Nock and Leo walked to the staircase on the second floor,

Walk down the stairs to the cabin hall on the second floor.

With a canteen and office area, it is where the staff work.

It is also a place for ordinary passengers to eat and conduct temporary business.

As for the regular rooms, they are all on the ground floor and in the bottom cabin.

Therefore, when Nock and Leo go downstairs, they see the ship's leader with a hypocritical smile on his face, Kyle von Decker.

"Yo, isn't this the honorable Father Priest and his knights. Where are these big bags going? ”

Von Decker shouted exaggeratedly, for fear that others would not hear him.

Nock didn't care about the slightest bit of cynicism.

"It's nothing, it's just that the ticket was lost, and by the way, the employer was fired. So I plan to disembark temporarily.

Of course, if Deacon von Decker is reluctant to keep us and wants to keep us,

I can also reluctantly stay. ”

Nock said with a smile, and even directly handed von Dek a reason to let him fall into the well.

"Keep you? Hahaha, what kind of joke are you talking about! We at Ventures are only at the service of our customers.

If you don't have a ticket, it's an illegal carrying, and it's good if I don't ask you for compensation!

You still think I'm going to keep you poor people who don't even have the money to pay for the tickets! ”

Nock looked at von Decker with an exaggerated smile and the passengers who were attracted by his words, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

Although he didn't care about this cynicism, he was not interested in being a monkey onlooker.

"Since Deacon von Decker doesn't want to keep us, please take the trouble to pull the boat to the shore and let us disembark."

Nock's uncomplicated request was directly rejected by von Deckerke.

"Docking? You're thinking about fart! It's a wilderness, not a dock.

What if the ship runs aground? Even if it doesn't run aground,

But when you landed, you were attacked by a monster lurking on the shore?

Or are you actually in collusion with the robbers on the shore for a long time?

Deliberately tricked us into landing on the shore so that he could take the opportunity to rob us! ”

Von Decker's big hat was buttoned down, which directly aroused the common hatred of the onlookers.

"That's it, that's it! At this time, if you say that you want to get off the boat, you must be a spy! ”

"Arrest them, and wait for them to go ashore and send them to the officer!"

"Nope! I think I should just kill them and feed them to the fish! ”

Nock heard that there were people in the group who were not ashamed, and his face immediately turned angry.

"Bold! Who is going to kill Father Ben, and who is going to send Father Ben to the office!

When will the magistrates of the mere kingdoms have the right to hold accountable to the people of my holy church!

And the heretics who seek to murder the clergy of my Holy Church, do you want to be burned at the stake?

If so, please stand up and I will fulfill you! ”

"Fuck your mother's shit!"

In the crowd, a big man with thick eyebrows stood up, and it was Trevir, who had a gap with Nock.

"Humph! You are an impostor who dares to claim to be a priest of the Church.

I ask you, have you ever seen a priest in his early twenties?

The priest of the Church, who is not a respected old-timer!

One of the youngest and most promising priests I know is a priest in the northern Norman principality of Seine.

He was promoted to priesthood three years ago, at the age of thirty-eight!

You, a young man in your early twenties, dare to pretend to be a priest!

Qualifications alone are not enough!

So, I suggest you guys arrest this guy who is pretending to be a priest,

Wait until the next city, send him to the church for trial, and burn him at the stake! ”

Treville's words echoed in unison.

Seeing that a riot is about to break out on the second floor,

Nock looked at von Decker coldly and said:

"Why, Deacon von Decker also thinks I'm a fake and wants to gamble?

The price of losing a bet is cruel. ”

The corners of Vondecker's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to squeak.

Make it difficult for Nock, he dares.

Denying that Nock was not a priest, he didn't dare.

Whether Nock was impersonating or not, he didn't want to get involved.

The waters of the Holy Church are too deep.

If it were just an ordinary suppression of a certain clergyman of the Holy Church,

With the strength of the Venturus Chamber of Commerce, just do it, it's not a big deal.

But this kind of big case of pretending to be a priest, one is counted as one,

will be reported to the Holy See.

