4. Dependents (2-in-1)

"Woo!"

In the morning, on the wide ocean, the Iceberg Queen was chasing after a giant beast not far behind, and the giant beast in front of it made a "whining" sound like a huge blower from its body as it walked.

At the place where the sea ghost came into contact with the water, because it was constantly sucking in the air above the sea, the huge suction force formed a huge whirlpool on its back that was constantly rotating forward, stirring the restless seawater, so that the other small fish and shrimp below the surface of the sea were frightened away by this terrifying battle.

"Ha, this guy has already started to inhale, it looks like he will be ready to do it tomorrow..."

Since last night, this huge sea ghost that appeared on the surface of the sea has expelled all the residual exhaust gases in his body, and the front of the entire Iceberg Queen outside is as noisy as a moving sea volcano, but this has not affected the enthusiasm of the crew in the slightest.

Because this also indicates that today and tomorrow, the sea ghost has entered the inhalation stage, which is the most exhausting part of the sea ghost's physical strength, and when it is full of breath and ready to sink again, it is the day when the crew starts to withdraw money.

At this time, the fat first mate Pahertz was standing at the door of the captain's room, staring at the sea ghost in front of her with the telescope in her hand, and after confirming its current state, she said to Arajina behind her without looking back.

But after this question, Alagina behind her did not reply.

The sudden silence made Pahertz put down the telescope in his hand and looked back at Aragina with some confusion,

"Captain?"

Behind her, in the cold-enveloped captain's room, Aragina was sitting in her chair with her legs crossed, staring sideways at a magically wrapped messenger transmitter on the table.

The steam messenger is a very typical combination of magic and steam, and its magic part is very similar to the composition of messenger magic, except that the magic it engraves is a wide range of magic that points to a lot of objects, can select multiple messenger targets at the same time, and has high security, so it is often used for military command and maritime communication.

As an example, every time the Nari Pioneer Company's ships go to sea, this kind of notification magic machine is loaded with this kind of notification magic machine, because there is no normal communication equipment at sea, either in flag language or in body language.

This magic machine comes in handy when the ships within two businesses need to communicate, or when there is a danger, disaster, or need to call for help somewhere.

Pirates from Pirate Harbor are also equipped with this thing, but pirates only use it to exchange bounty orders and mission information, and when Pirate Harbor needs to make an urgent announcement, they use it to send the message to each captain.

At this time, Arajina was staring at the magic machine with a serious face, and as the magic crest on the machine became brighter and brighter, the gears in it also spun rapidly under the wrapping of steam.

Pahertz walked in with the telescope in his hand, and was also attracted by the constantly glowing instrument, so he asked,

"What's the big news at sea again? I'll see, oh... Nari... News... Reward... Her father, which big guy has escaped? Or is there about to be five pirates at sea? The guys at Pirate Harbor are right, sooner or later there will be a fifth of the 'Big Four'. ”

In order to ensure the efficiency of the information sent, the instrument is usually designed with two headline classifications before the news is delivered.

The first title is "Source of Information", as the literal meaning suggests, indicating that the source of this information is Nari; The second is [information type], which explains the nature of the news, and there are two copies, one is news and the other is a bounty.

Arajina's expression didn't change, because the next moment, the machine spat out two documents printed with Nari characters, the first one was the Pirate Harbor document, which recorded a piece of news that the Pirate Harbor wanted all the captains to pay attention to,

"With the death of King Narigodlin IX, the new Queen Elisabeth Yin has ascended the throne in St. Nari on October 15, called 'Godlin X'"

"At the same time, the situation in the Nari Sea has been complicated recently, and the Pirate Harbor has ordered the Bounty Hall to cancel all the bounty missions near the Nari Sea, but those that have been completed are not listed, and the captain can still return to receive the bounty. The situation in the South China Sea is volatile, please pay attention to your own safety. ”

Pahertz stood behind Arajina and read the document with her, touching her chin and thinking,

"Ah, I didn't expect Nari to have a first queen, according to their habit of only passing on male thrones, this queen's accession to the throne must not be easy... The second prince rebelled, and the eldest prince was injured, and anyone who guessed this kind of thing knew that it would not be true. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not..."

