I am a saint in destiny

Either the old man avoided them on purpose during these three days, or the old man just came here.

Anyway, the old man must have another purpose in coming to them now.

"This old gentleman, probably didn't say this on purpose." Rita asked.

"Hahahahahahaha, that's right, this adventurer...Miss Maid is right, I really didn't come here to talk about this. My name is Miguel, and I'll put it bluntly—three brave and powerful Miss Warrior... are you willing to help me, an old sailor with a crippled left hand, to complete a great hunt?"

The old man said with a smile.

Because they will encounter the sea monster Leviathan when going out to sea, the islanders are unwilling to stay away from the isolated island.

The old man's words also surprised the three of Rita.

"You mean..."

Bianca looked at the old man excitedly.

The old man nodded and said: "I mean, I can provide you with a boat and take on the responsibility of driving it. Of course, if you don't think it's just a reed boat...haha."

The old man smiled very easily, but the three of Rita could only helplessly.

It is simply unrealistic to reach the Republic of India and Kazakhstan across the ocean by reed boats, but the three have no choice, unless the three of them can build their own boats.

"Get rid of the sea monster first, as long as the sea monster is eliminated, the islanders should agree to go to sea..."

Rita immediately calmed down Bianca.

Of course, that's what she said, but she actually decided to snatch a big ship from the island after the sea monster was dealt with.

In fact, if the old man in front of her doesn't show up, Rita will take action.

Unlike the young and energetic Bianca and Zofia, they have too little experience, so they don't know how ignorant the islanders are and how limitless they can be.

The old man gave Rita a meaningful look.

He didn't think that this beautiful maid would communicate with the islanders in a nice way.

However, this is none of his business.

……

Not long after, the old man came to the beach and looked at the endless sea and sighed: "Oh, the sea, my old friend! Thank you for your generosity, so that my old moldy old boat has not fallen apart until today!"

The old man's exclamation made the three of Rita's heads full of black lines.

Bianca looked at the 'old broken boat' in the old man's mouth dumbfounded, well, it was worse than she imagined.

"Hahaha, look, this reed boat is still so strong after three years of ashes!"

"........."

The three of Rita were speechless.

By this time, it was quite self-defeating.

"Has what Leviathan has besieged the island for so long?" Bianca couldn't help asking.

When they first came to this isolated island, because they lost contact with Freya, the three of Bianca did not seek information, but only looked for a temporary residence on the island.

And the next day, after confirming that Freya was in the Republic of India and Canada, I started to inquire about the situation, and then learned about the sea monster Leviathan from the islanders, and also learned why many islanders have boats, but they don’t want to. Instead of going out to sea to fish, choose to collect shells and catch crabs.

"...Well, it may be longer or maybe. Anyway, it seems to have built a nest near here and refuses to leave." The old man replied.

"When we came here in the first year, we were able to catch a lot of good fish!"

After the old man finished speaking, Rita asked: "...Excuse me, old man, did you find any other islands around at that time?"

"That's not true, otherwise it wouldn't be said that this is an isolated island... There is no other land in sight from here. If there is no adequate preparation, even Columbus would not dare to set sail rashly."

The old man answered Rita's question seriously.

The waves hit the shore, and the old reed boats kept sinking and sinking.

Even if this reed boat can take them to the sea, it is impossible to take them on the sea for several days. After all, they can't even confirm the direction of the Republic of India and Kazakhstan.

With the tonnage of the reed boat, it is impossible to bring enough fresh water and dry food, and the strength of the reed boat cannot support them to sail for more than seven or eight days.

The sea has a gentle side, but it can also be a scary side.

Even without the sea monster Leviathan, the islanders seldom sail far, and the terror of the sea has killed countless people at the bottom of the sea.

"We need a 'strong' ship."

Rita gave up on the wreck, she wasn't even sure if the wreck would hold up when they fought the Leviathan.

"Hahaha, that's right. If the goal of the three adventurers is to find the mainland, I can't do it with only my old broken ship. The sea will not always be as calm as it is today... the moment it shows its angry side , this old dilapidated ship will fall apart immediately, but... if we can kill Leviathan, there must be enough people willing to listen to us, whether it is to build a big ship, or to prepare fresh water and dry food for our long-distance voyage.”

