Nok and Leo walked towards the stairs on the second floor.
Go down the stairs and come to the cabin hall on the second floor.
There is a canteen and office area here, where the staff work.
It is also a place where ordinary passengers eat and handle temporary business.
As for the ordinary guest rooms, they are all first-floor cabins and bottom cabins.
Therefore, when Nok and Leo went downstairs, they saw the person in charge of the ship, Kyle Vondek, with a false smile on his face.
"Hey, isn't this the respected priest and his knights? Where are these big and small bags going?"
Feng Deke shouted exaggeratedly, for fear that others would not hear him.
Nok paid no attention to this bit of cynicism.
"It's nothing. I just lost my ticket and my employer fired me. So I plan to disembark temporarily.
Of course, if Deacon Feng Deke is reluctant to leave us and wants to retain us,
I can reluctantly stay. "
Nock said with a smile, and even directly gave Feng Deke a reason to make him worse.
"Save you? Hahaha, what kind of joke are you talking about! We at Ventuius only serve customers.
If you two don’t have a ticket, it’s an illegal ride. It’s good that I won’t ask you for compensation!
You still think I will retain you poor people who can’t even pay for your boat ticket? "
Nok looked at Feng Deke with an exaggerated smile and the passengers who were attracted by his words, and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.
Although he didn't care about the cynicism, he was not interested in being a monkey for others to watch.
"Since Deacon Feng Deke doesn't want to keep us, please bring the boat closer to the shore and let us disembark."
Nock's request, which was not excessive, was directly rejected by Feng Deke.
"Ashore? What are you thinking about? This is a wild place, not a dock.
What if the ship runs aground? Even if it doesn’t run aground,
But what if you were attacked by a monster lurking on the shore when you docked?
Or, in fact, you have already colluded with the robbers on the shore,
They deliberately tricked us into docking so they could take the opportunity to rob us! "
Feng Deke must have taken his hat off, which directly aroused the hatred of the onlookers.
"Yes, yes! If you want to get off the ship at this time, you must be a spy!"
"Catch them and send them to the officials when they get ashore!"
"No! I think we should just kill them and feed them to fish!"
Nok suddenly became angry when he heard that there was someone talking arrogantly in the group.
"Bold! Who wants to kill this priest? Who else wants to put this priest in jail!
When did the local magistrates of a mere kingdom have the power to question the people of my holy church?
There are also heretics who are trying to murder the clergy of my holy church. Do you want to be burned at the stake?
If so, please stand up and I will help you! "
"Stop your motherfucker!"
In the crowd, a tall man with thick eyebrows stood out, and it was Treville who had a history with Knock.
"Hmph! You are a fake liar, and you actually dare to claim to be a priest of the church.
Let me ask you, have you ever seen a priest in his early twenties?
The priests of the church, who is not a highly respected old man!
One of the youngest and most promising priests I know is a priest from the city of Seine in the northern Norman Principality.
He was ordained to the priesthood three years ago, at the age of thirty-eight!
You, a young man in your early twenties, dare to pretend to be a priest!
Your qualifications alone are not enough!
Therefore, I suggest that everyone arrest this guy pretending to be a priest.
Wait until the next city, send him to the church for trial, and send him to the stake! "
Treville's words echoed a hundred echoes.
Seeing that a riot was about to break out on the second floor,
Nock looked at Feng Deke coldly and said:
“Why, Deacon Feng Deke also thinks I’m a fake and wants to take a gamble?
The price of losing a bet is very cruel. "
Feng Deke's mouth twitched and he didn't dare to say anything.
He dares to make things difficult for Nok.
He dared not deny that Knock was not a priest.
Regardless of whether Nok was an impostor or not, he didn't want to get involved.
The waters of the Holy Church are too deep.
If it is just an ordinary suppression of a certain clergyman of the Holy Church,
With the strength of the Ventuyus Chamber of Commerce, just do it, no big deal.
But this kind of major case of impersonating a priest is one of a kind.
All will be reported to the Holy Court.
