At this moment, the scene was extremely quiet.

The bonfire splashed sparks and flickered, perhaps irrefutable, and the light and shadow flickered indefinitely. Teacher Zefa and Brigadier General Triton looked gloomy for a while.

Polusalino sneered, quickly turned his gaze away, and turned to Chitose Baisui.

She looked directly at him, her eyes were as bright as water, with golden and red sparks reflected in them, just like the sea surface before the setting sun, clear and vast.

After a brief silence, Polusalino couldn't help but want to sigh. He really couldn't see her ignorant and stupid look, so he could only say in a low voice, "The bait of the summoning ceremony rarely survives."

"Reject them for a hundred years, no matter what they give you."

Polusalino felt a bit of a headache, this woman is weird when she shouldn't be smart, but when she should be shrewd, why is she so stupid?

Seeing her puzzled look, he continued to explain to her, "The sea monster is a kind of monster, even the fierce and warlike murlocs dare not compete with the sea monster family.

"And, they are different from any kind/ethnic group in the ocean. Sea monsters are addicted to humans."

"Survive between Atlanta and Gaugamela. The sea chart shows that it forms an equilateral triangle area with Dumuzi. It lives in deep-sea coral reef caves. It is a place where ethnic groups haunt and bones are spread for thousands of miles."

"Every 20 years is the reproduction period of the Siren family. On the night of the new moon, they float on the ocean and revel until the sunrise. Only on that night, the Siren King can be summoned by using the Crescent Flute, the most important treasure of the Dumuzi Kingdom."

After waving his hand, Polusalino continued, "Perhaps it is the law of nature that restricts that terrible species. There are no females in the Kraken family."

"The so-called summoning ceremony, in addition to the flute of the crescent moon that can emit strange sounds for some reason, Dumuzi also always prepares many beautiful and pure virgins."

While speaking, Polusalino was always observing Chitose Baisui's reaction. Seeing her eyes change slightly, he knew she understood the meaning of the bait in the summoning ceremony.

Qiantui Baisui has never been a pure and innocent woman. On the contrary, she knows better than anyone else whether it is her appearance that will arouse desire/desire, or the unfair attitude of the world itself towards women.

It was precisely because he knew her that Polusalino told the truth.

After understanding, she must have refused, and he hooked his lips slightly, and he simply told all the secrets, "The bait was driven into the sea, and was quickly captured by monsters. After sunrise, they brought their prey back to the bottom of the sea. The larvae The first food they are born with is their flesh and blood."

He revealed the secret that should not be known at once, and he didn't say anything after that, but just stared at her quietly, and as expected, he saw large swathes of haze in her eyes, steaming like water mist.

After getting along for this period of time, Polusalino would not be clear about what is the most taboo thing for thousands of years old, and he didn't say it so scary to scare her, but to deepen her disgust.

Summon the Siren King with a thousand years as a bait?Polusalino sneered silently, shifted his gaze a few degrees, and looked into Zefa and Triton's eyes, revealing slight resentment and hostility.

No matter what the original intention of this department, how could he allow it?

……

A long silence followed.

In the end, it was Chitose Baisui who spoke first to break the silence. She looked around, her eyes were not only gloomy, but also had a hint of sharp sarcasm, "The so-called summoning is actually an X party?"

puff!Polusalino was almost choked by his own saliva, but he was not the only one who was choked. The corners of the mouths of the other three men present twitched, their expressions were embarrassing, and their expressions were different for a while.

Afterwards, among the weak coughing sounds one after another, Qiantui Baisui said coldly again, "And to prove the authenticity of the Crescent Flute, are other people onlookers? It's really not interesting."

Hundred years old, you silly girl is too open-mouthed!Polusalino raised his hand to rest his forehead tremblingly, and replied with a look on his face, "No, it's because of the Siren King..."

In the middle of the conversation, he was suddenly intercepted by the voice inserted/inserted from the oblique ground, and the calm tone came from Zefa, "The reason for this is thousands of years old, maybe you want to know it from the Warring States."

After a slight pause, Polusalino put down his hands, frowned, and looked at their teacher Zefa coldly.

"Actually, I don't agree with you giving up the internship, it's just..." The man's words seemed to be full of meaning, while speaking, he reached into his arms and took out a small phone snail and put it on the ground. You explain."

After a while, the man moved his hand away, and the phone snail left on the ground began to slowly set up its tentacles.

Before the phone bug connected to the signal at the other end, Brigadier General Triton said in a deep voice, "New moon call, that bad habit should disappear with the demise of Dumuzi. I really don't know what those guys in the center want to do."

