George Tina frowned, revealing her trademark worried expression, and nodded: "Yes, Commander Cook, Romon is a very important combat force. He's always been a brave soldier, and I really didn't expect him to run away. She was also referring to Alexandra as the commander by her last name, and although she was raw, she looked solemn.

This is in line with that sentence, over time, the hearts of the people, only at the critical moment, can we see how good a person's quality is. Who would have thought that the famous falling flowers and flowing water. Romon turned out to be a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. I sincerely hope that the other two members of your team will be brave and not do anything disappointing. Alexandra said as she stared at Donk and Soru, especially at Donk.

Donk chuckled, patted the Dementor Knife hanging from his waist, and said lightly, "Commander, don't doubt my courage, my past achievements have proven it for me." ”

Solu also immediately expressed his position, spread his hands and said: "I am taking money to do things, if I escape, the bounty agreed with will be gone, so I will not run away." If I did run away, it must have been because someone else offered me a higher price and hired me to escape. ”

As she spoke, Alexandra had already led her two team members to the side of the Greenland Empire, standing a few meters apart. He nodded and said, "If it's true as you two say, then it couldn't be better." However, even if you have the courage to sacrifice your life and forget your death, it is still far from enough. One more person had to be found to replace Romon and re-form a five-person squad to reassure people. ”

Tang Ke and Soru were more rude than the other, they didn't get up at all, they still sat in their places, eating and drinking whenever they wanted. On the side of the Greenland Empire, only George Tina's mother and daughter are entertaining the Dragon's Tooth Country and others. George Tina said, "According to Commander Cook's opinion, who do you think is more appropriate to replace Romon?" ”

"I know the powerhouses of your navy quite well. In my estimation, there is only one person who is most suitable. Her strength is comparable to that of Luo Meng, and she has experienced a hundred battles, so she will definitely be able to provoke the beam and live up to expectations. Alexandra said as she turned her beastly head and looked at Emily on the other side, and it was self-evident that she meant.

Seeing this, Georgiotina's face suddenly changed drastically, and she said categorically: "No! Emily is an indispensable officer in the navy and will not allow her to slip up. Whoever she chooses to enter the Fountain of Death can be, but she can't. ”

"Don't get too excited, if you don't agree with Colonel Emily's involvement, you can nominate another candidate, and if you choose someone more suitable than Colonel Emily, I will agree." Alexandra said in a deep voice.

"The Greenland Empire is not big, it is not small, what is the difficulty of finding a suitable candidate, I can come up with a series of candidates just by thinking about it." Georgiotina gritted her teeth.

That's when it happened. Emily, the party next to her, stood up, reached out and pressed her mother's shoulder, stepped forward and said, "Commander, I feel that Commander Cook's words are not unreasonable. Although there are many generals in our army, I am the most suitable person. If you choose someone who is too weak to enter the fountain of death, it will not only cause them to lose their lives, but it will also have no effect. If you choose someone who is too strong, go there. The empire could not afford to take the corresponding risks. Only my strength is just right, in that case, let me replace the fleeing Romon. ”

"I said it. No way! Georgitina's reaction became more violent, for it was not a colonel standing in front of her, but her daughter, whom she regarded as the jewel of her hand, "Anyone can go, but you can't." ”

"Commander, I don't want to go either, but for everyone, there is a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and now the responsibility is my turn, I have no choice but to face it." Emily stared into her mother's concerned eyes, slowed down her speech, and said word by word, "We are at war with an enemy country, and the outcome of the war will determine the life and death of thousands of people, and if this fountain of death falls into the hands of the enemy country, the consequences will be unimaginable." So I can't back down, or I'll be so guilty that I can't sleep. ”

"As the commander, I know the gravity of the situation better than you, but this responsibility does not have to be borne by you, others can also carry it, for example, ......" Georgina said three people in a row, but the more she spoke, the lower her voice became. Ask herself, even she understands that these people are indeed not as suitable as Emily, and they all have some shortcomings.

"Alright, Commander, you just let me go. I'm going to do better than the three you mentioned, and I promise I'll come back alive. Emily raised her hand and stroked her mother's pink face, "I will never let you become a mother without a daughter." ”

Hearing such assurances, Georgina was slightly relieved, but she was still reluctant to let her daughter run away and take risks.

Alexandra added fuel and vinegar at the right time to try her best to deal with the matter, and the two team members he brought with him also said that they would try to protect Emily as much as possible.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Georgina had no choice but to nod and agree.

Tang Ke raised his hand, slapped it dryly, got up and raised a glass to the mother and daughter present: "The bravery of the two ladies is not weaker than that of men, it is really awe-inspiring, let me toast to this bravery." ”

"I think I should give you two a toast, too." Alexandra nodded in acknowledgment and picked up a half-full glass from the table.

