Knights believe in their senses. As a practical fighter, if you always feel that what you see and hear is just an occasional illusion, it is not far from being slashed from the back by a dagger. So Lothar knew very well that someone, or someone who had just stood on the deck of the dame Dame, was probably the one who opened the hole in the deck and let the sea breeze in. From this point of view, he or she should be a lifesaver. But the count did not think it would be so simple.
"Cough," Loza coughed twice, his throat pained from being too dry, and his physical weakness when he got up told him how weak he was. After a period of fasting, even the strong soldiers were skinny and skinny. Lothar began to worry about whether she could lift up the justice of the fool and fight the enemy. But before it happened, unnecessary worries were of no help. The count reluctantly stood up and looked around.
The sunlight from the cracks between the holes and the planks fell into the cabin, allowing people to see the situation clearly. The two witches have no signs of awakening, but their breathing is very stable, it should be just because of excessive physical overdraft and into a deep sleep. As for the net worm, her situation is better, but Lothar did not mean to wake her up immediately. Under the current situation, even if all four people wake up, their combat power will not be greatly improved. Instead, let them rest in this safer space and climb up the deck to see what''s going on outside.
So Rosa looked for his weapon in the light, and the straw that had been laid on the bottom was scattered because of the rolling, making it impossible to see the real floor. But fortunately, even if the wizard was plated with a camouflage shell, the blade of the witch hunting knife was still sharp, and the count soon found his Tomahawk in a reflective spot. When he picked up the weapon, the heaviness in his hand almost made him fall. Lothar shook his head and gave a wry smile, which reminded him of the first time he had taken up a real weapon. And he is no longer a child. Even in a desperate situation, knights have the responsibility to protect others. Not to mention being weak because of not eating. The count took a deep breath, and then the strength of his belly lifted the axe. He weighed the weight of his hand and estimated how long it would last if he waved it.
Before boarding the deck, the count still pinned his Tomahawk behind his back. He didn''t want to go to see the man with unknown enemy or enemy in his hand, which might frighten away the good man who had good intentions. Even though he didn''t know what kind of good guy would chisel through the deck of a ship after the tsunami. After a few days, Lothar finally saw the sun and the sea under the sun again. This is really incredible, his face unconsciously showed a smile, no one can live in a small secluded room.
"Oh Seagulls fly overhead, making a high pitched call. This made the count aware of where he was now. He reexamined the deck and found that the dame Dame''s hull was almost completely damaged. Apart from the cabins protected by magic, both the mast and the rear terrace were seriously damaged in the torrent. The original three masted yacht now has no mast left, and it is free from a wooden box floating on the sea. "I hope they can afford the repairs." Rosa muttered to herself.
Seagulls appeared, indicating that the ship was close to the shore. The count took a few steps towards the edge of the deck and saw the sea full of debris and floating debris. It was like the end of the flood that made his smile disappear. But soon Lothar realized that the scene would be there. He turned to his back and saw the towering mountains in the distance, spreading like a barrier to the sea. "I see, so this is lost heart Bay?"
"Not exactly. The human city in your mouth has now disappeared. Although everything in it is only temporarily covered by the sea, if the sea water does not recede, it will not belong to human beings. " The sound came from the front of the deck with strange tones and trills. Lothar followed the sound and saw a man, or humanoid creature.
He had never seen such a presence before. Standing on the deck, the creature has a slender body, at least two meters high, full of streamline beauty. His hands and feet are thin, but he can see the obvious muscle outline. On this slender limb, there is no human skin. Instead, there is a layer of fine scales. These scales, about half the size of a nail, make up the epidermis of this creature, shining beautiful colors in the sun. Overall, the creature''s skin color, or scale, is light blue, but there are bright yellow lines on his chest and limbs, a striking sign that reminds Rosa of the patterns on poisonous mushrooms or snakes.
The head of a creature is quite different from that of a human being. His neck is about a quarter larger than that of a human being, and his head also presents a long and narrow appearance. There was no nose on his face, but there was something like a gill near the clavicle. The most obvious one on that face is the pair of big eyes. It is estimated that the size of those eyes is only about three times as large as that of human beings. Moreover, these two eyes are obviously facing both sides on the narrow face, and they are more like fish than humans.
Lothar noticed that although there was no human clothing on his body, he still wore some ornaments made of shells and seaweed. In particular, he had a knife that looked like a shark''s tooth on his belt, which proved that he came from a civilized group. If someone else came, he would have screamed and panicked because of the sudden appearance of non character species. But the count is the experience of rat plague. After witnessing the half man and half mouse monster and the shadow residents in the capital city, Lothar himself did not notice that he did not show any unusual expression when facing this strange existence. When he looks at each other, it''s just like enjoying an unusual piece of art."So you saved us?" Since the other party had already said hello in human language, the count said directly. The stranger on the deck, with his hands on his back, grinned at the question. Rosa guessed that it was trying to imitate a human smile, but the oversized mouth and the dense sharp teeth made people feel less kind.
"Help? No, I''m just delaying the time for you to go home. Our process in the sea of life is to experience suffering before we reach our destination. Only in this way can we understand the meaning of eternal peace. So it''s not salvation, it''s more because my curiosity and selfishness have prolonged your suffering. I''m sorry about that. " Said the thing, bending down slightly to reveal the fins protruding from the spine.
This is not the first time that Rosa has heard a different world view from his education. As a knight, he should respect other people''s beliefs. Besides, since all people are creatures in this world, who can say who is right to view the world? In this way, the knight''s face showed a smile. He could feel a peaceful temperament from this fish like creature, which was different from kindness, but it would make people yearn for it.
"You don''t have to apologize. No matter what your starting point is, we did get your help." Lothar bowed his head slightly. He was no longer the Lord who was full of war before. If he learned anything from the rat plague, humility must be one of the most important.
"You have a peaceful heart and a certain strong spirit rooted in your heart, which is not common in your family." The fish like creature has a crooked head. He doesn''t seem to have eyelids. "That may explain why you can travel with travelers. They are too difficult for weak willed people to understand, but not necessarily for you
"Traveler?"
"Well, I think, they claim to be witches among ordinary people. You should be more amiable to use this address As the creature said this, he suddenly thought of something. He walked two steps towards Lothar, with only four toes on the soles of his feet, which were very wide apart. "I''m sorry, according to the etiquette of land creatures, it seems that I should introduce myself first. You can call me fioni, which means Morpher in our language
"Lothar, I don''t think my name has any special meaning." The count reached out and made a handshake with the creature who claimed to be fioni. He could feel the palms of his opponent''s hands wet and scaly as well. In addition, there seems to be some small things with suction in fioni''s palm.
"Oh, I see." When they shook hands, fioni suddenly said, "so you are the man. No wonder I''m here. "
