Walking ahead of everyone, Melissa's pace was quite cautious, and her speed slowed down a lot in order to take care of the people behind her.

But in this case, after walking for half a minute, I didn't see the entrance to the next floor, which is enough to see that the draft of the cargo ship is not only deeper than expected, but the internal structure is heavy on the bottom layer, which should still be really different.

- Maybe as soon as Melissa Roger killed the guards, someone took advantage of the chaos to make a hint that the others would receive the content of the news and run to the deep hiding place. But as the "abuser" herself, Melissa disagrees with this conclusion.

"I dealt with everyone at the same time, and I also noticed that no one had a time to react." Melissa's expression was innocent, and she even gave herself a thumbs up, and her narcissism was amazing, "You don't know, before I became a pirate, I was recognized as the fastest assassin in Crowley. ”

Connor covered her face, wishing she didn't even know the captain.

“…… What a shame. ”

Austin is quite spittive, and he has no fear, and he doesn't dare to squeak at all because of the official rank.

The two siblings followed Captain Blue Eagle, followed by Mogan and Austin. Mogan said that he was primarily responsible for Will's safety, and that Austin had no one to restrain him.

In addition, as a bodyguard, Al, who was given the order, followed behind Austin all the time.

Behind him was none other than Lucifer, who had silently weakened his sense of existence.

"You might as well look at the potions master instead of protecting me." Austin was also a little impatient with him, "My defensive magic can be instantaneous - even if this ship suddenly blows up and we all fall into the sea to feed the fish, I'm afraid I'll have to save you." ”

As a merman, Austin has the capital to swim in the ocean.

And as soon as he finished speaking, several people finally arrived at the platform where they rested between the stairs, and they didn't have time to deal with the merman's daily unhappiness.

The space here was too small to fit the seven people here, so the people behind them had to stay on the stairs.

But Austin's tone was actually okay, much more normal than usual, perhaps because he really cared a little bit about Lucifer helping out near the beach.

Realizing that someone cared about His Majesty, Morgan suddenly didn't know what to say, but he couldn't explain it instead.

The learning of mages is usually more refined than much, and this truth, which is broken in the king as usual, is not only limited to attribute magic, but also includes derivative disciplines such as potions and magic circles.

The main reason is that a person's time is limited, and mastery of potions often means that they are not good at other magic, and most of the time is spent studying potion materials and ratios, and mages who need to chant for a long time lack temporary defense.

Of course, ordinary people would not have thought that a young man who casually met was over 100 years old and was close to the verge of retirement.

Austin's sudden concern, while a bit arbitrary, is not excessive in terms of common sense.

After all, King Lestus had never tasted a bite on the beach before, and the skill of quickly distinguishing the type, dosage, and concentration of potions based on appearance and smell alone required at least decades of painstaking study by normal mages.

But this did not correspond to the facts, and Mogan also felt that it needed to be corrected briefly.

So he made a detour, whispered something to the pirate captain, and got a fairly approving thumbs up.

Seeing his captain going around from front to back, as if he was running to talk to Al, Connor suddenly felt a little flustered, felt that the situation was not good, looked at his brother next to him, and then looked at the merchant who brought his brother in front of him.

This time, Mo Gan was left to open the way, and he also had time to directly "face the line" with this very thoughtful little girl.

"Mr. Grande, I still have to thank you for taking care of my brother, and I hope he didn't trouble you."

Connor tugged at the ends of her hair and whispered, I don't know if I think there is too much hair, maybe curls are really good for hair. In such an enclosed space, it is not surprising that the vast majority of people will subconsciously lower their voices.

But I have to say that although they usually have very different temperaments, Connor and Will have exactly the same facial expressions when they are panicked, and even the direction of their gaze is exactly the same, but Will is still a little more cowardly - but the two finally have a sense of resemblance to brother and sister.

Mogan nodded, as if he was thanking him, and offered at the same time.

"Actually, I have some connections in my family, and I may be able to help you contact the queen."

"No...... No more! Connor refused quickly, but perhaps considering that the other party took care of his younger brother, he still opened his mouth to explain loosely to avoid misunderstanding, "This matter is related to the Knights of Nova City, and it is official business...... I can't make my own decisions and tell anyone other than Her Majesty, I'm very, very sorry! ”

Mogan smiled, "It's okay. ”

Connor didn't expect this rather deep looking businessman to be so easy to deal with, and her eyes widened instantly.

"It's okay" means that it doesn't matter if you hide it. If the news reaches the queen, even if the queen herself does not want to give official information at will, if necessary, Mogan is confident that he can find the queen's cronies who are not strict-mouthed, and set out the situation and clues.

