When Amy woke up the next day, Ella was sitting with her legs crossed, mumbling something. She had obvious dark circles on her face, probably because she hadn't slept all night.
"Metal doesn't work, crystal doesn't work, pottery doesn't work, oil paper doesn't work, and animal fur doesn't work, so what should I use? What else? Metal doesn't work, crystal doesn't work, pottery doesn't work..."
Amy tiptoed past her. After the poison was spilled yesterday, Ella started to recite these sentences over and over again. Unexpectedly, she was still reciting them all night. If she disturbed her, she would be arrested again.
do something.
But not long after, she ran back in a panic: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Hestein, Bjorn and other pirates were gathered together mysteriously, and they were actually doing...
Do math problems!”
"Basilik's venom can't be contained in arithmetic. It's just a few symbols. It can't even contain water. What about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division...division? By the way, division!"
Ella's eyes lit up: "Amy, you are such a genius!"
"Ha...what?"
Ella asked the people on the island for a large water tank, and she and Amy moved it to the coast together, and filled it with water one by one.
When passing by the pirates, Ella noticed that Bjorn and the other pirates were actually drawing a star map, and she suddenly became interested. Unexpectedly, as soon as she leaned her head over, Bjorn frowned and said:
"You can't help me, just step aside."
For people who often sail on the sea, using the position of the stars to judge time and direction is a necessary skill. Therefore, there are also some experienced astrologists among the pirates. In the eyes of the pirates, Ella obviously does not understand navigation.
.
The people on the island are busy preparing for the wedding, while Bjorn and the pirates are busy calculating star maps. As for Hestein, he has been "kidnapped" by Lily Mistertin and taken on a one-day trip to Antilia.
Already.
So no one had time to pay attention to what Ella was preparing to do when she huffed and puffed to move a water tank to the beach.
At night, Ella forced Amy to run to the shore.
"As soon as you reminded me, I thought that we can use division... that is, dilution method to preserve the venom! As long as the venom is diluted in water dozens of times larger than it, its properties will not be that strong!"
Amy watched blankly as Ella used the same method as yesterday to obtain the venom, and then poured the venom into the water tank.
"Look, you can't see the venom at all! But in fact, the total amount of venom has not changed. You just need to separate the venom when needed! What a genius!"
"But Your Majesty... how do you plan to separate? I heard you said that Baslik's venom is very sensitive to heat, right? It will decompose before the water evaporates, right?"
Ella was stunned for a moment.
"Then...is there any way to persuade Hestein to drink all the water in this water tank?"
——Of course there is no such way.
"By the way, even if His Majesty only dilutes it with a glass of water, it won't work, unless His Majesty can find a way to persuade Hestein to drink the deliberately prepared glass of water directly... But the so-called poisoning usually means poisoning him.
Add a little essence of venom to the cup you must drink, and you will be unaware..."
"It's so difficult. The science of poisoning is too complicated!"
Ella held her head and cried.
Another day passed.
When Amy got up, Ella was still holding her legs and mumbling something as before. The dark circles under her eyes were deeper than yesterday. Amy tiptoed away again, but after a while, she panicked again.
ran back.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Hestein and the pirates have all disappeared! They can't be seen anywhere on the island, leaving only a pile of papers with drafts on them! That Lily Mystertin suddenly started to run rampant,
They are demolishing her own house with bare hands... Could it be that Hestein and the others sold us to the lord here as slaves and then left?"
"Isn't their ship still here? Basilik's venom will decompose when exposed to heat and will not disappear. With Hestein's virtue, I think he should have gone to attack the girls on the island at night, and then
He was hacked to death by the lord...die...yes, die! Amy, you are really a genius!"
"Ha...what?"
On this day, Hestein and the pirates never showed up. Except for a house that was dismantled into parts, everything in Antilia remained the same.
At night, Ella forced Amy to run to the shore for the third time.
"Amy, what you said in the morning reminded me! Why do we have to kill Baslik first and then get the venom? Can't we just capture the living Baslik and raise it? I found a birdcage from the island, which is just right
You can lock Baslik inside!"
"Catch him alive? Your Majesty, it's easy to get bitten that way and it's very dangerous!"
"Don't you know magic? Just use Aphrodite's protection to lure the sea snake to climb into the cage on its own!"
Amy's face turned red: "Your Majesty! Aphrodite is the goddess of love!"
"What does that have to do with it? There must be males of the sea snakes too. Just use the 'Come here, there is a little maid here who is shaking and needs water' that you used to seduce our guards."
"Aphrodite's magic has a chance of making the user really fall in love with the person being cast! I will never use this magic on a sea snake! Your Majesty! I am also a girl, and I also have a sense of shame.
Okay!"
"Huh? Who was the person who forced me to write that shameful sentence in the letter?"
"me……"
"And did it save Hestein's life?"
"Woo..."
"Baslik is already crawling towards you!"
"Gu, Aphrodite, please give me the power of love..."
…
…
Ella proudly stuffed the birdcage containing the snake into the water tank filled with water yesterday, and then closed the lid.
The person sitting aside hugging her legs and talking to herself turned into Amy:
"How could this happen? I actually seduced the sea snake... How could this happen? The sea snake actually went into estrus with me..."
Until Ella got up the next day, Amy was still huddled in a corner as before, with a face full of hopelessness.
Ella comforted Amy while opening the lid of the water tank: "Don't be so depressed, think more about good things. You see, we have successfully obtained the poison. Next, we just need to find an opportunity to poison Hestein..."
Ella stopped mid-sentence: there was only one snake bone left in the birdcage.
"I thought that even if it died, its dead body would at least still contain venom. I didn't expect that it would turn into bones overnight... This property is too unstable!"
Ella and Amy sat on the boat holding their legs together.
"The wind is very noisy today."
"Well, yes..."
"The sun is not very warm."
"Well, yes..."
"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this."
"Well, yes..."
…
…
Until a pirate ran up to them in a panic:
"Shield, Shield Girl, it's not good, Boss Hestein and the other brothers... are all locked up in the cave!"
"Amy, he said, cave. It should be colder inside the cave."
"Well, yes..."
"But if it's a sealed cave, it might get warmer."
"Well, yes..."
Seeing Ella's reaction, the pirate became even more anxious and shouted:
"Boss Hestein asked us to draw a star map together. We calculated carefully together for a long time, but the star map we drew was still wrong. The trap set by the priest of Tepui was triggered! It was obviously a cave, but suddenly people came in
When the sea water came, there were many sea snakes - the extremely poisonous Baslik! There were so many that they could fill the abyss under my feet! I was caught by the boss of Hestein and thrown out directly, and then into the cave
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a metal door. The boss is now locked in the cave and fed to sea snakes! If this continues, the boss will die! Shield Girl, you can write and must be very smart. Can you think of a way to rescue the boss!"
"Hestein will die? There are many Basliks? Where? Take me to see them?"
Ella suddenly became excited, grabbed Amy, and ran with the pirate.
