Chapter 17 Ceremony (1)
Two days later, the savage woke up, but his spirit seemed to be greatly affected. He often sat quietly in the same place like a stone statue for a day. When he talked to him, his answers were always inconsistent. Once he mentioned the questions related to the ceremony, he would immediately panic, hugged his head, digging a hole in the ground and burying his head, and no matter how hard others tried, he could not pull him out.
Ella asked the ship doctor to treat him, but the ship doctor suggested an exorcism ceremony, which was to tie the savages and whip them hard, threatening the devil to leave.
Naturally, this proposal was rejected by Ella.
The witch doctors of the Aztlands also came to join in the fun. After checking the savage's condition, they immediately ran to the river to take a shower, and then ran back without any medicine. They just danced around the savage and tickled for a long time until they were drunk by Tessomok-
"Where do you have the confidence to practice medicine in front of the messengers of the Feathered Snake God? The God Messenger is helpless. Are you the ones who are turning to make a fool of themselves?"
Ella was a little surprised. Through her indirect attacks, she learned that in Aztland, disease is regarded as the displeasure or anger of the gods, and the effect of herbs is only to relieve the patient's pain and will be invalidated by God's will. Therefore, doctors must pray, fast, and sacrifice when curing the disease to seek tolerance of the gods. And if God must make someone die of sin, it is useless to use no amount of herbs.
——No wonder Ella, who can cure the Black Death, is considered a messenger of God.
Neither doctor can play a role. In this case, it is impossible to let the savage perform the ritual again.
Fortunately, the island has been traveling west smoothly in the days that followed, and there has been no storm.
The flying Zelan still ran aground on the beach, but no one cared about it. Sitting on an island that would sail automatically to Aztland, it saves much more effort than controlling the ship. The ship was always on the shore, and it was just enough to kill sea worms at the bottom of the ship.
According to the original plan, the island was to build a castle, develop wasteland, and form a long-term stronghold. However, after experiencing the rise and fall of the island, the plan was abandoned after consultation by the staff. It was still too risky to build a city on such monsters. Just like the staff used by Quelakiri to tame Movara Niga, once it was accidentally pulled out, Movara Niga lost control.
There is no need to drive a boat or build it. This kind of life is too leisurely, and the pirates have to find all kinds of other things to do.
In the staff team, Yarmal, who was born as a guard, had a strong interest in hot air balloons. After obtaining Ella's permission, he moved all the hot air balloons on the flying Shiram to the wilderness and began to conduct various flight training for soldiers: the first item was to cast objects in the air. Yarmald used dyed stones instead of ocean fire, and drew circles of targets on the ground, allowing pirates to accurately throw stones into the target when flying by on the hot air balloon; the second item was aerial reconnaissance. The pirates on the hot air balloon should find as many soldiers lurking on the ground as possible to improve the ability to collect information on the ground; the third item was not related to hot air balloons, called long-distance running, and the distance was uncertain, and it may also become swimming or rock climbing depending on the situation - after all, the course of the hot air balloon is not completely controlled by the soldiers.
The training was fruitful. When Ella went to inspect, the pirates floated over her head in hot air balloons, and the thrown stones shaped like a "V" on the ground.
Ulf, who was born in the college, was interested in that "tank". This was an unfinished test piece for graduates of the college. It was surrounded by iron sheets, and the copper bear head on the head would spit fire. He relied on his feet to push the wheels in the iron sheets forward. When Ella went to Britain to save Alfred, she felt that it might be useful, so she kept loading it on the boat and never took it out again. After all, its shortcomings were also obvious: the turning range was small, the structure was not solid, and it could not be braked.
Ulf studied this thing for more than half a month, and finally added a brake device to the thing. As long as a lever is pulled, a horizontal bar will be inserted into the middle of the spokes "click" to prevent the wheel from continuing to rotate forward.
Ulf excitedly showed her improvements to Principal Ella. He waved his hand and rode away with the three pirates on the tank, then walked back with some parts from unknown parts, with blue and purple on his face.
"As soon as the brake is pressed, the tank flips forward, and we are thrown out of our seats," Ulf complained, rubbing the bruises on his face, "What a strange thing, what's wrong?"
"The stones thrown vertically on the hot air balloon will continue to fly forward after leaving the hot air balloon, and the sails falling from the moving ship will fall directly under the mast. Your 'tank' wheel stops, but the body on the car is not stopped yet. Wouldn't it be thrown out?" Ella said, "It should be much better to install your device on the rear wheel."
"It's really strange. Isn't the car body driven by the wheels? The wheels have stopped and the car body is still moving forward?" Ulf scratched his head and left in front of Ella to himself.
Estrard, who was born in general, applied to Ella to hold a competition to give a generous reward to the team that set up the largest number of stone throwers on the coast in the shortest time.
"What are you doing with a stone thrower on the coast?" Ella asked, "Hasn't you decided not to build fortifications on this island?"
"Defensive fortifications are not allowed, offensive fortifications are still needed," said Estrard. "A circle of trenchers is no greater than the flying Eslams?"
Ella nodded immediately and set up a new award to the team that made the most powerful trenchers.
As for Dust, who was a gangster, he kept betting on money in the entertainment room of the flying zealander and the Lübecks. According to news from Amy, he even lost his sword.
In short, with Movara Ni and this movable island, the journey in the second half is much more comfortable than in the first half. Time passes quietly, and everything seems so quiet and peaceful until-
"The food is finished!"
Ella's wailing sounded on the island.
For an army of nearly two thousand people, the food in the wild is really limited. And the food brought by Ella from Sweden is almost finished.
"Your Majesty, you haven't finished it yet!" Amy ran over with a pile of bread in a panic, "Look, we still have black bread, with delicious bark added to it! There is also vegetable soup, burned with weeds picked on the ground..."
"I want to eat meat! Meat!"
"But there are no large-scale fauna on the island, and the only ones running in the wilderness are the hot air balloon troops..."
"Then eat birds! Catch birds and eat!" Ella rushed out of the camp, pointed to the seagulls flying in the sky and said, "I will eat these seagulls tonight!"
Amy's face showed a hint of embarrassment:
"The seagull cannot be smashed with a trencher, why don't I let the hot air balloon troops try... Wait, seagull?"
There are many birds inhabiting the island of Mevaraniga, but there are no seagulls among them.
Ella also reacted:
"Where is the lookout? What is the lookout doing--a, by the way, this is not on the ship. Amy, take my Eye of Hermes!"
