The ship "All Things Grow" slowly fell into the water, split the calm water in half, and dragged out long ripples behind it. The elf captain Grandy stood at the bow of the ship and issued a series of orders. As the sailors on the deck kept busy, with their efforts, the speed of the "All Things Growth" became slower and slower, and finally docked less than 30 meters away from the land.
The roots of the huge and thick ancient tree slowly penetrated into the seabed from the "Everything Grows", scaring the fish that roamed freely in the sea in groups and ran around. The roots of the ancient tree finally sank to the seabed, and Firmly attached to the rugged rocks and corals, they have the same function as the most commonly used anchors for human sea ships, and the effect is more obvious.
"Her Majesty, we have arrived at our destination. Do you want to land now, or wait until tomorrow?" Elf Captain Grandy said: "I suggest you rest on the ship for one night. After all, it is already the afternoon, and there will be at most 2 more The sun sets in an hour."
"No, Grandy, time is running out, let's set off now." Fulia rejected Grandy's proposal. She couldn't wait any longer.
"As you wish." Grandy shrugged his shoulders. The Queen's will was his mission, so he would naturally not raise any objections. However, the elf captain thought about it for a while and asked, "How many people do I need to choose?" Will I follow you, even if I am carrying a stretcher?"
"Thank you, but my friends will help me." Fulia still rejected the proposal, because Grandi and the others are good at sailing and can only be barely considered beginners in combat. They may be able to deal with robbing pirates. , but it is completely useless against the powerful dragon clan.
"Oh, you guys, don't you believe me, Reynolds?" The sonorous voice of Dwarf King Reynolds appeared in Grandy's ears. The latter turned his head and glanced at Reynolds, with a different expression on his face. The smile made Renault's face turn slightly red, and he couldn't help but explain: "The battlefield of our dwarves is not on the water. This... well, seasickness is inevitable, but now we are back on land, and you Look, there are many mountains here. This is the place we dwarves are most familiar with, so... "
"Okay, Reynolds, we are about to set off. You and Allen can help me a little more." Fulia interrupted Reynolds with a smile. The latter scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and walked back to the cabin.
After a while, Reynolds and Allendo appeared on the deck carrying a stretcher made of green plants. The unconscious Ryan was lying on the stretcher. Reynolds could only stand on the stretcher because of his short stature. Being able to walk in front, he complained as he walked: "Damn it, isn't it true that seasickness is just like being drunk? How come I never vomited when I was drunk, but I vomited when I got seasick..."
Freya waited until Alando and the others came to her side. After carefully checking Ryan's body, she turned and walked to the port side of the deck facing the land, and softly recited a poem praising the Moonlight Goddess. Under the beautiful sound, the plants on the "All Things Grow" began to grow crazily, but they seemed to be spiritually concentrated on the left side of the ship. The branches that stretched out were closely intertwined, forming a tower on the surface of the sea. The floating bridge leads to the land dozens of meters away.
"Let's go." Fulia took the lead and was the first to step onto this plant pontoon. Although her feet were a little soft and it was a bit shaky when she walked up, this pontoon was very strong, even if Allen and the others stepped on it together. After going up, the pontoon only sank slightly, and then it stood up tenaciously.
The female Nagatisilis is now in an extremely conflicting mood. From the perspective of her own safety, she does not want to follow Freya and her party deep into the realm of death. However, if it is not by Freya's side, where will it have the chance to do anything? She clicked the moonlight brooch and watched Freya and the others set off without thinking about herself at all. Tisilis could only stand in the corner of the deck and sighed deeply, not knowing that she didn't have to face the terrible danger for the time being. Feeling relaxed about the unknown threat, or frustrated that there is no way to find a chance to get the brooch,
However, Tisiris's mood soon became heavy, because it discovered that the most powerful human on the ship was standing alone on the mast watching Freya and the others go away, and they went deep into the realm of death. Not bringing her strongest partner with her was a discovery that really went against Tiselis's knowledge. At first, she thought that the other party was staying to monitor her, but after thinking about it carefully, Tiselis knew that she was wrong, because Freya has many ways to deal with it. She doesn't have to resort to the stupidest method of folding her wings. On the contrary, this only shows that Freya is very confident in the safety of her next trip. In Tisilis' view, the Elf Queen His biggest reliance must be the brooch that can ignore the huge pressure of this sea area. This makes the Naga royal family become more eager to get the brooch.
