Release that Witch Chapter 1264: Retention

...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ... Mr. Sander Bird is back from the Vortex Sea! And ... they seem to be in big trouble!"

The sudden report of personal guard gave Roland a slight pause. After the conference to expand the industrial scale, he returned to the office, intending to continue to improve the drawings to be used next, and this unexpected news completely disconnected his thinking.

The so-called Sander Bird is the pseudonym of Thunder.

"Where is he now?" Roland suddenly stood up and asked.

"Just in the castle hall, he said he hopes to see you immediately."

"Take him come in!" he ordered, "Let the kitchen have another afternoon tea."

"Yes, I'll do it." Sean turned around and disappeared quickly at the door.

Nightingale was a bit worried, "Should I go and notify Lightning?"

Roland shook his head, "Since he can come to the castle, he should not have encountered any major obstacles, but he should first ask situation clearly."

According to the date calculation, Thunder only went a little over half a year to the sea. Counting the return trip, which only took three months to sail, it was even shorter, considering that they stayed in the Hidden Shadow Islands for a while. This is far lower than explorer's original plan, --. According to the other party ’s vision, the voyage will take at least one year to one and a half years. If possible, Thunder would even like to see what is at the end of the vortex sea, as seen in ruins. Whether the continent you are in is deep in the sea.

Obviously, something happened that could not be counteracted by manpower, which led to this long-planned expedition.

Roland couldn't help looking out the window.

Is it possible ... also related to Red Moon?

Thunder under the pseudonym Sander quickly walked into the office under the leadership of personal guard. It can be seen that he came back really embarrassed this time. He didn't have time to put on the disguised beard, and the exaggerated feather decoration There is not much left. If it is seen by Lightning now, chances are it will be recognized.

But at least, he's still intact, and for Roland, that's enough.

"Your Majesty, glad to see you again --" Thunder bowed his chest and said, "I almost thought I would never come back again."

Roland gave him the cold and delicious Chaos Drink of pour a cup. "What happened? Since it is the most outstanding sailing master of the fjord islands, I think ordinary storms or tsunamis will not let you say this. Come. "

"There are signs of storms and tsunamis, but thousands of sea ghosts won't have them," Thunder seems to be still worried at the moment, "not to mention that we have encountered not only sea ghost, but even more terrible monsters ... "

Listening to each other, Roland seemed to feel their despair at that time. Countless sea ghost swarmed to the fleet. The crooked spine seemed to make the sea water boiling. The slow sailing boat would be ruthlessly towed. Hell. And sea ghost is also mixed with horrible ships of flesh and blood, and the acid sprayed by them can fall several kilometers away. As long as it is stuck, it will peel the flesh, and steel and wood cannot resist this corrosion. Even with full sails and full speed, the expedition cannot pull the distance between the two sides ...

"Sky Sea Territory ..." His face sank like a watercourse.

"Your Majesty, what is that?" Thunder asked.

"Devil refers to another civilization," Roland slowly informed the other party that Devil was fighting in two lines. The hull consisting of a rib-like vault, flesh and organs, can float on the water like a sea boat and dive into the sea. These characteristics are almost the same as what he saw in the God Relic.

"Do you mean, we broke into their territory?"

"Maybe so. Of course, it is not ruled out that Red Moon now makes them more active, thereby expanding the scope of inspections." Roland changed the topic. "After that? How did the expedition fleet get out of danger?"

"In fact, it is not that we have thrown off their pursuit, but that they have internal disturbances themselves." Thunder smiled bitterly.

"Inside ... chaotic?"

"It's true. The enemy chases regardless of day and night, as if you never know how tired you are. By the time we approach Sea Line, we have lost more than half of the ships. Most of the alive sailors also approached because they could not rest for a long time Collapse, only the H.M.S. Snow Wind made by you still has the power to --. After all, she does not need to adjust the sail and course at any time.

"Just as everyone was desperate, a sea monster with a larger size suddenly burst out of the water and entangled one of them, and the scene was like two flesh monsters are biting each other. Although They are all monsters, but the former is obviously stronger. The extremities and tentacles protruding from the body quickly tear the latter apart. After that, whether it is sea ghost or other sea monsters, they stopped chasing, as if stagnant. Around the same, we took the opportunity to cross Sea Line and fled back to the Fiordland Islands. "

Which is still the case, Roland exhales, "Fortunately, luck is on your side, it seems that the name of the ship is indeed not in vain."

"Uh ... the name of the ship?"

"No, nothing," he waved, "What are your plans for the next?"

Thunder's face shows an unprecedented fatigue. "To be honest, the loss of the sea boat is still second, and this expedition has scared most people. Now the fjord is filled with a strange Atmosphere, those sailors who have fought hard all their lives at sea, now look pale towards the east of the sea. I guess no one will dare to board the ship for the Hidden Shadow waters for a long time.

Roland silently. This is not a surprise. As the other party said, both storms and tsunamis can be predicted in advance. Brave sailors can always find a way to dance with them, but this kind of experience can only be fleeing without resistance. Can no longer be called risky.

"The big chambers of commerce have asked me to talk to you, hoping to buy a lot of land at Greycastle at a high price, as their refuge." Thunder sighed, "After all, no one knows that they are still Will it make a comeback -- The sea has always been a natural danger in the eyes of the fjords, but if the enemy can come and go freely in the sea, the entire fjord island is equivalent to an undefended empty city. "

The plan is not as fast as change. One or two years ago, he also planned to use the fjord as the last stronghold for the survivors to survive the rest of the battle. Now situation is the other way round.

If he has just arrived at Border Town and all his family members have less than 300 gold royal, this kind of transaction is absolutely not desirable, but now that banknotes have begun to circulate in the territory, the so-called "high price" is no longer a Attractive conditions.

"What do you think?"

"I said it would be better to give up as soon as possible if you are thinking of establishing a state within a country." Thunder shrugged, "You will never allow them to build a new 'island' in Greycastle."

Roland laughed. It is indeed the most outstanding explorer of the fjord. "If you just want to live, not for the privileges accumulated for generations, Greycastle will always welcome them."

"I will tell you the truth, Your Majesty."

"This voyage should be exhausted. I have prepared afternoon tea. You can take a hot bath first and then talk to me about the journey. It will take several days to repair H.M.S. Snow Wind. It ’s not too late to return to the fjord when you recover your energy. "

"I'll trouble you then." Thunder stroked his chest.

As he was about to retire, Roland suddenly stopped him, "Yes, what about Lightning ... Do you plan to hide it?"

"I ..." Thunder opened his mouth and becomes silent.

"You said that you would recognize her after the expedition. Although this trip was not too successful, now Sky Sea Territory has occupied most of the ocean, and the fjords are heartbroken. Presumably you have been for a long time. There is no danger to detect. "Roland braced his chin." And I need manpower to fight Devil. Lightning also wants to see my father still alive in the world. Since -- is so, how about staying after the trivia is over? "

Thunder looked down after a few seconds of silence, "I will consider ... Your Majesty."
