"The Kono has been attacked, probably from the cargo hold on the bottom floor. It is not safe for you to continue searching there," Griffith said. "We will return to the Flying Leaf immediately."

"Aren't you going to check again?" Several sailors with Lana looked at each other, "Maybe there are passengers hiding in the lower cabin."

Galadia also nodded and looked at Griffith with inquiring eyes.

"Maybe yes, but the enemies who attacked the Cono may also be hiding in the bottom warehouse," Griffith said. "I don't want to rush deep there to explore before being fully prepared; on the other hand, if we deploy

Too much power coming here will damage the Feiye's guarding strength."

At this time, a small boat on the Feiye had already approached.

"What happened?" Ophelia and Midian Maier stood on the boat, shouting on guard, "Where are the crew and passengers?"

"The Kono was attacked, and the sailors and passengers are missing." Griffith stopped the two Shutorals who wanted to climb onto the side of the ship to support them. "We did not conduct a complete search, and the passengers may be in danger of being attacked."

It is still hidden in the bottom of the ship, or it may leave. This is not important, now we all return to the Flying Leaf, and use the rope to drag Connor to a safe area for further inspection."

"How about that?"

"There may be survivors in the cabin!"

"The attacker may still be on board!"

The sailors, Galadia and Ophelia yelled together, strongly disagreeing with Griffith's approach. Lana and Midianmaiya did not participate in the conversation, and their eyes were cast behind everyone and into the darkness nearby.

, in case danger arises there.

"Otherwise? Are you going to use the few manpower you have on hand to divide into several teams to explore the lower cabin and be killed one by one in a strange environment and darkness?" Griffith shook his head and said, "This is not far from the coast of the Whispering Forest.

Far away, the attack on the sailors and passengers may be some kind of monster that we don’t know about. There are only a few professors and assistants on the Flying Leaf, and except for them and the trainee knights, the others have no experience in dealing with mutant creatures."

Ophelia and the sailors were shaken. They looked at the thick darkness around them and finally began to fix the ropes to the Corno.

"But~ we only checked one cabin," Galadia bit her lip, looked at Griffith and said, "The passengers may be hiding in the lower cabin, unable to call for help or injured..."

"Maybe," Griffith patted the elf girl on the shoulder, "but the reality is that we have to make a choice. The people on the Flying Leaf are equally important as the passengers on the Kono."

A rope was quickly fixed to the bow of the Kono. The other end of the rope was fixed to the stern of the Flying Leaf to ensure that it could be towed.

After completing this work, Griffith immediately urged everyone who was still hesitating to return to the Flying Leaf.

Ms. Marian listened to Griffith's brief report, then looked at the diary of the captain of the Curno brought back, and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose with a solemn expression: "I hope we have made the right choice. Inform the captain.

, speeding back to Homonworth. Shutoral, from now on, I need you to take turns on duty and not let go of any signs of abnormality. Boys, I need some volunteers to strengthen patrols between cabins, in pairs.

"

"Yes, ma'am."

The trainee knights present accepted the order in unison.

"We need weapons," Isius said, "We only have wands, and we didn't bring any of Shutoral's weapons."

Several brave freshmen also stood up. They were gesturing with wands that might not be of much use. They felt that this thing was not as useful as a stick.

Ms. Marianne pushed up her glasses, her face silent and solemn: "It seems necessary to allow some necessary weapons to be included in the checked luggage."

"We have." Ophelia raised her hand and said.

"have what……"

Under the gaze of the provost and freshmen, Griffith took off his coat, revealing his gleaming mail, daggers and throwing knives.

The other trainee knights conjured daggers and daggers from their coats, boots and luggage compartments like magic.

"The admission notice should have stated that weapons are not allowed," Ms. Marian sighed, and suddenly her eyes widened, "Wait a minute, Miss Ishtar, how could you bring such a dangerous thing here?"

Ophelia opened the box containing the cello, took out the tip and string of the longbow, removed the arrow shaft and sharp arrowhead, and assembled them dexterously:

"The school rules do not prohibit me from carrying bent wooden sticks, gryphon sinews and iron crafts~"

Ms. Marianne was speechless for a moment, and suddenly she found Lana opening Fiona's suitcase and taking out some strange things from the mezzanine: "Jean, please explain what this is?"
