The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 471: Murloc

Although robbers are rampant in Yosh County, all robbers in Josh County have followed an unwritten rule that robbery is not allowed in any village or town in Josh County.

No one knows who exactly this rule is and when it is established, but all Josh people are willing to follow this rule. If someone violates this rule, then this person must not be able to gain a foothold in Josh County, not just all The towns and villages in Josh County will join forces to arrest this person, and even the thieves in Josh County will also pursue them. In this matter, the attitude of Josh County is the same.

Now Heel Bondi says that someone ran to the village’s dock to attack the cargo ship. Willis didn’t believe it, but he also saw that Heel Bondi didn’t seem to be lying because this kind of thing could be easily detected. , So he couldn't help but wonder whether the heel Bondi said Papa was true or false.

When Willis still wanted to ask, Leo, who had been in the cabin after he got on the ship, pushed the door and walked in from the outside, and said to the heel of Bondi: "You didn’t say you saw Papa Are you talking about what those papas look like?"

Willis was dissatisfied with Leo's sudden insertion, but when he thought of Leo's movements, the dissatisfaction in his heart quickly suppressed, and he said to Bondy, who was at a loss, said: " Say it! Tell what you know."

Hearing Willis say this, the shoe heel Bondi turned and looked at Leo suspiciously. Although Willis disguised well, he still could see Willis was very worried about the nobleman who came in now, This also made him more speculation and reverie about Leo's identity.

Although the habitual analysis of what Jiang saw in his mind was recorded, he did not reveal much abnormalities on the surface, and according to Willis' instructions, he spoke out his previous encounters.

In the past, Bondy, the heel of the Josh people, did not take Papa’s legends seriously, thinking that Papa’s legend was just a pillow-side story of an old woman, specifically used to frighten young children. There are many examples of entering the swamp, which is also the first reason for the death of children in Yosh County.

But this perception was broken shortly after he returned to Josh County.

At the time, Heel Bondi had just returned to Josh County, preparing to use the money he made at sea to do a business. At that time, he did not expect to run river transport. Later, he was boarded by a fellow villager to run a river freight. The ship, and by virtue of his ability to practice at sea quickly became the first officer of the ship.

It was this experience of river transportation that made him very familiar with the changing river channels in Yosh County and began to understand the idea of ​​putting savings into river transportation.

So he decided to run the last boat and left here to do it alone. Originally, he thought that this last time was a very simple task with the ship, but he didn't expect something to go wrong.

He also clearly remembered that at that time he drove the ship to a secret pier before dark, according to the rules. This pier was specially built by the owner to provide a temporary stop for the ship, because the owner found a Shortcut, if a boat takes this shortcut, it can arrive a few days earlier than other ships, and the destination can also run a few more times a month.

The only shortcoming of this shortcut is that it will only appear during the rainy season in summer, and there is no village in the place where the river walks, so the owner has to build a few temporary docks to facilitate the docking of the ship at night.

As usual, the ship was safely docked on the temporary dock. All the people on the ship got out of the boat, took a rest in the temporary house, lit smoke, and drove out the swamp mosquitoes.

After entering the middle of the night, some people found that the situation outside the house was a bit wrong, because a thick fog suddenly appeared outside the house.

Although the fog in the swamp is not a rare thing, it has never been seen in the thick fog of late summer night. With curiosity, the sailor on board left the house and went outside to check the situation, mainly to check whether the cargo on board Safety.

But not long after these sailors entered the fog, a burst of screams came out, and then a series of strange things appeared, and there were constant sailors disappearing, everyone was already panicked, after all, the heel Bondi experienced too much at sea The wind and the waves have seen a lot of strange things. In this case, he also reacted the fastest. At that time, he made the most correct choice to stay in the house, ignite the bonfire, and let the fire burn as much as possible. To prevent the dense fog from penetrating into the house.

It was for this reason that he was able to survive in the disaster, and the other people who left the house died outside. When they were found, they only saw some incomplete corpses.

When the fog receded, the heel Bondy saw the monsters hidden in the dense fog with his eyes looking like a hand.

The monsters look like human-shaped fish. The humanoid body with a height of nearly three meters bears huge fish heads. The cracked fish mouth is covered with sharp teeth, and it has vertical fins. The back and webbed limbs make them look terrible.

This is the first time that Heel Bondi saw Papa, and the reason why he didn’t think of it is other monsters, mainly because of the appearance of the monster and the appearance of the monster. In the legend, Papa also appeared with dense fog. , But also the shape of a mermaid.

Originally, this incident has caused timidity in the heel of Bondi, and dared not run the river again, but then the ship's cargo was sent to the destination, and the money he saw on delivery made him realize how profitable the river transport is. .

Under the motive of money, his fear also disappeared. According to the original plan, he bought a boat and ran the river. He ran safely for several years, and he did not encounter any accidents. This made him relax his vigilance and forget the Papa piece. thing.

Knowing that a few months ago, he transported a boat of guests to Edinshire, near Josh County. Instead of taking a shortcut, he took the normal river channel and stopped in a village with a pier halfway. It was also summer and it was late at night. Thick fog suddenly appeared.

The experienced heel Bondi immediately remembered a few years ago. He immediately put the passengers on the boat in the hotel arranged for them by the village, and made all the wood in the hotel into a bonfire and placed it around the hotel. To disperse dense fog.

Some people did not understand his approach, thinking he was crazy, worried about the cargo left on the ship, insisted on leaving the hotel, returned to the ship to check the situation, the result was the same as those sailors died in the dense fog.

