Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 94 Princess Bakla in Coma

In the office of the Valkyrie, under the dull gaze of Yun Ji and the Magic Mirror, the whip in Cheng Lang's hand turned snow-white in the blink of an eye, and Princess Bakara in the gel in the coffin also seemed to have turned a little darker in an instant.

But it was also just a moment, the whip in Cheng Lang's hand turned as black as ink again, and soon after, the tip of the whip was pulled out from the wound on Princess Bakara's abdomen.

"Pfft!"

Before anyone could react, Cheng Lang fell to the ground and became motionless, and the whip in his hand disappeared silently. At the same time, the Wanghai Teng that had been going crazy outside also stopped moving.

"What happened to the captain?" Yun Ji came back to her senses and asked.

"The Captain is probably fine."

The magic mirror said calmly at this time, "Miss Yunji, the eternal state in the coffin has been broken. No matter what happens next, we must first carry the princess out.

I don't know if my premonition is correct, but I think the princess may still have a chance to survive, or rather, maybe our captain didn't kill her, but saved her instead."

"So, are we... our captain caught up in a vast conspiracy?"

While Yun Ji was speaking, she had already bent down, taken the princess out of the eternal coffin and placed her on the desk.

"I don't know," the magic mirror said worriedly, "I'm just a mirror."

"Mr. Mirror, I need the Elven Healing Potion."

"I'll prepare it for you right away."

Before the magic mirror finished speaking, Yun Ji had already reached behind Princess Bakara's ear. After groping for a while, she pulled hard and tore off a hypocritical mask.

"Princess Bakra turns out to have silver hair"

Yun Ji lifted Princess Bakla's hair and looked at her ears. "They're not pointed ears. It looks like she's a mixed-race, a very beautiful one."

"You can guess. The most beautiful princess can make flowers grow around her. Isn't this description very appropriate for an elf?"

Without waiting for Yun Ji's reply, the magic mirror added, "But she probably doesn't have too much elven blood, otherwise she wouldn't be able to become a captain."

"There's another question."

As Yun Ji spoke, she had already pulled out a dagger and cut open the cloth around Princess Bakara's abdominal wound. Then she took out a row of elven healing potions, crushed them and sprinkled them into the wound.

"what is the problem?"

Before Magic Mirror finished speaking, a gorilla came running up from the captain's bedroom holding a box of elven healing potions.

"It's well known that Princess Bakra possesses the ability to make flowers grow within a certain radius. But how did someone impersonating her manage to possess the same ability granted by the Ship's Heart?"

As Yun Ji spoke, she had already taken out a row of golden glass tubes from Princess Bakla's leather bag. "What a luxury! I've only ever heard of this kind of golden healing potion."

As she spoke, Yun Ji had already pulled them out and put them into the drawer of the captain's office. She only broke the last golden healing potion she pulled out and sprinkled it on the wound, and then used her hands to open the wound a little roughly to let the potion seep in.

After doing all this, Yun Ji closed the drawer reluctantly, then broke one bottle of Valkyrie's own healing potion after another and sprinkled them around the princess's wound.

It was unknown what kind of potion was working, but the wound on Princess Bakara's abdomen was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, Yun Ji had already begun to search the princess' body with some familiarity.

Unfortunately, she only took off a bracelet at the suggestion of the magic mirror.

"And her veil, that's also a good thing." The magic mirror reminded, seemingly in no hurry to answer Yun Ji's previous question.

"Give this princess some dignity."

Yun Ji glanced at Cheng Lang and said, "Do you need some golden healing potions for our captain?"

"It's best not to move him at this time," the magic mirror seemed to have seen something, "just let him lie there."

Hearing this, Yun Ji nodded, "Mr. Magic Mirror, you haven't answered the question just now."

"Scapegoat"

The magic mirror didn't answer until this moment. "When a surrogate puppet transfers fatal damage, it also transfers all contracts from its host. However, the ship's core determines whether a contract is valid based on the captain's death."

"Including and boat heart"

"Yes, including the contract with the heart of the ship."

The Magic Mirror sighed, "I'm almost certain this was a premeditated assassination, because of the scapegoat and the Eternal Coffin.

The princess's former ship would almost certainly treat anyone who first touched its heart as its captain, granting them the same abilities."

"What if the princess wakes up?" asked Yun Ji.

“There’s no point in waking up.”

The magic mirror said, "The ship's heart has no logical thinking, it only recognizes the contract. The ship's heart may continue to give the princess the same abilities, but it may have already taken away her abilities."

In other words, the only bond between her and the ship's heart is life and death. Her only way to check the impostor is to commit suicide.

