Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

Klein's visit to the Pearl was just an excuse to avoid Sweet.

When I arrived at the port, I found that the atmosphere was not right-a dozen search and rescue boats were busy going back and forth at sea, and put down the drenched drowning people on the shore.

Some of those who fell into the water were still awake. After being rescued, they folded their shoulders and went to the registration office next to them to register.

Some were lying motionless on the ground, and doctors with the town's hospital pattern printed on their clothes went back and forth to examine those who fell into the water, and unconscious people were constantly being carried away on stretchers.

The people on the shore were blocked by a isolation belt tens of meters away from the port. Heyman led a patrol team to maintain order in the port and make way for the doctor. The family members could only anxiously look at the sea, supporting each other and crying.

...the ship sank?

The harbor was completely besieged, and Klein quickened his pace to arrive at the harbor where the Pearl was moored.

Most of the crew members were gathered on the deck, and Nata was there too, observing the sea with a telescope.

Patrick patted her on the shoulder to signal her to look at the shore. The reflective lens barrel of the telescope drew an arc in mid-air, aimed at Klein, and searched around him again.

The boarding board was handed from the deck to the shore, and Klein strode up to the ship in two or three steps.

Nata's first sentence was: "You little follower didn't follow?"

"Let's go." Knowing that she was referring to Mephides, Klein took the binoculars from her hand as he spoke, and asked, "What ship sank?"

One second, Nata was surprised by his answer, and the next second she said seriously: "It's not sinking, it's capsizing. There are all kinds of ships."

The shipwreck location is relatively far away, and the magnification of the telescope is not high enough, so we can only see many search and rescue boats sailing towards the sea level.

Klein froze, turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nata didn't mean to be joking either, she shrugged and said, "Literally, there are passenger ships, cargo ships, and patrol ships. Three of them capsized within four days, all of which were overturned by wind and waves."

As she spoke, she raised her chin towards the sea, "Here, this is the fourth small sightseeing boat from a neighboring country. I heard that there are about [-] tourists on board."

"It's such a big deal, why—"

Nata waved her hand: "It's useless to tell you, and it's none of our business. Aren't you busy with that little girl?"

Klein: "..."

In the past week, he has been concentrating on taking care of Sweet, who is in the metamorphosis period, without going out.

As Nata said, it wouldn't help if he knew.

The sinking of the ship may also be due to problems with the ship's power system or the hull. The capsizing of the ship can only be caused by external forces, either because of storms and tsunamis, or pirates.

Pirates in the waters of Windsor are not rampant, and there are no pirates who are bold enough to attack patrol boats, so it can only be the former.

However, Klein said: "There have been no storms recently."

Even if you have never been out, people who live by the sea will not fail to notice such extreme weather.

Nata: "Yes, so it can only be the fault of the mermaid."

Mermaid?

Klein's heart skipped a beat.

"If it's a mermaid, why are they saving people?" Patrick interjected from the side.

Klein immediately asked, "What saves people?"

Patrick: "A lot of people who fell into the water said that the merman escorted them to the floating objects, and a few who couldn't swim were sent all the way to the shore."

Nata clasped her hands and said, "Then tell me, what makes the sea calm and capsizes the boat? A sea monster?"

"This..." Patrick couldn't speak, and scratched the side of his face with his hand.

Klein was talking to Nata when there was a sudden noise from the shore. Bobby stood at the bow and waved, "Captain! Someone is clamoring to see you!"

At this time, who will come to see him?

Could it be Sweet?

Klein immediately put the binoculars back into Nata's hand, walked towards the bow, and looked out along the side of the ship, only to see a man with beards who looked about 40 or [-] years old was stopped by the harbor.

Klein vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

When the middle-aged man saw him, his eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted, "Klein, it's me!"

Nata followed and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Klein was uncertain and shook his head.

