I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 297 - 200: Flower Thunder Reef Fall, Grossye

[From now on, call me Grossye.]

Rogel said calmly.

The Yudona in front of him, who just a moment ago seemed fearful and trembling, suddenly turned eerily calm.

And even spoke Yudona language with an accent indistinguishable from a human's...

Witnessing this, Pailondo felt a chill in his heart.

This person... is practically a devil!

[Al... alright, Gross...ye Master.]

Pailondo said with some difficulty.

[Just call me Grossye.]

Rogel frowned slightly.

[Now, I am your companion, remember that, do you hear me?]

After saying this, Rogel took out a Stone Fish Lung, blew a bubble, and slipped into it.

Then, he used a Yudona shell to tie the bubble with a rope and held it in his hand.

Their destination was the Salt Reef Plundering Group, but since they were passing by Flower Thunder Reef Fall, they decided to see what supplies they could gather there before proceeding.

After all, it's not like the Five Great Seas; the Yudona Sea alone is much larger than the Five Great Seas combined.

It's very necessary to replenish supplies, but a Yudona shell can't carry so many things, so he needed to find a way to bring his main body along.

Therefore, he specifically had Pailondo act as his guide and controlled a Yudona shell as his disguise.

Then he disguised his main body as being restrained, allowing him to enter Flower Thunder Reef Fall without hindrance.

The original Starry Parasite shell was discarded as it was useless now and better replaced by a Yudona.

As for the Gelin, it anchored on a safe nearby island, awaiting the outcome.

[Okay, Grossye...]

Even though Rogel neither scolded nor threatened him, Pailondo dared not act rashly in front of him.

Those who get angry before killing are not scary; those like Rogel, who remain calm yet might draw a knife at any moment, are terrifying.

Before leaving the Gelin, Pailondo was forced to swallow a pill.

Rogel told him it was poison and that he could kill him at any time.

Pailondo certainly believed him, and could only obey Rogel's every command.

In reality, though...

Rogel had no such poison pill.

He just casually gave Pailondo a date pill, leftover from Iya.

But Pailondo didn't know that.

He didn't dare gamble with his life.

After all, this human not only had powerful Extraordinary Abilities but could also control a terrifying Sea Beast, and no one knew how many other tricks he had.

[Rogel... Grossye, we've arrived...]

About to enter Flower Thunder Reef Fall, Pailondo spoke to Rogel nervously with his head bowed.

Seeing this, Rogel frowned.

Why is this guy so afraid of me?

Am I that scary?

... This won't do, if I'm exposed, it'll be troublesome.

After pondering for a moment, Rogel reached out and patted Pailondo's shoulder.

[... Pailondo, no need to be so nervous.]

[I actually think highly of you.]

[You're a smart Yudona, follow me diligently, and who knows, a bright future could be ahead of you.]

Rogel echoed the words of a boss he once had with sincere weight.

Hearing his name called by Rogel, Pailondo was already pleasantly surprised.

After all, Rogel had many captives, and only his name was known.

Hearing Rogel say, "I think highly of you," made Pailondo's eyes gleam even more.

After listening to his final words, Pailondo was beyond thrilled.

He values me!

He values me!

He said I have potential!

In a Fantasy World, where has Pailondo ever experienced such grandiose promises? He instantly became excited.

Seeing this, Rogel quickly struck while the iron was hot.

[If you're an ambitious person, you should strive to do every task well, that's the only way to succeed.]

[But now, I've given you the identity of my companion, yet you act so awkwardly; if others see, you'll be exposed, and that's no good.]

Pailondo, after being psychologically manipulated, suddenly felt ashamed.

Yes, Master Rogel holds me in such high regard, yet I perform so poorly...

At this point, Rogel continued to deceive.

[If not for your intellect, I wouldn't bother nurturing you.]

[Of course, if I'm mistaken about you, it would only reflect poorly on my judgment.]

With that, Rogel shook his head and sighed.

By now, Pailondo was fully awakened!

Yes, why be a lousy Captain Yudona? Always wandering outside, high risk, low reward, constantly facing scorn, with no social status.

Now, here's a rare opportunity with a powerful figure, if not now, when should I strive?

Why be a hammer Yudona, I won't be one!

I want to be Rogel's loyal follower!

Thinking of this, Pailondo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.

[Grossye, I understand!]

Seeing this, Rogel nodded in satisfaction.

Good, very good, this is more like it.

[Let's go, lead the way.]

Rogel said.

[Alright, Grossye.]

Pailondo nodded, looking serious.

...

Flower Thunder Reef Fall.

Passing Yudonas looked at Rogel, and at Rogel's main body behind Pailondo, gasping and discussing amongst themselves.

"Wow! They actually caught a human and brought him back!"

"Impressive, this human will surely fetch a lot of Golden Shells!"

Rogel paid no attention to these discussions, instead focusing on a high reef tower ahead, rubbing his chin.

At this time, he intentionally used True Perspective to better observe these alien race scenes.

The reef tower was exceptionally tall, nearly reaching the sea surface, with many holes in it where big fish came and went.

"Grossye, that's the habitat tower, where traveling big fish dock."

After explaining, Pailondo added in a low voice.

"It's likely equivalent to what you know as a 'port'."

Rogel, upon hearing this, gave him a surprised glance.

"You know quite a bit."

Hearing this, Pailondo smiled wryly.

"I'm in the treasure hunting business, often need to run around, and love hanging out in taverns, so I hear more."

"If you asked me more advanced knowledge, I surely wouldn't know, but regarding such trivia, I know a bit..."

Rogel nodded.

Then proceeded on their way.

Pailondo was now in the zone, seeing Rogel didn't wish to talk, he tactfully remained silent, continuing their journey.

They quickly arrived at the center of Flower Thunder Reef Fall.

Hmm, how should I put it, Rogel had a very unique feeling about this place.

Judging by usual thought, shouldn't these Yudonas be walking and shopping in shallow seas?

But that wasn't the case.

Yudona is a sea civilization, a race formed by marine life.

The way they swim in the sea is their equivalent of walking.

So how could they possibly walk along the sea bottom? That would be too abnormal.

Consequently, the buildings in Flower Thunder Reef Fall have very disparate heights, and the Yudonas move through them.

In human towns, you might use front, back, left, and right to discern directions.

But in Flower Thunder Reef Fall, you also need to add the y-axis, that is, up and down.

"Damn you, jerk up there, don't randomly squirt ink! It's disgusting!"

"Oy, not your business, mind your own, come up and hit me if you dare!"

"..."

Pailondo showed an awkward yet polite smile: "The Yudonas of Flower Thunder Reef Fall are quite a mixed bunch..."

"Is this what you usually eat?"

Rogel asked, looking at something in his hand that resembled green-skinned peanuts.

"Yes, it's called Seaweed Beans, a main crop of the Yudonarod Empire."

Pailondo replied.

Rogel nodded, putting it into his pocket.

After that, his gaze fell on a large seaweed advertisement hanging from a reef, somewhat surprised.

[Treasure Hunting Grocery Store?]

[Selling Treasure Maps, Pointers, Navigation Guides, Comprehensive Topography...]

The content on the notice board piqued Rogel's curiosity.

Have to go in and take a look.
