Vincent no longer hesitated, rushed over, came behind the sailor, and said in a deep voice: "Friend, please stay!"

When the sailor heard Vincent's voice, he stopped suddenly, but did not turn around. Wei En followed Vincent, looked at his back carefully, and suddenly sighed: "Ruola, with your figure,

A sailor is too slender."

The sailor's back trembled slightly, and he slowly turned around. Using the bright moonlight, Vincent took a closer look and saw that his face was darkened, but his eyes were shining, showing anger and helplessness.

In such a mood, her two thin lips were pursed high, who else could it be if she wasn't Ruola?

Wei En said slowly: "Ruola, Ruola, why are you so stubborn? You don't go to school when you should, but instead you come here to be a sailor. I really admire you."

Ruola stood there blankly listening to Wei En's accusation without saying a word. Vincent sighed and said, "What should I do?"

Wei En said: "What can we do? We can only wait until we get off the ship and ask the captain to send him back to Fort Rio."

Ruola was still silent, staring at Wei En. After hearing Wei En's decision, her eye circles slowly turned red. After a while, tears poured into her eyes. The sea breeze blew Ruola's thin sailor uniform, and she

Her body shrank a little, her dark face and eyes were red, like a girl next door who had been wronged but couldn't tell her. Wei En felt a little unbearable when he saw Ruola, who had always been powerful in normal times, become like this.

I can't change my words.

The three of them stood in a stalemate on the deck for a while, and Vincent coughed: "Ruola, be obedient, we are doing this for your own good..."

"Who said that I have the potential to become a sword priest? Who said that I can succeed as long as I work hard? You usually talk nice, but who has actually helped me? You might as well kill Qing, she is so kind.

You gave me some pointers." Ruola finally couldn't help it and shouted with a cry. Other sailors on the deck heard the woman's voice and looked over curiously.

Wei En and Vincent were immediately stunned by Ruola's questioning. What she said was indeed the truth. Although they did not promise anything to Ruola, after giving others hope of working hard, they no longer cared about it.

, it sounds like they were at fault.

"Wei'en, I think this time should be a good training opportunity. Let's take her with us." Wei'en's ear heard a ruthless voice. At this time, her consciousness had returned to the dagger Wei'en carried around her waist.

superior.

Wei En thought to herself: "We have no confidence in going to Rhode Island this time. The luck is uncertain. I'm afraid it will only harm her."

"If there is no danger, how can we improve? What's more, if there is any danger, how can you be more effective than Ruola?" There was a trace of ridicule in Zhu Qing's tone.

Wei En was speechless and thought for a while: "Ruola, don't cry. You go back to the cabin and wash your face first. We will discuss it later."

After Ruola washed her face, Wei En and Vincent discussed it and decided not to send Ruola back to the royal capital, but the premise was that she must obey Wei En's arrangements and not act willfully. Although Ruola was not happy, she still agreed.

Come down.

Then, Wei En asked Ruola how she got on the ship. Ruola said that one of her classmates knew the boatswain of Mayflower. She spent some silver coins to bribe the boatswain in the name of working part-time during the holidays.

Then he got on the ship. After hearing this, Wei En said strangely: "How do you know that we will definitely get on the Mayflower? If we get on another ship, wouldn't your plan be in vain?"

Ruola said: "Xiao Te takes such good care of you on weekdays, why would he let you go out to sea on an ordinary passenger ship? The most comfortable ship in Xiao Mansion is of course the Mayflower. I invited the boatswain to have a drink, and he told

I'm going to sea in the next two days. So I decided to take a gamble. At worst, my money will be wasted."

Wei En nodded and said, "I didn't expect that I really got you right. Ruola, I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've seen you cry."

Ruola snorted softly: "Isn't it particularly ugly? What I hate most is that women always shed tears."

"Who said that? I think Chu Chu is pitiful and touching." Vincent, who had been listening nearby, suddenly interjected.

Ruola's face suddenly turned red. She didn't expect Vincent to say such a thing, and muttered: "Actually, it doesn't matter if he is sent back. I just feel a little sorry for my silver coins, which my father gave me.

Half a year’s living expenses.”

Wei'en and Wenset laughed loudly, and Wei'en said: "You are willing to spend your money. With your persistence, I dare not not take you there. Otherwise, when you return to Fort Rio in the future, you still don't want me."

Brain?"

"Humph, your life is not worth my living expenses."

