I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 285 - 194: Trickster Water Demon (2-in-1)

[If you find the right method, you can easily deal with them.]

Upon hearing this, Rogel furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a tinge of caution in his heart.

The game has already provided a lot of information.

Facing this fellow before him, he must handle with care. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I am the most enthusiastic guide in the strait, always keen to show the way to guests who have lost their direction."

"So, you can call me the Guiding Angel!"

The Trickster Water Demon wore a smile so fake it was obvious at a glance.

A Guiding Angel?

"..."

Everyone: (ー_ー:)

You look like a bad egg! At least hide those Demon horns on your head if you're going to fool us!

But the Trickster Water Demon acted as if it hadn't noticed their skeptical gazes, continuing to smile broadly.

"Now, there are only two paths ahead of you. Just complete a small transaction with me, and I'll tell you information about these two paths!"

"So, what do you think? Want to consider it?"

"Strike while the iron's hot~"

The Trickster Water Demon twisted its body, raised an eyebrow, and said.

Looking at its appearance.

Everyone aboard the Gelin immediately backed up into a huddle and began discussing quietly.

"This is clearly a Demon; its words definitely can't be trusted."

"Yes! It's best not to make any deals; it'll surely be dangerous."

"Why don't we just turn back? I feel something's wrong with both paths…"

The last remark was made by Noemi.

After a brief discussion, Rogel decided to listen to what the Trickster Water Demon had to say first and asked, "Tell us about your deal."

Upon hearing Rogel's words, the Trickster Water Demon immediately beamed.

"The terms of the deal are simple."

"I'll ask you three insignificant questions, and you just need to answer truthfully."

"After answering, I'll tell you the information about the two paths ahead."

"How does that sound, quite a bargain, right?"

The Trickster Water Demon chuckled cheekily.

Upon hearing this, Rogel immediately frowned, feeling something was amiss.

Beside him, Noemi asked somewhat confusedly: "Why do you need to ask three questions for two paths?"

Noemi thought simply, two paths for two questions.

Quickly, the Trickster Water Demon's smile froze.

But it quickly recovered, coughed to cover up its embarrassment, and said, "Then two questions will do, I'll give you… a discount…"

Noemi's remark and the Trickster Water Demon's reaction immediately alerted Rogel.

There's something fishy; this guy seems to be deliberately hiding information.

Just as Rogel was pondering, a voice echoed in his mind.

"Both paths ahead are wrong; there's a third path behind you."

"In this strait, your forward and backward direction changes every moment, so turning back doesn't mean returning."

Months later, Uvie Muzhe's deep voice resounded, concisely revealing the truth to Rogel.

"The power of rules here allows it to ask up to three questions, because these correspond to the three pieces of information it must reveal to you."

Though turned into a block of black stone, Uvie Muzhe seemed to constantly grasp the bigger picture.

"However, if you don't ask, it doesn't have to tell."

"This is its cunning nature."

"It's subtly hinting at a false message: that you can only take the two paths ahead."

"Thus, it can guide you to other roads and achieve its goal."

After hearing this, Rogel wasn't just shocked at its awakening, and his almost connected thought process suddenly cleared.

No wonder the Trickster Water Demon wanted to ask three questions but only gave information on two paths, ignoring the "directly behind" path.

Indeed, ordinary folks wouldn't think of this at all.

Given that, when faced with a fork in the road, normal thinking would lead you to choose left or right, never considering turning back.

Truly sinister.

Yet, before he could respond, Uvie Muzhe spoke again.

"But, you can also choose to hear the information it offers. The two paths ahead aren't absolutely dead ends."

"Then I'd have to answer its questions?" Rogel asked in his mind, not speaking aloud, as he didn't want the Trickster Water Demon opposite to hear.

Thankfully, Uvie Muzhe could hear: "Yes, the choice is yours."

"If you don't want to listen, you can turn back directly; what it doesn't want you to take is the path behind."

After listening, Rogel pondered for two seconds before asking: "Do you have a way to deal with this guy?"

Uvie Muzhe quickly responded: "I can lead you away."

Upon hearing its response, Rogel felt much relieved.

At this moment, the Trickster Water Demon facing them appeared somewhat impatient and asked again: "How's the consideration going? Will you accept my trading terms?"

"Alright." Rogel nodded, "Go ahead and ask."

Originally, he didn't want to return to the strait entrance and waste time, but now that Uvie Muzhe had awakened, he no longer had concerns.

Let's see what exactly this guy is hiding.

Upon hearing Rogel's reply, the Trickster Water Demon's eyes brightened.

"Good!"

It clapped with excitement and flew up to Rogel.

"The first question is for you to answer…"

With a sly grin, it tilted its forehead back in a dramatic pose, pointing a finger at Rogel.

"Your…"

"…favorite part of the opposite gender?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rogel's mouth twitched.

What kind of ridiculous question is this!

Before he could finish speaking, the Trickster Water Demon spoke up again, laughing wickedly: "You can't lie, otherwise… keke…"

It laughed weirdly, raising its palms.

Then, out of its hands appeared several small boats, each the size of ants.

Undoubtedly, these boats likely met their end in its grasp.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing it, several crew members beside him coughed awkwardly, their eyes wandering.

"..."

Such a question could be rather embarrassing.

Yet, Rogel's face was quite thick.

He responded with a straight face: "…Legs."

Upon hearing this, Lina and others on the ship couldn't help but glance down.

"No, no, no." The Trickster Water Demon shook its finger: "Be more specific."

"…Thighs!"

"Still not precise enough!"

"Don't push it too far!"

"Keke, you're the one who wanted to answer, I didn't force you."

"…Well-proportioned, moderate-length, fair-skinned long legs!"

At this, the ship fell silent for a moment.

Mira and Noemi instinctively cast envious glances at Lina, nearby.

Upon seeing this, Lina immediately tugged her hemline to cover her thighs, blushing deeply.

"Hey, why are you all looking at me?"

"..."

Rogel didn't feel embarrassed.

What's wrong with being obsessed with legs?

I, Rogel, walk straight and do what's right!

Being able to exchange for information isn't a loss.

"Keke!"

The Trickster Water Demon let out a sinister chuckle.

"Young man, interesting taste, truly a pervert."

"…How is this perverted? Don't you have a particular favorite too?"

Rogel retorted.

Upon hearing this, the Trickster Water Demon stroked its chin and furrowed its brow in thought for a moment: "Makes sense, just like I fancy armpits, now I understand you…"

"..."

????

The crew all leaned back in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

You're clearly even more of a pervert!

"Hey hey hey! What's with those looks! Armpits are clearly a very sexy part, alright! You bunch of clueless bumpkins!"

Seeing their expressions, the Trickster Water Demon got somewhat furious, as this group actually thought its tastes were perverted?

"You! Yes, you!"

The Trickster Water Demon pointed in anger at Yas, his gaze full of disdain and shock earlier was irritating.

"You'll answer the next question!"

"Huh? Me?" Yas pointed to himself, a bit bewildered.

Why did he suddenly provoke this armpit-loving maniac?

"Exactly! You!" The Trickster Water Demon was very angry: "You're still looking at me with those eyes!"

"The next two questions will be answered by you!"

Yas: "???"
