infoThe two of them were lying on the deck of the boat, lying on a deck chair with their own parasols, eating exquisite snacks and drinking refreshing drinks, which was a comfortable thing that people who had never enjoyed it like this could not imagine at all.
However, the content of their chats can have nothing to do with enjoyment at all.
The two of them were chatting about the legend of Gull's Island.
Of course, the main thing is the lack of months. Anders was presenting at Rick. Challis was listening, and occasionally, Rick would interject a sentence or two, asking for some details about the missing month.
And Missing Moon also took the trouble to tell Rick the legends and various situations of Gull Island to the best of his ability.
"Gull Island wasn't originally called that. As for the original name, it has been completely forgotten because of the long relationship. Here, because this forgotten name has little impact on the legend, I don't pay attention to it anymore. Or just use the name 'Gull Island'. And the reason why it is called now is because the island is inhabited by large flocks of gulls. ”
Missing Moon first said a few things about the name Gullbird Island.
"It's okay, we just need to know what this name is about, you don't need to explain it anymore, you don't need to explain it, let's talk about it next, I really want to know what this legend is."
Rick also appears to be interested in the legend of the island of gulls.
"Well, I'll move on. There used to be dozens of families on this island of gulls and birds, and every family made a living from fishing. At that time, civilians did not catch gulls, nor did they dig for gulls' nests, let alone harm their eggs and chicks. So on the south side of the island, there is a cliff where many gulls make their home. And the people on the island, as long as they have a little free, will go to feed these gulls. One of the feeders was the girl who went the most. This girl has only a first name, no surname, just a most ordinary commoner. The people on the island call her Miss Blue Gull. At that time, the inhabitants of this island were very simple and ordinary people. I don't have much contact with the mainland, that is, I go to a small town on the mainland every month to exchange some daily necessities. This life continued for several generations, until the Blue Gull Girl's generation came of age and an incident occurred that changed the fate of everyone on this small island. ”
Speaking of which, Missing Moon picked up the drink and took a sip unhurriedly.
"What's going on? Is the fate of all the people on the island for better or for the worse? Is it related to the blue gull girl? ”
Rick asked his question directly.
"Oh, don't worry, Priest Rick. Aren't you models known for being the most calm? ”
Missing Moon made a joke.
Rick's face turned slightly red, and he didn't answer the words, but said: "Senior Missing Moon, you hurry up and talk about the legend, and we'll talk about the rest later." ”
Missing Moon didn't say anything else, but directly began to talk about the legend.
"Before I talk about what happened to the island of gulls and birds, I want to explain that although the island is full of ordinary people, all the people believe in His Highness the God of the Sea, and they are devout disciples of His Highness the Sea God. And in the end, many people say that it was the miracle that His Highness Poseidon showed to solve it. Of course, there are some people who don't believe it, but that's none of our business. ”
"Well, don't talk about the issue of faith, as long as it doesn't affect other people, the issue of faith is a very self-related issue."
"Well, you're right, Priest Rick. I'll move on to the legends. ”
Of course, Rick is reluctant to talk about faith with others, because on the surface he is a priest of His Royal Highness the God of War, and he should be very devout in believing in His Highness the God of War, but in fact, he does not believe in the God of War, he believes in the fighting philosophy of the God of War.
According to the myths and legends of the East in Rick's previous life, the God of War is a Dao ancestor-level existence that merges the Dao, while Rick does not believe in the Dao ancestor-level existence of the God of War, he believes in the Dao of the God of War.
"It is said that the fishermen of Gull Bird Island formed two fleets and went to the open sea to fish. The two fleets rotated so that if something happened, someone would be able to rescue them in time. In fact, it is said that there are two fleets, and there are only seven small boats with a size of more than ten meters in total. This fishing life lasted for several generations, until the generation of the blue gull girl grew up and lived like this. The blue gull girl has a childhood sweetheart who grew up with a good friend. It's a great guy who is two years older than the blue gull girl. The two families have also been friends for several generations, so they decided to marry the two of them early. Just wait for both of them to reach adulthood, and the wedding will be held. On this small island, as soon as a man reaches adulthood, he joins one of two fleets and goes out to sea with the boat to fish in order to support his family. And the fiancé of the blue gull girl is naturally no exception, he chose a boat early and became the crew member of that fishing boat. Then I started to go to sea to fish several times a month. And every time when her fiancé goes out to sea to fish, the blue gull girl will go to the highest cliff on the island to pray to His Highness Poseidon that His Highness will bless her fiancé with a safe return full of fish. Every time she went back to the cliff to pray, she would bring some food, which was fed by the blue gull girl to the gulls that nested on the cliff. Later, every time, as long as the blue gull girl arrived at the cliff, those gulls would spontaneously fly around the blue gull girl. The view, tsk! I think it's beautiful. ”
"Yes, a young girl walks on a cliff under the clear water and blue sky, and countless snow-white gulls and birds are flying around her. It's a beautiful picture! ”
Rick sighed as he imagined it.
