Chapter 786: Accompanying the Funeral
The morning fog had not yet been completely dispelled by the dawn, and two galleons with white alum lifted sailed out of the island harbor in front and behind.
Half a day later, the two ships sailed into another part of the ocean.
Captain Randolph, dressed in pointy boots, came down from the upper deck.
"Those captives are right, this is indeed the Ory Sea, and as soon as I see the waters here, I can be sure that there is no place where the waters can be as pure blue as a car cornflower sapphire - ha, a storm has taken us directly across the waters of Little Pere and Nos to the waters of the Holy Empire!"
Andrei, who had taken the medicine, habitually covered his mouth and glanced at the sea, but he did not feel dizzy, he was still stimulated and immediately withdrew his gaze, muttering:
"It's just a little blue, what kind of car cornflower sapphire, I can't tell."
Captain Randolph glared at him, but instead of having a quarrel like before, he looked at Lin An.
"You said the islands on our map are more like islands off the coast of Norse and the waters of Ory, right?" Lin An asked.
"That's right, starting here, we're going to change course." Captain Randolph affirmed.
"Well, please first mate Reg take the captured three-masted ship back to the port of Oliverie in Pere, if nothing else, there will be someone to borrow them when he docks, please don't worry, let the person arrange it."
"Yes, sir!" Captain Randolph slung his shoulders.
Since he learned that Lin An could contact the people of Dandong and was going to accept prisoner of war ships in the name of the royal family, he had regarded this capture as a semi-military operation, and his attitude towards Lin An and others had also changed.
"I'm sorry, sir, for a word of caution," Captain Randolph corrected sternly, "Captain Reg is now the captain of the Lobster, not the first mate. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's a slip of the tongue, please pass on my apologies to Captain Reg next time." Facing Captain Randolph's face, Lin An said helplessly.
"The final handover of the fleet is approaching, so I beg your pardon for retiring, sir."
"Okay, please."
Captain Randolph bowed slightly and withdrew a few steps, then turned and strode away.
Lin An and the others who stayed on the ship faced the sea breeze, watching the sailors on the mast lookout of the two ships play the flag with bright flags, and several people have learned the meaning of some simple flags during the time they put them on.
Little Andreinen put on a side corner, the distance between the two ships slowly narrowed, and many sailors on the deck stopped what they were doing, and together with Lin An and others, they watched the three-masted sailing ship behind them gradually move away.
Lin An didn't stay on the deck and slowly walked back to the cabin.
Athena followed her in, her previous doll had been scrapped, but she had several spare ones with her, so no one noticed that she had changed bodies.
["Master, why do we continue with our original itinerary? It's not safe at sea. ”】
["There is not much difference between sea and land, we are in a hurry to return to the sea, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of the other party, and he will realize that we are just scaring him, and the next time we do it, it will not be so simple to avoid it. ”】
["It's a big deal to go back to the temple, the temple is absolutely safe. ”】
["Then I have to arrange for Andre to be said first,"] I can't part with Andre and them immediately, and it's the same as not being able to return to land immediately, ["But you don't have to worry too much, I guess he won't come again, at least not anytime soon."] ”】
For a strong person of Remus's level, it is already an exception to do something to her, and after failure, he may not be able to pull the bottom to do it again, sticking like kraft candy, which is not the style of this kind of person.
What's more, whether Lin An is the Marquise of Barofanik or not, it is the next policy to destroy her physically, and after his intentions are known, it is no longer meaningful to continue to target Lin An.
Lin An estimated that it would be too late for Remus to go back and adjust his plans, and he probably didn't have much time to pay attention to her at the moment, as long as she didn't show up in front of him.
Since Remus didn't come back immediately after being scared away, Lin An estimated that he probably wouldn't meet the other party again for a long time.
I wonder where his lair is?
……
The person who was guessed by Lin An was in the ...... of a glacier Interior – literally.
It is a huge glacier floating on the surface of the sea.
The cone-shaped pinnacles exposed above the sea are only three feet above sea level from the highest peak of Fitcher, the Silonia – of course, with the Fitcher-Tropsch pan-like basin topography, its highest peak is not much worth mentioning elsewhere – and the volume of glaciers submerged under the surface of the sea occupies nine-tenths of the total volume of the ice sheet.
The glacier is a huge size, larger than any isolated island known today, and it has been forming for nearly a millennium in the sea connecting the ice fields outside the Magic Principality, and in recent years it has been slowly expanding at a rate that is invisible to the naked eye but cannot be ignored.
