Chapter 302 Fishing, from Getting Started to Giving Up
"Why are you still thinking about Ozler?" Lulu said speechlessly.
"If there's something good over there, it can't be eaten alone by Daniel and Catherine, right, Lilith?" Sean said unwillingly, looking at the person walking in front. However, Lilith was too busy to answer and was whispering to Lucas.
"Don't even think about it, it definitely wasn't you!" Lucas whispered with a firm tone, "Didn't your friend say it was the elves? They must have done those mushrooms, as many of the human magic spells originated from them!"
Lilith nodded with lingering fear. The doubts that had been accumulating in her heart finally dissipated slowly after all the analysis and thinking along the way.
Could it be an elf... She remembered the notebook she picked up in Jinghu Library a long time ago. Although she had never seen an elf, she followed the notes of that senior and studied all the way. It was as if she had also been taught by an elf teacher, so she always felt a special sense of closeness to them.
But now there are corpses all over the ground... Why do the elves hate humans so much now? Lilith frowned and thought...
--wrong!
Not to humans... Lilith shook her head again to deny her guess. From childhood to adulthood, she had never heard of the legend of elves harming people. So, who was fighting the elves to the death, the Church of Light? Or the royal family? Did Catherine know?
"——Lilith!" She was suddenly patted on the shoulder. It was Sean who caught up with her.
"Ouch, what are you doing?!" Lilith was just thinking about something and was startled, and said unhappily.
"Let's go to Ozler, Lilith! The vacation is still so long. We can't just play cards in the Rose Building until school starts like in summer vacation, right?" Sean said dissatisfiedly. He was not good at playing cards and he always lost. He really didn't want to do it again.
"We can also go to Highgarden. It's very lively during the Festival of Lights... I can cover all the expenses." The rich woman Lilith felt confident as she thought about the mountain of gold in the winery's underground warehouse.
"Then I'll choose Ozler too. What's the point of High Court?" Bobby immediately changed his stance and stood on the side of his good partner - just kidding, he wanted to become stronger, and he also wanted to be like those seniors and kill monsters with his sword handsomely!
"If we go to Ozler, although it's not very far, it will take many days by carriage. Don't you hate riding in a carriage the most?" Jaina's voice came from behind. She was studying the map in her hand.
Lucas leaned over to take a look and laughed, "All the magicians on our team are nerds. We are screwed."
"Hey, don't use range attacks!" Bobby protested. "At least Sean isn't like that. His grades aren't good enough to be a nerd."
"...Thank you!" Sean gritted his teeth.
Lucas pointed at the map in Jaina's hand and said, "Have you guys never considered water routes?"
“——Huh?” Everyone was stunned.
"Okay, I get it. You're all landlubbers." Lucas sighed, and then suddenly perked up, clapping his hands like Lilith in the past to attract everyone's attention, "Everyone, do you want to try taking a boat?"
After the marching team was silent for a few seconds——
"miss you!"
…………
"vomit--"
Bobby lay at the stern of the boat, his face pale as he vomited again.
"I regret it, I really regret it. Let's take a carriage! No! Let's go back to Gloria!" Sean next to him was not much better. He and his good brother were lying shoulder to shoulder, observing each other clearly what they had eaten in the morning.
"It's no use telling me." Lilith sat on the railing beside the boat, gently shaking the fishing rod and sighing, "Lucas is fulfilling his dream of becoming a captain. If you can persuade him to get off the boat, then go."
After the group made up their minds on impulse, they first rushed to the nearest river city, Skene Port, outside the Demon Swamp Forest, chartered a small boat, and sailed downstream along the river, heading east.
However, everyone's enthusiasm for their first boat ride did not last more than half a day, as they fell down one after another due to seasickness. Only Lucas was in high spirits, and kept circling around the captain, begging him to let him operate the rudder himself. The old captain's rejection of the sea people was visible on his face, but the blonde lady had given him so much, so he couldn't get angry and could only turn a blind eye.
When Sean thought of Lucas's expression, he lowered his head overboard in despair.
