Luo Yan let out a long sigh of relief and gave an order to Potter, who acknowledged it and immediately went to relay Luo Yan's command.
The battlefield had already been cleared, with only the area around Luo Yan remaining untouched. After Luo Yan took a light blue translucent scale extracted from the giant Sea Kings and the burning heart left after the rusty knife shattered, there was nothing else left. However, Mite and Luo Ta still cut a lot of meat from the Sea Kings for food over the next few days.
The ship resumed its journey, and after Luo Yan drank another healing potion, he returned to his cabin and went to sleep.
This was not only because he had just gone through a major battle and was injured, needing rest, but also because Xia Tali's tranquilizer had a significant effect.
"Xia Tali, there should be quite a few magical items in this suitcase, right? We never get a chance to see them. How about you open the suitcase and let us feast our eyes on them this time?"
Luo Yan had returned to his room too hastily, even forgetting to take the suitcase back from Xia Tali. Thus, Xia Tali, who returned to the ship with the suitcase, was egged on by Luo Ta.
As the crew member least afraid of the captain, Luo Ta had no qualms about peeking at the magical items in the suitcase to satisfy his curiosity.
Mite, standing nearby, also became interested and quickly leaned in.
"Yeah, the captain didn't say we couldn't look, anyway. We just want to see, absolutely won't touch. What do you think?"
Mite looked like he enjoyed a good show, not caring about the trouble. Because the suppression of higher-level Tyrant Pathway practitioners over lower-level ones was quite strong, Mite was usually the most afraid of Luo Yan on the ship. Without Luo Ta taking the lead, he would never dare to incite such a thing.
But since Luo Ta had already taken the lead, even if Luo Yan got angry later, he would only go after Luo Ta first.
Xia Tali frowned slightly, a little displeased. She had originally planned to immediately put the suitcase back in Luo Yan's room and then go to sleep herself.
Firstly, it was still daytime, and after she became a Vampire, her biological clock had unconsciously changed. She now slept during the day and was active at night, which also provided a bit more security for the ship's nighttime voyages.
Secondly, she had been affected by Luo Yan's singing earlier, and her mind was now somewhat fatigued.
But suddenly, Xia Tali thought of something. Her furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and a faint smile even appeared on her face.
"Alright, since you want to see them, I'll let you. In fact, not only can you look, you can also hold them in your hands and examine them carefully. But each item can only be held for a maximum of one minute. After all, I don't know the negative effects of these items, and holding them for too long might cause problems."
"Great! Hurry, hurry, open it!"
Luo Ta impatiently rubbed his hands, wishing he could just grab the suitcase himself.
Xia Tali said no more and directly unlatched the suitcase. As soon as the box was opened, Luo Ta and Mite's eyes immediately fixed on the mirror with charred marks. Although they hadn't seen the other items either, only this mirror had charring, making it clearly the most prominent.
Seeing this, the smile on Xia Tali's face deepened.
"I'm telling you, you weren't there at the time, so you didn't see it. This mirror played a crucial role in killing that Sea Kings. I don't know what method the captain used, but he hit the mirror with a Thunder Strike, and as a result, that Sea Kings was struck by Thunder Strike all over its body and was severely wounded. So this mirror must be very powerful!"
"Oh! No wonder this mirror is all black, so it was hit by Thunder Strike. Can I pick up this mirror and look at it?"
Luo Ta, the least astute of the three, was predictably guided by Xia Tali and developed a strong interest in the mirror.
This was intentionally guided by Xia Tali, so she naturally wouldn't refuse and nodded very straightforwardly.
"Of course you can, didn't I just say so?"
"Okay, then I'll take a look."
Luo Ta was not polite and directly reached out to take the mirror into his hand. But just as he picked up the mirror, in less than three seconds, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his complexion turned red and then white.
"No, no!"
Luo Ta, as if stimulated by something, threw away the mirror and quickly retreated. This action left Mite, who was standing beside him, very confused, not understanding what had happened. Not to mention him, even Xia Tali was a little surprised.
She actually only wanted to use the mirror to make Luo Ta have inappropriate fantasies, so that later, when Luo Ta provoked her, she could use this to retaliate. She hadn't expected his reaction to be so strong.
"What's wrong with you?"
The first to ask this question was not Xia Tali, but Mite.
As he spoke, he unconsciously took a small step towards Luo Ta. Seeing this, Luo Ta became even more agitated.
"Stop! You stop right there! I'm warning you! Don't come any closer, or else, or else I'll punch you!"
"What on earth is wrong with you?"
Mite was completely bewildered, while Xia Tali seemed to understand something, and her gaze towards the two suddenly became strange.
"It seems you're no longer interested in the other things, so I'll return the box to the captain's room."
Xia Tali quickly withdrew her gaze, bent down, and picked up the mirror. With the mirror in her hand, she also experienced some fantasies, but having had experience once before and being mentally prepared, she did not show the slightest abnormality. She very normally put the mirror back into the box and finally latched the box.
In the following days, the atmosphere between Luo Ta and Mite became somewhat strange. Even Luo Yan noticed it, but when Luo Yan asked, neither of them answered.
One was equally bewildered, and the other remained silent. Only Xia Tali was secretly smiling, and whenever Luo Yan asked Xia Tali, Luo Ta would loudly interrupt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, making the atmosphere even more peculiar.
However, fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long; after a few days, it passed without anyone mentioning it anymore... "Captain! Sabaody Archipelago is in sight!"
"Lookout" Potter flew down from the mast and landed on the small table next to Luo Yan's lounge chair.
Luo Yan pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes, which he used as an eye mask, stood up, and looked ahead. Indeed, just as Potter had seen, ahead was the Sabaody Archipelago, with very large trees and many bubbles rising.
"Finally, we're here, Sabaody Archipelago! Lads! Head over, prepare to land!"
Luo Yan immediately shouted loudly, but no one responded. Mite was in the cockpit, which had basically become Mite's room now. He had even made a makeshift bed in the cockpit. Once the route was fixed, he would usually sleep in the cockpit.
As for Luo Ta, ever since the mirror incident, he had suddenly become very obedient to Xia Tali. He basically did whatever Xia Tali said. He was currently assisting Little Golden Monkey in caring for the plants on the lowest deck of the ship.
