The flying ship to the castle in the sky -

"Fourteen!! That pretending imp is definitely only fourteen years old!! Captain Nask looked at the slowly moving scenery around him and said very firmly.

Elaine blinked her big eyes and looked at Nask in surprise, judging from the slightly immature voice of the employer, everyone knew that the employer was not very old, how did Nask determine how old the employer was?

Lucio, who was beside him, nodded thoughtfully, and asked Nask curiously: "Judging from the extremely weak energy fluctuations on his body, I can only tell that he is an ordinary child with a thin body, how do you know his specific age?" ”

Nask stroked his chin, looking unfathomable, and explained to Lucio and Elaine: "Even if he lives on his own, he even bought a stateroom for our ferry tickets, don't you wonder how an ordinary child can come up with so much money?" The only explanation is that he is an important member of a big family, or even a young master from a big family. ”

"I've heard that the heirs of some big families will have a trial at the age of fourteen, such as destroying the zombie mushroom king in the depths of the ant cave, not relying on guards and bodyguards, and reaching the Baicao Hall alone, etc., the difficulty of the trial for capable heirs will be higher, and those like our employer, who can neither vindictive nor magical, will get the task of going to the priest's forest." Nask held his head up triumphantly and tirelessly continued to explain to his companions.

At this time, Elaine made a pause gesture, and she asked Nask in confusion, "Isn't the Priest's Forest a dangerous place in the depths of Shenmu Village?" Wouldn't it be to send Grar there to his death? ”

"Elaine, don't you know? The last few weeks have been the breeding season for monsters in Shenmu Village, and the frequency of monster infestation is very low, as long as it does not directly break into the monster's lair, the possibility of being attacked by monsters is very small, so the captain is very happy after grabbing this task, this task can almost be said to be equivalent to giving money for nothing......." Lucio leaned on the railing and replied to Elaine in surprise.

Listening to the answers of her companions, Elaine played with her fingers in embarrassment, she never understood why the captain chose to take on such a long-distance and high-risk mission........

Just as the atmosphere of the three of them began to stiffen, a shrill siren suddenly sounded.

This is....... Sirens of the Demon Ship Attacking!!

The three of Nask suddenly became vigilant, although with their strength, they no longer had to be afraid of the Bat Demon, but if there were too many of them, there was still a risk of overturning.

So, the three of them began to take out their weapons and walked cautiously in the direction of the stern........

On the other side, the bow of the flying ship -

After hearing the alarm, Xingyun frowned fiercely, under normal circumstances, the flying ship from Treasure Island would have an elder above one hundred and twenty years old, but maybe due to various reasons, there was no elder on the flying ship this time.

To deal with the attacking bat demons, I am afraid it will also depend on the adventurers who take this flying ship.

One, two...... Four!

A total of four bat demons flew out of the demon ship and attacked the flying ship, and the passengers of the flying ship scrambled to the central cabin protected by the barrier.

Nebula looked at the Demon Sealing Gloves on his hands in distress, if it weren't for the magic that sealed his own magic power, he would have been able to deal with these Bat Demons by himself.

At this moment, Nebula suddenly felt something tugging at his sleeve, and Nebula looked back to find a plainly dressed little girl hiding behind him in fear.

The little girl trembled and said to Nebula, "Ge...... Master Grar, I'm ...... Let's run away! ”

Nebula glanced at the little girl twice, and then remembered that there was such a little sister who was close to his age with him.

The little girl's name is Rose, and she lives in the civilian area at the bottom of the Enchanted Jungle, and her father, Haast, works as a maintenance worker in the Sky City, and every once in a while Rose goes to the Sky City to spend a few days with her father.

As a civilian, Rose naturally couldn't afford a ticket, so she had to choose to work as a waitress on a flying ship to waive the cost of her ticket.

Although most wealthy people disdain to use these low-status civilians to serve themselves, there are also kind passengers like Nebula who understand the difficulties of waiters and try to use waiters every time they take a boat.

When he sees Rose, Nebula always thinks of Milia's sister in the frozen snowy region, although they look different, but their personalities are very similar.

Nebula smiled and nodded, letting Rose tug at her cuffs and running with Rose to the nearest hatch in the central cabin.

However, Nebula and Rose hadn't run a few steps when a gust of wind struck, and the Bat Demon with huge pitch-black wings appeared in front of Nebula and Rose.

Although Rose had been on several flying ships, she had never seen the Bat Demon, and seeing the terrifying face of the Bat Demon and feeling the suffocating pressure released from the Bat Demon's body, Rose suddenly froze in place, her face pale and unable to move.

