Chapter 140: The Deck of Sorrows
ps: Modify the wording.
"Without the ability to channel positive energy, it's trouble!" Claymatis. Bot couldn't help but complain after letting go of the wounded man in his arms.
Barrett, who had found a place to sit, leaned his back against the boat, and then seemed to care about his leg at all: "There should be a similar ability in the church!" Boosts a single dispel to a channeling energy that can be used to heal or deal damage at the same time. β
"That task is hard, okay! With Claudia and me, there was no way to complete it. "Claymatis. Bot said as he walked over to another sailor, who was also unconscious.
Barrett, who expertly pulled out a roll of straps from behind him, sprinkled a bottle of holy water directly onto his wound. Frowning slightly at the stimulation of the holy water on the wound, he began to divert his attention by talking: "In that case, Miss Bote, are you going to continue to hire us, or are you going to ask Lady Rielly for help?" β
Claymatis. Bot didn't answer Barrett's topic right away. Silently, she pressed her hand on another dying victim. It wasn't until the other party's cheeks became rosy again that he turned his head and asked, "Say Barrett!" What do you think of me and Claudia? β
"How are you two?" Barrett was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin with a frown. Even the bandaging on his hands stopped.
After a pause of more than a minute, Barrett spoke: "As a female player, you are much more qualified than some of your previous teammates. β
"What do you mean by being a female gamer! Barrett, you're naked, sexist. "Originally, because of Barrett's thoughts, he was going to work for the time being. Bot. After hearing this, he immediately let go of the original patient. Turning his head and glaring at Barrett.
Rielie as a feminist. At this time, he suddenly stepped on Barrett's kick: "Although the little girl Bena did have some minor problems at the beginning." But Barrett, aren't you going too far? β
'You haven't seen the Lady Pararot get nervous!' If you see it, you'll understand what's going on with those living treasures. Although he was reluctant, Barrett knew very well that he could not win by reasoning with women. He only sighed: "Alas! I don't mean to say it's just a matter of facts. If you don't believe me, ask the noodles. β
However, the result of this disaster is naturally the angry glare of Noodle: "I don't have any opinion on those two female companions. When will we meet together, you can judge with your own eyes! β
'When did this kid become so goblin?' Seeing that Barrett, who was not recruited at all by halfling wanderers, he had to find another way to change the topic: "Miss Bot, do you mean that you plan to officially join our blood-stained gray flower mercenary group after this commission is over?" β
"It's not just me, it's Claudia and I joining the Bloodstained Greyflower Mercenary Regiment. That's it! Aren't you welcome? "Claymatis. Bot crossed his hands on his hips, and at the same time, his expression also changed from sunny to cloudy. It seems that Barrett once he spoke up. It's definitely going to make him look good.
Barrett's gaze roamed the deck, "Is this your own plan, or is it the result of negotiations with Miss Auditore." β
Claudia out of the crowd. Auditore interjected: "It's something we both decided together. You just don't take it or not! β
"By the way, did you two eldest ladies really decide to join our poor team? I think you guys entered the game to enjoy life! Barrett asked, scratching his head.
"Claudia, you're here to take over! The wounded over there were almost overwhelmed. I've got to go check it out. "After saying this, Clematis. Bot immediately rushed to the other wounded, and at the same time complained to the sailors on the deck who were still able to move: "Why don't you gather the seriously wounded......"
'I'm going, it's going to play the rhythm of a relay race!' Where did the small temple of our blood-stained gray flower mercenary group attract you two big Buddhas? Barrett, who was muttering in his heart, still greeted his current big donor with a smile.
"We just feel that only by following you can we get in touch with more, more fun and exciting things. Like when we were in Repulse City, those days were dull and boring! "Speaking of which Claudia . Auditore walked up to Barrett, bent down and held out his finger: "But after traveling with you, you will see how long." We've been through so much. This kind of birth is what Clematis and I have always dreamed of. β
And of course, Claudia. Auditore didn't say it directly. At that time, the two of them still felt a little unsatisfied with Rielly's 'joint trial'! These two unscrupulous friends are waiting for the next opportunity to point at the mage with confidence.
