67. The secret of the Kraken
Caterina and I changed into normal clothes, walked through an alley, and then turned around and returned to the magic caravan.
At this time, the old Gubolay horse was a little frightened and gouged its front hooves, causing a jolt on the magic caravan, and the coachman waved his whip vigorously to quiet the Gubolai horse, and the coachman whispered an apology to us in the carriage, and I told the coachman that he did not mind, and then motioned for him to get out of the place.
The coachman let go of the hand brake on the magic caravan, and the Gubolema gasped and ran wildly on the stone street with the magic caravan in a restless manner, but fortunately at night, there was no one on the street, the speed of the magic caravan was very fast, and a group of knights of the guard regiment passed by the magic caravan, and the knights were on their horses, yawning, and while sorting out their clothes, they checked the weapons they carried, and no one felt the need to check our magic caravan.
Along the way, many of the island's residents came out of their houses and asked each other what was going on, and the streets became chaotic.
"Master Jijia, what's going on up ahead, have you found your friend?" Rita finally couldn't help it, sat in the car, and asked me about what was happening outside.
I looked up at her, smiled slightly, and said to her, "The magic caravan that my friend was riding in disappeared after a few turns in the alley ahead, and we searched for a long time, but we didn't see it. ”
Rita rolled her eyes, looked annoyed, and said to me, "I knew this, you should have taken me there, I am very familiar with this area, there is a market around here, and it is very lively during the day." ”
I didn't want to weave this lie any longer, so I didn't continue to talk about it.
Ying Li sat opposite, "Do you want to continue looking for it tomorrow?"
I scratched my head, I didn't expect to travel all the way to Dunai Island, where no one knew anything about the Kraken, just like the Kraken had never appeared on the Vasiqi plane.
However, I still believe that the Kraken must have appeared on Dunai Island, because it was the Dean of the Royal Academy of Magic who told me the news.
I frowned and said, "...... Well, maybe we can think differently and ask the old people who have lived on Dunai Island for most of their lives!"
Ying Li asked Rita who was sitting next to him, "Rita, do you have any old wisdom here?"
Rita was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... I can start by asking, I know a very old man, but he is not a wise man. ”
When girls chat, there is always some common language.
Along the way, I tried to remember what he said to me in the study after the summer feast.
The eyes of the dean who fell into the memory, the mysterious magic chart, these are the reasons that led me to Dunai Island, I must have overlooked something, I said to myself silently.
After Rita got her share of the payment, she decided that it was impossible for me to develop further with her, and with a look of disappointment on her face, she got off the bus halfway.
Before getting out of the car, Rita told me that her home was in the front block, which was obviously not a civilian residential area, with neat streets, lined with houses lined up one after another, some with lights on, and it looked like people who could live here, not like the kind of poor people who were worried about food.
We agreed to meet tomorrow in front of the gate of the manor-style inn, and she jumped out of the carriage and stood on the side of the road, smiling and waving goodbye to us.
"Why do you think she's doing this?" I pulled open the window and looked out into the street at the back of the car, where there was no one else in the car and my sitting posture became casual.
"What?" Win Li probably didn't hear my question.
I had to repeat: "I mean, I don't understand why she should be a guide who can provide special services to guests!"
Ying Li began to make fun of me: "Why, don't you think she is delicate and cute, and I like her a little." ”
I reached out and pressed her little nose and said to her, "You're so boring!"
Ying Li raised his delicate eyebrows and asked me, "You acquiesced?"
"I don't have ......"
I found this weak argument to seem uninteresting, so I kept it at bay.
There was silence for a moment before he said, "I just can't figure out why she came out to be a guide." ”
"Then you can ask him tomorrow, wouldn't it?" said Ying Li to me with a grin, she didn't look like a princess at all, but a heartless little girl next door.
Unexpectedly, at this time, I heard Becky, who was sitting on the side, whispering: "Maybe it's because I live on this island!"
"Huh?" I froze for a moment, not understanding the meaning of her words.
The lights were lit in the carriage, and Becky's pretty face was reflected in the glass window, and her eyes became very bright, as if she was saying to herself: "Every day I see the sun rising from the sea and setting back into the sea, and every day I see the same face on this island, the sinking city and the people who are slowly aging, maybe I feel that life is meaningless, and if I want to break free from the cage on this island, I must find someone to take him out of here, maybe that's why she is a guide." ”
I've never seen Becky have such an emotional side.
