As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day is murderous and arsonous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。

But the night was neither dark nor windy, and our young master Rick, the priest, was not a murderer and arsonist.

Of course, Lord Rick Priest still had to take a trip outside the camp at night during the darkest hours of the night in order to find out during the day.

In the evening of the same day, we went to the top of the cliff together and found nothing, maybe there was a discovery, but it was not revealed.

The group returned to the bottom of the cliff and saw the makeshift camp set up by the five sailors who had been left behind.

Rick didn't say anything, but Missing Moon praised the five sailors fiercely, saying that when he returned to the ship, he would definitely tell Captain Danrith that the first mate and the five sailors had helped a lot and made outstanding contributions to the exploration of Gull Island.

God knows, apart from Rick's unstated discoveries so far, the biggest takeaway from this exploration of Gullbird Island is a few large bags of dried sea guano.

Returned to the makeshift camp and had dinner.

When discussing the manpower of the night vigil, Rick said that he could lead the Minotaur Steel Horn to be on duty in the second half of the night, and the senior who was missing the moon was on duty in the first half of the night, and the first mate and other sailors were ordinary people, and they had done a lot of work today, so they didn't need to be on duty, and they had a good rest.

There was no objection to the lack of moon, and of course the first mate would not object, and slightly expressed his concern for Rick, and agreed to Rick's request to be on duty in the second half of the night.

Naturally, Rick led the steel horn straight to his tent to rest, and didn't care about anything else.

A quarter of an hour before midnight, Rick opened his eyes.

Pushing up the steel horn resting next to him, he didn't say anything and went directly to the outside of the tent.

Rick saw that the bonfire that had been lit early in the middle of the camp was much smaller, and it seemed that Missing Moon and Qiangne, who were sitting next to the campfire, had deliberately shrunk the fire.

Rick walked to the fire, nodded to the missing moon, and asked, "Senior missing moon, how was the first half of the night, is there any situation?" ”

"Even, Priest Rick, you're awake. The first half of the night was calm and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I think the second half of the night will also be a beautiful and calm night. ”

"I think there shouldn't be any danger on this island except for the large flock of seabirds. As long as we don't provoke the large flock of seabirds, we should be able to explore the island safely. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I think, Priest Rick. You and the horns are on guard by the fire at the fire, and I've got a pot of ale here, so I'll leave it to you." ”

"Ah, you still have a pot of ale, I'm worried about being bored in the middle of the night, and this pot of ale is very refreshing. I really want to thank you, Missing Moon Senior. Good night's sleep. ”

"You're welcome, Priest Rick, then Jongen and I will go to rest. I'll leave it to you, Priestess Rick. ”

"Okay, Senior Missing Moon, don't worry about going and resting, everything here is with me, I don't think anything will happen."

Missing Moon nodded, didn't say anything, stood up, and led Qianggen, who had not spoken, to turn around and walk into his tent.

Rick beckoned Steelhorn to sit down next to the fire, and whispered to Steelhorn, "You can keep an eye on it here in a while, I'll go out and do something, if there's anything here, you can let go of the fireworks we got in the seamarket, and I'll try my best to rush back." Don't make a noise. ”

"Yes, Master Rick, don't worry, I'll leave it to me."

Just as Steel Horn was about to respond loudly to his Young Master Rick's request, he was covered by the quick-eyed Rick, and he could only whisper in Rick's ear to respond to his Young Master Rick's request.

"Be quiet, keep quiet, if I find something good outside, there will definitely be your share, you can rest assured that you are on duty here, if someone wakes up and asks me, you will say that it is convenient for me to go."

Rick let go of the horn and whispered another command.

This time, the steel horn could lower his voice: "Okay, Master Rick, you have to be careful when you go outside, if there is anything wrong, come back quickly, if there is danger, set off fireworks, I will go over to save you immediately." ”

"Well, I will. I'm gone, you look good here. ”

Then he turned around and walked out of the makeshift camp with Steelhorn in his worried eyes.

It is said that Rick's speed is not fast, but I don't know if it is because Rick's strength has increased a lot during this period of time, or because of other reasons.

Rick walked for more than an hour during the day to reach the top of the cliff.

It took only a quarter of an hour to reach the top of the cliff tonight.

Rick stood quietly on top of the cliff.

The bright moonlight in the sky shone on a large area of the sea, and also on the islands in this sea, the cliffs on the islands, Rick on the cliffs, and the stone beside Rick that looked like a girl kneeling on the top of the cliff.

Rick felt completely calm in the moonlight, his body and mind in an indescribable state.

Rick didn't deliberately control his consciousness, but just recalled the energy he sensed during the day, and let his body and mind in an unspeakable state naturally radiate spiritual power to find the source of that energy.

Then, Rick easily found, or connected to, the energy.

While sensing that energy, Rick sensed life and death, hope and despair, and at the same time sensed a hint of wisdom contained in that energy.

Rick sat down loosely next to the stone and reached out to hold the stone, increasing the output of his mental power.

Rick sensed that the source of that energy was in the stone next to him, and added a friendly and reassuring question to his mental power to pass it on.

"What kind of being are you? Can you communicate with me? If you think I'm bothering you, send me a message and I'll leave here immediately. ”

"Who are you? How can you talk to me? How did I understand what you mean? I didn't hear you, did I? ”

"Who am I, wait a while, you don't hear my voice but you can understand what I mean because I am using my spiritual power to talk directly to your consciousness, and what I want to express is directly transmitted to your consciousness and soul, and you can naturally easily understand what I want to express."

"I see, I see. Well, you should tell me who you are, right? ”

"Who am I? Oh, I'm a trainee priest serving His Highness the God of War, and my name is Rick. Charis, everyone else calls me Ric Priest. I was on a trial trip, and when I passed by this island, I sensed your presence, and I felt that your way of being was very strange, so I came to visit you. I would like to have a good discussion with you about the causes and consequences of your strange existence. Hope I didn't bother you. ”

"No, no, honorable Priest Rick, you didn't bother me. I've been alone for hundreds of years, and I've forgotten the exact year. In the past few hundred years, only some of the seabirds on this island have been able to communicate with me in a limited way, and if it weren't for my devout belief in His Highness the Poseidon and vaguely sensing the slightest concern of His Highness the Poseidon on me, I would have gone crazy a long time ago. It was my dream that you could come across the ocean to this island and communicate with me. ”

"Why, can you tell me your name? What do you want me to call you? ”

"Ah, it's me who was rude, a long time ago, when I was a human, my parents, elders, and friends called me Miss Blue Gull."

"You're a Blue Gull girl? I've heard your legend! ”

"Have you heard my legend? Priest Rick, what kind of legend? Can you tell me? ”

"There's nothing you can't do, Miss Blue Gull, and the legends about you in this sea are like this."
