Chapter Eighty-Four: The Ghost Ship in the Storm
On the other side of the island, on the ghost ship, a yellow-haired man waits anxiously.
His name is Sainz, and he is an extraordinary member of the Church of the Storm, and the reason why he did not go to the island together was to keep the captain of the ghost ship who was guarding the original and prevent him from escaping.
However, Alger seems to have been gone for too long...... He stood on the bow of the ship and looked out, the sky was overcast in the distance, the wind and waves were rising, and a storm was brewing, and he saw that there was no way to avoid it.
The ship tossed up and down with the increasing wind and waves, but Sainz remained unmoved.
Soon, Alger's figure appeared in his field of vision.
But why, out of thin air, there were two more strangers behind him...... One is older and one is young, the middle-aged man has a resolute face and a steady pace, and the young man is handsome and carries a bulging suitcase.
"Who are they?"
The yellow-haired Sainz asked with a shout.
Alger stopped and replied in the same loud voice:
"The two of them are adventurers who were accidentally stranded on the island and want to take our ship back to Byam, there is no danger."
If there is no danger, then there is danger, but it is not a big ...... Sainz understood the code words between the two and chose to trust Alger's judgment, and immediately steered the ship to the shore, allowing the three to successfully board the ship.
The process was smooth and there were no conflicts.
"Thank you."
Joyce said, smiling kindly.
Sainz nodded slightly, didn't say much to each other, and after getting Alger's eyes, he arranged for the two strangers to rest in the free cabin, and the other party was also very cooperative.
Then, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Why have you been there for so long, and who are those two people?"
Alger is much more relieved when he returns to the ghost ship, the sea is his home field, and with the cooperation of his companions, the previous sense of crisis has basically been lifted.
He exhaled deeply, and the firmness in his tone calmed the other party:
"Calm down, Sainz, these two men have indeed been left behind on the island."
Beginning with the confirmed facts, Alger went on to recount the whole process:
"Before I landed on the island, there were people who had already landed on the island, and for some reason there was a fight between them, and the result was that the two adventurers were victorious, but the ship carrying them drove away, and he intended to chase them with the help of our ship, and I had no chance to refuse ......"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Sainz asked.
Alger replied truthfully: "I heard the fighting, I saw the ships that were leaving, the specifics are not clear, but in general there will not be much deviation. ”
Sainz's eyes flashed, and he made a knife-swinging motion:
"What if the two of them are pirates? Do you want to ......?"
Alger recalls the feeling of oppression he endured in the tunnel, and analyzes it carefully:
"These two are not weak, and even at sea, the two of us may not be their opponents together."
"And in my experience, they don't look like pirates, after all, how can any pirate be left on a desert island by his companions, these two are truly extraordinary......"
Sainz thought for a moment and asked, "Then we chase?" ”
"Chase."
Alger decides, not only for the sake of the harvest that Joyce promised, but more importantly, to verify the true identity of the two Joyces, and find out whether it is pirate infighting or adventurers hunting pirates?
…………
The ghost ship had no sailors, and there was a gloomy smell in the air around it.
Dinner was also basic, with grilled fish, bread and unknown jam that had been stored a little longer, and of course, enough beer.
That night, a storm had been brewing for a long time.
Thick clouds, lightning and thunder, illuminated the dense raindrops like beads, and the wind blew waves higher than a wave, as if to turn the sky upside down.
It's no wonder that most of the people who make a living at sea believe in some storm lords...... Only at such times can one truly realize one's own insignificance and subconsciously pray to the gods for survival.
Luckily, Joyce was on a ghost ship, and there were two Tyrant Pathway Extraordinaires on board.
The ship is like a fallen leaf, drifting in the wind and waves, but there is no danger of capsizing, the only problem is that the desire to sleep has become a luxury.
It was only after tossing and turning all night that the storm began to show signs of abating.
Joyce went to the deck to see Alger and the yellow-haired Sainz observing the storm, which was also their home turf......
"Can you catch up with such a big storm?" He asked.
Alger replied in the affirmative: "I can catch up." ”
"Actually, the storm is good for us, and the ships ahead will be delayed and slowed down, but we won't, and if the rain continues, then we can catch up tonight."
"Looks like luck is on our side." Joyce smiled, and then slammed his left chest with a fist with his right hand:
"The storm is above."
As a devout believer in the storm, Sainz almost subconsciously performed the storm salute, and finally took control of his right hand, he turned his head and asked:
"Do you believe in the 'Lord of the Storm'?"
"Yes." Joyce's answer was decisive and sincere, which would help to dispel the vague hostility between the two sides, not to mention that he was now a believer in the storm.
Sure enough, the yellow-haired Sainz had more recognition in his eyes, and he talked to Joyce and Hunter from time to time.
While eating breakfast, Joyce began to think that today was June 28th, and Klein had "landed", and in the next day he would go grocery shopping, divination, and hold a transfer ceremony, which was the first tarot meeting......
Thinking of this, he glanced up at Alger and quickly retracted it, making the latter a little baffled.
Afterwards, Joyce returned to the cabin alone, leaving Mr. Hunter outside to chat with Sainz.
Open the suitcase that you have brought with you, and it contains all the takeaways from the operation.
Two extraordinary characteristics, one belongs to the "Firesonist" and the other belongs to the "Kraken" Rosario, who has learned through the divination of the Source Fort that he is the "Raging People" of the eighth sequence of the Tyrant's path, no wonder he is so short-tempered......
The two extraordinary materials, "the compound eye of the hunting black spider", "the whole blood of the black abyss demon fish", and of course, the other spiritual materials on the two can be said to be plucked......
The two magical items, the "Magician's Ring", went around and returned to his hands...... There is also a necklace that has the ability to "nightmares", the negative effect of which is that the wearer must sleep for sixteen hours a day......
The harvest was very good, and each was worth a lot, but Joyce didn't need it now, and he took out other things that were not valuable.
Two rings are worn on the hand, a round mirror is placed in front of him, and he sits cross-legged on the bed with the compass on his knees.
It is the antiquities of the Quaternary period that he collected through different channels.
He intends to wait for the Tarot Conference to be held.
