"Guests, get ready! We're about to sail!"
The captain, who looked very fierce, shouted loudly, the anchor was pulled up, and the oars below urged the ship to leave the port. When it was some distance away from the port, the captain stretched out his hand to test the wind direction, and shouted to the sailors to put away the oars and open the sails.
The huge canvas was opened and the ship accelerated. Lorenno felt very comfortable feeling the cold wind blowing against his face.
"Here, here's the fishing rod for you."
He gave the extra-long fishing rod to Shaluo and Aisha, and the three of them prepared to fish on the stern of the fast-moving ship. Lorenno hung small pieces of meat on the fishing rod and threw it directly into the sea.
This method seems to be called drift fishing, and it is mainly used to catch ferocious fish. Lorenno doesn’t know if it can be done on a large boat, so he will try it first.
The three of them sat at the stern of the boat. Elsa soon became impatient and dropped the fishing rod to try to walk around the boat. Lorenno suddenly exclaimed and pulled the fishing rod. The fishing line instantly straightened and the fishing rod bent.
"I caught it!"
The half-elf girl held the fishing rod and pulled it hard a few times. After confirming that a fish had bitten the hook, she immediately raised her arm and threw it up without any care. A fish with a mouth full of huge sharp teeth fluttered into the air, attracting The looks of some sailors and merchants.
It was a carnivorous barracuda. After it landed on the ground, it flopped and jumped towards the nearest human. It opened its mouth and tried to bite it, but Elsa quickly caught it and threw it to the ground.
As the head hit the ground, the barracuda fluttered a few times and finally settled down. Looking at the one-meter-long barracuda, Aisha thought about how to eat it.
"Hey, Captain! Can you lend me the kitchen?!"
Elsa waved to the menacing captain, who took a puff from his cigarette and called the sailor to respond loudly: "Let him take you over, wolf cub!"
Entering the cabin with the barracuda, Lorenno continued fishing. Unfortunately, the second fish took the bait after a long time, but Shaluo was lucky enough to catch three or four, all of which were ferocious fish.
While calmly fishing, Lorenno suddenly opened his eyes. From his psychic perception, Elsa seemed to have had an argument with someone, but she didn't kill anyone. Instead, she was running towards the deck carrying something.
"Ano Ano! Some people say I killed someone!"
The wolf girl shouted loudly, looking very excited. At the same time, a group of sailors chased out from behind, two of them were very angry, and the rest just looked incomprehensible.
Followed.
Before Lorenno could say anything, the captain at the helm came from a distance, took out a blunderbuss and fired several shots into the sky: "Stop, what happened?"
"Captain! She killed Martin! I saw it with my own eyes!"
The two rushed to report to the captain. From their mouths, they learned that as soon as they entered the door, they saw a sailor named Martin lying on the ground in a bloody state, with Elsa holding fish standing next to him.
Aisha protested: "I went there because the old chef said he had his special spices over there. When I got there, I saw people dead."
The two sides were arguing, and this matter attracted a lot of people's attention. Lorenno put away the fishing rod calmly: "Instead of talking here, why don't we go in and take a look together?"
Chapter 638 Sailing
Seeing that Lorenno was not frightened at all by the death of a man, the sailors were filled with indignation. However, the captain released the pressure to stop these guys, and then threw the coercion at Lorenno and the three of them, and said with gritted teeth:
"Then please, if it really concerns you."
"Then the three of us will have to deal with a group of you." Lorenno shrugged.
Not hearing the words of abandoning his companions, the captain frowned slightly, but they were above the sea at this time, and the three of them couldn't run away, so they walked towards the cabin together. The person in charge of the caravan also came over after learning about this. .
"Captain Nemo, I'm sorry that this happened. If you don't mind, can we be witnesses."
The young man wearing a monocle and his escort came to the captain. Nemo snorted and nodded in agreement.
A large group of people entered the scene of the incident. Lorenno and the three of them felt no fear at all, as if they were involved in an incident that had nothing to do with them. The half-elf immediately saw the tragic death of Sailor Martin.
His chest was cut open directly, and the internal organs inside were missing. Blood spattered on the wall of the entire storage room. He looked horrified, as if he had seen something terrifying, and there were claw marks on his limbs and the rest of his torso.
"Look at these claw marks, it must have been done by this lycanthrope, and she also ate all the internal organs!"
"I won't eat such disgusting things. I'm not a beast and can eat raw food."
Elsa said dissatisfied. Lorenno did not speak immediately. Anyway, after recalling the situation in her psychic perception, she had already remembered who killed the sailor named Martin, but she didn’t know what it was for the time being. .
One of the people who got on the ship killed the sailor. Unfortunately, the appearance can be changed, but the fluctuation of the essence of life cannot be changed. Lorenno knows who did it. Now he just wants to see if others can. Find out the real culprit.
