1-006 Debt Repayment and Dance
Ollie woke up frightened, awakened by the nightmare. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's like you've just been fished out of the water.
Look at the time, it's about two o'clock in the night. If what happened in the dream was the disaster that was about to occur, then there were about 7 hours left before the disaster. He wanted to avoid this catastrophe, not for the sake of the whole ship, but more for his brothers and sisters.
He opened the door and tried to tell the captain to avoid the red sea.
As soon as the door opened, little Acea stood outside the door like a ghost, silently, almost scaring Ollie into silly.
He touched his sister's head and prepared to leave.
My sister took her brother's hand and whispered, "We've already died once. ”
Ollie was really scared to pee this time.
"Why don't you let me tell them?" asked Ollie, puzzled as Elchea approached the side of the ship.
The sea breeze blew on Achea's long hair, and Ollie took off his coat and draped it over his sister.
"The location where the Seeds of Calamity spawn is fixed, but the objects attached to them can change. If the plant disappears, it will still attach itself to something else. Acea said.
"What the hell is going on with that thing, but that thing is going to bring disaster to us. We're all going to die, just like last time. And I don't know what the hell is going on with that thing. ”
"Cheats, cheats that break the rules. All I know is that, and if we don't find out in time, then not only us, but the lord of Torontoni will die soon. Jianzai's dad will also die, and mom will be sad. Emily's sister-in-law will die, and so will Grandma Dorane......"
Emily and Dolanie are the only two family members who are still connected to Yuris. When Elchea was seriously ill four years ago, Yullis wrote them a letter asking for help, and Emily and Doranie sold their jewelry to take care of Elchea. Until she fully recovered. As a result, Acea's knowledge of the other family members was limited to the two of them.
Ollie hugged Achea and leaned against the side of the boat. Elchea had fallen asleep.
Before dawn, Ollie shook Aicea awake. According to her, the moment of dawn is the moment when the seeds of disaster are formed. It must be disposed of as soon as possible, while the ship has plenty of time to escape.
In the hold, Elchea stared at the mushroom that was about to mutate, and it was still as usual.
Four eyes stared intently at the mushroom. When the sun rises, the mushrooms begin to mutate, just as before.
"That's it. "Just waiting for the mushroom to completely turn into the seed of calamity, Ollie did not hesitate to take action, burning the seed of calamity and freezing it.
Then, as fast as he could, he asked the captain to change course.
2 hours, two more precious hours. When I looked at the lookout, I saw a column of smoke soaring into the sky in the distance. The huge tsunami almost fell off the top of the boat in excitement when it calmed down less than 300 meters behind the ship.
The owner of the ship held Ollie's hand tightly and wept bitterly. And swear, as long as they can reach the New World safely. There is something to be told.
My sister was asleep, just like she had during the first storm.
The three took turns guarding. It wasn't until the evening that Aicea woke up.
Ollie was tempted to ask him what was going on today, but his curiosity was eventually suppressed.
Another month passed the calm and monotonous days.
These days, Achea and a couple of passenger dancers have been doing a strange dance. The dancer costume on her body was still salvaged from the sea, but it fit well, as if it was custom-made.
Every night, many people watch them practice, and it gradually becomes a sight.
The ship's food is running out. Fishing and seaweed fishing every day has become a must for all crew members and passengers. Fresh water has also become a problem. Laundry on board has long since stopped. Especially for women, not being able to take a shower for so long is simply a sin.
According to the nautical charts, they were about to sail into the archipelago.
Finally, the first island appeared in the lookout's view.
Having changed into a dancer's costume, Acea walked to the side of the boat and threw the glass beads she was holding into the air. Glass beads flutter in the air, refract the sunlight, and then fall into the sea, splashing in bursts of water.
Then she started dancing with the other dancers the dance they had been rehearsing for the past month. Although the people on the boat have seen it many times, this is the first time to enjoy it in the sun, and it is a different flavor.
The sea breeze blew and lifted the dancer's skirt. But none of them showed a lewd gaze, and in their eyes it seemed as if it were a sacred sacrifice, inviolable.
At the end of the dance, Achea once again sprinkled the glass beads in her hand and the red powder edge into the sea.
After doing this, she did not return to the cabin, and still stood quietly on the deck, as if waiting for something to come.
The wind had stopped, the currents seemed to be asleep, and almost everything around them had stopped, as if they had fallen asleep.
