The battle between Reggie and Grace quickly spread throughout the Spiked Island, and Reggie got a new nickname for it: The God of the Floating Black Swamp Lake.
No one wants to fight against the gods, which is why Reggie insisted on pretending to be cool. This contest between wizards established Reggie's status on the Spiked Island.
Grace was tied up in the secret room of the castle. Doranor knew the weakness of the shield witch very well. As long as her legs were tied together, Grace would not be able to use witchcraft.
Lying on the straw mat, Grace looked at the ceiling in despair, waiting for death to come. She thought that Reggie would definitely execute her, and before she died, she would probably have to endure unbearable torture and humiliation.
There were no windows in the secret room, and she couldn't tell the difference between day and night. In fact, she only stayed in the secret room for less than half a day, but she felt like she had been suffering here for several years.
At dusk, Reggie finally appeared. He walked into the secret room alone, and his sinister smile under the candlelight made people's hair stand on end.
Grace tried her best to control her fear and spat hard at Reggie. This was the only counterattack she could do.
"Come on, green-haired bastard! Come on! Kill me!" Grace roared, "I'm not afraid of you, kill me! Let me see if you are a man!"
"Of course I am a man, Muhahahaha!" Reggie smiled ferociously, "I will prove it to you now!"
"Come on! Green-haired bastard!" Grace gritted her teeth, "I have tried more men than you have ever seen! Come on!"
Grace's mouth was very tough, but she was very scared in her heart.
It may sound a bit absurd, but in fact, this pirate queen has never had any inappropriate behavior with a man. The reason is simple. She has established a goddess-like status among pirates by virtue of her witchcraft. If the goddess can be easily possessed by others,
, then her position can be easily replaced by others.
When she thought that she would be insulted by Reggie, Grace wanted to end her life in the most painful way. She closed her eyes, and there was only one thought left in her mind: to prevent this devil from having fun, it would be best to bite his throat out.
, there is always a way to anger him and make him kill him as soon as possible.
But after she closed her eyes and waited for a long time, she found that Reggie didn't pounce on her.
There was a weird chewing sound in her ears, as if Reggie was eating. Grace opened her eyes and found that Reggie was chewing dried fish with relish.
"Your subordinates donated all the dried fish to me. This stuff tastes really good."
Grace looked at Reggie blankly and asked, "You came to me...just to let me watch you eat dried fish?"
"Not just this," Reggie swallowed a big mouthful of dried fish and licked his lips hard, "I also want to ask you a few questions. Why don't you come to my banquet but want to fight with me?"
"You want to cut off my nose and make me do hard labor!"
"Who told you this?"
"Who else could it be? You yourself wrote a letter of challenge to me."
"Who sent you the letter of challenge?"
Grace was stunned. She seemed to realize something: "It's... a letter of challenge sent by Silio's envoy. Is that letter of challenge false?"
"Please think about it carefully. I just said I would treat you to dinner. Why did I declare a challenge to you for no reason? Also, why did you break the appointment? Why didn't I see you last night?"
"Last night?" Grace was even more confused, "Isn't the banquet today?"
"I knew it! You were tricked by this fat guy!" Reggie sighed and carefully picked out the fish meat on the fish bone. "I gave you a chance. Mingxuan sent another messenger, but why didn't you listen?
His words?"
"I don't want to listen to him, why should I listen to him?" Grace looked at the dried fish in Reggie's hand, swallowed her saliva and said, "Actually, the fish bones are also very soft and can be eaten together."
Reggie hesitated for a moment, then threw the fish bone aside: "It seems that your relationship with Mingxuan is somewhat special."
"Didn't he tell you?"
"No," Reggie shook his head and said, "Let me guess, are you his lover?"
"You have really bad taste," Grace looked at Reggie with disgust, "Do you think I can like that bad old man? He is my relative, he and my mother gave birth to me."
"He and your mother gave birth to you, so that's how it is." After a few seconds of silence, Reggie took a breath. The fish bone got stuck in his throat and almost killed him. When he spit out the fish bone, Reggie
She looked at Grace in shock and said, "You mean, Mingxuan is your father?"
"He doesn't deserve it," Grace gritted her teeth. "He regards me as a shame. From the day he abandoned my mother, he has been my enemy!"
"That's not the point," Reggie put down the dried fish, "How old is he? How could he have a twenty-one-year-old daughter?
"He is thirty-seven years old this year. He gave birth to me when he was sixteen. What's so strange about that?"
