Chapter Thirty-One: I'm here to give birth to your children!
It is said that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, flapping its wings occasionally, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA two weeks later.
Alright, Lin Taiping originally didn't believe in this butterfly effect, but the problem is that now he really has no choice but to believe it, because the facts are right in front of him.
Because of the large bucket of cold water on that winter night, the poor Dark Elf leader caught a severe cold; because of her severe cold, she accidentally sneezed while attempting to assassinate stealthily, causing several pirates to become alert and escape; because several pirates became alert and escaped, Bloody Eye Captain learned of the existence of the Dark Elves and decided to go capture slaves; because Bloody Eye Captain planned to capture slaves, he temporarily spared that damned Eastern-style martial artist apprentice...
"Cough, cough, cough." Lin Taiping was choked into continuous coughing and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Edward with a puzzled face. "I'm saying, that Dark Elf leader who got severe flu, doesn't he often have uncontrollable sneezes?"
"How did you know?" Edward's eyes widened in astonishment, and indeed it was true that the pirates had no chance of escaping from the deserted island, but just because the Dark Elf leader sneezed uncontrollably while assassinating them stealthily, revealing their tracks, which allowed a few pirates to narrowly escape.
It's really great! Lin Taiping could only stare at the sky in silence, what could he say? He really didn't want to say anything anymore.
It turned out that the power of that bucket of cold water was so great that it even made the beautiful woman who had sworn to have children for herself fall down helplessly in front of the virus, and she still hadn't recovered after all this time, and it even affected the assassination mission...
However, thinking about it, it's not strange that in the Middle Ages of Europe, there were large-scale outbreaks of influenza infections, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. In this world similar to the European Middle Ages, where medical conditions are really poor, it seems normal that the dark elf beauty was knocked down by a sudden outbreak of epidemic flu without any medicine.
But then again, if the unlucky Dark Troll tribe were to be wiped out by Bloodsail Buccaneers due to this chain reaction caused by a cold, I would indeed be guilty of a grave sin, and might even be resented by that beautiful woman for the rest of her life.
What's more important is that I risked coming back to the Devil Island, in short, it was just for finding this group of Dark Elves. If that Blood-eyed Captain got his hands on them first, then the next big money-making plan...
With a thoughtful expression, stroking his chin, he suddenly patted Edward on the shoulder and stood up with an air of satisfaction: "Alright, dear Mr. Edward, can you tell me when Captain Blood is likely to arrive at that deserted island?"
"This will be in about three days, because he still needs to gather the nearby pirates." Edward replied subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened in unbelievable shock.
In an instant, realizing that this damned little white face was also going to that deserted island, Edward suddenly couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
My god! This must be the blessing of the gods, this brainless pretty boy is actually going to foolishly deliver himself to our doorstep, this is just too wonderful, Blood Eye will definitely give him a good lesson, when that time comes...
"Are you saying that by then, you'll be able to avenge yourself?" Lin Taiping seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled, revealing eight white teeth. "The good news is, you're right; the bad news is, I plan on taking you with me."
Very good, very powerful. Edward's smile instantly solidified. Even if he used his knees to think, he knew what would happen to him next. At that time, this damn little white face would definitely use himself as a shield and might even stab him twice in anger.
"Correct, unfortunately there's no reward." Lin Taiping nodded in great approval and waved his hand, "It's settled then. When I meet Captain Bloodshot, I'll be happy to tell him that Mr. Edward helped me a lot."
"No!" Edward let out a despairing cry, as if he would have gladly jumped into the sea and drowned himself on the spot.
But before he had a chance to jump into the sea, Tulu grabbed his collar and dragged him straight into the driver's cabin. "Moo! I like this plan, I'm going to rob that bloodshot guy until he's left with nothing but his pants, then sell all those valuable things and exchange them for my latest favorite roasted camel."
Roasted camel? Lin Taiping suddenly became solemn and respectful. To think that when they first arrived on Rhodes Island, the bull-headed people were still infatuated with roasted chicken and duck, and later fell in love with roasted whole sheep. Who would have thought that just half a month later, they had already fallen head over heels for roasted camel? If this continues, will we see roasted elephant, roasted whale, or even roasted dragon?
Putting aside his complaints, the fleet set off again soon, but unlike before, all humans on this ship except Lin Taiping have now become miserable slaves, who can only drive the ships honestly under the brutal threat of totem stone pillars and flat-bottomed pots, heading towards Devil's Island at top speed.
Day and night continuous navigation, nothing unexpected happened, but when passing a small commercial island, Lin Taiping ordered to temporarily dock to replenish supplies, and he himself rushed into the city, holding the 50,000 gold coins that Mr. Edward "voluntarily" handed over, and made a large purchase on this small commercial island, buying all the magic crystals that could be found.
To know that there was only one magic material shop on this small island, so when the owner saw such a big business, he almost burst into tears and rushed to hug his thighs.
After that, the fleet did not delay at all and set sail again immediately. After sailing for a day and a night, they finally arrived at Devil's Island smoothly at noon on the second day.
Under the golden sunlight, Lin Taiping leaned on the ship's railing and gazed far away, watching that familiar white sandy beach getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he recalled when he first arrived here, he was almost robbed by the Minotaur, and then nearly kidnapped by the Dark Elf to bear children...
"It's really nostalgic, isn't it?" He lit a cigar with great emotion and jumped onto the beach with dozens of cow-headed people. "To be honest, this life for over a month has been like a dream."
"Who says it's not?" Turu followed behind, carrying the Totem Stone Pillar, nodding in agreement as he touched his cow horns: "At that time, we were so hungry that we even wanted to eat stones with salt, who would have thought that now we can eat whatever we want? Haha, when I meet those Dark Elves again, I'll definitely take out a big pile of roasted chicken legs and eat them in front of them, one by one."
Can't you be a bit more impressive? Lin Taiping couldn't help but roll his eyes, and let Tulou lead the way in front, passing through the poor tribe where the Cow-headed people originally lived, along the black wasteland all the way north, to the Fallen Leaf Valley where the Dark Elves lived.
Judging from the situation along the way, the pirate group led by Blood-eyed Captain should not have arrived yet. There were no other ships anchored near Devil's Island, and there were no signs of human passage on the road leading to Fallen Leaf Valley, which finally allowed Lin Taiping to let out a sigh of relief.
After several hours, they finally arrived at the Valley of Fallen Leaves, a pitch-black valley filled with rugged rocks and thick layers of yellow fallen leaves that reached up to two or three feet high, making every step echo with a hollow rustling sound.
In the eerie silence, this persistent rustling sound made the valley seem even more ominous and terrifying. Lin Taiping stepped on the dry leaves but suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but turn his head to ask: "Turu, I remember when we met Kristin before, we also captured over a dozen pirates, among them was a bald man, do you know where those guys went?"
"Ah, right." Turu was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately remembered, "Earlier when we passed by our tribe, it seemed like we didn't see that dead light head, they shouldn't have already been...
Speak of Cao Cao and he arrives. Just at this moment, a mournful cry for help suddenly rang out: "Save me! Save me!"
Accompanied by shouts, several pirates stumbled out of the valley, and the leader was actually that bald strong man. However, looking at their current withered and tattered appearance, it's clear that they haven't had a good time lately.
It was as if there was something terrifying behind them, the bald and robust man led several pirates to flee in a panic, but before they could escape for a few steps, more than a dozen charming and seductive dark elves had already jumped up with agility and intercepted their path, giggling and blocking their way.
Tears streaming down their faces! Several pirates couldn't help but burst into tears, suddenly kneeling down on the ground in unison, raising their hands and wailing: "Milord Nightsong, please spare us, this has nothing to do with us!"
"None of your business?" A cold hum filled the air as ripples spread out, and the Dark Elf leader's lithe figure appeared out of thin air.
It's been a long time since I've seen her, the beautiful woman known as Night Song seems even more enchanting than before. Her black gemstone-like eyes sparkle with allure, and the slight upturn of her lips is full of temptation. The tight-fitting silver-white armor can barely conceal her turbulent waves, yet she has an impossibly slender waist that can be grasped in one hand, and long legs that are smooth, slippery, and full of elasticity.
But the problem is, although the alluring beauty was covering her chest with a light hand, and her voice was so sweet and charming, but in the bright eyes of this beautiful woman, she still couldn't hide that flash of anger: "This is all your fault! If it wasn't for you providing the ships, how could that despicable human little white face lead those stupid cows to escape... Ah-choo!"
Just as she was halfway through her words, Ye Ge couldn't help but let out a loud sneeze, which made her even more furious, gritting her teeth in anger. This cold of hers just wouldn't get better, and it seemed to be getting worse by the day. It was all that despicable guy's fault - if he hadn't dumped that huge bucket of cold water on her...
Actually, the more she thought about it, the more Ye Ge felt her nose itching, and she couldn't help but let out a series of sneezes: "Achoo... that despicable guy... Achoo... hopefully he'll never... Achoo... who?"
Her pointed ears twitched slightly, and she seemed to sense something. Her slender hand suddenly rose, and the dark green dagger flew out of her hand. Her figure flashed like a ghost, crossing dozens of meters in an instant, and pounced towards that towering tree: "You sneaky guy, give me... uh?"
It all came so suddenly, but in the next moment, just as he was about to see the hidden figure behind the tree, Yege, who was originally about to launch an attack, suddenly froze in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock.
What happened? A dozen or so dark elves exchanged a glance, and suddenly they all rushed over together. But just a few seconds later, when they saw the scene behind the tree, they were also stunned.
Under the sunset, in the evening breeze, behind that towering tree, surrounded by dozens of cow-headed men, Lin Taiping smiled and puffed on a cigar, leisurely and carefree, as if he had just happened to pass by...
In the eerie silence, amidst a group of dark elves' astonished gazes, he suddenly threw away his cigar, revealing a radiant smile, and opened his arms to warmly welcome them.
"Darling, long time no see, I've come... to give birth to your child!"
