Chapter 0319: Lonely Island Crypt (1)
Sara had almost lost her mental support and fell to the ground, and by the time she woke up, she was already lying on her couch, Hannah holding a glass of sugar water beside her. "What's the matter, how could you faint. ”
Anger made the young man stand up, still a little dizzy, and he reached out and pushed the outstretched hand away, and roared, "Murderer, you are responsible for Mrs. Carr's death. ”
Hannah shrugged. "I gave them a large sum of money to get Mrs. Carr's family to give up the lawsuit, and now they have gone to an unknown place to live a pretty good life, and think about it, they would have to fight for a long time without this money. ”
The wife in front of him became strange, hideous and terrifying, Sara was almost stunned by what the girl said, he did not see any guilt or apology on the other party's face, but instead shook his head, picked up the coat on the sofa, and Sara shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't live with a murderer. ”
He went to the Sheriff's Office and filed a lawsuit as a litigant, which shocked the Sheriff's Office, and someone was going to sue his wife, until Hannah was brought to court, and everyone believed that it was not a joke.
When the judge convicted Hannah, the girl confessed, but it was too late and she had to go to jail, and before Sarah could ask to have a baby and serve her sentence, the judge agreed.
Back in the apartment, his heart was quite heavy, and he immediately sent a letter to Tang Ning, who was far away in the Black Iron Continent, he was going to resign from all his current positions and titles, he kept his true nature in the face of money and power, but his family was hurt by this, and he was unwilling to bear it.
The battle went fairly well, and although the orcs had slowed down their offensive in order to negotiate for leverage, it was now fully recovered, and it would not be long before the defeated Giroud could be seen.
Giroud will never sit still, there are always many ways to change the tide of the war, and what are the forces that Giroud can use, he has to make a simple statistic, and then get ahead of the other side to solve all the uncertainties that could change the situation.
But the letter gave him a headache, and Sara left from her position, it was not easy to find a helper who could replace the young man, and it seemed that she had to return to the Eternal Continent once again to solve the problem about this good helper first.
Giroud was indeed looking for new helpers, and of course they could have killed him as well, because they had the ability to do so, and he would never have been in the company of these arrogant guys if it weren't for the crisis.
The road is quite far away, there is a big island close to a thousand kilometers away from the Black Iron Continent, those helpers live on this island, orcs go to sea by boat, it is really not a very pleasant thing to sail long distances, seasickness, disease, etc. are all threats, because orcs do not like to eat fruits, they are only interested in meat, so they cannot obtain certain vitamins to resist some of the diseases brought by ocean navigation.
Holding a somewhat broken orange, the peel peeled off, Giroud sat on the bow of the boat, his face ugly, and he could not count how many times he vomited along the way. "Damn fruit, I don't know how those humans put up with this terrible smell, it's poison compared to meat. ”
He put the already spoiled orange peel in his mouth, and then spat it out in a big gulp, and the deck was littered with his masterpiece and smelled unpleasant.
He endured and ate some orange fruit, then leaned on the side of the ship and looked at the endless sea, took out the nautical charts to check, and the dizziness made him look at the nautical charts was also a kind of torment, delineating the current position, Giroud angrily thrashed the side of the ship. "Damn, where the hell is that island. "Something went wrong with the map, and the current voyage was completely a blind drift.
Desperately slumped on the deck, throwing the remaining oranges aside. "I've had enough, now we're back. "He'll have to think of something else.
Then a crew member came and exclaimed, "Look, sir, it's an island, and we see land." "It's been almost a month of continuous sailing without seeing land, which is exciting for anyone.
Giroud slammed to his feet, and the long-lost land appeared. "Hurry up, let's lean over and rest on it before we make a decision. ”
The chartered ship had been damaged by several high waves and had to be stopped for repairs, and there were many sick crew members on board who needed to recuperate.
The ship quickly approached the island, circled around it, and found the best place to land, and when the ship came to shore, Giroud was the first to climb onto the island and lie on the ground. "It feels awesome. ”
The rest of the crew also landed quickly and then began to recuperate on the shore, the ship lacked fresh food and fruit, and most importantly, fresh water, in the hope that the island would find fresh water to drink.
