Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want… This place was already like this before we got here.” Linley sighed and put the girl on the ground, while the ice crystal froze her from the neck down.

"Then it sounds like there's nothing to talk about?" The man said as he handed the thorn to his left hand, and with his right hand he once again drew out the bladeless psychic blade.

"There has never been one from the beginning. If you violate the rules, you will be punished... This is the rule." The Grand Inquisitor said as he raised his pistol again and pulled the trigger!

The mortar-like roar appeared again in Yanfeng City, and the shooting power of a Grand Inquisitor would definitely not be much lower than that of a cannonball!

"boom!"

How fast would a bullet just fired fly? Linley didn’t know, but he didn’t need to know! The psychic blade released a black and red blade of light in an instant, and at the same time, the hunter held the long sword and made a diagonal slash from bottom to top!

The black and red sword light flashed in front of the Tripoli girl, but the two shrapnel that fell beside the man made her eyes widen: "Tsk... cut open?" So my teacher's attack can be resolved in this way?

But then Linley’s attack made the girl’s throat extremely dry. The hand cannon that shone with the color of ink roared one shot after another, and each bullet shot towards the Grand Inquisitor like a thorn on a rose vine!

In a sense, this hunter's fighting style is more inquisitor-like than that of the Inquisitor.

Could it be that the commander was also going to split the bullet with a long sword like this guy? The girl was looking forward to it, but the Grand Inquisitor chose a simpler and more effective way - dodging. The two figures that were originally clearly visible turned into two elusive shadows at this moment.

"Dang~"

"Dang~"

"Dang~"

The psychic blade in Linley’s right hand had been put away by him at some point. The thorns in his left hand and the fist wrapped in electricity in his right hand became his weapons for close combat. Every time the hunter’s fist collided with the Inquisitor’s sword, a sound of metal clashing could be heard.

The communication between the two also unfolded in this stormy attack and defense: "The people of this city are using living sacrifices to communicate with the sea, strangers."

“You may not believe this, but we just found out that there shouldn’t be any more fish in this sea.” Linley used the thorns in his left hand to deflect the opponent’s pistol and punched the opponent’s chest with his right fist!

"boom!"

"puff...."

The Grand Inquisitor spat out a mouthful of blood and was hammered against the wall by a huge force: "This means that the companions of the terrifying fish in the sea have come ashore... Well... Go find them, stranger."

“You want to cooperate?” Linley looked at the man who was trying to pull himself out of the wall with some surprise. “I thought your brains were glued together.”

"I can turn a blind eye... Compared to the monsters who are willing to show mercy to me, the creatures in the sea are the first targets of the Inquisition." The Grand Inquisitor said as he put away his hand cannon and picked up the lantern on his waist again:

"You can call me Dario."

016. Dawn

“Then let’s call a truce for now, Inquisitor.” Linley waved his hand and walked towards the Inquisitor who was still lying on the ground. “Your apprentice?”

"Well, Elini." Dario introduced the girl briefly, and the hunter still had a smile on his face and snapped his fingers, and the ice that originally bound the girl shattered:

"Look, your superiors think we're okay, so from now on we're half partners."

Elini ignored Linley and looked at Dario with wide eyes: "Sir, this man...he...he...the problems in this city must be related to that Agor man!"

“If you think it’s related, then go ahead and find it, but remember that what we care about is the result. If you think your correction will have the right result, then go ahead and do it.” The High Inquisitor said softly. Although Lin Lei had already retracted his force in his attack just now, that punch still caused a lot of strain on his body.

"One last reminder, Judge - your eyes and your sword must be fixed on Iberia's greatest threat."

“Understood, sir.” Elini then made a gesture unique to the Inquisition, and then chased straight to the place where Skadi and others had left. Linley did not choose to stop her - the reason was very simple. Compared with Dario, the fighting power of this little girl could not have any impact on Skadi and Tallulah at all.

“So what are you worried about?” Seeing that Elini had gone far away, Linley lit up another cigarette and looked at the silent Grand Inquisitor. “Is there really something in the sea?”

