Chapter 602 (1/1)
”Whoa, whoa!” Qili raised her hands in exaggeration and screamed. But the witch's expression does not have any fear, but the smile is more obvious. She knew that the net worm did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. Even in this case, the nature of the mercenary is still a reminder that the latter can not make any irreversible results. The arm holding the dagger was far less dangerous than it seemed. The direct evidence is that Ellie retreated two steps backward by the action of shouting, which was not enough to get her out of danger, but could gain enough time to cast before the dagger cut her throat. The webworm also knew this, but she didn't immediately follow up and put more pressure on the witch.
”Why don't you do it? This is not the time to joke. ” Peggy's voice came feebly from the terrace. She was struggling to move some kind of column almost the same as her height from the captain's cabin behind her. In order to keep the center of gravity from tilting, she took every step carefully, but even so, when she came to the steps leading to the deck, she could not carry out the carrying work by herself. Because the height of the column had covered her eyes, ”who's going to help me get this damn thing down?”
The net worm and Qili looked at each other for a few seconds. The maid took a deep breath, took the lead to put away the threatening posture and took back the dagger in her hand. However, before she went to help Peggy, she still gave the latter a hard look, the meaning of which was self-evident. However, Qili didn't seem to be afraid of it. She whistled leisurely and watched with interest as they worked together to move the column down from the terrace.
With a heavy noise, the column was placed under the main mast, and it was only then that the maid could see the details of what she was carrying. Generally speaking, it seems to be a stone totem, but different from the totem pole used in other tribes, the carving on this column is much more surprising. A large number of images of marine animals and seabirds surround the column, and in the middle of the column are carved with a circular pattern of sand, which seems to refer to the bottom of the sea. The lower part of the column is very dark in color, and the carved things have changed from clear to blurred. The carving at the bottom of the column is difficult to identify. It is just a large group of unidentified protrusions. It seems that the sculptor has only made a rough outline and made a rough knot.
”What is this?” The net worm wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked. Obviously, such pillars would not be used in ordinary navigation. And the maid vowed that the temperature she felt on her hands changed when she touched the pillar. The closer she was to the top of the pillar, the higher the temperature was, and the lower the temperature was closer to the bottom. If it's not magical, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
”Something that can take us out of here.” Peggy's physical strength was not comparable to that of a net worm. She pressed her hands on her knees and gasped heavily. She recovered for nearly a minute before she could straighten out her breath and say this. Then she stood up, looked at the mercenary's face and said seriously, ”don't worry about the count. The great Witch of the heartless sorceress is proficient in the way of dreams. If she wants to, it's just a little work to cure him. And I promise I can convince her to help us with Rosa's problems, as long as we can get to lost heart Bay safely
Compared with the two witches, although Peggy's body is small, her credibility is much higher than that of Qili. The webworm was silent for a moment. She had no choice now, nor was she able to tell what the witch said was true or false. But even if the sorcerers can't cure Lothar, landing on land will certainly help him more than continuing to drift on the sea. In this way, the mercenary nodded and accepted the little witch's suggestion. ”What can I do for you?”
”Let's get some seawater first, and we'll fill the hole.” Said peg, pointing to the groove at the top of the column, where there is a funnel-shaped hole leading to the inside of the column.
In principle, most of the columns are not hollow according to the weight of the columns. Moreover, the lower end of the funnel-shaped groove is even thinner than a person's pinkie. Even if the column itself has a certain height, it does not need too much sea water to fill it. But when the third bucket of water is poured in and there is still no overflow, anyone will realize how evil this thing is. Especially in the process of the mercenaries pouring into the water, the witches have been quietly chanting something beside the column, which further aggravates the strange feeling of the scene.
”GAH! GAH The fourth bucket of water, fill, Rao is the maid soldiers such soldiers also feel the pain in their arms. Just then, a harsh voice came from above the damned lady. Net worms raise their heads, and even fog enough to disorient ships cannot hide the bizarre birds known as fog crows. They are like vultures waiting for their target to die in the desert, flying in a ring shape and noisy. But just as the net bug was going to ignore them and continue to draw water, a fog crow came straight from the air, folded its wings, and hit the groove in the center of the column like a black arrow!
”What...” The maid turned her head and saw that the bottom of the originally dry groove was covered with blood and mixed black feathers. However, the water slowly overflowed. It's like a shark out of its nest after smelling the bloody smell. The seawater that has been poured in before rises from the small hole. However, no matter how high they rise, the blood and feathers at the bottom of the groove do not float with it. Instead, they all flow into the hole and disappear.”Are you coming or am I coming?” Peggy raised his head and asked Ellie, but in spite of this, in the usual attitude of the latter towards the former, in fact, PEG already knew the answer to the question. She picked up the stone knife on the pillar and prepared to cut her arm open. But the same white hand stopped her.
”This time I'll come.” Qili grabs the stone knife from her companion's inexplicable eyes. Without hesitation, she cuts open the palm of her right hand and places it on the top of the groove which is like a small pool, allowing the blood to drip under the action of gravity. Into the calm water.
”Tick!” The subtle sound should be clear in everyone's ears. Red blood in the sea water loose deformation, but soon, it condensed into a fixed body, a flying fog crow. The tiny fog crow circled in the water for several times, then stabilized in one direction and spread out its wings in a gliding posture.
”Let's sail. I don't want to wait for the spell to fail. We're still stuck here.”
