Chapter 41 How to deal with pollution
Mary and Thoma exchanged an uneasy look and watched quietly as Aaron excitedly sat back at his desk.
Aaron's body was still shaking with excitement when the tip of the pen landed on the paper, but his arm and right hand were kept steady by special control, so that the handwriting would not become distorted and blurred.
Not long after his letter began, there was a knock on the door of the captain's quarters.
"Aaron, get out of the item that needs to be decontaminated." As soon as Alexander walked in, he noticed that Aaron's expression was unusually strange, and subconsciously looked at Mary and Thomas, "Aaron just fell into a special state again?" ”
Mary pouted: "Yes, it seems that she was saved by the princess?" ”
Aaron ignored them, but turned to the direction of the door, looked at the guest who had not entered the captain's room, and smiled sincerely from the heart: "Miss Hamel, thank you for your assistance just now. ”
"Me?" Esther was at a loss, "I didn't do anything just now?" ”
"Of course, that power doesn't come from the Clover, but from you, and thanks to you, I'm able to stabilize my current state...... Don't know which amazing item you've chosen? ”
Esther raised her hand, the patterns on her hands surging, her palms parting together, and she pulled the bone sword out of her palm.
The moment the bone sword appeared, Mary and Thoma entered a state of stress, and the revolver in Mary's hand raised the muzzle of the gun and looked at Esther nervously and worriedly.
Thoma took out a scroll directly from his bosom, and waited for Aaron to speak and give the order to attack: "Alexander, stay away from her!" ”
Alexander patted his heart and replied, also in Intis, "I used that thing for divination, and she has no problem." ”
Aaron glanced at Esther and the bone sword in her hand, and after he nodded, Esther fused the bone sword back into her hands.
Aaron thought: "Can you control it?" ”
"Well, you just think I have a special physique."
Thoma shook his head again and again: "Such a powerful force is not something that ordinary people can compete with!" ”
He almost said "you have a big problem".
Esther leaned against the door frame and looked at Thoma helplessly: "The contract I made with Mr. Alexander is still there, and the oath I made at that time was not broken by the power contained in this bone sword, which should explain a lot of things?" ”
Aaron thought of a possibility: "Miss Hamel, are you a god?" ”
Esther rubbed her right eyebrow in annoyance: "You can also say that. ”
"If there is the blessing of the power of the true god, it is normal for the bone sword to be sealed. Fusing the host's bones is also part of its instinct," Aaron walked over to the closet, pulled a handful from the key on his waist, and began to unlock a sealed safe, "It is possible that the favored person will suppress it with the gift of the gods. ”
Thoma's gloomy gaze swirled between the two: "Doesn't that mean she's more dangerous?" ”
"No, you're not going to hurt the Clover, are you?"
Before Esther could answer Aaron's rhetorical question, Alexander suddenly said, "The Clover just now absorbed her blood. ”
Aaron showed a look of sudden realization: "I see! No wonder the princess ......"
He broke in the middle of his sentence, which made the skeptical Thoma feel angry, since Hamel boarded the ship, Aaron's state was even more strange than usual, and if it weren't for the fear that Hamel was still in the house, Thoma would probably continue the previous argument.
"Miss Hamel, come here."
As he spoke, Aaron pulled out a small bronze box, which was bigger than a slap, and glanced up at Alexander.
Alexander understood what Aaron meant, and after Esther had fully stepped into the room, Alexander went over to the crystal ball embedded in the wall and patted it.
A green curtain of light suddenly emerged from the walls, isolating everyone in the captain's quarters.
"Please understand the necessary means." Alexander said politely.
Esther gave Alexander a strange look, "You can do the same in the collection just now, right?" Isn't it better than to endure the negative effects of that necklace? ”
"Because I'm also curious about what will happen if you take down that bone sword." Alexander was completely unaware of his weakness on the surface, but Mary and Thomas's reprimanding eyes said a lot.
It was only because of his curiosity that he allowed Esther to come into contact with the Bone Sword, "respecting her wishes".
Aaron also lifted the bronze box at this time, revealing the rusty iron key inside, the key itself was not large, only half a palm's length, but it looked full of weight.
Esther looked at the contents of the box and felt a slight salty and spicy aroma coming from it. This was a bit of a surprise to her, she had expected that what would make Aaron so interested would be a more powerful and precious magical item: "A key? ”
"Yes, but we can't use it because of the contamination that remains on it."
"What era is it from?"