Of course, I didn't forget to ask the next question, "What happened later?" ”
"Later, there was a time when Miss Blue Gull's fiancé's fleet did not come back at the time it was supposed to return. Most of the inhabitants of the island believed that the fleet was only shipwrecked, and that the whole fleet was only afraid of bad luck. However, there are still people on the island who do not give up and ask another fleet to look for it. Let's not just bring everyone back, but at least find the wreck of the shipwreck. However, the fleet went to sea to search for more than ten days, but did not find the slightest trace of the shipwrecked fleet. The people on the island are desperate, and every family is ready to mourn, but Miss Blue Gull is confident that her fiancé will not be killed and will definitely return. Then, the blue gull girl insisted on praying on the top of the cliff every day, and the prayer time was much longer. Of course, whenever she has free time, Miss Blue Gull will go to a few captains in the remaining fleet on the island, hoping that they will go back to find her fiancé. Finally, the captains were impressed by the blue gull girl and agreed to go looking for her. Then, I don't know if it was the Blue Gull girl who touched the sea god or the Blue Gull girl's fiancé was really good with her, but she was really found by those captains and brought back. Then the people on the island asked the survivors of Miss Blue Gull's fiancé what was going on, was it on the rocks? Or did you run into a whirlpool? Or maybe you encounter a monster in the sea? No one asked if they had encountered a storm, because the rare weather they had been out at sea for dozens of days was very good, and there was not a single storm. However, when these survivors told their stories, everyone present was taken aback. It turned out that the fleet of Blue Gull Girl's fiancé did not run aground, nor did he encounter monsters in the sea, let alone whirlpools. They came across a floating treasure island. At that time, most of the people in the fleet saw that a small island had risen from the bottom of the sea, and this small island had been floating with the fleet for half a day in the sea. Then, several captains of the fleet discussed sending some men to explore the island. When the explorers came back, they found a cave with treasure on the island, and everyone on board could not sit still. Everyone flocked to the treasure cave on the island, and sure enough, all kinds of treasures were piled up. So what else to say, let's move. Because all the people are fellow villagers who have lived together for more than ten years, naturally there will be no garbage such as killing people for treasure. is saying that there are too many treasures, and everyone can share a little bit casually, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink for a lifetime. However, when they carried the treasure to the seashore, they found that their fleet was gone. The last few who left the fleet swore that they would leave with all the ships tied up on the island and would never float away on their own. But no matter how much is said, the ships are gone, all the people are trapped, and at this time, no matter how much treasure there is, it is useless. Without food and clean water, all people will die of thirst or starvation sooner or later. At first, everyone tried their best to save themselves, but after a few days, most of them gave up and found a place on the island to die. Only the five people including the fiancé of the blue gull girl did not give up, and they were trying their best to survive, until the follow-up fleet found the floating island and rescued the remaining few people. And each of these lucky survivors brought back some treasures from the treasure, so naturally they had to find a way to exchange the treasures for gold coins, so that everyone could have a good life. However, just when everyone was thinking about how much they could get by finally living a good life, a group of strange creatures flew from the sea outside the island. The creatures have the body of a human, the wings of a bird, the head of a lizard, and a snake-like tail that makes sounds. There were five of them, and they made strange noises in their mouths and tails at the same time, and when they arrived on the island, they went on a killing spree, and killed any living creatures they saw. Naturally, the people on the island will resist, but those monsters will fly, and they will always force the remaining people on the island to the cliff where Miss Blue Gull usually prays. Among those remnants are Miss Blue Gull and her fiancé. Just when the rest of the people were about to despair, Miss Blue Gull and her fiancé prostrated themselves on the top of the cliff and began to pray to the god of the sea. I don't know if it was really the Blue Gull Girl's prayers that worked, or if it was because she usually fed the gulls a lot, but the many gulls on the cliff flew up and launched a suicidal attack on the five monsters that were wreaking havoc on the island. After a hard battle, two of the five monsters were killed, and three more fled. But the island's gulls have also suffered heavy losses. Later, according to the survivors of the island, seventy percent of the gulls on the island died. When the monster fled, everyone remembered Miss Blue Gull, and when they came to take a look, they found that Miss Blue Gull's fiancé had died of anger without knowing what was going on. And the blue gull girl herself has directly turned into a stone statue sitting cross-legged on a mountain cliff. Later, all the survivors said that it was Blue Gull's piety and love for her fiancé that moved His Highness Poseidon to save the rest of the island. And the blue gull girl also paid the price, her soul returned to the Poseidon Palace, but her body was turned into a stone statue by the Poseidon Highness. However, the fiancé of the Blue Gull girl saw the change of the Blue Ou girl, and he couldn't stand it for a while, so he ended his own life, praying that His Highness the Sea God would take his soul away. Later, the survivors of the island moved away from the island of Gulls because they were afraid that the escaped monster would attack the island again, and there were no more people living on the island. Later, it is said that the Poseidon Temple sent many priests and cathars to bring back the stone statue of the island's Blue Gull Maiden. As for whether it was successful, there was no news of it. ”
"I see, it seems that the danger on the island lies in the cliff. I'm afraid that the place that has to do with our ability is also there. You see, right? Missing moon seniors. ”
"There is some truth, who knows? What, is Ric Priest interested in exploring the island? ”
"Hehe, let's talk about it then. Missing moon senior, I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a while, you can do it yourself. ”
"Okay, Priest Rick, you can rest and leave me alone."
