The starry sky was extremely blurry, as if a piece of frosted glass had been installed in the sky. He rubbed his eyes, but the situation did not change much. He wanted to get up to check the situation, but he felt that his limbs were empty and there was no strength at all. His body was going up and down.
There was burning pain in dozens of parts, and several vague figures appeared above him, seeming to be saying something, but to Hestein's ears, those voices were equally unclear.
Someone helped him up and stuffed something into his mouth. A cool liquid flowed into his mouth. He swallowed a few mouthfuls, then shook his head with all his strength, indicating that it was enough. The people around him
People began to talk about something again, but he couldn't understand a word. He just felt that these voices were extremely noisy.
Fortunately, someone quickly came out and stopped the drinking, and then hugged him. He leaned on that person and stared blankly ahead. This was a side effect of drinking the medicinal wine, and he needed to rest for two or three days to recover.
For injuries sustained during the transformation into a berserker, it may take two to three months to recover.
The sea breeze blew on him, making his mind gradually clearer. But he could only remember that he had drunk the medicinal wine before, and the only memory after that was bright red blood.
After an unknown amount of time, he was finally able to barely see the things around him - he was sitting on his longboat, with about twenty pirates paddling hard under Bjorn's command. The person hugging him was Lily.
Mistertin, this made him feel a little embarrassed, but he did not have the extra strength to break away from Lily Mistertin's arms.
After he regained some strength, he cleared his throat and asked with difficulty: "What's going on in Antilia?"
No one answered his words. So he asked again. Bjorn looked at him awkwardly, "Boss..." He hesitated. Then Hestein understood everything.
"Go back to Antilia immediately." He ordered. Although his voice was very soft, it was full of majesty.
Bjorn said hurriedly: "No, boss! We don't have enough manpower to begin with. We lost several brothers when we rescued you. Your body is like this now. If you go back, you will just die! And we have no reason to go back...
"
"The reason for going back? This is the second time I have escaped from the Qiqiu Empire. I can't afford to lose this person!"
Heinstein got excited and coughed violently. Lily Mistertin quickly helped pat his back. After a while, the cough subsided, and Heinstein stared at Bjorn with bloodshot eyes.
Well, he said, "Even if you want to run, you have to wait until you cut off the heads of one or two enemy generals before running, otherwise Lodbrok will laugh me to death!"
Bjorn shook his head repeatedly, and just as he was about to continue saying something, Lily Mistertin suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at him.
"Did you hear that? Hestein wants you to go back to Antilia! Who is the boss between you and him?"
Lily Mistertin originally wanted to return to Antilia, but Bjorn didn't allow it. Now that Hestein has woken up, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity. Her military strength is already superior to Bjorn's
, now that Hestein has expressed his stance, other pirates may not be able to help Bjorn.
Seeing this, Bjorn could only sigh and ordered the ship to turn around and return to Antilia.
They secretly landed in Antilia from a corner under the cover of night. They found a place to hide, and only sent a few pirates to investigate the situation on the island. After about an hour, the pirates who came back from the investigation brought an amazing news.
Surprising news: The fleet of the Seven Hills Empire is anchored on the shore at the other end of Antilia, but all the troops have withdrawn from the village and are only stationed in the open air on the shore.
This group of people sneaked into the village cautiously and with suspicion. They saw that several houses had signs of being burned by fire, but the fire was obviously quickly controlled and did not spread; every house
There were bottles and cans in front of the house. The soldiers snatched these things out of the house, but put them back for unknown reasons; there were many corpses covered with clothes on the roadside, but as far as a looted village was concerned,
, the number of these corpses seems a bit incredible.
The more they looked, the more surprised they became. There were various signs that these soldiers were stopped by some force during the robbery. But who on the island has the power to stop more than 10,000 fully armed soldiers?
"Miss, is that you?" A voice suddenly came from the side. Lily Mistertin knew as soon as she heard it that it was the maid Achen who had been serving her father.
"Achen, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be by my father's side and take care of him?"
