Gan curled up his neck, stuck out his tongue, and walked back obediently.
Ella followed Gan for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Um...thank you."
Her original intention was to simply say thank you. Unexpectedly, Hestein heard Ella's voice, turned around and looked at Ella up and down, and his brows gradually furrowed. Ella was startled by Hestein's expression. She quickly imitated Gan's example and shrank her head, and walked back to the camp obediently, not daring to say another word.
"Amy, tell me, what kind of person is Hestein?"
Ella clapped her head like a girl, looking longingly at the empty roof. Seeing Ella like this, Amy made a "pop" sound and squirted out the water she just drank:
"Ahem, cough, sorry, Your Majesty, the last time you asked me like this, he was a very young and handsome knight. In comparison, Hestein is too old..."
"I'm not talking about that! He is old enough to be my father!" Ella blushed and stamped her foot. "I want to ask, after spending so many days in Hestein's army, do you think he is the same as me?" How is it different from the rumors?"
"I think he is as perverted as the rumors! I saw with my own eyes that a female prisoner was sent to his tent every day, every day! And no repetitions! If His Majesty was still a prisoner, he would have been by now... and then in With his swollen lust, I will definitely be targeted too! 'If you are worried about Your Majesty, just take action on her behalf!'...Ah...it's impossible for me to refuse for Your Majesty's sake, right? It's really annoying, He is so strong and so rough, Your Majesty...will I die?"
"But such a person has saved me three times, and I am still unscathed. I am thinking that maybe he is not as bad as the rumors..."
"Stop thinking about it. The boss is just like the rumors. As a woman, you have been in contact with him too many times, which is not good for you or me." Dan walked in with a circle of dark circles under his eyes.
During this month, Dan read the alchemy books in Ella's memory every day, trying to find the secret of the Philosopher's Stone. The more memories he reads, the more obsessed he becomes with the knowledge Ella possesses. But the result of this month's study, in the eyes of outsiders, is that Dan's hair has a few more colors.
"I heard that you were taken out by Gan. Stay away from him in the future! He is protected by Hermes, but he doesn't like thinking and learning at all. He can't understand your value - except for me, here No one understands your worth!”
"I was pulled into the boat by him, and then for some reason, he just chopped up the sea snake by himself... It was a very scary sea snake. I had never seen or heard of it before."
"Are you talking about Baslik? This kind of sea snake only lives in the North Sea. The only people who travel in such remote sea areas are pirates and northern tribes. Of course, the Seven Hills Empire in the center of the continent will not know about it. A.D. Nicander of Crophon, a poet of the Seven Hills in the 2nd century BC, did record this kind of sea snake in his travel book "Denoga". Unfortunately, on the Mediterranean coast, the contents of this book are generally considered to be his literary fictions. .”
Gan put his hand on Ella's forehead, which meant that his study today had begun. If anyone makes a sound while he is reading Ella's memories, he will become extremely furious. So Amy hid aside knowingly.
""Denoga" by Nicander of Clophon? This book seems to be in the Royal Library." Ella thought intentionally or unintentionally. She was having her memory read by Gan. Although she felt a little uncomfortable at first, after a month, she got used to it and felt like she had nothing to do. So, she began to close her eyes and search for memories about this book.
Wang Family Library. Growing up, she spent two-thirds of her time there. For a while, she even lived directly in the library. From an unknown age, the image of the Wang Family Library became extremely concrete in her mind. Now, as long as she thinks a little, the entire library will appear in her imagination, even down to every carving in every corner.
She was now in the Wang family library that she had imagined, with rows of bookshelves and books all within reach. She focused her memory on the notes on the side of the bookcase, and then looked through them row by row, as if she were really walking in the library. Not long after, she found the bookcase with the word "Travel Notes" written on it. She once again focused her memory on the small letters on the shelves in front of the bookcase. There were the names of the authors: Luca, Pliny, Isidore... Finally, she found Crow in a corner of the bookcase. The name of Nikander was abundant. There is only one travel journal of Nicander of Clophon, and it is the "Denoga" that she is looking for.
She pulled "Denoga" out of the bookcase in her memory. Its cover is wrapped in brown paper, and its pages are as dark yellow as dead leaves. Then, she used her memory to open the book and turned to the table of contents at the front of the book. In that series of lists, she found what she was looking for: Sea Serpent-Baslik, page 396.
She recalled the content on page 396 of "Denoga": Baslik, a venomous sea snake that lives in the North Sea. Because of the cockscomb on its head, it is also called "cock snake" by the locals. According to records, the snake originally had wings when it was created, but due to its sins, the gods had its wings removed and could only crawl on its belly. From then on, it was not allowed to live in the sky. The cockatrice is the result of the intercourse between a snake and a chicken on the ground. Because chickens and snakes were originally hostile beasts, the reproduction of offspring goes against the laws of nature, and they have not been allowed to live on the ground since then. Baslik cannot be tolerated in the sky or the earth, so it can only live in the sea. If it is exposed to sunlight, it will turn into blood in a very short time. Its resentment allows its venom to penetrate trees and metal, but its poison decomposes when exposed to light or heat. Therefore, although this snake is extremely venomous, it is not harmful. In addition, the Tepui use Baslik flesh and poison as alchemical ingredients. "
"Philosopher's Stone?" The sudden discovery aroused Ella's interest. She left the bookcase marked "Travel Notes" and let her consciousness wander through the twists and turns of the Wang family library. Finally, she came to a large iron door with eighteen locks - that was the Wang family's library of forbidden arts. All the books on alchemy were kept there. She let her consciousness enter the Forbidden Arts Library, and went straight to the large room where the alchemical documents were stored——
Dan suddenly let out a shrill cry! He removed his hand from Ella's head as if he was electrocuted, then held his head in pain and fell to the ground rolling!
