Just like the horror legends that every world, every country, and every nation has. The Ghost Bahamas is the eternal shadow of the endless sand sea. The black demon traveling in the golden desert. Danny spoke with a tone of horror and awe. Gu Tie explained the origin of the ghost Bahamas. Gu Tie was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react.
"So... what exactly is it?" Gu Tie couldn't help but ask.
Danny Stewart shook his head and said: "No one has seen its true form clearly. The average speed of the Ghost Bahamas is more than 50 knots. It moves erratically, disappearing and appearing. You can only barely see its black outline. In the endless sand sea According to the legend of the indigenous people, Bahama is a mutated sand-loving worm sent by the main god Luta to constantly eliminate the weak in the sand sea."
"This idea is quite reasonable." Gu Tie commented. "The role of wolves on the deer herd is undeniable."
"After the thirty-three Zawi people brought shipbuilding technology to the desert, everyone felt that the ghost Bahamas was more like a ship. A dilapidated black ghost ship. It was a real ghost. Countless people had witnessed it. Ghost. The Bahamas emerges from the vast sand sea. Sometimes it quickly overtakes the ship and then disappears. Sometimes it launches an attack on its own initiative, causing fatal damage to the sandworm and the sailboat... The cute 'Oasis' can survive its attack. Very lucky." Danny patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
At this time, the sailors of the "Oasis" shook the handle to lower the gangplank. The gangplank with iron hooks clanged on the side of the "Bactrian Wind". "If you don't mind, I would like to treat everyone to a cup of tea. Fortunately, Ghost The Bahamas didn't break my teapot." Katharina Maximilian smiled and made the invitation. Gu Tie did his job and stepped onto the pedal. In a few steps, he jumped onto the deck of the sloop.
The man from the Stewart family took one foot forward and looked back at his sister hesitantly. As if he saw some warning on the back of Hannah's proud head. He sighed. "Friends, we won't go through yet. Please ask." Ask the little cutie if you need help."
"Hey." Gu Tie waved his hand and followed Katherina down the gangway.
The "Oasis" is a slender narrow-body sailboat. But the sophistication of its cabin design surprised Gu Tie. It passed through the sailor's room, drawing room, activity room, dining room, kitchen and battle preparation room in sequence. It was paved with gorgeous embroidery. There is actually a spiral downward staircase at the end of the carpeted corridor. "The keel design of the 'Oasis' is different from that of most sailboats, so the space is better utilized. "The tea room is on the lower floor. Let's go down." Katharina turned around and explained. With a sound, lift up your skirt and walk down the stairs first.
Gu Tie was amazed as he walked. Looking at the appearance alone, one could not imagine how gorgeous the interior of this sailboat was. Judging from the darkly lustrous copper decorative parts, the dark and shiny cherry wood wainscoting and the deep red family crest at the top of the porch, one could imagine It can be seen that the owner of the sailboat is definitely not a newly wealthy businessman with a lot of gold coins. Instead, he is a nobleman with a profound background, even a royal family. Several walls are damaged. It seems that they were attacked by the ghost Bahamas not long ago.
The corridor on the ground floor has no portholes, but it is by no means dark. There is a bright wall lamp every few steps. Gu Tie stopped and observed it for a few seconds. He did not see the luminous principle of this wall lamp that emitted a light yellow halo. Katharina pushed open a heavy oak door at the end of the corridor: "Please come in. What kind of tea do you like to drink? As a Western Continental, let's drink black tea, okay?"
"Anything is fine." Gu Tie walked into the tea room. He looked around and then looked down at his torn robe and dirty boots. He felt a little ashamed. But since the master was not particular, he had no reason to be particular. He sat down on the red On the velvet sofa, Gu Tie took advantage of the situation and raised one foot. On second thought, he felt that this did not seem to fit his image of a weak-headed young man. He honestly put his left leg back to its original position.
This tea room is not too big. There are two sofa chairs, an oak low table, two decorative shelves, and a row of walnut chests. The whole room is covered with light yellow plush carpet. All the furniture is in the Western Continental style. To be precise, it is Zhawi style. There is a statue of the main god on the decorative shelf. The strong god holding a hammer in his left hand and lightning in his right hand is Lazi, the god of war and blacksmiths believed by the Zhawi people. Above the statue There was also a dark red family crest hanging. It was a bit far away. Gu Tie couldn't see clearly the lines and words on it.
Catharina, who was rummaging in front of the chest of drawers, suddenly exclaimed happily: "Oh, I forgot about it. There is also some moongrass tea here. How about we drink it? I almost forgot the taste of moongrass tea." "
Moon grass tea. Gu Tie used this keyword to search in his memory. He found that the astrologer's apprentice drank the legendary Mrs. Duran's moon grass tea in the Black Cat Cafe in Sucasa Canyon. "Such an interesting experience. .But you won't let me catch up. Huh..." He complained about the strange personality named Jonah.
The little cutie held up a carved tin can with red sealing. "Here, I didn't expect to find it again. Can you open it for me? Jonah, I'll boil the water and prepare the tea set."
