Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 153
"Bill!" I heard someone call me, like in a dream.
"Bill! Wake up! "Somebody pushed me.
I tried to open my eyes, but the sun was shining and I couldn't open them. I straightened my stiff neck, which was crooked, and shielded my hands from the sun.
The man crouched in front of me, it was Ralph.
"What's wrong? Where's it going? "I was feeling so thirsty.
"I don't know, we ...... How are you? He asked me with concern.
"I'm in pain right now, and I feel like I'm going to fall apart." I said weakly. I lifted my eyelids and looked at the deck, where the guys who weren't hurt were cleaning. The dead companions were neatly arranged and wrapped in linen.
And a whole bunch of ...... The corpse of a monster.
I got up and looked at my arm, which had been bandaged when I was asleep...... Not at all impressed.
Touched my face and put a bandage on my face. I hope I don't disfigure.
"How many died?" I asked Ralph.
"Seventeen!" He said.
I frowned. "What about the wounded?"
"Mostly." He said.
"Are there any serious injuries?" I walked over to the pile of monsters.
"Eleven." He replied.
"How many will make it up?" I kicked their corpses.
"Probably......" he paused, "I hope we can make it!" ”
"Put this bunch out of the way!" I pointed to the pile of monster corpses.
"Just piled up." Ralph said.
"Then put it out again!" I looked up at the boat not far away.
"Five more!" Seeing this made me feel very uncomfortable.
"One sank last night." Ralph said: "Another one was washed away. ”
"Is it one of ours?" I asked.
"No...... It's a ship of the Kurtilas. Ralph said.
"What about last night?" I was in a panic.
"Ours!" Ralph said.
I feel that the words that come out of my scolding at this point are ...... Use! But I cursed anyway.
"Twenty-seven monsters, Captain." A young man shouted to me. "There are four women!" He added.
"Female?" Ralph and I were drawn to his words.
"Captain! You see! Her boobs! The lad pointed to the monster's chest.
The corpse's face had scales, but its features were human. It's just that she has the kind of fins that fish have behind her ears. The bulging chest is quite fruitful even if it is lying flat.
"Is this a mermaid?" The young man said.
"This is not a mermaid." I crouched down and examined her arms, the exoskeleton on her shoulders, and the scales that were attached to her. I suddenly remembered the pale green scales I had found on the beach outside Maude Fortress many years ago.
"It's not a Kraken either, it's called Naga!" I say.
"The Siren." The lad said. "Naga!"
"Rip off all their armor!" I say.
A crowd of people rushed up. And most of them prefer to pick up the armor of the female Naga first.
"What about their weapons?" I asked again.
Ralph pulled out a spear from a nearby alley and handed it to me.
"I've never seen metal of this material." I say.
"Me too." Ralph said. "It's made by sea monsters!"
The spear is very handy, not to mention using it like this group of monsters, I feel comfortable holding it in my hand. The shaft of the spear is carved with some tiny patterns. I don't know if it's for decoration or if they've given it some magic. I think so.
The tip of the spear was very broad, as wide as a palm, and although it was wide, the light that shone did not know whether it was silver or gold, and it could not be said to be luster. The blade is sharp, and the pointed body is also carved with some patterns in addition to the blood groove. The whole spear is not only a pole weapon, it can be said to be a work of art.
Ralph handed me another trident. At first glance, this trident is sold for a hundred gold coins, and I guess someone will pay for it! A very gorgeous piece of weapon. Especially the halberd head of the trident, perhaps the halberd of the legendary Sea King is nothing more than that.
And their sabers, sabers, daggers. Looking at these weapons, I like them from the bottom of my heart.
"These things can be exchanged for a lot of money." Ralph said, looking at my smiling face.
"But the lords of the Stormwind Kingdom will soon not be able to afford this money." I say.
"My lord! What to do with their corpses? Someone shouted.
"Pick out two pairs and air dry!" I say.
"Throw away the rest?"
"They can't buy exoskeletons or scales on the black market." I say.
Before the words fell, only the sound of a sword unsheathed was heard.
"You're so cruel." Ralph pouted.
"It's a sea monster. A rarity. I said, picking up the armor of the monsters and examining it.
"Bill, we're lost." Ralph snatched the armor.
"If you're on land, you're asking me about it." I snatched the armor again. "But now you'll have to ask Green." I raised my head and pointed to Grimm, who was piloting the boat.
Yesterday was a rough day, and I encountered these things at night. Today is indeed sunny. But it seems that yesterday's wind blew strongly, and today's wind has been blown together, and now there is no wind on the sea!
"The gods' joke is a little too big!" Lawrence was lying on the deck, he had also been injured last night, but only with minor abrasions. His handsome face had nothing to do with it.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, squinting and enjoying the rare silence.
This was the end of the peaceful day. The nights were surprisingly clear. Lie under the night sky, on this slightly rocking boat. There are many good things, and now my heart is still full of anticipation.
