Chapter 281 Drift Bottle

After sending Elizabeth away, Tangke focused all his attention on finding Zera, but it was difficult to find out about the murlocs on the shore. After careful consideration, he decided to go to sea first. At sea, he recruited a few Naga fish, and let the "Mentai" recruited last time be their captain.

"Ming Taiyu" made a lot of contributions in the battle of the turbulent sea, and it is not an exaggeration to be a small leader.

Tonk sent out the murlocs and let them go to the bottom of the sea to find out about Zera. Murlocs have little defense against their peers, and it is easy for them to inquire about news.

The shore and the bottom have been inseparable since ancient times, like two different worlds. The shore races confuse sea monsters with sea beasts, seeing them as beasts rather than intelligent races. The sea orcs also have no interest in the shore. Except for a few amphibians, most of them cannot live on the shore, and they naturally regard it as a useless place.

The two sides have an insurmountable gulf and know very little about each other. Things that spread widely on the shore may not be known to anyone when they reach the bottom of the sea. The famous sea beast warriors at the bottom of the sea will only be regarded as nameless monsters on the shore.

It was only in recent years that the situation improved, and the sea beasts and the shore races gradually strengthened their ties and began to communicate with each other. What contributed to this beautiful event was, of course, the reasons for interest. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Various scarce resources on the shore may be everywhere on the seabed. The blade armor that cannot be built on the bottom of the sea is a flood of cheap goods on the shore. Both sides have their own needs, and naturally they hook up together. Toad Island is a very representative example. They serve as mercenaries for Tangke, earn commissions and supplies on the shore, and improve the life on the island. It is not only the spit frogs that serve as sea mercenaries for the shore races, other sea beasts also do the same thing, such as the absolute mussels, thunder emperor eels, bowfish and so on.

In the past two years, Tang Ke has encountered many kinds of sea beasts one after another, and they have been scanned into the system list. It's a pity that he has limited reward points and can't recruit groups of Sea Orcs, and it's not very useful to recruit a few sporadically. However, this state of poverty is gradually changing. After he has a territory and a fleet, the reward points begin to increase automatically, and there is a momentum of getting bigger and bigger. When his reward points are rich enough, he will organize a heterogeneous special force. He is more optimistic about the Eagle Flying Force, which has an absolute advantage in air to sea. He has already tasted the sweetness of this advantage through the Sky.

The strategy of using murlocs to find out information on the bottom of the sea is right.

In just five days, Ming Taiyu brought important news. Zera went to the Black Sea a few months ago and has yet to return. The news came from a tribe of naga fish, and as to why Zera went to the Black Sea, no one knew.

Tang Ke determined the goal, no matter what, he will go to the Black Sea first. During the voyage, we must continue to send murlocs to inquire about news. There are many tribes of Naga murlocs along the way, and we will definitely be able to inquire about more accurate information. He must kill Zera this time, because the side effects of the curse of the fish are getting stronger and stronger. Inexplicable seawater oozes out of his body from time to time, which is an early precursor to the transformation into a murloc.

He was very relaxed to the outside world, but he was actually worried about the curse of the fish. Cold sweat oozes down his back whenever he thinks of Harold's transformation into a sea monster. This time, the trip to the Black Sea stretches more than 10,000 nautical miles away, and it will take at least a month to arrive. In doing so, it pushed him even tighter. After a little bit of calculation, he has been cursed for a year, and in two years, he will completely turn into a sea monster, and he doesn't want to be like that in death.

After a few days, the Black Pearl used the ability of the dark sea to drag two ordinary ships and flew towards the south.

Tangke stood at the bow of the ship, his hair was blowing in the wind, his head was empty now, he didn't think about anything, and silently stared at the vast sea. The sea has a tolerant momentum, and all his troubles are put away.

Something on the sea shone with a dazzling light.

Tang Ke was swayed by the light and narrowed his eyes slightly. He followed the unusual light and saw a drifting bottle on the sea.

There are many drift bottles at sea, which contain letters and notes. Most of the contents are some blessings, but occasionally there are information about shipwrecks or warnings of attack. Sailors will definitely pick up the drift bottle when they encounter it. First, they will relieve the loneliness of life at sea, and second, they may get useful information.

Tangke picked up a coiled rope on the ground, pulled out the Xingyue machete with the other hand, and slashed heavily towards the sea. The sword energy was turbulent, and a wave column was shaken, and the drifting bottle was at the cusp of the storm, bouncing high. He waved the rope again, wrapped the drift bottle firmly, pulled it to his side, and got the drift bottle in his hand.

