Chapter 40: Inertia

"We're spending more and more time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The countess glanced at Magellan, who was carefully removing a small lizard from the top of his head, a small creature whose brilliant colors made him feel like a formidable enemy.

"Camel is a man who likes to make plans before he does it, and although he is always slow and clumsy in the event of an accident, I don't think there will be anything in this cave that can affect him. ”

In other words, this gentle gradual curve is a trap. ”

There was not a hint of surprise in the countess's words.

"Usually the real trap is most effective if it's left at the end, but if it's someone on the other side who knows the idea, it may be more effective to change the strategy. ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be involved in your game with the camels," the countess smiled and put her hand on Miss Betty's back, who now looked like a leisurely tourist, strolling through the sunlit garden instead of walking in a dark cave, "but the next time you step into the trap of the gods, I won't be able to save you." ”

"There won't be a next time. ”

Magellan looked at the dense and flawed traps in the cave in front of him, and put the lizard in his hand on the ground.

It was an animal that was not poisonous, and its bright colors were nothing more than a bluff, and as Magellan had long guessed, from across the ocean. The camel prepared enough food in the trap to keep the lizard alive enough to meet Magellan.

"It's hard to move. ”

Magellan's mind flashed through the traps he had dismantled along the way, and even the deliberately created flaws were carefully designed – typical camel style.

"The next trap will be a snake. ”

"Meow. ”

Miss Betty jumped lightly to the ground, stretching out a small front paw and placing it on the back of the lizard as it tried to escape.

"You guess?"

"I guess. ”

"Guess where the real trap is?"

Magellan shook his head.

That trap will not be in the end, because both Camel and Magellan understand that no trap in the world can fool a defensive man.

So that trap will only appear when Magellan's heart is most relaxed, when he thinks that it is just an ordinary trap in front of him.

That would only have happened when Magellan had just been convinced that there were only simple traps in the cave, and if he had placed them further back, he would have suspected that there was a real trap, and the camels knew about it.

All the pitfalls before that can be ignored, then the conclusion is obvious: the real traps are in the nearest place.

"Maybe the next one will be. ”

The countess smiled and took a step back: "If you don't run into the curse of the gods, I can save you back." ”

"Hopefully ......"

......

The camel, under the cover of a menacing expression, unscrupulously observed this place that he was familiar with.

The old house, like all traditional Emunquet houses, has small, fortress-like square windows facing the city's market, which doesn't close late at night, and all the people who eat here are mostly restless.

There was a restless air in the air.

"Does your solution really work?"

The Count looked at him with the eyes of a hereditary nobleman, and then said in a deep voice, "I have done everything I can. ”

"I guess these people weren't happy with that answer. ”

The Count turned and saw a stout man walking towards the two.

"Where are you from?"

The camel glared at him with the eyes of a dead man.

"Hey, don't do that, I just want to ask, have you seen these two people?"

The strong man pulled out two crumpled pieces of paper from his pocket, on which were drawn a man with his entire face hidden under a hood, and a man with a beard.

"Yes. ”

"Hah!"

The strong man laughed and sat down beside the camel and put a bottle of wine on the table: "I've given it to you!"

"They went into town. ”

"Yes, yes. The man leaned down towards the camel, which made his shoulders look extraordinarily broad and rough, "And then?"

"They seem to be in trouble, they get into an alley, and then they don't know it. ”

"You've missed out on a piece of good luck......," the strong man straightened up and let out a long and rough sigh, "these two men are worth a lot, a lot of money." ”

"So you're looking for them......" said the camel to the strong man with a truly dangerous smile, "but why are you looking for us......?

"Huh, hah......"

The camel ignored the man's explanation and stood up.

Then a group of people rushed into the house.

Everyone moved, as if they had long been familiar with it all, but they quickly left the land of right and wrong, leaving behind the terrified old Mentuhotep.

"You came out of that alley, huh!"

A man with a knife gave the camel a vicious look, but the latter saw the timidity in his eyes.

"Give you money. "The camel put Francie's silver coin on the table and walked towards the door of the shop," we said. ”

"Don't try to play tricks!"

The man swung his scimitar twice into the air, making a rather threatening expression, then glared at the strong man just now, and walked towards the door.

Then he was knocked unconscious at the door.

His companion fell to the ground, quiet and peaceful.

"That's what the countess did. ”

"Forget that," said the camel, tossing aside the stick in his hand, looking at the dimly lit streets to his left and right, "we're in trouble, but fortunately there is nothing we can do." ”

"Let's go. ”

The Count followed the camel through the streets, turned a few corners, and came to a deserted street.

"No one will come here at night, and there will be no group of people with weapons suddenly ...... from a corner"

While the camel was saying this to the Count, a group of men with weapons in hand rushed out of the dark alleys that lined the streets.

"Rush out?"

The strong man who had just been in the shop walked up to the camel with a musket.

"It's been a long time since you've been here. ”

"The last time I was here was a few months ago. ”

"It's a coincidence, a lot of things have happened in the past few months," the strong man sighed in a long voice, "The king of the world is worthy of being the king of the world, and now this city is full of explorers, you see, people just sit and say a few words, they don't even need to write, and the whole world is turned up......side down."

"There's no reason for a man to lose to a woman. ”

"A man like you can never win against a woman like that. ”

"Don't you like to do this the most?" said the strong man with a smile as he lowered his musket as his companions had surrounded the two of them, "camels." ”
