Chapter 2367 Water of Price
The moon is dim, the stars are bright, the yellow sand is quiet, it was a peaceful night, but the Fuxing was lifeless. In the stable, two sand thieves were sleeping here. The Snow White Pegasus was leaning weakly in the corner. Someone was whispering in the corridor. Someone was hiding aside and secretly unscrewing the pendant around his neck and drinking something.
On the dilapidated rear deck of the airship, the evil ghost leaned against the stern guardrail, watching the stars in the sky as his thoughts wandered, and he was in a daze. Someone came behind him, but he did not react.
“Tell me your conditions, there’s no need to waste any more time.” Bing Zhixie stepped forward, while Syrio leaned against the hatch and watched.
The evil ghost did not look back, looked at the starry sky and said: "You think that I am threatening the water source to benefit from you. It is not right to think so. Things that are valuable to you, are not right. To me, it makes no sense.”
"Speak more clearly."
The evil ghost said: "I will go to such a dangerous place to help Redrick slay the dragon. To be precise, I will help Redrick slay the dragon. Do you believe it?"
“I don’t know who you are, but you didn’t take any action during the battle between Redrick and Cang Ye.”
“ It’s not that I don’t want to take action, it’s just that I don’t have a chance.” The evil ghost said, “I am an old acquaintance with Redrick’s father, the old leader of the Sun Dancers. His family lives in seclusion in the Sea of Forgotten Desert. I am here to kill the dragon. I helped him in this matter because I wanted to borrow his power as a sun dancer in exchange for him helping me.”
“That’s it.”
"But now that he is missing, my plan has failed. So..." The evil ghost turned around and said: "I want to use water to coerce the people on the airship. To be precise, I asked you, Celeste, to do two things for me. "
"Should I thank you for your compliments and compare me to the leader of the Sun Dancer?" Bing Zhixie looked at him.
The evil ghost said: "On this boat, you are the most powerful, and I only ask the most powerful people to do things."
"What is it, tell me and let me hear it. "
The evil ghost asked: "You have been to many places, have you ever been to the easternmost and southernmost subcontinent of the main continent? "
"I have been to the east of the continent, but not in the subcontinent."
The evil ghost said: "I want you to find someone and something for me. The thing is a treasure called 'The Destruction of Helsiam'. A certain family in the eastern part of the continent has this object. Her name is Fairbank Sera. She probably lives in the subcontinent or the south of the main continent."
Bingzhixie asked: "Why don't you find this person and thing yourself?"
"Look at me like this." Xiegui had many disgusting sarcomas on his back and neck. He took off the lining of his outer armor against the guardrail, revealing his body under the clothes: "Look at my body again."
Bing Zhixie was slightly startled.
The body of the evil ghost was like a moldy mummy. The skin was dark and gray, and it was covered with bones. It looked like a skeleton. Its abdomen was deflated. It was hard to say whether there were any internal organs inside.
"Are you cursed?"
"It's a curse." Evil Ghost closed his clothes and smiled gloomily: "Is it scary? Seeing this, you know the origin of my nickname Evil Ghost Come on. Only the dry desert can suppress the curse in my body. Once I leave this environment, moisture and mold will The bacteria will continue to grow in my body until it devours me."
Bing Zhixie frowned: "Well, this kind of curse and this method are a bit like..." He asked hurriedly: " Who gave you this curse?”
“It’s a woman”
Bingzhixie's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be..."
The evil ghost said: "That's the woman I'm looking for, Fairbank Sera."
Bingzhixie's heart He relaxed and felt a little lost: "Are you looking for this person or thing to solve the curse on you and take revenge?"
“You don’t need to know so much, you just need to find me the things, then find the person I’m looking for, and tell her that I’m still waiting in the desert, waiting for her to come back.”
"I can agree to these requests of yours, is there a time limit?"
The evil ghost thought for a while and stretched out three fingers: "Three years, you must complete these two things for me in three years." "Okay, then, what mortgage do I need, and you will tell me how to get water."
“Haha "The evil ghost said with a smile: "I want that little girl, Alice, to keep her here as a pledge. Within three years, I will let her go."
, Iris, who was sleeping on the ground, opened her eyes a little.
Bing Zhixie flatly refused: "No."
"I can't trust you without her as pledge."
"I can pledge some precious treasures to you..."
The evil ghost interrupted him: "I don't need any treasures. Your treasure has no meaning to me."
"Then there is no room for discussion."
"You want to die of thirst here?"
Bing Zhixie turned around and said, "I won't die here, including Alice. Others may die of thirst, but... I don't care." He walked towards the cabin.
"It seems that you have hidden some water." Seeing that he was about to go back to the cabin, the evil ghost stopped him: "Wait a minute. What treasure can you give me?"
< br>Bing Zhixie flipped his left hand, and the all-seeing eye slowly appeared in the fluctuating space, floating on his palm, and he threw it behind him: "This is from You can judge the value of the treasure taken out from the Sand Temple by yourself."
The evil ghost took a moment to look at it and said: "Such a precious thing is indeed not something that can be easily discarded. I will keep it for you for the time being. ”
“Tell me how to get water”
"Wait a minute." The evil ghost said: "If you want my water to save all the people in the boat, then they should also pay the price. I want to take a precious thing from each of them. This is fair, right?"< br>
"That's your business, I'm just waiting for my water." Bing Zhixie said and entered the cabin.
The evil ghost smiled and curled his lips.
In the middle of the night, everyone was paying their price on the deck. Shakhan handed over the Sinking Knife, Syrio handed over the Stone of Loa, and Alice also handed over a piece of jewelry she had given her. The treasure obtained from the princess's tomb.
Ye Mingzhu’s pterosaur and rhinoceros were unwilling to hand over their precious possessions, and suddenly got into trouble with other companions. They fought for dozens of rounds in the desert. The five of them teamed up and lost. The rhinoceros was injured and the wing Long was seriously injured, and the other three were each injured.
The evil ghost threw the badly injured pterosaur back to the airship, followed him up and said to the Demonic Red Pearl Quel'Sarah: "Take care of your men. I won't kill anyone this time. This is to give you Ye Mingzhu some face, but I still want to You have to pay double the price for changing the water."
The pterodactyl turned over and said angrily: "Quel'Sala, why don't you take action? We will definitely defeat him!"
Quelsara licked his dry lips: "You can get water if you defeat him?"
The pterodactyl refused: "You can force him to hand over the water. "
Quel'Thala was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to the evil ghost: "If they attack you, they will pay double the price, and I will only pay one share."
The evil ghost laughed: "Interesting, good."