The Holy Church will send emissaries to investigate.

If true, the impostor will be hunted down by the church.

After being arrested and brought to justice, a public trial is held, and then the sentence is publicly executed.

To deter those who seek ill deterrence.

Therefore, there is no need to get involved in this kind of thing.

I want that Treville to encourage people to arrest people.

It's good to get it right.

If you get caught wrong, none of the participants will be able to escape, and they will be condemned for contempt of the church.

Seriously, you will really be burned at the stake!

Von Decker has traveled all over the world, and has served in various countries.

It's just that in the last two years, he has been in charge of regular ships in Flange.

It doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Therefore, he was silent.

Don't participate, don't stop.

Anyway, something happened, with the background and strength of the Chamber of Commerce, he can be saved.

Besides, his difficulties with Nock Lane and the others are completely reasonable.

Seeing that the person in charge didn't make a sound to stop it,

The passengers on the ship began to move.

Trevier is gearing up and planning to do it himself.

But at this moment.

"Boom!"

The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and there was a violent shaking.

"What's going on!"

Von Dek shouted nervously for the first time.

"Where are the scouting squad dead! Lao Tzu now, immediately, immediately to know what is going on! ”

"Yes!"

The ship's staff hurriedly received orders to contact the reconnaissance squad.

Von Decker is worthy of being the person in charge,

Although he is a little selfish, he has a small belly and chicken intestines.

But the ability is there.

I saw that he gave a lot of correct instructions in a row.

"Get all the crew back to work and give me control of the boat.

Tell the captain that he's only responsible for the safety of the ship's route, and we'll take care of the rest! ”

"Escort, all on deck, please all the passengers on the deck back to your accommodation."

"Repair team, stick to the hull and see if there is a problem!"

"Other staff, contact the professional among the passengers,

Make them combat-ready. If the convoy can't cope,

We'll recruit them in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to help defend it! ”

"Now, all the passengers in the hall have gone back to their lodgings.

It is not allowed to leave the accommodation without notice and permission!

Violators, once discovered, will be dealt with as spies and will be taken down.

If you dare to resist, you will be killed! ”

Von Decker's series of orders directly calmed everyone down.

Even the passengers calmed down from the panic at the beginning.

Even if there were one or two who wanted to make trouble occasionally, they were stopped by the people next to them.

Just kidding, at this time to make trouble, the Chamber of Commerce really dares to kill.

Nock and Leo looked at each other and were speechless.

Nock still stubbornly spoke:

"Mr. von Deck, I know now is not the time to disturb you. But what about the two of us?

We don't have a place to stay. Disembark, I don't think it's the time either.

Staying here, I don't think you'll be happy either.

You'd better get an idea.

I don't want to clash with your convoy at a time like this. ”

Nock's words reminded von Decker.

He was so nervous about the ship that he had indeed forgotten about the two of them.

"I don't have time to take care of you right now. Can't you go back to your room first?

Your former companions wouldn't be so desperate as to not take you in at such a time, would they?

Or did you do something angry and resentful, and you were really abandoned. ”

Nock rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother with the guy.

If you can't speak, don't open your mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he poked people's hearts, and he really wanted to shoot him.

"Alright, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. Since you can't arrange us.

I have a proposal. We both went on the top deck.

It's easy to see what's small in that place.

And it's all your people down there, and even if we want to make trouble, we won't be able to make waves.

And in exchange for staying, we will inform you as soon as we find anything above.

Of course, if you are not at ease, you can arrange for someone to go up and keep an eye on us.

How is it? ”

Von Decker thought about it and thought it was feasible.

After all, on the deck on the third floor, they didn't plan to arrange people to defend it.

If the enemy can break through to the third floor deck,

That shows that the first and second floors and the loss,

How long can the three floors be kept?

"Okay! Go up now, and I'll arrange for someone to watch you.

Don't make small moves, or I don't care if you, the priest, are true or not,

The Venturus Chamber of Commerce will not let you go. ”

“oK！”

Nock shrugged indifferently, and led Leo down the stairs again, directly onto the third floor deck.

