Justes lay on the cold stone slabs of the cavern, curled up in a ball, mouth open and gasping for breath like a rainbow trout out of water.After squeezing the last bit of strength out of his body, he began to convulse all over his body, and the cyan fish scales under his skin became more and more obvious, gradually spreading to his face.The green glow in his eyes dissipated little by little, and his eyes gradually became clearer, but the pain in his body did not diminish at all.The outbreak of drug addiction made him lose his mind, unable to suppress the blood of the kraken in his body, and turned into a monster with fish fins growing on his limbs and fish scales on his body, and was violently beaten by Karantso, who rushed over later, and the kraken's signs disappeared from Justes's body little by little, and he came to his senses.He had been tortured in the Dark Arts Order's stronghold of Rejustes, and since we rescued him, he has been in poor health.The idea of a rescue seems a bit inappropriate, and perhaps Justers doesn't think so.Presumably when he thought he was just moving from one cave to another, nothing more.I don't know what kind of pain I have to endure when I become addicted to demonic blood.I still remember Sue at that time, once the drug addiction attacked, he would enter the state of the shadow body.Karantso seemed to know what was going on in my mind at the moment, and she said to me, "Compared to Sue at that time, his level of addiction is far worse!""
It may hurt a little, bear with it!"
I walked up to Justus and said to him.A pale blue six-pointed star circle rose beneath my feet, and a hydrotherapy spell landed on Justes's body, causing his face to twist in excruciating pain.I crouched down and asked him, "Are you a descendant of the Kraken?"
”"I'm like this, can I still tell you that I'm not?"
He smiled wryly, the fish scales on his face making him look a little hideous.I said, "You know what?
I came all the way to Dunai Island to find you!
”Justes lay on the stone slab as if his whole body was paralyzed, and only his mouth and eyes could move.He said weakly, "What do you want to know, what kind of treasure do you think my mother will leave me?"
If that's what you're thinking, then you'll be very disappointed that she hasn't been able to leave anything but this body with the blood of the Kraken. ”"After so many years, there will always be people who have come from all corners of the world, and they, like you, are also looking for my mother's whereabouts, but these people never thought that the Kraken also has a lifespan, and she will grow old and die too."
He stared at me, his eyes looking complicated.I was surprised: "She's dead?"
”He wanted to laugh, but found that when he pulled the corners of his mouth, the muscles of his face were a little stiff, and he only slightly pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Counting it, it's been about twenty years." ”"Oh, I see, I heard she has a soul horn?"
I asked Justes.Justes told me, "Every Kraken has a Soul Horn, and she is no exception, I thought you were here for the half of the treasure map left by the rumored Pirate King, but I didn't expect you to come for that Soul Horn." ”I said to him, "I mean I just want to borrow the soul horn, and of course I will pay you a reward that satisfies you, and I will sign a magic contract with you to ensure that after the ceremony, I will return the original thing." ”"I don't have any soul horns in my hands, in fact, her soul horns were snatched away a long time ago!"
There was a hint of nostalgia in Justes' eyes, the memories seemed to be a long time ago, and his eyes wandered, and his thoughts turned out of the memories, and he said to me: "Actually, I have never even seen it, it only exists in my mother's memories." ”"Someone snatched the soul horn?"
I said in a lost voice.It was a little strange to me, but I had a sense of self-awareness: Justes was telling the truth."
Yes, of course, you can choose to believe it or you can choose not to believe it, just like I don't have any half of the treasure map in my hand, in short, who will believe what I say?"
He said."
I believe in you!"
I said to him."
Huh?"
He looked at me with some astonishment."
I'm sure what you're saying is true."
I looked him in the eye and said to him seriously."
Am I supposed to show gratitude for your trust at this time?"
He asked me again with a wry smile on his face."
Of course not."
I was a little uncomfortable with his humor, and casually said to him, "If I could, I would like to know whose hands that soul horn ended up in, I just want to find that soul horn, it is very important to me." ”He didn't speak, just looked at me with a look that was no different from you.In silence, I suddenly realized that I didn't know how to speak.After a while, he suddenly asked me, "Am I dying?"
”I said to Justus, "Speaking of which, you have a heavy addiction to drugs, it is a potion from the hellish world when you came, although it can be seen occasionally in the Grimm Empire, but it is also a very rare magic material, and the magicians of the Grimm Empire like to use it to make the Blue Fire Ink, which is the main ingredient for drawing magic catalytic scrolls. ”"Sounds like it's valuable?"
