The Python Islands...
Or is it the Blue Flame Islands described by the people of Valoran?
Tonight, the sea area around this large group of islands stretching in the deep sea has always been calm, and everything seems quiet... There is no strong wind here, nor the big waves in the past, so As for the wooden sailboat, the speed has never been faster.
When we set sail in the morning, the weather seemed calm and sunny, but from evening to now, the entire sky has been gloomy, just like the calm moment before the storm is about to hit?
Anyway, the night is not so good now...
Looking around on the sea, everything is pitch black...
Except for the glimmer of light from the brightest stars in the sky, which can occasionally penetrate the layers of dull dark clouds and provide necessary reference directions to the helmsman of the sailboat at the helm, the entire sailboat seems to be sailing in a dark abyss. It was all pitch black and nothing could be seen... Only the slight sound made by the hull breaking through the waves could let the helmsman know that they were still sailing on the sea.
And at this time,
On the deck of this medium-sized three-masted sailboat, except for the two sailors on duty who were secretly drinking and chatting under the mast and the senior helmsman who was silently steering the helm, the other people were They had already returned to their cabin below the deck and fell asleep.
The sea is calm tonight, and the sailing ship is slower at night. If there is no crisis or other alarm on the sailing ship and the bronze bell on the ship rings, they will definitely not choose to get up in the middle of the night. And came to hang out on the deck.
For safety and security, it is enough to have a helmsman and two incompetent sailors on duty...
Besides, they are not afraid that pirates or other people with evil intentions will sneak up and rob them in the middle of the night, because, their broken ship has no money at all and does not have any valuable goods. Therefore, the people in Bilgewater Harbor Those bastards must look down on their group and this ship!
Moreover,
Most of these sea hunters who came out of Bilgewater are actually a group of ferocious pirates who can switch jobs from sea hunters at any time! If you encounter a passing fat sheep, if the other party's armed strength is not as good as yours, then it's not certain who will rob whom!
Of course, the captain of this group of people is a little girl with magic skills. The other party keeps shouting about catching sea beasts, so they will definitely not condone them to do such evil things (to make a fortune) and rob passing merchant ships. Evil deeds.
Wow~!
Wow~!
The soft sound made by the tapered hull of the sailboat when it broke through the waves was faintly heard from the sea on both sides to the deck, proving that the ship was still moving forward at this time...
Everyone knows that some people can never be idle and will not follow the rules!
so,
Of course, now on the deck, except for the helmsman and the two sleepy and undutiful sailors on duty, there is a mast firmly fixed about a yard from the deck between the two auxiliary masts on the bow. Lying on a mesh hammock some distance away was a man wearing a captain's hat and holding a stuffed toy bear in his arms. He was also wearing a Caribbean-style tight white long-sleeved shirt and narrow-mouthed sailor trousers. Plus a little girl wearing a pair of high leather boots!
There is no doubt that she is the current captain of this shabby sailing ship 'Grease' - the great, all-powerful Lady Queen Anne! !
"Tibbers, it's really nice and comfortable to lie down like this..."
o(**)o
"The sea breeze makes me feel lazy all over. It's really comfortable... Don't mention it. Although this broken boat is very slow and rickety when driving, it's not bumpy at all... And what if tonight? It might be better if it’s windy but not raining…”
∠(?』∠)_
After opening her eyes and looking at the thick layer of dark clouds in the sky and the looming stars, Annie closed her big green eyes again and continued to lie on the hammock. Falling asleep, enjoying this exclusive bed that only the captain can enjoy, the salty sea breeze blowing sideways, the faint sound of waves, and the cradle-like sailboat.
(…)
(Young master, please rest assured. I just observed the sky at night and judged based on many years of sailing experience... The clouds are so thick tonight, it must be rain clouds! At the latest, it will be in the middle of the night or before dawn, or tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, it will definitely rain heavily!!
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
——Since a certain bad little master didn’t want to sleep yet, Tibbs started talking nonsense as a matter of course... Of course, this was just the judgment of Tibbers’s uncle, if he wanted to To obtain more accurate first-hand weather forecasts, the only thing you can do is throw one or two satellites into the sky. )
"..."
