"So you know there's a chest on the ship, but you don't know what's inside?" The Demon King questioned.
"Yes, that's right. Our people haven't found out what's inside, so I don't need to hide it from you." Kanitov crossed his arms in front of him, the beard on his face twitching as if he was helpless.
"What's this ship for? Since you don't trust the Ophiuchus Empire, why are you cooperating with them? "
Kanitov let out a short breath, seemingly a bit displeased as he said, "Young people shouldn't ask so many questions. You just need to think of a way to complete the mission."
The Demon King was silent. He looked at the other without saying a word, as if saying that if you don't tell me, I won't help you.
"You saw the five star bounty outside the Guild, right?" Kanitov suddenly said.
The Demon King nodded. That legendary bounty was to find the legendary trident. Could it be that this was what was inside the chest?
"I can only tell you that one of the goals of this ship is related to it. To sail on the sea for a long time, not only do they need people who are used to living on the sea, they also need a ship that can withstand storms. And the Ophiuchus Empire has the best shipbuilding technology in the world."
Kanitov paused. He put his hand under the table and pulled open a drawer, taking out a glass bottle that contained a model of a ship.
"Do you recognize this ship?"
He asked.
The Demon King shook his head. The craftsmanship of this exquisite boat was truly amazing.
"This is the Sea God, a legendary ship from fifty years ago. At that time, the Guild was still called the Adventurer Association. This was the largest ship the Guild had at that time, specializing in exploring the sea in search of ancient ruins, as well as undiscovered continents and islands."
Saying this, he put the bottle on the table. A white substance floated inside the bottle, like snow.
"At that time, the greatest adventurer of the sea, Horn, discovered an ancient ruin. There were signs that indicated that the Sea God's Trident might exist, and that it was hidden on an island. The ancient ruin also gave some clues."
"Then why haven't they found it yet?"
"Because the Sea God encountered a storm on its way back, we lost contact with the Union."
Kanitov let out a long sigh. He slowly lowered his head, and his expression became somewhat sorrowful. There was a black and white photo in the room. The Demon King saw that there were two rows of people standing in it. Standing in the middle of the first row was a young dwarf, and a young and handsome man wearing leather boots and a military cap was smiling as he placed one hand on the dwarf's shoulder.
"So, one of the purposes of the Albis is to find the Poseidon?"
The Demon King retracted his gaze.
"Yes, many fishermen found a wandering ghost ship in the sea. We suspect that it's the Sea God." The other party paused, and the Demon King pondered for a moment.
"That's enough. You've asked enough. No one will tell you what to do next. You can only rely on yourself to solve the problem, adventurer," Kanitov said. It was obvious that he was telling the Demon King to leave.
Although there were still many things he wanted to ask, the Demon King still chose to leave. After all, for him, the more the unknown, the more fun it would be.
At this time, the iron door opened again. Just as he was about to leave the room, Kanitov's voice came from behind him.
"Right, you must be careful of the Empire. They are definitely not your friends."
The Demon King turned around and saw a pair of bright blue eyes. They did not look like the eyes of a living creature, but rather like glowing crystals.
The iron door closed, and the bronze statues on both sides crossed their weapons in front of the door. The Demon King shrugged and left.
"Master! I've been waiting for you for a long time. "
Just as he went down the stairs, Reina's voice came from afar. She was sitting on a chair, looking back at the Demon King. It was unknown what she had eaten, but her mouth was red.
"Master, come quickly. This ice is delicious!"
She said excitedly. The Demon King walked over and found several empty glass cups on her table. There was only some red syrup left inside. Reina was holding a half-eaten shaved ice in her hand, and there was an uneaten one in front of her.
"Eating so many cold things, be careful of your stomach not feeling well. If you have diarrhea in the afternoon, then wait for me at the hotel."
"Hey!! No, master! I don't want to eat anymore. "
Reina immediately put down the spoon in her hand and said.
"Sorry, I saw that she was a bit bored waiting by herself, so I made her some shaved ice." At this time, Elena came out and said.
The Demon King glanced at her and did not say anything.
In the following time, the two of them bought some dry food on the street. Fortunately, they received a small amount of reward, otherwise, the Demon King would have a headache. In addition to food, he also bought some diving equipment, diving gloves, diving clothes, and so on. Of course, he did not need these things.
"The magic in the sea is different from the magic on land. A lot of magic can be used on land, but can't be used in the sea, so you need this thing."
The Demon King held a harpoon and said to Reina. She nodded and took the harpoon that was about the same height as her from her master's hand.
At this time, they returned to the hotel, carried their luggage, and checked out.
"Are you leaving so soon?"
The hotel owner said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm going out to do a mission. I might be back in ten days or so." The Demon King said.
"A mission to the sea? Then you have to be careful. Recently, there have been a lot of accidents on the sea. "The hotel owner said with concern.
"So we are going to save them now!" Reina said loudly.
At this time, the homeless man sleeping on the stool opened his eyes.
The hotel owner was stunned, then said with a smile: "That's really amazing. Little Reina, do your best, but don't try to be brave. Safety first."
"Yes!"
Reina nodded fiercely.
In the afternoon, according to the agreed world, the two arrived at the port early. Because of the storm last night, the port was now full of ships, and only a few ships were sailing on the sea.
There were not many people gathered, only about twenty or thirty people. Most of them were from the Empire, wearing white hats, and a few who did not wear hats were from the Union. Of course, there were also many adventurers from the Union wearing headscarves. They took off the adventurer's badge, and the Demon King did not know who was an adventurer, so he could only distinguish by the headscarf.
The search and rescue ship did not seem to be coming from this city, but from another city. It was far past the agreed time. Just when everyone thought that it would not come, a white sail suddenly appeared on the horizon.
"It's finally here!"
The people on the shore shouted.
A strange sailboat quickly approached the dock. It had a unique style. There were two strange iron plates on the bow, which looked like two front teeth. The bow of the ship was made into an oval shape to match the two front teeth. It was also painted with brown paint and two eyes.
This was the search and rescue ship of the Ophiuchus Empire, the Beaver.
