Chapter 43 2.38 The Tenth Waiter: By the Sea
When Wuming took Thetis to escape, the town hadn't been sealed off yet. At this moment, after secretly observing that there were more people patrolling with guns than usual, Wuming understood that the town had already started to be locked down.

Relying on years of experience living in the small town of Kearney, Wuming took advantage of his familiarity with the land to lead Safir and the others groping forward bit by bit, hiding and hiding.

Finally, a group of people came to a hidden reef near the sea. The reefs on the seaside are deep trenches and shallow nests, and the cool sea breeze blows through them from time to time.

This is a place that few locals come to.

"Why did we sneak around? We came to this place." Zipan asked puzzled. The surrounding scenery was obviously far away from the town's crowds, so there was a big question mark in his heart.

Gaia, who merged into the tree, appeared and looked at it, also expressing curiosity.

"If you don't want to die, don't be discovered." Wuming said concisely.

Wilson roughly understood the meaning of Wuming, and acted as an interpreter, relaying to them, "Be careful not to be discovered."

Zipan is worthy of being Zipan, who understands all this with a unique brain circuit. They want to be silent heroes and kill the evil dragon, so they can't be discovered.

Wilson waited for the unnamed follow-up.

Nameless observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one there, he opened a piece of grass close to the cliff, and gradually revealed a black hole.

There was a gap behind the grass, and a person could almost get in by turning his body sideways.

Nameless pointed to the dark stone crevice, and looked at Wilson seriously. He knew that only Wilson could understand his own language, but he could only understand what Wilson and the others said, not speak.Wuming paused every word, and said with a serious expression, "Stay here, don't move around, don't be discovered, ten days later, a ceremony will be held here, and then, you can see the dragon."

"Then kill the dragons you see and get what you want, but if you are discovered, don't say that I brought you here."

Saying Wuming, he turned sideways and entered the cave first.

Safir and his team followed suit.What Safir and the others didn't expect was that this seemingly small stone crevice was actually very spacious.

The temperature in the cave is relatively constant, and the temperature is actually a little more comfortable than outside.

But it was dark inside.

"You guys just stay inside. I'll find some fruit. Don't make a fire here. I'll bring you cooked food when I have time and opportunity."

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, an unknown voice resounded.

The reason Wuming said that was because he really hoped in his heart that these people could defeat the evil dragon.Thetis is quite right, if they escape like this, nothing will be solved.Not only is it possible for the people they get along with day and night to suffer from floods, but even if they escape, they are likely to be caught with a high reward.Neither body nor mind can be free.Only by defeating the dragon can all this be resolved.

But there is one thing that is unknown, and that is whether there will be a dragon appearing on the day of the ceremony.If the dragon hadn't appeared, what he's doing now might be meaningless.

"When I come back, I will hit the stone three times. If I don't hit it, then pay attention, the person who came is not me."

After Wuming finished speaking, he went out. When he went out, he covered the cracks in the stone with grass. Originally, only the bright moonlight was left, but now under the cover of weeds, the weak light became scattered.In the air is the unique smell of seaside dampness and the fragrance of soil in the cave.

Several people in the stone gap also looked at each other, and after a while, they got used to the light inside.

Gaia thinks this is much more interesting than staying in that dilapidated Paradise City, and she wants to take this opportunity to stay outside for a longer time, in fact, she doesn't like the luxurious life in Paradise at all.But even if Gaia doesn't like it, no matter how unwilling, she still has to make compromises and concessions.

As Zipan said, everyone has their own difficulties.

And Anguisola's pigeon has turned into a white butterfly, flapping its wings quietly on Gaia's shoulder.

Mandela thought about the namelessness just now, thoughtfully.

"We..." Zipan asked first, "What are we going to do now..." Zipan didn't understand what Wuming said just now, but just followed the crowd into the crevice in a daze.

Zipan can sense that there is no danger nearby, huh?Didn't they come to get rid of the evil dragon? Why can't they even see the shadow of the evil dragon?

Wilson explained succinctly, "Wait for the food. Wait for the dragon. If he comes back, he'll knock the stone three times."

Zipan nodded, ah, this is understandable, leaning against the stone wall, yawning, it seems that he is a little sleepy after a day's journey.

But so happy.

Zipan was in the cave, feeling that he was having a great adventure with a group of people.

After a while, there was the sound of knocking on the stone.

One, two, three.

Then threw many fruits from the cracks in the stone.

"Remember what I said, don't be discovered by others, stay here, and wait for me to find you."

After speaking, I heard the footsteps of people hurriedly leaving.

"What's the situation now." Safire tidied up the fruits and looked at Wilson.At that time in Tianquan Temple, Safire seemed to have heard the conversation between Wilson and Rong Xiao, and heard them talking about the town of Kearney.And looking at Wilson's expressions and actions along the way, Safire, who is familiar with Wilson, can see that Wilson should know something.

