Chapter 550 (1/2)
The clear blue sky and the placid gem River; The creaking of the deck in the rickety cabin; The cool breeze blew from the window, and the white linen curtains gently brushed past the bed.
The blond hair was scattered by the pillow. The young man lying on the bed had quiet and lazy eyes. A pair of red pupils under the soft eyes looked out of the window.
”Sea water... What are you asking?
... is an eternal question;
Sky... What is your answer?
... is eternal silence. ”
The pale boy gently opened his bloodless lips and murmured in a low voice; Slowly stretched out his right hand, and his pure eyes passed through the gap between his five fingers.
The clear blue seemed to be like his crystal clear heart, with a trace of hesitation
”Pa!”
The expressionless black haired wizard suddenly appeared and closed the window with his other hand.
”Dear Loren, you're back at last.” Asriel, who was lying in bed, was not embarrassed at all. He smiled politely. His child like smile could melt the ice and snow: ”I've been waiting for you for a long time!”
What does it mean to finally come back... I haven't left, okay?
Resisting the impulse of convulsions in the corners of his mouth, Loren looked down at the clever boy on the bed: ”it's clear that I'm the one who was seriously injured... Why are you lying in bed?”
”Probably because... There was no one in this bed?” Asriel blinked. ”And I think as your friend, I have the responsibility to keep my dear Lauren warm at any time.”
For a moment, Loren wanted to strangle him and throw him into the gem River to kill without leaving a trace.
”Sorry, but I'm not interested in the warm quilt of an evil god, let alone you, a vampire. It's clear that you are a cold-blooded animal.” the black haired wizard with white eyes twitched at the corners of his mouth and waved his hand:
”Now get out of my bed, now.”
Asriel's face immediately showed an expression of grievance, and his scarlet eyes seemed to cry.
The next second, he was carried by the black haired wizard with his collar and thrown into the corner like a doll.
Ignoring Asriel, who pretended to be full of grievances, Loren, who was seriously injured, had to lie down and rest for a while even if he walked a little - even if Edward could avoid it, even if he recovered faster than ordinary people, and the penetrating injury to his heart and lungs could not be done in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the closed, narrow cabin, water on the table and several pieces of food for dry bread... These are the ”meat ticket treatment” Lauren got after agreeing to the tax of one million silver coins for ”Captain Black sparrow”.
But if you look closely, you can find many suspicious things - the door lock of the cabin door is not inside the door, but outside, and even the door shaft is stuck from the outside.
The sound of footsteps coming from the walkway outside the cabin proves that at least five or six people are wandering outside all the time, and at least two people are watching outside the door motionless. Only people come to change shifts when they eat and sleep every day;
Even under the only ventilated window, there are always people lying next to them, holding a crossbow and a short knife to eavesdrop - such strict prevention is not inferior to the courtyard in summer.
Of course, I have to thank a young man... It is because Loren talked to him again and again that the thieves outside the house felt wrong again and again, but in the end, they also raised their vigilance because they couldn't find anyone.
Even the things on his body were not bad. All of them were taken away by Captain ed - not even the ”caster”, but only the clothes worn by sailors.
So the ”black sparrow captain” Ed is not as stupid as he looks.
He is greedy but not stupid... I'm afraid he hasn't fully believed his words so far.
But it doesn't matter, because he wants a ransom of one million silver coins!
From coma to waking up, Loren noticed several things.
First of all, the place where they found themselves should not be far from the port of the imperial capital, but it is not very close;
