Release that Witch - Chapter 1298

[Chapter 1264]

…

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…Mr. Sander Asuka has returned from the Whirlpool Sea! And…they seem to be in big trouble!”

Roland paused slightly for the sudden report from the personal guard.

After the meeting on expanding the industrial scale, he returned to the office, intending to continue to improve the drawings to be used next, but this unexpected news completely interrupted his thinking.

The so-called Sander Bird is Lei Ting’s pseudonym.

“Where is he now?” Roland suddenly stood up and asked.

“It’s in the castle hall, and he said he hoped to see you right away.”

“Bring him in quickly!” He ordered, “Let the kitchen prepare an extra afternoon tea.”

“Yes, I’ll do it right away.” Sean turned around and quickly disappeared through the door.

Nightingale asked worriedly, “Should I inform Lightning?”

Roland shook his head, “Since he can come to the castle, he shouldn’t have encountered any serious problems, so we should first ask about the situation.”

Calculated according to the date, Thunder has only been out to sea for half a year A little more, counting the journey back and forth at sea for only three months, and considering that they also stayed in the Shadow Islands for a while, the time spent on the road was even shorter.

This is far lower than the explorer’s original plan—according to the other party’s vision, the voyage will take at least a year to a year and a half. If possible, Lei Ting even wants to see what is at the end of the whirlpool sea. Whether the continent you see is in the depths of the sea.

Obviously, some unforeseen accident happened, which made this long-planned expedition come to an end halfway.

Roland couldn’t help looking out the window.

Could it be… also related to Hongyue?

Lei Ting, whose alias was Sander, quickly walked into the office under the leadership of his personal guards. It could be seen that he was really embarrassed when he came back this time. He didn’t even have time to put on the camouflage beard, and the exaggerated feather decoration was even more so. There are not many left, if they are seen by Lightning now, nine out of ten they will recognize it.

But at least, his whole body is still intact, and for Roland, this is enough.

“Your Majesty, I’m very glad to see you again—” Lei Ting bowed and touched his chest, “I almost thought that I would never come back.”

Roland poured him a glass of cold and delicious Chaos Drink with his own hands, “What happened? What? Since you have assembled the most outstanding sailors in the fjord islands, I don’t think ordinary storms or tsunamis will make you say this.”

“Storms and tsunamis have omens, but thousands of sea There will be no ghosts,” Lei Ting seemed to be still terrified at the moment, “What’s more, we encountered not only sea ghosts, but also monsters more terrifying than that…”

Listening to the other party’s narration, Roland seemed to feel their despair at that time, Countless sea ghosts swarmed towards the fleet, their churning backs seemed to make the sea boil, and the slow sailing ships would be mercilessly dragged into hell.

And among the sea ghosts there are also terrifying ships of flesh and blood, the acid they spew can fall several kilometers away, as long as it sticks to it, the skin will be torn apart, and steel and wood can’t resist this kind of corrosion.

Even with full sail and full speed, the expedition team couldn’t widen the distance between the two sides…

“Sky Sea Realm…” His face sank like water.

“Your Majesty, what is that?” Lei Ting asked.

“The devil’s name for another civilization,” Roland slowly told the other side the information that the devil was fighting on two fronts.

The rib-like vault, the hull made of flesh and internal organs, can float on the water like a sea ship, and can also dive into the sea. These features are almost the same as the scenes he saw in the god’s relics.

“You mean, we broke into their territory?”

“Maybe so. Of course, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that the red moon’s presence made them more active, thus expanding the scope of inspection.” Roland changed the subject, “After that How did the expedition fleet get out of danger?”

“Actually, it’s not that we threw off their pursuit, but that they themselves had civil strife.” Thunder said with a wry smile.

“Internal chaos?”

“It’s true. The enemy’s pursuit is day and night, as if they never know how to get tired. By the time we approach the sea line, we have lost more than half of the ships. Most of the sailors who are still alive are also close to collapse because they can’t rest for a long time. Only the Yukikaze you made still has power—after all, she doesn’t need to adjust its sails and course at any time.”

“Just when everyone was about to despair, a larger sea monster suddenly rushed out of the water and entangled One of the sea monsters looked like two flesh and blood monsters biting each other. Although they were both monsters, the former was obviously stronger, and the appendages and tentacles protruding from the body quickly tore the latter to pieces. After that, no matter whether it was the sea ghost or other sea monsters, they stopped chasing and surrounded them as if they were stunned, so we took the opportunity to cross the sea line and escape back to the Fiordland Islands.

” No matter, Roland let out a long sigh, “Fortunately, luck is on your side. It seems that the name of the ship is not in vain.”

“Uh… the name of the ship?”

“No, it’s nothing,” he waved his hand. What’s the plan?”

Lei Ting’s face showed unprecedented fatigue, “To be honest, the loss of the ship is second to none. This expedition has scared most people out of their wits. Now there is a strange feeling in the fjord. Those sailors who have worked hard at sea for a lifetime now turn blue when they look to the east of the sea. I guess that for a long time, no one will dare to board a ship to the Shadow Sea.”

Roland remained silent.

This is not surprising, as the other party said, storms and tsunamis can be predicted in advance, and brave navigators can always find a way to dance with them, but this experience of having no resistance and only desperate escape , can no longer be called an adventure at all.

“Those big chambers of commerce even asked me to bring you a message, hoping to buy a piece of land in Graycastle at a high price as their preliminary refuge.” Lei Ting sighed, “After all, no one knows whether they will still There will be a comeback—the sea has always been a natural danger in the eyes of Fjord people, but if the enemy can come and go freely in the sea, the entire Fjord Island is equivalent to an undefended empty city.”

It’s really not as fast as changing the plan. A year or two ago, he planned to use the fjord as the last stronghold for the survivors to spend the rest of their lives after the defeat, but now the situation is completely reversed.

If he had just arrived in Border Town and owned less than 300 gold dragons, this kind of transaction would have been absolutely desirable, but now that banknotes have begun to circulate in the territory, the so-called “high price” is no longer an attractive option. conditions of.

“What do you think?”

“I said that if it’s the idea of building a kingdom within a kingdom, it’s better to give up as soon as possible.” Lei Ting shrugged, “You will never allow them to build a new ‘island’ in Graycastle.”

Roland laughed, as expected of the most outstanding explorer in the fjords, “If you just want to live, and not for the privileges accumulated for generations, Graycastle will always welcome them. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

“I will tell the truth Yes

, Your Majesty.”

“You must be exhausted from this voyage, I have prepared afternoon tea, you can take a hot bath first, and then talk to me about what you have seen and heard on the trip. Restoring the Yukikaze will also take a lot of effort. In a few days, when you recover your energy, it will not be too late to return to the fjord.”

“Then I will trouble you.” Lei Ting said, rubbing his chest.

Just as he was about to leave, Roland suddenly stopped him, “By the way, about the lightning… are you still planning to keep it a secret?”

“I…” Lei Ting opened his mouth and was dumbfounded for a moment.

“You said that you would get to know her after this expedition is over. Although this trip was not very successful, but today’s sea boundary has occupied more than half of the ocean, and the fjords are panic-stricken. You must be safe for a long time. It’s time to find out.” Roland propped his chin and said, “And I need manpower to fight the devil, and Lightning also hopes to see his father still alive in this world—in this case, how about staying after the trivial matters are over?”

Lei Ting After a few seconds of silence, he lowered his head, “I will think about it… Your Majesty.”
