"It's unbelievable! What kind of infatuated woman can interpret that letter as a proposal!"
Ella's howl pierced the quiet night sky. Amy, who was awakened, rubbed her eyes and reminded helplessly: "Your Majesty... this is the eleventh time you woke up shouting this sentence tonight."
"But...but I just can't figure it out! Looking at that lord's attitude towards Hestein, as long as I write something else casually in the letter, even just write "Hunter Mystertain?" Wish you a long life! "The moment he saw Hestein, he would immediately pick up his sword and strike at him! But why did I write the only sentence that could save Hestein! Why on earth is this scumbag so lucky!"
Amy was not fully awake yet, so she squinted her eyes and replied vaguely: "Isn't it good? This way, your majesty will gain more trust from the king of beasts. And he also said that he can promise your majesty a promise when things are done. What are the conditions?"
When Amy said this, Ella's whole body suddenly trembled wildly, and then she stammered and asked Amy:
"Ai...Amy, what were the conditions I proposed at that time?"
"Your Majesty made a random condition in order to paralyze him. I remember that he was asked to take responsibility like an honorable noble and go to His Majesty's house..." At this point, Amy suddenly realized something, and her voice became louder and louder. He came and spoke softer and softer: "Go to your Majesty's house to propose marriage... marry your Majesty as your head wife..."
"Then, I completed the task for Hestein perfectly? Does that mean he thinks that I desperately want him to marry me?"
"Big...probably yes."
"Then Hestein will marry Lily Mistatin in a few days?"
"Um……"
"Then who proposed the marriage?"
"Generally speaking... people think it's His Majesty..."
"That is to say, in their eyes, in order for Hestein to marry me, I took the initiative to help him marry another wife?" Ella grabbed Amy's neck excitedly, "This kind of What is going on? How humble and infatuated a woman can be to do such a thing? I am Baselisa! I am Baselisa who represents the Seven Hills Empire!"
"Ahem... I... am... going to die... Your Majesty... be gentle... be gentle..."
Ella released her grip on Amy's neck and said angrily:
"He must be killed!"
"Ahem...Your Majesty...Ahem...Your Majesty, this was your original plan, right?"
"I mean, we can't wait any longer! We must kill him within these two days! Amy, how about we poison him?"
"Your Majesty has poison in your hands?"
"No... although you can collect simple poisonous weeds, poisons of this level are easily detoxified. There are not many opportunities to poison. You have to find something that is very poisonous..."
"Then your Majesty, please work hard to prepare the poison. I will go to sleep again..."
"Can't sleep!" Ella grabbed Amy's shoulders and shook her hard, "This is related to my life-long event! Let me figure it out together!"
Amy said with a sad face: "But Your Majesty, we can't beat him. We have poisoned him and there is no poison. What else can we do?"
"No... there is a kind of poison." Ella suddenly thought of something, "It is a product of nature, no complicated formula is needed, and it is very easy to collect here."
Amy's body trembled again: "Did your Majesty mean that kind of... sea snake?"
"Yes, it's Baslik's venom! Amy, come with me!"
Ella pulled Amy, who was obsessed with sleeping, to her feet and ran towards the distant seaside.
——Baslik is attracted to the smell of blood.
Ella cuts her hand and drops the blood into the sea.
-Baslik are repelled by the scent of certain herbs.
Ella handed the collected herbs to Amy and asked her to wait from a distance.
The smell of blood indeed attracted a small group of Basliks. Ella nervously held a shield in front of her. After a while, a Baslik jumped up and hit Ella's shield. Ella quickly signaled Amy to come closer. They scattered herbs on the beach and in the sea to drive away the excess basiliks, and for the one that came up, Ella yelled and smashed it to death with her shield.
——Baslik's venom penetrates metal and wood, and corrodes human or animal skin at an abnormal rate.
After a while, venom seeped out from under the shield. Ella and Amy grabbed the edge of the shield that had not been stained with venom, turned it over, and dripped the venom into a crystal cup - it was one of the trophies Hestein had plundered from the Seven Hills Empire. It had been thrown carelessly on the ship.
Ella was not sure whether Baslik's venom could penetrate the crystal, so for safety's sake, she protected the crystal cup with oil paper, and then placed it on a ceramic bowl. In this way, the poison is obtained.
Then just find a way to avoid the sun, and then drip the venom onto Hestein, and you're done!
