Chapter 20 lets party~~
The sky was getting darker, leaving only a blood-red outline hidden behind the horizon. Half of the night was dyed with an uneasy red, and even the air became heavy and sticky.

The wooden boards underfoot would squeak from time to time, and as soon as you stepped onto the deck, you could smell a damp and decaying smell.The lights on the boat were not too bright, with only a few rickety oil lamps hanging high up. As the only source of light, no flying insects could be seen.

Under this dim light, other scattered crew members on the ship were preparing to sail.The sight was inexplicably piercing, but when they looked back, the crew quickly looked back, leaving only a few shadows standing beside the ship in the night wind.

When the wooden door of the cabin was opened, the hanging wind chime rang, and a black shadow stood in front of Tan Xi. She looked over, and the tips of her curly hair like seaweed were outlined with fine golden light by the light. The man leaned over and looked at her. He whispered in his ear: "Xiangu, the people on this ship are weird, you have to be careful."

Do you even need to say that?She cursed in her heart, but she still nodded on the surface. The short-haired young man who came out of the cabin closely behind him, with a cheerful smile on his face with small freckles, opened the door to them, and the dark passage was revealed in front of them.

"Xiangu, and Ali! We have prepared a dinner for you, come and try it!"

They followed them to the canteen on the bed, which was very spacious and bright. The canteen that could accommodate an entire ship's crew would not be too small.The long wooden tables and benches are arranged neatly, but there is a large square table in the middle with several tables put together. Hot roasted chicken, grilled fish, vegetables, and pasta have already been placed on it. The table looked as sumptuous as a banquet was about to be held.

There were other crew members in the mess hall. They gathered around the table and cheered for their arrival. They were all chattering and bustling. It was so noisy that it was like the irrelevant background sound of passers-by in the game. No one would pay attention to what they looked like. Or said something.

This may be what Makinoli meant when he said "they are weird".

The old man was already sitting at the table, looking at them.Under the young man's greeting, Tan Xi and Makino Liya sat down together. The enthusiastic crew members stuffed wine glasses into their hands, and they were filled with wine in no time.

The short-haired young man raised his glass and shouted: "We will set off after finishing this meal! Fairy Girl, Ali, thank you!"

"Thank you!" The other crew members also rushed forward and drank all the drinks in their glasses.

Makino approached Tan Xi, his smile a little stiff: "...What should we do, do we want to drink too?"

Tan Xi glanced at him and curled her lips.Under this high-profile atmosphere, he put the wine glass back on the table and clasped his hands: "I don't drink."

"...Then, let's eat something--"

"I've gone off the grain." She didn't mean to apologize at all, and looked like you couldn't help me. "You can eat this meal, and I'll just watch from the side."

"..."

The atmosphere hit rock bottom. These people's expressions were stiff and they were silent. They all focused on Makinoli.

I have a bad feeling.

He took a step back and was hugged by the hospitable elder brother, who had already put a wine glass into his mouth.

"In this case, this little brother can't shirk it!"

"Drink! Have another drink!"

"Good drinker!"

Makinoli: "Gulu-lu-lu--" Help!He won't drink to death here today, right? !
...

After the party was over, Tan Xi carried the dizzy Makinoli to the room prepared by the crew and threw him on the bed. She looked out the window.

Sure enough, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.But the hull began to shake slightly, and there was a faint sound of waves...

They sailed on the sea, and the weak candlelight in the room swayed slightly.Tan Xi heard an uncomfortable low groan coming from the other side of the bed. She turned around and saw the dark-skinned man clinging to the bed. The braids and clothes on his head were rubbed apart. The golden lines on his skin were now in full bloom. It was faintly glowing and shining, but there was an abnormal flush on the face.His limbs were slender and strong, but at this moment they were curled up tightly into a ball. The soft quilt was clutched in the palm of his hand, and his knuckles were white and trembling with force.Tan Xi stepped forward and saw that his body was covered with a thin layer of sweat, his eyelashes were trembling, and he was shouting something in nonsense that she couldn't understand.

It seems that the side effects of drinking so much "wine" are taking effect.

Tan Xi smiled out of his sight, raised her hand to wipe his sweat, and then opened the door.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help? Now... the time has come."

...

After drinking so much wine, Makino was successfully drunk. His head and whole body were dizzy and he couldn't exert any strength.But there was always a fragrance on the tip of his nose that maintained his last touch of sanity - it was the scent of Fairy Girl. If she was by his side, he would have nothing to fear.

Makino felt that he had a very good drinking capacity. When he was in Xiqi, he almost never encountered opponents.The more people drank, the more confused they became. The more he drank, the more sober he became, so they would keep feeding him wine. Low-quality, spicy wine was not good to drink at all. It only passed through the throat and entered the stomach. It can leave a burning sensation in the nose, so he doesn't like drinking.

A hand gently brushed his forehead. Makino opened his eyes and saw Eminem's old and vicissitudes, but extremely gentle face.

"Ali, you Ata said that the mountains, fields, forests, and seas in the Central Plains are much prettier than the sand here, and even better than today's starry sky. When you grow up, you must go and see it with your own eyes!"

"If you can leave Xiqi, you must go out. Our little Ali shouldn't be trapped here, trapped in these messy disputes..."

"The Fire Lord Sacrifice is about to begin again...Ali, don't look at it, and don't get close to it."

Xiqi has been invaded by war all year round, but when he was just 12 years old, the war ended with the Nabulun clan obtaining the Fire Lord Code, and using this code to claim kingship and power.The dispersed people of Xiqi turned to seek refuge with the Bulun clan. However, if you want to receive protection, you must offer your loyalty and faith to the Lord of Fire——

Dedicate everything to the supreme fire lord, and Saman will grant you the blessing of nirvana and rebirth.

His Atta became a follower of the Fire Lord in exchange for the right of mother and son to live in the clan territory.

The flames burned the earth, and countless people sang and sang in the fire, burning the sky red, until the cracked sand was stained with burnt and purple marks, and people's cheers soared into the sky along with the thick smoke and residual heat.

It's so hot.

He thought about it as he took off his outer shirt, and saw the dazzling golden lines carved on his chest, waist, abdomen, and back. Every line was a testament to the pain he had endured.He is 19 years old this year, and only the last full sun of the "Fire Sun Totem" is not tattooed, but it should be tattooed on his forehead and between his eyebrows, so that his eyes can only look at the sun forever.

Someone said to him: "You will be 20 years old next year, right? You will finally be able to participate in the Fire Lord's sacrifice next year. This is the highest honor. Be happy, cheer, and become a believer of the Fire Lord!"

But he hasn't fulfilled Eminem's wish yet. He hasn't seen the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains yet. He doesn't want to remember only this place filled with yellow sand.

He stole a camel, escaped from Xiqi, and ran all the way east, wanting to go to Atta's hometown, which he heard was an island.

The sea... Makino realized that he was already on the ship. He stood on the deck and saw the endless blue and clear sea. The bow of the ship broke through the waves, and the waves splashed like stars escaping in all directions. It felt cool and moist.

Very different from the hot and dry desert.

This was the sea he longed for, with rippling blue waves and sparkling water. He... wanted to jump in.

There was wind coming towards him, and the salty sea breeze squeezed into his nose. He looked at the reflection on the water and took a step forward——
