Chapter 14: The Witch

On the morning of the fifth day.

The sea was still thick with fog.

"Amy! Why are you falling asleep here, kid?! Mike yawned and came out of the cabin, where he saw the boy sitting around the corner.

There was no barrel or anything on her side, so she was clearly not here to deliver food.

Zhou Tang was woken up by Mike, looking at her confused and clear eyes, Mike asked the question just now.

Zhou Tang was shocked, and there was a look of panic on his face, and he asked Mike rhetorically, "Uncle Mike, why am I here?!" Am I not resting in the cabin by the galley? When is it now? ”

She rubbed her eyes and thought to herself: she may have really entered a magical story.

I tried to recall yesterday's heavenly singing and chanting, but found that my head was empty.

Yesterday, she wanted to get close to the pit, but she didn't expect to be swallowed by the pit directly.

Mike looked the little boy up and down, and then carefully looked at her expression, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately became serious, "It's dawn now, you go back to the kitchen quickly, I still need your help in the kitchen." ”

"Go back, don't be afraid!" Mike reached out to pat the boy on the shoulder to comfort him, but his hand never fell into the air.

Zhou Tang didn't know what Mike thought of, but she seemed to see that Mike was a little scared, and this was not a good time to ask, so she nodded and walked to the kitchen a little confused.

When he returned to the kitchen, the fat uncle was already busy, and when he saw that the little boy was late, he was not angry, but said with concern, "Amy, you are late today." But feeling unwell? ”

Zhou Tang glanced at the fat uncle, his face was not red, and he snorted out without breathing, "Uncle, I... I slept in the cabin last night, but I woke up at the bottom of the ship this morning! It was Uncle Mac who woke me up. But I couldn't remember how I could get there. ”

She had to make up a good reason for herself to clear herself of the suspicion of going to the bottom of the ship on her own initiative.

The fat uncle looked serious, "What did you say?" Amy, do you know what you're talking about? ”

Zhou Tang lowered his eyes and nodded, "I seem to be enchanted, and I seem to have heard the call of some song." ”

The fat uncle's eyes widened, his face was ugly, he tore off the apron on his waist and abdomen, threw it vigorously on the wooden table, and then wanted to rush out, but the person stopped abruptly as soon as he came out of the kitchen.

"Amy, you go and deliver the food first, and we'll talk about it when you come back after delivering the food! Until then, no one is allowed to tell about it. The fat uncle sternly admonished.

"Also, talk to Mike and tell him not to talk nonsense."

Zhou Tang showed a panicked expression and nodded solemnly.

Immediately, she gave breakfast to everyone with a calm face.

While delivering meals to the slaves and nobles in the cage at the bottom of the ship, Zhou Tang relayed the fat uncle's words to Mike.

The same request was made as yesterday, and he wanted to take the baron's bodyguard, a good comrade-in-arms who had helped the pirates through the storm, out to open a small stove.

Mike agreed.

Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu came to the cabin of the small boat that had not been here for a long time again.

Zhou Tang's face was ugly and said, "Last night I came to the vicinity of the cage and heard the slave chanting and the unusual heavenly singing, and then I didn't wake up. ”

Cheng Mu was the same last night, he spread out his hand, and there were two balls of cloth on his palm, "The slave's chanting has a hypnotic effect, but I didn't hear any heavenly singing. I tried to stuff some cloth in my ears, probably it didn't work well, and I didn't last long before I went to sleep.

But I saw the dark red glow, and it was drawn in a weird, uncomfortable pattern. ”

He seemed to feel the coldness on it.

Zhou Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he guessed, "This copy is very abnormal, with a little more magical color."

Let me think, this is an ancient blue star medieval pirate ship, what kind of magical existence is there on this continent? Could it be a witch?! ”

She grabbed the flash of spiritual light in her head, and looked at Cheng Mu with bright eyes.

Cheng Mu felt that the little boy's eyes were as dazzling as gems at this time, making him lose his mind for a moment.

Zhou Tang looked at Cheng Mu who was distracted, and said a little unhappily, "What do you think?" ”

Cheng Mu thought back, "Witch? What is Witch? ”

Zhou Tang frowned and realized that the witch belonged to the ancient blue star, and in the distant interstellar era, no one except those ancient historians knew or cared about what witches, including witches and the derivative stories behind them.

She sighed and explained resignedly, "Witches can use witchcraft and magic to create a series of supernatural events, that is, things that cannot be explained by existing logic. Just as we heard the chanting and singing, we went into a dream without any resistance. ”

Cheng Mu frowned slightly, "It sounds like the witch's ability is very strong, and we don't seem to have the ability to compete with it." ”

And is the baron coveting the witch's abilities by putting himself in a cage for his own legitimate?

Zhou Tang shook his head slightly and said, "Because of the ability of witches, if you meet a witch in the Ancient Blue Star Middle Ages, you will burn the witch to death!"

It is a bloody history, and countless people have been killed by mistake. But because of the special abilities and threats possessed by witches, ordinary people would rather kill by mistake than let go. ”

So did the captain and the others know that there were witches in this group of slaves?

She continued to reasonably speculate, "There must be someone in that group of slaves who knows how to do sorcery, plus the weird pattern you said, and the singing from afar..."

Zhou Tang seemed to think of something, "I know what they're doing!" They're calling... Devil. When the devil comes, we won't be able to live. ”

Cheng Mu was surprised, "Devil?!" ”

She replied, "I don't have time to explain that much now, if you're interested, you can search the Star Web for the history of the Ancient Blue Star after clearing this copy of the game."

I think the dark red pattern you see is a formation that summons demons. Last night's singing seemed far away from us, and there was a little bit of something strange I felt when I stepped into the bottom of the pirate ship last night. ”

Cheng Mu pondered, "Either we can find out what is hidden in the slaves... The witch deprived her of the ability to continue her actions or destroy the formation that summoned the devil. ”

Mike was already urging outside the door, and Zhou Tang had to speak quickly, "I will find a way to resist singing and singing as soon as possible, as long as we are not affected by the voice, we will be more than half successful." ”

Cheng Mu nodded, took the hard biscuits handed over by Zhou Tang, and turned sideways to let Zhou Tang open the hatch.

Zhou Tang returned to the kitchen with the empty wooden barrel.

I saw the fat uncle pacing anxiously inside, and as soon as he saw Zhou Tang, he pulled her out, "Amy, you come with me!" Leave these barrels alone. ”

"Uncle!?"

"Let's go find the captain. The captain will tell us the answer. The fat uncle replied casually.
