At this time, the orange-red projection screen in the air began to distort. It should be that the time of the magic circle is coming. "Hannah Danny. I know I am a bastard. I have never had the chance to express my love for you. But trust me. This It’s an emotion passed down from generation to generation in the Stewart family. How can a tough guy say that feminine word? I think back then, when your grandpa was pursuing your grandma, he never..."
Amidst the chatter of the King of Sand Thieves, the picture flashed and the figure disappeared into the air. The pottery plate in Gu Tie's hand crackled and burst into a string of dazzling electric sparks. He was so frightened that he loosened his fingers and the plate fell on the wooden floor. Immediately It was smashed to pieces. A few restless sparks still popped out from the fragments. Gu Tie squatted down and fiddled with the pile of fragments with the end of his staff. He said thoughtfully: "So that's it. No wonder you'll only say it once." Originally played After finishing this audio and video, more than half of the magic circle will self-destruct. And the small piece that remains must be another magic circle that guides the location of the legacy. I didn't expect it to be a composite magic circle. It's really the work of a master... "
He stood up and said to the Stewart brothers: "It doesn't matter. If you are willing to watch it a few more times, I can copy the magic circle again and light it up. Anyway, the magic circle on the magic pistol did not self-destruct."
Hannah shook her head. "No need. I remember every word he said." After saying that, she didn't say a word to Danny. She turned around and opened the door, walked up the gangway step by step, and disappeared on the deck.
Danny's eye circles were a little red, but he kept mumbling: "Ghost dad, damn dad... You said it easily. But should we open the treasure or not? We have to make a choice when we find the inheritance. ...Although I would quite like to be with this little cutie, there is no way Hannah can spend a second with her. As for being anonymous... at least tell me why, Dad."
Gu Tie stood the staff in the corner of the room. He sat on the bed and relaxed his muscles. He said: "Both choices are quite strange. Why don't you just stop looking for the inheritance of the King of Sand Thieves. Anyway, the 'Blood Dragon Scroll' is the key." He is not around either. It only adds to the troubles. Amitabha."
"But the secrets about Zawi and the Stewart family are also in the inheritance." Danny cried tangledly. "Curiosity will kill me."
"I understand your feelings very well." Gu Tie nodded and sympathized: "Every time I go to the bar to pick up girls, I'm afraid that I will see a woman in bed the next morning who has taken off her makeup and has a scary face like an aunt's. .But no matter how evil the insects are, they can't help but go out again as soon as it gets dark."
Danny shook his head in confusion, indicating that he could not understand the comforting words of the astrologer's apprentice. Gu Tie curled his lips. "It's okay. Go up and stay with your sister. Let's discuss what to do. Since the inheritance is near the queen insect node. Then even if you don’t have the key, the possibility of finding it is very high.”
Danny left the cabin hesitantly. Gu Tie didn't know what to do for a while. He took off his robe and lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes and rested while randomly reading Jonah's memories. After a while, .He fell asleep in a daze.
In a "world" with a time synchronization rate of 1:1 and a sensory synchronization rate of 0.9:1, the game character's sleep is synchronized with the player's sleep. The light sleep state can remain online. Once entering REM sleep, in order to prevent deep sleep The damage to the nervous system caused by the high synchronization rate in hierarchical sleep. The server will automatically log out the character. Gu Tie's sleep condition has not been very good. He did not sleep well this time. He woke up once in a while. In the middle, he vaguely saw Danny opening the room. He opened the door and extinguished the lime lamp for him. When he opened his eyes, the morning sun shone through the porthole. It was already dawn. He rubbed his temples and felt that he had had countless dreams, but he could not remember any of them.
Gu Tie stretched and sat up. A basin of hot water and a towel were already placed beside the bed. Needless to say, it was Danny who prepared them. Following the custom of Western Continental people, he wiped his teeth with a towel dipped in hot water and washed them clean. Face, put on the dirty and tattered robe, grabbed the staff and walked onto the deck.
"Get up, cargo friend." Danny, who was checking the rope, greeted him with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey. Good morning." Gu Tie waved to him. "Where are we?"
The man from the Stewart family spread his hands: "It's in the endless sea of sand. There are still two or three days to sail from the rear worm node. The wind is not very good this morning. In addition, the front mast is broken. Now we can only reach a speed of 14 knots." "
"And it depends on the weather. The windless period will be very long this afternoon." Hannah turned around and said at the wheel.
"Okay. We have nowhere to go anyway, right." Gu Tie walked to the side of the ship and sat down on the mooring pier. He yawned and looked at the endless sand dunes in the distance. "You have made a decision. ."
Hannah looked at her brother. Danny said: "Yes. Find dad's inheritance and figure out the truth of the matter before making a choice."
"Very good. This is the spirit of an adventurer." Gu Tie gave a thumbs up in appreciation. "When will you have breakfast?"
