Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

An ocean freighter is definitely the worst place Werther has ever been.

Everything is crowded in the small cabin, while outside is the boundless sea.The water flow that was supposed to keep his mental sea calm has completely become an amplifier, smell, sound, touch and even taste...

Everything on the ship was repeatedly reflected into his mind by the endless ocean.

He was so far away from his city that he had completely lost touch with the 'Tower' and could no longer take a breather from familiar surroundings.

Werther lay in the small and dark cabin on the bottom floor, curled up his body uncontrollably, closed his eyes, and tried to resist the overly complicated information constantly intruding into his mind.

Bah!Bah!Bah!

"Davent, Mr. Davent? Dinner is ready, please come out to eat." The iron door of the cabin was knocked vigorously, and the crew shouted in broken Rhodes outside.

He opened his eyes again, feeling a churn in his stomach, the voice outside the door sounded so clear yet so vague.Across the steel plate, the smell of food in the cafeteria on the upper floor can no longer be ignored.Werther gritted his teeth and got up enduring the nauseating dizziness.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." He replied loudly, without any trace of discomfort in his voice.

No country will accept another country's 'Dark Sentinel' to set foot on their territory. Such behavior will undoubtedly be regarded as a provocation and even a war.

So Werther gave up his own name and borrowed the name of 'Davent'. Now he is a businessman who wants to cross the ocean. With a large amount of goods, he plans to go to the distant and strange Eastern Continent to make a fortune. .

Traveling on an ocean-going freighter is not without risk, and anything can happen at sea.It is only a trivial matter for the captain to change his mind temporarily, and it is not uncommon to meet pirates.

Witte employed a fleet of sailors on a temporary basis, but this employment relationship was fragile and must be managed by complete dominance and strong leadership.

So he can't show any weakness until he finds Avery.

The canteen on the ship has the smell of fishy and rotten fish unique to the ocean. Werther can feel a huge mouse in the back kitchen crawling over the deteriorating vegetables. Sweat and saliva mixed in the air.

He glides down the food expressionlessly but quickly, ignoring the churning stomach and the tormented peregrine in the sea of ​​​​spirits, which is very familiar with this environment.

In fact, this ship is already the third freighter that Werther has boarded. Since the last time he dreamed that his little guide had a fish tail, he locked the scope of his search to the sea.

The legend about the "mermaid" has a long history on Rhodes Continent. After in-depth research, Werther discovered that this mysterious race that only appears in fairy tales and rumors of sailors, most of them have a graceful figure, a human body and a fish tail. Living in the sea where sailors haunt, it will confuse passing ships with its singing.

These descriptions coincide with his little guide, and it is also the basis for Werther's firm belief that Eli must be a 'mermaid' and live in a certain sea area with his people.

Then he began a long journey of searching for people at sea.The first thing was the offshore area of ​​Rhodes mainland. He bought a passenger ship and spent 3 months circling the coastline, but found nothing.

Then, he set his sights on the sea area farther away, and according to the illusory rumors, he went to the ocean that only large freighters would pass through, or the mysterious sea area where no one set foot.

A rainy day at sea is a sailor's nightmare. In the huge waves, the seemingly indestructible cargo ship is as small as a fallen leaf drifting with the waves, and will be torn to pieces by the strong wind at any time.

Werther used ropes to fix himself on the iron bed. The bed in the cabin is special, and it is firmly welded to the steel plate.The cargo ship was floating in the waves, and he could hear the crew members praying or sobbing softly through the layers of iron plates.

There were lightning, thunder and storms outside, but he only felt extremely peaceful in his heart.

He closed his eyes.

In the deep sea, his little guide was waiting for him there, full of vitality as always, like a cluster of never-extinguishing flames, but there was a lot of worry in the eyes looking at him.

He must look bad now, Werther smiled wryly.

The search has been going on for nearly a whole year. Insomnia and irregular diet have made his body go from bad to worse, and the bad environment on board has also made his spirit more and more tense.

His appearance in the dream was strictly a projection of his spirit, he must have looked very tired, maybe also scruffy, after all...there wasn't that much water on the boat for him to wash.

Avery swung his tail and met Werther who was falling.

He looked very bad, his short silver hair was messily pasted on his forehead, his complexion was obviously pale, and his sharp smoky gray eyes were bloodshot.

After such a long time, no matter how slow-witted Eli was, he discovered that the human being named 'Witt' he dreamed of is real, and...maybe, maybe, lives in a certain country on land .

