Chapter 321 Stories from the Sea

The night wind was a bit cold, Shade looked towards Prince who was beside him Miss, the latter's dress obviously won't keep you warm. But the other party is a five-ring warlock, so he won't get sick easily.

A moored boat was found in the northeast of the trestle. After the two of them got on the boat, the boatman in the straw hat drove the two away from the trestle with the oars. This is just a small wooden boat, of course it is not used to carry them to the deep sea.

In the harbour of Coldwater Harbor lies a rather imposing double deck steam cruise ship with brightly lit decks. The chimney towers over the deck of the cruise ship, representing the flag of Carson Rick fluttering in the wind.

From the looks of it, this was the private cruise of a wealthy businessman from Carson Rick, and some thrill-seekers were invited to a banquet on the cruise tonight. But in fact, the local ring warlock possessed great magical power in Lengshuigang City bought the manager of the port and held an auction for the ring warlock item on the ship tonight.

It is also because of the special nature of this kind of banquet that this kind of boat is used to board the ship instead of waiting for guests after the cruise ship docks. The invitation in Miss Prince's hand allowed up to three people to travel together, and if Shade didn't show up tonight, she had planned to attend the auction by herself.

The boat cut through the waves silently and carried three people to the steam cruise ship moored in the middle of the port. They came in the dark, and when the boatman gave the signal, the small steam engine on the deck went into operation, lowering the load platform attached to the cable. After Shade and Miss Princes stood up, with the noise of the steam engine, the metal plate platform slowly rose until it was flush with the deck. Shade was still very gentleman, when he stepped over the gap between the two, he helped golden hair. Seems a little faded girl.

Behind you are the port with flickering gas lights, and in front of you is the calm sea night with three moons hanging in it. The deck was lit up everywhere, and the masked guests, like Shade and Miss Princes, stood together in groups of three or four watching the night view of the sea, or crowded around the table to play cards , As for the guests who came alone, most of them stood in front of the long table to choose food.

The violins and the thick horns sounded together, and to the music of the band in the corner of the deck, the masked men and women snuggled together and danced.

At first glance, there are nearly 50 people on the deck.

"It seems that the organizer of the auction is really amazing. Is it the high ring warlock from the new continent, or the local tyrant in Coldwater Harbor? Oh, Miss Prince, how many ring warlocks can there be here? ?"

The girl in the mask was arranging her skirt:
"Not including us, there are about ten or so, and the invitations are not sent casually, not only to have money, but also to be reliable. You Do you know that now the church likes to pretend to be an illegal ring warlock, send out various tasks in the black market, and then take the opportunity to catch those illegal guys?"

This kind of thing, in the hometown of foreigners, is called fishing law enforcement.

After finishing her dress, Miss Prince looked at Shade again, and helped him tidy up his tie:
"Let's go get something to eat first, the admission time is almost over, and the cruise will depart soon. .When we leave the coast, the auction will officially start. We can't get the inventory in advance, all the auction items can only be known when the auction starts."

"It doesn't matter, here is the probability of what I want. It's very small."

Shade said indifferently, he came here just to try one's luck, and by the way, it doesn't matter to him whether to buy something or not.

Shade and Miss Princes came here on time, and soon after they got on board, the moored cruise ship officially set sail, heading for the ocean, and is expected to return at midnight four hours later Cold water port.

The traveling ships make the firelight representing civilization weaker and weaker, and the dark and deep ocean seems to be about to devour the entire group. The dull whistle sounded around, and thick black smoke was dragged from the chimney to the stern with the night wind.

Away from the gathering area of civilization, the deep and ancient darkness made Shade inexplicably uncomfortable. Although this ship won't really go deep into the ocean, it's just a little far away from the cold water port, but for foreigners, being far away from the flames of civilization in such a world still makes him very worried.

"Miss Prince, can you swim?"

In order to avoid being accosted by boring people, the two are now standing by the deck fence and watching the night scene, with The masked Goldilocks shook the goblet in her hands, while Shade held nothing.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

Shade didn't say that he was a little worried about the ocean late at night:
"You said. Will this ship suddenly hit an iceberg?"

"Iceberg?"

Even though the mask only had holes to reveal the eyes, Shade could guess the surprise on the other person's face:
"Do I need to remind you that we Now it's the cold water port on the west coast of the north-central part of the old continent, not the extreme north of the continent. Also, it's summer. Icebergs? Why do you ask that?"

She chuckled, and Shade shook her head sadly. :
"Just a little worried, but speaking of icebergs, do you want to hear a story?"

Turning his head and looking towards the deck lit by candles and gas lights, now it's just an ordinary cruise ship mask At the banquet, men and women with different thoughts were chatting with each other, playing cards, watching the scenery, or dancing in a corner of the deck. The melodious sound of the violin made Shade feel a lot more relaxed, and the auction will be held in forty minutes:

"To pass the time, I thought of a love story about cruise ships, oceans, icebergs and jewelry."

"Okay."

Miss Prince nodded , slightly shaking the slender goblet filled with wine with two fingers, then lifted the mask and drank the wine.

The young girl suddenly gave Shade a playful smile, and then she threw the wine glass into the sea with a slight toss. He flipped his hair generously:
"I like listening to stories the most, but if the story is not interesting, you have to accompany me for a drink."

Looking towards Shade with a smile:
"Although you say you don't know how to drink, you should be fine with a drink."

"Sure, then I'm going to start. Isn't it ominous to tell the story of a shipwreck on a boat?"

Shade asked worriedly, but Miss Princes didn't care, and the voice blew into Shade's ears with the wind:
"If you don't tell a story, then I'll go straight to serving the wine glass, What would you like to drink? Sparkling wine? Oh, that's what the little child drinks."

"Sure, but I'm going to give the story a nice name and hit the iceberg? No, that's the point. Not polite either. Poor fellow and rich girl? No no, that doesn't work either. Shipwreck due to cheating? No, that doesn't work, the two things are not related."

Shade muttered to himself there. , he didn't want to say the name of the ship on the boat, that's the real ominous. Miss Prince looked at him with a smile, enjoying the moment very much:
"Does the jewelry you speak of have names?"

The female warlock asked softly, Shade denouncing:
" Heart of Ocean."
