Chapter 92 Weird Singing
Led by the guards, Vespella followed them through the woods to the other end of the island.
By the way, listen to the personal guards report on the current situation:
Last night, something happened suddenly. Most people were in the banquet hall enjoying the sweet atmosphere of the wedding. Only Vespera, who was discussing state affairs with Minister Robis on the deck, noticed something amiss—in the distance, there was a huge black shadow blocking out the sky, like the tip of an iceberg.
If the cruise ship hits it like this, everyone will be finished.
Just as Vesperia was trembling, a massive wave suddenly struck the previously calm sea, a tsunami triggered by the hurricane. At the same time, a sacred beam of light appeared, as the high priest, having also sensed something was amiss, arrived and used magic to freeze the waves.
Vespera and Minister Robis exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the banquet hall, intending to inform everyone to prepare for the shipwreck.
"Buzz——" It sounded like the roar of a giant sea beast.
The ship was suddenly lifted up, and Vespera, who was closest to the deck, fell into the sea from a height of dozens of meters. At that moment, he felt that all the bones in his body were broken, and his muscles had no strength at all. He could only watch himself sink to the bottom of the sea - and was later rescued by a mermaid.
On the other hand, everyone on the ship got a chance to escape under the protection of the high priest. Before the ship sank, the cruise ship safely sailed to the nearest small island. Everyone landed safely, including the relief food, which was intact.
This accident, which did not cause any real casualties, gave everyone a wonderful sense of adventure.
The guards were inspecting the damaged ships and working out a repair plan so as not to delay the original itinerary and deliver the rice to the disaster area in the western continent in a timely manner.
As the owners of the cruise ship and one of the persons in charge of the operation, the farmer couple is leading the guests who have come to attend their wedding to build a shelter on the coast as a temporary resting place so that everyone can safely spend the few days waiting for the cruise ship to be repaired.
Everyone was working hard to do their best until Minister Robis came over and asked where His Royal Highness the Prince of the Guards was. He wanted to take advantage of this free time to talk to His Royal Highness the Prince about the previous topic.
The guards then realized that His Royal Highness the Prince was missing.
So everyone started to count the number of people - the high priest said that he had indeed protected everyone on the boat.
But unfortunately, Vespella fell into the sea before he could make a move.
Now, everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Prince had concealed his identity and traveled with them on this voyage, and had unfortunately lost contact.
Vespera: “…”
Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to form a team to search for me, the only unlucky person who fell into the water.
It turns out that you are all fine, only I am in trouble, hahahaha.
Vespera could only comfort herself that even if a small accident had occurred, the outcome would always be good, and she had safely reunited with the main force.
After passing through the woods and arriving at the other side of the island, the first thing that catches your eye is a few shelters made of tarpaulins.
Because the cruise ship was carrying a large amount of rice, Bai Su had considered the possibility of waterlogging in advance, so he prepared much more oilcloth than needed, which came in handy now.
Simply use tarpaulin to surround the tall trees, and you can create a space of about ten square meters between four or five trees. Cover it with shade leaves, and it becomes a simple yurt, which is large enough for everyone to gather together and live together.
This made Vespera even more certain that Bai Su must have traveled through time as well.
Several people who were busy collecting and cooking saw Vespella, who was surrounded by guards. Even though her gorgeous clothes were stained by the sea water, she still had a noble temperament. They all knelt down to salute.
"No, no need to salute." Vespera quickly helped the person closest to him to his feet. At this moment, many people noticed them. Vespera simply raised his voice and said loudly, "I am just here to attend the wedding like the rest of you, and I am going to the Western Continent to do my job. Now we are colleagues, there is no need to salute me."
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Vespella rolled up her sleeves, picked up the axe beside her, and happily joined them.
The image of a crown prince who is close to the people and loves the people was successfully established.
…
In the afternoon, several people in charge of the operation gathered for a meeting.
Vesperia first asked the high priest if he could use magic to help them repair the cruise ship.
The high priest shook his head and said, "This is God's will. I cannot interfere."
After saying that, he led his beautiful but slightly fat snow leopard and walked out of the tent in a swagger.
Vespera: “…”
Vespera then asked Minister Robis, "How long do you estimate it will take to repair the ship?"
"If everything goes well, it will take about a week. If not, it will take half a month or even longer," Minister Robis replied. "It all depends on the weather."
Vespera nodded in understanding.
