Gan curled up his neck, stuck out his tongue, and walked back obediently.
Ella followed Gan for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Um...thank you."
Her original intention was to simply say thank you. Unexpectedly, Hestein heard Ella's voice, turned around and looked at Ella up and down, and his brows gradually furrowed. Ella was frightened by Hestein's expression.
He jumped, quickly imitated Gan's example, shrank his head, and walked back to the camp obediently, not daring to say another word.
"Amy, tell me, what kind of person is Hestein?"
Ella banged her head like a girl, looking longingly at the empty roof. Seeing Ella like this, Amy made a "pop" sound and squirted out the water she had just drank:
"Ahem, ahem, sorry, Your Majesty, the last time you asked me like this, he was still a very young and handsome knight. In comparison, Hestein is too old..."
"I'm not talking about that! He is old enough to be my father!" Ella blushed and stamped her foot, "I want to ask, after spending so many days in Hestein's army, do you think he is the same as me?"
How is it different from the rumors?"
"I think he is as perverted as the rumors! I saw with my own eyes that a female prisoner was sent to his tent every day, every day! And there was no repetition! If His Majesty was still a prisoner, he would have been by now... and then...
With his swollen lust, I will definitely be targeted! 'If you are worried about Your Majesty, just take action on her behalf!'...Ah...for Your Majesty, there is no way I can refuse, right? It's really annoying,
He is so strong and so rough, Your Majesty...will I die?"
"But such a person has saved me three times, and I am still unscathed. I am thinking that maybe he is not as bad as the rumors..."
"Stop thinking about it. The boss is just like the rumors. As a woman, you have been in contact with him too many times, which is not good for you or me." Dan walked in with a circle of dark circles under his eyes.
During this month, Dan read the alchemy books in Ella's memory every day, trying to find the secret of the Philosopher's Stone. The more memories he read, the more obsessed he became with Ella's knowledge. But this month he learned
The result, in the eyes of outsiders, is just to give Dan a few more hair colors.
"I heard that you were taken out by Gan. Stay away from him in the future! He is protected by Hermes, but he doesn't like thinking and learning at all. He can't understand your value - except for me, here
No one can understand your worth!"
"I was pulled into the boat by him, and then for some reason, he just chopped up the sea snake by himself... It was a very scary sea snake. I had never seen or heard of it before."
"Are you talking about Baslik? This kind of sea snake only lives in the North Sea. The only people who travel in such remote sea areas are pirates and northern tribes. Of course, the Seven Hills Empire in the center of the continent will not know about it. A.D.
Nicander of Crophon, a poet of the Seven Hills in the 2nd century BC, did record this kind of sea snake in his travelogue "Denoga". Unfortunately, on the Mediterranean coast, the contents of this book are generally considered to be his literary fictions.
."
Gan put his hand on Ella's forehead, which meant that today's study had begun. If anyone made a sound while he was reading Ella's memory, he would become extremely angry. So Amy wisely hid.
Arrived to the side.
"Denoga" by Nicander of Clophon? This book seems to be in the Royal Library." Ella thought intentionally or unintentionally. She was being read from Gan's memory, although she would not read it at first.
There was some discomfort, but after a month, she got used to it, and felt that there was nothing to do. So, she began to close her eyes and search for memories about this book.
The Wang Family Library. Growing up, she spent two-thirds of her time there. For a period of time, she even lived directly in the library. I don’t know how old she started to have the image of the Wang Family Library in her mind.
It became extremely concrete. Now, as long as she has a slight thought, the entire library will appear in her imagination, and even every sculpture in every corner can be detailed.
She was now in the Wang family library that she had imagined, with rows of bookshelves and books, all within reach. She focused her memory on the annotations on the side of the bookcase, and then looked through them row by row.
It was as if she was really walking in the library. Not long after, she found the bookcase with the word "Travel Notes" written on it. She once again focused her memory on the small words on the shelves in front of the bookcase, where the author
Their names: Luca, Pliny, Isidore... Finally, she found the name Nicoander of Crophon in a corner of the bookcase. There is only one travelogue of Nicoander of Crophon, which is
The "Denoga" she is looking for.
In her memory, she took "Dinoga" out of the bookcase. Its cover was wrapped in kraft paper, and the pages were as dark yellow as dead leaves. Then, she used her memory to open the book and turned to the table of contents at the front of the book.
In that flurry of lists, she found what she was looking for: Sea Serpent-Basilik, page 396.
She recalled the content on page 396 of "Denoga": Baslik, a highly venomous sea snake living in the North Sea. Because of the cockscomb on its head, it was also called "cockatrice" by the locals. According to records, the creation of
At that time, snakes originally had wings, but they were plucked out by the gods due to their sins. They could only crawl on their bellies and were no longer allowed to live in the sky. Cockatrices were born from the intercourse of chickens on the ground, because chickens and snakes were originally hostile beasts.
, reproduction is against the laws of nature, and has not been tolerated by the earth since then. Basiliq cannot be tolerated by the sky or the earth, so he can only live in the sea. If exposed to sunlight, he will turn into blood in a very short time. His resentment
Its venom can penetrate trees and metals, but its venom decomposes when exposed to light and heat. Therefore, although the snake is highly venomous, it is not harmful. In addition, the Tepui people will use Basiliq's meat and venom as alchemy
Technical materials.”
"Philosopher's Stone?" The sudden discovery aroused Ella's interest. She left the bookcase marked "Travel Notes" and let her consciousness wander around the twists and turns of the Wang family library, and finally came to a door with eighteen doors.
In front of the locked iron door—that was the Wang family's forbidden arts library, where all the books on alchemy were kept. She let her consciousness enter the forbidden arts library, and went straight to the large room where alchemical documents were stored—
Dan suddenly let out a shrill cry! He removed his hand from Ella's head as if he was electrocuted, then he held his head in pain and fell to the ground rolling!
