Since the Conch is not a large ship, it cannot sail too far away from the coastline due to various factors such as supplies. Even though Vincent and others could no longer see the scenery of the land, Captain Jebo had a clear understanding of where they were now.

However, within a few days, Shelley began to miss the scenery on land. It wasn't that she was tired of wandering on the sea all day, she was just annoyed that Vincent locked himself in the room and never came out. After all, the only scenery tour guide that can satisfy Shelley is the mage.

Without being able to vent on the crew, training Sokka became Shelley's only pleasure.

"Remember, wherever I throw this piece of wood, you shoot." Shelley tossed a piece of wood up and down in her hand, which she collected after breaking several boxes. She said: "If you hit it, there will be a reward. If not, you are not allowed to eat the fruit."

With such rewards and punishments, Soka can always devote himself to studying with full energy.

Mond, Shelley and Sokka all know that it is very dangerous to disturb a mage who is immersed in research, but the crew on the ship did not realize Vincent's true identity. Although ordinary sailors deliberately leave enough private space for this young "distinguished guest", today, Captain Jeb had to knock on the door of Vincent's room.

"Mr. Vincent! Are you in there?" He heard the sound of pacing back and forth in the room in advance, thus confirming that the young man was not sleeping, and then he knocked on the wooden door: "Today there is a man on the ship. Can you please open the door on this important day?"

There was laughter in the room, full of youthful atmosphere, which reminded the captain of the stories he heard when he was young. In the ocean, there are banshees who seduce sailors with their songs. They guide the ships toward the thick fog and then crash on the rocks. The only ladies on the ship were on the deck, and the female voice that appeared in Vincent's room brought back all the bad imaginations of the captain.

then. With a bang, the door to Vincent's room was broken open by the captain's shoulder. Jebo covered his ears and rushed in, only to find Vincent looking at him with surprised eyes.

"Mr. Captain, what's wrong with you?" The mage put down his pen and stood up from his seat. He said: "I was just going to open the door for you. Is there an emergency on the ship?"

Jebo's eyes scanned the entire room and found nothing wrong. He put down his hands covering his ears and said apologetically: "I'm sorry. I heard a strange noise and thought something happened."

"It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Vincent smiled: "I just heard you say that today is a big day on the ship. What on earth could make everyone so excited?"

"It's like this. Today is Ningfeng Day. All crew members cannot return to the cabin, otherwise bad luck will happen." Jiebo chewed the tobacco in his mouth twice, and then said: "But now, this The day has turned into a carnival for the crew. Tonight on deck. There will be a small party."

"Oh. It turns out that this day has already arrived, and I haven't paid attention to it." Vincent stretched and said, "It seems I should take a rest. Are there any activities at the banquet today?"

"They are all vulgar celebrations." JB scratched his head and said, "The crew drinks, dances, and then plays cards and gambles for money. That's basically it. It doesn't make much sense." He paused and then continued. : "But it was very lively. If you want to watch, I can arrange a few seats on the bridge so you can enjoy it without being disturbed."

"No, we don't need that special seat." Vincent took out a pocket from his waist and handed it to the captain: "Tell the crew. I will provide a bag of gold coins as a bet. As long as they can beat me, Just take the money. In addition, captain, go and get some fresh dishes and wine. Don’t just give fresh food to us people, so that everyone can be happy.”

"You are so generous." The captain took the bag and after weighing it, he knew that the contents inside were of great value. He was about to leave to get some good things, but suddenly turned around and said to Vincent: "Sir, if you want to bet, try not to bet against the one-eyed Villanse. In addition to being able to sing a good song, He is also very strong in gambling.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain." Vincent smiled and said, "I just want to have fun, winning or losing doesn't matter."

"That's good, Mr. Vincent, I'll go and get busy first." Jebo quickly disappeared on the ship's ladder. He had forgotten all about hearing the strange noise.

Vincent picked up the powerful staff standing in the corner. The necromantic orb on it was shrouded in a gray mist. In the thick swirling clouds, a pair of eyes could be seen peeking out. Vincent recited the incantation, and the white light from his palm pressed the gray smoke into the inside of the magic bead , restoring everything to calm.

"I didn't expect that this area of water would attract so many innocent souls, and I would also find many female demons. Are there dangerous reefs near here?" Vincent shook his head and said, "I haven't been out for a few days. I don't know what Shelley will do. I won’t be angry. I hope the party tonight will make her happy.”

The first person to see the mage walking onto the deck was the Mond knight who was fishing. He took up the fishing rod since he discovered that Sokka liked to eat fish very much. The old knight waved hello to Vincent and then turned his attention to his fishing line.

"Vincent, you're finally out." Shelley threw the wood chips so far that Sokka almost missed the target. "It's not easy. It seems that your research has made a lot of progress, right?"