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
It would be even better if there was someone playing a nice tune next to me now...
For example...a great guy like Sister Sona who is currently living in Bouvier Manor in the Kingdom of Demacia?
But, she didn't know if there was still the Kingdom of Demacia now...
In this backward world of swords and magic where communication is basically by roaring and travel is basically by walking, no matter what happens in Noxus or the Kingdom of Demacia, this python who wants to reach Bilgewater Traveling here in the Islands will definitely take a long time.
"Forget it, I still don't want that big sister Sona anymore..."
╮(╯▽╰)╭Hey!
It's a pity that Annie is so familiar with that big sister Sona that...she seems to be too embarrassed to cast a certain spell in the middle of the night, and then open a portal all the way to send the other party. Catch him and play the piano for himself?
That kind of thing is definitely possible when dealing with bad guys! However, if it were her sister Sona who was dealing with her, she wouldn't be able to bear to disturb her.
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
Sailing on the sea has always been very boring and tedious. In fact, little Annie has already experienced this deeply when she sailed in the Caribbean... She has already been mentally prepared for this, and she is basically able to do it. Habits can make you endure and adapt to this.
After all, this time she got such a sea ship and a ship of incompetent pirates, crew members, sea hunters and other complex bad guys to go to sea this time just to hunt those big sea beasts. How could it be possible that after being out for only one day, it would cease and return to the Boneless Harbor of Bilgewater in despair and without any gains?
No matter what, whether it was for fun or something else, she was definitely going to catch a huge sea beast back!
The best place to hunt giant sea monsters is in Bilgewater, which is the Sea of the Watcher in the northwest corner of the Anaconda Islands! There, it is said that there are all kinds of terrifying deep-sea monsters, such as those axe-finned monsters, giant dragon sharks, razor-toothed fish, sea worms, giant electric eels, tauers, sharp-toothed sea snakes, etc... .
But in fact,
From the deep water area of the western bay of the Anaconda Islands to the Watching Sea above the northwest corner, this large area of sea is all a traditional hunting ground for hunting sea monsters!
So now, after coming out of the Slaughterhouse dock in Bilgewater Harbor and spending a whole day sailing and going north around the islands, Little Annie's medium-sized sea ship, this sturdy high-speed sea hunter dedicated to sea hunters, , it has arrived at the traditional hunting ground where sea hunters hunt giant beasts in the sea... However, due to years of hunting and being too close to Bilgewater, the giant beasts here were scattered from the islands. This terrifying seawater with the strong smell of the blood of various giant beasts has already scared away all the nearby giant beasts.
if,
If they want to catch a real giant beast in the sea, instead of just catching a few big fish and going back in despair and being laughed at by others... then it is best to continue walking north, and then tomorrow at the latest In the morning, they can reach the Watching Sea where various giant sea beasts frequently appear.
Snap! !
"uh-huh?!"
∑(′△`)? !
Just when little Annie was drowsy...
Suddenly, a shining ordinary magic gem that exuded a charming light in the black night was suddenly and accurately thrown to the deck of the bow of the ship by someone or some creature from far away from the sea. After turning around twice, it stopped next to the auxiliary mast under Little Annie's hammock, letting the somewhat dazzling light directly illuminate her pretty face with her eyes closed.
"..."
(?_?)
hateful!
It's here again...
Little Annie just opened her eyes and glanced at the magic gem under the hammock that was still stained with seawater beads. When she saw it, it even splashed a small piece of the deck that had been dried by the sea breeze, and brought a sticky feeling. After swallowing the mushy, fishy and unknown liquid unique to aquatic creatures, the corners of her mouth finally twitched uncontrollably... After a long time, she hesitated again and again, and finally she was cruel and closed her eyes directly. He slowly turned his face to the other side, intending to turn his face out of sight.
Now, she didn't want to pay attention to a certain magic gem that was thrown back by a bad guy, because she had already paid it as the tithe of that guy! !
(…)
(Report! Dear little master, the sea frog in the sea with light blue skin and a harpoon in its hand is here to harass you again... It is definitely the biggest frog you have ever seen. , and it is a rare product that grows in the sea. Don’t you really think about catching it, roasting it, adding some salt to it and eating it as a midnight snack?