Everyone present simply took a glass of wine each, even the robot Five. Although it is lifeless, it has a container for storing liquids in its mouth, and it can be pretended to be a two-sip of wine. Everyone clinked glasses and drank them all in one gulp, paying tribute to Emily's feat.

After drinking, everyone found their own seats and sat down according to their status, and continued to talk about the brave fountain of death.

"According to the relatively reliable records left over from previous history, the situation in the Fountain of Death is very different every time, and there is a possibility that all kinds of dangerous things may appear. There seems to be another space within the Fountain of Death, and this space uses some mysterious power to contain some dangerous things inside. Whenever the Fountain of Death appears, this space will randomly combine those dangerous things inside to form a labyrinth. Of course, this is only a speculation, and no one has been able to confirm it. George Tina placed a thick stack of materials on the table, including a large amount of textual materials and several imaginary pictures.

On those imaginary drawings, the images of demons, devils, and all kinds of dangerous creatures are impressively drawn, and although the drawings are not very realistic, they give people a sense of oppression at all.

Donk casually picked up the piece of paper on which the demon was drawn. Looking into the eyes of the demon in the painting, he had a lot of dealings with this creature from the abyss, and he was very familiar with it.

George Tina glanced around and continued, "In the records of the Fountain of Death, dark creatures appear very frequently, so be sure to be prepared for this before entering the Fountain of Death. Commander Cook and I wanted to match your team with a high-ranking priest, but the priest's combat ability is too low, and if you enter the Longtan tiger's den like the Fountain of Death, it will probably drag you back. So the plan was later canceled. To compensate for this shortcoming, several of you will be provided with the most effective Escape Stones, Crosses, and Holy Water before you set out. With these treasures at hand, you will be able to deal with the attacks of those dark creatures, even without the priest by your side. ”

"I have one thing to ask." Donk suddenly raised his hand.

"If you have any questions, you can just ask." Georgio Tina said.

"Does the holy water you provide have a strawberry flavor?" Donk asked an unprecedented question.

George Tina was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she said angrily: "I'm sorry, the holy water in the world tastes the same, it will never taste too good, if you find it difficult to swallow, you can bring two strawberries with you and put them in it." ”

"I'm just asking. If not, forget it, you can move on. I'm listening. Donk shrugged.

George Tina glared at Donk, then continued to explain the battle plan. She talked about some of the dangers that have arisen in the history of the Fountain of Death. And told the five team members what to do. If this Fountain of Death is the same as the Fountain of Death in the past, with the strength of these five people, there is still a great hope that it will pass. I'm afraid that this time the Fountain of Death will play new tricks and make scenes that have never been seen before. Monsters that have never existed before emerge, and in this case, there are many variables.

She had been speaking for nearly an hour, and by this time the sun had shifted. As it began to sink westward, the sun became much lighter, and the sea lost its splendor as before.

With everything said about the Fountain of Death, George Tina took out a new bottle of wine and poured a glass for each of the five, but not for Five and Emily.

Thinking with that simple mind, Fifth felt that it was unfair that he didn't have wine, so he interjected, "Beautiful female commander, although I am only a tin man and cannot taste the sweetness of fine wine, I still hope that you will treat everyone equally and give me a glass of wine to drink." ”

"Five, this is really not a good wine, so I didn't give it to you, if you drink it, what if you rust." Georgio Tina said meaningfully.

"Why isn't this good wine?"

"Poisoned wine is naturally not a good wine." George Tina shook the bottle in her hand, and the wine inside took on a scarlet color, like human blood. Seeing this, the faces of the three people who were assigned to the poisoned wine changed more or less.

"These people are all members of the five-person team, why would you give them poisoned wine?" Number Five was even more confused.

"Just because they're members of the five, that's why I'm going to give them poisoned wine."

"I don't understand." Five shook his head, his neck rubbing against the sound of metal turning.

The robot couldn't figure it out, but Donk did, and he helped explain: "It's actually very simple, the great alliance of the two countries is not at ease with a few of us, and we are afraid that we will suddenly change our mind after getting the Fountain of Death, and fill our own pockets in the Fountain of Death, or send it to other forces in exchange for a reward, so we will be rewarded with a glass of poisoned wine, and let us drink the poisoned wine." This poisonous wine must be a chronic poisonous wine, and it will be a while before the attack, if a few of us don't want to be poisoned, after getting the Fountain of Death, we have to obediently send the Fountain of Death back, and then exchange it for an antidote to take it. I don't know if I'm right, Lady Commander? ”

"You are so clever and you guessed exactly right, only if you have drunk the deadly poisoned wine, the alliance of the two countries can completely reassure you." George Tina admits calmly.

"It seems that none of the three of us can hide from this cup of poisonous wine." Donk smiled wryly.

