Ahes felt someone was rubbing his face with something furry, and reluctantly opened his eyes. Ahes saw Lucia sitting on the edge of his bed, brushing his cheek with a black feather.
"You, how did you get in!" Ahes was startled, covering his face and sitting up.
"Hmm, it seems you didn't lock the door at all."
"Didn't I lock it? How could I remember..."
"Okay, don't talk about that. If you don't want to make your trip more troublesome, you'd better get off the boat with me now." Lucia pushed Ahes and walked off the bed.
"Now?" Ahes looked out the window, the ship was still sailing on the sea, "Are you kidding, get off the ship now?"
"That's right." Lucia walked to the window and opened it, "You jump first or I jump first."
"Wait, what are you talking about..." Before she could finish her words, Lucia jumped out of the window first. Ahes hesitated, picked up his luggage and jumped too.
Go down.
After entering the water, the power of the Siren's Book came into play immediately. Ahes looked around but did not see Lucia.
"What on earth is this guy thinking?" He glanced ahead, not far away was the Vaskili Pier, and Ahes swam directly towards that side.
Arriving at the dock, Ahes grabbed the edge of the ground and climbed up with difficulty.
"Fortunately you can swim, otherwise I would have to go down and rescue you." Wringing the water from his clothes, a figure appeared behind him. Ahes turned his head and found that it was Lucia. There was no water on her body.
Traces of wetness.
"How did you do it...Forget it, why did you do this?" Ahs asked as he looked at the cruise ship approaching.
"Many people died on the ship last night. When we are about to disembark, the crew will come to the cabin to check. If they find out then, we will all have to return to Helworth for inspection. Do you want to see this scene?" Lu.
Thea said with her hands on her hips.
"A lot of people died last night?"
"Hmm, there is a killer, and they are here to find the murderer named Ahes Gardner." Lucia said, "But they couldn't confirm everyone's identity, so they wanted to kill everyone on the ship.
Killed."
Hearing these words, Ahes's heart trembled suddenly.
"Karsus? That's your name, right?"
"Ah, yes."
"You were not attacked last night, right?"
"Of course, I slept very well last night." Ahes said slowly.
"Same for me. In that case, let's not think about it. We're already in Vaski, right?"
"Yeah." Ahs agreed, but he was still thinking about what happened last night.
How did they know they were on this ship? Could it be Douglas? The only person who knew they were on this ship was Douglas. Could it be that he reported him? In that case, he should have no reason to give himself so many votes.
That's right.
Recalling what Douglas said to himself before, Ahes guessed that Douglas might have encountered something unexpected.
But who came to assassinate him, the people from the royal capital? Or the people from the balance? For me who didn't have the Book of Eternal Life and the Book of Ashes, both of them were very deadly.
But last night they failed to kill themselves and killed a lot of innocent people. This proves that the information they got was simply that they were on that ship. They didn't know their specific appearance now. In this case, as long as they arrive
Vaski and the others should not be able to find themselves.
Thinking of this, Ahes also relaxed a little.
"Do you like to drink."
"Wine? I don't like it very much."
"What about black tea or coffee?"
"That's it, it's okay. What's wrong?"
"Vaschili opened a tavern not long ago. It's called a tavern, but it actually sells all kinds of drinks there. Do you want to check it out?"
"No, I am more anxious to go to the Twilight Kingdom now, you should..."
"Don't be so anxious. Apart from the destination, the most important thing about traveling is the scenery along the way, isn't it? Besides, I don't want to take you there for no reason." Lucia turned her head and looked at Ahs and said,
"The manager of that tavern has been to the Land of Twilight. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask him."
"Is that so? It's still necessary to go there."
"Hmm, but don't just ask without buying anything when you get there, otherwise the store manager will be angry." Lucia said, quickening her pace and walking in front.
After walking around the streets of Vaschili for a long time, Lucia didn't show any intention to stop.
While on the road, Ahes paid attention to some buildings on the roadside and the language of pedestrians.
The architecture here is not much different from the buildings in Helworth, and the Vaskili language can be understood in Ahs's ears, just like it was in Belcost.
