The moon is dim and the stars are bright, and the yellow sand is quiet. It should be a peaceful night, but the Fuxing is lifeless. In the stable, two sand thieves are sleeping here, the snow-white Pegasus is leaning weakly in the corner, and there are people whispering in the corridor.
Hiding aside, he secretly unscrewed the pendant around his neck and drank something.
On the dilapidated back deck of the airship, the evil ghost leaned against the stern guardrail, looking at the stars in the sky with his thoughts wandering, and he was in a daze. Someone came behind him, but he did not react.
"Tell me your conditions, there's no need to waste any more time." Bing Zhixie stepped forward, while Silio leaned against the hatch and watched.
The evil ghost did not look back and looked at the starry sky and said: "You think that I am threatening the water source to benefit from you. It is not right to think so. Things that are valuable to you are meaningless to me.
."
"Speak more clearly."
The evil ghost said: "I will go to such a dangerous place to help Redrick slay the dragon. To be precise, I will help Redrick slay the dragon. Do you believe it?"
"I don't know who you are, but you didn't take any action during the battle between Redrick and Cang Ye."
"It's not that I don't want to take action, it's just that I don't have a chance." Evil Ghost said: "I am an old acquaintance with Redrick's father, the old leader of the Sun Dancers. His family lives in seclusion in the Sea of Forgotten desert. I am killing the dragon.
I helped him in this matter because I wanted to lend him the power of the Sun Dancer in exchange for him helping me."
"So that's it."
"But now that he is missing, my plan has failed. So..." Evil Ghost turned around and said: "I want to use water to coerce the people on the airship. To be precise, I asked you, Celeste, to do two things for me.
thing."
"Do I want to thank you for your appreciation and comparing me to the leader of the Sun Dancer?" Bing Zhixie looked at him and said.
The evil ghost said: "On this boat, you are the most powerful. I only ask the most powerful people to do things."
"What's the matter? Tell me and let me hear it."
The evil ghost asked: "You have been to many places, have you ever been to the easternmost and southernmost subcontinent of the main continent?"
"I have been to the east of the mainland, but not to the subcontinent."
The evil ghost said: "I want you to find someone and something for me. The thing is a treasure called 'The Destruction of Helseyam', which is hidden by a family in the eastern part of the continent. The person's name is Feiban.
Ke Sera, she probably lives in the subcontinent or the south of the main continent."
Bing Zhixie asked: "Why don't you go find this person or thing yourself?"
"Look at me like this." The evil ghost had many disgusting tumors on his back and neck. He leaned against the guardrail and took off the lining of his outer armor, revealing his body under his clothes: "Look at my body again."
Bing Zhixie was slightly startled.
The body of the evil ghost is like a moldy mummy. The skin is dark and gray, and it is covered with bones. It looks like a skeleton. The abdomen is collapsed. It is hard to say whether there are any internal organs inside.
"Are you cursed?"
"It's a curse." Evil Ghost closed his clothes and smiled gloomily: "Is it scary? Seeing this, you know the origin of my Evil Ghost nickname. Only the dry desert can suppress the curse in my body. Once I leave,
Such an environment, moisture, and mold will continue to grow in my body until it devours me."
Bing Zhixie frowned: "Well, this kind of curse and this method are a bit like..." He hurriedly asked: "Who is the person who caused you such a curse?"
"It's a woman."
Bing Zhixie's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be..."
The evil ghost said: "That's the woman I'm looking for, Fairbank Sera."
Bing Zhixie's heart relaxed and she felt a little lost: "Are you looking for this person or thing to solve the curse on you and take revenge?"
"You don't need to know so much, you just need to find the things for me, then find the person I'm looking for, and tell her that I'm still waiting in the desert, waiting for her to come back."
"I can agree to these requests of yours. Is there a time limit?"
The evil ghost thought for a while and stretched out three fingers: "Three years, you must complete these two things for me in three years."
"Okay, then, what kind of collateral do I need before you can tell me how to get water?"
"Haha." The evil ghost said with a smile: "I want that little girl, Alice, to pledge her to me. Within three years, if you complete my explanation, I will let her go."
In the cabin, Iris, who was sleeping on the ground, opened his eyes a little.
Bing Zhixie flatly refused: "No."
"Without her as pledge, I can't trust you."
"I can pledge some precious treasures to you..."
The evil ghost interrupted him: "I don't need any treasures, your treasures have no meaning to me."
"Then there's no room for discussion."
"Do you want to die of thirst here?"
Bing Zhixie turned around and said, "I won't die here, including Alice. Others may die of thirst, but... I don't care." He walked towards the cabin.
"It seems that you have hidden some water." Seeing that he was about to go back to the cabin, the evil ghost stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. What treasure can you give me?"
Bing Zhixie flipped his left hand, and the all-seeing eye slowly appeared in the fluctuating space floating on his palm. He threw it behind him: "This is a treasure taken from the Sand Temple. You can judge its value by yourself."
The evil ghost took a moment to look at it and said: "Such a precious thing is indeed not something that can be easily discarded. I will keep it for you for the time being."
"Tell me how to get water."
"Wait a minute." The evil ghost said: "If you want my water to save all the people in the boat, then they should also pay the price. I want to take a precious thing from each of them. This is fair, right?"
"That's your business, I'm just waiting for my water." Bing Zhixie said and entered the cabin.
The evil ghost curled his lips in a smile.
In the middle of the night, everyone paid their price on the deck. Shakhan handed over the Sunken Knife, Syrio handed over the Stone of Loya, and Alice also handed over a treasure she got at the princess's tomb.
.
Ye Mingzhu's pterosaur and Rhino were unwilling to hand over their precious possessions. They suddenly got into trouble with their other companions and fought for dozens of rounds in the desert. The five of them lost together. The rhino was injured, the pterosaur was severely injured, and the other three were severely injured.
Everyone is injured.
The evil ghost threw the badly injured pterosaur back to the airship, followed him up and said to the Demonic Red Pearl Quelsala: "Take care of your men. I won't kill anyone this time. This is to give you Ye Mingzhu some face, but I still want to
Changing the water will cost double."
The pterodactyl turned over and said angrily: "Quelsala, why don't you take action? If you do, we will definitely defeat him!"
Quel'Thala licked her dry lips: "You can get water by defeating him?"
The pterodactyl refused to accept: "You can force him to hand over the water."
Quel'Thala was too lazy to pay attention to him, and said to the evil ghost: "If they attack you, they will pay double the price, and I will only pay one share."
