[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

In order to thoroughly investigate the origin of the "Red Ribbon", the Supreme King decided to personally form an expedition team to sail to the East China Sea.He knows that it is not easy to fight against magic, and this trip may never return, but the length of the red ribbon has been visibly extended and lengthened within a few days, compressing the living space of the aquarium in the entire sea area, and if measures are not taken in time, it will be They are betting thousands of lives.

He quickly drew up and issued a sailing call, emphasizing that he would also go out together.A number of outstanding warriors from the Navy Fleet, Marine Corps, and Intelligence Agency signed up voluntarily.Edith, who grew up at sea since she was a child, also submitted the form as a matter of course, but she never expected that she would lose the election.

Soldiers of various shapes on the coastline were making the final count; Edith squatted on the distant reef in dejection.She knew that she didn't have the slightest magic power, not as strong as Mona Gabriella and the others, and indeed not as strong as the young lads, but as a naval veteran with more than four years of training and rich combat experience, this result was a complete blow to her abilities Negative, unacceptable.

"Etty, don't be dazed!" someone called her from the foot of the reef, a heroic queen in a sailor suit.

"Don't you want to go aboard with them? Come with me!"

Edith was still dazed, subconsciously jumped off the rocks, and was tiptoed away by Lucy.

After the supreme king finished handling the government affairs during the day, he returned to his bedroom and began to pack for the sea.It had been a long time since he took off his court attire, and he felt refreshed when he put on a loose and comfortable linen shirt.

According to the plan, the fleet will leave the port at [-]:[-] p.m., follow the red ribbon that also emits a light-colored halo at night, stop at the Lonely Islands under the rule of Narnia for supplies if necessary, and continue eastward.

When he wiped and wore the sword and came to the port of Cair Paravel, he found that there was no shadow of a ship on the shore!

Surprised, the Supreme King suspected that he had told the wrong time, so he stopped a porter at the port to ask about the situation.

"The 'Soul Slayer' will set sail this evening, Your Majesty."

"GhostSlayer" was Edmund's name for the ocean-going ship. Peter hated it in every possible way at the time, saying that his grown-up brother was still in the second grade like a teenager; but now he can't even catch up with its shadow.

"It was King Justice who led them away, right?" Peter asked holding back his anger.

"Yes . . . he said Narnia needed your permanent presence, and that it would be urgent to replace you."

hell!The supreme king smashed the sword at his waist to the ground, so angry that he couldn't even scold the unlucky brother.Of course he knew that Narnia needed a long-term and stable governance, and how much the neighboring countries were afraid of the famous Peter the Great; but this task related to evil magic was too dangerous, and he was absolutely not at ease entrusting it to a newly completed job. Little boys do it.

Edmund dared to command the entire elite fleet behind his back today, and dared to lead troops to swallow up the land of neighboring countries without telling him tomorrow. "Brother" is the most disturbing word in the world, bar none.

He returned to the castle angrily and anxiously, and met Fangwen, Lucy's personal maid on the way.She is almost inseparable from the queen on weekdays, but today she is uncharacteristically.Hua Jing didn't hold any items from the palace, and she had a small luggage on her back.

"Lucy?" An ominous premonition rose in his heart again.

"Queen, she..." Fang Wen stammered, obviously holding a secret, "Your Majesty gave me two days off, saying that the scenery in the woods is very beautiful in spring..."

"Tell me the truth," the Supreme King was almost desperate at the moment, but looked calm, "—is she not in the castle?"

Judging by the expression on the maid's face, Peter knew he had guessed right without waiting for her to speak.

"Brother" and "sister" are the most annoying words in the world!Regardless of the huge country and the castle, the two of them would scramble to find the wizard to kill him, leaving the eldest brother in the family as a shrinking turtle!Only when they were beaten with black noses and swollen faces did they know that they went home crying to find their brother.

Angry at best, Peter was most worried about the safety of Edmund and Lucy.He came to the office study and began to draft letters to the two of them—messenger at sea, and the gulls could help them keep in touch.

"Ed and Lulu are gone, didn't even say hello?!" Before the Susannen outside the door arrived, the anxious voice came first.

"It's a blessing that you're still here," Peter said helplessly.

Susan shook her head and said sarcastically, "You really can see the better side of things."

"Otherwise?" The Supreme King raised his eyebrows habitually, "Send me another speedboat to bring them back? It's too much trouble."

Susan is actually much more realistic than her brother, and many things are just words.After a moment of silence, she put catkins on her brother's shoulders and comforted her: "We can only do the work of two people in the castle alone, and pray for them silently at the same time."

Right now Edmund, the King of Justice, was independent from the bow of the "Soul Slayer", feeling uneasy.I don’t know if Peter, Susan, and Lucy are all sulking—it goes without saying that the Supreme King was cheated by him; the “Mother Susan” who seems to be taking care of her children all the time must be worried about him; as for Lucy, Signed up for a voyage but was rejected by him and the Supreme King, probably looking for the maid and Edith to cry.

"Get some wine from the cabin," he ordered Derek, the first mate on board, Captain of the Narnia Fleet. "Need a strong drink to warm up the first night of sailing."

"Decree, Your Majesty."

Derek led two sailors into the underground warehouse to move wine barrels, and a few torches illuminated the dark cabin——

"Mylord!" cried a sailor suddenly.

