"It seems that the other party is indeed the invading God's Chosen One, but I don't know where he is."
Lu Tan looked at the statue in his hand and couldn't help but wonder.
"They may have confused this person while they were supplying supplies on Narcissus Island. Then are there other companions? If I just report this person, will it alert the enemy?"
Through the conversation just now, Lu Jian was almost certain that the other party was not some evil god from the wasteland, but the same chosen one.
Judging from the exchanges before and after, there should be only one person responding to Lu Jian's words.
Not knowing how many chosen ones the other party had, Lu Jian decided to proceed with caution.
He stuffed the statue back into the guard's arms, pretended as if nothing had happened, and hid in the dark.
After a while, the guard woke up, and you could see that his eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't know what happened to him just now.
At this time, a voice sounded in the guard's head.
"I have given you the gift. Go back to sleep and continue praying here tomorrow."
The guard suddenly stood up in excitement, looked around, then checked the statue in his arms, put it away properly, and ran away.
Lu Jian released the repetition of [last words] in the guard's mind and sighed softly.
After throwing the rotten food and water into the sea, Lu Jian got some straw and stuffed it into the bag, put it back in place, and pretended as if nothing happened.
Walking out of the cargo hold, Lu Jian saw Acorus on the deck looking at the sea view.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?"
Lu Tan asked.
"The smell of blood in the sea breeze is not a good sign."
Calamus still carried the long knife on his back. In front of the ship was the mercenary ship. The two ships were moving forward in the sparkling sea. The wind was very good tonight and the speed was fast enough. Waves of moist sea breeze swept across
At the same time, Lu Jian heard the faint smell of blood.
This is not uncommon at sea. Not to mention the monsters, predatory fish sometimes stain the sea with blood. When encountering these, the smell of corpses and blood is enough to make people vomit.
"We are now entering the Narcissus Channel. This channel will not encounter dangerous conditions under normal circumstances, but it is very close to a dangerous area. If the enemy wants to launch an attack on us, I think the most likely option is to be close to the dangerous area.
When the time comes, force us in."
Calamus's long hair swayed slightly in the sea breeze, she said simply.
"You mean, a ship has already caught up with you?"
Lu Tian thought about the statue of the god, but he didn't tell Chang Pu. Firstly, it involved the matter of the God's Chosen One, and secondly, Lu Tian was ready to know more about the other party before making any plans.
Since the opponent used this method, it meant that they were not preparing for a direct frontal attack in the short term. According to Chang Pu, they were probably waiting for an opportunity to approach the dangerous area.
"They may have been waiting here for a long time. I suspect that these guys have received help from the people from Wajima Taisha Shrine. They may be besieging us by several regular warships."
"Then we can't escape at all?"
Although Lu Jian can breathe underwater, he is not afraid of the sea, and he will probably walk on the bottom of the sea.
But Amber can't breathe in water, so she has to protect her.
"Only by moving at full speed can it be possible to get rid of them. If necessary, we may let the miko-sama ride on our ship."
Calamus looked at the smaller mercenary boat.
It is also a way to transfer amber to a small boat in advance and use the big boat as bait.
"I'll leave it to you then."
Calamus looked at Lu Tan and smiled.
"If we encounter such a situation, I must stay here and take charge, otherwise the other party will soon see through our disguise."
"Let's talk about how to make the boat faster."
Lu Tan thought of his [last words].
Theoretically, he can use words to speed up the ship, but the conversion based on vehicle speed is limited, and it is still unknown whether he can escape the opponent's pursuit.
But always give it a try.
"Sister-in-law, you seem to be very determined to escort Kohaku to Wajima Taisha Shrine."
Lu Jian asked.
"Being able to gain money and status is a very cost-effective business for mercenaries."
Calamus replied.
"It's more than that, right?"
Lu Tan continued to ask questions with the intention of learning more to improve his exploration level.
"Could it be that you were once a member of the shrine maiden, but you left Wajima Taisha Shrine because you failed to become the officiating shrine maiden, and worked here as a mercenary, so you want to help the younger generations?"
He made up a story casually.
"...My knife has not seen blood for several days."
"Then let's go catch a fish for midnight snack?"
Lu Jian looked at the dark sea and wondered if there were any big fish to eat in this cold sea.
Seeing Lu Tan's appearance, Chang Pu sighed.
"I have seen how filth kills humans, and I have also seen how the pure fire from the officiating witch burned those monsters. For us, the existence of the officiating witch is above all else. Since Lord Kohaku has the strongest power, then
She should be the officiating witch."
Calamus sighed.
"Is it that simple?"
Lu Tan was curious.
"Do you need more reasons to do the right thing?"
Calamus asked back.
"That's not necessary."
Lu Tan nodded.
"Furthermore, they gave too much. Even if you don't count the income after Kohaku-sama became the officiating witch, the money given by their family alone is enough for us people to buy land on a slightly remote island, so that we can have food and clothing for the rest of our lives.
Well, when this mission is over, I..."
Before Chang Pu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Tan.
"Sister, please don't say this."
He stopped the other party's flagging behavior.
In fact, when Lu Tiao fell, he didn't worry about the other party rushing up to him.
With Laika here, coupled with his Suona and [Small-Scale Natural Disaster Generator], Lu Jian is really not afraid of enemies facing him head-on.
I was worried that he had some weird and unpredictable power and killed Amber from a long distance.
However, judging from today's exchange of idols, the other party may not have the kind of direct long-distance attack methods, and can only rely on deceiving people's hearts and relying on this idol to cause trouble.
There is a lot of room for Lu Tan to pull away. Basically, as long as Miss Amber doesn't rush forward and kill someone, she still has to fight.
"Although the Narcissus Passage is relatively safe, it also means that there are many pirates. We have to face more than just those who pursue us."
Calamus glanced at the flag on the mast and said again.
She turned around and prepared to go back to the cabin.
"You should also rest early. I have a feeling that we will not spend the next few days peacefully."
After Calamus left, Lu Jian looked at the flag hanging on the mast.
A strange gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the originally fluttering flag to suddenly fall.
Lu Jian looked to the side, the end of the sea level.
There, a deep purple storm raged, like the border of the world.
