Chapter 303: The Lookout is suspicious
Afterwards, the rescued villagers stayed overnight aboard the submarine volcano.
By the way, the ship of the group, except for Roshi and his party, failed to stop the attack of the False God Cultists and unfortunately sank. The drying rack was sitting on the side of the boat watching when it sank.
Only a handful of the ship's crew survived, and the number of people who settled in the village was even more dead, with only a single digit number of survivors.
Fortunately, the man Jeffrey saw was not dead, and when Roshi saw him again, he was back on the coast, the knife in his hand stuck in the sand, staring with a stunned look at the wreckage of his ship floating on the sea.
I didn't have the heart to take care of strangers for the time being, so Luo Xi counted his situation first.
There were many casualties among the crew, half of the people in the village were gone, but all the people on board survived, and the attackers were killed by the drying rack as soon as they touched the boat, and finally they just cleaned up.
The main purpose of the cultists' attack on the ship was to sink the ship and trap them on the island, so there were not many people sent out in the first place. Not to mention that there are two more ships, and they are divided into two groups, and there are even fewer people.
It's a pity that the friend next door still couldn't hold on.
When Roshi saw the number of casualties among his own crew members in the village, even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt his blood pressure increase sharply.
He didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely not a sacrifice caused by the opponent's too strong strength.
Thinking of the doppelganger of the self-detonating jellyfish, the corners of Roshi's eyes twitched.
"Captain, relax, you must know that things like Wan Yi will grow out of the air." The elastic body of the drying rack swayed in relief.
But Roshi was not comforted at all.
Just sighed, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the "name" of the deceased.
To be precise, the code names of those doppelgangers, there are many abstract types, but Roshi's deletion can also modify these names in the Isaac language to be slightly more normal.
Tonight's events, he's enough to write down a lot of things.
Jeffrey really fell asleep in his dream, and the consumption was not small, and he was carried back by the clothes pole.
He woke up at dawn, just in time for the villagers to assemble their team and prepare for the village.
Jeffrey happened to go with him.
Rosie and Erlantu had talked before Jeffrey woke up, and Rosie didn't need anything like making amends, looking at the burned village, and the villagers with less than 100 people in front of him, he couldn't say anything to blame.
Fukong should be able to symbolically curse a few harsh words, but that's about it.
Again......
Thinking of the various materials that had been safely stored in the underground warehouse of the ship's hold at this time, Roshi thought that he really didn't have that thick skin.
For Wan Yi, group fights are originally fun, and team building is for everyone to show their achievements.
It's already happy, and almost looting took most of the supplies, which is already a lot of money.
What? What do you say about a dead doppelganger?
The doppelganger is worthless~.
At this time, the unlucky people who had lost the ship with heavy casualties found Roshi.
"Mr. Hunter, we ...... Hope it helps. "The little sturdy man was far less energetic than he had been when I first met him yesterday morning.
Hearing this, Luo Xi also replied directly: "You say." ”
The man then spoke to Roshi.
In the process, Roshi also learned the origin of the other party.
They are adventurers who go to sea under the auspices of a merchant family on land.
The sea is dangerous and crazy, but it also has a lot of wealth.
Sea monsters are dangerous creatures, but hunting them and giving them to different forces can also earn money that ordinary people can't imagine.
For a world where the sea is the main body, there is no way to do this kind of thing.
The man's name is Warren Felden.
He was the second son of the merchant family, and in order to find an opportunity to go to sea, he joined the family's sponsored fleet, but he did not expect to suffer this disaster not long after he went to sea.
Casualties, sinking ships, the losses behind this are difficult to estimate.
But at least, people have to go back.
He and Roshi discussed two plans, one was that Roxi's submarine volcano would take them back to the mainland.
If he didn't want to, it would be the second option, Warren would write a letter asking Roshi to pass it on to his family when he went to land, and ask his family to send someone to pick him up.
After discussing with Wan Yimen, Luo Xi happily chose the first plan.
It's a lot of trouble to send letters, isn't it good for everyone to go to sea happily together?
Warren was a little surprised to talk about the remuneration and finalize the matter so easily, and in the end he could only show respect to Roshi, the wild hunter.
"Roshi, they're ready to leave for the village, what do you say?" A cold voice came from behind Roshi.
Warren followed the sound, and Roshi stepped out of his position and saw the figure of Simaya.
"Oh, I'll go right away, there's something I want to check too." Roshi replied.
After saying that, he looked at Warren again, and found that Warren showed an obvious shocked expression, and even his face was pale, which was not very good.
"Hey, it's okay." Roshi asked.
Warren's lips trembled: "Sea Hunter ......"
When Simaya saw Warren's appearance, she just glanced at it, then turned her head and walked back.
To her, it seemed that this was what the average hunter should look like when she saw her.
"Do you know the Lookout?"
"That uniform is the outfit of the Lookout Hunter." Warren lowered his voice and looked at the slender tail of the great sword dragging behind Himaya.
"Did you meet this hunter on this island?"
"She's also been captured by the False Gods."
"That's exactly what happened." Warren was a little surprised, "No matter what, you have to keep your distance from the lookouts. ”
"Why? Isn't this a stick-holder, and a research institution? Roshi asked curiously.
"A few years ago, the lookout was still what you said he was, a well-known elite, but in the recent blasphemy, bad rumors spread among the lookout."
Warren hesitated for a moment and said, "It's said that they touched the disobedience of interfering with the flames with the power of the sea." ”
Roshi, with just the right amount of stupidity, told Warren about his doubts.
Warren's tone was originally quite heavy, and when he saw Roshi's puzzled look, he remembered that Roshi was most likely an "illiterate" from that remote island, and he almost didn't know anything.
"I can't say, according to what I've heard, sea and fire have always been antagonistic, even the fire hunters, they ride the two fierce horses of sea and fire, and there is always a risk of conflict."
Roshi remained confused.
Have it? He felt that he was doing well with both of them.
"And the lookouts, they rumored to have tried to completely merge the two, and it alarmed many people at the time, but the specifics are not for people like me to know." Warren glanced at Simaya's back, his eyes focused on her tail.
"Even excluding this crazy scandal, the hunters of the lookout are all eccentric characters beyond ordinary people's understanding. They have a particular way of adapting to the forces of the sea, which often leads to a marked alienation of the body. In other hunters, the alienation of their physical appearance is often a sign of loss of control, but they are able to maintain this balance. ”
"This secret is also what the lookouts have been hiding, in short, they are not a pure research institution, I hope you can be vigilant."
"And what is this knife of yours?" Roshi asked about Warren's sword.
This knife also seems to be able to mobilize the power of a sea monster of the sea.
"This is a sea monster weapon, a weapon made from sea monsters as materials, so that ordinary people can use extraordinary powers even if they don't become hunters. After being doused with the blood of a sea monster, it will briefly 'awaken' and further strengthen. But to be honest, it's not a good thing, there will always be strange sounds in my head after using it too much, and I can't sleep well, and I have to rest for a long time to recover. ”
"The person who invented this weapon must have been a genius." Roshi praised.
"That must be, but......" Warren paused, "it's also from the Lookout." ”
Roshi pouted.
Yes, while thinking that people are dangerous, they can't resist that people are big daddy, right?
After a few words with Warren, he turned and followed the group of villagers who were heading towards the ruins of the village.
There was so much information on this trip to the islands that I would probably need to sort it out a little more later.
