Chapter 209 -198 Minstrel

This day, the fleet was safe, but the Chamber of Commerce had five ships swallowed by the vortex.

The guild channel was full of cursing and lamentation: “How could this happen? What’s going on here?”

“Brother Fei! Brother Fei, oh! The ships sank!”

Damn! That’s not my fault, what the hell does it have to do with me? Da Fei finally got fed up with the noise, “You guys mean to tell me, you don’t know how to sail your ships?”

“It has nothing to do with sailing, there was a vortex! We never heard of a vortex here during the beta test!”

Da Fei grumbled, “Then what do you say we do? You want me, the guild master, to pay you back or to teach you to sail?”

Everyone was surprised, “Brother Fei is going to reimburse us?”

Da Fei shouted, “Reimburse my ass! You think I’m an insurance company or a daycare? Get back to work! I’ve got no time to listen to your nonsense!” Show them the guild master’s authority!

Everyone quickly said, “Yes, yes, we’ll be more careful next time.”

Da Fei sneered. Damn it, putting on a show for me! If ordinary players lost their ship and cargo, they’d be crying their eyes out, but who are they? Employees of a tycoon studio! The boss takes the hit, not them. No pressure for me to screw them over a bit.

With others’ previous experiences, Da Fei became more nervous. He constantly watched the sea surface to prevent sudden vortices.

As night fell again, Da Fei was even more vigilant. It’s not easy to dodge vortices at night. Meanwhile, the Radiant Wings, which was navigating, remained brightly lit with music and dance, completely unaware of the seriousness of the trial mission! Compared to Spielberg’s whaling ship, they had a complete blackout for light control; now that’s professional!

Damn, having fun every night with the beauties, huh? Da Fei couldn’t take it anymore! I was entrusted by his grandfather to train him, I’m the instructor, the commander, and I order you to be quiet!

Da Fei hurriedly called the Order Flag Bearer, enraged, “Tell the ship in front to put out the lights and silence!”

“Why silence? It’s so boring without music,” Anlicia lounged lazily in the cockpit, fiddling with her Rubik’s cube, pitching in. Throughout the day, Anlicia’s position never stayed the same; sometimes fishing, sometimes blowing on the observatory, sometimes as a guest helmsman, sometimes reading a novel on the deck. In short, she was utterly idle and Da Fei couldn’t do anything with her!

Even you’re going against me! Da Fei almost choked with rage!

Fine, she’s always had this temper! Why is my team so hard to manage? Considering Grandma from Heaven, I’ll sit and reason with you. Don’t forget, Grandma’s last wish was for me to train you, and if you end up like this, it’s a failure on my part as a teacher! Even risking a drop in loyalty, I must train you!

Da Fei took a deep breath, put on a stern face, “We’re on a very important mission, encountering various dangers, so that Baron’s flamboyant behavior must be stopped. I need to enforce a blackout.”

Anlicia chuckled, “If our enemies were just pirates, a blackout would be justified, but the problem is, our enemies aren’t just pirates.”

Da Fei raised an eyebrow, “Does he think holding a concert can take on the Sea God?”

Anlicia shook her head with a smile, “No mortal dares to claim they can take on a god! Look outside, Captain, what do you see glowing around the fleet?”

Looking at the sparkling sea around the fleet, Da Fei remarked, “Isn’t it just the sea reflecting the lights from their ship?”

Anlicia laughed, “Not entirely, some of the light comes from algae, glowing from the wave motions caused by passing ships, known as red tides. These attract lots of fish to feed.”

Da Fei said grimly, “Yes, and they bring sea monsters along too!”

“Ice fruit!” Anlicia laughed, “Exactly, sea monsters! Sea monsters are the Sea God’s enforcers, and they track their targets in three ways: sonar, light, and the scent of blood. The Radiant Wings plays various music all day to disrupt the sea monsters’ sonar signals, and its exaggerated lighting causes large areas of light scattering that can interfere with the sea monsters’ vision and attract lots of fish to further disrupt their perception. The scent of blood isn’t an issue for now. So, perhaps that Baron has other intentions!”

So there is a theoretical basis? Da Fei’s jaw dropped, “Is he really such a profound person?”

Anlicia sighed and shook her head, “He is the grandson of a navigator, technically a Baron of the kingdom, so he has some real skills. Oh, and his profession, a Minstrel. Or, to put it nicely, a musician.”

Da Fei was amazed, “A Minstrel? A hero profession?”

Anlicia shook her head, “Not a hero profession, strictly speaking, just the name of a skill. Historically, there have been heroes in poet professions, like the most famous Undead Poet Virgil, who assisted Dante in traveling through Purgatory. A poet’s weapon is their voice; their music or battle songs can boost morale, increase attack, or frighten enemies, reducing their condition, etc. Unfortunately, the tragedy of poets makes it hard for them to become heroes; there haven’t been poet heroes for thousands of years. Still, poet hero skills have been scattered among common folk and improved in many ways, for example, the church’s holy songs or the Barbarian’s war cries. It’s hard for the Captain to associate Barbarian war cries with poets, right?”

Da Fei gawked, “You know so much!”

Anlicia, with pride, “As an Elf, with a long life comes a long memory, and being well-educated by my family helps.”

Da Fei nodded repeatedly, “No wonder you’re Grandma’s granddaughter!” At this moment, Da Fei felt she might as well have been Grandma possessed!

Anlicia was even more pleased, “By the way, if the Captain wants to confront the Beastmen, you should learn a poet’s skill. A poet skill can effectively counter the Beastman’s battle trenches.”

Learn a poet skill? Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched, “So, if we successfully assist that Baron in becoming a navigator, he’ll teach us poet skills?”

Anlicia laughed, “Ice fruit! But he’ll teach Miss Selvia because Miss Selvia comes from a nun background and sings daily, making her a natural fit. He mentioned this in the hospital room.”

Da Fei suddenly realized, “So that Baron has some abilities!”

Anlicia nodded and solemnly said, “There’s actually one more critical point, the North Sea is rich with sea demons, whose song can drive sailors insane to jump overboard, but only a poet’s song can counter it. I think that’s why Old Coltner appointed him for this mission, to foster his growth, requiring us to face sea demons!”

“So that’s it!” Da Fei now completely understood. This mission required assisting with whaling and fighting sea monsters, it was a tall order! However–

Da Fei cleared his throat, “You seem to know a lot about others; what about yourself?”

Anlicia’s mouth tightened, “Me? What about me?”

Da Fei took out Grandma’s last note with a snort, “Grandma’s last wish was for me to train you, you can’t just play around and talk about others!”

Anlicia chuckled casually, “Oh? How would the Captain train me?”

Damn! She underestimated me! Let me show you what I’m truly capable of!

Da Fei scoffed, “Of course, the two of us will combine Divine Skill Mysterious Stealth Navigation! Our journey is long and arduous; I must intensify your training during this time.”

Anlicia suddenly looked shocked, “Me! Two-person combo? Grandma’s notes said it requires three people!”

Oh yes, indeed inheriting Grandma’s legacy! That’s good, saves me from talking more.

Da Fei arrogantly said, “My Master-level Navigation Skill along with Advanced Navigator makes me practically equivalent to a Grandmaster Navigation Skill, plus my God-level Reconnaissance Technique allows me to take on two roles! You’re the weak link here, dare not work hard?” Whether it works or not, it’s worth trying; even if a skill isn’t formed, a makeshift one can still be useful for defense.

Anlicia’s face twitched with disbelief and disdain “Hmph, there’s nothing great about that! I just don’t believe it!”

Oh yes, success in motivating to learn! Heavenly Grandma, watch me whip her into shape! (To be continued.
