3. Sea ghosts

"Hey, you don't know, I rode on a cow for the annual hunt... I held a hammer bigger than my head and 'bang' it knocked over a black bear twice as thick as a mast. ”

"Hahahaha, that's... Come, drink. ”

"Grandpa, grandpa."

The Sardinian women's wine table, which had been drunk for three rounds, had begun to move towards chaos, not only was the food on the table spilled everywhere, but the crew had no desire to eat anything at all, and basically everyone was drinking, talking, joking and even singing with each other with a wine glass.

In the midst of this rather chaotic scene, Karma, Holly, and Dotted are no knee-high as the others, and when they have eaten their fill, they start running around again.

But Emhart shrank back, and the steel knife stayed on the mast, and they had nothing to do but go to their grandfather.

They crossed the thighs of the wood-like crew, and finally found their grandfather, Old Jack, near the edge of the deck, with a little flush on his not-so-old face, laughing with Pahertz across from him with a glass of wine.

Karma was the first to emerge from the crew, and she glanced curiously at Old Jack, then at the fat granny across from her, and then stopped where she was.

"Karma, let's go, it's so crowded here..."

Karma glanced at Old Jack and Pahertz again, then turned to look at Holly and Dotted behind him, and then raised a finger rather seriously,

"Shhh The plan has changed, let's retreat, don't disturb grandpa. ”

"Huh?"

In the distance, Fisher and Aragina were still sitting at the table, and she had drunk a lot, but she was noticeably less drinker than Fisher.

At this moment, her fair skin was as attractive as a layer of pink foundation, but fortunately, she was still conscious, and she didn't say any nonsense, just recalling her previous story and telling it to Fisher.

"My mother... She is a very rough woman, and when she falls in love with any man, she likes to knock them unconscious and take them back to the room to force her to have sex with them. There are many men who are victims of this, but at most, she will only maintain interest in one man for a year, and she loses this interest after she gives birth to a child. And my father was a down-and-out nobleman with beautiful gray hair, and it was my mother who took a fancy to this and attacked him..."

"My mother had been passionate about him for the longest time, more than any other man, but my father could not bear such humiliation, and seldom gave her a good look, and she fought my father for it. Finally, when I was five years old, his hatred for my mother outweighed his love for me, and he jumped into the frozen lake alone, leaving me alone. ”

In fact, the power of the feudal kings of the Sardinia women's kingdom was very large, and these feudal kings listened to the words of the female co-lord in ancient times, but the more they went on, the more limited the power of the co-lord became, and they could not even interfere in the affairs of the feudal country.

As a recent example, when the female co-ruler was angered by Schwally's human trafficking, she ordered the feudal state to impose restrictions on Schwally.

But as soon as the order came, several sub-feudal countries along the coast and had deep trade with Schwali did not respond to this order, but each sent a letter of explanation to her, using various excuses as a shield to fight with the co-owner haha, some people said that the man their daughter married was Schwally's, and some people said that their lover was Schwali's, which made the co-owner angry enough.

It seems that Arajina's mother is one of the more freewheeling of these, and this has caused a lot of trauma in her childhood, causing her to resent her mother to the point of killing her and wandering around the world.

Hearing Alajina's story, Yin Sabel next to her involuntarily reached out to her, obviously also moved by Alajina's past.

She suddenly thought of her sister Yin Lizabeth, they had similar feelings, but unlike Arajina, she was not resentful enough to want to kill her sister.

So, what was it that she resented that she wanted to escape from St. Nari?

Yin Sabel couldn't get an answer, perhaps, it was she who resented herself?

Resentment that he has no ability to interfere in his family's strife, resentment that he was protected too well by his sister and didn't find anything, resentment that he didn't grow up earlier, and still hide in the palm of his sister's hand as a princess in a fairy tale...

Thinking of this, Yin Sabel's lips were slightly bitter, she stared at the empty wine glass in front of her, and for the first time reached out to pour some wine into it, so that she could taste the smell of alcohol that she had never tasted before.

The dark wheat beer gradually filled the glass, but in the center of the glass there were constant ripples, and she thought that one of the crew members next to her was drunk and touched the table, but when she turned her head to look around, all the crew members did not approach Arajina and Fisher, and provided them with a good opportunity to flirt.

It's not the table that's shaking, it's the boat shaking?

"Boom!"

Just when Yin Sabel thought it was her own delusion, the whole ship trembled in the next second, and all the crew members let out an exclamation at the same time, the food and wine glasses on the table were shaken and knocked over, Alajina and Fisher's faces changed slightly, and both of them subconsciously wanted to protect the people around them.

Fisher grabbed Yin Sabel's back with one hand, and Arajina grabbed Arajina's back with the other, and Aragina grabbed the clothes directly on Fisher's chest.

