The coastline under the blue sky looks vast and bright, the beach is covered with crawling and stationary red and brown crabs, the sea is high in the sky and white birds, occasionally a few land on the reef to comb their feathers, and there is no fear of life in the face of ships approaching.

Not far from the beach is a grassy barren area, and at the top of the area stands rows of pale and ancient bones, the bones of Naga, or the Hall of the Grey Sea King, as the Iron People call them.

The Iron Islands are a place of strife, but in the northwest corner of Old Wake Island, the area remains quiet.

In ancient times, under the ribs of Naga was the place where generations of kings of the Iron Islands were crowned and selected.

Not long ago, when the Iron Islands rebelled against the Baratheon dynasty, the new king of the Iron Islands, Baron. Greyjoy was also crowned with a crown of driftwood and called on all the Iron Folk to wage war.

Just as this beach is called the Sacred Coast, this place is a very sacred place in the hearts of countless iron people, and right now, Lan Li, the "sacred" son of the drowning god, has arrived here.

A small gray-green-blue robe looked quite loose and free on him, and holding a black driftwood stick also made this beautiful long-haired black boy have a much more solemn temperament.

When he got out of the boat, he was followed by a crowd of drowning people, and behind him there were other boats docked one after another, unloading some food and supplies needed to set up camp.

At this time, the climate has basically entered winter, although there is no snow, but the temperature on the beach is still not warm, and the breath exhaled is a little white when walking on the soft sand.

Kicking away a red-shelled crab in the way, his eyes scanning everything in front of him, Lan Li finally looked at the pale ribs on the top of the hill not far away, only to feel that this place seemed to have not changed much in nearly three hundred years.

He sighed a little at this, but a soft greeting suddenly came from behind him.

"Miko-sama has been here?"

"I haven't been here." Lan Li replied angrily.

"They say you're from Old Wake Island?" The man behind him asked again.

Lan Li glanced at the person who was asking, and didn't want to talk to him.

This man's name is Ryan, he has a very ordinary pointed face, the usual black hair of the iron people, he wears a drowning robe that is quite loose, and his height is not short, so he looks very thin overall.

He is the one who dived and ran to "rescue" Lan Li last night, because of his "meritorious escort", at this time, he had been arranged by the leader to protect Lan Li, the son of God.

Lan Li hates this person very much, but he can't show it too obviously, after all, this person is also his "life-saving benefactor", but he doesn't want to answer the question of his origin.

So he changed the subject: "How long are we going to stay here?" ”

"After all the drowning people in the archipelago have been gathered." The lanky Ryan replied, "Salt Tongue and Lord Zhuogu have announced your identity. ”

Lan Li nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask much of the question, his eyes turned to look at the distant hills again.

Salt Tongue and Zhuo Gu are the two leaders of these drowned people around, Salt Tongue is the old drowned man with long gray hair and Taler, who has more than 50 local drowned people to follow, and Zhuo Gu is a relatively young drowned man, from more than 200 years ago, is the leader of the group of more than 30 ancient drowned people.

These two people are considered by Lan Li to be complete careerists, and they want to rely on his identity as a "god son" to work together to condense the entire submerged class of the archipelago into a rope.

Lan Li didn't know much about what they wanted to do after that, but he could see exactly what they were doing right now - they were beckoning people to set up camp on the beach.

The flooded people, dressed in coarse cloth robes of gray, green and blue, looked rather thin in winter, but none of them seemed to feel cold, and they were all dry and hot, and they were building simple wooden huts and tents out of some driftwood collected at sea.

This kind of thing obviously didn't need Lan Li to wait here, and he decided to go to the place where Nanaga's bones were—

He hadn't forgotten that the bones actually had a special effect, and he was also curious about whether they had other effects.

No one stopped him, but seven or eight drowned people followed him behind his ass, protecting him anytime and anywhere.

After the kidnapping, the drowning people immediately transported the boy to the location of Old Wake Island, and sent enough men to follow his ass, and strictly scrutinized everyone he met, making Lan Li feel like he was cocooned.

However, by this time, his mentality had changed, or he was not too worried about escaping.

Because he learned about something this morning when he touched his wrist marker, and this matter directly solved the problem of the ship that plagued Lan Li abruptly, but this matter still needs to wait for a while, and at the same time......

Thinking absentmindedly, a crisp word suddenly came and interrupted his thoughts.

"You're the son of the Drowning God?"

It seemed to be a little girl's voice, and when she looked up, Lan Li found that there were two children standing there at the end of the beach, brown and black hair, black eyes, a man and a woman.

The boy was a little shorter, the girl was taller, and now the two were looking curiously at him.

It's not a small amount of courage.

Lan Li thought to herself, nodded at the two children, and prepared to continue walking without paying much attention to it, but the girl's next sentence made Lan Li couldn't help but look at her more.

"You're so beautiful!"

"Thanks, you're too-"

"Can you marry me? I want to marry you. ”

These words made many people who followed behind Lan Li stunned, and one of them even stepped forward to reprimand him severely, Lan Li laughed at this, feeling that children or something was really interesting, so he waved his hand and left directly without thinking.

"How can this be called nonsense?" The girl's shouting continued: "A man can marry a woman, why can't a woman marry a man?" ”

"Come on, old man, are you going to beat me?"

"Don't drag me Theon, why are you so daring?"

……

Theon?

Lan Li thought to himself, wasn't that boy the poor eunuch before?

I calculate it, and it seems that the age is almost the same......

He didn't think much about it, because as he kept advancing, the flooded people scattered throughout the coastline around him all bowed to him as they passed by, and some even knelt on the ground with fanatical faces, making Lan Li uncomfortable for a while.

However, during this period of his career as a god, he is quite familiar with this, or he has been able to turn a blind eye, occasionally nodding or waving his hand, and more often ignoring it directly, and no one cares much about it.

And when he moved away from the shoreline, these people were basically gone.

The road in the area where Naga Hill is located is not smooth, and as you go, the ground slowly rises upward, full of gravel and wild grass, and it is not easy to walk, but the advantage of carrying a stick in your hand is that you don't have to worry too much about slipping under your feet and falling or tripping.

A group of drowning people guarded Lan Li, and finally managed to reach the bottom of Naga's bones on the hill.

With his feet on the hard rocky ground, the shadows cast by the rows of ribs above his head, and his head looking up at the pale and ancient bones in the sun, Lan Li couldn't help but think back to the last time he was here.

Time was tight, and I didn't have much time to keep an eye on this place, and now—

The thoughts in his heart stopped abruptly, the surrounding environment seemed to become a little hazy all of a sudden, even the sunlight in the sky was also in a trance, and his heartbeat suddenly intensified at this moment, so that Lan Li couldn't help but cover his chest, and then he looked up blankly and looked around, only to feel dizzy, and the blood flow in his body was getting faster and faster......

Faintly, he seemed to hear a vast roar from the depths of the sea.
