One ship sank very quickly, that was the Western Dawn.
The passengers and staff on the ship were in extremely miserable condition. Most of them fell into the water and were struggling for help.
Only a few survivors are still holding on, such as Mike. He is in a relatively safe position and has stabilized his body, but as the cruise ship sinks, he will eventually fall into the seawater.
The cruise ship that was cut in half has become a piece of scrap metal with no possibility of repair.
However, another ancient sailing warship that is sinking is in much better condition.
At present, it is only a hole that has been blasted into the bottom of the ship, and seawater has poured into it. However, the bat-winged demons have already begun emergency repairs.
Their breath-holding ability is much stronger than that of humans, and they can even work in the water for a long time.
At this time, the Deep Diver was preparing to fire a second cannonball upwards, but it would no longer have this chance because the most powerful enemy had already appeared.
David Jones stood on the deck of the pirate ship, and the water flow could not shake his body.
He was pulling out his long sword and directing the pirate ship to fire cannonballs, when a red shadow instantly condensed in front of him.
It was a girl with blond hair. Her skirt rippled with the current, but her body did not float due to it.
When David Jones saw her, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. The surrounding crew members who were parasitized by the Abyss Painting Skin immediately surrounded the girl.
The dead sailor fired a speargun at the girl, but the tip of the spear penetrated the girl's body directly, and nothing happened, as if her body was just an illusion.
Several golden rays of light flashed, and all the crew members turned into powder.
David's dead face began to tighten, his mouth opened slightly, and two bubbles emerged from it.
"The One Who Knows..."
The bubbles he exhaled suddenly rose up, which was the displacement parallax caused by the deep diver's rapid dive.
Under the command of Captain Dead, the Deep Diver pirate ship sank into the sea as quickly as possible.
The rhizome loosened its grip on the Crimson Queen's hull and sank with the Deep One.
When the roots passed by the girl, the girl just brushed her hair and touched the roots lightly with her fingers. David Jones below was shocked, and quickly rushed over and slashed the edge of the deck with a long knife.
aquatic plants until they are cut off.
He moved very quickly, because the rhizome touched by the girl had begun to shatter into invisible particles, and it continued to spread downwards, and anything connected to it would be scattered into powder.
If David had been slower for a moment, the entire ship would have been affected.
Fortunately, he cut off the rhizome so that the girl's power could no longer be sustained. At the same time, the Deep Diver accelerated its sinking speed until it disappeared into the dark deep sea.
"Boring..."
The girl made a clear sound in the water, then her body flashed with golden light, disappeared, and reappeared on the deck of the Crimson Queen.
By this time, the Western Dawn had almost sunk, and the water was filled with passengers who had fallen into the water.
Some of them were looking for floating objects to cling to, some were swimming towards the not-so-distant island, and some of them were so desperate that they jumped over the wall and swam towards the Crimson Queen.
At this critical moment of life and death, people almost forgot about the terrifying bloodthirsty monster on the entire ship.
The blond girl faced the drowned humans swimming toward her with a smile. At this time, she saw one of the men lying on a broken board, gasping for air.
The girl recognized the other person. She just saw this man standing next to David Jones.
With a playful attitude, the girl gave an order to her sailors: "Kill everyone who dares to swim over, but leave that guy alone!"
…
At this time, in the Western Continent, Velen was the capital of the Greyburn Empire.
After a long train journey, Daniel felt exhausted physically and mentally. He really wanted to book a room in a hotel and just dive into a soft pillow and fall asleep.
However, his duties did not allow it, just like the moon cannot appear during the day. Dardaniel set out from Jotun to Velen with a mission.
Tonight, he will visit the old mansion of the Besarius family and meet the remaining members of that family, even the servants left behind.
Why not their master? Because Lord Besarius completely disappeared recently, and the purpose of Daniel's trip was to find his whereabouts.
The person who received him was the old butler of the Besarius family. He looked to be over eighty years old. Walking seemed a little difficult and trembling. Daniel tried his best to slow down his pace to keep up with him.
Opening the iron gate of the front yard, the vegetation and landscape creations inside look like they have not been repaired for a long time, but the roads are still relatively clean, and someone will clean up the fallen leaves regularly.
Behind the house is a large area of land, which is owned by the Besarius family, but most of it is abandoned, and there are almost no traces of cultivation.
These are all reasons for industrialization. When the wave of industrialization emerged, many new aristocrats had already begun to transform their own planting fields. Some raised sheep to continue to provide raw materials for textile factories, and some simply transformed them into factories.
The Besarius family belongs to that kind of conservative old aristocracy. The family's tenant farmers still plant the past crop varieties, so that they cannot keep up with the times.
Later, many tenant farmers chose to work as workers in the city, and the Besarius family gradually became lonely, with only the land still in their name.
Before coming, Dardaniel did conduct a brief investigation on the Besarius family and knew some of the situation.
Currently, in addition to the old housekeeper, there are two female servants in his family, but they are all elderly.
With just four people living in such a big old mansion, just cleaning and tidying up is enough for a pot of food.
"Please come to the living room...sir."
The old housekeeper held up an oil lamp and lit candles passing by. There was no electricity in the old house, so it was a bit troublesome to light candles at night.
Coupled with the slow movement of the old man, Daniel finally grabbed the source of the fire and helped light it.
"I'll make a pot of tea for you..." The old butler entertained her thoughtfully.
Daniel waved his hand to stop him: "No need, you can sit down. I have something to ask you."
"It's about my master, right?" The old man was very sensitive to the visitor's purpose and could see it instantly.
Dardaniel did not spare any detours and asked directly and clearly: "About Lord Klein Besarius, did he say anything or meet anyone before he disappeared?"
The old man slowly sat in front of Daniel and looked up at him.
"Although the Besarius family has abandoned its old property, the master is one of the members of the House of Lords and always entertains many guests at home. I don't know how those people are related to his disappearance."
