Chapter 2: Sea Dragon
The sea breeze blows in your face and seagulls flutter in the harbor pier.
Lawrence stood on the deck of the large ship and looked at the harbor in the distance, and quickly turned and walked to the higher floors behind him.
The ship at your feet is called the Sea Breeze, and it is a clipper made specifically to escort the big shots.
In addition to being fast, it is also stable enough to carry more than 500 people into the house to take shelter, and there is a special kitchen for cooking on board, as well as two bathrooms.
The places where ordinary people take a bath and go to the toilet are all in the stern, and Lawrence and others are in the upper position in the bow and the middle of the ship.
The Seabreeze was armed with cannons and iron planks, and although it was not equipped with a steam power system, it had plenty of sails to work with.
Lawrence supervised the embarkation of his men and the return of them to their respective positions.
After waiting for a while, Luke and his men walked over.
"The Prophet, the Guard, and the Combat Team are already resting in the house."
Lawrence saw that Luke had arranged this and nodded.
"Well, those elves don't like to be around people either, just serve them food on time, this trip won't last long."
Luke looked at the sea in the distance, which was the direction Lawrence was looking at.
All Luke could see was the sea and the sky, "Prophet, how long will it take this time?" ”
"For about a month, I only stayed in each country for two or three days, and most of the time I was on the road." Lawrence smiled, "Are you in a hurry to go home and build your territory?" ”
Luke quickly said, "No, I would love to be able to learn from you as a prophet!" ”
Lawrence was very kind to the young man.
"You can learn a lot of things in daily life, and there is nothing wrong with learning, but people must also have their own persistence, not that what they learn must be imitated and tried."
"You are an adult, you are no longer a child, and in the future, you will understand a lot of truths and know what is good and what is bad."
Luke said, "Yes, Prophet! ”
Lawrence looked at the immature teenager, who was not yet twelve or thirteen years old and was not as weak as he seemed.
"You made a lot of contributions when you attacked the Green Forest Kingdom before, and after you come back from my trip with me this time, it's almost time for you to shoulder the heavy responsibility of your family."
"It's too early for you to get married, it's almost time to wait for two years, and now to be honest, there are too few options to choose from, do you have a girl you like?"
Luke shook his head and said embarrassedly, "But there are a lot of Durella people who say they like me, and I also received wine and bread from girls. ”
"That's the expression of love." Lawrence smiled, "In our tradition here, girls give bread to boys, that's what it means, what about your answer?" ”
Luke replied, "I don't know those people, I don't know their names, and the marriage is up to you, the prophet, so I ignore them." ”
Lawrence thought of um
Compared to um , Luke is more sedate.
um actually has no problem, the matter between him and Gurney is something that both families agree on, the only mistake is that he does not respect the rules set by Lawrence, and he has to do the last thing without asking for advice.
This is not a problem in ordinary families, but in a family like Lawrence, which is dominated by slavery, it is equivalent to taking the lead in breaking Lawrence's authority.
It is also equivalent to the owner saying that he needs to ask for instructions before eating, and he will agree every time, so one day he directly does not ask the owner, and then eats by himself.
Lawrence gave um a chance to perform, and um didn't take it.
Now um has been placed in the territory of Fryth to cultivate the farmland, and has become an ordinary farmer, and will become a free citizen in the future.
Lawrence did not interfere with Luke's marriage, "You are capable and good-looking, there is no need to rush this kind of thing, the first time I was sixteen or seventeen years old, with my current wife Sariel." ”
"If you want to find a woman who can be with you for decades, then you need to consider more than just appearance and personality."
"This kind of thing you need to think about for yourself, it's much more complicated than fighting and killing people."
"But if you can fight and kill, you will feel that this kind of thing will not be too difficult."
Luke didn't understand Lawrence's words, but he still said formulaically, "Yes, Prophet!" ”
Lawrence believes that Luke can be the head of the family because his fists are strong enough to make sense of many things.
This era is a barbaric era that is more ancient than ancient times, and a general who leads troops to fight and kills people does not need to worry about family and marriage problems at all.
It's useless to roll around, these barbarians are not reasonable characters.
