I have never been on a boat this big!
I've never been so far from land!
When I stood on the side of the ship and looked far into the distance, all I could see was the deep blue water with a crimson border.
Boundless.
Boundless.
Bottomless.
We have been sailing for a whole day, and at this time, the huge sunset lingers on the horizon, refusing to set.
Gregor had already vomited in the cabin and was unable to get up, and Dallion stumbled back to the cabin after dinner.
But I am different. I can walk freely among the messy cables and barrels, stand firmly on the swinging deck, and even help the lookout drive away the seabirds that have been hovering on the gray-white mast!
"Little miss, you should be a sailor!" At that time, the tanned mountain dwarf gave me a thumbs up. "Besides, you must be careful not to let that wolf cub touch your ass!"
I glanced at the apprentice who had been hiding in the warehouse and peeked at me, and snorted contemptuously, "If he dares, I will kick him into the sea!"
"You should be the captain, little lady!"
*
"Ahem!" Unexpectedly, someone next to me made a sharp and deliberate cough.
Turning around, I saw the green dwarf who called himself Captain Tikriti.
During the day, he had been controlling the rudder of the ship, shouting at the busy sailors, and occasionally glanced at me with harsh and alert eyes.
As you may know, I almost died at the hands of goblins, so I hate green dwarves.
Subconsciously, I stared at the hard leather armor tightly tied around his waist, and then at his neck wrapped in the shoulder armor. Hum, if there is a conflict, the fastest way to resolve it is to Throw it into the sea!
"...What's the matter? Mr. Captain?" I picked up the hem of my red skirt and took a step aside.
The green-skinned dwarf nodded to me with a smile, "Little girl, is this your first time going to sea?"
"right."
"Do you know about the Blue Hole?"
Why is he asking this? He wants to throw us into the blue hole?
I couldn't help but glance at him again, "I've heard that in the deep sea, there are large areas like scars on some water surfaces, and the bottom is very deep. Well, I've also heard that you can catch huge fish there. The sea dragon."
"Yes," Tikriti shook his sharp aquiline nose proudly, "The Fish Skin captured several sea dragons there, and their skins are still attached to the ship's skin!"
oh!
I couldn't help but take a look.
When I got on the boat, I noticed that the hull of the boat was dark gray, and there seemed to be shining lights like fish scales on it.
"...Could it be..."
"That's right!" Tikriti glanced at me proudly, "The reason why the Fish Skin is called the Fish Skin is because its hull is covered with a thick layer of fish skin and it can swim in the sea like a fish. Swim very fast. And don’t worry if you encounter pirates, unless those bad guys can fly, no one can climb up along that slippery fish skin!”
"Sounds safe!"
"Of course, the Fishskin is like a fortress! The bad guys can't break through from the outside, and they can't escape from the inside!"
That sentence made me narrow my eyes and look sideways at him.
And the green-skinned dwarf was raising his head and looking at me with a half-smile, "Tikriti will chop the bad guys who want to evade fares into fish bait, mix them with poison, and then hunt down those stupid people." fish!"
"...We will pay, Captain Tekriti." Raising my hand, I put all the obstructive curly hair on my shoulders back and tied it firmly, "You just need to send us to the other side of the sea and find the goblins. Communicator."
The corners of the green dwarf's mouth widened, "As long as you pay, Tikriti will be your sincere friend." He raised his eyebrows, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted me like a gentleman.
And I saw the ring on his little finger, and the ruby shining on it surprised me.
With my backhand, my left hand, which was still bandaged, stretched out like lightning, trying to take the ring back from his dirty finger.
However, I underestimated the green-skinned dwarf. Before I touched him, his left hand had already pulled out the dagger from his waist. The sharp sword traced the trajectory of the crescent moon and stopped in front of the little finger of his right hand. "You want to hurt yourself?"
The alarm bells are ringing in my heart!
I immediately took a step back and narrowly missed my left hand.
"Do you recognize it?" He showed me the jewelry as if showing off.
"Of course, the pattern on it is the emblem of the Mograine family!" With my backhand, I held down the weapon at my waist, arched my back slightly, and bared my teeth at him, "Give it to me! Otherwise you will I regret it..." I closed my eyes slightly, and I was already in a world where the wind of shadows was blowing.
"Oh, little human girl, Tikriti will not give it to you, it is not yours..."
"But it belongs to Darien! It's a very important thing! Give it to me!" The blade was unsheathed, and my dagger was pointed directly at his raised throat.
The green-skinned dwarf backed away as if gliding on the water. When he passed the first wooden barrel, he pushed his backhand and flipped backwards, and his leather boots kicked me hard on the chin. What was even more terrifying was Yes, a small blade popped out from the tip of his boot.
I immediately leaned back so I wasn't hurt.
boom--
The green dwarf managed to land several meters away.
"Don't get excited, you can't get any benefits here in Tikriti." He protected himself with a dagger and took a step back triumphantly.
The corner of my eye told me that the movement here attracted the attention of the sailors.
The first mate of Torun, who was like a high wall, had handed over the steering of the ship to others and blocked my side and rear.
"This family emblem ring was not stolen by Tikriti," seeing me stop, Tikriti said with a smile, "it was mortgaged by the young master to me. The gold coins prove it, as long as you pay off the ship. , Tikriti will return it to its original owner."
*
I was "invited" back to the cabin by Tikriti and his vicious first mate.
There was only a dim kerosene lamp in the room, which made it look extremely dark.
This is a suite, the one in the middle is mine, and Gregor lives in the one toward the stern.
After a pause, I walked towards the room near the bow.