Aragina looked at the news in her hand and shook her head, commenting on the news that came,

"The key factor in Elizabeth Yoon's becoming queen is that she has gained the trust of the majority. For the Nari, it doesn't matter if Prince Dexter was actually killed by Lensis or framed to death by Elizabeth, the key factor in Elizabeth's victory is that the people trust her more than Dexter and the others."

And for other nobles in high positions, this statement is even more nonsense, and anyone understands that Yin Lizabeth is the winner of the struggle. Now that the game is decided, there is no such thing as regrets, and the only thing they can do is to think about how to keep the cake they already have, or how to get more of it. ”

Pahertz nodded approvingly, but looking at Alagina who was sitting in her seat, she suddenly felt some pity.

For if the Partition King had been better for her and her father at the time, then Arajina must have been a suitable heir...

Well, but not necessarily.

After all, as Arajina's teacher, Pahertz knew best that Arajina didn't have great ambitions in her heart, and even now it was good.

Beneath that letter, there was a long list of new policies that Elizabeth had "agreed" with the New Party, most of which were changes to the ills of the past, including the redistricting of St. Nari and the protection of the country's peasant products, but none of these were of concern to Arajina.

She put down the news in her hand, and there was a message below, but this was not a Pirate Harbor document, and the intricate gold pattern engraved on it had already indicated that this document was sent directly from the Nari Golden Palace.

"Well, I'll take a look at this one. Reward... Bounty on Fisher Benavides! Bounty... Ten million Nario?!

Is there any mistake, there are 2.5 million euros more than us, is that guy Yin Lizabeth's treasure, so valuable? ”

Aragina did not respond, her eyes were fixed on the portrait of Fisher Benavides under the bounty notice, and at the bottom of the portrait she wrote:

Fisher Benavides held the venerable Princess Insabel Godlin hostage, and if he could bring the two of them back to Nari alive, not only would he receive all the bounties, but the Golden Palace would make an exception to grant him a knighthood.

As soon as Aragina finished reading the bounty order, a biting cold air continued to spread in her hand, and the cold air completely wrapped the bounty order, and when the ice cube was completely solidified and then shattered in the next second, the paper wrapped in it had completely disappeared in place, and there was no trace.

β€œ...”

"Ah, that's a big problem..."

Pahetz soon realized something, and she walked to the captain's room door again, standing in the hallway outside and looking out at the deck below.

Yin Shabel has been training with the crew since this morning, but the girl's body is too weak, and she vomited before she could run a few laps with the crew.

Now she was lying on the railing and throwing into the sea, and the rest of the crew behind her were watching the excitement behind, shouting one, two, three, while watching her vomit, as if to cheer her up, not to mention how lively it was.

"If that girl is really Princess Yin Sabel, then let her stay on the ship be a bomb, or the one that could explode at any moment..."

"Fisher didn't want to drag us down, he just wanted us to take them to a place to land... But don't worry too much, since she got on the ship, she is no longer the princess of Nari, and no one knows that she is on our ship. ”

At the same time, Aragina walked over to Pahtz and looked at the blonde girl, apparently both she and Pahetz knew the girl's true identity.

Pahertz said these words in fact, he was just joking, and he didn't mean to be afraid of Nari, after all, they were no better than others, they were pirates who came and went freely and unsupervised, and they had all been chased by their old club, the Sardinia Women's Kingdom, for so many years, but they hadn't been chased a single hair.

As long as you enter the East, let alone Nari, even if several families come together, it is not easy to do it.

"To be on the safe side, I'll check if she has any magic items on her to avoid being tracked down by the Nari."

net

Aragina nodded in agreement, but then suddenly remembered something, and scanned the deck, but she didn't find the person she was looking for.

"What about Fisher?"

Pahertz, who was touching the back of his head and was about to leave, also glanced around suspiciously,

"Huh? Didn't you just go over there, where are you now? ”

After hearing this, Alagina subconsciously glanced up at her head, but found that on the mast at this moment, Ossie was also missing at the same time.

......

......

"Run!"

Ten minutes earlier, on the deck, Fisher had been alone in the shade of the mast.

Emhart had been snatched by Karma and the others again, and he was probably busy feeding the rats in a compartment below deck.

But to be precise, Fisher didn't come here to rest, first of all, he came to watch Yin Sabel participate in the crew's training.

