Seeing all the enemies leaving, Victoria glanced at Caesar with a complicated expression, but in the end she didn't say anything and walked towards the captain's cabin. Although Caesar was defeated in the previous battle, she was seriously injured. It's serious and in urgent need of recovery.
Unexpectedly, Caesar suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the deck of the Queen Victoria.
The magic knights on the deck were very vigilant and looked at Caesar nervously, but they were also very aware of Caesar's terrifying strength and did not act rashly.
Caesar spoke up and said to the magic knight: "You don't have to be so nervous. I have said that I will never interfere in this matter again, and I will never interfere. Therefore, my current identity is not your enemy, but To be your allies—well, to protect your allies.”
The magic knight is still vigilant.
Caesar couldn't help but shake his head. The next moment he looked at Victoria, who was about to walk to the captain's cabin. He took out a metal tube container from his arms and threw it over.
"Snapped!"
There was a sound, and Victoria reached out to catch it, frowning and looking at Caesar with some confusion.
Caesar opened his mouth and smiled, showing his white teeth, and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't be nervous, Miss Victoria. This is a medicine to treat injuries. Just drink it and it will speed up your recovery."
Victoria didn't speak and silently accepted the potion. She glanced at Caesar strangely, then turned and walked into the cabin.
Caesar shrugged, watched Victoria enter the cabin, then looked at the people on the deck, and said: "Hey, you really don't have to be so hostile to me, after all, I didn't hurt you. Even if I injured your captain, Didn't you give him the potion just now? By the way, I am planning to stay on your ship for a few days and protect you to the port. You can't keep being so hostile to me, how about... let's chat? "
At the end of the sentence, Caesar suddenly pointed to someone: "It's you, do you want to talk to me?"
Um
On the deck, Richard looked at the hand pointed by Caesar and raised his eyebrows. But he didn't get too excited, he kept calm, turned slightly and looked behind him.
He saw behind him, Sherlock appeared at some point, looking at Caesar with wide eyes, pointing at his body and asking, "Me?"
"Yes." Caesar nodded and asked Sherlock, "You are from the Melrose family, right?"
"Uh? How do you know?" Sherlock was surprised.
"It's simple, because I have met someone who looks very similar to you, and that person is from the Melrose family."
"That's it." Charlotte suddenly realized.
"Actually, speaking of it, I still have some connections with your family..." Caesar said, chatting with Sherlock naturally.
Richard watched the two people chatting lively, turned around quietly, walked off the deck, and returned to the cabin.
The Queen Victoria resumed its course and headed towards the finish line.
…
A few days later.
Nishizawa, who had great strength, stayed on the Queen Victoria as he said, protecting the safety of the ship until the last day.
Before leaving, Caesar said goodbye to the female captain Victoria, quite reluctantly.
However, Victoria simply said a few words of thanks to Caesar, and she did so through the door of the captain's cabin - the reason was that she had not recovered from her injury and it was not appropriate to come out.
Richard could tell that Caesar was a little jealous of the female captain Victoria. As for Victoria, she probably had no feelings for Caesar at all.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him.
What happened on the ship allowed him to see more of the main continent, and he had a clearer understanding of the wizard organization, wizard strength, and wizard battles on the main continent. Other than that, it had no other impact.
All he cared about was his job and the Queen Victoria's voyage.
With Caesar's departure, the Queen Victoria was less than a day's voyage away from the main continent. He continued his work, and occasionally chatted with Sherlock after work.
…
On the deck of the Queen Victoria in daylight on the last day of the voyage.
Richard and Sherlock stood, and Sherlock kept talking, speaking very fast. In the past few days, the other party had communicated a lot with Nishizawa who stayed on the ship, so he knew a lot of new things and had a strong desire to express himself.
Richard looked at the sea in the distance, listening to the other party's words quietly, occasionally responding, but most of his energy was still focused on work, thinking about how to solve a small problem he encountered at work.
Suddenly, Sherlock said: "Hey, Richard, you know, many people on the ship are angry about something right now."
"Huh? What?"
"What they are angry about is the person who brought the treasure on the ship and caused so much trouble, but kept hiding his identity. To be honest, he still hasn't shown up and doesn't even know his identity. He is really careful."
"It makes sense." Richard glanced at Sherlock and said softly, "The other party knows the value of his treasure. Even if he didn't know it originally, he should have understood it after going through so many things. In this case, naturally he would not dare to expose it. After all, No one can guarantee whether anyone else on the ship has other intentions. At this time, the other party should be constantly moving the hidden location of the treasure to prevent it from being discovered."
Sherlock listened and nodded slightly: "That makes sense. To be honest, if you really want to hide a book, it's really hard to find it."
"Huh? A book?" Richard's eyes flashed.
"Yes, that treasure is actually a book. It is said to record some taboo contents, so it attracts so many people to snatch it. Well, this is what Caesar told me." Sherlock said.
"So it's a book?" Richard murmured, thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Sherlock asked.
"Well, it's nothing, I just thought of other things and went up." Richard said, "By the way, according to the current progress, this ship will arrive at the main mainland port early tomorrow morning, right?"
"right."
"It's almost time then."
"Yeah, it's time to pack your bags." Sherlock said.
Richard: "..." The two of them were not talking about the same thing at all.
…
night.
In the cabin where Richard lives.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Richard took out a heavy book from the space iron ring - a book given to him by a down-and-out novelist many days ago.
To be precise, it was not given as a gift, but as a mortgage to him.
He gave the novelist a gold coin, and the novelist pledged the book to him. If the other party cannot return the gold coins to him before disembarking, the book will be his. And if the other party returns the gold coins to him before disembarking, the other party is eligible to take the book back, and the book is only temporarily kept with him.
Thinking about this, Richard recalled many details of his contact with the down-and-out novelist:
For example, when the down-and-out novelist appeared - he didn't see the other person when his consciousness was out of the body. Then when he stepped onto the deck, he saw that the other person seemed to have been there all the time. After giving the other party gold coins, he never saw the other person. coincide
Another example is the other person's clothes - they look a bit familiar, a bit like...
Also like...
Richard kept thinking, his eyes narrowed little by little, he lowered his head to look at the book in his hand, and said to himself: "Are you overthinking, or is there really a problem?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard opened the book. With a thought, free energy elements poured out from the source of the law and tentatively poured into the book.
As soon as the results were injected, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.
I saw the book shake suddenly and emit a faint light. The scrawled words originally written on the paper quickly disappeared, and new words appeared, neatly and densely packed.
This is
Richard glanced at the new content and couldn't help but widen his eyes. When he was about to continue reading, there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Richard hesitated and turned to look at the door. A light blue light flashed in his eyes, and he used the Eye of Gaze to see clearly the person outside the door through perspective.
The person who came was none other than the down-and-out novelist.
this!
Richard pursed his lips. He was no longer surprised that the other party came to his door. He thought carefully for a while, took a deep breath and stood up.
