Chapter 201: The Soldier Who Fell into the Water



Chapter 201 The Soldier Who Fell into the Water

In the afternoon, the sun shines all over the river, the breeze is blowing gently, and the rippling waves reflect the sun's light.

As the Iron Duke sailed on calm waters, Savage sighed, "I thought Bishop Cavendish would requisition you for a few days after seeing your abilities."

If he were the commander and there was a suitable person who could make the battle easier, he would definitely forcibly requisition that person.

"Perhaps the bishop has other considerations," Crown thought.

They had originally planned to rest in the town for two days, so that the ordinary crew members could have a good rest and recover, but unexpectedly they were driven out. There was something unusual about the situation.

Savage nodded in agreement. The timing of Fanny's informing them to leave was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Crowne couldn't figure out the reason, so he put aside his doubts. Maybe there were some things that he was not authorized to know at the moment.

Del came over and bowed, saying, "Two bishops, the troops have been redistributed."

Touching the crow on his shoulder, Clown said, "It's my turn to lead the team to keep watch tonight. Excuse me, I'm going back to sleep."

Savage showed an honest smile and waved his hand, saying, "Sleep peacefully. I will not order the soldiers to shoot unless it is an emergency."

Crown returned to the cabin, made a gesture to the crow to keep quiet, and then drew the curtains. The light in the small room dimmed.

For him, daily sleep can be compressed to three or four hours, and in the short term he can even go without sleep, so he closed his eyes and visualized the Golden Light Mantra.

Breathing techniques can improve immediate combat effectiveness and belong to the category of skills.

The Golden Light Mantra can improve oneself in all aspects, not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of the spiritual level. In the words of the previous life, this is the realm of "Tao".

The whispering sound in his ear last night made him alert. The level of the Golden Light Spell was not high enough and he was far from being able to relax.

Fu Jin grabbed the bed sheets with his claws, tilted his head and looked at his master, quietly without making a sound.

The red in its eyes is now much dimmer, and there is a very faint golden halo around the eyeballs.

A flash of silver light flashed in its eyes, and after a while, a faint golden light filled its eyes again.

As time passed, the sun and the moon alternated in Clown's visualization, and the two kinds of light also appeared in the crow's eyes in turn, but the colors in the room did not change at all.

Fu Jin raised his tail, sat down, spread his wings, and greeted the light that seemed not to belong to this time, with a contented look in his eyes.

The precise biological clock reminded Crown to end his meditation. When he opened his eyes, the last rays of the sun were visible on the curtains. The time was 18:22.

As usual, he checked the progress of the Golden Light Spell and couldn't help but exclaimed.

[Golden Light Mantra: 3679/100000; Level 2]

What surprised him was not the Golden Light Spell, but the strange increase in his proficiency in animal taming, which far exceeded the normal day's growth.

[Beast Taming: 3915/5000; Level 2]

If there was anything special about today, it was only one thing, that was that he kept Fu Jin by his side while he was meditating.

After the Golden Light Mantra reached the second level, he had never kept his pet by his side during his visualization.

Soon it was time for the handover, and he had no time to verify his guess. He hurriedly left the cabin to go to the restaurant for dinner, and then replaced Savage.

The night was drowned by the ripples of the river, the Iron Duke's speed had been reduced to the lowest, and bright lights were lit on the ship.

Along the railing of the deck, an oil lamp was hung every ten meters. The hull was also hung with oil lamps, which repelled the gray fog in the sky without any blind spots.

Harry smiled and said, "My Lord Bishop, please go back to the cabin and rest. We will definitely not be lazy. The river has been cleaned up and the danger should be much less."

Klauen shook his head. He didn't dare and wouldn't take it lightly. If there was another sneak attack from the Deep Divers, this group of people would not be enough to defend themselves.

It is a worthy death for a soldier to die in battle, but if he causes the reduction of troops due to his own negligence and failure to do his job well, he will feel uneasy and guilty.

"After arranging the fixed night watch posts, organize the mobile patrol teams. Instruct them to try not to be alone and try not to get close to the railings. Return to your posts."

"Yes, Bishop."

The captains in charge of each group responded and dispersed to carry out the order.

The sea was calm and nothing unusual happened.

Crown would personally inspect the area every hour to make sure everything was in order.

When a patrol team of soldiers came to the bow, one of them shouted softly: "Captain, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Doug, are you fucking sick? How long has it been since you last went to the bathroom?"

The captain waved his hand in disdain: "Go quickly, everyone else stop and wait for him."

"Yes, sir," Doug smiled awkwardly, left the team and ran to the side railing, pulled down the zipper and opened the door.

"It's a good time to have a cigarette to refresh yourself, Captain, would you like one?"

