Winchester was not peaceful that night. Ella's soldiers held shovels, hammers and other tools, pushing temporarily requisitioned cars, and ran from the east to the west of the city, working all night long.
When Aphrodite rose in the sky, the "things" that Ella had told her were also delivered. About a hundred soldiers escorted five carriages, each carriage carrying six water tanks thicker than the waist, a total of thirty. Each water tank was heavily weighted down by heavy wooden blocks, making it impossible to see what was inside. When the carriage passed by, people could only hear the sound of water sloshing inside.
The next day, people saw a simple altar appearing in a corner of the city. The lower part of the altar is made of soil, and the upper part is a wooden frame structure. Although it is simple, relying on the support of the wooden frame, it rises to a height of four stories, which is higher than most houses in Winchester City. They are all much taller and can be seen from a distance.
With dark circles under her eyes, Ella looked left and right at the altar, always feeling that it was missing a bit of atmosphere.
"Kill some chickens and sheep," Ella said, "and pour the blood on them."
So the pirates brought pots of sheep's blood and chicken's blood and splashed it on the four walls of the altar until it became dripping with blood. When ordinary soil and wood are stained with blood, they suddenly become a little scary, but they also take on a somewhat mysterious color.
"The priests of the Tianfang Empire are very educated and moral, but the priests of the Pirate Kingdom and Aztlan are very rough, and their rituals are often bloody. Holiness and fear are two completely opposite things, but they are both divine. What are the characteristics..."
Ella shook her head, which was groggy from staying up late. The "stage" layout was finally completed within the first day, but she couldn't rest until Baslik's condition was confirmed.
But before she entered Dan's house, a little girl's scream came from the house. The little silver-haired girl named Ravi ran out of the missing wall in a panic. She was holding a small brush in her left hand and a small bucket in her right hand. Her nose and face were covered with golden paint. coating.
"Look at the good work you did!"
Dan angrily rushed out with a broom, chasing after Ravi and slapping him like a cockroach. Ravi screamed and dodged, and the paint in the bucket kept spilling out, leaving pools of shiny gold on the ground.
Dan chased Ravi for a short distance. When he looked up and saw Ella, he hurriedly stopped and stood still. Ravi also ran behind Ella as if he saw a savior, grabbed Ella's legs, and poked half of his head out from behind Ella.
Ella's sleepiness was driven away like this.
"Dan, what are you doing?" Ella asked, "Where is the work I gave you? Have you finished it?"
"King of Sweden, you came just in time!" Dan stamped his foot, "Everything has been messed up by the little guy, come and take a look!"
Ella took a few steps in Dan's direction, and through the damaged wall, she saw Basilik, who was hovering and resting in the house. Its two pairs of wings have turned green under the influence of the drug. Although it is not as bright as the Kechar bird's feathers, it is within Ella's expectation. What was beyond her expectation was that Baslik's body - the scales all over his body turned golden yellow, the same color as the dye in Ravi's bucket.
"It took me a long time yesterday to get Baslik to listen to my words and calm down. After drinking the potion, the wings turned green smoothly. However, King of Sweden, you are so good at predicting things. The feathers on the wings really turned green. It smells like barbecue..."
Dan described what happened to Ella.
"Fortunately, I deodorized the King of Sweden's hair not long ago, and I have all the relevant formulas in my mind. I prepared the medicine according to the formula, gave Baslik to drink it, and waited for the medicine to take effect and confirm that there is no smell of barbecue. It was already very late. I really didn’t have time to repair the wall. I thought that with such a big snake guarding the door, no thieves would come, so I went to the bedroom to sleep... Result, result...! "
Speaking of this, Dan's voice suddenly became several times louder. He pointed at Ravi behind Ella and said angrily:
"In the end, this little thing actually ran into my room while I was sleeping. When I got up, she was lying on the Baslik painting the scales! Now, King of Sweden, all your plans are ruined. King of Sweden, please step aside and let me pat her with the broom to relieve your anger!"
"What! I saw you coloring its wings, so I came here!" Ravi shouted behind Ella, "You are an alchemist, and I am also an alchemist. You can use your alchemy If I use my alchemy to make him green, am I not allowed to use my alchemy to make him gold?"
"You...you haven't even weaned yourself yet, what kind of alchemist are you!" Dan's hand holding the broom was shaking, "I painted it green because the King of Sweden wanted this color, aren't you just making trouble by painting it gold? ?”
According to Bjorn's description of the ears, Quetzalcoatl is a snake whose body is covered with quetzal bird feathers. In other words, it is bright green all over. The green color dyed by Dan's medicine was originally different from the feathers of the Kechar bird. Now that the body has turned golden, it is almost different from what Bjorn described.
Ella frowned and stared at the sleeping Basilik for a long time.
"I have never seen it so quiet. Ravi, if you get close to it, does it not attack you?"
"It was originally a snake created by alchemy, but the owner who called it out was not around. I turned it back into a stick and called it out again soon!"
Ravi's words shocked Ella and Dan. She looked at Ravi up and down again, but no matter how she looked, she was just a little girl of seven or eight years old.
"You are talking nonsense there again!" Dan scolded angrily, "Do you know how much knowledge of alchemy is needed to call this snake out?"
Ella tentatively picked up a stone and threw it towards the sleeping Baslik. The snake that destroyed half of Dan's house was unable to block the pebble, and suddenly turned into a crowbar again.
"It seems that it was indeed Ravi who called it out." Ella said, "Dan, the snake you called out was not that weak."
"Of course I called you out! I'm a genius alchemist, Ravi!"
Ravi seemed to want to prove himself. He ran out from behind Ella's legs, grabbed the crowbar, and threw it to the ground. Basilik appeared in the room again.
Ella noticed that the paint on Baslik's scales was not ordinary gold. It had a unique metallic luster and looked exactly like gold.
"Ravi, you dye...?"
"I made it myself, for dyeing metal!"
"It's not easy, Ravi." Ella patted her head, "When you grow up, you will become a very great alchemist."
"It's awesome." Dan muttered from the side, "But what we wanted was green, and now it's turned into gold. Isn't this a delay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shock suddenly came over. Ella felt her body swaying slightly, and there was an obvious vibration on the entire ground.
Dan and Ravi were so frightened that they both fell to the ground and hugged their heads: "There was an earthquake...?"
"No, it's Izcoatl."
Ella turned her attention to the direction where the vibration came from - the dungeon where Tesosomok was imprisoned. Then, a smile appeared on her face:
"So I said hurry up. Look, he came much earlier than I expected."
