Chapter 92: Love. Go home
It's time to go home, and the survivors are excited, and Vanessa still doesn't dare to relax when she looks at the land in front of her. When the ship passed through the lightning light curtain, everyone felt a slight tingling in their skin, but nothing happened, they were not transported back to their original space, and the land was still in sight.
"What does this door mean?" Vanessa asked Tertu, afraid she was playing tricks.
"Whoa," said Teertu, pouting at the sea, where there were small fishing boats, which were fleets of fish-catchers at night. When the fishermen on the boat saw the dhow suddenly appearing beside them, they exclaimed, "We are now very real." Teltu straightened nervously, staring at the sea in front of him.
It turned out that Tertu had hidden herself, no wonder no one had ever spotted such a huge sea creature, and I believe that anyone who saw this large sea turtle would have the urge to catch her.
"Full speed ahead!" Vanessa whispered orders to the crew, and Tertu had chosen the wrong landing spot, and when the boats approached to see the turtles behind the lightning gates, her plans were about to be ruined.
"Our boat is too big and not as fast as a small boat. Lower the dinghy and let me and Tertu go around to the stern," Brandt walked over suddenly, without any expression on his face, as if Vanessa were a gray stone tablet, "and we can mix in the fishing boat and go ashore first." ”
Vanessa looked at Tertu, whose frightened eyes were uncertain, and the princess suddenly took pity on the helpless turtle, not knowing what a cruel future awaited her. "I am with you, and the ship is under the command of Inara," said the princess, turning to the prophet in a low voice, "and as long as she can, when we are ashore, we will abandon the ship and flee to the fishing boat." ”
"But you promised Tertu......" Innala looked at the princess in bewilderment.
"Are you going to get more people to suffer on her tortoise shell?" Vanessa interrupted her, "Farewell, my friend. With that, she took the rope ladder and climbed down the string of the boat.
I'm the dividing line*******
The beach at night was not as dark as Vanessa had imagined, and the towering lighthouses were evenly divided along the long coastline, and those towers must have been loaded with numerous archery holes, but now they were not visible under the cover of the night. Turtles always return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs, and it is normal for Tertu to be afraid to go home, and even if she sneaks ashore, she will eventually be spotted by the sentries on the lighthouse, and she will either be shot or captured for exhibition.
"Where is this?" Vanessa shook the oar and asked, "Which country?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't been back for three thousand years." Teltu replied indifferently.
You haven't rolled a sheet for three thousand years, no wonder you're so perverted. Vanessa looked at Brant on the other side, and suddenly felt that she was a little cruel to think so. She remembered the conversation she had with Brant that afternoon, when she asked her to attack her while Tertu was laying eggs, the prince's angry eyes and sudden burst of laughter. "I was wrong, I thought you were a pure and innocent lamb, but it turned out that the innocent one was me! You've been using me, from sleeping with her to killing people, all of which you have planned for a long time! ”
"I'll give you a reasonable explanation for this," Vanessa looked at Brant sternly, trying to ignore his rage, "but she's about to give birth, do you really want the beach to be full of silver-haired baby turtles in a few months!" ”
"Look, this is your trick, you always use ethics to drive me to no return, you always use this trick to get what you want." Brant twisted his hair in pain, "I still want to use love to touch you, hmph, what an out-and-out fool." ”
"Someone has to do it," Vanessa said not to see Brandt, "if you don't go, please don't stop me." I will not let more people fall into the hands of Tertu and live that life is worse than death. ”
"Looks like there's no reason why I shouldn't kill her, doesn't I?" Brant looked up with a wry smile and looked at Vanessa with no more fire in his eyes, "If this is what you want, I will do what you want." ”
The memories are interrupted by a sudden arrow, and they are spotted by the sentries on the lighthouse.
The small ship condensed by Tertu's magic didn't fly any family flags, and the sentinel's arrows were just a warning that if they got any closer, they would shoot at people. The beach was so close at hand, Vanessa's heart shrunk into a ball, and her brain raced to think of what to do.
