"What else do you want?"
The maze has been deployed. Although this power cannot be maintained for too long, it is enough for Shade to gain the upper hand.
He looked across the table at the delicacies on the table and the snow in the sky, and at the fishman captain across the table. He wanted more:
"I want to make a few fair bets with you. Each bet is one, and the cards are compared. In the first bet, I want to bet on how to remove the Mermaid Song curse on the lady next to me."
He straightened the cards on the table again. The falling snowflakes fell on the cards, but they could not leave any traces. The curse on Miss Princess and the power of the pirate ship came from the same source. The other party must know something.
"Okay! I'm going to bet on you leaving!"
On both sides of this long table placed on the snowy street, the situation was completely different from before. The captain reached out to draw the cards in front of him, this time it was all about luck:
"I am Sun 10."
Xia De did not take any action. Instead, a barefoot little girl carrying a basket appeared on his left. She wanted to draw the cards, but because she was not tall enough, she could not touch the cards even on tiptoe.
With a slightly humiliated expression on his face, he walked to the right side of Shade and patted Miss Princess. The latter's eyes widened, and then she picked up the girl in a trance.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is completely unable to comprehend the current situation.
"First wish, flower 13."
Xia De said, and the girl in his arms drew the first card, which was indeed Flower 13.
"The answer is the Sea Return Ritual. When the red waves hit, prevent her from entering the ocean. When the ocean returns to normal, regardless of whether the ritual was successfully performed, the curse on the mark will be lifted!"
"In the second round, I'll bet your ten powerful coins."
Xia De's behavior is actually blackmail, so he has to grasp the other party's acceptance level.
The captain took a deep breath, and anger could almost be seen on his swollen face. His voice was low and hoarse, but he was not the one who had the upper hand now:
"I bet you leave."
His thick fingers pressed down on the cards in front of him:
"Flower 13."
The girl held by Miss Princess reached out to touch the cards again, and Shade on the golden chair said softly:
"Second wish, Queen."
The girl turned over the cards and it was the queen.
Without much thought, the captain threw the tattered drawstring bag high over, landing next to Shad's hand and making a dull sound on the white tablecloth.
"My third wish is, I want to know why you chose to rob the cruise ship I was on!"
This is a question that has always troubled Xia De. He doesn't believe that his luck is so bad. He is not the chosen one.
"The third round's bet, you guys have to leave!"
Both parties draw cards at the same time.
The captain held the cards between his fingers and showed them to Shade:
"queen!"
"The third wish is, King!"
The girl held by Miss Princess turned over the third card, which was the King.
"There is no reason. If you must have a reason, then please believe in fate!"
This was an answer that Shade did not expect.
"The bet for the fourth round is that all the people you robbed this time leave!"
"I want you all to leave! King!"
The largest card among the 54 cards is the figure of the fishman captain swimming in the deep sea.
"My fourth wish is that the girl next to me is doing well."
The power of the puzzle was trying to restore Miss Princess's spirit and expel the influence of the beans. The girl he was holding turned over the last card with great interest. Because there was no blessing from the puzzle this time, the answer this time was completely random.
Star 1.
"I lost. According to the bet, we have to leave."
He grabbed the cloth bag containing ten coins and stood up, the golden scars on his body glowing. The powerful force of the maze was about to wane, and the flames at the end ignited the picture of the falling snow at night.
At this moment, the life ring behind him suddenly spun rapidly in the steam that gushed out from unknown reasons, and the black iron soul was enriched and finally condensed into a new power. He unfolded the table of the blood feast, and the power of everything on the table was extracted by him.
The power of these undead pirates is equal to the power of this ship. Excessive contact with the relics has given Shade a whole new power.
Greedy people will pay the price. Pirates who galloped through the deep sea eventually encountered more powerful robbers. This time, it's your own story.
The relic - the fishbone pirate ship, gives you a whole new power.
Outsider, you have inscribed the Dark Iron Profane Rune of Greed.
This is probably the only one of Shade's four spiritual runes that is truly not related to God.
"Next time..."
The afterglow of divinity almost dyed the eyes golden, and the movement of the body left golden sparks in the air on the blood-red hem.
He looked at the pirate across the table, asking him to say something. The captain also looked at him fiercely:
"According to the rules of this ship, as long as you don't provoke us, the scarlet servants, the spiral hunters, and the fishbone ship galloping in the eye of the storm will never rob you again!"
The captain was yelling loudly, venting his dissatisfaction and fear. The rolling flames burned, the snowy night disappeared in the firelight, and the cabin returned to its original appearance.
