At No. 36 Wood Street, Pulitzer Harbour, Gloor took Elisa and Yvonne out, and Diego was waiting outside. Gloor sighed helplessly, "Usually, you, Sister Hermione, would pick you up and drop you off, but you
Where have you been? So many days have passed, and if this continues, Elisa and Yvonne will know that you are lost.'
Behind the consulting firm in Pulitzer Harbour, Voss and Weiken sat in chairs, looking at each other.
"Is there any news from Dixi County? Go to the beach and see more."
"According to the telegram sent back, there was no discovery. Maybe Hermione went to Fenerport next door or went home. Divination shows that she is fine, captain, don't worry!" Weekend reported.
"I hope so! You don't have to worry too much. There are many ways to notify, such as the simplest prayer." Voss thought Hermione should remember the honorary name, and it would be nice if she could pronounce it in Hermetic or something like that.
, if you know the direction, go and pick him up directly.
Waken glanced at the newspaper and then at the thoughtful Voss in front of him, 'Obviously it's you who is worried, okay? Does someone as powerful as Hermione need to worry?'
The sky over the island village of Maggiore is covered with dark clouds, and strong winds are blowing violently from the sea. Since it is on the edge of the violent sea, it has little impact on people's lives. As long as you don't go sailing at this time, don't provoke the storm in the sea.
.
The villagers are fixing and reinforcing the boat on the beach to prevent it from drifting into the sea. For them, the fishing boat is everything. Lev and Matvey are also fixing their old fishing boat on the beach, using force to fix the wooden stakes.
Knock it down.
"Paplo, believe me this time, I really didn't lie to you." One of the men who fought last time said to the other.
"I didn't expect that boy Lev to be so lucky. I'm 33 years old. How come I haven't encountered one at sea? I have been catching fish all my life. I hope the Lord will allow me to catch a legendary mermaid next time. The young women in distress will be even more so.
alright."
"Mermaids are man-eating monsters, dark monsters with sharp teeth and sharp mouths. Those stories about the prince and the mermaid princess are just a lie to you. You don't have to be too disappointed. I heard that the one I picked up was a sea monster.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he be drowned in the sea?”
"Yuri, what are you and Pablo talking about?" Two middle-aged men with some scars on their faces came from behind, and the tallest one, Yuri, who had a shorter head, asked.
"Some rumors. Valery, are you interested in hearing them?"
"While drinking, I said, the bar owner is treating me, let's go."
After hammering the wooden pile into the ground, Lev noticed the eyes of those people not far away. It seemed that they also knew that he had retrieved someone.
In a small village in the sea like Maggiore, information is closed and living conditions are poor, so naturally no outsiders would be willing to come.
The better local and selective families would go to the towns on the coast. Lev felt that if he had sisters, he would not let them stay here and live a hard life.
Therefore, the imbalance between young men and women in the village is very serious. Those who have a little money can go to black market middlemen or pirate contacts to buy. If they have more money, they can move to the town. Or they can just leave here and go out to work, but most of them have no news.
Lev’s followers are the ones who have no news.
When Lev returned home, he found his mother waiting for him a little worriedly. His mother was also traded by his father who didn't know where he came from. I heard that when he first came here, he was still thinking about escaping from here, but over time, he became
He is now numb and meek, leaving only his devout faith in God.
"Lev, the color of that woman's hair has changed. Come and take a look."
Mrs. Dolly turned to her son for help in a panic. She had always opposed placing the fished-out Hermione at home. She believed that it would bring misfortune to their family and should be returned directly to the sea.
On the bed board, the white silk thread has become crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding ambient light, like a bubble. Lying inside, Hermione's messy long hair turned red starting from the ends and spreading to the middle.
In the dream, Hermione saw the people she knew now and before in the classroom when she was a child; when she moved to her home, the figures of her parents and her parents kept appearing and coming back and forth. For a while, even she couldn't tell whether she had experienced these or not. Maybe
It is reaching a new balance.
Lev also felt a little scared. This man was obviously beyond ordinary people's understanding. He hesitated in his heart, but after looking at it for a while, he became firm again.
"Don't panic, mom. Just take it one step at a time. If it comes back to life later, wouldn't it be possible to drown if you throw it back into the sea?"
Mrs. Dori was murmuring beside her, praying to God to bless her family and keep bad luck away from herself and her son.
In the village of Maggiore at night, the sky is thick with dark clouds, the sound of crashing waves can be heard from the surrounding darkness, and the scattered yellow lights in the village are also wrapped in darkness.
Several big men wearing burlap clothes and covering their faces were looking in from outside Lev's yard.
"Yuri, if it's false, take the blame yourself."
"Valery, I can guarantee this. I also saw that Lev gave a lot of silver coins to the village head Vasily, asking him to acquiesce."
