134 - Hierro's Misty Vision
"Looks like I'm stuck in a goddamn place, there should always be an exit." Captain Hierro left the side of the ship, already realizing that he might be trapped somewhere, and the lack of that slimy seaweed on his hands was enough to speak.
"I'll have to find out." Hierro doesn't know anything about magic, but he believes that no matter what magic is, it must be based on some foundation, so what will be the composition of the illusion that is trapping him now?
They were on a ship, that was for sure, at least, Hierro was sure that he had no problem when he boarded the deck, because although he didn't understand it, the high priest's perception of magic should not be wrong. Although he had never used magic, Hierro spent more than ten seconds sorting out all the words he had heard in the past few days, and summarized some important points about magic and illusions. "Magic array, magic items. These two things are supposed to be the source of the illusion. This is what the High Priest told Hierro before he came to the deck.
The mast, the bow, was surrounded by mist, and the sides of the ship on both sides were bottomless, Hierro looked at the quiet fog in front of him, thought for a moment, and began on the deck of this ship, Hierro turned and came to the back of several boxes, where Boris should have stood, which was empty.
There were no gates, no downward barns, wooden ladders, and Hierro could only stay on deck. The only place he hadn't been was the room on the deck below the rudder, and Hierro was standing here with a serious expression on his face.
Eagle-like eyes surveyed the wooden door and its frame. Taking two steps forward, the fog dispersed to both sides, and a doorknob appeared in front of Hierro, and the copper pull ring handle hung on the door brand new and neat, Hierro's brow furrowed, because he felt a little familiar, the style of this handle was very similar to the former Yishou ship, and it was very similar to the handle on the flagship of his own fleet, that is, Hierro's own ship.
Hierro stretched out his hand and grabbed the pull tab on the door, his eyes couldn't help but widen, that feeling that he would never forget, he would never forget, how could he forget his love boat? The feeling coming from the doorknob was so clear, and it was so consistent with the feeling that I had been reliving and remembering in the cage for so many years.
Hierro's arm strained and pulled the wooden door open.
Walking in, closing the door with his hand, it was not a dilapidated room, Hierro took off his hat and hung it back, and a delicate copper hook with precious stone crumbs and patterns decorated caught it.
This is his captain's quarters, just as he was when he left it decades ago. Hierro's wrinkled, swollen and damp hand pressed against the familiar table, and the two drops of ink that had been lightly sprinkled on it with a quill had not yet dried, and on it was a letter he was about to write to his lover. The hanging sword on the wall was missing, and it was on the waist that Hiero had touched with his hand, and the blade was missing a piece of the long sword.
Hierro, who was mourning, suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Captain Hierro? I came in. "It's the voice of my first mate.
Then, with the sound of a wooden door, a young star spirit walked in from outside, wiped his face lightly, and shook off some of the water on his body, "It's raining outside, Captain, maybe we have to wait before we can move on." ”
As if he hadn't noticed Hierro's appearance, he looked at Hiero with a pair of eyes. "Captain?"
"Is it really you?" Hierro took two steps forward and looked at the first mate in front of him in the bright room, exactly like he had been decades ago.
The first mate wiped another handful of water, took out a towel from a cabinet next to him, and said with some surprise while wiping it, "What do you say?" Captain, I'm your first mate. He shook his hand in front of Hierro's eyes, "Are you drinking by yourself again?" The corner of the first mate's eye looked at the letter on the table, "Captain, we are pirates, why do we use this way, you like her, wouldn't it be good to grab it directly?" ”
The first mate stepped forward and helped the stunned Captain Hierro to the side of the chair and sat down, and the first mate's hands were a little cold.
"Captain, Captain?"
"Ah~ where are we now?"
"Hey~" The first mate sighed and said helplessly, "We are now sailing towards the legendary archipelago that you found, Captain, if you want me to say, it is better to grab a ticket in the private sea of those fool lords." ”
Hierro had just come back to his senses at this time, "You're right, first mate, we're really going in the wrong direction, there's nothing in that hellish place, just a bunch of monkeys, we have to go back quickly!" ”
Hierro hurriedly got up from his chair and walked to the cabinet next to the table, trying to find the compass and charts inside.
In the open cabinet was a carved magic stone, which attracted Hierro's attention and communicated with the magic stone, which made contact with the monkeys on the island. "First mate, go and tell the boys that we are going home, and that we are not going to the islands. Chief mate? Chief mate? ”
Hierro turned his head, and in the bright room, it was quiet, and there was no one behind him.