Aaron was surprised: "Fourth Age, you are also interested in studying the past era?" ”
Esther shook her head a little disappointed, "If it were a more distant mythological age, I would have made a request to follow you on an exploration, Fourth Age...... Forget it. ”
After Aaron placed the box on the table, Alexander took out an octahedral crystal with a smooth and clear facet from his bosom, and a wisp of white mist was faintly flowing in the crystal. Alexander placed the crystal next to the box, and after putting on the black gloves in an orderly manner, he politely spread out his palms:
"Then I'll bother you, just transfer the stolen pollution to this."
Esther moved the palm of her right hand: "But I haven't tried this kind of thing before, and I can't guarantee that it will meet your requirements." ”
Aaron suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, my luck has always been good. ”
Esther could see the pent-up frenzy in his eyes, which made her look away and take two steps forward, standing at the table, opening her palm towards the key and holding it gently.
She seemed to grasp something, an illusion between concept and substance, and Esther clenched her fists, feeling the irresistible aroma coming from between her fingers.
She looked at her right hand and blinked, then made a move that made the eyes of the others almost pop out—
Esther raised her hand to her mouth, then released her palm.
A clear swallow sounded in the captain's room.
This time, everyone, including Aaron, neatly took two steps back, trying to get away from the lady who had gone from "suspicious" to "terrible".
Esther covered her mouth, obviously smelling salty and spicy, but it tasted like rotten bitter ink, which made Esther's face gloomy. It was so different from that desperate craving that it made her feel very sick in her stomach and a nauseous feeling of wanting to retch.
The psychological gap is also very large, which is completely opposite to smelling very stinky and eating delicious food!
The moment she swallowed the strange object, Asther seemed to hear some kind of call, repeating "Hornakis" and "Fregra", but the whispers dissipated in an instant.
Esther maintained a posture of covering her mouth and looked at Aaron, "Do you have anything to drink here?" I'm a little nauseous. ”
Aaron opened the secret compartment under the table: "But I only have wine here, do you want cherry shochu, apple brandy?" It's still simpler......"
Thoma felt helpless at the loss of emotional management: "It must be simpler! Shut up! Give her the whole bottle of the most ordinary Bai Danxia! ”
"My bottles of Bai Danxia are not ordinary!"
Aaron retorted, uncordoning a bottle of sweet white wine and shoving it into Esther's hand.
Esther really didn't care, as long as she drank anything now, she tilted her head back into the bottle and swallowed, pouring it for a long time to dilute the disgusting taste.
I always feel as if I've done something similar before...... Esther wiped the wine from her lips and smacked her lips, her face gradually turning crimson, but her eyes were quite calm and clear.
The alcoholic aftertaste is full of sweet and sour fruity aromas, and you can clearly taste the flavors of apple and citrus, and the taste is slightly sticky.
Seems to be quite delicious? Esther thought to herself after exhaling comfortably.
The frenzy in Aaron's eyes is finally gone, replaced by the heartache of seeing others "violently destroy heavenly things", especially this is still his treasure.
Alexander looked Esther up and down, guarding against her possible mutations: "Are you really okay?" ”
"Nope."
"Won't get out of control or ......"
Asther knew what Alexander meant, and he feared that after Esther's violent death, Pollution would get out of control along with the bone sword, and the "Clover" would be miserable.
Esther shook the remaining half of the bottle in her hand: "It's okay, I'm really fine." ”
“…… It's okay. Aaron looked a little depressed, for Esther had no intention of returning the rest of the white danxia to him, "Mary, you can send our guests back to the house." ”
Alexander walked over to the green crystal ball again, slapped it twice, and the light curtains on all sides of the wall disappeared. After the two ladies left, Aaron closed the box containing the key and sat down in his chair with a dejected face, rubbing his brow vigorously, as if he wanted to squeeze water out of his head.
"At least we have one more piece of good news......"
"It's two," Thoma said as he walked over to the table and took the key box back into the cupboard for Aaron, "it's going to be more good than good for us to get rid of that bone sword." As the Emperor said, 'The loss of a horse is not necessarily a bad thing for an old man, but it can also be a good thing'. ”
Aaron picked up the pen again and continued to write the previous letter: "I hope the teacher won't be angry about it." ”
"No, that one must have known that you only had a pea-sized brain." * Thoma replied indifferently.
"That's why the teacher sent you to my ship, didn't he? Take four hundred louis from my safe and give it to Miss Hamel. ”
Alexander had to remind Aaron: "The reward we agreed on is 500 louis and 10,000 fergin." ”
Aaron sneered twice: "I always have to take back the wine money, that's private brew!" I've already given her a fair price! ”
* There is also the metaphor of pumpkin seeds and chickpeas, derived from the typical misunderstanding that intelligence and brain are proportional, but interesting.
