Sea Journey (9)

The magic is becoming more and more sluggish, singing is not the only means of interference for the Banshee, the fog on the sea blocks the effect of Elijah's spell, and perhaps she has fallen into illusion not long after the beginning, because of the white mist.

Ilya thought that the shopkeeper probably wouldn't have expected the sea fog to exist, and that Balubak, who had been here last time, didn't mention it, because neither the captain nor his crew were magicians.

But the fog shouldn't affect you much, as long as the store manager is there.

Unfortunately, he wasn't there.

"Ilya, I'll leave it to you next. โ€

The store manager who left this sentence must be dealing with something else, he believed in himself, and he let the store manager down, he actually let the Banshee of Selene kidnap Mike.

Ilya, you are such a hopeless fellow, and you need to pay a terrible price for your arrogance.

The frost swept by, and several banshees who pounced on them were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by Elijah. Hindered by the sea fog, the consumption of mana was unusually huge, Ilya felt exhausted, and she was about the only one left on the ship, and the surviving sailors were on guard while taking emergency treatment to Balubak. Gerak gasped for air as he propped himself up with his double-edged axe, the dwarven warrior's eyes still advancing, but his body could no longer support him. Laura's right hand was badly wounded, her bones were exposed to the air, and the intense pain made her tremble uncontrollably, and Laura gritted her teeth and didn't let out a single scream. As for the two Pierce and Balubuck who look like a bloody man, they can't do more reactions, you can always see Pierce at the front every time you fight, and this brave man on the battlefield will make you think that the usual humble and even a little cowardly look is deliberately pretended by Pierce.

It would probably be an honorable death to die in this sea like his past companions, Barubak, who was extremely weak, thought, but the countless hands on his body did not allow him to die like this. I barely opened my eyelids, and what I saw were panicked faces, and the blood on their faces made these guys look so young, just like they had left Mutou Village in the first place.

Yes, these guys are a group of young people, a group of children who have not yet grown up and have been abandoned by the world, and their own adults, extremely selfish adults, know the danger but resolutely bring them here to die.

Barubak tried to raise his hand, but as if he was weighed down by a boulder, he couldn't move for half a minute, and in the end, he couldn't even wipe the blood from the faces of these children.

Anyway, let me go to another world first and explore the way for them in advance.

......

...

Grack always likes to brag to others about how good and powerful he is, because he needs to cover it up and deny his weakness.

He thinks he's cautious enough to know enough about things after being reminded by Mr. Merchant, but a clear grasp of things won't be a "strong part" of yourself.

The moment the sea fog rose, it was just a moment, just a momentary distraction, obviously it was just such a short time, the blink of an eye, the overwhelming monsters that attacked the sky had already made Grad confused, if it weren't for Pierce......

Oh, damn Pierce, who the fuck told you to block that for me, and who the fuck told you to run into the enemy line like a fool after that?

Also, also, Laura, the stinking woman, the banshees have jumped in your face, and you still have time to take care of me, and shoot the feathered arrows in your hands at the banshee behind me instead of the claws in front of you, and lose a large piece of flesh and blood for this, in case you can't pull the bow again, what should you do? Don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out of the team alone......

Gerak hated his weakness.

Speaking loudly is to look more imposing, and the weapon is huge to look more powerful, but these momentum, these "powerful" of oneself in the end all rely on the two companions.

Grak, you're such an incompetent dwarf.

You can't protect two companions.

You can't even protect Mike.

......

...

The Selene Banshee's offensive began to slow down, and in their eyes, the human mage was already at the end of her power, and no matter how powerful her magic was, she would definitely not last a few rounds.

The picture began to wander a little, her vision was a little dizzy, and Ilya felt as if she was going to fall down in the next moment. She still needs to keep going, she must give the injured behind enough time to recover her strength, so as to ensure that there are still people who can continue to fight after she falls, and as long as she persists, the store manager will definitely come back and kill all the monsters left.

Poof

A ball of light rises from the bottom of the sea, and it is Mike, who is unconscious.

Ilya perked up, Ace did it, he did, he got Mike back.

There were many more with Mike, more Selenes, who went up to Daybreak and communicated with the banshees on the ship, in a hoarse and shrill voice that could not be understood, and the banshees pointed at Mike and then at Elijah, with playful smiles on their faces.

"Where's Ace?"

Mo Sang's cold words stunned Ilya, she looked at Mike who returned to her, only a thumb was left in her right hand, Mike's ring should have been lost, but at this time Mike was wearing a water ring on his left hand.

As if they understood Mosan's words, the Selen Banshees laughed heartily, and they shouted something at Mosan, and one of them pointed to his ugly mouth, and then rubbed his belly.

