"The external armor of the Morning Glory Advance has been repaired a lot, but there are some problems that cannot be solved here in Valente."
The crew appeared in Ivar's longhouse early in the morning, bringing news about Notar.
Lorenzo sat by the campfire, looking at the crew with sleepy eyes, nodding and whining in response. Although alcohol could not affect the consciousness of the demon hunter, there seemed to be nothing normal except alcohol in this ghost place.
After coming back from the tavern, he had several rounds of drinks with Haybold...
Wait a minute, Hybold?
Lorenzo looked to the other side and had to say that the insulation in the longhouse was pretty good. Hebold was lying on the animal skin rug not far from the bonfire, humming from time to time.
"Ah...is this a hangover?"
Lorenzo pressed his somewhat confused forehead, his eyes became slightly brighter, and his consciousness became clearer.
The crew was not surprised by Lorenzo's wonderful gesture. On the deck, he could always see Lorenzo's heroic leap and create a beautiful splash on the sea. At that time, he and other crew members
This is for rating Lorenzo's diving.
"What Captain Notal means is that we need to go to Lingbing Bay for further maintenance. With Inerweger's technical support there, Lingbing Bay Shipyard has the conditions to repair these damages."
"Are these injuries serious?" Lorenzo asked.
"It's not serious, but it's difficult to repair. This involves the internal structure of the hull. During the naval battle, a shell penetrated the armor and sank into the cabin, affecting the lower structure."
"Will it have any effect on monsters?"
"It shouldn't have much of an impact. After all, demons are just flesh and blood. Their way of attacking is to climb up from the outer armor to the deck. But if we fight against an iron-clad ship, I'm not sure what will happen.
The bombardment is far more powerful than the demon's claws."
Lorenzo fell silent. With the development of science and technology, humans have been able to suppress demons in terms of firepower, such as those woven third-generation armors, such as Ascalon, and even those weapons sealed deep underground in the Platinum Palace.
them.
Now the only thing that limits humans from fighting monsters is weird erosion.
"Okay, looks like we have to pick up the pace."
Lorenzo was still a little worried.
"What's wrong?"
When the sound rang out, Shrike came over from the side and was amazed when he saw Lorenzo waking up.
"I didn't expect witchers to be hungover."
"You will inevitably get dizzy if you drink too much in one go." Lorenzo replied, then he pointed at Haybold and asked, "What happened last night? I remember that Haybold and I came back here and sat down
Chatting in front of the campfire...and then the memory is gone."
"Oh, you and him were chatting about some old stuff, it was all messy, and then Heibald was crying while reading a book. He told you some storylines, and then you two hugged each other and cried and screamed."
Shrike walked up to Highbould, picked up the "Victoria's Secret" that fell next to him, and kicked Hebold with his feet. The Viking was fast asleep and unresponsive.
"It seems that the demon hunter's physique is indeed very good. You can actually drink up a Viking."
Shrike was sincerely in awe of Lorenzo's drinking capacity this time. With the way he drank heavily last night, he felt that the witcher was about to suffer from alcohol poisoning.
"Hiccup~"
Lorenzo burped, smelling of wine.
The difference between witchers and ordinary people is so obvious. Haybold is still unconscious, while Lorenzo is almost awake.
"However, if there are risks when facing an armored ship..."
Recalling the conversation with Ragnar last night, Lorenzo always felt that there were many hidden dangers in the trip to Lingbing Bay. Not to mention anything else, Shrike's attitude alone was very troublesome.
"Shrike, if you see Floki again, will you kill him?"
Lorenzo asked abruptly. This question came so suddenly that even Shrike didn't react.
He looked at Lorenzo's eyes and made sure that he was not being crazy, but was asking himself questions seriously, and then he said.
"Won't."
"Won't?"
Lorenzo was surprised. He had already thought about how to comfort Shrike and ask him to spare Floki's life first, but he actually didn't mean to do so.
"Otherwise? The events related to our action are too important. My personal hatred is not worth mentioning compared with it. Besides, there are many opportunities for revenge, so there is no need at this time."
