Fisher's eyes fell on the neat wooden boat rickety above the ocean in the distance, the weather was fine at this time, and Aragina had just left not long before he swaggered to the place where he met Jesse at the back of the hotel, but he was not seen at this time, it seemed that he had gone to set up a stall at the magic market.

So Fisher paid two gold coins for the hotel waiter to go to the Magic Market to retrieve Jesse, while he and Emhart stayed here to observe the ship.

The ship was now being guarded by a local gang on the island of Pattishen, but it wasn't very tight, after all, according to Jesse, the Exocet had been held up for a long time, and even if the other party wanted to get any patience from the pioneer ship that had sailed many places, it would have long since run out of time.

"Fisher, Fisher! I felt that the book was on the deck below the stern, and I felt that there was more than one copy, because the smell of knowledge was so strong that I couldn't imagine what it would be like for such a strong smell to be hidden in a book. Could it be that there is some earth-shattering secret recorded in it? ”

Fisher didn't answer Emhart's agitation, he wondered if he should leave Elizabeth with a distinct tail, and thought about it, according to Elizabeth's understanding of herself, it would increase her suspicions if she turned to Arajina, who had already left.

"Don't worry, if it goes well, we'll leave Pattishenan Island with this ship tonight and head north, and then you can see as much as you want, and until then."

"This gentleman, the person you are looking for has been called, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the hotel first."

Fisher glanced back at the old man Jesse who was brought over by the hotel, the other party was still drunk during the day, and after hearing the voice of the waiter next to him, he impatiently shook off the hand he put on his body, and then said in a babbling voice,

"What for, what for? My things are still in the market and have not been collected, in case you lose them, will you pay for them? What is it. Wait, it's you?! What are you doing here without leaving with the Iceberg Queen? ”

Jesse was a little incredulous after seeing Fisher in front of him, this morning the Iceberg Queen left Pattioschen Island was not small, he thought that Fisher broke his promise and left after not telling Aragina about his ship, so he drank a few sips of stuffy wine in the morning, but he didn't expect Fisher to appear here alone now.

"Aren't we still having a little business to do about your Exocet?"

There may have been a chance when the Iceberg Queen was there, but now, don't think about it. My ship has been seized by gangs on the island, and without gold they can't let go and hand over the key to my engine, do you want to rush in and kill them all and snatch the key? ”

Jesse didn't know much about Fisher, and of course he wouldn't believe that he could snatch the Exocet back with his own strength, in fact, this kind of local gangster generally does not be equipped with very lethal magic, if it is combined with his own magic and eighth-order physique, Fisher is sure to swallow the entire gang.

But he has other, quieter ways to get the key away, and there's no need to think about it.

"You just need to tell me where they put the keys to the boat, and I'll do the rest, and after I get the keys, promise me two requests, send me to the north, and let my book friend on my shoulder read the books you have on board."

Emhart, who was on Fisher's shoulder, resisted the urge to jump up, but coughed quite reservedly, and then showed a very satisfied look at Fisher, with a stinky fart of "living up to my cultivation of you in the search for the sun".

And Jesse in front of him glanced at the single person in front of him with a strange face. Oh no, Fisher, with a book, doubts that he will be able to steal his ship back,

"You're trying to steal the key? No, it doesn't work at all, they have other boats, you see, the boats at sea, although my Exocet was the fastest boat back then, but after all, so many years have passed, and she is as old as I am. ”

"You just have to tell me if you agree to my deal."

"Well, if you can get my ship out of those hands, I'll keep my promise to take you out of here and to the north, and I'll show you the books on the ship's shelves that I have on the shelves. By the way, the key is in their account room, if nothing else, the one by the coast, do you see? I remind you that the boss of the Valen Gang is a door-picker, and he usually sleeps in the account room, so be careful yourself. ”

Jesse pointed to the room at the mouth of the coast in the distance, pointing out the direction for Fisher, who nodded and told Jesse to wait here tonight for him, when he would bring the key back to him, and then left the place, leaving the suspicious Jesse to stay where he was and watch his back farther and farther away.

Tonight's night on Pattioshim's Island was sparse, and the noisy sea breeze swept through the cool temperature of the night, lapping on Fisher's face on the shore, making him take a few deep breaths and expel the little pressure from the bottom of his heart.

