Chapter 518 Strange Fish Philip was not as happy as the other crew members and passengers. He pushed Gorcia away, ignored the pain in his back and hands, and quickly ran to the side of the ship, looking at the ocean within his sight. He kept changing his position, looking for areas and objects that might be abnormal. Suddenly, he heard a dull cry. He was stunned for a moment, figured out the direction of the sound, and ran to the bow of the "Flying Bird". The dull cry gradually became sharper, and Philip saw blood flowers emerging from the blue sea in the distance, and a large shadow rose. The shadow quickly became clear and turned into a four-eyed strange fish with gray-blue balls replacing its body scales and a long pointed mouth. This strange fish was not small in size. It was twisting and struggling in the sea, swinging its tail fin and water droplets wildly. There were waves around it without any wind, and the sea water surged to a height of five or six meters and hit it hard. The sharp cry eased slightly, and the four-eyed monster dived back into the water with a tangible fear, swimming quickly away. Its remaining kin followed closely behind.
Seeing this scene from the window of Room 5 in the first-class cabin, Lumian changed his dry clothes as if no one was around. It was because he discovered that the "Melody of Hate" had triggered the fear of the four-eyed monster fish that he "teleported" back directly, instead of "jumping" into the air again, so as to give the other party saturation fire coverage when it floated to the surface. Fear will make the monster flee, instead of staying where it is, becoming more ferocious and continuing to create huge waves. "Huh..." When the four-eyed monster fish completely left the sea area, Philip breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it. "It's okay, it's okay..." He whispered instinctively, opened his arms, and said devoutly, "Praise the sun!" "Do you know that fish?" Suddenly, a voice came from beside Philip. Philip looked in astonishment and saw Louis Berry, a man with black hair, green eyes, and profound facial features. His lover, Gochia, stood at the entrance of the cabin, wanting to come over but not daring to approach the side of the ship. "It's 'Alien Sailfish', haha, this is the name given by scholars. At sea, they have another name, 'Death Navigator'." Philip put his hand on the side of the boat and answered Lumian's question. "'Death Navigator', how come I have never heard of it?" Lumian said frankly. To be honest, he didn't know much about supernatural creatures. He had mainly dealt with extraordinary people, evil god believers and out-of-control people before. Philip glanced at him, exhaled, and said with a smile: "This is a fish species that has only appeared in recent years. Many sailors call it the devil of the sea." It only appeared in recent years...Lumian frowned. For him, such descriptions often mean something related to the invasion of evil gods, environmental changes or disasters. "Has this fish only recently appeared in the Misty Sea, or is there no legend that this kind of fish existed in the Five Seas originally?" Lumian interrupted Philip's story and asked a question. Philip thought for a moment and said: "I used to serve in the Misty Sea Fleet. Apart from the Misty Sea, I have only been to the North Sea. I don't know much about the Violent Sea, the Sonia Sea, and the Polar Sea. But I have never heard of similar strange fish from those sailors, pirates, and colleagues in other fleets until a few years ago." Could it be a fish that was contaminated by the evil god? Lumian suddenly felt that it was a wise choice not to force himself to kill the "Alien Swordfish" just now.
That would not only expose his extraordinary abilities to many crew members and passengers, but would also pose other dangers and would most likely yield little gain. What a pile of garbage, only good enough to feed Ludwig! Seeing that Louis Berry no longer dwelled on this detail, Philip continued: "'Alien swordfish' would surface on fogless nights and hang there vertically, as if quietly gazing at the stars. Many sailors and pirates had seen such scenes and were so frightened that they thought they were summoning some evil creatures. "Just imagine, the sea surface is pitch black in the middle of the night, the red moon in the sky is very faint, and only the starlight shines down, while the twisted and terrifying fish heads silently poke out of the sea, motionless, and arranged in different patterns... Anyone would be scared!" Looking up at the starry sky... Could it be that it has been contaminated by the power of the evil god for some reason? Lumian pondered for a few seconds and said: "Why are they called 'Death Pilots'?" Philip rubbed his cheek: "After gazing at the starry sky, the 'alien sailfish' will stay on the water surface, line up in two rows, forming an arrow, and swim towards a certain place in the sea, as if guiding an unknown creature. "Some pirates, adventurers and treasure hunters thought it might point to something very valuable or a hidden treasure, so they tried to follow the 'Alien Sailfish' to see where they would end up. "No ship that did this ever returned, and the crews on board never returned. "So, we all call the Alien Sailfish the 'Death Pilot'." At this point, Philip sighed: "I once heard some sailors say that the 'Death Pilot' seemed to be able to control the waves. Now it seems that this rumor is very likely to be true, and much more powerful than I expected. "Well, the 'Alien Sailfish' just now should be a relatively powerful one even among all the 'Death Pilots'. "However, there has never been a case of a 'Death Pilot' actively attacking a human ship before..." Lumian laughed: "Maybe there was an attack, but no one survived and the news was not passed on." Philip was stunned for a moment and said: "That's right. In a huge wave like the one just now, if a ship capsizes or is smashed, no one can survive except for a few people with special abilities." He paused, and said to himself: "Did that big trouble provoke the attack of the 'Death Navigator'?" “It’s possible.” Lumian responded sincerely. After waiting for a while and making sure that the "death pilots" had not returned, Philip turned around and said to the passengers and crew crowded around the windows and cabin entrances: “All clear! "The weather is normal!" Because they had received a definite answer, the humans who had cheered just now began to cheer again and praise the gods they believed in. Philip retracted his gaze and said thoughtfully: "The 'Death Navigator' was also scared away by that big trouble in the end? “I feel like it’s scared.” "It's possible." Lumian was still so sincere. With this episode, the "Flying Bird" increased its speed and arrived at the capital of the Misty Sea Islands, Port Farin, before night fell.
