Under the still bright sea sun, a rotting body covered in sticky green aquatic plants and wriggling maggots slowly floated out from under the water, blocking the path of the iron man's boat.

An oarsman at the bow of the boat was the first to spot it, at first he thought it was just a dead man's corpse floating out of nowhere, but when he lifted the oar to pull it away, he found that the face of the dead man lying on the surface of the sea suddenly moved a little, and then suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at himself with those empty and eyeless dark eyes!

"Ah——!h

The sudden fright made the paddle man turn pale in an instant, and the wooden paddle in his hand was also slammed on the rotten cheek by him as a weapon, but the other party not only did not suffer any damage, but grinned.

Seeing this, the oarsman screamed and turned and ran without hesitation.

It's just that the boat is not big, and there are still many people sitting on it, and he didn't move two steps at all, and then Iren got up when he heard the sound. Greyjoy stopped.

"Mulder, what are you mad about?"

"Dead man—dead man—there's a—" The oarsman replied in a trembling voice, but before he could finish speaking, another scream suddenly erupted from behind him, and one of the oarsmen in another boat not far away saw the situation, and even looked terrified.

Their reaction attracted the attention of all the iron people on the three small boats, and one by one they temporarily put down their work and ran to take a look, and then gasped one after another.

The strong sun overhead, but it couldn't dispel this sudden coldness, although the iron people were fierce and bloodthirsty, but it was only for the same kind, in the face of the rotting corpses that were obviously dead and could not die anymore, but their faces still reacted, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to gasp.

"Slow, slow down, let's leave quietly, yes, quietly, don't disturb it......"

The leader of the group, Elen, whispered, swallowing as he spoke, and the others nodded their heads busily in agreement, and then began to paddle covertly and hurriedly.

The three small boats slowly drifted away from the floating water, and everyone paddled and stared at the motionless corpse in fear, for fear of a sudden outburst.

Luckily, they weren't in any danger until they couldn't see the dead body behind them anymore.

One of the oarsmen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his companion with a happy face, "God of Drowning, thankfully we-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed that his companion's eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and he looked behind him as if he was full of horror, and at the same time, a sour and foul-smelling smell of decay gradually wafted from behind him, which made the oarsman chuckle in his heart, and then slowly turned his head to look.

He saw a face full of death, and now he was grinning at himself.

……

"Die!"

The roar at the bow of the ship was accompanied by the sound of axes chopping wood, and the two captives bound to the stern looked intently, and the murderous ironman with a large bald head was now clutching a short axe and slashing and kicking at a strange figure kneeling in front of him, slashing and shouting angrily at some inaudible words as he chopped.

His axe was very sharp, and after a few slashes, the head of the strange figure was cut off by him, but this did not seem to affect the "life" of the thing, and after the head fell off, the figure reached out and took it with both hands, and then the head in its hand grinned at the bald iron man again.

This seemed to cause the iron man to collapse, and after a shudder, the axe fell out of his hand unconsciously, and then he screamed and turned and pounced, and jumped into the sea with a pop.

The other people on the boat watched all this in a daze, and the iron people on the other two small boats also had the same expressions, at this moment, no one dared to move, but a smell of urine gradually diffused.

Until the rotting corpse without a head slowly "spoke" and said a word.

"Excuse me, how to get to Baiou Village?"

The hole-like mouth on his head opened and closed in his hands, making a sound like a sea monster breathing.

"Drowning God save me!" When an iron man heard this, he screamed and turned around and threw himself into the sea, and the other people on the ship did not hesitate to jump into the sea, and for a while the water splashed and the popping sound was endless, and finally only the leader Eren remained in the stern of the ship to guard the two captives, and trembled in response to the headless corpse that stepped on.

"No, I don't know! Go away, we don't know anything! ”

"Don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know, I don't know, we're all-" Ilyen replied tremblingly, but before he could finish speaking, a childish voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Excuse me, do you know Hal?"

The insertion of this voice made Yi Lun feel a sigh in his heart, but he didn't dare to look back, but he couldn't help but curse the troublemaker in his heart, but what happened next made him unconsciously stunned.

I saw the stenching headless corpse in front of him "turn" his head with his hand after hearing the boy's words, and there seemed to be a flash of blue light in his empty eyes.

"Hal...... Hal? ”

"That's right." The boy's voice continued to sound, obviously sounding so immature, but it suddenly calmed Elen's beating heart a lot.

"Do you know that Hal from the same village as you, who went out of the village to fight together?"

The headless corpse was silent when he heard this, and seemed to think about it, and then the head in his hands said hoarsely: "Of course, of course I know, he was personally sent to the palace of flowing water by the great King Rhodes, and I really envy him for having such a good life." ”

The message contained in the words made the boy feel that it was clear that the passage on his wrist was only connected to the world where Raya was, and the other party was only Jaspi on that timeline.

