Chapter 707 Helen's Doubts
As soon as Roman relaxed, the shackled sea beast immediately found an opportunity to get out of the way.
Because of Roman's previous attack and the burning of the Flame Array Illusion Kill, the sea beast was now seriously injured. When it knew it was no match for the enemy, it chose to escape.
With a flick of its tail fin, it slipped away into the distance.
Seeing this, Roman wanted to chase it, but he was worried about being attacked from both sides, so he could only watch the sea beast leave.
However, Angel sneered. If Roman continued to deal with the sea beast, Roman could easily deal with it in its current state, but he let it go.
The reason for all this was that Angel took back the flames of the Flame Array Illusion Kill, and he began to be suspicious.
And Angel's original meaning was, didn't you say that the sea beast would be handed over to you, then the attack of the Flame Array Illusion Kill was equivalent to stealing your monster, so I would take it back.
Although he was a little annoyed by Roman's meanness, he didn't think of attacking him.
But he didn't expect that this guy's suspicion was so serious.
The waves slowly calmed down. Roman, hanging in the air, clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. He was not only regretful but also full of anger for losing a prey.
He turned his head and looked deeply at Angel.
Angel leaned on the mast and looked at him casually.
"What a pity, the sea beast should have been captured by Mr. Roman, but he didn't expect it to break free."
"Humph!" Roman snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.
There was no point in him arguing with Angel now. Because the facts he suspected did not appear, and everything the other party did did not exceed a certain limit.
Roman landed and said coldly: "It seems that I am not very successful in dealing with this sea beast alone. Next time I encounter this kind of sea beast, it seems that I still have to cooperate with Mr. Pat."
After Roman finished speaking, without waiting for Angel to answer, he stepped on the ground and flew to the balcony on the fourth floor and disappeared.
The deck he used as leverage, however, had a deep hole covered with spider webs because of his stepping on the ground.
"The sea beast did not break the Yunluo, but was broken by its owner." Angel shook his head ironically, and then walked into the cabin slowly.
All the sailors lowered their heads along the way. They were not stupid. They knew the inside story after a little analysis of the previous situation. It was obvious that Roman had a gap with Angel. As employees of Baibei Shipping Company, they naturally had to stand on Roman's side. Even though Angel had saved their lives before.
Only when Angel passed by Helen, she nodded slightly to Angel and whispered a word of thanks.
Angel did not respond, because any response from him might cause trouble to others.
After returning to his room, Angel's expression slowly sank. The series of events just now had obviously made Roman dissatisfied with him. For such a narrow-minded person, Angel must be careful to deal with it.
The hatred with Hook Dick was just a small matter. The reason why they ended up fighting to the death was because Hook Dick was too narrow-minded.
Angel thought he could let it go, but the other party was so petty that the wine of hatred became stronger and stronger, and even became a demon in his heart. If he didn't get rid of it, he might not be able to achieve his beliefs in his life.
Therefore, Angel didn't take Roman's previous act of letting it go seriously. He knew very well that Roman definitely had resentment towards him in his heart. As for whether it would turn into hatred or even develop into a big fight, it would take time to ferment.
Angel had no intention of tearing his face with Roman for the time being. After all, he had the most say on this ship.
Of course, if he killed him, he could naturally curb the right to speak of mortals. But this was not in line with Angel's character. After all, there was a behemoth behind Roman.
However, he would not rule out this option until the time fermented to the end.
Before that, Angel decided to keep a low profile.
Soon, night fell. The clouds tonight are very light, like a thin gray ribbon in the rich night. The stars are all over the sky, reflecting the sea with brilliant sparkles.
Like the weather during the day, it is rare to be able to keep a piece of tranquility in the Devil's Sea, and there are no big waves on the sea.
In the rare peace, Angel did not stay in the room to study, but stepped out of the cabin and landed on the deck leisurely.
Leaning against the fence of the ship's side, Angel blew the night breeze leisurely.
He didn't want to do anything today, just wanted to empty his mind and let his mood settle down.
It has been more than half a month since the departure, and Angel is still a little dazed. Is he embarking on the journey home like this?
In the vast sea, with no boundaries in front and behind, many sailors often get lost, and even can't tell the sky from the sky and the sea from the sea; the same scene every day, time seems to have become a repetitive circle. Yesterday became today, and last year became this year.
Angel occasionally had such illusions. Sometimes, looking at the vast sea, he even felt vaguely that he was still on the Bauhinia. In fact, he was on his way to the Fan Continent, waiting to enter the White Coral Floating Island Academy, and the experience in the Savage Cave was probably just a dream he imagined.
But this was only a fleeting trance. When the reality became clear, Angel would be shocked to realize that he was already on the way home.
The ocean under the moonlight and starry sky was so gentle that it made people intoxicated, and even made them forget the dangerous undercurrents lurking under the ocean.
Angel closed his eyes, enjoying the rare tranquility.
