The scene of the "salted squid" hotel came to mind at the right time.

Vanessa began to struggle to squeeze out, and the close proximity to the strange man scared her inexplicably.

Silver Hair thought that the danger had passed, but he didn't expect the little sparrow next to him to turn against the water, and he didn't understand what was happening, so he eagerly reached out to cover Vanessa's mouth, this action reminded Vanessa of the terrible scene that had happened, and struggled even more violently.

"Ahh The silver hair was bitten hard by the princess, and let out a suppressed cry, "Little thing, if you move again, I'll touch it!" ”

"You dare." Reina was already standing on the roof of the tail tower at some point, and was holding his bow and arrow, aiming at the silver hair, "Let go of her." ”

"Ha, as you wish." The silver hair immediately let go of Vanessa and stood under the moonlight.

Vanessa gasped and glared at the silver hair, "I didn't want to shout at all. ”

"Then you're still moving." Silverhair replied angrily. "We were almost discovered."

"I'm just ......" Vanessa suddenly felt aggrieved, she glanced up at Reina, turned and ran down the cabin.

I'm the dividing line*******

Rainer didn't follow, he must have been learning from Silverhair about the captain's scheme.

Vanessa looked at the moon outside and couldn't sleep anyway.

Will you be like this in the future? If I can't get close to a man, then let alone the second son of Sakatani, even the village man won't accept me. I always thought that the tragedy was over, but who knew that it was the beginning of another tragedy. It's okay to be lonely all my life, but I can't borrow soldiers, I'm not even a beggar princess, what about my mother, what about the country of midsummer, and what kind of face do I have to live in this world when I'm useless.

Mother, guide me with your wisdom and let me out of the prison of this shadow.

The princess's prayers didn't work at all, and the cruel images still lingered in her mind, one after the other, Cass the one leg, Eddard the strong man, and Ccliffor, the bunny, smiling lewdly at her, showing their stinking yellow teeth.

No! No! No!

Vanessa waved her arms wildly, her hands hitting the barrel beside her, and it hurt.

Then the princess took a large sip of wine for herself, and leaned under another cask for a few sips of sour cider, followed by the dark beer of Haken Island, and the unnamed ale...... Drink until the sky is dark.

As Reina stepped out of the cabin, he saw the princess vomiting on the largest keg.

Vanessa remembers smiling and beckoning Reina to come over and taste the wine she had given her name, and Reyna kept repeating "I'm sorry" as she cleaned up.

The first night aboard the Happy Harvest was chaotic and wonderful.

When she woke up the next day, it was as if a dragon war had broken out in the princess's head, and the captain forbade them to appear in the cabin after just one glance at her.

Vanessa rubbed her swollen head and was stuffed into the sack pile in the barn, and he took a roll of sacks filled with animal skins and covered her body. It stinks, but the princess feels warm in her heart. She watched Reina's back, watched him go about himself, and a smile crept up her cheeks. It's going to get better, it's going to get better, she said to herself. Suddenly remembering his embarrassment last night, and the fragment of whispering softly in his ear with the power of alcohol, Vanessa hurriedly covered up her inner panic with one or two painful **.

"Reina!" It was a silver-haired voice, "The captain said the deck was handed over to you!" ”

Vanessa and Reina glanced at each other, and the silver hair was already poking her head out of the warehouse, "Why is it so slow!" Slacker! Do you have to get you up myself! With the reason he had made up, the silver hair walked down the barn naturally. The poor staircase creaked and screamed at his feet, shaking off countless tiny gray dust with each step.

"Wow-oh" Silver Hair whistled in surprise when she saw Vanessa in the sack pile, "The little girl is so pretty!" Turning to Reyna, he pointed at him, "The boy has a lot of vision. ”

Vanessa was also looking at the silver-haired man, and found that although he had a playful tone, a decent appearance, a bearded face, and a strong physique, his demeanor revealed confidence and ease that did not match his identity as a sailor.

"Brandt." Silverhair held out his hand, and Reina reached out to shake him, "Reina." ”

"What about you, beautiful young lady." Brant's eyebrows twitched, revealing his trademark muzzled smile.

Fanny

"Fanny?" Brandt was really amused this time, "It's kind of funny." ”

"I'm sorry, I just escaped from the Bacchus feast, please tell me the ins and outs of the matter." Vanessa commanded.