Shrike had already been mentally prepared, and his tone was sincere.
"Are these professionals from the purification agency? They are really dedicated to their job." Lorenzo praised.
"As a demon hunter, you also adhere to professional ethics."
Shrike and Lorenzo started complimenting each other, but I'm afraid only they know how much of it was a joke and how much of it was serious.
"But how did you come up with this?"
asked the Shrike. Lorenzo had had many opportunities to ask him this kind of thing while on board the ship, but ended up asking him at this time.
"I just got the news that Floki is a believer of the Final Society..." Lorenzo's voice paused, remembering Ragnar's description of Floki, and he continued, "Of course, he may not be
What a devout believer, but what is certain is that he is related to the Doomsday Society."
"Lengbing Bay is like the lower town of Old Dunling. There are people from all over the place. In addition to the Society of the End and Floki's pursuit of the Sea of Silence, I don't know much about Lingbing Bay.
What will happen?"
This is what troubles Lorenzo. Everything about Lingbing Bay is unknown to him.
"How could you be troubled by something like this?"
Shrike didn't understand Lorenzo's distress, and only then did Lorenzo notice the subtle look in Shrike's eyes, which was full of fighting intent.
"The last demon hunter of the old order, a one-man force that few in the world can match."
Shrike said and pointed out the window.
"The Morning Glory Advance is the most advanced iron-clad ship today. As long as we use full power, the junk from the Viking countries can't catch up with us."
Lorenzo looked suddenly enlightened, and then showed an expression of admiration, as if to say, "Good boy."
"When you arrive at Lingbing Bay, you kidnap Floki and I ask him to obey. Then, with full power, we head to the Sea of Silence. You see, everything is very simple. As for any interference that may occur during the period, it can be resolved with force, but we don't
Lack of force.”
Shrike's thinking was extremely straightforward, but what needs to be admitted is that such a plan was perfect. In the face of absolute force, Lorenzo could not think of any way for Floki to resist.
"The only thing we have to worry about is what happens next. Our actions will undoubtedly anger the Viking nations. I just hope the Ice King doesn't take it too seriously. After all, this is to save the world."
After hanging out with Lorenzo for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be contaminated by Lorenzo's weirdness, and the Shrike began to go rogue.
"Don't worry about that," Lorenzo recalled Ragnar's views on the lords, "Maybe the Ice King will support us in doing this."
"ah?"
This time the shrike was stunned.
A kidnapping plan targeting the lord was finalized in this absurd situation.
"Then please, please wait until Lord Wilgdason and I confirm the trade before kidnapping him? Maybe I can even assist you."
A soft female voice sounded beside the two of them, so abruptly that it frightened Lorenzo and Shrike's hearts to speed up.
"Se... Seleu?"
Lorenzo lowered his head, and then he saw the girl standing aside. She was wearing pure white pajamas, with her pale white blond hair flowing down. Her presence was always so thin that it was difficult to feel her presence without deliberate effort.
.
"When did you come here?"
"Huh? We've been together since the time when Shrike kicked Highborder, but you two seemed to be having a great time talking."
Seliu waved her hand. She was not angry at others for ignoring her, but she liked this feature very much, because when these guys noticed her, their expressions were very interesting.
"Let me see."
Seleu took away the books from Shrike's hand. She liked reading books very much. For this trip, she brought a lot of books with her to pass the time on the road.
Like a glow that didn't belong here, she stepped over the corpse of Haybold, crossed over a piece of indescribable vomit, sat aside and opened a book.
The past life made it easy for Seliu to adapt to a different life. For her, no matter how bad it was, it couldn't have been worse than that time.
"Then...should I go back and recover first?"
The crewman who was left aside said that he was similar to Seleu. He tried to bring the topic to the right track many times, but was ignored by Lorenzo and Shrike. He just watched helplessly as a serious action turned into a kidnapping crime.
.
