Chapter 10 Barely passing
Lulunaka looked back at Olga with a complaining expression on her face, "Master Olga, I've said it many times, you can't protect this kid for the rest of your life, just like you can't protect Romeo for the rest of your life. I thought you would understand this after we talked about it. β
Olga tossed her bow aside and shook her head, "He shouldn't have died for this." I will die, and he will die...... Everyone dies eventually, but I don't want him to die at your toss. β
Lulunaka pointed to Julius below, "You see how he fought, right? This kid could have killed the captain down there without any major problems, but why did he fall to the point where he was almost killed by a plot and had to be saved by you?"
Olga followed Lulunaka's finger and looked at Julius, who was covering her face and wiping her eyes below, "He is still young, and people always make mistakes, and even more so young people...... It is better to teach him a lesson than to die like this. β
"No one is so lucky, Lord Olga. Lulunaka said, "Of course, this kid may be an exceptionβit's unfortunate to have met me." If you think about it this way, could it be that he is surviving now because I am already his greatest misfortune?"
Lulunaka jumped straight off the platform and walked towards Julius and Roque. Roque was dead, and Julius was rubbing his eyes vigorously. Seeing Julius' embarrassed appearance, Lulunaka shook her head and raised her cane. Luluna flicked a few flicks on the tip of the cane that spewed fire, and the crystal turned from fiery red to dark blue, and then spewed small jets of water at Julius.
The water fell on Julius's head. With the water washing, Julius quickly got the sand out of his eyes.
"That sounds pretty good to you. Seeing that the dust on Julius's face was almost washed, Lulunaka stopped the crystal from spraying, pulled it from her cane, and put it in her arms. "Sounds a lot like what a righteous hero would say. But it's not home yet, Mr. Captain doesn't seem to be overwhelmed by your momentum at all, and in the end he still laughs at you like a child. β
Lulunaka crouched beside Roque, her fingers moving over Roque's swarthy skin, "Mr. Captain, there are some things that are right. You really don't understand anything, and you think that people can survive by eating tree bark...... But if you fall into eating tree bark, you will be dominated by these flesh-eating people, because you don't have the strength to fight them, and even running away is a problem. But there's no such thing as eating human flesh...... What do you think?" Lulunaka asked Julius.
Julius leaned on the jet of water that Lulunaka squirted at him to clean the dust off his face and the sand from his eyes, but he didn't react to Lulunaka's words. When Lulunaka questioned him, he remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "It's definitely not the right thing to do, I ...... I can't understand them. β
"Well, I hope you can keep it that way, but don't become a rotten person like them. Lulunaka stood up and walked over to Roque's dog, whom she had tamed, "Let me tell you a little thing: eating human flesh for whatever reason is damaging to the brain, because it's dirty. If you eat too much, you might even turn into a ghoul. β
Lulunaka once again brought the three wolfdogs with her, the three beast-like creatures were quite docile in front of Lulunaka, and as for their original owners, they were now dog food for them to enjoy. "These beasts can use people as food to fill their stomachs without care, because they have bad brains, otherwise you would be the ones who are being tethered and fed meat like this. β
Lulunaka let go of the rope, "Puppies, drag that lump of meat away, don't bite into it, or I'll cook you." β
The three wolfdogs dragged Roque out of here, they were indeed very obedient, and did not take Lulunaka's words seriously, compared to other animals, their spirituality was quite high. Or rather, the fear of death made it clear to them what would happen if they disobeyed Lulunaka. That's not something their former owner, Roque, can bring to them.
Olga also jumped down and walked towards Julius. When Julius was able to open his eyes, the first thing he saw happened to be Olga.
"I almost messed up, didn't I?" said Julius, with a bitter smile on his face, "I thought I was going to die, but that Roque fell." Lulunaka certainly won't help me at such a time, so it's just you. β
After being plotted by Roque's tricks, although his eyes couldn't see, he could still hear it. Looking back on that time, Julius is a little afraid. He almost died of his own momentary hesitation.
But Olga didn't scold him, just patted him on the head, "You did a good job, the sword inserted into the armpit is beautiful, it is the key point, if it is inserted a little more accurately, it will be better if you pierce the heart directly." β
"It's too difficult. Julius said, picking up the cross-sword that had fallen to the ground, and looking down at it, "It's a wonderful feeling...... I felt like I had been stabbed in a soft stone. I just want to poke as deep as I can, I can't see it."
