The man's name was Adams. He was thin and thin, with his hair covering half of his face, and a lute on his back. He was dressed like a literary bard.

The woman's name is Renee, she has a fiery figure, her flaxen hair is tied into a high ponytail, she wears technological glasses on her head, and she wears a simple leather jacket and shirt, like an engineer.

After hearing part of the discussion here, the two suddenly wanted to join the team and had to jump out to express their dissatisfaction.

"This trip is very dangerous, we can't continue to increase the burden. This hillbilly from Wrexham, obviously can't help much.

"Yes, the safety issue is all up to us. If we encounter danger, we don't have the energy to protect the excess..."

"Tsk! Then... Merlin was speechless, two eyebrows furrowed deeply, looking at the Mithril adventurer from London in front of me, what can I do?

Do I need someone to protect?

Are these words to me

(:"One)

Chapter 17: Captain's Room

Merlin looked at the Mithril adventurer from London in front of him, feeling helpless.

Are you a burden that needs protection from others?How confident are the people who say this?

"You two, please don't talk nonsense. This Merlin is very powerful. He will definitely help us in our voyage, not a burden. I hope you will take back what you said." Captain Dennis said seriously. He must have been helping to speak when he was suddenly rejected.

"Extraordinary strength?" Adams glanced at Merlin, and cocked his mouth in disdain. Is the "Captain Pavilion" kidding here?We are not three-year-old children.'

"That's right, Wrexham's adventurers are average, and the only one who has a bit of reputation... looks like a fighter named Carl. Renee smiled and looked at Merlin and said, "As for this little brother?Obviously, the activity is at the bottom of the adventurer industry, and you can also do some low-level tasks of helping grandma to cross the road. The strength is extraordinary?nonexistent.

Captain Dennis was speechless, his two eyebrows curled up. He didn't expect the adventurers from the royal capital to be so acrimonious and arrogant.

However, Adams and Renee do have proud capital. The Adventurer's Guild in London has always been among the best.

In the past adventurer competitions, the adventurers in the guild can always achieve impressive records, and they can be regarded as an elite force that cannot be ignored in the industry.

Not to mention that our president is a famous purple-gold adventurer, but unfortunately he was beaten by Merlin and fell into a coma...

"If the two of you can take Merlin seriously, I think you will definitely change your current thinking. Once I was fortunate to go to an island with Merlin and saw him turn the tide and split the whole island. Strength, you are eligible to join our team "Is it proud to be able to split an island?"Adams disagrees, and even thinks that Captain Dennis has exaggerated suspicions.

"If the two of us go all out, this kind of thing can also be done, I'm afraid that little... one is actually a small mountain bag? Renee chuckled lightly.

Captain Dennis's face turned dark, wondering if his words were so unconvincing?

The island is very big, and Merlin probably didn't go all out at the time, but attacked casually.

Such a shocking thing was understood by Adams and Renee to be as simple as flattening a small mountain bag. It has to be said that although the two are adventurers in the city, they have the meaning of a frog in the bottom of the well.

"Two lottery __o

"Okay, no extra explanation is needed." Merlin patted Captain Dennis on the shoulder to stop him from continuing to useless explanations, "I promise I won't drag you down, let alone your protection, is it satisfactory now? "

"Who wouldn't say beautiful things? Your strength is so low, it is not suitable to join us, but we are going to a very dangerous place, do you understand?" Renee said with a serious expression.

"Yes, I think you are a peer at any rate, so I advise you to be a little self-aware and want to swim in the muddy water? Then you have to see if you have enough ability." Adams didn't bother to see Merlin.

"If I have to get on the boat, do you think it can stop me?" Merlin frowned, and squeezed the sword at his waist.

"Oh? The tone is not small... Adams narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't mind teaching Merlin.

"The current low-level adventurers really don't understand the respect... A grim smile flashed across Renee's face.

Morrison, who had not said a word, suddenly said: "Okay, I agree with Brother Merlin to join the team, but this trip is very dangerous. You have to protect yourself."

"I can return this sentence to you as it is." Mei Lin said with a gentle expression.

"Hey! What are you doing?! It will only add to the chaos if the weaker guys join!" Renee complained dissatisfied.

"I am the commander of this operation. I agree with Your Excellency Merlin to join the team. It's that simple, don't you understand people? Morrison said hard.

"... Adams pointed to Morrison and said in a low voice, "If something happens, you are responsible for it, and it has nothing to do with our Adventurer Guild.

"You are just hired facilitators. Don't interfere with my decision. You don't have the right to do this." Morrison said bluntly that Adams and Renee had nothing to refute despite their unhappy hearts. The commanding authority of the fleet is in Morrie. In Sen's hands, the two of them are just here as thugs.

"Oh, right, Lord Merlin's physical strength is very good. He beat me once. It's not as useless as you said. Of course, I wasn't very serious about trying one." Morrison said casually.Lord Merlin couldn't help rolling his eyes, and wanted to say as if you could win if you were serious?To a certain extent, this simple-minded guy Biadams and Renee are also hateful!

Adams and Renee showed suspicious expressions, glanced at each other, and wondered if they had ever defeated the Seventh Cavaliers of Thorns in strength?true and false?

Isn't it a lie that Morrison fabricated to get Merlin in...

A full moon hung in the dark night sky, waves and wind continued to hit.

The William, armed to the teeth, sailed on the sea, followed by several warships.

This time Queen Elizabeth sent a small number of soldiers, probably less than a thousand soldiers.

The mission goal is to enter the unknown mysterious sea, collect as much information as possible, and figure out the dangerous factors that threaten the security of the kingdom.

