The Swirling Sea, the Fjords Islands.
The sea was foggy, and the ship looked like it was sailing in the clouds, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness. They had just left Snowwave Island not long ago, but now the island had disappeared as if it had never existed. Except for the sound of water splashing against the bottom of the ship, Margaery could not find any other objects that could help her determine the direction.
Sailing in foggy weather was taboo for sailors.
If other captains had requested to do so, they would have been tied up and thrown into the sea.
However, the captain of "The Chase" was Thunder, the most famous explorer in the Fjords.
Wherever he wanted to go, there would be people willing to follow him, even if it was the entrance to the abyss or the depths of the living lava.
"The reef area is just ahead, my lord!" shouted a sailor who was familiar with the area.
"Lower the sails and move forward slowly." Thunder clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, keep an eye on the surroundings and keep your ears open. That's our destination!"
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
Since the secret meeting with His Majesty in the king's city of Graycastle and obtaining his support, Thunder did not waste a single day. He immediately prepared for the third trip to the east of the Shadow Islands to explore the secrets of the Sealine and the Tides. In addition to preparing a ship and recruiting excellent explorers, the most important step was to find a witch who could observe the ebb of the tide from the bottom of the sea.
That witch was Margaery's childhood friend, Sunflower.
"Can we really find her?" Molly stood on the head of the Magic Servant and looked into the distance. "I can't see anything."
"She'll only show up when she can't see anything," Margaery said in a low voice. "Sunflower won't just sit back and watch a ship in danger."
"Has she turned into a fish?"
"The last time I saw her, only her legs were in the shape of a fish, but that was more than 10 years ago." Margaery shook her head. "I don't know what she looks like now."
"This is a kind of summoning ability, so it's not surprising that she can turn into any aquatic animal," Camilla Dary, the chief butler of Sleeping Island, said. "If Sunflower has been with the sea for a long time, there's no need to worry that she can't survive the Day of Awakening. But it's been more than 10 years. Is she really still in this sea? "
"Madam, you have to believe in our information," Thunder laughed. "Ever since I knew she was a witch, I've been paying attention to the movements here. You should know that her voice is the symbol of Snowwave Island. There are even some merchants who want to take this voice for themselves."
"Did you stop them?" Camilla raised her eyebrows.
"A shipwreck stopped them." Thunder blinked. "I promise those guys won't dare to do anything to her again."
"So that's how it is … Thank you for your help to the witches," she said with her hand on her chest.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Molly also shouted.
"Hahaha, do I look that old?" Thunder said, stroking his beard. "It's not that long."
Margaret, who was standing at the side, shook her head. This guy was still so easy to win the hearts of women. No matter which island in the Fjords, he was always the most eye-catching existence. Margaery shook her head. "This guy is still so easy to please. No matter which island in the Fjords, he's always the most eye-catching."
Unfortunately, ever since he had Lightning, he never thought of marrying another woman.
"Boss, I think I hear singing!" Someone at the stern suddenly shouted. "It's in the northwest!"
"Quiet, everyone quiet!" Thunder and the witches rushed to the stern of the sailboat, followed by Margaery.
As everyone held their breath and listened, the ethereal singing gradually became clearer. It was not coming from all directions, but was firmly pointing in one direction. It was like a light penetrating the thick fog, guiding the Chase to a safe course.
"Take in the sails and drop the anchor!" Thunder ordered. "Put down the landing shuttle."
After awakening as a witch, Sunflower knew that she could not be caught, so she almost never showed up. Ships in distress could only hear her singing, and few people had seen her. Therefore, Thunder planned to let the Chase stay in place and continue to attract Sunflower's singing. He, Margaery, and the witches would take a small boat to find her.
The Magic Servant dove into the water and quietly moved forward with the landing shuttle. They did not even need to paddle.
After sailing for about seven minutes in the thick fog, Margaery suddenly saw a green figure.
"Sunflower!" She could not help but shout.
The singing stopped abruptly.
A woman was floating on the water, looking at the people on the boat in surprise. She seemed to be at a loss for a moment. Her hair hung down like fluffy seaweed, revealing only half of her face and her round eyes. Her skin was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and there were scaly markings on her cheeks and neck.
"It's me, Margaery! Do you still remember me? "
"Ya — ya — ya — ya —" She made intermittent sounds and slowly backed away.
"It's useless. She can't talk anymore," Thunder said decisively. "I'll leave the communication to you, Ms. Camilla."
Camilla nodded and put her hand on Margaery's shoulder.
Suddenly, Sunflower's voice sounded in her mind.
"Did you... bring them to catch me?" "
"No, I came to you to —"
'She can hear you, 'interrupted Camilla.' It's more sincere to speak from the heart. '
Margaery swallowed her saliva, calmed herself down, and thought over what she wanted to say.
[You saved my life once, Sunflower. Do you remember? I came here to ask for your help. "
After a while, she heard the other party's reply again.
"I remember you, Margaery. We used to hang out a lot. "
This was the ability of a witch! "It's really amazing …" Margaery thought excitedly. Fortunately, Thunder had foreseen this before they set off and invited Camilla Dary from Sleeping Spell who could directly communicate with people.
[Camilla Dary? Who was she? "
Oh no, she had forgotten that her thoughts could be directly heard by Roland. Margaery hurriedly collected her thoughts and "said", "Camilla Dary is the one who can let us hear our thoughts. She is also a witch, just like you. "
[Don't sailors catch witches? "
"Of course! The power of the church has been completely destroyed. Now witches have settled in the Fjords. Sleeping Island is a town built by witches. If you want to go there, I can help you. "
"Oh? "Sunflower sounded excited." What else happened recently? Someone threw a harpoon at me, and I thought they came for the church's bounty. "
[That kind of thing won't happen again. Lord Thunder has solved everything. "
"Thunder? You mean the most outstanding explorer? "
"Yes, he's right behind me. You don't know, but not long after I left the fishing village, I joined his expedition team. "
"Really? Can you tell me about it? "
...
After a long time, Sunflower made a chirping sound and jumped into the sea, leaving only a string of ripples.
"How is it?" asked Thunder.
