A dragon who doesn't want to be a killer is not a good businessman

At this time, the sky was already bright.

The sun shines on the surface of the deck, but the deck is covered with mildew and dust. There are some broken and broken wooden fragments scattered on the ground, the edges are loose and slag, and it is extremely old.

Looking up, there are only rags left in the sail, and the mast is full of cracks, and even one is broken, and the marks are deep enough to show the bones.

Looking at the distance, there are still traces of fire burning on the bow of the ship, and the black marks are shocking.

Perhaps due to the erosion of time, or the scratching of other objects, part of the hull that had turned into charcoal fell off on the ground, turning into darker pieces.

But in any case, this was obviously not the black cargo ship they had seen on the shore before.

--Now, it's not even all black.

If it weren't for the fact that the Blue Eagle pirate group he encountered kept saying that they came down from the deck, Morgan would have doubted whether His Majesty the King had taken the wrong path from the beginning and teleported the three people to another broken ship.

on board.

Because of this anomaly, Al looked around a few more times, but didn't linger too long. He quickly found the Blue Eagle Pirates' boat in the direction he had confirmed before.

The boat is not big, and its exterior decoration is simple and plain. Two oil lamps are hung on the top to illuminate the surrounding environment. The structure looks like a small house.

Melissa was standing on the bow of the boat, followed by Connor and Will.

Captain Blue Eagle put one leg on the bow of the ship, put his palm on his forehead to block the sun, and looked at the changes in the ship not far away. He noticed three people emerging from above and waved.

The cargo ship and the boat are connected to each other with a strange-shaped rope that is as shiny as steel. The rope has a precise structure and is divided into segments with thin triangular strips, which are combined to form a soft and tough iron rope that can tie up large and small ships for short-term sailing together.

Because the condition of the cargo ship had changed, Al first tested the tightness of the hook on the cargo ship. After confirming that it was stable, he guided the two of them how to slide down the iron rope.

After seeing the two people get off the boat, Al did not hesitate and jumped into the sea with the bent hook he had taken.

Not to mention, the action is quite standard.

——Don’t jump onto the boat, maybe just to avoid the excessive impact force causing the boat to sway left and right.

Everyone stood on the boat, and the pirate captain also had time to explain his fate.

"Everyone on the boat was thrown here. When we first got off, the boat was still black and shiny." Melissa smacked her lips, "It's the changes that happened when you were in the boat. Having said that,

What on earth did you do?"

Mo Gan spread his hands and said, "Except for what we said before, we did nothing to the cargo ship."

I checked the situation more, checked if I could take the valuables with me, and chatted for a while.

"The structure of the ship has not changed." Al confirmed. In addition to the time spent taking care of the children and looking for people, he should be the person who travels up and down the cabin the most. "It's just that the overall decoration has become outdated, as if...it has gone through a period of time?"

Al Atnos, who is also a shipwright, should be the person who has seen the most old ships here.

"Time magic." Lucifer didn't sell anything and directly gave a firm conclusion, "The final goal of the gradual change is the true appearance of this cargo ship."

Before the initial spell was cast, the cargo ship itself had already experienced the erosion of time, and might even be a pile of scrap.

As a component of time and space magic, the function of time magic seems to be the same as that of restoration, but in fact it is not.

In addition to being able to overcome the limitations of restoration magic material repair, time magic is equivalent to truly manipulating the "time dimension" of an object, and can forcefully reverse its material state and all states to a certain node.

Because of the existence of space-time ore and the intervention of external spellcasters, the cargo ship miraculously returned to its original appearance.

However, the effectiveness of this magic is not permanent, and it also requires continuous support of magic power.

——Maybe because the materials are not amazing, this kind of magic is not as terrible as the consumption of space magic, but it still requires at least basic strength.

Therefore, if the energy that maintains space magic is removed, the time magic hidden in it will also lose its effect.

After the magical power that can be absorbed around it becomes thin, the cargo ship truly loses all the power given by the time and space ore, and becomes what it should be at this point in time.

The changes in time and space will eventually return to the starting point.

After Lucifer finished explaining everything, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the once solid and majestic cargo ship gradually collapsed.

First, all the masts were completely broken, and the corners of the sails disappeared without a trace. Then the entire hull and keel were broken off. A large hole opened in the cargo ship, revealing one and a half floors of the cabin, and the lower half was submerged in the sea water.

While the time magic is taking effect, the material properties of the ship itself are also changing, and it can no longer bear its own weight, and will naturally be overwhelmed after aging.

"Judging from a shipwright's perspective, what conclusion do you have?" Melissa stepped forward and patted Al on the shoulder.

"I've seen a lot of ships like this." Al's expression was unremarkable. "It's hopeless. It's recommended to burn it - if there are no particularly precious materials, there is no recycling value at all."

