Chapter Twenty-Six: Before Departure
"I've decided, we'll call the Loud Pirates from now on!"
Old Jack's voice could be heard a few streets away, his glass in his hand, his face flushed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Surrounded by the crew and the sea tribes, the drunken old man was already standing on the table.
Naturally, this declaration of raising a glass of wine drew applause from those around him once again.
It was late at night, but the fishing village was brightly lit, and I don't know how many days the night would last. After the death of the sea monster, the sky above Atlantis returned to its normal appearance.
The bright moon hung high, Lin Qiu pinned the magic sword to his waist, and strolled to the door of Anna's rental house. The candles were lit in the room, and Anna sat alone at the table, neatly folding the beautiful dress she wore during the sea god festival.
"Master, can you lend me your magic?"
Lin Qiu glanced at the magic sword, and the deep sea that had receded from its light looked like an ordinary knight's sword that could be found everywhere in weapon shops.
"Just this once. ”
The blade cut a hole in his palm, and blood flowed onto the blade.
Anna turned her head in surprise, and the purple light that bloomed outside the door quickly caught her attention. As if sensing something, she took a deep breath and unfolded her beautiful folded skirt again.
"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. ”
Lin Qiu pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the beautiful woman who appeared from the purple light - her long black and smooth hair hung down to her waist, and a long white dress made her feel a little more elegant, which was exactly the same as what the village chief Ethan described.
The village chief's wife is also the only woman whose whereabouts are unknown in the incident more than ten years ago.
Well, he didn't actually guess at all, although he really wanted to follow Conan's example and pose a "there is only one truth" gesture. Lin Qiu staggered his gaze, as long as he glanced at the incredibly beautiful woman in front of him, he would have a strong sense of disobedience.
He would always make up the strange picture of this woman being used as a weapon to chop around before.
Amitabha!
"This is the last memory I have stored in the deep sea, when the high priest performed a ritual with my blood in order to strengthen the seal of the magic sword, so this memory has always been stored in the magic sword. ”
There was a knock on the door, and Anna, dressed in a beautiful long dress, looked cautiously at the door.
"Let's go over. ”
......
Lin Qiu was running under the night sky, and after two days of cultivation, his scoring power had almost recovered. In this undersea country, there is one thing left to be done.
His destination was the capital of Atlantis.
In the dark basement, torches lit on both sides of the corridor, and a musty smell filled the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a hidden door, and orange candlelight peeked through the cracks. As soon as Lin Qiu walked in, he could hear the sound inside.
"Lord Bishop, even the sea god has been defeated by them!"
The sissy priest fell to her knees, and there was a large bed in the room, on which a fat-headed, big-eared man lay with a panicked Sea Clan girl in his right arm.
Compared with the priest's nervous expression, the fat man's face was extremely calm: "How many times have I said not to make such a fuss, even if the sea god is defeated, wouldn't it be good to create another god? ”
"That'...... What about those people from the Sky Kingdom?"
"Idiot, do I have to tell you this?"
The bishop scolded the girl of the Sea Tribe: "That group of people will leave in a few days, and you will take them to that village when the time comes...... You don't need me to teach you how to do it, right?"
The priest replied tremblingly, "I...... I understand. ”
"Tsk, what a pity for that woman in the Sky Kingdom ten years ago...... If she had agreed to follow me, there would have been no need for such a ceremony. ”
The bishop glanced at the Sea Clan girl with tears in her arms.
Here he covers the sky with one hand. As long as the sea tribe maidens in the royal city that he fancied were his men, his men would sacrifice those girls to him as soon as the night fell.
"Then I'll step back first......"
"No need. ”
Lin Qiu kicked open the door and threw the two unconscious guards with him.
Seeing Lin Qiu who broke in, the bishop's eyes were about to pop out. Lin Qiu walked up to the priest and stared at him condescendingly: "Sissy, I want to ask you something, do you want to be a bishop?"
