Chapter 6 Stage ~ Ready! Actor ~ in place! (12)
The morning sun is rising, and the sea of glory is sprinkled with golden light.
Isshin Blue Sea stood alone on the deck of the "Sand Gull", which was probably the same place where he and the daughter of the hot spring hall chatted and played thirteen years ago. But in fact, the ship that the Lord of the Hot Springs Hall was on at that time was not the one under the feet of Yixin at the moment, but the old sand gull. The old ship was decommissioned five years ago due to the end of its useful life. The newly purchased ship continued to use the name of the old ship, with the mainsail embroidered with gold blades removed and continued.
The hull of the ship tossed among the waves, and the amulet on Ichixin's chest swayed slightly with the hull. He pulled the long drop box out of the collar of his linen shirt. The surface of the falling box is the amulet pattern that can be seen everywhere in the five islands - the eye of the gods, press the small clip at the bottom of the falling box, and the lid of the box is turned over. The box is filled with gum, and under the transparent gum is a white hyacinth with a golden stem. I admire the slightly rough handiwork of my childhood. He did not carefully smooth the petals before dehydration, so both petals were shattered, and he was careless in arranging the petals and calyxes, thus ruining the perfect flower shape, and the stem of the flower wrapped in a small piece of golden rope was a little crooked.
"Can the girl named Cheng Jiao recognize such a changed white jade golden cup?" Thinking with frustration in his heart.
The strange voyage and vague and strange memories guide Isshin Blue Sea on the road to Jinwuin. But in thirteen years, a lot has changed. Like the ship under his feet, the hyacinth in the falling box, and himself.
Yixin looked at his chubby hands, and even the backs of his hands were bulging with flesh, just like the rest of his body.
When he was five years old, he was a clever little boy who was loved by everyone, and now everything he likes has been drowned out by the fat on his body. Only his mother thinks he's good anywhere, and everyone else thinks he's just a fat stupid boy when they see him.
"It's an adventure for me, but she's the daughter of the hot springs! They are the people who stand at the top of the five islands and are closest to God! That kind of experience could probably be just ordinary for her. How could the daughter of the hot spring temple remember a child she met on a trip more than ten years ago? Even if she really remembered, wouldn't it be ridiculous for me to stand in front of her like this, holding up a broken box, and reminding her of the child's joking promise thirteen years ago?! It will destroy that memory! ”
Yixin was in a very bad mood, and he closed the lid of the falling box with a "snap".
And that's not the only thing that bothers him.
His unknown power seemed to be closely tied to the Mothwing Lake in his hometown, and after leaving home, he could no longer use that power freely. He had tried many times. For example, he had tried his best to attract the attention of the noisy seagulls not far from the bow, but the birds were just flying freely in the wind, and none of them approached him.
"What can I do with the various courses after I arrive at the Golden Crow Academy! I can't do anything like that! If there is an entrance exam......" He hammered the railing in frustration, not wanting to think any further.
Above him, the sails sewn with golden blades, blown by the sea breeze, were leading the Sand Gull towards a small island ahead. That island is called Blue Island. The route from Lingshen Island to Helios Island is dotted with many small islands, and Blue Island is just one of them. According to Fei Luo Blue Sea's instructions, the Sand Gull will dock on Blue Island and rest for a day to avoid the storm that will blow at noon today.
Today is the day before the Turning Day, and the Lord of the Hot Spring Hall, the Golden Leaf Shrine Maiden, will pray for rain for the Goto Island at noon today.
The "Sand Gull" sailed lightly through the waves, and soon the outline of the Blue Island Bay unfolded in front of you. At this moment, Yixin saw a sloop about half a nautical mile away, a sloop appeared, apparently fresh out of the Blue Island. The boat was not big, because of the headwind, so the sails were folded, and there were ten oars on the left and right sides, which were sliding neatly.
As the distance between the two ships became smaller and smaller, Yixin was able to see more details.
The 20-oars sloop was quite old, with many signs of repair visible on the hull, and the barnacles attached to the hull had not been cleaned. Not only that, but when the two ships passed by, they noticed that the waterline on the side of the hull was high and low, which was caused by the overloading of the cargo.
The hull of the ship is painted with the headdress of Neptune, the god of the sea, a golden crown covered in seaweed, which is supposed to be from Poseidon Island.
"This ship has been sailing for at least four or five days, and it shouldn't have gone out to sea against the wind today. Haven't they heard the news that Lord Onsen is going to pray for rain at noon today? ”
Looking at the way the ship swung its oars, I couldn't help but worry about its fate.
