Chapter 886: Agreement (II)
The sun had sunset in the west, leaving behind a patch of red where the sea and sky met, and the monsoon winds blowing from the sea set off huge waves that violently crashed against the rocks of the island. A bully was sailing on the sea, and at that moment, a voice was heard.
"Stop, check!"
On a patrol ship, there was a roar.
In a moment, the huge merchant ship stopped, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the aisle of the ship.
The captain of the patrol team, who was in charge of inspecting the merchant ships, was talking to his men as they walked.
Behind them, there were several tall soldiers, and the direction they were walking in was where the warehouse was located. "My lord, although he is a stowaway, he doesn't have to be executed, right?" the first mate said cautiously, accompanied by him. Just now, two stowaways were detected. "This is the law, understand? This is the law! The law is sacrosanct!"
"Whoever smuggles up will be thrown into the sea as soon as it appears! If we don't do this, everyone will follow suit, and how will our fleet sail? What will my lord Poseidon think?" "But one by one, one by one."
"They want to live, we have to live, don't forget, we are the people of the god of the sea! These people who try to defect by sea, or try to sneak into our country to wreak havoc, should not enjoy the right to live, and sacrifice them all to the god of the sea!" "If the stowaways, after ten people, even this boat, will be severely punished!" The expression of the patrol captain was very serious, and it seemed that this decision could not be changed.
Just now, not only did I search for two stowaways, but when I was checking the situation on the ship, I was even more surprised to notice that there was a movement in the warehouse on the second floor.
Based on the previous experience, I am afraid that it is the stowaways who sneak in before they dock or set sail, no matter what the reason, according to the rules of navigation, they must contribute these trespassers to the sea god to enjoy, this is a punishment for the stowaways, and at the same time, it is also a form of free sacrifice!
However, because this will make their voyage smoother, the process is a bit cruel, and it is normal for some people to not be able to see it.
At this time, they had already arrived at the door of the warehouse on the second floor, and while motioning to the people next to them to open the door, the patrol captain looked at the chief officer coldly. "Please check!" Under the gaze of the patrol captain, the first mate said helplessly. At the same time, he took a step back.
Seeing that the other party was soft, the patrol captain's face was a little better, and he instructed the others to say: "You all go in and find it for me, remember, check it well, and now any stranger in it must be caught for me!"
"Yes!" the group replied and opened the warehouse.
In the warehouse, there are goods and goods, densely packed, and there are no hidden people. The patrol captain looked at all this suspiciously, "My lord, you see, there is indeed no one inside, these goods are all legal goods that have been registered and taxed at the checkpoint." The first mate said with a smile. "Really?" the patrol captain stepped in, the sharp sunlight sweeping through them.
Suddenly, he sneered and said, "From the outside, this warehouse is eleven and a half feet, why is it only eight and a half feet inside......?" It's stupid, it's killing itself!" At this moment, a voice that made everyone feel trembling suddenly came out of the warehouse.
Under the reflection of the torches, I saw that in the dark corner of the warehouse, a wooden board parted, and suddenly several people stood up, and the two in front were young men and a woman. The two young men were both wearing the most ordinary clothes, but they looked extraordinary. followed by several middle-aged people, who also had extraordinary bearing. "Mr. Sembi, it seems that this infiltration has failed. The girl said to the middle-aged man, not loudly.
"Miss, it's not a failure, now that we've reached the coast of the Hyput Kingdom, we can enter it while we have a small boat, and I'm sure we'll be able to contact the organization soon. The middle-aged man also whispered: "I believe that we will soon establish a new system in this country." "As long as we can get information, that's fine. The girl said.
After a few words, they stood up and walked to the door of the warehouse, where they could be clearly seen by the light of the lights in the hands of the people at the entrance. "There are actually women?!" Seeing that a young girl appeared on the boat, there was a low-level priest of the inspection team, and his face changed drastically.
You must know that according to the rules of the sea god they believe in, there must be no women in the sea voyage, otherwise there will be bad luck.
Although there is no such rule in the caravans of other kingdoms on the mainland, in the merchant ships controlled by the sea god, this rule must be strictly observed.
