Chapter 79 2.74 The Tenth Waiter: Thoughts
Safir's thoughts seemed to be submerged in the sea.

In the ocean, I can't find any clues, and the surrounding area is full of darkness. Those clues are like fish swimming around me, but they are as fragmented and scattered as fog, and cannot be connected together.

From time to time, the sound of guards making jokes came from outside the cell.

The cell that Safir and the others stayed in seemed to be specially used to detain intruders like them, and it was separated from other places, and they didn't know where they were in the small town of Kearney for the time being.

Since someone was guarding outside, Safire and Wilson couldn't review the matter loudly.

The little monk Zipan seemed to have fallen asleep, and Mandela also fell asleep on his side.

Safir picked up a small dead branch in the corner, and began to communicate with Wilson using the sand in the cell.

Everything, start from the beginning of things.

The man they first met, the man who brought them here, told them to fight the dragon on the day the ceremony began.

After that, a series of things happened. They entered the underground palace by mistake and were imprisoned here.

Wei: But that's okay, if you know how to get out, then we don't need to hide now, and we have food and shelter.I didn't expect to meet someone like the leader of the Kearney people by mistake. What did you think at that time?

S: I really didn't think too much about it, but I actually saw that her costume was very strange, so I tried it out.At that time, the person who brought us in kept talking about the ceremony, and then I saw that the girl's costume seemed to be specialized in sacrifices.

Wei: That's true. I didn't see the face from that angle at that time.After that, we just let the man out according to the original plan. I don't know what will happen on the day of the sacrifice.

S: I am now very concerned about the Dragon Ball we saw at that time.

Wei: It feels as if we have seen the secrets of the Kearney family. It seems that we may have to fight against these Kearneys in order to escape, and at the same time fight the evil dragon.

S: You said before that Dragon Ball gave you a very strange feeling, what kind of feeling is that.

Wei: Zipan said at the time that the keel was a sacred object, but the bead I felt was extremely evil, and it was not what it should be at all.Moreover, I vaguely felt the existence of three forces in the dragon ball.

S: Three forces?Wait... I seem to think of something.At that time we were on the bottom of the sea, a dragon horn that turned into a pirate ship, a tank group of women who were born on the same day every 18 years, and a dragon ball.

Wei: I have no idea yet. The dragon ball should belong to the dragon. How could the dragon’s belongings be here in Kearney, and we couldn’t find any trace of the dragon no matter how hard we searched.Is it true that dragons will appear during the ceremony, as the person who brought us in said?

Thinking of this, Wilson suddenly realized something, and felt that some truth was being pulled out of the water little by little during the replay of the two.

V: If the man who brought us here is telling the truth, then that ritual is actually for summoning dragons!Ah, now I understand, then this makes sense, why the Kearney people deliberately blocked the town at this time.But... why is the woman in that temple there? Why is a girl used in a dragon summoning ceremony?
S: That's what I think of.All things have their own pursuits, and dragons are no exception, so the ritual to summon a dragon must use what the dragon desires the most.

Wei: This is easy to understand. There is no lecherous man in the world, and this dragon is also a lecherous dragon.Moreover, it is said that whether it is a god or a demon, it is more or less stained with the memory of the owner. It is possible that the people of Kearney heard the longing of the dragon through the dragon's horn, so they donate one year every 18 years. and we also saw the word “囍” on the plaque, but, alas, it seems wrong, if the dragon’s wish is really that simple, maybe they don’t have to hold this ceremony all the time.

S: Yes, one key point is why we must choose a woman with the date of that month... We may not be able to figure this out for the time being, and my thoughts go back to Dragon Ball. If you say you feel three forces, then it is certain that the , There is a power that is the dragon's own divine power, and there is a power that you say is evil.And according to my observation, I can see that the formations used here are not righteous. According to the classification I read in Zipan's book at that time, these formations belong to the kind of demons.

Wei: Then there is the last remaining power, whose is it?
S: You said, is it possible that Dragon Ball is not just about dragons?
Wei: It's hard for me to say, but I think it should be the dragon's own thing. There is still a power. I have repeatedly confirmed that it does exist.

Sa: According to our speculation at the beginning, that formation exists specifically for summoning dragons, but none of the formations in the book I read requires the use of irrelevant things.For example, the spirit shifting array requires the handover and the token that holds the deep bond between the two. There are three powers, one is magic power, which comes from the summoner, then the remaining two powers must come from the summoned power. .

