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

"Stab~"

The girl in the red skirt stood in front of the man with a big sword in hand, and the sword that could be said to be invincible even directly cut the tentacle in two: "You guy, you can obviously hide, why don't you move."

The girl turned around, her eyes filled with a hint of affection: "In this case, I can only protect you, right?"

But then Skadi muttered again:

“But there’s nothing wrong with this.”

“Would you like to join my team later? At least on Rhodes Island, it won’t be a problem for me to recruit another person into the team.” Linley chuckled as he raised the thorns. The power that seemed to come from the sun gathered in the cave!

Then the ferocious hand cannon was coated with a layer of gold, and then, accompanied by a roar, a beam of golden light turned into the muzzle and spurted out towards the bishop!

"boom!"

The heat like a solar storm was concentrated on this ray. Without any resistance, the bishop, who was like a mountain of flesh, was pierced through. The terrifying flames wrapped around the huge body and burned slowly.

There was no screaming, because the bishop’s consciousness had already died in the blow. Linley smiled and waved at Gloria and the ghost shark: “Good morning, deep-sea hunters.”

"I was just trying to say that this guy's right head is mine." Ghost Shark pouted unhappily, "And you just shot it to pieces?"

“Yeah, don’t worry… none of its kind can escape either!” Linley said as he put the thorn back into his pocket. The psychic blade did not release the curved light it should have, but instead burned with blazing flames.

Before the Ghost Shark could introduce itself, Linley leapt into the air with one step. Wings made of flames stretched out behind him, assisting the Hunter in performing various difficult maneuvers in the air. Meanwhile, the mutated Sword of Dawn was releasing flames as wantonly as Tallulah had before!

025. Anyway, let’s go home first

The seawater that flowed in quickly evaporated under the influence of the high temperature. Linley, flying freely in the air like a phoenix, left an indelible impression on the deep-sea hunter who had just awakened.

"I say... Skadi, are you familiar with him? After all, when I was still in the hospital bed, he came to see me because of you."

Although the current Ghost Shark is the real Ghost Shark, her memory as the crazy nun still exists. It's just that now this deep-sea hunter who is barely awake with the help of external force only feels dizzy.

"Let's quickly retreat while that guy is working. I don't want to stay in this cave any longer... Also... Captain, I feel a little dizzy."

Without hesitation, Goletia helped Ghost Shark up and took Skadi out quickly along the way they came. "We are leaving like this. Is it really okay?"

"What could possibly happen to him?"

Without even looking, Skadi swung her sword and cut a rushing sea heir in half. She looked back at the slowly burning body of the bishop and said, "It looks like that guy's body is an anchor point. If it is not completely burned, it will continue to attract those sea heirs..."

"It would take a while to burn such a huge meat mountain..."

Just as Goletia was thinking about whether to return to the cave to help that person, the killer whale girl glanced at her indifferently: "The biggest help to him is for us to get out as soon as possible. Staying here will only increase his workload."

How could someone who made Ishmara, who sacrificed countless deep-sea hunters to successfully kill him, be trapped in a cave that even they might not be able to trap?

"Skadi, you are much smarter than before." Ghost Shark chuckled and teased Skadi while looking at his captain: "By the way, Captain...will we also become Haisi later..."

"You're so different from those guys just by your mouth." Skadi responded unhappily while looking up at the faint light coming from above, "We're almost at the exit!"

"Your changes... are indeed as Laurentina said... huge." Gloria sighed in a low voice, "Can I ask what you saw at that time?"

"Do you remember the Haisi we hunted during our last group action?"

"Ishar-mla, that extremely special sea heir... is also our final target." Goletia's red eyes carried a faint scrutiny, "Have you seen it?"

“Not just it… I saw it, and experienced the life of that Hai Si…” Skadi said as she walked forward quickly, “Then… I saw Lin Lei.”

“Lin Lei? How did you see him?” Hearing the killer whale girl’s words, Laurentina immediately became interested. Or rather, she loved this kind of gossip the most. “What did he say?”

"He said that as long as Skadi still believes that she is Skadi... then she can ask him for help no matter what the problem is." Skadi raised the greatsword in her hand while speaking - for no other reason than that she could feel that there was someone waiting outside the cave.

