Talking to the crown of thorns again surprised Lothar, who didn't think that the collapsed cavern would kill the husks, but he didn't think the little ones had the ability to escape from the depths of the ocean against the whirlpool. He thought he would never meet the Shell People again in his life, and he also believed that it would definitely be a good thing for the Shell People. After all, contact with humans is always inextricably harmed, and shell people don't have the self-preservation ability of krakens, so these little things born of thunder giants are more suitable for lying on the bottom of the sea.

But that was just wishful thinking on the part of the Earl, and for the Shell People, they didn't think that they should live at the bottom of the sea because their bodies were not good at sports, and after being trapped in that hollow with no light for a long time, almost every Shell Man was full of curiosity about the outside world. Of course, this curiosity is mixed with fear, so they are more willing to go with people they have come into contact with, such as Fioni and Jacquia, than to explore alone. Yes, while the Huntress and the Transfiguration are enemies in the Caverns of the Underground, what does that have to do with the Shell Man?

Back in the moment, while Thorncrown relayed the message commissioned by Fioni, Jaquia paused on the beach to look at the human city on the sand and land. To this day, she still doesn't like humans, which are barbaric and primitive in the eyes of the Kraken, ignorant and reckless, and obviously not capable of surviving in the sea, but they use materials that will sooner or later decay to build ships that are worthless before the waves. The Kraken does not consider it courage, it is a violation of natural nature.

But the huntress also found that looking at the human city from such a close distance, she did not have the urge to completely submerge the place with the sea. Jaquia's heart is always burning with the flame of anger, a trait that every hunter possesses, a trait that makes them passionate about each hunt and allows them to restrain their bodies to accomplish their goals. At the same time, it also gives them a cold-blooded and irascible disposition in the eyes of others. The flame in Jaquia's heart had not been extinguished, but she had understood that it should not be used against a specific prey or a single individual, as that would make the hunter forget the real danger. It was because of her blind hatred of humans that she and her people gave the Lietao clan a chance.

"Finished?" Lothar's change in posture caused the huntress to retract her attention, and she saw the human male in front of her place the crown of thorns on her shoulder, the harpoon in her hand finally lowered, "Do you understand what is going to happen here now?" ”

"Why did you come to warn me?" Lothar looked at Jaquia, who still remembered very well how the Kraken had ordered his men to kill him. It's hard for a person to let go of such a thing, so although Ping tried his best to keep himself calm, he lowered his harpoon and reached the earl's limit. He needs Jaquia to give a reason in order for him to really believe that this huntress is trustworthy.

"My people were betrayed by the people of the Lietao Clan, and they all died. Now, the Sharktooth Clan no longer exists. The huntress spoke calmly, not so calmly as if she were discussing the death of her people, but the merits of a painting. However, the brief pause after talking about the destruction of the clan still revealed that her heart was not as calm as it seemed, "Honestly, I don't care what happens to your people, you are human, I am a kraken. But what I don't want to see is that this bay belongs to a perfidious tribe. ”

Lothar blinked, he knew what the subtext of Jaquia's words was, the hatred of the slaughtered people was far above the racial contradictions, and this was also normal. Whether it is a human race, a kraken, or another intelligent race, they often hurt their own race much more cruelly than the other race. At the same time, however, the Earl also noticed that if Jacquia's people were killed by the Burning Waves during their attack on Heartless Bay, then the Huntress and her men were the only remnants of the Shark Tooth. And the one who left these remnants alone was probably the cave collapse caused by him piercing the giant's heart. The cause and effect of this is known only to Lothar, and he is the one who completely extinguished the hope of the Sharktooth Clan.

At this moment, the door behind the earl opened. "I didn't expect a guest to come so late. The networm leaned against the door and said. Judging from her unsurprised expression, it was clear that she had been awake for a while, and the mercenary must have heard about the conversation between Lothar and Jaquia just now.

Almost subconsciously, Lothar stepped between the huntress and the webworm in one step, and the harpoon that had just been lowered was raised again. Without looking back, he said to the people behind him, "You go back to the house first, and I'll take care of this soon." ”

Listening to the anxiety in the earl's voice, a smile appeared on the corner of the networm's mouth, and she knew that he was worried about her. So she didn't say anything more, and turned her head and closed the door.

After about some time, the waves rose and fell on the beach dozens of times, the wooden door of the hut was opened again, and Lothar walked in with a gloomy face, the shell man on his shoulder was gone. He first set his eyes on the mercenary, approached her cautiously, and said, "Didn't scare you, did you?"

"Do I look so easily frightened? Sometimes I think you're more nervous than I am, and don't forget which of the two of us is the one who gets pregnant. I don't think there's anything, but you seem to be getting more sensitive every day. Networm said with a smile, half-lying on the bed with a pillow on her waist to lighten the burden on her body.

"That's because... You know, I've never dealt with this condition. Lothar knelt on one knee beside the bed, took the webworm's hand, and scratched her face.

The mercenary's eyebrows raised, "Do you mean I have experience with pregnancy?"

"I..."

It was the first time since they knew each other that the networm saw the count with such an expression, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"If it makes you happy, I can keep doing it. Lothar said softly.

"No, you have a lot to do. I heard what the Kraken said to you, you have to warn the captain, you have to warn the witches. You can't become a fisherman who only knows how to guard his wife. You're not a fisherman either, because I never remember falling in love with a fisherman. ”

"But I have to take care of you here. ”

"Look at me, Lothar. The mercenary didn't call him tarantula, she called him by his real name," looking me in the eyes. Lothar did so.

The webworm looked into the Count's eyes, in which she could see her own reflection, "I really want to know what I look like in your eyes. Sometimes I think I know, sometimes I can't be sure. But listen, whatever you see me like, I can tell you what I see you like. You shouldn't be like that. ”

Lothar lowered her head, held her lover's hand with both hands, and did not speak for a long, long time.
