The pouring rain showed no sign of stopping, and even the interior of the ark began to seep into the water.The heavy rain of the century brought not only water, but also death.More than once, Silas had seen corpses floating on the surface of the water outside his window, whether human or giant, and other lives had also withered away in the relentless rain.There was no land to be seen everywhere, and even the sacred mountain in Noah's mouth seemed to be flooded.In recent days, in addition to the never-ending rain, you can still hear lightning and thunder from the sky from time to time, mixed with terrible roars.That kind of roar is definitely not something that any creature on Earth can make, and every time Noah hears it, he falls to his knees and prays for the Lord to bring peace to the world.Silas watched silently, he had seen too many religious fanatics, but he saw only pure awe in Noah.Neither of them mentioned the matter of the fruit after the monkey stealing the fruit.In addition to playing with the small animals and counting the food inventory, there is also an additional job to plug the water seepage.Days like these were meaningless, and Silas had forgotten how many days had passed on the ark.It's like an unbreakable reincarnation, constantly repeating, and constantly sinking.The food in the warehouse was getting less and less, and Silas finally couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart, and asked Noah, "It's not okay to go on like this, we won't have anything to eat if we continue like this." ”"Every animal on board is willing to give their life for us, this is what the Lord told me before I got on board."
Noah said helplessly."
Why eat them?
Didn't you hide a few fruits?
If you smash the fruit, you can grind it into gruel and eat it. ”Silas was reluctant to eat the animals that accompanied him day and night, and he remembered the fruit in Noah's room."
Nope!
Don't you think!
That's definitely not something like that!
”Noah immediately looked wary and righteously rejected Silas' suggestion."
Do you want to eat alone?
Wait for all the animals on the ship to be eaten by you, and then eat the fruit to satisfy yourself?
Finally eat all the creatures on the ship, and you survive alone?
”Silas asked unhappily.Even though he was just Noah and not such a person, he said this so that Noah would tell the truth about the fruit."
You...You...You...Noah clenched his fists in anger, his face flushed, "You've disappointed me so much!
How could I choose to save you on board?!
You white-eyed wolf!
”With a flick of his hand, he moved out of Silas' field of vision, locked himself in the room, and sat down on his bed without a snort.He took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed down, folded his hands and knelt down, and complained to the Lord, "Lord, can I tell him about the Forbidden Fruit?"
Is he someone I can trust?
I've met quite a few people in my long life.Treacherous, cunning, evil, but I think from the bottom of my heart that Silas will not betray me.Give your commands, O Lord.Guide me, a lost lamb, to the truth. ”There was no voice from the master for a long time, and Noah was even more confused.In the past, the Lord would answer Noah's prayers, but since this rain, Noah feels like he is the only survivor on the isolated island.He knelt so numb that he could barely stand up, but he was still on his knees.In fact, it was not his legs that were numb, but also Noah's heart.If it weren't for the company of Silas to keep him talking, he would have gone crazy by now.Noah reached out and propped himself up on the floor, then stood up.He stood in front of the wooden box where the fruit was kept, and opened it with a heavy heart.It contained a box full of fruit that Sellars had ever seen, still fresh, and the turquoise skin still looked as if it had just been plucked from a tree.If the monkeys were here, they might be drooling.Gritting his teeth, Noah took out one of them and placed it on the table.He opened the door with a gloomy face, saw Silas in a daze by the window, and shouted, "Silas, come here." ”When Silas heard this, he pretended to be nothing and walked into Noah's room.He saw the fruit on the table at a glance, but he didn't do anything.Noah looked left and right in the hallway with a solemn face, and then closed the door after making sure there were no eavesdropping animals nearby."
Silas, I was so excited.The stakes are important, and I was reluctant to tell you at first, because this fruit is not as simple as you think. ”Noah sat down across from Silas and picked up the fruit and placed it flat in the palm of his hand, allowing Silas to see every side of the fruit from all angles."
Beautiful, isn't it?"
Noah muttered to himself."
Well, it's beautiful, and it looks delicious."
Silas nodded."
If it's an ordinary fruit, do you think it can be kept for so long without rotting?"
Noah asks a crucial question that Silas had not thought of before.Silas was stunned and shook his head."
Isn't this ordinary fruit?
It looks very ordinary, except that it is delicious. ”"This is the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden," Noah said with a solemn expression, "the more ordinary it is, the more dangerous it is."
The taste of the forbidden fruit is wonderful, but can you afford to eat it?
”"I don't quite understand why the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden is on this ark?"
Silas asked, puzzled."
Because this ark is hope, and this box of forbidden fruit is a test.If I had eaten this box of forbidden fruits, I don't think the consequences would have been much better than Adam and Eve, right?
”Silas was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I'd rather save my life than to bear my sin." ”Noah looked at Silas with deep meaning, and handed over the forbidden fruit in his hand, "If the forbidden fruit can save lives, then I will bear the related sins. ”Silas took the forbidden fruit, dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the arena of Sennet, holding one of the bluestone slashes in his hand.Thirty squares have dimmed a lot, and it is clear that Toth is much faster than himself in cracking it, but with a total of four long slashes, he has already obtained one, and maybe there is still a chance to win.Silas then stepped into another shiny lattice to continue his quest."
What, Lord Toth is releasing water."
Luo Li pursed her mouth, and at a glance outside the court, she saw that Toth was specially going to pick a world without a long cut to crack, and spent a lot of time in every grid to play in the mountains and rivers, obviously looking like she was going on vacation, and she didn't get serious at all.And when Silas got the long cut, Toth, who was lying on the beach enjoying the sun and the beach, pushed away the beauty in his arms, and raised an arc on his lips, "Not bad, young man, let you have another one, don't let me down." ”"Come, honey, have a glass of freshly squeezed juice.""