After the storm passed, Wei En found the captain and told him that he had changed his original itinerary and asked him to find a secluded and suitable landing point. The captain was a little embarrassed after hearing this, fearing that Xiao Te would be blamed if something went wrong, so Wei En had to promise

After receiving some benefits, I reluctantly got his consent.

On the sixth day at sea, everyone stood on the bow of the ship and looked far into the distance. Finally, they saw a shadow of land on the horizon. Rhode Island was only half a day away. In the evening, the Mayflower stopped.

Two sailors rowed a lifeboat and sent the three people to the shoal. Watching Wei En and others land on land, the second officer of the Mayflower released a white homing pigeon from the stern of the ship. The destination of the homing pigeon's flight was Rio.

Baoxiao Mansion.

Wei En and the others went ashore and walked along the coastline for nearly half an hour. Wei En and the others took advantage of the darkness to enter a small town and stayed in a hotel in the town that night. After dinner, something happened before falling asleep.

I had a little accident. It turns out that this town is a resting place for ships going to and from the sea. The residents in the town are engaged in sailors' business, and there are also some haenyeo who make money by adjusting the boring life of seafarers at sea.

.There was only one woman among the three people. Several Haenyeo came to Wei En's room to inquire. Wei En was at the door after listening to the purpose of his visit, and he was pondering before he could express his position. He was discovered by Ruola who happened to come out of the room to wash her face. Ruola was furious.

, and blasted them all out.

Wei En looked at the angry Ruola and said, "Just reject them, why bother getting angry?"

Ruola glanced at Wei En and said, "How dare you say that? If I hadn't happened to bump into you, you would have let them into the house."

Wei En said sternly: "Ruola, you are looking down on me. Am I the kind of person with bad character?" After saying that, he immediately laughed and said deliberately: "At best, I will let one

If you enter a house, too many people will hurt your health."

"You..." Ruola glared at Wei En with an angry look on her face. After a while, she turned around and entered the house, slamming the wooden door with a bang.

Wei En glanced at Vincent who came out of the house after hearing the sound and stood at the door. He shrugged and said, "Oh, what a child."

"Do you really want to taste the sea?" Vincent asked with a smile.

"I don't want to, but I won't look down on them because of this. Ruola's reaction was a bit too intense, and I couldn't stand it, so I was angry with her."

After a night of nothing, the three of them went to bed early. After a few days of wandering life, when Wei En was lying on the bed, he felt the benefits of being solid on land for the first time. He must have a good dream tonight.

At this moment, on the Mayflower, which was drifting on the sea, a dark figure sneaked up to the stern of the ship, looked around, took out a dove from his arms, and threw it into the sky.

With wings, fly away into the distance.

Early the next morning, Ruola dragged the two of them up. The three of them bought some horses in the town and quickly left the town, heading towards the hinterland of Rhode Island. As the route continued to extend,

The cool and moist sea breeze gradually disappeared, the climate and temperature became dry and hot, and the plants on the roadside gradually decreased and were replaced by rolling hills and hard soil.

The hinterland of Rhode Island is sparsely populated, and towns are far apart. After three days of camping in the wild, at noon on the fourth day, they saw the city of Massa from a distance.

The city of Massa is built on the mountain. It is not a big city, and the city walls are low and rough compared to Fort Rio. It seems that it has not been tested by any war. The three of them slowed down and walked slowly along the mainland.

The city gradually grew larger.

When approaching the city gate, Ruola suddenly pointed to the side of the city and said: "Look!"

Everyone looked around and saw an ancient castle standing alone on a hill with rugged rocks and little vegetation behind the city of Massa. Without the cover of green trees, the castle became desolate and forbidding in the background of the mountains.

, like a lonely and indifferent giant, coldly overlooking the pedestrians passing by on the road.

Vincent reined in the horse and said, "That is the Castle of Saramento."

Wei En squinted his eyes and looked at the castle: "I think this castle is very impressive. Compared with it, the city of Massa immediately lost its momentum.

Vincent reined in the horse's reins and said: "In the past, when Duke Richelieu was still alive, he imposed excessive taxes and his reputation was not very good. He built the castle here according to the standards of a military fortress. One was to facilitate the taxation of passing business travelers, and the other was

One reason was fear of uprisings by tenant farmers."

Wei En smiled and said: "Stingy people are often timid. This Duke is an example."

The three of them then entered the city and found a hotel to settle down. When it was time to turn on the lights, they came to two taverns and found that business in each tavern was light and there were not many people. Wei En chatted with the tavern owner for a few words, and the owner seemed to be used to it.

