Chapter 1098 The Holy Griffon 1
On the endless ocean, a huge two-masted sailing ship is sailing rapidly with the help of the wind.
The surface of the hull is painted with bright paint, which has not faded due to the long-term voyage. At the bow, there are gorgeous statues that do not match the wooden hull.
On the periphery of the statue, under the sunlight, a layer of pale golden traces faintly flashed, and what was depicted on it was a ferocious giant beast.
The giant beast has the body of a lion and the wings of a giant eagle. The spread wings completely protect the cabins on both sides. On the majestic body of a lion king, the outstretched claws seem to be able to tear apart all the wind and waves in front of the ship. The sailors brought asylum.
Like the giant beast on the statue, "Holy Griffin" is the name of this giant sailing ship.
A gust of wind hit, giving the ship enough power to sail, but there was no surge of wind and waves on the surrounding sea.
On the deck, several priests in robes are constantly casting spells in rotation, creating a strong air current to propel the ship to sail.
The sail was bulging high, and at the mast where the mainsail was connected, a figure was climbing up the rope ladder.
Blowing by the strong wind, his movements were exceptionally strong, and the rope ladder kept swinging, but he was not affected at all. The wind pressed down from behind him, making him cling to the rope ladder in front of him, allowing him to climb up better.
Crawling the rope ladder is no longer a difficult task for the person in front of him, and it has even become a kind of instinct for him.
The name of the sailor who climbed the mast was Willie, who was an apprentice of the Knight Academy. Compared with his identity as a sailor, he preferred his companions to call him Knight Willie, which was something he was proud of.
Not far away, the sailors who watched all night stood on the high mast tower, noticed Willy's arrival, and waved the flag to him.
Coming to the towering mast, Willy began his daily work,
While maintaining the sail to ensure its integrity so that it would not be damaged for various reasons, Weili seemed to have discovered something, and turned his gaze to the special figures standing at the bow.
A look of astonishment emerged from Weili's expression. He never expected that these noble beings would appear on the deck of the bow together.
Weili naturally knew the people standing at the bow of the ship. The leader was the captain of the "Sacred Griffin", and one of the few noblemen on the ship, Lord Kane.
Before boarding the Holy Griffin, Willie had already heard about Lord Kane's deeds. The most famous thing was that Lord Kane, as a formal professional, persuaded and recruited the legendary man who was active in the western waters Pirate Sylvia, he himself also won the canonization of the title.
Legendary pirates... Even just thinking about it will cause fear in Willie's heart. He can't imagine how Lord Kane persuaded him to surrender. Perhaps it is something that Lord Kane and the pirate have in common, that is, a hero The existence of will helped him achieve this.
In addition, Lord Kane is also the most staunch supporter of the Queen. Willie has no doubt that once the time comes, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the Queen, just like a real knight.
On the deck, beside Lord Kane, stood an old man with white hair, a well-dressed man, and a human being covered in robes whose appearance could not be seen clearly.
The old man held a heavy tome in his hand, and was flipping through the contents of the tome from time to time, comparing it with the scene in front of him. Even Lord Kane, who was on the side, showed respect for him. The other middle-aged man frowned, looking at the sea in front of him, his gaze was erratic, and he moved his head in the direction of the book in the old man's hand from time to time.
As for the other human being in a robe, his hands were crossed in his cuffs, his head was slightly lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Wei Li was even more astonished. The people in front of him almost represented all the forces that came to the Holy Griffin during this voyage.
In Weili's impression, the old man was the leader of the cartographers who sailed with the ship, a true master cartographer, who had a very high reputation on the entire continent.
For this voyage, the old man and his apprentices joined together to accurately draw the route on the existing map. After the voyage is completed, the record of the route is extremely precious reward.
On weekdays, Willie always saw the old man's apprentices, drawing maps on the outer deck, and making minor adjustments to the route. He had never seen the old man himself, and at this time, his appearance undoubtedly made Willie felt strange.
The well-dressed man is a well-known explorer. He has visited many mysterious areas on the mainland, even some places that are called forbidden areas of life.
The explorer, who should have appeared in the stories told by the bards, sailed with them at this time, and naturally explained to Willy the unusualness of this voyage mission.
Willie recalled that according to the information given by the captain, their mission for this voyage was to explore the best route from the sea to the kingdom of elves, so as to promote more direct trade.
The levels involved in this mission are also much higher than Willy imagined, and you can even feel the participation of the power belonging to the country. Not only are there those prominent beings on board, but also a large number of priests with unfathomable strength. March.
Before that, Willie had never seen the existence of priests, and only listened to the rumors about these powerful spellcasters, let alone being in close contact with these powerful spellcasters like this voyage, feeling the powerful power of magic.
In Weili's impression, the well-dressed explorer should be regarded as the navigation consultant this time in terms of identity.
Although there is already a cartographer on the Holy Griffin, and the assistance of this explorer is not needed for the planning of the route, the calculation of the hidden reef, or even the forecast of the wind force, but for the unknown things in the ocean, there is still a need. Advice from him. .
Cartographers can deal with routine problems during the voyage, but for the existence of those unknown creatures, in terms of experience, they are completely inferior to the explorer in front of them.
As for the last humanoid creature covered in magic robes, in Willie's impression, it should be the leader of the priests on the ship, a powerful high-ranking priest, even if all the other creatures on the ship are combined, they are not his. The existence of the opponent, the high priest, is also the last guarantee of this voyage.
