Chapter 157 Small is also very cute, the flame that never goes out 【Chaos Demon Pattern】 【Quality: inferior】 【Type: Talent】 【Description: According to legend, magic patterns were the first things discovered and used by elves. 】 Because they firmly believe that language and writing inherently contain magical and mysterious powers. 】 【The magic pattern was supposed to only act on dead objects, but after being contaminated by a certain god, this magic pattern became chaotic and weird, but it could still be used as a container to store secret power. 】 As the cool and refreshing power flowed into his body, Xia En looked down. On the surface of the projected body, there are a few faint black lines extending across the chest. But at this time, these magic patterns seemed to be empty and extremely dim, and soon disappeared from the body surface.
“But, elf...an elf again?” “In this way, you must say something in advance before each appearance to indicate your presence.” Xia En is not discouraged, this is a random action. “But Vivian, can you change your habit of suddenly appearing in front of others? It’s so scary.” Xia En was startled by the ghost that suddenly appeared in front of her, but she still said: "Don't worry, you will be indispensable." To be honest, apart from seeing the unique ecological environment of the Cold Sea, he didn’t gain much from this dive. Most of the residents in this town are ordinary humans, but after some searching, he also found several ice sculptures with elven characteristics. “Mr. Captain, it’s so big!” “Yes, this is a seal.” These people may not be pure-blooded elves, they may be mixed-blooded. … “And some magic patterns can continuously absorb secret power to achieve a balance of payments.” Vivian said with an innocent face: "But I am a ghost, so I should be invisible." “…Ugh! Don’t do that kind of thing!” With a "thud" sound, the seal's body fell on the deck, which also attracted the attention of the crew. About three hours later. Moreover, isn’t there a fat seal? Due to the size of the seal, Shane could only receive the trophy on the deck. Vivian's figure suddenly appeared: "Captain, Captain, I want to eat too!"
An understanding arose in Xia En's heart: "Its essence seems to be a container of secret power." Xia En also felt a sense of accomplishment. Xia En looked at the town below, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes. Xia En exited the [submersible] state. It is best to gain something, and it is not a loss if there is no gain. Like an old mother, Xia En instructed: "Also, don't reveal yourself close to others. If you scare other crew members, I won't take you with me for meals in the future." Even so, it is enough to show that there may be many elves living here before this land was flooded. “Tonight, have a seal dinner!” “Is this the magic pattern?” Joy looked at the plump seal and couldn't help but marvel. “The secret power can be stored in it and released when needed.” —Seals are creatures in the sea. Rounding up, they are the “fish” you catch from the sea. What fisherman wouldn’t want to show off after catching such a “big fish”? “The skin, meat and oil are all good things, don’t waste them.” ifier “What are you doing on the boat these days when you are awake?” Although a new talent has been unlocked, it is still of [low quality] after all. Whether it is useful or not will be known after the quality is improved. "Is this animal called a seal? I just flipped through a book that records creatures in the northern seas, and its name is on it." He also thought of the [Magic Heavy Cannon] on the ship and analyzed it. As a ghost, Vivian's degree of freedom is undoubtedly extremely high, and she also has an ability similar to "invisibility". Only Xia En can see her existence with the help of [Ghost Vision]. Xia En suddenly remembered something again, and his eyes became sharp. … "correct." So, does this disaster that directly freezes the entire town have something to do with the elves? Xia En was thinking as he continued to explore the cold sea water. Vivian let out a small cry. But having said that, even Xia En will not turn on [Ghost Vision] all the time. “Yeah, it’s nothing.” Vivian’s tone of voice rose and her eyes were a little erratic.
“Just strolling around on the boat.” Xia En asked: "When I was taking a shower in the bathroom, you were peeking in, right?" —After the hull of the Black Swan was upgraded, he naturally transformed several extra cabins into bathrooms, and asked Fei Ya to install boilers and pipes for bathing. “No! But…” After denying it, Vivian looked carefully at the white-haired girl not far away. Xia En’s eyes suddenly opened wide. Co-author You peeked at her, right? I haven’t even seen it yet! Seeing this, Joey's little face turned crimson visibly, and he stared at Vivian in shame and anger. “Accident! That was an accident!” Miss Ghost was also aggrieved: "I just wanted to see what was in that room, but I didn't expect that I happened to run into this sister Joy." “However, since we are all girls, it doesn’t matter.” “At worst, I’ll let you see it another day!” Speaking, Vivian puffed up her chest. Although she also has a slender figure, a certain part under the witch's robe is surprisingly material. This straight waist has a rather undulating texture. “Woo!” This time, it was Joey's turn to scream. She received a critical hit and had reason to suspect that the ghost did it on purpose! Vivian also carefully added: "Miss Joy, actually I think... the little one is very cute." “Abominable…” Joy whimpered feebly, almost unable to scream in grief. To be honest, Xia En enjoyed watching the interaction between the two of them, but as the captain, he could not let Vivian continue to wander around the ship in an "invisible person" state. After all, each crew member has his or her own privacy. Hence, Xia En said in a harsher tone. “Vivian, you are not allowed to enter other people’s rooms without permission in the future, nor are you allowed to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations.” "yes…" Vivian lowered her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Captain, there won't be a next time." "That's good." Seeing that she had a good attitude towards admitting her mistake, Xia En did not pursue the matter further.
