Section 26 The Other Shore (I)
PS: Today is still ten o'clock in the evening on time, see you or leave~
The sealed lid of the box was kicked open by Lance, and the pitch-black planks flew out horizontally, and some strands of hair were shaking wildly on them.
Syllable!
Dropping a piece of white crystal, the bright light suddenly illuminated the entire warehouse.
Lance looked down and saw that inside the box, there were more than a dozen human heads that had long since dried up!
These heads have iron skin, pressed against each other, and the skin on their faces is even stuck to each other in some places. Their eyes had long since weathered, and only their hair grew like weeds.
It's a pity that under the deterrence of the silver flying knife, those hairs have also become parted, and they can only obediently shrink in the box, motionless.
The originally fierce roar immediately turned into a low tremor and exclamation.
"Ahh
"Lance?" she looked at the contents of the box with a pale face, and immediately vomited again. Her voice was hoarse, not at all like a maiden, but more like an old witch.
"You're a little out of luck. Lance spread his hands: "The goblins in this box are the only thing on the entire ship that can cause substantial damage to our bodies. ”
Dora vomited for a while before she picked up Valerie, who was also weak. The two girls suffered a lot in front of these hairs, and both had some shadows psychologically.
Even if they are powerful wizards, when faced with such strange things. It will also produce some reactions that ordinary people should have.
"Thank you. Valerie looked at Lance gratefully, but her mind was clearly much more active: "Listening to your tone, you seem to have an understanding of what is on the ship?"
Dora reacted as well: "You said that this box of monsters is the only thing on the ship that can cause us substantial damage...... You mean there are other goblins, and those goblins don't do us any real harm?"
Lance nodded: "That's pretty much it." ”
With that, he shook his hand, and the two silver lines trembled slightly, and in the shadows, the little girl walked out with the little boy in her arms.
Illuminated by the light of the white crystal, Dora and Valerie noticed that the two children were not in sight.
"Spirits?" Dora's gaze at Lance was full of surprise, "When did you become a [Soul Caller]?"
"You can think I'm versatile. Lance said unashamedly, "Although I am not a soul caller or necromancer, there are still some means to restrain these spirits. It's just that I've had the good fortune to find the easiest way to do it. ”
"Mean and shameless fellow, I hate you. The little boy looked at Lance coldly, "You'd better not give me a chance." I'm going to eat you bite by bite!"
"Little brat. This ghost again. I'll kill you right away. Lance smiled, took out his throwing knife and shook it in front of the two spirits.
The little girl immediately grabbed the little boy and stopped him. But the little boy still looked at Lance with angry eyes.
His anger was vented on the little girl: "It's all you, dragging me back! Let this despicable demon succeed!"
The little girl in red lowered her head very aggrievedly. Overwhelmed.
Lance had no interest in listening to the little boy's nagging. He tossed the knife into the air. Then catch it quickly.
"Next, tell me the old man's secret. Lance said, "Don't worry, I won't kill him." I'm going to ask him to help me sail the boat." ”
The little boy yelled, "Don't tell him!"
"Anyway, we're already ghosts! Dead are dead! They can't escape, this ship will take them to the realm of the dead, they're dead!"
The little girl was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
A look of impatience appeared on Lance's face, and he slammed his grip on the silver thread in his hand, and the other end of the silver thread suddenly tightened even tighter.
The little boy fell to his knees in agony.
The little girl cried out with a crying voice, "Stop torturing him. I'll tell you everything!"
With another flick of his wrist, Lance loosened his grip on the little boy.
"Look, I'm still very talkative. He squinted and said to the little girl, "If you don't want to harm me, I'll even be happy to be friends with you, after all, I'm a very simple person." Don't continue to challenge my patience, I'll give you two minutes. ”
Dora and Valerie on the side saw this scene and looked at each other with a somewhat strange expression.
The former smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Lance...... Unexpectedly, you really have the temperament of a villain. ”
Lance was stunned and said, "You think my attitude towards them is too cruel?"
Dora hesitated, but nodded, "They still look like kids." ”
Valerie shook her head and said, "They may be older than you in this world, Dora. Don't forget that they are our enemies, and if it weren't for Mr. Reims, we would have been killed by their kind by now. Mr. Lance was right. ”
Dora bowed her head a little gloomily. She also knew that there was nothing wrong with Lance's approach, but for her, it was a little unbearable to torture two children, even if the other party was an enemy or a ghost.
This has nothing to do with experience, experience, or age, but is purely from the heart of kindness and compassion. Even if she just escaped death.