"The Fear Fish, that creature belongs to the ocean, and is Iberia's long-standing enemy." Dario turned his head and looked at the coast. Although he was wearing a mask, the hunter could still feel that the Inquisitor's sight was still extending to the depths of the sea:

"They are coming up. We have to deal with them."

The Grand Inquisitor drew his sword and walked towards the beach where the creatures that looked like fish and flowers were swarming without looking back. "Now do what you need to do, hunter."

“Don’t you need help?” Linley blew out a smoke ring without moving, while Dario just shook his head.

"This alone is nothing, but the fact that so many can emerge at once means that there must be a nest nearby!"

"Then I hope you can accomplish your goal, Inquisitor."

Lin Lei shrugged and walked to the other side, as if time was passing faster at the beach. It was still daylight when he followed Anita and the others to watch the draw, but now the sun had already set.

“Time flies by really fast, don’t you think, Miss Goletia?” Linley looked at the Deep Sea Hunter who was still in the shadows. “If you want to hide yourself from me, you may need to clean yourself from head to toe.”

"You smell like fish that have been fermenting in a pile of fish at a seafood market for a day." The man said in a rather euphemistic way, and Gloria shook her head.

"I want to vomit more than you do... But I can't clean it now because this smell can cover up a lot of smells. Those things... The terrifying fish in the mouth of the Inquisitor are sea heirs, and they will go ashore today... According to the bishop..."

"Is it because of the tide, or are they going to have food?"

Hearing the deep-sea hunter’s words, Linley immediately raised his eyebrows. “But the residents here are all skin and bones. Can they really get enough to eat?”

"Who knows? But come with me first... You must want to know what this church looks like." Gloria stretched out her hand and made an invitation. "The priest is preparing for his appearance tomorrow. There won't be anyone else here at this time."

"That's great. Lead the way."

.......The dividing line on the other side......

At this time, Elini had already caught up with Skadi and the others. The young inquisitor drew his rapier again and looked at the three of them calmly: "Agorians, don't run away, come with me!"

Skadi ignored her and turned to look at Tallulah, who had drawn her sword. “Since this Inquisitor managed to get here, does that mean Linley lost?”

"How is that possible? Even if you put all the people in this city together, they still can't be his opponent." Tallulah rolled her eyes in annoyance. "There is only one reason why this little girl came after me."

"Ok?"

“Lin Lei is not happy to care about him or... let her come with us to help us.” Draco said as he pointed the black sword in his hand at the ground. A ball of flame burned slowly on it, bright and warm, and it could also illuminate the pile of ‘sea heirs’ in front:

"Do you recognize these things in front?"

“Hai Si, that’s what I’ve been hunting before.” Skadi shook her head. She instinctively wanted to take out her greatsword, but she realized that she didn’t bring it with her. Now she had nothing except the dagger that Lin Lei had lent her.

"Can you handle it? If you can, I will take responsibility for this little trouble." The killer whale girl said as she drew out her remaining light and looked at Elini who was also carefully looking at the terrifying fish.

"It should be fine." Tallulah nodded and grabbed Anita's hand and sent her to Skadi: "Anita's safety is in your hands... and I want to try this new power!"

The next moment, the raging flames surrounded the dragon girl's body and woven into a pair of blazing wings. The red-gold flaming sword completely replaced the black sword that Tallulah had originally used. Both this sword and this power had a nice name, which was:

"Dawn." Tallulah roared out this super power in a low voice. The hot air current directly carried her into the sky. One after another, flames poured down from the Sword of Dawn like raindrops!

The armor woven of flames and the golden wings made of flames made Draco look exactly like the Valkyrie in the classics. Every flame released from her sword burned all the slimy-looking sea heirs crawling on the ground into ashes!

But Tallulah's attack was not just that. The scorching sunlight pushed her towards the coast like a jet engine. The girl could feel that there were more monsters to be burned there! And the blazing light energy ignited the entire night, making this pitch-dark night almost as bright as day.

