Queen of the Deep.

"Little Luo Zhi, go down and rest, don't worry, you can comfort Nas more." Ulysses boarded the observation deck and returned to his post.

Today it was Ulysses' turn to patrol the sea, but Luo Zhi came up to occupy his place.

It has been half a month since I left Fipper Island, and Luo Zhi lives every day cautiously, worrying about any dangerous situation in his body, and he dies suddenly, and even affects others.

Therefore, he tried his best to avoid being alone with others, and the most suitable place was this tall watchtower. He liked this place very much.

Luo Zhi smiled at Ulysses, "Well, I will go to Nass for a drink."

Nas still hadn't become a wizard yet, he was quite depressed, Ulysses asked Luo Zhi, the strongest sailor, to comfort a person who hadn't acquired the power of elements for a long time, I really don't know if he was doing it on purpose, or because he was rootless ribs.

At this time, only people who have experienced the same experience as Nas can comfort him. Luo Zhi obviously does not have this condition, and he will only irritate people.

Luo Zhi easily jumped off the deck and found Nas by the east window.

"Luo Zhi, I thought you didn't come down until dinner time." Nas was playing cards with someone, and glanced at Luo Zhi, who had the most chips in front of him.

"It seems that you are not troubled." Luo Zhi walked around them, looking at their cards.

Nas smiled and said, "I have accepted the fact that I failed for the first time. After going to the island, I searched for other medicines to try. I heard that the medicines in Heilanghai are cheaper than those outside."

Nas's boss said: "Hehe, if it's really cheap and I don't need to collect materials everywhere, I'm willing to give it a try."

"If you drink potion again, it's a specific element attribute potion, Nas, what elemental power do you want to obtain?" Nas' next family asked.

"Elemental Light," Nas said with a sly smile, "I can pretend to be someone from the Church of Light when I meet them."

"Haha, hounds are sometimes not smart, I think it's okay."

Luo Zhi smiled and watched them play cards for a while, when he suddenly heard excited shouts outside.

"I saw the island!"

This sound attracted everyone to the deck. They hadn't seen the island for a long time. The last time they went to the island was an adventure trip. This time, they hoped it would be a peaceful island.

"Pass through this island and arrive at the island of the city-state before mooring." Rem told everyone loudly as he came, which was what the captain meant.

Luo Zhi looked at Rem, "How long will it take to get to the island with the city-state?"

Rem grabbed his slightly curly blue hair, "I don't know, I just follow the captain's arrangement, and stop when it's time to stop."

"Luo Zhi, how are you feeling recently?" Rem looked at Luo Zhi and asked with concern.

Luo Zhi has returned to his previous optimistic attitude, "Thank you Rem, I am much calmer now, and I no longer see strange pictures."

Rem nodded and said, "That's really great. To be honest, if you behave strangely, only the captain can stop you... Well, I almost forgot, the captain told you to go over."

Luo Zhi immediately went to the captain's cabin without asking Rem first.

"Captain, what do you want from me?" Luo Zhi looked at the captain, the red-haired and green-eyed Captain Sieg sat quietly on the black seat as always, calm and composed, calm and composed.

Captain Sig nodded his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The island of the city-state, do you know where it is?"

Luo Zhi tilted his head slightly, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "It's an island with a lord, which is different from Fipper Island."

"Well," Captain Sig nodded, and put his fists on the table, "Yes, each island in the Black Wave Sea has its own rules, and the rules of islands with lords are more binding, so it is not a simple rule. It is impossible to resist the rules that must be obeyed."

"The lord must be a wizard, and there are wizards or knights in his army. Some city-state rules are contractual."

"The so-called contract rules, that is to say, those who enter the territory must abide by the rules of the territory, what the people can't do, and the lord can't do anything to the people. This object can be divided into local people and foreigners."

"For example, it is not allowed to steal within a certain range. Once you steal, you will be sentenced to death. Stealing is the death penalty. It is aimed at foreigners, and locals steal. The punishment is not as severe as the death penalty."

"Then, according to the contract, it is a mutual principle between the two parties. Correspondingly, the lord cannot do certain things, for example, he cannot plunder foreigners."

"This is a contractual rule. If the lord uses a contract-like rule as a law, people who commit crimes in this territory will be automatically punished without the need for official arrests."

"There are no restrictions if there are non-contractual rules. It is just a verbal warning. If people commit crimes, they need to be arrested by the government and then tried."

"For example, we stole on a certain island and were arrested by the authorities. The other party would kill them if they wanted to, lock them up if they wanted to, and rob us if they wanted to rob us. But as long as we have the ability to escape, we will not be punished. This is No contractual constraints."

"When we go to Lord Island, we must first understand the local rules, the official laws, and avoid danger."

Luo Zhi listened carefully, his blue eyes blinked, and he nodded again and again, "It's so interesting...well, I mean, is this magic? Very powerful magic, if the law is appropriate, it is an appropriate punishment, and if it doesn't reach the point of stealing, it is the death penalty." If it is so extreme, I think the rules of the nature of the contract can be generalized."

