Chapter 116: Shaw
The sword flashed, and the drowning spirit behind Mo Cha disappeared, and Xige appeared behind him holding the sky wolf and said, "Senior, you should pay attention to your back!"
"Ahh......h I'm really unwilling!Let's come to the competition to see who will kill the most ghosts!!!This one is mine!!" He waved his knife to disperse the two drowning spirits in front of him, and Sig was not far behind, swinging the sky wolf to cut all the drowning spirits beside him, and said: "You are so cunning! It's a pity that you still can't win me!"
When the battle on the deck was in full swing, a drowned spirit sneaked up on Samuel at the helm, and dragged Samuel off the deck with its pale hands, and at the moment when he was about to enter the water, a steel nail pierced through the drowning spirit to destroy it, Samuel continued to fall into the water, he struggled to surface, and found that the drowned spirits around him were gradually approaching him, so he shouted to the boat: "Hey......!
But no one had the opportunity or time to throw the lifeline at Samuel, so Nabal swung his axe to disperse the drowning spirits around him, and then desperately fell over the ship's side fence and fell into the sea, he wielded a short axe to drive away the drowning spirits, and at the same time swam with Samuel and the goshawk swam along, Melva slid down the steel cable to the deck, shuttled between the large number of drowned spirits and threw the lifeline into the sea, the two immediately swam to the rope and climbed up, and when they re-boarded the ship, everyone worked together to repel the attack......
Suddenly there was a loud bang on the hull, and at the same time there was a violent vibration that caused the crew to lose their center of gravity, and Nabal looked at the unattended rudder and yelled, "Hey! You don't have any brains! It's finished now, it's definitely on the rocks!!"
Seeing that the drowning spirits were no longer impacting frequently, the crew took up their positions to inspect the damage to the ship, and Shoey put away his two guns and went to the bow to look down, the ship was only slightly bruised, but the dense reef on the left side fixed the ship in place and could not move, so she informed Nabal: "Fly head! Try to turn quickly, we are lucky, we just brushed it!!"
Nabal had already come to the rudder and turned the rudder to the right, but by this time the sea breeze had stopped and the ship was not moving, and everyone could only wait in desperation, and felt sorry for the crew who died in the sea, and this attack made everyone dare not relax in the slightest.

As the minutes ticked by, the drowning spirit did not attack the people on board again, the sea breeze gradually blew, and Nabal ordered again, and the Goshawk shook off the reef, raised its sails, and readjusted its course to the northwest......
Mo Cha and Sieg sat back to back under the mainmast to rest, Sig held the wolf to support his tired body and said, "Whew...... I've killed more than two dozen ghosts...... You've lost!"
"Come on...... I didn't say what to do if I lost......" Mo Cha, who was also exhausted, responded.
While the two of them were resting, Melva took out a powerful magnet, retrieved all the steel nails scattered on the deck, put them back into the wheel, and folded the mechanical crossbow back to the captain's room...... How can you escape, everyone needs you!"
"Seeing that everyone is working so hard, I'm embarrassed to make a move, and I'll only make a move when you really need me, now...... Captain, you'd better go and rest, it's not far from Minella!"
Shoey shook his head and came to Nabal's side and asked, "Nabal...... Everyone's okay?"
"Hah! Not a big deal! except for the five brothers who died, not a single hair was lost!" replied Nabal.
"Are we safe now?"
He picked up a nearby nautical chart, pointed to a large island on it, and replied: "Minella, we will arrive at dawn, and it will be all right now!" If the captain does not believe me, he can go and see the surface of the sea......
Shaw walked quickly to the fence and looked down, and now the sea level was empty except for the bottomless water.
"Alas...... It looks like it's finally over!~" Shaw adjusted his mind and walked towards the captain's room......
At dawn, the Goshawk weathered the strong tides and the changing direction of the wind, and finally approached an unknown island in the open ocean, found a suitable docking point and lowered the iron anchor, and the first morning light shone on them in only a few minutes, and they were engulfed in the fog that filled them, and they could not see the details of the island due to their poor vision.
On deck, the crew looked around in a hurry, as if affected by the intense weather in the Strait of Calidos, a huge dark cloud floating over the island, completely shrouding the island in complete darkness, and the fierce sea breeze blowing the side of the Goshawk, the ship was still affected by the wind and swaying from side to side even if the sails were not raised, which made the crew even more uneasy.
"Everyone, prepare!!"
At the bow of the boat, Nabal instructed the sailors to pull up a dinghy with the help of a sail line and place it on the surface of the sea below, and Shoy was puzzled by his actions, so he stepped forward and asked, "Nabal...... Is this really our destination!"
She called Lemuel to compare the coordinates and directions repeatedly, and continued to express her doubts: "The coordinates are correct, but this cannot be the case on Minera...... It looks like a ...... in any way It's like a barren island made up of rocks......"
"It's really here! Minella is a reef island, and the tide is not yet high, and the water level of less than two meters is impossible for the Goshawk to travel, so it can only be entered by dinghy......"