Two gray-faced girls emerged from behind many wine barrels, their faces flickering with pride and guilt alternately.

"Your Majesty the Brave Queen?!" The three of them knelt on one knee and saluted in shock.

"Don't be so formal..." Lucy waved her dusty palms in embarrassment, "Since we are all on the same boat, we are friends who share weal and woe. ——Can we go out and wash our faces?"

5 minutes later, the "Soul Slayer" deck.

Edmund was as angry as the High King was an hour ago.The younger the Pevensies are, the more ghostly they are!Before he had time to be happy for successfully deceiving Peter, he let Lucy take advantage of the loophole and climbed onto the pirate ship in a blink of an eye.

"Do you have anything to explain?" He folded his arms and stared at Lucy with disheveled hair.He knew that without Lucy's instigation, Edith would not be able to disobey the military order by herself.

"Let's be with each other." The girl rolled her round eyes, obviously witnessing the whole process of her brother deceiving the Supreme King.

King Justice was so choked by her that he couldn't speak.The three stalemate on the deck for a while, and finally the only adult made a concession——

"Go and clean up a room to live in. And... today's wine is not for the two of you!"

The moon outside the porthole rose to the highest point of the dark blue sky.Edith leaned half on the swaying hammock alone, tossing and turning as she looked at Lucy who was already asleep beside her.

The night after the red ribbon incident, she had another very strange dream.A voice warned her never to go to sea, and another whisper warned her to go with her.I am obviously an ordinary person, not a priest or prophet, and I don't know anything about magic, so why do I have these nagging dreams?

Recently, Edmund's attitude towards her has also been very strange.The person who ignored her at the intelligence bureau's regular meeting for two consecutive weeks had been talking to Lucy just now, as if she was consciously avoiding something.And according to his past personality, when finalizing the list of going overseas, he will definitely bring his friends with him--he is well-trained, at least he won't hold back, so what's wrong with sending a favor?

Perhaps only the magnificent and mysterious sea can calm her down.She put on her brown sailor-skin waistcoat, jumped out of the hammock, and was about to take a walk outside the cabin.

The person on duty in the wheelhouse happened to be Saknur, who was the first to be selected by Edmund from the Intelligence Bureau, and he was very strong.She wanted to go over to chat with him to relieve boredom, but suddenly remembered the other party's obscure feelings for her, so she stopped at the door.

She couldn't bring him any deeper misunderstandings.Although I have regarded him as my younger brother from the beginning to the end - this werewolf boy in his twenties is really too small. Although he is tall and strong, his face still looks like a baby, and his smile is revealing. He is naive, talking about feelings with him has the illusion of spoiling a child.

She just stood at the door like this for a while, but Saknur suddenly turned her head as if she had a suggestion from a god.

"'Compass'?" He was still used to calling her by her code name.

"Uh, I didn't mean to disturb..." Edith frowned and explained, "I just happened to pass by... Just do your own thing."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, not wanting to be stopped by the boy immediately: "It's normal to not be able to sleep on the first day of sailing. Come chat with me."

Edith had no choice but to enter the duty room, and chatted with Saknur one after another, watching the moon in the sky gradually sinking to the west.Fortunately, their topics were very light, mainly about work and entertainment, and they didn't talk very deeply.But just as she was about to go back to the cabin and take a nap before dawn, the boy suddenly asked her such a question: "Did I lose to that king, Edith?"

This seemed to be the first time he called Edith's real name, and the pronunciation sounded a bit unfamiliar.

Edith didn't expect him to ask such a question, and she didn't know how to answer it—after all, she sometimes couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"If so, just tell me, it's better than losing to others."

Edith had hundreds of thoughts in her mind.She had never faced the issue of emotional inclination directly, and she was so cowardly that she asked Saknur to help her figure it out.

"I never planned...no, not foolish enough to want to be with him.—that was a stupid and damned idea."

After saying these two sentences, there were still some secrets in her dark brown eyes, which made Saknur doubtful.

"Why?" The werewolf boy asked instinctively.

"I don't belong here, and I'm not one of the Pevensies. I came to Narnia to find my forgiveness."

Edith no longer knew what she was talking about. She knew that she did not explain the reason for rejecting the other party, but threw him more confused doubts.

"That's all I can say." She was sitting on the floor with her back against the instrument table, but she got up quickly, "I'm sorry, 'Blood Moon'... You are the best comrade-in-arms and brother in my eyes. The enemy is now, we You should calm your mind."

Love is the Achilles heel of the greatest warriors, as her father taught her since she was a child.It's time to put an end to all the troubles.

The author has something to say: Note: Achilles' Heel (Achilles' Heel), originally refers to Achilles' heel, because it is the only place where it has not been soaked in the divine water, and it is his only weakness.He was later fatally shot during the Trojan War.

Achilles is the precious son of the mortal Peleus and the beautiful nymph Thetis.In order to turn his son into a "golden bell jar", Thetis carried him upside down and dipped him into the river Styx when he was just born. Unfortunately, the heel of the boy was accidentally exposed out of the water, which was pinched by his mother. There is only one "death spot" left in the whole body.Later, Achilles was shot in the ankle by the sun god and died.Later generations often use the "Achilles' heel" as a metaphor for such a truth: no matter how powerful a hero is, he still has fatal dead spots or weaknesses.
