Captain Marlowe laughed, "Kid, if the Box of Silence doesn't want you to see it, you'll never find it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lukka shuddered, watching an old man shout "kid" at another man who was almost eighty, and the scene was so absurd.

"But you didn't give the box to your employer. Lukka was sure that the Silent Box was still lying in the drawer of the Silent Death's captain's room.

"No, back then, I was a very reputable thug. Captain Marlowe rubbed his right hand against an inconspicuous ring on his left index finger, "I just made a mistake. ”

"The employer asked me to kill Edmund Taylor and bring him the box, and he didn't say anything like it couldn't be opened. ”

"Perhaps it was the effect of the box of silence itself, my curiosity that had been dormant for many years, and as soon as I got it, I opened the box that night, on the boat that left the port of Long Moon. ”

"Unlike when I gave it to you, there was one thing in the box of silence. ”

Marlowe said as he raised his left hand.

Lukka saw the brown ring, it wasn't supposed to be this color, and time had covered the surface of the ring with a layer of brown oxide, obscuring its original appearance, but the shape was still clear, with countless patterns like short branches.

"Is this thorns or seaweed?" Lukka grabbed Marlowe's left hand and put it in front of his eyes to look closely.

"It's the shape of a deer's antlers. Marlowe said.

"It doesn't matter if it's antlers, ram's horns, or horse horns, what the hell is it?" Lukka asked.

Shut up and gave him a blank look: "Does a horse have horns? ”

"Antlers, don't tell me it has anything to do with the three main gods. Daniel said that although it was the goddess of the sea who mainly tricked him, it made him not have a good impression of the other two.

Marlowe withdrew his hand, rubbed the ring again, and said, "Maybe there is, maybe not." I still haven't figured out what this thing is, or the box of silence, what it is. ”

Intrigued, I opened the box and put the ring on my finger. Unexpectedly, since then, the ring has never been taken off. ”

"At the time, I thought that the employer just told me to ask for the box anyway, and didn't mention the contents, just give him the box. So, back in Crackstone Harbor, I found a strip of cloth to cover the ring and handed him the Box of Silence. ”

He didn't have any doubts, took the box and left. Actually, it didn't matter if I was covering the ring or not, the man didn't know what was in the box, he didn't even know that the box could be opened. ”

Of course he wouldn't tell me that, and I didn't see him again after that day, but I saw the box of silence again. ”

"I didn't have a permanent place to live, and I only rented a room in the tavern that day. That night, I poured myself with the silver he had paid for myself, and the next day, when I awoke, the first thing I saw was a silent box lying quietly on the bedside table. ”

"I know it's a bit weird, but it's better to have more than less, and that night I lost a lot of silver in the casino, and I just put the box on as a chip, and of course I lost. ”

"But on the third day, when I opened my eyes, it was still lying at the head of my bed. ”

"I was really scared, so I went downstairs and retreated from the room, leaving it there and running away. ”

"That night, with the last remaining silver coins, I found a busty woman in the brothel of Crackstone Harbor, and did not fall asleep until almost dawn, and when I woke up it was already afternoon. ”

"As soon as I opened my eyes, the box ran to the prostitute's pillow again!"

"I can't remember how long it been, I tried my best and couldn't get out of that box. It doesn't matter if I'm sleeping in a tavern, a brothel, or a damp and cold alley, it always finds me at the first place, and every time I wake up, it's always in the first place I can see, just like its name, quietly, without saying a word. ”

"Then I gave up, and it didn't do anything else anyway, and I took over all the dirty work that I didn't see before, and I reaped a lot of silver. Except for the extra box by his side, life seems to be no different from before. ”

"About ten years later, I missed. On that occasion, I was hired to kill the daughter of the lord of a small island, and I have long forgotten the name. The lord had been prepared, and what was waiting for me was a dozen or so guards, almost each of whom slashed me at least once. ”

"They threw me into the sea, and when I exhaled my last breath, I felt like I could finally be freed, and this time, I finally got out of the box. ”

"But the next day, I woke up on a beach on an uninhabited island, and the scars on my body never seemed to exist. And the box of silence was still in front of me, half-buried in the fine white sand. ”

"You know, as much as I hated the box at times, it was more good than a hassle, but that's when I started to hear it speak to me. ”

"The box of silence doesn't make a sound, and the words seem to come straight into my head. Sometimes it's whispering, sometimes it's yelling, sometimes it's screaming that makes you want to go crazy. ”

But I couldn't understand a word, and from that day on, it kept me from sleeping, and I tried to throw it away more frantically than before, but still without success. ”

"If death doesn't get me out of it, what else can I have?"

"Later, a pirate ship passed by that desert island, and I got on their ship. Then change to another ship, another group of pirates. ”

"Time seemed to me to have no meaning either, until one day, I remember it vividly, one of the few times I can remember clearly, December 22, 1453, the day of the winter solstice. ”

"At that time, little Taylor had just established the Golden Deer Chamber of Commerce, and the pirate ship I was on met his escort. My fellow pirate and I were almost vulnerable, and I remember the sword piercing my heart. This is not the first time I have lost my life, but every time I die, the pain does not diminish at all. ”

"Again I was thrown into the sea, again I woke up on the beach, again the box of silence half-buried in the sand beside me, screaming silently. ”

Only this time, I suddenly understood what it meant. ”

"'Go to Tata Island,' that's what the box says. I wanted to ask more questions, but there was only one sentence, and the rest was still a meaningless voice that messed with my brain. ”
