"No, Ivan Bell, you should know the situation in this area better than me, right? Can you give me a little introduction?"

"Let me think about it, the words here should be..."

Ivan Bell closed her eyes and began to recall. The place Caschia asked her to introduce belonged to Sinekasis. Nekasis was originally a chaotic tribe, but at the same time, the area of ​​​​this tribe was terrifyingly vast. , almost the entire continent to the west is owned by Nekasis.Ivan Bell still remembers what kind of person the chief of the Nekasis tribe is. When she uncovered the criminal hiding in the tribe, the chief chopped the man into pieces with an ax directly in front of her. Both halves, the strength and decisiveness are beyond the reach of Ivan Bell.So much so that she still remembers it clearly.

"The chief there is difficult to deal with. I can't see through his strength. If we think wrong, I shouldn't be able to defeat him."

"At the same time, if we trespass into their territory, the chief will definitely come to us as soon as possible."

While giving the information, Ivan Bell also said a few more words.It was okay if she didn't say it, but when she said it, Alice took several breaths of air.

Even Ivan Bell admitted that she could not defeat someone, what kind of existence would that be?That would be on the same level as Samuel, which would be scary.

In fact, there are still people who can beat Ivan Bell, provided that they are willing to take action.So to a certain extent, the chief of Nekasis is not as scary as Alice thought, but he is definitely a troublesome figure.

"We have no other way but here? Do we have to land in Nekasis?"

As Wei Xi'an spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the map. He seemed to be trying to calculate a new route from the map.

"We could go around to Eklia in the north, but that would take too much time."

"Safety or time, can we only mean one or the other? There is really no other way..."

"Who makes the decision? Alice, are you coming?"

Caschia turned his head to Alice, silently waiting for Alice's response.

Chapter 276 Interlude (4)

Alice Black, this young magician, never imagined that one day she would take the position of leader.She believes that her brain is not as good as that of her other companions. Of course, this is not in terms of IQ, but in terms of experience. Having spent all her time in the academy before the age of 16, she knew very little about the outside world, and the few knowledge she had in her memory came from other people's mouths or books.

If you place her next to the campaign table, she will just tell you that the map is beautiful.

But it happened that she was like this, and everyone was watching and looking forward to her.

"This...I..."

Alice opened her mouth in confusion, then she twisted her stiff neck and looked around. She saw the anticipation and seriousness in the eyes of her three companions.This is simply a difficult situation for her. Which of these three people is not more strategic than her?Anyone you pick out at random is a hundred times more reliable than her!

"You are too nervous. I just asked you to choose a route. Besides, I think we will have to face the chief sooner or later. No matter which route we take, it will only be the difference between sooner or later. That’s all.”

Visian shook his head with a smile on his face.

"What you said is too light. What if I choose the short route and get affected by the war? What if I choose the long route and Eva runs away..."

"Alice, Alice! Calm down!"

Ivan Bell jumped up and gave Alice a shock, successfully knocking Alice out of panic mode.Alice rubbed the top of her head pitifully and looked at Ivan Bell with tearful eyes.

"I'm not telling the truth...why do you want to hit me?"

"'Adventures usually come with risks.' We can even say that there is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world. You don't have to pay too much attention to the difference between the two routes, just choose one at will. This is considered your first step as the captain. It’s an order.”

Caschia helplessly comforted Alice. His tone was very gentle, and he succeeded in calming Alice down a little.But the next second...

"Wait! Why did you say the same thing as Wei Xi'an! You were really whispering about me just now, right!?"

"Huh? No? We were talking just now... huh?"

Before Vician could finish speaking, Caschia rushed over and covered his mouth.Vician turned his head and looked at Caschia in confusion, asking with his eyes why he did this.

"Don't mention it!"

Vician heard Caschia whisper to him slightly embarrassed, and then he nodded clearly, indicating that the other party could remove his hand.Alice was confused when she saw this scene. She puffed up her cheeks and showed a dissatisfied posture.

"Ahem, it's nothing. We just... didn't say anything bad about you. We were discussing parliamentary affairs, yes, that's all."

