The waves crashed against the reef of Watch Island, and Sibriss saw that some of the reefs that would have been exposed at low tide every day had not been resurfaced for three days.

At this moment, Siberis, she is following Nohibi, shuttling through the dense forests of Watch Island. Noshibi, on the other hand, sniffed in the ground of the dense forest with decaying foliage, searching for anything to eat.

Sibriss knew that Nohibi had a great appetite, and that the leftovers that people gave him on weekdays could not satisfy him. Luckily, there are some small wildlife on the island for Nohibi to catch. It's been a long time since the supply ships of Frosttrail Island have arrived, and at a time when the island's meat is becoming precious, and even staple foods are a little stretched, Nohibi's food needs to be found even more on its own. And at this time, all Sibriss can do is follow Nohibi's trail and wander around the island aimlessly with it.

After catching a strange-looking lizard, Nohibi quickly bites and eats it. Before she could swallow her food completely, Celess saw that Nohibi looked up into the distance as if she had noticed, and then plunged headlong into a bush. Seeing this, Siberis was afraid that Noshibi would run away, so she shouted to it a few times. But Nosbi, who had always listened to Sibelis's greeting, did not return from the bushes this time, so Siberys had no choice but to lean over into the bushes and go to find it.

As she pushed back the layers of bushes, Siberys gradually heard Nohibi's cry. Following Nosbi's cries, Sibriss found that she had come to the other side of the island after emerging from the large bush, and Nohibi was now standing on a cliff near the sea howling. As Sibriss approached, Nohibi looked back at her. It barked at her a few times, spun around in circles, and howled again into the sea below the cliff. Sibriss felt as if Noshibi was gesturing to her, motioning for her to look down the cliff as well.

Sibriss knelt down on the edge of the cliff, and she cautiously poked her head out of the rock wall and looked down the steep cliff. She saw the deep blue water below the cliff mixed with white scales and glittering waves surging and slapping violently against the cliff face. With Nohibi's vigilant cry, Sibriss took a closer look into the waves, but saw that the scales in the waves were shining, and they were countless dead small fish!

As Siberis moved her gaze to the distant sea in surprise, she saw several large and strange dead fish corpses floating on it, now floating with the rising and falling waves.

Xi Baili looked at it for a while, and suddenly, she saw that on the surface of the sea not far away, a big fish with a white belly suddenly appeared, and the big fish had its belly facing the sky, motionless, and dead.

Continuing to look at the sea, Sibeliss saw that strange fish were rising on the surface of the sea.

As time went on, Sibriel saw more and more dead fish of all sizes coming to the surface, turning the sea into a huge fish graveyard.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Xi Baili couldn't help but feel a little creepy. After looking at it for a while, she greeted Nohibi, who was barking, and quickly left the place. She ran to the other side of the island where the camp was located, and found Mikicharan and told her what she had just seen.

Before Miki Charan could understand the sight of Siberys, a huge dead fish suddenly floated on the surface of the sea on this side of the island.

Just as Mikicharan looked at the dead fish floating on the surface of the sea in amazement, she also saw that four points of starlight appeared faintly on the somewhat dim southern sea.

It was the glow of the glow in front of the four Frosttrail ships, which had returned from Garland.

Sibris, with Nohibi, who was barking at the dead fish in the sea, walked out of the camp with Mikicharan sage, and they went to the shore where the water was rising and waited for the four returning ships to approach.

"He's finally back.." Si Baili said excitedly as she looked at the Starlight that was getting closer.

"May the goddess of the sea bless." Mikicharan mistine muttered silently as she looked at the approaching ships and the dead fish that kept emerging.

"Nusage, what's the matter with these dead fish? It's not just over there, it's happening here..."Sibris, who had been looking at the returning ship and was attracted by the dead fish that kept emerging from the sea, asked Mikicharan in confusion.

