66. Orc warrior armed to the teeth

Justus lay on the cold stone slab of the cave, curled up in a ball, gasping with his mouth open and gasped quickly, like a rainbow trout leaving the water. .

After squeezing the last trace of strength in his body, he began to twitch all over his body, and the green fish scale patterns under his skin became more and more obvious, gradually spreading to his face.

The green light in his eyes disappeared little by little, and his eyes gradually became clear, but the pain he suffered in his body did not decrease at all. The outbreak of drug addiction made him lose his mind and unable to suppress the blood of the siren in his body. He turned into a monster with fish fins growing on his limbs and fish scale patterns appearing on his body. He was beaten up by Kalancho who rushed over later. The siren's signs disappeared from Justus's body little by little, and he woke up.

Previously, Justus was tortured by torture at the base of the Black Magic Secretariat. After we rescued him, his physical condition has been very poor.

The argument of "rescue" seems a bit inappropriate. Perhaps Justus didn't think so. Perhaps he thought he was just moving from one cave to another, that's all.

I don’t know what kind of pain it is to endure when drug addiction occurs after taking the “Demon Blood”.

I still remember that Su would enter the state of "Shadow Body" once he had a drug addiction attack.

Kalancho seemed to know what I was thinking at the moment, and she said to me: "Compared to Su at that time, his drug addiction attack of this level is far behind!"

"It may hurt a little, bear it!" I walked to Justus and said to him.

The light blue hexagram array rose under my feet, and a "spatitis" fell on Justus's body. The severe pain made his face extremely distorted.

I squatted down and asked him, "Are you a descendant of the sirens?"

"...I am like this now, can I still say 'I am not' to you?" He smiled bitterly, and the fish scale patterns on his face made him look a little hideous.

I said, "Do you know? I came to Dunai Island thousands of miles to find you!"

Justus lay on the stone slab, as if his whole body was paralyzed, only his mouth and eyes could move.

He said weakly and weakly: "What do you want to know? Maybe you think my mother will leave me some treasure? If you think so, then you will definitely be very disappointed. She couldn't stay anything except this body with the blood of the Siren."

"After so many years, there will always be people who will travel thousands of miles from all corners of the world. They are looking for my mother's whereabouts, just like you, but these people have never thought that the Siren also has a lifespan, she will grow old and die."

He stared at me, and his eyes looked quite complicated.

I was surprised: "She died?"

He wanted to laugh, but found that when he was pulling the corner of his mouth, the muscles on his face were a little stiff. He just slightly touched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's been about twenty years."

"Oh, so that's it. I heard she has a soul horn?" I asked Justus.

Justus told me: "Every sirens will have a soul horn, and she is no exception. I thought you were the half treasure map left by the rumored Pirate King, but I didn't expect you to come to find that soul horn."

I said to him, "I can... well... I mean I just want to borrow a soul horn. Of course I will pay you a reward that satisfies you, and I will sign a magic contract with you to ensure that I will return the original item after the ceremony."

"I don't have any soul horn in my hand. In fact, her soul horn was stolen a long time ago!" Justus's eyes showed a trace of remembrance. Those memories seemed to be a long time ago. His eyes flowed, his thoughts turned from the memories, and he said to me again: "In fact, I have never even seen it. It only exists in my mother's memories."

"Is the soul horn taken away?" I said in a lost voice.

Although I felt it was a bit incredible, I felt aware that what Justus said was true.

"That's right... Of course, you can choose to believe, or you can choose not to believe, just like I don't have half a treasure map in my hand. In short, who would believe what I said?" he said.

"I believe in you!" I said to him.

"Hmm?" He looked at me in amazement.

"I believe what you said is true." I looked into his eyes and said to him seriously.

"Do I need to show gratitude and tears in your trust at this time?" He smiled bitterly again and asked me in a self-deprecating tone.

"Of course... no need." I was a little uncomfortable with his humor and said to him casually: "If possible, I want to know whose soul horn ended up falling into. I just want to find that soul horn, which is very important to me."

He didn't say anything, just looked at me with a look of "you are no different from others."

Silently, I suddenly realized that I didn't know how to speak.

After a while, he suddenly asked me: "Am I almost dead?"

I said to Justus: "Speaking of this, you are very addicted to drugs. It is a potion from the world of hell when you came to the Green Empire. Although you can occasionally see it in the Green Empire, it is also a very rare magic material. The magicians of the Green Empire like to use it to make 'Blue Fire Ink', which is the main material for drawing the 'magic catalysis' scroll."

"It sounds, it's expensive?" Justus asked me.

"Usually, things are precious because they are scarce!" I said.

Then, I said to him: "However, 'drug addiction' will not affect your life. It's just that in the days to come, your life will become more and more difficult. This is a common method used by the Black Magic Secretariat. However, the cost of this method of interrogation is very high and not everyone can enjoy it."

"What is your relationship with the Black Magic Secretariat?" Justus became a little curious about me.

He asked me, "Alliance?"

I shook my head.

He asked again: "Enemy?"

I nodded.

"oh!"

He agreed without comment.

"I can help you get rid of your drug addiction, the price is that you have to stay with me for a while," I said to Justus. "Of course, you can not accept my help, and that will happen, you will be free immediately and I can send you to the docks of Dunai."

He stared at me with some surprise and asked, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Soul Horn?"

I replied with a smile: "Didn't you tell me?"