V: So besides the dragon, who else is being summoned?

S: I think it is very likely to be that woman.

Wei: An ordinary human woman?No, I don't think it's possible.But what are you thinking about now? Now that the big sign is that there will be dragons appearing, is it possible that we are going back to the bottom of the sea to destroy other people's rituals?Wait until they summon the dragon.Eh, by the way, what I've always cared about now is the wish of the witch, a problem that can't be solved by a person who looks like a high-ranking person or a girl who looks so powerful, I don't think his brother will simply give birth to a child The disease is so simple... Tell me, can we really cure him? What if he figured it out and pulled us over to treat his brother's illness?

S: If she really believed it, then she must have told us directly just now, which means that she is still in the stage of half-belief, and she said that she will deal with us after the ceremony.

V: After the ceremony?Oh, if I were her, maybe I wouldn't have to wait that long.

S: She deliberately let us hear the word "ceremony".

Wei: Huh? !But that's right, it's a big family secret like this, and outsiders like us saw the Dragon Ball, so it's guaranteed to be tight-lipped, and it's impossible to say anything more.So, what is this priestess implying when she deliberately told us about the ceremony?
S: Except for her brother, I really can't think of anything else.

V: Oh, me too.

When the topic came to this point, Safire wiped away the mud and sand written in front of his eyes, and put the small wooden stick in his hand aside, saying that there was nothing to talk about.

The guard of the prison on the side glanced inside and shouted: "Hey, what is that kid inside, what are you doing there? His hands haven't stopped."

It refers to Safir who has ashes in his little hands.

"Little friend, I like to play with mud." Wilson said with a suppressed smile.

"What on earth are you doing here? You don't look very big, how did you get here?" The guard is also a relatively enlightened old man.

Just in time for the cliché, Wilson said, "Well, do you know who the witch's brother is? We're actually here to find him."

"Master Chief Executive? Why are you looking for Lord Tolan?"

Her brother is the most distinguished chief executive among the Kearney people? !

Wilson was almost surprised by the news, and Safire's eyes changed after seeing Wilson's expression at this moment.

"Ahem, it is said that your lord is unwell, and we are here to help him heal." Wilson took advantage of the opportunity to throw out this topic.

"Healing? Healing what? If this is the case, why are you arrested? And it is impossible for us to come to outsiders at this time! Our miko-sama can cure diseases, why should we invite outsiders? Are you kidding? ?"

After a series of questions, Wilson was a little bit numb and was thinking about how to reply when another guard hurriedly scolded: "What are you talking about, you stinky bastard!"

"And you guys squatting in the prison, be honest, don't try to play any tricks!"

The cursing and seemingly competent guard finished training Wilson and the others, and turned his head to lecture his brother, "Is it time for you to talk too much? You should be careful, this Miko-sama who came here quickly could be wrong? "

"Yes, brother is right. I won't talk too much." The elder guard who seemed enlightened finished speaking and looked back at Wilson and the others. He felt that they were all older children, about the same age as his own son. It is inevitable to have sympathy, but he just sighed.

The cell became quiet, and it was inappropriate to say that it was particularly quiet, as well as the sound of birdsong, mice calling, and sleeping breathing at night.

Zipan was still sleeping deeply. It seems that in the past few days, he went to the sea and went to the ground and was imprisoned. He was very tired after tossing about a lot of things that he has never experienced. .

At this moment, Wilson suddenly wanted to be like the Hibiscus girl in his impression, light a cigarette and smoke, and experience the feelings of the Hibiscus girl at that time, although Wilson didn't know how to smoke yet, and he hated the smell of tobacco a long time ago .

But now it seems to just feel nostalgic.

Safir lay down on the haystack. At the beginning, he felt confused in the sea. After resuming the game with Wilson, he got out of it a little bit, as if floating on the sea, watching The sky dotted with morning stars lay dangling on the sea itself, but the bright starlight shining through the fog in the sky seemed so far away.

There still seems to be some distance from the truth.

Only by returning the property to its original owner can the situation be broken.

Safir kept thinking about this sentence in his mind, return to the original owner.

Who is the original owner?

Then returning to the original owner, why can the situation be broken?

If you want to return to the original owner, isn't the original owner of the dragon ball the dragon who will be summoned?Isn't the original owner already dead?

And... what is the identity of that mysterious and weird woman?