Occasionally shedding a tenth or less of their volume from the body, allowing them to slowly slide into the sea, and the huge tongue of ice shattering into hundreds or thousands or even more parts, these icebergs drifting away with the ocean currents often become one of the reasons why a small number of ships in the Muse Continent leave port each year and never return to port.
Of course, the shedding of icebergs does not affect the size of glaciers, and like everything in the world, death and rebirth are often alternating – or simultaneous, with cold currents from the ice sheets and abundant seawater enough to make up for the missing parts quickly.
Like a forest that grows upside down under the surface of the sea, after a forest fire that destroys the forest of the Miè Mountains, the forest in its original location will still grow again, and it will grow and spread deeper into the ocean......
It is foreseeable that this huge glacier will continue to exist for thousands of years.
Deep in this glacier, filled with caves and linear ice crevasses, a crystalline mage tower towers out of obscurity within the glacier.
Inside the mage tower, which was covered with icy crystals, a naked man froze in a tall icicle.
He opened his eyes, and judging from the sparkle of those windows of his soul, he was still awake, but his body frozen in icicles could not move even a finger, and it was conceivable that in a lucid state, it was a terrible punishment.
"You are the seven hundred and thirty-sixth person who entered this mage tower, of course, you are just a real person...... I had considered making her the seven hundred and thirty-seventh, the future mistress—though it was only for a moment......"
The man standing in front of the icicle holds a glass of water and narrates to the real yàn in the icicle, as if he doesn't need a reaction from the other party, just a listener:
“…… Now, though, the matter has been settled. As a memorial to burying it, I think it should have a more meaningful funerary ......"
The narrator's gaze shifts to the Son in the icicle, whose eyes slowly but clearly reveal not the fear of death, but joy and calmness.
"Looks like you don't have a problem either...... That's fine, feelings like fear and resentment are too dirty, and when they are defiled, they don't deserve to be a burial object for my feelings to remember. ”
What a madman!
The Son of Dawn thought in his heart, but he still quickly controlled his mind and eliminated negative feelings.
He never imagined that he would go out of his way to cooperate with the murderer's request, lest the other party not kill him one day!
But he did not have the slightest fear or despair of death, and from the day he became the Son, the Father's heavenly gates were destined to be opened to him, and he was satisfied to avoid being desecrated by this evil and powerful heretical mage—
Although he had foreseen that the omnipotent power of the Father was destined to be ...... A mortal...... What you can't ...... Get a ...... of the smallest
His mind gradually became numb, and the Son slowly lost his awareness of the outside world.
An incomparably beautiful flower of light, blooming from the icicles.
……
Holy Empire, Holy Mountain.
"Divine Messenger, Divine Messenger!"
Hurried footsteps sounded on the white marble floor, and a blonde-haired girl hurried into the temple, only to realize her gaffe when she saw the back of the not generous but calming looking.
"Something's wrong, Shariah."
The young white-haired oracle turned around and asked Wen Xu.
His appearance has not changed much, his temperament is as gentle and peaceful as ever, and even the solemnity brought by the magic robe with multiple divine arts and embroidered gold and silver divine symbols on his body is also silently neutralized by his own temperament.
Being in his confines, the aura of holiness and peace evokes the feeling of being in heaven, and it is this aura that, although the divine envoy has been very low-key since he was pared, no one in the Holy See can ignore his existence.
Moreover, because every three-day reception day, believers who are fortunate enough to meet the Divine Envoy in person and receive blessings will spontaneously preach the deeds of the Divine Envoy after leaving the temple, and among ordinary believers, the prestige of the Divine Envoy has gradually caught up with that of the One Father.
As the two maidens who were able to serve beside the oracle, Sariya calmed down as soon as she saw the young oracle and received the news.
After calming down, she lowered her eyes, leaned over slightly, and said solemnly:
“…… The gates of heaven have been opened to Theseus, the son of the Dawn. ”
The white-haired god shook his face slightly, and made a prayer in front of him, "...... The gracious Father has called back His beloved child, and he will find eternal peace in the Father's kingdom. ”
"Will the Light that has escaped before the Sons of Dawn return to Heaven point us to the location of the blasphemer, Shariah, and find the final place of the Light?"
The young god asked, a more mature and calm looking maid behind him.
