Chapter 493: News of the Necromancer
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, when I was first notified, he just told me to come here, and he didn't say what the specific task was." β
Philip suddenly said with a little sympathy: "Oh, I see, then I'll talk to you." That's right, a few days ago, I received a notice from above, saying that you will come over to take over our garrison in the next few days, and we will be transferred to Tidal City, a hundred miles to the north, I thought you would come a lot of people, but I didn't expect that there were only six of you, although this is not big, but it is not small, only the six of you may not be enough. β
Speaking of this, Philip gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, anyway, the time limit stipulated in the order is still ten days, or if you find a way to find some helpers to come over, we can stay for a while." β
Listening to Philip's words, the faces of several squad leaders were disappointed, but Ouyang Feng felt that Philip was a good person, he could see that whether it was those squad leaders, ordinary soldiers, or Philip himself, they were all eager to leave this deserted island, but he could make a decision, which showed that Philip was a very enthusiastic person.
Ouyang Feng didn't say anything, frowned and said, "The alliance asked us to change the guard, and we didn't tell me before, doesn't the alliance have other deployments?"
Philip shook his head and said: "As far as I know, it seems that no, the alliance has achieved good results in the interior recently, occupying a lot of the territory of the Centaur Alliance, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and a lot of people have been transferred from our islands to support some time ago, and there should be no extra manpower for a while." But don't worry, this is a place. I don't see a few people all year round. Except that life is a little harder. The rest is still very relaxed. Ouyang Feng smiled secretly, you used to be like that, but now it's different, especially after we came, this place will definitely not be so calm.
Qingfeng frowned and asked, "You guys are on the island, what about the supplies?"
Philip could feel that the cultivation of these people was not low, and they were not below him. Although the newspaper said that these people were headed by Ouyang Feng, he didn't want to offend others, so he patiently introduced: "Alas, the alliance doesn't know what to think, it's okay to send so many of us to guard such a broken place, but the alliance strictly ordered us not to leave the island for half a step, which is a bit unsatisfactory." As for supplies, the alliance will send someone to deliver a month's worth of supplies every month. This point of the alliance is passable, grain, meat and vegetables. There is even wine, and it is definitely enough to eat, and there is a shallow sea on the west side of the island, although there are more reefs, but there is a lot of seafood in it, and the taste will be known for yourself when you taste it. β
Hongshang didn't care about any delicious seafood, and asked, "You don't have anything to wear here?"
Philip shrugged helplessly and said: "The ship is gone, besides, what can happen here?" If the Centaur Alliance comes, we will only have to fight to the death, fortunately, the Centaur Alliance doesn't care much about the island, I heard that there has been no war here for many years. β
Seeing Ouyang Feng's smiling eyes, Philip coughed lightly and whispered: "Actually, it's not that there is no boat, we have been here for so long, if we stayed on the island all the time, we would have been crazy all the time." Anyway, we had time, so we made a few small boats ourselves, hid them in warehouses, and every month we would take turns sneaking out and going to the fishing village to relax. We won't take these ships with us, we'll leave them to you, and we may be able to use them again at a critical time. β
Ouyang Feng smiled gratefully, and then asked, "Didn't say anything else, such as how long are we going to stay here or something?"
Philip shook his head and said with some sympathy, "No." β
At this time, several fireheads wore aprons and sent large pots of seafood with relieved smiles on their faces, and also brought several large bottles of red wine, Philip greeted with a hearty smile and said: "Come, you are all hungry, try the lobsters and conch produced here, these two things are very famous in the neighborhood." β
Ouyang Feng vomited the contents of his stomach when he came, and he was really hungry at this time, but the feeling of seasickness had not yet fully recovered, and his stomach was empty but he had no appetite.
After taking the two largest saltwater lobsters for Hongshang and Elena, Ouyang Feng looked at the pots of all kinds of seafood and said, "You caught these by yourself?"