Lawrence didn't continue to say to Luke, "Go down and rest, I'll think about something by myself." ”
"Yes!" Luke quickly led the people down.
After Luke left, Lawrence sat down in the chair brought by the maid, looking at the sea and sky in the distance and thinking about things.
The status of women in the Land of Stars is not high, although many of the people around them are women, even the speakers of authoritative institutions such as monasteries and churches.
But the Land of the Stars has always been a barbaric kingdom where men are the masters of the house.
Witches never cared about the status of other women, they only pursued their own comfortable lives, and completely used the female humans outside as slaves and inferior creatures, without thinking about improving the social status of those people, and they would not be the masters of their own affairs.
Lawrence's basic plate is a barbarian who can fight, and naturally he will not do anything to destroy the city walls.
There are so many resources, if they are not given to the men who go out to fight and work, can they be given to the women who are nesting in the rear?
Sariel, Sophia, Delen, and Keharlan are all women who have really been on the battlefield, and there are not a few people who have been killed.
Other women have not gone to the battlefield to kill people, nor have they fought bravely in the battle to protect their homeland, so why should they be respected by men?
The gentlemanly demeanor is handed over to outsiders, and he is a barbarian, and he is not convinced.
Monogamy is taught outside, and Lawrence practices polygamy here, even if he knows that this system is not good, he does not plan to change it.
Lawrence didn't want to solve problems that were too far away, he didn't want to improve his moral level at all, he just wanted to live comfortably.
More pressing issues now than moral construction are the issue of strength.
Lawrence squinted at the ocean in the distance, listening to the movements nearby.
After a minute, Lawrence found himself still average.
"My eyesight, smell, and hearing have always been at an ordinary level, and although my combat intuition and speed are already very fast, my strength and physical strength are good enough, and my recovery ability is quite good, I still haven't left the realm of mortals."
"Now there are quite a few people in the country of stars, and after constantly strengthening my reputation, there are more and more believers everywhere, but my strength has not increased much."
"Cultivation and labor can no longer strengthen the body, nor can benevolent and industrious beings provide additional blessings."
"The number and satisfaction of believers should be twice as high as before, and if that doesn't work, does that prove that the faith in this land can only go so far?"
"Is it my own barbarian bloodline limit, or is it the carrying limit of this land?"
"This visit to the West has strengthened my prestige and sense of existence, and made people in several Western countries aware of my existence."
"If that still doesn't work, it's time to ask someone from the Holy See for reference."
Lawrence thought about it, and suddenly felt a little funny.
"I'm not even thirty years old, why do you think about such long-term things all day long?"
"No matter whether I can find a way to become stronger, I can't slack off, I should maintain my health or maintain my health, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to my daily work and rest time."
Lawrence didn't need to live forever, even if he only had seventy or eighty years to live.
Witches like Sariel, Sophia, and Heidi don't live too long, and if they can live to be a hundred years old, then they will live to be eighty or ninety years old.
As Lawrence thought about the future, the bottom of the ship suddenly swayed.
Lawrence quickly stood up, and within seconds Avenra and Kassandra rushed out with their weapons.
Luke and the wizards in the cabin came out one after another, and the nearby sailors held on to the nearby railings to stabilize their bodies.
"Something hit the bottom of the boat."
Lawrence quickly spoke his judgment and walked to the bow of the ship to look at the water below.
There were no problems in the sea ahead, and the rocking of the big ship was not noticeable, and calm quickly returned.
"Prophet! There are sea beasts in the stern! ”
"It's Arumonka!"
Lawrence frowned and looked at the stern position, because the hull of the ship could not see the water behind him at all.
At this time, Alondo walked over, "Prophet, do you need to kill the big fish below?" ”
Dalian walked up to Lawrence and whispered, "Prophet, Arumunka is supposed to be a sea dragonfish, a giant black fish with a huge mouth that can bite off ships, and some of its bodies can be twenty meters long, which is very strong. ”
Alondo said directly: "As soon as it comes out, I will kill it." ”
Lawrence didn't doubt Alondo's words, even if Alondo couldn't, there were so many wizards and barbarians here who couldn't just watch the excitement.
