Chapter 75 "Linyuan Collection" Part [-]
"How can there be ice!?"

The aberration slid across the side of the ship with a "swoosh" and fell toward the sea: "Ha! That's right! Stupid human, have you forgotten my tentacles!?"

"Oh!"

Salian Quaxor slammed into the sea water heavily, but several of its tentacles quickly threw out and grabbed towards the guardrails on both sides.

"Caught!"

"It's the feel of my tentacles grabbing at the side rail of the boat! It's too late to see, but I'm pretty sure I got it, just like cats love cardboard boxes!"

Salian Quaxor smashed into the sea, and at the same time, the two tentacles curled into a group of poisonous snakes and reptiles clung to the fences farther on both sides, saying strange metaphors and trying hard: "Wait for me, Human, I'll come up and eat you! I'll excrete you like shit."

"Your next sentence is: This kind of trick, this kind of trick is meaningless in the face of ultimate power!" As soon as the voice fell, Griffith raised his hand, and a frozen spear shot out. ,

"This kind of trick, this kind of trick is meaningless in the face of the ultimate power!" Quaxor shouted.

Hey, how did he know?
Salian Quaxor caught a glimpse of Griffith throwing an ice spear diagonally above and stabbing him in the head.

Immediately, a thought flashed through its rotting brain—dangerous, but as long as I deployed the Shield of Destruction it would be fine.

After a very short flight, Griffith's ice gun shot in front of the head of Salian Quaxor, who was about to emerge from the water, and a hot light flashed past.

At the same time, an earth-shattering explosion occurred.

The huge explosive energy caused by the instantaneous gasification of seawater caused by the extremely high temperature was released directly beside Salian Quakersor.

"boom!"

The explosion set off a sea of ​​water more than ten meters high, and the tentacle monsters that were blown into pieces were thrown into the sky together.The heavy seven-masted sailing ship was also pushed to the other side by the shock wave.

Griffith, who was hanging high on the side of the ship, was almost hit by a huge shock wave, and his face was drenched by the scalding sea water that fell from the sky.

He hung on the side of the ship and swayed, looking at the minced meat covered with the sea below and sighed:

"Water vapor explosion, please understand."

……

The breath of the worm-human aberrations dissipated into the tumbling waters.The sea changed from boiling to calm.Numerous small or slender pieces of flesh were strewn across the sea, and when Griffith looked with the Insight Crystal, he could see dense streaks of green, red, and black.

"Get down!" Minos' will suddenly appeared, "Quick!"

Griffith hurriedly jumped into the sea and immediately noticed that some nearby essentia was being absorbed by Minos.The fleshy wreckage that covered the sea rose and fell between the waves and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The remains of Salian Quaxor were swallowed by the sea in a blink of an eye.His intrigues, secrets and personal treasures and magical objects also sank into the dark seabed.

Unfortunately, only some essentia were collected.The Extraordinary characteristics are gone, and there should be a lot of good things in Salian Quaxor, and they are gone.His money and property are expected to be seized by the authorities, and some of the gold coins may become my bounty~ Griffith regrets the sinking trophies.

But this was also what he expected.Once the power of the runes was used to fight, Griffith could not leave witnesses behind.The special circumstances of Galadia and Sonia aside, they need to hide the situation where they can use magic spells as much as possible from others.

If you really can't hide it, you can explain it by holding a certain sealed item or holy artifact.However, if it is still difficult to explain the official investigation, the investigation may still detect his bone ring.

The operating mechanism and records of the runes provided by Minos could not be found in the Homonwarts library at all, which meant that the knowledge of runic powers, if not forbidden knowledge, was highly classified.

The more troublesome problem is that if Griffith is subject to strict investigation and questioning, he is not sure that he can hide the fact that he has been tainted by the corrupted bloodline Extraordinary characteristics.If things got to that point, if Griffith didn't want the rest of his life to be spent as an experiment, he had no choice but to run away, be a bounty hunter on a far frontier, or open a bar there for the rest of his life.

Griffith shook his head immediately, expelled the ominous thoughts, swam back to the side of the boat, grabbed the rope net hanging down from the side of the boat and climbed up, pulled out the iron nails and wood chips that had pierced into the flesh, and panted heavily. Get angry.

"Griffith!" Umber, who had broken free from the state of fear, ran over and supported the tattered apprentice knight, "Did you kill it? I can't feel Salian Quaxor's Breath, how did you do it?"

"Oh, it's just luck," the trainee knight took a breath slowly, watching the girl's reaction calmly, "It slipped and fell into the sea, detonating its own magic."