When she attended the War College in El City, Becky mingled with the boys in her class, had a lot of huddles, and was once more popular than Helena.
But when I saw Becky again, she grew long seaweed-colored hair, and she became a lot calmer and quieter, maybe it was influenced by Ying Li, maybe it was the natural fading of her growth path, in short, she couldn't find the original Becky anymore, and now the Becky standing in front of us is still Becky who likes to wear tight leather armor to show off her figure, just watching her long hair fly in the wind, like a farewell to yesterday.
Hey, girls' minds.
We made our way back to the luxurious manor-style inn without any problems.
......
Ying Li's eyes widened in surprise when he heard me talk about what he had done to Duke Wheeler.
She laughed and said, "What? you asked Karantso to knock Duke unconscious and leave him in the courtyard, why didn't you just bring him back?"
"Bring it back...... And then, when he finds out who we really are, he still doesn't say anything and lets him think wildly!" I shrugged my shoulders and said disapprovingly.
Ying Li sighed slightly: "Even if that's the case, but ...... He should have been thrown to a safe place!"
I don't think so, I think that the yard is the safest place at that time.
So I said to Ying Li, "There is no safer place than that yard, that ...... You see, all the monastic people in the courtyard are dead, and the Knights of the Guard Battalion will come at once, and they will be able to find him at the first time and protect him properly. ”
"Won't he be in trouble? I mean if the Knights find him in that courtyard......" Ying Li stroked the shredded hair around her ear, and she deliberately dressed up tonight, becoming very ...... Princess.
I said categorically, "Of course not, he is a member of the Wheeler family, I asked Rita about the Wheeler family, the Wheeler family is very powerful in this area of Dunai Island, if you don't want to make a difference, those knights of the Guard Battalion can only choose to believe what he says." ”
Stepping through the portal, I turned around and grabbed Ying Li's arm, allowing her to step steadily through the portal and stand firmly on the altar of the teleportation array.
She gave me a sweet smile.
Tonight, she walked out of the room in a long palace dress, revealing a large snow-white chest and collarbone, she held the long skirt lightly with both hands, and her long black hair was curled, which seemed to have a different beauty. Such a long skirt is inconvenient to walk, and when you step through the portal, you need to carefully lift the hem of the skirt, which is why I am so considerate to help her.
When we returned to the underground caves of Xinliu Valley, we actually made a special trip back to treat the injuries of those orc warriors, and some of the injuries of orc warriors must be recovered as soon as possible by using 'hydrotherapy', and the 'hemostatic bandage' alone cannot have any therapeutic effect.
In addition, I want to see the middle-aged uncle who was rescued, he seems to be in a bad condition, he has been in a coma, and he may need my help.
Finally, I just want to meet the two evil mages who were captured by the orc warriors, and I have always had some mysteries in my heart that cannot be solved, maybe they know the answers, so ...... I just thought, come over and ask a few questions.
Seeing Karantso standing on the edge of the altar, I asked her: What happened to the wounded orc warriors?
She said to me with a disapproving face: It's not a big deal, the orcs themselves have a strong recovery ability, you don't want to always treat their injuries and let them recover on their own, but it can stimulate their physical potential even more.
I asked her again: How is the middle-aged uncle who was rescued by us?
Karantso said to me that he was in poor physical condition, sometimes hot as coals, sometimes as cold as a block of ice, and began to talk nonsense, as if his brain had burned out.
After listening to Karantso's introduction, I hurriedly took Karantso to take me to see him.
The middle-aged uncle we rescued was now lying in a stone house, and a native woman of Hierro was wiping his chest with a wet towel, as if to cool his body, and he was still unconscious, but his face was red, his lips were chapped, as if there was a fire burning in his lungs, and another native woman of Hierro was pouring an unknown tree sap into his mouth.
When they saw Karantso and I coming in from outside, they immediately stood up and saluted us, and I asked the El Hierro woman with the sap in her hand, "How is he?"
The woman had tribal totems tattooed on her face, and she didn't dare to make eye contact with me, so her eyes fell on the middle-aged man.
