The old woman who sat not far from us, I already knew her name, her name was Gbanny.

Gurbani knows who I am, and I know who Sarah is.

When I first met her, there was an old man beside her, and that old man was her partner, named Puyuji.

In fact, Gbani is a well-known figure, from the island nation of Benham in the southeast of the world.

Benham has a world-famous college, Cedric College, and Glebani is a professor at Cedric College.

Gbanni's specialty is to promote plant growth, and she specializes in many kinds of spells related to plants.

In addition, she has extensive knowledge in pharmacy and nutrition.

Born in West Phernicia, the kingdom of Benham, Gabbani is a native of Benham and believes in the teachings of the Druwen.

Professor Puyugi was a few years older than her, and the old man was severely bald, with a hooked nose and a bit of buckteeth.

Puyugi was born in Gattut in the kingdom of Seles, and when he was a teenager, his family moved to the kingdom of Benham.

He was also a well-known scholar who excelled in promoting the reproduction of living things.

Puyugi is also a professor at Cedric College and has known Glebanny for 30 years.

Five years ago, Gabbani was a six-month visiting scholar at Grup Theological Seminary.

On her way back, she was attacked by pirates and eventually kidnapped.

After hearing the news, Puyuji went to the rescue, but was unsuccessful, but was also kidnapped.

Later, they were held on the island for more than three years.

After Sara left, Gurbani asked me to get some rest.

I followed her advice.

The next day, I was much better, my throat was not very uncomfortable, and more importantly, the swelling of the thing had subsided, and it didn't hurt anymore when I touched it.

Phugi came to me and took over from Gabbani.

Glebani went elsewhere to rest.

Phujügi opened the window and started smoking the pipe.

I smelled the smoke and coughed.

Reluctantly, Puyuji extinguished his pipe.

He looked bored, leaning on the windowsill and looking out.

I asked him if he could see the sea.

He snorted, in reply.

These days, I spend time and night with Gébanny, but we talk very little.

Phuyuji rarely comes, and when he comes, he rarely speaks and sits silently.

When I asked them, they all hummed and behaved quite cautiously.

After a while, Phugi went to the door and came back to close the window with a smile on his face.

He said to me, "The banshees are busy today and can't take care of us, so it's easier." ”

It was the first time in these days that he had smiled and spoken in full.

I was happy and laughed.

Pu Yuji smiled, and his buckteeth were more prominent.

He said, "You've been locked up here for ten days, aren't you stuffy?"

I said boring, of course boring.

He said, "We've been locked up here for 1,238 days, which is much longer than you. ”

He said, "York has been here for a long time. I met him this morning, and we talked about it, and he has been here for five hundred and forty-two days. ”

I asked, "What is this place?"

He told me that it was an island in the Lucobar archipelago called "Caitland".

When I heard the name "Caitland", it felt a little familiar.

I remembered that there was a Goblin Dryad named Socker, who once said that there was a flower growing on this island, called "Celestial Flower", and its pollen could completely remove the poison from Margaret.

I got excited and asked Phuj, is this really the island of Ketteland?

Puyugi said of course it is, how can it be fake?

I said, "So there is a flower here, called 'Tianluo Flower'?"

Puyuji casually took out a bunch of rhizomes of plants from the medicine basket next to him and said to me, "This is the root of 'Tianluohua'." Your illness can be improved thanks to its antidote power. ”

I grabbed the fifty-centimeter-long object with my hand, and felt heavy.

I asked, "Do you have any pollen from the 'Tianluo'?"

"It's the season for flowers to bloom, and if you don't have a lot of pollen, you need as much as you want." ”

When I heard this, I was very happy for Margaret. But she's not here, so how can I get enough pollen for her, and how can I bring it to her?

Seeing me looking out the window, in a daze, Puyuji asked me, "What do you want pollen for?"

I said that a friend was poisoned and needed pollen to detoxify.

He said, "It's not easy, for Mr. Gurbani has dried it in the sun, and it weighs thirty tafts, enough for you to heal your friend." ”

A taft is a unit of weight here, and one taft is roughly equivalent to three kilograms.

"The pollen was saved by Mr. Glebani and me. Can your friend come?"

I said I don't know, maybe she doesn't know I'm here right now.

Puyuji shook his head and said, "This place is very conspicuous on the map, but it is very difficult for humans to find it, only the banshees can easily find it. ”

I asked him why?

Phudge told me that there are only fifteen days of the year when it is possible to reach the archipelago by boat, and these fifteen days are uncertain.

He said it was the combination of strong monsoons and various currents that made it difficult for ships to spot and land.

It is for this reason that it has become a haven for banshee breeding.

