Chapter 164: Runaway Princess
Mo Lin's eyes were quick, and he reached out and grabbed the knife in his hand, otherwise John's chest would be afraid that a bloody hole would be opened.
John sat on the ground with a frightened butt, his teeth "clicking" straight into the fight.
There was an exclamation in the door, wanting to pull the knife back, but Mo Lin's hand was like an iron tong, and he couldn't easily pull it away.
"Princess, it's me!" It was only then that John came to his senses and said in a trembling voice.
The force of the knife disappeared immediately, and a female voice sounded in the middle of the night.
"John, is that you? What about the pirates chasing us? The voice was crisp, as light as a lark in a valley, and it was a young woman when she heard it.
"Princess, the pirates have been driven away, and we are safe." John got up and said.
"Really?" The woman who was called the princess inside the door was still a little skeptical.
"It's true, this traveler named Mo Lin drove the pirates out for us." John pointed at the knife in Molin's hand and motioned for him to let go.
Mo Lin let go of his hand, and the knife slowly withdrew into the door. A moment later, the small crack in the door finally opened, and a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes and fair skin appeared in the doorway, still holding a knife in her hand and protecting her chest.
When Mo Lin saw this woman, he didn't think there was anything special. It was Ling Huzi and Yueyao behind him who let out a soft exclamation of "ah" in unison, it seems that girls are very sensitive to beautiful women.
"You drove the pirates away?" The woman's eyes fell on Mo Lin's body, looking him up and down, with a curious expression.
"It's me." Mo Lin nodded, John called this woman a princess, and the purpose of those pirates chasing the big ship seemed to be this woman, obviously her identity was not simple. Mo Lin wants to find the Dragon Ball on the mainland, and she may be able to help.
"I've never seen anyone like you......" the woman hesitated, "...... It's ugly. ”
"Uh......" Everyone felt the temperature in the cabin drop all of a sudden, could she speak, and was this attitude towards the savior?
Ling Huzi and Yueyao were dissatisfied, she said that Mo Lin was ugly, didn't she mean that the two girls who loved Mo Lin had no vision. The two girls were still a little envious of this woman's appearance, but when they heard this, they immediately became angry with the enemy.
"Princess, he saved us." John's face was already covered with blood, and he was scared out of sweat by the woman's words, and said with a wry smile.
"Come in." The woman pursed her lips, apparently not taking John's words seriously.
Mo Lin frowned slightly, he didn't like this rude woman very much. Although it is not clear what kind of lifestyle the people of this continent have, the woman's eyes are really disgusting.
"Come out, waste." The woman walked into the cabin and slammed into a bed in the room.
There was a sound under the bed, and after a while, the head of a fat old man came out, and he looked at several people in the room with trepidation, and hesitated to climb out.
"Captain...... How do you hide under the bed? John said in surprise.
"This old piece of waste, when he heard that the pirates were going to catch up, hid." The woman said indignantly.
"I ......" the captain wiped the sweat from his forehead, his ugliness was seen in his eyes, and he had nothing to say.
"I now announce that Brückchet has been relieved of his duties as captain, and that John will temporarily act as captain." The woman pointed to John.
"Acting Captain?" John's expression went from surprise to joy, and he was clearly excited.
The former captain of the ship, Brückei, slumped obscenely on the ground, crying and silent.
"Take him out and let him work with the sailors on deck. By the way, you told the sailors that when they returned to shore, each of them had a bounty of five gold coins. Then the woman said to John.
John succeeded him as captain and became more motivated. He picked up Brückei, led him out of the cabin, and went up to the deck to announce the woman's order.
Until this moment, Mo Lin vaguely felt that the woman in front of her did have a habit of commanding, and her momentum when she spoke was obviously not an ordinary person, could she really be a princess as John said?
When John went out, the woman sat on the bed, looked at Mo Lin a few more times, and suddenly said, "Now that I'm used to it, you're quite pleasing to the eye." ”
Ling Huzi and Yueyao were originally very angry, seeing that this woman was not pleasing to the eye, and when they heard her say this again, they immediately looked at each other, and secretly thought that she would not fall in love with my Molin. Thinking so, the two women invariably approached Mo Lin's side, which clearly meant to tell the woman: This is my man, don't you want to rob it.
