"I'm going to eat that. Yesterday's canned food wasn't tasty. It was so salty that it almost killed me."
When passing by a restaurant, Lily suddenly pointed at the charcoal-grilled prawns on someone's plate behind the glass window and shouted.
Ledger paused slightly, then without saying anything, he nodded and walked into the busy restaurant with Lily.
Soon, on the sofa in a private room, Ledger watched Lily eat the white shrimp with a smile, and he was waiting beside her with two different sauces in his hands.
Lily was eating voraciously while peeking around. When she saw that there were no rat holes in the room, a trace of distress appeared on her face.
Of course she didn't come here to eat, she actually came here to find companions.
Suddenly Lily swallowed what was in her mouth and complained to Ledger: "How can I eat with you watching me like this! I don't like people watching me while I eat, get out now!!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you outside." The Pope put down the sauce, turned around and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lily immediately pulled out some hair from her body and secretly put a few short words of help on the table.
Then he lifted the plate hard to cover everything. As soon as the waiter collected the plates, he would be able to see them.
"I'm full!!" Lily shouted to the outside of the door after she was ready.
Hearing Lily's words, Ledger walked in from outside. He first sat down and stuffed all the shrimp shells and the shrimp meat left by Lily on the plate into his mouth. Then he picked up the plate and gently poured the hair underneath into his mouth.
"God, now that we're full, let's go." Ledger took the crying Lily into his sleeves and walked out of the box.
On the busy street, Lily kept thinking about how to escape again. At this moment, when she saw a rat standing on the bald head, her eyes suddenly lit up. It was the rat that was scattered to help other exploration ships! !
But just as Lily was about to shout, the Pope's hand reached out and covered her mouth. No matter how hard Lily bit her mouth with her tiny front teeth, it did not move at all.
After lowering his head and quickly avoiding a group of patrols, the Pope ran behind a brothel and then released Lily's mouth. "I told you, this method doesn't work. You don't have to waste any more time."
"Hmph! Don't be so complacent! Mr. Charles will definitely come to save me!!" Lily said indignantly.
"Charles?" The Pope frowned slightly. "Do you really think he cares about you as much as I do? To him, you are just a tool."
"No! He likes me! We kissed before! He really cares about me! You can't compare to Mr. Charles! You just treat me as a vessel for the God of Light!!"
Ledger shook his head gently, "No, the God of Light is in you, and your body was also created by the God of Light. You are the God of Light!"
"I'm not the God of Light!! I'm Lily! Don't lie to yourself! Your God of Light is dead!" Lily's childish but firm voice made the Pope panic a little, but he immediately restrained himself.
"No! You are the God of Light! The God of Light will not die!! Your light will shine again!!"
After the Pope finished speaking, he did not say anything else to the other party, and walked out from the back of the brothel with Lily. He walked very quickly this time, as if he was avoiding something.
When she saw the airport built next to the huge pit, Lily realized that this city was the Giant Pit Fortress, and they were really about to go down.
The security here is very strict. Everyone who boards the airship must have their identity verified, and it is checked multiple times. Not only is there a photo printed on it, but they also have to enter the huge steam machine next to it to identify their authenticity.
For example, in the current situation, if he forced his way in, they certainly couldn't stop him. But if they really did that, when he reached the island below the pit, the entire island might have become a big trap.
Just as he was thinking about how to get down, Ledger suddenly saw an airship flying out of the huge pit in the distance and landing in the wide airport. A man just got out of it, and a group of people quickly surrounded him.
Although he was a little fatter, Lily still recognized the man. He was James, the former chief engineer of the Narwhal.
"Well, it seems that this young man has a very high status here. In that case, it will be him." After Ledger finished speaking, he raised his foot and silently followed James.
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to him!" Lily felt something was wrong when she saw Ledger's eyes, and she couldn't help but start to panic.
"Nothing, just finding a way to get down." The Pope's words made Lily even more worried.
"I'm telling you! You are not allowed to hurt James!! He is Mr. Charles' subordinate!!"
But after hearing Lily's words, the Pope's speed did not slow down but became faster and faster. "Haha, isn't that better?"
"Please don't hurt him! He is my friend too! He is my best friend! I beg you!" Lily's voice seemed to be crying.
"Please! Please let him go. As long as you don't do anything to him, I will listen to you from now on, okay? I will never run away again. I will stay by your side obediently."
When Ledger heard what Lily said, he slowly slowed down his pace.
"Well, there is more than one way to reach the Earthsea. I can just change one. But please keep your word and stay by my side. Don't run around anymore."
"Oh" The mouse ears drooped slightly, and a bitter expression appeared on Lily's face.
Ledger turned around and looked at the huge pit in the distance. There were many solutions, and it would be best to find one with the least impact.
Before I establish my own power, it would be best for me, who am alone, not to come into conflict with Charles's power.
Just as he was thinking this, a tall Hikk man swaggered over to him, and just as he passed by Ledger, a black backpack fell out of his sleeve and was thrown directly at Ledger.
Ledger looked at the package in his hand and looked at the tall figure that was gradually moving away in confusion.
"Huh? Where did the thing in your hand come from? Why wasn't it there just now?" Lily asked puzzledly after coming back to her senses.
Ledger took the bag to a corner, unzipped it and found a shriveled human skin inside with a few pieces of red paper next to the skin.
He remembered what this paper was. Those people on the airship just now were holding these things in their hands. With these things, they could easily reach the Earth Sea from the surface.
