I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Five days later.

The fleet docked at a port.

This island is called Narcissus Island and is famous for the narcissus flowers blooming on the island. However, Lu Jian cannot get off the boat to see the legendary beautiful narcissus field.

After this port, the fleet will have to sail for about ten days before encountering a new port. Therefore, it needs to replenish water and food here and be fully prepared.

At the same time, Sakurajima's island escort frigate will bid farewell to them here and return to the main island.

The docking time was short. Taking advantage of the supply time, Chang Pu and Lu Jian arrived at the flagship.

For the next ten days, they will live on the flagship and be responsible for piloting.

"Don't talk too much. I don't want to see the miko-sama grabbing a live fish and chewing on it when she gets off the boat."

Calamus, carrying her extra-long knife, reminded Lu Tandao.

During these five days, Lu Tan not only tried the red-flesh fish, but also tried eating raw meat from ugly shells, and eating raw the tentacles of soft-bodied creatures full of tentacles.

As a result, the sailors began to wait for the harvest that Laika brought back every night when he went fishing in the water.

"I find it strange that you don't eat raw food."

Lu Tiao didn't expect that one day it would be him, an outsider, who told the people of Hedao that seafood could be eaten raw.

"But I can understand, if there are plants like wasabi or wasabi, combined with soy sauce..."

He thought that maybe it was because there was no such seasoning in this world that could complement seafood. However, when he was on Utashima before, although those things may not be real food, Lu Jian remembered that he had seen sashimi and the like.

Perhaps those are delicacies that can only be enjoyed by literati and elegant guests.

"Miko, we have a very long voyage ahead. I hope you can give us enough trust."

When the journey started again, in the captain's cabin, Iris spoke to Amber again.

"I trust you."

Amber nodded.

"You swore an oath to bind your soul, and you will protect me to Hedao, right?"

The indifference in her body became heavier, and she was colder than the girl Lu Jian saw under the moonlight who could caress Laika's belly.

"That's right."

Calamus replied.

"So, I hope that you, Miko-sama, can completely trust me, because under certain circumstances, I may do something that may hurt you in your opinion, but please don't worry, that is just to protect you."

"What situation are you referring to?"

Amber frowned slightly.

"I don't know, but you must know that some people don't want you to successfully reach Hedao, and the next section of the road is the most dangerous section."

Calamus shook his head.

"I believe you."

Amber glanced at Lu Tan.

"You can always trust me."

Lu Tian added.

The girl Amber's eyebrows twitched slightly, and Lu Tan didn't know if she was holding back her smile or feeling it was not worth mentioning.

Lu Tiao was a little curious after leaving the captain's room.

"Sister, have you gotten some information?"

Big Sister Tou is the unified name for Acorus by the mercenaries. Although she is more than a head shorter than Lu Tan, the aura she exudes is genuine.

At least, she must have killed someone with her own hands.

"This trip is not easy. On the dock just now, several dock workers were not suitable for heavy physical work. They are obviously not real workers. They are here to gather information. Maybe someone has already gotten on the ship."

"Even the sailors on this ship may have been bribed. Only the people on the island really protect the miko. Now that they leave, some people are ready to take action."

"Don't think it's impossible. The miko-sama is not facing simple political opponents now, but the nobles currently in power."

"If things go wrong, we may be framed. They will disguise themselves as pirates and mercenaries and work together to kill the miko."

Calamus analyzed simply.

"In that case, why should we take this order?"

Lu Tan asked.

This is similar to the fact that the whole world wanted Amber to die, but Acorus still accepted the commission and did not even leave the place where he could escape in the end.

"Because I think I can win."

Calamus smiled.

"If we win, then we will get the full support of the miko-sama. We will no longer have to wander on the sea. We can have our own mansion and land on the island. For this, I think we can take a gamble."

To be honest, Lu Tan didn't quite understand this.

Not to mention that he himself was doing it because of the mission. If Lu Tiao was really a mercenary and this mission was before him, then Lu Tiao would probably not take it rashly.

Too dangerous.

Even if the mission is successful, you may not be able to obtain those favors, and these favors are not worth the risk of your life in Lu Tuan's opinion.

These words of Acorus are more like a reason for Lu Jian.

It seems reasonable, but in fact it doesn't make sense.

Regardless, at least Lu Jian confirmed that she should not be the chosen one for the invasion.

That's what Laika told him anyway.

Lu Jian was able to see through the appearance of the invaders when he was on Pohnpei Island in the original world, but he was not sure whether he could see through the disguises of the Chosen Ones from other gods in a foreign land.

At least he hasn't seen any fish-men, bandage men, or four-eyed boys so far.

night.

Lu Jian did not hold any more late-night barbecues on this ship.

He ate by himself secretly.

"The fish here seem to be a little thinner, maybe there's nothing left to eat."

Lu Tan threw the fish head to Laika as usual, took a few bites and sighed.

The sea sparkled under the moonlight, and after leaving Narcissus Island, there was more fog on the sea.

This fog made Lu Tuan feel a little sick, but fortunately it was just ordinary sea fog, with a damp and salty smell that made people who were not used to it feel nauseous.

Lu Tan could only take two more bites.

Halfway through eating, Lu Tan felt like he saw a figure.

He threw the fish to Laika, wiped his hands, stood up, and followed the figure.

This man seemed to be one of Amber's guards. He walked towards the depths of the cabin with a somewhat stiff movement.

Lu Tan followed him from a distance, relying on his [True Sight] vision to catch his traces.

The lower level of the cabin is a warehouse containing food and water. If you want to poison, this is the best place.

Lu Tiao saw the man swaying and walking to the depths of the warehouse as if he had been drunk.

Here, in a place where almost no one usually comes, Lu Jian saw a bright red magic circle painted on the dry wooden floor. The magic circle was surrounded by fine words, which looked like the Wanda spell that Lu Jian had seen before. .

The guard suddenly fell to his knees with a plop and took out a statue from his arms.

Lu Tiao saw that the statue had a hateful face and a fat figure. It had a bloody mouth open in its abdomen and was emitting a disgusting aura.

The moment he took out the statue, Lu Tiao smelled a stench.

The guard placed the statue in the center of the circle.

Then start praying.
