Since there were slightly too many adventurer guards hired temporarily, it might be too crowded if they all gathered in the 'canteen' in the cabin to eat. As a result, the sailors quickly received the order from above:

A large number of tables and chairs were moved directly and spread out on the deck for al fresco dining.

And this has been unanimously praised by the adventurers on this trip.

In their view, since they have not officially entered the Nelanser Islands, the chance of encountering a pirate attack in this area is not too high. Even if a pirate ship is discovered, the sailors on the mast who are on guard in the sun can still

It was observed that they had enough time to prepare for the war.

At this time, the wind was beautiful and the sun was blue. It was so enjoyable to bask in the spring sun on the deck and enjoy the warm sea breeze while eating seafood and the fresh steak purchased by Am.

"Hey, this is not for a mission. It's just a trip. There is also a huge amount of escort fees to be paid. Miss Alyssa is simply an angel!"

A towering man in leather armor put the oak wine glass on the table and sighed with great satisfaction.

"That's not true. I have taken on tasks from John's Chamber of Commerce more than ten times over the years. The risk is low, the price is moderate, and free meals are provided. It is simply a model in the maritime business world." A dwarf at the next table answered with a smile.

Words.

"Cheers to the beautiful Miss Alyssa!" An adventurer suddenly raised his glass high.

"Cheers!" A group of optimistic adventurers fell into a carnival.

It was the first time for Sharila to participate in this kind of dinner party. Her cheeks were bulging as she ate. When she saw everyone raising their cups, she quickly put down the knives and forks in her hands and raised the wooden cups as well, taking a big gulp.

He swallowed the food in his mouth again and finally let out a satisfied sigh.

She was really a little hungry. She had just finished the church's 'Day of Generosity' service in the morning and was sent directly to the ship by the 'Holy Coin' Archbishop.

What made her even more embarrassed was that not only did she bring no change of clothes, she was also penniless.

Just when she was thinking about whether she could use her identity as a Woking priest to 'rent' some travel expenses from Captain Alyssa, she came across this free meal.

Just after filling her stomach, she heard the strong man from before chatting with his companions about the escort mission. Sharila, who was going on a long trip for the first time, couldn't help but pricked up her ears.

"Let me tell you, if we have so many adventure teams gathered on the ship this time, as long as we don't encounter those legendary pirate forces, we should be safe, right? I guess some small pirate forces will probably be surprised when they see so many professionals on our deck.

I don’t even have the courage to join a gang and engage in close combat.”

"Ah ha, isn't it just free money?" A halfling thief laughed.

"Don't be blindly optimistic. This is not the first time for everyone to go to sea. The goods on Miss Alyssa's ship are valuable, and some pirate forces may choose to join in."

Or a mage spoke up to remind everyone.

"Well, that's what Master Jason said." Everyone stopped joking and nodded seriously.

Sharila, who was going to sea for the first time, raised her hand and asked curiously:

"Well... I want to ask, is it really easy to encounter a pirate ship at sea?"

The mage named Jason was suddenly accosted, especially when he saw that the person who accosted him was the beautiful priest whom he had been secretly paying attention to for a long time. He was stunned at first, then suppressed his inner excitement, coughed twice, and tried his best.

He kept himself reserved and graceful as a legal practitioner, and replied with a smile:

"This also depends on the situation. For example, the Sword Coast channel from Kaishui City to Baldur's Gate is relatively safe.

"The cliffs along the Sword Coast block the way for pirate ships to dock along the coast for supplies, and merchant ships can dock at large port cities every few days. Due to the prosperous maritime trade of the Sword Coast, warships from various navies often patrol along the way, so

Even if you encounter a pirate ship unfortunately, the other party will usually just rob the property and leave quickly, because the longer you stay, the more likely you are to encounter other passing merchant ships and patrolling navy.

"But heading south from Amn, the situation becomes much more complicated.

"For example, the Elsevier Strait we will arrive at next is probably the most frequented place for pirates in Corel.

"The Nelanser Islands on its west side are a natural gathering place suitable for pirates to live and gather, and most of them are alien pirates who do not follow the rules of the sea.

"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't try to go deep into the island group, you won't be afraid of being ambushed by pirates. On the sea with a wide view, even if you encounter a group of pirates, the firepower of our Dreadnought is enough to crush them.

Suppress those small sampans, even if they forcefully get close and join the gang to board the ship, haha, it’s not like so many of us adventurers just get paid for nothing and don’t work.”

Sharila felt much more at ease after listening to the explanation from the legal practitioner, but she still asked with some doubts:

"Since the Nelanthel Islands are so dangerous, why don't merchant ships try to get as close as possible to the Velen Peninsula? Even if they can't defeat them, they can land on the Velen Peninsula as soon as possible and escape, right?"