In this way, there is no need to waste police force, which saves a lot of work. People are punished when they commit crimes, as if there is an invisible pinhole camera with personality, watching people all the time. Although this is very uncomfortable, if it can be reduced The crime rate, Luo Zhi is not unacceptable.

Captain Sig said with an unchanged expression: "Magic is good. This kind of contract is obtained by the rule maker praying to some great beings, or he obtained some kind of contract with some beings. In short, it is not easy to do. There is a price to pay for magic."

"The rules of the contract have multiple punishments for the restricted objects, and the rule makers must also bear corresponding restrictions."

"I know a lord, a female lord, who hates passionate people very much. She made a rule. During the marriage contract or even the love period, if a party betrays the other party, the punishment for the betrayed party is that the betrayed party Stab it."

"Where to poke, how deep it is, depends on the mood of the betrayed party at the time. If the betrayed party is very angry, sad, and sad, then the stabbing may be the heart. If it is only sad, the stabbing is not. Crucial."

"Correspondingly, the restriction imposed by the rule maker is that she cannot be with the person she likes, and every time a betrayer appears, she will feel the pain of the betrayed party and the punishment of being punished." Part of the pain on one side."

Luo Zhi was dazed, and said after a while: "What's the point? Isn't she punishing herself?"

You can't betray during the love period, that is, you can't empathize with someone else. Once you fall in love with someone, you have to stick to it until the end. If you want to change someone, you have to be stabbed first.

This is too extreme!

"There are a lot of people with strange tempers here, with all kinds of strange abilities and various rules and restrictions." Captain Sig leaned back on the chair, put his hands on the armrests, and spoke lazily.

"There are songs with certain lyrics that cannot be sung, where and when you cannot use magic, and when you cannot have fun..."

"Some of these rules are due to the preferences of the rule makers, some are local customs, and some are related to the existence of beliefs. In short, as long as there are rules, they must be followed. Once violated, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Okay, then we can only abide by it and avoid punishment. It seems that only the gods can fight against it. I hope that there will be no such rules in the place we go next... Captain, does Seglinde have such rules?" Luo Zhi asked worriedly , I just feel depressed, and the optimism I had just disappeared.

He is a carefree person, informal, accustomed to being casual, and a person who easily breaks the rules. He is very worried that he will be punished without knowing it.

"Huh? Why did the captain ask me to do science education alone?" Luo Zhi was puzzled, did he ask him to do science education with everyone during the meal?Isn't this the job of Lun and the others?

"Weak gods may not be able to resist," Captain Sig shook his head. "Seglinde has no contract rules. It is the most inclusive city in the Black Wave Sea. It has people from all over the world. If there are contract rules, No more prosperity."

Luo Zhi nodded, he was relieved that Seglinde didn't have contract rules, he didn't care if he went to other places, since they all came to the Black Wave Sea, if Seglinde didn't go, there would be a feeling of "not being a hero if you don't go to the Holy Land" "Sense of regret.

Sig said with a serious look in his green eyes: "After arriving at the city-state island, the Deep Sea Queen will berth. You and I will disembark. Before disembarking, you must freeze Lun, remember."

"Huh?" Luo Zhi was startled.

Freeze Len?What does the captain want to do alone without the first mate?Why do you want to do this?

Seeger didn't explain why, "You can reach the city-state island tomorrow. When the ship breaks down, you come to me."

"...Mmm." Luo Zhi nodded blankly and agreed, then left the captain's room full of suspicion.

The captain left Lun because Lun cared too much about the captain and didn't want the captain to take risks?

They are pirates, how can pirates not take risks?Besides, the captain is a very calm person, he will not do anything that hurts himself, and Len will not stop the captain from doing anything.

Then there was only one explanation. The captain didn't want Lun to know what the captain was going to do. The captain called himself to be his bodyguard.

Tut tut!Luo Zhi didn't expect that the interpersonal relationship on this ship is quite complicated.

At night, in the restaurant, Lun told everyone the rules of the city-state and reminded them not to make mistakes.Everyone wailed again and again, the more they emphasized something, the easier it was to commit a crime.

At 02:30 pm the next day, the "Deep Sea Queen" came to a large island, and the ship was moored at the side port.

"There are still a few days to go to Seglinde. We will replenish food here for a few days. We will only stay for one night. We must come back before eight o'clock tomorrow." Lun announced to everyone.

Because the materials purchased on Fipper Island were limited, especially food, the food supply on board was reduced two days ago.

Moreover, Fipper's taste did not suit most of the people on board. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, everyone ate up all the food on Fipper Island, but they didn't want to eat it again.

After getting free activities, the sailors, who had been depressed for a long time on the boring ship, did not wait to get off the ship to enjoy it, but cautiously discussed whether there are contract rules on this island, hoping that someone would recommend themselves to have a look.