In order to meet a strange stranger, Wei En's tone was lukewarm, so Wei En spent some silver coins and only got some basic information.

Back at the hotel, the three of them gathered together to discuss. Wei En said: "The number of adventurers who came to Massa City in the past two years is no longer what it used to be. It seems that the reputation of this castle is getting bigger and bigger."

Ruola said: "Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Wei En glanced at Ruola and said, "What? Are you scared?"

Ruola shook her head and said: "This time I can bring the cross that Bishop Howard personally blessed. If there is a ghost, it will definitely walk around me when it sees me. But you, be careful of being caught by the ghost."

Wei En chuckled: "By the way, Uncle Tuer said this. He said that your cross seems to be able to lift your fateful curse. Do you know why?"

"I don't know the details, but when the bishop put the cross on my forehead and prayed, I felt first possessed by a white light, and then my whole body was burning like it was on fire, which was extremely painful. Now that I think about it, I feel

I'm afraid, if he had known it was so painful, he wouldn't have let him pray for me even if he beat me to death." Ruola still had lingering fear on her face.

Vincent slowly said: "That is the light of judgment. It is an advanced white magic specially used to expel evil blood. It is one of the two major divine spells of the church along with the sound of punishment. However, it is actually very difficult for Howard to force you to cast an exorcism.

It’s dangerous, if you’re not careful your life will be over.”

"My dad said the same thing." Ruola nodded and said, "He said it was fortunate that I was young and the curse hadn't fully grown yet, otherwise I would have perished with the curse."

"Not only for this reason." Vincent continued: "Howard is also a relatively benevolent bishop. He should not take your life casually. I guess he must know that you have that special potential, so he

Dare to cast a spell by force."

"What exactly is this potential of mine?" Ruola asked doubtfully.

"I can't say for sure. But it must have amazing vitality. After the last curse Wei En put on you, someone else would have had to rest in bed for at least a few months, but you recovered in just a few days.

, although there is medicine sent by Max, it is enough to explain the problem."

Ruola said "hmm" and said leisurely: "I really miss the feeling of communicating with the heart and sword that time. Unfortunately, since then, it has never happened again."

Vincent said: "Take your time, cultivation is an arduous and long process."

Wei En asked: "Ruola, can your cross break the curse of others in your clan?"

"Probably not." Ruola thought for a moment and said, "My dad said that this cross has been registered with my blood, so others can't use it."

Vincent said: "Thank you, the cross alone is useless. It is just a channel for the bishop to communicate with the sinful spirits when he implements the light of judgment."

Wei En nodded, sighed and stopped talking. The three of them discussed for a long time, but couldn't come up with any good countermeasures. Finally, they decided to just have a good sleep and go directly to the mountain the next day.

At the same time, in a desert in the hinterland of Rhode Island, hundreds of tents were dotted here. One of the large tents was lit with candles, and two burly men were drinking rice wine in the tent.

"I have received news that Wei'en landed three days ago. It is estimated that he has just entered Massa City at this time." A big man with a red beard said.

"Then when should we leave?" another person asked.

"Don't worry. I have arranged spies in the city. According to the instructions of Lord Tangulas, unless Wei En really has the ability to come out of the castle alive, it won't be our turn to take action."

"I have already inquired about it. This Wei En is not a simple person. He has just been awarded the title of knight. You know, there are very few people in the entire continent who are directly awarded knights by the royal family without qualification verification, so we should be cautious.

"

"You worry too much sometimes. What happened to a knight? Even if he has great abilities, there are only three of them here. How can they be compared to the hundreds of warriors of our Desert Eagle?" Red Beard

He waved his hand and said proudly.

"There's something I've always wanted to ask. Why do you want to listen to Tangulas' command?"

"Oh, it's okay to tell you. If we let Wei'en disappear from now on, after the event is completed, Tangulas will give us a knighthood and enjoy all the benefits of the Crusaders."

"Brother, although our life in the desert was a bit difficult, we were free and never restricted by others. The church doesn't have any good things, so why should we be under their jurisdiction?"

Red Beard said displeased: "Do you want to die in this barren desert all your life? You don't know how glorious my life was along the coast. If it weren't for that damn Fontaine, how could I have fallen into this state?

To this point today? In the future, we will become crusaders, and with the protection of the church, I wonder if Fontaine will still dare to touch us?"

The big man still wanted to say something, but the red beard said: "Stop talking, the matter is settled. Come, drink!"