This is true. In this era, sixteen years old is definitely not considered the age for early childbearing. Especially among the Dongsang people, according to their tradition, the age of marriage is reached at the age of twelve or thirteen. Some people are already married before the age of thirty.
grandfather.
Reggie stared at Grace for a long time. In fact, he should have discovered some features, such as cheekbones and eye sockets, as well as her round and plump cheeks. Her appearance has many oriental characteristics, but her rough temperament
Reggie couldn't see the shadow of the Orientals at all.
"Since you are Mingxuan's daughter, why don't you live in the territory of the Dongsang people? Why did you become the leader of the Pallas people?"
"Why should I live in the territory of those cowards? My mother is from Pallas, and she is the proud Queen of Pallas!" When she mentioned her mother, a proud look immediately appeared on Grace's face, "
She is good at fighting and fearless. The soldiers love her even more than the Poseidon. She can make all enemies fearful. That stupid pig Syrio doesn't even dare to look her in the eyes!"
Reggie was chewing dried fish while listening to Grace tell her mother's story. When Mingxuan was mentioned, Grace's face showed sadness again.
"The only mistake she made was to fall in love with that cowardly man and to save him..."
Grace raised her head, held back tears, and then sneered: "I really shouldn't tell you this, but it doesn't matter, I'm going to die anyway."
Reggie smiled and said, "Do you think I will kill you?"
"Don't you know how?"
"I did think about it," Reggie sighed, "but if I kill you, I have to kill all the Pallas. They are too difficult to tame."
"You devil," Grace spat in Reggie's face again, "Do you want to kill all my people!"
Reggie wiped the saliva from his face and said with a smile: "I don't want to do that, so I plan to let you live."
After speaking, Reggie untied Grace.
Grace looked at Reggie in shock. When the tying rope was completely loosened, she rushed forward and grabbed Reggie's neck.
"Are you really brave enough to let me go?"
Reggie grabbed Grace's hair and gritted his teeth: "You ungrateful woman, I shouldn't be soft-hearted to you!"
The two struggled for a while, and Reggie tried his best, but Grace showed mercy, and the battle finally ended in a draw.
Grace tidied her messy hair, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and panted: "I didn't expect your skills to be quite good."
Reggie rubbed the bruises on his face, wiped away two lines of nosebleeds, and said, "If you hadn't seen that you were a woman, I would have beaten you to the point of death!"
"Hahahaha!" Grace's laughter was even better than Reggie's, "Aren't you afraid of me? If I use witchcraft, you will be dead!"
"I'm afraid, I'm really a little afraid," Reggie answered very frankly. "I don't know if I'm afraid now, but I was afraid before. When you forced me to jump into Black Swamp Lake, I was so scared that I peed my pants!"
Grace sneered: "I knew you were a coward!"
"Are you great? You peed your pants too, do you think I don't know?"
"How do you know?"
"I changed the clothes for you with my own hands. There is something I don't know about!"
"Go to hell, devil!"
The two fought together again. When they were tired, Grace lay on the ground and said, "Can you give me a dried fish?"
"Of course not, this is mine, it's all mine!" Reggie picked up the last dried fish and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The pain on the corner of his mouth made him tremble.
"Are you going to let me starve to death like this?" Grace looked at Reggie angrily.
"Don't worry, someone will bring you food. Besides, I also have a gift to give you."
Reggie brought in a toilet from outside the door.
Grace stepped forward and kicked Reggie, shouting: "You dirty scoundrel!"
"Isn't it obscene to let you defecate in the open?" Reggie placed the toilet in front of Grace. "I originally wanted to tailor one for you, but your butt is too big, and the craftsman said that it needs to be prepared again.
materials, so I can only find one first and let you make do with it.”
"Go away!" Grace yelled, "Don't let me see you again!"
Reggie walked to the door wisely, and heard Grace shout again: "Wait a minute! Are you... really not going to kill me?"
"Unless you betray me again."
Reggie opened the door and heard Grace shout again: "When will you let me out!"
"Soon, until you are completely loyal to me."
Reggie had already walked outside the door and heard Grace shout again: "Wait a minute! Do you think mine...is really big?"
Reggie smiled and turned around and said, "It's very big, but I like it."
This time Reggie really left. Grace looked at the toilet on the floor and murmured: "Is it really that big?"
She sat on it and tried it for a while, then stood up again two minutes later and kicked the toilet hard: "This thing is obviously too small!"