Then, she said in a hesitant manner: "His soul was sold to the devil, so the body will become uncontrollable because of the loss of the soul, and it may not be long before he dies." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged uncle's face suddenly turned blue again, he trembled all over, curled up, and the woman with a wet towel in his hand hurriedly covered him with a sheepskin mattress.
I crouched down and reached out to touch his forehead, which was as cold as ice.
I looked up at Karantso and asked, "Is it similar to Sue at the beginning?"
Karantso frowned and said, "It's a bit similar, but it's not exactly like it, when Su was sick, he was covered with that kind of flame demon pattern, and the power that his body possessed, even I couldn't suppress it, but he didn't look so serious!"
"After all, Su already had the 'Shadow Body' at the time, and it seems that I guessed correctly, he must have taken a potion containing 'Demon Blood', and now he is addicted to drugs. "I sighed and threw a 'hydrotherapy' in my hand.
The effect of the 'hydrotherapy' was obvious, and the coldness in his body was relieved at once, and his breathing began to become even.
Seeing that the middle-aged uncle had been unconscious, I stood up and said to Karantso, "Keep sending someone to take care of him, and I'll come back when he wakes up." ”
With that, he walked out with Ying Li.
At this time, I heard the middle-aged uncle lying in the sheepskin mattress in a daze, and said vaguely: "I don't know what the treasure of the pirate king is...... I do not know...... Where am I a Siren......"
I stopped, and my eyes lit up.
After waiting for a night, the middle-aged uncle didn't wake up.
Just before sunrise, Ying Li and I returned to our Manor Inn room in Dunai.
Ying Li yawned and pulled Helena and Becky back to the room to make up for sleep, and I was also going to lie on the bed and sleep for a while, and told Caterina that if Miss Rita came to us at the Manor Hotel, I would give her a few silver bells and find a reason to refuse her, and now we don't have the idea of investigating those old people on Dunai Island, because the real answer may be in that middle-aged uncle.
......
Duke leaned back on the couch and said to me with a haggard face, "Jiga, you can't guess what kind of experience I had yesterday?"
I feigned surprise and asked, "What? Did you go out yesterday?"
He put on a strange look at me and said, "Actually, I was kidnapped, and it was a wonderful ...... Well, hijacking the trip!"
I was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
As if caught in some kind of memory, he said, "I was groggy all the way, as if I was sitting in the clouds, and I always thought I was making out with a beautiful winged girl, and I seemed to touch her beautiful wings and her breasts, and the feeling was unforgettable!"
I said, "But in fact, you've been kidnapped?"
He coughed awkwardly: "Ahem, ahem...... That's right!"
I said, "Thank goodness you're safe and sound when I see you!"
He leaned back on the couch in a decadent manner and said, "That being said...... Oh, I came to you to tell you that now a huge force has infiltrated the island of Dunai, and their first appearance on the island of Dunai actually wiped out a hideout of a dark magic monastery. ”
I asked her, "What kind of people are they?"
Duke also said with a blank face: "I don't know, I just heard that last night, those people from the Knights of the Guard Battalion seized a large number of demon items in that house. ”
"Oh, by the way, now the Knights of the Guard Battalion are under martial law all over the city, threatening to catch those unruly guys. Hmph! This group of knights and gentlemen have probably been slapped in the face, so they will show an annoyed and angry look!"
"I'm worried about your identity, don't reveal it, you must be careful, when someone interrogates you, you can say that you are my friend, but ...... You can't say you're from Conason Island anyway, you know?"
"Ahh
Duke laughed and said, "Sure enough, I guess you don't know, the consul here has a good relationship with Marquis Boris, and he won't let the people who oppose Marquis Boris appear in the city, they can't find that group of mysterious people, and they won't be soft enough to arrest you remnants of Conason Island." ”
"......" I was speechless.
But he immediately became refreshed, and said to me, "Baron Ahuiton is holding a ball at the manor tonight, do you want to come with me?" I have heard that there will be many nobles and ladies from the island of Dunai, and you may be able to have a wonderful evening!"
I cut Duke down, sent him to the door, and finally said to him, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'll forget it anyway, and have fun!"