"Come on, I'm a little sleepy too."

Several members of the team lit up their cigarettes, took a deep puff, and exhaled the smoke with satisfaction.

"ah"

A cry of surprise was heard.

The team turned around and saw Doug's hands grabbing the railing, with his lower body stretched out of the ship.

"Help!" His hands soon gave out and he was dragged down.

"thump"

There was a sound of someone falling into the water.

The team members rushed to where their teammates disappeared, and the captain shouted,

"Don't get close. Quickly notify the adults."

The miserable cry for help pierced the monotonous sound of the steam turbine. Crown quickly arrived at the scene, and two patrol teams also arrived one after another.

The captain recounted what had just happened: "Sir, Doug went to relieve himself, and I don't know what happened, but he was dragged away."

“Help, help!”

A cry for help came from the river not far away, carrying with it endless panic.

Clown released the golden light to protect his body, then walked to the railing and stretched out his hand, saying, "Find a rope to tie the oil lamp to."

The captain immediately took out a brown rope and tied it to the oil lamp. He had already got a rope that was long enough.

Taking the rope, Crown threw it hard towards the place where the sound came from.

He had a keen sense of position and accurately threw the rope to the place where cries for help were coming from.

With the help of the falling light, he saw the unfortunate man who fell into the water.

The rescue went smoothly. Doug grabbed the rope and was pulled back onto the boat.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The trembling soldier recounted what happened: "When I was relieving myself, I was grabbed by a black tentacle. The tentacle was as thick as my wrist and had great strength, which I could not resist at all.

The tentacles threw me out of the boat. I was terrified. After I fell into the water, I surfaced and was not attacked. Later, I was rescued by everyone. "

The monster dragged you into the water, it can't be a joke on you, right?

Crown narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Did you see what that thing looks like?"

Doug shuddered and shook his head: "I didn't see the whole picture, I just noticed there were several tentacles."

"Give him a holy water."

Del took out holy water and gave it to the person who fell into the water.

Doug tilted his head back and drank it without showing any sign of abnormality. His originally pale face even had a slight blush on it.

Still worried, Clown took out a bottle of golden water and said, "Drink this."

Doug took the golden talisman water and drank it obediently. After a while, there was still no difference.

What was the purpose of the monster? Could it be a prank? Klauen was puzzled. He waved his hand and said, "Take off your clothes and throw them down."

"Sir, this is not necessary, right?"

Doug's protests were in vain, so he took off his clothes and threw them into the river.

"Twist around a bit."

Only after making sure that the soldier who fell into the water was indeed fine did Crown let him go.

As a crowd gathered at the bow, a black octopus tentacles with a blood-red eye stretched into the hull from the shadow of the stern.

The tentacles swung a few times, and the eyes looked around.

Then, a mass of mud-like substance flowed into the ship.

. . . .

In the morning, Clown entered the kitchen, handed a few bottles of talisman water to the chef, and instructed: "Pour the potion into the breakfast."

He supervised the chef to pour the magic water in, and arranged for Del and Harry to monitor the diners in the restaurant to see if there was anything unusual.

During the handover, he informed Savage of what happened last night and said, "I don't think that the monster's actions were meaningless. We must be extra careful next time."

"I understand. When I return to Rhine City, I will report this situation to the Security Bureau."

Savage patted his teammate on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sleep well, if something is bound to happen, there is no point in worrying.

The evil gods are waking up at an increasingly faster rate. What we need to do is to become strong enough when they completely descend upon this world, or die in battle before they descend."

"You are a little pessimistic."

"The more I know, the more powerless I feel. There is also good news. The great Lord of Fire is also reviving, and my Lord's kingdom is accelerating towards the material plane. Haha, go to sleep."

After having breakfast and returning to the cabin, Crown did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated on the Golden Light Mantra.

After three great cycles, he ended his visualization and couldn’t wait to summon out the golden wall.

[Beast Taming: 3949/5000; Level 2]

The visualization time just now was only over forty minutes, and my proficiency increased by more than thirty points.

In other words, I can improve my proficiency in animal training without interacting with my pet. What is the principle behind this? This is another unsolved mystery. What is exciting is that no matter whether he can find the answer or not, he can still enjoy the benefits.

At dusk, the Iron Duke docked at the pier in Rhine City.

Under the setting sun, the water of the Rhine River was dyed orange.

The river kept flowing. Crown got off the boat and looked at the water, which was a little dazzling.

"Let's go back to the church and report to the Archbishop," Savage came over and said:

"I just informed Mr. Gabriel Eddy of the Security Bureau about your discovery last night. Whether it attracts their attention is not our business."

Clown nodded: "That's good. After all, I'm just guessing. Let's go back to the church."