With this example, everyone was frightened, and he followed the words of Bondi and hid in the hotel, but this time it was different from the last time. The last time after the fog disappeared, he was able to see clearly. Monsters, and this time the monsters were close to the edge of the thick fog and looked towards the hotel. This time not only did he see it, but also the passengers on the other ships.

Fortunately, however, this time the heel Bondy was fully prepared to let the bonfire burn all night, so as not to increase the casualties. After the dense fog dispersed, they found that the entire village had disappeared.

It is precisely because of these two things that the heel Bondi has developed the habit of docking in a hidden river channel before entering the night, without docking or entering the village port.

In his opinion, the two monsters appeared on the shore, and after the dense fog was generated, he thought that it would be safe to dock on the water, and because of the flow of the river, even if there is dense fog on the water, it is more than the shore. It's a lot lighter, as long as the bonfire is lit around the boat, it won't happen.

"Did you tell anyone about this?" Leo asked again, after listening carefully to the heel of Bondi.

Heel Bondi hesitated for a moment. He did tell other people about this matter, that is, his superior, but his superior did not seem to take this matter seriously, just told him not to be cranky, and would not care about this Thing.

However, he could not say such a thing at all. He just shook his head and said, "No, I haven't spoken to anyone else."

However, after he answered, he found that the other person was smiling at him, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the secret in his heart, so that he did not dare to look at it, and bowed his head.

It has been seen that Leo, who was lying on the heel of Bondi, has no savings to pursue, and he did not continue to stay, stood up, walked out, reached the door, and suddenly stopped, turned to Willis and said: " To give you a suggestion, it is best to have people stare at the water at night, maybe something will happen."

Hearing Leo’s words, Willis could not help but frown, thinking for a moment, letting him bring the heel bondy to the cabin below and temporarily shut it up, and then ordered his men to take turns vigil at night.

After returning to his cabin, Leo found that Mila and Su were both in his cabin. He couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Su rushed to ask: "How can you be interested in this kind of country legend? It's not like your own."

Leo chuckled and asked, "Why can't I be interested in these folklore, how much do you know me?"

"Humph!" Su Leng hummed and turned his head.

"Does the lord know anything?" Mila asked directly, without saying much nonsense.

"Do you mean Papa?" Leo asked again.

"Papa is not just a folklore, is there really such a monster?" Mila asked curiously.

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "You can see tonight, now you can leave, I want to take a break."

"Humph!" Su snorted again, quickly walked out of the room, and Mila walked out.

After closing the door, Leo was lying on the bed, quietly recalling what the shoe heel Bondi said just now.

Although this incident sounds like a supernormal event, whether it is Su, Mila, or the leader of the wolf gang Willis have seen similar things more than once, and even they are themselves the most extraordinary part of the world, but this It’s not so serious when he heard it in Leo’er’s ear. He soon associated the incident with the fog around the world of dream world, knight world, etc., and those murloc monsters are like fog beasts. thing.

The reason why Leo thinks this is not just because of what the shoe Bondy said, but because after entering the river channel in Josh County, Leo's nightmare power began to produce a trace of fluctuation, and Just now he perceived something in the water through the spiritual net as if he was following the ship.

It just makes him feel strange, but when he wants to capture the target through the spiritual network, he finds that the state of this target is a little strange, and seems to be able to move in this world and another world.

At this time, he also sensed the scene of Willis interrogating the shoe and Bondi through the spiritual network, and vaguely felt that the two may be related, so he came to the upper captain's room to ask about it.

Now Leo is almost certain that the fuzzy presence he sensed before should be the outpost of the murloc monster, and he thinks it is not accidental that the heel heel Bondi encountered the murloc monster. The murloc monster is likely to be Bondi came to the heel, as for the reason, I am afraid that the heel Bondi himself is not clear.

It’s just that Leo can be sure of one thing. Heel Bondi should conceal something. He just asked him to tell others about the murloc monster. Heel Bondi’s heartbeat and face Subtle expression changes show he is lying.

The reason why Leo did not continue to question, forced to ask the little secret hidden in the heel of Bondi, just because he felt that this matter may not be related to the fish man.

On the deck, the men of the wolf gang began to make some arrangements on the ship as Willis commanded, and the dispatched people stood at the highest point of the ship and observed the surroundings.

This time, these people derived from Willis are the werewolves he transformed through special methods. Each person's strength is very powerful, and he has a very sensitive sense of smell and vision. He is confident that even if he encounters what the shoe heel Bondi said Murloc Monster~lightnovelpub.net~ It is not always clear who wins and who loses in the end.

Soon the sky was dimmed, and the originally shallow lake began to increase slowly due to the backflow of the river. The shrubbery closest to the lake was quickly submerged, and then all the land sank to the bottom of the lake, only some The highlands exposed and formed small islands. When the lake water stopped increasing, the area of ​​the lake had expanded six to seven times.

Dark night is a matter of fear for ordinary people. After all, humans have a natural fear of darkness, but for the werewolf, it is not so at all. Dark night will only make them feel excited, and because the full moon has just passed, the moon is still In a state close to the full moon, the werewolf can still gain some power from the moonlight, and some primal desires in the heart will also be triggered.

If it weren't for the suppression of the wolf named Willis, maybe the wolf people from the wolf gang on the ship could not help becoming a werewolf form, following their nature, and roared loudly.

After falling into the night, Willis, who had originally disapproved of Leo’s warning, suddenly became alert, and did not tell his stubborn people to carefully check the surroundings. Even later, he himself was sitting on the deck, and the reason why he was Such a change in attitude occurs because his werewolf intuitively told him that something will happen tonight.