The drifting bottle was only palm-length long, and in the transparent bottle lay a folded pink letter. Protected by a stopper, the bottle did not drip.

"Pink stationery, isn't it a love letter?" Tang Ke laughed, shattering the glass bottle with a dark energy, took out the stationery, and began to watch it.

To my future lover.

You must be surprised by such an intimacy, right? Hehe, I really want to see your expression after receiving this letter, it must be very wonderful. Calling you this way is not a joke, but my intention and a deep desire.

This is a letter of confession. I hope that through this letter, I will build a bridge between you and me, so that we can come together and know and love each other.

The girl's family shouldn't have said such blatant words, because they are out of reserve. But I have tasted enough loneliness and suffered from loneliness in the closed environment for many years. If I don't do something bold, I'm afraid I'll die alone in this gorgeous cage.

Everyone is entitled to love, I think so. Even though my circumstances did not allow me to have love, I wanted to take the plunge. Even if I can enjoy a day of love and be an ordinary girl for a day, I am satisfied. After this one indulgence, no matter what misery fate puts me in, I won't cry anymore, at least I have.

Although we have never met, I think you are the person I have been waiting for for decades. I have imagined your appearance countless times. You may be a romantic and suave wandering warrior, a tall and mighty sea knight, or a well-known prince and nobleman.

Girls like fantasy, so do I. I hope you can satisfy my fantasy and be as tall and handsome as I think.

I know this is a luxury fantasy that is difficult to achieve, so I pray to the unjust God every day and every night, praying that God will grant my wishes, just this time.

However, the number of times God obeys my heart is really small.

In case you are far from the image I have in mind, please put this letter back in the bottle and help me throw it at sea as if nothing happened. I hereby express my heartfelt thanks to you. Your act of helping others will surely be blessed by God.

But if you are young, unmarried, healthy, handsome in appearance, fully in line with my fantasies about a lover, and if you have a little crush on me, you can write back to me through this piece of paper, and I will communicate with you further.

The pen does not move forward.

A certain girl in a gorgeous cage, Xiaoyu.

Written on the 12th of the solar month, 1746 in the Golden Sea Calendar.

Also: This piece of stationery is called "Acacia Paper", and there are two pieces of paper. As long as you write on one piece, it will be automatically mapped to the other piece of paper. When the paper is full, just blow air, the ink on it will disappear, and you can write repeatedly.

"What is this?" After reading the contents of the letter, Tangke couldn't help laughing. Is this a girl pregnant? Judging from the tone of voice, it was very elegant, and it also mentioned the "gorgeous cage". It seemed that she was still a lady.

Another point is very strange, she always called herself a girl, and said that she had waited for decades, which was a bit contradictory. From this point of view, she must not be a human girl, but a long-lived race such as elves, so she is still a girl in her tens of years.

The date of writing is 46 years, which is one year later. This drift bottle drifted across the ocean and landed in Tangke's hands, which was a wonderful fate.

As for this kind of acacia paper, Tang Ke had never heard of it before. Once he used the investigation technique, he found out that this piece of paper indeed had the effect of repeated writing and conveying words, and it was still a small treasure. How could a girl from an ordinary family have such a good thing, and further verify that the girl who wrote the letter has an extraordinary origin.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do, so let's have fun with you."

Tangke shrugged and returned to the captain's room with the pink stationery. He blew on the stationery, and the ink on it floated away like a black ash. Lying at the table, he pulled out his quill and wrote a reply.

Hello Xiaoyu, I was fortunate enough to pick up this drift bottle one year after you sent your letter. Maybe your prayers are answered and I am the man in your fantasy. I am young, unmarried, healthy looks handsome, just in line with your requirements.

But I am not a knight, nor a noble, but a pirate captain.

If you are not satisfied with my evil identity, you can write back and let me know. For the sake of your dissatisfaction, I can help you deliver the letter to him when you meet a knight or a noble. But well, when I met these kinds of people, they were all my captives, I hope you don't mind that.

A pirate captain replied.

After thinking about it, you may not pay attention to this letter that has been sent for a year, so leave a date. Chances are you'll find some fun in this pirate's reply after many years.

The 18th of the Flower Moon, 1747 in the Golden Ocean Calendar.

Tangke held up the letter and admired his vigorous and powerful handwriting. He was quite satisfied. The fun of writing a letter was more than the fun of seeing it.

The time span of this letter is too large to expect a response. Therefore, Tangke didn't take it seriously, closed the letter, pressed the book to the bottom, and went back to the deck to blow air.
