Fingers nimbly turn the page, then jot down the main points, go back to the table of contents and click on another book, then compare it with the content on the note, and record the thoughts and questions next to it. Such notes Kaye has written densely in a book.

The rippling water of the Jinxue River tilted the boat slightly to the left, and Kaye didn't raise his head and stretched out his hand to block the scroll of the source sea that slipped off the table, and continued to write. After the last time they parted, Kaye and Mina trekked through the dim underground for three days before they came out, and the result of this trip was that the two children would never be afraid of death again, after all, not everyone had the opportunity to lie in the pile of bones and use their skulls as pillows.

They left Razor City and decided to head north, traveling and learning as they went. To the north from the border of the Crimson Federation is the land of the Eagle Kumara, which has left a very bad impression on them, from the inhabitants to the city, as cold as the blade, and no one is kind. The harsh management system made the travelers breathless, and Kaye and Mina decided to continue north to Essien, which was rumored to be a peaceful country, not like the chaos and extravagance of the Crimson Federation, nor like the oppressive coldness of the Eagle Kumara.

There were footsteps in the hallway, and Kaye was aware of it, one of them was Mina, with her soft, short steps, and the other a stranger, heavy and sloppy. Knock knock, knock on the door, one long and two short, if it is being held hostage, the knock is not this. Kaye breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the slime back from the neckline. It's so troublesome for two children to travel, it seems that anyone can grab a handful.

The door opened, and Mina helped a strange man in, and then saw that no one had locked the door in the hallway. The man was in his thirties and forties, and his gray head indicated that he was a native of Essien. He was wearing a scholar's uniform with a jacket, and the edges and corners of it should be full of books. He wears a red bow tie at the neckline, his clothes are torn, and he wears monocles on the right side of his face. On the left side of his face, there is a black blue with a fist print. The man bent down slightly, and said to Kaye with a humble apology, "Excuse me, my name is Aston Martin." He smiled and tugged at the wound. It hurts so much that I inhale.

Kaye opened Mina's eyes wide, and the little girl shrugged, "When I was touring the deck, a bunch of guys dressed like cultists were beating this guy, and they couldn't see it, so they spilled all the itching powder out of their bags, and then the guys started chasing us. ”

It's not like a slum. "To be precise, they're members of the Razor City's Withering Society, and they're going to Golden Pickaxe to worship the rumored tentacle demons, and it's not wrong to say they're cultists." A bunch of ignorant guys. ”

The people of Razor City, this makes sense, maybe some cultist looks like Zapan in particular.

Aston took Mina's cold towel, thanked her politely, and looked around the room. "Ah, du1i room, the two must be the children of a wealthy merchant from the Crimson Federation. What about your parents?"

"It's just us. Kaye took two looks and decided that this was a nerd who couldn't even beat a house dog. "How do you know that we are from the Crimson Federation, the children of wealthy merchants and not nobles?"

"Maroon heads and amber-like eyes, which are the physiological characteristics of southerners. You guys have a similar accent to the guy who just hit me. Also, although you live in expensive rooms, you don't behave in an aristocratic manner. Aston said humbly, but with a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"Then why did you argue with them?"

Aston stood up. Straightened his waist, his expression was like announcing the founding of the country, he wore a red bow tie, and said solemnly and passionately: "Because I sued them." There is only one truth in this world! There are no gods, no demons, and no magic!"

These impassioned words stunned both children, and then bowed their heads in embarrassment. lest the smile that overflowed from the corner of his mouth stab Aston. Kaye suddenly lifted the man in amusement, invited him to sit down, and poured a glass of milk.

"Tell me, Mr. Aston, on what basis do you say this? He asked, sitting precariously on his back.

"You're interested?"

"Yes. ”

Aston immediately seemed happy, and the whole ship finally found someone willing to listen rather than spit. "I'm a naturalist, a scholar who knows a little bit about everything. First of all, I want to elaborate on the core idea that the world is material, the original is material, and the spirit is the feedback of matter. ”

He was a little surprised that Kaye understood, and even Mina didn't show a confused expression. These two children must have been born into families with rich homeschooling, he thought.

"Matter is the primordial, and spirit is the derivation of matter, and from this point of view, the existence of gods and demons is denied, which is nothing but the fantasy and worship of natural phenomena by the ancient ancestors due to ignorance. And magic, haha, I'm sorry, I can't take that word seriously. How sad and ridiculous, people's imitation of forces beyond their control is actually a trick in the countryside, look, I will too. ”

He clumsily performed a trick of turning a coin into nothing, and it fell apart.

The two children looked at each other, and Mina said, "What do you think would happen if I took out the Ain Stone and flew it around his head?"