Just when Ella wanted to cheer, Amy suddenly covered her mouth and pushed her to the ground - in the distance, a black figure was approaching here. Ella quickly understood what Amy meant and held her breath.
The black shadow gradually came closer, and he could clearly see that it was Lily Mistertin. Her eyes were still covered with the black cloth, and no one was following her. Unlike her previous strides when surrounded by crowds, she now looked very strenuous when walking, and her path was crooked. She was indeed an invisible person.
"moon."
Lily Mistertin slowly raised her hand and pointed in one direction. There was indeed a waxing moon there, but she was pointing slightly away from it.
Then, she slowly lowered her hand and pointed in another direction:
"High mountains."
That is the center of the island and the highest point of the island. But the direction her hand was pointing still deviated from the mountain.
Then, she turned her body 180 degrees and pointed to the sea:
"sea"
This time there was no deviation at all, because the sea was wide enough. But her body is not facing the coastline, but is tilted.
"Sure enough, I can't see anything." Ella thought to herself, and at the same time she was glad that the person who came was Lily Mistertin. There was no place to hide on the bare beach. If someone else had come closer, they would have been discovered by now. If they were seen collecting Basilik's venom, the conspiracy would be exposed in advance.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Lily Mistertin continuing to turn her body. Under the nervous gazes of Ella and Amy, she pointed her face in the direction where they were hiding without any deviation!
"Hey, people over there." She shouted to Ella and Amy, "Did I point to the wrong place just now?"
The sudden question made Ella's heart beat like a galloping horse. She and Amy exchanged glances and decided to keep the status quo for now.
After waiting for a while and not hearing any response, Lily Mistertin asked doubtfully:
"The two people over there? Why don't you answer me? My eyes are blindfolded and I can't see. So can you tell me, did I just point out the wrong way?"
Although she said "I can't see anything," she used the number "two people" with great confidence. This time, Ella and Amy couldn't stay any longer. But Lily Mistertin's performance just now did not seem like she could see things, so Ella silently muttered "It's just a bluff, it's just a bluff..." to comfort herself.
However, after receiving no reply to the two questions, Lily Mistertin suddenly exuded a murderous intent:
"Why are you hiding there so secretly? What are you doing there so late?"
Before she finished speaking, she had already pulled out the sword tied to her waist with a clang and pointed it directly in the direction of Ella and Amy.
"Don't think that because I can't see things, I will lose to you."
Amy couldn't sit still anymore and was about to run away. This time it was Ella who held her down - Ella had already learned from the pirates that this Lily Mistertin was stronger than Bjorn. If she wanted to catch them, they would never be able to escape.
And running away means that there is something wrong in your heart, and the situation will turn into the worst case scenario.
Ella tried her best to keep her expression as relaxed as possible, preparing to jump out and say hello in a big way. At the same time, she was searching for an explanation for the current situation.
But just as she was about to stand up, two women's voices suddenly came from the distance:
"Miss Mistertin, why did you come here? Everyone is looking for you. It's late at night and there are not many people. Miss Mistertin can't see. Once she deviates from the direction, she will fall into the sea. You didn’t even know it! If the Sword Master finds out, you will be punished again.”
Lily shook her sword and made a clear voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Please help me see what the people over there are doing."
The two women in white who were approaching glanced perfunctorily in Ella's direction and replied:
"Where is there anyone? It's so late. Miss Mistertin doesn't even know how to lie to others."
"But, maybe it's an enemy..."
"Even if there are 10,000 enemies, Master Sword Master will deal with them personally. Miss, you don't have to worry about them at all."
After hearing this, Lily put the sword back hesitantly and said with some grievance: "Because I am going to get married to Hestein soon, I just want to complete my cultivation as soon as possible..."
"That has to be during the day. Miss Mistertin can't see anything. It's so dangerous to be alone at night."
The two women whispered to Lily Mistertin and took her back.
The crisis was over, but Ella's heart was still beating fast. She turned to look at Amy and asked half to herself:
"Can she see at all?"
But Amy suddenly screamed and pointed at the pottery bowl in Ella's hand: "Your Majesty...it's dripping!"
Ella lowered her head and saw that Baslik's poison had actually penetrated the crystal cup, oil paper and ceramic bowl in that period of time, and dripped all the way to the ground. There were also some toxins along the edge of the ceramic bowl, from bottom to top. Her hand holding the clay bowl came closer. Ella shook her hand in fright, and the entire pottery bowl fell to the ground, and the venom she had worked so hard to collect was instantly scattered.