Now Giroud has used supernatural powers to transform into a human form, and the captain on the side is allocating manpower, ten people are repairing the ship's damage, and then the rest of the people have to find the resources they need.
"We don't have enough people, so you have to move. The captain walked over to Giroud, who had fallen to the ground and closed his eyes to rest, and said helplessly.
"I'm not going to move anymore, I've got to get some rest, so you'll have to settle these things up to you, and I've paid a lot of money. 'Giroud doesn't want to move a step now.
The captain had no choice but to give up and return to the ship to repair the ship, and as for the few remaining people to go into the island to collect some resources, it was better than no one to go.
By the end of the evening, the sky was overcast and it was clear that a rainstorm was coming, which meant that the island's beaches were not safe and it was important to secure the boat and find a safe place before the rainstorm came.
Giroud got up, stared at the sky, regretted his voyage, complained about the damn weather, and went deep into the island with the crew who were going to take shelter from the rain.
Concerns have been raised. "Our partners haven't come back yet, and if we leave, they can't find here, they can't abandon them. ”
The captain came up with a way to mark them with some special materials, and then the crew would follow the markers to find their place to take refuge from the rainstorm.
The vegetation on the island is lush, but now it has become a burden for the people, who have to use their knives to find their way through the vegetation, which is often a sign of danger, and the possibility of encountering poisonous snakes or something like that.
Giroud, who was following behind, was a little breathless. "Hell, can't you hurry up, I can't stand everything here. He stepped forward and violently pushed away the crew who were opening the way, and stretched out his hand, blue thunder and lightning thundered, the vegetation on the ground was destroyed by electricity, and a wide road appeared, as the leader of the orcs, he was a shaman, as good as Aluvik.
The crew were stunned, supernatural forces they had heard of but had never seen, and the captain excitedly said, "Mr. Giroud, it's great, go on." ”
Giroud continued to use the shaman's power of thunder and lightning to open the way forward, but the complex terrain made the power of thunder and lightning a little difficult, and the difficulties made him lose patience, and the blue thunder and lightning in his hands roared, and when the huge blue electricity burst out, the surrounding vegetation was completely destroyed, and even some small mounds were lifted.
"What's that?" someone saw something strange in the large clearing, what seemed to be the bare walls of the building.
Giroud walked up and used the power of lightning to shake off the dust that covered the walls, which were buried deep in the ground and could not be discovered without being swept away by the power of lightning.
There was a gap in the wall, it was pitch black, it smelled strange, it wasn't a foul smell, what the hell was this, and now he found that everyone was in a building complex, where the terrain was potholed because there were buildings buried underneath, and the structure above the complex was a space similar to earthwork, which was the main reason for the potholes.
The rainstorm came at the right time, and the bean-sized raindrops fell to the ground, which soon turned the dust into muddy water, and quickly gathered into a pool of water in the potholed terrain, and everyone was quite embarrassed by the sudden heavy rain.
"Let's hurry up and get shelter from the rain. "It has been proposed that
Giroud had had enough of everything on this trip, and the bad weather was frustrating, and he looked at the narrow entrance in the pitch black as he slipped in, followed by the crew behind him.
Using the power of thunder and lightning to illuminate the darkness, the majestic rain made the outside quite noisy and distracting, he looked back behind him, this passage led to the bottom, there are some steps, there is no end, this seems to be the passage into the building, here listening to the noisy heavy rain is better than to go into the deepest part of the rest.
Continuing along the passage, a step down to the ground appeared, made of marble to ensure that it would not be damaged after years of being buried in the ground, and the steps were quite wide, and the walls were carved with some intricate patterns, which could not be seen from the past, but resembled some kind of witchcraft.
Related to supernatural powers, Giroud, as a member of the mysterious organization, has a lot of knowledge in this area, observing those patterns, which is related to the witchcraft of the curse system, this is not a city, it is likely to be a tomb, and those witchcraft are used to protect this tomb, who will be buried here, the heavy rain makes it impossible to leave, and now inward exploration has become the only thing.