Only when she dies will the imposter lose the abilities granted to her by the Ship's Heart. But the imposter probably no longer needs the useless abilities bestowed upon Princess Bakra of the Principality of Ricca by the Ship's Heart.

At this point, the magic mirror asked a question that left Yun Ji bewildered. "Miss Yun Ji, do you think the princess lying on the table is the same Princess Bakla?"

"Isn't it?" Yun Ji asked back.

"is it?"

The Magic Mirror asked back, "Her looks were stolen, her ship and the signature abilities granted to her by the ship's heart were stolen, and even her time was stolen.

Princess Bakla is now defined as a 40-year-old, beloved captain of the royal guard and the queen of the King of Boerland.

She has enough skills and abilities, and she once massacred the rebels who had different voices in the Lika royal family, but she is definitely not a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

And what about this princess before us? She might still be the spoiled child who just escaped to the pirate town."

"Indeed," Yun Ji sighed, "She is indeed not a princess anymore."

"Whether she survives or not, first drip her blood into the shelter ship's lantern behind the sea," the magic mirror reminded. "Whatever she is, just don't cause us any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ji immediately drew out a dagger, pierced Princess Bakara's fingertip, and squeezed out some blood that dripped into the shelter ship's lamp.

After finishing all these, Yun Ji and the magic mirror focused their attention on the only thing they accidentally picked up from Princess Bakara.

"Is this bracelet special?" Yun Ji picked up the bracelet.

In addition to some beautiful small stones of various colors and irregular shapes, this bracelet also has a small bottle smaller than a girl's little finger nail hanging on it.

It was thanks to the magic mirror that Yun Ji noticed the necklace.

"Bottle"

The magic mirror reminded, "Although it's small, it is indeed a ship-in-a-bottle. Or rather, it's a group of ship-in-a-bottles."

"Such a small boat bottle?"

Yun Ji held the bottle, which was only the size of a fingernail, and asked in disbelief, "A set of boat bottles? Are all these small stones boat bottles?"

"This is much more precious than the common boat bottle."

The magic mirror exclaimed, "It can be seen that she is indeed the most favored princess of Lika. This bracelet may be the greatest secret of this Princess Bakla, otherwise it would have been taken away by the person who killed her."

"All right"

Yun Ji threw the bracelet into the drawer of her desk. "So she can survive?"

"If you are willing to give her another golden elven healing potion, there is at least a 90% chance that she will be safe." said the magic mirror.

"What if we use our elf healing potion?" asked Yun Ji.

"At least there's no danger to your life," the magic mirror replied, "but I'm afraid it will take some time for you to recuperate before you wake up."

"Golden healing potions are too precious," Yun Ji said, kindly and generously helping the princess break a few more green elf healing potions. Only after the substitute puppet in Princess Bakla's hand quietly disappeared did she find a blanket to cover her body.

As for the golden healing potion, that was the captain's property. She was at most an apprentice first mate and had no right to use that kind of thing.

Without any psychological pressure, she found an excuse that was completely impeccable. Yun Ji walked back to the side of the Eternal Coffin and reached out to pull out the almost white black elf dagger from the gel.

“The dead inside are still alive”

Yun Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He may be the only one who knows the truth."

"So what happened then?" the magic mirror asked.

"He was practically sucked dry by Mr. Captain"

Yun Ji sighed and said, "He may need a long time to recover before he can tell us the truth."

"I believe we will have no shortage of enemies in the future." The magic mirror said worriedly.

"So what should we do with the two of them?" Yun Ji asked as she pinned the black elf dagger to her waist.

"Send the Captain back to his bedroom."

The magic mirror thought for a moment, "As for the princess, we have enough cabins."

Before he could finish his words, the office door opened and a chimpanzee walked into the office. He picked up the unconscious captain and walked towards the bedroom downstairs as if he knew the place well.

"Is this princess a trouble or an opportunity?" Yun Ji asked as she picked up Princess Bakara from the table.

"I'm afraid this requires the captain to judge."

The magic mirror paused and asked, "Miss Yunji, can I hear your thoughts?"

“Our captain is special.”

Yun Ji, who had already walked to the door, said, "He might be the only person in the entire Star Sea and the Sea of ​​Despair who could have dark elf blood and yet become a captain."

"So?" the magic mirror asked.

"This ship may be the only, and perhaps the last, place for me, my brother, Yafuso, and even more dark elves to stay."

As Yun Ji spoke, she took a step forward and left the office carrying the unconscious princess, "I probably care about the future of this ship more than the captain does."

