The army of skeletons still surrounded us after daybreak, and yesterday had been spent all day in tension, and the most serious problem of the day had arisen, for the food in the turret was only a small part, not enough for a hundred or so men, and everyone was staring at it.

"I'm a nobleman from Demacia, you should give me some!"

"Me too, you civilians get out of the way!" At this time, some people began to report their identities, hoping to deter people.

"I'm from the Demacia Dali family! Give me all back, otherwise I will look good with you! ”

This name obviously shocked the nobles who had just spoken, but their eyes were still firmly fixed on the food, although the words of the Dali family were much more noble than their own, but they could not make them give up their lives, and the glory they had usually accumulated collapsed at this moment.

Witt had five guards by his side, and he had Demacia's refined weapons in his hands, but he obviously wouldn't do anything to everyone, not to mention that there were about twenty fierce crew members here, and he began to woo me:

"Brave Ionian, you have met Mistress Fiona, you must know her fame, now I tell you my identity, I am a member of the Dalí family with the same name as the Laurent family, my father is the great general of Dalí who led the northern legion of Demacia, and my wife is Lux of the crown guard family, help me you will be glorious all your life."

He's Lux's husband! The last time I saw Lax in the Hall of Valor de Macia, she was very bitter because of my death, so I was grateful, but for various reasons I didn't explain it to her, when Fiona called her Lady Dalí, and it seemed that she was married to Witt.

Originally, I wasn't going to help him, but if he died here, I thought it would be even more painful for Lux, and I chose to help him despite people's objections and gave him a lot of things.

The captain saw all this and did not stop me, he knew that if he led the people against me at this time, then everyone would die here.

Witt was so happy that he apparently didn't know it was the light of Lux, and thought I was overwhelmed by his power, and even "rewarded" me with a piece of bread and a jug of wine.

People looked at me with a vicious look in their eyes, as if they had long forgotten that I was the one who saved them, but then again, if I died here, it wasn't saved, and of course I didn't care what these people thought.

"Maybe you'll have to be careful when you go to bed tonight." Poppy reminded me.

"It doesn't matter, if they think they can be rescued by killing me, then let them go, just don't be found by me, or I'll make him one of the outside."

The whole day was spent in a tense atmosphere, and at night I lay on the top of the tower, thinking about how I could get out of here, looking at the bread in my hand, I took a bite, and there was a fishy smell.

And so it went for another three days, and by this time everyone in the turret had been hungry for days, except for Witt, and they had reached their limit, and I thought that my deterrence would not work, and they could snatch the food at any time.

The captain also saw that he didn't want to see the only remaining people have civil strife, it would be too embarrassing, and he came to me: "I have a way to escape, but it's just ......"

"It's hard to see you look, isn't this method going to sacrifice a lot of people?"

"It's not a lot of people, it's probably everyone, I want to detonate the boat! We can't hold this place, we killed ourselves before the skeletons came in, and the explosives here are enough to blow up the ship, so we're all dead anyway, so let's just die with these monsters! ”

"Then what are we going to do, do we die together?"

"Let's jump from the turret into the sea together, I don't know what is going on outside the fog, whether we live or die is left to God."

I don't have much to do, and if this goes on like this, everyone will kill each other, and when we tell the news to the people, everyone is in favor except for Witt, who still has some food in his hand.

Everyone actively piled up the explosives together, and then gathered at the top of the tower, and I carried the torch.

Some of the timid people clung to the fence and didn't let go, but the moment I dropped the torch, everyone jumped without hesitation.

As soon as I fell into the water, the boat exploded, and the strong impact almost knocked me out, hoping that the others were okay, but I felt that it would be difficult for them to survive, but even if they died in this explosion, it was better than dying in cannibalism or fear.

There were no monsters in the water, but the biting waters were unbearable for me, and the latitude here was already very high.

I slowed down a little and hurried upstream, carefully poking my head out of the water, and found that the fog was almost dissipating, and the sun was shining down to warm me, but the surrounding scene made me have no time to pay attention to the warmth I had not seen for a long time.

The sea was a mess in the vicinity, littered with fragments of the ship's bones, but there was not a single trace of the skeletons, as if they had never existed.

I found a fairly large plank to cling to it, and looked around for possible survivors, and soon found the captain in a pile of dead people.

I didn't think he was alive, and a young man as strong as me couldn't stand the shock, let alone an old man, but a cough made me shudder, and I hurried over to take a look.

This old man in a seaman's uniform has a really strong vitality, and he is still alive after this great disaster, so I pulled him to the plank:

"Ahem, ahem...... It almost killed me, but fortunately these people helped me block a lot of impact, otherwise I would have been shocked to death by the strength of this explosive. ”

"Only the two of us survived around here, let's go over there and have a look."

The two of us were clinging to the planks and swimming around, so it was warmer, and soon we found Witt and Bobby, who were big enough to live, but it was good, and I was hoping he survived.

"It's great that you're alive."

"I fished him up." Even in this case, Poppy could see the weight of the weapon in her heart, now that she was holding the hammer tightly.