"Your bow, my stern, find out the identity of the attacker first."

"No problem."

The two of them have a clear division of labor,

The two of them don't have to wait for information like von Decker did.

The ship was attacked.

And with the sense of vibration, the attackers attacked from the bottom of the boat.

Also thanks to the Chamber of Commerce's regular boats, the bottom and keel are made of precious firewood.

Ordinary attacks, I really can't help it.

"There was no sign of the enemy ahead. No suspicious was found on both sides of the strait! ”

Leo shouted.

Nock glanced at both sides of the strait,

After making sure that there were no demonic beasts on the river bank or on the bank, he immediately shouted.

"There is no suspicion on both sides of the rear!"

"Rear...... Suspicious targets found underwater in the rear!

It is advisable for the ship to speed up and get rid of the pursuers!

The personnel behind the deck on the first floor are ready for battle!

The goal is approaching you! ”

Nock reminded loudly.

Originally, the people on the deck were disdainful of the appearance of the two.

Hearing Leo's shouting, he sneered even more.

Later, Nock's shouting, they naturally didn't take it to heart.

But then Nok reminded them of the enemy, but they couldn't ignore it!

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!

The captain of the deck on the first floor hurriedly shouted:

"All the combatants on the rear deck are ready to fight, cheer up.

The observation group immediately observed the situation of the underwater enemy in the rear and analyzed the identity and origin of the enemy! ”

At the sound of an order, the escort team directly put on a battle formation.

Observers on deck even hold a telescope to observe the water behind them.

"Snakes! It's a snake monster! I saw the snake's head! ”

"That's not right! And also! So many snakes! It's all so big! Each one is thicker than my body! ”

"They're catching up! Hurry up and speed up! ”

The observer broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted out his observations.

However, Nock, who was standing on the third floor, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Quick! Get me a binoculars! It's fast! ”

Nock suddenly shouted loudly at the people on the second deck.

The man on the second floor deck glanced at Nock and sneered:

"Who uses you to meddle with things. We can do our own thing! ”

If the two of them were passengers, maybe they would be polite.

But they just received the news that the two guys on the third floor were about to be thrown off the boat.

If it hadn't been for the accident, I would have been out of ship by now.

Therefore, after discovering that Nock is not a protection target,

No one on the second floor wanted to talk to him.

Fortunately, the captain on the first floor remembered that it was Nok who reminded them of the enemy's location just now,

He immediately ordered: "The observation group, separate a telescope and send it to the top floor." ”

"Yes!"

One of the team members took the order, jumped and climbed all the way with binoculars, and climbed from the first deck to the third floor.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Nock took the telescope and thanked him casually.

Then, holding a telescope and condescendingly observing the enemy in the water behind.

Snakes, that's right, indeed.

It's just that this snake is a little weird.

Nock looked at the snakes moving side by side, and suddenly began to count.

"One, two, three, four, five, six."

"Six?"

"Side by side?"

"Wait! How they swim! ”

Nock suddenly reacted to why he thought something was wrong with these snakes.

Snakes swim in the water in the same way as they do on the shore, moving forward in an S-shape.

There's no reason why the latter ones are straight ahead!

Nock looked further back.

Suddenly, I noticed a dark shadow in the distance.

But what it is, Nock can't see clearly.

Suddenly, a green tree on the shore came into Nock's sight.

"Wait! Where are we now? ”

Nock suddenly grabbed the observer next to him and asked.

The observer was taken aback by Nock's reaction, and was momentarily confused by the question.

"Tell me where we're on the voyage now!"

Nock yelled again.

The observer hurriedly replied:

"It's a swampy forest! Moving on, we'll go around Fish-Man Bay and reach the swampy forest.

Drive through the swampy forest for half a day and you'll be on the next pier! ”

When Nock heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He shouted loudly downward.

"Stop the boat! Let the captain stop the ship! If you don't want us to be wiped out, hurry up and let the captain stop the ship and fight! Fast! ”

Nock's words surprised everyone on deck.

