"Actually, you are afraid of loneliness, aren't you."

On the river in winter, someone was lazily basking in the sun. On the table next to him was the weapon he had been with for more than a month...the weapon, Hakakiri.

Hearing someone's sigh, Hagiri said with excitement, "How could I be lonely? That kind of feeling is meaningless to us and other clans."

"Yes." After sighing, Lin did not continue to tease Haggiri. After more than a month of getting along, Lin also understood the character of this sword. To put it simply, I feel extremely insecure. Just like a baby, it cries to attract adults' attention and to convey various messages. In order to draw others' attention to its existence, Haggiri would just keep talking.

And this insecurity can be eliminated. In the dream magic tower, through the 'enlightenment' of the two incarnations of Haizhai and Chuuji, as well as the interaction with everyone, when the insecurity gradually disappeared, Haggiri also learned to coordinate with other people's schedules to 'chat'. kind of activity. It’s no longer necessary to grab someone’s ears when you see them and have to say a bunch of things to them. Of course, it has no hands, that's just a description...

As long as Haggiri knows how to control it, at least not to force the sound into other people's ears when they are sleeping, it can be regarded as a very easy companion to get along with. For Lin, it is also the second partner besides Fen who can discuss knowledge and knowledge with each other.

Compared to the Ginbeard dwarf, who is partial to science, or the two apprentices who are limited by the learning speed of normal people, Haggiri relied on the browser spell pattern on the sword to access the virtual network world of the forum, and Lin Weili and the two The exclusive area opened by the apprentice and the lich quickly absorbed the knowledge content that Lin opened to it, the knowledge from the earth.

However, there were a lot of research on the combination of science and mystery, and because Youfen was involved in it, Lin did not rush to open up that part without the consent of the lich, especially the one related to divine power. This can be regarded as a reserve, although some people do not think that Haggiri has the opportunity to make mistakes, leak secrets, or hinder others.

"Look out on the port side, there's a big ship approaching!"

The sailor standing on the mast looking out shouted to everyone on the ship. Experienced sailors are very sensitive to the direction of water vessels. Generally, if there is no special purpose, the vessel will actively avoid the collision line. So when they see that the direction of the ship is not quite right, the people on the mast have to yell to draw attention.

According to the convention on the river, small boats give way to big boats, and the upstream gives way to the countercurrent; the main difference is that those with courtesy control are more flexible, and those with courtesy control are less flexible. So the helmsman quickly controlled the boat and steered it to the right.

At this time, the sailor on the mast shouted again: "The big ship is turning to the left, they are catching up." As the ship's sailing direction adjusted, the other party's intention became quite obvious.

After receiving the news, the captain immediately got out of the cabin and cursed: "What flag is the other party flying? Our ship is protected by the Marquis of Scientology, and there are some blind water thieves in this poor place who dare to provoke us. "

"The opponent's flag, unicorn!" the sailor on the mast sent back the message. All of a sudden the captain's anger was extinguished.

They are still within the territory of the Vader Military State. There is only one system of nobles in the military country that uses the unicorn as a flag, and that is the Engels family of the Grand Duke of the North.

In line with the tradition of the military country, it is normal for the whole family to take revenge when one person is beaten. Therefore, as long as the other party dares to fly the unicorn flag, no matter whether it is Grand Duke Engels himself or not, he will have to face the full revenge of the Grand Duke's family after provocation.

"The other party sent a signal to us to stop the ship. They want to board the ship." The sailor on the mast shouted again. This made the captain's heart go cold. If something like this requires you to change boats and board a boat on the water, usually nothing good will happen.

Thinking back to the chats with the distinguished guests on the ship and what happened to the magician in the past two months, even if he didn't ask directly, he probably knew the reason.

If anyone wanted to cause trouble for the magician before, just go find it yourself. The protection of the Marquis of Scientology can deter other failed nobles from trying to vent their anger on a small ship owner and the sailors working on it. But if the opponent is replaced by a duke, the captain will not have the confidence.

But he didn't dare to offend the Duke, and he also didn't dare to offend those on the ship. In the past few days, I saw that they had defeated several waves of enemies targeting them, or the water pirates they encountered on the river. Their strength was beyond what their own sailors could handle with swords. Fortunately, the leading magician was negotiable, so the captain approached someone who was basking in the sun and told the truth.

"Invite them to get on the boat. If they have something to do with us, we won't make it difficult for you." Lin responded.

The reason for this decision was that when the sailor on the mast shouted, he also paid some attention to this group of uninvited guests.

First of all, the opponent is a three-masted warship, which is not yet full sail, but the ship's speed is much faster than our own. If you want to run, you can't outrun the opponent as long as you don't use magic to help. Even if you use magic to help, you can only stay away temporarily. If the other party seriously wants to pursue him, in the long run, he will not be able to escape by water unless he finds an opportunity to switch to land.

