"It's really admirable." He pretended to be moved and slapped his palms twice, "When I saw you when I was in the Western Continent, I thought you had woken up, but as a result, did you hurry over after hearing the news?" The disgust in his eyes was so undisguised that the girl could see it clearly.

"What do you mean?" Noah asked coldly.

"Oh?" After looking at the other party's seemingly non-fake eyes, Heinrich was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more disdainful, and sighed with a sneer, "Is this connection so profound?" ”

"But—how did you get to this island?" He said, and looked around casually, "Oh, I forgot, little Noah is a coward, and when he came here, he must have seen my men slaughtering the village here, so he couldn't help but come to save people." ”

"Ah, that's—" he sneered as he touched his thin red lips with his fingers, "want to save the world?" ”

"But who are you to save?" The man smiled playfully.

Noah's aura became more and more cold, "Heinrich, what do you want?" ”

"What do you want?" The black-haired man tugged at the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "Of course it is - after crushing you to slag one by one, you will become a sea overlord." ”

"Don't think about it." The girl said coldly. Although she didn't understand the conversation between them, it didn't affect her ability to notice the depression that Noah couldn't ignore after listening to Heinrich's words.

"Huh." Heinrich only glanced at her faintly, "This is your captain?" Why, it seems, she listens to you? It seems that you are worthy of your mother's son, and your methods are surprisingly similar. ”

"Heinrich! You shut up! Noah had never been so angry, "It's a big deal, let's fight!" ”

"Can I shut up and cover it up?" Heinrich sneered, "I don't want to fight you today, I just came back from the Western Continent, and I have to worry about the fatigue of the sailors." He deliberately set his eyes on An Ningning and paused, "It's not like you, you always like to meddle in things." ”

With that, he turned away coldly.

……

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

The village chief held Frank's hand tightly, which was a little helpless, and the little fat man's round face turned red. An Ning was pleased to sweep his gaze away from these rescued villagers one by one, and Ives quietly looked at the surroundings after being burned by fire, and couldn't help but sigh with some emotion, "Heinrich's methods are even more ruthless than any previous massacre. ”

Her mind moved, something quickly flashed through her mind, but she didn't catch it.

"But—your village is so hidden, how did the pirates discover you and decide to slaughter it?" An Ning was suspicious.

The village chief, who was already a little old, sighed heavily, "It's not to get our statue of the Holy Maiden. ”

"Statue of the Holy Maiden?" Avis was curious.

"Yes, this is the statue of the Holy Maiden who redeemed us from the war." The village chief nodded, as if he was a little reluctant to say too much, thought for a while, and said, "Well, I'll have someone take you to see it." ”

The way to the statue is a long mountain road, and the woods on both sides are very quiet, and the fierce roars of wild beasts can occasionally be heard.

"I'm afraid Noah thought it was a simple slaughter village, and didn't know that there was a statue of a saint that even Heinrich coveted."

Ives said casually.

She was a little worried, "Noah's injuries are not well this time, and now he has a fever, there are no doctors on this island, and there is still such a long route to reach the nearest coastal city, if he doesn't get better soon, it will be bad." ”

"It's okay, Noah has always been in good health, just have a good rest. And Cyril is also on the ship, if there is anything wrong, he can be completely safe with the sailors. Ives shrugged and thought, "Hey, woman, you know what?" Hathaway actually has good fighting skills. I saw it the night before when the pirates you routed tried to attack our fleet. To be honest, with her and Cyril here, Noah just had to recuperate. ”

"Well, Noah just eat more." Frank's honest voice also said, "I deliberately put a lot of snacks on his bedside before I went to the island." ”

An Ning was helpless, "Frank, believe me, no one is sick or injured, and eating a lot of snacks will be fine." She caught a glimpse of the little fat man who wanted to refute it, and immediately added, "Oh, of course—dear, you're an exception. ”

Ives looked down and smirked.

"Three, that's it in front." The villagers bowed their heads and said respectfully.

"Aren't you going along?" An Ning Ning was puzzled.

"No, ordinary villagers are not qualified to pay homage to the appearance of the Holy Maiden. I'll just wait for you here. ”

"It's so mysterious." Avis muttered.

In fact, the statue is quite mysterious, and they saw the huge stone pillars that covered it in the open space, almost after passing through a forest again.

It was just a simple mechanism - so that the statue of the Virgin would not be easily visible to anyone who intruded into the place.

Frank's chubby little hand pressed on a small protrusion under the pillar, and the entire pillar split in two from the middle and turned backwards, revealing the true face inside.

"Wow-" Frank whispered, "it's beautiful." ”

Ives raised his eyebrows, unceremoniously brushed aside the little fat man who was completely blocking his vision, and then he was also stunned.

It was the appearance of a young girl, with clear eyes, slightly pursed lips, light blonde curls well groomed at the back of her head, and a flower crown on her head.

Beautiful, playful, and with a touch of holiness.

It's hard not to think of the beauty of the flower elves that doesn't exist in the world.

I don't know what kind of gem was found in this stone statue, but it was so lifelike that all three of them looked at the statue of the Holy Maiden for a long time.

"Is there really such a beautiful person in the world?" Ives sighed.

"It's supposed to be a goddess." Frank thought for a moment, "Didn't the village chief say she let them get redemption from the war?" That should be the goddess of peace or something. ”

"Eh, wait, look at that necklace she's wearing!" An Ning Ning took a closer look, "It doesn't seem to be carved in stone, it's a real necklace, and I don't know why, I always feel that the pattern on the hanging box is a little familiar." ”

Avis sighed and leaned closer, trying to pick up the necklace - the long-term weathering had made the necklace somewhat stick to the stone statue, and he didn't move, and was about to let go, but he heard a very slight click, and the charm box on the necklace was opened.