When the three deep-sea hunters walked out of the cave, the masked Grand Inquisitor was staring at them with a lantern in one hand and a hand cannon in the other: "Agor people... leave here."

Dario was already extremely restrained in speaking like this, but then the Grand Inquisitor looked at the woman in the red dress again. After all, he was not blind. It was for this little girl that Linley had stopped his own apprentice and himself. So it was normal for him to ask her any questions.

"Where's the hunter... Is he still fighting down there?"

"Yes... there is a sea heir below... in your words, it is the lair of the terrifying fish." Skadi narrowed her eyes. She had to admit that the pressure from this great inquisitor was not comparable to that of the little girl before. "But the leader, the priest as the people in the city call him, is dead."

"The chief culprit has been killed... That guy is quite capable." Dario muttered to himself, then he shook his head to get rid of all these trivial thoughts and whispered: "Then leave here, Agor people... Leave here and don't stay here any longer. Letting you enter the city of Iberia is already a violation of the rules."

"We have to wait for him to come out... and then we will leave." Goletia whispered, holding the Ghost Shark in one hand and sticking the spear into the ground with the other hand - but if she wanted, she could still attack the Grand Inquisitor with an extremely fast maneuver.

"Then wait until sunset... This is also the time limit I gave him."

Contrary to Gloria's expectations, the Inquisitor did not insist on his previous decision but gave them ample time.

Just as the sun was setting and Dario had already taken out the detonator, bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface! At the same time, the temperature of the sea water was rising rapidly, and wisps of white smoke were floating from the dead beach.

Elini, who had led most of the residents to take refuge on the beach, naturally noticed this change. The girl opened her eyes with a scar on them wide and asked, "What's going on?"

But before the little inquisitor could get close, the burning and red sound swept the huge waves out of the sea level! And then a huge roar came from the church in the distance - the mountain exploded!

Elini might not know, but how could Tallulah, who had always stood beside the two of them to ensure their safety, not know that only one person on this continent could create that surging wave of light energy, and the figure that was like a phoenix burning mountains and boiling seas nodded at her and flew to the other side.

"Are we going to meet up there?"

Talulah naturally understood the purpose of Linley’s actions. She immediately walked over to Anita and Elinyi and said, “It looks like we have to say goodbye here, Miss Judge, and Miss Anita…”

Anita was shocked when she heard this: "Are you guys leaving?"

"Yes, but I think we will meet again sooner or later." Draco touched the girl's head and quietly stuffed two bags of dry food into her arms: "Anita...if you have a choice, leave here and go to a place where wheat ears can grow freely..."

Then a pair of flaming wings spread out from Draco’s back, carrying the girl towards where Linley was. Although her man didn’t say anything, she knew one thing very well: they were going home.

026.The legendary flagship

On the outskirts of Iberia, in a deserted wilderness, a man and four women were sitting around a campfire. Compared to the relatively relaxed expressions of Linley and Tallulah, the expressions of the three deep-sea hunters sitting opposite them were much more strange. Of course, Ghost Shark was not among them - not long after leaving Saltwind City, she turned back into the slightly neurotic nun.

I have to say that compared to this nun who seems quiet but talks crazy from time to time, the more aggressive ghost shark is more interesting. Of course, it would be better if she didn't tease herself and Skadi again and again.

Lin Lei rubbed his waist, which had been twisted nearly eighteen times, and sighed. What a sin this was. It was clear that he and Skadi were not having an affair... On the contrary, the man thought as he raised his head and looked at Gloria, who was sitting by the fire with her knees hugged, not saying a word.

The second captain of the deep-sea hunters looked lost in his thoughts. His cold and elegant face did not have the decisive and cold temperament he had when facing Skadi before. Instead, it had a more fragile look like glass.

Talulah was naturally aware of the unclear relationship between Linley and the second captain, but Draco also felt that he had seen a ghost - the night before, you were able to fight to the death and even tied to the cross, how could you have such a relationship the next day?

It can't be that the captain of this deep-sea hunter team is a masochist, right?

But the mental state of this deep-sea hunter is definitely not good now, even worse than Skadi who had been looking for the ghost shark before. In this situation, Tallulah was too embarrassed to make any jokes. The girl then touched her man and nodded in the direction of Gloria.

