Wizard of science

Li He answered so readily that Devil Alex couldn't help but be stunned.

After staying for a few seconds, Alex looked at Li He and confirmed with some disbelief: "Master, do we really want to get off the boat?"

"Is there any problem?" Li He asked.

"I...of course there is no problem...it's just...even if that woman is a liar, taking a boat with her won't affect us at all, right? There's no need to get off the boat, right?"

"It really doesn't matter."

"why?"

"There are two reasons. The first and secondary reason is that we might get into trouble if we take a boat with her." Li He said.

"Huh?" Alex turned his head and looked at the aristocratic woman. Looking at her frail body, he hummed with some confusion, "She can also cause trouble for us? What if she really dares to lie to us? , mess with us, I must make her look good.

My strength may not have been restored, but it is still very easy to deal with ordinary people. Master, please believe me. "

"Of course I believe you, but... when I say there is trouble, it's not that she is asking for trouble, but that she will cause trouble."

"Cause trouble?"

"If I remember correctly, we have seen each other three times during the past few days of the voyage. And each time, the other party was a mother and daughter, with no servants or male relatives."

"Indeed." The devil recalled and nodded, "But, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Alan, this is not a safe era. Just two aristocratic women, one big and one small, go out. Don't you think it's too dangerous? And the other party has been looking at the back of our ship with worried eyes. He is afraid that someone will chase him. It looks like it's coming up. I won't discuss the specific situation, but there is more than half a chance that danger is approaching. If we continue to be in the same boat with the other party, we will most likely run into trouble.

As for me, in the present situation, there is no special reason, no advantage, and I don't really want to get into trouble, because it is likely to delay our journey to Lensa. It is precisely for this reason that I asked Mayfair and Weier to stay in the Blackstone Castle instead of taking the boat with us. After all, bringing two beautiful little girls is considered a destabilizing factor. "

"But... Master, didn't you say that you kept Miss Feier in the castle so that she could help you process some objects, and Miss Weier is supervising her."

"That's one of the secondary reasons."

"Ouch." The devil nodded, understood, and then asked, "What about the second reason? You said you didn't want to take a boat with that woman. There are two reasons. What is the second reason?"

"The second reason is also the most important." Li He looked at the ship heading to the dock road getting closer and closer, "Next we will go to Dust Town. Dust Town is a relatively developed commercial town, and there are many things I need. I need to purchase a batch of things, especially the glass containers produced.”

"That's it..." Alex finally understood why Li He was so happy - the noble mother and daughter were only responsible for a small part of the reason for getting off the ship, and more of it was because they wanted to buy things.

After a while, the "Captain Griffith's Daughter", under the control of the sailors, slowly slowed down and docked at the Dust Town Pier.

The first mate of the ship walked out, a tall man with a scar on his face, and announced loudly that he would temporarily stop at the dock for thirty minutes to simply replenish supplies, let passengers at their destination disembark, and let passengers waiting at the dock board. .

As the first mate finished speaking, the ship became busy, the sailors were busy carrying supplies, and the passengers were going up and down the gangplank.

Li He glanced at it and said, "Let's get off the boat."

"Yes, Master." Alex didn't have any objections and followed Li He off the ship and entered Dust Town.

…

After that, Li He stayed in Dust Town for several hours. When it was almost dark, he finished purchasing a series of items including glass containers, and returned to the dock with Alex.

The "Captain Griffey's Daughter" had already sailed away, and another newer ship, the "Gray Bell", had just anchored and parked beside it.

Similar to the operation of the "Captain Griffey's Daughter", the "Gray Bell" is under the command of the boatswain, with a large number of crew members carrying supplies, and passengers boarding and disembarking along the gangplank.

Li He and Alex followed the flow of people and walked to the shore. Before Li He could give any instructions, Alex walked towards the boatswain who was taking command very sensibly.

After a few simple exchanges, Alex offered three times the shipping fee of an ordinary person. The boatswain immediately changed from impatient to respectful. He invited Li He and Alex to board the boat with a smile on his face, and placed them in the middle of the ship. Arranged for a quiet ensuite cabin.

The two settled down, and the boat quickly set off, sailing out of Dust Town in the night, following the Green Creek River, entering the Lemmon River, and heading straight north to the end of the river - a place located on the seaside that was completely different from Alex's memory. Different Lensa.

But after driving for a while, exclamations suddenly came from outside the cabin, and people could faintly hear shouting: "There is a shipwreck!"

"careful!"

"It's so miserable..."

"How many people will die..."

Alexis was standing in front of the window of the cabin in the suite, glanced outside, and said, "Master, look quickly."

Li He looked out at the water surface of the Lemon River and saw a huge wooden boat leaning in the river.

Half of the volume sank underwater, and the remaining half ignited with blazing flames. The orange flames covered the rich blood color of the water and illuminated most of the night sky.

"It's Captain Griffith's Daughter. Master, you are right." Alex looked at Li He and said in surprise, "Something really happened. It seems that it was robbed. Not only did people kill people, but they also If the boat is burned down, no one, including the mother and daughter, should be able to survive. If we hadn't changed the boat, it would have been really troublesome."

"Yeah." Li He nodded lightly, didn't say anything more, and didn't care too much.

He had only been on the "Captain Griffith's Daughter" briefly, and had only a short-term passenger relationship with the captain, and had no other contact with him.

The accident on the ship really didn't affect him too much. At most, he was a little curious about whether it was the water thieves who caused such a tragic result, or the person who he guessed was the one who was chasing the noble mother and daughter.

He was about to withdraw his gaze and focus on important matters, when suddenly there was another exclamation from outside: "What is that?"

"Is it a bug?"

"So many bugs."

"What are these bugs doing, are they crazy..."

Li He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the front deck of the burning "Captain Griffith's Daughter".

It can be seen that because the ship was severed from the middle, a large number of parts were damaged. Some parts were burning, and other parts were broken into wooden boards of different sizes and floating around.

At this time, densely packed half-finger-long black bugs crawled out of the water one after another and crawled towards the floating board. Finally, the surface of the board was covered with a dark patch of black bugs, which made people feel palpitated.
