"Guest, it's late, we're going to close the shop. Do you still have something to eat?" asked Monmer.

Serene asked, "Can we spend the night here?"

Meng Mo stared at Serian expressionlessly, not speaking.

Rick said directly, "Two portions of each dish of human food, and one portion of each dish of the demon. He pointed to the menu and added, "And these, these, for us tomorrow for breakfast." 」

Meng Mo nodded, "Of course we can spend the night! Our pleasure!" He took all the plates and washed them, and made what Xi Ke ordered, as well as another meal with a lot of fruits and vegetables.

That night, they slept on the floor of Appledream. After getting everything done, Monmo filled the kettle and went under the bar and disappeared.

Serenia had a short coat and a knight's cloak that covered her ankles. He gave the cloak to Rick, and Tick gave his long coat to Lysna. Seren, curled up in that short coat and fell asleep.

The knight's cloak is large, and this one is larger because of Seren's large physique. Rick can wrap himself in its entirety.

At first, he felt warm, but then he began to cough repeatedly, and pulling his cloak to cover his neck did not improve much. He caught a cold. In fact, he had a hoarse throat the day after the storm confused the ship, but now he began to have a real attack. The constant cough at night caused him to be unable to sleep, as if he was starting to have a fever, and his body felt very cold, as if he was lying on the stone floor without anything.

Rick closed his eyes tightly and endured the uncomfortable sensation. Later, a certain animal covered with fine hair lay down against him, and the heat on his body came to him, giving him warmth. Rick's night cough slowly stopped, and he fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, he didn't find any animals, but he found two shiny silver-white hairs on top of Seren's cloak.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

He also bought a lot of vegetables that could be used as spell materials with Meng Mo, and also bought long-handled iron pots, pointed kitchen knives, and long spoons at the "Iron Hook Substitute" next door, which could be used as spell equipment. He was unkempt and coughed and boiled some basic potions with him.

Se hurriedly straightened her hair and pulled her clothes neatly. The knight's neat habits just can't be changed.

They spent a lot of money, and the rest of the money was sorted out and stuffed into their pockets, and they didn't carry a big bag again.

When they were ready, they set off for the dock. They had to climb all the way up the boulder. At one point on the way, they stopped for lunch, and they sat on a big rock and ate meat rolls with the endless ocean in front of them.

Rick's physical strength was significantly worse than usual today, and he most often stopped to catch his breath. Seren, who had no problem at one point, offered to carry the seal up but was rejected. There was also an option to use flying, which was also rejected for fear of being seen. Lisina had no problem climbing in high heels, and climbed the first one. As she passed where she had crawled, she noticed that the stone had been scratched with claw marks.

By the time they approached the dock, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ahead was a flat area, with a pile of rubble at the bottom, which looked like a sign of looting and should have nothing of value in it. But they knew it was one of the entrances to the dockyard, leading to the most likely place where the Merger was kept.

There were black five-meter-long snakes crawling around on the ground near the entrance, and the heads of those snakes looked like pineapples covered with spikes. That's the guards.

Rick took out a bottle of potion, unplugged it, estimated the direction of the wind, and quickly moved to the upwind to spill it. The stinging snakes sucked in the evaporated potion, and they raised their heads and shook them twice before slumping to the ground.

Xi Ke and the others bypassed the paralyzed snakes and walked into the hole of the rubble pile.

Serene lifted her right foot and wiped her shoe with her fingers.

The hole is narrow, and they can only advance in a row, and they need to keep their heads down. As soon as Xi Ke touched the wall, it was full of tiny droplets, and the ground was quite slippery. The ground here is manually ground and then carved with grooves to prevent slipping. But now it's moss, and there are a lot of waste cables, so it's hard to walk. It is part of a large water conservancy system that used to be a traction device and is now just a mere vent.

They kept going until they saw light coming in from below and upwards in front of them.

A vertical pit was cut in the ground ahead. Rick stood on the edge of the pit and looked down, about a meter and a half from where he stood to the lower exit of the vertical pit. It is several hundred meters high from the lower end of the pit to the ground.