Will murmured to himself, "Does this mean that everything that was once on the ship will rot like this?"

He took out a well-preserved piece of paper from his arms and held it in his hand.

The pages are yellowed and wrinkled at the edges.

Morgan recognized at a glance that the piece of paper that Will carried in the book was exactly the strange page that had been pasted on the corridor of the cabin before anyone could recognize the text.

It seems that this is the reward besides finding the captain's cabin hidden in the cargo ship.

I have to say that Will was still very savvy enough to realize that this piece of paper might be useful and save it in advance.

However, this piece of paper, like the cargo ship slowly returning to its destination, is inevitably aging.

"...Why are you still carrying this book?" Kangna glanced at it, "I thought you had left it all at home."

Their home naturally refers to the home that was burned down in Nova City.

Will was a little embarrassed when talking about this topic.

"Actually, when you made the plan to steal the sword, I thought it would be impossible to succeed. You might even have to be sent to solitary confinement by your father... so I took it with me to avoid boredom."

Will, who himself shrank a little when he heard this topic, didn't notice that his sister Kangna's back stiffened, she stopped speaking, and even turned her head away as if nothing had happened.

And Mogan stepped forward directly.

"Let me take a look at this piece of paper?"

"It's going to disappear anyway..."

Will was listless, feeling that he had managed to save something from the ship, but had not put it to use, and felt so weak that he gave the whole piece of paper to Morgan.

After getting the yellowed and disappearing paper, Morgan made a small movement, turned his back, and passed the thing to Lucifer with a "swish".

——His Majesty the King is obviously very interested in areas of study that he has no knowledge of. He can also use time magic and may be the only person who can preserve such a clue.

Although Mogan briefly wrote down some text content during his time in the corridor, it was impossible to write down everything.

It is wise to find a way to keep paper documents.

Under the sunlight, there are only some trivial wooden boards or broken poles floating on the surface of the sea water, floating back and forth, left and right with the waves, and occasionally being swept into more distant directions.

Looking at the main body of the ship sinking into the deep sea, Mo Gan was secretly making calculations in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, still looking like he was aloof from the incident.

Using the current surrounding field of vision as a benchmark, he noted down the approximate location of the sunken ship.

"It's so bright now, I don't know how Boss Fleming is doing." Will muttered softly.

"Fleming? Kalman Fleming?"

Melissa on the side looked strange.

From this expression, Mo Gan also realized that the sheep-headed orcs who boarded the pirate ship at night must have asked for the captain's permission before getting off the ship to find the local snakes of the same race.

Mainly in retrospect, after all, it was only at this moment that Captain Blue Eagle, who had just arrived in Port St. Ron, could know the name Kalman Fleming.

The timing was right, and he could just ask about some previous incidents related to the Blue Eagle Pirates.

At this moment, in the cabin of the boat, with the door tightly closed and a separate place that could be sheltered from the wind and rain, the door was suddenly violently kicked open with a "dang" sound.

Hearing the strange noise, everyone turned their attention to the cabin.

Austin strode out with a sulky face, looked around, and glared at almost everyone present.

"Hurry up and look at your fellow racers! They won't say anything - humans are indeed some insidious and cunning things!"

To be honest, after not seeing this mermaid for so long, Mo Gan thought he was going to take advantage of his racial expertise, maybe he just jumped into the sea and did something.

Unexpectedly, he had been resting in the cabin.

He took the opportunity to peek inside the cabin. In addition to the simple and simple furnishings, several unfamiliar crew members in plain clothes stared outside with wide eyes, which made Mo Gan couldn't help but close the door as quickly as possible.

It's also weirdly infiltrative.

These were the same people on the cargo ship who were first knocked down by Melissa and then captured by the Blue Eagle Pirates. They were tied up by Wuhua Da Da. Now they are indeed awake.

Putting Austin in charge of looking after people made the symptoms of this irascible mermaid, who was already very unhappy with the human race, even worse.

"...They were stumbling and didn't dare to say anything! I shouldn't have helped them tear off the tape on their mouths."

Austin was so angry that he almost broke out and scolded the eighteen generations of ancestors of those rice dumplings.

"Anger hurts the body." Melissa was very worried that the "perfect assistant" she had finally found would make her mad. "We can discuss this matter in the long term."

Al said nothing, but acted very quickly. He walked into the cabin, turned around and came out. He directly picked up two of the four cargo ship crew members in each hand and carried them to the outer deck of the ship.

——It’s really like carrying rice dumplings.

Seeing Austin, the three sober ones among the four unconsciously moved their buttocks in the opposite direction, and were dragged back by Al who placed him outside the gap between the deck boards.

"Then have you told them..." Mo Gan thought about it for a moment, "What exactly do we want to know?"