"There's still a long way to go. Studying that stuff doesn't happen overnight." Vincent stood on the side of the boat and let the little angel take a rest. He said, "Since it's going to take so long, I'm not in a hurry. There's a party tonight, so I can relax a bit ."

"Party?" Sokka rushed forward: "Brother Vincent, will there be a lot of delicious food there?"

"Of course there will be." Vincent then introduced the customs of Ning Fengri to these people , and told them not to go back to the cabin after nightfall to avoid violating the crew's taboos, and then said: "I'm going to take a look at Mond's fishing rod. He It doesn’t fit the feeling of a party if you never catch a big fish.”

"Then I'm looking forward to the performance tonight." Shelley said with a smile, "I hope it's as interesting as you said."

"Yes, yes." Vincent came to Knight Mond and patted him on the shoulder: "Knight, what kind of fish are you going to catch ? It seems that your harvest is not very good."

"You haven't been on the deck these days. How do you know?" Knight Mond suddenly raised his hand, but found that there was nothing on the fishhook. He was a little disappointed and was about to hang the bait again, and said: "Should I change to a fishing net? This is indeed a bit slow."

"Yes. If you are quick, I can eat more fresh parallel imports in the past few days." Vincent took Mond Knight's fishing rod over and took a closer look at the material of the hook: "Although it is not ideal, it can still be done. Use it. Let you see how I fish today."

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

After speaking, Vincent looked around to see what was going on around him and made sure that no crew member was looking towards them. Quietly cast magic on the fishhook, then quickly throw the shining yellow hook into the water.

"Hold the fishing rod, Knight Mond." Vincent put the fishing rod in his hand, then picked up the rope on the deck and tied it to the knight's waist: "Be sure to hold on tight, there will be big fish taking the bait."

Mond watched the mage tie himself to the big boat. Although he was a little nervous, he was more confused: "Vincent, what are you doing? What kind of fish are you fishing for?"

"Shark." Vincent said with a smile: "I cast a spell on the fishhook to charm animals. The bigger the shark, the more it will regard the fishhook as a delicious food. Naturally, they will not let go, and there is no way to let go, so It’ll be up to you then.”

"Shark? Is that delicious?" Mond held the fishing rod tightly. How could the knights living in Moon Harbor City not know the danger of this creature? Naturally, he used 100% of his strength to fight with it: "It won't cause any harm to the ship, will it?"

"No, no." Vincent kept looking at the situation around the fishhook with his discerning eyes. He suddenly shouted: "Everyone, hold on to things around you, the ship is about to shake violently!"

After about a quarter of an hour. Jiebo looked at the bottles of good wine that had been knocked over in the bumps with distress. Soka rubbed the small bump on his head. The white tiger was still dizzy and couldn't find the direction and was walking the "cat walk". Vincent looked at the sweating profusely. Mond laughed loudly: "Knight, how are you? Is the event now open?"

"Yes." Knight Mond threw away the fishing rod that was broken into two pieces and put the heavy sword back into its scabbard. However, he looked at the huge shark tied to the side of the ship with relief. Such a fight was actually enough to carve a shark pattern on his original armor. He wiped his sweat and said, "This is enough to feed the whole ship."

"Yes." Vincent used a stick to pry open the shark's mouth, found the hook and threw it from a distance: "One shark is enough, you don't need that many. But you are still responsible for cutting it open, I But I don’t have that much strength.”

"Leave this matter to me." Shelley quietly appeared behind Vincent. She drew her newly acquired rapier. Then he estimated the size of the shark and said, "Just in time to try my weapon.

"Do you really know how to use this weapon?" Vincent said with confusion: "It will cause a rotating explosion in the puncture wound. If you use it to cut fish, we will only find fish meat at night. Scumbag."

"This is what you told me, not what I asked you." Shelley inserted the thin sword back again: "Of course I know that you need to use a knife to cut fish, not a sword. I was just trying to trick you."

"It doesn't matter." Vincent shrugged : "Actually, I haven't told you all the functions of the sword. You still have to figure it out for yourself. Now, I'd better go and see how Sokka is doing." After saying that, the mage smiled. Walk towards the bow.

Time always flies when you are busy. Night had fallen by the time the crew finished dealing with the shark. The fragrant fish soup and chewy fish meat dispelled all Soka's sleepiness. And Vincent once again increased the total amount of bonuses, so all the sailors decided to show off their skills all night long.

In the dark night on the sea, except for the stars in the sky and three beautiful crescent moons, only the Conch was still brightly lit. All the usable wind lanterns were taken out and gathered at the bow of the boat, illuminating the sea around the boat . What was originally a peaceful day for the crew to leave the sea and return to the shore has gradually evolved into a celebration for the crew to reminisce about life on the shore. Although bonfires could not be set off like on land, the same loud and joyful singing came, which merged with the sound of waves stirred by the bow of the ship and floated far away.

