Looking at the exquisite wooden box, the smile on Danny's face froze for 0.1 seconds. She then asked as if nothing had happened, "Does Zaro like the yellow jacket?"
"Sir likes it very much. He is very sorry that you left so quickly. I didn't treat you well!" The butler said respectfully.
"Hehe, if there's a chance to meet him again, I'll give him a three-eyed plum hat and a yellow jacket. I'll definitely let him experience an extraordinary feeling."
She waved her hand to let Whitebeard, who was about to help check the box, back off. She took the box and opened it.
Inside was a necklace, a long chain woven with fine golden threads. The golden chain was wrapped around a shiny green beetle. It was obvious that it was carved from the best jade.
"It's very beautiful. I like it very much." Danny smiled like a flower. She reached out to pick it up.
"Princess —" Whitebeard seemed to want to stop her, but he froze on the spot.
Butler No. 8 looked down and murmured, "I'm sorry."
His voice was like a mosquito, as if he didn't want others to hear him.
Danny took the green beetle in her hand and looked at it. She asked casually, "What are you sorry about?"
"Ugh …" Squires raised his head abruptly, his eyes bulging. He could not believe what he saw: the scorpion tail beast that was used to kill Dani was frozen in her hand, as if it had really turned into jade.
"You regretful guests are so long-winded. You still have to say 'I'm sorry' when you kill someone."
Danny seemed to be helpless. She shrugged and said, "It's okay if you encounter someone with bad ears and eyes. Like now, I have good ears and eyes. I can hear your voice and see your lips moving …
The famous quote of the Queers Assassin Guild, 'I'm sorry' … I'm sorry, I know it too! "
"Why is this happening?" The regretful guest almost collapsed. Did the scorpion tail beast die? It shouldn't be. He was experienced and had used similar methods to assassinate hundreds of people.
"Kalixi, he's an assassin?!" Go and Karalo reacted at this moment. They pulled out their machetes and were about to chop him to death angrily.
"Blood of My Blood, stop!" Danny stopped the two of them and turned to the regretful guest. "Just treat it as a gift. I like this insect very much. You can leave now."
"You … you're not going to kill me?" The regretful guest was shocked. He stared into Danny's eyes as he carefully retreated to the gangplank.
"Why would I kill you? Haiya is the one who hired you, isn't it?" Seeing his pupils suddenly shrink, Danny understood that she was the one who had done the right thing. "You probably didn't notice it just now, right? The white-bearded guard beside me has already seen through your identity. The price of killing me is too high. Think about it carefully when you take on missions in the future.
At the very least, you should have thought about which is more serious, offending the Mother Of Dragons or rejecting the male adept … Hmm, if the male adept's magic is really that miraculous, why would I let you come here? "
"Thump, thump, thump …" The regretful guest retreated to the gangplank. Without saying a word, he jumped and ran, disappearing into the crowd in no time.
"Sorry!" Sir Jorah blushed. He didn't see through the regretful guest's flaws. Compared to the astute white-bearded man, he was a far cry.
"Sigh, Bevois should also apologize. Bevois didn't see through it either." The fat eunuch's face was also red, and he could only rub his hands awkwardly.
"You're warriors. You're not used to being bodyguards. Slowly accumulate experience," Danny said calmly.
"Why didn't the scorpion tail beast hurt you? Could it be that it's dead? "Whitebeard asked doubtfully.
"Patter!" Danny threw the jade-like beetle on the ground.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak …" The beetle was like a Transformer that had transformed. It spread its body with a hiss, and its claws popped out from under its body. A tail with a human face suddenly stood up from its tail.
The human face at the end of the tail was bigger than its torso. It was ferocious and terrifying. Its eyes, nose, and mouth were all there, and it was vivid.
On the forehead of the human face, the stinger that flickered with a dark purple cold light rapidly retracted, making a strange hissing sound that made people's hair stand on end.
"The scorpion tail beast's poison goes straight for the heart. It's very vicious. This scorpion tail beast has been specially cultivated. Its color is even more gorgeous, and it's almost no different from a real jade, "Whitebeard murmured.
Danny got up and walked to Blackie's side. She said, "Where the true dragon gazes, all beasts shall bow!"
The black dragon had sensed the danger almost at the same time as Danny. Without needing Danny's order, he had actively used his spiritual power to lock onto the scorpion tail beast. That was why Danny could play with it like a real jade ornament.
Later, when Blackie saw that Danny had thrown away the bug, he retracted his spiritual power and continued to lie on the ground sucking on the bone marrow. Only then could the scorpion tail beast continue to move.
Chora stepped forward and stomped the poisonous bug to death. He said with a serious face, "We must leave as soon as possible."
Blackbeard Galloway shook his head. "The ship can only leave at night after the tide rises. We don't have to receive those Dragon Visitors in the afternoon, right?"
Dani thought for a moment, then accepted his suggestion.
However, when the ship was about to set sail in the evening, a guest came. Zaluo was sitting in an ox cart, surrounded by a group of servants, and hurried over.
Danny received him.
"That regretful guest is not one of my men," he said anxiously.
"I know."