Wilson spread his hands, "I don't know much."

Then start sharing information.

"The town of Kearney has a custom. It seems that after more than ten years, the town will be sealed off and a ceremony will be held to prevent any outsiders from entering."

"If some people who sneaked in are found, those who sneaked in will be executed. According to intelligence, our current time just hits the day when the town of Kearney is blocked."

Wilson turned his gaze to the moonlight and sea outside, "I don't know anything else."

While thinking about it, Safire began to review the current situation with Wilson as always, "Did that person just say that he wanted to help us find ambergris?"

"Yes."

"Then he brought us here, so did he say how to find ambergris for us?"

"It is said that if you kill the dragon, you will find ambergris."

"When did he say he'll be back?"

"Maybe I will come to deliver food recently. It is said that ten days later, there will be a ceremony here."

When Safir heard this, his heart was clear, so he didn't say anything more.

Zipan, who had closed his eyelids, listened in a daze, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he was still at a loss. It was too much brain work, so fortunately he fell asleep directly.

And those fruits were just placed in the middle, and no one moved.

Zipan was already asleep, Mandela and Gaia didn’t have to eat much, Safire and Wilson just opened their eyes and didn’t know what they were thinking.

"If you are sleepy, you can go to bed first, I will watch, and I will wake you up in the middle of the night to watch the wind."

Wilson spoke.

Safir didn't make a sound, but both of them had a tacit understanding. Safir didn't make a sound, which means he acquiesced.

Thetis left Wuming, and was arrested when she returned. She was tied up and sat in an escort cage, and was sent to the temple on the cliff.

Tolan followed and chatted with Thetis inside, "It seems that I saw that a man took you out."

Thetis was apologetic, "I heard that there is a sea of ​​flowers, and I knew I couldn't go out anymore, but I was playful, so I begged him to invite me to take a look. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

Tolan was thoughtful, "That man seems to be living in your house? Your brother? I inquired, and he doesn't seem to be from Kearney."

Thetis shook her head and lied sincerely, "No, he is from Kearney."

"I did find him at the seaside at the beginning. When I found him, I didn't know that he was a relative's child. He was dumb, and he couldn't express himself when he saw me, so he followed me all the time."

Seeing that Tolan didn't answer, Thetis continued to talk nonsense, "He is related to me by blood. Although he was not born here, he has lived in Kearney for a long time. He is from Kearney. He really regards this place as a own home."

"It was only later that I found out that his parents had died in a shipwreck, so that's why he has been living in our house."

"It's okay, I won't do anything to him."

"I'm just afraid of being misunderstood. I sincerely hope that I can marry into the sea, and it is my honor to marry into the dragon."

"None of us will tarnish your pure whiteness." Tolan said sincerely, "However, your expression is not like that of a woman who is about to marry a wishful man."

Thetis smiled bitterly, "What can I do."

"Master Chief Executive, tell me, those women before, are they smiling happily as you said at this time..."

At the end, Thetis added an additional question, "Are they all voluntary?"

Tolland was silent.

After sending the person to the temple, Tolan looked at Thetis with complicated emotions in his eyes, "Don't be afraid. This is a very short-term thing, and then wait for the marriage with peace of mind."

After finishing speaking, Thetis, who was locked in the cage, and some guards left behind with heavy steps.

Thetis looked at the back of Tolan turning away, and remembered the beautiful sea of ​​flowers, and the young man who looked at her at dusk, and said a word in her heart, forget him...forget her …
She's not sure what's on her mind, but she wants him to be happy afterwards.

Then, now she is going to accept the reality that all these things cannot be changed.

During this period of time, Wuming settled the outsider, and did not return the same way immediately. He was at the beach, gazing in the direction of the temple not far away.

Looking at the sea in the night, the ebb and flow, lonely and empty,

Wuming walked along the sea, looking for the shallow footprints of the girl left on the gravel, as if following this trace, he could see the girl walking on the fine sand again, smiling and running.

The cold sea soaked his trousers. On the white and vast sandy beach, the boy was walking aimlessly alone, and the silver ash scattered by the bright moon traced the lonely shadow of the boy.

He still seems to be thinking of the "nameless..." that she said from her mouth, and it seems that there is still warmth from her in his hands.

Wuming walked, walked, and sat next to a rock. With the rough feel of his fingertips, he touched the unevenness of the stone that Thetis used to mark. On this densely packed mark, only Two rows of vertical lines that are not crossed out.

Wuming picked up the lubricated and sharp pebbles at hand, and crossed out the last vertical line in the last row.Then continue to trace and draw something.

The boy sat for a while, then got up and left.

And on the marked reef, there is an imprint of a flower petal,
