Chapter 172: Delivering the Message
Melanie carefully tapped the holy, flawless, yet bloody and cruel human skin drum with the tip of her index finger, and her heart image also beat in accordance with the frequency of the finger.
Heart, finger, drum - three rhythms moving together, three sounds resonating, three objects resonating, the faint fluctuations spread along the magic power of the heart image, along the crossroads constructed by the four heart image beats, towards the sea and the bright moon in front.
The sea surface, which was originally silent and gray like dead water, seemed to resonate with the rhythm played by the heart image and the drum surface, and a slight tide appeared, and the rise and fall of the tide happened to coincide with the slight thumping sound of the human skin drum surface.
The indescribable power began to spread around the four Crossroads sect secret believers, and even the pale silver moonlight pouring on their bodies seemed to begin to twist, jump and dance, and when the light no longer moved in a straight line, it would naturally form a blurred light and shadow in the eyes of mortals - this is why Sebastian could not see the faces of the four people.
However, at this time, the four secret believers had not yet discovered the peepers on the cliff in the distance. They were concentrating on practicing this crude and simple paging ceremony.
Let the waves carry the drum vibration away, through the tunnel under the world, to the special basin of sea water far inland.
In the windless room, in the quiet underground, Crovitt was still teasing the pair of caged kites named "Alden and Ramona".
She sat comfortably on the chair, pinched a small piece of special feed as small as coal crumbs with her fingers, clamped it at the angle formed by the belly of the thumb and the nail of the middle finger, and then flicked it gently, and the feed crumbs drew a parabola that was not standard at all and flew towards the golden bird cage.
The faces of the two kites were thinned to a strange and sharp angular outline. At this moment, they were hidden under the feathers at the throat, and the newly grown third star-shaped heterochromatic pupil was staring at the ridiculous female upright ape next to them.
The scarlet blood-soaked eye sockets slightly expanded and contracted, like lips slightly opened and closed, wanting to say something but not saying it.
They are the family of the Great Twin Kites, born with the characteristics of being untouchable, but now they are imprisoned in a special magic cage by these damn upright apes in the waking world. They cannot see the ocean, tides and the bright moon, and even their desire to be full cannot be satisfied. They are like pets for domestic viewing, or pets that are tortured and abused.
These so-called secret believers who practice the mind worship the Great Twin Kites on the surface, but secretly trade with the ring fir and the mare in the tree. It is simply a great disrespect to the Great Twin Kites!
Moreover, we need to endure the ridicule and insults of these upright apes, letting them watch us defecate and fall asleep - it is simply a crime worthy of death!
Especially you two twin female upright apes, don't think that you can be so wanton and rampant just because you have temporarily received the meager love of my Lord!
You dare to play with us as ordinary birds. When we grow up enough to break out of the cage, it will be the end of your lives! ! !
The kite named Alden by Crovitt thought so. Then it spread its wings and leaped, accurately catching the food that almost passed through the cage, and swallowed it into its stomach without chewing. In order to get more food to help itself grow, it had to act like a happy person, fluttering and jumping in the cage.
This scene made Crovitt laugh and laugh, and she couldn't help but applaud Alden's funny appearance, "Well done, Alden, come, I'll give you another delicious treat!"
The girl said, flicking her finger and flicking out a coal-like feed, but this time the tiny coal dust drew an arc in the air a little too far away, and deviated from Alden's cage by a full four inches. No matter how hard it stretched its neck, even if it shot out its sharp long tongue that was enough for hunting, it couldn't catch this grain of food in its mouth.
In the end, this deflected grain of food fell into another golden cage.
Ramona, who had been standing quietly on the horizontal bar of the cage, combing her increasingly dry feathers with her beak, looked blankly at the food that fell on the ground at the bottom of the cage, then jumped down with a flutter, elegantly cut the food into smaller portions, picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly before swallowing it... Well, that's how I have to be, to show my calm and elegant attitude even in desperate situations.
Alden, who was teased, immediately fell down his face - it's hard to imagine how Crovitt could observe such an expression from the thumbnail-sized head of the kite.
But she immediately burst into a series of prank laughter, especially after seeing Alden banging his head in the cage in frustration, the girl laughed even happier.
Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong——
Clovette heard the faint ripples in the basin in the room and slowly restrained her arrogant laughter, but the corners of her mouth still maintained the arc of a smile, radiating the perception of her heart, spreading to the stone basin filled with the sea spring.
She immediately listened to this alternative walking and speaking, and knew the message from far away - it was a call from the team on the way to explore.
So she also put her face close to the sea spring, and the clear water reflected the girl's pretty white face and bright red lips.
Crovitte also responded by stroking the edge of the stone basin with both hands, and the beating frequency of her heart was also transmitted to the already calm sea spring, stirring up faint ripples again, and the rhythm containing words was also transmitted to the distance.
‘Wait a moment, I’ll call Mr. Nello over now. ’
Nello Bacchus quickly arrived at Crovitt’s workshop. He also stood between two copper trees, listening to Crovitt’s translation of the information reported by the exploration team.
He simultaneously performed the words of walking, reporting the situation to Mr. Winfreys who was still in the dean’s office on the surface, and then waited to receive the leader’s order. Finally, he nodded slightly and stopped tapping his toes, and said:
“Crovitt, you pass on what I say next.”
Crovitt responded lightly, then lay on the ground attentively, with his palms on the outer edge of the stone basin.
Nello cleared his throat and said slowly: "According to Mr. Winfreys' instructions, the cliff where the Gowell Hotel is located will collapse on Christmas Day in five days. The hotel and the town will be submerged by the sea and sink under the sea, falling into eternal cold and dampness."
"But the library must still be hidden near this town, or it may have been moved away from the hotel and hidden somewhere else - you need to find the specific location of the library within five days."
"Take back the treasures in the library before the sea completely submerges it."
"One more thing, pay attention to a man named J.C. Remember not to have any conflicts or contradictions with him. If possible, it is best to try to meet all his requirements."