Linley naturally understood what the Dragon Girl meant, and he immediately spoke:

"Golatia, is there something wrong? You haven't been in a good condition since you left Saltwind City."

"Is it obvious?"

Goletia asked almost subconsciously, and Linley nodded naturally: “You look so absent-minded that if someone didn’t know better, they would think it’s you, not Ghost Shark, who’s sick…”

"Laurentina won't be as quiet as she is now when she has nothing to do." The beauty retorted in a low voice, and the nun smiled harmlessly in response, as if what others said had nothing to do with her.

Gloria could only sigh upon seeing this. She first raised her head to look at the bright moon above her head. At this moment, the silver moon only served to highlight the desolation of Iberia and provided little illumination.

"Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Obviously, there were some things that Goletia, as the Archon of Agor, could not reveal to the hunters under her command. However, this did not seem to be a problem for Lin Lei. After all, this guy not only had some relationship with Kal'tsit, but he could also make those sea heirs feel an instinctive fear, which was not something that ordinary people could do.

What's more, this guy dances very well.

Goletia bit her lip lightly and stood up, making a gesture of invitation. Linley nodded to the remaining three women and said, “Please be careful. We will go to the side and have a chat first.”

......

"Return to God, could it be that you are also controlled by the bloodline summoned by Hai Si?"

Seeing that he and Gloria were the only ones here, Linley naturally stopped hiding and walked up to the hunter. He grabbed the hunter’s hand as he raised it but was about to put it down again. “That thing should be bewitching you in your ear, right?”

“How do you know…” A trace of fear flashed across the beauty’s face, but Linley knew that this expression was definitely not the expression that the decisive and ruthless Second Captain would show. He then whispered in the tone of the honest man Hai Si:

"Gla-dia, I guess I called your name correctly..."

'boom! '

The hunter pressed Gloria against the stone wall as he spoke. His eyes, which flashed with black and red electricity, were filled with an extremely strong murderous aura:

"Ishmaara may not have informed you. I'll say it again... If you dare to continue to pollute her mind, I will catch you and kill you until you dare not do such a thing again."

Then a black and red electric current rushed into Goletia's body from the soles of her feet. With a muffled groan, the deep-sea hunter returned to normal again, and the usual strong aura returned to this lady.

“Does it feel good to have you press me like this?” There was no emotion in Goletia’s voice, and Linley would certainly not continue to press the hunter against the stone wall. Just as he loosened his hands with a faint smile and was about to step back, the hunter stepped forward and blocked his lips.

After a while of kissing, Goletia took the initiative to loosen her arms around the other person and took two steps back like an elegant gentleman: "It feels good."

“If you like taking advantage of me so much, why don’t you do it by the fire?” Lin Lei wiped the corner of his mouth, looking like he was at a disadvantage.

"Looking at the expression on your female companion's face, if I dare to do that, I'm afraid someone will die the next day." Gloria said disdainfully. She was just a bit arrogant, not unable to read people's minds: "Okay, let's talk about what you want to know..."

"for example?"

“For example... do you know the Fool? It was the last flagship and the largest ship in the invincible Iberian fleet that disappeared overnight.” The hunter stared directly at Linley, his red eyes flashing with countless emotions - responsibility, expectation and even desire.

"You go on."

“This ship contains secrets and disasters that could completely annihilate the sea… We must find it and use it to unlock the secret treasure.” Gloria lowered her head slightly, but the height difference between the two meant that even so, Linley could still see the hesitation on the girl’s face.

"Even if doing so will bring disaster... I have the responsibility to protect Agor and everything in it."

“Then do you know where this ship is?” Linley asked quietly after lighting a cigarette, “And is it all worth it?”

"It's worth it... As long as we can strangle those damned giants in the sea, it's worth it." Gloria raised her head suddenly as if she had made up her mind, "But the exact location of the ship... We still don't know it, but if anyone knows..."

"Kelsey, huh?"

Lin Lei gave the answer. The old lynx who had lived for who knows how long could indeed be called a know-it-all. He also had a hunch that if he didn’t come this time, she would most likely come to Saltwind City in person.

"Then come back to Rhodes Island with us. At least we'll have time to make long-term plans."