The Holy Church will send envoys to investigate.
If true, the impostor would be hunted down by the church.
After being arrested and brought to justice, a public trial will be held and then publicly executed.
To deter those with evil intentions.
Therefore, there is no need to get involved in this kind of thing.
Think of that Treville who encouraged people to arrest people like this.
Good thing you caught it right.
If the arrest is wrong, none of the participants will be able to escape, and they will all be convicted of contempt of the church.
Seriously, you will really be burned at the stake!
Feng Deke traveled all over the world and served in various countries.
It's just that I have been responsible for regular ship work in Flange for the past two years.
It doesn't mean he is ignorant.
Therefore, he fell silent.
Neither participate nor stop.
Anyway, something happened, and with the background and strength of the Chamber of Commerce, he could be saved.
Besides, it was completely reasonable for him to make things difficult for Nok Lane and the two of them.
Seeing that the person in charge didn’t say anything to stop him,
The passengers on the boat began to get excited.
Treville is even more gearing up and planning to do it himself.
But at this moment.
"Boom!"
The hull of the ship suddenly shook and shook violently.
"what happened!"
Feng Deke shouted nervously for the first time.
"Where are the people in the investigation team? I want to know what happened now, immediately, immediately!"
"yes!"
The staff on the ship quickly took orders to contact the reconnaissance team.
Feng Deke deserves to be the person in charge,
Although he is a bit selfish, he is also a bit petty.
But the ability is there.
I saw that he gave many correct instructions in succession.
"Let all crew members return to their posts and control the ship for me.
Tell the captain that he is only responsible for the safety of the ship on the route, and leave the rest to us! "
"Guards, all go to the deck and ask all the passengers on the deck to go back to their accommodation."
"Repair team, stick to the hull and check if there is a problem!"
"Other staff, contact professionals among passengers,
Get them ready for battle. If the escort can't handle it,
We will recruit them in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to help defend! "
"Now, all passengers in the lobby should go back to their residences and stay there.
You are not allowed to leave your residence and move around without notification and permission!
Violators, once discovered, will be treated as spies and all captured.
If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy! "
Feng Deke's series of orders immediately calmed everyone down.
Even the passengers calmed down from the initial panic.
Even if there were one or two people who wanted to cause trouble occasionally, they were stopped by the people next to them.
Just kidding, the Chamber of Commerce would really dare to kill people if they make trouble at this time.
Nok and Leo looked at each other and were speechless.
Nok still bit the bullet and said:
"Mr. Feng Deke, I know now is not the time to disturb you. But what about the two of us?
We don't have any accommodation. I guess now is not the time to get off the ship.
I guess you won't be happy staying here either.
You'd better make up your mind quickly.
I don't want to have a conflict with your escort at this time. "
Nock's words reminded Feng Deke.
He was so nervous about the ship just now that he really forgot about the two of them.
"I have no time to care about you now. Can't you go back to your previous room first?
Your former companions wouldn't be so heartless that they wouldn't take you in at this time, right?
Or maybe you did something outrageous and were really abandoned. "
Nok rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to this guy.
If you can't speak, don't speak.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he touched the heart and I really wanted to shoot him.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Since you can't arrange for us.
I have a proposal. The two of us went up to the top deck.
It’s clear what’s small about that place.
And there are all your people down here, so even if we want to cause trouble, we definitely can't make trouble.
In exchange for staying, if we find anything on it, we will notify you as soon as possible.
Of course, if you are worried, you can arrange for someone to go up and keep an eye on us.
how? "
Feng Deke thought about it and thought it was feasible.
After all, they don't plan to arrange anyone to defend the deck on the third floor.
If the enemy can break through to the third floor deck,
That means the first and second floors were lost.
How long can the third floor be defended?
"Okay! You go up now, and I will arrange for someone to watch you.
Don't do any petty tricks, otherwise I don't care whether you, the priest, are real or fake.
Even the Ventuius Chamber of Commerce will not let you go. "
"oK!"
