123 - To the Fog of the Shipwreck

"The Spirits have all left this sea?" Boris stood on the boat, trying to make another confirmation.

Hierro took the rudder and deflected the ship a little to one side. "It's been a long time, and you're the first living person I've seen in so many years. Ha ha! ”

Hierro looked in the direction of the cabin with some surprise, "We're all the same, it's already remarkable that we can get together in places where these birds don't, and I've been waiting for you for decades." ”

"Did you really work together to kill the demons?"

"High priest, you can actually try it yourself." Captain Hierro laughed, "The fishmen say that the High Priest helped them seal the demon here, and you must have fought it. What it was like to feel when you fought with that guy, High Priest, you should know best in your heart. ”

After hearing this, Boris couldn't help but be silent, "You're right, I feel that this guy doesn't seem to be the same as the other demons in my memory. ”

"It's not the same as in the book, it's more like a beast, isn't it? No more cunning, no longer invincible. There are weaknesses and injuries can be ...... Or even die. Hierro patted the rudder, "That's right, the demons have lost their original 'divinity' or 'demonic nature', and they are now just some tricky beasts, magical beasts. ”

"I see, I thought it was caused by their extreme weakness when they had just broken through the seal...... Now that I think about it, it's exactly what you said. Bo Ruisi nodded between his eyebrows, "If the Star Spirits had faced such a demon a long time ago, we would not have been in a hurry. ”

"You can't say that, high priest, what you do is necessary...... I don't know exactly what the situation is, but it's probably not something that can be done overnight to make the demon what it is today. ”

"Do you know something? Demons without magic and immortality are definitely no match for the Star Spirits who use magic and the power of the Sacred Tree, so why haven't the Star Spirits completely wiped them out? ”

"Hahaha, High Priest, the power of the demons is gone, but so is the power of the star spirits." Hierro held out his hand and showed it to Boreth. "We're not going to do magic anymore...... You can feel it, High Priestess, I don't have a trace of magic in my body, of course, though I don't know what magic is. ”

Bo Ruisi nodded, "It's true that there is no trace of magic power, this is not normal, even if the star spirit has no talent, there will be some magic power in the body more or less, which is the talent given to the star spirit by the holy tree and the star soul." ”

"Now there are very few star spirits with magical powers, and there are many like me. Although the specific reason is not clear, all the star spirits agree with this way, high priest, the times have changed, and they are no longer the same era. Hierro withdrew his hand, "Everything changed in your time, High Priest...... This is recorded in the book, and every star spirit knows it. And you are the protagonist in it. ”

"In the book? Am I the main character? Bo Ruisi was puzzled, "What does it say?" ”

"Hmm...... Let me think about ......"

——

"New Era":

…… Everyone knows that there are many seals in this world, and the seals are surrounded by sacred trees, but few people know why they are there...... The High Priest of Boris assisted many priests to seal the demons together, and passed down the method of sealing, and the world of the star spirit ushered in a brief peace. But the threat of the abyss remains. Winnie and Priest Sta were divided into two factions.

Priest Winnie believes that the Abyss is a threat to the Astral World, both in the past and in the future, and should find a way to seal the Abyss completely, or use other methods to expel the Abyss from the Astral World forever.

The Sta Priest, on the other hand, wants to use the power of the sealed demons to open up the abyss and turn it into a world suitable for the Star Spirits.

Both arguments are supported and opposed, but both sides are troubled and intractable.

The Sta Priest first made progress through the study of demons and seals, and the Sta Priest discovered a surprising fact, the existence of the sacred tree is actually related to the abyss and demons, although the Sta faction advocates the conquest of the abyss, but still shows great surprise in this matter.

Priest Winnie then discovered the method of sealing the abyss, and the discovery of that method made Priest Winnie hesitate in his decision.

But in the end, Winnie and Priest Stahl came to an agreement to seal the abyss forever with demonic power.