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
——I found that a certain little guy who had been pestering me all day followed him again and again, and then once again threw the little master of Tibbers into the sea and returned the magic gem that was used as a tithe to the "kind" person. , Uncle Tibbers Bear, who was also a little impatient, began to encourage his little master in his ears. )
"..."
(lll¬ω¬)
"Tibbers, that kind of frog...it looks like a human being, and it also holds a magic harpoon. It must be an intelligent creature, the kind that can't be eaten, right?"
o(⊙﹏⊙)o
Everyone knows that intelligent humanoid creatures must not be eaten, and Annie seems to have never eaten that kind of weird food with humanoid shapes...
Of course, except for ginseng fruit or something?
Because, those ginseng fruits are not humanoid creatures at all, they can only be regarded as humanoid fruits at best? Are they almost the same as those unsavory and overpriced pears and watermelons that some unscrupulous fruit farmers on Earth use plastic molds to make?
Those fruits used to grow well, but they were messed up and shaped into weird shapes by some money-grubbing fruit farmers, and they were also labeled with some random names. Don't think that they gave the fruits a different face. She, Queen Anne, I don’t recognize them! !
(Little master...)
(Even if a frog looks like a human, it is still a frog! Even though it only lives in the sea, even though it is about the same size as you, even though it still holds a magic harpoon weapon, and it can also It rides on the waves and walks on two frog legs...but it is definitely a frog!
At most, it's just a humanoid sea frog that can use tools? So, feel free to bake it. It’s not the first time you’ve eaten a frog anyway…
?● ̄? ̄●?
——I think back then, when I was in the laboratory of an elementary school in New York that was invaded and bombed by aliens all day long, this lawless and bad little master of Tibbers, even a frog as big as a fist could They dare to bake it and trick the children into eating it together... So, now, the one under the sea outside is running to cause trouble when it is dark, and it is still peeking under the sea surface, so there must be no kind-hearted Dahai. Frog, why not eat it?
If his little master can't keep his mouth shut at that time, then Uncle Tibbers Bear is very willing to do it for him, and he can definitely devour the other party's bones and dregs in one gulp! )
"snort!"
o(′^`)o
"Tibbers, you must know it yourself. It's not actually a frog at all. Don't try to trick me again!!"
(??? o ???)
Whether the other party is a frog, and whether it can be eaten, etc., this kind of thing must not be difficult for Her Majesty Queen Anne, who is a foodie!
Besides, it's already very late now, and even the two guys who have been slacking off under the mast behind are almost asleep... So, she doesn't want to move much now, and she has long planned to ignore the guy in the distance. The sneaky guy who was still peeking under the sea... She just wanted to have a good night's rest in this hammock.
Otherwise, if it were later, maybe in the middle of the night or early in the morning, when it was windy and rainy, if she wanted to lie here as comfortably as she did now, sleeping in this rickety little hammock, That's no easy task.
(!!)
(Hey, hey, hey! Dear little master, look at it... You yourself are not going to pay attention to that big frog at all, but it is not ready to let you go... Ah! Look at it! It has caught it A lot of dirty little sea fish are definitely ready to tease you like a monkey...
?lll¬?¬?
——I saw the frog-humanoid creature in the deep sea that had caught a large amount of struggling and twisting small sea fish like loaches and put them in its arms. It quickly surfaced again and was grabbing a piece of fish with its head and head. A dirty and slimy little sea fish aimed at his little master, and seemed to be preparing to launch an 'attack'. Tibbers quickly reminded the little master who was holding him in a loud voice, who was still planning to sleep. )
"..."
(?_?)
"Damn it! Tibbers, can you stop being so blind? I'm not blind, I've seen it a long time ago!!"
(lll¬ω¬)
Speaking of which, that strange frog-like creature in the sea had been following her Lady Queen Anne's sea-hunting ship for a whole day... However, what made Anne feel very strange was that the other party seemed to There is no obvious hostility, just probing the sea in the distance, or following under the boat? !
Then what,
In the afternoon, the other party also "kindly" threw back the magic gem that Anne had thrown into the sea as a tithe many times...