Nok shrugged indifferently, led Leo into the stairs again, and went directly to the third floor deck.
"You're on the bow, I'm on the stern, find out the identity of the attacker first."
"no problem."
The division of labor between Nock and Nock was clear.
The two of them didn't have to wait for information like Feng Deke did.
The ship was attacked.
Moreover, relying on the sense of vibration, the attacker attacked from the bottom of the ship.
Thanks to the chamber of commerce, the bottom and keel of the regular ship are made of rare wood.
Ordinary attacks really can't do anything to it.
"No enemy traces were found in the front. No suspicious sights were found on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
Leo shouted loudly.
Nok glanced at both sides of the bank,
After confirming that there were no monsters on or on the river bank, he immediately shouted.
"There is nothing suspicious on either side of the rear!"
"The rear... a suspicious target was found underwater in the rear!
It is recommended that the ship speed up to get rid of the pursuers!
The people behind the first floor deck are ready to fight!
The target is approaching you! "
Nok reminded loudly.
Originally, the people on the deck were disdainful of their appearance.
He even sneered when he heard Leo's shouting.
Naturally, they didn't take Nock's shouting to heart.
But when Nok reminded them of the enemy, they had to take it seriously!
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!
The captain on the first floor deck quickly shouted:
"All combatants on the rear deck are ready for battle and must be at full strength.
The observation team immediately observed the underwater enemy situation in the rear and analyzed the enemy's identity and origin! "
With an order, the escort team immediately formed a battle formation.
The observer on the deck even held a monocular to observe the water behind.
"Snake! It's a snake monster! I saw the snake's head!"
"No! There are more! There are so many snakes! They are all so big! Each one is thicker than my body!"
"They're catching up! Speed up quickly!"
The observer broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted out his observation information loudly.
However, Nock, who was standing on the third floor, suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Quick! Get me a telescope! Be quick!"
Nok suddenly shouted loudly to the people on the second floor deck.
The people on the second deck glanced at Nok and sneered:
"Who wants you to meddle in other people's business? We can do our own thing!"
If the two Nok were passengers, maybe they would be more polite.
But they had just received word that the two guys on the third floor were about to be kicked off the ship.
If it hadn't been for the accident, he would no longer be on the ship by now.
Therefore, after discovering that Nok was not a protection target,
No one on the second floor wanted to talk to him.
Fortunately, the captain on the first floor remembered that Nok had just reminded them of the location of the enemy.
He immediately ordered: "The observation team, separate a telescope and send it to the top."
"yes!"
A team member took the order and jumped and climbed all the way from the first floor deck to the third floor with a telescope.
"Give."
"Thanks."
Nok took the handed telescope and thanked him casually.
Then, he held up the telescope and observed the enemies in the water behind him from a high position.
Snake, indeed.
But, this snake is a bit strange.
Nok looked at several snakes moving side by side and suddenly started counting.
"one two three four five six."
"six?"
"side by side?"
"Wait! The way they swim!"
Nok suddenly realized why he felt something was wrong with these snakes.
Snakes swim in the water in the same S-shape as they do on the shore.
There’s no reason why the next few lines should go straight ahead!
Nok looked further back.
Suddenly I noticed a dark shadow in the distance.
But what it was, Nock couldn't see clearly.
Suddenly, a green tree on the shore broke into Nok's sight.
"Wait! Where are we now?"
Nok suddenly grabbed the observer beside him and asked.
The observer was startled by Nok's reaction and was momentarily confused by the question.
"Tell me where we are now on the voyage!"
Nok yelled again.
The observer quickly replied:
"It's the swamp forest! Keep going, we will bypass the Fishman Bay and reach the swamp forest.
Pass through the swamp forest and drive for half a day to the next pier! "
When Nok heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He shouted loudly downwards.
"Stop the ship! Let the captain stop the ship! If you don't want us to be wiped out, let the captain stop the ship and fight! Hurry!"
Nok's words shocked everyone on the deck.
