Chapter 72: Dagger
This question couldn't even be answered by Tang Yinbrown, and he fell into silence for a while.
"What race he is and where he came from, I can only investigate it later." In the end, Tang Yinhong spoke, "But judging from the spell he used tonight, it must be inseparable from the demon, if so, it can be determined that I misjudged his identity before......"
"What identity?"
Tang Yinbrown thought about it, listened to Ah Zi's question, and then looked at her and said: "Originally, we repelled the pirate ship and captured their captain alive, I always felt that this victory came much easier than I imagined, and coupled with the instructions from the imperial court to let us abandon the sea route, I once suspected that this so-called well-armed enemy ship might be just a bureau set up by someone in the imperial court, and these pirates just got the news that was deliberately spread from the palace, and they became a pawn of others in a daze." ”
This was an explanation, but Ah Zi was even more confused: "The imperial court ...... Miyanaka ...... Layout? What does that mean? Aren't these pirates mortal enemies of the Imperial Court? How can it be involved? ”
Seeing Ah Zi's serious look, Tang Yinbrown just smiled and said, "There are too many things involved here, and I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while." However, there is one thing, if this person is related to the witch, he must not be related to King Xin, judging from the way King Xin does things, he will definitely not use a person related to the witch, even if this person may not know that he is being used. ”
Although he still didn't know anything about it, with his intuition, Ah Zi guessed one thing: "On the deck just now, you didn't let Ah Zhong continue to chase and kill the captain of the pirate ship, not because you were sure that he wouldn't live long, but because you deliberately wanted to let him live, right?" ”
didn't expect Ah Zi to suddenly say such a thing, Tang Yinbrown raised his eyebrows and looked at Ah Zi, paused, and laughed, "I didn't expect that in the end, my mind still couldn't escape your eyes." ”
"Why let him go?"
Ah Zi asked, although she was subconsciously glad that he had escaped after learning that the man was related to the witch, she also understood that Ah Brown was taking the risk of being punished when he returned to the court by letting go of a pirate like this.
Tang Yinbrown just smiled and didn't answer.
Although he has been under King Xin and Old Man Tang for so many years, although he has long been familiar with the 'Demon Hunting Order' and the attitude towards witches in the court and palace, in his bones, it is still difficult for him to regard witches as demagogic and hostile creatures like others, and even any trace of information related to witches brings him not vigilance and vigilance, but sympathy and compassion.
This is why although he now has the surname "Tang" and is reused on the surface, it is difficult for him to really become the confidant of the Tang family and King Xin.
But of course he wouldn't tell Ah Zi about this, so he just smiled, got up and urged: "It's not too early, I have to go ashore from Xiyou tomorrow, go and rest." ”
Of course, Ah Zi was still unsatisfied, but he couldn't resist Tang Yinbrown's insistence, so he had to go back to the room in a daze.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Bao'er catching up.
"How? Are you okay? I've heard from a couple of crew members that you've been frightened by the fleeing pirates, hallucinating, and sane a little out of order? Bao'er said, looking at Ah Zi incessantly.
Although she said it bluntly, Ah Zi knew that she was really worried about herself, but she still shook her head helplessly and said, "Aren't I okay?" What kind of insanity, it is that those crew members are not calm at all when they encounter accidents, and they can't listen to the information I tell them, and in the end they almost delay the major event of arresting the fugitives. ”
"What's going on? Tell me about it. Bao'er was interested when she heard this, and pulled Ah Zi to her room.
Ah Zi gave a rough overview of the previous ins and outs, only omitting the part where the pirate ship captain was involved with the witch - her intuition made her feel that this matter was best kept between herself and Ah Brown.
"So, the captain of the pirate ship was actually just hiding in some dark corner of that dense room, and only after the eldest brother and the others left did he find an opportunity to escape?" Bao'er said, squinted her eyes and nodded, and said meaningfully: "It's a good golden cicada to come out of its shell, and it's a shame that he can think of it." ”
It seems that Bao'er accepted her own statement, and Ah Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way," before Ah Zi could slow down, Bao'er pulled her back and said, "You just said that you used a dagger to attack the captain of the pirate ship?" How did you have a dagger? I usually see you looking soft and weak, but I didn't expect to be very calm and calm when encountering a situation, and your courage is also outstanding. ”
Being praised by Bao'er like this, Ah Zi blushed, took out the master's dagger from his waist, and handed it to Bao'er: "This is the dagger that my master used to cut off the only vine ladder leading to the outside world in order to save my life before my master was killed." I've been hiding it on my body, just wanting to keep a thought, like Master's spirit in the sky can bless me at all times, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy. ”
Bao'er held the dagger about a foot long, and she could see it.
"This dagger...... Was it left by your master? Bao'er studied it carefully for a long time before she looked up and said.
Ah Zi nodded vigorously and said, "I have occasionally seen him take it out in the Medicine Immortal Valley before, and he always carried it with him when he was alive. Is there anything wrong with this dagger? ”
"No," Bao'er shook her head, "I just think it's strange, how can your master have something like a witch?" This is something that even the Higashihara royal family can hardly find. ”
"This is a witch thing?" Hearing this, Ah Zi's eyes widened and he pointed at the dagger, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, you see." Bao'er said, sent the dagger to Ah Zi's eyes, and pointed to the pattern on the handle of the dagger: "The texture of this luodian is very fine, and it can be carved with such a pattern, and its craftsmanship is exquisite, which is definitely not a level that we ordinary humans can achieve." So it must be from the hands of a witch. ”
Ah Zi took the dagger and stared carefully at the lines on the handle, only to find that the patterns in it were actually one by one, and the place that I thought was already a trivial matter was actually carved out of it with a more detailed pattern.
As for the tiniest patterns, it is a little difficult to look at Ah Zi's eyesight, and ordinary humans can't see it clearly at all, let alone carve it out.
Bao'er said: "It's like the pattern inside those petals, we can't see it clearly with our naked eyes, but if my guess is true, it should be carved with the picture of the Sacred Heart Niangniang." ”