For some reason, he had been a little weak since he knew that Earwin had passed on his news to Elizabeth, and he was afraid that when Nari's warship would come directly to attack Pattishen Island and capture him, this uncertainty made him decide to speed up the process of leaving Pattiosin Island, and he could not stay here for long.

In the afternoon, he probably figured out the arrangement of this local gang, and bought some magic materials to bring with him, and the most important thing is, of course, food, from here to the north can be more than twenty days and nearly a month's journey, fresh water can still rely on magic to solve, but the food must be carefully calculated, he doesn't want to catch fish at sea every day to eat.

As the night grew darker, Fisher put the food and magic materials he had bought on a small boat, and then pulled out transparent magic threads from his hands while rushing to the shore of the gangster's territory, only to see his fingers shake slightly and throw the threads onto the mechanical structure at the end of those boats at sea, the silk threads turned around again and again, and deftly pulled the gears and other parts embedded in them.

This is to prepare for them not to catch up with the Exocet in the future, and it is not too easy for a high-ranking member of the Saint Nari Magic Association to deal with an overseas gang with little experience in anti-magic, so Fisher felt a little boring as he did it, and couldn't help but glance at the cheering book on his shoulder, and didn't understand what he was happy about,

"I'm not sure where the key is, I'll have to let you slip in and get it out. The model of the Flying Fish is very old, the key is matched, you must be able to recognize what it looks like at a glance, I am waiting for you outside. ”

Emhart, who was still very excited just now, immediately drooped when he heard that he needed to do things by himself, and he glanced at Fisher beside him angrily, I don't know if he remembered the painful experience of being caught and whipped by Paimon in the Demon Abyss, so he seemed a little uncertain,

"Are you sure there's no magic or anything in there? And I'm so big, what if I get discovered? Otherwise, let's leave that stinky old man alone after we take the key, and besides, didn't you say that he had bad intentions towards us, and wouldn't it be better to leave him here?" ”

"Your stupidity is really an eye-opener for me to get on the ship, and there is only one reason for the gangs to seize his ship, there is a very precious treasure hidden on the ship, and only he knows where it is, and he still doesn't know what I have in mind about the treasure on his ship. Guess what a man who thinks about his baby does when he returns to the ship that has been held by the gang for a long time? ”

"You mean, he'll go on board to check if his treasure is missing?"

"Well, according to my reasoning, there is a good chance that there is a covert magic or secret grid on the ship that only he knows the password, and if it is covert magic, even I can't crack it, and I won't lose anything by letting him on board. Wait, you're scared to get the keys, are you? ”

How could it be! I'm a great book sir, and I haven't experienced any storms and waves! Just leave it to me as a little thing as getting the key! ”

Seeing Emhart's angry look of wanting to prove himself, Fisher made the movements of the spinners around the dinghy much lighter, and soon tied all the dinghy to the silk thread.

Fisher then went to his boat, grabbed the new cane he had just bought on the island, and headed for the gang's territory.

Speaking of which, from the Southern Continent to now, he has broken two canes, since there is a sub-human mother to make up the manual and run around the world after this thing is about to become a consumable, the right cane has always been expensive, but a qualified Nari gentleman is indispensable to this kind of thing, if the fluid sword can be a little more versatile and become a cane that does not cut hands.

Fisher skillfully flicked his cane and buckled a pure black gentleman's hat to his head, the brim was not long, just enough to leave room for Emhardt to stand on his shoulders,

"I'll tie the spinners to you, keep an eye on you, and you can sneak out once you find the key."

"You have to watch me, if I get caught, you must come and save me, you can't be ungrateful!"

"Uh-huh, let's go."

Fisher wrapped the spinners around Emhart's body, and on the other hand he also wore the magic ring that the cardinal had given him to avoid accidents, but he could only use the high-ring magic to blast the place.

Emhardt trembled and writhed towards the gang's camp, and the boxy body of the book seemed to be extremely nimble at this moment, and flew towards the gang's account.

Fisher didn't wait for him at the door, but walked back like a kite, leaving only the ever-longer spinner's thread to connect them.

