Chapter 420: Green Mountains and Green Waters (16)

Filming saw the figure trip, fall, and fall into the sea, and the splash after falling into the water was not loud, but only one. Even if he came to the surface, he didn't see it.

Filin didn't have time to look at him, but the red boat hit the middle of the battleship, cutting off the oars and sending the rowers flying.

The group of outlanders shouted confidently, laughing and laughing at the people as they jumped from their ships to the people's ships.

Filmin staggered back to his seat and reached for Film's axe, while the people around Filmin searched for their weapons. No one was prepared for battle, but no one was paralyzed by fear, and then they regrouped and fought with determination.

Nowhere was it darker than a sea in the middle of the night, and it was impossible to discern the enemy. One of the men jumped on top of Film, grabbed him by the leather armor, knocked him down and strangled him.

After the paralysis just now, his fear gave Filin a wild sense of relaxation, and he thought it would happen quickly.

Later, when he stood straight, the other boat was far away from the people, and the boat was only half full of oarsmen, and there was still fighting on the decks, but the ship left its crew behind.

The captain shouted for the men to kill them all and continue to chase the Red Ship, but it was a useless order.

When they had killed them all and dumped their bodies on deck, the other ship had long since disappeared into the darkness without a trace. Lawson collapsed on the deck, bruised and dying, still breathing but unable to send the message to Hermes.

The oars on one side of the ship had broken into a mess. The captain then rebuked the men and reassigned the oars to continue sailing, but it was too late.

He told people to be quiet, but they couldn't hear or see anything at all. Fei Lin sat on his storage box and turned around slowly, but what was even more strange was the words that Fei Lin said loudly: "The white boat that was originally moored there is also gone!"

The people around Filmin all turned their heads to stare at Film. "White boat?"

"Are you alright, Kaz?"

"It's the Red Boat, boy, the people were fighting the Red Ship just now!"

"Don't mention the White Ship again. To see the white boat is to see your own death, which is bad luck. Finally Noju yelled at Firin. Filming opened his mouth to argue that he saw a real white ship, and he was not dazzled.

He shook his head at Firin, and instead of looking at the empty sea, he closed his mouth and sat down slowly. No one saw it, and no one talked about turning people's strategies into a flustered and boundless fear.

When the people returned to the city that night, the people in the tavern talked about how the red boat had escaped despite the brave fighting on the enemy ship, and the only visible evidence was some broken oars and some wounded soldiers, as well as some blood stains of the outer islanders on the deck.

When he talked to Hermes privately with Nighteye, neither of them saw what Filin saw.

Hermes tells Filin that he lost contact with him when he sees other ships, and Nighteye angrily says that Filyn completely closed himself off and made it not feel at all.

Noju did not say anything about the White Boat to Filin;

Later, he found an account of the White Ship in an ancient scroll, which stated that it was a cursed ship, and that the souls of the sailors on it would never stop working for the ruthless captain, forcing Filmin not to mention it again, otherwise everyone would think Filmin was crazy.

For the rest of the summer, the Red Ship avoided the Rox. The Red Boat could be seen chasing after it, but it was always allowed to escape.

On one occasion, when they were lucky, they caught up with a red boat that had just been raided, and the outer islanders on board threw their captives overboard to reduce their weight and escape.

Twelve men were thrown out of the ship, nine were saved, and the unsmelted were sent back to their hometowns, while the other three were mourned, but everyone agreed that it was better than being smelted.

The luck of the other ships was similar to that of the people. The Sin Scarcity confronted the robbers while they were attacking a village, and although it did not succeed immediately, it destroyed the red boat on the shore beforehand, preventing the robbers from escaping cleanly.

When they saw that their ships were badly damaged, they scattered and fled into the woods, where it took several days for them to be annihilated one by one.

Other warships were in a similar situation: they chased the robbers, drove them away, and even sank the attacking red ships by other warships, but no more intact ships were captured that summer.

So, the smelting events have decreased, and every time people sink a ship, they tell themselves that they have one less ship, but how many ships are left doesn't seem to matter to the people.