Nebula stretched out his left hand to cover Rose's eyes, and said softly to Rose, "Close your eyes, don't open them, it'll be over in a while........"

As he spoke, Nebula swallowed a fiery candy, and then unhurriedly pulled out an orange-red card from the spatial ring........

Flying ship - stern

"This is the final blow!! Bat Demon, take it! Soul Slash!! ”

Nask leaped high, holding a battle spirit halberd that shone with a lilac light, and slashed down at the bat demon with extremely ferocious force, and the sharp blade of the axe instantly cut a huge wound on the bat demon's body.

The bat demon's green blood gushed out from the wound like lava bursting from a crater.

Using the gravity of the slash and the reaction force of the flying leaves, Nask spun in the air for a circle, then slashed at the bat demon's wound again, directly splitting the bat demon in half.

"Bang!"

As the bat demon's corpse fell, the bat demon's green blood dripped like raindrops on the aft deck.

Seeing the fragments (harmonious) corpses of the two batdemons on the deck and the thick green blood all over the ground, even Elaine, who had been in a hundred battles, couldn't help but retch.

At this time, Lucio seemed to think of something terrible, and said to Nask with a pale face and a slight trembling body: "Team....... Captain, the place where the bat demon landed just now seems to be the bow of the ship! I used to see Glaar and his waiter hanging out in the bow of the boat........"

Nask grabbed Lucio by the collar and yelled at Lucio, "Holy! Why didn't you say it earlier!! ”

Nask hurriedly pushed Lucio away, using the flying leaves, and quickly ran towards the stern of the ship.

You must know that Nebula is an escort mission, and if Nebula dies on the way to escort, no matter what the reason, their other half of the remuneration will not be available.

Not only that, but Nebula's death would add a black spot to their Adventure Squad record, making it difficult for them to receive similar escort missions in the future.

Despite the wide size of the flying ship, Nask was able to reach the bow of the ship within half a minute.

When Nask tried his best to run, he was pessimistic that it took him and others three minutes to kill the two bat demons, and in the half minute he rushed over, his employer Glaal was afraid that it was already cold.......

However, when he saw the corpse of the bat demon with green blood flowing from the bow of the ship, Nask breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the bat demon is dead, it means that the employer Glaal may still be alive, maybe the young master has already escaped to the central cabin.

However, the next moment, when Nask looked around, he was shocked to see the Nebula and the waitress little girl lying near the railing of the bow deck, looking at the scenery below the flying ship, talking and laughing.

After the other passengers who had taken refuge in the central cabin found that the bat demon had been cleared, they tentatively walked out of the cabin and out on the deck.

Nask hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and asked Nebula, "Mr. Glar, excuse me a little, did you see the adventurer who fought the bat demon just now?" ”

Of course I saw it, the man was wearing a black tights, holding a blood-colored short knife and was agile, and he was able to solve the bat demon in two or three clicks, and Rose also saw it! Is it? Rose!! Nebula said to Nask without hesitation, and confirmed with Rose as if there was such a person.

At Nebula's suggestion, Rose nodded to Nask, confirming the existence of such a person.

Unskeptical, Nask said goodbye to Nebula and instead observed the bat demon's corpse.

There are six short knife-type knife wounds on the chest of the bat demon corpse, the first four slashes split the chest, and the last two stabs go straight to the heart, which can be inferred to be six consecutive blows completed in a short period of time.

These six consecutive strikes seem to be a whirlwind slash that can be done by ordinary flying heroes who are good at using short knives, but in fact there is a big difference, just looking at the position and depth of the knife marks, you know that this is not something that ordinary whirling slashes can do, and the flying heroes who can use such attacks are probably from the Flying Flower Courtyard, and they are good at double knife flow masters.

Is there such a powerful person hiding in the flying ship?

However, the employer, Grahr, was so bold that he dared to be the first to step out of the cabin.......

Wait a minute! Wrong! This is not normal!!

Shouldn't employers who post escort assignments all be cautious? Or is there something else going on?

Moreover, the expression of the little girl just now was wrong, and there was a feeling that she wanted to speak and stopped, could it be .......

I'm afraid that the employer Glaal is still hiding something, and Glaal must have some connection with the flying man who is good at double knife flow!!

It seems that there are still many secrets on this employer........

(I'm sorry, I've been busy with exams recently, and it's related to my future work, so I can't be distracted~~ I've finished the exam now~~ There shouldn't be any big problem~~~)
