"Trouble to take me to the sea on the other side of the cliff. Gavin looked down in the direction of his companions' flight and quickly decided, "I need to send a signal there for them to ......"

The ice dragon slammed down, the hot vapor rushing into his nostrils with the foul smell of some kind of stinky egg, choking his unfinished words in his throat once more.

The warrior was shocked, and the image of the ice dragon's broad back being smashed into flesh by a falling boulder already appeared in his mind. But the ice dragon did not fall to the ground, it waved its four claws, grabbed all the people running on the ground like chickens, and flew straight to the sea. When it reached the position it felt appropriate, it flicked its tail, and the warrior who was curled in the tip of the tail inexplicably understood its signal "You can signal".

The anger that can't be vented is stuffed in the chest. Gavin didn't like to be treated like this, but the ice dragon clearly didn't mean anything, it just ......

Maybe it's just a dragon.

He signaled with a blank face. As he expected, Damm, who was guarding the ship, was not caught in the chaos at the docks, and the ship soon heard the news. Until the ice dragon threw everyone on the boat, most of the people's expressions remained dull for various reasons, except for Taras who laughed loudly and even lay flat on the deck in order to get a better view of the dragon.

"Good Dragon!" he gave a thumbs up to the sky.

Gavin felt that the ice dragon should not like this praise similar to "good dog", but there was a subtle relief in his heart.

"Did it work?"

Damme kicked his unfigured companion and turned to ask Gavin calmly.

"Yes. ”

Soon after, when they joined the Unicorn, Stobel, who had just woken up, replied in the affirmative, "I got the gem...... If Ed's compass is fine, then Riversinger's soul should be trapped in it. ”

"Thank you, gods!" Taras grinned as he tore off the mage-like skin on his face, "Shouldn't you have some wine at this time, friends?"

The mage silently watched as he crumpled the fake skin into a ball and threw it into the sea, inexplicably with a little pain in his face.

It's a success to celebrate, but few people seem to be able to laugh at the moment. Most people watched in a daze as the small island in the sea of fire trembled not far away, boulders fell, lava gushed out gradually spread over the island, trees burned like torches, and under the bleak skylight, white mist and black smoke were entwined, and the fiery red that seemed to destroy everything roared into the sky.

It was a living hell.

“...... Those pirates. Gavin retracted his gaze and told Bertram, "I've left that bay......

"Do you want to take advantage of the fire, now is a good time!" added Taras happily, "they have several shipwrecks!"

"Of course!" Bomb nodded vigorously.

Bertram's throat was a little dry. He couldn't give such an unhesitating answer, though he should. However, in the face of this natural disaster, no one can resist...... When the so-called "righteous" or "evil" creatures will be easily crushed without discrimination, the ** of revenge does not seem to be able to ignite the flame.

“...... There is no need to take risks. Iss glanced at him, as if to see through his hesitation, "Those falling stones don't have eyes. And even if the whole island sinks into the sea, it doesn't mean it's over...... There may be even more terrible dangers. ”

He pointed to the sea: "Don't you see? ”

"Sea, tsunami!" Terry stammered, unusually nervous, "we have to ...... We've got to ......."

"Stay at sea. An old sailor said slowly, "Go to a deeper part of the water...... If you park your boat at the dock, even a good ship like the Unicorn will be smashed by the waves like eggshells. ”

Bertram nodded, and when he ordered a change of course, no one objected.

They sailed farther west, toward a safer deep sea, but Is's eyes never left Naitua, which had begun to crumble in the flames.

He didn't tell all the facts, it wasn't a natural disaster.

Naituay is not the source of the earthquake, the real source is at the bottom of the sea. And such a strong tremor, if it had occurred naturally, could not have been without a little forewarning...... Not so long ago he was at the bottom of the ocean, and he couldn't have been unaware.

He had some kind of foreboding, but he couldn't leave until these people were safe enough.

When Ed opened his eyes, his mind went blank.

For a moment he couldn't think of anything. He could feel him in the water, swirling bubbles rising like jewels in the sunlight shining through the water before bursting. He reached out blankly, as if trying to grab one...... But some kind of force held him back.

The power was originally gentle, so gentle that he could barely perceive it, but when he tried to break free, the gentle restraint turned into an indestructible shackle, trapping him firmly in it, like a small flying insect trapped by transparent resin, gradually unable to move. He subconsciously opened his mouth to cry out in fear, and the salty water poured into his mouth with a strange warmth.

Seawater. He thought.

The broken memories were connected, and countless images rushed into his mind, and he remembered.

The light he could see was not sunlight at all. This is the depths of the sea, and even when the darkness is dispelled, there is still a lifeless dead silence. He knew that in the heights he could not see, huge stones had been cut into straight lines, wedged together in the simplest but strongest way, and that this forgotten land had silently retained its grandeur for thousands of years, just as he had seen the remains of the legendary city of giants that had been destroyed before it was built, in the dark underworld of the Giant's Spine in the Far Arctic Ice Sheet......

He heard the sound of nine toes, low and thin, sticky like a spider's web:

"I'm indeed looking for the heart of the deep...... But it's not some stupid legendary gem that responds. ”

It was the temple of the giants, and they were still full of gratitude and reverence for the gods, and in the distant past, they also built huge temples with great enthusiasm to offer the most pious prayers and rich sacrifices to the gods. It towered over the sea, because they were born in the sea, and it sank at the bottom of the sea, when they raised their arms to the gods in anger.

This abandoned, oldest temple is the true Heart of the Deep.

It was buried in the darkness and no one ever remembered again...... But something remains.

And now, it has been awakened.