A nearby farmer interrupted, asking Vespera, "Your Highness, I'd like to ask if there are any edible plants on the other coast? We've surveyed this area and found almost no vegetables or fruits suitable for human consumption. While the staples and meat on board are sufficient to feed everyone during this period, the damage to the ship coincidentally caused the storage room to flood. The fresh fruits and vegetables we stockpiled have been corroded by the seawater and are no longer edible."
Vespera thought about it carefully, then told Bai Su: "No, there aren't any more special plants on that side than here, so I think if the plants you found here are inedible, then the ones over there are just as poisonous."
"Is that so..." Bai Su and his centaur partner looked at each other and said, "Then let's think of another way."
Vespera knew that what he said actually meant that there was no other way.
Because before, the guard captain Keos, Bai Su's centaur partner, had already counted that among all the people on the island, there were less than twenty humans who could swim, and most centaurs could not swim.
There were only twenty people, and Minister Robbies's opinion was not to go into the water to pick ferns, because they didn't know whether the sea monster that caused the accident last night was still nearby, and whether they were its enemy or friend.
Vespera agreed with the decision.
But, sea monsters...
Vespera said hesitantly, "The one who saved me yesterday happened to be a sea creature."
"Marine creatures?" Keos asked back.
"Yes, it was a male mermaid. He saved me and treated me very kindly. I was thinking that maybe I could ask him to help us get some ferns from the sea." Vespera suggested.
Bai Su seemed to be very interested in the word mermaid and kept asking Vespera for a long time about the appearance of the male mermaid.
Everything that could and should be discussed at this meeting was discussed, so Vespera didn't mind chatting with this man who was obviously his fellow countryman from Blue Star, and told him about the appearance of Naga.
"Oh, that is indeed a very beautiful mermaid." Bai Su said.
Vesperia fully agreed with this.
Although Naga has a male appearance, his face is indeed the most outstanding one Vesperia has ever seen in her life.
"Maybe I should go to the other side of the island and thank my savior there." Vespera winked at Bai Su.
He planned to visit the male mermaid again later.
…
At dinner time, Vesperia and everyone else gathered together to eat from a big pot.
All the living tools were taken off the ship - the cruise ship with a big hole in it but overall looking intact, was parked in the shallow bay. After being repaired during the day, it looked even worse - all the decorative items on the deck were removed by the guards and security team members, intending to reuse them.
For example, the simple bench that Bevispera is sitting on now is made up of two carved armrests.
To be honest, it's very uncomfortable and hurts my butt.
Vespera asked Bai Su, who was eating noodles with him, "Why don't you move the existing chairs from the banquet hall?"
Bai Su replied shyly, "This cruise ship is a wedding gift given to me and Keos by our elders. The furniture inside is a complete set and very expensive. I can't bear to part with it."
Vespera: “…”
Bai Su continued to explain: "The decorations outside are removable, and the materials used are relatively cheap, so there's no fear of damage."
Vespera: “…”
Bai Su looked like he wanted to say something, but Vespera suddenly stood up.
"Your Highness, is there a problem?" Bai Su asked doubtfully, "If you really feel uncomfortable, I can give you the one I'm sitting on. The board I'm sitting on doesn't have any carvings on it, so it's not as beautiful as yours, but it's smoother."
"No thanks," Vespera said with a dull face, "I'm full. I'm going to take a walk."
As he said this, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the beach.
His personal guard immediately followed.
Less than twenty-four hours had passed, and this was already the worst day in Vespera's life as a prince since he traveled through time.
I can’t say what’s wrong specifically, but overall nothing goes well.
Vespera was also a noble in his previous life. He had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered such grievances - sitting on the betrothal gifts of his fellow villagers to eat. The food was not tasty and his butt was very painful.
He raced along the beach with an expressionless face. He wanted to be quiet—even though a group of guards were following him, worried about his safety.
As she walked, Vespera suddenly heard a distant and ethereal singing voice.
It was a soft humming without lyrics, very pleasant to the ear, and inexplicably aroused the desire in Vespera's heart to share her distress with others.
Under the setting sun, all senses are infinitely magnified.
He involuntarily quickened his pace and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
"Your Highness!" the guard called him.
Vespera turned around, briefly conscious, as if something had occurred to him. He told the guards, "Follow me, keeping a certain distance, but don't lose me."
He knew that the singing was strange, but he was tempted and wanted to go over and take a look even though he knew there was something fishy going on.
The next second, when he turned around again, the expression on his face was extremely fascinated and addicted.
As if chasing after a long-lost lover, Vespera ran quickly towards the distant beach with a sad expression.
