CH.14 Threats
To celebrate Amy's temporary accession, Anrui ordered Sam to cook a sumptuous dinner that night, kill a precious chicken, and cut a few oranges.
When the Dragon Teng went to sea, it raised five chickens and one sheep on board, which were specially used to eat during celebrations, which are considered the most precious ingredients on board.
During Amy's search for her father's bones in the Astrolabe Islands, she couldn't eat anything except the fruits on the island and the fish and shrimp in the sea. This girl ate several loaves of bread that night, and her little belly was round.
After everything was done and he returned to the captain's room, Anrui made time to tinker with the little piano, or music box, that he had just gotten his hands on.
Such a rusty music box, of course, can't get into An Rui's eyes, what he really likes is the contents of the music box, that is, the master * key.
There are two ways to open the music box, one is to violently destroy it, and the other is to touch the mechanism.
Violent destruction is too barbaric, and there is no need for it, relatively speaking, Anrui still prefers the second method.
"Du, Rui, Mi, Fa ......"
At Anrui's press, an inaccurate note popped out, which was particularly harsh in the night.
These keys are the mechanisms of the music box, and as long as you press them in a fixed order, you can open the mechanism and open the dark compartment inside.
This series of scales was not complicated, and An Rui pressed it from beginning to end according to the experience of the previous life.
There was a soft click, and a rusty dark grid popped out of the side, revealing a small gap.
Anrui whistled, pulled his fingers into the slit, and pulled them open.
In the dark compartment, there was a dark gray key lying quietly, the key was toothless, straight and straight, which looked a little strange. From the outside, it doesn't look like a key, but rather an iron bar.
Only Anrui knew in his heart that the lack of tooth patterns was the peculiarity of this key.
This key is made of a special metal called "pudding metal", which is highly active, and as long as it is inserted into the lock hole, the key will automatically change shape and grow a tooth pattern that can fit the lock hole, so as to achieve the purpose of unlocking.
Theoretically, as long as it is not a lock with a special force, this master key can be opened.
Anrui took out the master key, wiped it clean, and put it in his pocket. As for the rusty music box, it was not thrown away, and it was put back in the space treasure chest, which was a small collectible.
This master key is a very important treasure for him, and will even become the key to his future rise.
……
Time flies, and after a few days, the Dragon finally sails out of the Astrolabe Islands, and under the orders of An Rui, it sails to the southeast. There was a place called Starmoon Island, which was where An Rui was going before he set off, and he wanted to take the fine iron blades he was carrying on the ship and sell them.
Before leaving, An Rui did not disclose the destination of this trip to the sea to outsiders, so there is no need to worry that Bai Ge will chase there, and he can go with peace of mind, and there is no need to change the destination because of Bai Ge's threat.
This sea area is far away from the Astrolabe Islands, so there is no need to worry about encountering the Kraken, and everyone has taken off their earplugs. From then on, I finally didn't have to live that aggrieved life of being able to communicate only in sign language.
"The sea breeze please listen to my request, blow quickly, bring the boat to my hometown, let me be with my family......" Amy sat on the port side railing, her trouser legs swaying at will, revealing a pair of white and flawless calves. She sang in a low voice, and her voice was graceful, like the sound of heaven.
"Amy, you seem to like singing very much, and you've always sung to us since you left the Astrolabe Islands." Sam grinned as he held the mop in his hand. After many days, the sequelae of his headache have basically disappeared.
"Actually, I didn't really like singing before, but the reason why I've been singing lately is because I've been influenced by the Kraken. When a druid becomes another species, over time, he will become infected with the habits of that species. The more times you transform, the longer it takes, and the more you will be affected. Some druids have been transformed for so long that they even forget that they were once a person and live in a transformed state forever. We druids call this phenomenon 'self-forgetfulness'. ”
"So there's still that kind of saying."
"yes." 'Self-forgetfulness' is a big taboo for druids, and it needs to be treated with care. I've been a Kraken for too long, and I've contracted a kraken's love of singing, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to get rid of it. ”
"It's not a problem, you sing quite well, if you love to sing, sing it."
"Hehe, I'm smiling." Amy raised her little hand and scratched her inky hair, looking cute and moving.
"If you get into the habit of a sea monster, you will like to sing, but if you get the habit of an orangutan, will you become fond of eating bananas?" Anrui chimed in his hand at the rudder and interjected.
"Eun, it's possible." Amy nodded vigorously.
