Chapter 55 The Kingdom of Death ([-])

On the deck, the captain had already been soaked by the sea water. When the sailors came to tell him that the lifeboat was ready, he hurried back to his cabin and took the luggage that had been prepared.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found that his wardrobe was flowing from the inside out.

He looked at his room where the floor was wet by sea water, and walked towards the wardrobe inside with some doubts.

At this moment, a violent wave swooped down and hit the ship.

The entire hull jolted violently, and then the ship gradually tilted in the waves.

Feeling the boat tilting, the captain knew that this was a sign that the boat was about to capsize.

At this moment, the goods piled up on the deck fell into the sea one after another, and all the things in the room were squeezed into the corner due to the tilt.

Unprepared, the captain was suddenly pushed to the corner of the room by his old big and comfortable bed. At this moment, he was completely soaked and exhausted, and he simply didn't have the strength to push the hundred-jin bed.

Panting heavily, he stretched out his hand and threw the package full of valuables from his shoulders, in exchange for some space to move freely. At the same time, he blocked the bed with his hands, waiting for someone to rescue him.

While he was waiting anxiously, his wardrobe door suddenly opened.

A wet little girl came out from inside. She had black hair and black eyes, and she looked like a native of Betis Island.

The captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Good girl, come to me quickly! I need your help!"

The little girl looked sideways at him, as if she just realized that there was someone here.

She looked at him with clear eyes and asked, "Are you a good person?"

The captain was taken aback for a moment, he opened his mouth to say that he was a good person, but suddenly the plan that he was about to coax the little girl over and ask her to help him cover the bed so that he could escape and leave suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, if he hesitated because of this, then he would not be a shrewd old captain.

"Of course I'm a good man! Good boy, come and help me, I'm dying!"

Then he clutched his chest, feigning pain.

There was a sneer in the little girl's eyes, but it was only for a moment.

"But I'm a pig, can a pig save people? Otherwise, why did you throw them all into the sea before?"

The expression of pain on the old captain's face froze for a moment.

In a moment of impatience, he forgot that apart from him, the crew and the cargo, there were only those pigs from Bitis Island on board.

But weren't all the pigs tricked out of the cabin by him and thrown into the sea to lighten the load?
How could there be a little piglet left here?

"I asked you to come here, are you deaf?!"

The old captain who tore off his kind face suddenly revealed his true colors.

Seeing him revealing Lin Shu's original face, she couldn't help but click her tongue. She walked to the luggage he had thrown out just now, and picked it up.

The old captain watched her carrying the treasures he had accumulated all his life on his shoulders lightly, and felt like bleeding from his heart.

"Stop, come back! Do you hear me! I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you return my package! Hey, do you hear me? Are you deaf?!"

The old captain, who had already become angry from embarrassment, suddenly pushed the bed away with strength from nowhere, and rushed towards Lin Shu.

The man with his back to the old captain dodged and kicked open the cabin door. The old captain slid out of the cabin and onto the deck, stepping on the slippery ground.

When he covered his sprained waist with one hand and chased after him, Lin Shu had already climbed into the lifeboat below along the rope on the ship's side.

The old captain was in a hurry right now, as soon as he got out of the cabin and saw that the deck was empty, he knew that the group of crew members had abandoned him.

The little lifeboat in front of me was definitely the last one.

However, when he turned over and wanted to go down, his just sprained waist began to hurt violently again, and he couldn't turn over the horizontal bar in front of him at all.

The old captain, who could only watch Lin Shu cut off the cable and leave, couldn't help shouting, "Take me! Come back and take me! Did you hear me! I'll give you everything as long as you come back!"

But all he was left with was Lin Shu's back.

Among the waves, he seemed to see a gray round object on the shoulder of the girl from Beatis Island, but he didn't know what it was.

The waves are getting faster and faster.

This time, the "Huahuang" finally failed to hold on, and completely overturned on the sea.

The old captain desperately grabbed the railing of the ship, desperately praying for the blessing of the gods.

He was wrong, he was really wrong, he shouldn't be greedy for those goods, and there would be no such things if he abandoned the ship early and left.

And the patrol team, they are also irresponsible for this matter!
He must go back, he still has his wife and children at home waiting for him to go back!

The old captain thought of all the reasons why he could pray to the gods, but he only forgot those so-called pigs who were thrown into the sea by his order, and they also forgot that they were like him before they were thrown into the sea to die. When praying to God like begging him to let them go.

The completely overturned ship took in a lot of water and began to sink gradually. The old captain, who was forced to climb up from the railing, was still desperately shouting at the distant patrol, begging for help.

At this moment, he felt a person suddenly appear behind him. Before he could turn around, the person pressed somewhere on his body, and he was unable to move immediately.

The visitor's voice was extremely cold, "Have you ever seen a gray animal appear on the sea?"