The woman looked at Ling Huzi and Yue Yao with interest, and there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, but she quickly reverted to her self-righteous appearance and said, "I am Princess Rowling of the Kulanyi Kingdom, and I allow you to sit down now." ”
Ling Huzi and Yue Yao both had a chill on their faces, and they were about to find two words to choke on this unknown princess, but they were pulled by Mo Lin's arm and pressed on the chair in the room together.
Waiting for Mo Lin to sit down, Rowling stared at him and said, "You fought off the pirates alone?" As far as I know, the pirate chasing this ship is the famous one-eyed dragon Luke, the number one pirate in the Western Seas, who has defeated a fleet. How could you defeat him and his minions alone. ”
Rowling's words were really a bit unpleasant, but Mo Lin purely regarded her as an ignorant child, and he didn't bother to get angry, but simply said that he was born with great strength, and defeated the one-eyed dragon Luke first, and the other pirates fled.
"Well, capture the thief and capture the king first, you do this very in line with the art of war." Rowling said thoughtfully, "For the sake of your great achievements, I can give you some rewards." What do you want, money, land, or women? ”
The last option was clearly a provocation, making Hu Zi and Yue Yao both stared at each other, and the eyes of the three women collided in the room unscrupulously, and Mo Lin could almost feel the sparks that rubbed out.
"I'm just a traveler, and I'm not going to ask for any rewards." Mo Lin said busily.
"So where are you from, tell me about it." Rowling was curious.
"It's fine. But I have one condition. Mo Lin said.
"Conditions?" Probably no one has ever dared to put the word "condition" in front of Rowling, she was about to have a seizure as soon as she raised her eyebrows, but somehow she endured it, and said to Molin: "Tell me about it." ”
"The princess also wants to tell me about the customs here, how about we make an exchange?" Mo Lin has long been confident.
"No problem." Rowling thought that Mo Lin had some excessive reward, but when she heard that it was just an introduction to the customs, she immediately agreed.
So Mo Lin and Luo Lin chatted word by word, and during the conversation, Mo Lin gradually knew the current situation and the details of the mainland.
Sure enough, this is the black soil demon state in the north where the octopus once became, and the undercurrent under the sea sent Mo Lin here by mistake, and it seems that he is destined to take the Wood Dragon Ball first.
Thinking that although the Wood Dragon Ball was restrained by the Fire Dragon Ball, it should be able to restore the vitality of the Chixian Divine Prefecture Continent, Mo Lin felt that this trip was not in vain.
The continent of the Black Earth Demon State is divided into two parts, the north is the territory of the Kurani Kingdom, and the south is the Varro Principality.
"Since the kingdom of Kuranyi is in the north, why does the ship sail south?" Mo Lin asked strangely.
Rowling pouted: "Why do you have so many questions?" ”
Mo Lin saw that Rowling's face was different, and it was inconvenient to ask more. He'd already asked where it was anyway, and if he came, he was going to start looking for the Wooden Dragon Ball.
"I have one last question." In order to find the Wood Dragon Ball, Mo Lin had to talk to Rowling a few more words.
"Just ask." Rowling pouted, in fact, her appearance is very beautiful, her blonde hair is soft and flowing, her complexion is fair, and her facial features are deep, which has a completely different charm from the beauties on the continent of Chixian Shenzhou.
The only fly in the ointment is that Rowling's personality is really not likeable, otherwise Mo Lin would be happy to talk to her more.
"There is a red dragon on the Shenzhou Continent in Chixian County, I wonder if there is a dragon here?" Mo Lin said.
"Dragons?" Rowling raised her head slightly, thought for a moment and shook her head, "I've heard of evil dragons in fairy tales, but I've never heard of anyone ever seen a real dragon. ”
"No dragons?" Mo Lin was stunned, and Ling Huzi and Yueyao on the side were also a little nervous.