Luo Zhi remembered the mission given by the captain, and he told Nas that he wanted to act alone, so he slipped into the captain's room.

After confirming that no one saw him, Luo Zhi quietly entered the captain's room. Why did he feel that he was the thief?

As soon as he entered the room, Luo Zhi couldn't help being stunned. There was a man in a classic gray-white wizard robe standing by the window, with a hood covering his entire head. He silently looked out the window.

"Captain." Luo Zhi said softly, it was the captain, he could feel the melancholy of this person, it was the first time he saw the captain wearing a wizard robe.

Sig Capet turned around, the hood exposed the lower half of his face, and he said, "Len is coming over."

"En." Luo Zhi nodded, at this moment, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Luo Zhi turned his head, and Lun walked in.

"Captain, Luo Zhi, you... um!"

Luo Zhi didn't wait for Lun to finish speaking, and raised his hand to Lun, "Frozen spell!"

Suddenly, Lun's whole body was wrapped in transparent ice crystals, turning into a human body crystal.

"Huh? Huh?" Inside the ice crystal, Lun's pale golden eyes were filled with panic for a moment, and then were covered with blankness.

In front of Lun's line of sight were two figures shrouded in wizard robes. He couldn't see their expressions, so he didn't know why.

why?

"Sorry, Mr. Lun!" Luo Zhi pulled up his hood and smiled apologetically.

Through the transparent ice crystal, Lun's eyes fell from Luo Zhi to the captain, and he suddenly realized something.

"Let's go." Sig Capet said lightly.

Luo Zhi nodded, and wanted to go out, only to realize that he had frozen Lun at the door, so he was quick.

There was no other way, he hugged the ice sculpture of Lun and moved aside, and the captain walked out silently.

After another apologetic obeisance to Lun, Luo Zhi went after the captain.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two got off the boat calmly, and Rem didn't ask the captain and Luo Zhi, nor did the others.

"The captain only guards against Lun, poor Lun." Regarding the relationship between Lun and Captain Seeger, Luo Zhi had various conjectures in his mind.

Entering from the port, you can see a city in the distance.

Luo Zhi and Luo Zhi gradually approached, and saw guards at the gate of the city, with words carved on the gate.

It was Gulai language, and Luo Zhi couldn't understand it. Although he had a "general knowledge charm", he would not use it to know the name of a city-state.

Luo Zhi looked at the captain, Sieg had been to the Black Wave Sea, and he understood the Gulai language.

Before Luo Zhi asked, Sig said, "This is Flora City, and the exact territory is not clear."

When the two of them passed through the city gate, there was a soldier on the right holding a silver tray, no need to explain, Luo Zhi knew what it meant at a glance.

"One person, one gold coin." The guard said with a cold expression.

Seeger readily put the two golden coins on the silver plate.

Only then did the face of the guard who collected the money change, and he became friendly to the traveler, "Welcome to Flora City, after entering, the city's law is on the left, and the prayer temple is on the right. May the goddess of flowers bless you, and wish you a pleasant journey! "

The guards didn't want to know the information of the passers-by. It didn't matter who came, as long as they paid the toll.

The city of Flora believes in the god of flowers. Luo Zhi was surprised that this was the first plant god he knew to be believed in.

After passing through the city gate, Luo Zhi was busy looking at the city's laws, but he was not interested in praying to the temple, and he didn't believe in the God of Flowers.

A ten-meter-long wall was densely written with words. Luo Zhi felt dazzled, not because he couldn't understand, but because there were too many rules.

"Don't worry, there are no contract rules. Just like general laws, common-sense crimes such as theft, murder, and robbery are prohibited. The city of Flora is still very gentle. The only special law is that you can't pick flowers, whether they are withered or not, whether they are wild flowers or wild flowers. House flowers can only be moved by people of a specific profession."

The captain simply explained that he did not mention all the regulations in the regulations, which would be too long.

Entering the city streets and passing the market, Luo Zhi heard various voices, all in languages ​​he could not understand. The captain goes.

They saw a carriage, a carriage carrying people, and an unlit oil lamp hanging in front of the carriage. This was the classical carriage in Luo Zhi's imagination.

He was quite excited and wanted to ride. He turned to look at the captain, "Captain, where are we going next?"

Sig didn't answer, and waved to a passing carriage.

The carriage came over immediately, Sig went up, and Luo Zhi quickly followed.

"Go to the bar in the city." Seeger said to the driver.

The coachman was a lean middle-aged man wearing a blue turban. He turned his head back slightly and said to the guests, "Dear gentlemen, there are two bar locations on West Street and South Street."

"West Street is a place frequented by ordinary people. Gangsters and wizards are mixed together. South Street is a quiet place where gangsters are not allowed to enter. The prices are relatively expensive."

"Which side are you two going to?"

"West Street," Sig replied.
