King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 762: Disadvantages of the Patrol Ship
"Welcome aboard the Clementine Line patrol ship. This route will depart from Port Helu and end at Fontaine..."

On the towering waterway, a rail patrol ship was moving slowly forward. At the front of the ship was a small commentary platform.

A strange little guy above is explaining the various features of this line to the passengers on both sides of the patrol boat.

From her unique appearance and unusual body shape, we can tell that this diligent little navigator is not a human, but a race unique to Fontaine - the Melusine.

As a new commentator, Aibel was very conscientious about her job. But when she saw someone staring at her, she immediately became nervous.

"Um... everyone, why are you all looking at me like this? Could it be... could it be that my explanation is not good?"

Worried, the green, furry horns on both sides of Aibel's work hat began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Uh... I don't think so. Compared to the beautiful scenery of Fontaine, I think Melusin is more attractive."

The young master glanced at the embers. It was just a creature unique to Fontainebleau. Was it necessary to be so curious about it?

Well... well, it's actually still quite magical. Even though Young Master was criticizing Yu Jin in his heart, his own gaze would occasionally turn towards Aibel in front of him.

"Ahem, that's true. Aibei'er, do you know how Meilushin was born?"

Seeing Aibel's worried look, Yu Jin immediately coughed and turned his head. He was so curious about Meilushin mainly because in his opinion, these little guys seemed to be the products of alchemy.

Creating life, or even a race, is one of the highest pursuits of alchemy, and one cannot help but pay attention to it.

“Huh…, so that’s how it is.”

After hearing this, Aibel immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, there was nothing wrong with his work.

She raised her head and saw the undiminished curiosity in the eyes of Young Master and Yu Jin, so she waved her hand and said:
"I understand the two guests' curiosity about Meilushin and our origins..."

"I do not know either!"

As he spoke, Aibel scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Not only outsiders like Gongzi and Yujin, but also many people from Fontaine had the same question, but unfortunately, the Meilushin people didn't know their origins at all.

Over time, no one cared anymore.

"Although I don't know the origin of our Melusin, I know everything about the Clementine line!"

"Look, my dear guests, over there is the great lake of Fontaine..."

Soon, Aibel entered into working mode, tirelessly explaining the scenery along the route to Gongzi and Yujin.

Her enthusiasm for work was a little unexpected, and she wanted to describe every place the patrol ship had been to.

Then, she saw the young master stand up from his seat.

"Sir, do you have any questions?" Aibel saw the young master stand up and thought he had some questions.

"I want to ask, can it be faster?" The young master looked at the speed of the patrol boat and asked anxiously.

"But this is the fastest speed." Aibel spread his hands.

"What? Fastest?!"

The young master expressed great shock, and then he put one foot on the edge of the patrol boat.

"Sir, please don't do this. This is a dangerous behavior!" Seeing this, Aibel immediately began to advise.

Although the speed of the patrol ship is not fast and there is a waterway below, the waterway is too high. If you accidentally fall down, even the gods can't save you.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Your patrol ship is too slow." The young man scratched his head and cheek. He also felt that this was not good, but he looked at the mountains and sea slowly receding in front of him, and made up his mind to jump off the patrol ship.

“Your explanation is very good! I will give you a thumbs up!!!”

"Boom!"

Purple lightning shuttled across the waterway and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Too...too slow?"

"Don't worry about him. He won't die even if he falls from up there." Seeing that Aibel didn't react, Yu Jin couldn't help but comfort him.

"I understand. The patrol…ship…is…too…slow!"

"I will report this to the higher-ups!"

She nodded, then took out a piece of paper and a pen from her uniform pocket and wrote it down seriously.

As a tour guide and the manager of the patrol boat, Aibel is responsible for collecting suggestions from passengers. "In that case, it seems that you are the only guest left." Aibel put away his pen and paper and sighed.

We finally got two customers, but unexpectedly one of them ran away halfway.

"From what you said, there are very few people riding the patrol boat?"

"That's right. It's free, and the scenery along the route is carefully selected."

Aibel nodded somewhat frustratedly. She loved the job of commentating, but unfortunately, she didn't have much chance to do it most of the time.

"Is that so..." Yu Jin sat leisurely on the seat of the patrol boat. He looked at the scenery opposite him. At this speed, even an ordinary person could not run faster than him.

No wonder the young master was so anxious that he jumped off the boat. Fortunately, Yu Jin was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time.

"The destination of this trip, Fontaine, is located in..."

Accompanied by Abel's commentary, the patrol ship moved forward on the set track.

Afterwards, after crossing a strait, Yu Jin, who had originally wanted to relax, immediately became energetic.

What did he see? He saw a huge whale!

"It seems that the guest is very interested in Mount Erinath?" Aibel asked upon seeing this.

"Hmm? Is this a mountain?"

Yu Jin was a little surprised when he heard this. He tilted his head back and took a closer look. Hey, this looks like a mountain!

The mountain is lush and green, with flourishing vegetation, and looks full of vitality.

However, Yu Jin knew that this was not a mountain, but the fallen body of some wild beast. Its bones and flesh had turned into something similar to soil under the weathering of time.

And looking at the appearance of this beast, it looks like some big fish. I wonder if you noticed it when you passed by.

"That's right, our Meilushin's home, Haimo Village, is right here!" Aibel continued to add.

"I understand, stop! I want to get off the boat!"

Ember nodded, then raised his arm to signal to stop.

Unfortunately, his hands were sore from raising them, and there was no sign of the patrol boat stopping.

"Sir, the patrol ship cannot stop midway." Aibel whispered to Yu Jin.

"Now let me give you my second suggestion." Yu Jin lowered his arms, then stood up and walked to the edge of the patrol ship.

"Guest, please speak."

Aibel took out his notebook again.

"Remember to set up a few stops along the way."

"Guest! Guest——"

The patrol boat shook, and Aibel hurriedly jumped off the commentary desk, leaned over the railing and shouted loudly.

The reason was simple: Yu Jin just jumped off the orbital patrol ship with a big leap.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise coming from below, and then Aibel saw a figure jumping up and down on the green hillside, moving back and forth at an astonishing speed.

It goes without saying that the man was the Ember who had just jumped off the patrol ship.

"I'm fine—"

After waving to the patrol ship moving slowly on the waterway above his head, Yu Jin couldn't wait to run away.

As for whether Aibel heard it, I'm afraid the answer is no - because the little guy is now squatting on the patrol boat, lost in thought.

"I remember there were two guests today, why is there none now?"

Aibel murmured to himself, yes, how could two such big guests disappear in the blink of an eye?
