Chapter 22: Arrested
The four of them crossed the path and came to the place where Matthias held the fire ceremony. [with _ dream]ā
At this time, Matthias's voice was heard: "Brothers, listen to me. In the outside world, the outside is just nobodies. But here, outside are all Solari, the Sun Queen's people. There's a reason she brought us together. I know you all want to be free, I know you all want to escape this place. If we want to be free, we must release our great queen. Queens, like us, are prisoners. If we can free the Queen, we will set ourselves free! ”
Following Matthias's point, the four also saw Sanmantha tied to a wooden post, with firewood piled at her feet. It seems that the fire ritual is ready to be carried out at any time.
Laura couldn't help but rush out several times, but was pulled back by Dugu Nameless, signaling the other party to be calm.
Matthias continued to bewitch, "This girl, she has the blood of this land in her veins, and she may be the key. Observe the flame of the ritual and you will know the truth! ”
The four of them heard Matthias say this, which showed that the other party only valued the bloodline of Sanmantha's RB people, so they held a fire sacrifice ceremony with the attitude of giving it a try. Apparently he was not able to "communicate" with the Sun Queen as he claimed to his men in Solari. The so-called "communication" with the Sun Queen should be just a set of statements that he researched on his own through various ruins and materials on the island.
Matthias' voice continued: "Himiko, you were, you are, and you are...... Please talk to us! ”
At this moment a man with a torch came up the steps to Matthias, and walked to the pyre, where he was about to light the fire.
Laura bends her bow and shoots her opponent. However, Dugu Nameless stopped Laura again and persuaded: "Laura, do you believe me? Your friend will be fine, she is the heir. I could sense a faint magical response in her. ”
Dugu Wuming knows the plot very well, and of course he knows that Shanmantha will not be burned to death, so what he said is basically correct. However, not all of them are true. Because there is no so-called magic reaction on Sanmantha. It's just to increase the credibility of Laura's three people, Dugu Nameless deliberately said so. They can't tell the truth anyway.
Maybe it's because he was taken away by Dugu Nameless for a while before, Ross and Greene surprisingly didn't refute it. And Laura, after struggling for a while, chose to believe in Dugu's nameless judgment.
"Get ready, brothers." Matthias said, "Our queen is about to speak!" Talk to us! Himiko! Speak to us through the flames! ”
Apparently on the firewood, Solari's people also added accelerants. Otherwise, it would not have burned so vigorously in a short period of time. As the flames burned, Sanmantha struggled, but her mouth was wrapped in a strip of white cloth, and she couldn't scream.
However, in just a few seconds, a strong wind blew down from the sky, and the originally vigorous fire was completely extinguished in an instant.
Facts have proved that both Matthias's desperate gamble and his nameless "so-called inference" are correct. Seeing that her friend Shanmansa was safe and sound, Laura finally let go of her heart a little.
She ...... That's what we're looking for. Matthias said. My brethren, we will be born again soon! Take her to the coronation room. Finally Matthias commanded.
Seeing Matthias leave with Sanmantha, the people on the field gradually dispersed. And Laura, who was bent on keeping up, was once again stopped by Dugu Nameless.
I only heard Dugu Wuming say: "Let's go separately for the four of us, Ross and Green, you go over there, there are three people imprisoned there, it should be the crew of your ship." Laura and I went with me to save Sanmantha. ”
"Three people, then it's probably Reyes, Alex and Jonah." Laura said.
"How do you know?" However, after Ge Lin asked, he thought about how the other party knew, and it was obviously another magical ability.
So Dugu Wuming saw Ge Lin's expression, so he didn't explain, but said: "After you rescue them, go to the beach immediately to see if there are any boats that can be used, and if not, use the walkie-talkie to notify us." We then use the transmitter to send out a distress signal on the side of the tower. If the boat is not a big problem, then we will meet up at the beach and leave the island together. ”
After speaking, the four of them divided into two groups, one in one direction.
Originally, Solari's gang was indeed outnumbered, but under the killing of Dugu Nameless and Laura and others for more than a day, as well as with the assistance of the Storm Guardian, most of them were killed and injured at this time.
However, although there were not as many obstacles along the way as before, the firepower was at least raised by a notch. Fortunately, Ross and Greenen were not there at this time, and Dugu Nameless and Laura were more comfortable coping with it.
No matter how the opponent's firepower is suppressed, Dugu Nameless can just pass with a "soil ability" or "wood ability", no matter how many people there are, no matter how powerful the firepower, it will be in vain.
The two of them came to the so-called coronation room along the way, and in the passage, they actually met the Dr. Whitman.
"Laura, you're still alive." Dr. Whitman had a cautious expression, not sure if he was guarding against Solari's men or Laura and the others.
Dugu Wuming knew that Whitman was a despicable person at heart, and he didn't want to see the other party's clumsy performance, so he immediately grabbed the other party's neck without waiting for the two to speak, lifted it high in one fell swoop, and "gently" pressed the other party on the wooden board to restrain Whitman.
Laura analyzed from the current situation, although she did not suspect that Whitman was a ghost, but in fact, she had never trusted the other party very much, and when she saw Dugu Wuming doing this, she did not say anything to stop it.
"Say what you really think in your heart, stop struggling, release your a**!" Dugu's nameless words were like whispers, low in tone and slow in speed, like a spell, burrowing into Whitman's mind.
"My ex-wife was an idiot, she cheated on me. It was her insistence on divorcing me that put me in such a situation. Whitman was dizzy as if he had been drugged, and slowly told all kinds of intimate things in his heart. I put all my money into this operation, and I firmly believe that I can earn back tenfold. She chose to divorce, and then she would not get any benefit. ”
"She divorced you not for your own interests, but because you have only focused on your career for many years and ignored the other party, otherwise she would not have been with you when you were still unknown." Whitman's divorce case has been widely reported in the media. There are not a few people who know the inside story, and of course Laura knows it.