The violent and brief engagement between Griffith and the bug-mutant tore apart several compartments and a large swath of the Equinox's deck.However, within a few minutes of the battle, Quaxor fell into the sea and exploded.During this brief chaos, Amber, the crew, and the passengers, who were in a state of confusion and fear outside the heavy cabin barrier, could not have noticed Griffith's secret.

"I'm really... so useless," Amber reproached himself, biting his lip, "to be caught by that kind of thing..."

"It's nothing. It's common for different attributes to suppress each other. That's why we have to form a team to act. Did you see my delicate battle just now?"

Griffith was wounded on his forehead when he was shot, and blood was all over his face.He narrowed his bloody eyes slightly, paying attention to Amber's expression, and asked calmly.

"It's not now if you want to be handsome," Amber shook his head helplessly, and looked at Xi Knight's wounds with concern, "I'll take you to bandage first. Come back for a drink! I invite you!"

Ah, very good.Griffith didn't see any expression of concern and self-reproach from Amber's face, and he was a little relieved.

……

The ship doctor skillfully cleaned Griffith's wound, pulled out the broken pieces of wood and iron, and then carefully disinfected it.

"I suggest that you do another Lay on Land to prevent infection, although I don't think it's necessary with your self-healing ability," the ship doctor said while washing his hands, "I'll prescribe another medicine for you, once a day, It lasts for three days. If there are signs of infection, you must seek medical attention immediately.”

"Thank you, doctor." Griffith turned to look at himself in the mirror.The wounds all over the body have been closed.In the absence of functional trauma and bone dislocation, the healing abilities of a Power Beyonder can repair injuries and prevent infections and many diseases.Not to mention Griffith also has a powerful self-healing ability.

"No, thank you lad!" said the ship doctor cheerfully, "I have served at sea all my life and have seen wars and pirates, but this is the first time I have seen a monster so close to my eyes. It's like a dream, why let us Did you meet? You didn't expect it, did you?"

That's not true, I'm here for this, but I didn't expect the mission to be so much more dangerous than expected, this is definitely more than D-level!Griffith muttered inwardly and shrugged helplessly at the doctor.

"Okay, I'm going to treat the next patient," the doctor handed Griffith's coat over. "Have fun."

Have fun with what?Griffith walked out of the clinic while wearing his coat.

"Yo! Are you ready?" Amber stood by the hatch, looking at Griffith, who had not put on his shirt, and raised the corners of his mouth, "The lines are good!"

"Is there any good news and bad news?" Griffith buttoned slowly.

"There is no serious damage to the hull, and we will arrive at Neopolis Island as planned," Amber smiled as he watched Griffith button up his shirt, his eyes moved up from the strong abs, and stopped at the broad chest and rich On the three-dimensional shoulder blades, "When the sailors cleaned up the wreckage, they found that "Linyuan Ji" was floating on the sea, can you slow down?"

……

"Linyuan Collection" lay quietly on the table in the captain's room.

According to the salvaged sailor, the ancient scroll was wrapped in a dim light, as if it was waiting for someone to float on the sea full of debris.The pages were not stained with water.

This is the Sealed Artifact that Quaxor planned on this voyage.In order to compete for the scroll, the rich merchants of the west coast turned themselves into monsters, killing several passengers and sailors.

Judging by Quaxor's ability to devour the crew and the serpent crawler coiled around his hands, he was already an aberration before he got this copy of The Abyss from Senator Milovan Neville.But when fighting Griffith, Quaxor's appearance showed marked decay and swelling, like a corpse.

Aberrations and corpses are two very different states, probably caused by different reasons.

That is to say-

Perhaps through this ancient scroll, the bearer will master a powerful flame magic shield that can blow himself up, or he may turn himself into a corpse-like monster.

After realizing this, Griffith's eyes towards "Linyuan Ji" were a little fearful.

At this time, the captain of the Spring Equinox, Mr. Ange, reached out and stroked the cover of the ancient scroll: "This thing is invulnerable to water and fire, it's amazing!"

"careful!"

"do not!"

Griffith and Amber jumped together.

"What? What's wrong?" Captain Ange looked at the two of them suspiciously. "Don't be nervous, nothing happened when the boys picked up this ancient scroll."

"Don't be careless, Mr. Captain," Amber shook his head. "The threat of sealed objects is not limited to the naked eye. I recommend that you and the crew who come into contact with this scroll do a dark magic test upon arrival at the port."

It's not a suggestion, it's a compulsion... Griffith made a note to the captain in his heart, and he would notify the Defense Against the Dark Arts to take action when he arrived at the port.

"We need to physically isolate it first," added Griffith. "Please get a sturdy box, Mr. Captain, and we're going to lock it, and Amber and I will take turns guarding it until we reach Neopolis. The island is taken over by the garrison mage there."

"Okay, okay!" Captain Anger found an empty box and locked the ancient scroll in it.
