Diablo Destruction

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Masif received a notice that since the goods were shipped faster than expected, the ship would officially set sail early tomorrow morning.

It was an extremely refreshing morning, with a clear sky and thousands of miles of dark clouds. The salty sea breeze blew gently, causing naughty waves to hit the beach. Looking from a distance, the calm sea was like a mirror, blue and flawless. , experienced sailors assert that this kind of cheerful weather is an excellent time to go to sea. If you are lucky, you can sail with the wind and enjoy the gentleness of the sea for a week. As for what will happen a week later, only God knows, the sea is always It is changeable. When it is gentle, it is like a mother, but when it is cruel, it is more ferocious than a devil.

"Hey yo hey, hey yo hey..."

Over at the pier, shirtless, sturdy sailors were shouting and carrying wooden boxes one by one on the deck. They had smiles on their faces and their mood was as cheerful as the weather at the moment. For a person For sailors who have been wandering on the sea for many years, nothing is more important than encountering good weather.

The entire pier was in full swing. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the good weather these days to go sailing, so they worked very hard. The noisy, chaotic, sweaty scene could be seen from a few kilometers away. Feel it.

However, on the beach not far away, there was someone whose mood was completely opposite to the weather at this time.

"Hurricane, storm, whatever, come on, it can last for ten days and a half for a whole year. Isn't this normal for you?" I squatted on the beach weakly, staring at the calm sea from a distance. And the clear sky, I wish that dark clouds would immediately cover the sky, and huge waves would instantly roar on the coast.

"Stop talking nonsense."

The little ghost pressed her plump breasts against my back and kept touching my face with her fingers in an interesting way. I've been mad for a long time, but I'm really not in the mood now.

"Hey, I really envy jellyfish. They can float in the water without any worries." I squinted my eyes.

"You still envy Baiyun, right?"

"Huh? How do you know?" Damn, you can guess it like this. Could it be that this little guy specializes in prophecy?

"Because your mind is simpler than a jellyfish, and your personality is more undisciplined than Baiyun..." The little ghost brought his head up, bit my ear, and said a conclusion that I couldn't refute.

"Master Fan. The cargo has been loaded and ready to go at any time." From a distance, Masif waved to me enthusiastically, but in my eyes, it was like the god of death waving a sickle with a ferocious smile.

"If we choose the land route now and bypass the entire Twin Seas to reach Kurast, it's still too late." I said to myself.

"But let's not talk about the distance. The forest is no safer than the sea for you, isn't it?" The little ghost instantly broke the trace of luck I had just raised. Yes, I am a road idiot and I really feel sorry for everyone.

"My lord, will you take the boat first?"

He asked with a smile as he followed Masif onto the deck.

"Um...well, yes."

I focused all my attention on my feet and moved cautiously. It was as if the deck below was a maze of traps, one wrong step and the whole thing would explode.

"For those who are taking a boat for the first time, it may be a little uneasy. Don't worry. As long as you treat it calmly, the sea will never be as scary as you imagine. Soon you will see its beauty. Every place, whether it is the gentle sea or the roaring sea, is so fascinating..."

Masif said with an intoxicated expression that a person who does not like the sea cannot truly defeat the sea.

Yeah? Turns out I'm not alone. All people who board a boat for the first time will be like this, haha, so that’s it. I breathed a sigh of relief, and my two stiff thighs could finally show their true self at this moment - they started to tremble.

"However, an adventurer like you who has experienced hundreds of battles is naturally not as courageous as those civilians. How can he be afraid of just a long voyage?" After a pause. Masif, who was leading the way, gave the horse a small pat. But he had no idea that he had hit the muzzle of a gun.

"Then...of course, we have seen too many mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Haha, ahaha..."

Your feet suddenly stiffened, and you started to walk like a robot again. You old bastard, why don't you speak clearly for once? I almost made a fool of myself, or I'll burn your boat.

"Okay, sir, this is your room. Are you satisfied?" Entering the first floor of the ship from a private entrance, Masif opened the door of the first room and made an exaggerated invitation gesture.

"Yes, please excuse me."

I looked inside and saw that it was quite refreshing. There was even a wooden window that could be opened.

"Is this your pet, sir?" Masif said, pointing to the dead dog that followed.

"Uh..., yes, pets are not allowed on board?"

I covered my forehead and said with a headache. It's not that I wanted to bring it with me, but for some reason, as soon as I got far away from the dead dog's place, it would automatically teleport to me. Damn it, would I be like this for the rest of my life? To be stuck with this dead dog? Maybe we should just make it into dog meat soup and eat it.

