Chapter 57: The Truth, the Breakthrough, and the Departure
The bright moonlight spreads over the blue sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sea breeze and tides, and the cool meaning swept across the sea surface, waving up waves.
"Wow!
Wow!
"The waves crash against the cliffs of Gull Island, and around the cliffs, all kinds of seabirds are quietly curled up in their nests.
At the foot of the cliff, in the makeshift camp of the explorers sent by the merchant ship Thonnennes, the Minotaur Steel Horn stared nervously at the surroundings with wide eyes.
In the tent of the camp, the first mate of the merchant ship Thonnis and the five sailors slept in their bunks.
In another tent, the barbarian Qianggen was holding the handle of his tomahawk in one hand and his fist in the other, curled up in the corner of the tent with his eyes wide open, and at first glance, it seemed that he was about to launch a fierce attack.
If you take a closer look and listen to it, you will find that Qianggen's breathing is steady, his chest rises and falls regularly, and the sound of snoring spreads throughout the tent with Qianggen's snort.
In another corner of this tent, there is a lack of moon. Anders's body took on a peculiar posture, exhaling and inhaling slowly and longly, obviously in a special state of cultivation.
On the top of the cliff, Rick closed his eyes cross-legged, one hand on his knees, and the other on the stone next to him, seemingly shining in the moonlight for some kind of cultivation.
In fact, Rick is using his spiritual power to communicate with the spirit of the Blue Gull girl trapped in the stone, and is telling her the legend of the Blue Gull girl that he has heard in this sea area.
Psychic communication is a method of communicating quickly.
It didn't take long for Miss Blue Gull to learn about the various legends about herself.
Naturally, it also triggered Miss Blue Ou's memories of the past, which made her mood obviously lower a lot.
Rick's spiritual power is communicating with the spirit of the blue gull girl, and it is easy to find her depressed mood, and subconsciously wants to comfort the blue gull girl, so he sends a small message of comfort to the past.
"Miss Blue Gull, legend has it that I have finished speaking, hundreds of years have passed, and you are now in such a special state, so you should not be obsessed with those things that have been in the past for a long time. In my opinion, the most important thing for you now is to find out what is going on with your current special state, whether you are trapped in a stone, and whether there is a way to free yourself, which is the best for you. ”
"Things from the past? No, no, things have not passed. Priest Rick, I know you're a good guy (Rick mutters to himself, why was he given a good guy card all of a sudden!) However, there are many details of that incident that no one else knows. I know very well that there is no past in the past. Come to think of it, you also saw the battle that took place in the sky off the island during the day, and that was actually a follow-up to that incident. ”
"Of course I know about the battle during the day, didn't that monster run away at the end? Actually, it didn't make it, and it was destroyed by me and my companions. ”
"Ah, Priestess Rick, thank you so much that you and your companions wiped out that mutated two-headed wurm. That way, my seabird friends and I have a few more years to recuperate. ”
"No thanks, Miss Blue Gull, after all, we got a lot of good things by killing that monster. What I actually want to know most now is that you said that the matter is not over, what, what happened in the first place? How come this is hundreds of years old, and there will be such a follow-up event? I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me? ”
"Nothing is inconvenient. I still remember that incident vividly. After all, it was about my favorite, Johnny's experience, which had been held in my heart for hundreds of years, and since Johnny sacrificed his soul, I had long wanted to find a noble priest who served His Highness the sea god to confide in the past that had left me with grief. However, I was trapped in this rock. And in the past few hundred years, except for the first group of attendants of His Highness the Sea God who came in a hurry and went again, and I didn't have time to communicate with them at all, only you, the noble priest serving His Highness the God of War, communicated with me calmly and listened to me. Although I don't believe in His Highness the God of War, I only believe in His Highness the Sea God, but in this case, I think that the kind Priest Rick will definitely help me pass on my confiding to the priests and adults of the Sea God. ”
"I will, as long as I have the opportunity, I will pass on your confiding to the priests and lords of His Highness the Sea God. It's almost dawn, so tell me what happened. ”
"Yes, Priest Rick. Let me tell you, most of the legends you told me are true, except for a few differences. First of all, one of my favorite fleets where Johnny works was not lost on the island that surfaced, but was destroyed by dragons flying out of the island. At that time, Johnny's team saw the island come to the surface. Then, from a distance, a giant dragon with a mixture of golden, silver, white, fire, red, blue, and green flew from afar. The dragon attacked the island that had risen to the surface, and then rushed out of the island a dark, yellow-glowing dragon. Then the two dragons fought to the death, and the aftermath of the battle swept over Johnny's fleet, easily destroying the entire fleet, and most of the fleet died, except Johnny and Parry, the four youngest, most water-based people, escaped and made it to the island that floated. Later, the dragon that flew out of the island fell into the sea, and the dragon with its whole body mixed with colors was also seriously injured and left the sea. Johnny and the four of them are on the island waiting for rescue. When the four of them were on the island, they found the treasure of the fallen dragon, but unfortunately, many of the treasures in the treasure had special protective magic, and Johnny and the four of them couldn't get it at all, and in the end, Johnny and the four of them only got a few treasures each. And the main treasure Johnny got was a magic scroll that caused me to be in the state I am in now. At that