"If Knight Descartes is smart enough, he should be able to realize that the longer he delays, the better it will be for us... I think he is old enough and still has some experience and cleverness, so he won't be that nervous."
"Finally... the more critical the situation is, the more we need to take our time."
She reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, pulling it off a bag of herbs.
"Take it slow...it'll be faster."
A minute later, Xia Yibing was driven out with a dazed look on her face, standing on the deck enjoying the sea breeze.
When Aisuen is serious, he is really irresistible...
I was determined to supervise her and prevent her from lying, but I hesitated when I looked into her eyes...
Xia Yibing, Xia Yibing, you can't even carry out this level of determination and you were dismissed so easily... What on earth are you thinking about?
I can’t blame her… that face of hers is too attractive. When she looked at me with that tough expression, I must have been in a daze…
"Woof woof!" Lily came up to her and licked her brown leather boots twice, "Woof woof woof!"
"Before today, I thought you had already made great contributions, but I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise in the end."
She bent down and picked up the big dog, using brute force to turn it sideways in her arms. The woman treated it with rare tenderness, gently stroking the hair on its chin.
"If you can close the case, I will reward you well."
"Wow~~~"
"I'll find you a male dog to breed with."
“Woof…? Aaaaaaaaa——”
Lily immediately struggled, broke free from the woman's arms and jumped off the deck.
dislike?
Xia Yibing was stunned. In the last second, she thought that this stupid dog could really understand human language and even understood what "breeding" meant. The next moment, she immediately felt that the frequency of the boat's shaking was wrong.
The boat was pitching all the time.
Although it is a shallow bay, the waves near the coast are relatively large due to the vibration of the continental plates. The small boats anchored on the water also rise and fall with the waves.
But at least it was limited and not exaggerated. It was not like now, as if something was pulling the bow of the boat and making it sink suddenly.
She grabbed a two-pronged harpoon placed nearby and wanted to go to the front of the deck to take a look. However, just after taking two steps, she heard a shrill scream from below.
Walking quickly forward and sticking her head out, the woman saw Bill Ponco confronting a giant blue crab on the second deck.
This thing should be the culprit that caused the bow to sink. It flipped up... and met Bill... The old agent was holding his precious cane in his hand, which was actually a sword... a sharp rapier hidden in the cane.
The dark blue giant crab had a shell covered with mottled corals, and its two serrated pincers were constantly waving and clamping in the air, but its body was retreating - its two bulgy eyes had exploded.
They say he's good at rapier-fencing, and it seems he's not exaggerating.
Nodding, Xia Yibing suddenly took a big step forward, stretched out her left arm, raised the harpoon with her right arm and pulled her upper body backward. Her whole body was extremely elastic at this moment, like a taut bow - she threw the harpoon out with force.
With a sound of "Duo!", Bill was about to chase after him when he suddenly heard a noise behind him.
Looking back, I saw a starfish as big as a watermelon nailed to the mast by a harpoon.
This thing looked like a big starfish, but in fact it had sharp teeth all around its mouth and tentacles. Its pierced body kept trembling and twitching on the harpoon, and it tried to continue extending its tentacles towards him.
"A cruel thing..."
Grinning, terrified by the consequences of his negligence, Bill tipped his hat to the top.
"Thanks, boss!"
"I owe you one!"
Xia Yibing pulled the corners of her mouth, she couldn't be as optimistic as him.
All the expected things happened one by one. These strange creatures were obviously not normal beach residents. It must be that the changes on the seabed alarmed them and blew them out.
Will there be more to come?
Is there enough time?
Or should I not ask to go in with her, but stay on the boat to watch over her...
She was so absorbed in the problem that she didn't even notice someone approaching.
It was not until the other person was about to touch her shoulder that she turned around suddenly and saw that it was Hitzfeld - the girl was holding a test tube in each hand, staring and grinning, as if she was frightened by her.
"Sorry Aisuen... Is the potion ready?"
Xia Yibing found it a little hard to believe... How long had it been since she started until she finished?
It definitely wasn’t this fast last time, right?
"I can only say that people's potential is forced out." The girl wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve.
"Besides, she has already processed some of the materials. All I have to do is extract the ingredients and mix them together... It's just the simplest addition."
"So it's two?"
The woman stared at the two test tubes and suddenly frowned.
"Why don't you see any side effects?"
Soul-guiding incense is divided into main medicine and auxiliary medicine.
The main medicine is "soul-guiding" and the secondary medicine can "induce hallucinations".
Now if she guessed correctly, there is only "soul guidance"?
"Soul Guidance" has a strong attraction to things in the dream world. Without hallucinogens to back it up, wouldn't it be the end of you if you enter the dream world and encounter danger?
"No need for the secondary medicine." Hitzfeld's face darkened, "Otherwise, we can't split it into two doses."
Part of the original main medicine is used to neutralize the toxicity of the auxiliary medicine.
If you want a secondary medicine, you can only make one dose of the medicine.
Only by abandoning the secondary medicine can there be two doses, so that both of them can go in.
