In the endless sea, the Beaver was sailing at a fast speed. Because the scenery was the same all around, no one knew how far it had traveled. The people on the ship only knew that the big ship was shaking like a small boat, and from time to time it would fly up.
"Master, will there be any problems if we hit people?"
Reina said with a frown. She could vaguely hear the noise outside the door and was afraid that someone would break in.
The Demon King calmly sat on the chair and used a mortar to grind some kind of herb. The room was suddenly filled with a faint fishy smell.
"Then do you want two more people to live together?"
The Demon King asked.
Reina shook her head honestly. She was not good at getting along with strangers and was even a little scared. Thinking that there were two strangers in the room, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Then do you have any way to make those two give up this room and let us live in?"
The Demon King asked again.
Reina was in a dilemma. She scratched her head, thought about it and shook her head.
"That's why I just used the simplest method."
The Demon King said while smelling the herbs he had ground. Then, he poured them into a small bottle and added some black powder. Finally, he silently chanted a few incantations. Suddenly, with a bang, a white mushroom cloud came out of the bottle.
Reina sat on the bed, looking a little unhappy. Maybe it was because the ship was shaking so much that she was a little seasick.
No, that shouldn't be the reason. If it was her, even if she was seasick, she would definitely ask Master what are you doing ~ or something like that.
"What's wrong?"
The Demon King raised his head and asked.
Reina glanced at her master, then lowered her head and said: "Master, I feel like we are not very welcome. Just now, they kept looking at us with bad eyes."
Oh, they noticed.
The Demon King smiled with gratification. He took off the red badge on his chest and said: "Remember those eyes. This is hostility."
"But aren't we here to save people? Why … "Reina didn't continue. She couldn't understand why those people were targeting them. Shouldn't they be working together now?
"That's not it. Although it's a rescue mission, everyone on the ship has their own goals."
"Huh? Why? "Reina asked, puzzled.
At this moment, screams came from outside. It seemed that there was a conflict.
Reina looked at the Demon King anxiously. The Demon King sighed, stood up, and walked to the door. He opened the door and found many people lying in the corridor. At the same time, the door of the room diagonally opposite him was closed. From the clothes, it could be seen that it was the woman in the white robe.
Nothing much. The rooms had been temporarily allocated, and this was faster than what the Demon King had expected. The people lying in the corridor would probably join forces to snatch a room, or take over other people's rooms when they were out, or simply sleep on the deck.
No matter what, the Demon King had a countermeasure. Hopefully, they wouldn't be stupid enough to attack him.
"What happened, Master?"
Reina walked over. She saw the people lying outside through the gap of the door.
"It's nothing. It's just the law of the jungle. The rule this time is to snatch a room. Those who aren't strong enough will be stopped outside. Of course, this doesn't mean that there won't be a bed to sleep on."
The Demon King gently closed the door. Then, the door of the room slowly turned into a wall.
"Why do you have to go to this extent?"
Reina didn't understand. Although the Demon King didn't think that he could explain it to her clearly, it was better to say it. After all, she would have to face such things alone in the future.
"If the ship we're looking for is filled with gold, you should be able to understand a little."
Reina shook her head.
Sigh, as expected.
"Imagine that there's an island full of shaved ice, and you can only take one boat to get there. However, the people on the boat also know about this island by coincidence. Then, do you want more people on the boat or fewer?"
"Eh? Shaved ice? Is it those delicious ice cubes? "
The Demon King nodded.
Reina smiled and said: "Then I hope that there's only me and Master on the ship. Ah! I think I understand. "
Although her flattery was very loud, the Demon King wasn't happy because of this. He was happy because this fellow also had a time when she was enlightened.
"So that ship is filled with shaved ice?" She said with a look of realization.
Bang!
The Demon King's iron fist accurately hit Reina's head.
"Hmph! Wooden head, that's just a metaphor! You just need to know that we all want something on the ship, and we don't want it to fall into the hands of others. "The Demon King said with a bit of anger.
Reina rubbed her head in grievance and said: "Alright, I understand."
The Demon King sighed. This disciple of his was really worrisome. With how pure she was, if he wasn't by her side, who knew what would happen.
He knitted his brows. This was like a sheep that he raised suddenly being released into the wild filled with grey wolves.
It seemed like he had to hurry up with her education so that she could be independent as soon as possible.
"Then Master, isn't this ship from the Empire? Then why aren't they on the same side? Instead, they want to fight their own people? "
"You being able to notice this problem really makes Master happy. These kinds of questions can often reveal a lot of things. I think that since they aren't on the same side, it means that the Empire's side isn't as united as you think. In other words, there's internal strife in the Empire. "The Demon King didn't know if she knew the meaning of the word 'internal strife', but he still said it.
Reina's brows knitted tightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Then Master, since it's like this, does our Guild also have internal strife?"
Her words shocked the Demon King. She was actually able to think about the Guild's matters in reverse.
The Demon King smiled and patted her head, saying, "Your thoughts aren't bad, but I feel that the possibility isn't high. The Guild's mobility is too high, which also means that the Empire can easily infiltrate. That's why there should be some of our companions on the ship. It's just that we don't know who they are."
"Ah! Really! "Reina's eyes lit up when she heard the word 'companions'.
"Yes, but don't hold too much hope. No matter what, we're still on the Guild's side. No matter how much internal strife there is on the Empire's side, they'll still target us first. That's why we shouldn't run around randomly for the next few days just in case."
"Okay." Reina nodded.
The Demon King looked outside the window and pondered for a while.
The next few days probably won't be peaceful. Some terrifying things might happen, so you have to be mentally prepared. These were the Demon King's thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud. That was because once he said it, her thoughts might run wild and she wouldn't be able to rest properly. Right now, the most important thing was to recover enough energy to face the next challenge.
"Master, speaking of which, where did Mikeji go? Why can't I find him? "
Reina opened her backpack and asked.
Hearing this, the Demon King raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh, him. He went to do some interesting things."
At this time, in a certain room, a man with cat-like eyes was sitting stiffly in the room, facing the window and looking at the sea.
Really, why did Master make me do this kind of mission!!
Mikeji howled in his heart.