In fact, An Rui also wants to ask, if he transforms into a dog, will he learn to be a dog and pout? But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and when he talked to the little girl, his mouth should be more restrained.
Everyone chatted some more gossip, and the topic chatted and chatted, and suddenly shifted to An Rui's profession as a "fortune teller".
The soothsayer profession is very attractive to people, and everyone wants to know what will happen to them in the future.
"Honey, can you tell me about my future?" Shafi walked over to An Rui and asked in a sugary voice.
"I want to know when I'll be able to lose weight." Sam joined in the fun and patted his general's belly.
"I don't have much to think about, but if you want to help you with divination, you can also help me with divination." Berego stood on the lookout and shouted loudly.
Everyone has different opinions, and they all want to find Anrui, a fortune teller, to calculate.
Listening to everyone's words, An Rui was more or less a little big, and the soothsayer said that it was just a beautiful lie, where did he know what divination was.
Fortunately, he knew that there was an excuse that could be used to prevaricate the past.
"Do you know the classification of soothsayers?" An Rui asked rhetorically without answering.
Like many different types of warriors, there are categories of soothsayers, and there is not just one type of soothsayer.
"I have met two kinds of soothsayers, one is an astrological soothsayer, who divides fate through the stars in the sky, and a tarot soothsayer, who uses tarot cards for divination." Sam replied after a moment's thought.
"Yes, there are many soothsayers, and I am the most special one." An Rui made a fool of himself.
"Which one?"
"I'm a dream teller!"
"Dream teller?"
"Unlike other soothsayers, I don't rely on astrological divination, nor on tarot cards, but on dreaming. But everything I dream about will happen in reality. An Rui threw out such a somewhat mysterious explanation.
In fact, his words are half-truths and half-truths, not exactly bluffing.
There are indeed dream soothsayers in this world, which are relatively rare among soothsayers, and it is difficult to come across. The divination of this type of soothsayer is full of uncertainty, and he cannot actively predict his future fate, so he can only passively wait for the dream to appear.
Several of the people had heard of the existence of a dream teller, and Anrui did often have many prophetic experiences, so he quickly accepted the claim.
Unlike other soothsayers, the dream soothsayer has no way to help people take the initiative to divinate their fate, so everyone has to give up and no longer force An Rui to help divination.
An Rui breathed a sigh of relief and diverted the subject.
At this moment, the sound transmission stone hanging from An Rui's waist suddenly sounded, but it was not his own sound transmission stone, but Bai Ge's sound transmission stone!
I don't know if the people inside Bai Ge are using the sound stone to talk, or Bai Ge wants to talk to An Rui.
In fact, An Rui had thought of using the sound transmission stone to scold Bai Ge and vent his emotions, but then gave up this idea and felt that it was not necessary. If you want to take revenge, you will use blood debt and blood to pay for it, and there is no point in bickering.
Out of curiosity, Anrui grabbed the sound transmission stone and put it to his ear, listening to the words that came out of it.
"Anrui, where did you drive the ship? Don't think you can escape from the palm of my hand, even if you go through the seven seas, I will pull you out! ”
From the sound transmission stone came Bai Ge's voice, which was full of resentment, as if it was carrying a curse.
It is estimated that Bai Ge has been "calling" Anrui a lot these days, but Anrui has been carrying earplugs most of the time and has not heard it.
An Rui took the sound transmission stone away from his ear for some distance, frowned and looked at the sound transmission stone in his hand, and pondered the wording for a while, before he countered to the sound transmission stone: "Bai Ge, don't worry, we will definitely meet again in the future." Even if you don't come to me, I'll come to you. At that point, I will definitely make you pay for what you have done. ”
"An Rui, you finally have the courage to reply, I thought you were so scared that you threw away the sound transmission stone." After Bai Ge heard An Rui's reply, his voice became even more ruthless.
"Hehe, why should I throw away such a good thing? I'm going to use this soundstone to eavesdrop on your entire fleet. An Rui sneered. As long as the secret language is not activated, the words here will not be transmitted to Bai Ge, so there is no need to worry, and you can use this sound transmission stone as a bugging.
"No problem, listen to it if you want, I'll let you hear a lot of horrible conversations that will make you sleep. You'll hear through the Soundstone how I found you, and you'll feel the fear of death looming. I'm going to be your nightmare and then from turning this nightmare into reality. Bai Ge said viciously.
"I and the Dragon are ready to welcome you." An Rui snorted, too lazy to talk to Bai Ge any more, and interrupted the conversation in secret words, causing the sound transmission stone to fall silent.
