Thousands of miles away, on a small garden island in the middle of the Xialu Sea Ridge.

The purple-haired woman waving her black wings fell from the sky and landed in the garden full of fireflies.

The feathers fell silently.

As she landed, the two black wings that stretched out from her shoulders reverted to slender hands, and the feathered claws returned to naked, small jade feet. Her dark eyes flickered slightly, and the woman tied up her purple hair, which had been blown by the night wind, and walked towards the castle in the middle of the garden.

But still close to the castle, just around the corner of the garden promenade, the woman was stopped.

"Siman, the master is now entertaining, and no one is allowed to enter the castle. If there's anything, you can tell me first. The person who spoke was a woman in a graceful black dress, wearing a lace crown inlaid with pearls, and her facial features were beautiful, but she was covered with dense scars.

The purple-haired woman Si Man half-knelt on the ground, kissed the back of the woman's foot in front of her, and then said respectfully: "Mrs. Pei, just now my wizard's eye felt an abnormal energy fluctuation in the Dead Ring Zone, I went over to take a look and found traces of battle. ”

"Oh, somebody's fighting in the Dead Ring?"

"According to the traces left at the scene, it should be an apprentice from the Department of Illusion fighting another team. However, soon after the battle ended, several corpses were found in the sea by the Death Jellyfish, presumably wandering apprentices of the Rat-Ant Underground Society. ”

Mrs. Pei raised her eyebrows: "The Rat Ant Underground Society, this kind of indiscriminate organization is not good to stay in the rat hole, and actually ran to the Devil's Sea?

Silk Man shook his head: "It shouldn't be, in the current world of the mysterious space, except for us, only the group of people in the Song of the Deep Sea have received the news." As long as we don't spread the word on both sides, with the information of the Rats and Ants Underground Society, it is impossible to know the situation here. ”

Mrs. Pei also nodded: "That's true, then they are simply surrounding that illusion apprentice?

"According to the tip that the Jellyfish of Death saw, that illusion apprentice should be the keeper of the Conch. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei nodded slightly: "Then he should have nothing to do with the mysterious space, the list of ships reported by Sky Machinery City last year, the Yunluo will indeed be here this month." Leave them alone, let them pass. ”

At this point, Mrs. Pei was ready to turn and leave.

Silk Man hesitated, and it took a long time before he said, "The Yunluo is now trapped in the Sea of Ghosts, do we need to send someone to rescue it?"

"Sea of Ghosts?" Mrs. Pei paused, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "It seems that the hurricane just now not only ushered in a guest from the Storm Canyon for the owner, but also blew a small ship into that disgusting sea. ”

Mrs. Pei shook her head: "Don't worry, we are not the group of virgins in the orphanage, and their lives have nothing to do with us." We have only signed an agreement with Sky Mechanical City not to disturb each other, and we are not obligated to save a group of lowly mortals. ”

After saying that, Mrs. Pei stepped on high heels like pinpoint nails and turned to leave.

Silk Man looked back in the direction of the Sea of Ghosts, a sea full of undead, but a place that even its master hated. I don't know if she will be able to survive this time?

......

"Can't set sail?" Ingres looked suspicious.

Helen explained in a low voice, "It's easier to repair elsewhere, but two masts are broken, and it's not something that can be repaired in one go. The main mast, in particular, must be refined and reshaped, otherwise there will definitely be problems in the event of another hurricane. ”

Ingres looked at the Conch, which had been dragged back into the sea, anchored and floating.

The two broken masts were being lifted by the sailors, and they were joined by iron sheets, and the tinkling sound matched the sound of the surging tide of the sea, and there was a sense of high and low.

"Isn't it useful to make such repairs?" said Ingres, pointing to the mast that had been pryed and repaired by the shipwright.

"If it's in the ordinary sea, it's just a good thing, you can use it. But if it's in the Devil's Sea, God knows what kind of ghost weather will be in the next moment. In the event of a violent air current, or a collision of ocean currents, this kind of repair is basically useless. Helen's expression sank slightly as she said this: "Now Captain Alwyn and I can only hide from the others for the time being, otherwise it will undermine their confidence." ”

"Is there anything you can do now?"

Helen hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head: "No." ”

"The only way now is to pray that the weather will not be too bad in the future, and if there is a hurricane like the one just now, the Yunluo will really have to be scrapped. It was Alwyn who had stepped down from the Conch, and his expression was a little serious.

"Don't meet a hurricane? It's impossible in the Devil's Sea. Helen sighed, and for a moment both Helen and Alwyn fell silent.