Xu Shi was also dissatisfied, and Brigadier General Triton's breath revealed a little chill, "The Kraken surfaced on the new moon night, and it would be better to use the heavy artillery of the warship group to sweep and wipe out all the ogre beasts."

"The naval headquarters has planned several times to encircle and suppress but failed to realize it, the center..."

"Yeah, it's because in the eyes of the center, the sacrifice of the bait is not worth the value it gets?" Polusalino said leisurely, with a sideways look in his eyes that had no deep meaning.

The next second, Triton and Zefa turned their heads to look over at the same time. The eyes of the three met and then quickly staggered. Polusalino raised the corners of his mouth without a trace, and slowly lowered his eyes.

……

In fact, Polusalino knows that the New Moon Ceremony is definitely not the intention of the Navy Headquarters, and I am afraid that it is the center...

And the headquarters will not obey the government and the central government. In recent decades, the navy has become stronger and stronger, and it has been gradually getting rid of control. If not, the generals will not openly express their dissatisfaction and mentality.

However, Polusalino thought there might be other reasons why thousands of years were involved. Of course, he didn't want to think about the complexity of it right now. His immediate priority now was to prevent her from agreeing to participate in the new moon ceremony.

In any case, he didn't want to see the silly girl take risks.

……

While his thoughts were racing, the phone snail on the ground slowly opened its eyes, and an anthropomorphic expression appeared on the face of the little creature. Seeing this, Polusalino immediately put away his other thoughts and turned his attention together with everyone else.

"Hundred years old." The voice from the phone snail's mouth really came from the general Warring States far away in Marineford. With the illusion of round hair, the snail showed a calm expression, "You saw Zefa."

"Yes, Mr. Warring States General." After answering with a tongue-twisting title, Chitose Baisui stared at the phone bug with curiosity, his voice was deliberately soft, which was completely different from the clear eyes, "I didn't even know you were on the sidelines X Party spirit."

Afterwards, she put away her eyes that looked at the snail on the phone, her eyes darkened slightly, she raised her lips and smiled very coquettishly, "I can present a seven-fold gauze dance later, to ensure your satisfaction, so, can you Don't tell me to die, General of the Warring States Period."

Compared with her coquettish show of weakness, she stared at the eyes of the phone snail... It was murderous.

Polusalino raised his hand and scratched his cheek, unexpectedly recalling how many times in the past, after Chitose Baisui showed such eyes, he provoked the fate of her people.

After thinking about it, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but light a candle in advance for the General of the Warring States Period in his heart.

During the one-month training camp at the Naval Academy, Polusalino has already discovered that this girl who is a thousand years old and a hundred years old, although most of the time she is soft and doesn't care about anything, but once she gets angry, it is out of control.

In the last kendo class, Alex viciously opened her skirt with a sword, but she 'missed' with an innocent face and broke several ribs, and he is still recuperating in the medical department.

The last time was the heavy weaponry practice class of warship distribution, she picked up the barrel of the sniper gun with a blank expression, and then "slipped her hand" and swept away a few classmates who spoke badly, and by the way, half of the people present were bruised and swollen for half a week.

Last time, she...'didn't pay attention' and even beat up the instructor who went to persuade...

After counting each item, the back of Polusalino's head was immediately covered with black lines, and he suddenly felt that he was really lucky, or in other words, Bai Sui really looked at him differently.

Otherwise, how could he be safe and sound every time?A girl like Baisui who can punch through the half-meter-thick rock floor of the martial arts arena with a single punch, a girl with natural supernatural power... She really doesn't hate him, right?

……

Secretly rejoicing and joyful, Polusalino secretly squinted from the corner of his eyes, not paying attention to his thousand-year-old who only focused on the phone snail.

At this time, Xu Shi was choked by her shocking words, and the phone snail had been stunned for a while.

After waiting for a while, the speechless general of the Warring States Period calmed down, and finally spoke again, "Hundred years old, you—"

With a calm and heavy voice, the tone seemed to be very helpless. He paused, and suddenly changed the subject when he spoke again, "The medical department formulated a treatment plan for Durand, and you must have seen it."

"It's worse than expected."

"The medical department analyzes that..." The voice from the other end of the phone snail became hoarse, with indescribable hesitation, "Durand's body organ decay is..."

"It's caused by poisoning, isn't it?" Qiantose Baisui said before the general of the Warring States Period said the answer, "Toxin deposition induces cell pathology, or direct erosion."

