[comprehensive] red tide

As Mary said, the brilliance of the night when the moon is at its fullest is indeed extremely brilliant.

The warship, Honora. Goddess of Dawn, sailed away from the port, and the long whistle accompanied by the sound of the tide spread to the far end. The low and sad signal kicked off the grand ceremony.

The full moon has just risen, and the sea covered by the radiance of silver gauze is as bright as day, but as it gradually fades away, Yishenlu under the moonlit night loses its luster and looks extremely bleak.

I stood stiffly on the rear deck of the warship, looking at the silhouette that was getting smaller and smaller. I don't know how long it took, and a series of loud noises were made in the distant sea, as if the sky and the earth were about to burst, and the vibration was transmitted through the tide.

But there is no fire, only heat mixed with ashes, carried between the breath by the sea breeze.

"In twenty or ten minutes, the Honora will bombard the island." The commander of the warship, Brigadier General Metakenro, walked out of the shadows, his clothes rustling and his steps steady.

He stood not far from me, and quietly looked at Yi Shenlu at the junction of the sea and the sky, "I heard that the moonlight kapok only grows in places that are indifferent to the world. If it weren't for the invasion of pirates, it might be able to spread all over the great route." islands."

There was a strange meaning in the squinting eyes, and the knuckle fingers rested lightly on the handle of the knife.

"If there's nothing wrong, Miss will accompany me back to the naval base."

"Why?" I asked softly, and my eyes stopped on something that accidentally exposed a corner of his coat pocket, which looked like an old paper page, but it was not a charcoal drawing buried on the island. I couldn't think of any reason, it would Let the Commodore, who met for the first time, stare at him with such hostile and hesitant eyes.

"Nicole Robin, I suspect that you are a wanted criminal who has been missing for 20 years."

"Please follow me back to confirm your identity." There was a little hesitation between his brows, and he drew a hint of comfort with the corners of his lips, "Don't resist, I don't want to hurt you."

Under the moonlight, the cornflower blue pupils were sharp and bright, and the slowly and silently unsheathed blade reflected the harsh cold light, and I squinted my eyes subconsciously.

…………

There is a beautiful pattern made of silk thread on the handle of the knife, with a thousand-fold curly grass and chaotic pattern blade, hold the handle, and wave it gently from top to bottom, the edge of the blade cuts through the air, and the rhyme is clear and steady.

Putting the knife back into its sheath, I praised without hesitation, "It's a good knife."

Its master was silent.

She lowered her head slightly, her platinum blonde hair seemed to glow in the moonlight, her handsome face was frozen with a look of shock and sadness intertwined, and the beautiful cornflower blue lost its vitality.

Sighing silently, I knelt down, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, my conditioned reflex has always been faster than my thoughts." I closed my blue eyes, which were quietly wide open, and took out from the pocket of his blood-soaked coat A paper?

Spread it out, and see the contents above clearly by the moonlight.

One copy, wanted warrant.

The frayed corners of the page looked like it was old, with the face of a little girl printed on it, seven or eight years old, with a pair of frightened and vigilant eyes...

Nicole Robin, seventy-nine million.

Aha~ I have an impression of this thing, to be precise, I once had a strong hatred for it, because of it, raised my imaginary goddess, and the beginning of a bumpy life.

In the Two-dimensional world, Nicole Robin was born in Xihai O'Hara, the son of the devil.

I was misidentified again, hehe~hehehe~

I covered my face with one hand and laughed softly.

After a long time, the boiling smile in his chest gradually calmed down. He stood up, threw away the wanted warrant crumpled up in his hand, and tilted his head to look at the aura silently lurking in every corner nearby.

"I didn't want to be too extreme at first, but unfortunately, I'm in a terrible mood tonight."

The sea breeze blew my robes and made a whimpering sound, as if someone was weeping in the distant sky. Looking at the eyes of these people who surrounded me with undisguised murderous intent, I let go of all my emotions.

…………

I don't know when the full moon disappeared, and everything that could be seen in the field of vision turned into a thick dark blue, and the scattered shadows fluctuated gently with the tide, as if about to move.

The fingertips are covered with a slightly greasy liquid, raise your hand to your eyes and look carefully, the warm and happy water slides over your fingers, gathers along your wrist, coils down, and finally hits your feet drop by drop.

I heard my gentle heartbeat, the sound of blood flowing, the waves washing over the hull, and the metal fortress creaking hollowly... Onora Dawn Goddess, there is nothing else, the smell of a living person.

The gradually stronger wind blows the fabric on the body tightly, and the clouds thicken rapidly, carrying boundless darkness across the top of the head, like a dream that cannot be woken up.

Slowly, slowly blinking, I walked to the only place not affected by the chaos, bent down and picked up the long knife with an ivory white scabbard, raised my eyes and complained softly to its owner, "It's all about you not good…"

I also don't want to hurt you, it's your fault... "Why, do you want to fight me with swords?"

The platinum-blonde hair shimmered in the darkness. I straightened up, stared blankly for a long time, pursed the corners of my mouth, and turned my head; after walking a certain distance, I caught a glimpse of something strange from the corner of my eye, stopped, and turned my head slightly.

I don't know when, in the night smudged with thick ink, wisps of silver glow gently float in the air.

