......

The sun is scorching.

As far as the eye can see, a neat fleet of ships slowly emerges on the horizon. Drive towards the endless sea on the other side. This fleet is mostly large and medium-sized cargo ships, either blue or white. The sails are all printed with whales and three-pointed forks.

The blue sky, the blue sea, is completely the same color as the sea and the sky. The eyes are full of blue. Only in the middle, a row of small white and blue dots, is slowly approaching here. The salty and strong sea breeze blew through the corners of the clothes. It was also mixed with the sound of the waves crashing.

Chirp~chirp~

Two white seabirds streak across the field of vision. The crowd on the splint, sailors, merchants, nobles...... And so on, as usual, or get together and start talking, or stand on the edge of the dress, looking at the endless sea, or sit around drinking and gambling together, or busy with the work at hand.

On the sea, such merchant fleets are no longer few.

In the flotilla there was a boat with only a dozen people. There were more than a dozen men and women, either wearing armor, knights' spears, or magic robes.

Looks like a small adventurous party.

More than a dozen people were busy working in various parts of the ship, each with a clear division of labor. And in the bow of the ship, there are two people.

One was a young man dressed in a white and gold-rimmed aristocratic uniform with a golden ponytail, holding a golden knight's spear, not a cross gauntlet, but a hemispherical gauntlet. The young man had a handsome face, opened his arms, and breathed deeply in the salty and wet sea breeze blowing from the sea.

The other person is a young girl, with a delicate and serious appearance. The long blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and tied back at the back of the head. It gives a feeling of extreme seriousness. He was wearing a purple magic robe. Originally loose magic robes. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, it was only attached to her body, showing her slender and round legs perfectly.

"Ah~~ I'm Lord Coulson who wants to become a knight of the deep sea! The sea! I'm coming!" the young man with the golden ponytail shouted after taking a deep breath of the sea breeze.

His shout attracted the attention of many people on the merchant ships nearby, who looked at him like fools, but he didn't care. Looking at the other people on deck, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you shout too?"

When the others heard what he said, they couldn't help but glance at him.

And when he saw that the crowd ignored him. He looked at the girl in a purple-gold magic robe beside him, and said, "Catherine, you can also shout to try?"

The girl named Catherine, who was wearing a purple magic robe, was fiddling with a telescope in her hand at this time, and after listening to Coulson's words, she didn't move, and while continuing to fiddle with the telescope, she said, "Coulson, first of all, I am your sister." Don't call me by my name, call me sister!"

"Oops. Sister, don't worry about that. Coulson grinned and waved his hand.

Catherine ignored him and continued, "...... Secondly, you are the only one who is so idiotic...... Huh?"

Catherine, who was originally talking, suddenly stopped, kept adjusting the focus of the telescope in her hand, and finally said in surprise: "There seems to be a person floating on the sea!"

"Isn't it? It's hundreds of nautical miles from the nearest island, so how can anyone float in the sea?" Coulson said.

"Don't believe it yourself!" said Catherine as she handed the telescope to Coulson.

Coulson immediately took it, and under Catherine's guidance, he finally saw a floating figure in the small cylinder of the telescope, about a hundred and fifty meters away from their ship.

"There really is!" Coulson took off the binoculars with a look of surprise, looked at Catherine, and asked, "Sister, what should I do?"

"You're stupid, of course, tell the captain!" Catherine took the binoculars, gave him a blank look, and trotted towards the deck, a woman who looked to be in her twenties and almost thirty years old, fair-skinned, delicate-looking, plump, wearing a set of overall white, orange armor around her, and long orange hair.

"Sister Lilith, about a hundred and fifty meters to the left of our ship, I spotted a man floating on the surface!" Catherine said to the orange woman with long hair.

"Oh, is it?" the long-haired orange woman named Lilith was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then took the telescope in Catherine's hand and looked in the direction Catherine had said.

Soon, she saw that there was indeed a person floating about a hundred and fifty meters to the left of their boat.

"Sister Lilith, would you like to send a boat over to see it?" asked Catherine.