Shade immediately grabbed Miss Princess's hand, who was still immersed in the feeling of loss when the girl disappeared in her arms. An inexplicable force made their bodies float upwards, the surrounding environment changed dramatically, the space was shaking, and they left here.
The cabin returned to its original appearance. The captain, who now looked like a fishman, immediately stood up and shouted orders to the listless evil ghost sailors:
“Go!”
(Mi Mia is running...)
“Go!”
When Xia De, tortured by hunger, opened his eyes, he saw the deepest and most charming night sky above him. The last few snowflakes fell from the sky, and the cool feeling made Xia De sober up a little.
He was lying on the deck at the moment, and someone was pulling him.
After struggling to get up, he saw that it was Miss Princess. They were now on the edge of the deck of the banquet cruise ship, and everything around them had completely returned to normal. The night sea breeze blew in from afar, warm and humid.
The pirate ship had disappeared, but under the deep night sky, wisps of black air penetrated into the bodies of every awake person. Even Shade and Miss Princess were no exception, and the voice in their ears immediately gave a reminder:
Even if you leave the ship alive, you will be cursed. The power of the curse is very similar to the curse that your companions were originally infected with.
"Everyone here now is infected with the Mermaid Song Curse, right?"
You don't have it. This kind of curse that entangles with the soul has no effect on you. If it is a curse targeting the body, you should be worried.
The guests on the deck were waking up. The awakened ring sorcerers jumped off the ship as soon as they noticed the curse. Because in the distance, several warships flying the flag of the Kingdom of Draerion were approaching, and the golden aura unique to divine magic was flashing on the ship. The Orthodox Church of the Coldwater Port Diocese was coming.
Considering that the accident happened in the sea outside the port, their speed was really fast.
“Go!”
Miss Princess said, stepped hard on the deck, and forcibly removed a piece of wood from the deck, then pulled Shade and jumped directly into the sea. At the last moment before leaving the deck, Shade saw ordinary people on the deck, shouting and laughing crazily. Most people died directly in the ship located in the strange sea, and most of the people who were rescued had gone crazy.
The two fell into the water, and Shade's underwater breathing spell was activated immediately. But Miss Princess didn't seem to have the ability to move in the water. Although she could swim, she still hugged Shade nervously when she fell into the sea. When she emerged from the sea, her long red hair stuck to her face. She grabbed the wooden board and said in embarrassment:
"Swim eastward, there will be someone there to pick us up. I sent someone to follow the cruise ship just to prepare for this situation."
Although Her Royal Highness is keen on adventure today, it is impossible for her not to care about her own safety.
The current location was very far from the port of Coldwater Harbor. If Xia De took Miss Princess back with him, it would probably take several days for them to return to Coldwater Harbor. Xia De was relieved to hear that she had made preparations.
"Shad, never tell stories on the boat again!"
She nonchalantly called out Xia De's pseudonym, which was considered as tacitly admitting her identity. Her red hair was wet and stuck to her face, and her green eyes looked at Xia De:
"Look, just like the ending of your story, we really fell into the sea and clung to the wooden planks to survive."
Because the story of the little match girl corresponds to four wishes, Shad, in addition to the advantages of being the master of the maze, also has the power of four wishes. This is the characteristic of his maze. Miss Princess seems to have recovered well from the last wish and can even make jokes at this moment.
"Oh, Miss Princess, please hold this in your mouth and shut your mouth, we are about to leave."
Shade took out the leaf from the waterlogged pocket watch and asked the red-haired girl to hold it in her mouth. Swimming in the sea for a long time would cause terrible hypothermia. Shade had a strong affinity for exercising in water because he could breathe underwater, but Miss Princess could not.
"You still call me Miss Princess?"
The red-haired girl was dragged forward by Shadra, and her words were a little unclear because of the leaves in her mouth. On the dark sea, they were just like the other ring sorcerers who jumped off the ship, and were completely inconspicuous.
"I want to wait until today's journey is over and hear from you personally about your identity."
The stranger whispered, and then dived into the sea. Or because of the spell, when his whole body enters the water, his swimming ability will be significantly enhanced.
In this way, Miss Princess held onto the plank, and Shade took care of her, and the two quickly left the direction of the cruise ship. With the departure of the pirate ship, the water surface became much calmer. They did not dare to stop at all, and moved quickly towards the east.
Twenty minutes later, they saw a small boat parked on the sea in the distance. Miss Princess, who still hadn't fully recovered, gestured, and Shad knew it was one of his own, so he pulled her toward the boat.
