Chapter 26: The Truth
When night falls, the sky is full of stars, and the blue moon rises.
The icy wind was still blowing, the water crashed against the reef on the shore, making a rattling sound, and behind a huge rock, a campfire could be faintly seen swaying in the wind.
Just after dinner, Ge Lin was alone and six dragons, with his back against the rock, all with big bellies, looking up at the starlight in the sky, in a daze.
Not far from them, a young girl sat quietly in a fur, and the occasional breeze would blow her loose white-gold hair, revealing a face that was enough to captivate the country. The girl sitting quietly against the backdrop of the bonfire is like a statue of a goddess in ancient mythology who does not eat fireworks in the world.
"Xiao Linzi, she keeps staring at you, can't she fall in love with you?"
"She's not looking at me, she's just in a daze, so don't talk nonsense, okay?" Greene glanced down at the sky and whispered to Nebel beside him.
This woman, to be exact, should be a young girl, had already woken up in the evening, and a very embarrassing thing had happened at that time.
At that time, Greene was feeding her water, although he had noticed that her eyes had opened, but he thought that the girl had not recovered his strength, so he planned to feed her again, but at this time the girl suddenly said, "I have recovered!"
Greene was slightly stunned and said, "I saw it!" Then he lowered his head and fed the girl again, but when he took another sip of water from the shell, and looked at the girl looking at him coldly, he suddenly came to his senses: since he can already speak, of course he can drink water on his own.
Green's face turned red and he wanted to explain, but seeing that the girl was already frowning and turning her head, unwilling to say more, he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
Then it's time to finish eating, but fortunately, there is Pikachu, a little fishing expert, so these days, including Pippi, the big stomach, has not been hungry. At this time, the body of the girl who fell into the water should have recovered, and she slowly sat up on her own.
Greene handed her the grilled fish, and she didn't refuse, but she didn't speak.
Stroking the heads of the little ones leaning over, Greene glanced at the girl in front of the campfire and decided to take the initiative, after all, there were some things he needed to ask. Although the girl had only spoken one sentence and had a strange accent, he was still able to understand it, which showed that the two of them had no problem communicating with each other.
"Are you from the Southern Continent?"
"You're a Viking?"
Unexpectedly, the two of them spoke at the same time at this moment.
Greene stretched out her hand to make a gesture of please, hoping that the girl would speak first. It's just that what embarrassed him was that the girl's face was flat and she didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, obviously waiting for him to speak.
Greene touched his nose speechlessly, thought for a while and decided to speak first, this girl's personality was too eccentric, he felt that if he didn't speak first, he probably wouldn't have spoken.
"I'm still the same question. Greene spread his hands.
"Yes, but that continent is not called the Southern Continent, but the 'Demon Continent'. The girl's answer was complete.
"Well, I'm the Vikings you said. Greene moved to find a comfortable place for a few little ones who wanted to sleep, and then asked curiously, "Then why did you come here? As far as I know, no one from the Southern Continent has come here through the Misty Sea for hundreds of years. β
Mary looked at Greene and blinked, the question she wanted to ask was actually what she wanted to ask.
She had read in the royal collection of ancient books that the Vikings were a savage, brutal, only a people who knew how to plunder and kill, and who loved adventure and conquest. Hundreds of years ago, they had occupied many parts of the Demon Continent, but it wasn't until the Whip of Death plague broke out that they seemed to disappear and disappeared without a trace.
Later, according to the research of the priests of the Holy See of Light, it was discovered that this plague, which almost wiped out half of the population of the Demon Continent, should have been brought by these Vikings. As a result, later books describe them as a kind of demon with horns on their heads and a penchant for killing and spreading plague. So much so that the place where they disappeared back then, the Sea of Mist, has become a forbidden place in the hearts of the people of the Demon Realm Continent, the legendary country of death.
It was precisely because she knew the truth of this matter that she dared to lead the fleet into the Misty Sea that day, so as to avoid the pursuit of the enemy.
"We were merchant ships heading to the New World, and we strayed into the Misty Sea after a storm at sea, and then we encountered a whirlpool, and then the ship sank. Mary decided to take a stand on the subject, and although the boy was a very different Viking than she had known, she had always believed in the principle of not placing her hopes on trusting others.
"How many companions do you have?" asked Greene hurriedly.
"And two ships!" Mary glanced at Greene in surprise, and she sensed something unusual in the Viking boy's mouth.
"Can you still reach them?"
Mary frowned and didn't answer immediately.
Looking at the girl's somewhat wary gaze, Greene shrugged his shoulders and immediately added, "I have no ill intentions! I just want to tell you, if you can contact them, please leave here immediately, otherwise the consequences may be very serious." β
"Why?" asked Mary.
"Thisβ" Greene thought about it for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Viking ban?" Mary listened to Green's account and wondered, why would the Vikings be so afraid of people who come into contact with the Demon Continent... Why is that... Was it because of the Whip of Death? If they were also afraid of being infected? What caused this terrible plague?
Looking at the pensive girl in front of him, Greene couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
In the past, he never believed that there was anything stunning in the world, because in his opinion, those beauties on the earth were just like that, most of them were painted with makeup or plastic surgery. At first glance, he felt that his eyes were bright, but if he looked at it again, he would feel a little unnatural, and after watching too much, he would even feel a little crooked, so there has never been a goddess in his heart.
It's just this girl in front of me... One point is too much, one point is too little, the elegance is elegant, no powder is applied, the skin is better than snow, the eyebrows are bright, and especially the kind of noble temperament that occasionally exudes, which can't help but make him a little heartbroken. Just now, the girl blinked her eyes a few times, and his heartbeat accelerated a few beats. Thinking that he had kissed such a stunning beauty, Greene felt that his first kiss was really worth it.
I just don't know if there will be any in the future...
"Ahem~"
Green, who was in a daze, suddenly heard a strange dry cough, and then he came back to his senses, looking at the girl in front of him turning her head expressionlessly, he was suddenly embarrassed and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, this time it's really embarrassing!
It's just that what he didn't see was that the moment the girl turned her head, there was a hint of amusement in her calm eyes.