And little Annie, who never bothered to take back lost things, naturally threw them back into the sea far away again!
After that, the two sides just went back and forth...
It was not until evening, when Annie once again threw the stone back into the distant sea, that the other party stopped for a long time... So, when Annie felt that the stubborn and strange little thing might have already When he gave up completely, who knew that it would catch up with him again, and choose to throw back the gem and prepare to 'attack' him at this time in the middle of the night? !
Whoosh!
A small fish was first pointed at by the opponent from a distance for a while, and then it was accurately thrown towards the face of little Annie lying on the hammock!
It seems that the other party is planning to treat Annie to eat that small sea fish, and then... take the opportunity to tease her, who is wearing a captain's hat and playing the game of 'throwing the Frisbee' with her all day long. She is a very unique little human. Son?
Unfortunately……
A certain 'big frog''s wishful thinking seemed to be in the wrong place? !
After being thrown out, the little sea fish that was still smashing into the air and twisting its body crazily was about to fall on him, and would probably jump hard on his face or in his arms... Suddenly, the originally slow fish The swaying net hammock, under Anne's secret manipulation, suddenly swung to a large angle, allowing the small sea fish that would have fallen into her arms to jump around randomly to fall directly to the deck. superior.
Crack!
Snap! !
The next second, the fresh sea fish, which was as energetic as a loach and was unable to breathe freely after losing the sea water, kept jumping around crazily under Little Annie's dangling hammock. It looked like it was Eager to jump back into the sea of who knows where?
'ah! ! '
At this time, a small exclamation soon came from the distant sea.
Obviously, that was the regretful and unexpected exclamation made by the big sea frog who was obviously deliberately causing trouble and preventing a certain troubled little girl from sleeping peacefully. Maybe...even it didn't expect that at the critical moment, the hammock would suddenly swing at a huge angle due to the swaying of the ship's hull, causing its prediction to be wrong, right?
"..."
?乛?乛?
mock up……
Lady Queen Anne is lying very comfortably now. She was a little drowsy and about to fall asleep just now. Therefore, now she doesn't want to play with the strange 'frog prince' in the distance. If the other party thinks he can hit her If so, why not continue to try it?
With this little trick, she doesn't need to open her eyes at all. Even with her eyes closed and in a daze, she can easily avoid the boring prank attacks!
'...'
Whoosh!
Another soft, almost inaudible sound broke through the air again...
In the distance, a big frog allowed its lower body to soak under the dark night sea, with only its upper body exposed. After taking a careful look, it actually pointed another small fish into the distance with some disbelief. A certain little girl who was lying in a fun hammock on the bow of the boat accurately threw it at the opponent's pretty little face.
In fact, this sea frog does not have any malicious intentions...
It's just a little too boring, and it desperately wants to see the good-looking little human on the bow make a fool of itself, and then force him to run down from the hammock, and then, he can take advantage of it When the other party ran back to the cabin to sleep, he tried that very interesting little hammock when it was dark and no one could see it?
Snap!
The little fish once again narrowly missed the cheek of the little girl who was resting with her eyes closed by the swinging hammock, and fell to the wooden deck again, leaving another one jumping vigorously on top. , and the little fish is breathing with its mouth wide open.
"..."
?乛?乛?
hey-hey……
Anne dared to swear in the name of Tibbers that no matter how many the opponent threw, they would never hit her! !
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
soon,
The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one...
Until those small sea fish gathered together, jumping happily under Little Annie's net hammock, jumping all over the deck, and even the few that were thrown up by the opponent at the beginning became a little weak, Finally, the big frog-like guy in the distance went a little crazy! !
After it once again caught a lot of small fish, it unbelievingly used its frog-like flippers to stand on the slightly undulating sea, grabbing it with one hand on the night sea that undulated with the waves. The harpoon is standing as if it were standing on the ground with ordinary people?
Then...
A large number of small fish, probably hundreds of them, were directly encapsulated in a water bubble the size of a basketball by its magic, and then they were raised high above its head with both hands.
Obviously, it seemed to have discovered the problem itself, and also saw some hidden magic fluctuations from the irregular swinging hammock... Therefore, it felt that the little girl was definitely not an ordinary person, and she deliberately made things difficult for herself. , causing it not only to be unable to successfully tease the other party, but also to be teased with magic by the other party, and it finally planned to break up...