But it's like a little ninety-nine between women. Barrett, the big man, was destined to be incomprehensible. I saw him wipe the sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, and said angrily: "Miss! Just say we're broom stars! β
"Broom Star! We've come all the way, and it's really a bit of a broom star. Lalu, who was standing beside Rielly, suddenly tilted her head and said.
Barrett then turned his gaze to the other man in the group. But the halfling wanderer nodded without hesitation. Barrett, who was devastated at this moment, immediately ignored his unscrupulous teammates and concentrated on dealing with his wounds.
Mr. Ococken, who had put his feet back on the deck, threw his short bow down the deck. Immediately afterwards he joined Clematis. Bot took care of the wounded in his ranks.
In any case, the troubadour also played the role of village priest in his youth, even if that status required more the ability to act as a peacemaker. What's more, after going out on an adventure, he can be said to have acted as a healer for a short time.
After all, among the natives, there are very few ordinary adventurers in the team who can have a profession like a priest. Therefore, such positions are often filled by other professions such as troubadours, who have some information skills.
Thanks to this, Mr. O'Coken's medical technology is compared to when he was in his hometown. Not only has it not regressed, but it has been steadily improving. It's just that there is a limit to this improvement. Mr. Ococken had already reached a plateau a long time ago.
But at the same time as wrapping a bandage. He also looked at Klaimatis with some envy. Bot. After all, compared with this full-time pastor, his medical level is indeed a little incomparable.
When counting the number of people on the deck, the first mate John, who was almost covered with scars, climbed onto the deck panting: "Is it also solved above, it's better to check the bottom of the ship quickly, the group of monsters that rushed into the cabin before suddenly hit and smashed there at the end." β
As a flat-bottomed sailing ship for inland waterway transport, the crew on board the "Georgia" is skilled. Naturally, it can't be compared with those sea vessels. Because of the disadvantage of the human hand, and the reason for the sudden attack, a small number of fishmen entered the cabin in this way.
However, as the battle ended, the fish-men on the deck fled to death. Those who entered the cabin became turtles in urns. Whether it is in the hands of players or aborigines, the other party is a small problem that cannot afford to turn the wind and waves. I didn't expect to be able to cause such a big trouble in the end.
Captain Hawkdor's face changed when he heard this: "Damn! Tom, Jerry, you two go down with me. β
"How can these monsters attack the bottom of a ship? Didn't they all choose to capture ships before? "As he stepped into the cabin, he heard Captain Hawkdor's cursing.
Barrett, who had simply completed the bandage, immediately frowned when he heard this: "Attack the bottom of the ship at the last time? Did those guys realize that the attack had failed and decided to die together? β
"Unlikely! After all, the fish-men were trapped in the cabin. And we guys had to deal with the attackers on the deck before we dealt with them. How did those bilge fishmen get the news? "Claudia. Auditore asked with some suspicion.
"The fish-people's hearing system is very different from that of us humans. They should be able to hear sounds that we can't. Speaking of this, Barrett moved his neck: "Didn't you notice that the loud horn of the previous attack did not appear when the fishmen retreated?" This means that the fish people are likely to have another way to inform the retreat. β
Claudia. Auditore said with an ugly face: "I hope the destruction of those fishmen is not too strict!" I don't know if the lifeboat is enough, and I don't want to swim back to shore like this. β
"It's a small thing just to swim! If there are fish-people around, we won't be able to beat the damn ones in the water. The size of a lifeboat is so small. Fish people can easily knock over them. Then I'll ......," Rielly said, the more chills ran down her back, and the kitten at her feet quietly grabbed her owner's cloak.
Hearing this, Barrett couldn't help but pat Rielly: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing here." Anyway, after becoming a raven. You are free to fly. I just don't know if your strength can carry Lalu, mage. β
"My power!" Immediately, it was Rielly's turn, and she looked confused.
