Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 18: Premature travel

? In the next morning, nothing seemed to happen on the Cursed Lady except for a damaged deck. After losing several companions, the mysterious lizards retreated wisely. They are not blood-eating strange monsters, just beasts looking for prey. And the beasts will consider their own gains and losses, less food, great effort, which does not meet their survival principles. However, the idea that sailors on ships are easy to prey may not change because of this frustration in hunting. In the final analysis, for the lizards or the Losa group, the life and death contest last night was only a part of life.

The heat from the sun scorches the sea and makes people on the deck feel more pain. Last night, I didn't get enough rest, but in order to get out of this sea area as soon as possible, they must seize the time during the day. Lothar wore his coat and hid his head in the shadows. He squatted on the deck, with a piece of dry and shrivelled pale skin, the loot that he got from the lizard that attacked last night.

"It seems that even if this thing is still effective, it can't be used as a raw material for making clothes." The count said, shaking the lizard skin in his hand. The latter shattered into different sizes in his stunned eyes. With the sea breeze blowing. Lothar instinctively wanted to reach out and grab these pieces, but in the end he found nothing. He stood up angrily, and opened his hands to shout to the networm hiding in the shadow of the mast, "I hate everything that can only be done at night!"

The maid smiled a little, and she didn't hate Lothar's sometimes childlike behavior. Those who are always serious enough to suffocate will never find someone to like. However, in fact, even without considering the characteristics of these leathers that cannot be exposed to sunlight, it is probably not enough for the few lizards killed last night to do something. Besides, after the previous battle with the skinners, she always felt resistant to putting animal leather on herself. Therefore, the last place for those lizard corpses can only be used as food for the big spider.

The Earl, who was doing nothing, walked aimlessly on the deck. He saw the breach that was damaged in the battle, from which he could also see the cobweb and the blood stains too late to clean up. "Why not fix this thing? Isn't it easy for you?"

"You have to ask Pegg, she is the one holding the steering wheel now. I can't fix this hole under her control." Qi Li, who was lazy in the hammock, waved. That's right, she really moved the hammock out of the cabin and hung it between the two masts. It seems that he lost interest in the sport of dolphin riding, or just like the rest of the people because of last night's turbulence and lack of sleep. The witch is surprisingly quiet today, which is undoubtedly a good thing for others on the boat.

"I am absolutely, and I will never give you control of the ship! I've had enough on the way to get around the vortex! I don't want to be chased by angry whales anymore!" Standing on the terrace Pegg swore loudly when he heard the words of his companions. It is not difficult to deduce from her words that Qi Li once had control of the Cursed Lady, but it was obviously a disaster.

"I said it was the whale who ran into it myself! I fired the ballista for self-defense!" Qi Li protested, but the words didn't sound convincing.

But Lothar still keenly grasped the key points in the witch ’s words, "Is there a ballista in this ship?" He knew that this large projectile weapon was a nightmare on the battlefield. In the story told by the blood lion, there are also Many times mentioned something similar to it.

However, Cangshi, who pays attention to the knight's personal ability, has always resisted this kind of power driven by the machine. For the warriors of the kingdom, if the crossbow can safely kill the opponent from a distance, will the hard-trained soldiers not lose The meaning of existence? Of course, this is only for the knights and soldiers. As the commander of the bear hunter, Lothar is very clear about the role this weapon can play on the battlefield. However, due to the recoil of the ballista, he had never thought that such a thing could actually be installed on a ship. Does that mean that ships equipped with ballistas can launch an undefensible terrorist attack from the sea on the coastal cities? The idea disturbed the count.

"Of course!" Qi Li heard Lotha's tone and became interested suddenly. She jumped from the hammock and walked towards the position of the bow. "Every big sailboat produced by heartbreak will be equipped with a ballista! This It ’s our patent. It ’s just that they have been shrunk a bit compared to the land-based version, and their power is also the same. But it is still very useful to penetrate the hull of other ships and intimidate large sea monsters! I need to launch Will you show it once? "

"Hey!" Although the count really wanted to see how powerful the ship's ballista in the witch's mouth was, the light drink from Peg dispelled his thoughts. This is not the time to do this kind of thing. But to install the ballista on the battleship? This is really a good idea. Maybe he can buy such a boat from Frustration Bay and give it to the Kingdom for research, but is it enough to carry the amount of money? Well, I'm afraid it won't work. A ship that is reliable in the sea will know that it will be a fortune.

Just as Lothar thought, the sky slowly dimmed. "What's the matter, it's getting dark so soon?" The count mumbled and raised his head, seeing a large cloud covering the sky ahead. But that didn't seem to be rain clouds, but more like a simple condensation of too much fog.

"It's not right. The foggy sea should take two more days to arrive." Peg said incredulously. She frowned and opened the chart, repeatedly determining the position of the ship based on the compass and other instruments. But no matter how unwilling to admit it, the thick fog in front of her was gradually approaching towards the Cursed Lady, and the misty sea in the witch's mouth was close at hand.

"Gay, quack!" Some screaming black creatures flew back and forth in the dense fog. Their voices were somewhat similar to crows, but there was a slight difference. Lothar doubted why flying birds were seen in such a distant sea, but instead of wondering why they appeared here, the earl took his weapons for granted ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ was ready to fight. "What are those?"

"Mist Crow, a unique creature in the misty sea." The frivolous expression on Qi Li's face disappeared when she answered, and the fearless witch became rare and serious, staring at the dark clouds in front and the dark black figure . "Some people say that they are undead after the death of the sailor trapped in the misty sea, and they will take people to the shipwreck. Some people say that they are some kind of small demons. . "

"But no matter what, no one can stop the ship of the frustrated witch. This sea area is our territory. Everything has to make way!" Qi Li said, walking to the deck of the bow, her clothes hunting in the sea breeze Ringing. She glanced back at Pegg, who was hesitant, but nodded. So the witch with bright eyes took a deep breath and sang a song written in a non-human language. Just like the legendary singing of the sea monster used to lure sailors.

"What is she singing?" The female maid walking to Pegg asked curiously.

"She is calling our allies, the banshee of the misty sea and the witch group have concluded a covenant, and they will take us away from this sea." The little witch replied, but the expression on her face was not so determined. If it ’s really misty sea ahead. ”
