Chapter 6 The Good Citizen Who Mistakenly Enters the Den of Thieves

They were lost at sea for two days and never found a clue to their direction.

Rick has been working with Seren,

One day, when he was catching up on sleep, he had a nostalgic dream.

He dreamed of his hometown in the distant mountains, where there were only low bungalows, and adults had to bow their heads before entering, but the roofs were always high for Rick.

In the middle of the village, there is nothing paved on the path between the many bungalows. Except for the traces of human trampling, it is almost the same as outside the village. Adults seem to have said that there have been two times when flowers and plants suddenly overgrown in this place, and only then the path will be covered by plants. There was a five-year gap between the two, one in the spring and one in the winter. The winter one happened when Rick's mother was pregnant with him. The snow was full of flowers, and no one knew what was going on, only that the flowers were frozen. Rick still remembers the night when the adults said that the flowers had bloomed secretly, Rick's mother had a very strange dream, and something had entered the house, but Rick didn't remember the content.

Rick dreams of him going back to when he was still very short and short, back to the age when he needed to look up to see the expressions of adults. In the short spring, when the roofs of the village are full of small flowers, he walks on the bare path. His gaze swept from the bottom to the faces of the adults on the side of the road. Bright smile, healthy complexion, memories sparkle in the sun. He felt the warmth of the breeze, and heard the chatter of the villagers mingling into a small sound, like a soft blanket around him.

He kept walking, and he kept walking, and the little child felt as if he could find anything if he kept walking. He walked to the bottom of the village path, the beginning of the outside of the village, and saw his father standing by the village gate, a strong and reliable father. It was as if even if the sky fell, he would smile and hold his father with one hand, and reached out to touch his head.

Then he woke up. He was in a cramped bed. There is no sunlight here, only the endless sound of water coming from all directions.

He remembered some memories from his previous childhood.

In that village, the adults would work together, the children would play together, and the older children would take care of them.

Rick was relatively young, and was always brought with him. The boy who stayed in the village and was supposed to be a paladin was the older of them. His father, who was also a respected opinion leader in the village, seemed to be the only boy in the family, with the others being girls.

In his early memories, Rick remembered that the boy was often a conductor and decided where to play today. Later, he was recognized as an adult earlier than other children and went to help adults. At the time when they were still playing together, Rick had a particularly vivid memory.

He remembered that the sun had a peculiar yellow hue that day, and he found a hole outside the village where he could nest inside, and he nested inside. It was a very comfortable moment that made you want to stop there. Then the straw-haired boy appeared at the entrance of the cave and said to him with a smile, "Found it. 」

Rick rubbed his eyes and slowly moved out of bed. Seren, too, looked up from the pile of blankets on the ground.

Their ships may be moving farther and farther away from the normal area of operation. During the day, the sky is getting more and more purple. There are more and more strange plants in the surrounding sea. Some look like barnacles, some are full of fangs, and the common point is that they can't be touched, and if they touch it, they will be taken away. Nick threw the thing with an unwanted ball of paper, and the moment the plants bit down, as fast as an animal that was a hunter.

The food and water on board were plentiful, but there were still worries. Rick often felt the fishermen's inquiring gaze, wondering if the mages had found a solution.

Serian was no longer helpful. He's pretty sure he's only meddling in what he can do now. He didn't know if it was because of the words he had said two days earlier, or if Seren had cheered himself up.

The magic seagull released by Xike has never brought back good news, and the information brought back is of little value. He also unleashed magic spies in the water, but they were worse than seagulls, and they disappeared all at once. Rick suspected that the parts of the plants that could not be seen were more dangerous than the parts that could be seen.

Syk and Serenie on deck. Rick reached out and let a seagull that had just flown back to rest on his hand. Don't get hit by the wings. When the seagull folded its wings, he took off what the seagull had brought back from its bite and put it in his palm to inspect it.

It was a roll of paper about the size of a little finger, with a little brown silk inside. He tore open the paper roll, took something brown to his nose and sniffed it, it was tobacco. He mustered himself and grabbed the seagull by the neck, which shrunk in his hand and took the shape of a mirror in his hand, the mirrored part showing what it saw when it got the roll of tobacco.

It shows a small island full of people. The topography of the island is high in the middle and low on all sides, and along the hillside are covered with low bungalows, each of which seems to be of a different material, as if they were about to collapse. There are many shops selling different goods on the street, as well as gold and silver ornaments that look quite expensive. The people on the street are very different from each other, they are all dressed differently, and the common denominator is that they are all strong.

Syk said to Seren, "Go and ask Ferena to get up, I have found a city!"

