"What is that! What are those!" Dan shouted at Ella with blood-red eyes, "I found a book on alchemy by Zosimos in your memory. I just finished reading it and am about to find other books.
Suddenly, thousands of alchemical documents appeared together, which almost made my brain explode! Why can you store such a large number of alchemical books in your brain? Who are you? What on earth are you?
people!"
Ella was so frightened by Dan's appearance that she didn't dare to speak, let alone mention that "thousands of books" was just the number of "Alchemy". The collection of books in the Wang Family Library actually far exceeded this number.
A voice suddenly sounded from outside: "What a coincidence, Boss Hestein also wants to know who this woman is."
The one who appeared at the door was Bjorn, dressed in red. After Brusius was hit by the gun of Longinus, he miraculously survived. After a month of recovery, he can move freely.
.He looked at Ella meaningfully for a while, and then said to Dan:
"So Boss Hestein asked me to take you over and 'explain' it to him. Your head doesn't hurt anymore, right? Come with me now?"
Dan glanced back at Ella and reluctantly followed Bjorn out.
After he left, Amy immediately shouted: "What's going on? Hestein has known Your Majesty for more than a day or two, why do you suddenly want to inquire about His Majesty's origins? Your Majesty, you just said that you were the third
He was saved by Hestein for the first time, right? What happened at that time!"
"It's nothing... I just almost got bitten by a sea snake and was saved by him. I thought about it for a long time, and finally I thought I had to say 'thank you' in person. But after I said it, he glared at me, and then I
came back……"
"Thank you? Your Majesty, you just said that you shyly said 'thank you' to that 'King of Beasts'? Where did this innocent and ignorant girl come from! This is the camp of pirates who are burning, killing and looting everywhere.
!”
Amy was going crazy on the spot.
"For pirates, this kind of pure white cream-like girl must be super tempting! People can't help but want to get it dirty!"
"What...what white cream, you talk to me like some delicious dessert! I am Barcelisa of the Seven Hills Empire! I have been dealing with the secretive palace since I was born, and I also have a lot of scheming and palaces!"
"What's this subtle arrogance about? Doesn't this make men more excited? I can already think of Hestein smiling and saying to His Majesty, 'You say no, but your body is very honest.'
future!"
"It's impossible for the body to be honest!" Ella shouted with a red face, "And why have you already determined that Hestein wants to take action against me? He didn't call me directly to his tent, he just
Called Dan, do you want to know my origins?"
"Does it mean that His Majesty believes in Hestein?"
"'Knowing people' is a compulsory course for every ruler. My father started teaching me when I was six years old! So I won't be wrong! His rumors must be exaggerated. What about a virgin every night?
How can there be such scum in the world!"
…
…
——How can there be such scum in the world?
"I've made it clear that you are just a prisoner. A prisoner should do what a prisoner should do."
Dan cowered in the crowd in fear. In full view of everyone, Hestein threw a sword in front of Ella.
"Of course, I don't hate warriors either. Now the whole army is watching you and me. I will give you a chance to show your bravery and defeat me, and you will be free. If not, you will fight with me tonight.
Come with your attendant to my tent."
When he said the words "come to my tent tonight", Hestein's expression was like ordering food in a tavern.
"Boss... boss!" Dan protested quietly in the crowd, "No matter how powerful she is, she is still just a woman. Is it too much to ask her to defeat you?"
"How about this? I won't use magic, and I won't take the initiative to attack. For half an hour, no matter what method she uses, as long as her sword touches any part of my body during this period, I will lose. And unless I shoot her down
sword, otherwise it won’t be considered my victory.”
As soon as Hestein said this, there was a burst of cheers among the pirates. With the mentality of watching the fun, they even opened a bet game to place bets for both sides. The one who beat Ella would win more.
Ella looked at Hestein standing in front and thought in her mind: "He doesn't seem very smart. For half an hour, he can't take the initiative to attack, and he has to knock down my sword to win. Under these conditions, as long as I stand still
After half an hour of action, the two sides will be in a draw."
"You don't want to stand there for half an hour waiting for a draw, do you?" Hestein saw through her thoughts, "You'd better think clearly. If you do that, even if I don't move you, your situation will only be
It becomes even worse.”
Ella shivered and realized that what Hestein said was right. On the first day after being captured, Amy was raped by a pirate. The reason why they were able to stay safe until now was all because of Ella's "bravery"
Reputation. If she used that method to get a draw today, she would probably be humiliated by the pirates that night.
Seeing Ella still hesitating, Bjorn said from the side:
"Shield Girl, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I still have some doubts. If you really have any ability, you'd better use it now. Otherwise, after tonight, you will get on the boat with that group of people."
Bjorn pointed in one direction. There were about thirty captives there, all of them beautiful women with haggard faces. Their hands were tied with the same long rope, strung together from front to back.
Long lines are like copper plates strung on a rope.
"We rely on the sea to survive, so every time we come back from the sea, we will sacrifice some of the captives as sacrifices to the sea god. Tomorrow, these people will all be gathered on a boat. We will pull the boat to the depths of the sea, and then let it drift.
Some people will eventually die in the sea and become sacrifices to the Poseidon. Only rarely will the Poseidon be merciful and let those ships float to the mainland."
Speaking of this, Bjorn suddenly smiled evilly: "But of course, these sacrifices have already been enjoyed by Boss Hestein. Boss Hestein will not like the same woman twice and use up all the sacrifices."
If people regard it as a sacrifice to the sea god, it can be regarded as making the best use of it."
Bjorn's words caused a surge of anger in Ella's heart. She stared at Hestein angrily, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed him in the chest with a "swipe".
——"Bang."
Hestein frowned and flicked his index finger, and the sword in Ella's hand fell to the ground.
