0033 Crystal Ball of Destiny
At night, the Artis Beauty, with its sails in tow, quietly left the harbor, like an offshore fishing boat, anchored in the wide waters five miles from Bermeo, stepping on the waves, floating and sinking.
There are suddenly two new members on the ship, one is the Roma witch who follows the same step and does not leave Henna for three steps, and the other is a well-behaved and clever white-eared black cat who meows and sells cuteness on Lorraine's lap.
In Pierce's opinion, this is very abnormal......
Whether it's bringing a dangerous person like a witch onto a ship or leaving the harbor for no apparent reason, everything is not normal.
He was absentmindedly mixing salads in the kitchen when he saw the stout Clen sneak into the pod in a sneaky manner like a polar bear digging birds' eggs.
"Mr. Scott, ...... you"
"Uh-huh." Clen straightened his waist and cleared his throat, "Little Pierce, what's going to eat tonight?" ”
"The main food is Grandma Rowling's tomato lettuce butter salad and mustard tuna, the meal is dark beer and orange juice, and the appetizer is devil's eggs."
"Gan! Devil! Clen's white face turned pale, "Demon Demon ...... The devil is coming so soon? ”
Pierce rolled his eyes, picked up a plate of yellow core on a white background from the table, stuffed the eye-catching snack into Clen's hand, and repeated in an accent: "Devil eggs, Halloween devil eggs!" ”
"The Devil...... Egg? ”
Karen looked at the egg in his hand in a daze, and after looking at it for a long time, his square face turned white to red, red to red, red to slightly purple, and his ears were smoking.
He muttered for a long time and whispered, "Little Pierce, you have a good relationship with the captain. You say, how can the captain let a witch come on board? ”
"It is the prerogative of the captain to choose the crew, not even God can intervene."
"But that's a witch! With a black cat, a cloak, an ugly appearance, and muttering to himself, there was a cauldron in the house, in which lizards, bats, spiders, and poisonous snakes were boiled...... It's this kind of witch! ”
Pierce looked at Clen helplessly.
"Mr. Scott, White Ears seems to prefer a captain who can fish, and it is Ms. Yesla who wears a cloak on the boat, and it is my job to cook in a cauldron, and I have never cooked any lizards, bats, spiders, or vipers."
"As for muttering...... There was no one on the ship before, but now there is a Germanic shipwright. And ugly...... Ms. Sara was a little dirty when she first got on the boat, but after washing her face, you touched your conscience and said, is she ugly? ”
Karen was scared to bloom with flowers, Zhiwu, Zhiwu: "But she's a witch!" ”
Pierce wiped his hands and took off his apron: "Mr. Scott, if you really care so much, why don't you just ask the captain?" ”
"I asked......"
"What did Mr. Captain say?"
Clen took a deep breath: "He said that witch is an honorific title, and witch is slander. And the one on the boat is a witch, not a witch......"
"Do you understand?"
"If I understood, would I come to you?"
Pierce sighed in understanding: "Actually, I also asked about this secretly. ”
"What did the captain tell you?"
He said...... Eat lightly for these two days, and you may see blood on the boat. ”
Kalen's eyes widened slowly.
He muttered to himself, "The captain has kidnapped a witch, and the devil is coming......"
……
Lorraine, who had abducted the witch, was fishing.
He sat cross-legged on the bow deck, with four fishing rods in front of him, boneless white ears on his legs, his twin knives lying flat, and behind his back were Scott's ballistas, which had been stripped off of their tarpaulins.
The fish in the Bay of Biscay are very easy to catch, four rods are launched, two of them have bites, and the bright white buoys are sunk to the bottom, but Lorraine has no intention of raising the rods.
The white ear is a foodie, catch one, eat one, and at this time he has already eaten a dog cod and a small sardine, if he continues to raise the rod, the little guy is afraid that he will not be able to walk, which is not good for the stomach.
Waiting so boredly for the third pole to sink the mark, Lorraine finally heard a footstep.
The person who came was Henna.
Although Henna never walked without a sound, she was followed by Noah, and naturally followed the sound.
Noah washed herself, her little white hands, her clean little face, and the undried droplets on the tips of her curly hair, which were crystal clear in the moonlight, adding a bit of charm to the owner of her hair, and finally having the taste of a Roma woman.
Lorraine beckoned to Noah.
Noah stepped onto the deck and bit her lip to stand behind Lorraine.
"Are you used to it on the boat?"
"Although it is the first time to go to sea, the Roma are naturally adapted to all means of transportation, which is a gift from our ancestors." Noah replied in a whisper.
"It's good not to get seasick." Lorraine picked up the white ears and stuffed them back into Noah's hands, "The witch and the black cat are a good match, and the little one always relies on me, so that the fish are unhooked." ”
"Meow!" The little one grumbled dissatisfiedly, stepped on Noah's shoulder, and swooped into the bilge.
Lorraine laughed dumbly, stood up and pulled out a huge tuna, with a black back and white belly, blue longitudinal stripes, at least thirty pounds, fluttering desperately on the deck, slapping with a crackling sound.
Henna stabbed it in the gill cover, picked it up, threw it into the bucket, and then put it in its sheath and sat down against Lorraine.
"You're going to use a fishing fork cannon?"
"It depends on how many of them come."
Henna nodded, "When do you think they'll come?" ”
"Tonight? Or tomorrow night? Lorraine smiled and put on the bait and set up the pole, "The Roma are the strays of the land, and they want to snatch people from the strays of the sea, and they dare not delay too long, nor dare they dare to be blatant. ”
"It should be tonight." Noah suddenly interjected, "Madame Alfonso may convince the viscount at any time that if there is no crystal ball of fate, the cousins will not be able to do divination and will be driven away." ”
"So we'll see you tonight......" Lorraine looked at the calm sea inexplicably, "Noah, can you lend me your crystal ball to see?" ”
"Huh?"
"If there is a conflict with the customs of the Roma......
"No, it's just that most people will stay away from Wubu's tools, so ......" Noah stammered, quickly took out the crystal ball from the cloth bag, held it in both hands, and handed it to Lorraine.
Lorraine solemnly took it.
The crystal ball is very heavy, weighing about five or six catties, but it is only the size of an orange, which is worthy of a hand.
Lorraine held it high and approached the moon, and through the moonlight, she could see dense hairlines in the dark purple orb of radiant appearance.
The distribution of these lines is peculiar, forming a wide or narrow, thin or thick light-blocking band in the sphere.
The light shines unevenly through the crystal clear sphere, and the moon in the ball ripples, like a reflection in water when it is about to be shattered.
Lorraine knew that Noah's witchcraft was indeed as he had thought, some kind of consciousness hypnotic using light and shadow......
Generations of the Romsala's tribe have been exhausted in their wisdom to figure out how to use the natural hair strands in the Destiny Crystal Ball, and if they cast a spell with another orb, their witchcraft effect will be greatly reduced.
In other words, the Crystal Ball of Destiny is an irreplaceable component of the witchcraft of the Romsala Division.
Lorraine smacked her lips and solemnly handed the crystal ball back to Noah.
He saw Pierce waving in the stern with a plate, and said, "Go eat." I'm full, so I stay up late......"