"As you wish," Brandt said with a standard gentlemanly salute, his expression becoming more and more solemn, "Tonight, I guess after the sun goes down, the ship will go to a small island to replenish supplies," Vanessa found that when Brandt frowned and his eyes became serious, he was actually very handsome, "and then we will be sacrificed to a vampire monster called 'Victor', sorry I don't know what he is, only that the merchant ships that travel between the land of Midsummer and the land of wine will present him a pair of young men and women every season." He glanced at Reina, "And it has to be a couple." ”

"But we're not a couple." Reyna argued.

"Of course we are." Vanessa gave the opposite answer.

Brant looked at the two of them, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, "Okay, a crush counts." "If they ask, I'd advise you to do what Fanny says." He pointed to Vanessa, "Because if they find out you're not a couple, they'll just throw you into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

"How do you know these things?" The princess narrowed her eyes.

"I'm your savior, of course I'm here to save you." Brandt grabbed a handful of dried blackberries from a bag, tossed them into his mouth and chewed them twice, "I've been following this for two months, and I know that they are a gang - have you ever met a one-eyed woman selling oysters on the docks?" ”

Vanessa nodded, so it was.

"They sacrifice a little couple to a god in exchange for a whole season."

"And who are you?" The princess asked, "Why do you bother with this?" ”

"Miss, we've only known each other for five minutes, so I don't need to tell you what size shoes I'm wearing."

"Five minutes?" Vanessa found herself arguing with Brant, "Since I saw you hanging yourself upside down on the strings of the boat?" ”

"Not counting the night you spent swimming in the cellar."

"You're a good rapper." Vanessa grimaced, "I wish it was your tongue hanging last night." ”

"Of course, that's what you like," Brantra said to Reina, "you like dumb." ”

"He's not dumb." Vanessa glared at Brant angrily, "It has nothing to do with you who he is. ”

"It's not related." Brandt got serious again, "But I need your help. ”

Reina and Vanessa turned their attention back at the same time.

"I need you to delay as much time as possible on the island," Brandt picked up a stick of wood and drew on the ground, "I've been on this ship for two months, and I've heard them talk about that island, there is a cave on the north side of it, and there is a secret passage like an anthill, and it is difficult for people to get out as long as they go in, and somewhere underground in the center of the island is the hiding place of the monster, I need you to find it, tell me the exact location, I have sent a message to my men, they will come soon, and there are powerful magicians among them, who will destroy the monster in one fell swoop." But until then, don't alarm the monster, because it will make huge waves and prevent enemy ships from coming to shore. ”

"No, we don't." Reina rejected him without even thinking about it.

"I'll protect you in the dark." Brandt took Reina for a coward.

"Then please help me take this ship," Reina refused to give an inch, "and the bad guys will be caught as well." ”

"No, I'm not going to do that."

"Why?" Reina asked.

"Because his goal is to save people," Vanessa didn't move, looking up at Brandt, "didn't you hear him say, that monster only eats couples, he must have an important little lover who was caught by mistake, so he must find the island and save her himself." ”

"It seems that some people are drunk and sober more than others." Brant nodded approvingly at Vanessa and glanced at Reina, "It's a shame you're following him." ”

"I'm just talking nonsense," Vanessa watched Brant's expression, hoping to find out what was wrong with him, but found nothing but the look of Rela when he looked back at him, and finally surrendered, "I'm not sure which of your words is true. ”

"That when I first came in." Brant immediately regained a hippie smile.

Vanessa rolled her eyes feebly, "We can't make an alliance with a liar. ”

"Liars? Hah, maybe I'm number one," Brandt pointed above deck, "but they're really deadly." If you don't get rid of that monster, there will be more couples who will suffer. ”

I have to admit that what Brant said is right, the ship is in the hands of the other party, and the three of them alone can't compete with the thirty sailors on board, and even if they succeed, the captain may not be honest about the location of the island. Therefore, killing Victor is the ultimate solution to the problem.

"Okay, I'll go into the hole with you." After much consideration, Reyna said, "But don't put her at risk." ”

"No way!" Vanessa and Brant spoke in unison.

"It would expose our intentions." Brandt noted.

"Yes, I said the same." Vanessa rarely chimed in.

Reina had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Now, you two," Vanessa began to have a headache again, and she pointed to the two heavy bags of oats in the corner, "carrying them out." ”

Brandt understood the princess's intentions, smiled heartily, picked up the sack and left, Reina looked at the princess worriedly, and said nothing