"The captain will lead us to unlock the secrets of this world," the magic mirror said as a matter of course.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ji said nothing, but just carried Princess Bakara out of the captain's office, arranged her in a separate cabin, and personally stayed by her side.

During the day, the Valkyrie and the Honest Man continued to sail against the wind according to the course that Cheng Lang had directed before he fell into a coma. In the captain's bedroom, Cheng Lang was still unconscious, and even his breathing was extremely weak.

In the cabin, Princess Bakara was also unconscious, but Yun Ji, who was sitting next to her, did not relax her vigilance at all.

During the anxious wait, the sea conditions in the depths of the Sea of ​​Despair were sometimes good and sometimes bad, but time continued to move forward day by day in the tireless and unstoppable voyage.

Finally, at dusk on the fourth day, all the sea-viewing vines on the Valkyrie began to whip and swing uncontrollably again, and all the crew members immediately hid in the relatively safe cabin with their heads in their hands.

"Teacher Magic Mirror, is the captain awake?" In the cabin in the stern where Princess Bakara was imprisoned, Yun Ji gently knocked on the mirror and asked.

"I'm awake, but I haven't figured out what happened yet." The magic mirror explained hurriedly and then fell silent.

"what happens?"

In the captain's bedroom, Cheng Lang asked blankly. He had a dream in which he seemed to have turned into the Valkyrie.

In this absurd dream, he knew almost clearly what had happened in the past few days. He even subconsciously controlled the Valkyrie to sink beneath the sea while fighting the waves.

"Dear Captain, you are finally awake," said the magic mirror. "Do you remember what happened before you went to bed?"

Before bed?

Cheng Lang reacted for a moment, then slowly remembered what happened before going to bed.

whip!

Cheng Lang finally thought of the key in his memory, and the whip immediately appeared in his hand.

Unlike before, this whip is now covered with delicate yet sharp black scales, and at the end of the whip handle, there is even a tentacle similar to a human hand, or a jellyfish or octopus, which holds his arm tightly while holding the whip.

"By the way, what happened to the princess in the coffin?" Cheng Lang asked after he came to his senses.

"Alive, but not awake yet."

The magic mirror said, and the mirror closest to Cheng Lang showed the situation in the cabin, "The dark elf toxin in her body has been absorbed by your whip, but she still hasn't woken up.

If Miss Yunji hadn't given her a bottle of elven healing potion every day, she might have starved to death."

Cheng Lang staggered to his feet and said as he walked out, "Tell me what happened these days and tell me your guess."

“We weren’t sure if we were heading in the right direction in the first place.”

The magic mirror first asked the most critical question, and then briefly described what had happened before.

After it finished speaking, Cheng Lang had already come to the office upstairs, found the metal bowl in the drawer, and took a look at the precious golden healing potions that Yun Ji had helped him seize.

"We're off course, right rudder 20."

Cheng Lang first corrected the course through the magic mirror, then asked, "Are these golden healing potions precious?"

"Of course they are precious. They come from the diluted sap of the sacred green tree."

The magic mirror explained, "This is the most precious diluent besides the original solution. Any one of them can bring back a seriously injured or dying person. For example, that unconscious princess might just need another one to wake her up immediately."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Cheng Lang said as he picked up a golden potion and left the office.

"The injured will feel grateful and kind to the first person they see when they wake up."

The magic mirror replied as a matter of course, "You are the captain of this ship, and you are the princess you saved.

Regardless of whether she still has the chance to be a princess, you should be the one to receive her gratitude, not Miss Yunji."

"Miss Yun Ji will be sad if you do this," Cheng Lang reminded with a helpless smile.

"Miss Yunji wouldn't care about such trivial matters," the magic mirror said too bluntly, "and you are the only captain I am loyal to."

"Luckily I didn't let you know I was offline for several days."

While Cheng Lang was muttering to himself, he also walked into the cabin which was guarded by Yun Ji personally day and night.

"Captain, you finally woke up." Yun Ji said this with obvious relief.

"How is she?" Cheng Lang asked Princess Bakara lying on the bed.

"Still alive, but can't seem to wake up."

Yun Ji said, "I'm not good at the elves' healing techniques, so I don't know the reason."

“It’s really beautiful.”

Cheng Lang lifted the white veil on Princess Bakara's face and took a look. Then, with a "snap", he broke the golden healing potion he had brought with him and let the sticky golden potion drip onto the lips of the expired princess.

"A golden healing potion is very precious," Yun Ji reminded.

"That's right"

Cheng Lang nodded as a matter of course, and while adjusting the veil, he said, "So this little princess will probably have to work for us for a long time to repay this debt."
