City of Dimlight

Chapter 108 Damaged ship

After the winter explosion, the ocean has returned to its former calmness. Although there are still many unspeakable crises hidden in the earth and sea, after all, there are not so many naked dangers, which makes people feel much better.

The sea breeze blew, giving people a salty and wet feeling. Bosk lay lazily on the deck and chatted with Larry beside him without saying a word: "I hope I can arrive safely and earn gold coins safely!"

"That doesn't want to be like this?" Larry threw out the hook in his hand: "Do you think I was born to like fighting and killing?" He took a small bottle from his arms and took a sip: "Who can't enjoy life?"

"Hey," Bosk laughed a few times: "I just don't know what Brother Leo is doing now!"

"He? Most of the time, there is something wrong - otherwise, do you think he will run back to his third princess? Larry spoke directly about the center.

"But now--" When he said this, Boskerton paused and seemed to sigh: "Even Brother Leo comes back, it's difficult to do!"

"We have to deal with our own affairs. Let's not worry too much! - It can't help!" Larry picked up the wine bottle again and was about to drink. Suddenly, the fishing line suddenly pulled down, and the fishing line was pulled out for a long time.

"Oh! A fish is hooked!" Larry said happily. He didn't move much. He just pulled hard, and a big fish more than a foot long were pulled out of the water and fell on the deck with a 'bang', swinging his tail desperately.

The elves are opposed to killing and generally do not eat animal meat. Although fish and eggs are not meat in the elves' doctrine, most elves are very opposed to this, so they saw Larry fishing. Although the elves did not object, no one came up to help.

They don't like this. Most elves are willing to starve and don't want to do anything to kill lives. That is, the human attitude towards life has prompted many elves to be unwilling to contact with human beings, so the entry conditions of the elf kingdom are also quite strict.

Several elves on the deck frowned when they saw Larry catching fish. The elf girl even turned directly out of the cabin and gave these people a direct white eye.

Bosk didn't care so much, he rushed up and pressed the fish. "Bring a bucket, I'll catch it!" He shouted to Larry, "Although it's ugly, maybe it will taste good!" Just as he turned around, the fish suddenly shook and slipped out of his hand and bit his arm.

"Kka!"

The fish did not bite Bosk, but bit the leg of a chair - the leg of the chair was bitten off!

Larry turned around, and the elf elder Regis appeared in front of him with a serious face, "We are in big trouble! - This is a scary fish in the sea, usually in groups!" As if to prove his words, the sea began to boil, and from time to time, you could see the fish jumping out of the water, but it quickly went to the bottom of the boat. The elder threw the chair leg in his hand on the ground, "Crazy?"

An elf rushed to the deck and shouted in horror, "Ear! The elders are not good! - Fear of fish is starting to eat the bottom of our boat!" Following his footsteps, many elves have picked up bows and arrows and began to shoot down from the starboard.

"Just drive them away!" The martial arts master of the caravan shouted, "The magician uses ice arrows!" The arrows and magic all poured down to the side of the boat, but there was not much movement on the surface of the water, and it was even said that the fish did not slow down the speed of their gnawing the boat.

"Elew! What should I do? The martial arts chief obviously had never seen such a scene and quickly panicked.

"Go and bring up the boxes at the bottom of the boat!" Elder Regis said, "You put down the things inside and see if you can calm them down!" As an elf who has been traveling back and forth on this channel for decades, he clearly knows this situation - he is afraid that fish will be affected by special circumstances and attack any passing ships and caravans crazily. Now, in addition to killing them, he can only find a way to calm them down. The elders obviously compare I hope the latter solution can solve all this.

He is very confused. This period is not the mating season for fish, and the sudden rage is unreasonable!

Suddenly, the hull suddenly shook, and the whole hull began to tilt a little. Regis came back from thinking. He politely said goodbye to Bosk and explained, "I'll go down and use a little magic to prevent water leakage," he smiled: "We elves are not good at swimming - I don't like the feeling of being in the water!"

Regis and the martial arts master passed by at the hatch, and several elves began to open the box on their backs, and the powder inside fell evenly around the ship.

The sea began to become cloudy and smelled of rotten eggs, but the hull continued to shake, as if the leakage continued. But just a few minutes later, Bosk and the others felt a chill coming from the cabin - not surprisingly, the situation was that Elder Regis released ice magic. With the aggravation of the cold, the ship stopped trembling and began to slowly recover.

At the same time, the boiling water began to calm down. The fish were quite disgusted with the smell of sulfur. They began to leave in twos and threes and finally let go of the poor merchant ship.

