I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 105: The Young Poet
The weather in the Giant Claw Sea Area seems darker compared to the Harmony Sea Area.
There are more cloudy days, and the sunlight is always obscured.
"It seems that the curse on Mira is a special curse..."
After returning to his room, Rogel sighed and reverted to before the Mermaid’s Tear was consumed.
He had also compared the Ice Crystal Hand Pillar with the Skeleton Spirit Staff.
The effect of the Ice Crystal Hand Pillar is indeed stronger than the Skeleton Spirit Staff.
But the Skeleton Stripping Technique cast with the Skeleton Spirit Staff, boosted by the Skeleton Secret Technique, isn’t much weaker than the Ice Crystal Hand Pillar.
Moreover, in Rogel’s view, the negative effects of the Ice Crystal Hand Pillar are more severe.
The Skeleton Spirit Staff only temporarily reduces a small amount of life value cap.
Whereas the self-slowing effect of the Ice Crystal Hand Pillar affects speed during combat.
And most importantly, Rogel currently needs the magic staff for casting, and all the spells are Skeleton Secret Techniques.
So, for now, the Skeleton Spirit Staff is still the most suitable staff for Rogel.
"Phew..."
After exhaling, Rogel controlled himself to look at the navigation map in the room.
It seems that the first island within the Giant Claw Sea Area is not far away.
Then the Land Cave will have to wait until there’s more time to tackle it.
...
[Meow~]
Big Orange, without sunlight, felt a bit annoyed, and could only wander around the ship, trying to find a more comfortable place to sleep.
As for why it wasn’t sleeping in its own little nest...
[Oh, Sea God, look at this miraculous creation, this masterpiece of nature, I am sure the Creator must be a top-notch sculptor, otherwise there’s no way to create such intricate and magical creatures...]
[Oh my, oh my, Little Elf, hahaha, I never thought I’d see a creature that exists only in novels and poetry, it’s truly wonderful, I must record it, write it in my travelogue...]
Kadi in the planting area kept rambling on, his eyes lighting up at Iya’s little house, his pen never stopping.
[Thousand Islands Calendar Year 523, May 12th, the noble-souled poet has happily stayed on the magical Gelin, and today his task is to water the crops, which is indeed a skillful task...]
[You absolutely wouldn’t believe what I saw on the flowers in the planting area — a little elf! She’s so beautiful, so exquisite...]
[...]
[Eeya eeya!]
The lazy little elf, who was sleeping on the flower, was awakened by Kadi’s endless chatter.
Yesterday, she had secretly seen this new big guy, and since the bad people seemed to approve of him staying on the ship, Iya was not alarmed.
But... this big guy is really noisy!
So noisy that it bothers the elf!
[Eeya eeya!]
Don’t disturb my sleep! Go away!
Iya stood on the flower, stomping her feet in anger, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at him.
Seeing this, Kadi paused.
Then his eyes burst with even brighter light.
[Oh heavens, she’s simply too cute, I guarantee, if anyone else saw this scene, they’d be overwhelmed by the cuteness...]
If Kadi was just writing, that would be fine.
But he had a habit of talking to himself while writing.
This made Iya’s little face flush with anger.
[Eeeya!]
The little elf clenched her tiny fists, furiously flying to the roof of her little wooden house, then shut the little door with a slap.
Seeing this, Kadi sighed in admiration and began to write even more enthusiastically.
[Intern Kadi, what are you doing?]
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Seeing this, Kadi turned around, quickly giving a flattering smile.
[Oh, it’s you, Captain Rogel, uh, I...]
[...I’m writing a travelogue...]
[But rest assured, I will fulfill my duties, I promise you!]
Kadi scratched his head, didn’t lie, and quickly promised.
Seeing this, Rogel chuckled lightly.
He had already seen everything that had just happened clearly.
In theory, Kadi, now an intern on the Gelin, shouldn’t be slacking off during work.
But Rogel didn’t mind that.
The inquiry was just to test the character of this young poet.
