CHAPTER XXIV

Anyone who sails on the seas knows that the fish-people are the kind of human creatures that cannot communicate with each other, and there is no way to establish effective communication with them in a peaceful way except to subdue them, and the Kraken is an intelligent race with their own civilization heritage.

Their writing and language belong to a branch of the ancient elven civilization, but after tens of thousands of years of evolution, few people know about their civilization now, and their language and writing are very different from today's elven language.

With the powerful power of the artillery, Cook repelled a wave of fishmen and sailed his ship towards the sea occupied by the Kraken. However, judging by the Krakens' clenched hands and their wary gazes, Cook knew he wasn't very popular.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Cook saw that he couldn't communicate with them, so he slowly turned the rudder and sailed away from the sea. The basic reconnaissance mission has been completed, and now it is time to return home, as for how to deal with the Kraken and the Fish-Man on these two islands, that is what the Baron of Nanlin Island should worry about.

After staying away from that sea area, Cook is carefully checking the navigation chart that has been drawn, this is a new sea area, so Cook is also more careful to check, and he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, in case he comes again and again, if he gets lost because of the wrong details of this chart, Cook is afraid that not only will he not be rewarded by the lord, but the punishment will definitely not be light.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the captain's room, and Cook threw down the ruler in annoyance, and then strode out of the captain's room. Cook's first mate also happened to meet him, as if he had something to report to him.

After Cook asked about the situation, he hurried to the left side of the ship with the first mate. It turned out that the sailor noticed that there was a floating object passing by in the sea, and thought it was a dead sea fish or something, but who knew that when he got closer, he would see that it was a kraken.

Cook asked the crew to hook the kraken up with a rope hook, but when the crew got it up, they heard the crew exclaim, "It's alive," and Cook hurried to the kraken to inspect it.

It was a female Siren, with a dark green complexion, pointed ears, and only a simple bronze armor on her chest, which had just covered two small plumps protruding from her chest, exposing her navel, and a short skirt made of fish skin under her crotch, which was also decorated with shiny fish scales, and below that, a snake's tail rolled up in a circle.

Cook vaguely saw that she was still breathing slightly, but he didn't know where she was hurt, but she was unconscious. After thinking about it, Cook decided to bring her back and let the lord deal with her, maybe the lord had a way to communicate with her?

Cook had one of the empty tanks cleared, filled it with nearly three-quarters of seawater, put the unconscious female Siren into the tank, sealed several layers of sturdy fishing nets on the mouth of the tank, and finally carried the tank into an empty cargo hold and put a few more people to guard it.

When the merchant ship was still two days away, the crew guarding the Siren came to report that the female Siren had woken up, and Cook went to see her, ordered her some fresh water and grilled fish, and told her to keep a close watch, and then returned to the captain's quarters. Well, he's still working a new chart, but he doesn't have time to deal with the little Kraken who doesn't understand the language.

Helielle felt that she was really unlucky, as she had just reached the surface of the sea for the first time to guard the island of firing, she was attacked by the fishmen, and after being hit by the arcane impact of the fishmen of the tideman, she passed out, and when she woke up, she found herself locked in a box and a captive of another creature.

This fish-man-like creature with legs is called a human in the records of the Heliel, well, sinister and changeable, with their footnotes being the sinister and changeable personalities. Humans generally live on land, and although there are humans on some islands, there are still very few humans who can reach Fiddler Island deep into the ocean.

Heliel, cursing her bad luck, peeked at the humans guarding around the tank. I saw that they only looked at themselves a few times occasionally, and usually sat together and muttered something. "Well, I don't understand what they're saying?" said Heliel, secretly spitting bubbles.

Well, the human who just came seemed to be their leader, and he just glanced at Heliel a few times before going out. However, shortly after he left, the humans brought in something from the outside and sent it down the mesh into the tank.

Helielle first looked at the grilled fish, well, it smelled good. Helier carefully tore off a small piece and tasted it, it was indeed delicious, and the grilled fish had special spices in it. For the little kraken who has no knowledge, ordinary barbecue spices are "special".

After eating the grilled fish, Heliel looked at the cool white liquid in the clay pot, which was light water (the Kraken's name for fresh water, because fresh water does not contain salt and is much lighter than seawater), Heliel took a sip, well, similar to the natural light water on Fiddler Island.

After eating and drinking, Heliel turned over in the tank in boredom, and the snake's tail tentatively touched the wall of the tank, feeling that it was very strong, and it was not something that Hayriel could break. At the same time, hearing the sound of water splashing in the tank, the humans also came over and looked at Heliel vigilantly. Helielle immediately became honest and quietly coiled up her snake tail and rested against the water tank.

However, soon Helyl was not a lady, and after eating and drinking, she didn't know how long she had been unconscious. Helier was in a hurry, but she was trapped in such a small water tank, and if she was here to eat, drink, and Lazar, it would be better to let her die.

So, after an interval of five hours, the crew guarding the Siren once again reported to Cook about the female Siren's anomaly: the female Siren was constantly hitting the walls of the tank, sometimes hitting the fishing nets covering the mouth of the tank, and at the same time constantly screaming something, looking very hysterical.

Cook came to the cabin once more, and appeared in front of an angry Haleyl. Look at the female kraken with bulging cheeks, and then look at the female kraken's trembling lower crotch and the constantly curling snake tail. Cook understood the situation of the Siren very well, and as a result, another small tank was carried in.

Helielle now lives alone in this chamber, and the humans who guard her are all sent outside by the leader. It wasn't for Heliel's idea of escaping, but the iron collar around her neck and the slender iron chain attached to it effectively shattered her illusions, and this metal stronger than bronze greatly refreshed the worldview of the female Siren.