As a person who is good at using resources, Mogan has always buried a lot of "threads".

from the major bazaars. To the aristocratic manor, and then to the royal palace, connections are the best medicine, and he has the opportunity to get in touch.

Although he was sorry for being so self-determined and offending authority, the extra sense of security did satisfy Mogan.

Since the abrupt end of his previous life, Mogan is no longer comfortable with letting the situation get out of control.

Turmoil can make him distracted and even out of control, and some of the direct catalysts are even more effective in destroying his proud sanity—a reality that Mogan is sure will be difficult to change, because he has been trying continuously and persistently for twenty-one years.

The bottom of the platform should also be wooden from the appearance, and if you don't pay attention to the delicate wood grain, it will even slip on the soles of your feet. The reason why they stayed here is that around the platform, there are also three staircases, each connected to a diamond-shaped stone wall.

Mogan looked down at his feet, and realized that the plank under his feet seemed to be completely one, and he felt that it was a magical material but did not know what it was, and the edge of the platform was engraved with strange stripes, extending to the edge, hidden in the depths of the line of sight.

Further down, there is a hollow as black as ink, and when you look down, it looks like a bottomless abyss.

After walking like this, they haven't even reached the bottom of the black ship?

Although this is a magical world, Mogan still thinks that "this is not scientific", and there must be some strange magic added to it.

As for the stripes on the edges of the platform......

Just then, Captain Blue Eagle came down the stairs again.

"There's a division of labor now." Melissa pressed the shoulders of the Mirandi siblings in a friendly manner, "Guess what?" ”

Connor's intuition was not a good thing, and Will was even more startled by this kind of self-acquaintance, so the siblings were quite tacit and silent.

At the same time, Mogan quietly leaned behind Will and took advantage of the distraction of the people next to him to say a word to him.

Melissa shrugged, "We now suspect that there might be a secret compartment in the room above, let Al go up and guard it." But this ship is quite large, and it may need manpower, so would you like to consider going over and helping to find it? Maybe knock on the wall to clean the dust, right? ”

"I refuse ......"

Connor didn't even think about it, and was about to refuse, but found that Will tugged at the corner of her dress and whispered something to her sister.

"Alright," she agreed, "there shouldn't be anything left on it...... But the possibility cannot be ruled out. ”

The more obedient of the two siblings is Will, and if he is in control, he will also take care of the self-confident eldest sister, the very responsible Connor.

Even if they are twin brothers and sisters, they are actually the same age.

Watching the two children follow Al back to the stairs, Melissa suddenly felt relaxed.

"So now this dead end, where to go? Well, magicians? ”

Captain Melissa Roger was the only one who knew nothing about magic per se, and Austin glanced at her, not delving into the obvious trick of two problematic young kids.

The merman walked to the center of the platform, looked at the ground, and frowned.

"There's a very peculiar mana fluctuation in it, which is not ordinary. I suspect that underneath this platform, there is a magic circle carved into it. ”

That's what Mogan thinks of when he sees the edge, but he does think that he shouldn't be at the level of Austin in magic.

After all, he is a professional, and Mogan can consciously look at the appearance and provide a little strength.

At least for now.

Lucifer also spoke, "The material on the surface of the earth should actually be a mulch formed by a mixture of various tree saps to cover the smell of its own material...... There is the sap of ordinary wood, as well as magic materials. But the real material should be yang gold wood. ”

He reached out and touched the ground, his index and middle fingers pressed lightly against the edge of the platform, knuckles flexed and stretched down.

This is actually quite a risky approach, after all, without knowing what lies underneath, it is easy for a fragile mage to be attacked suddenly, especially in the face of darkness where fire magic cannot illuminate it.

Seeing that Austin frowned, he was about to find a way to dissuade him, but he saw the mage in the wizard's robe speak again.

"It should be the unique fluctuation of the space-time type magic circle." Lucifer came to a conclusion at the speed of light, "But there is a magic blocking material attached to it, which one is exactly, you may need to go down to see what is underneath it, or directly trigger the circle itself." ”

His Majesty sometimes can't help but spread the knowledge to the end, and Mogan is also trying to redeem it, trying to find a way to divert attention from this particular situation first.

"The situation below is unknown, and there are also magic blocking materials, even if you can use flying magic or magic scrolls, they may not be able to work halfway. If we can confirm that there is no danger, we should be able to try to activate this magic array directly, and it is a big deal to set up a retreat first. ”

But Austin was quite persistent, or could be described as stubborn, and was not distracted by this degree of discourse.

His eyes burned as he stared at Lucifer Lestus, his eyes full of stern inquiry, not wary or habitually angry.