Suddenly there was a burst of footsteps from behind, and the regular but heavy rhythm showed that the person who came was just an ordinary person.
When a faint scent of fragrance spread into his nose, Angel opened his eyes and looked at the woman standing three meters away from him - Helen.
Helen took off her dark blue uniform and wore an ordinary white gauze dress. She leaned on the railing with her hands and looked into the unknown distance.
"Thank you for your help today, otherwise I might have..." Helen paused and turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of her. He looked lazy. Even when he smiled, he had a feeling of decadence and laziness.
"If Vice Captain Helen dies, it will be very difficult to sail to the finish line." Angel continued casually.
"No matter what the reason is, your lord saved me from this disaster after all." Helen lowered her head, her cold and stern breath suddenly became a little embarrassed: "I can't repay you. If you don't mind, my body..."
Angel: "If you want to repay my kindness, then drive the Yunluo to the finish line safely. This is the best reward."
Helen was stunned for a moment, then put away her deliberately pretended charm, "I understand, it is also my responsibility to let the Yunluo reach the Felan continent safely."
Angel smiled and did not continue to speak, but continued to enjoy the tenderness given by the moonlight, starlight and ocean at this time and here.
For a moment, silence fell on the side of the ship.
After a long time, Helen seemed to have gone through some inner struggle and said in a low voice: "Sir, other sailors during the day were actually grateful to you for your presence, but they did not dare to express it for some special reasons. ”
Angel did not comment on this matter. It was rare to have some free time, so why bother talking about boring things.
"Vice Captain Helen, a voyage should be measured in years, right?"
"Yes, the longest voyage of the Yunluo lasted three years."
"How many years have you been at sea? How do you kill time on the boring sea all year round?" Angel asked curiously.
Helen was a little surprised that the wizard in front of her would care about the lives of mortals like them. Shouldn't the wizard be aloof and look at the mortals like ants under their feet?
If Angel knew Helen's thoughts, he would probably laugh and say that many extraordinary people think they are superior to ordinary people, but this is just superficial arrogance. Privately, they are what they should be, even when comparing themselves to ordinary people. Not much different. For example, the Meixiang Theater in Night Demon City is a theater for mortals, but its reputation in Savage Cave is not small at all. Even Lady Mirror Princess knows about it, and there are even related spring scrolls.
When Angel secretly went to the Meixiang Theater, he also found many extraordinary beings mixed in.
So as far as Angel is concerned, formal wizards may be out of the circle of mortals, but the vast majority of apprentices are actually ordinary humans. It's just that pride and prejudice make them somewhat unclear about themselves.
"I have been on the sea since I was born, but I went to school on land when I was a child. It was only more than 20 years ago when I really started sailing. As for how to kill time..." Helen suddenly laughed: "On the sea, it is not about killing time, but Time to kill us.”
"I used to find some entertainment, but after I understand this fact, it doesn't matter anymore. I'll get over it if I endure it." A hint of sadness suddenly flashed in Helen's eyes: "The sea is eternal, but the people who sail on it , but were eliminated one by one.”
Helen turned her head, her long black hair blown to the corners of her lips by the sea breeze: "Sir, can I ask you a question?"
Angel nodded indifferently.
"When I met you for the first time, I found that you were not surprised that I am a woman. A woman serves as the deputy captain of an ocean-going cargo ship. Why are you not surprised at all?" Helen looked at Ann quietly. Geer.
Angel also thought that Helen would ask some questions, whether she wanted to ask how to become a transcendent like Ananda. Didn't expect it to be such a problem.
"Is this a problem?" Angel looked confused: "Why should I be surprised?"
"Because I'm a woman."
Angel shook his head, "What does this have to do with your gender? I also know a woman who once lived on the sea. She even dominated an entire sea area by herself, and this was done when she was a mortal. . Her ability to achieve this has nothing to do with her gender.”
Helen was stunned, and after a while she said: "Sir, the person you are talking about could not be Mr. Asbelu from the Blackberry Sea, right?"
"It seems that you have heard it too. Since you know it, why are you confused. She is standing in front of you like a beacon."
"But... Blackberry Sea isn't a rumor that this gentleman was captured by the Night Wolf pirate group four years ago. He even committed himself to the Night Wolf leader and became his thirteenth bride. Now, the Night Wolf leader has become He became the new BlackBerry King, and that’s why.” Helen wondered.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that taking advantage by talking can happen everywhere. The Lord Asbel you mentioned is no longer a mortal. How could he be captured by an ordinary pirate group?"
After hearing what Angel said, Helen suddenly realized that it was the leader of the Night Wolf who was lying.
"Your Excellency Asbel was once my target, but those rumors later made me... I didn't expect that I had always misunderstood her." The faith that Helen had originally poured into her heart was re-established at this time.
Angel smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect that Nausicaa's influence was so wide and became a belief in other people's hearts. Even other pirates could become the new Blackberry King just by taking advantage of their mouths and making up a rumor.
When Angel was sighing, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the figurehead not far away.
