"There are no coral reefs in this archipelago, only a colony of coral in the King Octopus." The three of them sat in the elder's hut and talked to each other.

"It's a pity that all the corals you got have sunk to the bottom of the sea, otherwise there wouldn't be such a hurry." Bo Ruisi's brows furrowed, "What about Vere, the sea route to the coral side is blocked by the fog, we still have to find a way to get there." ”

"Is there any clue or method that you can refer to?" Vermo rubbed his chin, "How did that fog form?" Why is it there? ”

The elder shook his head, "We really don't know about this, because this fog has just appeared. ”

"And when did it appear?" Veil wanted to find clues in it.

Elder Fishman thought for a moment, "It was probably five years ago...... I remember it was back then. ”

"Did anything special happen five years ago?" Boreth's gaze turned to Vere again, going back and forth between the fishman and Veel.

"Five years ago...... I remember a heavy rainstorm. ”

- The following is all fish-man language -

"Patriarch! Today we can't go to sea, this sea is about to turn into a beast that devours everything! The elder stood beside the boat, looking at the whitening waves and the rocking boats tied to the shore.

"Okay, I'll order the people to come back." A fish-man with swollen muscles and a beautiful bluefin stood on the slope and looked out to the sea in the distance. "How's the matter with the seal? Is it still irreversible? ”

The elder sighed, "Without the support of the Star Spirits, the Holy Tree would have disappeared completely, and without the power of the Holy Tree, there would be no way to maintain that seal. "If we don't do anything, I guess in a few years, that thing will break free from the seal......

"I see...... I'll figure it out. ”

“…… Patriarch, if it's true on the record, then ......"

"I can't let my people risk it."

“…… All right. The elder turned and walked away.

The patriarch looked at the sea in front of him and was silent, the key on its neck was as silvery white as the current sky, and a long silk white chain tied it around the fishman's neck, slowly floating.

The storm is coming!

Big waves, torrential rain, thunder and lightning are intertwined between the sea and the sky.

The fish people walked on the ground, and the dorsal fin behind them was blown to one side by the wind and pressed firmly against their backs. The fishmen who were walking in the wind all bowed down, their flippers stomping deep marks on the muddy ground. "Fortunately, the patriarch didn't let us go to sea, I was about to collapse when I walked on land, and if I was in the sea, I don't know where I would have drifted now."

"Look at that big wave, it's as long as a catfish I've ever eaten!"

"The catfish is soft and collapsed, what is delicious, or the bullet fish has a taste!"

"Nonsense! Catfish is faith! ”……

The fish-man patriarch stood on a sloping ground, and the wind and rain blew on it as if it were on a reef. Seeing that the fish people had successfully returned to the island, the patriarch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

His eyes looked into the sea, into the distance after the storm, "The elder said that the king octopus can be exchanged for anything...... I don't know, can we exchange the freedom and safety of our fishmen......" The fish-man patriarch secretly made up his mind that the fish-man clan must no longer be threatened by demons, although the elder has always said that the star spirit is kind to the fish-people, although the patriarch does not deny this, but he will definitely not be like the elder, it wants to give the fish-man clan more space, more room for survival, instead of being trapped on an island like now, guarding the seal for generations. Looking at the fish people around him, the patriarch's heart was both relieved and heartbroken, and the fish people should not be satisfied with just this. "It seems that after the heavy rain, I need to go to the octopus king to get some things...... Something really useful. ”

While he was pondering, suddenly someone next to him called out to him and looked in that direction. "Patriarch! Patriarch! Look there! Below a fishman danced and pointed in one direction.

The fish-man patriarch frowned, looked at the sea, and couldn't help but be taken aback, in the distance of the waves, there was a big ship...... Although it looked like a small black spot from the shore, and the big ship was bouncing up and down in the waves, in such a dark environment, it should be impossible to see that place...... The patriarch only hesitated a little to know that the big ship was on fire!

Although it was a small point of vision, the orange light of the fire enveloped the entire ship.

——

“…… After that, when the torrential rain stopped, a fog appeared on the sea, and the patriarch went to the fog with a group of people to see if he could bring the people on the boat back, but ...... Hey~" The elder sighed, "In the time after that, the patriarch disappeared, the seal collapsed, and the fishmen had to hide from that guy everywhere on this island, fortunately, at the last moment, the high priest came here, otherwise, the fate of the fishmen would have disappeared like foam in the sea." ”

"So if we want to get through there, we have to go through the fog? Five years ago...... Boat, misty ......" Will, who was on the side, scratched his head, "I have a vague feeling that I have overlooked something...... But now it seems that what we have to do is to go to the fog and have a look. ”

"To the mist? It's too dangerous! ”

"But we have to go, Ollie's condition can't be delayed any longer, and besides, the easiest way to know about a mysterious thing is to approach it." Weir insisted.

Boreth groaned slightly, "Okay, then I'll go with you." The two were about to get up and leave.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Wiel looked at the door, and it was Captain Hierro.

He walked in, and was stunned at first when he saw the three of Vere, Boreth, and Elder Fishman. Then he bowed slightly.

"Hello, High Priestess. Praise the light of the sacred tree. Then he stood up, and Boris was stunned for a moment, then saluted back.

"So, you're Captain Hierro who defeated the Tiger Shark with Will?"

"The High Priest is gracious, my name is Hierro, and I am a sea ...... Captain. ”

Hierro then looked at Elder Hierro, and before Hiero could speak, Elder Hierro said, "Captain Hiero, have you found the answer you are looking for?" ”

"You two know each other?" Wiel's gaze traveled between the elder and Hierro. Weel was not used to it, and Hierro had been using honorifics. If he hadn't known who he was, based on his performance just now, Wille would have thought he was a polite old gentleman, a kind old captain or something.

"Captain Hierro has just approached me...... Elder Fishman said with a smile, "and he asked me how to get around this sea, and I took him to the library. ”

"It's about the ships of the sea?" Will also wondered, "Captain Hierro, did you find anything?" ”

"Some of these fish people left with the Star Spirits, and some stayed here...... I just want to ask if the key to the ship of the sea is with you. Captain Hierro replied to Will, then looked at the Elder Fish-Man and asked.

Elder Fishman looked at Captain Hierro, and then said, "The key isn't here...... He has followed the patriarch into the depths of the mist, and perhaps you can find it in the mist, or you can join them through the mists to find the Octopus King and ask him for the key. ”

"Captain Hierro, I wonder if you can take us through the sea of great waves to the back of the fog?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, High Priest, I came to find this old fishman just to find that legendary sea ship, and ordinary ships can't sail in that kind of sea." Hierro put his hat on and shook his head slightly. "And, if you want to find the ship, you must first find the key."

"Keys? What key? Will wondered.

Hierro took out a key from his bosom, and the crowd looked into Hierro's hand, "Isn't this the key to open your cage?" Elder Fishman nodded, "This is one of them. ”

"And two keys...... A handful of fishmen, a handful of monkeys. But the monkey's key had long since been lost, long ago when the tiger shark was infested. Hierro flipped the keys with his hand, "Only by finding these three keys will we be able to find and open the ship...... The ship that was supposed to carry everyone from the three islands away. ”

"It's just a legend...... In fact, the silver key of the patriarch is just a key to open the door......" Elder Fishman shook his head.

"Whether it's a legend or not, you have to find out." Hiero did not continue on to the topic of the key, "By the way, High Priest, what are you going to do through the fog?" ”

"We're going to find the King Octopus." Veil didn't hide and was honest.

Hierro narrowed his eyes, "King Octopus? That record says that you can find everything in the sea? …… Okay, I'll go with you. ”