When he left the gangster camp and walked back to the side of the boat, the ragged Jesse was already waiting for Fisher not far away with his thin body, and when he looked at Fisher, who was dressed like he was attending a banquet, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, he looked around, and then ran to his side,

"Aren't you going to steal the key, why are you still here?"

"My little brother has already gone, just wait here."

Jesse raised his eyebrows, looking at Fisher's empty shoulders at this moment, he really couldn't understand the love-hate relationship between him and the book, watching Fisher sit calmly in the boat, but Jesse never moved his steps and just stood on the shore, he swore that if something happened over there, he would immediately let his legs go.

Fisher ignored him, his fingers tapped lightly on the silk thread that connected Emhart in his hand, and the other finger with a ring was also attached to the silk thread.

Three-ring modern magic, [Vigilance Conduction].

"Buzz~"

The light on the ring became brighter and brighter, and a milky white halo that was imperceptible to the naked eye instantly bloomed and flowed out along the spinner, and with the transmitted light, the situation on Emhart's side was also displayed in front of Fisher's eyes.

The first thing he saw was Emhardt staring at a girl who was asleep in bed, as if he had seen something that he couldn't take his eyes off of it.

“？”

Fisher raised an eyebrow, could it be that Emhardt also turned to pay attention to human ladies, or was he subtly influenced by himself?

Before he could pull the thread around Emhardt's body to remind him to focus on stealing the key, he caught a glimpse of the girl lying on the bed holding a quaint Kadu book in her arms, which seemed to be a version of the Genesis, well, the one Emhardt hadn't seen.

There are many versions of the Genesis Sutra, and each country recognizes it differently, especially those small countries on the east coast of the Western Continent, and the versions of each country are very different, and what is even more outrageous is the plot of the mother goddess strangling her child to death, which is not half a star away from the original version.

Nari used the same original version as Kado, and Fisher studied the same one, but it did not prevent many other versions from circulating throughout history and today.

Emhart struggled to glance at the book in the girl's arms, and then resolutely twisted his body and turned towards the account room opposite the girl's room, muttering something in a low voice as he went.

"Out of sight, out of sight, out of sight"

As he hypnotized himself, he floated into the still lit ledger, where a man with a musket was napping, and Emhart cautiously glanced at the musket in his arms, and quietly looked at the decorations.

Money from all over the world, this month's bills and receipts and disbursements, Nari's beauty magazine, and an old iron key hanging on the wall!

When Emhardt's eyes saw the key, Fisher immediately tugged at the threads attached to his body, prompting him to bite the key and bring it out.

Emhardt pursed her lips and leaned her square face next to the key, opening her mouth to bite the tip of the key, slowly removing it from the hook on the wall.

It worked!

But before Emhart could praise himself in his heart for how capable he was, he suddenly turned his head and suddenly saw a black muzzle facing his big face, and the one holding the musket was the gangster who had just been napping and was now looking at the floating book in front of him with a look of surprise.

"What are you, why are you so ugly?"

"Your mother."

Emhart bit the key, and was just about to spit out fragrant words, but Fisher, who was on the boat in the distance, suddenly stood up, and pulled his right hand towards the void, Emhart suddenly felt a huge force behind him, and he could only subconsciously bite the key in his mouth to avoid falling off.

The scene around him receded rapidly, and neither the night wind nor the moonlight could catch up with him, until the next second he suddenly fell into Fisher's hands.

"Gross! Gan, Fisher! Why didn't you tell me in advance that there was still this trick?! ”

Sir Book's eyes twitched in Fisher's hand, and after waiting for a second or two, he forcibly swallowed the fainting in front of him and spit out the key in his mouth to start the line with Fisher, but Fisher ignored him at all, he held the brim of the gentleman's hat on his head, looked at the gradually noisy gangster territory in the distance, and handed the key to Jesse in front of him,

"Captain Jesse, this is the key to the Exocet. Don't worry, I've tampered with their boats, we can go now"

Jesse's eyelids inevitably jumped, he glanced at the personable Fisher in front of him, and then stared at the key in his hand that he had been thinking about for a long time, and cursed as he jumped onto the ship and took the traditional steam engine key.