Isn't there a dragon on every continent, and the dragon ball is hidden in the dragon's body. Where did the dragons of the Black Earth Demon State go?
Mo Lin was afraid that Rowling was talking nonsense, so she asked a few more times, but the answer she got was still the same: she had never heard of anyone seeing a dragon.
"Could it be that the habits of the dragons here are different from those of the red dragons, and they are very low-key?" Mo Lin thought to himself.
Although Rowling categorically said that there were no dragons, Mo Lin still decided to visit the Black Earth Demon Prefecture in person, and if he couldn't find the Wood Dragon Ball, he wouldn't leave.
"When will this ship get ashore, we want to go to land and see." Mo Lin finally said.
Rowling pouted: "I wish I would never dock." ”
Mo Lin didn't know where to offend the princess's delicate temper, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, so he glanced at Ling Hu Zi and Yue Yao, and slipped out.
"This woman is so boring." The fox's purple face was like frost.
"yes, that's rude." Yue Yao said on the side.
I don't know if it's because of the same life and death, or in the face of Rowling's common hatred, Mo Lin was surprised to find that the two women, who were still a little jealous of each other before, actually reached a united front, and I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow.
The two women finally had a common topic, and they chattered non-stop. Mo Lin went straight to the deck, and at a glance he saw the former captain, the timid Mr. Brücksey, pouting his big ass and wiping the blood left on the deck.
The new captain, John, is directing the sailors to repair the damage on the ship. The sails have been raised, the helmsman is repairing its course, and the big ship is adjusting its course, and it seems that it is about to sail to its original destination.
"John, where are we going?" Mo Lin came to John's side and asked while he was free.
John took out a nautical chart, spread it out and pointed out to Mo Lin: "We have departed from York Harbour in the Kingdom of Kuranyi, from north to south, and now we have deviated from the course of forty-five degrees, and I am correcting the course to the treasure harbor of the Duchy of Varro. ”
"Why go to Treasure Harbor?" Mo Lin said strangely, since Rowling is the princess of the Kulanyi Kingdom, why did she go to the Duchy of Valo.
"Ahem, you're just a traveler, don't bother with these things." John's expression was a little embarrassed, and it seemed that there must be some inside story in it.
Mo Lin wasn't a curious person, and he didn't plan to ask again. Anyway, as long as he went to land, he didn't care if it was the Kingdom of Kuranyi or the Duchy of Varro. However, he still has to ask about the dragon again, lest that Rowling is a pampered princess hidden in the deep palace, and she doesn't know what is happening in the people.
Unfortunately, no matter what Mo Lin asked, John and the other sailors on board said that they had only heard about dragons from fairy tales, but had never heard of anyone who had ever seen a real dragon.
This time, Mo Lin was completely confused, could it be that there were no dragons in the Black Earth Demon State?
The front was covered with fog, first he was separated from Xiaobai, and inexplicably came to the Black Earth Demon State, and now he couldn't find any trace of the dragon at all, Mo Lin sat on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, and his mind had already flown to tens of thousands of miles away.
Night soon came, and the sea was windy and cool.
"Brother Mo Lin, John arranged a room in the bilge for us, Sister Ah Zi is cooking, she told you to go down and eat." Yue Yao walked onto the deck and came to Mo Lin's side.
Mo Lin said "hmm" in his mouth, but he didn't move. He looked at the stars in the sky and found that the stars here were completely different from those in Chixian Shenzhou, and many stars he had never seen before.
"Brother Mo Lin, are you worrying about Dragon Ball?" Yueyao asked.
Mo Lin nodded and said, "They all said that they hadn't heard of the existence of dragons, are we mistaken, is it that there have never been dragons here?" ”
Yue Yao tilted her head and thought for a while, "If there were no dragons in the past, how could there be dragons in their fairy tales?" ”
A word woke up the dreamer, Mo Lin looked at Yue Yao in a daze, and suddenly laughed. He patted his head, knowing that he had gotten into the horns.
