Sleepless all night!
In the exquisite and luxurious cabin, the terrified little Joad didn''t even dare to blink more. His room was brightly lit all night. He wanted to light a hundred candles and fluorite lamps!
Curled up on the bed, facing the already sealed doors and windows and the trap behind the door, little Yod still has no sense of security with a sharp blade and crossbow in his arms.
Maybe as long as I close my eyes and open them again... The devil appears in front of me, smiles, politely puts out his right hand with a sharp blade, and then
Cut your throat with a knife!
He spent the whole night trembling and found that he was still alive. Little Joad, whose eyes were red, carefully clenched his sword and opened the door.
Then... He saw a scene that he would never forget!
The captain of the warship, who was always a submissive officer, stood motionless outside his door, bowed his head and carried his hands behind him, and his clothes and armor were well dressed.
Of course, it was not because he was still alive or how respectful he was to himself - but because a sharp sword ran through his torso and arms and nailed him to the cabin wall with a crossbow pierced his neck!
That haggard face, almost staring eyes, and a tongue sticking out of his mouth
Little Joad jerked his throat and his teeth trembled; Just turned and walked to the other end of the cabin. Before reaching the stairs, there was a strong smell of blood.
The cabin below... Is where sailors and soldiers rest.
Struggling with the stench, he walked down the stairs step by step with inexplicable panic; After two steps, he slipped and almost fell directly into the cabin below.
Is it water?
Yes, even warships occasionally leak water. It''s normal that the deck of a ship is wet and slippery; It''s really... Hahaha... It''s really
A smile barely appeared on his frightened face, but when little Joad lowered his head, the only smile solidified in the corner of his mouth.
It''s blood... It''s blood soaked all over the cabin!
Bulkheads, hammocks, windows, ceilings... All visible places were dyed dark red. Muddy liquid like pus dripping from the hammock and ceiling hit little Yod''s face and clothes.
Bending down, his frightened face was reflected in the stream like blood, and he could see some strange things floating on the "water surface", shaking with the rising "water wave".
It''s not something strange;
Little Joad himself had killed people, and he knew it all.
It''s bones, broken meat and tendons, internal organs falling out of the trunk, human heads, eyes, broken limbs, falling out of the skull cavity
"Ah, ah, ah --!!!"
After a moment of shock, the tension and fear that had been suppressed all night burst in an instant; Little Joad, tearing his clothes, knelt down in a pool of blood and roared like crazy!
"Ah ah ah... Ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
After the sharp roar, he laughed wildly and got up from the pool of blood. He rushed out of the cabin from the staircase and ran to the deck outside the warship.
The dawn pierces the darkness, and the water mist on the gem river turns into morning dew, crystal clear; The bright light in the sun is so dazzling that people can''t look directly at it.
Standing at the exit of the deck, little Joad was stunned, as if there were two worlds in front of him and behind him; I was just in a dream, and now I''m awake.
"Are you awake?"
The gentle voice made little Joad look up... The black haired wizard leaning against the mast was sitting cross legged on the deck, and his pale face smiled at himself:
"I just heard a cry in the cabin. I thought you had a nightmare."
Little Joad opened his mouth, but he didn''t know what to say. Lolen, with a smile on her lips, was wiping the knife in her hand with a piece of linen; The bright blade is like a mirror, shining in the sun.
He lowered his head and raised his hands tremblingly; On the sticky palm, the gaps between the fingers are still full of dark red blood like pus, which is dazzling and shocking.
Really... It''s all true.
Don''t continue to deceive yourself and others. It''s not a dream at all... There is no living creature on this warship except yourself and the madman in front of you!
The sailors on the ship, the officers and soldiers under governor Byrne, as well as his followers and confidants... All of them are left. This guy has turned them into meat in blood!
All night, more than a hundred people on a ship didn''t even make a sound, not even a person who noticed something wrong... He slaughtered them all!
At this moment, little Joad finally understood why he was so obediently caught by himself - I''m afraid in this madman''s plan, even this is just a means to deceive his trust.
Little Joad, with a dull expression and empty eyes, walked numbly to Loren.
Madman... Yes, this is a madman. He''s not human at all!
"What''s the problem?" the black haired wizard frowned slightly and threw away the bloody linen in his hand. "Although I have solved the living on this ship, this is the gem River... If we continue to delay, we will be found."
"Take what you need as soon as possible. We have to abandon the ship and go ashore as soon as possible. If there''s nothing wrong..."
"There''s one more thing."
"Hmm? Didn''t I say what I need to get as soon as possible, and then we..."
"Loren Turin! Don''t pretend to be stupid!"
Little Joad, who nearly collapsed, couldn''t bear it. He jumped up and grabbed the black haired wizard''s collar. His expression was convulsed and distorted to the extreme: "let you go, break with the family, betray the chamber of Commerce... I did everything you asked me to do, and now I have no way out!"
"Don''t forget what else you promised me - something that would make the nine pointed star wizard tower afraid to touch my stuff? Until you get it... Even if you die together, I''ll never let you leave the ship half a step!"
Die together... Looking at little Yod''s desperate and hysterical threat, Loren just wanted to sneer.
Why did he die with himself?
At this stage, the initiative has long been out of his hands... Now even if Loren leaves him alone, the heir of the Yod chamber of Commerce who has lost everything can''t hurt half his hair.
Of course, there are some things that both sides can know clearly without breaking... Besides, they still need him to live.
Slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and the black haired wizard suddenly grabbed his right hand; Little Joad, who had not yet reacted, was surprised. He felt a sharp cold in his right hand and flowed into his head along his arm.
"Uh, ah --!!!"
The scream tore his heart and lungs. Little Joad''s eyes turned white. He was convulsing violently from his arm to his whole body, as if the whole person was about to crack!
"Bang --!"
The expressionless Loren released his hand, and little Yod, convulsed all over, collapsed to the ground. Sweating, he clung to his right hand. A strange black mark suddenly appeared on his originally empty wrist.
"Do you want to kill me?!"
"If I kill you, how could I want to kill you?" Lauren shook his head and sighed. "This is what I said - of course, I moved a little; I can roughly confirm where you are and whether you are still alive within a certain range, just to ensure that in case."
"This..." trembling, he raised his right hand and collapsed to the ground. Little Joad stared at the mark on his wrist: "what the hell is this?"
"A thing that all wizards dream of and even kill for... It is also something that all priests and oath Knights of the Holy Cross want to get rid of."
"With it, the corona family and wizard tower will never have the slightest doubt about your sincerity; of course, similarly... If you are discovered by the people of the Holy Cross Church, you should not come to a good end."
With his hands on his back, Lauren''s face wore a meaningful smile:
"It is... The nine pointed star Holy Grail!"