If not, Lorenno just needs to find that guy out.
"It does seem like it was torn apart by a wild beast..." "Is it possible for a lycanthrope to recover immediately after going berserk..." "That's premeditated..."
I saw some very knowledgeable guys milling around the corpse, but unfortunately there were no famous detectives inside. In the end, I could only conclude that it was indeed some creature with claws that killed him.
And the only one on this ship who can grow claws is Elsa.
"Do you have anything to say?"
The captain looked at the three men. The sailors were forcing them to come over. Lorenno didn't panic at all. He suddenly pulled out the ringing pan and shot an arrow at the businessman behind the organizer!
With a soft sound, no one in the cabin reacted. The businessman whose eyes were hit by the arrow shrunk and fell to the ground.
Its epidermis began to change. The skin was pale and smooth, like pig skin soaked in oil. The white eyes protruded from the eye sockets with no pupils. The limbs and torso were very slender, similar to those of poor people who did not have enough to eat.
The people with weapons reacted and wanted to attack immediately, but were attracted by the startling breath from behind. The vigilant captain also heard their shouts: "Ship... Captain, there is a monster!"
Seeing Lorenno retract the crossbow, Nemo looked back and immediately showed a shocked expression. Lorenno touched his chin and suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a shape-shifter, no wonder."
It is estimated that Martin saw the transformation scene, so he pretended to be Elsa and killed him.
……
"...I'm very sorry, ladies, I misunderstood you."
The shapeshifter was dealt with by Lorenno, and the businessman suddenly felt frightened. The captain blushed and apologized to the three of them. The half-elf girl did not bother him, but just reminded him to be careful.
"Arnold, let's forget it. I thought we were going to have a fight."
"This is the sea. If we kill them all, who will sail the ship? Don't worry, there will definitely be troubles during these days at sea. When the time comes, we will watch and won't help them."
Lorenno stood on the deck and looked at the suspended shapeshifter. Those whose life force had fluctuated and changed all looked at the shapeshifter with inexplicable eyes. Everyone was in danger. After all, no one knew whether their disguise would be discovered. .
"But why do so many races want to go to the Northland..."
The half-elf girl was very confused. Could it be that something happened there recently that could allow adventurers to fish in troubled waters and seek profits?
After eating the barracuda and the dry food in the dimensional bag, the three of them went directly back to their rooms without staying on the deck.
The ship has four levels. The bottom level is the area where the oarsmen and slaves are kept. The third to last level is below the deck, where the oarsmen and poor people who don't spend much money sleep. However, since this trip to the Northland, there is only rowing. Hand sleep.
The second layer is armor
The upper floor is for small businessmen, who spend more money and have higher comfort. The next floor is a room that big businessmen can afford. Lorenno and three people also booked this room. After all, there is no need to wrong themselves.
In the first few days after going to sea, except for the impact of the shapeshifters, everyone was in peace. Some guys who got on the ship gave up some ideas of attacking the captain and controlling the ship when they saw that the captain did not find them.
After a while, Aya, who was reading spells in the room, heard shouts from outside: "Oh no, there are pirates!"
"pirate!?"
Elsa got up excitedly, got dressed and jumped out. Lorenno put down his book and walked out of the door curiously with Shaluo. In the distance, a large ship that was almost the same as this ship was approaching, with a skull painted on the sail. There are also several golden roses in the skull.
"The Golden Skull?"
Captain Nemo looked unkind, but he was not too scared. He raised his hand to ask the sailors to prepare for battle. All of these sailors showed excited smiles and had murderous intent on their bodies.
Could it be that the people on this ship are all retired pirates? It seems that they are generally a bit old.
Lorenno guessed that Elsa was curious about the difference between pirates and bandits in terms of fighting. Not only them, there were many merchant cats inside the door, praying that the captain, sailors and caravan guards could repel the pirates.
"Load the shells in and prepare to attack!"
While they were praying over there, the sailors here were moving quickly following Nemo's orders. His body lit up with magical aura, and the halo enveloped the sailors, raising their morale to a high level.
Bang...bang, bang, bang-woo! !
The horn sounded, and the passionate melody echoed on the ship. The sailors moved faster and faster under the guidance of the sound, and began to sing at the same time.
"It's a good time to go to sea, let's go, boys, the sail is already high..."
"Good boy, come sail with us..."
……

Chapter 639 Repel
Lorenno's ship was not fast enough and was still traveling against the wind. It was difficult to escape the pursuit from the other side. Captain Nemo immediately turned the ship's bow and rushed towards the pirate ship.
All the sails were opened, the sailors and soldiers drew their weapons, and Lorenno gradually noticed the figures of the pirates, all exuding turbulent malice.
"Kill them and loot them all!"
"Oh!"
The shouts reached Lorenno's ears, and the half-elf girl was not prepared to go out to help. Judging from the number and strength, the pirate opposite could not defeat the armed personnel on the ship.