Underneath is a huge, artificially excavated cave, which may also have been an expansion of ancient buildings. It now looks like a shipyard, or a place to repair ships. Nick saw that there were deep, deep pools, and many of the good wood was placed on the smoothed stone floor beside the pool. There are also several large cantilever machines. There are no windows to let in the outside light. The lighting comes from numerous circular lamps embedded in the walls.

Under the lights, that water looks clean and clear. There is also no smell of seawater here. Xi Ke didn't understand that in this place, where even drinking water was severely lacking, there would be so much clean water to park the boat. The pirates may have taken control of an abundant source of water.

He watched for a while, and noticed that every twenty seconds a large iron bucket hanging from a cable passed under the mouth of the pit. There are sometimes people sitting in that bucket, and it is a means of transportation. They can time it to jump in and hitchhike.

Rick and Seren whispered to each other, and they calculated the time when the bucket would arrive, jumping down one after the other.

Serense was the first to jump into the barrel. This bucket is not very ideal, there are people in it. Serian stomped on one of the men's heads, and after a crisp "click" came up the bone, Serian pressed the other into the bottom of the barrel. The other was about to open his mouth to shout, when the second one who entered the barrel killed him with a single slash.

Lisina jumped down behind Syck. The three of them stepped on the two corpses, and the barrel looked a little crowded. They tried to keep their bodies steady so that the bucket would not sway and attract attention.

Now that the field of vision is wider, Rick can see the whole cave more clearly. The hole was bigger than what he could see through the pit, and the pool was bigger and deeper. It's the feeling of several shipyards connected together. There were several pools connected to waterways and conveyor belts, all of which were supposed to hold ten boats, but now there were only three. One of them was the Merger. Those two huge paddle wheels have never been seen in this place by any other boat.

Syk pointed the ship in the direction to Seren. Seren had seen it, he had confirmed Syck's judgment, and he clearly saw details that Syk could not see. The owner, Lofes, sat cross-legged alone on the main deck.

The problem was that the bucket they were riding in was heading in the opposite direction of the Merger. On the top of the cave, there are at least 20 cables and more than 30 iron barrels sliding around, crisscrossing to form a transportation network. There are five tall towers on the ground that jut out into this network, and are places for people to get up and down the iron buckets.

They passed in front of a tall tower, and the man standing on the top of the tower preparing to build an iron bucket saw their faces with murderous intent on their faces. Serian calculated the distance and knocked the man off the tower. The man let out a long scream and fell to the ground. Suddenly, all the pirates walking around below noticed that there was an intruder up there. They all looked up at the bucket they were sitting on. Some mages try to throw an attack spell but are stopped by their companions - it's bad to hit the bucket transport system.

Fighting a war in someone else's place has this advantage. The landlord tied his hands and feet, but the outsiders could destroy it at will. Any loss is only the loss of the landlord anyway. Some iron barrels with tracks higher than them passed above them. A bearded pirate with a grip tried to jump in and was thrown down by Seren. The other person held up a large smoking bucket of water, which could be acid or boiling water!

"Gray, come here!" Rick roared loudly that reverberated through the audience. He then felt a sharp pain in his throat. The throat that had been coughing all night could not withstand such persecution and was hit hard.

Like a gust of gray-dyed wind, his little gray demon traveled a distance of several hundred meters, rushing from the Merjie to the top of the Xike and enveloping them, swallowing all the liquid poured down in time.

"We have to change cars. Serense glanced at the end of the cable. The bucket they built would then go through the cave in the wall to another cave.

Nick swallowed in pain, unable to answer.

Another bucket approached from the opposite direction, about the same height as theirs, estimated to be about fifty centimeters at its closest.

Seren's eyes were firm and full of awareness, the eyes were strained, the eyebrows were tense, and the mouth was tense. It is as if a mountaineer is ready to challenge the sword-shaped peak. Nick knew at a glance that this guy was going to do something stupid, but he couldn't tell him not to do it.

Seren lunged forward, grabbed another bucket with his hand, hooked the edge of their original bucket with his foot, and the whole person hung in the air: "Hurry up!"

Syk just wanted to swear as much as he could, because Seren's obvious couldn't pull the bucket. Originally, his knees and elbows were bent, and they were gradually straightened. The power of this system is beyond human strength.

