The cold sea breeze blew in their faces.
It was now the coldest period of the year, and the temperature would gradually warm up after February next year. Søren brought Vivian to the pirate ship. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Vivian was a little quieter today than yesterday. The little girl obediently held his finger with her small hand, and from time to time, she would raise her little head and look at him with a sweet smile. This reminded Søren of the time in Amber City. At that time, Vivian liked to hold his finger like this.
There were already many fierce-looking pirates gathered on the pirate ship, and they couldn't help but be surprised by the sudden appearance of the little girl!
However, no one dared to ask anything.
The Lord in front of them scared them out of their wits. Throughout the Shipwreck Bay, the reputation of the Throat Cutter was spreading far and wide. Perhaps it was because she had experienced a lot along the way, the little girl was now very calm when she looked at these fierce pirates. Occasionally, she would curiously look at the tattoos on their bodies. Pirates preferred tattoos because sometimes they might not even be able to distinguish the body after death, so tattoos became a symbol of identity.
The warship soon left Port Tylon, and Søren did not specify the destination. He just asked them to move in the direction of the deep sea.
This undoubtedly made people feel puzzled, but everyone obeyed obediently!
"Brother!"
Vivian stood on the deck and looked at the sea. The sea breeze blew her beautiful long hair. She smiled sweetly at Søren and said, "Can I fish?"
Søren's expression was very calm. He smiled and said casually, "Yes. But it's easy to encounter sharks when fishing in this area! "
"Okay!"
The little girl's eyes lit up. She clapped her hands and said, "I want to catch a great white shark!"
Søren was stunned.
Then he ordered the others to bring iron hooks. Naturally, they could not use ordinary methods to deal with sharks. They had to use the smell of blood to lure them over. Fishing rods could not be dropped at all. They had to use other fishing tools, which this pirate ship did not have. But for Søren, getting a shark was a piece of cake. He hung a piece of meat on the hook and whispered, "Why is Vivian wearing a white dress today?"
"Hmm?"
The little girl looked at Søren with great interest. Then, she smiled sweetly and twirled around like a cute little princess. "Vivian's two favorite dresses. One is white, and the other is black. Do they look good on you, brother?"
"Yes." Søren nodded with a smile.
The little girl blinked her eyes and smiled. Her expression seemed a little strange, and then she looked at the sea as if nothing had happened.
The pirate ship continued to sail.
When they passed by a sea area, he ordered them to stop for a while and then looked at the bottom of the sea. Then, they continued to sail and approached the more dangerous areas in the deep sea. The other pirates were obviously a little worried. They seemed to be afraid of encountering sea monsters, but they did not dare to disobey Søren's order. They just showed a little worried look on their faces. There were many sea monsters on the deep sea route. At the same time, there were also other sea races. This was why the fleet had to pray for the blessings of the gods before sailing.
Otherwise, they could only use powerful sea monsters as a sacrifice!
…
Northern Tower.
A woman with a beautiful face came to one of the many towers erected in the North. This was a very old wizard tower. It had existed for a long time, longer than many cities in the North. It was also the only wizard tower that was well-preserved since the Arcane Empire. The whole wizard tower was covered by a special energy field. Ordinary people would not want to get close to it at all. They could not even see it with their naked eyes. The beautiful woman knelt in front of the tower and humbly lowered her head.
Then, a faint sigh was heard.
Then, the door of the tower slowly opened. The beautiful woman's face showed a hint of surprise, and then she quickly walked into the tower.
At the top of the tower.
An old woman was sitting on the astrology platform. Her hair was snow-white, and the most eye-catching thing about her was her pupils. They were almost completely white, and it was impossible to distinguish between the white of her eyes and the outline of her pupils. She raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman who came out from behind the door. She could not help but sigh softly and said slowly: "Corinne. Haven't you given up yet? "
The beautiful woman humbly lowered her head and said: "Your Excellency, Eye of the North! … I … I really don't want to! … "
The old witch shook her head gently and sighed: "With your talent, if you were not obsessed with power outside of yourself, I'm afraid you would have already entered the realm of legends. I banished you to Whiterun in the hope that you would wake up soon and take over my position one day. But I didn't expect you to not give up after so many years!
"Your daughter is about to surpass you, but you are still in the same place. You really disappoint me!"
The beautiful woman's face showed a trace of unwillingness and murmured: "I really don't want to! … I don't want to give up! … You said that as long as I could study this knowledge, I could master the power of the Arcane Empire! … In order to study its mystery, I have already lost my daughter! … Sacrificed my most beautiful years! … I am about to lose everything! … How can I give up on it! … "
The Eye of the North sighed and said slowly: "Even if you study it, what can you do? How powerful was the Arcane Empire in the past! If those great arcanists were not obsessed with power and knowledge! … How could it lead to the destruction of the huge Arcane Empire? They had destroyed themselves, and in their madness, they had attempted to encroach upon those forbidden domains! … "
"You have lost your way in power."
"I only see destruction and destruction in you. Even if you study it in the end, it will only bring you destruction!"
The beautiful woman bit her lips and said with a pale face: "Is this the fate that you saw? Is that why you no longer support my research? You even banished me to Whiterun? "
The Eye of the North did not speak, but there was a trace of pity in her eyes.
"Why?!"
Drops of tears fell, and the beautiful woman in front of her actually cried. This was an extremely rare situation. She stood up angrily and said in a sharp voice: "Why? Since you have already divined my fate, why are you only telling me now? "
The Eye of the North did not answer, but lowered her head in loneliness.
The beautiful woman looked at her coldly, then turned and walked out of the wizard tower. She said in a cold voice: "You also desire that power, don't you? You know that I can't succeed, but you still want to solve this mystery from me! "
"I won't give up."
"If fate wants me to be destroyed, then let me welcome it."
The seductive woman opened her mouth and chanted a forbidden language. Then, her skin began to change. It turned from white to dark green, and then back to a strange pale color. The Eye of the North's face showed a trace of shock, and then murmured: "You actually … actually already …"
The beautiful woman looked at her coldly and slowly said: "Yes. Since I am already regarded as evil and destined to fall into the abyss of hell after death, then what does it matter if I become like this a step earlier? "
She turned and prepared to leave.
But at this time, the Eye of the North suddenly opened her mouth and told a story: "Legend has it that before the birth of the Twins of Destiny, everyone's fate was controlled by the Goddess of Luck. When every life was born, she would toss the coin of fate that represented their future luck. Some people were heads, while others were tails. But there was a very special kind of person. When the Goddess of Luck threw up the Coin of Destiny, the coin would stand up. "
"Even the gods could not control the fate of this kind of person. In terms of fate, they were more free than the gods!"
"Fate is changing all the time."
"The Eye of the North only saw a corner of it. If you really don't want to give up, then go and find this kind of person. If you can get his help, your fate will also change. "
"As for success or failure in the end."
"No one knows!"
The beautiful woman's eyes eased a little. She bowed slightly and then left.