'Land' is a very strange place for Avery.He had heard his brothers say that the Landmen were cunning and wicked, and that they would catch mermaids and keep them in glass jars, to torture them, or to admire them.

But Werther is so good, so tender, and he can feel the connection between them, so close and inseparable.So when Werther said he would come to him, he agreed without much hesitation.

Even... some expectations, well, very much expectations.

Thinking about it now, at that time, neither Werther nor himself underestimated the difficulty of implementing this matter.

They tried many ways to determine each other's position.The time of tides, the orientation of stars, the positions of the upper and lower moons and the sun, the direction of ocean currents, the biological characteristics of the seabed...

He even ventured to the surface of the sea and eavesdropped on the conversations of nearby ships, trying to determine what the name of the sea area he was in was called by the 'land people'.

But he didn't understand the language of the sailors. They guessed that maybe they didn't speak each other's language, but they didn't use language to communicate, but their thinking itself, so they didn't realize this.

None of these methods worked.

Sometimes, Avery even suspects that Werther is a figure he imagined again, or that they simply do not exist in the same world.

It was Werther who convinced him time and time again, proving his existence time and time again.

However, inevitably, in Avery's eyes, the meeting, which is worth looking forward to and filled him with joy, has become a rally race with no end in sight, and every meeting in a dream will be accompanied by more... Silence and worry.

But he never said that sentence: give up, don't come to me.

He was reluctant.

He didn't dare to ask Werther how his search was going and how long it would take for them to meet, so he could only secretly plan to find him on land.Avery has never been a mermaid who sits and enjoys what he gets. Since he can't wait for Werther to find him, he takes the initiative to find Werther.

The only obstacle for him to go to land now is 'adulthood'.As long as he becomes an adult, he can have two legs. At that time, he only needs to go ashore and go all the way to the place called 'Rods'.

However, he didn't intend to tell Werther about this.

These days, he has fully understood Werther's overly strong desire to protect him. I don't know if his mermaid posture gave him the illusion that Mr. "Dream Lover" of his family always treats him like a cub and chooses to face him alone. For all suffering and troubles.

This is not right, he wants to share his troubles and sorrows, happiness and joy.Avery thought sweetly at the same time.Looking at Werther with a tired face, he quietly hid the melancholy in his eyes, and smiled obediently at him.

'Wait for me, I'll come to you right away. ' Avery said silently.

However, during the days when Avery waited for adulthood, Werther's spirit finally reached its limit, and the short-lived spiritual connection in the dream could no longer soothe the peregrine falcon in his brain.

Even on rainy days, he couldn't sleep.

Immediately afterwards, his mental strength was gone violently.Peregrine broke free, the 'Dark Sentinel' inside him opened his eyes, and Werther passed out completely.

In the blink of an eye, everyone on the entire ship felt the extreme impact.

The lower crew members closest to Werther's room were the luckiest, they passed out directly, and the rest were much less fortunate.Vomiting is only the slightest, and most people feel more like being run over by a train head-on, with broken bones, crushed internal organs, and backflow of blood...

More than half of the crew immediately lost their mobility, and the cargo ship was completely unable to continue driving, and everyone on board did not know the reason.The captain had to send a radio to request emergency assistance.

At this time, the freighter had been out of Rhodes Port for three days, but fortunately, the rescue message sent by the captain was received by nearby ships and helped them return to the port.

***

When Werther woke up again, he had already returned to the familiar 'high tower', away from the sea and the small cabin, and Rhodes City gave him a solid support.

It was Darvent who brought him back.

According to what he said, at that time, his mental power not only penetrated the people on board, but even affected the 'sentinels' who were closely connected with him in Rhodes City thousands of miles away.

The collapse of his mental strength made Werther see the truth clearly. He will not be able to go to sea again, at least not for a few years.Before meeting the little guide, he might still be brave, but now he will no longer take his spirituality seriously.

Because once he has an accident, the little guide connected to him will also be affected.

Werther could only accept the fact that it might be years before he could meet his little guide.The peregrine screeched sharply in his head, Sentinel's instincts made him angry at his own incompetence.

Just at this moment, Werther felt it, and a huge wave of information hit his mind.

That was the spiritual network used by the sentinels in Rhodes City to send messages. Under his supervision, it firmly covered the sky above the city and was maintained by one 'tower' after another.

But now, that message is so obvious, so loud, suspended high above the top of the spiritual network, no sentinel can ignore its existence.

That is, an advertisement.