This subconscious action made the two of them look at each other, especially Arajina, who glanced at where she had touched Fisher, and moved her hand to his shoulder with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's fine."

Fisher looked down to make sure there was no second shake before he deduced,

"There's something under the water."

Fisher let go of Yin Sabel and squeezed through the crowd with Arajina to the edge of the deck and looked below the hull.

The water was still so dark at night, but the sea was rough and rough, as if it had been stirred by something.

Ossie on the mast didn't know when she had already stood up, looking at the sea from afar, and the next second, she jumped lightly and landed next to Arajina as if she had no weight.

At this time, when she got closer, Fisher realized that the upper half of her face looked very young, but she was very tall, about 1.75 meters.

The height range of adult female blue birds in the north is generally 1.7 to 1.8 meters, and those in the southern continent are only 1.5 to 1.6 meters.

With her short white hair, and her beautiful face half obscured by an unseemly robe, she stared at the calm waters, and then spoke before Fisher for the first time.

"[Sea Ghost]..."

Her voice doesn't fluctuate, and her tone is very similar to that of Arajina, but her timbre is not as mature as Arajina's, and she sounds much younger.

"Sea ghosts?"

After hearing her words, Fisher carefully looked at the dark sea below, and under the water, there seemed to be some kind of huge creature passing through, but because it was too dark, he could not see very clearly.

But it's not like he hasn't heard of this term Ossie said, whether it's Jasmine or Reina when they were scared, but at the time he just thought that the thing was like a ghost in the sea, it was all illusory and couldn't see the specific shape, but he didn't expect it to be real.

At this moment, the book knight Emhart also emerged from Fisher's pocket, and looked at the shadow under the water with admiration,

"Ah, yes, it's a sea ghost who floated ashore to breathe. There are many strange-looking, huge-sized creatures in the ocean, and the sea ghost is one of them, and this kind of thing is a well-known predator in the water, and it is very powerful. However, their activity area is usually the deep sea, and they rarely appear on the water, and only near the winter when they will surface to breathe. ”

At this time, Pahertz, who was holding a glass of wine next to him and leaning against the fence, smiled with a red face and picked up the words,

There is no mistake

"That's right, we used to sail to the North Ocean to hunt this kind of monster in the winter, but we only met it once in ten or eight years, but I didn't expect to encounter it in the South China Sea this time... The sea ghost has a lot of treasures on its body, its teeth can be used as ornaments and weapons, and it has a magical material in its body that is twenty times more valuable than gold. Such a large one is worth more than robbing a Schwali merchant ship three times. ”

As she spoke, she naturally reached out and put her arms around Old Jack's shoulder next to her, and then patted him on the chest,

"Mr. Jack, we're going to get rich, just a few days away."

At this time, Old Jack drank high, and he didn't realize that the woman next to him was a Mengnu from the Sardinia Women's Country, and he only regarded the other party as a friend who was drinking.

After hearing Pahertz's words, he squinted his eyes at the sea in the distance, and finally saw the behemoth hidden in the water in the gradually clear moonlight.

It turned out to be a giant creature with the shape of a fish, and its overall color was mainly pure black, but its skin was not as smooth as that of youyu, but hard and uneven like volcanic rock.

"Bang bang.."

Behind it dragged countless huge tentacles of different lengths, and as it faded away, the steel-like tentacles gently slapped against the base of the Iceberg Queen, making a crisp sound.

All the crew members looked at the giant beast that was moving away with their eyes shining, and after a second of pause, Aragina decisively stretched out her hand and gave the order,

"Everyone, the Iceberg Queen immediately moved forward at half speed, and the night shift was changed from two shifts to four shifts, so be sure to keep up with the pace of the Shanghai ghosts."

"Yes!"

Old Jack was awakened a little by the excited response and the sea breeze around him, he shook his head, and heard that the captain next to him wanted to chase the giant monster with the boat, he couldn't even care about being rubbed with oil by Pahertz, and hurriedly said,

"Wait, so we're going to catch that giant sea monster now?"

Pahertz drunkenly approached Old Jack, and then looked at the huge sea ghost that was getting closer under the bright moon, stretched out his hand and made a simple gesture twice, as if describing to him a moving mountain of gold,

"Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Jack. Of course, we are not going to catch it now, this sea ghost has just surfaced, and it is still in its peak state. But for the next few days, it has to endure the low pressure on the surface of the sea to expel the exhaust gases from its body, and it has to store the air it needs on the bottom of the sea, and this process will take at least two or three days..."

"We're just going to wait until it's at the end of the crossbow and has to go back to the bottom of the sea. That's what it said, take advantage of its illness and kill it... Don't worry, I'll buy you a gold chain with the money I fell. ”

Old Jack opened his mouth, and his head filled with alcohol suddenly turned in circles, so that he didn't know for a moment whether to complain about fighting sea ghosts, or about Pahertz's desire to give him a gold chain.