Justes asked me."
Generally speaking, scarce things are expensive!"
I say.Then I said to him, "However, drug addiction will not affect your life, but in the coming days, your life will become more and more difficult, which is the usual method of the Dark Arts Retreat, but this method of interrogation is very expensive and not everyone can enjoy it." ”"What is your relationship with the Dark Arts Retreat?"
Justes was a little curious about me.He asked me, "Alliance?"
”I shook my head.He asked, "Enemy?"
”I nodded."
Oh!"
He said noncommittally."
I can help you get rid of your addiction at the cost of staying with me for a while."
I said to Justes, "Of course, you can not accept my help, in which case you will be free at once, and I can send you to the docks on Dunai." ”He stared at me strangely and asked, "You don't want to know the whereabouts of the Soul Horn?"
”I smiled and replied, "Didn't you already tell me?"
”His eyes widened, and his voice was a little rapid, and his pitch became slightly higher, causing his voice to be a little sharp: "When did I say that?"
”I pointed to his eyes and said to him, "The answer is hidden in your eyes, it is you who tell me with your eyes that the soul horn is hidden in the treasure of the Pirate King, and only by finding the treasure of the Pirate King can you find that soul horn, so I want to try it and see if I can find the treasure of the Pirate King." ”"Well, you're right, it was the Pirate King who snatched the horn from my mother, and I don't know if it was hidden with the treasure, because no one has ever seen it."
There was a hint of exhaustion in Just's eyes, and the two eyelids kept fighting.His consciousness gradually became trance-like, and he said to me, "I'm a little sleepy, if I can wake up, maybe I can tell you a story!"
”"Have a good dream!"
Watching Justes fall into a coma, the fish scale lines on his face are dissipating little by little, and the bone spurs growing on his elbows, ankles, and back are retracted into his body little by little, returning to his original human appearance, his face is even paler, and it seems that after exhausting all his strength, he can sleep well.Turning and walking out of the stone chamber, I was going to talk to another evil mage and see what he could say to me.The sorcerer was no different from the sorcerer named Etley before him, and said in unison: "I came to Dunai Island to ask Justus about the whereabouts of the half of the treasure map."
My mind is clearly reminded of the maritime feuds of the Vaschi Plane decades ago: decades ago, there was a powerful pirate king in the waters of the Vasqi Plane, and his life was almost constantly conquering other pirates, and he led the most powerful pirate legions to rob countless treasures.Among them is that after the death of the Kraken's soul horn pirate king, he hid the treasure he had accumulated all his life to a secret place, and drew a treasure map, which he divided in two and gave it to his two sons, hoping that their brothers could work together to share the treasure together, but what people didn't expect was that the two sons of the pirate king turned against each other because of this.The eldest son of the Pirate King joined forces with the Kraken to defeat the Pirate King's second son, and in the end, it was the Kraken who snatched the half of the treasure map from the second son's hand, and his whereabouts are unknown.Years later, the pirates still remembered the treasure map, searching for the Siren's whereabouts, but never sharing the secret with anyone else.The second mage saw that there was no surprise in my eyes, and feared that I would drag him into the weaving workshop to feed the spiders, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and told me another thing: that the eldest son of the Pirate King did not have the ability to command the people left behind by the Pirate King, and a few years later, he died in a rebellion of pirates, and the whereabouts of the half of the treasure map in the eldest son's possession were unknown.Thinking of this, I thought of Johnny on the Slave Trader again.
Captain Jones and the half of the treasure map that had been found on his ship.When Justus woke up again, the native woman of Hierro, who had taken care of him, approached Karantso and told her: Justus wants to talk to me.Karantso found me again.I saw Justes in the stone room, and saw that he looked much better than before, except for two large dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were sunken, and his face was haggard, and he was leaning against the stone wall, with a wolf's skin mattress behind him, and when he saw me coming, he smiled at me reluctantly, and looked like a very polite gentleman.He has been resisting the addiction in his body, which is why his spirit seems so haggard.In front of his couch lay a bowl of fish soup and half a pancake, all of which had only moved slightly.It seems that the indigenous woman of Hierro is very good at taking care of people.When I came this time, the El Hierro native-woman even brought a stone bench out of the corner of the stone chamber and sat me down in front of Justus, who I saw was covered with a thick layer of fur, but his face was still iron-blue.When Justus saw me, he cheered up and said, "Now that I've said it, I'm going to tell you a story if I wake up!"
”I nodded to him and said I would like to sit and listen quietly."
