Chapter four hundred and ninety first old acquaintance
"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, there was the weapon he had been with for more than a month...a weapon, a box-kiri.
Hearing someone's sigh, Haggiri said in an excited tone: "How could I be lonely? That kind of feeling is meaningless to us and other people."
"Yes." After sighing, Lin stopped teasing Haggiri. After more than a month of getting along, Lin also understood the character of this sword. Simply put, it is extremely insecure. Just like a baby.
, uses crying to attract adults' attention, and also uses crying to convey various messages. In order to draw others' attention to its existence, Haggiri will only keep talking.
And this kind of insecurity can be eliminated. In the dream magic tower, through the 'enlightenment' of the two incarnations of Fat House and Chuuji, as well as the interaction with everyone, when the insecurity gradually disappeared, Haggiri also learned
In order to cooperate with other people's work and rest, it can carry out activities such as "chatting". It no longer means grabbing the other person's ear when seeing it, and having to say a lot of words to the other person. Of course, it has no hands, that is 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 an easy companion. For Lin, it can be regarded as the second person besides Fen who can
Partners who discuss knowledge and culture 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 relies on the browser spell pattern on the sword to access the virtual network world of the forum, and Lin Wei 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 is a lot of research on the combination of mystery and science. Because Youfen participated in it, Lin did not rashly open up that part before getting the consent of the lich, especially the one related to divine power. This can be regarded as a reserve, although someone said
I don’t think Haggiri has the opportunity to do something weird, leak secrets, or get in the way.
"Look out on the port side, there's a big ship approaching!"
The sailor standing on the mast looking out shouted to the people on the boat. Experienced sailors are very sensitive to the direction of water ships. Generally, if there is no special purpose, the ship will actively avoid the collision line. So when they see the direction of the ship
When something doesn't go right, the people on the mast have to yell to call 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 the control is more flexible and the courtesy control is less flexible. Therefore, the helmsman quickly controlled the cruise ship 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 pirates 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 borders of the Vader Military State. There is only one system of nobles in the Military State that uses the unicorn as its 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 one person to be beaten and the whole family to take revenge. Therefore, as long as the other party dares to fly the unicorn flag, no matter whether it is the Grand Duke Engels himself or not, he will have to face the full revenge of the Grand Duke's family after the 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. People who ask to change ships on the water to board the ship for no reason like this usually don't What's the good thing?
Thinking back to the chats with the distinguished guests on the ship and everything that happened to the magician in the past two months, even if he didn't ask directly, he probably knew the reason.
If before, those who wanted to trouble the magician could just go find it themselves. The protection of the Marquis of Scientology could deter other failed nobles from trying to vent their anger on a small ship owner and the sailors working on it. But the opponent If it were a duke, the captain would not have that confidence.
But he didn't dare to offend the Duke, and he also didn't dare to offend the people on the boat. In the past few days, seeing how they had defeated several waves of enemies targeting them, or the pirates they encountered on the river, their strength was not that of his own sailors. With a sword, there is a way to deal with it. Fortunately, the leading magician can be negotiated, so the captain went to someone who was basking in the sun and told the truth.
"Invite them on board. 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 speed of the ship is much faster than ours. If you want to run away, as long as you don't use magic to help, you can't beat the opponent. Even if you use magic to help, you can only stay away temporarily. .If the other party seriously wants to pursue you, in the long run, you will not be able to escape by water unless you find an opportunity to switch to land.
Secondly, the opponent does not look like he is preparing 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 limitation of the river, you can either go upstream or downstream. If you are lucky, there are tributaries to go on. The opponent will either use the pursuit or the If you use blocking, you will basically be targeted by the fast one and you will not be able to escape. So if the opponent plans to have a gang fight, the soldiers should be prepared now, but the opponent does not do this.
Finally, there seems to be a familiar face on the opposite ship? Because the distance is still a bit far away, someone simply uses detection magic, so it’s hard to see clearly unless the information about the Arcane Eye is called. But the other person is coming for you. Yes, we will come into contact sooner or later, so I am too lazy to take those few extra steps.
However, the commotion on the deck seemed to have also spread into the cabin. Fen was originally helping two apprentices who had not worked hard before to make up lessons. At this time, Fen also walked out, 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 lounge chair 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 She also fully understands the argument. So while enjoying the cold in winter, drinking a hot drink is a very wonderful taste.
The wait was not long, and the warship flying the unicorn flag soon arrived next to the cruise ship. There was an acquaintance beside the tall ship's side, waving his hand from a distance and shouting: "Your Excellency Tripwood."
Are you on the ship?" He is the White Sword Master who met in the tribe of World Tree Waldwo, a member of William Greco and the Benjiu Alliance. He saw the Möbius Ring and understood the Tai Chi Twist Technique.
of genius.
I recall that when I met each other more than two years ago, we got along quite well. Finally, I was attracted by someone's Yin Sake Theory, and I was fascinated to find the existence of rice, hoping to make rice-based brew that is suitable for warm drinking.
Liquor. I met him here today. Did his original search bear fruit? Or did he serve as a lobbyist for that big noble?
But it doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble. Because based on my understanding of the sword master, he is just like me, a guy who is very afraid of trouble.
Before the two ships could get closer, William Greco jumped over first. He excitedly rushed to someone, shook hands enthusiastically and said: "Your Excellency is indeed on this ship. I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time."
.I found it, I found it, it should be the one you mentioned." As he said that, he held his right hand like a wine glass and drank.
As soon as the original guess was confirmed, someone's greed was aroused. It's winter now, and the wind on the river is particularly biting. If it weren't for the speed of the boat, I would want to take the land route again. If only I could have a drink now.
Warming wine is one of the wonderful things in life. Lin responded with the same enthusiasm and asked: "We found rice. Is it possible that we can even make 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 is just like 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 ships to dock. He jumped directly over the river and reached out to grab the ladder on the ship. With another exertion of his right hand, he climbed onto the deck of the Engels' warship. At this time, the two ships were
The sailor also threw the rope and prepared to bring the two ships closer.
The impatient William Greco wanted to urge everyone to move faster and let the magician get on the boat as soon as possible. Lin had already used the flash technique to get on the Engels' big boat, and even scared the guards standing on the boat.
One jump.
But on the deck of the big ship, Lin noticed that behind the escort, there was a pair of young men and women in fine clothes. Without waiting for anyone to guess, William Greco came to the side and introduced: "Sir Tripwood, this is
The fifth son of Archduke Engels, Baron Wilhelm Engels. Next to him is his wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huy.”
Compared to the aristocratic Baron, Mrs. Ruan attracted someone's attention more. It could be seen that the other person was not the pure human bloodline of the Lost Earth, but looked very much like the Eurasian people that someone had seen on Earth.
Mixed race. In other words, the other party has yellow race in his ancestors? And this very special name is not at all in the Midi style, but more like the Vietnamese name from his hometown.