"..." Xia Yibing struggled. She knew that Hitzfeld asked her to choose.
I was touched... because the girl was truly honest with me. All the options and the consequences of all the options were basically shown to her. She didn't have to make any sacrifices privately like she did in Longguo.
"I'm going with you."
After thinking about it, Xia Yibing still felt that this was the best option.
Hallucinogens are not a panacea.
The first time the girl used the secondary medicine, but what was the result? Dai Lin was still able to lock her.
She didn't want to place her hopes on vague possibilities. If possible, she still hoped to control everything in her own hands... At least she would die with a clear mind!
"That's fine." Hitzfeld seemed relieved and smiled. "As expected... you can't bear to leave me."
"I can't bear to give it up in this life!"
The woman moved closer to her, staring at her face, her eyes moving to the collar around her neck.
"I always fantasize about taking it off and letting me put on another one for you."
This bastard is talking nonsense again -
The corner of Hitzfeld's mouth twitched.
How did she always come up with such weird phrases?
And I also...
I always feel embarrassed...
Suddenly, a potion in my hand was snatched away.
Xia Yibing raised her head and drank the potion in one gulp as she exclaimed.
"..." Hitzfeld glared at her with gritted teeth and could only drink his own.
"Lüshier has already sent out a signal flare... a fleet will come to guard this place."
She suddenly felt drowsy and fell towards the woman, who held her in her arms.
"Go back to the cabin," she said.
"The next thing is..."
"It's up to us..."
Chapter 5 The Beginning of Life -- k
After the familiar dizziness and sinking, Hitzfeld opened his eyes again.
She took off the eye mask before closing her eyes. She lifted her hair from her forehead and looked around with a pair of heterochromatic eyes. She was surprised to find that there was no one in the cabin.
Didn’t Xia also drink the medicine?
She didn't understand and felt a little panicked inside.
She also deeply understood that this panic was not for herself, but because she was worried about Xia Yibing and was afraid that there was something wrong with the medicine she drank.
My physical and spiritual abilities are much weaker than those of ordinary people, but I have strong control over my body.
Hitzfeld began to recall every detail of how he prepared the potion.
So I can do a pen sketch right after I wake up... I can control the hovering and swinging of the pen tip.
This talent is also reflected in perfume making. All the perfumes that I can make successfully, as long as I succeed in the first time, I will never fail in the future...
"Aisun?"
Just as Hitzfeld was daydreaming, the door of the rear cabin was opened and Xia Yibing's upper body leaned in.
Hitzfeld turned around quickly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was her and that she seemed completely fine. Then he gradually restrained his expression and stared at her with a frown.
Xia Yibing immediately realized that her behavior was a bit excessive and apologized immediately: "Uh... I did drink the medicine before you, and I 'woke up' earlier... I just wanted to see if we entered the 'Ocean Dream'..."
"But I ignored your feelings...I'm sorry, Aisuen, I have to tell you I'm sorry."
"I just hope you don't think I'm the kind of person who needs protection unilaterally." Hitzfeld calmed down and said to her, "'Dancing Sword Technique' may have a chance to be used in this environment. I can also... I can also provide strength to protect you!"
"Okay." Xia Yibing had no intention of refutation at all. She opened the door and made an invitation: "Then can Miss Hitzfeld come out to protect me...?"
"After all, you know, we don't have much time."
“…I don’t need you to remind me.”
Hitzfeld glared at her, took a step on the floor, and moved forward several meters as if floating in water, and flew straight past the woman.
I always feel that she is not as lovely here as she is outside.
Raising her eyebrows, Xia Yibing turned around and followed.
Of course she understood why Hitzfeld was angry, because if it was just to confirm whether she had entered the "Ocean Dream", she could also feel this abnormal gravity in the cabin.
But he did not choose the most conservative approach - staying for a dozen more seconds to wait for her to wake up - but took the initiative to run out to check for possible dangers.
Don't forget, they all took soul-attracting incense. The main ingredient of soul-attracting incense has an extremely strong attraction to the creatures in the dream world, but this time there is no secondary drug with hallucinogenic effect to provide a backup protection.
Without Hitzfeld, she couldn't use the "Dancing Sword Technique" by herself. She was actually angry at herself for being so arrogant, angry that this side saw her as a weak burden.
So there is reason to be angry.
Xia Yibing caught up with the girl from behind, grabbed her hand, and gently clasped it, feeling her clenching her fingers little by little.
Hitzfeld turned in mid-air, his dark skirt spreading out due to inertia, and he stared at the woman quietly through her flowing hair.
It's magical... Even though neither side explained it, they could understand each other's intentions.
And they are also sure that each of them knows that the other can understand.
This kind of tacit understanding might be the most precious thing in the world... Hitzfeld gradually became in a good mood, and without waiting for Xia Yibing to apologize further, he pulled her over and pounced on her.
puff-
Xia Yibing had to admit that this was the first time she entered the ocean world in her dream.
The feeling was no different from a ghost entering a dream, as if the spirit passed through a membrane, and being underwater did not affect her breathing.
Of course……
She cursed.