At this moment, Lance walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said gently, "Turn your head, plug your ears, don't look at it." ”
"You're a good guy. Dora. ”
"But with all due respect, along the way, because of your wrong decisions, we have encountered many senseless dangers. From this point of view, you are not a qualified leader. ”
"So, I'm sorry, from now on, I won't listen to your commands. Also, if you need our continued help, even if I ask you to share with us all the information you have about Sivare Castle. Otherwise, I choose to quit this adventure. ”
Lance's tone was calm, but this one sentence. But it was like a hammer that smashed into Dora's heart.
Her face became even more ugly, and her hands clenched into fists.
"Monsieur Lance!
Valerie said with a frown.
Although she was very moved by Lance's proposal, she suddenly felt a little unbearable when she saw Dora's lost soul.
"You're right, it's better to talk about this matter after I've got rid of the ghosts on this ship. ”
Lance turned to look at the two ghosts again, and motioned for the little girl to start talking.
At this moment, there was a muffled snort. It rang out from the floor on the side.
A hapless bastard who had been dragged by Lance all the way from the first floor to the staircase on the second floor woke up and turned around.
He clutched his nose in pain. While standing up, he asked vaguely:
", what the hell is going on? Who the gave me a punch?"
......
In the bilge, Sacra lay on the icy plank. His eyes stared blankly at the sky.
Beside him. There sat an old man cross-legged.
"You're strong. I like you a lot. The old man laughed.
Sacra said expressionlessly, "I didn't expect my spell to be ineffective against you. You are not an ordinary spirit. ”
"Obviously, this is nonsense. The old man was holding a quill in his hand, and he was writing twisted black symbols on the floor.
"Have you ever seen a spirit that can touch a physical entity, not to mention that I can write well. ”
"Why don't you kill me?" said the barbarian wizard with a frown.
Just now, after he solved the couple ghost in the bilge. He prepares to go up to the second floor to see if Dora and Valerie have been attacked by spirits.
Before he could walk up the stairs, he was caught off guard by a strange attack.
It turned out that the old man who launched the sneak attack was no ordinary spirit, and Sacra's sonic attack that was enough to shatter all spirits was ineffective against this old man.
Soon, he was put down by the other party.
But to Sacra's surprise, the old man did not rush to kill him, but began to take out a quill and write and draw on the edge of his body.
This strange process has been going on for more than ten minutes.
The old man was definitely not doing useless work, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but unfortunately at this time, he had fallen for some kind of evil magic of the old man. Don't say magic, you can't even move.
The old man smiled as he wrote: "I said it all, I like you very much, so I won't kill you." ”
"Most of the crew members on my ship have no talent, only a little kid has some potential, but that guy doesn't listen to discipline and has a bad temper, and sooner or later he will die. ”
"I think it's better to have another competent subordinate than to eat you. ”
Sacra frowned, "What do you want to do? I'm not going to be your subordinate." ”
"Don't talk too much. The old man put pen to paper and said, "This is a spirit transformation circle, and not everyone can become a spirit after death. But with this circle, the success rate has increased to at least 85 percent. ”
"I see. The barbarian wizard said quietly, "But you will not succeed." ”
"Oh, why do you say that?" asked the old man with interest.
"You came to deal with me personally because I was the first to kill those two ghosts, right?" Sacra said, "So you think I'm the strongest of the five, don't you?"
"That's true. ”
"But you're wrong. Sacra said categorically, "I'm not the strongest. ”
The old man frowned slightly, and then said, "So what?"
"That man is stronger than me, but the other goblins on the ship are weaker than you, what do you say?" Sacra asked rhetorically.
"I see. The old man suddenly smiled weirdly: "You are delaying yourself with time, what a smart guy." ”
"But there is some truth to your proposal, I will go and kill the guy who is stronger than you first, and then accept you as a new subordinate. ”
With that, he put the quill aside and stood up.
At this moment, a sudden colorful light shone into the bilge. Footsteps clattered from the stairs.
"No need. I'm already here. ”
Lance's figure gradually appeared, followed by Landry who gritted his teeth, and two girls.
He carried an old urn in his arms and a silver throwing knife in his hand.
"Hello, Captain Breham. Lance greeted politely and said, "I am Lance, and I would like to discuss with you about the course of this ship." ”
With that, he raised the urn and the flying knife in his hand, and said calmly: "My partner and I don't want to go to the realm of the dead, how about sending us to the [other side]?" (To be continued......)