When Ah Chen heard this, he shrank and replied in a small, inaudible voice: "I...he...Master Sword Master disappeared from the room..."
"Missing? Does that mean he's in good health? Was he the one who drove away the enemy soldiers?"
This was Lily Mistatin's first reaction. When it came to the power to stop more than 10,000 soldiers, she could only think of his father, Hunter Mistertin.
"I'm... not sure. But with the sword... Master Sword Master, the enemy should be... dead..."
Ah Chen spoke hesitantly, but the content of his words effectively refuted Lily Mistertin - if the sword master had taken action, it would be impossible for the soldiers of the Seven Hills Empire to still be stationed on the shore.
"Who is that? Why did the enemy retreat? What happened?"
"It was the girl in purple clothes... At that time, everyone was running towards the bottom of the mountain, but she was the only one who walked in the opposite direction, yelling at the enemy. Then the enemy's general came. I saw them taking her into a room
.After a while, she was put on the boat by the enemy, and then the enemy retreated to the shore..."
"Is it that girl? Isn't she locked up in a cave?" Lily Mistertin took a breath and immediately turned to Hestein and asked, "Who is that girl?"
"She is just a prisoner I captured from near the capital of the Qiqiu Empire."
Hestein said that he did not know the origin of Ella. Just as everyone was guessing what happened, another voice came timidly from the side:
"Wild... king of beasts, is that you? Are you back?"
The owner of the voice stood at the other end of the road, seemingly hesitating whether to get closer. After a while, she finally made up her mind and walked over. When she got closer to a certain distance, Lily Mystertin suddenly pulled out her sword. Wait
The man came closer and others saw clearly that it was Amy.
"You actually ran out!" Lily Mistertin shouted, and stabbed Amy with a sword. But with a "bang" sound, Bjorn helped Amy with the sword.
"If I remember correctly, she poisoned your father, and as the new lord who succeeded your father, you have sentenced her to be sent to the cave as a living sacrifice. You cannot execute the same person twice. This is an ancient law.
stipulated by law.”
Even pirates and barbarians have some stipulated laws. Although these laws are unwritten, they are highly valued. Amy is also a member of Hestein's team. If Lily Mystertain intends to continue to kill her
, the other pirates will side with Bjorn.
Bjorn had a grudge against Lily because she had drawn a sword against her before, so he took this opportunity to confront her.
However, Amy did not seem to see the dispute in front of her. She bent down, slipped under the exchange of weapons between Lily and Bjorn, walked all the way to Hestein, and knelt down with a "plop".
"King of Beasts... It doesn't matter what you want me to do. Please save her... If she is taken back to Constantiniya, she will be tortured to death..."
"Who is she? Tell me the truth!"
Hestein took this opportunity to ask. His loud voice frightened Amy's body to tremble.
"She...is the current Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire..."
"What did you say! Baselisa?"
"Sister of..."
Amy changed her tune at the critical moment.
"...I have heard that the current ruler of the Qiqiu Empire is a queen with extremely beautiful blond hair. I didn't expect that her sister has normal brown hair. Why would she go to such great lengths for her sister?"
"...for the treasure."
"Treasure?"
"Yes, treasure."
Amy looked up.
"There is a secret treasure in the Seven Hills Empire, and thirty-six puzzles that protect the treasure. It is said that as long as you solve these thirty-six puzzles, you can obtain huge wealth that is enough to conquer the world. And there is enough knowledge in the entire world
The only one who can unravel these secrets is Baselisa and her sister."
Hestein grabbed Amy by the collar and pulled her up.
"Are you telling me a fairy tale?"
"I don't. She just has such knowledge. Aren't you curious about how I came out of the cave? Because the puzzle there has been solved by her - go and see, there is enough gold in it to fill your ship
."
Hestein's eyes widened even more. Amy had to turn her face to the side and continued:
"By the way, she still hates the Qi Qiu Empire... Do you want to hear about this opportunity to gain legal claim to the entire Qi Qiu Empire?"