After she finished speaking, the breath of the others around the campfire stagnated slightly. Polusalino glanced at her in surprise, and then heard the Warring States General say, "The medical department is analyzing the pathogen."

"But... Maybe Durand won't be able to wait for the analysis results to come out and develop a treatment for it."

There was a moment of silence, as if remembering something, the general of the Warring States hurriedly asked, "By the way, there are devil fruits on the island you are on, and you—"

"Student Polusalino and Sakaski are very lucky~" Chitose shook his fingers indifferently, turned his head with a smile, looked around, and closed his eyes again, "Sparkling fruit and Magma fruit."

"It's the same when I think about it." The voice of the Warring States General returned to his previous calmness, "If you didn't want that one, you wouldn't pay attention to it even if it was natural."

……

Wanting that one... Stunned for a moment, Polusalino turned his face unconsciously, and took a deep look at Sakaski, who was also thoughtful. When their eyes met, they quickly staggered away.

Pursing the corners of his lips, Polusalino's eyes flashed a strange color, and he was almost unable to maintain a perfect calm on his face.

At this moment, perhaps his outward fluctuations were too obvious, Zefa and Triton stared at him distractedly, but the person he looked at slightly annoyed did not notice, "Lieutenant General Garp told you ?”

While speaking, she moved, changed to a more comfortable position, raised her hand and touched her earlobe, and said with a smile, "I missed the topic of the general of the Warring States Period, so it's time to get down to business and tell me the answer."

"In my opinion, the general of the Warring States Period is not a fanatic who disregards human life. There must be a special reason for the new moon summoning, and he came to me because of Durand, right?"

"The medical department doesn't have enough time to research drugs, and I can't find the fruit of the operation, so I can only use other methods."

"No matter what the cost, I must let him live."

She put down her hand and smiled slightly at the phone snail, "Is it the Crescent Flute or the Siren King, which one can save my adoptive father?"

"It's the heart of the Siren King." Polusalino answered her question coldly, "The Siren King appears once every 20 years, and its heart can cure any kind of evil disease in the world."

"Whether it's a physical illness or a severe poison."

"And it is precisely because of this that the Dumuzi royal family who hold the flute of the new moon can get the protection of the center."

When she suddenly turned around, he continued half annoyed and half gloomy, "You are so naive, even if you get the heart of the Sea Demon King, with your current status, that thing will be easily taken away. "

"The center will be so urgent, I am afraid that in the inner courtyard of the Chitu Continent, is there anyone who is also in danger?"

Hearing this, she was stunned, then narrowed her eyes slightly again, murderous intent and hope intertwined between her brows, the light in her eyes flickered for a while, as if something was burning vigorously in it.

……

After a while, Polusalino turned his eyes away, cast his eyes on the phone snail, forced to suppress his anger, quickly considered his words, and said slowly, "Do you want to sacrifice her even though you know it will be futile?"

"No—actually, the Ocarina of the Crescent has an accompanying curse." The general of the Warring States Period at the other end seemed to sigh, before continuing, "Compared to the Dumuzi royal family, the decoy has more right to use the heart of the Siren King. "

"It's just that there are almost no bait that can survive, and Dumuzi deliberately keeps it a secret."

"This time we reached an agreement with...." A few words in the middle of the talk were vague, and then became clear again, "If Chitose and Baisui participate in the New Moon Summoning, she can get half of it."

"And that dose is enough for Durand to recover."

"I agree." The thousand-year-old voice sounded almost at the same time as the Warring States General's voice fell, "I will quit the internship and go to the New World to station afterwards."

This time it was Polusalino's turn to stare at her, but unfortunately, no matter how fierce his eyes were, she didn't pay attention at all, she just glanced back, and then turned to Brigadier General Triton, "Let's go now? "

Brigadier General Triton looked up at the sky, and then said in a deep voice, "When it dawns, the offshore conditions at night are not suitable for warships to approach."

After finishing speaking, he looked her up and down again, his eyes seemed a little complicated, "You..." He paused after speaking, as if he didn't know what to say, he just shook his head, sighed and fell silent.

Not long after, the signal from Marineford was also interrupted, and the phone snail closed its eyes immediately, and the two tentacles on the top of its head slowly dropped.

Zefa, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward to retrieve the communicator, frowned and looked at Chitose Baisui for a long time without saying anything, and finally returned to his original position quietly.

……

In the stagnant water-like condensed atmosphere, Chitose Baisui, who was sitting cross-legged, raised his arms and stretched his waist. While raising his arms and hanging his shoulders, he said to himself in a low voice, "I'll get up early tomorrow. I'm going to wash up and rest, everyone. Please help yourself."

