Chapter 409
In the fog, the passage of time is almost unnoticeable.
Whether it is day or night, it is always a vast expanse of haze. Rossweisse doesn't know how long she has been sailing in this fog.
Perhaps, less than a day? Perhaps, a very long time has passed...
The ocean in the fog seems to be a pure, dead world.
There are no seabirds singing, no fish jumping out of the sea, no rippling waves... nothing, the whole world seems to be immersed in stillness and silence.
That kind of empty, desolate, and dead atmosphere is most likely to arouse fear in people's hearts.
Rossweisse finally understood that the most unbearable thing in such a place is not thirst and hunger, nor the monsters that may jump out at any time, but... the loneliness that makes people collapse.
In addition, because there is no harvest, the depression and loss are increasing almost every moment.
In an unknown period of time, she did not encounter anything, not even a single attack, and as for mermaids, she had never seen them.
Rossweisse knew that it was not easy to obtain the mermaid's heart. She was ready to wander here for a long time, and she had stored enough food in her storage ring.
However, the depression and loss were still increasing day by day.
Perhaps, many predecessors who explored the Endless Sea eventually died in this torture?
She didn't even know where she was now...
On the bow, Rossweisse took a deep breath and put her little hand on her chest. She was trying to calm the irritability in her chest. Controlling her emotions was the most important thing in the Endless Sea.
Bang...
At this moment, after a long time, the first different sound suddenly entered Rossweisse's ears.
The boat under her shook slightly, and the sea surface that was as calm as a pool of dead water finally rippled with circles, as if the bow had hit something.
Although it was only a very slight movement, this little movement shocked Rossweisse's spirit, and her body stood up with a slap, and a pair of golden eyes flashed with excitement.
Her heartbeat quickened, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
It was too difficult.
With a trembling heart, Rossweisse looked toward the front of the bow, and then her beautiful face suddenly became a little weird.
She never thought that she would see such a scene.
Rossweisse would accept that the thing that hit the bow was an ugly monster, but... Rossweisse never thought that the person floating on the sea at the bow at this moment would be... a woman?
Yes, it was a woman.
She was even a very beautiful woman. Her hair seemed to have not been combed for a long time, and her hair looked a little messy. Her clothes were a little tattered, but this woman did not change them.
She was like a fish that had died long ago, floating quietly on the water.
Even if she had been hit by a small boat, there was still no movement, as if she had died... There was some laziness on her pretty face.
In this endless sea full of mysterious atmosphere, you would actually encounter a woman who had been dead for a long time floating on the sea?
Even with Rossweisse's intelligence, she couldn't figure out what was going on at this time.
Could it be a monster living in the depths of the Endless Sea? In a mysterious place like the Endless Sea, it's not surprising that some strange beings have the ability to transform.
Even, could this woman be a mermaid?
Although it is said that the upper body of a mermaid is human and the lower body is a fish tail, which is somewhat different from the image of this woman, but who can guarantee that this is not an illusion created by a mermaid?
However, if it is an illusion, Rossweisse doesn't think that the illusion of a mermaid can confuse her.
Could it be that this is a human who explored the Endless Sea like herself and eventually died here?
In a flash, many thoughts emerged in Rossweisse's mind. If it was just a human who explored the Endless Sea like herself but eventually died here, then this woman would have no meaning to Rossweisse.
Rossweisse wanted to let it go, but after a period of consideration, she ordered Ellie to fish the woman's body out of the sea.
Perhaps, some useful clues can be found on the body of this woman, such as the notes left by this woman when exploring the Endless Sea, which can help me avoid many detours.
However, when Rossweisse examined the body of this woman, she found helplessly that this woman had nothing on her body except the long skirt, not even a storage ring, which is a must-have item for adventurers in the Sky Continent.
Not to mention notes and the like.
The fact that there was no gain made Rossweisse feel very bad, and she wanted to throw the body of this woman back down in depression... It's strange to say, this woman seems to have been dead for some time.
It should have been rotten long ago, emitting a strong corpse odor, and it might even have been eaten by some creatures in the ocean.
But in fact, although the skin of this woman is cold, it is still delicate and elastic.
Rossweisse pushed the corpse with her hands and wanted to throw the woman's body into the sea again, but at this moment, Rossweisse suddenly felt a slight fluctuation.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and her gaze suddenly fell on the woman's chest.
That towering chest is slowly falling.
Is that a heartbeat?
Does this woman still have a heartbeat? Is she still alive?
This sudden discovery made Rossweisse alert, and she winked at Ellie next to her. The two of them were ready for a fight. It would be better to be careful in a place like this anyway, right?
The golden eyes stared intently at the woman's body. After a long time, the woman's heart finally beat again... The frequency of her heartbeat was so low that it was unimaginable.
That was not the heartbeat that any normal living being should have. Coupled with that lazy face, Rossweisse had a strange illusion for some reason, that is... this woman seemed too lazy to even beat her heart?
What the hell is this?
Heartbeat is the most normal and instinctive reaction of any living being. It is not something that can be controlled at all. How can there be such a thing as being too lazy to heartbeat?
What made Rossweisse even more horrified was that the woman's lazy aura gradually spread and even affected her. There was an inexplicable laziness in Rossweisse's heart, as if everything in her was out of control. Worth caring about.
The second chapter has 4,000 words. I will finish it today with 8,000 words. Thank you for the one thousand one point reward as you wished, and thank you for your support.
Chapter 486 The Lazy Witch’s Commission
(four thousand words)
In fact, Rossweisse felt that she had been working hard to resurrect Zero, for the power of the Holy See, and for her status and influence in the entire Sky Continent.
But now, for some reason, Rossweisse felt that all her efforts were of no value.
