Chapter 159 Protective Artwork: "Ergani's Skirt"!
Chapter 160 Protective Artwork: "Ergani's Skirt"!
By this time, the sea was a complete mess.
Broken planks and masts floated everywhere, with tattered canvas and ropes tangled among them.
"Thump."
Ethan stood with one foot on the railing, gazing up at the boundless, surging sea.
A surge of lofty ambition arose spontaneously.
"This is the beginning of my great journey!"
Ethan raised his arms and shouted, his black hair flying behind him.
His cobalt blue eyes shone brightly.
Mr. Lovegood gazed at the sea, which looked as if it had been ravaged by a tornado.
And then there's the black wizard desperately calling for help at sea.
I think it's better if Ethan's grand journey doesn't begin.
"Coins are flying in."
Luna waved her wand at the sea.
The glittering coins flew up with a clatter and landed on the deck in front of her.
Ethan gave a thumbs up: "Genius!"
Luna: "Hehe~"
"..." Mr. Lovegood choked up for a moment, then said tactfully, "This money isn't ours, we shouldn't..."
Ethan: "What I picked up is mine. There's no name written on it."
Lovegood: ...Alright then.
Is this Ethan's double-crossing strategy?
What exactly does Hogwarts teach...?
Ethan and Luna were having a great time collecting coins.
There were only six Galleons, but the silver coins and bronze nats were piled up in two heaps.
It was a worthwhile trip. As the saying goes, when a fisherman catches a big fish, he unconsciously loses his way.
Ethan and Luna, father and daughter, worked together to suspend the Lamora King on the comb rod.
To prevent its heavy weight from crushing the mast at once.
They put in a lot of effort.
To prevent the king fish from dehydrating and dying, Ethan soaked it in water, covering its entire head.
"Restored to its original condition."
The nearly wrecked hull was repaired.
The bow of the ship is raised high, and the seawater rushes down!
Amidst the fluttering sails.
The Lamora Fish King resembles a silver-white battle flag planted on the brown-gray earth.
As prey.
It showcases the hunter's power and majesty!
The ship sailed straight toward the port!
port.
Jack, the butcher, was smoking a cigarette.
He squatted on the pier, his fierce eyes staring intently at the sea.
"Still waiting?"
"A wizard joked."
"Don't wait any longer. Your wealthy buyer might already be drowned at sea."
"Hmph, I don't think so."
Jack muttered to himself.
Actually, he didn't know why he was waiting.
Whether the little devil is swallowed by the waves or successfully catches a fish, what does it have to do with him?
But Jack just had a kind of instinctive intuition.
He was made to squat in the cold wind for most of the day.
We waited until fiery clouds appeared on the horizon and dusk fell.
If we leave now.
He might miss a once-in-a-lifetime moment!
Sudden.
Jack's gaze sharpened, and Xiu Di stood up, staring at the sea horizon, and said in a low voice:
"They're here!"
A black dot appeared on the horizon.
It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's speeding towards the port!
Jack's shout drew a crowd of people from the surrounding area.
I harbor a strange sense of anticipation.
He kept a close eye on the approaching sailboat.
When the ship gets closer.
A sharp-eyed sailor suddenly cried out:
"Look! What's that?! What have they tied to the pole?!"
People immediately squinted to look.
Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and he gasped!
"Hiss!"
What... what is that?!
The air seemed to freeze.
In deathly silence.
As the ship drew closer, everyone's gaze was fixed upwards.
The shadows cast by the ship, like a rising, gaping maw, slowly swallowed them up.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was like an ancient creature stranded on the ground.
A colossal object, tens of meters high, suspended on a mast!
The silvery-white scales, rising and falling with the abdominal cavity, refracted a shimmering light like stained glass in the sunlight.
Its pupils are almost as big as a person's head, and they are pitch black.
They were helplessly looking down at them through the bubbles.
Surprisingly, one can see a glimmer of wisdom within it.
"Clatter".
Jack stared up at the creature, his mouth agape in astonishment.
He didn't even notice when the tobacco in his mouth fell to the ground.
Merlin, what exactly is that...?
Did this thing actually exist in the North Sea?
then.
They saw the boy standing at the bow of the boat.
His black hair flew in the wind, and his handsome face was backlit.
Only a pair of cobalt blue eyes, like the sun tearing through the clouds, looked down at them coldly and brightly.
