Chapter 279 (1/2)
”Thank you for your generosity, Master Cecilia. If you are really willing to compensate us, it is a great help. On behalf of all the crew of the William, I am grateful to you.”
”No, as long as I'm doing things for me, I won't treat myself badly.” Cecilia said in a haughty tone, very happy in her heart. At the beginning, she felt that this Captain Dennis had a proud and unpleasant personality. Lowering your proud head to yourself is quite a sense of accomplishment.
”Next, my crew and I will carry out simple repairs to the William, so...” Dennis took out an item from his arms and handed it to Cecilia, ”You take this item away.”
”This is...?” Cecilia looked at the cylindrical object in her hand, and there seemed to be a pull line at the bottom.
”This is a smoke signal bomb. I heard Kyle say that you are going to fight against the evil alchemist. If you encounter unsolvable danger, you will release the signal bomb. We will rush to rescue you as soon as possible.” Dennis is serious. Said, obviously expressing his loyalty to Cecilia.
”Okay...” Cecilia smiled and put away the flare, thinking it might be useful.
Johnson, with a pale face, came out from the William. When his hands touched the ground, he was surprised and happy.
”The earth, it is the earth! God! I'm alive! Hahaha~”
Johnson was holding the sand on the beach in his hand, his eyes were closer than seeing his father. He had never loved the land so deeply, and saw how badly he was tortured by seasickness.
Alice looked at the mountains in the distance and felt that she should act as soon as possible. After all, there were still fishermen captured by the evil alchemist.
If the delay continues, this group of innocent people will be even more dangerous, so it is better to settle the matter early.
”Everyone! Without further ado, let's start. The alchemist's stronghold should be in that mountain range.”
”I do whatever I want, and I can leave anytime.” Mei Lin replied casually.
”Does it really need to be trimmed?” Kyle asked a little puzzled, thinking that after such a dangerous thing just now, trimming would obviously maintain the best condition.
”You don't need to fix it, let's act quickly.” Cecilia seemed to be very excited. This is related to her own interests and can't wait.
”Uh...” A drop of cold sweat slipped on Kyle's forehead, thinking that fighting with fatigue is not good?
”We don't have time to fix it now. That alchemist has imprisoned a lot of fishermen. If we don't waste a minute of time now, they are more dangerous.” Alice said with her eyebrows furrowed, her expression serious.
”Huh?” Merlin smelled a bad smell and asked tentatively, ”You bastard...... Did you promise something inexplicable to make the task more difficult?”
”I... what can I do? I can't help those people die, right? Although we are here to solve the crisis in the sea, it is also important to rescue innocent people, right?” Alice paused, sour. Add another sentence, ”And last night someone hugged an underage girl, and finally had to let me wipe this butt...”
”???” Merlin looked embarrassed, and his head was full of question marks, thinking that this dead washboard was mocking me, right?People have to blame me for coming over?
While the four people were discussing, Johnson strode forward, apparently resurrected in blood after going ashore, and glanced at them with disdain.
”Thank you for your boat, just keep chatting here, I'm going to take a step first...” John waved his hand and walked into the forest without looking back, full of confidence.
”For me, this task is simply not too easy~”
”Throw a few magic casually to pass the level easily.”
”For your sake of letting me go on a boat, I can show mercy to save you a mouthful of soup...”

Chapter 36: Monthly Ticket Plus
The bushes on the island look very dense.
The gloomy seems to be hard to reveal a ray of light, and from time to time there are howlings like wild beasts.
The sound of the branches and leaves flapping against each other always makes people feel like someone is whispering constantly.
Although Johnson is young, he is very cautious, and he is indeed an experienced adventurer.
At this moment, his expression was a bit unnatural, his face was ugly, and a few black lines slipped off his forehead unconsciously.
As for the reason, of course
”You guys, why do you follow me so hard?”
Behind Johnson, Merlin and his party followed closely behind, and did not mean to leave him at all.
”What's the solution? We have to go to that mountain, everyone is just that.” Mei Lin replied helplessly, not wanting to be misunderstood inexplicably.
”Just...that is, who do you think is willing to follow you? What can be done by the way?” Cecilia echoed Merlin.
”By the way, do you think I'll believe it? I'm the first to go to the mountains, you just follow me hard, make excuses and don't write drafts first.” Johnson paused, and said impatiently, ”Say the ugly thing first. In the front, I am not interested in playing with you. Wanting me to be your bodyguard for nothing, is it too cunning?”
”Huh?” Cecilia was immediately unwilling, and said in the voice of a little mistress, ”We have Master Merlin here, do we still need you as a bodyguard?”
Johnson looked back at Merlin, remembering all the previous work on the William, and felt that this man was not easy to deal with. He should be the strongest among this group of people, probably capable of reaching the Holy Order.
But compared to yourself?That's a far cry, even if it is a holy rank?
The holy rank is just the threshold between the strong and the weak, and the gap in strength is still indelible.
Johnson is still very confident in himself, but he is a well-known magic genius, how could he be weaker than an unknown holy order.
”Don't be too self-righteous? The enemy is an alchemist, who needs a research institute. Nowhere else is appropriate except built in the mountains.” Alice looked at Johnson with dissatisfaction and added, ”No one has such a simple truth. Understand, it's not that we are following you on purpose.”
