"You've changed, head, you've never done such a degrading thing before, so you'd better give it back to me. ”

Svek just wants to use the front and back of the gold coin to calculate whether the front is good or bad.

Svecker tossed the gold coin high.

The coin landed on the deck, spinning bonelessly, and when the coin stopped turning, Sveker's brow furrowed, and one coin rolled into a small gap in the deck, standing upright, the second against the side of the ship, and the third next to Beechcraft's heel, still erect.

What kind of hexagram is this?

Gold coins are neither heads upwards nor tails upwards.

Beechcraft picks up the gold coin.

"Head, are you sure your thinking logic is normal?"

Svecker asked for the gold from him and was about to toss it again.

Beechcraft seemed to see the name of the name, and smiled, "You're testing our luck, aren't you?"

"Well, smart Beechcraft. ”

Sveck was about to throw a second time when Toniel ran up,

"My lord, there is something I forgot to tell you just now. ”

"What's the matter?"

Toniel glanced in the direction of the stern of the boat for a moment and said, "I always feel that a ship is following us." ”

Beechcraft was furious: "Who is so bold to follow the palace guards!

Svek looked at the stern, to the southwest, for a moment, and asked, "Captain, are you sure?"

"Not sure, but I always felt like there was a boat following, I could smell the boat tracking, I could smell it. ”

Beechcraft: "Is it a pirate?"

"Unlikely, it's offshore, and pirates wouldn't be so stupid to run offshore and grab something. ”

For this trip, it was top secret, and very few people knew about it, and if someone was following him, who would it be? Svecker looked at the sea quietly, and Beechcraft and Toniel waited for him to speak.

"Send someone, climb the mast. ”

Toniel immediately sent a sailor and climbed the high mast.

"It's less likely to be spotted during the day, mainly at night, and people who are following at night are closer. ”

Sveker: "That night, you will send one more person to find out if someone is really following, and I want exact information." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After such a toss, Svek forgot to toss the gold coin a second time.

"Let's suppose, if there is a stalker, what is his purpose?"

Beech: "That's not to be analyzed, it's for witches." ”

As soon as the words came out, Captain Toniel looked at him.

Svek smiled bitterly: "We didn't mean to hide this matter, of course, you will know sooner or later, okay, the witch's name is Sophia, do you know this person?"

Toniel's face changed drastically, and he stammered a little: "My lord, my lord, Sophia's reputation is great, in Syracuse Gorey, it is a big man who is well known, she is a shameless and vicious woman, and she has done more bad things than I have gone to sea. ”

"Have you seen her do something bad?"

Toniel was stunned, and then said: "No, how could I see her sneaky murder tricks, she usually chooses to kill people on dark and windy nights, and I also heard what the church people said." ”

"Since you don't see it, it's hearsay. ”

The captain froze for a moment, and the thief smiled: "What I didn't expect was that she was actually the lover of an adult." ”

Beechcraft's memes suddenly became ridiculous.

"Damn, who told you that Sophia is the leader's lover, who told you that I cut out his tongue!"

After Beechcraft finished speaking, he pulled out a short knife from his waist.

The captain was slightly alarmed.

Sveker: "Beechcraft, don't make a fuss!"

Beechcraft put the knife away, and Sveker: "Gentlemen, let's go on, if the stalker is coming for Sophia, then what does the stalker want to do?"

The captain did not hesitate: "Robber the witch, I heard that Sophia is the chief beauty of Gori Snow City." ”

Beechcraft: "Stupid, it's to save the witch!"

Captain: "You want to imprison Sophia on Alcatraz forever?"

Svek patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Captain, you think too much, didn't I say that Sophia and I are traveling to Alcatraz?"

Captain: "Well, I'll assume you're on a trip, I'm sure, my lord, you can't handle her, and you're the guinea pig she teases in front of her, and I'll vouch for it with my head." ”

Beechcraft drew his knife again.

Svecker's eyes signaled his composure.

"On what basis?"

"My lord, Sophia can spell, you, no, you will be embarrassed in front of a lover who can spell. ”

Svek touched his cheek and smiled, "You all say that she can do spells, and spells are lawless, you have seen her perform spells." ”

Both Beechcraft and the captain shook their heads.

"Okay, give the two of you a science popularization, there are no magical spells in the world as you say, they are all deceitful, you know, deceitful, Sophia is at best a woman who can play with her mind, that's all. ”

Before Beach and the captain could refute, Sveek: "Let's go meet her." ”

The captain jumped up: "No, I'm not going, I'll never see this vicious witch, don't, I heard that the person she likes will have bad luck for a lifetime." ”

"You say that, that means I've been unlucky all my life?"

The captain realizes that he has said the wrong thing again, makes an excuse, and slips away.

The captain is scared away, Beechcraft shrinks his head, and Sveker frowns and goes to see Sophia alone.

At the door of a cabin on the second deck, Svek meets a young girl.

She was petite and dressed in a coarse cloth skirt, standing at the door of the cabin.