Gray animals?
The old captain who couldn't turn his head thought again and again, he seemed to have seen a gray thing on the shoulder of the runaway piglet.He wasn't sure, but what did that matter?

"Yes, I saw that thing, the little gray one, standing on top of a pig from Bisti Isle, going ashore."

The old captain's voice was urgent, and he wished that this person would take him to chase Lin Shu immediately. Naturally, he did not forget to add, "If your lord wants to go find it, I'm willing to help you!"

"No need."

The voice behind him fell, and he kicked the old captain and kicked him into the sea.

The old captain, unable to move, opened his eyes wide and slowly sank into the sea.

Even to his death, he did not understand why the sage kicked him into the sea.

And the far-off venerable knew in his heart that sea beasts disliked the smell of humans the most, otherwise they wouldn't have to spend so much effort to hunt and tame them, let alone on the shoulders of some pigs.

Those who dared to deceive His Majesty could only end up dead.

When Lin Shu went ashore, she cleverly stuffed her backpack into her clothes, and the person in charge of the inspection at the city gate couldn't see anything at all.

"Show me the pass."

A curly-haired guard more than half her height blocked Lin Shu's way, and the latter took out a small notebook and handed it in.

It had been soaked with water, and the original writing on it was blurred.It's just that the passing seal of Moduo Kingdom engraved on it is still faintly visible, which she also took from the captain.

"Why are you so wet all over?"

After seeing the seal on the book, the curly-haired guard returned the book to Lin Shu.

Such a young girl was wet all over and had her head lowered, which could easily make him think of some bad things.

"I just got back from the sea and got into... shipwreck."

The language here is one that Lin Shu has never been exposed to, and the accent is made by the tongue and throat.

If she hadn't received the original owner's memory in advance, she wouldn't have understood what this chattering person was talking about.

The curly-haired guard raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He also knew about the patrol team going out early in the morning.

It's just that he hasn't come back yet. Could it be that it was really a large-scale shipwreck?
While he was still distracted, Lin Shu had already walked into the city with her head down.

This is the city closest to the sea in Moduo Kingdom. There are several huge characters engraved on the right side of the city gate, which together mean "Shell City".

"Hey, new here."

As soon as Lin Shu entered the city, a sloppy man walked towards her.

The other party's cry was ignored by her. When he wanted to get closer to her, Lin Shu suddenly quickened her pace and ran into an alley.

Shell City's architecture doesn't live up to its name.

Most of the houses here are made of rammed earth, about three or four stories high. Most of the people's walls are painted in sky blue, pink and white. These colors complement each other and look very good.

Although this city looks beautiful, there are countless trails extending in all directions, and in every trail, a person who wants to rob you may appear at any time and anywhere.

She must leave the city quickly.

Lin Shu, who was running rapidly in the trail, had this thought flashing through her mind.

The situation in this life is the most complicated she has encountered so far.

The original owner was secretly sent by her mother on a boat from Bisti Island to the Motuo Kingdom. Because the resources on that small island were poor, women's status was extremely low, and they would even be reduced to food when they were hungry.

Her mother believed that in the big country on the other side of the sea—Moduo Country, the women there did not have such a fate, and her daughter could live a good life as long as she went there.

So the original owner obeyed his mother's arrangement and boarded the boat.

When the Huahuang was sailing for more than half a month and was about to dock, it also encountered the shipwreck just now.

When she was completely submerged in the sea, the whole hull just tilted, and a big hole was broken in the bottom of the damaged boat. She got out from there, grabbed a large plank and floated all the way to the shore.

But as soon as she got ashore, she found that she didn't have a pass to enter the city, and she found that no one from Betis Island who was crowded in the cabin with her at that time went ashore except her.

Later, when the captain and others got on the escape boat and returned to the city, they also saw the original owner. The original owner begged them to take her away. However, these people had no idea that a pig actually escaped from the boat.

What's more, the other pigs from Beatis Island had long been ordered to be thrown into the sea by the captain, so it was impossible for him to take away the original owner.

So the guards first continued to detain the original owner, and after a few days of detention to confirm that she was unaccompanied here, they auctioned her off as goods picked up from a shipwreck.

Since then, the original owner has been labeled as a slave and has been resold continuously.She even had to learn more languages ​​and skills to attract and please some slave owners who were willing to pay a high price for her.

Moduo country is a country using customary law.

They will use extremely cruel means to punish escaped slaves, but... these are not the most terrifying things in this land.

In the vast country of Moduo, the group of high-ranking nobles who have the right to dominate the country have the terrorist power to overthrow the country.

Under the nobles, the civilians from the first class to the seventh class are nothing but ants.

Lin Shu, who walked through countless alleys, reached out and rubbed her half-dry hair.

She recalled the experience of the original owner just now, but she did not find the murderer who killed her. In this country, it seems that anyone can put the original owner to death, including her now.

"Are you new here?"

The voice behind her made Lin Shu, who wanted to stop and take a rest, run away without looking back.
