Chapter 14 There is a dragon here (14)

There was no fresh water in the ocean; Aira had never seen a beach that could make the ship run aground. In order to prevent the materials from being damaged by sea water, Aira had to let the soldiers carry a full layer of food and grass to the warehouse on the previous floor. Due to Lübeck's reasons, most of these warehouses are currently empty.

After cleaning up the supplies, Ella began to look for the seepage place. The boatworms were about half of the little finger of the baby, and their hair was as thin as a small fishing boat. Even if it was just a small fishing boat, it was not easy to find such a bug, let alone the flying zeal as big as a fortress. However, the thousand-mile dike was destroyed by the ant hole. If this hole was left alone and the seawater continued to seep into the cabin, it would have an extremely bad impact on the navigation. In order to deal with this "anti hole", Ella used half of the soldiers at once and spent a whole day before finally finding the wormhole and repaired it with wooden boards.

Given that seaworms may be crippled into the bottom of the ship in the future, Ella threw the Lubeck sailor he caught into the large iron cage that once locked up the black bear and Epolita.

"After eating my bread, you have to work for me! This layer is empty, but someone must stay here to pay attention to the water level. If you give the key to the iron cage, you will live in it. No one is staring at you, don't neglect your duties!"

Hearing the word "neglectful" the sailor silently glanced at the empty cabin and dared not say anything.

After dealing with this matter, Ella returned to her cabin exhausted.

"Amy, you said that just a small sea worm can cause such a big trouble. If it is a big sea worm..."

Before he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from the deck:

"Come on, come on!"

"So big!"

“It’s really big!”

——"So big? What's the big sea worm"

Ella rushed to the deck in a hurry, but saw the pirates excitedly catching a fishing net from the sea. The net was filled with all kinds of sea fish and seashells.

"King of Sweden, look at this!"

Two soldiers grabbed one head and the other grabbed the fish tail, and brought a huge eel to Ella. Its length was even greater than Ella's height.

"So big! No, it's the big black beard captain. No - who asked you to fish? We are trying hard to avoid the big worms now! You guys go all in one go, what if the big worms are caught?"

The pirates looked at each other:

"If the sea worms are caught by fishing nets, then there is no need to be afraid, right?"

"Yes, maybe it tastes pretty good..."

Ella inexplicably thought the words of these pirates made sense.

"That's right. If you're caught, it's just prey, not monsters...Okay, I'll eat mixed fish tonight!"

Cooking fresh fish on a fishing boat is basically boiling water and throwing it directly into the pot. No salt or spice is needed, but because of its extreme freshness, the fish tastes better than any restaurant on land. Once these fish are brought to the soldiers, the fish meat is collected in the blink of an eye; in two blinks, the fish soup is drunk completely; when you blink three times, you can't even see the fish bones.

Next, I had to be on duty to prevent sea worms, which was very tired. In order to reward the soldiers, Ella also asked the chef to slaughter a few cows and sheep, and let the soldiers eat them with fish soup. As for the big eel, Ella was shared with the officers living on the first floor.

Then at night, Dust's scream suddenly floated over from his cabin:

"Big sea worm! The sea worm is crawling into my room!"

"Master, don't panic, I'll save you!"

Ella led the soldiers on duty to run to Daster's door yelling, and several soldiers holding axes split the door and rushed in. But Duster was sitting on the boat, covering his face, his hands, face, and body covered with red lumps.

"You are right, the damn big sea worm will really crawl in through the hatch door!" Dust shouted, "I was drunk and lying on the bed, feeling a little itchy in my body, as if there were worms who were afraid. When I got up, it turned out like this!"

"Where is the sea worm?"

"I didn't see it, I must have crawled over to other cabins!"

Dust's symptoms made the pirates look panicked. After carefully searching this layer, they didn't even see the shadow of the insect.

"Call the boat doctor here to see the master, and the others will follow me!" Ella waved her hand angrily, "I already know who the prisoner is!"

She rushed to the bottom, and asked the pirates to smash the iron cage of the bear with their axes, and pulled out the trembling Lubeck sailor inside.

"Tell me honestly! How did you put the sea worm in? Where are the sea worms now?"

The Lubeck sailor looked at the knife and axe beside Ella, tremblingly: "Big Seaworm?"

"Don't install it anymore! When I entered the Master's cabin, the door was closed tightly and I had to smash it open with an axe. The big worms don't lock the door! So there must be an insider! You are the only one who has this motivation on this boat! You are the only one who stays at the bottom, and no one can see it no matter what you do! Do you admit your guilt or not!"

"I...I'm wronged!" the sailor cried and declared his grievance. "I've never seen a big sea worm! I don't dare to touch it?"

"You dare to argue! The person comes, take off his clothes and see if there is any redness and swollenness inside!"

"I really didn't do anything! I've also shoveled the bear's shit here!" The sailor kowtowed repeatedly, "Give up your life, King of Sweden!"

"What is the Swedish king? It's the big black beard captain!"

"Your Majesty." Amy asked in a low voice, "He is at the bottom, how can he put the sea worm in?"

"Gu..."

Ella realized the loophole in her reasoning. So she slowly turned her head and asked in a low voice:

"What about... the sea worm?"

...

"It's because I ate sea fish."

In Dust's room, the boat doctor reported the results of the examination to Ella.

"Some people will experience this symptoms after eating specific seafood. Just take a break."

Dust shook his head while scratching his itch: "No? I only ate eels today. I have eaten eels before, and there is no such symptoms."

"Eels in the river or eels in the sea?"

“In the river…”

"Don't eat eels in the sea in the future."

The doctor reminded me seriously.

"Don't talk about the future, I'm very itchy now, my whole body is itchy! It's almost itchy!" Dust scratched harder and harder, "Let me think of a way to relieve itch, doctor!"

"Traw the skin and then sprinkle salt on it." The doctor advised seriously, "then it won't be itchy."

"I know that it doesn't itch! But it hurts like that! It hurts!" Dust shouted, "Is there any other solution?"

The ship doctor shook his head silently.
