Chapter 6: Into the Pit

When he saw the rattan raging, Svek thought it was an illusion.

It wasn't until Captain Toniel shouted and the hull crackled that he knew it wasn't an illusion, let alone a magic trick.

I'll go!

Svek panicked, he had never seen anything like it.

Beach reacted, pulled out the heavy sword, and went to cut the rattan, the palace guards, they are all good at one in a thousand, and the rattan is constantly cut off cleanly in the swing of the heavy sword.

Sweiker didn't carry a sword, and he didn't have a sword.

However, despite the best efforts of Sveker's six men, not only could they not solve the crisis on the deck, but they were full of dangers.

Not only do rattans burrow into the cracks in the hull structure, but they also attack people, and they don't wait for the guards to hurt them with their knives.

Beechcraft was the first to be struck, caught in one foot by a rattan stick, and with a roar, he was released.

The terrifying rattan surged towards Beechcraft from all directions, and in a flash, Beechy was wrapped in the rattan and couldn't move, his face flushed, which was caused by the pressure of the rattan tightening on him.

Beach fell, and Satsuma and the others followed suit.

Toniel wanted to run, but was hit in the face by a rattan that suddenly bounced, blood flowed, he covered his face, desperately shouted: My lord, find a way to stop her spell, she is chanting a spell, hurry ---up, find a way!

Beechcraft yelled: "Head, kill her, kill her, I'm going to be strangled, I'm going to die." ”

Svek finally reacted, jumped in front of the wizard, and grabbed her by the neck: "Stop your magic immediately!"

The witch looked at him blankly, and said with difficulty: "Kill me, kill me." ”

Anna picked up a sword from the deck and held it in both hands, the weight of the epee seemed to be heavier than hers.

However, she grasped the sword like a sharp swordsman.

At this moment, she is not a little delicate, she is clearly a fierce female killer.

She sneaks up on Sveker from behind.

Beach saw it clearly.

"Head, watch your back, watch your back!"

Instinctively, Svek didn't look back, and kicked back, this kick right on Anna's stomach.

With a click, the heavy sword landed, and Anna was kicked into the air, over the side of the ship, and fell to the sea.

The moment it fell, Anna's hands clasped the side of the ship.

"Help!"

It wasn't Anna shouting, it was the weak cry of one of his men, who had been overwhelmed by countless green vines and couldn't see anyone.

"Interrupt your sorcery immediately, or I'll kill her!"

Sveck ran to Anna's side.

The sorceress clutched her throat, coughed violently, and glanced at Anna indifferently.

"If you want to kill, kill it, don't you like to kill innocents indiscriminately? If you kill her, you won't live. ”

As she spoke, her lips moved, and though there was no sound, Svek knew she was chanting a spell.

Svek was furious, trying to find a piece of rag to plug her mouth.

The green vine suddenly turned towards him, like life.

Svek leaped high, and the moment surrounded by green vines, he hugged the witch and put his big palm on the witch's small mouth.

The green vine no longer moves, nor does it grow and spread wildly.

They also lost their attack power, and Beechcraft got up from the green vines and gasped for air.

When Sveker's big hand left the witch's lips.

"Bastard!"

The witch slapped Sveker in the face.

"You're more of a jerk!"

As soon as Beechcraft came to him, he slapped the witch with a big mouth.

Five mudras immediately appeared on her pale face.

"Enough!"

Svek shouted angrily.

"She almost killed us!"

Svek took a deep breath: "Escort her down first, blindfold, hands and feet tied!"

"Yes!"

Beechcraft escorted the witch away before Svek pulled Anna up from the side of the ship.

"What happened, just now?"

At this time, Anna became a weak girl again, and there was no murderous look in her eyes.

Sveck stared into her eyes for a full ten seconds before Satsuma could take her off deck.

"She's lying!"

The captain ran over in a rage.

"Lie or not, you'll figure it out, are you okay?"

Toniel was fine, but he was not badly injured, and the bridge of his nose was almost torn off by a cane.

Looking around, and looking overhead, the sailor who was looking out was already stupefied, the rattan had spread to his feet, and he couldn't run if it weren't for the witch's spell not being interrupted in time.

He climbed down the mast.

"Captain, have we entered the forest?"

Toniel slapped the back of the sailor's head with a mission: "Idiot, forest mother, hurry up and check the damage to the ship!"

The sailor hastened to comply.

The witch was locked up in the dark room, and Beechcraft returned to the deck and asked Sveker, "Head, what is materialism?"

Schweik covered his face, he didn't know how to answer, it seemed that materialism didn't seem to fit in here.

Satsuma covered his bleeding ears: "Boss, this is the most defeated battle we have ever had, we were defeated by a bunch of plants, don't tell anyone about it when we go back, it's too embarrassing." ”

Tonier: "No, you should be proud, you have a face-to-face battle with the best witch in the mainland, the problem is, you have lost a little undignified, my lord, what do you think, she, but your lover." ”

Satsuma slammed: "Captain, shut your beak!"

Svek smiled wryly: "Didn't you say that the sea is boring, well, we have to help the captain repair the ship." ”

For three days in a row, the men on board the St. Louis were cleaning the green vines from the deck, as well as mending the damaged hull.

When he saw the cracked deck, Svek still had a cold sweat on his back.

If the sorceress's spell was not stopped in time, the ship would have been destroyed by the green vines, and he saw one of the thickest vines, more than fifty centimeters in diameter, on the second deck.

Fortunately, the main structure of the ship was intact, but the superstructure was damaged, and it was not enough to damage the bottom warehouse.

Of course, to completely repair it, you have to return to the shipyard, and some places cannot be repaired, and the cracks are too big.

As long as it doesn't get into a storm, Toller said, the ship can hold out.

When the captain said this, Svecker was relieved.

Something has happened, so the next step is to find out why.

Where did that seed come from in the witch's hand, that is the seed of life?

The Bishop had said that when the sorceress came aboard, she had been thoroughly searched, and that anything suspicious could not be brought on board.

At the time of the incident, Svek did not see the seed in the witch's hand, and the seed suddenly appeared in her hand.

Was it handed to her?

The hapless captain Toniel is inexplicably taken as a suspect.

The big ship was loaded with a large number of seeds, wheat, corn, soybeans, etc., and the recent buying and buying was sluggish, as long as there was money to earn, the most profitable goods in the past were spices, silk, and sometimes Tonier would take the risk of transporting slaves, and when he was hungry, he also transported seeds.

Toniel had been ordered to transport the seeds to the port of Nadagara in the country of Hughes, but just as he was about to leave, the Church temporarily requisitioned his ship, bought all the seeds on board, and gave Toniel a box of gold coins.

Based on the presence of seeds on board, Beach concluded that the seeds must have been done by Tonier, who was a spy and should be hanged.