Today's sunlight is a little poisonous, Yin Sabel's delicate skin is directly exposed to the sun, coupled with the heavy load of training, it didn't take long for her to be hot and sweaty, constantly wheezing.

At this moment, she no longer wore the slender white dress, but changed into a set of short sleeves and trousers that the crew had extra, and followed the long line early in the morning, running laps and exercising with them on the deck.

But her physical strength was so weak that she could drop half a lap just by running a lap, and it didn't take long for the big team to skip behind her for the first time.

Feeling the cool breeze when the others skimmed over their sweaty backs, and feeling the somewhat mocking eyes of the others, Yin Sabel took a deep breath unwillingly, covered her stomach and chased the team in front of her again.

Fisher didn't look at how hard Yin Sabel was chasing after the others, he still had his own things to do.

Leaning alone in the shadows, he glanced up at Ossie who was still sitting on the mast above his head, and then took out the Asian mother in his pocket to finish the manual.

That's right, he plans to bind and study this northern bird species first.

Because before meeting Osie, he had already done a lot of research on the northern blue bird species, and I don't know if I can get to the level of 20% of the reward, but at least I can try it, and by the way, he also wants to see what the label of the blue bird species is, whether it is good or something.

After paying attention, Fisher finished the manual with the Asian mother who only he could see, and walked some distance in the direction of the mast.

He didn't know if the contract would be successful if he could get a full mast height away from Ossie, and if that didn't, he would have to find a way to get Ossie down.

But fortunately, the signal reception distance of Yaren Niang's manual is obviously much better than the magic radio in Ms. Martha's house, and the magic on her tattered radio is almost pulped, so Fisher can only keep dismantling and helping her carve it, going back and forth many times, but sometimes she still has to run to the roof to hear the sound.

That thing is a broken steam part, not a magic coat of arms that can't be used, and some of the steam parts Fisher is not very good at repairing, and Martha is not willing to spend money to find a steam craftsman to repair it, she thinks that since it can still be used, it is not broken.

And as soon as Fisher took it out on the deck after the subhuman mother finished making up the manual, two golden rays of light had burst out on it, and the quaint yellow scroll was windless and automatic, and it flipped quickly, and soon there were two new illusory interfaces out of thin air behind the whale race, waiting for Fisher to confirm,

[Northern Blue Bird Species], [Nezumi Species]

And below the bird species, there are several different lines of illusory text,

[Please select the research individual, the number of available individuals: 0/1]

[Osie, adult female northern bird species]

Well, it's good to bind.

In order to avoid the pain caused by binding the research object to the crew in the future, he took one last look at Yin Sabel, who was still running, and then returned to his room with the sub-human mother to complete the manual, where he chose to bind the blue bird species Osie.

The moment the thought came to him, a distorted golden light surged up again on the page of the completed manual, and the light spread from the top of the page until it stopped all over Fisher's body.

As the golden light spread, Fisher's body also came with severe pain again, this pain will not be abated no matter how much you exercise, how much it hurts, but fortunately, after experiencing so many times, Fisher has become accustomed to a lot, and can even endure the pain while looking at the content recorded on the page.

The golden text full of fantasy quickly expanded on the new column, and included all the knowledge of Fisher about the species of blue birds in his mind.

【Blue Bird Species】

[Northern Species], [Mammal Species], [Sky Species], [Snow Mountain Scroll Clan]

Snow Mountain Roll Clan?

As the shiny labels appeared in Fisher's sight, he looked at the meaning of the last label that popped up with some curiosity, and as his consciousness moved, Yaren Niang finished the manual and made a supplementary explanation in illusory words.

[Snow Mountain Scroll Clan: They were the most loyal believers of the Frost Snow Phoenix, and they swore to defend the dignity of the Snow Mountain and their fate with the life of their clan]

[Special Sequence - Volume Sequence: This is the honor given to those races that once loyally followed the royal family, and one of the Roll Families who unlocks any Roll Clan sequence will get research clues from the other Roll Clans]

[Snow Mountain Scroll Clan Sequence Race: Blue Bird Species, Slime Species, Snow Fox Species, Cloud Cat Species, Troll Species, Moon Rabbit Species]

Fisher raised an eyebrow, as if he understood a little bit what the [Volume Family Sequence] was in the Completion Manual.