The priest was stunned by his question.
"That's right, I have a personal vendetta with this fat man...... And the little girl over there, can you go out first, I'll talk to this fat man about something. ”
When did the bishop say this, his muscles flared up, and he forced Lin Qiu to look at him. The girl of the Sea Clan, who was forcibly held in his arms, broke free from his grip and ran out of the door while his attention was all focused on Lin Qiu.
"You...... Aren't you afraid that I'll call someone to arrest you? If you kneel ...... now?"
"Bump—"
Before the bishop's words fell, Lin Qiu's figure suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly felt his abdomen sink, and the bed sank into the ground. Lin Qiu stepped on his fat belly with one foot, squinted and laughed: "Actually, that woman ten years ago was the aunt of the neighbor's neighbor's family who was the granddaughter of my aunt's friend in the countryside, she has been missing for so many years, and the family has always been worried about her. ”
Lin Qiu suddenly changed his words: "But I didn't expect that aunt to be killed by you." ”
With a slam of his foot, the room collapsed. The bishop screamed, and the boulder that had been thrown at him came to a halt in midair.
Lin Qiu slowly bent down and lowered his voice: "By the way, I'll tell you a secret, our people from the sky have nothing else, it's just that we have a special grudge, you caused me to lose such a large amount of commission fees, how do you say you want to compensate me?"
The bishop was trampled on by Lin Qiu, and at this moment he was completely panicked, and he saw the real killing intent in Lin Qiu's eyes.
"Treasure...... I have a lot of treasures, if you want ......"
"It's not about money anymore, it's a personal vendetta. ”
Lin Qiu stretched out his right hand, and the guard's long sword suddenly flew towards his right hand. The moment he grasped the hilt of his sword, he stabbed the bishop in the face with almost no hesitation.
"That sissy, have you thought about it?"
Lin Qiu playlessly kicked away the bishop who had passed out with his eyes rolled, and the long sword was inserted deep into the ground against his face.
"I ......"
"Would you like to be an archbishop?"
The priest glanced at the unconscious archbishop, then at the demagogic smile on Lin Qiu's face, and he swallowed a spit violently - the sea god is above, this must be the demon who has come to punish them for their crimes!
He shouted, "Yes!"
"Promising...... But before you become bishop, you have to do something for me - bring this fat pig to your king and make all his sins public. ”
Lin Qiu actually understood very well that in such an ancient country, even if he killed this fat pig, there would be countless successors who would take this position, and he couldn't stay in that small fishing village forever. Rather than leaving the fate of the village chief of Ethan to the unknown, it is better to find someone who is easy to control to take the bishop's place.
Like this sissy.
"One more thing, if I hear bad news in 'heaven', you can wait for me to come and screw your head off. ”
......
"The time is almost up, Anna. ”
The woman stood in front of Anna and looked at her softly. Anna buried her head in her waist and her pupils shrank when she heard her words.
"Again...... Can't you wait a little longer?"
The woman raised her head and looked up at the boundless moonlight: "Anna, I can see you now, my mother actually has no regrets." ”
Her figure grew fading, and Anna's hand passed through her faded figure.
It was another full moon, exactly the same as it had been ten years ago.
The woman's voice also became choppy: "But ah, I have never regretted it......"
She never regretted coming to the paradise of Atlantis.
Finally, the woman's figure disappeared into the moonlight, and Anna, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at her raised hands with wide eyes, as if trying to find the last traces left by the woman.
I don't know how long it took, but Anna whimpered. And soon, the soft whimper turned into a heart-rending cry.
"Gone. ”
Lin Qiu picked up the magic sword.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have seen the afterimage of the woman coming towards him. He saw the other's lips move.
- Thank you.
"Master, where did you just go?"
Hanging the magic sword back on his waist, the cold tone of the magic sword sounded in his mind.
"Toilet. ”
The magic sword seemed a little surprised: "Toilet?"
"Ate too much in the evening. ”