It planned to directly imprison all the sea fish, numbering about hundreds of them, in the water bubble, and throw them directly towards the little girl! Then, wait until the big water ball is thrown above the little girl's hammock, and then cast a spell to break it open instantly!
When the time comes, when the small fish all over the sky are smashed down together with the sea water, she will have to see how she can hide from that weird little human being? !
'! ! '
However, before the 'frog prince' standing on the water was ready to put his idea into action, before he took aim and threw the water balloon, he actually saw a small, glowing The thing slowly floated up from the deck, and slowly flew on its own between the little girl's thumb and middle finger that were clasped together?
That little glowing thing seems to be...
The magic gem that it threw back to the ship many times today, and then was thrown back into the sea many times by the other party? But now that she was pointing her finger and the gem at herself, what was she going to do? !
Whoosh! !
Suddenly, a sharp sound broke through the air, followed by a flash of light, and a white straight line flashed across the dark night sky...
Snap~! !
Plop!
Plop! !
As the luminous gem flew over from a distance and accurately hit the smooth forehead of the 'Frog Prince' with some strange spots, two sounds of objects falling into the sea were heard. The sea frog that was originally standing on the sea, together with the luminous magic gem that was bounced high, fell to the bottom of the sea one after another, and slowly sank, without any movement anymore.
"???"
At this time, a sleepy helmsman at the stern of the ship finally turned his head curiously and looked at the dark sea in front of Chuanxuan... because he just seemed to see a flash of light over there. A ray of light, like lightning? However, he couldn't hear the rumbling thunder, which made him wonder whether he was too sleepy, hallucinating or seeing something wrong?
'...'
'ε?σαίαδ?στακτο?……'
After a while, under the dark sea surface, a cruel word of unknown meaning came faintly, and was successfully heard by little Annie.
"..."
?(ψ???ˇ??)?Hehehehe...
"Tibbers, look, that stupid guy, I finally managed to beat it away, right? I wonder if it will dare to disturb my sleep next time?!"
?('ω'?)
Using his huge mental power, he sensed that the opponent was dizzy due to the impact of the magic gem he popped up. After sinking into the sea for a long time, he woke up faintly, grabbed the magic gem immediately, and then swung it wildly. It fled far away with its webbed hands and feet, and soon disappeared. Little Annie snorted proudly, ignoring the little fish under her that were out of the water and continued to jump, directly turning her little body sideways. , curled up in the hammock, ready to continue her long sleep!
A little 'frog prince' who didn't know where he came from dared to tease her, Queen Anne. Let's see, it's better now. His head suddenly became swollen. Let's see if he dares to tease her next time. Don't you dare to make trouble?
This time, she just punched the other party on the forehead as a small punishment. But next time, at another time, if the other party dares to use that sticky disgusting little fish to humiliate her for fun again. , then she would have to catch the opponent, hang it on the collision angle outside the bow, and play a punishment game of 'drying clothes' on it! !
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
(The big frog was not roasted alive, which made Tibbers very dissatisfied! So, he has now decided: tonight, he will never go with a bad little master who doesn't listen to his harsh advice. Just say half a sentence!!)
"Good night, Tibbers..."
ZZz... o(?′?`?)o
It was getting late, and after the pre-bedtime entertainment was over, and after a certain stubborn little thing seemed to finally give in and run away, Annie was finally ready to take her own nap!
(…)
?/-?-\?
…
soon,
The bow of this medium-sized seagoing ship gradually regained its calm as those small fish suffocated...
The hunting boat continued to sail slowly on this calm dark sea, toward the hunting area in the north, and toward the watching sea.
And at this time,
Neither the helmsman, who was dozing off while steering the ship, nor the other two irresponsible sailors who were on duty on the deck but had fallen asleep first, were unaware of what had just happened on their ship...
Of course, that kind of thing is not important now, because... a certain sea elf who is extremely feared by the sailors of Bilgewater has been unknowingly attracted by their playful and powerful man. The little captain was so angry that he beat him away alive! !
