The three of them looked at each other, and then Avis carefully removed the contents of the trollet box and gently brushed the dust off it.

"Ann! Frank! He called out hurriedly.

"Huh? We seem to have a ...... about this," Frank, who was interested in eating and fighting, looked at the things in Avis's hand, scratching his head and thinking hard.

And An Ningning was completely surprised.

Because they would never have imagined that the third token of the Overlord of the Sea of the South China Sea, which they had been looking for, would be on this statue of the Holy Maiden!

Avis quickly clenched his fists in an alert manner, looked around cautiously, and then put the token into his pocket and closed the charm box again.

"Avis......" she was a little tangled.

"Don't worry, woman." Avis said unhurriedly, "They only care about the statue of the Holy Maiden, and they don't even know that there are tokens in the ornament box, and I am afraid they don't know how to use them." It's a big deal, and we'll just give them back when we're done with it. ”

"This can be repaid." She couldn't laugh or cry.

"I've studied it carefully before, the lines behind the token are actually maps, let's go back and put the tokens together, and we'll find the real token of the Overlord of the Sea in the South Sea. So—" he shrugged his shoulders and patted his pocket, "it won't be a big deal to give them back this map then." ”

"Maybe—this is the truth about the slaughter of the village!" Avis suddenly realized, "I wonder why Heinrich would send so many people to such a remote island slaughterhouse where there is no benefit, he must know that there are tokens of the South China Sea here!" ”

Will that be the case?

The girl didn't speak.

She remembered Heinrich's taunt of Noah, and she remembered Heinrich's cleanness when he finally left.

If a person who aspires to become the overlord of the sea, especially Heinrich, will fight endlessly, how can he simply give up?

She always felt that Heinrich was really here to vent his anger.

But where does this anger come from?

She unconsciously moved her gaze to the statue again, and the warm sunlight shone on the stone statue, making the girl's pale golden hair softer and more like an angel.

Suddenly, she was shocked.

Just because.

The statue of the Holy Maiden is four or five points similar to Noah!

……

She returned to the ship with a heavy heart, and Avis only thought that she was tired and didn't care much to let her rest, while he excitedly took out the tokens he had collected before, and prepared to compare them with Noah.

They have already decided, and after the supplies are replenished in the next stop city, they will look for the final token of the South China Sea!

The moonlight is like water, and the sea is full of fog.

On the deck, tall men and graceful women stood opposite each other.

"Come back—" Hathaway's eyebrows were affectionate, she walked around the man's back, her white arms gently resting on his shoulders and pressing them up, her red lips whispering in her ear, "I'll always be by your side, Noah." ”

"Jennifer." The man's tone was a little cold.

"Noah, you're angry." Jennifer Hathaway curled her lips and smiled, "Look, I remember the way you got angry. She let go of her hand and came back to look at him with a pure and bewitching smile, "It's been so long, you and I have grown up, I can still remember." So—"

"Noah, you won't forget it, will you?"

"What if you forget or not, it's long gone." Noah looked at her calmly, "Just like the noble Miss Hathaway in the Marquis's family at the beginning, now she has also become a Rose Girl, what's the point of remembering the past?" ”

"Huh." Hathaway covered her lips and smiled, not annoyed, "Of course it makes sense, Noah, don't deny it-"

"Because I know that you can't forget what you have become after the past."

"Jennifer, you're too confident." The man's expression was pale.

"Noah." Hathaway ruffled her hair, "Heinrich got you, right?" How far can you escape if you want to? You can't get rid of it, this is your mission, and this is our destiny. Noah. ”

"Come back, we're all here, my father, and the dukes, the marquises, as long as you will—"

"Hathaway!" Noah had a rare look in his eyes.

But the girl was completely unmoved, she took his arm, and drew close to him, softly and charmingly, "Is it because of her?" ”

"But have you thought about it, she doesn't know you at all, and your companions don't know you at all—if they knew who you are—the source of the pain of youth—would they still accept you?"

There was deep pain and struggle in the man's blue eyes, and Hathaway, who noticed that he was a little shaken, smiled lightly and continued to say softly, "But we are different, Noah, we all know each other, they won't need you, but we need you, and you, will need us-"

As she spoke, her red lips kissed lightly on the man's face.

From a distance, the men and women kissing in the moonlight were so beautiful and quiet that Avis, who was hurriedly looking for them, subconsciously hid behind the wall of the ship as if he had bumpered into some secret.

……

In the past few days, the more An Ning thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She recounted her memories of her time in the Eastern Continent, and it always seemed as if Noah and Heinrich had known each other before—long before Ives and them had escaped.

And, the inexplicable words that Heinrich said while on the island.

They talked about Noah's mother.

The angry slaughter, the hidden statue of the Virgin, the eccentricity of Noah's emotions......

Could it be that the statue of the Holy Maiden was originally painted with Noah's mother?

Although Heinrich's words are well concealed, she can still detect his hatred for Noah's mother; Noah didn't know that there was a statue of the Virgin on this island, and Heinrich initially thought that he had come for this - that's why, after discovering that this was not the case, he showed such a stunned expression, and then said disdainfully-

"Could this connection be so deep?"

This connection......

If she understands correctly, what Heinrich is talking about is the blood connection between mother and son?!

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she always felt that she was thinking too much, like a fantasy that made people feel a little less real. However, when she matched the plot of these speculations, she found that the details matched shockingly.

Aware of such a secret, she had a lot of doubts and worries, but she didn't know who to share and talk about all this, and at such a time, a major event happened that caused a sensation in the Southern Continent.

- Heinrich has gone to war in the South China Sea!
