114 - A Ship and a ......
"Boy! I'll show you my secret weapon! Hierro looked proud, raised his hand to let the "orangutan" beside him leave, and after a while, he pushed something out of a nearby house.
"You still have this kind of thing?!"
"Of course!" Hierro grinned, "How? There you have it! We have the capital to fight that monster! ”
"You're right!" Ver looked at what was in front of him in astonishment, then thought for a moment, and said, "But it's the only ...... Still won't work. ”
"When~ran" Hierro turned and looked at Vere, "the rest, you need to do the ......." ”
——
When Ver came to Pease, who was crouching in front of the flowerbed, the old monkey stretched slightly, and turned and walked towards Hierro's house.
"Pease?"
Pease didn't answer, he stared quietly at a small dirt bag in front of him with a new conch on it.
"Will it be lonely, Wiel?"
Wiel touched Pease's head, "No, child, look at the flowers that spread here, and the conch you left for it, it could be watched quietly all day." ”
"I'll never see it again...... I will never see it again, Wiel, I know. ”
“…… Close your eyes, Pease. Vere placed the key in Pease's hand, "If you believe it, you can see it......." Wiel took Pease's hand, and the two of them sat quietly in front of the flower garden.
"Thank you, Wiel." Pease's hand clenched the key in his palm firmly.
"Wiel...... Will you leave me? ”
Instead of speaking, Ver put his arm around Pease's shoulder a little harder.
"That'...... Can I call you brother? ”
"Absolutely...... ...... if you will. ”
"Thank you...... Brother Weel. With a smile on his face, Pease leaned on Will's arm and fell asleep.
The monkey beetle emerged from the treetops on one side, eating a fruit. He saw Pease and Ver on the ground sitting there talking.
Monkey A looked at the two people below, and suddenly a big monkey was touching the head of a small monkey, the little monkey was very much like himself, and the fruit in his hand suddenly became tasteless. He sighed and looked back again.
Turned around and disappeared into the woods.
——
"Elder, this is here?"
"Ah, the ruins of the Star Spirit...... Ah, I'm used to it, this was once the temple of the Star Spirits. Now, it is also a place that our fish-people have guarded for generations. ”
Boris followed behind the Elder Fish-Man, quietly observing his surroundings.
"It looks very good here."
"The Fish-People regard this place as a sacred place and have repaired and maintained it for generations, but after all, the Fish-People's methods are too primitive, and many of the subtle objects have been damaged." As he spoke, Elder Fishman pushed open a wooden door, and it could be seen that this wooden door was very new. "No, this is what I have done in the past two days." Elder Fishman knocked on the door.
Boris walked in, and the wooden door closed automatically behind Boris, "Elder, you said that this was the temple of the Star Spirit before, so why didn't I feel the power of the sacred tree?" ”
"Isn't that obvious, High Priest?" The Fishman Elder shook his head and continued to walk inside.
"Did it really disappear?" Boris sighed, "Elder, where are we going?" ”
"Although a lot of things are broken, the fish-man has a very good ability to preserve books, and we have preserved the classics of the star spirits very well. Perhaps the high priest could find something useful in it. ”
"There are still books here?" Boris's eyes grew as he scanned the runes on the walls around him.
Nodding, the Fish-Man Elder continued to walk inside. "That's right, the best-preserved thing here is the library in the Star Spirit Temple."
"I didn't expect to see ancient spell legends here......" Boris held two pages in his hand, and the words of the star spirits on them were beautiful and varied. It's really an old text. ”
"The archipelago is different from the mainland, and it is always difficult to transport back and forth, especially since the archipelago is still in the middle of a sea of big waves." The old fish-man was a little tired and sat down on the chairs beside him, which were stone chairs with intricately carved stones.
"Therefore, the inhabitants of the islands always have more ways to preserve things than inland, and among them, we fish people are the most." The old fishman said proudly.
"Is there a history book here for the Star Spirits?" Boreth asked what he was here for.