The captain on the second floor deck even yelled:
"You lunatic, are you deliberately causing trouble and trying to kill us because you are about to be kicked off the ship?"
"Although we don't mind fighting! But if there is an eventuality, the cabin is attacked by the snake monster behind, the casualties will be yours!"
"That's it! A lunatic, causing trouble! If he makes any more noise, go up and tie him up."
Even the captain on the first floor didn't understand what Nok was doing.
"What's the fuss about?"
Feng Deke walked out from the second floor, stood on the deck, and yelled at his men.
"You guys are full and holding on. If you are not alert, why are you making such a fuss here?"
"Butler, it's not us who want to make a noise, it's the bastard above who wants us to stop the boat!"
"What!"
Feng Deke looked up and saw Nok Lane already standing on the railing of the third floor deck.
A magic attack has been condensed on his hand.
"Noak Lane! What do you want to do! Don't mess around! If you stimulate the monsters to attack crazily, I will kill you!"
Nok rolled his eyes at him and shouted angrily.
“Your people don’t believe me and insist on going into the forest to die, but I won’t accompany them.
I can't stop you from stopping the ship, so I'll let you see with your own eyes the true face of the guys chasing us behind.
After seeing that guy, I don’t believe you dare to move on! "
"Madman! Stop it! What's wrong with the guy above? Stop him!"
However, this member of the observation team, holding the telescope dropped by Nok, was observing the black shadow that Nok said.
At this moment, Nok threw the spell condensed in his hand.
"Impact Spear!"
A spear of light was thrown out by Nok with his right hand.
The moment the light flew out, Nok's left hand struck the tail of the light spear.
boom!
The light spear accelerated violently, turned into a sharp arrow, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"hold head high!"
"Ouch!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Moo!"
"Na!"
Six screams came to mind at the same time, and six ferocious snake heads burst out of the water.
Out of the water.
That height was higher than Nok standing on the third floor deck.
As the six snake heads were raised, the waves rolled behind them,
A dark green island emerged from the water,
Four long legs like pillars stood up from the river.
"Then...what is that!"
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the huge creature less than fifty meters behind the boat.
The six-headed basilisk's body was almost ready to catch up with the scheduled ship.
“That’s the Six-Headed Snake, also known as the Swamp Devil!
If you don't want us to be wiped out, ask the captain to stop the ship immediately. Otherwise we enter a swamp forest and there is only a dead end!
Its speed in swamp terrain is comparable to that of a Storm Wolf on the shore.
Not to mention that it can also control the swamp's mire to form terrain that traps us one after another.
By then the ship will be unable to move and will have to be beaten passively.
And its six heads have six attributes.
Able to spit out breath with six attributes. One mistake and everyone was dead.
Only by stopping here can we have any hope of fighting.
There is water here, and its fire attribute cannot exert much power.
In addition, it is not good at swimming and cannot move as fast in the water as in the swamp.
More importantly, because it has fire attributes, it has no water attributes!
In other words, its mud and fire attributes are restrained by its water attributes.
In this kind of terrain, its strength can only be displayed at six levels!
If you believe me, we still have hope in this battle. If you don't believe it.
Then I will take my people and find a way to jump off the ship and escape. I will never follow you into the swamp and die! "
Nok's words made everyone's eyes twitch.
They were tempted to say that Knock was alarmist.
But look at the monster behind them that was mad because of the injury, but could only use four legs to flap towards them.
I couldn't help but believe it again.
Feng Deke's face was uncertain, and he looked at the monster behind him.
Then he looked at the captain of the second team next to him and asked in a low voice:
"How credible are his words?"
"I don't know. Although I really want to say that I don't believe him. But the behavior of the monster behind...
It does look like he doesn't know how to swim. But I've never heard of a swamp devil.
Moreover, our regular boats have been plying up and down the Seine for so many years, and we have never encountered this monster.
At most, they will be attacked by fishmen from Fisherman's Bay, or some strange fish in the water.
Some pythons sneak up on the passengers on the deck and so on. "
Feng Deke listened to the captain of the second team and looked at Nok above.
