Chapter XVII. Transactions
In the middle of the night, the little boy opened his eyes at the fat uncle's snoring, and twisted his hands to quickly break free of the rope that bound his wrists.
She carefully climbed down from the foot of the bed, opened the hatch and slipped into her own cabin, neatly stuffed the cotton balls into the ear canal in a cylindrical shape, and finally completely sealed the ears with wax, completely blocking out the outside world.
Zhou Tang touched the flintlock pistol that had been loaded with ammunition behind his waist, and slowly walked to the bottom of the ship with an oil lamp.
Cheng Mu, who was already at the scene, inadvertently plugged his ears before going to bed, and ripped off his robe to wrap his head, looking like he was not approaching.
Xiaoxing and his wife asked him a few questions, but they didn't get an answer, and they thought he had fallen asleep early.
The baron glanced at Cheng Mu, his eyes full of mockery.
Cheng Mu's force made him jealous, but Cheng Mu's behavior made him spurn.
A backsliding.
At the same time as last night, a low chant was heard from the direction of the slave herd, and the crew members who had been guarding outside the cage all night stood up with a wary frown and asked, "What's going on?" What are you guys muttering? Is it not enough to be tossed? ”
Full of malice, rushing in the face.
The slaves stared coldly at the crew, and spontaneously and slowly parted ways, and a strange dark red pattern appeared on the bulkhead of the ship, and in front of the pattern sat a middle-aged woman with an indifferent expression.
The crew's eyes widened, and they stretched out their fingers to her, but before they could open their mouths and shout, they shook from side to side as if they were drunk, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.
Seeing this, the baron gently clutched the wound in his stomach and slowly crawled towards the slave herd to the middle-aged woman.
He was devout, "I ask the supreme gods to help me heal my wounds." ”
Someone in the slave herd was unwilling, "Why? This man watched us being tortured and interrogated by pirates, shrine maiden, we can't trust him, he is in league with pirates. ”
"His wife and children are as cold-blooded as him, and there is no good person among their nobles."
"We're far away from the city, and they're still not going to let us go, and he's going to hurt us."
"Yes, it would only be a blasphemy against our supreme god to let him join the pirates in the Endless Sea, and he would be buried in the belly of the Kraken."
The middle-aged woman glanced at the person who was speaking, then turned her gaze back to the baron, and the pressure fell on the baron.
She had never really believed in the Baron, and they had hoped to die with the pirates, but the Baron's appearance was uncertain.
To live, who wants to die.
The baron's hand covered the wound on his stomach and adjusted a slightly comfortable position, "Those pirates don't take me seriously, my wounds are caused by them, but the kid who hurt me still dangles in front of me every day."
If it weren't for the correspondence I had with their Pirate King, who believed I would have provided him with favorable information, they would have killed me long ago.
As for my wife and children, I am willing to sacrifice them to the Kraken to atone for their sins. ”
The baron had noticed a few days earlier that his wife and children had changed, and that they were becoming strangers and strangers, and that the wives and children who had relied on him for their survival had been dictating to him, disrespecting him, mocking him and vetoing him.
Speaking words that he did not understand, it was as if he was possessed by a demon, in which he pretended to be the same kind as them with difficulty, but fortunately, his wife and children were possessed by the demon and had no idea of his own, he said a few words and provoked a few words at will, and the demon acted in the direction he expected.
In the end, his dream came true, and although he paid a lot of money, he came to the cage, met the witch, and made a deal between the two.
If he gets the treasure in the hands of the witch in front of him, then his wife can be replaced, and his children can be again.
Sure enough, the slaves who heard these words looked at each other, and some couldn't understand that the baron could even give up his close wife and children, so could such a ruthless person really cooperate?
The baron lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, "They are my closest people, and it is my honor to dedicate them to the greatest gods, and if I can, I would prefer to stay by the gods and give everything I have." ”
The slave didn't know for a moment whether it was the baron's cold-bloodedness or his fiery devotion to the gods.
But there is no doubt that no one among the slaves was able to do this.
The middle-aged woman slowly stretched out her hand, and the baron changed his posture, from slumped to kneeling under the woman's outstretched hand.
The slave's intermittent chant sounded again, and the baron felt a strange power enter his body, and his body was indescribably comfortable, and the pain in his stomach was completely relieved.
During the day, he had secretly lifted his clothes to examine the wound, and the wound healed quickly, and he thought that the Arcana was really powerful, and he should not stay in the witch and the poor country, but in his hands, he could do great things with the help of the Arcana.
At this time, in the other corner of the cage, Cheng Mu slowly pulled down the clothes covering his head, and looked at the slave and the baron with half-squinted eyes, but he didn't expect that the little boy really guessed correctly, and he would not be bewitched again after cutting off the sound.
Because his ears were blocked, Cheng Mu couldn't hear the conversation between them, but he could barely distinguish the expressions of the slaves, as if they were not so friendly, and the honeymoon period of the first two days seemed to be frozen by the baron's indifference during the day.
It seems that their relationship is not unbreakable, but under the brainwashing of the baron's operation, their relationship is harmonious again.
At this time, Zhou Tang, who was at the corner of the corner, also saw the same picture, and at the same time, he also saw the crew members who were guarding falling to the ground.
To her horror, it seemed that the witches had become more powerful again, and the night before she had stepped into the bottom of the floor, it was unusual for her to be on the penultimate floor today.
Her gaze fell on the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman is mediocre in appearance, and she is inconspicuous in the crowd, which does not match the ugly face of the legendary witch.
The strange pattern behind her was bright and dark, and the reflection on the baron and the slave looked terrifying.
It's really the atmosphere group that arrives, and the weirdness comes.
Suddenly, the witch's gaze shot straight towards Zhou Tang, and that gaze seemed to be carrying countless ice arrows, and a cold chill enveloped her body.
This was followed by the gazes of the barons and the slaves.
Zhou Tang had already rehearsed the scene of being discovered.
Her hand carrying the oil lamp behind her back calmly moved in front of her, and she steadily walked past the fallen crew to the cage.
The baron was surprised, "It's you!" Only then did he see who was coming.
"Why didn't she fall asleep?" He quickly turned his head and said anxiously, for three nights in a row, he had witnessed many impossibilities.
Now there is an outlier that makes him hate the feeling of things being out of control.
The witch stood up and walked towards Zhou Tang, and saw the wax-sealed ears under the half-length curls that Zhou Tang had deliberately raised.
"Her ears are sealed." The witch's voice was hoarse, like sand rolling over her ears, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhou Tang held up a notebook at this time, only to see that it was written, 'He is not a good collaborator!' What do you think of me? ’