Oddly enough, he and this ghost lady have not known each other for a long time, and they have only spoken a few words in total. But we got along very well, as if we had known each other for many years. Not long after, An, Fei Ya and Xian Ge came to the deck and were surprised by the appearance of this fat seal. If Xia En didn’t have a big enough fishhook, he would have dared to say that he caught it himself! While the crew was sharpening their knives, they were working together to deal with the seal. Xia En suddenly saw a sheet of snow-white ice appearing on the sea far to the north. The ice layer is not like ordinary scattered ice floes, but a whole piece, like an island, with tall or short icebergs standing on it. “Could it be...that it’s an island?” Xia En’s eyes lit up. He is worried about being unable to confirm his location! As long as there are residents on that island or other notable features, the next route will undoubtedly be determined. “Xiao Hei, bring the boat closer to me!” 【Yes, Master! 】 Under Xia En's order, the [Black Swan] silently increased its speed and approached the ice in the north. A moment later, an island made of ice and snow came into view of Xia En and the crew. However, their eyes were soon attracted by an iceberg on the ice and snow island. This is not because that iceberg is so strange, but because... On the top of the iceberg, a blazing figure stood impressively! That’s right, it’s burning! With Xia En’s sharp eyesight, he could see the strange sight on the iceberg more clearly. I saw that on the snow-capped mountain top, the tall man was covered in orange-red flames. The flame was so magnificent and raging that neither the cold air nor the ice underfoot could stop it from burning! The other person is like a torch that will never go out. In this dead iceberg, alone, it exudes its own light and heat. In a daze, Xia En actually remembered the scene he saw when he passed through the [Ember Gate]. This man actually looks a bit like King Xin on the throne? ! “Who is he?” While everyone in Xia En was secretly frightened, the Fiery Man on the iceberg also noticed this strange ship and couldn't help showing a surprised expression. After all, the island has not had contact with outsiders for decades.
But after a brief surprise, the man still waved enthusiastically to Xia En and others, as if to invite them to come closer. “…He is waving to us?” Seeing this scene, Joey asked in surprise: "Is this welcoming us?" Xia En looked at the iceberg with a strange expression. When a normal person sees a strange ship approaching, shouldn’t his first reaction be to be careful and vigilant? It is also a normal reaction to hide and wait and see what happens. What does it mean when you wave actively? Due to the image of the man enveloped in flames and the extraordinary aura he exuded, Xia En naturally regarded him as a mysterious and powerful man. But his performance was indeed beyond Xia En's expectations. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said to the crew: "I'll go see him. You guys wait on the boat first." Can't blame Xia En for being so cautious. This island is a completely unfamiliar area to them, and it is unknown whether the fire man is an enemy or a friend. To avoid this being a trap, it would be safer for him to explore the road first. With this idea in mind, Xia En set foot on the ice and snow island alone and walked towards the iceberg. At this time, the man with burning flames took the initiative to jump off the iceberg and came to Xia En. After getting closer, Xia En discovered that his image was slightly different from what he imagined. The man was extremely tall, about two and a half meters tall, taller than An in armor, which gave people a sense of oppression. But what really surprised Shane was... The flames on a man's body are not simply attached to his body, but are closely connected to his skin and flesh. in other words. The fuel of this flame is none other than the human body! Fresh granulations are constantly growing on the skin and flesh, and are ignited and carbonized at high temperatures at the same time, forming a layer of coke. This is how this eternal flame was born. The only places that were not burned by the flames were the man’s head and the soles of his feet. After realizing this, Xia En's eyes changed slightly, and he couldn't help blurting out a sentence. “…doesn’t it hurt?” He regretted it as soon as he said it. I actually asked this kind of question out of nowhere to a stranger I met for the first time.
This is not something he would do if he was always rational. Hearing this, the man was also stunned. He scratched the back of his head and said with a shy smile: "It hurt a lot at first, but now, I'm used to it." “Oh, by the way, my name is Yan Yan, what do you call me?” Although he is wrapped in flames, Yan Yan looks very handsome, with black hair and eyes, like a sunny and cheerful boy. And his enthusiastic attitude is one of the best among the people Xia En has met. “My name is Shane, and I am the captain of the [Black Swan].” As soon as Xia En finished introducing himself, Yan Yan said excitedly: "So you are the captain of that ship, how awesome!" “No other ship has docked in this [Han Iceland] for many years.” “Also, your ship is very beautiful, and it is very strong at first glance.” “Just...a little bit small.” “But it doesn’t matter, the little ones are cute too…” Yan Yan couldn't seem to stop once he started speaking, and his words came out like a barrage of cannonballs. It may also be because he hasn't spoken to other people for a long time, so he seems a bit talkative. After hearing these words, most of Xia En's worries dissipated. His intuition told him that Yan Yan had no ill intentions at all. He waved to him purely out of curiosity and excitement. Thinking of this, Xia En waved in the direction of the [Black Swan], indicating that they could go ashore. At the same time, Xia En asked: "Is there anyone else besides you on [Ice and Snow Island]?" "Yes, I have." Yan Yan said frankly: "There is a small village in the southwest, but..." Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xia En was a little curious: "Just?" Yan Yan sighed: "The people in the village are not very good-tempered, and their relationship with me is very bad." “If it is not necessary, I suggest…” Suddenly, Yan Yan’s words stopped abruptly. He looked at the darkening sky above his head and said with certainty: "A snowstorm is coming soon!" “You guys come and hide with me!” “Snowstorm?” Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed: "Is this true?"
Yan Yan was in a strange mood: "Of course, what did I lie to you for?" "Very good!" Xia En's heart was pounding and he said to Yan Yan: "You take my crew to avoid the wind and snow, I have more important things to do." After saying that, he ran away in the direction of the Black Swan, leaving Yan Yan messy in the gradually raging cold wind. "…Huh? What does that mean?" (End of this chapter)