Mikicharan shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know, Siberys. The sight of the place unsettled me and gave me a sense of foreboding. ”

"A sense of foreboding?" Sibriel asked Mikki Charan, "What is your hunch, Sage?" ”

"Hunches are not stories, Siberys, and I have a hard time telling you." Mikicharan said.

"So, sage, I would like to ask, in Phetton, is there a story about the flooding of the sea?" Siberis stood beside Mikicharan and asked her suddenly.

"Flooding of the sea...."

"Yes, is this a sea flood?" Siburis asked, "Is there a story about it?" ”

"The creatures of the sea have been tragically destroyed, may the ancestors guide them." Miki Charan looked out to sea and muttered that she hadn't answered Sibris's question. Instead, she asked Sibelis, "Are there any legends and stories about the flood in your Garland?" ”

"There's one, Virtuous." Siberis thought for a moment and said.

Micky Charan looked at Siberis curiously, "Really?" Tell me, Sibelis, what kind of story it is. ”

"Hmm.... The story goes that the gods created everything in the world and also created man. The man he created by the gods was very good, but then he gradually became evil, and the gods began to regret what he had created them. Looking at the wicked people, the gods want to destroy them and their own creation. Eventually, the gods decided to let the waters flood all the land. Sibriss said.

"Has everything on land been flooded?" Mikicharan asked, "Isn't that a no-brainer?" ”

"No, there is an honest, pious man who has received the favor of the gods. Before the flood came, the gods told him that he should go and build a ship, and that he could use the boat he built to escape the water, and that he would survive. ”

"He escaped the flood by building a boat?"

"Nor because of the boat, because he was not able to finish his ship until the great flood came." Cyblices said.

"Why?" Mikicharan asked curiously, "And how did he survive?" ”

"Because... Because he wanted to build a ship that could hold all the animals. In that case, the ship would be built very, very large, but he would not abandon any kind of animal, so he made the ship small. Therefore, until the flood came, he did not finish the ship. He was eventually rescued because his actions touched the gods, who gave him a pair of gills. ”

"A pair of gills? The story is interesting. "So, in that great flood, except for the fact that he was rescued because he had gills, everything was destroyed by the great flood of the gods, right?" ”

Sibelis nodded.

Miki Charan thought for a moment and said, "Since none of the other people in your Garan story, or any other animals, have been spared from the water, then why do you Garans still exist?" Are you all descendants of the man who had the gills? Don't you find this story contradictory? ”

"It's not a contradiction, Sage." "Because the story doesn't tell when it's a story, or what world it's about." ”

"What do you mean..?" Mikicharan looked at Si Bailis's pure blue eyes in astonishment and asked, "The story you are talking about doesn't have to happen before?" And possibly .... Could it happen later? It doesn't have to be in this world, it can happen in... Other worlds? ”

"Yes, Sage. That's what it means. Just like in the Facton mythology you told me earlier, the gods, elves, dwarves, and giants all inhabit their own worlds. "Maybe my story is a story that takes place in a world where other humans live. ”

Miki Charan took a deep breath and looked back at the little girl from Garland with a look she had never seen before. After a few moments, Mikicharan slowly asked her, "Sibris, do you believe in the existence of gods?" ”

Siberis nodded, then shook her head again, "I haven't seen a god. But maybe he existed. ”

Miki Charan was stunned for a moment, and then she slowly asked Si Bai Lisi, "Xi Bai Lisi, I never asked about your background before. Maybe it's because you didn't speak Featon fluently before, but now it's much better, and now, can you tell me a little bit about your parents or your background? ”

Sibriss looked at Mikicharan and hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "I'm sorry, Lady. I don't know where I came from, I don't remember who my parents were, and I don't remember any family members. When I was very young, I was raised by the maids of the Garland Palace, who taught me everything and taught me how to read. It wasn't until last summer that I first saw the outside world of Yongdao. And then that's what Tharuta did, who saved me from the enemy. ”

Miki Charan nodded thoughtfully. "And who told you the story you just told? Is it the palace maid who taught you how to read? Mikicharan asked instead.