The sun hung behind Saint-Tique Island, dyeing the distant ocean, vast tracts of forest and the brown volcano that had been dead for many years a crimson color, magnificent and gorgeous. "Falin" means fragrance and sweetness in the native language of the Misty Sea Islands. Saint-Tique Island is rich in spices such as cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and sugar-extracting plants such as sugarcane. The main fruits are bananas and grapes, and the rest is cotton. Looking at the white-walled, red-roofed buildings along the coastline, the masts, sails, and chimneys still spewing smoke in the harbor, Lumian chuckled and said: "Emperor Roselle, who named this city, probably didn't expect that 'Falin' would become the last remnant of the native language." Under generations of cultural erosion policies, the current islanders only speak Intis. They have not spoken their mother tongue for several generations. Among the primitive tribes living in the mountains and forests, there may still be elders who know the indigenous language, but in all the colonial cities and surrounding plantations, there is only one language. That is the Intis language. Of course, in the Misty Sea Islands, there are some very rare Intis words. They are the product of the combination of Intis and the indigenous language. Outside of here, few Intis people use them. "Are you going to get off the boat?" Lugano asked Lumian. The "Flying Bird" will not leave the port until tomorrow afternoon. "Of course, when you come to Farin, how can you not taste the famous Jinsom here?" Lumian said with interest, "Are you bringing Ludwig with me, or are you staying here to look after him?" The Misty Sea Islands have the best sugar cane in Intis, and the sugar wine brewed from their syrup is famous far and wide and is called "Kinthomm". Lugano instinctively wanted to follow his employer, feeling safer with the capable and decisive Lumian, but after a moment's thought, the "doctor" decided it would be better to stay on board. My employer is very powerful, but he is also very capable of causing trouble! After leaving Ludwig enough money for dinner and enough food for two midnight snacks, Lumian walked down the gangway of the "Bird" in a white shirt, black vest, dark jacket and trousers of the same color. It was already autumn in Trier and the temperature was cool, but the Misty Sea Islands seemed to be still in late summer. There was heat flowing in the air, which was quickly blown away by the sea breeze. Lumian strolled out of the port and saw an old native woman with dark skin and wrinkles on her face selling golden straw hats across the street. This hat is woven with a local plant called "golden leaf" and is very popular among the "Eternal Sun" believers. Buying one will give you the beautiful illusion that the sun is right above your head. Lumian thought wearing a straw hat was quite interesting, so he spent 5 Ricks to buy one, put it on his head, and slowly walked to the nearby square. There is a Sun Obelisk in the center of the square, and several notice boards are erected around the edge, with a large number of wanted posters on them. Lumian stopped and put his hands in his pockets. Before the sun completely set, he scanned the wanted posters and wrote down the bounty amounts one by one: "'Mysterious Queen', one of the kings of the sea... bounty 1 million Felgin. "'King of the Five Seas' Nast, one of the kings of the sea... bounty 2000 million Felkins. "'Star Queen' Cattleya, one of the kings of the sea... bounty 1100 million Felkin. "'Immortal King' Agaritu, one of the kings of the sea... bounty 400 million Felgin. "'Disease Queen' Tracy, one of the kings of the sea... bounty 300 million Felkins. "'Twilight King' Bulatov Ivan, one of the kings of the sea... bounty 260 million Felkins..." The adventurer next to him saw Lumian reading the wanted poster of the Six Sea Kings carefully, and couldn't help but make a joke: "Why, do you want to hunt the kings of the sea?"