Fifteen minutes later, the mages gathered in the chart room. The shipowner, Lopis, also came. Kick opened the paper he had used to cast the spell at the beginning, held a feather plucked from the seagull in the palm of his hand, recited a few incantations, raised his hand high, and spread his hand more than a meter above the surface of the paper, letting the feather fall. There was no wind in the room and no one was moving around. But the feathers still fluttered as if they were blown by the wind, and Zuihou floated to the upper left corner of the paper and stopped moving.

"Make our ship the central point, and there are towns in this part of our ship. Rick said, pointing to the feathers.

Rick told the others what he saw in the seagull's mirror, and showed them the mirror.

"It's supposed to be the Isle of Secluded. The ship's owner, Lopis, said. He walked over to the map of the sea on the wall and circled a blank area with his finger: "Then we are in this area. 」

Hearing the name, Syk took a breath, "Pirate Island?"

"Exactly. The shipowner, Lophis, sucked a red iron in, "A base camp for pirates and poachers." In this case, it can be explained that the weishenme nautical chart magic weapon will lose its effect. There are many spell barriers around the island that prevent the police from finding them. The ship's owner, Lophis, pale, sank, "We're probably the first group of good people to see the face of the Isle of Lost Things. 」

"We're going to turn around and leave right away, and I'm going to lift the speed limit. Chief Engineer Carlo said. No matter how he listened, he thought those people would kill them.

The shipowner, Lophis, kept his mouth shut, only a little of the tip of his tongue and licked his upper lip, saying, "My gut tells me it's too late. 」

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion was heard outside, and the hull of the ship shook violently.

"They've seen us. The shipowner, Lopis, said, looking at the large window in front of the room. Through the window, you can see that there are flames burning up the magic wall of the Murphy, drawing the invisible sphere that is not usually seen with tongues of fire. The siren sounded: "Attacked! Combat Configuration!"

The mages hurried to the deck.

On the left and right sides of the Merger were a large black steel battleship, each three times larger than theirs, which looked like fortresses sailing on the sea, and the barrels sticking out made it clear that the ships were not for peaceful use.

The fishermen all took out their twigs, and the captain commanded from the conning tower. Chief Engineer Carlo rushes into the engine room. The other mages are all on deck to fight.

The Merger is not a warship and has no war facilities. If a mage wants to attack with a spell, he can't pass through the muzzle of the cannon, so he can only cast a spell directly.

"What kind of madman would send so many boats against one fishing boat?" said Rick as he drew his sacrificial sword.

"The bad guys are very ruthless because they are afraid of being caught by the good guys. It's the so-called "outlaw". Not to mention the fishing boats, they would kill even two-year-olds like this. Serenia took off the needle from his sleeve and held it in his hand. The needle quickly lengthens and grows larger, restoring the original appearance of the holy sword. His holy sword is in the shape of a half-handed sword, made of deep purple-red wood, with gold streaks on closer inspection. The shape is very simple, just like a child's toy. The surface is shiny, but not the kind of brightness that is painted. That's the brightness of the wood itself. The sword has multiple burnt marks, including the hilt. The smell of wood wafted from the deck.

The sword didn't look like it could even cut through the grapefruit, and it wasn't very conspicuous, but Xi Ke knew that the power of the holy sword was not something that could be seen from the outside. It's just that he remembered that Seren's sword didn't have these scorch marks before. The Knight's Sword is like an extension of the knight's soul, and Syk doesn't know what happened to make it like this.

The black ship couldn't break through the wall of the Merjie with a round of bombardment, and the mage of this ship was too good. So they stuck to it and lowered the rope ladder. A large number of strange-looking enemies crawl down with magic saws that are shielded by magic saws. The circular saw disc came into contact with the shield of the Merger, sparking sparks. The area that is cut will be disturbed by the previous layer of magic, making it difficult to regenerate.

Rick stopped, took a moment to aim, and a fireball knocked a blue-skinned, bird-beaked man out into the sea. The man was immediately dragged to the bottom of the sea by the plants.

All of a sudden, the ship was filled with sparks, clangings, screams, and howls.

Captain Ferena put her staff on the deck. She let go of her hands to cast spells, but the staff would not fall to the ground. All Anglers have spherical shields on them at the same time. Flames appeared on the deck and burned everywhere, burning only the enemy, but not hurting the ship itself.

Syk saw a man with hair standing on end like grass, a face shaped like a papaya, and webbed fingers leaping onto the deck, and the spike pierced out from under his feet in that instant. As he wailed and fell to the ground, every inch of deck he touched sprouted a large number of spikes, turning him into a hedgehog. And there wasn't a needle where he didn't touch it.

Captain Ferena's spells are used in battles between ships at sea, and she usually buries a lot of spells on the ship waiting to be activated. The Merger is her territory.

But the enemy appeared in a steady stream. Rick saw other enemy ships appear on the sea in the distance. No matter how many traps she has hidden on the ship waiting to be activated, they will always run out.