The two boats quickly closed the distance, and everyone was ready to go. The intense heartbeats echoed in everyone's chest, rolling together with the waves.
The faces of the two opposing sides became increasingly clear. When the two ships entered a parallel state, the captain of the pirate ship and Nemo shouted at almost the same time: "Fire!"
The cannonballs were fired from the muzzle to the opposite ship. Because the distance was still too far, many of the round iron balls failed to hit the water, and a small part hit the hull or deck of the ship.
The iron balls dug huge holes, and some directly hit the sailors on the ship. After being hit in the front by the cannonballs, they all fell to the ground and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. The two sides were approaching in a circle, and the sound of gunfire continued one after another.
Since both sides were not gunpowder shells but solid shells, the damage to the ship was not too serious. Nemo looked at the approaching pirate ship and raised his arms, ready to start a boarding battle at any time with an order.
The pirates on the other side obviously thought so too. They had stopped shelling and jumped on the fence to prepare for close combat. When the pirate ship traveling against the wind corrected its direction and caught up with the travel ship, Nemo and the pirate captain said in unison:
"Throw the hook lock, fight on the side!" "Throw the hook lock, boys, come on! There are a lot of women and food over there!"
Thick and strong ropes were thrown to the other side with iron hooks, and the iron hooks locked the fence. Pirates and pirate-like sailors jumped on the hook locks and jumped towards the ships on both sides, and almost half of them passed by.
"Come and help!"
The caravan organizer shouted at the caravan guard, raised his hand and pointed it at the man in black robe next to the pirate captain, who made the same action almost at the same time——
Ring 0 [Acid Splash]!
Ring 0 [Fire Arrow]!
Acid and flames collided and splashed in the air. The two of them narrowed their eyes and looked cautious. They knew that the person facing them was a mage, but they didn't know what level he knew and what spells he knew.
"Ah, you look so weak."
Elsa, who was staying in the cabin, couldn't help but say that Lorenno was paying attention to the overall battle situation and found that the caravan guards and sailors on his side seemed unable to defeat the pirates.
The main reason is that the guards have to find ways to protect the merchants, so it is difficult to launch an effective attack on the pirates. It is difficult for sailors alone to fight against the pirates with large numbers.
Although he said he would not help them, it would not be good to let the pirates occupy the ship and kill too many people. Seeing that the situation was almost over, Lorenno wanted to go out to reverse the situation, but was stopped by Aya.
[Come on, let me try the newly learned song. 】
Aiya opened her eyes, a hint of gold flashed in her pupils, took out the lark and held it in her hand, opened the hatch and walked out.
"There are women here..."
The pirates who crashed into other doors saw Aya. Although she didn't look good with the transformation technique, she still didn't look good.
The pirates obviously didn't care so much and rushed up to restrain her. Aya raised the lark and tapped it lightly, then opened her mouth——
2nd ring [Crushing Sound Wave].
"what!!!"
Substantial sound waves spread in a ring under the blessing of the lark. All the pirates approaching flew out, fell into the sea or directly hit the wall. The huge impact directly shattered their internal organs and died on the spot.
Standing at a high place, Aya raised the long sword with the lavender scabbard, played the lark again with her fingers, and sang a passionate song in the humming state.
Level 0 [Phantom Sound Technique]! 【Inspire courage】! 【Boost morale】!
The elf girl's song instantly spread across the battlefield. Captain Nemo turned around subconsciously and was completely surprised. He had no idea that the girl was actually a bard.
Magic power flowed into everyone's ears, and some sailors who were unable to resist suddenly raised their morale and started to fight back. They visibly suppressed the pirates on the opposite side and hummed along with Aya, making the song resonate further.
"Kill, capture the big pirate Wei Yi and earn the bounty!"
The momentum of the sailors rose rapidly, and they roared and rushed towards the enemy. Even if the vital parts were hit, they could hold on for half a second and send the weapons into the enemy's body. The non-vital parts even forgot the pain and had to be taken away before death. several.
"Damn bard!"
Seeing the situation there, the big pirate Weiyi frowned. He never expected that there were two spellcasters on a passenger ship, one of them was a bard. He was comparable to three or four spellcasters in such a large-scale battle situation. Level casters must be stronger.
"I don't think we should attack them by force."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the man in black robes immediately suggested to the captain. Wei Yi did not hesitate at all and shouted loudly: "Everyone should return to the deck immediately!"
The pirates, who had already retreated due to the inconvenient idea, were overjoyed when they heard the captain's words. Desperadoes also become desperate based on profit, and they did not want to lose their lives on this merchant ship that seemed to have little property.
"Back all!"
Seeing that the other side was about to leave, Nemo did not continue to pester, and called the sailors to come back quickly. The two sides cut the rope, and the pirate watched the merchant ship gradually go away.