Hearing this novice question, the strong man on the side couldn't help but smile and interjected:

"Miss Priest, this is your first time going to sea, right? Do you know what other names are for the Velen Peninsula?"

"Fire Yalong Peninsula?" Sharila has heard of it, but she doesn't know why it has this nickname.

Several adventurers looked at her in surprise, and the soldier continued:

"According to legend, there was no peninsula here originally, and the inland areas of Kashanlin and Tethyr were once the battlefields of dragons and giants. The coast where the Velen Peninsula is located has become the main battlefield. The breath of countless dragons,

Eventually, an undersea volcano erupted, and countless magma gushes out, evaporating the sea water, forming this fertile peninsula, which is approaching the Neransel Islands in the west every year. There are rumors that it may take another few thousand years.

Tens of thousands of years from now, the Netherland Islands may even be integrated with the Velen Peninsula, and by then, there will be no Iseveral Strait.

"So the closer you get to the Velen Peninsula, the more reefs there are on the seabed, and you may even encounter the skeletons and fossils of giants and dragons. If a large ship like the Intrepid gets too close to the coast of the peninsula, there is a high chance that it will run aground or even run aground.

"Once we get stranded here...it's all over!"

As he said this, the strong man looked at Sharila with a sexy and unique look:

"At that time, those pirates will swarm in like a swarm of sharks smelling the smell of blood. But even if they are a foreign race, they should be reluctant to kill a beautiful and sexy girl like you... But

Eighty percent of them will be ruined and sold to Calishan."

"Is this... so scary..."

Although the soldier said it more tactfully, when he thought about falling into the hands of those dirty, brutal and cruel pirates, he would be ravaged and sold to Kalishan, and then be trained into an obedient slave and become an unknown slave.

What kind of creature used it to vent its desires? Sharila couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Buzz! Don't scare other girls all day long. If you didn't have such a bad character, you would have gone back to your hometown to marry a wife and have children." Master Jason couldn't stand it anymore.

"Tch, it's like you have a wife." Baz mocked nonchalantly.

"...I am a magician, I am different from you." Jason couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"..." A group of older single adventurers felt that they had been hit hard.

"Thank you, thank you for clearing up my doubts."

Seeing them arguing with each other, Sharila couldn't help but laugh like a silver bell.

'It turns out that this is an adventurous life, and it seems quite interesting.'

And all the senior men couldn't help but swallowed when they saw the looming beauty of the pastor lady rising and falling with her laughter.

It's a pity that such a beautiful pastor lady, especially the pastor lady of Fortune Church, is not something they can pursue.

It is said that every Woking priest has extremely strict requirements for the wealth and status of his partner.

But it is also a good experience to chat with such a beauty.

"Well, don't worry, those unlucky merchant ships will most likely be hit by an unexpected storm and have to temporarily go to the Nelanser Islands to avoid shipwreck.

"And with the weather being so good today, we expect it will only take half a day to sail out of the Elsevier Strait..."

Rumble...

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thunder sounded from the southern sky.

Everyone turned their heads and saw dark and gloomy clouds quickly approaching. In just a short moment, half of the sky became dark and gloomy.

The canvas began to make a hunting sound.

The strong wind seemed to be gathering strength, the air pressure seemed to have become very low, and the sky was filled with thunder.

This is...

A sign of the coming storm!

"Fuck! Jason, you are such a crow's mouth!" A group of adventurers glared angrily at the stupid mage and showed their middle fingers.

"...I don't want to either." Jason felt extremely wronged.

"Lower the sails and turn the rudder! Sail southwest with all your strength and try to reach the Neransel Islands before the storm arrives to avoid it!"

The calm and calm commanding voice of the captain, Ms. Alyssa, was also heard above.

"..."

A gust of sea breeze came, and it was obviously still a bit muggy, but Sharila only felt inexplicably cold.

'Is it... is it really a literal storm?'

Sharila just felt that her brain couldn't keep up.

The fear of the unknown made her hold the priest's staff tightly in her hand.

'Don't... don't be afraid, this is what the goddess expected, and the goddess will protect us in the end.'

'It's just... according to the oracle, we have to wait until the ship is about to capsize? Wouldn't that be very dangerous? And when is the time when the ship is about to capsize... I don't quite understand...'

Sharila expressed a little panic...

...

"Aha! It's successful! It's actually successful! Did you see it? I told you before! I, Addison, am the real God's Favored One! You hypocrites should all be caught and hanged in the harbor.

superior."
