Wright: "Father-in-law Changye! Since Dragon's Nest Island has always been shrouded in a storm ring, has the inland sea been calm and has not had any disasters? ”

Changye Gong: "Disaster... Do you mean a tsunami? ”

"Anything is possible, like an undersea volcano erupting, or an earthquake or something."

Ioros: "Huh!?" Is there a volcano under the sea as well? ”

Ioros, who is still a child, is not interested in the complicated conversations of adults, but is only interested in the legendary open sea.

Wright realizes that this agile little imp doesn't usually like to talk much, but as long as he pulls on some unknown terms on Dragon's Lair Island, he is completely energetic...

However, now is not the time to explain this.

Wright frowned, waiting for Changye Gong's answer.

"As far as I know, there are no volcanoes on the island, but if you talk about shipwrecks... Every once in a while, the island gets a high tide, when most of the Bund is flooded, and we are used to calling it the Wind Rest. ”

"That's right! That's right! That's it, Father-in-law Changye, do you know when the next Wind Day will come? ”

"No one knows the exact date." Changye Gong shook his head, "According to the custom, the Wind Rest Day will come almost once a year at the turn of summer and autumn, and if you count the days, it should be the closest." What, what's the problem? ”

“… Father-in-law, when the tide comes every year, where will you take refuge? ”

"The tide comes and goes quickly, it only lasts for two or three days at most, and this house and my workshop are considered high, and they will not be flooded by the sea."

After getting Changye Gong's answer, Wright sighed in his heart.

Although he has no basis, combined with the strange attitude of the previous high priest Orleans towards them, this strategy of killing people by the hand of the tsunami is undoubtedly the most reasonable explanation.

And after Wright explained his guess to Changye Gong, the old man also came to a similar conclusion.

"With that bastard's character, maybe that's what he really intended!" Changye Gong gritted his teeth hatefully and continued: "But the old man doesn't understand, how could he, a good-for-nothing cult leader, know that the scale of this year's Tsunami will be greater than usual? ”

"It's a mystery, but now is not the time to dwell on it." Wright hurriedly picked up Changye Gong and said, "I think we should go back to the city immediately now, if I'm not mistaken, the area around the altar should be the most dangerous place on Dragon's Nest Island, right?" ”

"That's right, but... Hey, okay, let's pack up and do it now! ”

Nagaba Gong is not a stubborn person, although he is very disdainful of Orleans' actions to establish the Aeolus Cult to bewitch the inhabitants of the island, but this matter is at stake, and he will not take Aoros to his own death.

However, although they saw the key and immediately set off for the city, they were still one step behind Orleans, who had already prepared!

The faith that the Aeolus Cult had accumulated over the years played a role at this time.

Just half an hour earlier, High Priest Orleans had received an oracle that a great storm would sweep across the entire island of Dragon's Lair, and that the Anemo God's followers needed not be alarmed.

Because this calamity was originally a test for them by the gods, as long as those who have a firm faith and repentance can enter the altar for refuge, and those who blaspheme will be carried away by this storm and restore the peace of the world!

As soon as the news was issued, all four main passages in and out of the village's settlements were blocked, and all heretics who did not follow the Aeolus cult were forbidden to enter.

And at this moment, the villagers who were originally in a neutral and swinging position also had to succumb in the face of life and death and devote themselves to the name of the Fengshen Sect, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that only Changye Gong and the other three people were isolated from the world on the entire island!

And such a resolute approach also put Wright and them in a dilemma.

Whether in public or private, it is impossible for Wright himself to join this cult of Rausch and be trapped on this small island, and Changye Gong and Ioros are full of disgust with Orleans' methods in their hearts, and there is no room for compromise.

As a result, there are only two left in front of everyone.

… Or, turn around and find another way to fight the coming tsunami.

This kind of action is almost indistinguishable from death.

Not to mention that this dragon's nest island, which is seriously deviated from technological development and backward to the pristine nature, even the capital of the seven waters, which is famous in the great shipping route, has nothing to do about this anger of nature.

Wright felt that apart from those monsters living in the new world, there might not be any other forces in this world to fight against this catastrophe.

… Or, take the initiative to fight back, shake the Aeolian cultists head-on, and crush their so-called faith.

This path is almost impossible to succeed in.

If the other main forces of the Boys' Army were also here, it would be better to say that Wright, a technician who had been an oceanographer, plus the old and young of Changye Gong and Ioros, would have died early at the hands of these cultists who had been misled by fear and lies and had lost their normal judgment before they saw Orleans himself.

And even if they can really rush all the way to the high ground and avoid this tsunami, as the party that takes the initiative to provoke the struggle, the prestige of Changye Gong may no longer work, and Orleans, who has the support of the people, has a way to deal with them.

In a sense, human beings are really ungrateful and forgetful animals.

As long as you are hurt, then all righteous and unjust countermeasures will begin to be implemented... Most people are too frightened to explain the implications of these actions to them.

In the end, they will definitely be spurned, hunted down, and pointed out by thousands of people...

but

It's at least better than just dying, isn't it?

"Father-in-law Changye, no matter what you plan, I won't give up just yet."

Wright pursed her lips and silently tied her sleeves and trouser legs.

"My family has experienced more than once something more terrible than religion and tsunamis, so I will do my best to continue to live."

"I definitely want to go back!"

…

The weak navigator spoke with perseverance, and his stubborn eyes were like taking Changye Gong through the tunnel of time... Vaguely, he seemed to see the sea that once was, and the man who stood on the shore thirty years ago.

He wore a worn-out beret and spent his days in the heaps of ore collected from everywhere, his eyes clear and determined, just like Wright today.

- "I will never die, I will go back alive!" ”

The familiar voice sounded in Changye Gong's mind again, and the figure that had been washed away and blurred by the long river of time became vivid and visible on Wright's body at this moment!