"Creak, creak, creak." The red sand under your feet will make such a sound when you step on it. At the same time, it will bring a hot air into the soles of your feet, which makes people very uncomfortable. In addition, the air is filled with the smell of sulfur. , the smell was very pungent at first, but over time, I gradually got used to it. Fulia and the four of them slowly walked towards the center of the island. Fulia led the way, and Alando and Reynolds walked behind carrying the stretcher. Behind them, they dragged it with long, slightly messy footprints to the beach in the distance.
Dragon Island is said to be an island, but in fact it is quite large. There are large beaches, winding mountains, and volcanoes that erupt all year round. It is just that it is alone and uninhabited overseas all year round. Ordinary sea ships simply cannot It may take a month to travel here, and the dragon clan living here releases powerful dragon power from time to time to cover the surrounding area, causing most of the ships that mistakenly enter it to sink to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, over time, this place is also Slowly became a legend,
After walking for more than an hour, Fulia and the others entered the mountains. The temperature here suddenly rose a lot, making people seem to have gone from cold winter to hot summer in an instant. The dense forest seemed It was very quiet, with not even the slightest chirping of insects or birds. There was only the sound of Freya and the others stepping on the fallen leaves, which sounded very creepy.
Reynolds looked around and murmured a few words about the environment here. Although it was similar to his hometown, full of trees and mountains, it always made people feel uncomfortable, as if someone was spying on him. , but no matter how much Reynolds observed, he could never find the peeping guy. This made the straightforward dwarf king extremely depressed. With his character, he would rather run rampant among a hundred thousand powerful enemies than fight with a single enemy. Playing hide-and-seek in the forest, Reynolds, who became increasingly unhappy as he walked, couldn't help but speak.
"Damn it, damn it, I mean Fulia, this place is too weird, uh, okay, I won't say anything anymore." Reynolds only said a few words when he saw Fulia turn around with an annoyed look in her eyes. Looking at himself, he felt embarrassed, so he closed his mouth. However, the dwarf king stopped talking, and another voice came from the forest,
"Haha, it's so funny, so funny. This is the first time I've seen such a strange visitor, a beautiful girl, a man who is a little worse than me, but still very handsome, and a dwarf. Hey, I said, what are you doing here? Don’t you know it’s dangerous here?”
"Is it dangerous? Is it dangerous? Is it dangerous?" The voice suddenly became louder at the end, and its echo enveloped the entire mountain forest in a very short period of time, accompanied by repeated waves of excitement. In response, a group of black shadows rushed out of the forest. After knocking over a dozen big trees, it stood in front of Fulia and the others. It was a human man in his forties.
"Hey, I didn't plant the mountains and forests here, but I really made this road. If you pass by here, shouldn't you give me some... Well, how should I say it in human language, oh, By the way, it's taxes. I asked you, should you give me some taxes?" The human man who suddenly appeared pointed his fingers and said: "According to the law of Laozi, each of you men should pay 10 copper coins, and then A woman is worth 5 copper coins, so the total should be... "
The human man struggled to calculate the final number with his fingers, but he still couldn't figure out a correct answer. Reynolds, who was watching on the side, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "I said this is a question for 3-year-old children. , is there any problem with the 35 copper coins in total?"
"Ah, really." The human man calculated according to the answer given by Reynolds for a while, then he raised his head and said confidently: "Yes, yes, this is the number, well, why the hell does a human have one hand?" It’s five fingers, and I get it wrong every time.”
"We want to meet the contemporary guardian of the Dragon Clan. I am the Queen of the Elves, Fulia." At first, Fulia just waited quietly for the other party to talk nonsense. When the human man in his forties looked at her Only then did he reveal his identity,
"Uh, well, this elves are good friends, but when good friends come, this tax... Well, I mean those shiny things can't... That... Hey, what did you throw at me. " The human man grabbed the pocket handed over by Allendo and opened it with curiosity. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wow, it's shiny and sparkling. I like it. You are a good person, and all human beings are good people." The man in his forties was completely dazzled by the pocket of golden coins thrown by Alando. With eyes wide open, he poured all the gold coins on the ground, then threw them up with no regard for his grace, pressed them all down with his own body, and then kept counting in his mouth: "One, two, three, Four... Damn it, humans have 5 fingers, not our 4... Where did I just count?"