When Lilith heard this, her delicate face couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

"Lilith, it's better not to make a fuss. A deep voice sounded, and then, a burly middle-aged man with two barbed hammers crossed on his back walked over slowly, "This is also a few hundred nautical miles from the nearest island, and there are no traces of ship destruction nearby, and those who can float here are either corpses or people who don't need to take a boat at all." Either way, we don't have to provoke. ”

Hearing this, Lilith frowned slightly, and after continuing to think for a while, she shook her head at the middle-aged man and said, "Tasuo, the reason why our group can have the current situation is because we helped others in the first place. Aren't many people in the group willing to join us because we helped them in times of need? Both of the scenarios you mentioned are indeed possible, but since you have seen them, what if we go and see what will happen? It's just a waste of time, and if this person is still alive, won't we be able to save someone's life? Even if it is the second of the two situations you mentioned, we have good intentions, and even if that person does not need to be in a boat, it will not do anything to us. ”

After that, Lilith smiled and said to Catherine: "Catherine, since you found out, you can organize someone to take a look." ”

"Okay!"

Catherine grinned, as if she had been given some honorable errand, and immediately called Coulson, and a burly warrior on board, Barton, who was very honest in appearance and character.

The three of them took a small boat and slowly rowed towards the figure with the hairstyle.

There were also some people in the fleet who found the man floating on the sea, but only they sent someone on board to rescue him.

Soon, Catherine's boat rowed to the side of the man who was floating on the sea.

The three of them saw that the person floating in the sea had black hair, was wearing a dark purple magic robe, and looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly yellow skin, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"Hey, this person seems to be a magician, too!Sister, the magic robe he wears looks like yours!" Young Coulson immediately said when he saw the dark purple magic robe worn by the person floating on the sea.

"This is ......" Catherine looked at the man floating on the sea, with a dark purple magic robe on his body, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Legend has it that only the magic robe worn by the teacher of the first blue magic academy in the mainland is dark purple! ”

"Uh...... Sister, don't you want to say that this guy is a teacher at the Azure Academy of Magic?" Coulson listened to his sister Catherine's exclamation, looked at her with dead fish eyes, and plucked his nostrils and said with a look of disgust: "Look at this guy's appearance, at most he is about the same age as us, although his hair color is relatively rare black, how can he be the teacher of the Azure Academy of Magic? If he is really the teacher of the Blue Academy of Magic, then I have to wonder if the Blue Academy of Magic is the number one magic academy in the continent!"

After Coulson finished speaking, he glanced at the person who was floating in the water and was being scooped up by Balton, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, he is also similar to you, old sister, and specially found a purple silk cloth to imitate the imposter made of the magic robe of the Blue Academy of Magic." However, it looks like the fabric he was looking for is much worse than your old lady, and he actually made it this color......!

Coulson's words made Catherine blush slightly.

She was only a mid-level magic apprentice.

And the purple magic robe on her body is indeed imitated, not the uniform of the Blue Magic Academy. But this was not Catherine's intention, but because she simply liked the color purple.

But because of her magic robe, many people mistakenly thought she was a student of the Blue Academy of Magic. She also planned to change to a different color of magic robe, but after saving their mercenary group once because of this misunderstanding, everyone in the group persuaded her not to change it, and she really liked purple very much, so she kept wearing it.

However, when she was mistaken for a student at the Blue Academy of Magic, she explained. Whether others believe it or not, she did what she had to do anyway, and there is nothing to feel guilty about.

But now when she sees someone who turns out to be like herself, she is suddenly teased by Coulson, which still makes Catherine a little embarrassed.

Soon, Barton fished the man out of the water.

Catherine immediately reached out to try the man's snort, but before her hand could reach under the other's nose, suddenly, the man opened his eyes!

This scared Catherine!

However, seeing that this person was fine, Catherine immediately asked, "Hey, are you okay?" My name is Catherine, what's your name?"

As she spoke, Catherine looked into the man's open eyes.

A pair of rare black eyes.

However, Catherine found that the black pupils of this person were scattered, and they were filled with a deep blankness.

Suddenly, the man grabbed Catherine's hand and said in a firm tone: "This time, I will never let go again!"

This startled Catherine again.

But before Coulson and Barton could make any moves, the man grabbed her hand and let it go, his eyes still glazed.

Catherine and the three of them took turns to ask for a while, but they didn't hear the man say a word.

Suddenly, Coulson booed, "Phew, it's an idiot!" (To be continued......