In their impression, as long as there is a woman who works on a merchant ship, the merchant ship where it is located will basically be doomed!"Quick, go in and catch them! After grabbing the woman, throw her directly into the sea!" The patrol captain carried a kind of anger and panic. angry, yelling.
"Alas, I didn't want to use force, you (8) want to find death, then we have no way, just fulfill you. It was this girl who spoke, and as she said this, her petite body began to float upward.
The young man beside her, although he did not float upward, began to change his appearance like the girl. A pair of ears that originally looked normal were quickly pulled up. "Ah, they're not people!" a sailor suddenly pointed at them, and shouted, "They are elves!" as he shouted, his eyes full of fear. The people who heard this name also looked panicked. "That's right, we're elves!" The young man drew his sword violently: "Kill, kill him all!" The sword roared, slashing through the air. The first mate screamed, "No, we didn't know there was such a thing!" "Shut up, if you are still a believer in the god of the sea, kill these elves and rebels!" "The patrol captain roared and drew his sword.
The sword flashed, and one of the inspectors at the front snorted, blood splattered, and he fell heavily to the ground. At this time, the first mate ran back violently, and sounded the alarm gong fiercely at the corner of the passage. At this time, the patrol captain let out a loud roar, and blood splattered from his shoulder.
This captain, who was also a warrior, had fought on decks, islands, and coasts, but at this time, he had a sense of fear. The fighting skills of the opponent's elves were sharp and deadly, and even he felt that the opponent had not used all his strength.
The slicing sound of the sword cutting through flesh filled the hallway, eerie, and the smell was disgusting, but to the captain, he stepped back in embarrassment.
At that moment, a barrel toppled over, and he rolled in despair, and the next moment, a long sword pierced him. The sailors on the ship, alarmed, could not help but be shocked when they saw such a situation.
With a "poof", a magic missile passed directly through the chest of the sailor at the front, and then pierced into the second one, splashing blood on the ground.
The girl elf shrugged and said, "It's miserable...... In the ship, this is not good, large-scale magic cannot be used, and if you are not careful, you will suffer yourself. ”
"It's a magician!" the sailors who rushed in suddenly lost their courage, and they shouted frantically, turned and fled.
The two elves followed unhurriedly, screaming one after another, and then they were born.
From behind his footsteps, there were corpses one after another, horizontal and vertical.
Almost no after
"Luckily, we're back on the boat, otherwise, I don't know how long we'll be able to survive.
"In the sky, the sun is high in the sky, and a caravan from the Kingdom of Eske is sailing on the route that has been opened.
They had just returned from another kingdom, and they were to follow this route, passing through the harbor of Yuanfan, and returning to the royal capital.
On their ship, all the goods that are currently scarce in the royal capital are transported, and as long as they reach there safely, they will make a fortune. The route has been closed for so long, and many merchants are about to go bankrupt, just waiting for this day!
"Yes, if we don't start work, we will all starve to death, fortunately, the war has passed, and we can live a peaceful life again, it's not easy. "A few sailors were basking in the sun on the deck, and the rare peaceful life made them feel very comfortable. "It's time, I heard that there is one of the nine coastal countries that has not signed an agreement with the elves, has it?" said a sailor as he remembered the news he had gotten.
"Yes? There seems to be such a thing, but it has nothing to do with us, even if they can fight, it is none of our business, except for the kingdom of the sea god, the other eight countries, including our kingdom, have already signed an agreement, and the routes of the eight countries are enough for us to eat.
"Besides, we can't compare with them, they believe in the god of the sea, and of course they don't make trouble on the sea. Another sailor said sourly, "We must have peace before we can trade." ”
"It's true, but as a businessman, the Taiping route is the most important." Isn't it? Anyway, I don't want any more wars. The sailor before said, "We all work hard to eat, we work for merchants, I don't know anything but the skill of navigation, and if there is no caravan to go to sea, no one hires us, we will all starve to death The others listened and nodded again and again."
At this moment, a sailor suddenly pointed to a few ships in front of him and said, "Look, you really mean who is coming, you see the flags of these ships, isn't it the caravan blessed by the god of the sea?"
The experienced boatswain, seeing the problem at a glance, hurriedly said, "Quick, report to the captain, that there is a situation ahead!" and "Yes!"