"Maniac. You're absolutely insane. ”

Jesse took the key from Fisher's hand, and the greedy flame in his eyes ignited in an instant, and before Fisher could speak, he had already consciously picked up the wooden oar placed on the stern of the boat and rowed rapidly.

I've waited so long for myself to finally be able to return to the Exocet, even if I die, I'll have to die on the Exocet!

Fisher propped his hands on the cane in front of him, and with another flick of the fingers of his left hand, all the machinery on the gangster ships docked on the shore were damaged, and after doing all this, he retracted the transparent silk thread in his hand and turned his head to look at the wooden ship docked in the middle of the sea behind him, the Exocet.

The entire ship of the Exocet was a full size smaller than the wooden rebuilt steamships of the same period, because the initial steam engines generally faced a serious shortage of horsepower, so reducing the size of the ship became the best way to increase its speed.

In the past, there were no such pirates who roamed the seas as they do now, and of course there was no need to carry heavy artillery, which further reduced the weight of the Exocet and transformed it into a high-speed ship like a flying fish at sea in that era.

Even in today's era of steam engines and navigation, its sailing speed is still not the slowest gear.

"Quick, quick! We've got to get on board and pull the anchor up, or we'll be beaten into a sieve by the island's pirates, you go, there's a mechanic on the deck that can be operated by one person, there should be instructions on it. I'm going to start the boat, they shouldn't be able to take the coal off the ship. ”

As soon as he boarded the ship, Fisher had not even thrown the food and luggage on his small boat, and Jesse was already looking anxiously at the very noisy shore and said to Fisher.

Fisher nodded, watching Jesse take the key to the captain's room first, he gave Emhart on his shoulder a look, and motioned for him to follow before Fisher nodded in agreement,

"No problem."

Fisher walked towards the horizontal wheel next to the deck, the rusty iron chain that stretched from the wheel to the surface of the sea, the anchor of the Exocet.

Fisher placed his staff beside him, grasped the handle of the steel roulette wheel with both hands, and with a sharp force, the device that had not been used for a long time made a screeching sound, like the crunch of bones on a man who had not moved in a long time.

As the silent anchor on the bottom of the sea moved little by little towards the surface, the sound of chains rubbing against the hull of the ship woke up the long-dormant ship like some kind of alarm clock, and at the same time, Jesse seemed to start the engines that ignited the ship, and after the whole ship shook violently several times, the shaking lights on the ship also became brighter, illuminating the dark deck.

It turned out that the ship was also equipped with light magic linked to the steam engine, and in those days, it was only possible to arrange this kind of magic for the ship, which could only be done by a large model like the Nari Development Company.

This is indeed a ship from a pioneering company.

As the lights suddenly turned on, the huge icon of the Nari Pioneer Company on the deck also crashed into Fisher's eyes, it was the ships that hung the logo of the Nari Pioneer Company that opened the bridge between the Western Continent and the Southern Continent, and transported everything on the other side back to the Western Continent in a steady stream.

"It worked! It worked! The Exocet is still moving, and we'll be out of Pattishen Island in no time! Hahaha! ”

Jessena's ecstatic cheers were heard from the captain's quarters, and the whole ship began to speed forward, and the gangsters on the shore seemed to have just spotted the Exocet moving on the surface, but it was obviously too late to chase after it.

The ragged Jesse appeared at the door of the captain's room, and looked at the gang of gangsters who stayed on the ship but couldn't start the ship and screamed, and his heart couldn't help but surge with infinite pleasure.

"Haha, now they can't catch up, they won't have a chance. It's too late for the rest of the gangsters on the island to go after them from decades ago, and we've made it, Mr. Fisher! ”

Fisher leaned against the side of the boat, looked at Pattishen Island, which was gradually moving away from his field of vision, and turned his head to Jessie and smiled,

"Well, just remember to keep your promise."

"Promise? Oh. Yes, promise! You wait, I'll go find the chart and promise to get you to the north! ”

Jesse patted his head, then turned back to the captain's room, not knowing what to look for, while Fisher, on deck, took off his gentleman's hat from his head and placed it on his chest, and the moonlight illuminated his expressionless face, as well as the situation on the deck in front of him.

In front of his eyes, on the wooden floor near the deck cabin, large patches of dried blood were so conspicuous.
