Chapter 19 The Flying Dutchman

"What should I call you?" Roger suddenly spoke, but his tone was strange, obviously in another language.

"You can speak our language?" The mermaids spoke, their voices were as gentle as the legendary. Even if they did not sing, their voices were wonderful enough.

"That's not difficult." Roger smiled.

"Shiennaz."

"To be honest, you are much smoother than your companions. I've had enough of his crappy pronunciation." The mermaid complained.

In the following exchange, Roger also figured out what happened, as Geralt said, all of this was a conspiracy.

In the agreement many years ago, this sea belonged to the mermaid, and if Duke Aegroval wanted to expand his industry, the mermaid was an obstacle he had to bypass.

So he needed a reason to speak to the king to launch a war. For countless years, humans have driven the elves from the city to the depths of the forest and become the master of this world himself.

It can be said that apart from the ocean, there are few areas in the world that humans have not entered, but this will not make people feel satisfied, but will instead breed greater desires.

But in fact, the ocean is different from the land, and there are too many places that have not been known about. Even during the time when the elves ruled, they rarely got involved.

If the war really began, it would be a massacre.

"I finally explained it clearly." Geralt breathed a sigh of relief. The communications of the past two days made him frustrated. The mermaid's language was extremely complicated, and he was not proficient in mastering it. In addition, he was injured and his attention would inevitably be a little less focused.

"This is just a misunderstanding. Let's leave. We will talk to the Duke in person."

"Despicable guy, you can't just forget about this. I want to teach him a lesson!"

The mermaid looked angry, "I will go with you to meet the so-called duke and then make him pay the price for it!"

"Okay." Roger nodded, and then helped Geralt, who was naked, to the boat.

"So we'll set out now?"

"Wait a minute, you can change to a slightly larger ship." The mermaid waved her hand, her chest undulated, Dandelion stared at her eyes and said nothing, and after a moment he opened his mouth wide.

Crazy.

The water surface broke open, and the mermaid swam under the water, and then a wooden boat soaked in the moisture of the sea broke out.

Although it is not a luxury ship, it is at least much stronger than the small boats that Roger and others drove.

The water on the deck was drained and the wooden boat was parked steadily on the sea. Roger whistled and said a joke that no one else could understand.

"Flying Dutch..."

Everyone got on the boat again without sending people to paddle. There was a mermaid under the water, and the sea breeze blew towards him, and the steep Dragon Tooth Reef became the same as the ordinary sea surface.

The speed of going back was much faster than when I came. Just after noon, everyone's wooden boat left Longchi Reef and returned to the nearby waters.

This time, not long before moving forward, several large ships were coming towards them in sight. Roger frowned, and Dandri screamed strangely.

He saw the clan emblem belonging to the Duke's family on the flag of the ship opposite.

"How could he be here?"

"I've been waiting for us to go back?"

Geralt was already dressed and put on his weapon again. He let out a low ridicule in his throat, "It seems that this Duke is more thoughtful than we thought. He must find us personally before he can give up!"

"Is he going to kill us?" Ashe looked nervous, and obviously did not include similar situations in the adventure of the female poet.

"Don't worry." Roger comforted everyone.

Both sides were very fast, and the distance was gradually narrowed until they could see each other clearly.

Sure enough, the one standing at the front of the deck was Duke Egroval.

"Witch Hunter, how did your mission be completed?"

The Duke's eyes were sharp, and then his gaze moved away from Geralt and fell on Roger.

"There are many people to testify that you have taken my dear Zelist, so can you tell me where he is now?"

"There is no so-called monster, all of this is your trap!" Geralt shouted.

"Wow, no wonder you have such a bad reputation. It turns out that this is how you complete the task." The Duke sneered.

"Well, I'm blind, let Zelister come over, I'll pay you half the reward, and then I'll get as far as I can!"

"Zelist was killed by the monster."

"Monster?!" The Duke made an exaggerated expression, "But the witch hunter, you just told me that there was no monster, is there something wrong with my ears, or... "

"You filthy stuff murdered my government officer!"

"Crash!"

At this moment, a column of water soared into the sky, and at the top of the column, the figure of a mermaid appeared.

"Look, it's a mermaid!!"

"Everyone sees her skin is green!"

"And the two balls on his chest!!"

"God, I dare swear, that's the most perfect I've ever seen!"

A series of noise sounded on the deck, and the duke's personal guards all opened their eyes and talked.

Even the Duke changed his previous seriousness and stared at the mermaid intently.

"Please tell me about my anger!" the mermaid said to Roger.

"Tell them who I am!"

Even in anger, the mermaid's voice was extremely pleasant, but the Duke did not give Roger a chance to retell.

He raised his hand suddenly, and the guards beside him received the order and put bows on the strings. They held powerful crossbows and locked Roger and the others firmly.

"So you actually colluded with them!!" The Duke looked furious.

"This is the sea of ​​human beings. Leave here immediately, otherwise I will regard your actions as a provocation!"

Dandrian jumped up in anger, but he wisely did not lean forward, but hid behind Roger and cursed.

"What did he say?" Even if he couldn't understand the Duke's words, the mermaid knew what that meant by looking at his actions.

Roger turned his head and recounted the Duke's words. After a moment, the water rippled and more than a dozen figures emerged from the water.

"Very good, tell the arrogant human that if he wants war, I will give it to him!"

Both sides are ready and the battle is about to break out.

At this time, Roger turned around and looked at Shiennaz, "Don't worry, there will be no war, because the grudge between me and him has not yet been cleared."

At this time, the Duke spoke again, but the object of his speech was no longer Roger and others, but Ashe hiding behind everyone.

"It's so heartbreaking, beautiful Miss Ashe, I have invited you several times, but you trampled on my heart without hesitation."

"But now I am willing to give you a last chance to leave them and come to my boat. You are my respected guest and can continue to attend the banquet in a few days."

"Even the conditions I promised you before will not change."

"What a pity, if the two witch hunters went on a mission together, then today's situation would not have happened."