"That's great!" The martial arts chief was very happy: "It's really great to drive away the fish like this!"

But Elder Regis seemed to have no sign of happiness - he was silent when he walked out of the cabin, obviously thinking about something, and the captain of the Tauren followed him closely.

Larry greeted him, "Your Excellency, what's the problem?" He asked, "Is there any trouble?"

"Yes!" The elder was very frank: "Now at least three to four places at the bottom of the ship have been bitten, and there is little fresh water and food left in the warehouse - we must find a place to repair the boat and replenish fresh water and food!"

"Can't we support the next port?" Bosk asked, "We can use magic to solve the problem of water!"

"I'm afraid I can't!" He explained, "The next port is at least 20 days away, and there is a route with rapid water flow on the way," he pointed to the cabin: "Magic has not been supported for so long - even if drinking water is solved, the ship must be repaired!"

"Then find a place to repair the boat!" Bosk is very relaxed: "Is there a chart to guide you?"

"No!" The captain said, "We can only sail within the route. Few people go to the area that deviates from the channel. There are all evil places," he shouted, "The danger in the dark far exceeds the sea. At least there is the blue light given to us by the sea god to guide the road!"

"That can only be chance!" Larry said, "Find any direction, hoping to find a place to settle down in a short time!" He put forward his opinion, and Regis nodded slowly and agreed to the suggestion.

"Captain!" Regis said, "I sent the best-sighted archer to the top of the mast to help you find it." He decided, "As long as we find the island, we will lean on it to repair the boat and replenish food and water."

"Alle!" The captain smiled: "With you warriors and magicians, I believe that no monster can hurt us - I'm relieved to be with you." He turned around and shouted, "Oak barrels, red nose, Kerry, where are you bastards? Come and set sail - we're going to sail at full speed!"

Several sailors ran out of the cabin, quickly climbed up the mast and put down the sail. Which direction?" The captain asked, "I hope you are lucky!"

Under the gaze of several people, Bosk smiled. He put his hand into his arms and opened his palm down when he took it out, and a gold coin fell on the deck.

After rolling a few laps, the gold coin stopped.

He looked at the direction of the numbers in the gold coins and smiled, "That's the direction!"

※※※

"Your purpose is just to deliver to the Elf Kingdom?" Allen sneered, "Then these goods seem to be a little less!" Thomas made a gesture and pulled him to his room: "This is not a simple shipment, Mr. Allen!" He said his purpose: "Actually, we are on the way to the Elf Kingdom, and the main purpose is to catch some scale shrimp!" He explained: "Recently, the black tide has hit, and the prices of manufacturing materials for weapons and armor have risen - especially the ores of the Dwarves Kingdom have been hoarded by several human countries, and the prices are rising. The elf kingdom can use the shell of scale shrimp to make armor, so now it is used as a substitute, and the price has grown a lot." He brushed his beard: "After the winter explosion, a large collection of krill is a good time to catch - I know a few fishing points, as long as one net goes down..." He didn't say much. It just made a laugh.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Allen rudely pointed out the problem: "You let us get on the boat, not only occupy your place, but also must bring more water and food - you won't know the loss of one in and out!" He stared at the cunning businessman: "Say! What's the purpose?" He threatened, "Although you are the only one ship recently, I will wait for a few more days!"

Toma blinked and looked at the human in front of him. Under the eyes of the two, he was finally defeated. OK, OK! I'll tell you!" He still wants to grab something: "But I hope you can join!"

"That depends on my mood," Allen was rude: "And--" He added, "Even if I'm in a good mood, we have to talk about the price again! -- If the price is not enough, I'm afraid I won't care about your life or death at that time!"

Toma looked at the human beings in front of her, looked at the port that was far away, and sighed - for the first time, he felt that human beings could do business better than himself!

It turned out that the place where the krill gathered was accidentally discovered by Thomas while avoiding a storm, far away from the route. At that time, in the days of avoiding the storm, several sailors disappeared for no reason. Although he did not find out what killed them, he knew that the place was not as simple as it seemed, so although he was ready to visit the treasure house again driven by interests, his natural caution made him always hope. I hope to bring a few mercenaries.

This is a problem of gains and losses: if you spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries, but finally find that there are no terrible monsters on the island, then the money will be spent in vain; if you don't spend money and no one can resist monsters, then your life may not be saved!

So, the appearance of Allen and his party did make him happy for a while - this is completely a free bodyguard! The only thing that makes Torma a little depressed is that after leaving Hong Kong, Allen realized his purpose and made a request. Although it was half less than the price of ordinary mercenaries, it cost money after all!
