I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 122 - 116: Old Medicine Ding
A pirate frantically swam towards the Gelin ship.
Among the dozen or so pirates fleeing for their lives, he was the fastest swimmer.
His face was filled with fear, and he kept glancing back.
He saw one companion after another being silently dragged underwater by that mysterious monster, blood blossoming and staining the sea.
This made him swim even more desperately towards the Gelin ship.
At this point, the pirates were already reduced to a mere few.
The leading pirate shouted fearfully upwards.
"Get us up!" "There’s a sea monster in the water!" "Save us, we beg you!"
Their voices were filled with extreme fear and supplication, lacking their previous arrogance.
At this moment on the Gelin ship, Kadi and Yas had come to the deck from the cannon room.
Looking at the pirate ship, now sunk with only broken masts and deck fragments remaining in the distance, they were also deeply shocked.
"What kind of creature is that, to be able to easily destroy a pirate ship?"
Lina said incredulously, as they hadn’t clearly seen the scene where Deep Sea Blood Touch killed Mo Yi, and they were also worried.
Rogel hadn’t told them about the Deep Sea Blood Touch.
"What should we do, should we leave here? This monster might target us next!"
Looking at the miserable state of the pirates, Kadi said with some fear.
Lina sighed at this moment, shook her head and said, "It’s too late, it’s already beneath our ship."
"Ah! Glug glug glug..."
Before Lina even finished speaking, a pirate next to the Gelin ship was suddenly dragged underwater, making gurgling sounds.
Moments later, blood blossomed.
This terrifying scene made the remaining pirates feel even more desperate.
One pirate cursed at Lina and the others while moving away from the area.
"You little brats, seeing us die without helping is really fucking cruel, if I can’t live, neither should you!"
"That monster is definitely going to tear your ship to pieces too!"
Hearing this, Lina came to the railing and fired a shot.
With a bang, smoke rose, and the pirate’s head was a bloody mess, as he slowly sank towards the deep sea with an incredulous look.
The decision to not save someone also depends on who it is, a beastly pirate still dares to bark, utterly unaware of his own status.
After putting away the gun, Lina exhaled.
"Alright, now we just need to do one thing."
"What is it?" Kadi asked, his eyes lighting up with hopeful anticipation.
"Pray that the creature in the sea doesn’t attack us."
Lina said calmly.
She knew very well that in the face of such a terrifying marine monster, raising the sails to leave was utterly futile for the Gelin ship.
...
In the sea.
After dragging the last pirate underwater and killing him, Rogel glanced at the Gelin ship quietly anchored in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, for some reason, these pirates hadn’t fired at the Gelin ship.
If they had, Rogel might need to reload the save.
He’s not sure if Lina and the others on the ship would be scared.
After all, this is the first time that his clone appeared in front of them.
While thinking, Rogel controlled the Deep Sea Blood Touch to continue sinking downwards.
He let the Deep Sea Blood Touch continue to stay near the Gelin ship to stand guard, then shifted his perspective back to himself.
"Trying to ambush me while I’m away, without considering your own strength."
Rogel sneered at this group of overly bold pirates.
Then he again focused on the plants and herbs in front of him.
"Continue tasting!"
Rogel continued his Shennong journey.
He ate several fruits in a row, all having beneficial effects, and the effects were quite good.
It even got a bit excessive, causing him a nosebleed.
Just as Rogel was about to continue, he suddenly paused.
Because, behind him suddenly appeared a creature with a white beard, leaning on a cane, furry and round.
It was hovering in the air, speaking a series of gibberish to Rogel.
Rogel listened, looking confused.
He opened the information panel to take a look.
[Old Medicine Ding]
[Type: Creature]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 12]
[Explanation: A special old Yao Ding, bearing unique responsibilities.]
Old Medicine Ding saw Rogel couldn’t understand its words, its white eyebrows furrowed, then tried to use the common language of the sea, albeit sounding very strange.
"Who... amaze?"
"Bait sharp, kidney haze?"
After a moment of silence, Rogel took out the Memory Fish Scale, placing it at his brow.
[You used the Memory Fish Scale, temporarily gaining Skill—Voice of the Mind lv3, time remaining 30 minutes.]
[Memory Fish Scale remaining usage: 2/3.]
This usage is definitely worth spending, of course, provided the Old Medicine Ding does indeed know what he needs.
Otherwise, he’d just reload after asking.
"Hello, my name is Rogel, I’m an adventurer."
With the Voice of the Mind, Rogel’s voice resonated in Old Medicine Ding’s mind.
It startled Old Medicine Ding, its white beard jumped a little.
"Is this... Voice of the Mind? Are you a mermaid?"
"..."
No, I’m a handsome fish.
Rogel flashed an awkward but polite smile.
"Cough, sorry." Old Medicine Ding realized its question was somewhat stupid: "I’m the guardian of this place, you can call me Old Medicine Ding or Elder Yao Ding, you people don’t like pronouncing our names anyway."
Don’t like pronouncing?
Why?
"Why don’t you like pronouncing it? What’s your name?"
Rogel was curious.
"You humans wouldn’t like our Yao Ding names."
Old Medicine Ding shook its head.
You humans?
Have others been here and communicated with Old Medicine Ding?
This made Rogel even more curious.
"A name is just a label, whether it’s pleasant doesn’t matter, so what’s your name?"
Rogel continued to ask.
"...Crisp Green Vitality Radiant and Dynamic Pharmaceutical Rascal."
Old Medicine Ding said expressionlessly.
Translated from Yao Ding’s language into human words, this was its name.
"..."
Rogel scratched his face nonchalantly, discreetly changed the subject.
"By the way, Old Medicine Ding, I learned about this place from a travelogue. Do you create potions or magic potions?"
Old Medicine Ding gave him a silent look, then looked away.
You don’t even want to call me "Crisp Green Vitality Radiant and Dynamic Pharmaceutical Rascal," really disappointing.
"Magic potions and potions?"
"...Your purpose for coming here is exactly the same as his, you two would definitely get along well."
"But you humans seem to die, not sure if he’s still around."
Old Medicine Ding landed on the grass in front of Rogel, speaking with a bit of nostalgia.
Its words made Rogel’s eyes light up.
So, he really came to the right place?
Do they have a way to learn magic potion or pharmacy here?
