Chapter 119: Frosttrail Island
After bidding farewell to the fifth team of the Knights of the Stars who had built a pontoon bridge, the Enigma quickly made its way to the mouth of the Garland River. Led by Tallagaril, the Mystery first sailed in the direction of Overwatch Island.
When Tarregalil reported the discovery of the Overwatch Island to Friedley, Friedrier looked at the island with only a protruding hill in the sea, and his mouth grew in surprise.
"Are you sure this is Overwatch Island?" Friedlier asked Tarregalir.
"Taru, according to the direction we are traveling, the speed, and the time, the hill that appears in front of us now is indeed the Watch Island, and this should be the peak of the hill on the Watch Island." Tarregalil said.
"Oh my God, the sea has risen so high," Friedreel muttered in surprise.
"Taru, are we going to land at Watch Island?" "Speaking of which, the camp built by Eril must have been flooded. β
"Come to the shore, I'm going to take a look."
The boat docked on the side of the hill, and Oeve disembarked with Friedlier.
"Are you looking for something?" Oeve looked around at Friedreer and asked, "It looks deserted. β
"I set up a camp here before, and I wanted to see if the people who lived here before had left without any problems." Friedlier said, looking around the Watch Island.
"Do you think they all left without a hitch?" Oeve asked, looking at the barren hills.
"They should all be gone." "I don't see any signs of people living on the hill here, and I think they left before the sea flooded the camp." β
"They?" Eve asked, "Did you mean that they included Siberis?" β
Friedlier smiled and said, "Yes, of course." β
"Okay." Oeve whispered.
After the Overwatch Island was replenished with some fresh water, the Enigma continued its voyage. It crossed the stormy sea and entered the waters off the coast of the Featon Islands. And when the outline of Frosttrail Island appeared on the sea a few days later, Tarregalil and a few of the Phetton warriors couldn't help but shout and sing excitedly.
"In the dark night, the ancestors woke me up. They have given me how to make a sound, and I will sing it. They taught me how to love, and I will not die until I die. Nothing can stop my singing, nothing can stop my love. The sun can't, the moon can't. I will sing the song to the other side of the ice sea, to the eternal tomorrow. β
Friedreel was excited at first, accompanied by the singing of Tare Galil and several warriors, but his mood became heavier and heavier as the Enigma approached Frosttrail Island. Because he saw that the land that had nurtured him, and which belonged to him, had now become extremely strange.
After making sure that the Enigma had sailed past the coastline of Frosttrail Island, Friedlear whispered, "Ice Whispering Harbor, shouldn't it be there?" β
"Taru, we... It seems to be sailing through the area of Ice Whispering Harbor. "Even the tall cedar trees on the hill behind the Ice-Whispering Harbor seem to have sunk into the sea and under our ship. β
"Go in the direction of the Frost Valley, the people of the island will definitely go there to avoid the water." Friedlier said, looking at the shoulder of the mountain in the distance.
"Okay, hopefully they're all okay."
The Mystery came to shore at a gentle slope with a stream behind the shoulder of the mountain, and the group dismounted.
"This is your territory, isn't it? Lord Friedlier. Oeve asked Friedlier as he looked at a waterfall cascading down a gorge in the distance.
"That's right, this is my home." Fridlier leaned over and picked up a handful of clear water, took a sip, and said.
"It's beautiful here."
"Thanks for the compliment. Thankfully, it's warmer now, and if you had been here a month earlier, I don't think you would have said that. Friedlier said.
"Why?" Oeve asked.
"Because then you're just going to say, oh my God, it's so cold in here." Friedreel said with a smile.
"Really?" Oeve smiled and said, "But I'm not afraid of the cold at all. β
Guided by Tare Galil and several Feyton warriors, the group slowly moved over the rugged rocks and into the valley of the mountains.
After walking for a long time, Friedriel heard Tare Galil shouting into the distance. Then, he saw a Frosttrail warrior with a bow and arrow running briskly towards him amid Tarregalil's shouts.
"Taru!" The warrior asked in incredible surprise when he came to Friedreel, "Friedrier Taru!" Is it really you?! β
"Of course it's me." Friedlier smiled at the warrior and said, "Dear warrior, tell me, in which valley are the people now?" β
"Taru... People are mostly in the second valley of frost trails too. The warrior put away his bow and arrows and asked Friedlier, "Taru, have you just returned here?" β
Friedreel nodded.
"You must not know that Taru, in fact, most of the islanders, they have already left here." There was a hint of loneliness in the soldier's voice, "They are all under the organization of Evenson, and they have gone to the immigrant camp in the north of the Golden Coast. β
"Most of the people have gone to the Eastern Continent?" Friedlier asked, surprised.
"Yes, Taru." The warrior said, "Actually, not only our island, but also many other islanders have left Feiton and gone to the eastern continent under the leadership of their Taru. β
"Was it the king's order?" Friedlier asked.
"It's Rickliel, Taru. You didn't know that there was a power struggle within us in Featon, and King Tofoli suddenly disappeared at that time. Rickliel has since acted as king. The warrior said.
Friedreel glanced at Tarregalir in some surprise before continuing to the warrior, "Is the king still missing?" β
"Yes, Taru." The warrior said.
