"Traveler from afar, why did you come to the archipelago?"

"For the world of the stars, Priest Dinah, guardian of the archipelago."

"Through the maelstrom, into the sealed sea, to the land that should be forgotten, the people of the Star Spirits, you should leave here."

"Priest Dinah, since I have not traveled far away, the news I have brought is destined to be extraordinary." Will stood in front of the statue beneath Pigman Island, looking at the apparition in front of the idol in the light of the dry tree.

"The power of the sacred tree is drying up, if I don't come here, when the seal is broken and the sea demon breaks free from the seal, the world of the star spirit will be in danger again."

"Although the starlight is dim, the seal has not been reduced, and if the holy light of the people of the star spirit dissipates one day, the archipelago will also be carried into the deep sea by ship, diving into the endless abyss."

"If that's the case, my trip doesn't lose its meaning." Veer, who was standing in front of the idol, placed something in front of the temple. "If the thank you demon is really released back into the deep sea, the disaster of the star spirit will really be difficult to solve."

“…… Is this your choice? The carver of the Star Spirit? Or is it the choice of the Star Spirit people? ”

"What do you think? Does it really make sense for me to do this? ”

The light and shadow in front of the idol were silent for a long time. “…… The ordeal of the astral spirits is coming to an end, or is it beginning again. …… Yet, traveler, take the astral spirits out of the archipelago, take them out of the sea, and I will use the power of the sacred tree to open a way for you to return. ”

"Priest Dinah...... Thank you for your understanding, and I will be taking the Star Spirits to the Holy Tree City. ”

"The Star Spirits have lived on this archipelago for thousands of years, and they have also guarded the seals for thousands of years. Now it's time to leave. …… The divinity of the sacred tree is about to disappear, and a new era is coming. ”

"It's going to be a long process, Priest Dinah. Without the power of the sacred tree, your soul will completely dissipate, and you really won't go back with the star spirits and return to the sacred tree? ”

"Born here, guarded here, the island of others, but it is my love." The light and shadow condensed into an elegant priestess and walked in front of Will.

A small monkey jumped down from the branch of the sacred tree and ran to the priestess's side. "Even if the Star Spirit leaves, the creatures on this island will still exist, and I should at least protect them at that time."

Vir bowed deeply, "Priest Dinah, may the light of the sacred tree shine with you. ”

——

"Well, I didn't expect us to find the entrance to the tunnel so easily...... "Well-known thought that Hierro's luck was very good, and he could get out of the secret passage with a single fall, could it be because of the pirate hat.

Ver looked at the hat on Hiero's head...... However, Hierro didn't have a hat with him now, and he placed it on the ground by the campfire.

"Okay, what do we do now?" "Do you want to go on this secret door?" ”

"The tunnel won't disappear, why are you in a hurry? Cut, today is really bad luck, stepping on the mud again, and tripping over a stone...... No matter, I'll go to bed first. Hierro smoothed two handfuls of grass and covered the open entrance to the tunnel, "So that nothing will crawl out of here for a short time, and I hope to get a good night's sleep." ”

"Wiel, I also think we should rest first, and when we have enough spirits, we will continue to explore below." Bo Race came to the side, the night wind was a little cool, slightly blowing the ends of her hair, a little messy, looking haggard.

"If there's anything as dangerous down there as dangerous as those fish, we'll not have time to react."

“…… Okay, then let's rest first, and then we will move on when everyone is full of energy. ”

Wiel spread several sheets on the floor around the campfire. "By the way, Boreth, is that hat I found in the Misty Ship still with you?"

"That's what you're talking about?" Boris pulled out what looked like a Viking helmet, "Is this it?" ”

"Yes, that's it." Wille took it, "When I saw Hierro's hat just now, I suddenly remembered it. ”

Ver looked at the hat through the state of famine and said to himself, "Sure enough, it's a battle helmet...... But is it crooked or famine that really appeared in this world? ...... "Because Wille remembered that the box was clearly used for the costumes of the show."

"Oh, by the way...... What about the guide? Placing his hat in his backpack, Weir crouched up and turned to look at the campfire.

"Still here?" Bo Ruisi was also slightly surprised, "Maybe it's out, right?" ”

"Hmm...... I'll take a look. ”

Wer ran out of the collapse of a wall, and the moon shone on the sea, and the cold light and the smell of the mud mixed with the humidity came to his face, and he came out of the corner of the wall, and was exposed to the wind. "Hmm~ The wind at night is a little cold...... Is it going to get cold? ”

Looking around, he thought the fish-man was there to solve a physical problem, but he didn't, and Wille found the fish-man guide standing on their way to it, on a small mound of protruding mounds, looking out over the swamp from which they came.

"How did you get here, guide?" Vere took a few steps to the fish-man's side.

"Hmm...... The ...... of fire "The fish-man seemed to be taken aback, and when he turned around and saw that it was Will, he relieved himself and pointed in the direction of the swamp, "Wow...... Fire! ……”

"Fire?" Wiel followed the fish-man's finger and looked towards the swamp.

"Will you find it?" The voice of Boris could be heard in the distance down the slope.

"Oh! Found it, don't worry, you can rest first...... I'll wait with it and I'll go back...... What fire did he say? Ver patted the fishman again, "What fire?" ”

"Fire ...... Fire ......" the fish-man continued to speak, but Ver didn't see any fire. "Where is the fire?"

"There is fire...... Swamp, whoa, fire ......" the fish-man guide pointed into the distance.

Wiel bent his eyes and looked into the distance, in the depths of the swamp, which should have been a waterhole or something like a mire, and some fire that looked like a phosphorus fire loomed in the distance.

"Can there be phosphorus fire in such a place?" Wiel looked back at the sea, "There is no such place on earth anyway...... Probably. ”

"If it wasn't phosphorus fire, what would it be?" Wille wanted to try to see clearly, so he unconsciously took two steps forward.

"Weir, what are you doing?!" Behind him came Boreth's voice, and Vere looked back, only to find that Boreth was standing on the dirt slope, and that he had already walked some distance.

Will's footsteps froze, and he pulled the fish-man guide who was still walking forward, "Fire...... Fire, fire," the fish-man guide kept repeating those words.

"What a wicked man...... "Will turn and walk toward Boreth." I ......"

"How did you move forward?" Boreth stood on the slope with a serious face. "It's okay...... You didn't go far. ”

"What a wicked man, Boreth, I just ......."

"I know, there's so much we don't know about this swamp, let's get back."

"You're right...... It's better not to wander around in the dark...... Prone to accidents. At this time, the fish-man pulled by Weir no longer repeated the fire fire, but fell asleep, even if he was dragged by Weier, he did not mean to wake up.

"That...... Boreth, is there any way to isolate the evil things here, can your magic do it? Placing the fish-man on the ground by the campfire, Ver sat down on a bunk.

"I've already set one up here." Bo Ruisi pointed to the stone wall next to him, which was faintly lit up. "As long as you don't leave the confines of this campfire, there shouldn't be any magic that can affect this place."

"Hierro is asleep...... "Weel lay on the cover, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a stone wall appeared in the place where the wind was leaking.

"It's so much better now...... Alas~ There are so many strange places on this island...... Good night. ”

"Well, good night."

The night, the ruins, the clouds obscuring the moon, the waves surging, the temperature of the campfire, warmed everyone, until the next morning, when the sun shone on the cover, Boris sat up and looked around, only to find that there was one person missing from the campfire.

"Vere? …… Where are you? "Boris's gaze is fixed on the dark passage, and the entrance that was originally covered is open." Wrong! Two less! ”

Hierro was still snoring, and Veil and the fish-man were gone.