"Egor, listen again, we will go in and take a look. Remember not to cause trouble, we are just here to take a look." Valery, the leader, ordered his companions next to him.
"Valery, it's almost done. The wind is a bit fierce. I just need to be quieter."
Several people touched the wall of the wooden house on the wall of the night, and the friction of the wind and the room "squeak, alas ..." sounded around.
"#@'s, you stepped on me, Pablo."
"Yuri, lower your voice, is this the room?"
"It should be, take off the baffle and take a look."
"Here I go, I'm familiar with this."
The windows are covered from the inside with rows of horizontal wooden boards. In this place, such a structure is more durable and resistant to sea breeze. Yegor skillfully lifted the wooden buckles inside, and then lifted the wooden boards to expose the windows.
"There was a flash of light."
"We are not blind, hurry up and look inside."
A weak blue light lit up from time to time, and several people also saw the "bubble" on the bed. Based on the blue light flashing from the chest, they roughly saw that it was a person. Valery and Yuri carefully turned in without breaking anything.
The sound is like a cat in the dark.
"Fire, Pablo, give me fire quickly."
A candle-sized cylinder was lit and emitted firelight, illuminating the house. The interior was well-furnished, and Lev slept on a wooden board propped up by two chairs next to it. Hermione's hair in the bubble had completely turned into
red.
"Shhh" Yuri made a quiet gesture to everyone. Then he and the others looked at the wooden bed through the window.
"She's so beautiful! She has red hair. It's rare that you, Yuri, didn't boast." Pablo looked a little intoxicated.
"Looking at her clothes and hair color, she must not be a native of Faroe. The dress she is wearing is of exquisite workmanship, unmatched by the rich families in the town. She must be a person of some status, I don't know if she is from Loen or Fenebaud.
People." Valery has a relatively broad knowledge and expressed his conjecture.
"Yes! If she is a noble in trouble, will she get a lot of money by sending her back?"
"I also kind of want to take her home."
Valery and the others couldn't help but be intoxicated by it. They didn't find anything strange, and they didn't think much about it. They somehow had a crush on Hermione who was sleeping in front of them.
The flickering lights and whispers woke Lev up, and he saw several people with their faces covered in front of the bed and at the window shouting, "Who are you and why did you come into my house? Catch the thief!"
Hearing Lev shouting loudly, Valery put out the fire and Yuri quickly dug out, and several people disappeared into the darkness of the night. Mrs. Dori came over to check with a candle, only seeing the shaking board and her son holding a stick.
.
Seeing Hermione lying on the bed, she murmured, "My hair has completely turned red. Could it be that the devil from hell came out? Lord, please forgive my kind-hearted silly son."
In a warmly decorated house, Tatiana was tearing apart her clothes frantically.
"Where are you? The damn Church of the Goddess of the Night always ruins my good deeds."
"It's obviously just one step away, my hope!"
The girl on the bed behind her hugged the quilt tightly and looked at Tatiana in front of her with some trembling. After a while, Tatiana calmed down, took off the torn clothes, and then hugged the girl on the bed tightly with a loving face.
"Honey, it's time to sleep."
In the steeple church, Grantster and Voss were sitting next to each other. The vaults were dotted with stars, which complemented the interior decoration. Some believers were already sitting and waiting.
"Your Excellency, is there any news?"
"I have already told the Church of Fools, and they told us not to worry too much. Their god has marked Hermione, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Is that so? Thank you, Your Excellency Bishop. With the blessing of the gods, you really don't have to worry. Praise the goddess!"
"Praise the goddess!"
"It's almost time for you to leave. It's time to be transferred, otherwise your uncle will also have objections. You have already made a lot of contributions."
"I'll think about it again and I'll reply as soon as possible."
"Yeah! As soon as possible."
Then Grant's figure disappeared from the chair, leaving Voss deep in thought.
The arrival of daylight did not dispel the dark clouds in the sky of Maggiore Village, making the villagers who make a living by fishing worried. In the yard surrounded by wooden sticks, Lev also looked up at the damn weather. There was a loud noise coming from the house.
Lady's voice.
"Lev, she's making some noise, she seems to be waking up."
After hearing this, Lev ran in and found that Hermione, who was lying down, moved slightly, her face was excited, and the silk thread "bubble" seemed to have reached its limit and was about to disappear.
"..., I'm here!" A pleasant voice sounded. It was the first time Lev heard such a pleasant voice, and he came closer.
Hermione opened her eyes and found a vicissitudes of life man with curly and messy hair and a beard occupying most of her sight. She instinctively raised her hand to open it with a punch, and the silk thread bubbles disappeared and dissolved into the air.
'Ah!' screams rang out, and along with the bang on the ground, a scream also rang in her ears. Hermione quickly put her hands on the clothes on her chest, looking warily at the old woman in front of her and the fallen man.
