101 - Better

"Ollie, how's it going?" Boreth stood anxiously at the door of a dilapidated house.

"There shouldn't be any life-threatening now, but that poisonous snake is very venomous...... Fear. The Elder Fishman came out of the door, followed by the shark-looking fish-man, and gently closed the creaky door with a movement that did not match his size.

Seeing the fishman in the door who had fed Ollie the drug at the beginning by its bedside, Bo Ruisi heard the first half of the sentence and knew that Ollie's life was not in danger, so he let go of his heart and said, "That's great...... Then, after listening to the second half of the sentence, Bo Ruisi's heart rose again, "I'm afraid of what?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to fall asleep for a long time." The Fish-Man Elder walked past Boreth and towards the swampy floor below the steps.

"What then? Elder, you must have a way...... I have to save Ollie. Bo Ruisi leaned against the railing beside him and said to the elder's back.

The Fishman Elder stood in front of him, turned back to the shark behind him, and said, "There are two fish in the reed basket next to you, open the lid on it and take it out." ”

Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to a primordial fire not far away where many fishmen were busy, "High priest, let's go there and talk while eating." ”

Boris followed, and the shark-man looked, and at the corner of the house and the fence, Boris saw several baskets, opened the lids, and took out a few fish from them.

"I would like to thank you again, High Priest Boreth, I didn't expect you to stand up again when the Star Spirit Continent was in danger." Elder Fishman saluted Boris with a drink of unknown importance.

"Salute to the High Priest!" The shark man next to him had a lot of wounds on his face, but he didn't care, and with his strong ability to heal himself, it was already a little scabbed.

The fish-men raised their cups in their hands and saluted Boresi.

Looking at the gratitude of the fishmen around him, although Boris couldn't understand, he also returned a glass of water to the fishmen.

The village around them was in tatters, and the fish people were scarred, and at a glance it was clear that this had just ended a battle. "Sealing the demon is the responsibility of the priest of the holy tree, not to mention, guarding the seal should be the duty of our star spirits."

Elder Fishman shook his head, "High Priest, demons are the same to all living beings on the Star Spirit Continent, and we are all obliged to fight against them, not to mention, these demons have also invaded the homeland of the Fishmen and harmed my people. The High Priest sealed the demons, and there were no casualties among the fishmen, helping us retake the village, and you are our forever friend. ”

Boris looked at the scars on the fishmen around him, "It's still the heroic struggle of the fishmen, otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to seal that guy." ”

"The lads don't know much about anything else, but it's okay to fight. This little injury is out of the way. The Elder Fishman smiled and said something to the Shark Man, who grinned and patted the wound on his body, disapproving. The fish-men around followed its example and patted their wounds.

A little fishman handed a grilled fish to Bo Ruisi's hand, and "thank you" The little fishman shyly ran away.

With a sigh, Boreth was worried about Ollie's condition. "Elder, is there really no way to bring Ollie to his senses?"

When the elder heard Bo Ris's question, he waved his hand at the shark man, and said something in a whisper, and the shark man nodded, and called everyone to toast Bo Ris, and then went to the square on the side, and gave up all this place to Bo Race and the mer-man elder.

"Alas ~ High Priest, it's not that we don't want Ollie to come to his senses, it's just that the antidote to the fishman only works on the fishman, and in Ollie, we can only maintain Ollie's life at most and not disappear, but if we want him to come to his senses, there is really no way." The Fish-Man Elder sat on a nearby log and set the cup aside in his hand.

"What then? I want Ollie to take me to find Vere......" said Boreth with some anxiety.

"High Priest, don't blame me, an old fellow, for talking too much...... The Weier you mentioned fell in the sea of huge waves, I am afraid it is really lucky, even if he is lucky enough to drift to Monkey Island, there is no way to come here. ”

"Even if Wiel drifts to Monkey Island, there is no way for him to come here. ”

"Why? If it's because of the need for a boat, Wiel will do it. ”

"It's not about the boat, it's about the currents......"

"Ocean currents? Why? ”

"Glowing currents...... The glowing currents are the only way to Monkey Island, otherwise, no matter which island you are on, you will have to return to the other side of the island, or paddle directly into the waves. However, there are very few people who can sail out of the sea of big waves and come to this archipelago unless they have great skills or take a specific boat. ”

"And this kind of thing? …… No, I think I heard Winnie say it...... Let me think. Then, Boreth's eyes lifted and he looked at Elder Fishman. Could this island ...... No, it's this archipelago, is it the place where the three sea demons are sealed? ”

The elder nodded in surprise, "The high priest is really knowledgeable, and he even knows such secrets, that's right, what you sealed just now is the demon that we are guarding on Fish-Man Island, the mire crab." And on Monkey Island, there is a tiger shark demon. Farther afield, on Pigman Island, is the largest demonic kraken in the ocean. ”

Boreth then asked, "Since there are glowing currents...... Then why do you say we can't get there, Elder? ”

"Because the current disappeared not so long ago......"

"Gone? According to the record, the glowing currents only disappear when the demon breaks free from the seal......" Boris said, his eyes wide. "You said the current to Monkey Island is gone?!"

"Yes, before you didn't come, High Priestess, we always thought that it would disappear because our seal here was broken free by the demon, but now it seems that this is not the case." Elder Fishman said with some concern.

Boreth bit his lip, "I hope Veir is okay, he should be able to do it...... But what about Ollie? Something has to be done to bring it to its senses. ”

While Boris was worried and thinking, the old fishman sorted out his words and spoke again. "Actually, there's another possibility."

"In this sea, there is a king octopus...... It is in the depths of the ocean. We fish-people know where it is. ”

Boris turned slightly to Elder Fishman, "Why are you looking for it?" ”

"Because the octopus king may have an antidote...... No, it has everything, as long as you pay the starting price. ”

"Then let's go to it now and ask it what it needs to give us the antidote......"

Elder Fishman looked at the fire and shook his head again. "It's not that simple."

"What? Could it be that there is anything else special about this octopus king? ”

"That's not it, the octopus king is still very easy to get along with...... I've changed a lot of things from it before. ”

"That ......"

"It's still not easy to get to the place of King Octopus...... Recently, there are quite a few young men who want to go there by boat, but there is always a mist on the way to the current...... "The old fishman's eyes became deep, and he also revealed a trace of doubt. "But they either unknowingly came out of the fog again, or they disappeared into the fog."

"Disappear?" Bo Ruisi asked curiously.

"Yes, disappear...... Never came back......"

"What is that place?"

"That place used to be a sea with steady ocean currents, but five years ago...... I remember it rained for many days, and when the rain stopped, there was fog there......"

"Can no one pass from there?"

The Fish-Man Elder shook his head, "No, for five years, not a single Fish-Man can pass from there...... However, some of the fish-men who came back from the fog would mention to me that they had seen a lot of shipwrecks in the fog. ”

"Is it the remains of the Star Spirit?" Boreth asked again. "Probably, I haven't been there myself......"

"Then why did the elder tell me this?" Boris pondered, "Is it ...... Want an antidote...... It's going to cut through that fog......"

Elder Fishman nodded, "Don't you have a guess?" I'm thinking, those fogs...... Could it be that the unwilling souls of the sunken ship are wandering at sea? Blocking everything you want to go from there? ”

"So, what the elder means is that he wants me to go and see if I can use the power of the sacred tree to make the fog disappear there?"

Elder Fishman nodded. "That's it."
