Tufts of rope hang from the barrel, creating a curtain-like shadow. The sailors fiddled with the rigging to raise the heavy blood-red sail. There seemed to be more oarsmen than she had on her fingers, but they were mere mortals, vampires without a kindling. The basic qualities of the mysterious races are also different. They are slightly stronger than humans, but they are still far from the lions. I could easily kill them all, Roma thought, and then drift alone in the sea.
In fact, although humans usually call all races other than themselves mysterious races, that is just because of the fragility of humans themselves. The real mysterious race is like fairies or elemental beings. Lighting fire is the process of birth of their lives.
Only the captain is a truly mysterious creature. Originally the first mate was the same, but Roma killed him on Fishtail Island. This unlucky guy was exactly the guy who took an arrow from her and fled back in a hurry. He failed to cover his tracks, leaving the risk of Roma chasing him. The sailboat had to set sail quickly and leave the island. The captain and sailors were so dissatisfied that they threw their fellow man overboard halfway to avoid listening to his wails.
"I only used wooden arrows." Later, Roma whispered to the ring. "Why does he look like he's dying?"
"Do you know that you are an apprentice who spends more time playing hooky than in class? I have serious doubts about your ability to control your magic power』
"Oh." She recalled carefully, but things happened in a hurry, and now she was a little unsure. "I'm quite used to using magic when shooting a bow. As a result, my opponent is always more fragile than the target." Although this is the case, Sauron will always give the most uncomfortable statement. No wonder Roma likes to make excuses for its comments.
No one on the ship realized that an uninvited guest had sneaked in. The sailors did whatever they were supposed to do, and the captain only gave orders. They are all vampires, but they seem to be no different from the crew in the bay. Roma felt no threat from them, and soon she decided to seize the sailing ship and let it return to Tide Sound Castle. But this plan was abandoned when it was first implemented, because Roma suddenly wanted to fill his stomach before taking action.
This was a big ship, but it was obviously not for a good job, otherwise it wouldn't have escaped on Fishtail Island. These vampires sneaked across the strait and headed towards the east. Now it seems that this will be a long journey, so there must be enough supplies on the ship, but the problem is that the diets of lions and vampires have almost no overlap. Windrunner Anchuan once taught her that eating fruits would make her full. He also taught her many useful ways to survive in the wild, but she still had doubts about this. Fortunately, there are people fishing for sea fish, so she only needs to steal them from the kitchen.
Roma had previously speculated that they could drink fish blood to fill their stomachs. But later she discovered that something was wrong: she originally planned to steal one or two of the live fish that had just been caught, and would never pick up the leftovers bitten by vampires. As a result, she bent over and walked around in front of the two baskets of fish. Turn it around, but you can't tell the difference at all.
"Do vampires eat fish?" The little lion scratched his chin and glanced around, looking at the cold stone pot. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell the difference between human-washed utensils and brand-new utensils. "Could they have indigestion?"
"Probably not," Sauron said, "but they still won't have enough to eat. Fish and meat are just fruits to them."
"I guess so." She touched two baskets of fish. Could it be that all vampires dump food scraps into the sea? It's possible, but...Roma saw a wooden barrel in the corner that was larger than the two baskets of fish combined. Only the fish bones and smelly internal organs were left in it, and flies were laying eggs under the slippery scales. In just a moment, she lost all appetite.
Roma thought of the transport ship she had dreamed about in the carriage. Even if the weather is calm, there is almost no chance that she will encounter a vampire ship on the Jinque River. Most of them are fishing boats and small trading houses selling spices and cloth. But the Singing Sea is different. This is the battlefield between the Vampires and the Oath Keepers Alliance. Maybe I will meet a ship that transports supplies to the vampires, maybe I am on that ship.
She scurried up to the top of the cabinet like a big cat, and then the door opened and an old man walked in limping. There were not many hairs on the back of his head, and his skin was covered with spots and scars. His head seemed to be glued directly to his shoulders, and his short and thick neck was not visible. He swayed more as he walked than a boat hit by waves, but he finally made it to the fish basket. Then he carried a basket full of sea fish on his back - it was so laborious and the blood vessels in his forehead were about to burst that Roma couldn't bear to see.
