Chapter 29 The encounter of the sailor
Jack looked in horror at the lamb legs and steaks that appeared in front of him, delicacies that only the rich could afford, as well as the neatly arranged high-end spices. A chill ran down his spine, and he looked around subconsciously.
Looking around, he wanted to see an enemy, even if the enemy was not something he could deal with, it would give him even the slightest sense of peace of mind.
But no, he saw nothing except the calm sea surface that could collapse at any time.
But when he turned his head, he saw that the black bread and salty dried meat in front of him were back. He breathed a sigh of relief, then took the lantern on the side, twisted away the hot lampshade, and then
When a piece of brown bread was toasted, he felt completely relieved. He placed the piece of bread on his right leg and picked up a piece of dried meat.
However, the moment he was about to touch the meat, he felt a severe burning sensation on his thigh. He stood up under the pain and not only opened the lampshade of his only lantern,
Rotten, he also shook off the hot thing on his leg. The lantern even rolled to the ground and was completely extinguished.
He cursed, then relit his lantern to look at the thing that had burned him, and then something shocked him. Not only was his leg covered with oil stains, but his piece of bread was also missing, replaced by
It was a smoking one, and it looked like a greasy leg of lamb just out of the oven. He froze on the spot, and directly pulled out the scimitar from his waist with his other hand, but before he could do anything,
With any movement, a gust of wind blew, and the lantern in his hand went out without the protection of the lampshade, plunging him directly into darkness.
He didn't know what happened after that. He only remembered that he was pushed around by a group of people, but he had no strength to resist at all, and gradually fell into a coma. But when he woke up again, his
There was still darkness in front of him, and the only thing he could see was a strange face and a pair of dull eyes.
He screamed and wanted to leave, but he almost fell into the sea. When he screamed and pulled his head out of the sea, he discovered that the strange face he just saw was actually a
It was a dead fish, and on his own boat, his lantern was not only intact, but his bread was also completely placed in his pocket, as if everything he had encountered before was a dream.
But the feeling of being mixed into the sea at any time still lingered around him, making him unable to make a single sound. He could only stare at the overly gloomy sky in front of him and the extremely dark sea under the influence of psychology.
He no longer even wanted to understand what happened.
In this way, he spent seven days at sea. Every night, he would encounter something like brown bread turning into a delicacy. Although he never encountered the experience of being pushed into the water again, during these seven days, he
During the night, I witnessed more strange things.
On the first day, his lantern spontaneously ignited without fire. Even if he filled it with sea water, his lantern still lit up with an unyielding green light.
The next day, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the wild laughter of a knight. These wild laughter and the sound of horse hooves accompanied him all night, and his lantern still shone with a strange light.
On the third day, he met a man who was in a shipwreck in the white night. Jack, who watched the burning ship sinking, finally saw a living person besides him, so he was frightened by the experience of the past few days.
Out of courage, he not only saved the man, but also drank the rum the other man brought with him. But as morning approached, the man kept smiling at Jack, and when Jack realized something was wrong,
It happened to be when the first ray of sunlight rose, and at this time, under Jack's horrified gaze, the man slowly turned into a grinning broken skeleton, and the rum that was so sweet before was also
After throwing the skeleton down, he found bottles of bitter sea water.
On the fourth day, he saw a piece of land with young girls having a bonfire dinner on it. But just as he was about to set foot on the land, the iron amulet of Nagakapoulos on his body suddenly
The break made him immediately realize that something was wrong. Then when he took his feet back, the girls and the land disappeared amidst the ferocious laughter of those girls.
On the fifth day, his sword automatically unsheathed itself at night and swung it within the range of the boat all night.
On the sixth day, exhausted, he heard wild laughter and the sound of horse hooves again, as well as the scene of a knight with green flames running continuously, but he soon fainted from extreme fear.
On the seventh day, he saw...
"truth."
Jack covered his head and showed a troubled expression.
"I don't know how to describe that thing. It shines with white light and purple light, which radiates from the depths of the sea. It reflects a light on the sea surface and dispels the feeling that the sea is about to collapse. But I
But I could only stare at that thing, my heart full of longing for that thing. Although I didn't hear any sound, I just knew that it was the truth and the starting point of all the world. Until now, I only know that it is the truth.
I can describe it like this because among all my words, this is the only word suitable to describe that thing. And although there were countless tentacles twisting around it, I didn't feel scared at that time, but
I feel at ease, as if a real God should be like this."
Li Ke and Nora looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other, but Li Ke always felt that this thing was very similar to the void he often encountered, and he glanced at the newspaper on his table, and then continued to ask
This man.
"Then how did you leave?"
"It was a mermaid, although it was a pity that it was a male, but he held a staff and called a stream of water to push me away from that place. He said his name was Rasha and he was bringing a little mermaid named Nami.
, and told me that what I saw was not the truth, but a terrifying existence. And he also gave me a pearl so that I could get a large bottle of water every day. This is why I can survive three
The reason for the moon.”
Having said this, he took out a pearl about the size of a table tennis ball from his pocket, and after holding it tightly, streams of clear water continued to emerge from the pearl in his hand.
The sailors around are looking at this pearl, because as long as you have such a thing, you will not die of thirst on the sea, and its importance is evident.
Nora next to Li Ke also said "Oh" softly, licked her lips, and crossed her legs. It was obvious that the use she thought of was not the same as what the sailors thought. But Li Ke
He didn't care much about this thing, but after hearing this, Li Ke became more concerned about the little mermaid Nami in his mouth, and the three months he said repeatedly made him doubtful again.
"Are you sure you've been driving for three months?"
However, although Jack noticed something was wrong, he still nodded seriously.
"Yes, even though I have adapted to this kind of life and found a routine in the following days, the rising and setting of the sun every day is still etched in my heart."
However, he saw the newspaper in Li Ke's hand, so his face froze. He ignored the obstruction and came to Li Ke's side. He picked up the brand new newspaper next to Li Ke and looked at it with a livid face. It was only a few meters away from his departure.
Four days later, he looked at Li Ke again.
Li Ke saw boundless shock and fear on his face, and then...
