Taking advantage of the gap between the storms, Eric stepped out of the hut and moved his body.

At this moment, they were on a small island, an island that could be seen by the naked eye at high tide.

The octopus troll's harassment did not destroy and overturn the ark, but it also caused the ark to suffer a lot of damage.

The people who thought they were going to die were surprised to find that after the storm receded, the octopus monster also shrank into the water with hatred, and disappeared, which was considered to have saved a few people's lives.

A flat boat loses power and floats in the sea. Fortunately, Bourcho's eyes were sharp, and he desperately tried his best to make the ark tilt towards the island, which was considered to be a stop.

Eric moved his arms, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated that he was no longer able to open and close his arms that he was most used to.

Missing an arm, even a left arm that is rarely used on a daily basis, is not something that can be used to in a few days. It's been four days since he woke up, but every day he wakes up, he subconsciously touches his arm.

Now, what he dreams most about is not successfully sealing the Lord of the Storm, nor returning to the empire to become a high-class nobleman. Rather, I missed that hand as if it were still there.

"I'm really not used to it, but it's not easy to survive......"

Eric let out a sigh as if to sigh, it was lucky to survive, and it was unfortunate to lose his arm. But no matter how lucky and unfortunate they are, there is no way to make up for each other.

"Lord Viscount, you're alright. ”

As a knight of the guard, Zelin naturally followed Eric's orders at all times, and looking at the viscount's sad face, Zelin also stepped forward to ask a few words.

"What else can I ......?"

Eric lifted the remaining half, as if self-deprecating, "Fortunately, I passed out after my arm was broken, otherwise I might not have been able to stand it looking at the fragments." ”

In fact, as early as when the arm was crystallized, Eric was ready to break an arm. And there wasn't much flesh left of this arm before it shattered.

Because of this, the fracture of this arm did not cause any major wounds. The cut of the arm came out in just a moment, and it began to heal.

As for bleeding, it has never been.

Now Eric is just expressing his inner frustration, even if he is prepared, from complete to disabled, he will finally stumble on himself.

"Bourcho went to fetch water and hasn't come back yet. ”

"Yes, Lord Viscount. ”

Although the island is small, there is a spring in the middle of it. The flow of spring water is not large, but during the storm season, the water storage is not too small.

"Ah, were we really worth it in the first place......"

Arriving at this island with a spring like this, although I knew the cause and effect, I couldn't help but start comparing.

If you hadn't set foot on that eroded island, you wouldn't have suffered such a setback.

"Hey, Lord Viscount, don't say that. ”

If it was Zelin, he would not be able to talk to him at the moment, but Bourcho happened to return with water and heard Eric's question.

"Our water source at that time would definitely not be able to support us for so long, not to mention that we are now in a position that has been deviated, and if we look for it by the road, we may not be able to find it. ”

Bourcho put away the water bag and continued to enlighten Viscount Eric. This period of time was a big blow to Eric, and all Bourcho could do was help Eric shirk responsibility.

"Zelin, hurry up and make a fire, I have to eat fish for lunch today. ”

There are springs and trees on an island of this size, but you can't expect him to have food for these five people. Therefore, this food gap can only be made up by fishing.

There are strong winds and waves, and the fish are not very easy to catch, and the weather is humid, so it is not easy to save if you catch too much. Although they were full and hungry, the soup and food of the two wounded were not broken. Although they still showed no signs of waking up, their faces were slightly better, especially Knox.

The fire was raised, the water was boiled, and a pot of fish soup was boiled. Without logistical supplies, the fish soup is a bit bland and tasteless, and the only salt you have will not be put too much.

After all, these fish soups were meant to be eaten by two patients, and adding a little coarse salt afterwards was much less effective.

"Lord Viscount, I have made a careful investigation of the spring today, and I have found something interesting in the spring, which will be useful for our future voyage, so I came back a little late. ”

"Oh, something interesting, and even very useful. ”

Eric knew that Bourcho wouldn't talk nonsense, not to mention that getting water late wasn't a big deal.

"The water we drink from may not be spontaneous, but something that is derived from the power of the supernatural. At least partially. ”

Bourcho said with a slight smile.

"It's better to go and see for yourself. ”

This water source was originally discovered by Zelin and Bourcho, and Viscount Eric was not fully injured and had a broken arm, so he naturally did not need to go to fetch water. Zelin is also the character to complete the task as soon as possible, and the main events are done quite well, so don't care about those irrelevant things.

