Just as Veil and his party were exploring the fog to find the voyage record, on Fish-Man Island, in the ruins of the Star Spirit.

Underground, in the library, walking through a delicate stone corridor, the sound of crutches hitting the ground, several sturdy fishmen stood on either side, the light of the torches in their hands fluttering.

The Fish-Man Elder came to a door and stood still, and the shark-man who followed behind him walked in front of the Fish-Man Elder in two steps, the muscles on his body swelled, and he forcefully pushed the stone door in front of the Fish-Man Elder open, and when the stone door opened, it rubbed against the ground with a harsh hoarse sound.

A wind blew up, sending orange flames into the cracks of the open door.

The fish-men on both sides looked intently at the opposite side, and the entire underground looked very solemn and eerie.

"Elder." The shark-man stepped aside and gave way to the door.

The Fishman Elder nodded, and walked up the stairs into the stone door. Halfway through, he stopped.

"Come in too."

The shark man was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "Yes!" Elder! ”

The two of them walked in, and the stone door slowly closed, and no one pushed it, but the sturdy fishman with the torch did not move, and still stood there straight. The closure of the stone door shook the gravel on the top of the stone corridor, and some of it fell into the fish-man's eyes, but the fish-man still didn't move, but the eyes were lifeless......

"Elder......" The shark-man followed the elder to a hall, and in the middle of the hall, there was a brazier, from which a flame rose and burned, illuminating the dimly lit space.

"Quiet." After a pause on his crutches, the elder snapped.

The shark man immediately did not dare to squeak, and even became cautious when walking, and he could even see a fine sweat on the shark man's face. "God of the Sea......" Elder Fishman said as he walked to the front of the brazier, opened his arms, and shouted to the dark place behind the brazier. Listen to the call of your people and wake up from their eternal slumber. ”

The shark-man cautiously raised his head and looked at the back of the Fish-Man Elder on the steps a few steps earlier.

"This is the temple of the god of the sea...... he thought, "where only the Fish-Man elders can enter." ”

He lifted his head slightly and looked at the darkness behind the brazier, "I can't see it...... But it must be an idol of the god of the sea. ”

At this moment, the flames of the brazier began to sway as if they had been blown by the wind. The Fish-Man Elder maintained a posture of prayer, chanting something towards the idol.

The shark-man felt that the voice of the fish-man elder was getting louder and louder, from the slow and faint old voice at the beginning, to a strong and loud chant.

The flames in the brazier kept tumbling like waves, splashing sparks in the brazier, but strangely, none of the sparks came out of the brazier.

The shark man, who had already lowered his head, felt a gaze projected from above, and the feeling of being watched was particularly strong.

The shark-man looked up cautiously and slowly, trying to find the gaze that was staring at him.

It looked up, and then it froze.

The flames in the brazier rose from the brazier as if gasoline had been poured into it, and the flames rose higher and higher, and became larger and larger. The light of the flames illuminated the entire hall.

The shark-man saw it, and saw the statue of the god of the sea in the darkness behind the brazier, a strange statue that looked like an octopus but had countless tentacles, and a head like a bird with three eyes carved into it.

But the shark-man couldn't take his eyes off it, and as if fascinated, he looked at the statue above. It's a stone statue, but the shark man feels like it's alive, and there is a soul in the eyes, and the statue ...... It's alive! There was cunning and greedy viciousness in that look.

"Nope! This is not the god of the sea, this is the devil! Shark-Man thought so, but he felt like he couldn't move at all, not a finger, not a breath.

And the elder standing under the brazier was still there with his head bowed and constantly shouting loudly. Until the flames fluttered violently again.

Suddenly, the shark-man behind him spoke, "My people...... I am your god of the sea...... Why wake me up? "The flames rose to the highest place at this time.

The elder didn't look back, but slowly crawled to the ground, throwing himself to the ground towards the strange statue.

"God of the Sea, your people have obeyed your command to seal or kill all the demons......"

"Well done...... The demons have disappeared from the archipelago...... My people...... My strength is about to be restored...... Your wishes are about to come true. ”

"Thank you for your kindness...... Your humble people, god of the sea, ask you if you can use your divine power to guide us to the lost ship of the sea. ”

“…… The treasures of the ocean are sealed in the depths of the sea that no light can reach, and only by gathering three keys can the door be opened...... My people...... Bring these three keys here, and I will bring the treasures of the ocean to you......"

The shark-man behind him walked to the brazier, applied sluggishly, and stretched out an arm into the flames without hesitation, without screaming, not even reacting, and when the fish-man withdrew his arm, the shark-man's arm suddenly appeared in the shape of three keys imprinted on it.

"Thank you for your kindness...... The god of the sea...... "Elder Fishman buried his head deeply.

"Let's go...... My people...... The storms in the oceans have become more violent...... Without my divine power, the archipelago would perish in an instant......" The flames in the brazier became weaker, and in just a moment, the brazier returned to the way it was when the elder first came in.

The hall became dark again, and the flames just now did not bring warmth to the entire space, but on the contrary, it became colder and colder.

The Fish-Man Elder crawled on the ground for a moment, and the Shark-Man stood dumbfounded.

The old fishman picked up the cane beside him, leaned on the ground, and slowly stood up. Without saying a word, he turned and walked out of the hall.

The shark-man behind him also slowly followed the fish-man elder, knowing that when he came to the place he had just entered, the stone door naturally opened without making the slightest sound.

The two men walked out of the door, and the stone door closed, but there was no way to push it.

The Fishman Elder stood in the stone corridor for a moment, then let out a long sigh, shook the staff in his hand, and strode forward.

The shark-man behind him stood quietly in the dark, just like the fish-man holding the torch next to him, his eyes numb, as if he had lost his soul.

"So what are we waiting for?" When Wiel heard Hiero say that there was a route map of the city of the Star Spirit, he couldn't wait to tell Hierro.

"It would be great if there were charts." Boreth spoke to Vere as he rummaged through the small bookshelves. "Because it's weird here, we can't be in a hurry, and the more we want to go out, the more we have to know the truth of the matter. Rushing around will only complicate things...... Of course......" Boreth tossed a small block in his hand. "Of course, we know something now, and there's nothing more to look for here."

"Hmm...... It looks like the logbook we're looking for is still in that pilot ship. Hierro stepped out from behind the desk.

Wille also threw "On the Value Elements of Jewels" in his hand on the table. "Pease, how are you doing?"

Pease, who was holding the doll in his hand, nodded to Will, "Will, I feel a little flustered......

"It's okay Pease, you'll be fine with us by your side." Wiel touched Pease's head, turned to the other two, and said, "...... Well, let's head straight to the ship and find the answers we want. ”
