。 Their souls are carried away by the river, and I wonder if they will be carried into this turbulent sea? Will they return to the sea where they grew up**? "What, you regret it and want to jump from here?" Terrence's voice sounded behind him, and Vanessa barely heard his footsteps on the deck, "But I want to warn you that this place has entered the territorial waters of the Burning Nation, and even if you jump, it will be a dead corpse of our Burning Nation." ”

Vanessa sneered, "I won't do anything so cheap to you." ”

"Then why are you so sad? My Majesty the Queen. Terrence took Vanessa's hand and kissed it gently.

"I'm praying for my dead friend." Vanessa looked at the still sea.

Terrence's voice froze, then returned to normal, "You're talking about the merfolk who saved you countless times?" ”

"Yes." Vanessa lowered her head and said softly, "Once, I gave all my tears to redeem his soul, and I complained and resented that I could no longer shed tears; Now that he's dead, my tears are back, but they can no longer flow freely. ”

"You'll need them." Terrence said with a smile.

"What?" Vanessa didn't understand.

Terrence snorted, "I mean, you're going to use them to pray for Victor." ”

"Maybe. I miss him so much. Vanessa said casually.

What is he hiding. Vanessa looked at Terrence with a faint sense of unease.

For many days after that, Terrence didn't talk much to Vanessa, and they drifted at sea for a month, eventually reaching Cape Warm Wind.

The warm east wind sings over and over in Vanessa's ears, bringing the last bit of the scent of the country of midsummer into the queen's senses. Ever since she left the west coast of Neverwinter and headed north and east into the barren land of fire, the Burning Realm, she had been listening to this song of longing all the time. Vanessa would rather accept the wailing and chill of the cold wind than blow the sigh like a lover's whisper.

On her first day at Cape Breeze, Vanessa meets the guards of honor who have come to greet Terrence, who are simply welcoming the return of a war hero, not a defeated king.

As he headed east towards the town of Haibiao via the trading route, he encountered a number of troops, carriages, and men on horseback. By this time the sun had sunk to the west, giving off a hazy halo, and the pedestrians along the way dismounted and saluted the king, and children ran and danced happily in the crowd barefoot.

The people here love their king. This love, which does not increase or decrease by winning or losing wars, is in their minds the embodiment of God, and they will continue to love Him, right or wrong, until His place is taken by a new man.

There are three inland seas surrounding Haibiao Town, which is a resting place for ships to and fro, and also a distribution center for news from various sources. Of the ten coastal towns in the Burning Flame Country, only the main city, Huolong Town, was not built along the coastline. Not far away, the magnificent Sleeping Dragon City was built on a hill above the flat ground, and her banner swayed arrogantly in the cold wind, looking away from Haibiao Town.