"Let me think about it...... Well, there it is. It's all historical. Elder Fishman scratched his head, "There's also there, there's some records and magic about healing, and there's something we can't get it with, but the High Priest should be able to do it." ”
Originally intending to find traces of the Star Spirit from the historical texts, Boreth paused and walked towards the texts on healing and magic.
"Elder, do you know how the Star Spirits traveled to and from this island before the Star Spirits disappeared from here?"
"Hmm~ That was a long time ago...... I just know a little bit, you wait...... I remember coming here. "Elder Fishman walked to the bottom of a bookshelf, and found a book in the grid on one side, the book cover was shiny, and only on the right side of the book was another finger mark with obvious color difference, it was obvious that the book was often read by people, the fish-people." Well...... Here, at the beginning, when the demons were not sealed here, these islands were just islands in the distant sea on the side of the Star Spirit Continent......" The old fishman turned a few more pages, "Geology, naturalism...... Hmm~"
At the same time, Bo Ruisi, while paying attention to the old fishman's speech, flipped through the books. Not with his hands, but with his magic to attract the well-preserved runes on the book, so that several books hovered beside him, Bo Ruisi's eyes were like light, and the pages were turning rapidly.
"Later the priests of the star spirits...... Dinah Sarlist...... In order to calm the darkness in the sea and allow more star spirits to go to the unknown sea, she sealed the demons of the three seas, and she herself has been guarding here. The old fish-man nodded, "There is still a statue of her in the hall of the temple, and this is a story that every fish-man will know...... We fish-people have wisdom, and it's all thanks to High Priest Dinah. ”
The old fishman's tone paused, "But where is the demon so easy to be sealed, the power of the demon has attracted huge waves and storms, some people say that the huge vortex is caused by the power of the demon." In order to keep the seal here from being easily broken by demons, High Priest Dinah has set up precautionary measures throughout the archipelago in addition to the seal of the sacred tree. Among them are glowing currents, so that demons cannot easily travel to other islands through the currents to break the seal. "Speaking of which, the old fishman still wanted to turn the page down, but found that it was already the end." There should be some in the back of this, but I don't know when it was lost...... After all, far too long has passed. The old fishman put the book down.
Dinah Sarlist...... I knew her, but what happened? Where did she go? "Boreth has already rummaged through half of the books, but his brow has not been relaxed." Did you disappear with the Spirits? ”
"I don't know, but I heard that a man came from somewhere else to look for her, and soon after, the spirits prepared their ships and passed through the maelstrom, and Dinah disappeared. Some say she traveled with the fleet to the new home of the Star Spirit, while others say she never left the place. But what the truth is, it is impossible to verify now. ”
"Who is that person? Is there any document? ”
The old fish-man lowered his head and pondered for a while, "There is no record, at least I haven't seen it yet." Well...... But I've heard an older fish-man say it...... It seems to be this pronunciation...... Think about it. Vie, Vale...... Yes, that's the name. ”
"Will? …… Has he been here? Why? "Bo Race was a little surprised, but at that time, she was running between the seals, and she didn't have time to care." By the way, Elder, you just said that the Star Spirits are passing through the maelstrom by boat? Is there anything going on? ”
"Of course not...... The boat they were on was not an ordinary boat......" the old fish-man's voice sounded a little excited, "it was different...... It's a pity ......"
"What is it?"
“…… It's nothing...... It's just hard to see......" Elder Fishman sat back in his chair. "But that ship can go through the whirlpool and go to other seas."
"Sounds ...... What is very different about that ship? "Boris had gone through all the books, using magic to put them back in their original places, frowning slightly, and didn't look like she had found what she was looking for." What kind of ship can pass through the whirlpool, you say, Elder? And, if the Astrals can build these ships, why don't they take you out too? I don't think the Star Spirit would do that. ”
Elder Fishman said, "No, in this matter, we volunteered. ”
"You volunteered to stay?"
It nodded. "That's all I know...... The archipelago spirits decided to go out and find the outside world they hadn't been in touch with for a long time...... They left a boat for us......"