The crazy-looking old lady from Petra opened the window, looked at the flames gliding through the sky, and murmured:

"Is this....dawn?"

017. Too honest

"Is that man your companion?"

Gladia looked at the sound that was like a meteor in the sky and asked in a low voice, while Linley nodded:

"Yes, but I haven't seen Dawn for a long time. The last time I saw him, the old man Osiris seemed to have not been possessed by Savathun yet."

The hunter stroked his chin, consciously erasing the days when he was unable to take care of himself because of the group of finger-snapping warlocks in the Crucible Arena: "So we are just walking in openly like this?"

Linley pointed at the closed door of the church in front of him and said, “Even if you said there was a beautiful bishop who could turn into a goat boss lying inside, I would still believe it.”

"I don't know about that... The bishop asked me to bring you here. He said it would be best if we could bring the flying creature with us." Gloria shook her head, "But I don't know what he wants to do."

When Linley pushed open the door of the church and looked inside, he was a little disappointed. There was neither a young bishop named Amelia nor the various research equipment he had imagined. It was just an extremely ordinary and old Iberian church.

The rows of wooden benches covered in dust were already creaking under the erosion of the sea breeze and time, but fortunately the windows and beams on both sides of the chapel were still intact. Linley walked silently to the front of Goletia and stood in front of the pulpit in the church.

There was indeed nothing in the entire church, but that did not mean there was nothing underneath the church. Linley was certain that there must be something in the cemetery of this church that was modeled after the Lateran Church! The feeling that he was almost in the nest of an insect swarm was constantly ringing in Linley’s mind.

At this time, an extremely tall figure appeared in front of him and Gloria. It was a humanoid creature - the dark and streamlined muscles and the chest emitting a faint blue light all told of the extraordinary nature of this "monster".

Before Linley could say anything, Goletia, who was standing behind him, had already revealed the identity of this being: “Hai Si.”

Although his appearance was completely different from those sea creatures that crawled up from the shore, he shared the same aura of the sea. Then this sea creature spoke—although he had no face, he did speak.

"Ishar-mla, I can feel her instinctive fear, and the source of her fear is you..."

The Terran language that was resonating from an unknown part of the body was much more attractive than Linley had imagined. However, Linley tilted his head and looked at Hai Si, whose head was as big as a tree root. “You are talking about... Ishamara, what is that? I don’t remember knowing such a thing...”

"You smell like her, but you don't know... She is Ishamara." Hai Si's voice was intermittent. It was obvious that he was not very good at speaking. Then he looked at Gloria beside him:

"Sister, I can feel your thoughts... quite complicated."

“You… won’t understand.” Goletia said in a low voice, suppressing the murderous intent surging in her heart, “Because… you scum have no feelings or emotions at all. You can’t even sing or dance!”

“We… indeed don’t have any,” the sea heir answered honestly, and then he looked at Linley again: “Your flesh and blood are very tempting, but… we can’t beat you, so can you please keep a distance from Ishar-mla for the next period of time.”

"I have something I want to ask her. We have no ill will towards you..."

Such an honest statement immediately left Lin Lei, who had already rewarded this weirdo with a golden spear, speechless. It was the first time he saw someone who sincerely didn’t want to fight him but also wanted to eat him so bluntly.

"Can I ask you what you want to ask her?"

The hunter placed his hand on the handle of the thorn, narrowing his eyes as he examined the 'first speaker', while Hai Si continued to answer honestly:

"Ishar-mla doesn't seem to know that she is Ishar-mla. I and some of my fellow comrades in the group hope to help her realize this. Don't you agree... Gla-dia?"

"Who knows?" Goletia narrowed her eyes, and her blood-red pupils looked particularly dangerous at the moment: "Is this what you want to do today? But Skadi is indeed a little unclear about her identity, so..."

"Is it okay?" Hai Si turned his head and looked at the main person.

“It’s not impossible, but what are you willing to pay for?” Linley sneered, “How can you get something for nothing?”