Although the Monk class is a cat boy with no extra weight, the weight of the cat people is far lighter than most races of uniform body size. But the power of the mage is always a remnant! No matter how light it is, the load of one more person is not something that most mages can withstand at this stage.
Barrett didn't know whether it was good or bad, and said, "Why don't I pay attention to the mage, after the transformation, you give yourself the power of a bull first, and then come to a weight-bearing spell." I think you'll be able to carry everyone but me. With just a few more round-trips, I think I'll be able to get everyone except me to safety before the ship sinks......"
Barrett players had kept their voices as low as possible as they could as they discussed, but the injured sailors on the deck who had difficulty moving could still hear their conversations. This kind of rhetoric, which is almost like abandoning ship and escaping, can be said to have severely damaged the morale of those who were injured in an instant.
Waynes, meanwhile. After using up his holy healing power today, Kent finally relieved himself. I saw him lying on the deck with a sudden force and pulled out the big knife in his chest. The splatters of blood were like punctured pipes.
The mist of blood drifting in the wind in mid-air interrupted the players' conversation. And it's not just the players. It can be said that everyone on the deck was replaced by Waynes. Kent's almost suicidal behavior caught the eye.
The feeling of the blood that kept gushing out. It's like Waynes. Kent could die at any moment in the next moment. However, as a paladin under the command of the sun god, Waynes. Kent would never have committed suicide.
But in the blink of an eye, the Sunface emblem on his chest shone brightly. The outpouring of scholarship vanished in an instant. Then he struggled a little to get up to Waynes. Kent, except for his countenance, which seemed to be a little pale because he had lost too much, the rest was as if he were all right.
Everyone knows that as a paladin Waynes. Kent definitely has a life-saving treatment on his body, so Klematis. Bot will ignore it for the time being. But everyone really didn't expect Waynes. Kent's healing ability at the bottom of the box is so strong, obviously such a serious injury, in the blink of an eye, it has become lively again.
Rielly stared at Waynes with wide eyes. Kent was amazed at the same time, and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect Mr. Kent to put on a good show in front of us people!" β
"The mage over there. Please don't make fun of me on this occasion, okay? You know, I'm still an injured person. Don't affect my feelings. "Waynes. At the same time as Kent sternly issued a warning, he also strode towards the players. Apparently what Rieli thought was a whisper was not whispered to a paladin.
"Congratulations on your recovery!" As he spoke, Barrett, who was getting up on the edge of the boat, stretched out his left hand to the paladin who was walking towards him.
And Waynes. Kent looked at Barrett's strap-on left leg, reached for his leather buckle, and then tossed Barrett a silver test tube bottle: "This is for you!" It will make your leg injury heal in no time! β
Barrett, who took the potion, smiled, then shook his head: "Thank you!" But I can't accept your kindness for a while. In fact, I also have a potion on me to heal minor injuries. However, there are so many wounded on the ship at the moment, I think it is better to keep them first. Maybe these potions will be a lifesaver for them. β
After saying this, Barrett also took out a test-tube-like potion bottle from his coat pocket. This will be followed by Waynes. Kent threw the bottle back at him.
Waynes. After catching the potion Barrett threw back, Kent touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I was really a little inconsiderate just now. β
"Actually, I think the thing you really didn't think about was when you faced that fish-man black warrior before. Your final blow was just too reckless. At that time, I was completely able to deal with him. Barrett's voice was light, but the accusation was strong at the time. Several players around could see it. Captain himself for Waynes. Kent was very unhappy with his previous head-snatching.
After all, if the final blow is snatched by the natives, the player will have to lose experience alive. Although the distribution of experience is mainly determined by the proportion of damage, it still has an impact on the last hit - and even worse, the original inhabitants of the game can have a greater impact than the player when they take the final blow.
Plus Waynes. Kent's last trick did a lot of damage to the fish-man Black Knight. It can be said that the experience gift package in Barrett's eyes is missing a large piece for no reason.