"real or fake??"

Bianca couldn't help but exclaimed.

In fact, she was almost desperate.

She thought the old man's "reed boat" was just a humble word, but who would have thought that it was really a reed boat.

The old man chuckled: "It's nothing to be surprised about, isn't that what human beings are like? Everyone is ignorant and echoes what others say. They regard you as heretics because you didn't follow their rules. The castaways living on this island want to They have never been heroes, but poor wretches whose status is lower than theirs, and only in this way can their poor dignity be maintained."

"You broke the rules they have always relied on, and you naturally became heretics. Under the instigation of caring people, you became witches... But those who really know know very well that you are different. Older people can see more at a glance. Seeing your essence is the only way to exclude you in this way, simply put, heroes will not harm civilians."

The old man somewhat looked down on the self-deprecating people on the island.

But if they want to make a change, they must first defeat the sea monster Leviathan they fear.

"In fact, they are afraid of Leviathan. No matter how ignorant people are, it is impossible for them to think that picking up shells and catching crabs can satisfy their appetite. In order not to starve to death, they must go to sea to fish, but this is just one thing. Why can't everyone know the matter? Isn't it because they have lost the courage to face the sea monster..."

"So they set up rules on the isolated island to deceive themselves. Hahaha, to be honest, human beings are actually a species that relies on confidence to survive. For example, why do Spanish soldiers often win more with less in the face of those barbarians? ?”

"It's not that we are really too strong to be defeated, but that we make the enemy feel no hope of victory. Otherwise, how can we conquer Peru with a population of millions with only one or two hundred adventurers?"

The old man named Miguel could tell that the blond girl was immature at the moment.

Even though he has the aptitude to become a great hero, he is still a little young and energetic now, or he is pushing himself too hard in order to catch up with his goals and pursue strength.

As an old man, he naturally couldn't bear to let the girl's future be interrupted.

"The Lepanto sea battle was won with less, and it was because everyone stepped on the enemy's feet from the momentum, rather than relying on some Venetian warships grinding their guns before the battle."

After listening to the old man's words, Rita couldn't help but look at Bianca more, and then said to the old man. "Old sir, are you from... Imperial Spain?"

"Oh, Miss Maid has a good eye. However, I hope you will pay more attention to the two young warrior ladies. They need more attention."

The old man didn't say much.

After all, how those two young girls choose their future should be their own choice.

Rita nodded slightly, looking at the old man with a touch of respect in her eyes.

She also admired the vision of the old man. Rather than relying on the information disclosed by the other party to guess which era the other party came from, the other party judged the flaws of Bianca and Zofia based on their experience and experience.

As the controller of the secret mobile force and the spy agency, Rita knew how desperate these two were, especially Bianca. In order to catch up with Freya, she only rested for four hours a day.

Because of Rita's special constitution, four hours of rest is enough, but Bianca is completely forcing herself.

So is Zofia.

And the old man's words also let Rita know that after the end of this exploration trip, she will give them a long vacation no matter whether they like it or not.

"Thank you very much."

"Where, before I stumbled into this different world by accident, I was not only a veteran soldier, but also a cultural person who had published several books. Of course, I don't want young soldiers to become heroes too early."

Rita thanked the old man, and the old man waved his hands and replied with a smile.

"Hmph, this sentence really doesn't look like what a cultural person would say."

"Why can't cultural people say it? What cultural people are best at is irony, not to mention that only dead soldiers can become heroes."

The old man smiled very relaxedly. He came from Spain during the imperial period. Even though his left hand was crippled in the Battle of Lepanto, he still faced life with an optimistic attitude.

He also had a dream of becoming a hero, but due to financial constraints and his disabled left hand, he had no chance of promotion, so he was forced to leave the army.

The temperament of the three girls made him feel good.

After all, a guardian who fights to protect something and a butcher who only exists to kill the enemy have different temperaments after all.

Just looking at the two girls who were too young, the old man couldn't bear it.

"I don't know what era you are from, but it may be the fault of us men for such a young girl to become a warrior."

Looking at the expensive outfits on the girls, the old man thought that they should come from hundreds of years later, but the world needs such young girls to be warriors hundreds of years later, which still makes the old man feel sad.