"Soka, drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." Vincent picked up the handkerchief to help Soka wipe away the traces of soup around his mouth , and said with a smile: "Don't eat like that tiger of yours."

"Vincent, today's food is much more delicious than what those sailors cooked." Shelley approached the mage and said, "How do you know how to cook?"

"No. I won't." Vincent snapped his fingers, and a few specks of glittering dust fell from his fingers. He smiled slyly: "But I will make you feel that the rice is very delicious, no matter what your taste is, it will be satisfied."

"Using magic again." Shelley tilted her head and looked at the celebrating sailors on the other side of the deck. Obviously Vincent's fish soup was not as popular as the rum, and those people were a little drunk.

"Mr. Vincent, eh!" a sailor said, holding up a bottle: "To your health and fish soup, cheers!"

The mage raised the cup symbolically but did not drink it. Anything detrimental to maintaining a clear mind. Vincent is a non-sticker, but that doesn't stop him from using magic to cool down the wine and make it more delicious. "For a safe voyage!" the mage responded.

"Yes! For a safe journey!"

After gaining enough strength from the wine, the warriors of the sea began to show off their singing voices. The songs that only sailors can understand contain all their feelings, whether they are magnificent or exciting, whether they are sad or longing, they all echo in the dark night for a long time. Since the crew members on the Conch came from all over the world, the common languages they spoke differed in various ways. Soka and Shelley were not able to understand what kind of story those lyrics told, but it did not hinder the two groups of people from understanding and communicating with each other.

Shelley declined the sailors' request to let her sing, and instead pushed Sokka to the front desk. With the encouragement of Mond and Vincent. The little angel blushed and sang a song in celestial language in praise of the sun. Although only Vincent and Mond present could understand it. But the unique beautiful and graceful pronunciation of Celestial Language alone can make these sailors intoxicated, not to mention that Sokka also has a naturally smooth voice.

"That's great! Little girl!" After drinking three more glasses of wine for Sokka's singing, the sailors brought up the empty wine barrels. And brought up the dice and cards that had been prepared. They all looked at Vincent expectantly, but they could still remember the jingling of gold coins in their drunken minds.

It's not that these sailors are greedy for money, but this activity is essential for Ning Fengri. Legend has it that the happy laughter of sailors can drive away possible storms and bring endless luck; and in the minds of these sailors, there is nothing happier than winning completely in gambling.

This is also because in the center of the sea, it is really impossible to win the favor of a beautiful woman.

"Okay, I'll try to play a few games." Vincent learned all the tricks in the tavern from the dwarf Newton, including many dice and card games. He dragged Shelley to stand next to him, and then said: "You guys start."

For Vincent, who has an eye for insight, a simple game like playing dice and guessing the size of the dice .

The probability of guessing incorrectly is close to zero. However, he still decided not to make the sailors too sad, and it was necessary to deliberately lose a few times. Shelley naturally knows these tricks of Vincent, but she also understands that the mage is just teaching her the rules of these games in disguise.

"You should take over." After a while, Vincent handed over the position to Shelley: "If I win again, the sailors will say that I don't keep my words."

"How is that possible, Mr. Vincent?" The laughter continued: "We are all very grateful to you, you are already very generous."

After the mage left. She was replaced by Shelley, who was obviously still a newbie . After being intrigued by Vincent, the sailors all wanted to get some gold coins from this lady. However, they obviously underestimated the agility and coordination of the dark elves. After the first few failures, Shelley quickly mastered the skills, and then a large amount of gold coins flowed to Shelley's wallet.

Vincent had no choice but to lose more in other games so that these sailors could still have the capital to "fight" with Shelley. So he no longer used his nimble fingers to play with cards, but began to obey the rules honestly.

As for the one-eyed Villanse , he had no luck. When he wins money with Shelley, he will inevitably lose it with the mage Vincent; but when he loses to Shelley, Vincent will let him win two more games. While other sailors earned a lot of money, Villanse actually neither lost nor lost. No wonder he kept praying to the God of Luck to get his good luck back.

Sokka hugged the tiger as a soft quilt and slept on Mond's lap. The old knight's cloak helped her resist the cold wind on the sea. Just when the first glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, Vincent suddenly stood up. Only then did all the sailors notice that the young passenger's eyes were different from ordinary people. There seemed to be black vortexes moving in the pupils. But nothing could compare to what Vincent said next.

He picked up the long staff beside him and pointed at the bottom of the boat with his right hand: "Are there any huge monsters in this water area?"

"No, I've never heard of it." Captain Jeb poked his head out of the wheelhouse : "Mr. Vincent, what's wrong?"

"I think you're about to see it." He frowned, thinking about countermeasures.