Ingres looked closely at the broken mast, touched his chin, and fell into thought.

After a period of silence, Helen hesitated and said: "Actually, it's not impossible, we can go to Xialu Hailing for help, there is the territory of Xialu Witch, I once saw a living town there, there should be a place for repairing ships, right?"

Alwyn shook his head: "Forget it, if we enter the Xialu Sea Ridge and are not attacked, it is fine, and we still want to ask for assistance, how is this possible?"

Helen opened her mouth, and a figure came to mind. She once rescued a witch in the Blackberry Sea, and according to her, her name was Silk Man from the Xialu Ridge, so that if Helen had a problem that could not be solved, she could go to the Xialu Ridge to find her.

If they could meet her, maybe they would still be saved...... It's just that this was nearly twenty years ago, and she herself is not sure, whether the other party still remembers her, and she can't even verify whether the other party is from Xia Lu Hailing.

So, she was a little hesitant to say it.

When Helen hesitated, Angel suddenly said at this time: "Or, I'll fix it." ”

Helen and Alwyn instantly raised their heads and looked at Angel with a look of surprise.

I saw Angel smile lazily, with a slightly embarrassed tone: "Although I have never repaired a ship, it is not difficult to restore the mast to the condition when it was not broken. ”

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Angel flew onto the Conch.

The fracture was reshaped directly by hot melting, and some harder magic materials were added, and in just a few breaths, the mast regained its metallic brilliance.

Angels patted the dust on his hands and fell, "You send the shipwright to check it and see if it can be done now?"

Helen and Alwyn glanced at each other and immediately nodded, "We don't need a shipwright, we can test it ourselves." ”

After a while, Alwyn had a happy expression on his face, and according to his tests, the mast had no cracked lines, and the whole thing was as if it were one, and it was stronger than before. Alwin said in his heart, not to mention resisting the hurricane, even if there are tens of meters of huge waves crashing down, it is estimated that the mast will not have any problem of breaking!

Helen naturally came to this conclusion, but when she learned the answer, her eyes were complicated.

All her previous worries turned out to be solved in just a few minutes in the eyes of others, and it seemed that it was effortless at all. Just as they had worried about the vines on the island and the raging undead, all kinds of difficulties seemed to be not difficulties at all in front of Lord Pat.

In the past, Helen thought that the transcendent were a group of proud peacocks standing tall in the sky, but now she saw more about the shining of the transcendent from Master Pat.

- Strong, erudite, generous and benevolent.

For the first time, Helen longed for the world of the transcendent.

Seeing that Master Pat had already begun to discuss the next leg of the voyage with Alvin, Helen turned her head to look in the direction of the Charlotte Ridge, and her mind flashed back to the scene of the encounter with the Silk Vine more than twenty years ago.

"It seems that the next time I come to Xia Lu Hailing, I will go to find the Silk Man Witch......" After the memory came and went, Helen finally clenched her fist and turned her head to look at the direction where Angel was: "Maybe, I also have the opportunity to enter the world where you exist." ”

......

The mast was repaired, the wounded were rearranged into the cabin, and at the order of Alvin, the Yunluo, which had been stranded all night, re-anchored and set sail.

It's nine o'clock in the morning, but the sea of ghosts is still pitch black.

Not only was the sea dark, but the clouds above his head showed no sign of dissipating, and the black pressure seemed to be covered with layers of pitch-black scales in the sky, making Ingres feel like he had returned to the days of the Black Castle in a trance. When you're at Castle Black, it's always dark.

Based on previous discussions between Ingres and Captain Alvin, they decided to return from the Ghost Sea and re-enter the Winter Passage after returning to the Dead Loop.

Although it seems that the Ghost Sea is calm at the moment, after all, this is a recognized terrifying sea, and who knows what else will happen, it is better to return to the sea and re-select the journey.

But on the way back, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm sea in front of me.

The sailors on the lookout were the first to notice the situation and immediately reported it to the captain's room. Alwyn also gave a decisive order and immediately turned around.

The whirlpools at sea are a deadly danger to ships, even more terrifying than huge waves. Once you are swept up, it is almost impossible to escape.

"The whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, and the steering is easy to be affected, so you have to turn the bow 180 degrees. After Arwyn made this decision, the Yunluo, which had not been sailing for a long time, returned to the vicinity of the previous island.

They had chosen a new course, intending to get around the whirlpool, but this time they had not been long before an island appeared before them.

Originally, the Yunluo had no intention of anchoring, but when Angel felt the abundant dark and chaotic energy on the island, his eyes suddenly lit up.