After speaking, she stood up and walked to the campfire, took out a half-burned wood from the strong fire, held it in her hand and used it to illuminate the road, and she walked slowly towards the stream.

Keeping his eyes fixed on the slender figure, Polusalino kept watching her keep pulling away from each other without looking back. For a long time, his eyes narrowed, and the anger rising in his eyes could not be concealed.

In the dark night in the distance, she turned around a tall rock standing on the bank of the stream. After the figure disappeared, the burning yellow spot was nailed to the ground, illuminating a small area of ​​light and shadow swaying with the wind.

The location she went to was a shallow bay in a stream. During the daytime, the deepest point was only half a person's height, and the water was gentle. I wondered where she was going to freshen up.

Not long after, there was the sound of water paddling in the silent night, and Polusalino, who was sitting still and silent like everyone else, slowly stood up.

Glancing at Sakaski, whose brows were twitching out of the corner of his eyes, he smiled, then turned around, and walked slowly in her direction.

"Eh--"

After walking a certain distance, Brigadier General Triton's slightly surprised voice came from behind his head. Polusalino paused slightly, tilted his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah~ Since Teacher Zefa is the same as this department, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice her. , before that, no one has a position to stop me from doing anything to her, right?"

His eyes swept over Brigadier General Triton, who had a slightly astonished expression, and then looked at Teacher Zefer again. The two looked at each other, and Polusalino saw the anger in the eyes of their teacher Zefer.

With a click, Polusalino twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, turned away his face again, and walked forward without saying a word.

……

Leaving the area covered by the halo of the bonfire, darkness rushed over.

The night was already deep at this time, but with Polusalino's vision, no matter how weak the light was, he could pass unimpeded, and there was even more silence behind him, and no one really stopped him.

He walked quickly with anger, and it didn't take long to get close to where she was. He turned around the tall rock in his field of vision, and the scene behind him came into view, and then he was slightly taken aback.

The lighting torches placed on the rocky beach near the water, the burning fireworks curling up, filled with smoke, swaying in the light and shadow, scattered golden and red spots on the gentle water.

Standing in the water, she happened to turn her face when she heard the movement, her long hair was scattered all over her body, and the tips of her hair fell to the water surface, as if smudged with ink, rippling in strands.

With the high sleeves and trouser legs, the plain white skin is immersed in the stream, the thin shirt is hazy, against the warm golden glow, the whole person looks as gorgeous as the morning glow.

It's just... the beautiful scenery that fell in his eyes, in the center of the wonderful scenery, she looked at him with clear eyes, and her pupils were spotless.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and Polusalino turned abruptly back to the backlight, leaning against the rough rock slumped, the anger circling in his heart was seen by her like...the ice and snow melted.

……

He took a few breaths, raised his eyes, and stared at the endless dark curtain above his head, trying to divert his attention. After a long time, he consciously adjusted his mentality before he asked, "Durand, is Scott your adoptive father?"

"So you were born in the white town of Frevans at the age of [-]?"

"No wonder, I heard that women in Beihai have good skin~"

Stumbling on trivial topics that he didn't even know the meaning of, Polusalino was distracted with distress. He originally wanted to bully her, but now it seems...

Unknowingly...is there anything he can do about her?

In Polusalino's view, a thousand years old should be locked in a deep courtyard with high walls, wrapped in the most expensive silk, decorated with the most exquisite jewelry, luxurious clothes and jewelry, and pampered in a boudoir.

if she wants to...

Too bad she doesn't want to...

Knowing how soul-stirringly beautiful she possessed, she refused to take advantage of that.

What a silly girl, Polusalino clicked his tongue, feeling a little relieved, if she hadn't behaved like this, he probably wouldn't have seen her as a person, at most she was just a plaything.

The boiling heat in the blood finally returned to normal temperature, Polusalino turned his face away, quietly watching the person who was turning out from the other side of the rock.

She stared at him with the light in her hand for a while, then smiled suddenly, and said in a calm voice, "What I want is the fruit of the operation all the time, so don't feel that you owe me any favors."

"Yeah~ I don't feel I owe you a favor." Shrugging, Fu reached out again, and took the torch in her hand to himself. Polusalino stretched out his other hand, palm facing upward.

"Since I'm a partner, I can only give up the internship."

Looking into her black and white pupils, Polusalino said in a hoarse voice, "Because I left your back to me~"
