Chapter 299 The Return of the Black Pearl
There were only a little over a hundred banshees in total. Excluding the team that followed Zoe to Blood Harbor and those that stayed in Gem Bay to continue exploring, the rest were all in this room.
They discussed in low voices, and it was even more lively during the mind connection.
Seeing Zeus coming, the banshees made way.
Nini is at the front of the banshees. Ash went to Blood Harbor, and now she is in charge of all matters related to the banshees on the island.
"how's it going?"
"I feel like I'll wake up soon." Nini glanced at Monica and reached out to pinch her face.
Monica seemed to be fast asleep, and subconsciously waved away.
"Look, I could hardly lift my hands just now."
After saying that, Nini pushed Monica to the side and let her lie on her side.
The banshee had six arms, and lying on her side was a very uncomfortable state. Monica purged herself a few times on the bed and lay flat on her back.
"Impressive, now I can turn over by myself."
The surrounding banshees clapped.
Xiu Si covered his face. Are you here to visit her or to bully her? Why do you seem to be having so much fun? "Don't worry, Lord. The body of a banshee is different from that of a human. Look--"
She grabbed Monica's tail and lifted her up, then turned to look at Hughes and was about to say something.
At an angle she couldn't see, Monica slowly opened her eyes, turned around and looked at Nini who was holding her tail.
Monica's eyes became fierce and she slowly opened her mouth.
"ah!!!!"
Anyway, Monica woke up successfully.
After a messy fight, Monica hugged Hughes and started crying, refusing to listen to anyone's advice.
It took Xiusi a long time to comfort the little witch with gentle words before she stopped crying.
Zeus had always been worried whether the trumpet banshee he knew was still there, or whether it was a strange soul to him.
But all these worries disappeared when they saw Monica's emerald green eyes.
The banshees surrounded her and chatted for a long time. Except for Nini's question, she was angry and didn't answer. The other banshees answered everyone's questions one by one.
Monica is Monica. No matter whether she is the short Monica or the grown-up banshee, the soul of Poseidon has never really influenced her. To be precise, after thousands of years, the fragments of Poseidon's soul no longer have any independent will, and even the pirate king can easily steal them.
Of course, his weak soul could not withstand the power of the sea god, and it was shattered immediately after stealing this power.
However, the soul of Poseidon is not completely without influence. Monica has now acquired a lot of scattered knowledge, but most of it is fragmented and difficult to apply directly.
According to Monica, new knowledge can only be acquired through occasional flashes of inspiration.
A flash of inspiration. Hughes suddenly had a bad feeling. Monica already had a lot of weird ideas, and now she had a flash of inspiration and mastered new knowledge in the supernatural field? Who knows what she could come up with.
Xius could accept a flash of inspiration, but he was afraid that her inspiration would be too random.
Seeing that Monica was in good health, Hughes was relieved and took the box he had brought.
This cake was made to celebrate Monica's recovery.
The cooking skills of the chefs on the island are always hard to describe, but the desserts are still quite delicious. Hughes opened the cake box in front of everyone.
The cake was specially ordered by Zeus. He asked the kitchen to make a cake suitable for the banshee, and then he didn't care about it anymore.
He still trusts the pastry chef.
Of course, that trust was gone when they saw the fish head stuck in the cake.
Yes, this round cake is sea blue, with white waves and reefs specially made. The overall appearance is quite good - except that the cake is full of fish heads.
The cake was now in Zeus's hand. He could clearly see that the fish heads were not made of cream, but were real fish heads, stuck straight on the cake, with lifeless eyes looking up into the sky, as if accusing something.
A sense of weirdness arises spontaneously.
Hughes' smile froze on his face, and the room fell into deathly silence.
Look up at the starry sky?!
No, isn't this kind of thing only seen in jokes? Did the chef here come up with "Looking Up at the Stars"?
Oh no, Monica wouldn't think I was playing a prank on her too, would I?
Xius' eyes were already wandering as he began to plan his escape route.
At this time, Monica reached out her hand tremblingly, cut off a piece of cake, and stuffed it into her mouth together with the fish head on it.
"Well, if you don't like it, there's no need to force yourself to eat it." Xius felt guilty.
But the expression on Monica's face had nothing to do with "dislike" at all. She chewed and squinted her eyes, like a happy kitten basking in the sun.
“It’s delicious!”
The surrounding female demons also started to talk.
“Wow, this cake is so well made!”
"Indeed, the fish head above looks delicious!"
“This shape is so beautiful!”
"Ahhh I love it. If I pass out, will the Lord send me cake too?"
"Hey, you really fainted, don't fall on me, you're so heavy!"
The smile on Zeus's face slowly turned into confusion.
"This cake... Don't you think it's weird? It's about looking up at the stars!"
The banshees fell silent again.
After a while, the witch who had just pretended to be unconscious spoke in a trembling voice: "What did you say was the name of this cake?"
Xius was stunned: "Look up at the stars."
The banshees took a deep breath of cold water and cool air.
“What a beautiful name.”
Hughes: “.”
Oh no, he just remembered that what these banshees love most is the starry sky. Every time they are on night shift duty, they would rush to go and look up at the starry sky for the whole night.
I don’t know why these deep-sea fish like the starry sky.
In short, this name hit the banshees straight in the hearts, and Monica now had a look of happiness on her face, as if she was about to faint.
Zeus stood among the group of banshees, holding the cake in both hands, his face full of confusion.
It seems that there are still cultural differences.
No one noticed that there was an additional voice in the lively mind link.
"I'm back!"
"Wuwuwu, Monica!"
"Look up at the starry sky. I want it too."
"I'm back!!"
"Is it too late to pretend to faint now?"
"Let's try it. Let's do it together. You fall to the left and I fall to the right."
"No, please change direction. The room is already crowded."
Finnel: "@Everyone, I'm back! I brought the Black Pearl back to the port. I swam for three whole days! Didn't anyone come to pick you up? Where did everyone go? Did the murlocs break into the cathedral?"
Zeus' eyes lit up and he walked quickly to the window. Sure enough, a boat was slowly approaching on the distant horizon.
Hughes: "Great, Finnel, is everyone on the ship okay?"
Finnel: "Wait. What's with the cake picture posted in the group? It's so pretty!! "
Hughes: 『.』