So just check it out. If Morrison's team loses contact, Elizabeth will find other ways to try to kill the danger in the cradle.

In the internal captain's room of the William, Captain Dennis enthusiastically invited Merlin to drink, saying that he was grateful for his willingness to join the fleet.

Captain Dennis took out the red wine he had kept for a long time and shared this expensive and rare thing with Merlin.

Merlin's eyes brightened after tasting a little bit. It tastes mellow and sweet in the throat. It is a high-end wine. Which well-known winery might come from?

It's a pity that Merlin knows nothing about wine tasting. It is difficult to tell where it comes from just by taste. This is the skill of sommeliers.

"Your Excellency Merlin, how is it?" Captain Dennis said proudly with a wine glass, "This red wine is produced in Spain, the hometown of Anthropocene 76 years old, and it costs as much as 20,000 gold coins a bottle."

"Twenty thousand?!" Merlin widened his eyes slightly, looking at the red transparent wine in the glass in surprise, thinking that he had just sipped a few hundred gold coins. This is not enjoyment, but pure money burning!But Captain Dennis is a capable person, and there is nothing fuss about secretly enjoying premium drinks, it's just the price... It's prohibitive...

"Yes, although it is a bit more expensive, it is worth the price. Every time I taste this familiar taste, I feel like returning to my hometown, recalling the young and ignorant me, holding Blacka alone to challenge the fierce male... Captain Dennis said leisurely that he once served as a senior admiral, and still can't forget his hometown.

Merlin looked at the rock-solid sea falcon, and suddenly realized that he didn't understand the tough old man.

However, looking around the captain's room, I found that all the furnishings are very retro and full of traces of the years, which fully shows that Dennis is not as simple as the surface, but a person with great connotation.

Suddenly, Merlin’s attention was attracted by an oil painting on the wall. It was a beautiful lady wearing a long dress and a crystal crown. Sitting on a chair, the blue pendant on the lady’s neck was shown in the picture. The hanging hanging that Alice has always worn...

Miraculous.

Chapter 18: Suspicious (plus more)

Merlin's interest suddenly came up, she couldn't help but stepped forward with the wine glass, and looked at the oil painting carefully.

After I got closer, I saw more clearly, and suddenly I found that the lady in the painting was very beautiful, like a waterfall of blue silk, falling freely and loosely on the thin shoulders.

Although she could not escape the devastation of the years, her face was still admiring her beauty.

The elegant long skirt echoes the crystal crown on the top of the head, and it looks like one.

The beautiful lady dotedly looked at the silver-haired baby in her arms, and brought the maternal glory to the extreme!

With outstanding painting skills and sharp brushstrokes, it is not inferior to Cain's paintings. It is a very vivid oil painting...

Of course, Merlin's focus is not on the maternally beautiful lady in the painting, nor the clamoring silver-haired baby, but the blue pendant on her neck.

Under Merlin's intensive observation, he found that the pendant in the painting and the one on Alice's neck... were not as simple as the gods, as if they were carved out of a mold.

The same color, the same craftsmanship, and the same carving, even if it is made by a craftsman, will not cause any disagreement.

This is the first time that Merlin has seen Dennis's collection in the Captain's Room. The last time he had no chance at all, he did not expect that there would be a imaginative picture hanging here.

Merlin frowned, the woman wearing the crown, the silver-haired baby in her arms, almost exactly the same hanging...

Linking these three things together, and making a bold connection, Merlin fell silent. Is it a coincidence?

I remember the last time Dennis had misunderstood that Alice was a member of the Spanish royal family.

Doesn't Alice want to look simple on the surface, but the first queen of a certain kingdom?

No way?Alice said she was an orphan and grew up under the care of her teacher.

Although the Spanish royal emblem is engraved on the back of the pendant, Alice’s parents may also be guards or women working in the palace.

In order to make my children rich and grow up, I stole the royal stuff, hoping that the adopters could help raise Alice

Merlin recalled Alice's carefree look, and felt that the latter was obviously more likely. After all, it was common for maids in the palace to steal small objects and sell them.

"What's wrong? {Your Excellency Merlin 1i1 "Captain Dennis came over curiously and looked at the oil painting." Are you interested in this painting?'

"Then...it's kind of... Merlin said nervously.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to be interested in art. You are a man of style... Captain Dennis seems to have found the same kind, and he likes to talk with Merlin more and more. He also likes art.

"Who is... in this painting?" Merlin asked curiously.Wenxing

"The name of this painting is "The Beautiful Princess". It was painted by the great painter Michelangelo himself when he traveled to Spain for Princess Josephine." Captain Dennis pointed to the lady in the painting and said, "This is what Princess Josephine, the baby in her arms is the only little princess in the kingdom. Her name is Diana. This painting was sold for 5 million gold coins at the auction house. But I went bankrupt and bought this painting...

Merlin nodded, looked at the woman in the painting and said, "This is what you said before... the princess who was assassinated in the court battle?

"Yes, it was this beautiful husband... Captain Dennis paused, and recalled, "I'm just a little officer. I have never seen Princess Josephine herself, but I heard she was so beautiful that she was suffocating. In the dark night, even the starlight will be dim, and the character is kind, and often use kind deeds to help the poor...

"Listen_ ... wrong... Merlin echoed, but what I thought was, a good ass! Is it the Virgin?

"Princess Josephine is a devout believer. When she first married into the Spanish royal family, she encountered many protests." Captain Dennis stared at the person in the painting and said deeply, "If she refuses to marry His Majesty the King at the beginning , This kind woman may not die in the court's infighting.

"It turns out like..." Merlin nodded, thinking that the devout believer = the Holy See had successfully brainwashed, and being stabbed to death is not an accident.
