The storm came and went quickly.
The group set off on the second day after the rain stopped, and the ship responsible for sending them to Graycastle was the Charming Beauty.
Sylvie leaned against the railing of the ship, took out a piece of beef jerky from the cloth bag, raised it above her head and shook it.
"Ooooo —"
A huge seagull fell from the sky accompanied by a cry, the airflow caused by its wings made her squint, and the jerky in her hand was taken away. When she raised her head, the seagull had returned to the front of the sailboat, continuing to lead the way in the vast sea.
This was what Maggie had asked her to do, because when she turned into a bird, she couldn't take out her own jerky to eat.
Although at this time her appearance was no different from an ordinary seagull (except for the body shape), but Sylvie could see the magic surging within the other's body and its true form. If she looked closely, she could also see the magic gathering from all directions, turning into spots of light and disappearing.
"I heard that she can not only transform into different birds, but also obtain the corresponding ability?" Someone behind her said in amazement, "As far as I know, a seagull will never get lost in the sea, and can even sense the arrival of a storm in advance."
"Indeed, Mr. Captain," even without looking back, Sylvie could clearly know who it was, "Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to rashly choose a new route, bypassing the Endless Cape and landing southwest of Graycastle."
Her ability not only allowed her to observe the flow and changes of magic, but also gave her a wide field of vision without any blind spots. She could observe the movements around her at any time, and obstacles couldn't obstruct the extension of her line of sight. She could even see the lazy sailors sleeping under the deck, and the shoals of fish swimming under the ship.
"Is there also a port there?" Captain Jack spat out a mouthful of smoke, "I remember there were explorers who went to the west of the Endless Cape, but except for the cliffs and shoals, there was nothing there."
"It's better if there's nothing there," Sylvie said indifferently, "So we can go back the way we came."
"Isn't that equivalent to a wasted trip?" The captain shook his pipe, "I'm looking forward to seeing something different on this new route."
This trip was entrusted by Lady Tilly to go to another gathering place of witches to contact and help each other. In addition to the five selected witches, Ashes and Molly were also on board, but they didn't go ashore, just to ensure that the voyage was safe. Molly's magic servant could help the ship resist storms, while Ashes could make it so that any pirates who set their eyes on the ship would never be able to return.
She also had another responsibility, which was to identify Roland Wimbledon's true identity for Lady Tilly.
Before departing, Tilly had explained the cause of the matter in detail to her, as well as the possible results and methods to deal with it. Simply put, it was to reach an agreement with the leader of the Witch Cooperation Association, in exchange for Roland's real body. But to be honest, Sylvie always felt that this task would not be so easy to complete. If the Witch Cooperation Association did not agree, then it would be fine. But what if they didn't want the news to leak out and imprisoned her and the other four people?
Looking through the cabin wall, seeing Lotus, Evelyn and the others happily playing with the magic servant, she couldn't help but sigh.
I hope that the witches of the Witch Cooperation Association are really as warm and friendly as Maggie said.
…
After sailing on the sea for nearly a week, Sylvie finally saw the gray coastline.
"We're almost there," Honey shouted while leaning on the side of the ship. Beside her, a row of petrels, ospreys and seagulls also joined in the noise.
"We're finally here …" Candle was leaning on the side of the ship with a haggard face, "I don't think I can hold on any longer."
"This is only a temporary phenomenon, child, as long as you go ashore, you will soon recover," Jack One-eye laughed while holding the telescope, "I've been sailing for so many years, but I've never seen anyone die on board because of the turbulence."
"What about Maggie?" Honey asked.
"She has already flown to Border Town ahead of time to contact the witches of the Witch Cooperation Association," Ashes answered her, "I believe that they will soon send someone to pick you up."
"Sister Ashes, won't you come with us?"
"Tilly needs my help," Ashes smiled, "Don't worry, the witches of the Witch Cooperation Association will treat you as sisters … If you have any difficulties, you can find Vendy, she will definitely help you solve it."
Vendy, Sylvie silently remembered this name in her heart.
"Yes, there is one more thing," Ashes patted her forehead, "You must remember to stay away from Lord Roland Wimbledon, you must not easily be alone with him."
"Why, isn't he Lady Tilly's brother?" Evelyn was puzzled.
"He is," Ashes said seriously, "But this doesn't prevent him from touching the witches' buttocks!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
The sailboat finally docked about half a mile away from the shoal, after all, there were no detailed sea charts here, so no one knew how deep the water at the shoal was. The way to go ashore was very simple, they didn't even need to release the landing boats, Molly directly let the servants wrap the five people, and together with herself, they floated on the sea surface.
This shoal was obviously a part of the mountain, and under the constant erosion of the sea, it had become a soft sandy beach. Not far away was the towering mountains, completely separating the inland of Graycastle from the coast. The mountain range was endless, and the further west they went, the higher they became. At the end of their vision, it almost evolved into a huge mountain similar to the Impassable Mountain Range.
After waiting for almost an hour, Sylvie noticed a strange shadow approaching.
Its size was very large, almost the same as the Charming Beauty, and its round outline obviously didn't seem to be a natural creation. It stood to reason that such a huge object should be extremely heavy, but its trajectory was quite smooth, as if it was floating in the air. Separated by the mountains and woods, she couldn't see it clearly, but this thing was indeed constantly climbing, and soon it would cross the mountains.
After a while, it revealed its true appearance from behind the cover.
"Oh my God, what is that?" Lotus looked at the sky in surprise and asked incredulously.
"Sister Ashes, have you ever seen this thing?" Evelyn pulled her arm.
"No …" Ashes also looked a little surprised, "It's also the first time I've seen this thing."
"It seems that this is the way the Witch Cooperation Association welcomes us," Sylvie said with emotion.
They saw an amazing spherical object floating in the air, with a basket made of vines hanging below it. Maggie and another witch, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied the basket as it flew. The most striking thing was that at the bottom of the basket was a long yellow canvas, on which several huge words were written.