"Well, although the island is not big, I haven't even turned it around. When you're done, you'll take me to see it. ”

This also piqued the interest of Viscount Eric, who had been walking around the neighborhood since he had awakened, which seemed a bit monotonous.

"Zelin, you stay, inject energy into the ark, and take care of the two of you. ”

Although the function of the drive of this ark has been broken, this thing is also a treasure. Since it was given by Tantalus, who was able to correctly recognize the gods, it would definitely not be a simple thing.

This artifact still has the ability to repair itself, although it is very slow, and it needs to be constantly replenished. But there is also a hope, and it has taken these days, but it has also been repaired a lot.

In the middle of the island, on a piece of high ground.

Eric held on to the tree on one side and climbed it with all his might. The wound in the abdomen has not yet healed, and there is still a lot of pain after exerting my strength.

Arriving at the spring, Eric looked inside, but found nothing strange.

The spring water is not shallow, but you can see the bottom. Bubbles and fresh spring water bubbled from the holes that a few stones had not yet covered.

"Bourcho, what's so strange about these things, it's just a spring, can you still take them?"

"Lord Viscount, if you look closely, it is not a stone that can cover the spring. ”

Bourcho said with a smile that he could find out that it was also caused by accident, and this thing was very secretive.

"Oh?"

Eric leaned down and stared at the stones carefully, and he really felt that two of them were a little different, and there was a slight difference in the lines.

But although he could see a slight gap, Eric felt that this was at most just a stone rolled here from other places, how could there be no special thing.

"Lord Viscount, it's not a stone, it's a living thing!"

Bourcho pointed to the two guys who had some different patterns from the other rocks.

"I didn't see it, but I knew that when I was fetching water today, I saw this thing move, and it actually opened and closed! ”

"If you look closely, it's a shell, but its shell is too similar to a stone. ”

"Then why do you say that the water we drink comes from it, so that the water in this spring is spit out from them?"

Since it was a living creature, and thinking of what Bourgeo said, Viscount Eric had an answer at once.

"That's right, Lord Viscount. At first, I didn't believe it, but when I reached out and took some water from the spring, it tasted bitter and slightly salty, which was a big difference from the taste of the spring water we usually drink. ”

"Besides, I probed the openings of these mussel shells, and there was indeed water flowing, and it was still fresh water. If you can bring it, it will be of great benefit to our route. ”

As he spoke, Bourcho was about to scoop up a mussel shell and bring it back to the camp, but was stopped by Viscount Eric.

"Let's not rush to take it away yet, after all, we don't know the habits of this thing, and we don't know if we can maintain its supernatural power after we take it. ”

"If something happens, we don't get anything, we lose the only water we have. ”

"That's true, Lord Viscount, we'll wait until the ship is almost repaired and we're about to leave the island before trying to take it with us. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Bourcho also felt that it made sense, and put it down for the time being, and then take them away together.

"Alright, it's time for us to go back, whether it's fishing or continuing to give energy to the ark, it takes a lot of time and effort. ”

As he spoke, Viscount Eric pressed the wound on his abdomen, and the range of movement was slightly larger, and there would be bursts of sharp pain when he pulled it.

Back in the humble camp, Zelin was mobilizing the strength of his whole body and injecting it into the ark. Bourcho stepped forward and took over from Zelin.

"If we had had a shell like that shell, we wouldn't have suffered such a terrible loss. If only the power of water in the boy of Alez could condense and store fresh water. ”

Thinking back to the tragic situation he suffered for the sake of fresh water, Eric always felt a breath gathering in his heart.

Like Alex, he has the power of water in his hands, and even if he attacks, he can condense a water dragon. But his own control is not enough, and if he wants to gather the moisture in the air, there must be a strong pressure to make them form.

But once the spiritual power uses more power, for the current level of Aletz, there is no way to let them be collected calmly.

Even if the spirit is dissolved in an instant, not to mention that it is harmful to oneself, the moisture contaminated with spiritual power is extremely active, and before it can be collected, most of it has already dissipated. If it is not until the last resort, no one will go back to do it.

"But it's not too late to get it, gods willing, so that the shell can really provide us with fresh water!"

At one time, Eric didn't believe much in God because he didn't feel how deep their existence was. And stepping into the mystery, even to this point, the reliance on God is much greater.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