He widened his eyes, his speech was a little quick, his tone slightly higher, causing his voice to be a little sharp: "When did I say it?"

I pointed my finger into his eyes and said to him: "The answer is hidden in your eyes. You tell me with your eyes that the soul horn is hidden in the Pirate King's treasure. Only by finding the Pirate King's treasure can you find the soul horn, so I want to try it to see if I can find the Pirate King's treasure."

"Well, you're right. It's true that the Pirate King snatched the horn from my mother. As for whether it was hidden with the treasures, there was no way to know. After all, no one had seen the treasures." Justus's eyes showed a hint of fatigue, and his eyelids kept fighting.

His consciousness gradually became dazed and said to me again: "I'm a little sleepy. If I can still wake up, maybe I can tell you a story!"

"I wish you a good dream!"

Seeing Justus fall into a coma, the fish scale patterns on his face dissipated little by little, and the bone spurs growing from his elbows, ankles, and spine retracted into his body little by little, returning to his original human appearance, his face turned pale. It seemed that after overdrawing all his energy, he could have a good sleep.

Turning around and walking out of the stone chamber, I was about to talk to another evil master to see what new things he could say to me.

...

The evil wizard was no different from the evil wizard named "Utley". He said in unison: Come to Dunai Island to ask the whereabouts of the half treasure map from Justus.

My mind clearly showed the sea grudges from the Vasqi plane decades ago:

Decades ago, a powerful pirate king appeared in the seas of the Vasqi plane. His life was almost constantly conquering other pirates. He led the most powerful pirate army to steal countless treasures (including the soul horn of the great siege monster)

After the Pirate King's death, he hid the treasure he had accumulated throughout his life in a secret place, and drew a treasure map, divided the treasure map into two, and distributed it to his two sons, hoping that their brothers could work together to share the treasure. But what was unexpected was that the two sons of the Pirate King turned against each other because of this.

The Pirate King's eldest son joined forces with the Siren to defeat the Pirate King's second son. In the end, the Siren snatched half of the treasure map from the second son's hand, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Many years later, the pirates still missed the treasure map. They searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the squad, but never shared this secret with others.

The second evil master saw that there was no surprise in my eyes, worried that I would drag him into the textile workshop to feed the spider, and constantly wipe the sweat on his forehead with his handkerchief, and said another thing to me: that is, the eldest son of the Pirate King did not have the ability to command the tribes left by the Pirate King. A few years later, he died in a rebellion of the pirates, and the whereabouts of the half treasure map in his hand were also unknown.

Thinking of this, I remembered Captain Johnny Jones on the "Slave Vendor" and the half treasure map found on his ship.

...

When Justus woke up again, the Yero native woman who cared for him found Kalancho and told her: 'Justus wanted to talk to me.'

Kalancho found me again.

I saw Justus in the stone chamber and saw that he looked much better than before. He only had two big dark circles with deep eye sockets and a haggard face. He leaned against the stone wall with a wolf-skin mattress behind him. When he saw me coming over, he smiled reluctantly at me, looking like a very polite gentleman.

He has been resisting the "drug addiction" in his body, so he looks so haggard.

In front of his couch was a bowl of fish soup and half a piece of scone, and the food was only moved a little bit.

It seems that the native Yero woman is very good at caring for people.

This time I came here, the native Yero even brought out a stone bench from the corner of the stone chamber and asked me to sit in front of Justus. I saw that he was covered with thick fur, but his face still looked ashen.

Justus saw me and cheered up and said to me, "Since you have agreed, if I can still wake up, I will tell you a story!"

I nodded to him and expressed my willingness to sit aside and listen quietly.

"My childhood was probably the kind of life that was always on the sea and living a wandering life.

My mother has been taking me since I was a child and lived an incognito on various islands. Life was very hard. She had never shown her extraordinary power in front of me. I have always thought she was an ordinary civilian woman, no different from other mothers.

We often rush to the sea when the tide is low for a bite. One of the words she often says is: Thank the God of the Sea for giving us everything.

I have never seen my father look like. When I was a child, I asked her: Why don’t I have a father?

But she never explained it to me.

In fact, I have never felt that I am different from others. If there is, it is worth it to be a little better physical condition.

It was not until the first time I woke up the power of the sirens, that I realized the difference between myself and others. That time I scared me. I thought I had been transformed into a monster by a magician's "transformation". Later, I learned from my mother that the reason why I became like this was because my body was filled with blood that was different from others.

That's right, when I use the power of my blood, some bone spurs will grow in my body, and a layer of green scales will appear on the surface of my skin. These signs can give me the ability to 'breathe underwater' and allow me to be free in the sea like a fish.

It was then that I realized that I was different from others.

I heard the past from her. In those years, she kept taking me around to search for the whereabouts of Dominic, the second son of the Pirate King. She wanted to find the Pirate King's treasure and get her soul horn from the treasure. She searched for it for many years. Later, as I grew up slowly, she needed a stable residence, and her mind to find the soul horn gradually faded.

However, although we have not recovered the soul horn over the years, we have collected some clues.

You said you need a soul horn, just want to perform a soul ritual?"

Justus suddenly asked me.

"Ah...yeah, I just want to perform a soul ritual with the soul horn." I said.

"Although I don't know where the Pirate King's treasure is, I know the whereabouts of half of the treasure map..." Justus said to me.