time, the five-headed monster attacked our fishing village on the island indiscriminately, and soon killed half of the island's villagers. Johnny and I, along with the rest of the villagers, fled to the top of the cliff, and the monsters approached as they saw it coming. Johnny took out the magic scroll and sacrificed his blood and soul to protect my body with petrification, but my soul communicated with all the seabirds that inhabited the island, and commanded the seabirds to fight the monsters for a while. After I was lucky enough to get rid of those monsters, I sent a message to the rest of the villagers through the seabirds I communicated with, and they should leave the island quickly. Later, the group of priests who served His Highness the Sea God came to the island, and I don't know what they sensed, but they came and went quickly. There are also some adventurers who come to this island, and as long as there is no large number of damage to the island's seabirds, I ignore them. Later, every once in a while, some strange monsters would come to the island. Just like during the day, the seabirds under my command will fight the monsters to the death. ”
"Why? Why are you fighting, Miss Blue Gull? There are no more fishing villages on the island, and the villagers are gone, so as long as you command the seabirds on the island to leave the island, it will be difficult for the monsters to find them, and they will not come to the island again after a while. ”
"No, you're wrong, the villagers can leave, because they are few in number, and those who don't have the ability yet, staying here is going to die. I'm a soul trapped in a stone now, and it doesn't matter. However, the seabirds will never leave this island, and they have been breeding on this island for much longer than we humans do. In their eyes, this island is their ancestral home, and any existence with malicious intent to harm this island is their undying enemy. ”
So it turned out that these seabirds were fighting for their homeland.
So if I am in battle, what am I fighting for?
Rick asked himself a question in his mind.
Then, Rick thought of his previous life, and what he said to the mysterious Mr. Xia when he crossed over, he wanted a chance to detach, and he wanted to detach.
And if you want to be detached, you must first save your life.
In battle, in addition to strong defense, you must also have great strength, and of course, you must have a wise and strong heart.
Not to mention the strong defense, strong power, and wisdom of the mind, after all, it is not something that can be achieved at once, but can only be possessed after a long period of practice and study.
But a strong mind can be possessed as long as it is comprehended.
And to comprehend a strong mind, of course, you must understand what you are fighting for.
Rick's heart flashed with inspiration, and he thought that he didn't just want to fight to protect his own life, no matter what kind of existence he wanted, as long as he wanted his own life, he would fight with him.
Thinking of this, Rick suddenly felt as if he was communicating with a being in the underworld, and he described his understanding of combat to that being, of course, Rick would not mention the ideal he wanted to transcend.
Then that being gave back some energy to itself.
Rick knew that he was about to advance to the official Priesthood of War.
When Rick realized why he was fighting, the bridge of mental power between Rick and the Blue Gull girl could not be maintained and was disconnected.
It wasn't until Rick felt that he was about to advance that Rick communicated with Miss Blue Gull again.
"I see, Miss Blue Gull, I apologize to you for my misunderstanding of the purpose of your fight with your seabirds, and I hope you accept it and forgive me for my wrong thoughts."
"Ah, Priest Rick, you are such a good man, do you have any ill intentions, although I misunderstood the purpose of the battle between me and my seabirds, but it was also unintentional, of course I will forgive you, and I would like to ask you what state I am in now? Please be sure to help me and do your best to help me get out. ”
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss Blue Gull. Your current state, I just thought about it, and I think there is a description of your existence in the classics that is very close to your current state. As far as I know, the name of that being is called 'Earth', and it evolved from the Earthbound Spirits who received the power of faith. After the earth only went one step further and ignited its own divine fire, it was the resident god who was in charge of one side. Although it is only equivalent to a demigod, it is also a very powerful existence in its own territory. ”
"Ah, gods, how can I become a god, I devout believe in His Highness the sea god."
"How is it impossible, as long as you accumulate enough power of faith, and ask His Poseidon to exert his boundless divine power to ignite the power of your faith and make it your own divine fire, you will become the attendant god of the Poseidon Temple. Then don't you become a god? ”
"Is this really going to work, thank you, thank you for showing me the way forward, Priest Rick, if I am lucky enough to be the acolyte of His Highness the Poseidon, I will definitely repay you."
"Hehe, let's talk about it then. I don't know how long it will take. Saying, igniting a divine fire is a very dangerous thing, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I think that as long as I sincerely believe in His Highness the Sea God, I will definitely turn evil into good fortune."
"Well, as long as you have a score in your own heart, I won't say anything more. I'm leaving, and when I get to the mainland, I'll pass your confession to the priests of the Poseidon Temple. ”
"Well, thank you one last time, Priest Rick, and I'll pray like His Highness the Sea God for a safe journey. Goodbye, good priest Rick. ”
"Goodbye, Miss Blue Gull."
Rick stood up and turned to walk towards the makeshift camp at the bottom of the cliff.
As she walked, she thought that she was a priest serving His Highness the God of War, but the Blue Gull girl prayed to His Highness the Sea God, asking him to bless herself, how strange it felt, and I don't know what His Highness the God of War and His Highness the Sea God would reflect if they knew.
They will definitely know to put it, they will definitely know to put it.