The man wanted to rush to the boat before, but was stopped by several crew members, and his arms were also tied. Now he took a step back and broke free from the restraints, pointing at himself and said, "It's me, we went to O'Leary together seven years ago!"

O'Leary is a small country, adjacent to the Kingdom of Havre.

Klein had been there once seven years ago, and that was his first time traveling far.

He didn't have any sailing experience back then, and he was able to board a cargo ship heading for O'Leary only after he asked a sailor at the port. The appearance of the sailor gradually overlapped with the middle-aged man in front of him.

"You are... Uncle Ed?" Klein remembered.

Uncle Ed: "It's me! Fortunately, fortunately, you still remember me!"

Seeing that he really knew the captain, the two crew members who stopped Uncle Ed didn't stop him anymore.

Klein quickly got off the boat and walked to the shore. After confirming that the middle-aged man in front of him was the one who led him on the voyage back then, he raised his hand and gave him an Embrace.

Surprised: "Where have you been all these years?"

After being recognized by Klein, Uncle Ed was visibly relieved. He glanced at the crew members of the Pearl standing around and watching, and said somewhat cautiously, "I...I went to O'Leary."

No wonder.

After Klein took over the Pearl, he also looked for Uncle Ed. At that time, his old acquaintances in Paloi Port said that he had gone after a woman. No one could tell where he went, so it was finally left alone.

I didn't expect to meet again after so many years.

Uncle Ed was pretentious, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands after he said a few words, his forehead arched and wrinkled because of anxiety.

Klein noticed this, and stopped talking about the past, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Hey, hey," Uncle Ed showed embarrassment. He originally wanted to rekindle the old relationship so that he could ask for help later, but he really couldn't wait, so he said bravely, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he didn't dare to raise his head - Klein had only reached his chin seven years ago, but now he was half a head taller than him, and he had to raise his head if he wanted to speak.

"Do you remember that tavern proprietress?"

Klein only remembered one person, but he forgot what he looked like. He nodded and motioned for Uncle Ed to continue.

Ed didn't know what to do - he had been in Port Paloi for so many years, although he didn't become rich and powerful, at least he lived a smart life with his own ability, his waist was straight, and he almost never asked for help. others what.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than others. Since these few days, he has been begging for help everywhere, and he has been stuttering and opening his mouth for words that he has never said in his previous life, but he has hit a wall again and again. There is really no way, so he remembered his friendship with Klein many years ago. Go here and try your luck.

It's friendship, but it's actually working together for more than a month.

Back then, he interceded with the captain to take Klein to O'Leary, but Klein did a lot of chores on the ship, which was not in vain, and in fact, he didn't get much favor from him.

Besides, today is different from the past, who in the entire Kingdom of Havre has never heard of the name of the Pearl?

Those who have never met Klein have most likely heard of him. Even in the Principality of O'Leary, Klein is quite well-known. I heard that the king of O'Leary even personally received him.

How many good days does he have, why should he take risks for him?

The more I thought about Uncle Ed, the more short of breath he became, and he didn't say a word for a long time, but he broke out in a lot of cold sweat.

Seeing that he was suffocating, Klein had no choice but to follow the words: "Uncle Ed, what's wrong with that lady boss?"

Ed glanced at him quickly, and held together a pair of rough and purple hands that had been torn by the sun and sea water. He gritted his teeth and said, "Her name is Evelyn. I went to O'Leary to marry her." .”

Klein had already guessed it.

Uncle Ed continued: "I came to Port Paloy this time to pick up goods from a ship. I received a letter from Evelyn three days ago, saying that our youngest daughter is sick, and I, I must go back Looking at her, I'm worried that I'm going back late...but now that the sea is closed, I really, really have nothing to do."

After speaking, tears welled up in Uncle Ed's eyes.

Ships capsized one after another at sea, and the ban on navigation is also for the good of the people.

But Uncle Ed's situation cannot be left alone.

Klein thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Ed, don't worry, let me think of a way."
