Although curious about why others were laughing, Spirituality of Angel did not give any warning. More importantly, this was the wine poured by Klein.
After sitting down, she gently picked up the wine glass, took a sip to test the taste, and her eyes lit up.
This cup of Sonia Blood Wine not only looks like a mixture of gold and blood, it also tastes like a faint smell of blood, but it is immediately replaced by the sweetness that follows, like a cup of honey mixed with alcohol, with a sticky texture and endless aftertaste.
When he came back to his senses, a whole glass of blood wine had been consumed, leaving only a faint red patch against the wall of the glass.
The same color appeared on Angel's face. She put down her wine glass shyly, glanced around, saw a glass of Sweet Iced Tea placed in front of Klein, and asked curiously:
"Won't you have a drink?"
"Uncle Sparrow said that Adventurer will not be addicted to alcohol."
Danton on the side interjected, there was also a glass of Sweet Iced Tea in front of him, but this little Gentlemen looked at the exquisite-looking bottle of Sonia Blood Wine from time to time, seeming to regret that he could not taste the wine.
"Only when you return to a safe home will Adventurer drink happily."
Krivis added, sticking to his code with a glass of lemonade in front of him.
As the chef helped divide the fish, the brief conversation about alcohol quickly ended, and several people started talking about the fishman just now.
"If you face the enemy head-on, this kind of monster is really difficult to kill. They have rough skin and thick flesh, are not afraid of pain, and can escape into the sea at any time." Krivis sighed as he chewed the golden rib meat that had been fried with scales removed. Before Church of Storms and the navy clear this channel of murlocs, it is very dangerous to enter the deep sea. When they swarm in groups, they will directly drill through the bottom of the ship, sink the ship, drag the crew into the deep sea, disembowel them, and eat only the internal organs. "
"Haha, even now, if you accidentally deviate from the waterway, you will encounter many murlocs or other monsters in the depths of the mist, such as a giant octopus with tentacles that can break the mast, a terrifying sea monster that knocks a warship out of a big hole, a mermaid that lures Sailor into the sea with its singing... Of course, the above are all things I have heard about and have never actually seen. Otherwise, I might have been buried in the belly of a fish and would have no chance to enjoy the food here."
Aierlan used a knife and fork to break down the fish ribs in front of him, picked out the fat part and put it into his mouth, and said with a smile.
Donna glanced at the beautiful sister beside him involuntarily and asked the well-informed captain:
"Siren, I mean the mermaid, will it run to the shore, or inside Passenger Ship?"
"Someone Sailor once said that mermaids who fall in love with young handsome guys will secretly climb ashore at night, transform into human forms, and use their beauty to lure them to spend the night together. But I think this is just a rumor spread by Bayam's 'Red Theater' to trick Sailor into spending money there."
"Red Theater?"
Danton, holding Sweet Iced Tea, asked curiously.
Angel had read in a book that this was the most famous brothel in Bayam, the capital of the Rhoside Islands. Apparently other adults knew this too. They looked at each other in tacit understanding and prepared to change the subject.
"I've seen mermaids, real mermaids."
Krivis suddenly said, he had put down his knife and fork at some point and stared at the fish ribs on the plate on the table, as if it was a piece of mermaid meat.
"That was when I was still working as Adventurer, and I took a Three-Masted Sailing Ship with a few friends who had the same ambitions as me to go to the Sonia Sea in search of the legendary secret treasure, and then I met them next to a reef."
Several people around the table stopped eating and drinking and listened quietly.
"They were extremely beautiful, but their bodies were covered with scales, and their lower bodies were fish-tail-shaped. They had sharp teeth and liked carnivorous food. Many Sailor were lured by the songs and jumped directly into the sea, becoming a meal for those monsters. I escaped because I had read various legends well and tied myself to the mast, but I lost two teammates that night, and the expedition unfortunately failed halfway.
"After that, I had the idea of washing my hands and going ashore, then I met Cecil and the others, and started working as a bodyguard. Although the income was not as good as before, it was at least stable, and I wouldn't change teammates every now and then."
The sadness on his face made Angel feel that the fish in her mouth was no longer so delicious. She picked up the wine glass that had been refilled at some point and took a sip of blood wine. She suddenly remembered the vigilant eyes and distant attitude of her ex-Adventurer when she met her during the day.
He doesn't really think of me as Siren, right? I'm really just lying to a child, but he has seen a real mermaid, and he should just be a little resistant to young women... Angel looked at Donna beside him speechlessly, and found that the girl was looking at him with bright eyes.
I'm afraid this misunderstanding cannot be clarified in the short term...
"But you can rest assured on White Agate. The waterway here is the safest in the entire sea. As long as you don't go south of Bayam and go deep into the Berserk Sea, you will have no chance of encountering swarms of fishmen or other stronger monsters."
Captain Erlan To appease everyone's worries, he stretched out his hand to summon the chef next to the grill, signaling the other party to quickly bring over the delicious grilled fish.
The fish, grilled until golden brown with rich sauce flowing on the surface, was served on a porcelain plate with basil leaves scattered around it. It exuded the complex but appetizing aroma of lemon, sweet and sour and spices, instantly clearing the dull atmosphere around the table.
"Let us thank the sea for its gift, Storm is with us!"
The captain took the lead in raising his glass and gave a toast. Others raised their glasses, either with blood wine or Sweet Iced Tea, in agreement with him.