Many people were sacrificed, including Winnie and the Priest of Star, but they finally succeeded in sealing the abyss, and although the Star Spirits lost their magic and the power of the Sacred Tree, it was the Star Spirits' own choice, and the Star Spirits chose to find a new era.

…… The creator of the Prophecy Stone and Obelisk, the Star Spirit Carver, Vir, left a prophecy before disappearing into the final abyss. In the future, when the Astral Spirits encounter difficulties again, High Priest Boris will return to the Astral Spirits world and lead the Astral Spirits out of their predicament.

——

"Hmm...... That's it. Hierro briefly described, "As for how they sealed the abyss, why there are still demons sealed everywhere, I don't know. ”

"But why did the Star Spirits give up the seal and go somewhere else?" Boris was surprised.

"Maybe they're leaving, maybe because the demons don't have the ability to destroy the world......" Hierro's gaze was deep.

"The sacred tree is gone...... The abyss was gone, and that's what they discovered, and the greater the power of the sacred tree, the greater the power of the abyss. Hierro regained his grip on the rudder, "If you want to conquer the abyss, you must first conquer yourself." That's what the guy from Ville said...... I think he's right. ”

"Is that so?" Bo Ruisi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "In other words, their final decision is to return this world to the pre-First Age?" ”

"I don't know what it was like before the First Age, but the Star Spirits are no longer protected by the Sacred Tree, but they are also free from the threat of the Abyss. And the star spirits are also living well. Hierro turned his head, "Isn't it good now?" Using the power of runes to collect the remaining magical power in the astral world, the astral spirits can still use some magic. ”

"But the stars are gone."

"yes......." Hierro seemed to be a little emotional. "Like you, High Priest, I have the answer ...... to find."

"Captain Hierro, is there a way for you to get out of this sea?" Boreth felt that there was something else to ask, "How do we get out of this sea?" Do you have any clues? ”

"To find the ship of the sea, High Priestess, the only thing I can think of is the legendary ship of the sea." Captain Hierro said.

"The ship of the sea?" Bo Ruisi said strangely, "If that's the case, then the star spirits who were here before should have taken the ocean ship you said, shouldn't there be many ocean ships here?" ”

"No, they used the teleportation array on Pigman Island, but that teleportation array had disappeared in an earthquake...... No one knows who built the ship of the sea and who found this island, but the legend of the ship of the ocean is that it was the first ship to sail here, and the stars came here from that ship. ”

Hierro paused, "After the teleportation array was established, it was properly preserved, first, to give future people a way out. In addition, it was also to prevent the demon at that time from breaking the seal and leaving by boat...... Haha, it's surprising to think that the demons of that time, beasts like tiger sharks, could also sail boats. Therefore, according to legend, the star spirits who came here first made three keys from the object that unlocked the seal of the ocean ship. Each is placed with a seal. Of course, they have other uses. For example, as a key to some prison. ”

"But even if we find the key, where should we go to find the ship?" Bo Ruisi asked with some curiosity.

"High Priest, we can only go step by step, let's find the key first. As for the rest, I don't really know. Alright, that's all for the previous matter, High Priest, and here we are. ”

Weel sat in the cabin, and the ship she had just made had made her own wounds open again.

Pease carefully tended to Wiel's wounds, and Wiel himself brought some reeds and papyrus from the Fish-Man Elder to make some 'honey ointment'.

"You're still coming along, Pease."

"Where Brother Weir is, I will be there." Pease placed a dogskin-like ointment on Will's shoulder, wrapping the bandage tightly.

"Then you have to be careful, listen to the Elder Fish-Man, the fog here will swallow people......"

Pease pouted, "Brother Vere is scaring again, I think they're just lost in the fog." ”

"Be careful, don't lose it. No one knows what will happen. ”

"Well, I see...... Is there still dragon fruit pie? Pease asked.

"Yes." Wille looked out the small window of the ship and saw that the fog was already hazy around him.