"He can jump into the river, don't forget that Mr. Jì said that people are self-protective of their firm ideas. Kaye replied.

"Ah, what language are you talking about, I've studied the accents of most of the Salaphim, which are not in the known language family. Aston asked.

Of course you haven't heard it, it's dragon language. Mina rolled her eyes and pointed scathingly, "Let me warn you, Mr. Aston, the ship we're on now is full of people, including you, who have come to see the Mercer Serpent and the demons of the underworld. ”

Aston nodded proudly, "Yes, but my purpose is to classify the unnamed strange species, so that people know that they are just animals that live deep underground and have nothing to do with gods and demons." ”

Kaye said, "What would you think if, I mean, if I used a spell right now to make this table disappear. ”

"Little Mister ......"

"My name is Kaye and she's Mina. ”

"Mr. Kaye, that's impossible. Maybe there is a mysterious secret passage or flap hidden in this room, but it is also the mechanical action of matter, magic, and there is never zài. Aston said earnestly.

With great perseverance, Kaye suppressed the idea of letting Jelly eat the table, and kept telling himself that showing off was useless, and that he didn't forget the lesson he had learned last time. He let out a long breath and said, "Thank you for your preaching, those cultists should have dispersed, please come back." ”

"Farewell, two, if you have any questions, whether it is geography or human feelings, biological philosophy, I can answer one or two. He opened the door to see if there was no one, and tiptoed out.

"Why don't you teach this stupid nerd a lesson, he insulted your knowledge. Mina grumbled, she really wanted to see Aston's face when he faced the spell.

"He didn't, on the contrary he had a lot of respect for knowledge. I pity him for this and go on with the wrong ideas all his life. Kaye shook his head, and suddenly there was a reaction from the scroll of the source sea. Turning the title page, the silver page reads: "Ignorance is not stupidity, vision determines vision." He was stunned for a moment, and understood that this was the teacher's evaluation of Aston and a warning to himself.

It seems that the teacher is paying attention to them all the time. Then I looked down, and my eyelids jumped. He closed the book and said to Mina, "Pack up, the teacher has a task." ”

"What is it?"

"Run for your life, this ship is sinking. ”

Mina was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up a few pieces of luggage and walked out of the cabin together. Hurrying out of the corridor, the fresh air rich in moisture came to your face, and beyond the side of the ship, you could see the hills and mines on the riverbank.

Aston leaned against the guardrail and looked out, with a sketchboard and charcoal in his hand, and when he saw them, he said, "You have come out too, and the crew has just told me that I can see the inky serpent from the river any further on, and I will draw it and put it in the illustrated book...... Why do you look like you're moving?"

"We're just ......" Kaye was just thinking about perfunctory, when the idea suddenly came to him that he should take him with him, this naturalist would be useful for his future goals. “...... Now there is another better observation point. ”

"Really?"

Kaye pulled him to the port side, where there were small lifeboats and oars. Kaye jumped over the guardrail and motioned for Aston to get on the boat, but the naturalist shook his head and said, "Kids, I'm just not very sociable, but I'm not stupid, what are you going to do?"

"Believe me, Mr. Aston, this ship is dangerous and about to sink. Kaye said.

"Nonsense, even if something happens, the captain or first mate should be notified. Aston retorted.

The boy sighed, and he knew that sincerity was useless, and that it was better to use the slum method. Coloring Mina, the girl pouted and pulled out a knife and put it against Aston's waist. "Robbery, give me up!"

"Oh, it's amazing today, first beaten up by a group of inarticulate cultists, and then kidnapped by gangsters who are only half as tall as me, don't make trouble, children, where are your parents?"

Boom!

With a loud bang, the whole ship jumped, and countless screams rang out. The hook that held the lifeboat in place broke, and the boat fell. Kaye hung on the guardrail, and wolf climbed up. Aston was stunned, swallowing and saying, "Something has hit the bottom of the boat, it's definitely not small, there are no reefs in this section ......of the river?" Ahhhh

At the scholar's frightened screams, a huge claw broke through the water, the cyan carapace shone brightly, and the wave-like pincers still hung with aquatic weeds.

There was a clattering sound, and countless timbers cracked, from the keel to the ship's ribs, and split in two. The clawers retracted underwater, turning the section of the boat overturned. The ship was upside down at 90 degrees, and the passengers, salutes, and broken wood slipped one after another.

The three of them clung to the guardrail before they fell into the water. Now that the lifeboat is gone, Kaye has to dig through the open sea scroll with great difficulty to find the page of the huàn. He also hurriedly said to the pale-faced Aston, "Sir, don't be surprised whatever you see. (To be continued......)