He lowered his voice and asked me, do you know any special way of breeding for banshees?

I said I don't know, wasn't the banshee pregnant and born in October?

Of course not, Puyuji said, banshees only have females, no males, which is very abnormal, if it is according to the way of human reproduction, it should be half male and female.

I asked, why are there no males, don't banshees have fathers?

Puyugi told me that in the normal way of reproduction, insemination is required to form a fertilized egg and then give birth to a normal fetus, and the banshee's egg is not inseminated, and the one that hatches is the Siddiga banshee, and the one who can be inseminated and hatched is the Lucy banshee.

Hearing him say this, I understood a little, but more doubts came out.

I asked, who will inseminate them?

Puyugi said that the sources of protein are quite extensive, and as long as it is the protein of healthy men, the banshees are almost crazy obsession, and this obsession stems from their special biological habits.

They will regard men's protein liquid as a panacea, and the amount of men's protein liquid they have drunk has become the standard for evaluating their status, and it is also their capital to show off.

Strange to say, the more the banshees drink protein liquid, the longer their lifespan is indeed beneficial.

Puyugi told me that the average lifespan of Lucy, who drank protein liquid regularly, was more than half longer than that of Siddiga Banshee, who occasionally and never drank protein liquid, with Lucy's average lifespan being ninety-seven years compared to Siddiga's fifty-nine years.

He said that the figures he quoted about the banshees, most of which he had calculated with precision, were very reliable figures.

He said that Lucy's body temperature was slightly higher than that of Sidhiga, and he had measurements and statistics, and it was on average one sixteenth higher.

As he spoke, he took out something that curved like a cow's horn and told me that it was an instrument for measuring the temperature of the mouth, that he had made it himself, and that he had used it to take the temperature of one hundred and fifty-two Siddiga Banshees and eighty-five Lucy Banshees.

Looking at the old man's serious appearance, I understood his attitude towards persistent research.

If I hadn't asked Gurbani what he was and knew anything about his origins, I might have suspected that he would be the Banshee's health doctor.

I asked him if Lucy was more human-like than Sierra Banshee, because one was fertilized and the other was not.

I looked at him, hoping for an affirmative answer.

Because I listened intently to what he said, and what he said was interesting to me, I thought I understood, and deliberately asked this question just to confess to him how thoroughly I understood.

I looked at his bald face like a schoolboy eager to be praised.

However, unexpectedly, he shook his head and said that people nowadays, when they quote names indiscriminately, they must not pay attention to the strict definition of titles.

He told me that the Banshee of Sierra was the name of the Banshee of ancient times, and nowadays, the Banshee of Sierra can be recognized as extinct, and there are only two types of Banshee, that is, Lucy Banshee and Siddiga Banshee.

The Siddiga Banshee is a transitional species between the ancient Sierra Banshee and the modern Lucy Banshee, a flawed, incomplete, or rather degraded species.

In the ancient world, there were males and females, and their mode of reproduction was oviparous, and the mode of incubation was male incubation.

Later, after the rise of human beings, they gradually ruled the world.

Under the influence of humans, the Sierra demon has undergone a great mutation.

As a result of killing and pillage, they have fewer and fewer males and fewer eggs that can be fertilized.

After the eggs of the Sierra demons mutated, they became parthenogenesis, so that only the females appeared.

This was the beginning of the early Sidhiğa Banshees.

Later, the breed of banshees was modified by people with ulterior motives.

Banshee's eggs can be fertilized, but the source of protein is human males.

From that time on, the more human-like Lucy Banshee was born.

Therefore, calling the Siddiga Banshee as the Banshee of Sierra is obviously a sign of lack of knowledge.

Pu Yuji looked at me, which reminded me of my junior high school days, when I used to hand in the wrong answers, and the physics teacher looked at me, the same gaze, with a sense of criticism.

I asked him, you haven't told me yet, who exactly fertilized the banshee's eggs?

Phuji nodded, his gaze softened, apparently he was beginning to think of me as an inquisitive student.

In the early days, he said, there were probably people with ulterior motives, some mages or wizards, and later, after the banshees flourished, they would rob passing ships, kidnap fishermen or sailors.

Now, though, it's the pirates who feed them protein liquid.

I was taken aback and blurted out that it turned out to be a pirate!

Phujügi was startled and told me to keep my voice quiet, if the pirates on the island heard it, they would do anything crazy.

I finally understood why there were pirate ships anchored here, and the pirate leader Billichal was here.

The reason turned out to be that Lucy Banshee and pirates colluded with each other and used each other!

Later, I learned that the god who transformed the Banshee was the "Pirate King" Tarifli hundreds of years ago, and the "World Brotherhood" he founded once ruled the world's oceans.