Suddenly a decision was made.
"Inform the captain to drop anchor and stop the ship! All combatants, prepare to fight!
Inform the adventurers among the passengers and ask them to gather on the deck. Their support is needed at any time!
Everyone, do it now! "
Feng Deke is not a professional, he does not understand fighting.
But he knows how to assess the situation, and he knows how to employ people.
So, he looked at Nok and shouted:
"Nock Lane, now that you know this monster,
I give you the command of the team, how sure are you of defeating it! "
Nok sneered: "10%."
"What! Are you kidding!"
Nok shouted: "You were the one who joked with me first! I'm not from your escort team.
I don't understand your strength at all.
There are even some people in your escort who don't like me.
In this case, you let me command them to fight!
What are you kidding!
I will not interfere with your command, you let your people take charge of the command.
I am only responsible for reminding you how to fight! But the specific operation is up to you!
I will support you in my own way.
By the way, if you can integrate the professionals on the ship,
Get me a temporary team with magic or long-range attack power, and I might be able to command it.
No other discussion. "
Hearing the straightforward truth from Nok.
Feng Deke also knew that he was confused just now.
So, he looked at the captain of the second team and remembered his attitude just now.
He looked at the captain of the first team on the first floor worriedly.
"From now on, the escort team will all listen to the command of the captain! The captain of the second team will assist in the command.
The two captains paid attention to Nok Ryan's reminder to make offensive and defensive arrangements.
I went to integrate the professionals among the passengers.
It’s up to you to fight! "
"Yes! Deacon Feng Deke!"
Nock glanced at Feng Deke with admiration and couldn't help but sigh:
"No one is perfect. Although Lao Feng is a bit weak, he is not bad at it.
Being a deacon is a bit humiliating. At this time, he can delegate power without giving blind orders.
Not everyone can do this.
I kind of want to be friends with this guy. "
Leo on the side smiled and scolded: "Come on. I don't know who it was just now. I wish I could put a sack on him and throw him into the river to feed the fish!"
Noreo poked Nok's thoughts and smiled.
Start to calm down.
"Commander! Once the ship stops, we need to pay attention to defense.
The six-headed snake has six attribute attacks.
The most terrifying thing is the poison attribute attack.
It was a purple venom that could corrode objects and poison living creatures.
Therefore, once its poisonous head is confirmed,
You must find a long-range attack team specifically responsible for interrupting and intercepting its venom attack!
Fire magic, water and ice magic can intercept the venom. But be careful not to let the venom get too close to the hull!
When the venom falls into the water, it will be diluted by the water properties and cannot threaten us.
But if it falls on the deck, the rising poisonous gas will poison anyone within three meters nearby!
Three breaths to kill!
The spreading poisonous gas will infect other people within five seconds, and five breaths will not save you!
So immediately ask the rear staff to wet the cloth strips and let the combatants cover their mouths and noses.
Although it cannot prevent poisoning, it can delay the time of poisoning.
If you find poisonous venom nearby, call me for help immediately!
I am a priest, proficient in light healing magic and dispelling negative status spells.
Got it! "
"Also, the six-headed snake's weakness is its heart. Even if its six heads are destroyed, it can still take time to grow back.
But it only has one heart! Destroy its heart and you'll kill it!
However, its newness is hidden in its island-like body.
Therefore, I need you to search under its neck as much as possible when fighting,
There are three stars with the same pattern.
I don't know what the pattern is like.
But as long as you find that three patterns that look the same come together,
Report it immediately, or attack its location directly.
As long as he gets mad or scared after being attacked, that's where his heart is.
Everyone looks for an opportunity to attack that place! "
Nok gave a series of prompts. Although he was not a conductor,
But he directly took care of the command.
The rest is just a matter of routine for the escort team.
The second captain looked at the man standing on the guardrail upstairs with an ugly expression.
Finally decided to follow the order.
He couldn't risk his own life or the lives of others just because he was angry.