But as an Aboriginal Waynes. Kent, on the other hand, doesn't know much about the ins and outs in the player's mind. He subconsciously touched the gap in his armor: "Aren't I afraid that the black warrior will slip away in the end?" His actions were not affected at the time. Besides, Mr. Boram, you tell me to find the right opportunity to give the other party a look. β
Barrett, who knew that the other party had misunderstood, naturally understood what he should say next: "I said such a sentence, but you should also consider your own safety before making a move!" β
"But me!" Waynes. Kent seemed to be trying to explain.
However, Barrett quickly interrupted the other party's words and said in an almost elder tone: "I know you have hole cards!" But now you are at most a holy warrior who has just stepped into the red iron rank! No matter how optimistic the Helios Church is about your future, it will never give you items that exceed your own strength. Tell me if the previous black knight's death-defying knife is at risk of killing you with one blow. I don't think your current cards will bring the dead back to life. β
After hearing Barrett's speech, Waynes. Kent was stunned. Then he seemed to be recalling the previous situation, and the fierce sword of the Fish-Man Black Warrior kept flashing through his mind.
Standing in front of him, Barrett could even see the cold sweat on the paladin's head. Although as a holy warrior, he has long been mentally prepared to be martyred. But that feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe still deeply affected Waynes. Kent's love xΓΉ.
"I'm not a paladin, but I understand your mission. You are not afraid of sacrifice, but you cannot make unnecessary sacrifices. After all, compared to those evil people, the number of paladins is too rare. Speaking of this, Barrett sternly accentuated his tone: "Although I cannot be one of you, I respect your dedication. So please take care of yourself. β
'Barrett, you bastard's favorability is really flying! Standing at the back of the line, looking at Barrett's expression, I really didn't know what to say.
It's not just halfling loiterings, it's Claudia. Two women, Auditore and Rielly. I was also extremely shocked by Barrett's behavior of changing his face like flipping a book, and talking nonsense with his eyes open like drinking water. There was only Clematis, who was busy treating the wounded. Bot and the stupid cute and cute Lalu, who has always been in front of people, are not full of cranky thoughts.
Fortunately, at this time, Captain Hoctor came out of the cabin and announced to everyone: "Our ship has been attacked by those unknown monsters, and it has been damaged a lot. Therefore, the ship will have to sail to the nearby port for a few days, and the original scheduled voyage will be postponed, please forgive me. Shakespeare, who is now going to sail to Hillock, is expected to stay there for three to five days before returning to his original route and continuing north. β
This sentence proves that when inspecting the ship, the crew must have noticed that the bottom of the ship seemed to be damaged, but it can also be seen from Captain Hockdo's words that such damage should not be serious.
"It looks like the journey is going to be delayed again, which is really bad luck." Hearing the captain's words, Claudia. Auditore shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to shake off the bad mood.
Even Captain Hockdo's friends couldn't help but complain: "Three to five days!" But hopefully there won't be any water monsters next time, so that the crew won't get hurt. Next, I will go all the way north, hoping to create good lyrics through this voyage! οΌ
"Can't you make repairs while you're sailing?" Claymatis. Bot suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked.
Captain Hockdor shook his head: "No way! Because some of the damage actually has to be repaired from the outside. In other words, if you are sailing, you must travel through the water. But you should know the current situation. The monsters out there could attack at any moment, and I couldn't afford to let my crew take that much of a risk in that situation. β
"That's right! Captain Hoctor, you made the right decision. Rather than taking the risk of doing that kind of thing, it is safer and more secure to come into the port for maintenance. These words did not come from Barrett's mouth, but by Claudia. Auditore said. It really scared the players present.
At the same time, First Officer John and Second Officer Mr. Cardock also completed their work: "Captain! In this fight, 8 of us left us forever. Of the remainder, 14 are seriously injured and have not yet woken up, and 23 are temporarily unable to move. About 12 of the remaining sailors were slightly wounded. (To be continued......)