Although he didn't know what it meant to get something for nothing, Hai Si understood that the other party wanted a reward, and he had also made preparations - it was a rib belonging to Hai Si, snow-white and emitting bursts of coldness. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this thing was top-notch whether for collection or for making into a weapon.

The speaker did not say anything but held the rib in his hands and slowly approached Linley. It could be said that this sea heir demonstrated the law of the jungle and servility to the fullest.

Linley did not hesitate for too long. He picked up the rib, which was definitely not light, and put it away. Whether making this thing into a new harpoon or transforming it into a qualified strange weapon, it would take time and equipment.

After seeing Linley accept the gift, the sea heir disappeared into the church without stopping. Gloria looked at him and said, “I thought you would take action.”

“Why would I do that? Just because I accepted the gift doesn’t mean I will listen to it.” Linley looked at the other person in surprise. “If something was wrong I would immediately stop the conversation. But is this what you want to know?”

"In a sense, I do know what I want." The deep-sea hunter hesitated and whispered, "You should know that we have the same blood as those guys, and the Ishar-mla in the monster's mouth was our former hunting target. The one who gave it the final blow..."

"Is that our Miss Skadi?"

"Yes, so I have figured out one thing. I hope you can keep what happened tonight a secret from her." For the first time, Goletia's voice was filled with sincerity. "I hope she can remember her duty as a deep-sea hunter and live well..."

“Of course, but as I just said, this requires an exchange.” Linley blinked: “How about a dance as a trade?”

018. Dance

Although it was not a complete transformation from a cold and frosty woman to a smiling one, Linley could sense that the woman who was spinning and jumping under his traction was quite happy. Both the rhythm of her body and the rhythm of her breathing were silently revealing this information.

"You know, in the past, deep-sea hunters would hold a dance party after every hunting victory. We would sing and dance to celebrate the victory."

Goletia said this out of the blue, and after spinning around, she leaned against Linley’s chest:

“Whether it’s poetry, painting, or music, it’s proof that everyone has lived under the starry sky, isn’t it?”

"You're right. Are you feeling better now?"

As a hunter who once worked under Cayde-Six, Linley’s dancing skills were naturally not bad. He could perfectly match every beat and every movement with the woman beside him—even though he had never danced a similar dance before.

"You are just like Kal'tsit, you keep too many things in your heart... Sometimes it would be better if you say it out, but you just won't say it." He sighed softly while throwing the Deep Sea Hunter out like a yo-yo and pulling it in front of him.

"If it's Kal'tsit, that's normal... If there's a chance, I'll talk to you about everything about Agor and myself..."

Goletia smiled. It must be said that the smile of this frost-type beauty was even more stunning than the silver moon in the sky. Even Lin Lei couldn’t help but lose his mind at this moment. The girl’s subsequent words once again pulled him back to reality from his fantasy of ‘how many children to have, where to buy a school district house’:

"But now, let's dance to our heart's content!"

This dance for just the two of them lasted for half an hour under the gaze of the moonlight, and the dance ended with Gloria lying in Linley’s arms.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how do you know that I really want to dance?"

“Because when you were talking to that Sea Si, that was the only sentence that was filled with a strong sense of resentment.” Linley chuckled and released his hand. The Deep Sea Hunter also took a step back in a very serious manner and stood where he was.

"You are more considerate than I thought, and your dancing skills are better than all my dance partners... I hope that after this hunt, I can still invite you to be my dance partner again."

"There will be this opportunity, so find your prey as soon as possible and end this hunt."

Just as Linley waved his hand and prepared to leave, Gloria grabbed his hand, twisted his body, and offered her soft, slightly fragrant lips. Her blood-red eyes were filled with many other emotions at this moment.

Half a minute later, the two parted their lips, and a silver thread looked crystal clear under the moonlight: "This is to thank you for dancing with me. Now go back to your team, Deruijie..."

.......At the same time on the other side......

Talulah, who was as powerful as a phoenix, had already used up her special move - in fact, the girl wanted to continue flying in the sky for a while, but the light energy reserves in her body were really not enough, so she could only return to Skadi and the others with great regret.