"That's the feel of the weapon when it goes through your body, and you have to get used to it. "But don't make the same mistake next time." When the enemy falls, you have no respite and no room to be a victor until you cut off the opponent's head. β
"I'm sorry, next time, I'll ......" This is not a glorious thing, Julius's face does not look good, the high feeling of victory at the beginning is no longer left, only the fear of almost having an accident...... And shame.
Olga and Julius didn't say much, and Lulunaka was already far away, and the two of them followed.
In the end, almost all the people who lived in this hidden cove were turned into corpses and piled up together. At the top of the hill where the corpses were piled up, there was Roque. Most of this cove stronghold, which Roque was proud of and believed to be safe and secure, had been reduced to ashes, and he himself was to be a member of the ashes.
Everything was burned down by Lulunaka, the houses, the docks, the two galleys, and the boats...... Eventually, Lulunaka threw a handful of fire into the pile of corpses.
It was afternoon, and the fire was blowing in the cool sea breeze, and the fire brought up puffs of smoke and the stench of burnt corpses.
"Did you forget something?" Lulunaka looked at the big bonfire for a moment, then looked back to find that there were still three wolfdogs left untreated. The three ferocious dogs didn't bark anymore now, and were honestly lying on their sides - or rather, dead.
Julius saw that Lulunaka had just given something to the three dogs that had been fed human flesh, and then the dog visibly lost its spirits and finally lay on its side and did not move.
"What a poor little fellow, a beast like you, who has been raised, is not even as valuable as a rabbit when he dies and is not even likely to be eaten. Lulunaka touched the dead dogs' heads, "Dogs that have eaten human flesh have no edible value, the meat is sour." β
Lulunaka picked up the three dogs and threw them into the fire, "Find a better master for the next life, Mr. Captain." β
After Lulunaka had finished dealing with the three wolfdogs, Pattin, who had been silent on the sidelines, spoke, "You let those surrenderers go, I didn't expect you to be like this...... Benevolent. β
Just now, Luluna Kar let the people who were in charge of carrying the corpses after the surrender leave the place, and let them take Roque's head with them. There was nothing left here, but Roque had kept his head, but it had become his own.
Lulunaka looked back, "Three hundred gold coins." β
"What?" Patin was puzzled.
Lulunaka stretched out three fingers, as if she had taken Patin for a child, "Mr. Captain's head is three hundred gold coins, according to the poor creatures who claim to be forced to be helpless, and the city north of the Dark Sea seems to be a little famous, right?" β
Lulunaka's three outstretched fingers didn't seem to be just three hundred gold coins. "Three hundred gold coins is indeed quite a lot, but if everyone divides it, it will only be a hundred. If there is one less, there will be fifty more, and if there are two less, there will be two hundred! Think about it, will you feel very sorry for the loss of missing out on two hundred gold coins?"
At this time, Paddy finally understood the meaning of Lulunaka's words, and his face began to turn ugly. "You're doing this devilish act again......"
Lulunaka just grinned at Patin's accusations, "It's been a long time since I've heard you call me the devil, Mr. Edgar." Are you angry? Because I've gone too far with these thugs?"
Olga shook her head and interjected, "No matter how many outrageous and despicable sins they have done, but you do this...... It's just as unpleasant. β
Julius, who was on the sidelines, didn't understand what the other three were saying, he only knew that Lulunaka did let some people go, and he was a little upset about it. "Didn't they get let go? Is there anything more than that? This mercy should not have fallen on them. β
Lulunaka turned to look at Julius. Behind Lulunaka was a blazing fire, and she stood there, with the fire as a backdrop, her smile unsettling Julius.
"Will the old die first, or the young, or the strong first, and then the second? Who will survive?" said Lulunaka, then tilting her head as if she had almost forgotten something, "No, that's not the final result. Whoever holds that rotting head will eventually die with rotten flesh and disease. It's a pity to die before you get money that will make your next life worry-free. β
"It's cruel. Patin said.
"Something even crueler has happened here, Mr. Edgar. "I'm just picking up the remnants of pain that remain here and giving them a little bit to everyone alive." β
Lulunaka clapped her hands, seemingly not going to continue the conversation, "Alright, we've burned this place down, and it's a good thing, so let's get down to business." Thanks to Mr. Olga and Mr. Edgar for their assistance, this matter ended without getting out of control. As for you...... Julius. Lulunaka looked at Julius again, "You're barely passing, but you still have to work hard." β
