In a cave in Lujiao Mountain, a girl wearing a gray cloth hood woke up from her sleep. She grabbed a dagger and looked around warily, and met the eyes of a squirrel at the entrance of the cave.
She breathed a sigh of relief, threw a stone, and the squirrel jumped and disappeared from her sight.
Next to her, there was a wooden box with a primitive texture. The dried soil covered its relief, making it look dirty.
"Leave you here? Why? You promised that you would resurrect him!"
The girl suddenly stood up and looked at the box hysterically.
"Speak! Why don't you speak! If you don't speak, I will throw you into the fire!"
She grabbed the wooden box and held it over the dying campfire.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you."
The sudden sound was like miasma rising from the swamp, misty and misty.
The girl took the wooden box back and tucked it under her arm. She held the dagger in her other hand and looked at the hole warily.
"Who? Come out!"
A crow stopped at the entrance of the cave. It alternately looked at the situation inside the cave with its left and right eyes and murmured to itself.
"It's very convenient that there is no barrier, and you can enter and leave the island freely...
Girl, I'm here to take over that box, your mission has changed! "
"It promised me! It promised! It means what it says! No, no one can take it away from me!"
As the girl spoke, she threw away the wooden box and stepped on it. She took out the sling with her free hand and threw the stone cleanly.
The stone flew towards the crow but missed, as if an invisible hand pushed the stone as it flew.
"Take your feet off! Otherwise, I will tie you to a stone pillar and let you watch your lover suffer after being resurrected.
I will dig open his chest over and over again, dig out his heart, put it in front of you, and then pierce the squirming little guy with a rusty nail, letting his blood splash on your face.
I want his wailing to run through every minute and every second of the rest of your endless life! "
The girl was in a trance, and the hellish scene appeared in her mind. She couldn't tell whether it was a moment or several years later.
In this trance, the lover was tortured over and over again, and the screams continued without interruption.
She couldn't bear to look at him, but she couldn't even change her gaze. She could only watch her lover die and be resurrected over and over again.
Suddenly, this terrifying reincarnation ended, and she found herself squatting on the ground, and the crow had walked in front of her.
"Do you want this to happen?"
The girl stepped back on her hands and knees, her face full of fear, and she didn't even know the dagger fell to the ground.
"God Primus has always been kind, and he has not punished you for your disrespect this time.
Go, get on that flying ship! Carry out your mission! When you return, your lover will be waiting for you here. "
"Really? Are you sure?"
The girl crawled back on her hands and feet, with pious eyes. She stretched out her hands that were dyed black, palms upward, and slowly pressed her forehead to the ground.
"Very good……"
There were more than a dozen tenant farmers and soldiers on the flying ship. They were working hard to learn the working essentials of different positions. The whole ship was filled with the sound of footsteps and voices, which made Schlieman frown.
Apton couldn't figure out what Schliemann was thinking. He couldn't stay in the quiet hotel and had to go back to the swinging bed in the Crescent.
The supplies were placed in the prepared large net and collected by the crane extended by the Crescent.
The more people we have, the better. The work that usually takes two to three hours can now be completed in one hour.
New glass has been installed on the bridge. Its light transmittance is not as good as the original glass, but it is much better than nothing.
Ram looked at everything full of novelty excitedly, rubbing his hands back and forth, obviously trying his best to exercise restraint.
In his opinion, the knowledge taught by Hillpeter is very simple. What he needs to do now is to understand and remember. As for mastering them, that will happen later. He must take advantage of Schliemann and his party to learn as much as possible. Learn more.
Schliemann found a place far away from the hustle and bustle, ready to tie up a hammock and have a good rest.
But something like a hammock requires more than a quiet environment. The most important thing is to have two trees at a suitable distance. Obviously, the thick trees in Lujiao Mountain are not suitable for the placement of hammocks.
Schliemann scratched his head, but he refused to admit that Ampton was right in saying that he should rest in a hotel.
He struggled all afternoon but could only squint for about an hour. Either the hammock was uncomfortable, or a crow came to sit on top of his head and croaked.
In the end, he gave up the fight with nature and returned to the Crescent's camp angrily.
Ampton had left here long ago and returned to the hotel in Antler City.
According to his words, people must relax and give themselves a proper vacation.
Even though Schliemann was hit by reality, he still frowned and didn't take it seriously.
He believes that as long as he is prepared at all times, the bad things that fate throws at him can be perfectly avoided.
However, he still underestimated fate, or the threat that was always watching him from the shadows.
Selu appeared in front of Schliemann who was reading a book.
Schliemann raised his eyelids boredly and stretched out a hand.
Selu threw a money bag over, and Schliemann grabbed it, opened it and took a look.
"Two missing..."
"Hey! I only used one. If you don't believe me, you can count!"
Schliemann curled his lips: "I don't dare, what if it's poisonous... I've seen Scott's death before."
"I have no grudge against you."
Schliemann tucked the money bag around his waist, put down the book, and saw the black hands exposed by Selu who was holding his shoulders.
"What happened to your hand?"
Selu stretched out her five fingers and shook them. The hands above the wrists were black and purple.
"When making the poison, we used some special berries. Unexpectedly, the color of the berry juice could not be washed away at all and penetrated into the skin."
Schliemann was stunned for a moment. He was frightened by Selu's fierceness.
"Why can't I kill you with no medicine?"
"The berries are called goat shit and are harmless when used alone. Everyone in Antler City knows that."
"Ah? Then how did you know it can be used to prepare poison?"
"Hey, I'm a witch! Everyone in this Antler City knows it."
Schliemann rolled his eyes, raised his book and continued reading.
He didn't believe that Sai Lu came here just to pay back the money bag, so he decided to be a dull gourd and not accept the move.
Selu didn't say anything. She sat down on the ground next to Schliemann, took out bottles and cans from her bag and started tinkering.
Those dangerous-looking liquids mixed back and forth, sometimes emitting a fragrance, sometimes emitting a sour smell, and sometimes simply banging, emitting a cloud of strangely colored smoke.
Schliemann couldn't stand it anymore. He was worried that he would either be poisoned by Selu or exploded by Selu.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