The captain of the deck on the second floor even scolded:

"You madman, are you deliberately causing trouble because you are about to be thrown off the ship, trying to kill us!"

"Although we don't mind fighting! But in case, the snake monster behind attacks the cabin, and the casualties are yours! ”

"That's it! A madman, what a mess! If they quarreled any more, they went up and tied him up. ”

Even the captain on the first floor didn't understand what Nock was doing.

"What a noise!"

Von Deck walked out of the second floor, stood on the deck, and yelled at his men.

"You guys are full of food and support, don't be vigilant, what are you arguing about here!"

"Deacon, it's not us who want to argue, it's the bastard up there who wants us to stop the boat!"

"What!"

Von Decker looked up, only to see Nock Lane already standing on the railing of the third floor deck,

A magical attack has been condensed in his hand.

"Nock Lane! What do you want! Don't mess around! Stimulated the monster's crazy attack, I'll kill you! ”

Nock gave him a blank look and shouted angrily.

"Your people do not believe me, but they will go into the forest to die, and I will not accompany you.

I can't stop you from stopping the ship, so I'll let you see with your own eyes the true face of the guy chasing us behind.

Seeing that guy, I don't believe you dare to move on! ”

"Crazy! Stop it! Above, what a daze! Stop him! ”

However, this member of the observation team, holding the telescope that Nock had dropped, was observing the dark shadow that Nock had said.

At that moment, Nock threw out the spell he had condensed.

"Shock Spear!"

A spear of light was thrown out by Nock with his right hand,

As the light flew out, a blast from Nock's left hand struck the tail of the spear.

Rumble!

The spear of light accelerated violently, turned into a sharp arrow, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Aang!"

"Whew!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Moo!"

"Na!"

Six screams came to mind at the same time, and six hideous snake heads burst out of the water.

Exposed to the water.

That height was taller than Nock standing on the third floor deck.

As the six heads of the snake are raised, the waves behind them roll,

A dark green island emerges from the water,

Four long, pillar-like legs stood up from the river.

"That'...... What is that! ”

Everyone was shocked.

Looking at the behemoth less than fifty meters behind the boat, everyone was dumbfounded.

The six-headed basilisk was physically ready to catch up with the regular ship.

"That's the Six-Headed Snake, also known as the Swamp Demon!

If you don't want us to be wiped out, stop the captain immediately. Otherwise, we will end up in a swampy forest with only a dead end!

Its speed in swampy terrain is comparable to that of a galewolf on the shore.

Not to mention, it can also manipulate the swamp to form terrain that traps us.

At that time, the ship could not move, and could only be beaten passively.

And its six heads have six attributes.

Able to spew out breath of six attributes. One careless, all the bones are gone.

Only by stopping here can we have any hope of a war.

There's water here, and its fire attribute doesn't exert much power.

In addition, it is not a good swimmer and does not move as fast in the water as in swamps.

What's more, because it has a fire attribute, it doesn't have a water attribute!

That is, its mud and fire attributes are restrained by the water attributes.

In this kind of terrain, its strength can only play six layers!

If you believe me, there is hope for this battle. If you don't believe it.

Then I'll take my people to find a way to jump ship and escape, I will definitely not go into the swamp with you to die! ”

Nock's words made everyone's eyelids jump.

They would love to say that Nock was alarmist.

But look at the monster behind them that was crazy because of its injuries, but could only pounce on its four legs and run towards them.

I couldn't help but believe three points.

Von Deke's face was cloudy, and he looked at the monster behind him,

looked at the captain of the second team beside him, and immediately asked in a low voice:

"How credible is his word?"

"I don't know. Although I would love to say that I don't believe him. But the performance of the monster in the rear,

It does look like he doesn't know how to swim. But I've never heard of a swamp demon.

And our regular boats have been going back and forth on the Seine for so many years, and we have not encountered this monster.

At most, it is attacked by the fishmen in Fisherman's Bay, or some strange fish in the water,

Some pythons sneak up on the passengers on the deck and so on. ”

Von Decker listened to the words of the captain of the second team, and looked at Nock above,

Suddenly there was a decision.

