Main Text Volume Chapter 54 Nausicaa
Angel lay on the table, looking at the blue sky through the window.
The warm sunlight sprinkled on his skin, quietly drawing a golden edge, and the gentle and comfortable breath made him feel sleepy.
How long has it been since he felt sleepy like this? Since boarding the Bauhinia, Angel has never really relaxed. One reason is his mood, and the other is that the ship is inevitably bumpy on the sea. On the Bauhinia, Angel always feels like he is stepping on cotton.
But on the Cloud Whale, it is as stable as the real earth.
This stability makes Angel feel at ease. There is nothing to do, basking in the warm sunshine and smelling the fragrance of grass, Angel fell asleep unconsciously.
A small stone drew a beautiful arc, was thrown in from the window, and fell on the table.
The sound was not too loud, disturbing Angel's sleep.
Opening his slightly hazy eyes, Angel, who had just woken up, was still in a daze for a while, until another stone fell in, and under the rebound of inertia, it jumped and stopped beside Angel's hand.
Angel slowly came back to his senses at this time, and picked up the small stone in confusion.
Who is playing a prank?
Angel stretched his neck and looked out the window.
The green grass was lush and swaying in the warm breeze. The cloud whale flew steadily. The clouds occasionally covered the lawn not far away, and only cattle and sheep could be seen running around.
Angel looked left and right, but found nothing.
Just when he was confused, a lazy and hoarse female voice came into his ears:
"Hey, boy, are you looking for me?"
...
It was a plump woman wearing a brown leather coat and a silver scale shoulder armor.
She was in the tent opposite Angel. It was covered by clouds and fog before, so Angel didn't notice it for a while.
Through the open window on the tent, Angel could only see the woman opposite him, leaning on the table like him, holding her chin with her hand, and looking at him curiously. In her other hand, she was throwing small stones back and forth, and this action seemed to tell Angel that it was she who threw the stone before.
Although the woman's whole body could not be seen, judging from her long brown wavy hair and graceful upper body, the woman should be tall.
The woman's face was beautiful and mature, with her chin on her side, looking sexy and lazy.
Even Angel, a young boy who still had a vague concept of women, couldn't help but brighten his eyes.
Accompanied by the melodious breeze, Angel and Nausicaa began their first conversation.
Nausicaa, the lady opposite, was very talkative and could easily grasp the leading role of the topic. Even if Angel took the initiative to start the topic, she could use expressions, actions, extended questions, and rhetoric, and then slowly lead the topic again.
Angel didn't even feel uncomfortable when chatting with her. Even if the topic deviated from the dominant one repeatedly, it still made people feel harmonious and happy.
This is a natural leader.
"You are not from the Nine Chambers Blood Fight?" Nausicaa lifted her hair in a charming manner, and looked at Angel with her green eyes.
"Nine Chambers Blood Fight?" Angel muttered in confusion.
"Sure enough, there is no bloody smell on you, you are really lucky little guy." Nausicaa took out a long-handled black gold pipe from somewhere, took a puff from time to time, and the smoke rings and clouds blended with her. There were always white smoke around her.
Nine Chambers Blood Fight is a way for the Savage Cave to select talents. All talents are divided into nine different stone chambers for bloody battles. The winner is the king and the loser must die. There is a safe zone in each stone chamber, but the safe zone is open for a limited time. In addition, there are ten rules in the stone cabin. The gifted must use various means, whether it is scheming or brute force, to bypass or use the rules of the stone cabin and finally survive.
He now understands why he smelled a strong smell of blood when he passed by a square stone house before, because that was the stone cabin where the gifted fought blood!
And the only winner in the stone cabin is allowed to join the Savage Cave.
According to Nausicaa, the winners of the stone cabin can win by wit, by alienation, and by pretending to be dead.
"There are only two people who really qualify by fighting power." Nausicaa blew out a smoke ring.
"One is the barbarian Baruba in the fourth cabin."
"What about the other one?" Angel asked.
Nausicaa looked directly at Angel, and a seductive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The other one, it's me."
Hearing this answer, Angel's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the sexy and beautiful woman actually qualified by fighting power.
Angel didn't see a trace of blood on her, only peace and laziness.
Such a woman, could she be so cruel that she killed the whole cabin to get the qualification to survive? !
"Is it cruel? Actually not, this is... the reality of the world." Nausicaa smiled slightly: "In order to survive, you can do anything."
"Survival of the fittest." Angel said slowly.
Nausicaa looked at Angel with a high opinion, "The summary is very insightful, this sentence is not the style you can say at your age."
Angel pursed his lips without comment. This is indeed not what he said, but he stood on the shoulders of giants, with the earth civilization as the foundation, he can learn everything, it is also very powerful!
"Okay, it's boring to stay here. I just want to chat with you to relieve my boredom. We've been chatting for so long, let's stop here." Nausicaa reached out and gently pulled down the white curtain of the window: "Finally, I'll remind you that some people may not be satisfied if you don't go through the bloody battle."
Nausicaa pointed to several small tents in the distance: "Do you see those tents? These are the winners of the nine cabins."
Angel looked, but because it was too far away, he could only see small tents. However, he clearly saw that as he looked, the curtains of several tents were gently pulled down, which showed that those people were always watching him.
This reminded him of the time when he was taken by Flora to take a detour, he always felt like there was a thorn in his back. The cold and evil horror might be emitted by those people.
"After all, those who can win the bloody battle of the nine cabins have a sense of superiority to a certain extent. In this world, many disputes come from - unfairness. Do you understand, little boy?"
It's not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality. Although Angell understood this, he just boarded the Cloud Whale today! Didn't your nine-cabin blood battle end long ago!
"However, you don't have to worry about it on the Cloud Whale. The wizard just now didn't set up a forbidden array outside your tent, you can leave the tent at any time. And we are all restricted in the tent by the forbidden array and can't go out." Nausicaa: "This is also one of the reasons why they are unhappy with you."
...
Although Nausicaa was chatting happily, Angell was always wary in his heart. As she said, there is nothing good about people who can come out of the nine-cabin blood battle.
However, Angel kept the last reminder of Nausicaa in his heart.
It was not trust in Nausicaa, but distrust of human nature.
The clouds ended and the stars appeared, and the curtain of night was opened by the gentle moonlight.
After dinner, Angell was still thinking about whether he should take the initiative to brush up his presence in front of his cheap mentor, when Flora appeared in front of him.
"Good evening, Angel."
"Hello, Miss Flora."
Flora didn't care about Angel's address. Although her background was different from that of Isley, she didn't have a surname. She was adopted by Sanders since she was a child. She wanted to take her mentor's surname, but the mentor didn't agree.
"The mentor's experiment has been completed. I think you should go and meet him."