"No, they just taught me how to read, they didn't tell me stories. They always told me about court etiquette and rules. "When I was there, I had a good friend who was a little older than me, and she always took me to play while the king slept. Once, she took me to a basement connected to the palace, which was filled with thick books. I opened one and found it full of interesting stories. Since then, I've loved it and go there a lot. It's really fun because there are tons of books, there are a lot of weird drawings and a lot of funny gadgets. ”

"You've read a lot of books?"

"Not much, sage, there are so many books there. I've only read a small part of them, about a hundred or so. Sibriss said.

"More than a hundred? Oh my God, that's a lot. Mikicharan asked Si Bellis with an incredulous expression on his face, "But there are so many books, can you read them?" There must have been some great mentor who pointed you out, right? ”

"Great Mentor? Female sage, I don't know what you mean by the Great Gurus. But at that time, whenever I went to the basement to read, I always saw an elderly monk there. He doesn't like to talk, and he often lights a few fish oil lamps to light my reading when the zenith light is dim. Sometimes, I would talk to him, but it would be brief. "If you say that anyone has instructed me, I think it is the old monk." ”

Mikicharan looked at Sibriss in disbelief, then fell silent as she looked up at the canopy of stars, where a bright star shimmered a dark red.

The silhouettes of the four warships gradually became clear, and Sibriss saw that the other three warships, with the exception of the Starlight, had anchored in the sea far from the Overwatch Island, and they did not seem to plan to approach the shore of the Overwatch Island any longer.

The Starlight continued on its way, slowly approaching Watch Island and reeling its sails in the shallow waters.

With the Starlight anchored, Siberis excitedly stepped into the waves. She smiled as she watched as the Starlight put away its oars and lowered its anchor.

The sea swelled, and a wave came, soaking her dress wet. Still, she stared at the Starlight unmoved, for Sibelis, she was looking forward to the moment when Friedrie jumped off the ship and smiled at her.

The Starlight was the first to jump down a few warriors, carrying supply crates and some necessities through the tide of dead fish. Followed by Evenson, who saw Siburis at first sight after disembarking, walked straight to her. Standing in the middle of the waves, Sibriss didn't notice the gloom on Evenson's face, her eyes were still full of excitement and anticipation.

Sinorby uncharacteristically didn't bark at Evenson, lying far away on the land where the waves couldn't reach it, staring at Siburis's back.

"Are you waiting for him to get off the boat?" Evenson walked up to Cyboris and said as she looked at the Starlight.

Siburys didn't expect Evenson, who had always disliked her, to take the initiative to speak to her, she looked back at Evenson, and nodded lightly at her, after which Siberis moved her gaze back to the side of the Starlight.

"He can't come for a while." Evenson said as he looked at Silberis with a blank face.

Cyblis's heart tightened when she heard Evenson's words. At this moment, her heart was like a knife, but on her face, Xi Baili did not show any reaction, she bit her lip lightly, and did not speak.

Sibeliss was still silently looking at the side of the Starlight. But at this moment, she felt as if her tears were about to pour out.

"Thank you for telling him that there is a city full of treasures after the Emerald City." Evenson looked at Ciperys and said, "This news has allowed us all to go home with a full load. But, Witch, it was because of your news and these treasures that Tharu stayed there. ”

With Evenson's words, Xi Bailisi could no longer restrain her feelings, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She let the waves knock her unsteady on her feet, soaking wet.

"These are the two things he wants me to pass on to you." Evenson held up a hand and said, "But I don't think it's time for you to give you that true eye yet, so I'll give you this ring of his first." ”

Cybeliss didn't look at Evenson, let alone the ring in Evenson's hand, she still looked at the side of the Starlight with tears in her eyes, but tears blurred her eyes, and she could only see the faint white light of the glowstone on the Starlight.

Mikicharan sage watched everything from a distance, and she guessed what was happening. She walked briskly into the waves, and after taking what Evenson had brought for Cybelis, she pulled her back to shore.
