Chapter 201 Soldiers Who Fell Into the Water
In the afternoon, the sun covered the river, the breeze was gentle, and the sparkling waves reflected the sun's brightness.
As the Iron Duke sailed on the calm water, Savage sighed:
"I thought that after seeing your ability, Bishop Cavendi would commandeer you for a few days."
If he were the commander and had the right person to make the battle easier, he would definitely commandeer that person.
"Maybe the bishop has other considerations," Crown said thoughtfully.
They originally planned to rest in the town for two days, allowing ordinary crew members to rest and recover, but unexpectedly they were kicked out. There was something unusual about the situation.
Savage nodded in agreement. The timing of Fanny's notification of their departure was indeed a bit unreasonable.
Crown didn't think of a reason, so he put down the doubts about the matter. Maybe there was something that he didn't have the authority to know yet.
Del walked over, leaned down and said: "Two bishops, the troops have been redistributed."
Touching the crow on his shoulder, Crown said: "It's my turn to lead the team to keep vigil at night. If you're sorry, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep."
Savage showed a simple smile, waved his hand and said:
"Sleep peacefully. I will not order soldiers to shoot unless necessary."
Crown returned to the cabin, made a gesture to silence the crow, and then closed the curtains. The light in the small room dimmed.
For him, sleep can be compressed to three or four hours a day, and he may even not sleep for a short period of time, so he closes his eyes and meditates on the golden light mantra.
Breathing techniques can improve immediate combat effectiveness and belong to the category of techniques.
The Golden Light Curse can improve oneself in all aspects, not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of spiritual and spiritual aspects. In the words of the previous life, this is the category of 'Tao'.
The murmuring in his ears last night alerted him. The level of the golden light spell was not high enough, and it was far from enough to relax.
Fu Jin's claws grabbed the sheets, tilted his head and looked at his master, quietly without making a sound.
The red color in its eyes is now much duller, and there is already a very faint golden halo around the outer ring of the eyeballs.
A flash of silver 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 Crown's imagination, and the two kinds of light also appeared in the crow's eyes in turn, but the colors in the room did not change in any way.
Fu Jin's tail was raised, and he sat down with his wings spread wide, welcoming the light that seemed not to belong to this time, with a contented look in his eyes.
The precise biological clock reminded Kroun to end his visualization. When he opened his eyes, the last afterglow of the sun was showing on the curtains, and the time was 18:22.
As usual, he looked at the progress of the golden light spell and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
[Golden Light Spell: 3679/100000; Level 2]
What surprised him was not the golden light spell, but the strange increase in his proficiency in the animal taming technique, far exceeding the normal increase in a day.
[Animal Taming: 3915/5000; Level 2]
If there was anything special about today, there was only one thing, and that was that he kept Fu Jin by his side while he was meditating.
After the Golden Light Spell reached the second level, he had never left his pet by his side while visualizing.
It was soon the handover time, and he had no time to verify his guess. He hurriedly left the cabin and went to the restaurant to have dinner, and then replaced Savage.
The night was submerged by the microwaves of the river, the Iron Duke's speed had dropped to a minimum, and the ship was lit up with brilliant lights.
Along the railings of the deck, an oil lamp was hung every ten meters, and the ship was also covered with oil lamps, repelling the gray fog in the sky without blind spots.
Harry smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please go back to the cabin and rest. We will not be lazy. The river has been cleaned up, so the risk should be much less."
Crown shook his head. He did not dare and would not take it lightly. If there was another sneak attack by the deep divers, this group of people would not be enough to deliver food.
A soldier's death in battle is considered a well-deserved death, but if the troops are reduced due to slacking off and not doing his job well, he will feel uneasy and guilty.
"After arranging fixed vigil posts, organize a mobile patrol team. Instruct them to go down, try not to be alone, and try not to get close to the railings. Return to your posts."
"As you command, Bishop."
The captains in charge of each group responded and dispersed to carry out the order.
It was calm and nothing unusual happened.
Crown will personally check every hour to make sure nothing goes wrong.
When a group of patrolling soldiers reached the bow of the ship, one of them shouted softly: "Report to the captain, I want to make it easier."
"Doug, are you really sick? How long has it been since your last convenience?"
The captain waved his hand in disgust: "Go quickly, others stop and wait for him."
"Yes," Doug sneered, left the team and ran to the side railing, pulled down the zipper, and opened the door.
"I'm just having a cigarette to refresh myself. Captain, would you like one?"
"Come on, I'm a little sleepy too."
Several people in the team lit up their cigarettes, took a long sip, and puffed out the smoke with satisfaction.
