Two days later, the savage woke up, but his spirit seemed to be greatly affected. He would often sit in the same place for a whole day, silently like a stone statue. When you talk to him, his answers are always inconsistent. Once any issues related to the ritual were mentioned to him, he would immediately panic, hold his head, dig a hole in the ground and bury his head in. No matter how hard others tried, they could not pull him out.
Ella asked the ship's doctor to treat him, but the ship's doctor suggested an exorcism ceremony. The procedure was to tie up the savage and whip him hard with a whip, threatening the devil to leave.
Naturally, this proposal was rejected by Ella.
The Aztlan witch doctors also came to join in the fun. After checking the savage's condition, they immediately ran to the river to take a bath, and then ran back. They didn't use any medicine, but just danced around the savage and played with it for a long time. , until Tesosomok drank it——
"How do you get the confidence to practice medicine in front of the envoy of Quetzalcoatl? The envoy is at your wits' end. Are you just here to make a fool of yourself?"
Ella was a little surprised. Through insinuations, she learned that in Aztlan, disease was seen as the displeasure or wrath of the gods, and the effect of herbs was only to relieve the patient's pain and would be invalidated by the will of the gods. Therefore, doctors must pray, fast, and offer sacrifices when treating illnesses to seek the gods' forgiveness. And if God wants someone to suffer death by fire, no amount of herbs will matter.
——No wonder Ella, who can cure the Black Death, is considered a messenger of God.
The doctors on both sides were unable to do anything. In this case, it was impossible for the savage to perform the ritual again.
Fortunately, the island has been moving westward steadily in the following days without any disturbance.
The Flying Zealander was still stranded on the beach, but no one cared. Traveling to Aztlan on an autonomous island is much less labor-intensive than operating a ship. The boat has been resting on the shore, which is just enough to kill the sea insects on the bottom of the boat.
According to the original plan, the island was to build a castle and develop wasteland to form a long-term stronghold. But after experiencing the rise and fall of the island, and after discussion by the staff group, this plan was abandoned. Building a city on such a monster is still too risky. Just like the staff used by Quelaqiri to tame Mowaranuga, once it was accidentally pulled out, Movaraniga lost control.
There is no need to sail or build. Such days are really too leisurely, and the pirates have to find various other things to do.
Among the staff members, Hjalmar, who was a Guardsman, has a keen interest in hot air balloons. After obtaining Ella's permission, he moved all the hot-air balloons on the Flying Zealander to the wilderness and began to conduct various flight training for the soldiers: the first content was air-thrown objects, Yarmard Use dyed stones to replace the fire of the ocean, and draw circles of targets on the ground, allowing the pirates to accurately throw the stones into the targets as they fly over in the hot air balloon; the second content is aerial reconnaissance, on the hot air balloon The pirates need to find as many soldiers lurking on the ground as possible to improve their ability to collect intelligence on the ground; the third item has nothing to do with the hot air balloon, it is called long-distance running, the distance is variable, and it may change to swimming or rock climbing depending on the situation - —After all, the balloon’s course is not entirely under the soldier’s control.
The training was very fruitful. When Ella went to review, the pirates floated over her head in a hot air balloon, and the stones they threw down made a crooked "V" shape on the ground.
Ulf, who was born in the academy, is interested in the "tank". This is an unfinished experiment by the graduates of the academy. It is surrounded by an iron sheet and has a copper bear head that breathes fire. It relies on pedals to drive the wheels in the iron sheet forward. When Ella went to Britain to rescue Alfred, she thought it might be useful. She kept it on the ship and never took it out again. After all, its shortcomings were also obvious: small turning range, weak structure, and no way to brake.
Ulf studied this thing for more than half a month, and finally added a braking device to this thing. As long as a certain lever is pulled, a horizontal bar will be inserted into the middle of the spokes with a "click" to stop the wheel. Keep turning forward.
Ulf excitedly showed the results of her improvements to the principal Ella. He waved his hand, rode away on the tank with the three pirates, and then came back carrying an unknown part of the tank with his face bruised and bruised.
"As soon as the brakes were pressed, the tank rolled forward, and we were thrown out of our seats." Ulf complained, rubbing the bruises on his mouth and face, "It's really strange. What went wrong?"
"The stones thrown vertically from the hot air balloon will continue to fly forward after leaving the hot air balloon, and the sail dropped by the moving ship will fall directly under the mast. The wheels of your 'tank' stopped, and the car above If your body hasn't stopped, it will be thrown out, right?" Ella said, "It should be much better if you install this device on the rear wheel."
"What a strange thing. Isn't the car body driven by wheels? The wheels have stopped, but the car body is still moving forward?" Ulf scratched his head and muttered to himself before leaving Ella.
Estrade, who was a general, applied to Ella to hold a competition, giving generous rewards to the team that set up the most trebuchets on the coast in the shortest time.
"Why are you setting up a trebuchet on the coast?" Ella asked, "Hasn't it been decided not to build fortifications on this island?"
"We don't need defensive fortifications, but we still need offensive fortifications," Estrade said. "Set up a circle of trebuchets along the edge of this movable island. They are no more powerful than those installed on the flying Sealander." a lot of?"
Ella immediately nodded in agreement and set up a new award to be awarded to the team that made the most powerful trebuchet.
As for Daxter, who was born as a gangster... he has been spending time in the entertainment room of the Flying Zealander gambling with the people of Aztlan and Lübeck. According to the news brought by Amy, he even lost his sword.
In short, with the movable island of Mavaraniga, the second half of the journey was much more comfortable than the first half. Time passed quietly like this, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful, until——
"The food is finished!"
Ella's wails echoed across the island.
For an army of nearly two thousand people, food in the wild is really limited. And the food Ella brought from Sweden was almost finished.
"Your Majesty, we haven't finished eating yet!" Amy ran over in a panic holding a pile of bread. "Look, we also have black bread with delicious tree bark in it! There is also vegetable soup, made from the ground. The weeds burned..."
"I want to eat meat! Meat!"
"But there are no large-scale fauna on the island, and the only ones still running in the wilderness are the hot-air balloon troops..."
"Then eat the birds! Catch the birds and eat them!" Ella rushed out of the tent and pointed at a few seagulls flying in the sky and said, "I want to eat these seagulls tonight!"
Amy looked embarrassed:
"Seagulls can't be smashed down with trebuchets. How about I let the hot-air balloon force try...wait a minute, seagulls?"
There are many birds that live on the island of Movaraniga, but there are no seagulls among them.
Ella also reacted:
"Where is the lookout? What is the lookout doing - ah, by the way, this is not on the ship. Amy, get my Eye of Hermes!"
Leaving these words behind, Ella ran towards the top of the mountain excitedly.
