Chapter 19 2.14 The Tenth Waiter: The Sea
Thousands of years ago, a fallen golden bead was picked up by a boy dressed in ramie.

He twisted the bead close to his eyes, and the golden light jumped inside, as if it contained infinite magic power, attracting him.

The boy sniffed and licked.

Swallow the golden pearl into his stomach in one gulp.

【Town of Kearney】

years ago.

Thetis seemed to be in a dream. She dreamed that she was on the shore of the surging and roaring sea, and the fierce sea wind was about to overturn her whole body.

She leaned against the reef, holding the cold and rough reef with one hand, and shielding the wind in front of her with the other hand, squinting her eyes hard.

Ahead, something seemed to be calling her.

Amidst the frenzied tsunami sound, the huge howling sound like thunder seemed to shake the sky apart.

The sky was dark, and the heavy dark clouds in the distance were accompanied by thunder and sometimes mixed with golden light. The thick sea water formed a huge vortex, and quickly spun to form a shocking water column that hit the sky.

She was on the shore not far away.

Thetis spread her fingers with difficulty, and in her sight appeared the incomplete horn bone that was as strong as a hill.

When she saw the whole picture carefully, Thetis almost exclaimed.

There unexpectedly appeared a giant dragon that was said to be able to fly through the clouds and stir up the clouds and waters of the world!
It's just that this dragon is not as heroic and mighty as it is in mythology. Instead, it looks a little embarrassed. Its resolute scales are dull, and there are shocking scars all over its body. These scars are several times wider than her whole body. densely packed, bloody.

Like a dying dragon, he spat out a mouthful of dragon's breath in pain, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at her with a complicated expression.

Thetis stared at those cloudy and bloodshot eyes.

The two looked at each other wordlessly.

It seems that she has gone through thousands of years and experienced countless entanglements related to this dragon.

It's all about affectionate love.

"dragon--"

Thetis called him painfully in the midst of the storm.

The giant dragon seemed to be awakened violently from a deep sleep by these words, accompanied by a deafening scream, and the shaking of flying sand and rocks, flying down the beach with thick and shocking blood.

The dragon body disappeared into the dark sky.

Torrential rain poured down.

Thetis, who was left alone and lost her mind, stood blankly on the precarious reef.

She also didn't understand why she was so sad because of the dragon's departure.

Just yelling that word over and over at the top of my lungs:
"dragon--"

"dragon--"

Please also tell me, what kind of hardships do I have to go through before I can be with you beyond life and death? !
"dragon--!!

Eminem once said.

Every 18 years, the clan will elect a girl who has reached the age of [-] to be the bride of the dragon, so as to bless the clansmen living by the sea with good weather and peace.

She happened to be born the year the Dragon Bride's girl was thrown into the sea last time, so she took over that girl's name.

Thetis.

This name is said to have existed a long time ago.

It's Shenlong's request.

He said he only married girls with that name.

When she was a child, Thetis was not happy when she learned that she was going to be the bride of Shenlong and dedicated to Shenlong. Why was she destined to live only because she was born in that year!

Until she dreamed of the real dragon full of frightening injuries in the storm and waves that night, different emotions began to surge deep in her heart.

She completely overturned her previous thoughts and decided.

This is her destined husband.

In order to see him again, it doesn't matter if you die.

【Outside Paradise City】

The frightening cry of the whistle eagle pierced the sky.

The eyes of the three of Wilson were attracted by the gust of wind.

I saw the golden bead was blown by a gust of wind into the finger of the mitten bracelet inlaid with various diamonds and pearls.

When I came back to my senses, the weird woman named Chen Fortune Teller had disappeared without a trace.

It seemed that the strange woman said something before she left, but Mandela and Wilson couldn't hear it clearly, only Safir heard it clearly and remembered it deeply in her mind. '

The woman wearing a veil and a green dress shouted sharply: "What is your relationship with that thief?!"

Wilson recognized who these people were, and with an innocent face, he echoed: "Ah, I saw her stealing from you, and asked her to return it to you."

After finishing speaking, I wondered what kind of fortune-teller I would call that woman who would be less in touch with in the future. I didn't expect that this person not only bluffed and deceived, but also stole things.And the things that are stolen are not ordinary people's things.

"That's good!" After taking back the golden bead, Aiolus didn't care too much, just like when she appeared with a gust of wind, when she left it was also a gust of breeze.

Safir regained his composure and was a little curious, "They are..."

"That attire looks like someone from Loulan. She seems to have mentioned the princess. It should be the team that sent the princess to heaven to pay homage." Wilson guessed that the woman named Chen fortune-telling took out the golden bead to sell them, so I didn't pay much attention to Chen Fortune's whereabouts, pointed to the distance, and said to Safir, "Did you see the gate that the team entered? The first time you enter Paradise City, you need to register. You have to register at the small window next to the gate. .

, we lined up behind them before entering Paradise City. "

After a moment of silence, Safir still asked the doubts in his heart. "Why are you able to manipulate gravel."

The answer to this question was clear to Mandela, but it was not his turn to answer this question, nor did he need to answer it, so he just watched from the sidelines.

Wilson's voice dropped.