Ethan stared at the dumbfounded figures and curled the corners of his mouth.
Slowly raise your hand, lifting the fishing rod that looks so slender it would break at the slightest touch.
Straight ahead, pointing towards the sun!
A top-notch angler has returned!
It was as if an order had been issued.
Suddenly, everyone cheered excitedly!
"Ohhhhhhh!!!"
"What a handsome young man! Absolutely stunning!!"
"I've lived in Hull for most of my life and I've never seen such a huge fish... You've caught a long-time employee from the North Sea!"
"If only I had boarded the ship with that brat... Sigh, what a regret!"
Jack finally came to his senses.
He smacked his lips excitedly twice before realizing that the cigarette butt had fallen to the ground sometime earlier.
He stared at the giant fish, which was as large as a small mountain, and his eyes welled up with tears. He murmured:
"Yes, yes...this is the kind of prey that deserves the bait..."
At this time.
A voice suddenly rang out:
"Kid! I'll pay you three hundred Galleons for this fish!"
Immediately, a voice retorted, "Three hundred Galleons? You're dreaming! I'll offer five hundred!"
"Five hundred and fifty!"
"Damn it... 580!"
"Heh, kid. I'm in charge of this market. I'll give you 1200. Give it to me."
Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.
Can't compare.
One thousand and two gold galleons!
Wow, that's incredibly extravagant...
Ethan looked at the old man who was making the bid, clenched his fist, and said, "Twelve thousand once...twelve thousand twice..."
Everyone was silent.
The old man grinned smugly.
Looking at the giant fish, his eyes were filled with longing and greed.
Making it into a specimen would certainly be very beautiful and highlight its status.
Ethan: "1200-1300—Sorry, I'm not selling."
Old man: ? ? ?
You're not selling?
Why are you cooperating so enthusiastically if you're not going to sell?!
Are you kidding me?!
The old man's smile froze instantly.
With a wave of his wand, Ethan threw the Fish King back into the sea!
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
The sea was smashed open, creating a tall wall of water that splashed the onlookers from head to toe!
In the blink of an eye.
The colossal fish then vanished from everyone's sight.
"Phew~"
Ethan clapped his hands lightly.
He's a genuinely kind person; he only did it to obtain the Fish King's protective spell.
How could it possibly be truly harmed?
One thousand and two gold galleons?
Embryo, so poor.
"You, you..."
The old man's face turned red with anger as he stared intently at Ethan, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Do you think you can leave here unscathed after insulting me?!"
Before he could finish speaking...
"roar!!!
A deafening roar erupted!
On the sea, Cerberus, which had been unable to play a role until now, took to the air.
It landed on the dock with a thud.
Black sideburns swayed like fire.
Six orange-yellow vertical pupils stared at the crowd with a violent and bloodthirsty gaze, and strings of saliva dripped from their fangs.
Old man:
Old man: "Ahem, would you like us to see you off?"
Amidst the cheers and laughter of the crowd, Ethan departed Hull with a sense of accomplishment.
The land is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and its inhabitants are warm and hospitable.
I'll come again next time.
Ethan wiped the ketchup from his mouth, held the freshly fried crispy fish cake, and looked on contentedly for the rest of the Christmas holiday.
Ethan stayed at Luna's house.
Inspired by the white mist rising on a winter morning.
Infused with the protective spell of the Lamora Fish King, plus shed scales collected from the deck.
Success! An extraordinary painting has been created!
【Name: Ergane's Skirt】
[Type: Item]
[Rank: Tier 2 - Golden Legend]
[Description: As light and thin as gauze, as hard as iron]
[Effect: Resists all curses and reduces the effects of evil curses; however, this item has a limit, and will break if the limit is exceeded.]
[Comment: Using a goddess's dress as a shield? That's clever.]
Ethan: Ah, this is great art.
A streak of light flashed by.
A piece of white gauze, as thin as a cicada's wing, appeared in Ethan's hand.
It flows slowly, like the morning mist.
It was cool and refreshing, with beautiful scales faintly visible, and almost weightless.
"Flames are raging."
The crimson flames spewed onto the white gauze, leaving not a trace.
One by one, it's done!
Ethan's eyes lit up.
He paused for a moment.
Enduring humiliation and hardship, she slowly placed this "goddess's skirt" on her head.
Everything was done to ward off the basilisk's gaze and curse!