This is Sophia's servant of the witch?

"What's your name?"

"My name, my name is Anna. ”

She spoke, softly, as if she hadn't eaten in days.

"Lift your head up. ”

Anna hesitated and lifted her head, but her eyes still didn't dare to meet Sveker.

"You're so much better than I thought you would, Anna. ”

Perhaps few people can affirm themselves like this, Anna's eyes finally collided with Svecker, and for a moment, she hurriedly lowered her head, put her hands on her abdomen, and looked even more cramped.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything, she, in there?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"I'll go in and have a look. ”

A magnetic, gentle voice came from the cabin: "Who is it outside, you are not from the church?"

"In the Lower Pavaro Empire, the head of the palace guard, Sveker. ”

"Your Excellency, I don't want to see anyone, right now. ”

Sveker's footsteps had just lifted, and one foot was frozen in mid-air when he heard her say this.

When his feet were lowered, he pushed open the cabin door.

Inside there is a black rumbling.

"Why don't you light an oil lamp?"

Anna: "My lord, Sophia said that the smell of the oil lamp made her dizzy. ”

"Point it!"

Not daring to disobey, Anna entered the cabin and lit the oil lamp.

Sophia sat on a stool under the oil lamp, wearing a wide black robe, her hands and feet tied behind her back, a large hood, and her eyes covered by an eye patch.

"Who tied her up?"

"People who are in the church"

"Let go. ”

Anna hesitated, and before she stepped forward, Sophia: "Lord Guard, you'd better not do that, or you'll regret it." ”

"Regret what? ”

Anna hurriedly stepped forward to loosen the rope from Sophia's body.

When she moved her hands and feet, Sveek suddenly realized that he had a lot of questions to ask her, but he didn't know where to start.

Sophia: "I want to go for a walk on deck, is that okay?"

"Of course, the blindfold can't be taken off yet. ”

Sophia, led by Anna, came to the deck.

Her figure is quite magical, wrapped in such a big black robe, it still can't stop the symbol of her youth.

He followed her, slowly until he came to the bow of the deck.

Six of Svek's men followed, all cautious, their hands gripping the hilt of their swords tightly, staring at the wizard as if they were facing a great enemy.

And the captain hid to the side, watching from afar.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Much better, you're a kind person. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Between the questions and answers, Svek didn't feel anything terrible about this witch.

"I heard that your spells are high, is that true?"

Sophia faced the sea: "Spells? Who do you listen to, I only have a little magic." ”

"Can you prove it?"

"You'll have to allow me to remove the blindfold. ”

Beach heard it clearly and rushed up: "Demon, what do you want to do, we will not be fooled!"

Sveker kicked him out of the way, far away.

"Beechcraft, don't be mischievous, I'll give you a detailed explanation later, what is a materialist, what is idealism, what are the benefits of being a materialist. ”

He personally helped her undo the blindfold and remove the hood.

Well, it's really as legendary, with a beautiful face and an outstanding temperament.

It is a pity that her face is as pale as paper, as white as a dead person, and the color of her face is not visible, only the monotonous plain makeup of black and white remains.

After the blindfold was removed, her eyes remained closed, as if adjusting to the harsh gaze.

When she opened her eyes and faced Sveker, the head of the guard's heart suddenly accelerated, and she didn't know if she was frightened or shocked.

Her agate-like eyes, clear as a child, not mixed with a little variegation, deep as if there were two elves peeping into their hearts.

The color of the eyeballs is not pure dark blue, with a hint of black.

The sea breeze blew, and her long brown-black hair rose vertically around her waist.

The blue sea, the blue sky, the sailboat, the beauty, the person in the painting, the painting in the person, Svek was attracted by this artistic conception, but I didn't expect that there was one more thing in her right hand, it was a seed, what seed, Svek didn't know, a thumb-sized seed.

The seed lay in the middle of her small and delicate palm, and she gracefully reached out her hand, with a hint of weirdness, to show Svek.

"Thank you for letting me come up to the deck for some fresh air. ”

"That's what you call magic?"

"No, you're wrong, it's just the beginning. ”

Sveker: "So, you want to use this seed to perform your little magic?"

"Yes, it's what you deserve in return, because --- you're a kind person. ”

When the witch said kindness, she spoke very harshly, and her tone was doubled.

"Very well, then, please start your show. ”

"I need half a bowl of water, fresh water. ”

Despite Beechcraft's vehement, Svecker immediately went to fetch water.

After the water was fetched, Sophia placed the seeds on the deck and poured water over them.

A miraculous scene appeared, and the seeds sprouted rapidly, flowered, and grew rattans, which spread with a terrible speed and with a strange noise, and in the blink of an eye, the deck was full of green vine leaves.

The rattans continued to spread, towards the stern, and they were rapidly getting bigger and thicker, burrowing into any gaps in the hull.

The terrifying clatter of clatters came and went.

It was the sound of rattan tearing the crack in the hull further.

Toniel was the first to react: "Damn, stop her, she's going to wreck the ship!"