Zaluo was stunned for a moment before he said in annoyance, "Those damned regretful guests. If they wanted to assassinate you, then so be it. Why did they have to do it in my name? You are the guest I swore to protect. If outsiders misunderstand that I have broken my oath and murdered my own guest, then … "
"My kind good person, my lovely star of heaven!" Tears streamed down his cheeks, and together with the colorful jewels on his nose, he looked very funny.
He threw himself at Dani and held her hand. "Help me," he cried, "you have to help me, you have to help me."
"Help with what?" Danny felt as if a slug had crawled up her back. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
"Help me announce to the world that I did not send that regretful guest. I did not break my oath …" At this point, he suddenly shouted loudly. "Oh! Dammit, I should have stationed a group of guards around this broken ship until you leave Queers. "
"What are you talking about? My baby, Seduleon, is very beautiful!" Captain Grolier said angrily.
Zaluo ignored him and continued to be annoyed. "I should have known that a mistake like this would happen on the last day. Those sorcerers have been secretly plotting this all along. Dammit, once I leave Queers, you can assassinate, poison, and curse me all you want. "
"Cough cough …" Danny coughed loudly, reminding this scumbag that she was still here!
"Oh, my sweet heart, what do you think?" Zaluo looked at her pitifully.
"I want to help you, but the ship is about to depart." Danny spread her hands and said tentatively, "How about I write a contract?"
"No need. That's useless. Justice and trust are in the hearts of the people." Zaluo shook his head.
Oh, this shameless guy has some sense!
Danny praised Zaluo in her heart, then asked, "Then what should I do?"
Zaluo said confidently, "The news of your assassination has only spread to a small circle. We have to make everyone understand my character.
How about this? Every time you arrive at a port, tell them about how I treated you and your barbarians. When rumors about me spread, they won't believe it. "
Zaluo sighed and beat his chest. "It's a pity that you have to return to the Sea of the Setting Sun. Most of my trading partners are in the Jade Sea."
Understand your character?
Shameless!
Everyone on the deck looked at him with disdain.
"Alright. Every time I arrive at a city, I will tell the people who receive me about your generosity and wealth." Danny held back her laughter.
"Thank you so much, my heavenly star!" Zaluo began to wipe his tears again.
"Oh, right. I have to remind you again." Zaluo saw the look in the eyes of Jorah and the others and felt that it was time to come up with something useful. "Haiya also swore to you in the Red Plains. Do you remember?
In Quarles, he couldn't harm you directly, so he used a little trick — hiring regretful guests.
However, once you leave this place, he and the other male adepts will be able to openly use their powers of magic and curses against you. "
"I see." Danny understood.
Zaluo looked around and lowered his voice. "After knowing that you're going back to Pentos by sea, the wizards have already prepared a fast ship. Their destination is Pentos in the Western Continent.
You've seen what the Nightwalkers can do. The wizards' strength is quickly recovering. You must be careful when you return to Pentos. "
"Pentos is not the wizard's territory," Grolle shouted.
"The wizards only kill in the dark. They don't take over Pentos." Zaluo smiled contemptuously.
Before walking down the gangplank, Zaluo gave Danny a gift. It was a silver necklace inlaid with a magic amethyst.
Night covered the land, and a string of yellow lights lit up the sea in the distance. It was a lighthouse to guide the ship's direction.
With the crashing sound of the waves hitting the shore, Grolle shouted for the sailors to raise the anchor. The first mate and a few strong men personally pulled up the sails.
The huge white sails swelled in the night wind, and the Cedurion slowly left the dock.
Danny and the centaurs stood at the stern of the ship. The night market in front of them gradually shrank until it finally disappeared.
She felt that the sail ship was really slow. Even though the Blood Guards had been training on the beach for a few days, they were still frightened when they saw the black sea around them. Their almond eyes were wide and white.
But they had strong self-esteem and were determined not to show their fear in front of others. Their bodies were tense, and their faces were wooden. They did not move or show any expression.
The Reese girl, Doreah, was born on an island. She was more comfortable on a ship than on a horse. But the centaur maids, Irri and Jhiqui, were different. They had not even been to the beach for training.
They grabbed the side of the ship with both hands, like people who had fallen into the sea holding onto a lifebuoy.
So Danny hurriedly asked them to go to her bedroom, but she regretted it after a while.
Following the lighthouse's guidance, the Cedurion left the calm bay and entered the turbulent strait. A wave hit, and the ship shook slightly, and then again …
"Wah —" The two centaur girls turned pale and vomited.
On the first night, Danny could not sleep peacefully. It was only when Grolle handed over two orange peel flavored sugar cubes that the two girls calmed down.
"This is a secret medicine made by the apothecaries from the Northern Territory using hawthorn and Dorne's blood oranges. It contains many mysterious ingredients that I don't know about. Other than preventing seasickness, it can also cure fevers and colds. It's very precious. One silver moon can only buy twenty pieces." He said painfully.
It was indeed a little expensive. One copper coin was equivalent to five dollars. One silver moon could be exchanged for eight hundred copper coins, and one piece of sugar was two hundred dollars …
"Sigh, take them all out. There are many women and children below the deck. Give each of them one piece." Danny sighed as she sat on the bed.
"This …" Blackbeard hesitated. "If the sailors get a headache or fever, I'm afraid there won't be enough!"
"We'll buy it when we reach the other ports. There should be something similar, right?"
And we're not going to Pentos …