Thanks to the fact that there is still such a threat called the demon in this world, without it, no one can figure out whether this great detective will eventually return to an ordinary life, or whether he will turn to crime in search of excitement.
"go Go."
Lorenzo signaled the crew to leave, then lowered his body, grabbed Heibald's armpits, and dragged Heibald up.
"vomit!"
It probably pressed against Heibald's abdomen. Hearing this sound, Heibald started vomiting, which made Lorenzo scream in fear. His movements were so skillful that he threw Heibald out before he could spit it out.
Longhouse.
"Suddenly I miss the kestrel."
After throwing Hibold, Lorenzo missed the Kestrel. He looked at his hands and made fists. In terms of feel, the Kestrel was more comfortable to throw. Hibold was much bigger than the Kestrel.
.
The sound of retching continued, and after a while, there were bursts of whimpering, and Haybold stood up with a dazed look on his face.
…
The cargo ship moved forward on the vast sea, cloudless, and the scorching sunlight fell, making the metal covered by it become hot.
Tuke sat in the shadows, looking at the monotonous scenery. He held a butcher's coin in his hand and rubbed it hard with his fingers, polishing the shrike until it shined brightly.
He couldn't remember how many days it had been since it set sail. The entire ship was maintained by him alone, which was very difficult for him. Because he was too busy, some equipment had problems, but fortunately it did not affect the navigation.
Anyway, this is probably Tuke's last voyage. That is what the woman meant. This Seahorse only needs to send her to the Viking countries, and then its fate will end here. Therefore
There is no need to worry about some damage to the hull.
He slowly raised the gold coin in his hand, and the bright light shone on Tuke's haggard face.
He disposed of the corpses on the ship, whether it was the captain or the crew. After death, everyone's fate became the same, sinking into the sea and becoming food for the fish.
Tuke thought this, slowly stood up, and threw the butcher coin into the sea with all his strength. It clicked on the sea surface several times before finally sinking under the waves.
"Just throw it away?"
The woman was leaning against the door. Her condition seemed much better and she felt much more energetic.
Tuke glanced at Watson. What caught his eye was the posture of a man, but he knew very well that underneath this body was Watson's soul. The silver crown was like a symbol, indicating this soul.
the location of.
"If you don't have life flowers, no matter how much gold you have, it's meaningless. It's better to have fun now."
As he spoke, Tuk threw out a second butcher coin. This was real gold, something that Tuk once tried his best to pursue, but now it was just like a stone, being thrown away casually.
"Do you think you're going to die here?"
Life at sea is very boring. The only person she can talk to here is Tu Ke. Due to the messy thoughts in her mind, she will say something to Tu Ke from time to time these days.
"I don't know, I just think... I might have changed."
Tuke said calmly that he no longer had much fear of Watson, and probably had a "look away" attitude.
"In the end, gold is not that important."
"Is this a look back on a villain?" Watson said.
"I don't know, what do you think?"
Tu Ke looked at Watson. After being frightened, he was quite curious about Watson's secret. This strange existence showed monster-like power, but from some conversations, Tu Ke could also detect some humanity in her, and she was not incapable of communication.
Watson shook his head and said contemptuously.
"It's just a self-justification before the threat of death. You try to make yourself like a good person, a repentant person, to evade responsibility. But no matter how you talk, what you have done is what you have done.
Those who have been killed will not be resurrected, they will always stare at you, waiting to meet you in hell."
"It sounds so cruel..."
Tuke did not have many mood swings. In the first days of getting along with Watson, he was shrouded in fear almost all the time. He was afraid that the silver crown would be worn on his head at some moment.
Fear lived with him until he was completely numb.
"But I think everyone should have a chance to repent."
Watson took a butcher's coin from his hand and turned towards the sea.
"A repentant lie."
"Repentant... lies."
Tuke was thoughtful, Watson ignored what he was thinking, and she also threw the butcher's coin. The gold coin kept jumping on the sea, and was finally buried by the rolling waves.
Watson moved her eyes away from the waves and continued along the sea. The lead-gray iron curtain spanned the sea and blocked her eyes.
