The sailing in the era of wood sailing, even in this rune world with magic and Hex Technology, there is no extra extra power except for the basic power of sails and ocean currents. At least, the medium-sized sail that Anne bought now has only three main and auxiliary sails and dozens of auxiliary sails of different sizes. Apart from this, there is no more power.
Therefore, it is completely unreasonable to expect it to be able to drag the corpse of a huge, long sea beast floating on the sea surface to run fast! Now, with the help of the sea breeze and ocean currents on the side, the ship can only slowly sail on the sea surface with the help of the side sea breeze and ocean currents, dragging its spoils little by little towards the south of the Python Islands, dragging its spoils, and slowly sailing on the sea surface.
‘!!’
‘That is…land?!”
‘Report…’
‘Report, report to the Captain!’
‘I found...I found that we now have reached the northwest corner of the Python River Islands... Keep going south, for a little more than half a day, before midnight, our ship should be able to reach near the entrance to Bilgewater Harbor.’
As night was about to fall, and in the distance, the red sun above the sea level was slowly sinking below the sea surface, another seaman who was thin and skillful, who replaced the position of the former watchman, looked at the southeast with the monocular telescope for a while, then he reported loudly to the little girl Captain Mage on the deck, who was scared to them with some uncertainty.
To be honest, if he had a choice, he would definitely not like the bad feeling of being high and looking far away! Because as the ship swayed left and right under the influence of waves, it always gave him the illusion that he might fall down at any time, then fall to death on the deck, or fall into the sea and drown half dead?
But there was no way. After being selected, he had to bite the bullet and come to this basket of hope!
Because, when they were fighting against the deep-sea beast dragged behind the ship in the morning, the other party had already eaten by the other party! Therefore, under the command of a terrifying spell that could easily subdue the legendary terrifying sea spirit, he had to come here and act as an unqualified, untrained look...
The reason why he chose him was a last resort, because most of the sailors and sea hunters on this ship were eaten by the giant beast behind which was dragged with several thick cables and crossbow arrows! If, until tomorrow morning, when the slaughtering pier in the Kerry Harbor began to slaughter the huge sea snake monster they captured, and carefully searched in the other party's stomach, maybe they could find the fragments of the semi-dissolved bodies and corpses that were not available for digestion in its stomach or intestines?
‘…’
‘Sir Captain? We have arrived at the waters west of the Python Walking Islands!!’
The incompetent lookout who had not heard the response, thought that the captain of theirs had not heard his report, so he shouted loudly to the bottom of the deck and towards the bow of the ship.
Where could he see a small figure holding a plush toy bear in his hand, that is their captain! In addition, there is another tall and strong fat harpoon hand, and a humble little guy with light blue skin that once appeared only in the legend in the waves hidden at the bow of the ship.
“…”
e=(o｀*)))Oh, it's so slow...
"I heard it! Don't just yell all day long!!"
(`)Hmph!
It was this time. If it weren't for her whim, she had to go out to sea to join in the fun and have fun and watch the rare things, Annie wouldn't have, and she would definitely not want to come out and waste her precious time on such boring sailboats and seas!
Of course, this voyage is actually not too boring?
At least, there are many fun things along the way, such as blue sky, white clouds, sea and gentle sea breeze, terrible storms, cunning little fishmen, ferocious sea beasts, etc.... Of course, there are also the bad guys who have been plotting before, trying to discuss in their dirty cabin how to overthrow the cute captain, the bad guys!
But, it's a pity that the only remaining bad guys on the ship now don't have the courage to find a way to deal with her...
Because, she accidentally showed some of her strength when she grabbed a little fishman named Fitz. In addition, she had shot the sea beast's eye socket to establish a victory, which completely shocked the remaining lucky few bad guys, sailors and sea hunters who were not bitten to death by the giant beast.
After some ignorant idiots who plotted against rebellion were eaten by the giant beast, the remaining people, they have been honest until now, and they no longer dared to have the unrealistic and indecent thoughts that they had last night... The inconsistent behavior made Anne want to find some excuses to cross the river and destroy bridges, and kill donkeys, and throw all of their guys, except the helmsman, into the sea, and they can't find a suitable excuse!
"Oh... It's a pity..."
If she had known this would be the case, maybe... she shouldn't have caught the little fishman in public at that time, otherwise, there would definitely be something more fun now, and it wouldn't be so boring, right?
(…)
Hum!!
At this time, a big wave suddenly splashed under the sea. The little Annie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, just dodged gently and avoided it! A harpoon hand who didn't know what he was thinking was not so lucky. He was taken to the waves and watered them all over. He couldn't help but look at the guy with a head leaking out of the sea under the bow of the boat with some resentment.
"Ha ha!"
Fitz, a man from Yoder, showed a head on the sea surface and asked Lars, the harpooner who was more talked to her, grinned and smiled:
"Hey! Your clothes are soaked now anyway!"
"So... Lars, aren't you really going to the sea to have fun? It's very cool down, and I can take you under the sea to find the kind of shining gold coins you like? I just saw a lot, they were covered in the silt and rocks on the seabed!"
It is getting closer and closer to Bilgewater, and because countless superstitious captains are habitually, or forced? Anyway, when they have to go out to sea and return to the full load, they throw them into the sea as tithes? Therefore, Fitz, who lives in this sea, can often find those shiny little things under the sea.
Sometimes, she would often pick up those things and return them to the original owner, and tease the detestable captains who threw them away and pollute the marine environment?
Unfortunately, this time she fell, and she fell very miserably, and fell into the hands of a little girl captain... After she was caught by the other party, she had to "agree" to accompany the other party and play for a while... Although, the naughty Fitz has always liked to play with others, she definitely doesn't like to play with a powerful human girl mage who is more curious, naughty, and weirder than herself!