Danny immediately became energetic: "It's cooking on the stove. Assorted oatmeal porridge with beef, pepper, cheese, moa meat and other ingredients. It's rich in nutrients and tastes good."
"Chowder porridge made from yesterday's leftovers, right?" Gu Tie pointed out this point mercilessly.
"...Yes." Danny replied nonchalantly.
At this moment, Hannah called from the bow of the ship: "There seems to be a small sailboat ahead. Danny, go up and take a look."
"Got it." The man from the Stewart family quickly grabbed the rope net and climbed up to the main mast. He jumped into the observation deck and took out his telescope and looked diagonally forward. "That's right. A sloop. A pocket sandworm... It seems to have been attacked. There are several holes in the side of the ship. There are also many wounds on the body of the sand-eating worm. It is moving at an idle speed."
Gu Tie stood up. He covered the sun with his hands and looked far into the distance. He could only vaguely see a small black dot on the edge of the skyline: "Oh. There seems to be a ship. Do you want to stop and help?"
"...Luta is on top." Danny suddenly exclaimed. "That ship is the Oasis. It's a cute little sailboat. I'll lower the sails and slow down right away. Hannah, let's get closer."
Gu Tie was also surprised. Catharina Maximilian, who appeared in the last words of the King of Sand Thieves yesterday, unexpectedly appeared on the route so coincidentally. I wonder how the Stewart brothers and sisters would face this mysterious noble lady.
"..." Hannah was silent for a while. She did not object. She turned the wheel. The "Bactrian Wind" slowly turned and sailed towards the broken sailboat. The "Oasis" sloop was in sight. Continuously zooming in, Danny quickly lowered the sail. When the distance between the two ships was less than 500 yards, the speed of the three-masted ship dropped to 5 knots, which was only slightly faster than the opponent that was idling.
"Qiang." Even after being so far apart, everyone on the three-masted sailboat still clearly heard the clear steel sound of the sword being unsheathed. A sharp sword edge appeared at the stern of the "Oasis". The tall and loyal swordsman had both hands. Holding a sword, he looked warily at the uninvited guest.
"Little cutie, it's us. We're here to help." Danny rushed to the side of the boat, made a trumpet shape with his hands and shouted.
The armored swordsman turned back. He seemed to have heard the order. He inserted the long sword into the scabbard and stood sideways with his hands behind his back. The "Bactrian Wind" gradually caught up with the "Oasis" until the two ships were parallel. Danny lowered the last sail, and the two sandworms began to idle side by side.
"Little cuties, what's wrong with you?" the man from the Stewart family shouted anxiously. Hannah turned around, not looking to the starboard side, but instead focused her eyes on the vast sea of sand.
Katherina, wearing a pink dress, appeared on the deck of the Oasis. Her long chestnut curly hair was fluttering in the wind. "Miss Stewart, little Danny, we meet again. Still under such embarrassing circumstances. I'm so sorry." She said with a smile, staring at Gu Tie's face. "Yona, are you okay? Are you still getting used to the sailing life?"
Although loli-type girls are not Gu Tie's interest, the cute little girl with impeccable appearance and manners still made him admire her. He expressed his sincere love: "I am very good. I can eat and sleep well." Have you missed me these past two days, Katharina?"
Unexpectedly, this commonplace flirting phrase actually aroused strong reactions from everyone present. Danny took a breath and took half a step back. Hannah suddenly turned back and stared at him. Her eyes were like looking at a dead person. The tall swordsman pulled out his sword again and pointed the rock-hard sword tip into his eyes. Only Katharina herself blushed with embarrassment and smiled sweetly: "It's a little strange. How can you knew."
Slender fingers coated with khaodan pressed on the strong arm holding the sword. The swordsman said nothing. He took back the sword again. "You can call me Cathy. My parents used to call me that... I don't know why. Jing When I first met Speed Star, I felt like I had seen you somewhere before. I didn’t think about it for two days. But the feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger. It was like an old friend. I felt that you were very close to me." Katharina He pursed his lips and smiled. "We should have a good chat when we have time. See where each other's lives have intersected. Maybe that is a time and place that we have long forgotten."
"I'm looking forward to having that opportunity to have a long talk with you... Cathy." Gu Tie nodded reservedly, with deep doubts about the identity of this beauty in his heart. He quickly looked through Jonah's memory and found that in the competition In the tavern of Speed Star, the bartender was once threatened by a swordsman for calling her "Her Royal Highness". Could it be that this loli girl is a princess of a certain country? Then why did she end up in the endless sand sea and become a small sailboat? The captain is so miserable.
"Ahem." Danny interrupted the conversation between the two. "Cathy, what happened? With the speed of the Oasis, who can catch up with you and cause so much damage?"
Katharina smiled: "You can't call me Cathy. Danny boy... We met the ghost Bahama."
"The ghost Bahamas is nearby." The Stewart brothers and sisters exclaimed in unison. Gu Tie said in confusion: "What. What Panama."