Remember that Fisher had unlocked a [Royal's Choice] sequence tag before, and any of the five royal races had a unique [Roll Sequence] underneath it, symbolizing the many subhuman races that had followed them.

And because of the connection between these special sequence tags, you can get clues to the other races by unlocking one of them, if this is the case, the process of unlocking the volume family sequence is very similar to a chain reaction, and the difficulty of unlocking one of them and unlocking the next one will be greatly reduced.

Fisher, who had received the good news, even felt much better about the severe pain in his body, because at this time, a reasonable association appeared in his mind, which was about completing the prophecy of the end of the world recorded in the manual.

According to the previous progress, he has now decided on two of the four world-destroyers, namely Rafael of the dragon race and Jasmine of the whale race, and it just so happens that the whale race and the dragon race are both the category chosen by the royal family.

So apart from the witches who have already learned the tag sequence, and so on, is it possible that the last world destroyer [Sky God] is the [Phoenix Species] chosen by the royal family?

If this is the case, then after unlocking the scroll clan belonging to the phoenix species one by one, it is very likely that there will be clues pointing to the phoenix species, after all, Emhart said that the phoenix species has not appeared in the world for a long time, and he doesn't even know if they are extinct.

But Fisher didn't dare to guarantee that one day a cynical god-killing phoenix species would suddenly pop out of the stone, and it would be better to have an insurance or clue than nothing.

Thinking of this, he slowly sat up with his sweaty body and checked the progress of his previous research on the blue bird species.

[Biological research progress of blue bird species: 17%]

[Progress of social research on blue bird species: 3%]

Well, this progress is still expected by Fisher, and it can even be said that there are some surprises.

Because even though Fisher had read Little Jack's paper, after all, subethnographic studies were just getting started... No, it should be said that Fisher is a completely emerging discipline alone.

The content of the papers or two I had read before was not at all known about this subspecies, and even Fisher probably didn't know as much about the people in the north who saw the species of blue birds every day.

However, there are still 3% left to receive the next stage of creature research rewards, which is considered a bonus, and then continue to work hard to research this blue bird species to speed up the progress and get the reward.

But the problem now is that this blue bird species Ossie basically stays on the mast every day, and there is no chance at all, is it possible that Fisher still has to ask Arajina to tell her to come down and study herself?

Well, that sounds a little weird, to the point that even everyone except Emhardt would find strange.

What if it is up to Emhardt to gain knowledge?

He should know a lot about the blue bird species, if he learns more about Yaren Niang through him, will his research progress increase?

This seems worth a try.

Thinking of this, Fisher rubbed his shoulders and put the spread out manual of the Asian lady back in his pocket, ready to go out and find the book Sir who was playing with Karma and the others outside to test his conjecture.

"Goo... Goo..."

As a result, Fisher had just pushed open the door when he immediately saw the heavy robe of Ossie coming from the direction of the next room.

At this time, her body was still tightly covered by the cloak, but the shape of the arm was clearly outlined under the cloak, and in the crook of her arm, the parrot named Steel Knife was quietly staying in her arms.

Ossie didn't seem to expect Fisher to be in the room at this time, she had just gone to the bathroom, and she didn't expect to bump into him when she came out.

The moment she saw Fisher, her footsteps suddenly stopped in place, and a man and a parrot turned their heads to look at Fisher at the same time, and under the short white hair, her eyes were large and bright, which seemed to prove that the blue bird species had excellent eyesight.

"Second mate Ossie."

After a pause, Fisher greeted her, but just like Arajina, her expression didn't show any noticeable change after hearing Fisher's words...

Or, even if there was any change, her expression was obscured by the cloak that covered half of her face.

But what Fisher didn't expect was that in the next second, she suddenly raised the steel knife parrot in her hand with both hands and aimed the steel knife at Fisher in front of her.

Fisher was still wondering what she was doing, and the steel knife parrot tilted its head and shouted at him,

"Idiot... Fool..."

β€œ...”

The atmosphere fell silent, and Osie's expression remained unchanged, but the hands hidden under the cloak suddenly pinched the steel knife hard, causing the steel knife to shake its head in pain, and then looked at Fisher again.

This time, the colored parrot changed his tune,

"Hello... Hello..."