"Inform the captain, drop anchor and stop the ship! All combatants, get ready to fight!

Inform the adventurers among the passengers and ask them to assemble on deck, where they need their support at any time!

Everyone, do it now! ”

Von Decker is not a professional, he doesn't know how to fight.

But he knows how to judge the situation and use people.

So, he looked at Nock and cried out:

"Nock Lane, now that you know this monster,

I'll give you command of the team, how sure are you that you can defeat it! ”

Nock sneered, "Ishei." ”

"What! What are you kidding! ”

Nock yelled, "You were the one who was joking with me first!" I am not one of your convoys,

I don't know your strength at all.

There are even people in your convoy who look at me unpleasantly.

In this case, you let me command them to fight!

What are you kidding!

I don't interfere with your command, you let your people take charge.

I'm only responsible for reminding you how to fight! But it's up to you to decide!

I will support you in my own way.

By the way, if you can integrate the pros on board,

Get me a makeshift team with magic or ranged attacks, and I might be able to command it.

Others are not to be discussed. ”

Hear Nock tell the truth so bluntly.

Von Decker also knew that he was confused just now.

So, he looked at the captain of the second team and remembered his attitude just now.

looked at the captain of the first floor uneasily.

"From now on, the convoy is all under the command of a bunch of captains! The captain of the second team assists in commanding.

The two captains heeded Nock Lane's instructions to set up their offense and defense.

I went to integrate the professional among the passengers.

The battle is up to you! ”

"Yes! Deacon von Decker! ”

Nock glanced at von Deke appreciatively, and couldn't help but sigh:

"No one is perfect, although Lao Feng has a small belly. But it's not bad.

Being a deacon is a bit of a condescension. At this time, he can delegate power and not blindly command,

This is not something that anyone can do.

I'm kind of wanting to be friends with this guy. ”

Leo on the side laughed and scolded, "Come on." I don't know who it was just now, I can't wait to put him in a sack and throw him into the river to feed the fish! ”

Noreo's heart-piercing Nock smiled.

Begin to rein in your mind.

"Commander! After the boat has stopped for a while, it is necessary to pay attention to the defense.

The six-headed snake has six attribute raids.

The most terrifying thing is the poison type raid.

It was a purple venom that corrupted objects and poisoned living things.

Therefore, once its poisonous properties are confirmed in the head,

You'll have to find a ranged attack team dedicated to interrupting and intercepting its venom raids!

Fire magic, water and ice magic can intercept venom. But be careful not to get too close to the hull!

When venom falls into the water, it will be diluted by the water attribute and cannot threaten us.

But if you fall on the deck, the rising poison gas will poison people within three meters of you!

Three breaths to kill!

The spreading gas will infect other people in five seconds, and five breaths are hopeless!

So immediately let the rear staff wet the strips of cloth and let the combatants cover their mouths and noses.

Although it does not prevent poisoning, it can delay the duration of poisoning.

As soon as you spot Venom nearby, ask me for help immediately!

I'm a priest, and I'm proficient in light-based healing and dispelling negativity.

Got it! ”

"Also, the weakness of the six-headed snake is the heart. Its six skulls were destroyed, and it still took time to grow back.

But it's only one heart! Destroy its heart, and you'll kill it!

But its newness lies in its island-like body.

So, I need you to look as far as you can under its neck when you fight,

There are three identical patterns.

I don't know what the pattern looks like.

But as soon as you find that it's a combination of three patterns that look the same,

Report it immediately, or attack it directly.

Whenever he's mad or scared after being attacked, that's where his heart is.

Everybody look for a chance to attack that place! ”

Nock's barrage of prompts, though not conductors,

But he directly did the commanding thing.

The rest is just a matter of keeping the convoy in order.

The second captain looked at the man standing on the guardrail upstairs with an ugly face.

In the end, it was decided to follow orders.

He can't put his own life and the lives of others at the cost of his anger because he is angry.