"Hey——! But you are acting very suspicious!"

"Alice, please don't ask about this, or you may get calluses on your ears."

Evan Bell jumped on Alice's lap and sat down.She raised her furry little head and looked at Alice while releasing the "charm" attack.I have to say that this move was really cruel. As soon as she came into contact with Ivan Bell's watery eyes, Alice suddenly felt that her heart was about to melt. She no longer thought about delving into the matter of "Captain", and even Even the tension disappeared in this moment.After she sucked Ivan angrily until she was satisfied, she remembered what she should do now.

"I think we should just choose the shortest route! But when the time comes we actually meet the chief Ivan mentioned, you can't blame me!"

"It's okay. Even if Ivan Bell can't beat him, doesn't it mean I'm still there?"

"...Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed better than me. But you have never taken it seriously, right! Except for Ander that time!"

Ivan Bell kicked his hind legs in the direction of Visian, showing an expression that said, "I want to kick you in the face right now."

"Okay, whatever you say. In short, I promise you that if you meet the legendary chief, I will give priority to letting you leave alive. Are you satisfied?"

Visian promised Ivan Bell in a glib tone, although his words did not sound very credible... But ever since Ivan Bell started quarreling with Visian, the atmosphere at the scene became lively, and this lively atmosphere The atmosphere was maintained until the end of the conversation.During the conversation, Alice and her companions discussed several countermeasures, including countermeasures when accidentally encountering enemies, escape routes when accidentally entering the battlefield, etc.

But the most important thing is how they want to land in Nomoft.As Caschia said, the sea area between Nomoft and Xios is not actually completely blocked. This can be understood by looking at the refugees wandering on the street.At the same time, the arrival of the refugees also showed that the sea was relatively calm at this stage. As long as they had a boat, they would be able to successfully set foot on the land of Nomoft without taking much risk.

But the question is, where are they going to get a ship?

The Vishian family's Isabella II was of no use. The beauty of the sea was too big and could easily be used as a target on the sea.Besides, the Isabella is still on its way back to Les Penaud, so we can't let her appear on the sea near here out of thin air, right?

After removing one option, there is only one other option to choose from. Alice and her party's trip in the next few days will be mainly focused on "finding a suitable ship". During the search, they have to work hard to get it together. Supplies needed for a long journey.

Food, water, and medicine are all indispensable supplies. Without these, it would be difficult to even survive in Cold Rock City, let alone explore unknown lands.Money will eventually run out, unless you are all extremely rich magic stone dealers.

"Then we've decided to go look for it separately. It'll be faster this way."

"That's right, then I'll..."

"You stay in the hotel. If your identity is exposed outside, we will have to go to trouble to find you."

"Visian is right. Ivan, you are not suitable for running around now. Be obedient and stay here. I will bring you fresh carrots."

"Don't treat me like a rabbit! I'm a human being! A human being!"

Ivan Bell's angry roar soared into the sky, and the neighbors on both sides of the room were so shocked that they jumped up from the bed.At the same time, the room became chaotic again. Alice's panicked apology, Vician's ridicule, and Caschia's headache-inducing sigh filled the room, making people outside couldn't help but guess what happened. What happened inside.

Chapter 277 Chase (1)

The next day, Alice and her party were going to the streets to prepare for their trip.Food and water are fine as long as you have money, but boats for going out to sea are the most troublesome items.On the way, Ivan Bell suggested that everyone go to the port and have a look. She said that since there were so many ships docked at the port, there must be someone willing to resell one of them to them.

Ivan Bell's proposal was quickly adopted, and it was because of this that Alice and her party lingered in the port area.The process of buying a boat was not smooth. As soon as she approached the port area, Alice was immediately dazzled by the rows of boats.

After walking along the stop for a while, a man sitting on the street and sighing suddenly broke into the sight of Alice and her party.

"What should I do? What should I do? If this continues..."

The man was mumbling to himself. Alice and the others stood not far away and listened for a while. Then they gradually understood everything that had happened to the captain.First of all, this man's boat is docked in the far left corner of the port, which is very inconspicuous.And when someone really walks over and takes a closer look at his boat, he will definitely sigh "What happened to this boat!?".