"Then he must have been assassinated by Rickrell." After saying something to himself, Friedlier turned to the warrior in front of him and continued to ask,
"Do you know the situation on the Eastern Continent? How are people living when they go there? β
"According to the sailors who returned to the sea, we have successfully captured most of the western part of the king of the north called Sigi in the west of the king of the north of Azor, through two raids."
"Hmm." Friedlier thought for a moment and asked, "Since everyone has gone to the Eastern Continent, why did you and the others stay here and not leave?" β
"Taru, I and some other warriors are planning to leave with their families when the ship returns." "There is less and less food to collect on the island. β
"When is the ship coming?" Friedlier asked, "Is it our warship?" β
"The ship will be there in about five days." The warrior said, "The ship is supposed to be the Bear Slayer, which has been charging to transfer everyone. β
"Charges?" Friedlier was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Siberis is charging you?" β
"Taru, Siberis, she sold her ship to a few warriors in order to save a few maids." "It's the fighters who are collecting the fees. β
"She sold the ship?" Friedlier asked, surprised.
The warrior nodded.
"Where is Sibris, where is she now?" Friedlier immediately asked.
"Thisβ" The warrior hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"What's wrong?" Friedlier asked, "Didn't she stay on the island with Mikicharan?" β
"Taru, the Bear Slayer, she and the Sage, they went to Snowcrow Island, and Snowcrow Islandβ" the warrior said after a moment's hesitation, "and the Talon volcano of Snowcrow Island erupted at that time. β
Friedlier was shocked when he heard this, and he only felt that his mind went blank.
"The eruption was very violent, and I heard that many people died." The warrior's voice became a little mournful, "So far, no one knows the whereabouts of the bear slayer and the sage. It's been more than three months since this happened, I'm afraid..."
Friedlier raised his hand slightly, motioning for the warrior to stop talking. After a moment of silence, Friedrell turned to look in the direction of Snow Raven Island and took a deep breath.
"Taruβ" Tarregalil saw what was on Friedrie's mind, and after a moment of silence he reassured, "the sage, and the bear slayer, they'll be fine. They are both wise and courageous. β
"Where's Eriel?" After a soft sigh, Friedlier turned to the warrior and continued, "Did he die from a volcanic eruption?" β
"No, Ariel Taru just left Snowcrow Island before the eruption." The warrior said.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Erir Taru, he should be in the Sigi region with his islanders now." "I've heard from the sailors that Evenson is leading his army and plundering the neighborhood. β
"Sigi region...."Friedlier whispered, lost in thought.
"How many warriors are there on the island now?" After pondering for a moment, Friedlier turned to the warrior in front of him and asked.
"There are about fifty more." The warrior said.
"Okay, go tell them to assemble and board my ship. I immediately led them to the Sigi region of Azar. Friedlier said.
After the warrior was ordered to leave, Friedreel turned to Brulis, "Brulis, now that Siberis's whereabouts are unknown, I need to go to the territory of the King of the North of Atholl to find her as soon as possible." β
"Missing?" Brullis was surprised and asked, "What happened to her?" β
After a brief explanation of what had happened to Siberys, Friedlier continued, "Bullis, I would like you to stay here with a few people who know a little about the Phaedon language, and in five days a Phyton ship called the Bear Slayer will arrive, and at that time, I would like you to direct that ship to Garland and tell the Black Swan Saints that they can find a way to join us in the Sigi region of Athor." β
"Where are we going? Sigi? Brullis asked, "If She's okay, will she be there?" β
"I don't know, maybe." "There's a glimmer of hope that she'll be over there." β
"A glimmer of hope?" Brullis immediately said nervously, "God, God willing, she must not have any accidents." β
"You said she had a volcanic eruption?" Oiv whispered to Friedley, "This is a big surprise. I wish she'd be okay, I haven't even seen her yet. She must be so cute. β
Friedlier nodded slightly, then said, "I hope she's okay." β
Bruulis said in dismay, "I hope, I hope... She is the hope of the people of Garland... β
"Hey, she's stronger than you think." Seeing that Bruulis was too lost, Friedlier patted him on the shoulder and said, "She's going to be fine, not to mention that I have a wise man who has been taking care of her." Trust me, she's waiting for me to find her somewhere. β
Bruulis nodded slightly.
"Are you planning to find her next in the Sigi region of Athoor?" Oeve asked.
"Yes." "It's southeast of Snowcrow Island, and the main force of the Phaeton army is now there. β
"Sigi region .... The domain of the king of the north of Athor.... Oeve pondered for a moment and then asked, "Friedrear, do you think it could be the land of seven stars revolving?" β
Friedreel took a deep breath and looked into O'Eve's eyes and said, "O'Eve, I know what you care about, but I'm sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer right now. I think we can only find out if we go to those unknown places and do some exploration. Even if some places aren't the land of the seven stars that revolve, we might be able to find more clues about the Philosopher's Stone, right? β
Oiff nodded lightly and said, "Well, I understand all of this. I just... Just ask. β
"Oive." Friedlier looked at Oive's slightly lonely eyes and said seriously, "As soon as I know where the seven stars revolve, whether it is Siji City, the capital of the Siji region, or the capital of the northern king of Azar, the city of Gurhan Aurora, or the capital of Emperor Azar, Hesa, I will conquer it for you." Trust me, I will help you to the end, all the way to the fulfillment of my promise to you. β
"Your words... It's really impressive. Oeve looked into Friedley's eyes and smiled and nodded slightly.
