In the perception of the pirates, Ayla has two major achievements: "taking the lead to attack the city gate and occupying the crucial fortress" and "supporting the exhausted Hestein to evacuate safely under the enemy's cover".
Although everyone can see at a glance that Ella's small body is too weak to fight, this only makes them think that Ella's magic level is superb. If it is exposed that Ella can't even use magic, her previous "
"Meritor" will be questioned, and in the worst case, Ella's identity will become a prisoner again.
While Ella was thinking rapidly in her mind about how to get rid of Dan, Gan said enthusiastically over there:
"Hey! If my sister doesn't know magic, how on earth did she break into the castle? And how did she bring back the boss Hestein? I want to know, I really want to know! How about we have a duel? Now? Come on.
A duel?"
"Duel... Why? Be good, listen to what my sister said: Duel is a way of solving problems that only two people who have a deep hatred for each other choose..."
"What are you talking about, sister? In our country, dueling is an important way to deepen relationships. People will duel and kill each other before they become friends!"
"Yes, is that so?" Ella scolded the barbarism of the Pirate Kingdom in her mind, while racking her brains to change her words, "But...but there's no guarantee that anyone will get hurt in a duel, right? Oh, that's right.
We just suffered a defeat not long ago and lost a lot of people, right? If we still engage in a duel to reduce our combat effectiveness, whether you lose or I lose... you will... be scolded by Hestein?"
"Does that mean we just don't fight each other? It's very simple!"
Gan was too energetic and did a backflip on the spot. Before Ella realized that something was wrong, he had grabbed Ella's arm and rushed out like the wind, leaving Amy who had not yet reacted behind.
Daze alone.
The protection of Hermes includes communication, consciousness, wisdom, speed and theft. The protection Gan received obviously focused on "speed". In the blink of an eye, he had dragged Ella to the edge of the island, and even
I went to other places along the way and made a few meaningless small circles.
The sea surface at night was covered with a thin layer of fog. Boats were moored at the edge of the island, rising and falling with the wind and waves. Ella saw a small firelight where the boats were parked. Maybe she noticed someone.
As he approached, the fire flickered and then went out. Gan's big eyes, which were already overly energetic, suddenly gained a little more interest:
"Ouch? Ouch? Why go out of your way to put out the fire? Let us guess, who would go out of their way to put out the fire?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already put down Ella's arm and rushed towards the direction where the fire went out with lightning speed. A scream followed from that direction. Ella walked over cautiously and saw Gan
He was pressing an adult man to the ground, locking his hands behind his back and tying them with ropes. The two daggers originally inserted into Gan's waists were now inserted into the man's left and right legs respectively.
In muscles.
"You prisoners have been chosen as sacrifices to the gods. It's impossible to escape."
Gan was humming a little tune, and from time to time he would slide the dagger along the man's muscles according to the rhythm of the song, causing the man to let out a shrill scream as the accompaniment of the song. This scene made Ella extremely uncomfortable. She was thinking
He slipped away quietly, but was discovered by Gan astutely:
"Oops? Shield girl, just wait a little longer, I'll be ready soon!"
As he spoke, he had finished tying up the prisoners. He easily picked up the adult man, who was a head taller than him, and threw him into a boat. Then he immediately ran back briskly, pulled Ella and boarded the boat together. Then
, he skillfully retracted the ropes that fixed the ship, and the ship floated into the sea with a gust of wind.
"Where are we going?"
"Where are we not going? Look, I didn't hoist the sail or paddle, right?"
He was willing to let the boat drift away from the sea with the waves. After it floated a distance of about two boats, he suddenly grabbed the man's wrist, cut it with a dagger, and then let all the blood drip away.
Not long after, a creepy sound suddenly came from all directions - it seemed like countless snakes were spitting out letters and approaching the ship.
"There are many sea snakes' nests around this island. And unlike ordinary sea snakes, the sea snakes here are called "Basliks". They will gather together when they smell blood like sharks, and they are more poisonous than sea snakes in other areas."
Much stronger."
Gan said, suddenly cutting the rope that bound the man's hands, and then threw a dagger to him. The man hurriedly picked up the dagger, but he had just been subdued by Gan not long ago, and he didn't know what Gan was planning, so
Although he held the dagger, he still just huddled on the side of the boat's foot, not daring to make any movement.
Gan shook his head: "By the way, I forgot to mention it. Basliks are good at bouncing. They will plop onto the boat like carp. Now there is a Baslik coming behind you. If you don't chop it to death, you
Will he be eaten?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ella saw a long and narrow black shadow leaping out of the water and rushing towards the man's back. Fortunately, Gan reminded him in time, and the man swung his knife behind him at the critical moment, knocking the sea snake off the boat.
The sea snake was as long as two-thirds of the man's arm. As soon as it landed on the boat, it immediately twisted its body and crawled towards the man again. The man threw away the dagger and picked up the pirates' left behind.
There was a big ax on the boat. He mustered up his energy, seized an opportunity, closed his eyes, and swung the big ax violently! He moved it very well, and the sea snake didn't have time to dodge, and was suddenly hit from the middle.
After cutting it off, the body shook a few times and died.
The man opened his eyes and saw that the sea snake was dead. He breathed a long sigh of relief and his muscles relaxed immediately.
Unexpectedly, Gan shouted from the side: "Hurry! Release the ax quickly!"
The man was stunned and his movements slowed down. Gan had already picked up another ax on the boat and rushed forward, cutting off the man's entire right arm with an ax at an incredible speed!
The man let out a shrill scream, and Ella widened her eyes and shouted, "What are you doing!"
Gan did not speak, but just motioned to Ella to look at the right arm that had fallen on the boat. He saw that the right arm was slowly being corroded, and in the blink of an eye, only a white bone remained. Even so, then
White Bones was still steaming out. Not long after this, the ax that White Bones was holding fell onto the boat with a clang.
"You see it! You see it! Basilik's venom can penetrate weapons made of metal and corrode the human body. If the weapon is not withdrawn in time, it will become like this?"
Listening to Gan's explanation, a chill surged through Ella's body. She was deeply aware of the danger of this sea snake named Basilik, and at this moment, there were dozens of similar spitting voices around them heading towards them.