Philip gnawed on a large conch, swallowed a mouth full of conch meat and didn't care about any image, wiped off the water stains at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said proudly: "Yes, I haven't practiced anything else over the years, but the little cubs below have practiced the water one by one, and these things are caught by the little cubs in the water." β
Ouyang Feng ate a shellfish seafood, felt that the taste was very good, very fresh, and the taste was also very good, nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious, you eat these every day, it's really enjoyable." β
The captain sighed and said: "We thought the same thing at the beginning, but although the things are good, we have long been tired of eating them every day, and now we prefer to eat vegetables, but that thing is not easy to preserve, and we can only eat it for a few days a month when supplies are delivered." β
Philip glanced at the squad leader who spoke, and said to Ouyang Feng with a smile: "Don't listen to him, your cultivation is so high, and now when the alliance has something to do, the above should not let you stay here for too long." Ouyang Feng smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Next, everyone was eating and talking, Ouyang Feng and the others asked about some precautions and defense priorities on the island, Philip knew everything, and also told Ouyang Feng about his experience over the years, such as when the tide rises, when the tide goes down, what kind of seafood is in a place after the low tide, etc., everything is explained in detail.
In the end, Ouyang Feng asked the question he had been wondering about: "That, what's going on with the fog and skeleton shelves on the edge of the island?"
Philip and the others were stunned when they heard this, and then their faces showed embarrassment, and finally Philip replied: "As you think, we have a necromancer here, but don't think about it, he is not an evil necromancer, he just learned necromancer, and those skeletons were not made from the grave as others said, but two pirates who did nothing evil were killed by the master invited by the fishing village and thrown into the wild." β
Ouyang Feng nodded, he didn't care about these irrelevant, he wasn't a savior, as long as he didn't provoke him, even if the necromancer killed people and set fires, he didn't bother to care.
Ouyang Feng asked curiously, "What about this necromancer, why didn't you come over?"
Philip shrugged his shoulders and said: "Petty, she practices necromancy, and usually only stays in her little dark room, and rarely comes out during the day, and she doesn't like to live people, forgive me." β
Elena was shocked and said, "Petty, is it a woman?"
Philip nodded and said: "Yes, don't say you don't believe it, I've been on this island for several years, and I've only met Petty twice, I thought Miss Petty was the same as the legendary necromancer, but the truth is very different, Miss Petty is very beautiful, she looks like she is about thirty years old, and she speaks very well, and she is also very easy-going with people, I don't look like a necromancer, but more like an angel of a god cultivator." β
Ouyang Feng said in surprise, "Have you ever seen a God Cultivator?"
Philip shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, those guys are too mysterious, I heard that there are a few in the alliance, but those are all big masters at the Jindan level, not something that a small person like me can see." β
Philip continued, "By the way, Miss Petty will not leave with us, she will always stay on the island, and you will be neighbors from now on." β
Reddress was surprised and asked, "Why did Petty stay?
Philip shook his head and said, "She's from the Alliance, but I don't know why she stayed, that's what it means." β
Mingyue frowned when he heard this, because his first thought was that Petty might have offended some big people like Elena, so he was left here as cannon fodder, wanting her to fend for herself.
Ouyang Feng, Mingyue and the monkey had no appetite because of seasickness, Hongshang and Elena didn't eat much, and Qingfeng was not very interested in seafood, so this sumptuous seafood feast ended hastily.
After the meal, Philip took Ouyang Feng and his party around the island, explained the purpose of the buildings on the island and some precautions, and then said goodbye and left, and went back to pack up like everyone else, preparing to leave this isolated and dilapidated place.
Ouyang Feng didn't care about Philip's hot move, and casually found a temporary stone house to rest, and discussed the next things by the way.
Qingfeng spoke first: "Philip, they are gone, such a big island is handed over to us, I don't know what the alliance has in mind?
Ouyang Feng sighed and said: "I think it should be the latter, if the alliance wants to exile us, it is unwanted, we just use this time to break through, and if the alliance plans to do so, it will not be so fanfare, it can just ignore us." I still think that there must be some action in the Centaur Alliance recently, and it is likely that it is the same as previously guessed, they plan to expand the sea route to make up for the loss due to the temporary disadvantage on land, and maintain a balance, they will not be willing to admit defeat, and plan to fight back through the sea route or something. In this case, this reef island is their first target, and the alliance wants us to garrison us just to send us to death. "Elena was naΓ―ve and didn't think the alliance would be so shameless.