If his first instinct was to lie to hide his slacking behavior...
Then unequivocally, Rogel wouldn’t let him become a crew member of the Gelin.
Now it seems, this young poet is indeed simple, yet slightly clumsy.
Too much like a naive college student just stepping into society.
Consider yourself temporarily passing, lad.
However, Iya seems pretty annoyed with this kid...
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.
He cleared his throat.
[Writing travelogues is no problem, but you need to be cautious not to affect others.]
Rogel pointed to the small cabin and gave Kadi a deliberately quirky smile.
[But it seems now, I’m a bit late to mention that.]
[I must warn you, you disturbed her sleep, and this kind of elf is really petty and holds a grudge. She might plant a curse on you while you sleep...]
Plop!
A light noise was heard as Kadi’s pen dropped onto the ground.
He thought of those evil elves described by novelists.
Evil elves are completely different from regular elves; they are terrifying and don’t bring blessings or healing, only illness and curses, forcing people into pain and suffering.
He shivered slightly as he picked up the pen, his face pale, swallowing hard.
[You, do you mean...]
[But Captain Rogel, she looks like a lovely little elf, doesn’t she... shouldn’t... shouldn’t...]
Haha, I scared the wits out of this silly boy! Hahaha!
Rogel grinned widely in front of the screen.
But on the surface, he remained calm.
[Well, for tonight, you should sleep with one eye open, after all, you’re the only intern on our ship...]
[I won’t say more, those who understand will understand.]
Rogel shook his head, giving him a glance with a touch of pity.
Kadi was so frightened his lips quivered.
He thought, perhaps it really does make sense!
This Captain Rogel can turn into black mist and summon the undead!
His little elf can’t possibly be a regular elf!
Even if Captain Rogel is a good person, can his little elf still be a good elf?
And even if this elf doesn’t dare to finish him off because of Captain Rogel, it’s not impossible for her to give him a disease or curse to make him suffer!
With several bizarre images from novels flashing through his mind, Kadi felt a chill down his spine.
Previously adorable Iya pointing at him now seemed to be casting a curse instead...
No, I must find Captain Rogel for help!
He surely has a way!
Perhaps I can earn the elf’s forgiveness!
Thinking of this, Kadi hurried to Rogel’s side, pleading earnestly.
[Captain Rogel, kind-hearted Captain Rogel, great Captain Rogel, I’m very sorry for unintentionally offending your pet...]
[I promise this will never happen again, surely it won’t, please be kind enough to tell me how to earn your pet’s forgiveness...]
[I don’t want to be cursed or afflicted with disease, I’m still young, I can do lots of work for you...]
Hahahahaha!
Rogel laughed until his stomach hurt, slapping his thigh in delight.
This foolish boy is just too easy to scare.
After laughing for a while, Rogel smacked his lips thoughtfully.
Seeing Kadi’s pitiful look, Rogel didn’t want to scare him more.
Yet...
This will never happen again?
How can that be?
Iya this silly little elf lives with me using my things, eating my food, wearing my wife’s clothes, and still slacks off daily, she must be taught a lesson!
Thinking of this, Rogel considered seriously in front of Kadi’s hopeful eyes.
[Here’s what we’ll do, come over here, I’ll tell you what to do.]
Hearing this, the naive young poet’s eyes lit up with gratitude as he moved closer.
Shortly, under the guidance of the scheming captain, the young poet found a way forward.
After listening, he hesitated slightly.
It seemed this method was somewhat unreliable.
[Captain Rogel, this... can this really work?]
Rogel handed him a reassuring look upon hearing the question.
[Kadi, you have to know, this kind of elf is not like the ordinary elves you know.]
[So just follow what I said.]
Saying this, Rogel patted his shoulder.
The young poet had already been thoroughly hoodwinked by the mischievous captain and found it quite reasonable.
Thus, he looked at Rogel with immense gratitude.
[Thank you so much, Captain Rogel, you’re truly a warm-hearted good man!]
The young poet was moved to tears.