"Old man, we come from 400 years later, thank you for fighting the injustice for us, but our current enemy is not other countries, but a terrible Houkai creature, such an enemy can only be a girl with Houkai adaptability Fight it."

Rita didn't mind explaining the current situation of the main world to the old man, but in the process, the old man accidentally revealed the book he had written, and the three of Rita finally knew the true identity of the old man named Miguel.

The old man's full name is Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, and he is well known as the greatest writer in the Spanish literary world. His work "Don Quixote" has reached the level of Spanish classical art. The peak marked the creation of modern European realistic novels has entered a new stage.

Critics call his novel "Don Quixote" the first modern novel in the history of literature, and it is also one of the treasures of world literature.

After learning the true identity of the old man, the three of Rita were stunned.

No one thought that the old man would be such a 'historical figure'.

"I thought you were a battle-tested old knight..."

"Hahahahahaha, although it's a pity that I didn't become an old knight, it's not bad to be still so famous after 400 years."

The old man was in a very happy mood.

356. "?????" X4

Rita and the others did not expect that the real identity of an old man who had volunteered himself was such a famous writer.

In fact, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra had such an impact on world literature that Spanish has even been called 'the language of Cervantes'.

The old man looked at the stunned look of the three, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

And who doesn't like being able to stay on top of history?

The long time is enough to cover up everything. How many people still remember the Atlantis civilization? The pre-civilization that fought against Houkai 5 years ago left only a few relics. The technology of the pre-civilization to fight against the collapse remains in the relics, but too much history and culture of the pre-civilization are missing.

Even the soul steel quantum computer that Kevin gave to Freya still lost a lot of culture that needs to be passed on...

Some people are eager to leave a good name in history, while some people don't hesitate to leave a bad name for thousands of years in order to let history record themselves.

In fact, compared with those who have been stinking for thousands of years, who can remember those who just muddle along?

There are two types of human death, one is physical death and the other is memory death.

For most people who live in a muddle-headed way, they die physically first, then die with their close descendants, and finally experience death in memory.

But for someone as immortal as Cervantes, they will never fade from people's memory.

Of course, according to the history Rita and the others knew, Cervantes had already passed away.

"Old sir, I remember that you should have died in Madrid on April 1616, 4." Rita asked with doubts.

"Miss Maid knew very well that I was indeed suffering from severe edema at that time, and I had accepted this fate, and was writing a speech to Earl Remus for my novel "Percyles and Sesismonda". I don't know why I came here after I opened my eyes. After that, I lived a life of three days of fishing and two days of drying nets with the islanders who were also living here. Until several accidents happened three years ago, After confirming that Leviathan was nesting around, my reed boat never went out to sea again..."

The old man smiled and explained his experience by the way.

"Speaking of which, the three adventurer ladies haven't introduced themselves yet, do you mind letting me, an old man, know your names?"

"Ah! I'm sorry, because I have been suspicious of you before, so... My name is Rita, Rita Rossweisse, and I am the adjutant of the Alliance's Destiny Maiden."

Rita introduced herself, and Bianca and Zofia also introduced themselves.

"...My name is Bianca Atagena, and I am a titled knight of the Apocalypse Knights directly under the Alliance's Destiny Saintess."

"My name is Zofia, ditto."

Hearing the self-introduction of the three, the old man was a little surprised.

"Destiny? I seem to have heard the name..."

As a member of Spain during the imperial period, the old man had heard about this secret organization that existed in the 5th century AD and formally formed in the 14th century AD, headed by the Apocalypse family.

After all, the Mandate of Heaven had a strong momentum in Europe at that time, causing the kings of countless countries in Europe to bow their heads to the Archbishop of the Mandate of Heaven, who represented the gods. At that time, Europe even followed the divine right of kings...

It's just that at that time, Mandate of Heaven existed in the form of the church.

The well-known names are Destiny Church, Destiny Church, Destiny Vatican and so on.

Miguel, who was born in the 16th century, naturally remembered how powerful the Church of Destiny was.

"Although I don't know what the Apocalypse Knights are directly under the Alliance's Destiny Saintess, but I have confirmed your abilities, so I won't intervene in the battle. I am most afraid of laymen's disorderly command. So the division of labor after that...I will be the captain and be in charge. Take the helm, and it is up to you to judge when to advance and retreat."