This ship is not big. Judging from the appearance, it can only accommodate dozens of people at most.If it didn't have large scorch marks on its body, and if the sail hanging on the mast could still be used, it should be considered a good ship.

"Maybe we can buy it and refit it and it should be ready for use." Caschia stood on the ship and looked at it carefully, then murmured in a low voice.Although his voice was relatively low, his companions heard him clearly.

"Modification? Indeed, although it looks a little bad, it can indeed go to sea after repairing it."

"Are you serious! No matter how I look at this ship..."

Alice's eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed at the small broken ship in front of her. No matter how she looked at it, the ship looked hopeless. It didn't look like it could be easily repaired.

"Besides, we alone can't sail this ship. We still need crew members and so on."

"No, this is enough for us."

"I don't care. I can't help with going to sea anyway. Everything depends on you."

Ivan Bell curled his lips and stared at the rippling sea with a bored expression.She really couldn't help with anything, so after saying that, she started wandering around the port with nothing to do.

"Our funds are ultimately limited. After we buy a ship, we won't have much money left to purchase supplies."

"In other words, the options we have to choose from are actually very few, and now is a good opportunity."

"I understand, so be it...but you guys should tell me how to sail the boat later!"

After a brief discussion, Alice and her entourage walked up to the captain of the small broken ship and spoke loudly to him.The captain seemed surprised by the conversation between Alice and the others. He was stunned for more than half a minute before he stammered in reply.

"Are you serious!? Do you want to buy my boat? Are you S... No, no, no, no, I mean, you have really good taste!"

"I'm not lying. This ship of mine is made of the best Elf wood, which is very precious. As you know, Elf wood is not only hard but also the lightest wood."

"And this ship is engraved with dwarven runes. It can help..."

Alice could hear the urgency in the captain's tone. He seemed to be very eager to sell his ship.But she also heard the few words that escaped his mouth.

"Just leave the good words behind. Just make a price. If it's reasonable, we'll buy it right away."

"Then, then, three hundred gold coins?"

"Humph……"

Visian stood in front of the captain with his hands folded across his chest, looking at him meaningfully.Alice looked at Vician in confusion. She was silent for a while, then pulled Caschia over and asked.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"It seems to be a matter of bidding. We can just watch from the side. Let Vician solve it. He is good at this."

Alice nodded to express her understanding, and while she was talking to Caschia, the conversation between Vician and the captain was still going on.

"Three hundred gold coins. It seems that you really need money. But your ship is not worth that much money. 240 gold coins, no more."

"That's not okay! Look at it and touch it! This is elf wood! Wood from Seck is hard to see here!"

"Even if it's hard to see, it doesn't mean that no one has seen it. Elf wood doesn't look like this. At least it's not afraid of fire."

"That, that! The dwarf's..."

"The runes of the dwarves are made of magical materials, and they usually emit magical echoes, but I didn't feel any similar fluctuations on your ship."

Faced with Vishian's rebuttal, the captain quickly became discouraged.

"Okay, okay. Just 240, that's right! Do you need a crew? If so, I can...!"

"Don't worry about this, we don't need it."

Vician interrupted the captain and handed the money to him neatly.The captain with the money bag quickly disappeared into the port, never intending to come back.

Next, after Caschia retrieved Ivan Bell from somewhere, the repair work on the ship began.Although they successfully bought the boat and the price was within their affordability, the boat still needed someone to help make it return to its original state.

"What are we going to do? It seems very difficult..." Alice tried her best to raise her head and looked at the ship in front of her seriously.

"Just repair it casually, it won't take us long anyway."

"That's right, let's do it, everyone?"

As the words fell, Alice and her party began to take action.They didn't modify much of the hull. They just used magic to repair the holes and scorch marks on it, and then replaced it with a brand new sail. That was enough.The boat that has been slightly renewed by their hands looks much better. At least it makes people feel that the boat will not sink directly in the middle of sailing.