The power of the Holy See? Status on the Sky Continent?
It’s just a fleeting thing. What’s the point of pursuing these things? When you grow old and die, won't everything disappear?
Even resurrecting Jero seems not to be that important anymore.
Even if a person who has died a long time ago is really resurrected, will he still be the same Jero he once was?
What's the point of spending your best years on these things? Why not lie down and relax your tired body and soul?
After all, I am really tired.
At this moment, Rossweisse seemed to have lost all motivation, and she even wanted to lie down on the deck and have a good sleep.
In fact, her body had even fallen crookedly, but just when her body was about to fall, Rossweisse's body shivered violently.
The next moment, her pretty face instantly turned pale, large beads of sweat rolled down Rossweisse's cheeks, and her body was soaked with sweat.
An indescribable feeling of fear swept through me.
She couldn't understand what kind of situation it was, but Rossweisse at least knew that just now her soul seemed to be affected by this woman who didn't know whether she was unconscious or asleep.
The vague aura coming from this woman only made Rossweisse's hair stand on end. It seems that it can directly crush all your hopes from the deepest part of your soul.
What kind of monster is this?
Subconsciously, Rossweisse retreated quickly, widening the distance between herself and this mysterious woman. She did not stop until her body retreated to the stern of the boat and there was no way to retreat.
Although the aura spreading from the woman still existed, it finally weakened a little.
Ellie next to her, because she had died long ago and was just a mere puppet, was not affected by this.
Rossweisse had faced many enemies before, but this was the first time she encountered such a strange opponent.
Could this woman really be a monster wandering in the endless sea?
It is truly a forbidden area for humans.
Rossweisse needed some time to think carefully about how to face this woman.
What is the identity of this woman? Is she a monster or a human?
What's going on with that weird power?
Various thoughts kept rolling in Rossweisse's mind, and she was still a little scared. If she had been completely influenced by this weird woman just now and gave up the plan to resurrect Zero...
Rossweisse trembled with fear at the thought of that possibility.
I don't know how long it took, but the woman's heartbeat kept at an almost imperceptible frequency. Then the woman seemed to finally wake up from sleep. Her eyelids trembled slightly and opened slightly.
It seems that opening the middle eyelids a little wider is a waste of energy.
The woman seemed to feel a little strange about the environment she was in now, but she was too lazy to observe the situation around her. She just glanced at Rossweisse sideways.
This look always made Rossweisse feel like this woman was looking down on her.
Damn guy.
"Did you save me?" the woman finally spoke. She seemed to have not spoken normally for a long time, and her voice was dry.
"Yes, who are you?" Rossweisse decided not to argue with this woman about her rudeness and directly asked her doubts.
But this mysterious woman did not answer Rossweisse's question. She just let out a sigh of annoyance: "Huh, it's not like he died... Are you very free? Why did you save me?"
hiss……
This hateful woman.
Rossweisse was so angry at these words that veins appeared on her forehead.
Is this woman sick? Although this was not his original intention, he saved her anyway. Instead of saying thank you, he just asked himself directly, "Am I too busy?"
Before figuring out the details of this woman, Rossweisse was angry but she could only suppress it. However, her tone of voice was not as kind as before, and she snorted mockingly: "Why, you want to die?" If you want to die, why don’t you commit suicide?”
"Too lazy to commit suicide."
Such a straightforward answer choked Rossweisse again.
Rossweisse could accept answers such as fear and fear of death, but why was she too lazy to commit suicide?
Are there really such lazy people in this world who are too lazy to commit suicide?
Rossweisse's eyes widened helplessly, and after a long while she shook her head. She understood one thing, that is, she couldn't handle this woman.
If it weren't for the fact that this woman seemed to have been floating in this endless sea for a long time and should know this area better than herself, Rossweisse would still want to pry open this woman's mouth and learn something from her mouth. If there was any useful information, this woman would have been kicked off the ship long ago.
However, judging from this woman's character, she would probably choose to let him throw her over. After all, she might be too lazy to get off the boat...
Rossweisse felt a little frustrated and turned her head desperately to find a way to make this super lazy woman speak.
"Ah, by the way, can you please kill me?" At this moment, the woman spoke and made a rather strange request to Rossweisse.
Rossweisse trembled slightly, but...this seemed to be an opportunity.
The previous saint's big eyes rolled, and she already had a plan in her heart: "Kill you? Of course, but you have to answer some questions from me."
The woman was a little impatient, but in order to have someone kill her, the woman nodded.
"Who are you, what's your name, and why are you here?" Rossweisse asked several questions in a row.
"My name... Vera... seems to be this name, because too much time has passed, and I have forgotten it." In order to get Rossweisse to kill her, the woman acted very cooperatively.
"I should be considered a witch."
Witch.
As soon as these two words appeared, Rossweisse felt her heart tremble slightly.
Although this woman looked lazy, she was a rather mysterious and terrifying guy. After the woman woke up, Rossweisse tried to see through the woman's strength, but found that the woman's body was like an endless ocean. There is no way to see where the bottom of the sea is.
The mysterious aura exuding from the woman can even directly affect Rossweisse's will. All circumstances indicate that this woman has fully met the standards of a witch in terms of strength alone.
This is also the reason why Rossweisse has been patient with this woman until now despite her anger. Otherwise, Rossweisse's temper would definitely use another method to pry open this woman's mouth...physical means.
While calculating in her mind, Rossweisse couldn't help but say something back: "Witch? Could it be that she is the Sloth Witch?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
Rossweisse rubbed her forehead helplessly. Good guy, this woman is really a lazy witch.
Although the news was shocking, on the other side Rossweisse felt it was natural. After all, except for the Lazy Witch, there really was no such lazy person in the world.
