.

Crete is certainly one of the three who did not relax, he has always been rigorous, and his eyes will definitely not take off Dolan until Luca gives the order.

Lukka didn't let up either, and Dolan claimed that his purpose was to take a free boat ride, but there were too many contradictions in his actions.

First of all, the destination of the Silent Reaper has not been revealed to anyone except the members of the ship, and the ship can't be so blind and don't even ask where to go.

Secondly, even if the other party can make himself look like a plant, the wood elf is not wood after all, and it can not activate any vigilance circle, which makes Lukka completely unreassured.

Nora didn't let her guard down, as a fire elf, she knew much more about the Boiling Sea and the Wood Elf race than the rest of the crew, and although she had summoned the living flames back to her side, she didn't put them away, but let those small flames still flutter around her, ready to attack at any time.

"Hey, you're not really going to cut me down, are you?" asked Dolan, worried.

"No, we're going to throw you overboard. Daniel said and looked at Luca, "Okay, Captain?"

Nora suddenly exclaimed, "You can't throw it down!"

Thea raised her head and looked at her with big dark eyes, "What? is he really your relative?"

"Of course not!" Thea re-released the living flames around her, circling around Dolan to form a cage of living flames.

"This guy isn't a wood elf. Lukka said, "Otherwise, my circle won't be silent." ”

Indeed, he is not. Nora confirmed Luca's speculation, "He's not an elf at all!"

"Ahh

Nora took a closer look at him and affirmed, "He's a wood spirit. ”

"Wood elves, wood spirits, that sounds like that. Thea said as she wrapped her fingers around a strand of her silver hair.

"It's just a word difference, but the Wood Spirit is not a flesh-and-blood creature at all, just a plant that can imitate the appearance of an elf. Nora explained.

"Yes, he doesn't have animal blood flowing in him. Crete said that he could see that Dolan was different from ordinary intelligent beings, but he had never seen such a thing as a wood spirit before, so he couldn't name it.

"So my circle didn't react. Lukka nodded, his circle was indeed open to the plants, otherwise any willow floated by would call the police.

"Is it really a plant?" said Phil, "and if I break a branch from his hand and stick it in the soil, will another one grow?"

Dolan immediately wrapped his hands in his coat, which was left with only a few pieces of rag.

"Whatever he is, why do you say you can't throw it overboard?" Lukka asked.

"Because wood essence combines the common characteristics of many plant species, including aquatic plants. If we throw him overboard, not only will he not drown, but he will cling to the outside of the hull like seaweed, and he will climb back to the deck at some point. Nora said.

"That'...... Burn it to charcoal and throw it away?" Thea suggested.

Lukka shook his head: "That's probably not good, haven't you heard of 'wildfires can't burn out, and spring breezes blow and grow'?"

"I haven't heard of it. Everyone, including Dolan, the wood spirit sitting on the ground, shook their heads together.

"Forget it, no matter what," Lukka asked Nora again, "Since the wood spirits are plants, they don't have the intelligence of humanoids, right?"

Before Nora could reply, Dolan cried out in dissatisfaction, "Can't you hear me?