"No, it doesn't matter. It's just that adults should be careful. You know, the sailors on the ship are rough people. If they get caught, then..." Masif hesitated, but his meaning was clear. But if you get caught by them, just wait to recover the dog bones.

"Okay, I understand. I won't let it escape outside. Oh, by the way, there are several rooms next to me. Are there any people living in them?"

"No, sir, these rooms are specially prepared for adventurers like you, but this time there is only one adventurer, so the others are empty."

I nodded. It turns out that this is the so-called VIP room. I just passed by and saw another entrance. From time to time, sailors came in and out of it. That was probably where they lived. It is said that the environment of sailors' rooms is extremely poor, and Humid, dark and stuffy.

Masif had something else to do. After briefly talking about the layout of the entire ship, he left quickly. I walked around the room a few times and felt a little accustomed to it. I couldn't help but walked out and came to the ship. At this time, the sailors were reefing the anchor and raising the sails, preparing to set sail. I stood on the bow of the ship and opened my arms. arm. The sea breeze blew over me. Facing the vast sea surface, I just wanted to shout loudly.

Ha, actually the sea is not as scary as imagined, especially for a strong adventurer like me.

A few hours later…

"vomit……"

Lying facelessly on the bed, I was like a dehydrated sea fish, constantly flapping its gills, feeling that my internal organs were churning with the gentle shaking of the room. Something seemed to be flowing out of my stomach, and it was stuck in my throat, but I couldn't spit it out. I could only retching.

"Love...Alice, I...I'm about to die. You...have to take good care of yourself in the future..."

I weakly stretched out my hand to the little ghost next to me. It's like a dying person lying in a critical ward with his last words.

"Didn't you say you've adapted? It's not such an exaggeration, right?" He put a cold wet cloth on my forehead, and the little ghost's silver eyes were full of trouble.

"How can a guy like you, who floats in the air all day long, understand the horror of land?" I sat up from the bed.

"That's right, just like people who have never been on the battlefield. In the end, they can only play with pistols. People who have not experienced interstellar war can only play airplanes for the rest of their lives."

"Although I don't know what a pistol and a plane are, you seem to be in good spirits, so I feel at ease." The little ghost yawned and slipped into the necklace with a squeaking sound.

Wait...wait, I'm really going to die, it's true. It was just a flashback, don't leave me alone! ! With a painful groan, I fell back on the bed, moved my eyes, and landed on the dead dog.

This guy was even more exaggerated, with four short furry legs spread out, his belly pressed to the ground, and he kept breathing out. He looked like he was alive and dead. It looked like it died a few seconds before me.

Shame, what a shame. At this time, Leona was also feeling depressed. She, a majestic princess of the Dragon Clan, was actually seasick. If she told this, how could the whole Dragon Clan lose face? No, that's not the case. As the most noble princess of the Dragon Clan, how could this happen? This matter, according to the classics of the blue dragon (a dragon species that dominates by virtue of its unmatched air speed advantage), the land is the natural enemy of the dragon. It is indeed true. It is not because this princess is weak. It is absolutely impossible. so……

"Haha, damn dog, look at how you look now, weren't you very impressive before?"

Seeing the dead dog's posture, my heart suddenly became much more balanced, and even my strength seemed to have recovered a bit. I couldn't help but grab its pair of rabbit-like ears and shake them in the air. Look at how good I am to you, master. You know You are seasick, I brought you up specially, thank me quickly, and say please stew me into a dog meat pot and ask the master for you.

"Ga...ga oh——"

Leona felt like the earth was shaking, and her internal organs that had been struggling seemed to be turned upside down. Her stomach was churning violently. Anger arose in her heart, her eyes flashed with golden light, and her front paws covered her with lightning speed. The speed of the ear was inserted into someone's throat, and he dug hard.

"vomit--"

One person and one dog fell down again, and they felt that after just a period of tossing, the churning and nauseating feeling seemed to have increased ten times.

“Today…, vomit—, temporarily… a temporary truce…, vomit—”

"Gah...gaah~~"

So humans and dogs reached an agreement, and peace finally returned to the Dark Continent...

After a few days, I finally got used to it and was able to jump around on the deck of the ship. The dead dog seemed not to be outdone and came to life. He ran to the bow of the ship and barked at the sea as if to demonstrate. A wave came over and almost swept it into the sea. This dead dog was a bit tougher than me, so it became a regular course for it to bark at the sea more than twenty times a day.

Just as the experienced sailors said, more than a week after leaving Lugaoyin, the weather was still sunny and windy, and it was rare to see even a white cloud. Estimating this situation, they once again speculated that the cloudless weather would continue. Lasting for at least five days, it was like being thrown to a leopard continuously. It's rare to see it once a year.