"An unknown object was found on the starboard side, and it was approaching rapidly...... It's personal. A voice from the lookout broke the silence.
Soon, this unknown person appeared in everyone's field of vision.
He was dressed in seaweed, had no hair, and white eyes, and looked a little scary. And the skin also takes on a pale blue color.
"We haven't seen such a dance since the death of the last Selayana more than a hundred years ago. I didn't expect to see it again in my lifetime, and it was still danced by humans, it's ironic. "It sounds like a young man, and although the language is very stiff, the sadness revealed is real.
Elchea gestured, and the visitor immediately responded with the same gesture.
Elchea spoke a language that no one had ever heard before. But the person who came replied in human language: May the sea god also take care of all beings.
At this time, countless waves suddenly broke off on the sea. After the waves passed, hundreds of people appeared who looked exactly like them. It's just that the color of the eyes is dark and light.
The adventurers in the back thought they were going to go to war and showed their weapons one after another. Not to be outdone, the other party is about to fight.
But Acea reached out to stop the adventurers' next move. In the same way, the first arrivals stopped the excesses of the newcomers. It seems that his status in this group is not low.
The next step is the negotiation between the two sides.
The man who came claimed to be Wilma Ramas Yadema Seramodilan...... The name is so long that I almost fall asleep when I hear it.
Finally his name was reduced by himself to Yadema.
Yadema took the glass beads that had been thrown into the sea by Achea from the hands of the people beside her, and said, "This is your offering? If you have any requests or deals, please come with us to the island to negotiate. Please put. ”
There is not even an opening greeting, and the direct cut to the topic may not have the word hypocrisy in these people's dictionaries, or maybe they don't have dictionaries at all.
The people on the ship have long regarded the four brothers and sisters as saviors, and they will obey unconditionally no matter what.
At this time, the wind rises again on the surface of the sea, and the sea water also begins to surge.
Yadema led the way, and what was even more amazing was that the currents and winds were in line with his course, as if they were guiding the direction of the ship.
The island ahead was becoming clearer and clearer, and it was a very large island. You can also see a tall mountain peak covered with dense forests. If you don't have a chart, you'll mistakenly think you've arrived on land.
The boat dropped anchor not far from the beach.
Achea arrived on the island with Los Angeles, Ollie, Suna, the owner, the captain, and two sailors in two lifeboats. Acea has become the leader of the team.
On the beach, there are some wooden grass huts. According to Acheia, these are slums and can only live by the sea. And the nobility among them, and even the royal family, do not even live on the island, but in palaces in the sea. But the purpose of this trip was to obtain the fresh water and food that were urgently needed at the moment, and there was no need to contact high-ranking people.
In a modest straw hut, Yadema was waiting for them.
The hut was surrounded by rusty iron weapons, and even a handful of long hairs with a lot of dry seaweed wrapped around it. It looks like they were all salvaged from the bottom of the sea.
There are also a lot of metal products around, such as broken pots, shovels, iron rods, etc. The sea tribe is very interested in this metal product.
Since you want to get something, you have to pay something, which is an equivalent exchange or transaction.
The goods on Achea's side were the salvaged jewels, but they did not appeal to them as intended. Yadema excused the island's lack of resources to bring more fresh water and food.
There is a set price, there must be a counteroffer. When she took out the sea poison fish bone, although Yadema did not let go, her eyes and small movements had betrayed him, and she was obviously impressed. This thing impressed him more than jewelry. All this could not escape the eyes of Los Angeles, and he began to lobby again.
"You also know that sea poison fish bones are important weapons materials. Especially when used for poisoned arrows. For the survival of a small tribe, weapons made from the bones of sea poisonous fish are key. After years of annexation between tribes, the sea poisonous fish is now almost extinct in this large area of the sea. You have to go far to catch it. These words were told to Los Angeles by Achea beforehand. No one could have imagined that these seemingly useless fish bones could have a vital role in the life and death of a small tribe.
"Even ......" Los Angeles was ready to start adding weight, under the instructions of Elchea. "The Sea Clan's ability to control the fire element is very poor, and you are destined to be completely unable to smelt metal. That's why you envy the metal weapons on land. Looking at the decorations around me, I can now appreciate what you want to pursue. Even if it's some scrap copper and rotten iron fished from the bottom of the sea. ”