"There's a reef over there!" Brant pointed to the left front, and the three of them immediately rowed hard as the boat headed towards the reef at breakneck speed.
The moment she climbed the reef, Vanessa finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it felt so good to be grounded. But the crisis is still unresolved, and they have to find a relatively safe space to carry out their plans across the lighthouse-controlled coastline.
Vanessa suddenly thought of the earth amulet that Inara had given herself, a magic that could travel through the soil, and that the person wearing this amulet could sink into the earth at any time as if it were sinking into water, and breathe freely in it. But whether the sand on the beach counts as soil, and Vanessa can't be sure. How do you know without trying, she got up from the reef, pinched the amulet, and plunged into the water.
"Vanessa!" She only had time to hear Brant's shout, and in the blink of an eye, there was chaos all around, and her clothes were soaked with seawater, and they were dripping coldly against her skin. Did I get into the sand? It's magic. Vanessa discovered that the principle of the earth amulet was to separate the sand and dirt around the wearer, creating an equal-fitting confined space for the wearer. Vanessa clenched the talisman and immediately had an idea.
"Wait for me for ten minutes." The princess peeked out of the sand and said to Brandt. Then she dived into the sand again and walked towards the fishing village lined with fishing. Torches, I need torches. Vanessa found a lamp and a small half-bottle of oil in the corner of the nearest house. She turned back to the seashore and poured oil on the palm and coconut trees, igniting them with the flames of the oil lamps. Within ten minutes, the village was filled with the sound of a panicked gong, and the sea breeze was gusting, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it was about to sweep through the entire forest, which was the only barrier between the fishing village and the sea. The fishing boats at sea apparently also saw the flames rising into the sky, and they retreated to put out the fire, and where they landed, Brandt and Teltu blended into the noisy crowd and managed to escape the range of the lighthouse.
"That trick just now was so beautiful." After the three of them converged, Teltu squinted at Vanessa, "Who are you?" ”
"Someone who has nothing to do with you." Vanessa looked around, it was far from the burning woods, opposite another lighthouse, and the most valuable thing was that the beach in front of her was rarely visited, and it was the ideal spawning ground for sea turtles. "You can start, Brandt and I will be by your side."
Teltu glared at the princess and turned away from her in anger, looking for the best place to spawn.
Eventually, she took a fancy to a flat sandy area under a coconut tree. Tertu walked around behind the tree, raised her chin and arms, and her body began to glow with a pink and white light, and then she trembled, and the pink light on her forehead became more and more dazzling, and countless black dots gradually appeared in the bright light, like frog eggs thrown in the reeds, and those black spots gathered on the top of Tertu's head, forming a translucent net.
Vanessa stared anxiously at Teltu's every move, and suddenly found that Brant was gone, did he start acting? He and his sword, please do not turn your back on me at this time.
It was as if God had heard the princess's prayers.
Teltu's ritual came to an abrupt halt in the next heartbeat, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise as she looked at the long sword that burst out of her chest. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter a single syllable.
Decisive and precise, Brant finds the location of her heart and hits it with a single blow.
The light on Tertu's body gradually extinguished, and the flames of hell rose from beneath her feet, devouring the long-lived monster, screaming, her hair on fire, and finally her hands raised in the air and reduced to ashes. The eggs that were not yet fully formed were not nourished by the mother, and they fell to the ground, sadly shriveled up.
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, it was over, it was finally over. Teltu is the spirit of a giant turtle, and with her death, the island of eternal life will cease to exist. No one will lose their lives because of Tertu's greed for life, and no more dead people with their faces smashed will swagger through the market. Those who have died will eventually sleep and rot in the ground, and the living will no longer have to report empty luck.
So what about me, and what did I get.
Brant came out from behind the tree as if he were seriously ill. Now he looked at me with nothing in his eyes, a terrible blank.
I had an upright man murder a mother in childbirth without mercy.
What am I?
I am the devil.
Vanessa silently left the beach, dragging her tired body and mind towards the chaotic fishing village
