……

After a brief farewell to Rios, everyone landed on the Ocean Star with the Sail spaceship.

This is a planet with more than 90% ocean coverage, and it is blue from the perspective of space.

The blue color makes the soul feel melancholy, especially the ocean, which is such a deep blue.

The water contamination was not Rey's surprise, but it was a shock to him.

The Sail sent a team to deal with the pollution of the small area of water together with the War Dark Alliance, and then the scientists on the Sail studied the water quality to think of some ways to speed it up.

"It's Obi again—" Gaia yawned with a long tail note.

Hundreds of Obi factories in one go, a lot of work.

The Cell's chose a relatively clean place to house the spacecraft, and quickly mingled with the local population.

At night, the evening breeze of the Ocean Star blows and is very comfortable.

Cassius questioned a few passers-by and learned that Rey had been staying at the observatory, and after hesitating for a while, he made up his mind to find him. After the hatch opened, he saw the golden elf standing against the railing not far away, seemingly staring at the starry sky in a daze, Cassius lightened his steps on a whim, and walked over cautiously to scare him. He quietly paced behind the captain, and then suddenly shouted his name, "...... Ray! ”

Rey shuddered with fright, and with a conditioned reflex turned around and his fingers pinched his neck, and a twist of his wrist pinned him to the ground.

Boom.

Then the two spirits looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds.

"Wow!" I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big, Cassius was suddenly grabbed by the neck and pressed to the ground unsuspectingly, the back of his head touched the cold metal floor, and he couldn't help but shiver, and looked at the captain with some embarrassment for a few seconds before half-jokingly speaking: "Hey, captain let go, it's me." ”

"Ahh......h............h

"It's okay, it's okay," Cassius waved his hand to show that he was fine, scratching the back of his head and looking up at Rey, "Team, captain, the curse before...... I'm sorry. ”

"That's nothing." Rey sighed and continued to lie on the railing. "Nothing...... I don't blame you. No need to apologize. ”

"Well, I still can't control that curse," Cassius lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, his tail swaying slightly from side to side with some uneasiness, "so sometimes...... It's still going to hurt everyone. ”

"Curse," Rey looked back at him, "it's an ability you've been born with. Whether you control it or not, it's a part of you. Whether it's a gift from heaven or a curse is up to you. He raised his hand and poked Cassius in the heart with his index finger, "You don't need to be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of, everyone is ...... Even if Blake he wasn't there. He lowered his voice, "No one will blame you. Don't blame yourself. ”

Cassius opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't think of what to say for a moment, nodded and took a step forward, leaned against the railing on the edge of the observatory, lowered his eyelids, and was silent for a moment, "...... But I don't want to have it. How good is it to be a normal elf like this? There are not so many things to care about, there is no curse to carry, and there is no need to worry about not being able to control your power and accidentally hurting the elves you care about. ”

Rey leaned back on the railing and rubbed his forehead with his fingers in some discomfort. Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but smile, "No matter how you say it, the ability is in you, and you can't change it." Besides, I don't have a curse, and I have to care about a lot of things.

"I'm your captain. I have to take care of all your things, I have to carry all kinds of pots, and I have to reconcile the relationship between the dark alliance and the war alliance...... As for the spirit, I have to take care of Gaia's fiery temper, the Muse as the opposite sex always has some different ideas that I need to consider, Mirith doesn't like to tell me about his heart, I have to ask Stao specifically, Blake...... Don't talk about him. Now I still have to care about you, take care of you, and comfort you," Rey looked at him, "Maybe it's not like you, the strange ability of the curse is hard to control, but there are a lot of tedious things in the link...... It's heartburn too. ”

Listening to Rey's words, Cassius hung his shoulders a little frustratedly, "I understand the captain, many things in the league are also troublesome. He looked up at his palms and sighed, "I'm just...... I don't want to trouble you anymore. ”

Rey was stunned, turned his head and stared at him for a few seconds, grabbed his wrists with both hands, and suddenly became emotional, "Are you going to leave too, Blake is gone?" ”

Cassius naturally thought of Blake's departure...... Presumably Rey has a psychological shadow in this regard.

"When, of course not!" He was stunned for a moment and explained in a hurry, "I just think that sometimes my curse power ...... It's going to cause you trouble. ”

"No, no, don't leave War-Alliance......" Rey took a deep breath and tried to calm down, Blake's departure seemed to have affected him a bit severely. He slowly let go of Cassius' wrist and leaned his forehead against the railing with one hand a little decadent, "...... Loss. ”

“…… I'm not leaving. Cassius was silent for a moment, and then spoke again with some firmness.