The ring on Mike's hand flickered, as if crying about the last moments of his former owner.

Ilya was stunned.

The next moment.

The thirsty magic in Elijah's body ignited a raging fire, she floated for a long time, the glass wand emitted a blazing temperature under the strong anger of its master, and the heterochromatic brilliance of Elijah's eyes was an existence that no darkness could swallow.

The sea was shaking, the fog was spreading as if frightened, the banshees were screaming, they were terrified, the humans who were about to become their delicacy were doing something madness.

The hull of the ship rose into the sky, and the Celean Banshee on the ship was shaken open and fell into the water, and the huge column of water held up the Daybreak, and then evolved into a large hand, and the five fingers tightly protected the hull of the ship.

The waves are monstrous, and a pair of ruthless eyes look down on all beings in the rolling waves, piercing the waves, and an ancient god descends into the world.

The Banshees of Selen began to swim to the bottom of the sea, trying to stay away from the deity, praying for the protection of the boundless sea. Unfortunately, the banshees didn't know that the god of the sea was named Garan, and he was the ruler of the sea.

A powerful force rushed up from the bottom of the sea, and no matter how hard the Banshee of Selen shook her tail, it still seemed so small in front of the whole sea, and the sea formed a round platform, and the banshees all landed on the round platform. They shake their heads, they bow down, they beg the gods for forgiveness, they are willing to change their lives in exchange for a glimmer of life.

It's just that the banshees got the wrong object.

The ninth-order magic "Garan's Wrath" is known to the world as the existence of the "inhuman realm".

The strong brilliant light made the corners of her eyes unbearable, and Ilya's eyes began to bleed, not only her eyes, but also her nose, mouth, and ears, and there were several blood marks on her face, and the green tendons on her hands burst out, and the surging blood in them seemed to explode in the next moment.

The god Garan wantonly absorbed the magic of the caster, its body became taller and taller, the outline of its body became clearer, it lowered its head, and looked at the group of low-level creatures begging for mercy with cold eyes, the god Garan raised his other hand into the canopy, and took a silver triangular fork from the sky.

The triangular fork of moderate size compared to Galo was a catastrophe for the Banshee of Selen, all begging for mercy was in vain, the arm fell, and the silver triangular fork slammed into the sea, the sea exploded, and the impact disturbed the entire sea, and the creatures of the sea were not survived by the gods.

The triangular fork flattened all.

At the same time, the god Galla's body turned back into the sea with an illusory shape, and the Daybreaker, which had lost its protection, began to fall with Ilya, and the ship's crew recovered from the shock of the gods' arrival, and in the face of the sudden weightlessness, Mossan pounced and hugged Mike, and the rest of the sailors supported and fixed themselves while protecting Balubak, Grack was so fierce that he inserted the double-edged axe into the ship's plank, and then grabbed Pierce and Laura.

When the Dawnbreaker, which was already badly damaged, fell to the surface of the sea at such an altitude, not only the hull of the ship, but also the people on board would fall into a puddle of mud.

At the critical moment, a figure shot out of the sea, approaching Ilya quickly, and the merchant steadily caught Ilya, who had lost consciousness and had a weak breath, and at the same time snapped his fingers, and the Dawnbreaker, which was about to touch the sea, suddenly slowed down and fell gently.

Ilya, whose hands were covered in wounds, and the sea was full of desolation.

The merchant looked in a trance, and for the first time he experienced confusion.

Ilya had a long, long dream, on a clear lake, alone adrift, the clear weather, the gentle breeze, made her feel that she could go on like this.

Until the warmth came from his hand.

Elijah slowly opened her heavy eyelids, and the first thing that caught her eye was the cracked ceiling of the ship's cabin, and then the expressionless merchant sitting on the edge of the bed, the warmth of his hand coming from him.

Sensing that Ilya had regained consciousness, the merchant was about to stand up and sit down slowly, he withdrew his hands, sat up straight, and looked at the other in silence.

Ilya asked, "Are you all okay?"

A simple sentence drained all her strength.

The merchant stared at the other party for a long time before saying, "You are seriously injured, all your internal organs are damaged, blood is accumulating, and now you are relying on foreign objects to recuperate, so you better not move, otherwise it will only make the situation worse and worse." If a person dares to use ninth-order magic, it is already a miracle that you are still alive. โ€

The answer was not asked, but Ilya could not refute it, and she could only look at the merchant quietly.

Merchant: "The Red Fang has been obtained, although there are some minor accidents, but it is basically in my plan, this loss I have long expected, it is just a few sailors, Mike's injuries are very light...... I have my own arrangements for the lost fingers. โ€

Ilya looked at the merchant quietly.