But at the same time, he also had another question.

"What about you, how did you die? Storm? ”

"The god of storms can't help the real iron."

The headless corpse hissed, and several maggots splattered from the opening and closing of the head in both hands, and landed on the opposite side of Elion's chest, but Elien didn't dare to act rashly, but stood in place dumbfounded, pretending that he didn't exist.

The people on the other two ships around them also stared at all of this with a blank stunt—the boy who was surprisingly bold, and the terrifying presence who could talk normally, and listening to the conversation between them, their fears dissipated a lot.

"Who killed you?" The boy continued.

"Who killed me? It was a madman, a madman in a white robe......" the headless corpse said hesitantly, but the "expression" on his face suddenly became very nervous, and even a piece of rotten skin fell off because of it.

"Oh, that's horrible, I don't want to—I must forget about her! That's right, I don't know anything, I don't know anything - child, child! Do you know how to get around Baiou Village? Do you know? ”

At the end of the sentence it shifted the subject, but now he seemed a little nervous compared to the initial question.

"On the west shore of Old Wake Island, south of the gravel fort, it's just a short walk away." The boy replied, "It's not easy to find, and no one has told you for so long that you asked, so it probably doesn't exist anymore." ”

"Doesn't exist?" These words made the headless corpse's voice suddenly raise a lot, and even the iron people who were listening around all raised their hearts to their throats again, but then they saw this strange thing sigh and their voices were depressed.

"Yes, more than 200 years have passed in a flash, and Baiou Village has long ceased to exist......

For some reason, it seemed to have changed from a terrifying and mysterious ghost to an old man in a hurry, and the head he was holding in his hands was also lifted by him and put it back on his neck, and after twisting it, the thing was very magically set back.

"I actually knew it for a long time, I just wanted someone to remember it......" He looked at Lan Li with empty eyes, and after half a ring, Yoyo said the last sentence.

"Kid, I smell the wrath of the storm god, you'd better leave sooner, yes, ...... early"

A wave came and flooded the boat, and when the spray subsided, the monster was gone.

The tension dissipated as the damp air filled the air, but no one spoke, and the ironmen who had jumped into the sea and ran to the other two ships looked at each other, and finally looked at the black-haired boy on the empty boat.

Nearest Iren. Greyjoy also turned to look at the boy leaning against the stern of the boat, feeling apprehensive and suspicious.

"Boy, how do you know those things?" His words were still violated.

"I read it in a book."

The boy replied, "Hal and Jaspi of Gulls are two Iron People pirates from Old Wake Island, whose ships have sailed to all the locations of the known world, plundered countless treasures, and buried them all on an unnamed island. ”

"That's it?" Eren asked incredulously.

"That's right," the boy nodded seriously, "I thought this story was made up by someone, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

"Where's that island?" The bald iron man who swam back because of the disappearance of the monster approached and asked, the horror on his face basically subsided, and a touch of greed appeared faintly.

"I don't know, I think the next time I see him, he might tell me."

Lan Li replied with a wink.

"Does the White Ou Village you said really exist?" Another Tiemin who came back from swimming hurriedly asked, "It doesn't seem to be far from my house." ”

"That's what the book says, I don't know if it exists, and I've never been to the Iron Islands."

"You...... Not scared at all? The gray-haired old ironman squinted and asked.

"I've heard of it."

The boy replied, "Many merchant ships have come across this Jaspi, but it never hurts." ”

"Ever heard? Why didn't you say it earlier!? ”

"None of you want to hear from me......"

……

In the end, the matter was settled.

After hollowing out the story that Lan Li "knew", the iron people no longer paid attention to this bold child, and instead began to talk about the dead man just now, and their faces were full of surprise, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

Only the silver-haired woman beside her looked at Lan Li suspiciously, feeling that he was lying.

After all, as a character from more than 200 years ago, she hadn't heard of anything like Hal and Jaspie, pirates and treasures.

It's just that the dead man can speak, and he seems to be able to control the sea, makes her full of shock for a while, and even thinks of her own gender issue, so she doesn't think much about it, and becomes a little lost and depressed.

Lan Li also ignored what the people around him thought of him, thinking back to everything the sea ghost said, his mind was very confused at this time.

White-robed madman, kill, her.

With such an obvious feature, he couldn't have thought of anything, but if it was really the case, she killed someone, then the so-called right way......

Although there had been speculations for a long time, being "confirmed" at this time still made Lan Li's heart feel like a big stone.

His complexion became a little cloudy as a result, and at last the boy looked up at the sky, which was cloudless, but he could not see anything about the Storm God.

It's just that since the monster said so......

Lan Li narrowed his eyes.

Originally, there was a dagger hidden in his sleeve, which he was going to use to cut rope at night, but now that he was not in a good mood, he had a better attention.