But unfortunately, no matter whether she likes or not, it is no longer up to her to decide, because she herself, like the dead beast dragged behind the ship, has become the little girl's spoil! Everything about her, including her life, is decided by the other party!!
"Go into the sea? Make money?"
After wiping the salty and fishy sea water on his face, Lars couldn't help but feel moved a little.
"No! No! No!"
"This is not possible, absolutely not possible!!"
After hesitating for a while, Lars soon came back to his senses.
"Mr. Fitz, you may not know that our ship does not have any diving tools. If I really go down to the bottom of the sea with you, I will definitely be drowned..."
"But if you don't mind, you can get a little bit of it for me in your spare time?"
The depth of this sea area is impossible for Lars, who travels around the sea all year round, to know!
Therefore, without the support and protection of deep-dive compression suits and the oxygen helmet provided by Hex Technology, if he really dares to swim under the sea with the other party, he will have to be squeezed into his chest, crush his lungs, and then be drowned alive!
By then, it may take a few days before he will become a pile of rotten meat on the bottom of the sea, and the delicious food that the fish, shrimps and turtles are mentioned...
so,
Given that he had just earned a generous commission and Lars, who had just earned almost a whole huge sea beast (Captain Anne said that after he got ashore, the ship and the sea beast were given to them!), he is now a rich man! After he arrived at the port, he could at least live a wealthy and luxurious life in Bilgewaterli for several years. Therefore, he did not want to take his life to adventure in the deep sea anymore, even the legendary sea spirit below's advice was the same.
"You? drowned?"
"Ah! I remembered... You guys can't breathe in the water. You are so bored!!"
He curled his lips and saw that no one accompanied him to play at the bottom of the sea, Fitz sank the bottom half of his head into the sea again, revealing only two big, round green eyes, like frogs, and constantly blowing bubbles under the water, showing off his ability to breathe underwater to the Rars who was lying down at the ruined sailboat railing.
“…”
"Hey! Little Fishman! What's so proud of you? Let me tell you, I can breathe freely underwater!"
(灬°w°灬)
"But I won't go to the sea with you to catch gold coins. That's not fun at all!"
(ˉ￣～)Tick ~~
Annie didn't think that this kind of ability to breathe underwater is of great significance...
Because, she can not only breathe freely under the water, but she can also survive normally in the sea of ​​fire, in the cosmic vacuum environment, or in other harsh environments with high temperature and high radiation! Anyway, she is more powerful than the cunning little fishman in front of her who can only drill in the sea.
“!??”
"I'm not a little fishman!"
"I have told you many times that my name is Fitz, and I am a Yodel who can live in the deep sea. I am not a little fishman. I have nothing in common with those fish in the sea!!"
Although she, Fitz, the Yodel, who lives in the deep sea, looks increasingly different from those Yodels in Bander City... However, this is actually because of the natural evolution brought about by her long-term living in the deep sea!
She has hands, feet, and mouth. She does not have any fish-specific gills on her body, nor does she have ugly parts such as fish fins. Why do she think she is a little fishman? Why do she think that people who live in the water must be fish?
“Eh?”
(⊙w⊙`)
"Okay, you are actually a little frog princess Fitz. If you call you that, you should be satisfied, right?"
v('wˉ)~
After staring at the little man who was standing angrily on the sea surface and holding a sea stone trident in his hand for a while, Annie nodded and agreed to the statement that what the other party said was not the "little fishman".
However, although the other party is not like the fishman everywhere in the Azeroth world, the other party must be like a frog, she is sure of this! Because, whether the other party is his head, eyes, arms, white belly, and the two thighs that can jump and be full of powerful jumping power, he must be a frog!
However, the other party was not the kind of "frog prince" he and the little bear Tibers thought before, but a "frog princess". Regarding this, from the other party's body that looked sticky and smooth, the flippers with a suction plate and three fingers on it, and the cute little tail that has not completely transformed, etc., what would it be if it wasn't a frog?
唉,可惜了呢……
Little Annie always felt a pity: this big frog has become civilized, the other party can speak, use tools, and is still a wise creature, otherwise...
(`)嘿嘿嘿……
(…)
“!!”
"I'm not a frog either! Although I know it looks a bit like them, like their bodies and hands and feet, and they can jump... But I'm really not a frog, let alone a sea frog! I'm really a Yodel! I'm from Bandel City!!"
Fitz didn't understand, why is this little girl so stubborn?
She clearly said that she was not a little fishman, nor was she the kind of inexplicable frogman, so why would the other party never change her words? If it weren't for the mistaken defeat, if it weren't for the magic contract, she would have dived into the deep sea, far away from the other party, and would never provoke such an annoying little girl again!
“班德尔城?”
∑(△)?!
"Wow! I remembered it. I said I wanted to go to that fun place and play again! Tell me, little frog, tell me where is it in your Bandell City?!"
(vv)
Before, while playing with the wandering old man Ryzess, Anne heard the other party mention the Bandel City, and now she heard the frogman who is said to be the Yodel people mention it. Then she must want to go to that magical place to play!
“…”
"have no idea!!"
"Its entrance is changing, maybe in a hidden trench in the deep sea, under a thirsty desert dunes, or in a forest or in a void crack? Anyway, it may be anywhere in the runeland, and often changes with time and space. No one can find its rules, and no one can find it!!"
If she could find the entrance to Bandel City, where would Fitz still be here now? If she had known, she would have returned to Bandel City long ago! Where would she have been hanging out in the deep sea for thousands of years?
Chapter completed!
