152 - Information in Light and Shadow (Part II)

The discussion was in a heated process.

"I don't agree with the idea that if we spread out and look for doors that don't necessarily exist, three whole seas, we can't reach it with human hands alone. What's more, the fish people have been searching for so long, and if the door existed, it should have been discovered a long time ago, not until now. ”

"But the condition that Weir said is not unreasonable, even the captain, I think Weir is right, not all the demons that existed on the three islands have been destroyed before this, and the glowing currents that connect the three islands have not all appeared. So just because a door didn't exist then doesn't mean it doesn't exist now. ”

"The course of the conjecture does not allow the rudder to turn," Hierro shook his head, "and likewise, the conjecture door is not worth looking for. What's more, even if we went up to the three islands separately, we were able to find the door in the prescribed place, and even opened the door at the same time by some means. But which key to which door? Can that key be used only once to open the door? Even which one of the doors is correct, will we be in the same place after entering the door? None of this is known, and what can we do to communicate with each other even from a long distance? All in all, this approach is too risky and unstable for me to agree with. ”

"Captain Hierro, what is represented on this picture and the information we already know, this is already the most reasonable explanation, after all, it has been so long that no one has discovered this sea ship, and if it could be easily found, it would not have been hidden for so long."

"Isn't there anything written in the temple? What's written about locks, seals, or switches? There should always be some. At this time, Weir said to the Elder Fish-Man.

Elder Fishman's eyes rolled twice, "Record? Not really...... But maybe I forgot or didn't care...... Well, wait, everyone, I'll go look in the library first, and I'll be back soon. With that, the Fish-Man Elder walked briskly outside the room with his cane.

Wille watched as Boris and Hierro had been discussing how to use the ship and how to find the 'door' on the sea, and Boris also depicted many doors that had been made by the star spirits before, and even used magic to conjure up a door like a mirage in the center of the map.

A short time later, the Elder Fishman came back from outside the door, followed by a Fishman with a thick book in his hand, "Guys, I think I've found something. ”

As he spoke, he asked the fish-man to place the book in his hand on the table, then turned it over, and opened the folded page in it, and opened it again...... Until the old paper covered half of the table, leaving a corner of the book beneath it.

Everyone stood up and saw that the map that Elder Fishman had brought was a map similar to the one below that had just caused controversy.

"I just thought that picture was familiar...... Sure enough, there was this drawing in the library, but it was ......"

"There's no red mark on it." Boreth saw that on this large map, the islands were more detailed, and although many places were patched, it did not affect the observation of this more detailed map by Weir and his party.

Wiel pulled out the map he had taken from the fog and looked back and forth, "These two maps are really similar, unimaginable, but there seem to be some slight differences. It's not just that red cross...... Look here. ”

"You see, here on Pigman Island, and the Fourth Seal we want to find, it turns out that there are several islands and some landforms...... But this small map is full of water. ”

"After all, so many years have passed, and this picture may have been imitated by the departing star spirits, and after several turnovers, some changes are normal." Hierro thought so.

As he searched back and forth between the two maps, he suddenly noticed a detail, "This mark?" ......" Weir touched the red mark with his finger, "Boris, you see this mark, it seems to be made of different materials...... It seems to be transparent? ”

Wille picked up the little picture, went out into the sunlight, and pointed the red mark at the sunlight, "Really, this red mark lets through the light!" In the sunlight, Veel could clearly see through the red markings to the window frames.

"Look behind you, Wiel." Borris's voice came from behind Will, and because Wer was facing the sun, the sunlight cast a shadow on the ground through the red mark that covered Will's face.

Weir looked back, "Oh? This is? Holding the map up, Wille pointed it at the sunlight and saw a mark on the ground that had been magnified by the sunlight, "Turn it upside down." Boris reminded.

Veel moved, his back towards the sunlight projected in, the seal on the island can also pass through the sunlight, forming spots, through the alignment of the seal position, the map in his hand and the map on the desktop are aligned, so that the sunlight is cast from the front of the map, and the red mark shadow is projected onto the map.

"This ...... This is?! "Everyone in the room looked at the light and shadow on the map, and they all lost their voices for a moment." So that's ......"

I saw that the light and shadow projected out formed a connection in the archipelago, and the red fork-shaped mark was not a regular pattern, but a natural or deliberate arc, and the arc was expanded by the sunlight, and it was only seen in the archipelago of the large map, forming four red connections.

Three of the four lines are connected to the three archipelago by glowing currents, and one appears to be left on a corner of Fish-Man Island.

What is not clearly shown on the minimap, the details of the red mark, are also magnified by the sunlight. In the middle of the projection of the red markers, there is a blank space in the shape of a boat, and on each of the red markers, there is a strangely shaped spot of light.

Hiero took the keys and placed them in the light, only to find that the shapes were not the same.

"Captain Hiero, you might as well keep these keys in the light." The Fish-Man Elder looked at the hollowed-out shapes on each key and proposed to Hierro.

Boris looked at Hierro, who was trying to put the key in the light, "Captain, I'll get it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and the three keys in Hiero's hand flew up with a few points of starlight and came to the map, allowing the sunlight to be projected onto the paper through the hollowed-out imprint, "Sure enough, you are right about the elder." "Sunlight shines through the hollowed-out shapes, and it is those strange shapes that are projected on the paper.

"Okay, now I'll put them in a good position...... This ......" With the alignment of shapes and light and shadow, everyone's eyes once again appeared with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

When I saw that the light and shadow of the three keys corresponded to each other, the three keys themselves formed a strange straight line, and at the last flick of the red fork mark, the mark of a Star Spirit Sacred Tree was reflected...... That mark, right, is the side of Fish-Man Island, the most cutting-edge place.

"Look! It was the mark of the sacred tree, and the star spirit must have hidden something in that place. Vere pointed to the shape that appeared on the map, and as soon as the drawing was misaligned, the mark was gone.

"Lift." Vere pointed the light path again, "Elder, what is this place?" "Fish-Man Island is huge, and this sign is in the far corner. If it weren't marked on the map, no one would have crossed the swamp to get there.

"I remember this place...... But more about it here. Elder Fishman looked at the map, then pointed to the village and a large area near the marker.

"It's the largest swamp on the island, and even we, if we don't have to, don't pass through it...... But looking at this mark, I think you must go...... Hopefully you'll find some clues in this place, but be careful. ”

The people in the room looked at each other and nodded.

"Maybe this is where the 'lock' you spoke of is located." Boris

"Without further ado, who knows what the hell this place will be like." Vere put down the map in his hand and rubbed his shoulder. "It's on this island anyway, so we'll go now."
