Chapter 21 Strange Fish

Philip was not as happy as the other crew members and passengers. He pushed Gogia away from his body, ignored the pain in his back and palms, and quickly ran to the side of the ship and looked at the ocean within his sight.

He constantly changes his position, looking for areas and objects that may contain abnormalities.

Suddenly, he heard a dull cry.

He was startled for a moment, discerned the direction from which the sound came, and ran towards the bow of the "Asky Bird".

The dull chirping gradually became sharper, and Philip saw blood flowers emerging from the blue sea in the distance, and a larger shadow rising.

The shadow quickly became clear and turned into a strange four-eyed fish with gray-blue spheres instead of scales and a long, pointed mouth.

This strange fish is not small in size. It is twisting and struggling in the sea, shaking its tail fin and water droplets crazily.

There was no wind or waves around it, and the seawater surged to a height of five or six meters and was heavily photographed.

The sharp screams subsided slightly, and the four-eyed monster dived back into the water with a real sense of fear, and quickly swam away.

The remnants of its kind followed closely behind.

Lumian saw this scene from the window of first-class room No. 5 before he changed into dry clothes as if no one else was around.

It was precisely because he discovered that the "Hateful Movement" triggered the fear of the four-eyed monster fish that he directly "teleported" it back instead of "jumping" into the air again, taking advantage of the opponent's surface to surface and covering it with saturated firepower.

Fear will make the monster flee, rather than stay where it is, become ferocious and continue to cause huge waves.

"Huh..." When the four-eyed strange fish completely left the sea, Phillip breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it.

"It's okay, it's okay..." He whispered a few words instinctively, opened his arms, and said piously, "Praise the sun!"

"Do you know that fish?"

Suddenly, a voice came from beside Phillip.

Philip looked in shock and saw Louis Berry with black hair, green eyes and profound features.

His lover Gogia was standing at the entrance of the cabin, wanting to come over but not daring to approach the side of the ship.

"It's the 'Alien Swordfish', haha, this is the name given by scholars. On the sea, they have another name, 'Death Navigator'." Philip pressed his hand on the side of the ship and answered Lumian's question.

"Death Navigator," how come I haven't heard of it?" Lumian said frankly.

To be honest, he didn't know much about extraordinary creatures. He had mainly dealt with extraordinary people, evil god believers and out-of-control people before.

Phillip glanced at him, exhaled, and said with a smile:

"This is a fish creature that has only appeared in recent years. Many sailors call it the devil of the sea."

It only appeared in recent years... Lumian frowned.

To him, such descriptions often mean that they are related to the erosion of evil gods, changes in the environment, or the occurrence of disasters.

"Did it just appear in the Misty Sea recently, or is there a legend that there was no such fish in the Five Seas?" 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 enough about the Raging Sea, the Sonia Sea and the Polar Sea. But I did not serve among those crews, pirates and

My colleagues in other fleets had heard of similar strange fish until a few years ago."

Couldn't it be a fish contaminated by the evil god? Lumian suddenly felt that it was a wise choice not to kill the "alien swordfish" just now.

That would not only expose his extraordinary abilities in front of many crew members and passengers, but also lurk other dangers, and would probably result in little gain.

A pile of garbage that can only be used to feed Ludwig!

Seeing that Louis Berry no longer bothered with this detail, Philip continued: "The alien swordfish will surface on a fog-free night and hang there vertically, as if quietly gazing at the stars. Many sailors and pirates will

I once saw such a scene and was so frightened that I thought they were summoning some kind of evil creature.

"Think about it, the sea surface is pitch black late at night, the red moon in the sky is very pale, only the stars illuminate it, and the twisted and terrifying fish heads are silently poking out of the sea surface, motionless, arranged in different patterns... Yes

Everyone will be afraid!

Looking up at the stars... Could it be that they were contaminated by the power of the evil god for some reason? Lumian thought for a few seconds and said, "Why are they called 'Death Navigators'?"

Philip rubbed his cheek: "After looking at the starry sky, the 'alien swordfish' will stay on the water, line up in two rows, form an arrow, and swim towards a certain place in the sea, as if they are guiding unknown creatures.

"Some pirates, adventurers and treasure hunters think this may point to something very valuable or a hidden treasure, so they try to follow the 'alien swordfish' to see where they end up.

"None of the ships that did this came back, and their crews disappeared.

"So, we all call the 'Alien Sailfish' the 'Death Navigator'."

Speaking of this, Philip sighed and said: "I once heard some sailors say that the 'Death Navigator' seemed to be able to control the waves. Now it seems that this rumor is likely to be true, and it is much, much more powerful than I expected.