Like moonlight falling into the world, or like a stream emitting soft light, gradually, more and more silver threads appear and disappear, extending from afar, flowing quietly through the darkness, and flowing to the unknown end.

Squint your eyes, follow the light path and gaze far into the distance. For a long time, indescribable joy fills your empty atrium. This is the moonlight kapok migrating along the sea breeze.

Sure enough, Mary has received the letter, right?Presumably at this time, even if Yishenlu has died, the two people who have been separated for 50 years must be watching this scene the same way, right?

…………Dividing line…………

When there was a white belly in the sky, I swung my oars with sweat like rain, trying to struggle in the boundless blue.

The warship - Honora. Goddess of Dawn has long since disappeared. I took a lifeboat, a roll of sea charts, some food, a few pointers and that beautiful katana from it, and left it in the night. middle.

I prefer being able to return to ashes to ashes to ashes to the cold and dark bottom.

The sentimentality was quickly forgotten, and now that I have worked hard for several hours and still see nothing, the depressed part of my mood quickly ferments, expands, and reaches its peak.

Stretching my neck and looking around, the sea and sky are all blue, and I can't see any ships or other shadows. I don't know whether it is because I haven't left Yishenlu sea area, or for some other reason, the sea is calm.

Frustrated, I threw away the oars, took out the cloak and put it on, picked up the food and the knife in one hand, and summoned the reference books at the same time. Such a labor-intensive thing is not suitable for me at all.

Originally, I didn't plan to use the spell card so soon. I thought it would be best to use the lifeboat to drift for a while, and it would be best to get on the boat I met, so I could take a rest by the way...

Now it seems that it really doesn't work, the place of the great route is not suitable for sailing alone.

Close your eyes to sense the coordinates of the breath, choose the place with the clearest feeling, and release the spell card.

In an instant, the body lost weight slightly...

…………

When I arrived in Salomon, I took a special look at the sky, and it was noon on my head; I breathed a sigh of relief, and walked slowly along the busiest street outside the port.

When passing by the fruit stand, I bought a newspaper by the way, glanced at the date on it, and finally calmed down the anxiety in my heart. When the card was released, the sun had not risen in the morning, and the arrival at the destination was at noon, which was almost the same as expected.

Since I left Tahiti, I have paid special attention to the time wherever I go. Within a certain distance, the time it takes to locate the destination of the gas-stained object varies from time to time, but there will never be the huge error before.

After flipping through the newspaper, I casually returned it to the old woman who set up the stall, and shook my hand in the vigilant eyes of the other party, expressing that I would not do such a thing as asking for the money back.

After getting a friendly expression from her, I touched my pocket and continued walking forward with my things in hand.

Salomon, which is equivalent to a commercial center, is very prosperous. It is said that the goods of the entire route are collected and circulated here. In this way, the underground trading should also be active.

After wandering around several commercial streets on the island for a long time, I turned into a knife shop that looked good on the street, went straight to the counter, put the samurai sword on it, and interrupted the conversation between the boss and the customer next to me.

"Estimate the price."

When I went to the island to buy a newspaper, I found out that I was almost penniless when I touched my pocket. In order to prevent embarrassing things like being chased and killed by the store for nothing, the most urgent thing is to get money, (==).

I have two very valuable things with me, Mary's necklace to keep as a souvenir, and I choose one of the two to sell the booty I got from the naval commander.

…………

The shrewd-looking boss glanced at the knife out of the corner of his eye, and then took a light breath, but before his hand touched the scabbard, the guest next to him snatched it away.

After looking over and over for a long time, he held the handle of the knife and pulled it out gently, with the cold tip pointing upwards, the man whispered in a rather aggressive tone, "Little Karasuma-shaped too-blade, thousands of curly grass and chaotic patterns, no inscription cut…"

"Sure enough, it is one of the 21 craftsmen of the Great Quick Sword, the famous sword, Zhenzong." After putting the knife into the sheath, he was still holding it firmly in his hand, he turned his face to me, his eyes burst out with hunger/thirst, as if seeing a stunning beauty Beauty, or stripped/naked.

Of course, what he covets is not me, who is black from head to toe in a hood, but the one in his hand, which belongs to my spoils.

"You like it?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Please be sure to give it to me!" The attitude was firm and the tone was sincere, as if the son-in-law came to see his mother-in-law for the first time.

A man with a strange appearance, dressed in a very unique way, with a suit and top hat, a knotted neckline, black marks from the bridge of the nose to the cheeks that look like downward arrows... "Make an offer." I raised my chin and nodded. The so-called [Zhenzong].

I don't comment on personal appearance and taste, as long as his pocket can satisfy/satisfy wishes.

The man stepped forward excitedly, his lips trembled and was about to say something when the boss beside him intervened, "The holder of the famous sword Zhenzong is the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters, MacTackenroe."

"Aristocratic, young and promising."

The expression on the man's face froze instantly, and he took half a step back in surprise.

I stepped forward to retrieve Zhenzong, nodded and agreed with the boss, "He is a handsome guy with a lot of taste..." With my empty hand, I rubbed my chin with my fingers, "Okay~ The price is up to you, I will wait for the money. "

The expressions of the boss and the man suddenly became extremely strange.
