The black robe in front of him was rolled, like a ceremonial flower rising in the night sky, Vanessa was wrapped in a powerful force outside the hall, Sansilo's hand touched the corner of Vanessa's clothes, and the magic light wave exploded between him and the princess, and with a loud bang, the Scarface Warrior was knocked back a few steps, leaving a slight nick on the ground, and the princess was missing in the blink of an eye.

"Find her! Get her! "The strange scream of Tertu running out of tune rang out in the hall.

I'm the dividing line*******

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the princess could finally tell whether the darkness above her head was coming from the cliff or the sky. After five heartbeats, a dull roar was heard in the distance, like the beat of a drum on a battlefield in the distant sky.

Surrounded by black rock walls, Vanessa could hear the crashing of the waves crashing against the bottom of the rocks, and the ground beneath her feet was sloping, uneven and ravine-thick, making it easy to trip and fall into the depths of the sea outside if she wasn't careful. The contrast between the darkness here and the bright and peaceful world outside is so strong that it is almost two worlds.

"Sorry, there's no place for you to sit." The black-robed woman rescued Vanessa and led her to the unknown cave, where she was holding a short staff with a magical ball of light on the end to illuminate the princess. Behind her, several long-tailed lemurs shyly poked their heads out and looked at Vanessa curiously.

"What is this place?" Vanessa thought for a moment, then added, "I mean the island, Tertu, the undead creatures—and, you. ”

"My name is Inara," the black-robed woman shook the princess with her withered hand, "Welcome to the Island of Eternal Life." Her hands were wet and cold, just like the look in her eyes. Then she unbuttoned her black robe to reveal a long gray-blue cotton dress, and Vanessa saw a circle embroidered on her chest with pink thread, and inside the circle was a thin lightning bolt - the logo of the prophet.

Vanessa was so surprised that she could barely speak, "You're a prophet?" ”

Inara looked at her logo and nodded, "Yes, Princess." ”

Does she know me? Vanessa thought uneasily. Of course she knew about me, and could see everything in the crystal ball, so did she see what I did to Grandma Glabe? Will they be mother and daughter, sisters, or good friends?

"Your friends are in danger," Inara pointed overhead, "they've fallen under Tertu's magic." ”

"I know that," Vanessa nodded, "please tell me what is going on here, I want to know the truth." ”

"The truth?" Inara sneered, "You won't want to know. But she still straightened her face and spat out a shocking truth: "This is not an island at all, we are now on the back of a large sea turtle." ”

"Turtles?" Vanessa burst out laughing, "No wonder her name is Teltu." ”

"It's a little uncreative to get a name, but her magic is amazing." Inara smiled, "Turtles have a long lifespan, and she wants to live longer, so she started looking for gaps in and out of the world. ”

Gaps in and out of the world? Vanessa struggled to understand the words, it wasn't difficult for her, didn't she often travel between different planes, but it would cost her the lives of the Reina people.

"Eventually, she found a way to collect all the life that fell out of the rift in space-time."

"We fell out of the rift in spacetime?" Vanessa pointed to herself incredulously, "We came here through the Gate of Guò Dolon. ”

"The Gate of Doron? The door that the ** prince made? Inara asked. Vanessa rolled her eyes, whatever she pleased, and nodded. Inara shook her head, "Theoretically, you can't go wrong with magic items, you must have made a mistake somewhere to get to Tertu's back." ”

Vanessa thought for a moment and said, "It was chaotic when we came, and I only had time to think about 'safe places' when the Gate of Doron teleported us here. ”

"That's it," Inara teased the sea in front of her forehead, "this place has been made into a safe paradise, and all those with the same purpose have been transported here, and this is how Tertu can continue his life." ”

"What is she going to do with them?" Vanessa asked, remembering the shocking wounds on the undead.

"She will make a pact with them," Inara said emotionlessly, "to squeeze their lives." ”

"I've seen those poisons, she's going to poison them!" Vanessa exclaimed, "But that's not the safest place!" Something went wrong at the Gate of Doron! ”

"No," Innala reassured, "she doesn't kill them, she just fuses their lives with her own blood, and within the confines of this island, their lives no longer belong to the Grim Reaper, they become immortal beings, in other words, they become the scales on her tortoise shell, and even if the individual is crushed into a puddle of mud, they coexist with Tertu." ”

Vanessa's hands and feet were cold when she heard this, and a chill ran down her spine. After a while, she came back to her senses, "This is more terrible than killing them!" ”

"Yes, she's going to have to keep replenishing new blood to keep the island shiny and replace the scales that aren't needed."

"Unwanted scales?"

"Why do you think those people were hurt?" Inara squinted at Vanessa, as if questioning her intelligence, "People live without a purpose, and when they are mad, they start attacking each other, and they are proud of the ones with the most wounds on their bodies, and these people are bound to frighten the newcomers, and may make the newcomers refuse to make alliances, such creatures are gray matter scales in Tertu's eyes, and they must be replaced, the space when they are thrown back, she calls this 'metabolism'." Inara shrugged, "And me, of course." ”

"You're the hermit snail on the giant turtle." Vanessa gestured to the lemur behind Inara, "And them." If I'm right, that leopard was also sent by you to remind us, right? ”

Innara nodded sadly, "It's a pity that only you have stayed awake, Prince Brant does not have the blood of a king, and he can't resist the temptation of Teltu, and things are starting to get worse than I expected." ”

"Tell me that you don't have an alliance with Tertu, you can come and go on this island at any time, and there is a way to get us out, right?" Vanessa suddenly felt stupid to ask for this, if Inna could get out, would she still secretly live in this damp little cave?