Different from my own world, all the countries in this world have small territories. Ypres, which is 250,000 square kilometers, is relatively large in the world. Helworth, which is isolated outside the continent, has only
It covers an area of 170,000 square kilometers, and Vaskili, where Ahes is currently located, only has an area of 130,000 square kilometers.
These three countries combined are less than a fraction of the land area of China in Ahs's original world.
There is no way, after all, most of the world is sea, and the land area is pitifully small.
While thinking about it, Lucia suddenly stopped and Ahes almost bumped into her.
"You have to watch the road when you walk, Mr. Karsus."
"Sorry." He agreed and looked around. There was only an old-looking cabin on the side of the road.
"Where is the tavern you were talking about?"
"It's right here, can't you see it?"
"Are you talking about the wooden house?"
"Why, is there any other place here that looks like a tavern?"
"In other words, that wooden house doesn't look like a tavern, and you said it was newly opened not long ago."
"Although the store is not newly opened, it has only recently started to become a pub."
"..." Although he felt speechless, Ahes still walked in bravely. After all, he just wanted to ask about the Twilight Kingdom and didn't really want to drink anything.
There was a smell similar to wormwood in the store. As soon as Ahes walked in, he felt a gaze staring at him. When he lowered his head, he saw a burly man sitting in the corner holding a bottle of wine.
Bottle stared at himself.
Ahes was startled, took a few steps back, and made preparations to use the Book of Black Mist.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Lucia opened the wooden door and walked in.
"Ahaha, isn't this Miss Lucia? She is truly a rare visitor. The last time she came was so many years ago." The strong man suddenly laughed and stood up.
"Was it that long? I can't remember clearly." Lucia shook her head and said, "Did you get drunk in broad daylight again?"
"Hiccup, after all, almost no one comes during the day." The strong man patted his belly, burped, and looked at Ahs, "So you two are traveling together?"
"Hmm, otherwise do you think normal people would come to your place in broad daylight?"
"Hahaha, that's right." He scratched his beard, walked up to Ahes, and slapped Ahes on the shoulder. Ahes was almost knocked to the ground by the slap.
"Well, not bad. He looks quite strong despite his thin body. So, what would you like to drink?" the strong man said, walking around the table and behind the counter.
"Do you know this guy?" Ahs asked Lucia in a low voice.
"Hmm, he is my old friend."
"Old friend? He looks like your dad's age."
"Hey kid, just say what you are saying out loud, what do you want?" The strong man patted the table and said. Ahes was startled and hurried to the counter.
"Give me that." Ahs pointed at a bottle of what looked like orange juice.
"That's a drink. How can a man like you drink a drink? Here you go." The strong man said and handed over a bottle of wine.
Ahes swallowed and took the bottle of wine after much hesitation.
"My name is Bert Field. Lucia must not have brought you here to drink something." He asked while handing Lucia a glass of milk.
"Well, I want to ask you about the Twilight Kingdom." Ahes said while pouring wine into the cup, "Lucia said you have been to that place."
"Twilight Kingdom? Haha, you want to go to the Twilight Kingdom, right?" Unexpectedly, Burt actually laughed, "Tell you the truth, kid, where did guys like you go? Don't say anything else.
The extremely cold environment alone will make you unable to shed tears, and the residents there are a bunch of lunatics. You'd better save your time and go home and eat the baked cookies your mother made for you."
Ahes was very dissatisfied when he heard these words.
"Whether I can stay there or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Ahs said with an emphasis on Bert, looking at him.
"Oh? It seems that you have to go there." Bert took a sip of wine and moved in front of Ahes, staring into Ahes's eyes. "Tell me, why do you want to go there? Why, Hull?"
It’s so hot in Voss that you want to cool off?”
"That has nothing to do with you, right? I just want you to answer me about the Twilight Kingdom. Whether you tell me or not is your business. You are talking so much useless nonsense. Have you eaten too many sweet potatoes?"
"Haha, very good, kid, I like your tone." Burt showed his white teeth and grinned, "Hey, kid, I can tell you some things about the Twilight Kingdom."
"Then you..."
"The premise is that you have a fight with me and let me see if you have the strength to make me say it."