Gu Tie took the tin can and touched Catharina's smooth skin with his fingers. He couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. At this time, the Chinese people were thinking of the classic martial arts work "The Deer and the Cauldron" of the last century. Being in the same room with a certain princess could happen. What kind of thing? He chuckled. He thought it would be better not to cause any trouble to the body of this pale boy. While peeling off the mud seal, he said: "By the way. Do you know the Black Cat Cafe?"
"Of course I know. What child doesn't want to see Mrs. Duran." Katharina turned back from the small stove and replied with bright eyes.
Poof. The tin can was unscrewed by Gu Tie. A refreshing fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, refreshing people. The inner wall of the tin can was very thick. There was a little light blue in the small space inside. Tea powder.
Putting down the tea can, Gu Tie proudly recounted his experience as an astrologer's apprentice. Sure enough, he made the little cutie hold his hands in his hands with a complex expression of envy, jealousy and hatred. At this moment, the sound of steam was heard and the water boiled. Katharina picked up the tea can. She scooped out the moongrass tea powder with a delicate silver tea spoon and poured it into the white bone china tea cup. She picked up the small brass kettle and poured the hot water along the small tea spoon into the bottom of the tea cup. A small whirlpool formed in the teacup, and the tea powder sparkled in it, like shining stars in the night sky.
"You can drink it in one minute." Katharina put down the copper pot and brought milk, sugar, cinnamon, chocolate powder and salt on a tray. These are common accessories for people in the Western Continent to drink tea. I don't know what happened in the deserted place. Where did she get these rare things in the desert?
The minute it took to wait for the tea powder to brew seemed a bit long. Gu Tie felt that as a man, he should take the initiative to break the awkward silence. "Cathy, how long have you been in the Endless Sand Sea?"
The little cutie laughed and covered her mouth with her hands: "Of course it's fifteen years. Except for the second generation of Zawi people, we all came here fifteen years ago."
"Oh." Gu Tie scratched his head. "So how old are you?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he curled his lips in annoyance. Why did he blurt out such a stupid question about the lady's age? Wouldn't this be digging his own grave?
"Sixteen years old." Unexpectedly, Katharina answered without any grudge. It seemed that the question did not offend her at all. "I have been sailing in this desert non-stop since I can remember. I don't remember the Western Continent. I don’t remember anything about it. I can only hear Zhawi’s demeanor from Luo Hualun’s mouth. But he is a boring gourd who doesn’t like to talk..."
Gu Tie thought for a while and gestured like he was holding the sword with his chest raised and his head straight.
The little cutie nodded and chuckled.
"There is nothing good about the Western Continent. There are wars everywhere. And you must know that it is your Zhawi Empire that is fighting others. It has made the entire continent restless. It is very powerful." Gu Tie winked a little narrowly. Who would have thought that this time Katharina suppressed her smile and sighed: "If I can, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the Zavi invaders. Starting a war is the worst idea. This will never change no matter what era."
"Why do they need you to apologize for the mistakes they made? Can you represent them?" Gu Tie had long known that the girl sitting opposite had a prominent background. At this moment, he couldn't help but make insinuations, trying to find out the true identity of the little cutie.
Katherina was stunned for a moment. She shook her head slowly. Her long maroon curls rippled: "No. I can't. At this moment, I'm just the captain of the Oasis. Everything in the Zawi Empire has nothing to do with me... I'm just a Zawi man. Apologies to the people of St. Bollen. That’s all.”
This girl is actually quite seductive. Gu Tie sneered and smiled: "Stop talking about that. Let's have tea."
"Okay. Please use it."
The two of them each picked up their teacups. Katherina added sugar and milk. Gu Tie felt that the tea tasted a bit like Chinese green tea, so no ingredients were added to prevent it from affecting the flavor. She took a sip and the coolness penetrated her body. My mind has indeed become clearer, but it is still a little different from Mrs. Duran's moongrass tea in my memory. I don't know whether it is because of different raw materials or because it has been stored for too long.
"Does it taste good? Jonah." The little cutie stared at him longingly with her big eyes.
"Awesome." Gu Tie raised his thumb.
"That's great if you like it." Katharina seemed to be relieved. She smiled secretly and sipped the blue tea.
Gu Tie stood up holding the tea cup and walked around the tea room: "The decoration here is very elegant. Did you decorate it yourself?"
Katharina replied: "The entire inner cabin of the ship was designed by Lao Bei. Except for this tea room, I redecorated this room two years ago. Is it okay?"
"Hmm. Very good." Gu Tie flattered him while sneaking up to the family crest. He looked up and said, "Is this your family crest? Cathy, this crest...wait a minute..."
His body stiffened. Katharina keenly felt the changes in the astrologer's apprentice. She stood up and stared at him in confusion: "This is my family crest. What's wrong? Jonah."
Gu Tie slowly turned his head and stared at her with cold eyes: "Tell me about the origin of the coat of arms, if you are willing."