"He is not a vampire." Sauron noticed what she was about to say. The old man didn't know anything. He slowly walked out of the door and turned the door hinge with a creaking sound.
"Bloodborn?" Roma jumped down.
"The Vampires have left the alliance, so naturally they will not give up their race's 'old skills'"
I didn't notice, Roma thought in annoyance. She picked up one raw fish from the remaining basket and stuffed it into her mouth. The lion will sometimes try something new. Anyway, as long as she suppresses her nausea, her stomach can handle it. "Where is he taking the fish?"
"Why don't you follow up and have a look?" Maybe this will make you realize what a poor choice you made boarding this damn junk and stop the barrage of stupid thoughts for a while."
She opened the door quietly and slipped into the shadow of the corridor railing. The fishy smell of fresh fish and the old man's unique decadent sweetness were like bright signboards stuck on the ground. She followed closely and circled the cabin several times. The number of stairs she had descended reminded her of Blumnot.
On the way, Roma saw many vampires - she originally thought these people were vampires who had not ignited the fire. It seems that my observation skills still need to be improved. They were all kinds, young men and mature men, beautiful women and stout ugly women, all looking haggard and dull-eyed. But no matter how you look at them, they are stronger than the old man carrying a basket in the kitchen, and they can move quite freely. However, the two smells were still mixed together, which meant that the latter had just shuffled past their eyes, and no one responded. Her sympathy began to turn into anger: "Why doesn't anyone help him?"
"I thought you were thinking about something," Ring said with sarcasm as usual. "Don't throw your values and compassion into strangers!" The old vampire is of no use and will end up no better than the fish bones you just saw. Anyone who comes to help him is telling the vampire that he should be killed.』
Roma shut her mouth. Her stomach felt knotted, and the fish she had swallowed seemed to come to life.
"In short, the mutual help of vampires is different from ours," Sauron concluded.
"First mate," she whispered, "the captain threw him overboard. Is he a mysterious creature and a bloodborn?"
"That's eighty percent true," Mr. Ring said irrelevantly, "not all blood descendants are worth saving, little Roma, you have to remember this." When Uriel went to Screaming Castle, he met people from the Vampire village on the road. They were the most twisted kind of Vampires, living stones. Even if those people eventually turned into stone statues, they would kill one or two vampires. These guys are different. They have their own rules, among which the iron rule is not to disobey their noble master.』
Roma touched the bow. "What if their masters are all dead?"
“They will cry loudly and hate you to the core. The strong ones will pounce on you with fists and kicks, but women hope to tear your flesh and blood from your body.』
She put her hands down. "Why do I always encounter such pitiful and hateful guys?" The little lion cursed in a low voice, "Why can't these people be simpler and be the same as the songs and stories I have heard?"
"Don't understand yet? Who told you not to live in the story?
"What would happen if Uriel met them?"
"Let me think about it, he might have prayed to Gaia to stop these people before they became vampires, asked the goddess for mercy, and then left them to do their own thing. Naturally, those vampires should be killed when they should be killed.』
So do I pray to Heather? Roma wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. The forest goddess respects life. Do I have to forgive the vampire for the life of the vampire? "He's not that kind of person. Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
"Of course. Kill them all. This is true mercy."
"I'm not an executioner," Roma muttered.
"That's what the White Envoy will do." Even if this is a lot of work,
She couldn't help but shudder as she thought of the cold, pale face of the commander. Roma was fearless most of the time - though mostly out of ignorance - but she was afraid of the White Emissary. Croita's Skylord is the kind of person who can chill you to your bones. What's scary about him is never how many people he has killed or how cruel his methods are, but that you simply can't figure out what he's going to do next. No matter how you do it, he seems to know what you are going to do at any time.
"I can't imagine it," Roma muttered. This kind of kindness is more like cruelty, but Bai Zhizhi gave her the impression of neither, only indifference and coldness.
"Of course, my master is willing to find various excuses to excuse his kindness, but you can trust him." Sauron was still boasting endlessly, and the little lion had followed the scent line to the end. A dirty, ajar hatch, but it was strong, of course it was - for it was made of steel. "I have to remind you, kid, I kind of regret it now."
"I will come even if you don't agree."
