The fish, shrimps, and shells of different shapes that had not yet woken up were all suddenly thrown on the bare beach. The sea did not show the slightest pity for this, because the number of her children was too large.
There are so many.
Ella stepped down and crushed a crab that had no time to escape on the beach. This Barcelona Lisa had no intention of caring about the life and death of fish and shrimps because she was planning to kill a beast that harmed the coasts of various countries.
She poured the newly obtained Basilik's venom into the gold cup, then raised the gold cup high and placed it under the moon for a closer look - it was luxurious, holy, shining, and it was undoubtedly real gold.
“There are seven naturally occurring metals in nature: mercury, lead, tin, iron, copper, silver, and gold. Among them, only silver and gold are considered precious metals—they are beautiful and rare, resistant to corrosion, and stable in nature. Alchemy
The basic theory is: all metals are composites, which are composed of mercury and sulfur in different proportions. When the two are mixed in the most perfect proportion, gold is produced."
"What does this have to do with His Majesty's choice to use the golden cup?"
"Alchemists worked to convert base metals into gold. In alchemical theory, alchemy was likened to healing - just as some doctors believed that diseases were caused by an imbalance of human body fluids, alchemists believed that sulfur and
An imbalance of mercury creates base metals.”
"The so-called alchemy is to 'cure' metals by adjusting the ratio of sulfur and mercury in metals. In other words, alchemy believes that gold is the most perfect metal, and all other metals made through alchemy are alchemical
The product of the master's failure to 'cure' base metal."
"So I chose to try it directly with gold - if even gold can't carry Basilik's venom, then we can just give up looking for answers in metals."
Under the moonlight, you can see that Basilik's venom has finally lost its edge and is firmly contained in the golden cup - the venom is in hand.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to poison me directly like this?"
"He just came out of the cave, so it makes sense that he was poisoned by Basilik's venom. Besides, who would have thought that I could successfully preserve such a powerful venom?"
Having said that, Ella's hand holding the cup began to tremble slightly.
"Amy, to tell you the truth, there was a time when I really thought Hestein was a good person and I thanked him."
"Your Majesty, he is just a pirate. He plundered the Seven Hills Empire, looted Brusis, captured women and children, played with them, and then sacrificed them to the gods like pigs and dogs. He even tried to get involved with you, Your Majesty."
"Yes, you are right." Ella sighed and held the gold cup tightly.
A woman in white walked towards Ella and the others. She seemed a little timid and said in a mosquito-like voice:
"Um...Miss Mistertin asked me to ask, has your medicine been prepared?"
Ella poured the decoction she had prepared during the day into the gold cup and shook it to allow the snake venom and the decoction to be fully mixed. Then, she puffed out her chest and said:
"It was just finished. Take me to Hestein's room."
It was a lonely night. I saw no other people along the way, and only the sound of the waves could be heard intermittently. For some reason, the woman in white who led the way seemed to be very afraid of Ella and Amy, and walked quickly ahead while shrinking back, looking back from time to time.
He glanced at Ella, but as soon as he met Ella's gaze, he turned his head back like an electric shock. Ella felt a little curious and said:
"From the accent you just sounded, it sounds like you're from the Alemannic Federation? What's your name?"
The woman in white didn't expect Ella to talk to her. She shook her body for a moment, and then continued to answer in a mosquito-like voice: "Yes... yes. Originally a resident of the lowland area. Others taught me Ah Chen."
"Why are people from the Alemannic Federation on this island?"
Ah Chen was obviously startled for a moment, and then answered hesitantly:
"I was...captured by the pirates, and was rescued by Lord Mistertin. The village was burned down by the pirates...so I stayed here."
When she said the word "pirate", she carefully looked at Ella's expression. If Ella showed anger for a moment, she would probably shut up immediately.
Then Ella understood that the woman in white regarded them as part of the Hestein pirate team.
"What a coincidence, I was also captured here by this group of pirates. Will Lord Mistertin take me in?"
Ella half-jokingly revealed her identity.
"So...it turns out that you were also captured?" Ah Chen's expression suddenly became cheerful, "It doesn't matter, most of the islanders here were rescued by Master Mistertin, and the rest
My parents were also rescued by Master Mistertin, and they are both homeless... But Hestein and our eldest lady seem to be getting married... so... maybe..."
Ella paid more attention to the first half of Achen's sentence: "Most of the islanders on this entire island were rescued from pirates by Mistertin?"
"No, it's not." Ah Chen shook her head. Then, she realized that this sentence might have been misunderstood, and added: "They were all rescued by Lord Mistertin, but not all of them were from pirates. In fact, most of them were rescued by Lord Mistertin."
Some of them were rescued from the army."
A trace of doubt appeared on Ella's face: "Army?"
"The various princes within the Alemannic Federation often fight with each other, and then they often fight with Efilika and the island republic. Every time the armies of other countries pass by the village, the village will be looted, especially in the border areas, even
The country's army sometimes comes to the village to steal things, which is actually more troublesome than pirates, but what can be done..."
"What about the Seven Hills Empire? How is the army of the Seven Hills Empire?" Ella's voice suddenly became louder, startling Achen: "Ah, the Seven Hills Empire?"
"More than ten years ago, the Qiqiu Empire should have fought a war with the Alemanni Federation. How is their army? Did they come to the village to rob something?"
"Well... I'm from the lowland area, far away from the Seven Hills Empire."
"That's right, I forgot about this." Ella was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Ah Chen continue:
"But there seems to be someone on the island who was kidnapped by soldiers because of that war. He was sold to slave traders, changed hands several times, and was rescued by Master Mistertin... In fact, no matter which country's army it is, the method is
Most of them are the same.”
"There's no way the Qiqiu Empire would do this!" Ella suddenly roared, startling Achen. Seeing Ella's face looking a little ugly, she quickly changed the topic:
"But it doesn't matter. No matter which country we are in, Lord Mistertin will protect us. He is called the Sword Master and is very strong. Even if a hundred ships come to Antilia to plunder him, he can still do it on his own.
He can easily be defeated by one person, so the pirates don’t dare to come to Antilia.”
"Is he such a powerful lord?"
"That's right, the peace on Antilia Island is all brought about by Lord Mistertin. He is the guardian of all of us."
Ella couldn't help but glance at the stars.
When will she become like this Mistertin?
Then, he looked at the golden cup in his hand and smiled miserably.