And after five days, even if there was a violent storm, it didn't matter, because by then we had reached the first stop on the route, Cordovis Island.

Speaking of Cordovis Island, the sailors seemed very excited. Many of them were born there, not just them. Even a large part of the sailors on ships traveling between Lugoine and Kurast come from Cordovis Island, so Cordovis Island is also called the home of sailors by many people.

The ale there is the best in the world, the seafood there is the most delicious in the world, and the people there are the most enthusiastic in the world. The sailors introduced me to me with saliva, as if Cordovis Island is the only island in the world. The real paradise is average, but let’s analyze it objectively. There are relatively few monsters there, so it is indeed a pretty good place to settle.

However, what really makes Cordovis Island famous is not its reputation as a sailor’s home, nor is it a paradise. It is about the legend of the mermaid that is widely spread on Cordovis Island. No less than a thousand people have claimed to have witnessed the appearance of mermaids on Cordovis Island, many of them are outsiders. This puts an end to the rumor that the residents of the island are using it to improve science and technology. spread by the popularity of Dovis Island. There are indeed mermaids there.

As for why people pay so much attention to mermaids, on the one hand, of course, they are beautiful women. This is an undoubted fact, otherwise they would not be called mermaids, but anyone who wants to get a mermaid. I don’t think anyone goes there for their beauty. This is somewhat different from fairy tales, and the purpose is more towards the cruel reality - according to legend, one can live forever by drinking the blood of a mermaid.

Immortality is a lie. Even angels and demons have life spans. How can the blood of a mere mermaid make people immortal? However, although it cannot make people immortal, it can cure all diseases. It is true that it can prolong life. This is enough to drive people crazy, and even some adventurers cannot resist its temptation - of course. They are nothing more than hopeless adventurers.

"So, has anyone ever obtained the blood of a mermaid?"

"I don't know." Masif shook his head.

"If you haven't obtained it, you won't be able to tell the truth, and if you obtained the mermaid's blood, you will definitely not make it known to the world."

"Oh." I nodded. After all, Huai Bi was guilty.

Four days later, we finally saw the outline of Cordovis Island from a distance, a small island covering dozens of square kilometers. There are about 30,000 islanders living on it, as well as a large number of outsiders. Of course, most of them are They went for the legend of the mermaid. As long as they got a drop of mermaid blood, they could live on piles of gold coins for the rest of their lives. The huge profits attracted gold diggers one after another, making the entire Cordovis Island People and snakes are mixed together, and the peace of the past is no longer the same.

The boat will stop here for about three or four days, which gives me enough time to visit the entire island, and even try my luck to see if I can see what the legendary mermaid looks like.

Masif smiled and told me: If you are my lord, you might be able to meet the legendary king of the mermaid tribe, the golden mermaid. That is the noblest and most beautiful existence. Of course, the most important thing is that her blood is The most precious of all mermaids.

Looking at the crowds of gold diggers, I shook my head and immediately lost interest - even if there were really mermaids, they would have been scared away by these people long ago.

I didn't stay in a hotel in the market. It was too messy. The whole bar smelled of sweat and fish. Coupled with the lack of ventilation, it felt like a kipper can.

Under the guidance of a sailor named Jak, I came to a relatively remote forest and stayed in the home of an old woodcutter. The old woodcutter thought I was a gold digger and refused to let me live. It wasn't until Jak heard the news and rushed over to explain that the old woodcutter showed fear - in the eyes of the civilians in these small places, adventurers are beings who can crush them to death with one finger, and there is no one to kill them. Dare to take care.

"Sir, please go inside, please come inside."

This old woodcutter seemed to be afraid that he would kill his whole family if I was unhappy, so he quickly packed up the best room and prepared the best meals for me. When he looked back, he saw, ha, it turned out that his family had already I left quietly, leaving him alone to serve me. Do I really look like that kind of cruel and violent person? But whatever, no matter what he thinks, I don't have enough time to care about the feelings of a stranger. I just want to leave some money before leaving.

While eating, I asked the old woodcutter curiously. Why are there so many objections to gold diggers? Isn’t Cordovis Island striving for development? Although the gold diggers brought a lot of trouble, they also created more benefits for Cordovis Island.

"Those people are just crazy. They have been confused by money." The old woodcutter stomped on the ground and replied angrily.

