Chapter 38: Terrible
"No need. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Bagaos, who had been silent about the second prince of Tamina, spoke suddenly.
"You can talk?"
Carla looked at the native boy with a shocked expression, and since the meeting, Bagaos had not squeaked, so much so that he thought the other party was a dumb mute.
"Of course I can speak, not only in your words, but also in the official language of Polis. I've wanted to leave that birdcage for a long time, and I've been trying to absorb the knowledge from the outside, so they let me follow you. ”
The indigenous boy explained lightly, and then picked up the previous words, and said in an astonishing voice:
"Ardustony is not an innocent girl, she has dated more men than your entire party, and like my mother, she is a woman in demand.
Their attitude towards you, Lord Governor, is pure beauty-hunting, admiration is real, but insistence is false. Just as men love beautiful women, she also takes pleasure in associating with high-status men, and your words are enough for her to enjoy and brag about for a long time. ”
"Actually...... How can this be!?"
The black-haired knight felt a lightness in his heart, but he couldn't believe that Ardustone, who had made such an innocent offensive, was actually the same person as her mother.
"With your strength and status, will you accept the confession of a slut? No, no, no, only with the face of a pure girl can you hang a cold-hearted person like you. ”
Seeing that he was still skeptical, Baguios continued to explain patiently in a tone that was completely different from his own wooden appearance:
"My mother once said that a woman who is as fresh and innocent as green tea can arouse a man's desire to protect the most, in other words, to get more benefits.
My clever sister is just making a long-term investment, and it doesn't matter if you are His Excellency Genevieve himself, and whether you will see her again. Ten big people like you, as long as one person remembers her, the rewards will be unimaginable. ”
"Women are horrible. Yalei and a cadre of people sighed at the same time.
"Words ......"
The black-haired knight looked the native boy up and down, and asked unexpectedly, "Is there any benefit in betraying your sister like this?"
"Because I don't want to go back there, I want to see the real world. Baguios looked at him calmly and said sincerely:
"The situation in the south is very chaotic, and in the eyes of the Catholics, heretics like us should be burned to death. Without the protection of powerful forces, it is impossible to survive at all, and if you have such power, I will follow you and you will be able to obtain refuge. ”
"You're smart. ”
Satisfied with Bagaos's attitude, Aree patted his shoulder in affirmation, and turned to look at Lydia:
"You see if I don't have to ...... now"
He was about to explain, but found that the female knight was already stunned at the moment, and the whole person entered a trance, chewing words such as "green tea", "liar" and "seduction" in her mouth, and then covered her face with shame.
"Are you alright......"
Lydia covered her face, which was as red as a tomato, and looked at him through her fingers, and said in a voice close to that of a mosquito:
"I'm not green tea!"
"Of course you're not. ”
The black-haired knight replied in the affirmative, adding in an unquestioning tone, "You are green orange juice!"
"I'm lemon tea. The sea witch whispered.
......
After leaving the oasis, the people continued westward, and when they crossed the desert, they were greeted by the province of Makmuk, a place that had once been glorious and rich, but now poor and chaotic.
The march in the desert was easier than Yare had imagined, because there were enough reserves and Bruno was by his side. But in the evening, when the wind began to blow, they came to a ravine, and the rain poured down to the bottom of the valley, and the road became wet and slippery.
The raindrops hit the bodies like fists, hitting the slippery rocks, gradually flooding the canyon and hiding the road from the water. In this chaotic weather, everything in the field of vision becomes very blurry, and it is very difficult to identify the direction.
To make matters worse, the road was completely cut off, and in front of them were steep cliffs. In the heavy rain, the mountains circled halfway around a lake, and the clouds covered the top, and the air was lifeless.
"We've arrived at Makmuk. ”
The black-haired knight raised his hand and swung a wave of updraft, stopping the rain and keeping everyone in a waterless hemispherical space.
"It's been there a long time ago. ”
Clark took out the map framed with waterproof film from his bosom, carefully glanced around, compared the local terrain, pointed to the large lake in front of him, and said:
"This is Faiyum, and that should be Lake Garon. ”
"Then cross the river. ”
Yalei didn't talk nonsense, his palm was aimed at the lake water and shot out a white frost, condensing a wide iceboat directly on the surface of the lake, and then jumped on the hull first.
The crowd quickly boarded the boat, and Kara waved his hand to create a flow of air that propagated the ice forward.
The lake is black because it reflects the sky, and the raindrops hit it, causing thousands of waves, and the water surface is as cold and dignified as cold iron.
"What's going on with this lake, it's so cold. A certain Scourge Knight couldn't help but say.
"It's weird...... Lake Garon should be a lake rich in aquatic products. ”
Bruno lay on the ice, his head off the side of the iceboat, his eyes were level with the water, and he carefully observed the movement under the lake, and found that there was not a single fish in the water:
"But this is a dead lake, has it been poisoned?"
"That's not right...... It's not that there's a problem with the water, it's ...... in the lake."
As the black-haired knight spoke, the lake suddenly swelled unexpectedly, and a roar filled his ears.
A whirlpool opened in the center of the lake, and the water swirled and descended in a torrent like a mountain collapse, followed by a roar that broke the surface of the water and spewed out a large amount of foam. These foams are like snowflakes mixed in the rain, dripping into the lake without change, but when they fall on people's bodies, they freeze and solidify immediately.
A Scourge Knight was drenched in snowflakes, and half of his body immediately turned into ice bumps, and it took a lot of effort to break it apart, and his face turned purple and pale, obviously injured.
"There's a monster in the lake!"
Lydia's eyes were sharp, and she vaguely saw a snow-white shadow in the whirlpool flickering away, and immediately reminded everyone.
“......”
Without saying a word, Yalei rushed to the ground and jumped high along the parabola, plunging into the whirlpool like a heavy meteorite.
The black-haired knight had just jumped into the whirlpool when the black water suddenly fluctuated violently, and huge folds appeared upward, closing around him. At the same time, a suction force came from the bottom of the lake beneath his feet, pulling Yalei deeper.