027. Old cat is still a cat

It was a month later when they returned to the Rhodes Island ship, and this time was enough for the first team that went to Casimir for medical assistance to return to the ship.

However, when Linley and the others boarded the landship, it was already midnight, and the only person who would greet them at this point was Kal'tsit. The head of the medical department was wearing her usual white coat and off-shoulder shirt, and her emerald eyes kept scanning the three deep-sea hunters.

About half a minute later, the old lynx opened its red lips and said, "Golatia, the room has been prepared for you... Skadi, take Ghost Shark back to the ward first. We can talk about what you need tomorrow."

This was considered an order to leave, and before Kyle could say anything to Tallulah, this Draco patted Linley on the shoulder and whispered, "I'm going to find Froststar. You two can chat slowly." Then the girl took off the mask used to hide her identity, hummed a little tune, and walked into the elevator.

Now, there were only Kal'tsit and Lin Lei left in the garage. Seeing that there was no outsider around, Kal'tsit did not continue with her official expression but walked straight up to the man and skillfully put her hand into his pocket and rubbed it.

It was not until the old lynx touched something hard—I mean, a cigarette case—that he took it out contentedly, and his snow-white hands pinched two cigarettes inconspicuously: "Let's go... to my office."

“Then do you really need to take cigarettes from me? I don’t believe you don’t have any in your desk.” Linley sighed, while Kal’tsit stared at him expressionlessly. After the two of them got into the elevator, she spoke quietly:

"I have finished my cigarette..."

"So fast?" Lin was shocked. He remembered that before he left, the medical director had about five packs of cigarettes in his drawer. Did he finish them so quickly? Even for a heavy smoker, that was a bit fast.

"I've just been a little upset lately."

Kal’tsit glanced at Linley inconspicuously and then slowly opened the door to her office. “As for you, you should have figured out what you saw in Iberia and what those deep-sea hunters want to do, right?”

“Probably.” Linley stroked his chin and answered ambiguously. Although there was an extremely large ventilation fan in the entire office, he could still faintly smell the faint smell of smoke.

'Click~'

The old lynx locked the door and lit up the cigarette in his hand very skillfully and started to puff out smoke. His flawless face was hidden in the smoke. "You talk first, and if you have any questions, you can ask directly... If I know, I won't hide it."

Does this mean that she knows everything? It is really rare for her. It seems that the things in Iberia and the sea are quite important to her.

Linley looked at the other person deeply, then recounted everything he and Tallulah had seen and heard in Iberia, from finding the intelligence dealer named Jose to meeting Gloria and Hai Si who could speak Terran.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the gorgeous scene or the dance under the moon, and Kal'tsit naturally didn't ask either. It's just that both Skadi and Gloria looked at this man with a strange look in their eyes.

But it doesn’t matter, some people have just reached the starting line, some are already in the middle of the road, and she reached the finish line two years ago!

"Hai Si, the talking one... This problem looks like it's going to get bigger." Kal'tsit twisted her cigarette butt and sat down on her office chair. "During the first Great Silence, the entire Iberia became what it is today."

"you've been to?"

"I've been there. At that time, the entire Iberian fleet was connected. If it weren't for the Great Silence... neither Victoria nor Ursus would be a match for this coastal country."

“But if it wasn’t, the Great Silence would have still happened, and the powerful seaside nation you mentioned has now become a barren land that can’t even feed its people.” Linley whispered, “And what on earth are those Sea Heirs?”

“You can think of them as things left over from the previous generation, and their speed of evolution is far beyond the imagination of most people.” Kal’tsit closed her eyes. “And these beings must be dealt with, otherwise when the Second Great Silence comes, the entire Terra continent will fall into eternal silence.”

“It sounds really dangerous. Why don’t those guys from the Inquisition ask for help?” Linley asked in a low voice. “I have had a conversation with the Grand Inquisitor before. In their opinion, the glory of the city has faded, and Iberia is now only a ruin.”

"That kind of pessimistic attitude is a bit unbearable..."

As the man spoke, he slid his chair to Kal'tsit's side. The old lynx didn't say anything but directly crossed her legs in black stockings on the other's thighs. At the same time, she lit up a second cigarette, and her posture was just like some gangster boss in some old movies:
