Chapter 48 Can't Go?
At this moment, Galeno's weak and helpless expression made them feel moved. Not to mention the two boys, even the two girls couldn't help but glance over frequently.
The sky had unknowingly darkened, and a faint explosive sound came from the fire pit, as if Garo suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head, looked around with misty eyes, then raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling a bit strange, just now he was in a daze, what's going on?
Jia Luo didn't know that, due to a sudden realization of the third layer of Xiāo Mó Jīng, his consciousness began to merge with this world. The power of Qiān Niàn Jiè lies in the thousands of feelings between heaven and earth, so wandering through the universe is also a kind of introspection for oneself.
"Miss, can you come over and chat for a bit?" The one who spoke up was that elf girl. Her face had a strange expression, with a mix of anticipation, worry, and fear.
Looking at this girl, Garro suddenly discovered his own weakness. Facing a girl who looked like Yueliang, he couldn't bear to say a word of rejection.
Although this spirit and Ice Moon can be said to have nothing in common, if Ice Moon hadn't died, I reckon she would have been about the same as her. How could I possibly go harm Ice Moon's heart then?
Nodding slightly, Gallo stood up and walked over to the other side of the river, gently sitting down beside the elf girl.
Her excited little face was slightly red, and upon closer inspection, Gallo's visual impact on others was even greater. With her icy skin and elegant bones, she exuded an aura of cold pride, yet simply sitting there quietly already gave off a captivating feeling that stirred people's hearts.
"Sister, what's your name? How did you end up with... that hornless cow?" The tone seemed to convey a very bad impression of Luo.
"He is my companion." Gallo quietly said a sentence, immediately causing a greater reflection "What? Miss, do you know what the meaning of the broken horned cow is?"
"It was the monk who said, 'The Bull of Broken Horns is a cursed creature. Everyone who stays with it will fall into the trap of death.' This is what the High Priest of the Holy Church has said. Don't you know that? It's better for you to leave him as soon as possible. Who knows when he'll go mad, and then, miss, what will you do?"
Garro's mouth curved into a smile "I think, there's nothing more to say, goodbye." He stood up, Garro returned to his original place, leaned lightly against the tree, and in a moment, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
The four of them stared at Galo in shock, and the ignored mage clenched his teeth, his face full of resentment. But as soon as his companions turned their heads, he immediately retracted his expression, but in his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied.
"Damn it, just a stinky girl. If we didn't have a mission now, wait for me, this matter won't be over like this." The narrow-mindedness had planted a deep thorn in the heart of this Taoist.
One night without words, when the four of them woke up, Gallo and his men had already left.
On the road, Luo Yi still held that thick and large fighting totem pole. "Why don't you just tell them? They're right, history has recorded it, everyone who was with the Broken Horned Bull ended up dying in war. Leave me, and go with those people like you instead."
"I don't believe in fate, nor do I believe in curses. Because I only believe that every life's destiny belongs to itself. What others say doesn't matter, I won't care." Gallo added another sentence "Because we are of the same kind, forever unable to be accepted existence."
Port city, Livorno. Here, every day, thousands of ships enter and exit, and countless people work here for survival. Every day is filled with boundless vitality.
"What a lively place." Gallo put his mask back on, and Luo also made some unnecessary makeup to avoid trouble. Gallo used alchemy to create a fake broken horn and put it on Luo's head, making him look like an ordinary Minotaur warrior.
"What's going on here?" Gallo asked, handing over the question to Luo as she was completely unfamiliar with this place.
He touched the fake cow horn, and it was indeed a bit uncomfortable. "Ah, if we're going to Death God's Island, ordinary methods won't work because no one will send themselves to death, let alone ordinary sailors. It's completely impossible to get them to agree. So usually, we can only go find a black ship. By the way, do you have money? If we want to find a black ship, the other party is all vampires, and they won't agree unless they make a lot of money."
Ka Luo nodded "As for the money, don't worry, I still have a lot." Indeed not little, no need to mention others, most of the mountain bandits' money is in his own dimensional space, should be enough.
"Alright, let's go to the tavern here first, there might be better clues there." Luo Gang turned around "Oh right, I forgot to mention, this city doesn't have any military, only tax collectors, so it seems that dark forces are very powerful, don't stir up trouble."
After asking someone nearby, under their guidance, the two of them arrived at a wine house, an underground wine house. The entrance was very low, and they had to walk down for over ten meters before finding the entrance. Pushing open the door, a wave of heat and noise, mixed with countless thick smells of wine, rushed towards them.
The tavern business wasn't very good, with only a few people in, but it seemed those adventurers were naturally fond of lively places and just a few people could make a huge noise.
Two women came to the bar and were greeted by a bartender with two small mustaches.
"Wow, Minotaur warrior, it's been a long time since I've seen someone as special as you. What can I get for you?" The bartender looked like he was in a good mood and quite relaxed, first pouring two cups of water and handing them over.
"Give me whatever you like, as long as it's a fruit-based drink. What about you?" He turned to Gallo.
"I'm fine too." The calm and gentle voice seemed to stun the bartender for a moment.
"Alright, coming right up." Before long, two cups of pale yellow liquid were brought over. Ka Luo pulled out a gold coin. "I have some things I'd like to ask about, can I?"
The bartender also figured it out, and of the two, Gallo was clearly the leader. He glanced at the gold coin "Generous offer, but looking at this, the money doesn't seem easy to make. You first, what's the story?"
"I want to find a boat and go somewhere."
"Looking for a boat?" The bartender strokes his small beard with his hand. "If you're looking for a boat, you can go straight to the dock. With your spending power, it should be easy to find one."
"No, I'm going somewhere special, so I plan to find a black ship to take us there." Gallo pushed the gold coins over "Tell me, where can we find that ship, and this is yours."
The bartender looked at Galo, "The place you want to go seems quite special. Tell me the general direction, there are many black ship owners here, but at least tell me which position you want to go to, so I can introduce someone to you."
"Island of the Death God."
The four words were like a thunderbolt, the bartender's face changed greatly "You... where are you going?!" Hurriedly pushing the money back "Sorry, I didn't know that was a place that can't be gone to. There is no one here who has a boat that goes there, except for the dead."
Two people left the tavern, Luo scratched his head "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome, is it really that no one is willing to go?"
Jia Luo suddenly stopped in his tracks "Is someone following us?"
"Hmm, I guess it's because we said we're going to the Island of the Dead that they're like this." Rose didn't mind at all, after all, this was also very normal.
"Let's go find a quiet place, maybe we can get something useful done."
A quiet patch of grass, Gallo and Luo waited for the people following them to arrive. Soon, dozens of people appeared in their line of sight. "Hmm, there are quite a few people, it seems that the people here do have some connection with the Island of the Dead, but if they still don't speak up, what will you do?"
"The bartender said earlier that only dead people go there. I don't care, let's create a few more dead people then." Gallo quietly looked ahead.
Dozens of burly men in black came over, the leader holding a large knife "What are you people, where did you come from, why do you want to go to Death God Island, speak quickly!"
"Be quiet, you're being too loud." Garo said "I just want to know, do you have a way to get to the Island of the Dead God, or a ship?"
"Boss, don't ask anymore, even if they're not the devils of Death Island, they must be related somehow. Let's catch them first and talk later!" Dozens of people charged forward, wielding their weapons.
"Alright, it's yours, Luo."