After a while, Witt couldn't swim anymore, insisting on taking a break and waiting for rescue, after all, this place is not far from the coast, and it is easy to notice such a big movement from the explosion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a few small boats to come, it seemed that they were specially for rescue, this kind of boat could only hold a dozen people, light and fast, but I couldn't find its power, and the crew explained to me that this kind of boat was driven by the magic stone below, which was amazing.

I asked the captain and Witt to go back first, they were already too cold to stand it, and I was going to work with the rescuers to find the other survivors, after all, I was a little sorry to deprive them of food while on the boat.

We found no other living person until the evening, but to my delight I found my spear, firmly attached to a plank, and when night fell and the cold sea breeze made us shiver, we returned to the shore.

It's a small village, and according to the host of our stay, the whole village is fishermen, who make a living from fishing, and have never heard of a sea devil here.

This time, when we heard the explosion, someone who went to sea found us, so they notified everyone to come to the rescue, but we didn't expect that there were only four of us left in the whole ship.

Witt's men were all killed this time, and he was accustomed to being served by others, and he was always dictating to me, and I didn't bother with him or obey him, probably because I found it boring to be self-pleasing, and after a while I would no longer be arrogant.

I asked him why he came to this more primitive place, and he said that he came here to find the legendary "water of immortality" to please Lux, and I just thought it was strange and asked casually, but I didn't expect him to vomit a stomach of bitter water with me next:

It turned out that he had not been happy in the past few years of marriage, he had never seen Lux's smiling face, he had not spoken much, and he had not even slept together.

That day, he occasionally heard Lux and his friends discussing various legends and anecdotes, especially when it came to Ionia's water of immortality, so he planned to go here to find the water of immortality, and go back to get Lux's favor, but he almost died here.

"She must still be thinking about that stinky boy from the Laurent family, who suffers for days every time she comes back from a visit to the Hall of Valor."

Witt seemed to have a big opinion of me, but he didn't know that I was right next to him, and I felt even more guilty when I heard that, because I also sensed that Lux liked me.

"Do you know where the old water is?" I'd like to help Lux find it, if I can.

"I just heard that there is an ice fountain in a place called Presidium, and the water source of the ice fountain has a secret about the water of immortality, and I have to ask the locals about this, but I have given up, this place is too dangerous and I want to go back."

"Is that all you love? It's no wonder that Lux still thinks about others. "I was a little disgusted to see him flinching.

"Of course not! But now it's just me, and, moreover...... How can I love her if I die here, and surviving is the most responsible thing for her! Witt seemed pleased with the reason he had found.

"Maybe I can help you."

"You can help me! What do you want? Witt was excited when he heard that I was going to help him, but then he thought that there was no good thing for no reason, and his tone became a little hesitant.

"I don't want anything, if I find it, I'll find a way to send it to you, of course I'll work harder if you give me some money."

After what had happened, I was now penniless, and I looked at the few gemstone rings on his fingers and wanted to extort him as my travel expenses for Bobby and me.

"I don't have any money for you right now, okay, give you this ring, the gems on it are not a small amount if they are exchanged for gold, I hope you can be trusted."

He despised me, but he was helpless, who would believe that others would do things for you in vain if you didn't pay first? He took off the ring from his little thumb and threw it to me, and then went out to find the local crew.

"You don't look like you for any fame or honor, why did you give him most of your food at the cost of offending everyone in the turret?"

"For a reason that has died."

The captain waited for Witt to leave and asked me, and I had nothing to explain, giving him a puzzling answer.

We talked about what happened yesterday again, and he wondered why he couldn't see any skeletons after blowing up the ship.

The people here think it's a mirage, but obviously it's impossible, how can a mirage kill people? But as there was no trace of it, our words seemed weak, and at last the captain sighed:

"Maybe it's not just the enchanting singing that hallucinates, it's an illusion in itself, and the skeleton soldiers didn't exist in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't be so untraceable."

"But it did happen that a lot of people died on board."

"I think I blew them up, and looking at the corpses on the surface of the sea, it's clear that there are a lot of them."

I don't respond to this topic anymore, I still have a lot to do now, and there is no way to trace the things that I don't have a clue about, so I can only pay attention to them slowly in the future, as long as I keep this kind of impressive thing in my heart, I don't know when it will be related.

Poppy didn't seem to care about it at all, she had been wiping down her warhammer, and it was clear that it was very important to her.

"Is this the warhammer you're going to give to the big hero?"

"Yes, I call it Oren's Hammer because it was given to me by my good friend Oron, who is a demon slayer who has always eradicated dark magic for people, and is called a great hero by the locals, although he doesn't care about the name."

"Then why did he give the hammer to someone else?"

"He's long gone, we met more than three hundred years ago, it's a long story, we should go, I'll tell you on the way."

The captain had lost the giant passenger ship his father had left him, and when he was old, he was ready to stay in this seaside village for the rest of his life, and Witt said that he would go back to Demacia in search of the most famous passenger ship in the area, and he would never want to go through that again.

So, we came and went.