The merchant said to himself: " I was dragged away shortly after the battle began, because there was a soul seeker here who should not have appeared, and even a low-level monster like the Selian Banshee would also increase in strength after coming to the human world, but it turned out that you shouldn't have the luxury of protecting everyone in the first place, just assign the rings according to my arrangement, and concentrate on protecting the people on my list, so that you won't let the illusion of the Selian Banshee take advantage of it and affect you because of this unrealistic thought, remember, sacrifice is inevitable in anything. โ€

Ilya still looked at the merchant calmly.

The merchant continued: " This should have been a well-arranged journey, even if I only learned of the existence of the Banshee of Selen after the ship, but it only takes simple means to deal with these monsters, you can do it, yes, even if there are undead and soul seekers after the war, you just need to follow my orders and everything can be solved, but you just don't listen, and you make yourself look like this, and make Mike hurt, you should reflect on what you did wrong, yes, you are wrong in arrogance, in irrationality, in insistence. โ€

The merchant kept talking, analyzing, educating Ilya on how to handle things, until all was said, until there was nothing to say, until his back was bent.

Ilya, who had been listening for a long time, finally gathered some strength, and she said softly: "Store manager, since you think you are right. Ilya slowly raised her hand and stroked the merchant's cheek, "Then why do you look so miserable?"

The palm, which was weaker than the patient's, caused the merchant to bounce open like an electric shock, and the chair fell to the ground, and the merchant looked at Ilya on the bed in alarm.

I didn't make a mistake, even if there were other factors affecting the process, but as long as I did what I said and obeyed my orders, everything would end smoothly, and I had already calculated the sacrifices......

The words of rebuttal filled his throat but could not utter a word, and the merchant panicked, and he ran away as if he were fleeing.

Ilya lowered her hand, she had exhausted what little strength she had left, her body desperately needed to rest, and she closed her eyes again.

Manager, what exactly are you running away from and what are you pursuing?

......

...

On the deck, Mike was curled up at his feet, a short bamboo lying on his bandaged right hand.

Moissan, who came out of the cabin, found Mike, and he prepared for a while, and when he was able to make a decent smile on his face, he greeted Mike and said, "Hey Mike, what are you doing?"

Mike didn't move.

Mossan leaned his back against the edge of the boat and said, "It's finally been able to get back to the voyage, hasn't it taken a lot of time?"

Still speechless.

Mo Sanyi was silent and asked, "Do you know what this is in your hand?"

Mike finally moved.

Moissan: "It's called a bagpipe, it's a simple instrument, you can see there's a row of holes in it, this is a relic of Ace's mother." โ€

Mike looked up.

Blue skies and white clouds, and pleasant sea breezes, it is a good time to tell a story, and Moisan continued: "Ace was born on the border of the empire, and he and her mother, who was a clever woman, often made gadgets for Ace to use as toys and sold them at the market. She is also a gentle woman, a kind-hearted woman, and only such a woman can raise such an Ace. โ€

Mike lowered his head again, and he clutched the bagpipes in his arms, as if trying to give it a hug.

Mosan: "For us half-breeds, death is a normal thing, even if we are not half-bloods, there is no danger when we go out. He smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to feel uncomfortable, this world is not fair, the only fair moment for us is the moment when you are born like a human being, only at that moment, no matter who you are, you are just a new life in the world, and the fate after that has long been doomed." โ€

Mosan: "We don't hate discrimination, we have always embraced each other and lived in discrimination, but your presence has brought us a different feeling. A kid who wanted to wrestle with a half-breed guy -- come on, didn't you figure it out? It seemed to me at the time that it was a ridiculous joke. โ€

Mo San, probably reminiscing about the scene at that time, did not feel the seriousness of the topic he was talking about, and he continued: "I'm sorry, we're weird, aren't we? But we like this strangeness very much, because it's something that belongs only to us, and no one can interfere with it, in fact, we have long agreed with each other, and we have long expected each other's end, death, what a normal thing, why bother with it?"

Mo Sang talked eloquently, as if he was talking about trivial things, and he suddenly changed his words: "By the way, Mike, you know, this guy Ace was the first time you joined our game, after the captain took you to wrestle with us, and after that night, he actually told me that it is not bad to make friends with humans, and he would never say such things before, and it is impossible to even joke." โ€

Mike bit his lip, his front was wet with tears, and he couldn't hold back his tears, he understood Scarlet Riees's last words.

