Chapter Seventy-Five: Cults
Leon felt a little baffled.
The normal script shouldn't be me saving your life, so you promise it in person?
Could it be that even "spare your life" in these years is equivalent to saving your life?
The mermaid said calmly: "Because I like your appearance very much, and can feel your tolerance and kindness, I hope to give birth to an heir with you, and also as compensation for offending you." ”
This time he understood.
Rao is Li Ang, who has seen a lot of winds and waves, and he is still a little incredulous.
Copulating as compensation?
Chill and shiver!
The world is full of oppression of women, even mermaids think about having children all day long, when will women really stand up?
The punch is over.
Leon refused: "Forget it, I don't have a hobby of casual mating, if you really need to reproduce with the opposite sex, you might as well consider my companion." ”
William's eyes lit up, he really wanted to try the exotic style.
The mermaid glanced at William, as if frightened, her eyes as pure as a fawn were full of dodge, and she shook her head again and again: "No, he's too ugly." ”
William was struck by lightning.
Chill and shiver!
The world is full of oppression of ugly people......
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't grasp the meaning of boxing, William would definitely have tears in his eyes.
Li Ang said: "Since you don't want to, forget it, we still have a task to do, and we are just resting here." Say goodbye. ”
"Wait a minute. "Are you bounty hunters?"
Li Ang frowned slightly and said, "Sort of." ”
A bounty hunter is a profession that earns a bounty by completing an employer's commission.
Strictly speaking, the Witcher is also included.
"Can I ask you for one thing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Li Ang would not agree, so she hurriedly added: "I will pay a gratuity, is this enough?"
She removed her necklace, which was mostly worthless colored shells, but the sparkling black pearl in the center made it invaluable.
Innelli swallowed, she also recovered from the cold at this time, and whispered: "It seems to be bigger than the black pearl in Charlemagne's crown, at least two hundred florins." ”
Li Ang frowned and said, "You say." ”
The mermaid worried, "One of my people went to the Rhine some time ago to find a mate, but has not been heard from yet, and I hope you will bring her back." ”
"Finding someone to task......"
Of the few most common commissions for bounty hunters, finding people is often the most time-consuming, and they're still in the middle of a trial.
Li Ang resolutely refused: "Forgive us for not being able to accept your commission. ”
William and Innelly didn't hold him back, they were short of money, but they were short of money because they had to purchase all kinds of potions, equipment, and props.
And the purchase of potions and props is to complete the grass trial, so they naturally will not put the cart before the horse because of their possessions.
The mermaid retreated, "I can go find it myself, I just hope you can keep me safe." ”
Inelli immediately muttered, "The Rhine is a good way, and she may not encounter any danger when she dives into the water." ”
Their original route was to travel along the Rhine through the HRE to Denmark and then by sea to Norway.
William didn't say anything, this honest man didn't like to use his brain, and his instincts told him that Innelly and Leon were trustworthy, so he trusted them unreservedly.
Li Ang nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
He is not short of money, but he also has to think about his two companions.
The mermaid said happily: "My name is Fina, and I will ask you for the next few days." ”
She tossed the necklace to Leon, and then said, "Please wait a moment, I will inform the people of my departure, and I will be back soon." ”
"Good. ”
Leon threw the necklace to Innelli and frowned, "She has a big heart, and she's not afraid that we will run away." ”
"Sure enough, it's good to have a little white face, and there is no shortage of stupid women everywhere you go. ”
Innelli has never been forgiving in her mouth, and she has the potential to be an onmyoji.
......
Due to its temperate oceanic climate and the fact that it flows through mostly plains, the Rhine rarely floods, and many fishermen rely on the river to earn a living.
In a tributary of the Rhine due north of the Alps, a fishing boat is slowly approaching the small pier of the fishing village.
The villagers came to the pier and cheered to welcome their relatives back with a full load of goods.
By this time, the style of painting was still normal.
But when the camera pans to the fishing boat, the style of painting abruptly changes to a dark wind.
I saw that on the mast of the fishing boat, there was a female corpse hanging with hemp rope and only the upper body left.
On the severed section of the female corpse, there are sections of internal organs hanging down.
The blood on her body had taken on a semi-solidified black, and some flies were crawling around on her, apparently dead for a long time.
"Unload!"
On deck, two sailors carried out large nets filled with catches.
And in that large net, a huge half-man-long fishtail is the most eye-catching.
The villagers shouted in surprise: "Sure enough, there are big fish!"
"The oracle is right, give it to God, and we will have eternal life, free from famine and plague!"
The captain with a great axe on his shoulders cut the rope from which the woman's corpse was hanging, grabbed her hair like a large fish, and jumped down the side of the ship.
The villagers flocked to him and returned to the village, only to see a corpse hanging from the tree and outside the thatched hut.
They look disorganized, but if you look down from the sky, you can see that they are faintly arranged in a six-pointed star array.
The captain took a wooden wedge and nailed the hands and head of the female corpse, which was only half of her body left, to a tree whose bark had been scraped off.
He then fell to his knees and chanted: "Praise be to the great God, we offer you a rich sacrifice and hope that you will be here......"
Boom –
The sky quickly darkened, and clusters of green flames lit up, reflecting a fanatical face like a demon in hell.
All the corpses quickly dried up, except for the female corpse that had just been nailed to the tree, and there was no change.
The flames flickered, and a roar like thunder rang out.
"The sacrifice is incomplete, offer the other half!"
The villagers were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
The captain quickly got up, dragged the net, dragged out the tail of the fish, which was half a man's length, and swung the hammer again, nailing it to the tree with a wooden wedge.
This time, the female corpses, including the fishtails, began to dry up, but the trend was noticeably slower than the rest of the corpses.
"I am very satisfied with this abundance of moisture. ”
The ghost fires quickly converged, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, forming a huge demon burning with flames.
"I will give you strength!"
It said loudly.
Immediately, the bodies of each villager were lit with green flames, and their eyes turned pale and there was no longer any brightness.
At this time, the Flame Demon chuckled and added, "And as a price, you will also pay for your souls." ”