"啕——"
"Deng deng deng-"
Accompanied by the sound of merry footsteps, the few people left on the deck saw the happiest figure in the past few days.
"Ouch, are you still vomiting?" Lucas had taken off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, and ran around barefoot on the deck, looking like a sailor.
"I seriously doubt that you supported us to come to Ozler just to take this boat." Lilith pulled up the rod again... Why was it empty again? She clearly felt something was hooked just now!
"Hey, hey!" Lucas didn't refute, but proudly showed off to his companions, "It's getting dark, the captain allowed me to raise the sail today, we have to slow down a bit to be safe."
He looked so happy, and he had never been so proud even when Mr. Wolf praised him.
"If we can't get it, we'll get off the boat and you stay here." Lilith pinched another ball of bait on the hook and threw it back into the water. She didn't believe it!
"Is it okay?" Lucas' eyes lit up!
"——No, forget it." He calmed down immediately after getting excited, "My family is still in Goletia!"
"Thank God, you're still sane." Hannah sighed with a pale face. After taking a deep breath on the deck, she decided to go back and lie down for a while. "Will you go back together, Lilith? It's getting dark. Can you still see the float clearly?"
"Right away, I'll try one more stroke, the last one..." Lilith said without blinking.
Lucas had already folded the sails. Seeing this, he came over to take a look and said, "Forget it, Lilith. This thing also requires experience and skills."
"Come on, you've never seen the sea, how much more experience do you have than me?" Lilith was furious when she couldn't catch any fish. "It's all Sean and Bobby's fault, they kept vomiting and fed all the fish!"
"Tsk--" Lucas didn't argue. He picked up another fishing rod beside him, without even hanging any bait. He raised his arm, swung it around and threw it far away.
Lilith was about to speak when she felt her hand tighten and the fishing line suddenly stretched straight in her hand.
"Ah, here it comes, here it comes--!" Lilith shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of everyone on the deck.
"Eh? Mine is here too." As a result, Lucas followed closely behind. He held the fishing rod tightly and stepped back two steps. Using his clever strength, he exerted force and a big, shiny black bass leaped up with a beautiful water line and landed on the deck, still flapping its wings.
"Wow!" Sean jumped over happily and held down the jumping fish. "Supplements tonight! Any more?"
He looked at Lilith.
However, Lilith was still struggling with the fishing rod in her hand. The front end of the brittle fishing rod had been bent by the pulling. Lilith used all her strength and did not forget to compare with Lucas, "Just look, mine must be bigger than yours."
"Miss Lilith." The old captain who came out to check if the sails were furled happened to pass by with a pipe in his mouth and kindly reminded her -
"Your rod is stuck."
Lilith: …………
"Crack." The fishing rod finally couldn't withstand the pressure, broke in the middle and fell into the water.
Everyone:…………
"...At least this part is still there. It can be used as a stick. If that doesn't work, it can be used as firewood." Lucas felt guilty and tried to comfort her.
But Lilith put the remaining half of the fishing rod into the river, then suddenly raised her hands and muttered something into the water.
Before Lucas could react, he heard a crisp crackling sound and saw a flash of lightning shooting into the river. He was closest to Lilith and felt his hair flying. He turned his head silently and saw a group of fish floating on the river with their bellies turned upside down...
"You have your talent, and I have mine!" Lilith held her head high and refused to admit defeat to Lucas.
Then he pulled Hannah up and walked towards the cabin angrily - it's boring! No more fishing!
"Cruel... so cruel..." Lucas was left on the deck, looking at the white bellies in the river and sighing, then picked up the fishing net beside him.
………………
"It's too early to talk about cruelty, Mr. Flair."
In Tandin County, Zephirion grabbed the neck of the blond man in front of him and pulled him off the ground. Inside and outside the house, the mercenaries who were protecting his safety were lying on the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.
"Tell me the news about Fustwin, and maybe I will consider sparing your life." Looking at James Friel with a purple face, a bloodthirsty smile flashed across Zephirion's face.