The next day the weather was still clear, but there was still not a hint of wind blowing. Not to mention whether there is enough food, we also need to replenish fresh water.
Those ships were still able to row with manpower, but our ship was attrition in battle, and wounded. It is basically unrealistic to row the boat by manpower.
"It's really a disaster." Ralph said, looking at the cloudless blue sky.
"It's better than the stormy waves of the day before yesterday." Lawrence said.
"How many more days will we have our water?" I asked.
"Save a little, ten days is no problem." He said. "But now the question is where we are and how far we are from our destination."
"There are no seabirds in the sky!" Green said. "The absence of seabirds means that we are still far from the shoreline. Birds do not hunt too far from the coast. ”
"So we're in the middle of the ocean?" Lawrence exclaimed, looking up.
"Shut up! Annoying enough. Ralph said in disgust.
"Alright, old man, alright!" As he spoke, he shoved his fingers into his mouth. Then he pulled it out and stood in the air.
"Can you be more disgusting?" Ralph turned his head away in disgust.
Now we can only rely on the ocean currents to take us where it wants to take us. Without the wind, we can't do anything.
"Say, those female Nagas...... How did you get pregnant? Lawrence's finger stood in the air, and suddenly he said this.
"Oh my God!" Ralph shook his head.
"Hah!" I was amused by him.
First mate Green said: "If you are lucky enough to meet again, I will prepare a big cage for you to catch in advance, you can try it." ”
"Hah! I don't have that ability! Lawrence laughed.
"We'll arrest you, and you'll be in charge of researching." Green laughed: "If that female Kraken is pregnant, it is not impossible to take you to the Land of the Kraken to be a son-in-law." ”
"Can this thing still breed across races?" Ralph interjected.
"Lawrence can do research on this." Green said.
"you!" Lawrence didn't care. "I'm curious if they're oviparous or viviparous! Or like a fish spinning seeds. ”
Ralph and Green are on good terms now, and the two of them have a good temper, singing and teasing Lawrence. This is the only chance to relieve the boredom of the two drivers right now. Lawrence, on the other hand, looked unconcerned, thinking like no one else could have come up with strange questions that only he could come up with.
It was past noon, and the sun was still scorching in the west.
Lawrence's mouth has not been idle, which makes Ralph, who is already a little irritable, even more irritable. The two fought to kill time, and then Ralph simply ignored him.
By the time Lawrence screamed and found the wind coming, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. No matter what time it is, as long as the wind blows, we will be saved!
The five remaining ships were instantly rejuvenated, and the sailors sang their own ballads.
The sails are gradually fuller, and the faster and faster boats make my heart open a lot. Lawrence climbed to the top of the mast as an observer. He said he liked the feeling of standing tall and seeing far away.
"Land! Ralph! There is land ahead! There is land in the direction of nine o'clock! Lawrence shouted and rattled the bell hard.
Ralph and I eagerly pulled out our binoculars and looked in the direction he was pointing, and at first glance, we were pleasantly surprised! Look again! Disappointed. It's such a small island......
"Ralph! We're here! Bill! We're here! Lawrence is still shouting. Suddenly, a horn sounded from a ship not far away. It was the sound of the trumpet that found the land.
After a little more waiting, more and more islands came into view, and after about ten nautical miles, a lighthouse appeared in my telescope.
"Look! Bill! Lighthouse! Ralph exclaimed excitedly.
Green discussed it with Ralph, and Ralph said happily, "It's not very far off, Bill, we're here." ”
"Turn the rudder 35 degrees to the left!" Ralph yells!
The middle-aged man now gave me an inexplicable sense of security, his tanned skin sparkling in the western sun. He finally went from being a bandit to becoming a seaman.
"Here we are! Ha! It's the first time I've been so far away! Lawrence excitedly slid off the mast.
"Lawrence."
"Yes, Lord Bill." He looked back.
"Be a little more restrained, pay attention to your conversation, and don't always spit. You'd better not disgrace me when you enter the palace. "I have to warn him in advance that his yellow jokes are not suitable for speaking to those noble ladies and ladies in the palace.
"Follow the teachings, my lord." He bowed in obedience.
"Raise the flag and turn around! Where to wander in the vast sea! ”
"Let's work together and set sail! The wind blows the waves and fights alone! ”
"A blunt knife slit his throat! A blunt knife slice his throat! ”
"Go on the road with peace of mind, and return to your hometown!"
"Whoa! Go on the road with peace of mind and return to your hometown! ”
It's been a few years! Will I be exiled or rescued or expelled from my homeland! Now I'm back! I'm alive!
Tim! There are some things I really want to ask! Mistress Earley, have you been promoted and made a fortune? Baron Palmer, is your stinky face still so white?
I smiled.
Edwin, my dear brother! I am back!
"Back in your hometown, you don't seem excited." Ralph crossed his cheeks and looked into the distance.
"No, it's more timid to be close to home."
I looked up at the raised eagle flag, the fluttering eagle flag! I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
I am back! I'm finally back!
Ally...... You okay?