Lisna stepped on the edge of the bucket, then on Seren's back, and with a light jump, she entered the bucket opposite.

Serian snorted. It's a special experience to be stepped on by high heels for the first time in my life.

He lifted the hem of his mage's robe and climbed up to the edge of the barrel. Their iron bucket weighed two ballast stones, and they wouldn't be sidelined by the movements of Rick and Seren.

Rick stepped on Seren's back, and suddenly, he heard a grunt laugh.

The primordial elves are here again!

Although Xi Ke was mentally prepared this time, he was now suffering from a fever and dizziness, and it was not easy to just stand, and he had to step on a person's back to maintain balance, which was very reluctant. The primordial elf burrowed into his mage's robes, puffing them into a sail and ripping Syk off Seren's back.

At the same time, Xi Ke thought to himself: Weishenme couldn't pronounce a single sound at such a moment when he urgently needed to use expletives? At this moment, Seren's feet could no longer hook the original iron bucket, and he broke away from the edge and swung down. The weight of Seren's whole body shifted to the hand that grabbed the edge of the bucket.

The sudden extra weight of Seren, the liliang of the foot swing, and the momentum generated by the instant stop of the fall of the Xike were all exerted on the same iron bucket. Worst of all, it is still applied on the same side.

The bucket tilted about sixty degrees to one side on the spot, and Lisna was almost emptied. In desperation, she threw out her bright red whip and wrapped it around the place where the bucket and the cable met. As she pulled herself from falling out, the whip wrapped around the pulley, causing the bucket to stop moving.

The iron bucket maintained a state of two people hanging outside, tilted at sixty degrees, and stopped in the air at a fixed point.

The target will not move, and the pirates will no longer have to worry about hitting other things, and will cast spells one by one. Magical arrows of various colors flew towards them. Little Ash wrapped around them, blocking most of them, and some of Serens restored the holy sword to its sword form, holding the holy sword in one hand and bounced away.

Coincidentally, an arrow that was bounced off passed through the middle of the cable with precision.

Xike watched as there was a hole in the middle of the cable, and the broken fibers continued to peel off around it, and then the cable was completely disconnected.

Their buckets are now attached to cables. And the location of the cable break is quite close to them. So, like a pendulum hanging at the end of a long rope, they drew an arc path to the other end of the cave with the fixed point of the cable on the top of the cave as the center of the circle!

Vick clung to the edge of the bucket. The wind blew past him, the speed of which made the air feel like a hard wall, and he was being sliced through it like a blade. His clothes pressed against his body, his cheeks rubbed to the side, and every cell in his body was screaming, saying that he was falling.

Suddenly, Rick felt a lightness all over his body. In less than a second, he experienced a state of gravitylessness. It no longer matters which side of this shijie is the sky and which side is the earth. He was suspended in a place where no gravity could touch him.

Then came another fall!

Just as Syk was out of gravitational control, the cable's fixing point at the roof of the cave was torn off by tension. The bucket was freed and flew out in the direction indicated by inertia.

Xi Ke closed his eyes and prepared to face the impact, but the bucket rushed into a magical buffer net, and the speed slowed down steadily. After they rushed through the magic net, the remaining momentum was like jumping from the second floor.

Rick reacted quickly and made a landing motion. The muscles relax, protect the head, and use the joint action to turn the inertia horizontally. He rolled on the ground three times and hit the railing before coming to a stop, face down.

He lay quietly on the ground for more than ten seconds, waiting for his body to recover before raising his head. He saw that the shipowner, Lophis, was right in front of him, raising his hands to protect the ship from the arrows. Rick turned his head to see the huge paddle wheel holding the ship from side to side. He's back on the Merger!

He then saw Lisna walking with graceful steps, her hands busily joining the broken leather whip. The whip was a bit of a creature, the fracture fibers reaching out to the other on its own.

Nick didn't see Seren, only the iron bucket with its mouth downward, buckled upside down on the deck. It took a few seconds for Serenia to cut through the barrel with his sword and come out. At the same time, Xi Ke was relieved and thought to himself: I should pour the cement back before Serian came out.
