Chapter 47: We Are All Stand-ins
Tang Ba blinked and looked dazed, "Witch...... What is it?"
"It's the wizard of the Great Witch of Chabu!" Ning Lu twisted the hair that drooped down his cheeks and said proudly, "I will definitely become the favorite witch of the Great Witch of Qiab, just like the Witch of Lan Ge." ”
Lan Ge!
Tang Ba frowned imperceptibly, thought for a moment before continuing to ask, "Isn't Lan Gewu dead?"
"It's because Lan Gewu is dead, so I don't want adult sacrifices in the future. Ning Lu exclaimed as if he suddenly understood something: "O god, you don't even know why the Great Witch wants to sacrifice, do you?"
Donba shook her head, of course she didn't know, but there was an answer right away.
"Ning Lu, you are so good at telling me!"
"Of course. Ning Lu beckoned to Tang Ba, "You come here, I'll just tell you." After saying that, he rolled his eyes at the other girls.
After listening to Ning Lu's narration, Tang Ba understood that Chabu was the head of the witches in the entire Devis Continent, and Lan Ge was the first disciple of the Great Witch of Chabu, and this status was really above ten thousand people under one person, which was similar to what Tang Ba had speculated before.
But as for why Lan Ge fled from the Wu Tower, Ning Lu was not very clear, she only said that there was a misunderstanding between Chabu Dawu and Lan Ge, and Lan Ge ran away in a fit of rage.
Chabu searched for many years and finally had the trace of Lan Ge and sent someone to pick it up but failed, since then Chabu came up with the idea of collecting sacrifices in various tribes, the purpose is to find Lan Ge, until three years ago Chabu learned the news of Lan Ge's death and was heartbroken, so the sacrifice was changed to a minor, as for the reason Ning Lu did not know.
It turns out that the sacrifice is Lan Ge's stand-in!
This conclusion gave Tang Ba goosebumps, and it was really hard to evaluate the entanglement between Chabu and Lan Ge, and it was either Lan Ge who was too willful or Chabu had a problem with this between master and apprentice!
The bustling shouting outside the carriage interrupted Tang Ba's thoughts, and Ning Lu lifted the curtain and took a look, "Xiao Saiyi has arrived." ”
She had been familiar with the name "Little Saiyi" before, but she didn't remember where she had heard it.
Tang Ba looked out the car window past Ning Lu, the rows of uneven stone houses, large and small shops, the dazzling goods on the stalls and the non-stop shouting all reminded her that she had completely separated from the life of the primitive tribe, which made her feel like she had crossed again, but the customs and customs here were completely absent from her memories of her previous life.
Behind the good things there is always darkness.
On the corner of the street lay a child covered in blood, an unkempt and unclothed woman was protected by a group of men in fine clothes who were punched and kicked, and a dozen men were strung together with ropes around their necks, and their hands and feet were also bound and knelt on the ground for passers-by to trade......
Tang Ba silently opened his eyes, the situation of the slaves here was not as comfortable as living in the tribe.
The horned beast car continued to move forward without stopping, and the view suddenly opened up after passing the crowded "business district".
Tang Ba's eyes widened instantly, she blinked in disbelief, there were boats, so many boats!
That doesn't mean there are other continents besides Davis!
The shock was followed by a clear understanding.
In her previous life, there were several continents on the earth, and it was not a matter of course. It's just that she's always lived in the tribe and never thought about it, and she really thinks that Davis is all there is to this world!
It turned out that the small Seyi was a ...... O port town!
Seeing this thing again after many years really made Tang Ba feel fresh, but this ship was much simpler than the one in her previous life, and it looked more like a multi-sailing ship in the Age of Discovery...... Stick figures.
I didn't expect there to be a ...... here
Tang Ba thought for a moment before recalling that word - LOGO!
"What is this place?" asked Damba knowingly.
"You don't know anything. Although Ning Lu was a little disgusted, he still explained: "This is called Haikou." ”
Haikou!
Tang Ba suddenly remembered who had mentioned it to him, it was the black cloak that rescued her from Zang Wolf three years ago!
The black cloak that claimed to be a witch too...... It can't be Chab, right?
As soon as this idea came out, Tang Ba rejected it, for the simple reason that if the black cloak was Chabu, she should have taken her to the Witch Tower at that time!
But......
Tang Ba touched the small black jar inside through the backpack, if it was really Lan Ge's ashes, then the black cloak was the wrong person, because she was not Lan Ge's child but just a stand-in. There is no need for Xia Wu to lie on this issue, since Xia Wu saw the corpse of Lan Ge's child with his own eyes, it must not be wrong!
On January 25, 3, the long journey finally came to an end, and the destination was the city of Davis.
The messenger had boarded the windows of the car, cutting off the sacrifices from the outside world.
When entering the city, you can still hear the noise outside the carriage, although the sound of entering the carriage becomes muffled and faint, but you can still feel the breath of life, but it doesn't take long to hear the "click" sound of the horned beasts stepping on the ground and the "rumbling" sound of the wheels rolling, and nothing else.
This time, even Ning Lu was silent, and eight pairs of almost identical eyes in the quiet carriage looked at each other and drooped in unison.
A series of hissing cries from the horned beasts were unusually loud in the silence, and the car stopped.
"Please get out of the car, the sacrifices. The messenger opened the door, and the heat and the harsh sunlight that poured into the carriage made all the girls squint, and everyone got used to it, and then they came down one by one.
The first moment she was down-to-earth, she went to look for the horned beast cart that Kanga was riding, but all she could see was a tail, and the car had turned towards the rear of a building.
Although I had a brief reunion with Kanga during the break, I didn't see each other after a few tribes, and I thought I could say goodbye but I didn't expect to be so caught off guard.
Tang Ba looked at the direction where the horned beast car disappeared and hesitated, and it was a burst of exclamations that made her divert her gaze.
A tall building made of stone stood tall from the same place where the car in which Kanga was riding.
If it was Tang Ba in his previous life, he would have disdained this, but he was used to seeing the low tent and seeing it again...... After the more than a dozen storey "buildings", I had to marvel.
The "building" with the spire of the column extends to a circle of balconies that resemble no guardrails on each floor, and if this is counted as one floor, there are nine floors, and the overall appearance looks somewhat like a water tower, but it is thicker and the appearance is not as smooth as that of a water tower.
This should be the legendary Witch Tower!