"ah"
A cry of surprise came.
Several members of the team turned their heads and saw Doug's hands grasping the railing, and his lower body had extended out of the ship.
"Help", his hand quickly failed to support him, and his whole body was pulled down.
"thump"
There was the sound of falling water.
The members of the team rushed towards the place where their teammates disappeared. The captain shouted loudly:
"Don't come close, please inform all the adults quickly."
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 at the scene one after another.
The captain narrated what just happened: "Sir, Doug went to go to the convenience store. I don't know what happened, and he was dragged down."
"Help, help"
The cry for help came from the river not far away, carrying endless fear.
Croun released the golden light protection, then walked to the railing, stretched out his hand and said: "Find a cable to tie the oil lamp."
The captain immediately took out a brown rope and tied it to the oil lamp. He had already obtained a rope long enough.
Taking the rope, Crown threw it hard towards the location where the sound came from.
He judged the location very keenly and accurately threw the rope to the place where the cries for help kept coming.
Through the falling light, he saw the unfortunate guy who fell into the water.
The rescue went smoothly. Doug grabbed the rope and was pulled back to the boat by everyone.
The trembling soldier described what he encountered:
"When I was in a hurry, I was grabbed by a black tentacle. The tentacle was as thick as my wrist, and its power was very strong, which I couldn't resist at all.
The tentacles threw me out of the boat. I was so scared. After falling into the water, I surfaced without any other attacks. Later, he was rescued by everyone. "
If a monster drags you down, it's not just a joke on you, right?
Crown's eyes narrowed and he asked again: "Have you seen clearly what that thing looks like?"
Doug trembled and shook his head: "I didn't see the whole picture. I only noticed that there were several tentacles."
"Give him a bottle of holy water."
Del took out the holy water and gave it to the drowning person.
Doug raised his head and drank it without showing any signs of any abnormality. Instead, his pale face turned slightly red.
Crown was still worried and took out a golden talisman water: "Drink this."
After taking the golden talisman water, Doug drank it obediently. After a while, there was still no difference.
What is the purpose of the monster? He can't be a monster who plays pranks, right?
Kroun was puzzled and waved his hand: "Take off your clothes and throw them down."
"Sir, is this unnecessary?"
Doug's protests were ineffective, so he had to take off his clothes and throw them into the river.
"Take a few turns."
After confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong with the body of the soldier who fell into the water, Crown let him go.
When the crowd gathered at the bow of the boat, in the shadow of the stern, a black octopus arm penetrated the hull, with a kind of blood-red eyes on the arm.
He shook his arms and legs a few times and looked around with his eyes.
Then, a mass of mud-like stuff flowed into the ship.
. . . .
In the early morning, Croun entered the kitchen, handed a few bottles of talisman water to the chef, and ordered: "Pour the potion into breakfast."
He supervised the chef pouring the talisman water in, and arranged for Del and Harry to monitor the diners in the restaurant for any abnormalities.
During the handover, he informed Savage of last night’s events and then said:
"I don't think it was pointless for that monster to do this. We must be more careful next time."
"I understand. When I return to Rhine City, I will report this situation to the Security Bureau."
Savage patted his teammates on the shoulders and said with a smile:
“Sleep well and there’s no point worrying if something is bound to happen.
The evil gods are waking up at an increasing rate. What we have to do is to become powerful enough when they come to this world or die before they come. "
"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 recovering, and my Lord's Kingdom is accelerating towards the material plane. Haha, go to sleep."
After having breakfast and returning to the cabin, Crown didn't go to sleep immediately. He sat up cross-legged and meditated on the golden light spell.
After three great weeks, he finished his visualization and couldn't wait to summon the golden wall.
[Animal Taming: 3949/5000; Level 2]
The visualization time just now was only more than forty minutes, which increased my proficiency by more than thirty points.
In other words, I can increase my proficiency in animal training without interacting with my pet. What is the principle behind this?
Another unsolved mystery, and it's exciting to know that the benefits will be enjoyed whether he finds the answer or not.
At dusk, the Iron Duke docked at the dock in Rhine City.
Under the setting sun, the water of the Rhine River was dyed orange.
The river kept flowing, and Crown got out of the boat and stared at the water, feeling slightly dazzled.
"Let's go back to the church and report to the archbishop." Savage came over and said:
"I just informed Mr. Gabri Eddie of the Security Bureau about your discovery last night. Whether it attracts their attention is not up to us."
Crown nodded: "That's good. After all, I'm just guessing. Let's go back to the church."