"Goodbye, Mike, goodbye, my friend. โ€

After saying this, Mo Sang looked up at the sky, he didn't want the water beads in his eyes to flow down, Mo Sang rubbed his face a few times and changed his smile again. Now the atmosphere on the ship is very bad, everyone is like a machine, repeating their work, and Moissanite needs to disturb this dead feeling. That's right, from now on he is their eldest brother, from the second brother to the eldest brother, and he was entrusted by the eldest brother on his deathbed to become the eldest brother.

Mo San took a big step, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, okay, you all work hard for me, our work has not been completed if we haven't returned to the port for a day, Kendi, what are you doing, go over and help Mogos carry the barrels on the ship over there, go quickly! and you Tigra, I told you to ......"

Mike, who had shrunk himself even smaller, cried silently, and the bagpipes in his hand had irreplaceable weight.

Ace, my friend.

What do you think can be done to create a fair world?

......

...

Balubak survived, his injuries were severe, but with his tenacious vitality, Barubak still locked himself in the captain's room, and he rarely left unless necessary. Now most of the affairs on the Dawnbreak are handed over to Moissan, just as they were handed over to Ace when they sailed, including now, Barubak can hear Mozรกn's voice pulling his voice outside and directing alone.

The axe hanging on the wall was wiped clean as if it had never been used, and Balubuck sat alone in his chair, not understanding why the great revenge had been avenged, and he was not at all happy that all the murderers of his former comrades had died.

What is the reason for this emptiness?

......

...

In the three-person cabin, Pierce, who was tied like a mummy, was resting on the bed, Laura was wiping the bow and arrow with her relatively good left hand, and Grad, who was accustomed to noise, was extremely silent, and the atmosphere of the three seemed to freeze.

Grad: "Am I useless?" the dwarven warrior asked himself, "yes, I'm useless indeed. โ€

Laura said calmly: "Don't say 'me', it's 'us'." โ€

The action of wiping the bow and arrow is getting harder and harder.

Gerak continued to be dumb.

After another moment of silence, Grack suddenly said, "Speaking of which, we haven't tried to put on a formal stage play together." โ€

Laura pauses.

The mummy on the bed silently clenched his fists.

Dean led Barron to the harbor, where the guards reported that they had seen the Daybreak through the telescope. This voyage took three months, leaving in early autumn and returning in winter.

Dean held the binoculars, under the two small lenses, he felt something strange, this time the journey did not seem to be going well, Dean only hoped that the merchant could bring back the Red Fang safely, which was very important to the Marquis.

The Daybreak grew as it got farther and bigger, and by the time it pulled aside, the scars on the hull made everyone gasp, what had happened to make a three-month-old long-distance ship look like it was now.

The merchant helped Elija down, and Mike followed with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Barron was about to go up but was stopped by Dean, the president of the Haikou City Chamber of Commerce did not step forward to make false politeness, nor did he engage in long-lost mutual sarcasm with the merchants, he realized that now was not a good time, the atmosphere on the ship was a little oppressive, and Dean had discovered that a multi-protected box was coming off the ship, and he knew that the purpose of this voyage had been achieved.

That's enough for Dean.

Barubak sat on a broken table in the harbor, he had no real feeling, his revenge plan that he had been waiting for for many years ended in a daze, yes, he felt like a daze.

Moisan came to Barubak with a group of surviving sailors, and the two sides looked at each other without saying a word.

Barubak suddenly began to remove the bandages on his hands, revealing new wounds that had not yet healed, and he spoke: "I didn't tell you when I first set off, in fact, this time I went to take revenge, before my crew was all killed by those disgusting monsters, I waited for five years, just to be able to kill them one day, so when I got this opportunity for revenge, all I had in mind was to do anything, yes, anything, including your lives." The words I would say when I sailed out were just to make you obedient, and I didn't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, I'm not a good person. Okay, it's over, where to go, what to do, anyway, President Chandeon has already paid you, now disappear from Lao Tzu's eyes, stinky boys. โ€

Men are always not good at showing their emotions, and sometimes they even do it so poorly.

Mossan found an empty seat beside Barubak and sat down, and the rest of the sailors sat on the floor one by one.

Seeing this, Balubak wanted to scold a few words, but he just laughed and sighed: "Alas, you are really a bunch of stupid boys whose heads have been kicked by donkeys. โ€

PS: There is something that needs to be explained, some time ago, because I was looking for a job, so there was more time to code words, and now I have found a job, and the number of words updated every day may change, and I can't code six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of words a day like now. I will continue to write this novel, and the first time I wrote it, I also hope that I can start and finish, and I can slowly improve in the process of writing, although there are not many people who read it, but I am very grateful for everyone's support.