"Because..." The sting in his heart became more and more intense, the corners of his mouth drooped, he didn't really want to explain, he just smiled wryly, "I don't really know what to say about this."

Wilson felt the yellow sand all over the sky, and there was not a grain of sand that did not respond to him, and there was not a single grain that did not represent Hibiscus' sincerity and concern.

Some hurts take time to heal, and some things have to wait for a while before they can be brought up again, or even not mentioned is the best.

Safir saw Wilson's embarrassment, so he changed the subject, pointing at the white pigeons that were flying in and out of Paradise City, "Is this where the letter I received came from?"

Wilson nodded, "Yes. If these white pigeons are attacked midway, or cannot reach the target's hands in an unexpected situation, they will be automatically turned into powder, and the information will be carried by another white pigeon."

Mandela kept silent all the way. In fact, when he was in the forest in the eastern suburbs, he had already planned to see Wilson again, so he would look for an opportunity to kill Wilson, and then take the opportunity to break through when Safir was sad and helpless. Safir's psychological defense, so as to better control Safir.

Just judging from the current situation.Wilson no longer only has the unconfrontable ability of searching, but also has the tricky ability of sandstorm with war attributes. It may not be so easy to find Wilson in the future.

Wilson himself is not a fragile person, and it can even be said that Wilson's psychological defense is impeccable.

Mandela could not find Wilson's deepest desire.

This person seems to be living for the sake of living. According to observation, Wilson cannot be taken down from the perspective of force and psychology for the time being.

Then we can only wait until the day when there is a breakthrough.

Mandela was not an impatient devil.

He has always been smart and patient.

While Mandela was wary of Wilson, Wilson was also wary of Mandela.

For a person who has been a mercenary since he was a child, Wilson would learn about the employment policy of this place and the employment list related to employment wherever he went.

Perhaps it was because the information transmission in the border area where they were staying was not so fast, so he didn't know what the employment list with the largest reward in the world was. It wasn't until after entering Paradise City for the first time that Wilson saw the list .

High rewards for red-eyed monsters.

According to the content of the employment list, Wilson quickly connected Mandela with the monster who was captured with a high reward, and more or less understood the look in Hibiscus' eyes at that time.

Wilson knew that Mandela did not pose a threat to Safir for the time being, but it did not mean that Mandela's existence would not cause trouble.

As the head of the world's top most wanted criminals, it is impossible not to bring trouble, not only trouble, but considerable trouble.

Wilson wouldn't try to capture Mandela in exchange for a bounty. First, he knew he was not capable of that, and second, Safir would definitely not agree with him.

However, Mandela's identity must be told to Safir, so that Safir must be mentally prepared and make judgments and choices.

According to the conditions for entering Paradise City, as long as Wilson remits money to Safir's account, Safir will definitely be able to enter Paradise City, and then Mandela can be isolated from Paradise City under the pretext that he does not have so much money left.

They will have a chance to get rid of the trouble of Mandela.

Wilson looked at Mandela.

Mandela happened to be watching Wilson too.

The two were secretly plotting against each other.

【Paradise City-Eye of Heaven】

A woman in a snow-white uniform and a rabbit-shaped mask had carrier pigeons on her white gloves. She stood upright and said to the person sitting beside her, "It seems that I still care about the ambergris in Kearney Town."

The brooch on the woman's chest is in the shape of an eye of heaven, with four words in gold in the center: Anguisola.

The person sitting spoke in a slightly deep mezzo-soprano, "No problem. I can roughly guess his intentions."

For a long time, Yi's pursuit of longevity and health has not been a secret, and Gaia is very clear that Yi has always been in close contact with an elder of the Bounty Alliance for this goal.

"Okay, then throw this into the task pool." Anguisola opened the interface in front of him to operate.

With a loud eagle cry, a vigorous eagle circled into the Eye of Heaven, hovered for a moment and then stopped on Anguisola's shoulder.

Anguisola gently touched Goshawk's head.

The goshawk spread its strong wings and mumbled something. Anguisola spoke with the sharp-eyed goshawk after a moment of incomprehensible words.

"found it."

"Have you come here already?"

"Yes, I have already registered, and I have also applied for a Paradise City mercenary license, and now I am waiting for the task assignment."

"How many people around him?"

"Including him as two people. There is one more special person."

"Ah~ I guessed it. Interesting, these two people actually came together. Did they both apply for a license?"

"Correct."

"Turn the task pool to me. I'll arrange it."

"it is good."

Anguisola is the second waiter in Paradise City. Her ability is a materializer, and she can turn the things she draws into real objects, but this is not the reason why she likes to draw.

She really likes to draw because the process of drawing makes her truly feel alive.

All because of love, nothing more.

Then why did she willingly become a servant of Paradise City and work so loyally for Gaia, because she wanted a place where she could create with peace of mind and let her works be known to the world.

With Gaia, you can realize your ideals.

Anguisola was born blind, she has never seen the world with her own eyes, but since using the ability of the creature, she began to understand the world from the dialogues of the creatures she drew, and see with the eyes of the creature to a wider world.

And Gaia is a good person, so she doesn't mind her ability to serve Paradise City.