"You're right, if there had never been a dragon, there would have been no fairy tales. Maybe the dragon here died a long, long time ago, and we just need to find out where the dragon's remains are. Once he got the hang of it, Mo Lin immediately had an idea.
"Now you can go to dinner, Sister Zi's cooking smells delicious." Yue Yao said with a smile, she was extremely proud that she could help Mo Lin solve the problem in her heart.
"Sister Zi......" Mo Lin looked at Yue Yao, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but in fact, Yue Yao, who was already thirty years old, decided to keep her mouth shut and not wade into the muddy waters of a woman's age.
Yueyao is right, Ling Huzi's cooking skills are indeed great. The ingredients stored on the ship are very abundant, there are several vegetables and fruits that Mo Lin has never seen before, Ling Huzi simply asked the chef on the ship, and made a table full of good dishes with unpleasant seasonings.
"It's almost as good as that kid in the Mirror." Mo Lin tasted it and said with praise.
Ling Huzi pouted: "Am I not as good as him?" ”
"Uh......" Mo Lin knew he had said the wrong thing, "Well, you all have your own strengths." ”
"Forget it, your face will turn red as soon as you lie." Linghu Zi snickered.
Mo Lin didn't think that being teased by Ling Huzi like this would really turn red. However, he still said stupidly: "That kid Liejing has no merits, but he is very good at cooking." If I settle down in the future, I want to partner with him to open a restaurant, he will be the master chef in charge, and I will serve the dishes. ”
Ling Huzi didn't make fun of it this time, but instead held her chin, as if she was fantasizing about Mo Lin's description in her mind.
Yue Yao also clapped her hands and smiled: "I also want to serve the plate." ”
"With a beautiful girl like you serving the plates, no matter how unpalatable the dishes are, business will definitely be booming." Mo Lin said.
After the storm, they were just getting their hands on it. Although I don't know where Xiaobai and they went, my tense mood has finally eased somewhat.
Although he had eaten fruits before, in the face of Ling Huzi's good skills, Mo Lin still feasted on it, and just after eating the second bowl of rice, there was a knock on the door.
Yueyao went to open the door, and saw John standing in the doorway.
"Please come in." Yue Yao let John in, and Mo Lin saw that he was carrying two red bottles in his hands, and he didn't know what they contained.
"These are two fine bottles of wine, thank you for saving the lives of our entire ship today." John passed the bottle into Morin's hand.
"Wine?" Without waiting for Mo Lin to thank her, Yue Yao took a bottle curiously, unscrewed the stopper on it and sniffed it.
"It smells so good." Yueyao said happily.
Ling Huzi also took it and smelled it, only to feel a burst of sweet fragrance in his nose, which had a different flavor than the spirits in the mainland of Chixian Shenzhou.
"It's a sweet wine to drink, and the two ladies can also taste it." John laughed.
"Then let's have a drink together." Mo Lin invited John to sit down and poured four glasses of wine.
Ling Hu Zi and Yue Yao took a sip first, praising the taste of the wine, and Ling Hu Zi also asked John about the brewing method of this wine. John is a warm-hearted person, and he is grateful to Mo Lin, so he naturally knows everything.
Everyone chatted happily, and soon the two bottles of wine were drunk. For Mo Lin, who is used to drinking spirits, this wine is of course nothing, but Ling Hu Zi and Yue Yao are already dizzy, although John is a sailor who has been adrift at sea all the year round, the amount of alcohol is very average, and his speech is a little stammering.
Seeing that John was already drunk, Mo Lin was about to send him back to his room to rest, but he saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Do you know why we want to go to the Duchy of Varro?" ”
Mo Lin had asked this question during the day, but John did not answer, as if there was some mysterious inside story. Now that he seemed to be drunk, he took the initiative to bring it up, Mo Lin shook his head, and said with interest: "Why?" ”
"I'm telling you secretly, don't spread it." John's mystical way.
"You say, I won't pass it out." Mo Lin said.
"The princess ran out secretly, and she took a lot of dowry and went to Treasure Harbor to elope with her mistress." John Dao.