Knocking on the wooden door, I found that there wasn't even a light on inside.
In the darkness, only the boy's eyes were shining.
"Messiah?" He said in a hoarse voice, "Come in quickly..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly held the small cabinet next to the door and sat down on the thick carpet, "Oh... Holy Light ..." He rubbed his temples vigorously, as if he would roll on the ground in discomfort at any time.
I squeezed in from the door, "Hey! Get up, big man! Use some strength!" I held his arm, and after a lot of effort, I helped him back to the recliner.
I touched the flint and the oil lamp on the cabinet, which brought light to this dark room.
I found a small silver pot on the wooden table next to the lounge chair. The edge of the lid faintly exuded the fresh wood fragrance. "This is... maple leaf juice, right?" I filled the silver cup. A cup was passed to the boy's mouth and "drink it."
"Oh... thank you, my angel..." He reluctantly took a sip, closed his eyes slightly, and took several breaths to recover.
"I remember you showed off to me before, saying that you had been to the sea."
The boy smiled bitterly, "I swear I'm telling the truth, but..."
"But?" I raised my eyebrows and handed the silver cup out again, forcing the boy to take a sip.
"...Ahem, but at that time, I carried many magic gems with me... They made me feel smooth on the ups and downs of the ship..."
I couldn't help laughing, but the next second, I smoothed the corners of my mouth.
Suddenly, I understood why he was so seasick, because he gave all the gems to the night elves... as compensation.
"I'm very sorry……"
"Messiah," as if he had read my mind, the boy stretched out his hand, and the thick calluses on his palm wrapped around the back of my hand, "my life is yours."
My cheeks felt a little hot, and I retracted my hand, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a kobold supervisor, and you're not a kobold laborer! I didn't sign a contract of sale with you!"
"Oh... the Holy Light testifies, after I feel better, we can sign a replacement..."
"Oh! I don't want it!" I couldn't help but yell, and accurately pushed back his hand that was trying to touch my hair, and the silver cup in my hand tilted, and all the liquid in it was poured out. Between that guy's eyebrows!
"Oh!" He flopped around like a fish on the shore, making me cover my mouth and laugh.
"You asked for this!"
He wiped his wet cheeks in vain, and twisted his wet clothes. The next second, his eyes turned helpless when he looked at me, "Thank you for not letting the cup hit my nose, kind girl."
snort!
My eyes passed through the half of the bandage exposed under his clothes, and stopped on his empty little finger, "...Dallion," I hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I saw Tikriti wearing your ring."
That sentence made him look at his fingers, "...did the captain ask you for confirmation?"
I couldn't help being slightly startled, and finally understood why the green dwarf was talking to me, "He's trying to trick me?! He's so cunning!"
"He is very cautious." The boy whispered, "...But don't worry, Messiah... I asked the guards at Golden Maple Leaf Harbor and the captain of the Fish Skin has a good reputation. As long as the money is in place, he will Even very reliable. Oh...god..." As he spoke, he frowned and began to rub his forehead vigorously again.
His uncomfortable look seemed to be contagious, and it made me feel a dull pain in my head.
Pressing my temples, I stood up and said, "Then, have a good rest. I'll see you again tomorrow morning."
"Good night, Messiah."
"Good night... Well, I'll go see Glico again..." Just as I turned around, the guy suddenly grabbed my wrist from behind.
The wound corroded by the ghost in my palm has not yet completely healed. His tugging made me jump in pain, "Oh! What are you doing?!"
"Uh," he moved his hot palm upward, "I mean... I want to show you the injury on my hand..."
I stared at his guilty eyes, a little annoyed, "It didn't hurt at all, let go!" As I said that, a sharp sting interrupted my words and made me bend down.
I don't know what happened. It was clear that Dallion didn't exert any force, but I felt the pain in my palm suddenly like an arrow, along my blood vessels, straight into my mind, and piercing a big bloody hole in it!
"Oh my God!" I was stunned by the pain. I subconsciously held my head tightly and fell forward.
"Messiah! What's wrong with you?!" Dallion exclaimed, but his voice was quickly drowned in the noise.
"...La...De...La...De..."
"...La...De...La...De..."
"...La...De...La...De..."
I suddenly heard vague whispers in the noise.
"...La...De...La...De..."
"...La...De...La...De..."
"...La...De...La...De..."
The sound was very loud, as if hundreds or thousands of people were chanting in unison in the distance.
For a moment, I felt my blood-soaked brain vibrating, and every time it shook, minced meat stained with red and white mucus came out!
"...Darian...Darian..." My fingers sank into my hair, and my nails almost scratched my scalp, "...my head...hurts so much..."
"Stop it, Messiah! Get me! Yes! Get me!"
"...Tell them to stop talking...Tell them to stop!" I stared, almost shouting blood from my throat!
"What are you talking about?! Messiah?! Who is talking?! Oh my god..." The boy hugged me tightly, making me unable to move anymore, and then he pressed his forehead against mine. , began to recite the mantra in a low voice, "Supreme Holy Light, please listen to my prayer..."
The holy light fell one by one like stars, but they did nothing but burn my skin!
"Ravenhold!" At that moment, an extremely sharp scream passed through my ears!
I wish you had never heard such a sharp sound!
It was like a sharp knife, cutting from the top of my head to my toes!
"ah---!!!"
Dallion ended my pain with a bottle of fragrant and sweet potion.
Before I fell unconscious, I seemed to hear Tikriti’s sharp shout, “Did she have epilepsy?! How could you let a woman with epilepsy board my ship?! This is so unlucky. !Either throw her into the sea or add more money!"
asshole!