Before Hierro could come to his senses, suddenly, the whole captain's room began to shake, and as soon as Hierro fell to the ground, there was a shouting sound outside the door, and he could hear the voices of his boys.
He quickly got up and ran to the door in two steps, trying to pull it open, but found that the door seemed to be blocked from the outside, and could not be pushed open or knocked open.
At this time, the shouting outside stopped suddenly, and Hierro was heartbroken, and quickly ran to the small wooden window on the side, opened the window cover, and looked outside, a pile of wooden boxes were piled up at the door, in front of the window, Hierro could only look out through the gap in the boxes, the fog turned into heavy rain, and in the dense rain, Hierro saw people standing in a trance like a soul looking at a place on the deck.
Hierro hurriedly wanted to look in that direction, but the wooden box blocked his vision, and only a gap at the top could be seen, and Hiero looked up, and he saw a nightmare that had haunted him for decades.
The beast that engulfed his fleet in the torrential rain, the three eyes of that beast, he will never forget!
"Run!" Hierro let out a heart-rending cry, and Hiero pressed his face against the window as if to squeeze himself out of it. But his voice didn't seem to come through, no one moved, only saw countless black shadows swaying in front of those three eyes, and then there was a jolt and a violent sound on the deck.
Hierro was shaken open again, and when Hierro got up again and looked out, it was already a thick fog again.
"Ha, hahaha." Hierro burst out laughing, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already red. But Hierro's hands were clenched, and the blood flowing between his fingers and his red eyes showed that Hierro was not calm now.
"What are you?! Get the hell out of here! Hierro's hand waved vigorously and slammed it on the door that couldn't be pushed open, and with a reckless wave of his arm, with a thud, the surrounding things were knocked to the ground, and Hierro staggered back a few steps and sat down on the floor in the captain's room.
Hierro closed his eyes in pain, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you, boys!" I'm the one who hurt you! Captain Hierro's cry of sorrow was rowed down with a cloudy tear.
At this time, the door was opened, and Hierro looked at the door with red glasses, and his first mate was standing there with his head guard covered in **, "First mate...... You guys! Hierro stood up with the corner of the wall and looked out the door, and Hierro saw the torrential rain pouring down, just like that day, and behind the first mate, a group of trance-like figures and faces were now motionless in the torrential rain.
"Captain......" "Captain......" whispered and murmured from the crowd.
The first mate standing at the front of the "Captain......" spoke, and the "Captain......" the first mate looked calmly at Hierro who fell to the ground.
"You, did you come to me?" Hierro trembled.
Hierro stood up, a thick fog drifted in from outside the door, and the first mate and the crew behind him slowly approached Hierro. The lights in the captain's cabin slowly dimmed, and the lights that had entered the fog were dimmed.
The hook by the door had the captain's pirate hat on it, and the first mate's sluggish footsteps paused. Immediately, an anxious look suddenly appeared in the first mate's eyes. Taking the hat from the side, the first mate stepped forward and came to Hierro.
"Captain, please take your hat." The ghost behind the first mate slowly approached, and the first mate's expression became tense. "Captain, you need to get out of here and avenge us." The first mate solemnly put the hat in his hand on the stunned Hierro's head.
"We have always believed in you, Captain...... You're getting out of here, she's still waiting for you. ”
"First mate! How can I save you? Are you still alive? Hierro suddenly spoke, trying to grab the first mate's shoulder. But he suddenly leaned forward, and Hierro was surprised to find that his hands had gone through the shoulders of the first mate. It was a pounce.
"Captain, farewell......" Hierro's ears rang out as he fell forward, and then he felt a hand push him behind his back, throwing himself into the fog.
"Yikes! …… Chief mate! Hierro threw himself on the ground and jerked his head back. only to find that he was next to the mast at the stern of the ship, and behind him, there was a faint mist. I was back on the ship.
Hitting the deck with his hands hard, some green algae got on Hierro's hands.
"Trust me, boys, I'm going to avenge you!" Hierro's eyes were blood-red, "I will, I'll kill that monster!" ”
On the mast behind Hierro, a strange pattern of green algae has lost its intact form and slipped from the mast, and strangely, on this green algae, there is a wet handprint, and it is this handprint that destroys this rune......