While Lawrence was thinking about what to do, someone's hands and feet moved faster than their brains.
Only a few sounds of falling water were heard, and the rear quickly shouted.
"Someone's in the water!"
"Draco jumped into the water!"
"Andan also went down!"
"I'll do it too!"
"I want to give the heart of the monster in the water to the prophet!"
Lawrence felt his scalp tingle and quickly yelled, "Don't go into the water yet!" ”
Lawrence was a little late, and by the time Lawrence and the men came to the side of the ship to check on the situation, more than a dozen people had already jumped into the sea, looking for the terrifying beast in the water.
The black arowana didn't hide from these strange little creatures, and its huge body quickly swam through the water behind it.
After surfacing to the surface, Lawrence also saw the monster's body.
Its body resembles a giant crocodile with a velociraptor head, and even though part of its body is still under the sea, the overall outline can be seen through the shadows in the sea.
It is not twenty meters long, it looks like it is twenty-five meters, and it has no scales, only smooth fat like seals and whales.
The black body has many brown spots, and the body is somewhat like a black fish, with seal-like limbs and a thick tail.
The yellow eyes were full of the cold posture of the hunter, and the huge mouth more than four meters long quickly opened, and the huge mouth full of sharp teeth quickly bit at the two nearest barbarians.
At close range, the two nearest barbarians saw only a bloody mouth, and they were so frightened that they floated motionless in the sea.
At the critical moment, Drake, who was the first to enter the water, and another barbarian swam over quickly.
They didn't do it to save people, they did it to hunt!
Draco's body exerted its greatest strength excitedly, and after quickly approaching the giant mouth, his hands slammed into the sea water in front of him, and the whole body skipped over the teeth of the giant mouth and directly followed the sea water into the blood-colored mouth of the giant beast.
Seeing this, Lawrence was about to save someone, but soon saw Decora's excited expression as he grabbed the Arowana's teeth with one hand.
The man's face was covered in black war streaks, and beneath his bald head was a pair of bloodthirsty eyes that were extremely excited.
Lawrence didn't say anything, and quietly watched as these unfathomable barbarians performed their show.
Live or die, no one will laugh at them.
Drak's friend also approached the drakemon, whose mouth was closed and still swimming towards the boat.
The mouth of the Arowana touched the human, who looked like a fish.
Soon, the humans let the sea drake know what a thorn is!
The man took out the sharp sword at his waist and stabbed it into the Sea Dragon Beast's thick mouth, which was more than a meter and a half.
The fat skin of the Arowana was several times thicker than this knife, but it still felt the stinging pain, and quickly shook its mouth to drive the stinging fish away.
The man's knife quickly cut a slit in the sea dragon's mouth.
Although the wound of more than one meter was cut, the fat of the sea dragon was very thick, and the pressure caused the fat to quickly gather together again, and it also tightened the sword.
The man holding the sword tightly thus maintained his distance from the sea dragon in the sea dragon's huge movements.
The more the sea dragon felt pain, the tighter the muscles above his lips became, and the more he couldn't shake off the man.
The painful sea dragon quickly opened its mouth, trying to eat the uncomfortable thorny fish into its mouth.
At this time, Draco, who was thrown away by the tremendous force generated by the swaying, also found a foothold in the mouth of the sea dragon.
A tingling pain erupted from the sea dragon's mouth, and the sea dragon jerked up its jaw and roared into the sky.
A large amount of seawater spat out from the sea dragon's mouth, and Draco, who was about to fall into the sea dragon's throat, was quickly pushed out by the thick current of water and sprayed into the air more than ten meters above the sea surface.
"Hahaha! I'm out! ”
Della makes a triumphant declaration!
The man quickly landed on the sea dragon's back, and then stabbed the big man in the back.
"Up!"
I don't know who said it, but the barbarian warriors in the nearby sea quickly surrounded the giant beast hundreds of times larger than them like ants.
Lawrence was silent, as were the nearby elves, except for a few barbarians who roared excitedly for their dead companions in the water. (End of chapter)