Rey slowly squatted down and looked very lonely, and suddenly lost his usual handsome captain's style. He held his head in his hands, "That's what Blake promised...... There are some things about you two that are really similar. "He couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of some things in the past," ...... I'm just a little tired, don't worry about me. ”

“…… Blake will be back too. Cassius paused for a moment to speak, though he didn't quite understand where he came from, so sure he would come back. He leaned over and patted Rey on the shoulder, "Definitely." ”

Reion looked up at him, slowly curling the corners of his mouth. "You know him so well. Definitely. He slowly stood up against the wall and looked at the few stars in the distance, "It will definitely be." ”

Cassius chuckled and moved closer to him, reaching out to hug him. "After all, you have to have a little hope for the future, Captain."

"Yes, yes. I feel much better after chatting with you. Rey patted him on the back.

The next morning, Cassius left the Cell, looking for something to eat on the Sea Star—not wanting to eat the Cell's elven cookies.

He meets a little Bell.

"Hello, big brother!" Bell was welcoming.

"Hello...... Cassius scratched his head, "I'm alien." Do you have anything to eat here? ”

"Yes, yes!" Bell began to gush on and on about the good food.

"Ah, what about the easier ones to get?" Cassius looked at him happily.

"There's a fruit that's delicious," Bell bouncing, "and it grows in these places......

After exchanging for a while, Bell blinked, "What's your name, big brother?" ”

"I'm Cassius of the God of War Alliance." Cassius showed off slightly.

Bell frowned.

Cassius realized something was wrong, "What's wrong. ”

"Cassius? Is it Cassius, the adopted son of the pirate lackey Divert? He snorted disdainfully and looked at Cassius, "That's what it looks like." He staggered away and jumped into the sea not far away.

Cassius froze, watching him disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye.

“…… What ......"

Broken childhood memories flashed intermittently before my eyes.

Cassius' tears welled up, "How did he know that I followed Devotte when I was a child!" All of a sudden, he seemed to be the little black Katz who had been spurned by the spirit...... He "plopped" and knelt on the sand by the sea, covered his face and cried.

——————————————————————————————

"The elves said that Ni Bing told them this." Rey patted Cassius on the shoulder.

"Isn't Neon Ice Blake!" Cassius' eyes were red, "I've only told Blake about that!" ”

"He may just accidentally say that he missed ......" "If you accidentally say something missing, there will be so many elves who know!"

Cassius was extremely aggrieved, "Almost all of Pano needs to know!" …… They don't like me anymore! Blake: He said he would protect my secret, why did he break his word! …… Recently, he has been rumored to be a black soul! ”

"Ah...... Maybe someone else knows and leaks the secret, and then plants the pot to 'Ni Bing'......" "No way, I just told Blake!" ”

"Calm down, Cassius." Rey frowned, "Now that it's happened...... You just stay on the Sail and don't wander around. All right? ”

"Blake, his own reputation is bad, and he wants to pull me along, what a motive! I was so mistaken about him! Cassius fell on the table and began to cry.

Rey patted him on the shoulder, "Calm down, calm down." Although I can't understand your mood very well, I must be calm and ......"

……

"He hid in the house and cried all afternoon." Yumina pinched her waist with one hand.

An Liang blinked, "Glaio, will he be able to listen to you, more?" You go and see him...... Don't be angry. ”

"Cassius," Gleo knocked on the door, "and he's out to dinner." Today's food was good. ”

"I don't want to eat anything." Cassius said sullenly.

"There's a cream cake, Sai Xiaoxi and they went to the crack to do the task, and they brought it to you!" Gleo's tone was slightly seductive, "Really, Cassius! ”

"I don't want to eat." Cassius's tone didn't change a bit.

"Don't do that," Greo knocked on the door again, "sweets can make you feel better." ”

Cassius didn't answer.

"Well, don't eat if you don't want to," Ellandi patted Gléo on the shoulder, "Go in and stay with him." It might be better to have a chat with him and divert your attention. ”

Greo puffed out his cheeks and shrugged his shoulders.

——————————————————————————

Blake sat on the beach with his legs immersed in the seawater, eating a sour wild fruit, "Do you feel like this in Linghai Lake?" ”

"You can't guess how cold the water of Linghai Lake is." Zaichen closed his eyes and leaned against the wall with his arms folded, "I will know if I feel it for myself." ”

"It's unpalatable." Blake sighed, picked up a handful of seawater and put it in his mouth, and then spit it out.

"The ocean is full of sea, and it's not easy to find food on land. Water is also an issue. "I opened my eyes in the dust, "What does the sea taste like?" ”

"Weird. Not salty. Blake pursed his lower lip, "Bitter ......"

"Let me taste it for myself." In the dust means that you want to control the body for a while.

Blake acquiesced.

"The water of the Ocean Star is so warm at night." Zaichen sighed, picked up a handful of water and put it into his mouth.

Then repeat what Blake had just done.

"It's hard to describe." In the dust wiped his mouth.

"Well, I don't even know what words to use...... "Can I dive?" "It doesn't matter."

Jaechen immersed his whole body in the seawater, and his long hair scattered in the water like black ink, "It feels quite comfortable." ”

"Hmm......" Blake was vaguely uneasy, some kind of sixth sense.
