"Then let's go! Without further ado! "I once again carry the dying dragon Shao." My friend doesn't look like it's going to last long. ”

She had no intention of acting. "Don't worry, your friend will be fine in a short time, we won't be able to leave until night."

"Why? Is it to hide from those fishmen? ”

"It has nothing to do with the fish-people this time." She explained. "If you're alone, I can fly you straight over, but now add your friend's weight. We need a boat. I'm going to steal the fishman's boat. ”

"Fishman's ship?" I wondered why I had just gotten rid of the fish-man to steal the fish-man's ship.

"During this time, the fish-people stole a lot of your human steamboats, and then converted them into fish-man ships. These fish-man ships were all used to attack our islands, and they contain enough fuel that your human ships alone will not have enough fuel to sustain a long voyage. She pointed out the window to the ferry next to May Fourth Square. The boats were parked there, and when it was late at night we were going to steal one. ”

I glanced in the direction of her finger and couldn't see a single ship.

"But I can't see anything?" I said dumbfoundedly, thinking that I had bad eyes.

"You'll find out then."

We couldn't do anything during the day, and we wanted to go out to get some wind and were afraid that we would be chased by the fishmen again, so we had to pace back and forth in her room.

The old books on her desk piqued my interest. The paper was yellow, and it felt like it would break with a little force, and the book cover was worn beyond recognition, and three traditional Chinese characters "Torishima Zhi" could be faintly seen on it.

As soon as I tried to open it, she ran to stop me. "Sir, this is the collection of books on our island, which is very obscure and complicated, so it is better not to read them."

Their clan's collection of books, but Torishima Chronicles, these are three distinct Chinese characters?

"But this looks like a Chinese book."

She nodded. "This set of books was compiled by a human who drifted to our island many years ago and my mother, although some of them are in Chinese, but the content included is all the collections of our Bird Island, and Chinese is more of a translation. The reason why I don't want you to see it is because there's a secret hidden inside. A secret that our people have been unable to crack for thousands of years. ”

Secret! It's a secret again, and Yuge has been a secret all over his life from beginning to end.

"It can't be a treasure map." I said it casually.

"It's a spell written in Chinese, and my mother asked me to come here with an important task, which is to learn Chinese and crack the spell in this book as soon as possible, and learning this spell is enough to destroy the fish-people without much effort." The more she spoke, the more excited she became.

"Miss Yuge, your words make me more and more confused. You once told me that your island has never communicated with humans, but how can there be books written by humans, how can there be mantras written in Chinese, and how can you speak Chinese so fluently? "I hit her like a cannonball.

Because I could feel that Yu Ge was hiding a lot of things about their clan from me.

Their people are not as isolated as she says they are.

"I ...... Actually, I don't understand our ...... Don't ask me. Yu Ge's eyes began to avoid me. When you go to the island, you will naturally understand many things, so don't ask again. ”

Since she said so, I naturally don't feel sorry for her anymore, in fact, the story of their clan has nothing to do with me, but now I have to sail to their island, if I don't understand it at all, it will inevitably make people sleep.

But I still choose to believe her.

Time ticked by, the night fell little by little, and finally stayed up late at night.

I carried Long Shao, who had been in a coma for a long time, and followed Yuge's footsteps, walked downstairs, and came to the long-lost May Fourth Square.

A deep gray shrouded the place, and there was no one here tonight, except for the fountain spitting out the spring alone, and the seagulls in the sky flying in from time to time, neighing a few times, telling us that there was life even in the middle of the night.

She suddenly took my hand. "Slow down, follow me, we're on board."

I looked around and there was nothing but empty water.

"The three of us should make this little motorboat in case we startle the snake." She reached out and pointed to me in the ocean.

"Girl, I don't know if it's because I have bad eyes? Why can't I see anything? "I looked at the sea repeatedly, and all I could see was the rolling white waves and the seaweed swaying underneath.

"If you can't see it's normal, just follow me."

As she spoke, she took another step forward, and was about to step into the water.

I hurriedly pulled her back. "Girl? Are you going to jump into the sea like this? ”

She didn't answer anything, didn't pause for a moment, and walked briskly towards the sea ahead.

As a result, she was suspended in the air at a height of one meter, and I could see it very clearly, she really stepped on the air.

"Here's how it was done."

She dragged me forward with all her might. "Don't be afraid, don't look down, just follow me."

I gritted my teeth and stepped towards the sea, only to step on something that looked like an iron plate.

"It's really a boat!" I slowly realized that we were already on the deck. Solid support underfoot. "It's amazing."

"You're so rare and weird, these are just a little trick of the fish-people, first painting your human ship with paint, and then using a spell to create a cloud of water vapor, giving people the illusion of the sea." Yu Ge said it lightly, but I still sounded foggy. "When the ship leaves the sea, out of the moisture, you will find that it is no different from a normal ship."

"Each goblin has its own way of camouflage, and our clan's camouflage is even more clever than theirs, and our entire island is a big camouflage." Yu Ge said proudly. "That's why the fish-people have been slow to attack us, they can't find the exact location of our island."

"Huh? Girl, I don't understand. ”

"Actually, our island itself is an island that is constantly floating, changing its position every day, and it takes all the specific methods to find its way." Yu Ge said as he walked towards the shore.

"Where are you going?"

"Just wait for me on the boat, I'm going to find the right place for our long journey."

She slowly walked to the emblematic sculpture of May Fourth Square, beneath the wind of May. The sculpture in the night is like a whirling hurricane and like a scorching flame.

Yu Ge stood below, his white clothes fluttering, his figure swaying in the moonlight, accompanied by the breeze, and his mouth recited a spell again.

“whakaatu ahau te ara！”

The red sculpture suddenly moved, turning into a red ribbon, flying in the wind, and a gust of wind came from behind, blowing the ribbon in a fixed direction, and the tail of the ribbon pointed to the vast starry sky.

"Liu Quan, do you look at the stars? Let's see which star this sculpture points to? Yu Ge shouted at me under the statue.

I looked up at the night sky, and the stars were shining brightly, and it seemed that such a clear night sky had long since fallen out of this era. When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and my grandmother often took me to look at the stars to see what happened recently, and sometimes it was really accurate. Therefore, I also know a little about the 28 stars in the sky, in fact, many times, everyone's fate and the stars in the sky have already decided for you.

I followed the guidance of the red ribbon to observe the stars in the sky, all kinds of stars in full view, it clearly pointed to the location of the Suzaku Seven Nakshatras, to be precise, the well star of the seven nakshatras, it weaved an obvious network in the night sky, the well star represents the deepest bottomless ocean, it seems to have coincided with our voyage.

"Yuge! It's the Pleiades! ”

"Hmmm! That's right, let's head towards the Pleiades, and we can reach Bird Island tomorrow morning. Yu Ge stopped casting the spell and ran quickly back to the boat.

"Don't worry, this ship has been infused with mana by the fish-man, as long as you adjust the steering wheel, it can automatically move forward."

Yu Ge said this, I did feel a little more settled, I sat on the deck and looked into the distance, the sea level was endless, the starry sky and the sea were like two watercolors of the same color, inadvertently blending with each other, rendering the world extremely blurry and dreamy, the vast ocean seemed to be only the two of us, except for the low murmur of the sea, I couldn't hear anything, and all kinds of unhappy things in my heart were washed away with the sea.

The sea breeze was blowing on my face, with a slight coolness, and I closed my eyes and enjoyed this rare comfort.

She leaned gently on my shoulder, already asleep.