In the past, Cordovis Island was a peaceful little place. Although it was poor, it had an abundance of people. At that time, in the quiet night, you could even hear the melodious singing of mermaids in the distance. But all this changed with the appearance of gold diggers. The mermaids disappeared and the islanders became greedy. Today's Cordovis The island is like a giant garbage dump.

Oh, it turns out that the old woodcutter is a conservative. I neither object to his statement, nor do I deliberately agree with it. Those islanders who gained a lot of wealth after the arrival of gold diggers may also have their own opinions. In the final analysis, they just have different ideas. There is no clear right or wrong, but if I had to choose, I would still prefer the old woodcutter. Being ordinary is a blessing.

Seeing me showing a slight look of approval. The old woodcutter suddenly became excited. This is amazing. Even the adventurer thinks his idea is right. People have such thoughts. For example, if you decide to become a salted fish seller, a beggar comes over and says you have a future. , you will most likely drive him away if the national leader comes in person to tell you that you have a future. The effect is different.

The old woodcutter seemed to immediately regard me as a half-confidant. The respect and fear he felt at the beginning were much lighter, and he talked about a lot of his own opinions. Anyway, I was bored, so I just listened. If you go on, you should just have a deep understanding of the world view of an old civilian, but under the table, you are fighting with a dead dog, ah. Bite my thigh again. Watch me twist your ears into twists.

After spraying for more than two hours, the woodcutter felt refreshed. How long has it been since anyone was willing to listen to his nagging like this? If he hadn't been able to think of the other person's identity, he would have opened an altar to offer wine and worship him immediately.

I licked my chapped lips with lingering thoughts. Before leaving, the woodcutter gave me a friendly message. After walking through the mountain forest in front of me, it took about an hour to reach the edge of the island. The beach was unusually beautiful. It is desolate, and monsters will appear in the forest. Few gold diggers dare to go there, so there may be mermaids.

The old woodcutter told me that when he was young, when Cordovis Island was still peaceful and peaceful, he could occasionally hear the mermaid singing there at home, but he has not heard it for more than ten years now.

Originally, I didn’t take the old woodcutter’s words to heart, but after wandering around the island for two days, Masif told me that I would have to sail the day after tomorrow. After I was disgusted with the greedy smell of gold diggers filling Cordovis Island, , I suddenly had such a sense of elegance - it would be good to find a quiet place to take a nap at noon. Soon, I thought of what the old woodcutter said, about the desolate beach he said.

I did whatever I thought of, and followed the direction pointed by the woodcutter, and I walked all the way in the forest. Some people may say that I am going to get lost again, but you are wrong. Now I have learned a lesson, and I have learned some experience. When walking in the forest, never walk around the trees. Go in a straight line. No matter what is in front of you, destroy it.

As a result, after a burst of crackling movement, the dense forest appeared on a trail. This trail seemed to be stepped by some huge creature. Along the way, even the giant tree where the three of them hugged was forcibly broken. For a period of time, this mysterious and terrifying trail became a topic of conversation among the islanders. There were even rumors that a giant dragon appeared on the island. People were panicked for a while. Even the most unafraid of death gold diggers did not dare to step into this path. A scary path.

The old woodcutter was right when he said there were monsters in the forest, because I saw a lot of corpses along the way, many of them human. They must be those gold diggers who are not afraid of death. If they make such a big noise, these monsters will naturally not Suddenly, dozens of dwarfs holding various kitchen knives and spears emerged from the jungle. If they were ordinary adventurers, they might be caught off guard in this environment, but ah……

I'm no ordinary adventurer.

After clearing out the dwarf tribe along the way, I finally came to the desolate beach the old woodcutter mentioned. Pieces of strange-shaped boulders stood on the beach, gently pushed by the waves. They really looked like An environment where mermaids will appear.

I randomly found a boulder that was almost flat, stretched out lazily on it, kicked the dead dog that was trying to climb up again, and squinted my eyes in the afternoon sun.

In the dream, a beautiful girl with beautiful long purple hair, an exquisite face, and an extremely noble temperament rushed towards me fiercely and bit my thigh. Naturally, I was not to be outdone, but this purple-haired girl was strong. It was so horrifying that I was beaten so hard that I ran away with my head in my arms.

"Wow……"

When I woke up from my dream, the sun had already sunk halfway down. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead - dreaming about a beautiful woman was indeed good, but dreaming about being beaten by a beautiful woman was unpleasant.

When I turned around, I found the dead dog lying next to me in a large shape. It seemed that it had had a sweet dream. The dog's mouth was curled up, making it look cute but also a little weird...

Just when I was about to kick it down, the subtle and moving singing voice not far away, which seemed to sublimate the soul, came to my ears.