But I still hope there won't be Storm, because I can't swim... Angel thought to himself, raised the filled wine glass and touched it with Klein next to him, and drank the beautiful and delicious blood wine in one gulp.
With a breath of alcohol, Angel picked up a fork and forked a piece of fish that was assigned to his plate by the chef and put it into his mouth, enjoying the delicious grilled fish soaked in sauce and with clear texture, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Mr. Captain, can you tell me about the famous pirates in this area and the legendary secret treasures?"
After quickly destroying the fish in front of him, Klein asked while helping Angel continue to add wine.
"Oh, everyone who comes to the sea is interested in these, but let me tell you, reaching the destination safely without encountering anyone is the dream of an experienced adventurer."
Even so, Aierlan was quickly defeated by the expectant eyes of siblings Donna and Danton.
"Okay, let me tell you briefly, you should know the legend of the seven Pirate Admiral, right?" He looked around the table and saw everyone nodded before continuing, "Now this list has been updated. The former 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingus went to Backlund alone for some unknown reason and died there. His fleet was taken over by a woman who called herself 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' and became one of the new Seven Generals."
"And above them, there are 'Four Kings', Queen Mystic, King of Immortality, and the most powerful 'King of the Five Seas' Nast.
"This Four Kings has a high bounty in various countries. Even the King of Immortality Agalito with the lowest value, and the Loen have a bounty of more than 100,000 pounds, but no one has ever dared to think about this money. The hot-headed guys have already sunk to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
When he heard that the fish were being fed, Danton stopped chewing the fish meat. He asked with half longing and half fear:
"Why is Agalito called King of Immortality? Won't he die of old age?"
"This is about the Six Legends at sea. One of them is called 'Fountain of Youth'. In the depths of the Sonia Sea, it is said that this 'King of Immortality' drank the spring water there. Therefore, the legend of Pirate King seems to never be silenced, just like another 'King of the Five Seas' Nast, living in the nightmare of generations of Sailor."
Immortal, living forever... Although it sounds a bit false, I have indeed seen a "Undying", Mr. Azik who was chased by repeated death and rebirth...
Angel recalled the bronze-skinned teacher and thought about his relationship with these "immortal pirates".
"What about other legends?"
Klein was also interested. After taking a sip of Sweet Iced Tea, he continued to ask.
"The first one on the list of Six Legends is 'Key of Death'. It is said that it can open Treasure left by Death in the Berserk Sea. Oh, Berserk Sea originated from the storm caused when Fourth Epoch was killed by the Seven Gods and Death fell. This is also the origin of the legend; then there is 'Legacy of the Solomon Empire', also Fourth Epoch, when Solomon Empire was destroyed, the royal family took all the treasures and left in a boat, entering Fog Sea, and never appeared again. It is said that King of the Five Seas Nast inherited part of the inheritance from 'Black Emperor'."
Hearing this word, Angel, who was drinking blood wine, glanced at Klein, who had been pretending to be "Rogue Black Emperor", and found that the latter was also looking over, holding a wine bottle in his hand, so he smiled and handed the wine glass to him to fill it up again.
"Next, the most mysterious one is the 'Ghost Empire'. It is a ship larger than a city built by the last empire of Fourth Epoch, Trunsoest. After it disappeared from the port, many ships heading to the Sonia Sea claimed to have seen this giant ship, but no one has boarded it so far. Inheritance The same goes for the Ghost Empire's treasure; 'Lost Newins', Adventurer and Seafarer of the Fog Sea often find some strange items, which all point to this ancient civilization, but like Ghost Empire, no one has real evidence."
Aierlan drank all the wine in the glass and tried to pour another glass, but found that the bottle was empty. He shook his head with a smile and continued:
"One of the remaining Six Legendss, and the one I yearn for the most, is 'Sunken Laurel', because it is the closest to us, not in terms of location, but in terms of age. Only a hundred years ago, this deviated ship was loaded with East Balam's gold jewelry and sank into the Berserk Sea. No one has found it yet. It is said that the treasure on it is worth millions of pounds."
"Millions of pounds..."
Klein sat upright, as did everyone else. Even though they all knew that the legend was just a legend, and the probability of being encountered was pitifully small, it did not hinder their yearning for huge wealth.
Fortunately, legends are hard to find, and fish and meat are easy to come by. Everyone quickly shared Five Seas's gifts while talking and laughing, touching their bulging bellies and sighing with contentment. The female bodyguard Cecil imagined her retirement life after finding Laurel, but she was kindly laughed at by Captain Erlan because of her lack of imagination.
Angel also felt a little bloated. She unknowingly drank more than five cups of Sonia Blood Wine and enjoyed a whole plate of fish. Seeing that everyone was already looking for new topics, she excused herself in a low voice and stood up from her seat. However, she felt dizzy and swayed a little unsteadily.
"Careful!"
Klein on the side supported her with quick eyes and hands.
"Mr. Sparrow, please help this Miss to rest first." Seeing this, Aierlan held up the empty cup and shook it towards Klein, "I wish you all a good night."
Klein suddenly felt a little hot on his face. He looked at Angel who was being supported by him. The latter's cheeks were red and his eyes were blurred. He seemed to have lost his ability to resist under the influence of alcohol.
His heart was pounding.