"Don't worry, as long as you can come back, even if you can't bring back the Fountain of Death, I will give you the antidote. This is just a precautionary measure, as long as you don't have different intentions and betray the alliance of the two countries, the alliance will never harm you. For this, I can swear by my personality. ”

"Your personality is really valuable." Donk was the first to catch the poisoned liquor. I put it under my nostrils and sniffed it. He is not afraid of drinking any poisonous wine, because there are six resurrection springs in his body, which can remove a hundred poisons, even if he drinks it, he will be fine, "This wine is red wine, I can recognize it, but I can't guess what poison is mixed in it." He wondered.

"I'm sorry, this is a secret for now, but I can promise you when you return with the Fountain of Death. I'll tell you the secret again. George Tina said. This is to avoid several people knowing in advance what kind of poison it is and then looking for a way to detoxify it on their own.

"It's a secret again, I hate secrets." Donk chuckled and used an investigative technique on the wine in his hand to find out the origin of the poison.

Talomati:

Grade: None.

Type: Poison.

Description: Named after the Sixth Great Demon, the poison is a mixture of poisonous weeds and has the characteristics of strong toxicity, low taste, and slow effect.

Effect: After drinking it for five days, it will slowly take effect, and the water in the body of the poisoned person will slowly lose and gradually wither. Until death.

How to use: Mix into liquid or food, and pour directly into someone's stomach, of course.

The name of this poison is quite nice, but the effect is very cruel, and it can cause a large living person to slowly wither and die like a plant.

Donk snorted. He didn't want to try it, but the poison didn't bother him. Since the poison had no effect on him, he didn't have to worry about being subject to the alliance between the two countries and could continue to act according to his plan.

Shoot when it's time to strike. If he has the opportunity, he will do whatever it takes to take the Fountain of Death for himself.

"I hope the poison doesn't spoil the taste of the wine." Donk didn't have any worries and raised his glass. Drinking it all calmly, as if he were loyal to the Greenland Empire, as if this was not poisonous wine at all, but an ordinary glass of red wine.

Poisoned wine into the stomach, in addition to the aroma of wine, did not bring more feelings, at most the inside of the stomach became hotter.

"Ding! You drank poisoned wine and went into a state of poisoning. ”

The system prompt sounded in time, giving a warning.

Tang Ke remained silent, and immediately urged the six resurrection springs in his abdomen, using this artifact-level treasure to wash the poison in his body, which felt like washing the dishes with clean water, and quickly disposed of the dirty things.

"Ding! You relied on the resurrection fountain in your body to relieve the poisoning state in your body. ”

It only took a little more than a minute, and I don't know whether to praise the effect of the Resurrection Fountain too strong, or to belittle the poison of "Talomati" is too weak.

Even George Tina was surprised that Donk had drunk the poisoned wine so quickly. In the eyes of outsiders, a pirate leader like Donk, who is stubborn, angry, and full of evil, will never die for the Empire.

"It's pretty sweet." Donk smacked his lips casually.

Georgitina stared at Donk for a long time, then came back to her senses and praised, "Donk made a good start, if the other two have no objections, please drink the poisoned wine." ”

Sea Dragon Knight. Ada is a member of the navy of the Dragon Tooth Country, and since he has come here, of course he is not short of this cup of poisonous wine. He grabbed one of the cups of poisoned wine and drank it cleanly with his neck up.

Soru is a killer who is very resistant to poisoned alcohol and is the only one to protest. He argued with Georgina for a while, and then a compromise was reached, and the Greenland Empire paid him an additional 50,000 gold coins as compensation for drinking the poisoned wine, and he reluctantly drank the poisoned wine.

With the exception of Five, who is immune to poisoned alcohol, three of the five team members drank poisoned alcohol, but Emily did not drink poisoned alcohol. With her special status, even if she gets a little preferential treatment, no one says anything, not even Alexandra has no objections.

Tonk grabbed the poisoned wine, poured a glass into an empty wine glass, and joked at Emily, "Won't you have a drink, Warrior Woman?" I think this poisoned wine tastes pretty good. ”

"I appreciate your kindness, but forget it. I'm afraid the poisoned wine will hurt my stomach. Emily gave Donk a blank look, not bothering to look at the poisoned wine.

After drinking the poisoned wine, today's small meeting was completely negotiated, and George Tina invited everyone to have a hearty meal in this living room, and then took the five team members to the unified residence to rest, and gave a grounding order to the five people, forbidding them to walk around before entering the Fountain of Death.

Capturing the Fountain of Death was a matter of urgency, and the group of five ventured out the next day after only one night's rest.

The alliance between the two countries prepared a small first-order magic ship for these five people, named "Solid Shield", and all the weapons on the ship were unloaded, and all of them were replaced with defensive armor and protective arrays. The ship's responsibility was to bring the five to the Fountain of Death, and it didn't expect the ship to help more. On this ship, there was also a decent crew member, who was basically sent to die, and the alliance of the two countries gave a hefty pension.

Donk stood at the bow of the ship, his hands in his trouser pockets, staring at the black vortex that was getting closer and closer, his heart beating faster. (To be continued......)