"Poof......" Mo Lin almost squirted out a sip of wine just after drinking it in his mouth, he coughed, and said in his heart that this secret is indeed shocking enough, the princess of a dignified country actually went to another country to elope with her lover, and I really can't see that the arrogant Rowling is so brave and romantic.
"Do you know who your lover is?" John asked mysteriously, "It's a big man!" ”
Mo Lin knew that he would not be able to help but tell the secret, so he took the opportunity to say, "I don't know." ”
"It's the number two man in the Duchy of Varro, the Marquis of Drenthe." John said, "This matter is very troublesome, which is why pirates come to hunt down the princess." ”
"Oh?" Mo Lin didn't know what was going on, and he thought that the one-eyed dragon Luke had asked him if he was from the Marquis de Murrah or Prince Arthur, and it seemed that it had something to do with it.
Seeing Mo Lin's bewildered face, John's pleasure of selling Guan Zi came to his heart, and he said proudly: "The princess has a fiancé, that is, Prince Arthur of the Kuranyi Kingdom. As soon as she fled like this, Prince Arthur's face was lost, and of course he was very unhappy. ”
"That's ......" Mo Lin thought to himself that being cuckolded would not be tolerated as long as it was a man, and it was understandable for Prince Arthur to hunt down Rowling.
"Then there's the Marquis de Murah, who is another person in the Duchy of Varro who is likely to inherit the Duke's power. If the princess is really with the Marquis of Drenthe, it is equivalent to having the support of the Kingdom of Kuranyi, then the Marquis de Mura is in danger. John laughed.
"There are so many doorways." Mo Lin, this is the relationship between them, which is complicated. However, these political issues are not of interest to him, he just wants to find the Dragon Ball and leave quickly, and he doesn't want to get involved in this mess.
"Anyway, this trip will be very dangerous, maybe all of us on the ship will have to bury the princess." John's mood suddenly fell, and then he grabbed Mo Lin's hand tightly and said: "Please save us, there are dozens of sailors on the ship, all of whom have wives and children, if we die, our wives and children will have nothing to eat." ”
Mo Lin found out that John hadn't drunk much at all, he came over to drink, and pretended to be drunk and revealed so much information, just for the last request.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm on the ship, no one will hurt you." Mo Lin felt that this was just a handy effort, so he should accept it.
With Mo Lin's words, John was relieved. He swore that on behalf of the sailors of the whole ship, he expressed his gratitude to Mo Lin, and then left satisfied.
"Fooled, right?" Ling Huzi, who had been lying on the table slightly drunk, raised his head and asked Mo Lin with a smile.
"You're not drunk either?" Mo Lin looked at Ling Huzi with a wry smile, knowing that she had already sensed that something was wrong.
"Yueyao is really drunk." Ling Huzi pointed to Yue Yao, who was sleeping beside him.
"What a little guy who doesn't drink much." Mo Lin reluctantly picked up Yueyao and put her on the bed, she didn't drink much, but unfortunately the amount of alcohol was very poor, she was completely drunk and didn't have any consciousness.
Putting Yueyao on the bed, Mo Lin saw her face red because of drunkenness, and had the urge to kiss her. But Ling Huzi was still by his side, and Mo Lin finally held back.
After settling Yueyao, as soon as Mo Lin turned around, he saw Linghu looking over with autumn water in his purple eyes.
Mo Lin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, Yue Yao, who was drunk, was negligible, and there were only him and Ling Huzi in the room.
Looking closely at Ling Huzi's flushed face because of alcohol, the dripping cherry lips, and the graceful figure, Mo Lin only felt hot and dry, and wanted to take Ling Huzi into his arms and keep it warm.
At this time, the scenery came, and the hull of the ship shook violently.
Yueyao, who was sleeping on the bed, fell down, but continued to sleep sweetly as if nothing happened.
"I'll go up and have a look." This violent shaking made Mo Lin's heart clear, and he asked Linghu Zi to look at Yue Yao, fly out, and go straight to the deck.