Nabal's firm tone dispelled everyone's concerns, and Shoey ordered: "Sig, Tea, and Sister Melva, you go ashore with me, and the others stay behind!"
The three of them prepared and followed Shoey down into the dinghy, and Kagami and Nabal watched from the deck as the four of them paddled towards the island and gradually disappeared into the fog......
The group traveled for about an hour in the shallow, foggy water, and when Mo Cha was unable to paddle anymore, the dinghy hit the hard ground, and after confirming that it was the field, Shoy landed with the others and secured the dinghy to the shore with tools......
"Whew...... I'm so tired!Why don't you let Sieg row!" Tea tossed the oar into the dinghy, still complaining about Shaw's intention to let herself paddle alone.
"Ahem...... I remember you lost to Sieg on the ship! That's the punishment for losers!"
After a brief explanation, Mo Cha stopped complaining, but said, "I'm convinced!" So how are we going to find the prophet in this fog? ”
Melva took a closer look at the ground beneath her feet and found that it was just some reef formed by the continuous erosion of the sea, and speculated: "The water will be very deep here after the tide rises, anyway, keep going first, don't worry about getting lost, I brought a compass!"
The three agreed, and Sig walked through the fog with the Sirius Sword in his hand, while the others followed, always on the lookout for dangers lurking in the fog......
Minutes and seconds passed......
"Damn!!Stinky Fish Head!!" The drenched Mo Cha slashed at the last frenzied fish-man in front of him, and before they came to a large mansion in the middle of the island, and were about to enter it to investigate, several half-fishmen suddenly appeared nearby, and they attacked them with their claws.
The fish-man blocked the slash with the scales of his hard back, and jumped up on the spot to force him back with his long tail, but Sieg followed with a stronger slash that slashed off its long tail, causing the fish-man to roar in blood, and the dagger that Shoy threw shot through its throat, and Melva, who approached from behind, took the opportunity to break its neck.
"Whew...... Finally solved...... No, this mansion is the nest of these stinky fish heads......" He wiped the sweat from his face and hung his long knife back behind him.
"There won't be such a thing! we haven't gone in yet, so there's no reason to come out and attack......" Shaw kept complaining, but the danger had not yet cleared, and someone or something was approaching them.
At the entrance of the mansion shrouded in dense fog, the figure of a large cat gradually revealed, its swift movements dazzled people, and in the blink of an eye, it swept a distance of more than a dozen paces and stopped in front of the eyes of the four people.
"I'm rubbing, how is it a big black panther!!" When the murderous eyes of the giant beast swept over everyone, Mo Mocha screamed and took a few steps back, and the others also took out their weapons to defend themselves.
But the panther didn't attack them, just walked around them, sniffed the smell of their bodies, and then turned around and rushed towards the fish-man corpse in the pool of blood, and in an instant the flesh, internal organs, and blood splattered, although the stunned four people could not stop it from enjoying the delicious meal, but as an animal, it still had a sense of protection, and dragged the fish-man's corpse aside to continue biting......
Not long after the predator appeared, a black-robed elder appeared at the entrance of the mansion and gradually approached them...... Due to the relatively obvious sound of footsteps coming into their ears, the four of them immediately turned around and restrained the black-robed man behind them with the weapons in their hands, and the other party instinctively raised his hands and gave up resistance.
"I didn't expect anyone to come to Minella to look for me...... And it's heavily armed...... Alas!" sighed a slightly hoarse voice.
Seeing that the other party was not hostile, Xiao Yi put down the dagger in his hand and asked, "Who are you?"
"Ganif. Ganif, the black-robed wizard of Minera. The wrinkles under the man's gray hair could not hide the vicissitudes of time, and the expressionless wizard was clearly over seventy years old.
Seeing that the black-robed man claimed to be Garnif, she asked again: "I don't believe it very much, alas, you don't look like a prophet at all, what kind of person are you!"
"I am the black-robed wizard Garnif, the Prophet...... I don't think anyone will know about it except for the popes of the Holy Church. Son, did the Holy Church send you to me?"
"Ahh......h I am Shoy Ogst, and they are all my friends, and we have indeed come to you on the commission of the Holy Pope!" Shaw changed his attitude and politely answered the old man's question.
"Shoy August, Melva of the Holy Cult, Sieg, and Tea Tristan. Please come with me, it's not convenient to talk in the fog, let's talk slowly in the mansion. Garnif nodded in satisfaction, and invited everyone into the room to elaborate.
"Hey, old man, how are you ......?"
When Tea was about to ask Garnif, Shoey told him to shut up, and the group followed Garnif into the imposing mansion......
When Garnif led them through the gate of the mansion, what appeared in front of Xiao Yi and the others was a large corridor full of antiquity, with a large number of rooms on both sides, but most of them were locked or not used at all, and there were many strange ancient paintings on the walls on both sides, which bloomed in mysterious colors under the light of the fire of the candelabra hanging high at the top......
