Chapter 51: A Review of the Past
Huhuhu~
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sound of sailing resounded all around. Zakhan, the second butler of Birham, received an order from Birham the day after we left, and has been moving around us. In this way, when they saw our distress signal, they went straight to the course.
In this way, we were already on the deck, basking in the sun. Zana kept walking back and forth, bandaging those who were injured. The fat man flipped his backpack with a smile on his face, bulging, as if it was loaded with a lot of things. Just as the "loot" was being sorted out, a yellowed notebook suddenly appeared.
Hey! The fat man was shocked, glanced at the open notebook a few times, and muttered: "Why are they all traditional Chinese characters, I can't read them anyway, just throw them away", said, the fat man made a look like he was going to throw the notebook into the sea, I was idle, and immediately waved my hand and said: "Show me".
I took the notebook, there was a familiar feeling, the faint smell of ink seemed to have smelled somewhere, I opened the notebook, only to see that the top of the first page was clearly written: 1647, February 3, yin.
Here's a big part of the description:
It had been two years since the death of Commander Li Zicheng, and it was just in the midst of domestic turmoil and my friends were about to return to China. I still have a lot of expectations in my heart for this unknown country. Things are not as good as we imagined, the domestic war, I didn't expect it to affect the surrounding ferries. We waited at the ferry for three days, but we still didn't see a decent sailboat. I consulted with John and waited for the day. At noon on the fourth day, a miracle struck. There were seven people on one of the ships that appeared, and surprisingly, they were all of John's countrymen, Frenchmen, and one of them was a woman, who was very beautiful. After that, for the rest of the day, we prepared a lot of food and water one after another, and it seemed that the seven foreigners had somewhere. As for what it was, John and I didn't ask.
Seeing this, I silently sorted out the thoughts in my head, and breathed a long sigh of relief, it turned out that John and those seven people met like this, with some curiosity in my heart, I continued to look down.
1647, February 4, fine.
This morning we began our voyage in earnest, and before that there was one more person in the group of nine, Father Warley, a good friend of the missionary John. After a brief discussion, they agreed to Huali's request, and in an instant, the team suddenly became ten people. On the way to sail, after talking with them, it turned out that the seven of them were the legendary "gold diggers", the leader turned out to be the woman, and the remaining six young men, most of them wanted to try their luck, children of poor families, at that time, Europe was also going on a large-scale war.
After a whole day of sun, the time passed suddenly, and it felt like nothing was going on, and John and Warry seemed to have forgotten their identities, and every night, more or less began to contact the woman, and I was alone to witness what was happening around me every day, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
February 20, 1647, overcast.
The simple life lasted for half a month, and on this day, an accident suddenly happened. On this day, the wind had been howling since the morning, and the waves were rolling all over the sea, and our sailboat would have broken apart if it had not been relatively strong. And in front of us, there was a whirlpool of rapids, and for some unknown reason, the only woman on board, Selene (as John told me later), insisted on sailing ahead, despite the persuasion of John and anyone else in Warley.
There was no way, the six men who followed her did not dare to disobey her will, so we could only watch ourselves follow this adventurous and bold woman, and let the boat continue to sail into the rapids. As a result, the situation was even worse than we thought, the boat entered the whirlpool, and was suddenly shattered by a majestic pressure, and we fell uncontrollably into the water, but fortunately the rapids did not last long, lying on the planks, drifting all the way down the river, and we were surprised to see that in front of us, there were suddenly three islands with horns.
I see! I looked into the distance, but I was chewing on the words in my notebook, and according to the description in the notebook, it was clear that they had also encountered the island we had just encountered.
"Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you?" Noticing the change in my expression, Zhang Yu walked straight towards me and asked softly. And the fat man also took advantage of the situation to surround him, "What is it talking about, which makes you look so fascinated."
I slowly put the notebook in my hand, looked at the eyes of the two of them, and suddenly replied without hesitation: "This notebook is likely to reveal the story behind the ancestors of these seven vampires, and some unknown secrets."
So magical! The fat man glanced at me in disbelief, and I immediately pointed to the notebook, isn't it, I will know after reading it, in order to make the fat man and Zhang Yu clear, I read it gently.
Seeing the island that suddenly appeared, it was really a survival escape. And the woman named Selene seemed very calm, and there were other things in her surprised eyes. In this way, we gathered what was left to eat, and in the end we found that it could only last for three days, God was undoubtedly beating the dice, and our lives were being tested.
I felt that my whole body was very tired, and I was just about to rest. The accident happened suddenly, and in the middle of the entire island, a monstrous wave suddenly lifted, and the island under our feet was sinking inexplicably. At first, I thought it was a huge monster, but it was only later that I realized that there was an island in the middle of the three islands.
An island larger than the three surrounding islands suddenly appeared in front of us, and whether we believe it or not, it is a fact. We wandered to the island, but helplessly saw that around the huge island, there were countless small boats, all of which were disheveled natives, and when we saw ten of us, something suddenly appeared in our eyes, and without any accident, all ten of us were tied up by these natives.
Hearing this, the fat man raised his head and laughed, "It turns out that those people, who are also unlucky, have met the natives, I really don't know what danger they will encounter below."
And in my heart, I silently counted the total number of people, it stands to reason that there is one person missing, that is, the ancestor of the vampire hunter, should appear soon, so who will he be, and how to transform into the role of a vampire hunter? (To be continued.) )