In one way, people bring hope to the people of the five principalities, but on the other hand, they also bring despair, because no matter how hard they try, they cannot drive the fear of robbers out of their homes.

For Film, the long summer was a mixture of terrifying isolation and incredible isolation.

Hermes was often with Filin, but Filin was still unable to maintain contact with each other after any fight, and Hermes himself sensed the emotional vortex that threatened to overwhelm Filin as the entire crew confronted him.

So, he invented a theory that while Filmin tried to block the thoughts and feelings of others, he also erected barriers that even he could not break.

He also said that it could be a sign that Film's arcane spelling abilities might have matured and even surpassed him, but he was also sensitively overwhelmed by the consciousness of everyone around him during the battle.

It's an interesting theory, but there's no practical way to solve it. But every time Hermes travels with Film, it gives me a unique feeling about him, and probably only Borges makes Filmin feel the same way. Fleming

It was chilling to know how the thirst for arcane spells had corrupted him.

When he was a young boy, one day Carey and Filmin climbed to a high cliff by the sea. As the people climbed to the top, he confessed to Filmin that he almost had an unbearable urge to jump, and he thought Hermes must feel something like this.

The joy of arcane spells spurred him on, and he was always eager to leap into the web of arcane spells, and the close bond between him and Filin was just enough to satisfy this hunger.

However, even if the arcane spells continued to eat at him, people had done a lot of good things for the five principalities, and if he was allowed to give up like this, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Admittedly, he shared with him many lonely moments when he stood in front of the beacon window, the hard chair he sat in, the fatigue that ruined his appetite, and even the bone aches caused by not exercising for a long time. Filin saw firsthand how he was getting thinner.

Filin didn't know if it was good or bad to know a person so well. Nighteye is a straightforward expression of its inner jealousy, but at least it openly shows anger that has been ignored, but the situation between Filin and Ariana is much more complicated.

She didn't understand why Filin stayed away so often, why it wasn't someone else, but Filin who became part of the battleship's crew.

Filin told her it was because Hermes wanted to, but she wasn't at all happy with the reason.

The brief moments people spend together gradually take on a predictable form, first with a wild passion, then with a brief moment of tranquility, followed by an argument.

She was lonely, hated being a servant, and the money she could keep was accumulating very slowly. She misses Filmin so much, and why does Filmin leave so often, does he know that he is the only solace in her life?

Filming had given her the money he had earned on the battleship, but she scolded Filming for treating her like a prostitute, and she would never accept anything from Filming until people got married, but he couldn't give her any real hope of a marriage, and he couldn't find a chance to reveal Crick's plans for Filmin and Hermione, and he was afraid of what might happen in the future.

People have been separated for too long to capture the bits and pieces of each other's daily lives, but when they are together, they always bring up old things and repeat the drama of arguments.

When he came to her one night, he found her hair braided with a red ribbon, elegant willow-shaped earrings dangling from her red neck, and her appearance fascinated her in simple white pajamas.

Later, when the people finally had a chance to talk quietly, he praised her earrings, and she did not hesitate to say that when His Majesty came to buy the candles, he gave them to her, because he was so pleased with her candles that he often felt that the money he paid was far less than the value of the perfumed candles.

She smiled proudly as she said this, and ran her fingers at Filin's warrior's braids, her hair and ribbons scattered across the pillow.

Fihrin didn't know what she was seeing on her face, but Filin's expression made her eyes widen and she stepped back.

"You accept a gift from Your Majesty?" Filin asked her coldly. "You don't accept the money that Filin earns, but you accept the jewelry he sent, that ......"

Ariana narrowed her eyes, and this time she stepped back a little bit.

"What is he to say, then?' No, my lord, he will not be able to accept your kindness until you marry Filin?' The relationship between His Majesty and Filin is not like that of people, and his gift is only a special courtesy to a skilled craftsman.

Otherwise, why do you think he sent earrings to Film, in exchange for Film's favor?"
