5. The Lonely Island Fire Sword
My face must have been very bad, and it made them tremble and tremble.
I said, "It is a felony to leave the fishing area without permission and endanger public property!" β
A fisherman (his name is Perrault) said, "We... Just lost. β
Another fisherman (his name is Wild Fruit) said: "The fog has spread, and we can't see the direction clearly, so..."
The third fisherman (his name was Sway) said: "We were hungry and cold, and we were almost eaten by demons, and we suffered a lot, and Jepier died!" He's dead! Oh my God, have mercy on us. β
I unleashed my telekinesis, and suddenly a sword stabbed at Perrault, and his blood spilled on the other two. Wild Fruit and Swei lost their souls, and I pierced Wild Fruit with another sword, which made Swei lie on the ground.
Sway said in a trembling voice: "For.... Why. β
I said, "Because they lied, get up, you didn't lie, you can live, I want you to remember this lesson." β
Sway hugged my legs, kissed my shoes, and stood up with a look like a tame dog.
I pointed to the first two men, they didn't bleed, they didn't die, everything they saw was just the result of the Mind Blade, and I used the Thought Blade to destroy their will in an instant, and let these three people experience the fear of death.
They were just ordinary humans, and they were in awe of me, so I was able to intimidate them like this, a trick that I didn't fully grasp to be as intimidating as Helsin.
Perrault and Wild Fruit were devastated, they still felt dead and needed to spend three days in this hypnotic state.
I asked Sway, "What happened when you came?" β
"We went ashore to see what good things were on the island, maybe we could sell them for money, you know, the Rangers of the Black Coffin are coming, and the market day is coming..."
"And then?"
"We were targeted by the big monster and we started running, but Perrault pulled out his gun and shot Pierre in the leg, I swear it's true, Perrault has always been very close to Pierre's wife, so... He was deliberately trying to kill Pierre. β
I tortured Sway with my telepathic blade, and he trembled like a reservoir dog, but he didn't change his words, so I killed Perrault, this time he was dead, not hallucinating.
It stands to reason that I'd need to hold a trial through the Rangers' internal body, but that process was too cumbersome and I really didn't have time to toss.
Sway became even more pitiful and uneasy.
I asked, "Go on." β
The black demon began to eat Pierre, and Pierre's screams continued for a long time. I scolded Perrault for bad retribution, and you are an angel who has made my words come true soon. We continued to flee, to the densest woods, but all of a sudden, those mutated wolves, horned wolves stared at us, and we shot and pong, ping-pong, it was useless!
At this time, a man saved us. She had a sword in her hand, and it burned with flames, driving away all the wolves and demons. β
I was surprised and asked, "A flaming sword?" β
Sway nodded and said, "Yes, she said that her name is Zhao Luo, and she came here to hunt for treasure, and we begged her to protect us, and she did." β
I asked, "Zhao Luo?" This... Who is she? She's not from the village, is she? It's an oriental name, like ancient China or..."
"Yes," said Sway, "and then she brought us here, it's this castle on the hill or something, it's amazing, I've lived here all my life, and I didn't think there was another castle here!" And there are treasures inside the castle. β
I said angrily: "What nonsense, what treasure? I ask you, is this island very close to the city of Weeping? β
"It's close," Sway said. β
"So, is this island part of Crying City?"
"Count... Right. β
"Forget the castle?"
Sway nodded, "Of course, you have the final say." β
I said, "Okay, this woman named Zhao Luo dares to break into the island belonging to the Wai Village, break into the castle belonging to the Wai Village, and want to take away the treasure belonging to the Wai Village?" You judge, does this woman have this power? Why did she do that? β
"Yes, she shouldn't have done that," Sway said. β
I said, "Okay, you can now go back to the boat with the wild fruit, and the road is safe." β
Sway asked, "My lord, are you going to.... Is it to find treasure? β
I said, "I'm here to stop that female thief from stealing something that belongs to our Weeping City, it's a world away from robbing tombs and digging up treasures, you know?" β
My expression was so serious, my eyes were so clear, my head was so high, and there was something called justice in my words.
Justice will prevail.
Swelian claimed to be, picked up the wild fruit and left.
I hurried up the hill to the unknown castle.
It is a simple building, with no walls and towers, not even a single pattern or sharp corner. It was only very tall, about ten meters of walls, about fifteen meters high in the central tower, and all the houses were unadorned.
I vaguely felt that even the shadows were frozen in this castle, it was very old, like some kind of ghost ship or ghost structure that had come back from the dead.
