"Ouch...give it, give it!"
Schliemann was so annoyed that he quickly unbuttoned his shirt.
Vida took the jet black vest and rubbed his hand on it.
"The ingredients are very average..."
"A knife can't pierce it, it can't scratch it, and a gun can't penetrate it."
Schliemann was fastening the buttons while introducing the vest. Next to him, Ampton had a look of pain on his face.
"Okay, I can barely make sense."
Vida threw it away casually, and her vest was thrown into the pile of debris in the corner.
"The crows will follow the things you touch and eventually find me...
Don't worry, I will completely destroy that heir, and it will never bother you again.
Next, you will stay here for a while, and I will prepare some materials to help you lift the curse and wash away the traces of your touch on the flying ship.
That way we can prevent the crows from bypassing me and going directly to you. "
Schliemann suddenly realized that if he could completely get rid of the annoying guys from the Primus Cult, the deal would be worthwhile.
"Ah...since you know how to divine, can you help us divine where the Brilliant Heart is?"
Vader glanced at Ampton and laughed.
She stood up and walked to Ampton, stretched out a finger and poked Ampton's chest, then moved downwards with a charming smile on her face.
"Little Sun, witches' divination is never free..."
Ampton was scratching his head. For the first time, he felt that he was no different from ordinary people. Schliemann also had an invulnerable vest as a bargaining chip, but it seemed that the only thing he could give was his own body.
"Just tell me, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you."
Vida's hands had already penetrated into Apton's shirt, and the strong muscles made her smile even more.
"What do you think? It's so obvious and you still can't understand?"
Apton looked at Schlieman with an embarrassed look. Not only Schlieman, but all three of them looked surprised.
They knew exactly what the look in Apton's eyes meant, which meant that he was not opposed to this transaction.
The three of them walked out of the cave and sat down against the rock wall.
Schliemann had a look of regret on his face. He knew that Ampton had a crush on Selu. Although that crush wasn't that strong, it had already sprouted.
If Selu agrees to such a request, I'm afraid Selu's understanding of Apton will forever be fixed on a label of casual temperament.
She is not Vivian, who has been with the royal family since childhood. She will not understand the sacrifices the king has made for the throne.
Selu lowered her head, hugging her knees with her hands and curling up next to Schlieman. She didn't think about anything about Apton at all. All she could think about now was that Schlieman paid the price for her to cleanse the curse.
She held it in for a long time, and finally said "thank you" that only she could hear.
The three of them were sitting side by side, with Mersin being the closest to the cave. At this time, she seemed to be lowering her head and playing with the grass on the ground, but in fact, her entire attention was on her erect ears.
The sound of gasping coming from the cave made her yearn for it. As the saying goes, what you haven't eaten may not be the most delicious, but it must be the most greedy for you.
Before half an hour was over, Schliemann couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to walk along the river at the bottom of the rift valley. Selu quickly got up and followed him.
Mersin, after some ideological struggle, chose to pretend to sleep.
"Captain...thank you."
"What?"
"Thank you for forgiving me."
Schliemann scratched his head and said: "As I said, you didn't have any actual impact on my schedule. You really helped the crow. At most, you only let it get the remains of the ancient god. It will be destroyed by then. It's your world.
By the time the people from Premus collect the remains, I will have returned to my own world long ago. You will have to bear the consequences of what you did. "
"Oh...what happened to me at that time? How could I be so stupid? If only I had some brains..."
"Okay, okay, that thing is confusing you and influencing you. It was not you who made the judgment at that time, but your desire..."
"But I still feel so stupid..."
"Selu, don't blame your past self...
The name of a witch cut off her future, and all her relatives and loved ones became her past. She was standing in the rain, how helpless she felt! "
Schliemann's words dragged Sellu back to the thunderstorm mud pit. She seemed to see her helplessness and struggle when she fell in the mud.
She wanted to go over and give the poor girl a hug.
When she reached out to the girl whose face was covered with tears, rain, and mud, her hand penetrated the girl's shoulder.
Selu cried and howled because she felt the coldness from the other person's body.
Then, there was a warmth on her shoulders. She raised her teary eyes and saw Schliemann's stubbled face.
"Cry, cry, and don't forget to apologize to yourself after crying."
Selu dove into Schliemann's arms, hugged her tightly, and cried.
After more than ten minutes, Selu had cried enough. Schliemann looked at the shape of the facial features that had been cried out on the shirt and laughed twice.
"You cry harder than my sister..."
Selu sniffed and stretched out her hand to wipe Schliemann's shirt, as if to wipe away the tears, snot, and saliva on it.
"Okay, have you apologized to yourself?"
Selu nodded and followed Schlieman shyly back.
Ampton had been waiting outside the cave for a long time. Seeing Selu's eyes red from crying, his heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly had the urge to explain, but he couldn't explain what he had just done.
"Little Selu, Mersin, follow your sister to prepare the materials to remove the curse."
Selu looked at Schlieman, who laughed dryly: "Look at what I'm doing, go ahead... Wait a minute, she's a witch, you learn more from her, and you can't figure out those things that you usually don't understand." Ask her, she likes you very much and will probably teach you."
Selu nodded, took the basket thrown by Vader and walked away.
The two gentlemen were in a daze by the campfire, neither of them willing to start a conversation.
Schliemann smoked his pipe, and Apton polished his king's sword.
In the end, it was Ampton who surrendered.
"Schliemann, is Selu crying like that because she was angry because of me... or something?"
Schliemann rolled his eyes, held the power pendant in his hand, and said, "Here, ask again."
The meaning was obvious, and Apton understood it. Schliemann was worried that he would not accept the answer, so he deliberately took out the pendant.
"Isn't it...Then why is she crying like that?"
The pendant took effect, and Schliemann's pious expression was indescribably weird.
"She was thanking me for providing her with the price to cleanse the curse, and then I said..."
Schliemann described almost exactly what happened by the river just now, which made Apton very uneasy.
"Ah, did she say anything else?"
Schliemann raised the hand holding the pendant, indicating that he was still under the influence of the pendant.
"No."