Okay, remember to feed me with your mouth.""
Oops, nasty."————, "Ah, there's the smell of freshly made candy over there!"
Let's take a look. ”Naturally, Luisa pulled Rhodes towards the source of the scent."
Oh, you eat sweets all day long, why can't you get fat?"
Rhodes touched his belly.Ever since she was with Luisa, she has been happy to eat and drink every day.There have been no mysterious incidents that have been discovered recently, and all kinds of forces seem to have clamped their tails after the new emperor took office, making the work of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau easier.Relying on the monthly allowance, Rhodes has now saved a small amount of money to marry Luisa."
Hmph, what do you know, every beautiful girl has two stomachs, one of which is specially eaten sweet!"
Louisa led Rhodes past a street corner and into an alley.At the end of the alley, there is an old woman making strips of brightly colored candy at a stall.There was a circle of cute children around the side, and the children were waiting for the grandmother to use their pocket money to buy a quenching glutton."
Wow, look, grandma's business is good."
Luisa said excitedly.But Rhodes frowned."
There is such a stall in such a small alley, and the business is so good?"

Rhodes seemed to smell conspiracy in addition to the smell of candy.Bismarck's exhortation echoed in Rhodes's mind, "The heart of defense is indispensable."
Frederick was a smiling tiger. ”"Wait."
Rhodes pulled Luisa, who had only candy left in her eyes.The old grandmother, who had been bowing her head to make candy before, raised her head and showed a kind smile on her face, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise."
This batch is done.Line up and come one by one.Fifty pfennigs one. ”The children immediately cheered and obediently lined up in a small line.Rhodes looked up and looked around, and his face immediately changed.The cold light reflected from the window of the small building next to the alley, and after being in love with Luisa for so long, Rhodes naturally knew that it was the characteristic of bows and arrows.The whole incident happened by such a coincidence, and it was clearly a trap."
Huh?
What's wrong?
”Luisa asked, puzzled.The sweet, tantalizing scent of candy made Luisa let her guard down, and the laziness of recent days had left her unaware of the danger she was in.Rhodes held Luisa's hand firmly, and the two fingers were always clasped together, and Rhodes began to tap lightly on the back of Luisa's hand with his index finger."
It's nothing, I just remembered that there seemed to be some documents in the office that hadn't been processed, why don't you go back with me first?"
Rhodes scratched his head with his other hand, and then placed it in his pocket seemingly naturally.In fact, this action is to hold the flintlock pistol that you always carry with you when the enemy is unprepared.And the sudden small movements of Rhodes also aroused Luisa's vigilance, Rhodes is a person who never puts his hands in his pockets, such small movements can only be noticed between lovers."
Alright, let's go back and come out again."
Luisa winked at Rhodes."
The little girl and the little young over there, don't you come to eat?"
The old grandmother raised her voice and said a word to the two."
No thanks, we'll come back next time."
Rhodes smiled and replied politely."
At this time, you can't show any flaws, there are more than a dozen children in front of you, in case none of the killers on the other side can't think of it, it will be dangerous to be angry with these innocent children."
Rhodes leaned over Louisa and whispered.Luisa nodded with minimal movements.Then, just as the two were about to turn away, the children happily held the candy in their hands high, jumped and laughed and ran out of the alley.When the children all ran past him, Rhodes' eyes went dark and he bent down."
More than one."
Rhodes thought to himself.A small dagger stabbed Rhodes in the lower abdomen, and when Luisa reacted, she immediately picked up Rhodes and ran out.And the archers who had been waiting behind him for a long time shot a charged arrow.Luisa ran all the way back into the street, shouting in despair, "Someone!
Someone's coming!
”"ShhhhI'm late. ”The shadow that had been keeping watch by Bismarck's side appeared.He was holding a human head in his hand, and from the disbelief on the human head, he could tell that this was the archer who had a hidden arrow that hurt people.He threw the head of the man in his hand to the side and simply pulled out the dagger in Rhodes' lower abdomen.He took out some emergency medicine from his body and sprinkled it on Rhodes's wound, then tore off a sleeve to bandage it."
It's fine if you're okay."
Rhodes trembled and took Luisa's hand and said with a pale face."
Are you an idiot?!
Don't run away even if you know it's dangerous!
”Luisa cried into tears, holding Rhodes' hand."
Miss Louisa, for the sake of safety, I suggest that you do not speak to Mr.
Rhodes for a while.The arrow in the back may have injured the lungs, and talking could cause blood to enter the respiratory tissues, you know what I mean?
”The shadow said coldly.As he spoke, he didn't stop working on first aid.He tore the clothes off Rhodes' back and squinted his eyes to look near the wound."
There is no discoloration, there should be no quenching."
The shadow muttered to himself.Shadow took out the dagger he had with him, sliced the arrow, leaving a small half in the wound, then picked up Rhodes and said to Luisa, "Keep up." ”"Thank you, Mr.
Shadow."
Rhodes said weakly behind the shadows."
This was my mistake, Mr.
Rhodes, don't kill me like that.I should have ruled out these assassinations for Mr.
Rhodes. ”The shadow's tone didn't change, but Rhodes could feel his guilt."
Ahem, if I die, help me take care of Luisa until she finds a good home."
Rhodes spat out a mouthful of blood as he spoke."
If the injury doesn't kill, just shut up."
The shadow glanced away, but Rhodes was already unconscious.