I don't want to work overtime, I want to go home early, have dinner with Lamia, do something that should and shouldn't be done, and then read a collection of books, and after reading the book, I don't want to face this haunted castle, and the inexplicable Zhao Luo and monsters in the castle.
But Zhao Luo said that there was treasure inside.
Those who see it have a share, at least add two to five.
The door of the castle was open, and when I stepped into it, I immediately felt strange, this was a different space, and in a different space, I saw that Zhao Luo.
She is a seemingly thin woman in white, with black hair, blue-gray skin, and a pair of eyes like emeralds. There was a scar on her forehead, like an extra closed eye. She held the fiery sword in her hand and illuminated the door to the tower.
I shouted, "Hey! This is private territory! β
She said a few words of Oriental dialect, and I was at a loss, she sighed and said in a foreign tone: "This is no one's territory anymore. β
I replied, "It's not up to you, it's close to the city I've built." β
"This is another world," she said. β
I said, "That's the other world that belongs to us, too!" β
She asked, "Impudent man, I believe I have just saved your people, and now, please don't interrupt me, there is more trouble waiting for me to deal with here." β
I stepped forward, and she pointed her sword at the ground, and a wall of fireβthe exaggerated, flame-baring kindβblocked my path.
My face changed color, knowing that she was strong, and that the fire sword might be some kind of extremely advanced weapon. I didn't do any good with her.
I said, "We can divide the treasure equally, you know?" That's the Western parlance, 'The treasure that is shared with others is the real treasure.'" ββ
Zhao Luo sighed: "The happiness shared with others is the real happiness, and the treasures will only get less and less." Moreover, I don't believe you Westerners, you are all untrustworthy. β
I said, "Yes, you are very happy when you find the treasure, and I am also happy to share it with me. And I'm a very high-status person, and you will get a lot of benefits by joining forces with me. I can even arrange high official positions for you in my city. β
I'm not talking nonsense, I'm going to win her over, and in this time of suffering, humanity should help each other. She was a lone woman who needed shelter, and I felt I could help with that.
Zhao Luo said: "Mortals, this treasure is useless to you, now, please don't disturb me, I must concentrate on solving the puzzle of this castle." β
I was thick-skinned and she couldn't get rid of me, so I continued to ask, "What puzzle?" I'm the best at guessing puzzles. β
Zhao Luo said: "Those who kill their relatives are punished by their father and exiled, and they have been alone for a hundred years. The cursed man does not grow a single grass in his passing, and his crops wither to ashes. β
Although I had a shallow understanding of Cain, I immediately reacted and said, "Isn't that Cain?" β
Zhao Luo said, "Cain is the ancestor of the Western Blood Clan? Right? β
Western Bloodline? What does she mean? Is she also a Bloodline? I really can't understand the way of this convulsive world, and the blood clan seems to be more than mortals.
I said, "Exactly." β
Zhao Luo said: "So, then what? β
"What? Then he became a Bloodline. β
Zhao Luo dispersed the flames, the divine punishment that the blood clan feared, if she was the blood clan, why could she face the flames safely and fearlessly?
She said, "Please help me solve the mystery." β
I shouted, "How about seven or three?" β
"When you see that treasure, you'll change your mind," she said, "and now I'll agree to split it in half with you." β
I walked to her side, and she did not guard against me attacking her, but looked directly at the door of the tower, and kept her eyes peeled, she was stupid, and in this world you trust others so easily, you are asking for your own suffering, so don't blame me for the merciless action of Fishbone Longinus.
I rummaged through her bag on the floor while she was guarding the door, and there was nothing of value, only a change of clothes, which I sniffed, but it didn't smell much.
A little bit of a disappointment.
She said, "Are you Westerners so disgusting? β
I said angrily, "What do you mean by disgusting? I'm here to see if you're carrying a murder weapon. β
She pointed to the fire sword in her hand, I shut up, and I didn't say more than half a sentence.
The stone door bears those two words, but the relief shows a man and a woman escorting each other out of the garden and working in the fields under the scorching sun.
"It seems that blood is needed to open this door, and I've tried my blood," she said. β
I tried mine, scratched my finger, pointed at the door, and it didn't work.
She said: "The meaning of the relief and the text are not the same, you are familiar with the teachings of Cain, can you figure it out?" β
This picture is undoubtedly the story of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden.
Humans were banished from heaven for angering their Creator, and they had to work hard all day long to get food.
Cain was banished from the light because he angered Adam, and he could not feed on crops but choose blood.
I said, "The man in this picture compares Cain to Adam and seems to be dissatisfied with the Creator's punishment. β