"Well, the 'Alien Sailfish' just now is probably the more powerful one among all the 'Death Navigators'.

"However, there has never been a case where a 'Death Navigator' actively attacked a human ship before..."

Lumian laughed: "Maybe there was an attack, but no one survived, so the news was not passed on."

Philip was stunned for a moment and said: "That's right. Once the ship capsizes or is smashed in huge waves like the one just now, except for a few people with special abilities, no one can survive."

He paused and said to himself: "Did the Big Trouble cause the Death Navigator's attack?"

"It's possible." Lumian responded sincerely.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the "death pilots" had not returned, Philip turned around and faced the passengers crowded at the window and cabin entrance. The crew member said: "Alarm cleared!"

"The weather is normal!"

The humans who had cheered just now cried out again because they got the definite answer, praising the gods they believed in.

Philip looked back and said thoughtfully: "The Death Navigator was eventually scared away by that big trouble?"

"I feel like it's scared."

"It's possible." Lumian was still so sincere.

With such an episode, the "Bird" increased its speed and arrived at Faling Port, the capital of the Misty Sea Islands, before night really came.

The sun hung behind Santique Island, dyeing the ocean in the distance, the vast forests and the brown volcano that had been dead for many years red, majestic and gorgeous.

"Farin" means aroma and sweetness in the indigenous language of the Misty Sea Islands. Santic Island is rich in spices such as cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and sugar-extracting plants such as sugar cane. Its fruits are mainly bananas and grapes.

The rest are planted with cotton.

Looking at the buildings with white walls and red roofs on the coastline, the masts, the sails and the large number of chimneys still spraying mist in the port, Lumian chuckled and said: "I gave this

Emperor Russell, who named this city, may not have thought that 'Falin' would become the last remnant of the indigenous language."

Under the policy of cultural erosion from generation to generation, the current people of the archipelago can only speak Intis language. Since several generations ago, they no longer know their mother tongue.

The primitive tribes living in the mountains and forests may still have elders who speak indigenous languages, but there is only one language in all colonial cities and surrounding plantations.

That is Intis language.

Of course, in the Misty Sea Islands, there will be some very rare Intis words. They are the product of the combination of Intis and indigenous languages. Outside of here, few Intis people use them.

"Do you want to get off the ship?" Lugano asked Lumian.

The "Asuka" will not leave this port until tomorrow afternoon.

"Of course, when you come to Falin, how can you not taste the famous Jinsom here?" Lumian said with interest, "Are you taking 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, known as 'Golden Som'.

Lugano originally wanted to follow his employer, feeling more secure with Lumian, who was both capable and decisive enough, but the "doctor" thought about it for a moment and thought it was better to stay on the ship.

My employer is very powerful, but he is also very capable of causing trouble!

After leaving enough money for dinner and enough food for two late-night snacks for Ludwig, Lumian walked down the gangway of the Bird in a white shirt, black vest, dark jacket and trousers of the same color.

”.

It's early autumn in Trier, and the temperature is already cold, but it seems like it's still late summer in the Misty Sea Islands, with heat flowing in the air, which is quickly blown away by the blowing sea breeze.

Lumian strolled out of the port and saw an old indigenous lady with brown skin and wrinkles selling golden straw hats across the street.

It is woven with a local plant called "gold leaf" and is very popular among believers of the "Eternal Sun". If you buy one, you will have the wonderful illusion that the sun is on your head.

Lumian thought it was interesting to wear a straw hat, so he bought one for 5 Ricks, covered his head, and walked slowly to a nearby square.

There is a sun obelisk in the center of the square, and multiple notice boards are erected on the edges, with a large number of wanted posters posted on them.

Lumian stopped, put his hands in his pockets, and before the sun had completely set, he glanced at the wanted posters and wrote down the reward amounts one after another:

"The Mysterious Queen', one of the kings of the sea... has a bounty of 100 million ferkin.

"King of the Five Seas" Nast, one of the kings of the sea... has a bounty of 20 million Firkin.

"Queen of the Stars" Cattleya, one of the kings of the sea... has a bounty of 11 million Firkin.

"The Immortal King' Agaritu, one of the kings of the sea... has a bounty of 4 million Firkin.

"Queen of Disease" Tracy, one of the kings of the sea... has a bounty of 3 million ferkin.

"The King of Twilight, Bulatov Ivan, one of the kings of the sea...the reward is 2.6 million ferkin..."

The adventurer next to him saw Lumian carefully reading the wanted notice for the Six Kings of the Sea, and couldn't help but joke: "What, do you want to hunt the Kings of the Sea?"