Secondly, the opponent does not look like he is ready for war.

The pursuit on the river is not like the pursuit on the sea. A pursuit can last for several days. Due to the river channel, you can either go upstream or downstream. If you are lucky, there will be a tributary to go on. The opponent either uses chasing or blocking. Basically, he is targeted by the fast one and cannot escape. Therefore, if the opponent planned to have a gang fight, the soldiers should be prepared now, but the opponent did not do so.

Finally, there seems to be a familiar face on the boat opposite? Because the distance is still a bit far, someone who simply uses detection magic cannot see clearly, unless they call up the information of the Arcane Eye. However, the other party is here for me, and they will come into contact sooner or later, so they are too lazy to take those few extra steps.

However, the commotion on the deck seemed to spread into the cabin. Fen was originally helping two apprentices who had not worked hard before to make up lessons. Fen also walked out at this time, came to someone and asked: "What's going on?"

"It seems like someone from a noble family wants to board our ship."

"Oh." Fen responded and sat on the recliner on the other side of the small table. He used magic to heat the tea placed on the small table, poured himself a cup and sipped it.

Although she can be invulnerable to cold and heat due to her strength, she can sometimes let go of all protective measures appropriately and experience the feelings brought by the environment around her, so that she can feel like she is living in it. This is someone's argument, and she understands it deeply. So while enjoying the cold in winter, drinking a hot drink is very delicious.

The wait was not long, and the warship with the unicorn flag quickly arrived next to the cruise ship. There was an acquaintance beside the high side of the ship. He waved his hand and shouted from a distance: "Is Mr. Tripwood on the ship?" He was the white swordsman whom he met in the tribe of Wadwo, the world tree. , William Greco. Members of the Banjiu Alliance are geniuses who understood the Tai Chi Tie-Zi technique after watching the Möbius Ring.

Recalling that when we met each other more than two years ago, we got along fairly well. Finally, I was tempted by someone's theory of burning sake, and I was fascinated to find the existence of rice, hoping to brew rice-based wine that is suitable for drinking warm. I met you here today. Did your original search bear fruit? Or do you mean to be a lobbyist for that big noble?

But it doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble. Because according to my understanding of the sword master, he is a guy who is very afraid of trouble just like me.

Before the two ships could get closer, William Greco jumped over first. Rushing to someone excitedly, shaking hands enthusiastically and saying: "Your Excellency is indeed on this ship. I have been sincerely looking forward to your arrival for a long time. I found it, I found it, it should be the one you said." As he spoke, he held his right hand like a wine glass while drinking.

As soon as the original guess was confirmed, someone's greed was aroused. It is winter now, and the wind on the river is particularly biting. If it weren't for the speed of the boat, I would have wanted to take the land route again. If I could really have a glass of warm wine now, that would be a wonderful thing in life. Lin responded with the same enthusiasm and asked: "We found rice. Is it possible that we even made wine?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about it for a while. But no winemaker has ever made it with that kind of material, so I wanted to find you, someone who has tasted it, to evaluate whether the taste is what you imagined."

"Have you tried it? How does it taste?"

"It has a very special taste. Especially when you drink it warm, it's exactly what you said. It has a taste that no other wine can match."

Someone was already excited and asked quickly: "Oh, do you have any on board?"

"Of course I'm ready, all I need is a drinking companion."

"It's coming, it's coming." Lin rubbed his hands and sighed, unable to wait for the long-lost taste of burning wine.

William Greco, who was equally excited, still didn't wait for the two boats to dock, jumped directly over the river, and reached out to climb the ladder on the boat. With another exertion of his right hand, he climbed onto the deck of Engels' warship. At this time, the sailors of the two ships also threw ropes, preparing to pull the two ships closer.

The impatient William Greco wanted to urge everyone to move faster and get the magician on board as soon as possible. Lin had already used the flash technique to board the Engels' ship, and even shocked the guards standing on the ship.

But on the deck of the ship, Lin noticed a pair of young men and women dressed in rich clothes behind the escort. Without waiting for anyone to guess, William Greco came to the side and introduced: "Your Excellency Tripwood, this is the fifth son of Archduke Engels, Baron William Engels. Next to him is his wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hue."

Compared to the aristocratic Baron, Mrs. Ruan attracted someone's attention more. It can be seen that the other party is not the kind of pure human blood from Midland, but looks very much like the Eurasian hybrid that someone has seen on Earth. In other words, there are yellow people in the other party’s ancestors? And this very special name is not in the Midi style at all, but more like the Vietnamese name from my hometown.
