George was depressed, and for three whole days, he pulled his face and didn't say a word.

During the day, Duck woke him up and saw him lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. At night, I told him to sleep and saw him sitting in the snow, staring at the stars.

Shaqi fell ill and, according to George, he contracted a terminal illness called "radiation sickness".

George picked a pick, and the Cult of the Dark God at Bagpipe Castle almost ceased. If it weren't for Lady Alexia's efforts, the plan to retrieve the Ice Slime would have been stillborn.

Everyone took turns to persuade him.

Isabella went into battle first: "The Jagenk fleet underestimated the enemy, got into the ambush circle of the North Sea Monster, and was penetrated through the bottom of the ship by the assault bayonet screw, and suffered heavy casualties;

"What's my business. ”

The second is Riley: "Ramos has brought a letter from the Spider Empress Enya from New Tenotilan asking about the direction of your local Dark God branch-"

George didn't even raise his head: "Autobiography, self-management, self-support." ”

"Uh, okay. ”

Even Lady Alexia didn't have a point: "Joe, you are like this, your friend's illness will be cured?"

"I'm sorry, Female Pony. However, no matter what he did, he could not get better, and radiation sickness was a terminal illness. ”

"If you can be more detailed, maybe I can help......"

"I'm not in the mood right now, you read my memory. ”

"No, Joe, I'm not going to do that!"

George smiled miserably and turned his head away from talking.

Lady Alexia sighed and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, I ran into Duck.

"How?" Darker asked.

She shook her head.

Duck smiled bitterly: "I'm a little unhappy, you see, I've been playing with him several times, and I've never seen him feel so deep for me." How did they come up with this friendship?"

Lady Alexia said, "Because he sees his own shadow in Shaqi." ”

Duck was stunned for a moment: "Are they similar? Why do I think it's the opposite?"

"I think it's better to calm him down, he is very vigilant now, and he can't touch the inner communication, so he can only make this mental defense stronger and stronger. ”

"But we don't have much time to waste, we've been delayed for two days – what if we had Shaqi come and talk to him?"

"No, he has a lot of mood swings when he faces Shaqi, and besides, Shaqi is not a good talker. Maybe you won't be able to get the word right, and the more you depict it, the darker it becomes. Besides, he can't stand up anymore, that strange disease is even more fierce than he imagined, and once he gets past the incubation period, he is simply a beast that devours flesh and blood. ”

Dark's brow furrowed, "That's a problem...... I think we need to have a good talk with Shaqi - Riley, why are you here?"

Riley hurried over: "Brother, Lady Alexia, old Mr. Valentine of Red Coral has come and said that she wants us to persuade Georgina to go home, she has not been back for three days. ”

Duck was stunned: "How could it be? I watched her go back in the carriage the night before?"

But she didn't, and went home for a walk and left. Mr. Valentine was in a hurry. ”

Lady Alexia immediately said: "In this way, Riley, you go and let Miss Isabella sit with the old gentleman for a while and chat, and I will arrange for someone to look for her in the merchant house, maybe she can't let George go and hides......"

Without saying a word, Isabella ran over with a nervous expression: "Oh no, no, Miss Georgina...... Ran away from home and she left us this!"

It was a note with just one line on it: "I'm going to find a way to cheer George up." ”

"Duck, where is she going?"

Duck stomped his foot hard, "Where else can I go? Of course it's the ruins of Atalantis! she's looking for a way to save Shaqi!"

"Huh?

"She must be stopped before she enters the ruins. Riley, you immediately go to Chayagenk to get information on the nearest ships and airships to the ruins of Atalantis, and Isabella, you go to check the commissions of the Jagenk Mercenary Guild for the last three days, the long-distance magic hedron transportation and escort mission. After listening to Shaqi's words, she will definitely be ready, she will definitely leave clues, and the rest is to fight for speed!"

The two girls took the order, and Duck said indignantly, "This is really a disaster! Lady Alexia, I have one more important matter to ask you. ”

"Speak. ”

"As for the main fleet of New Tenotiran, this time they came uninvited, not necessarily with good intentions - twelve warships! If it were all cutting-edge warships like the Toslo and the Pagziano, it would be enough to destroy the country! It was Ramos who was leading the team again, and George would definitely not be able to come forward in his current state, and I was afraid that my prestige alone would not be able to suppress him. ”

"I think their purpose is likely to be an excellent weapon-carrying platform like the North Sea Monster. This had a huge impact on the sea power of Nuevo Tenotirán. Do you want me to keep an eye on him?"

"Yes. If he strikes at Jagenk suddenly, I hope you will suppress him. ”

"Okay, then, what are you going to do?"

"The priority is to get Georgina back. If she had three longs and two shorts, we wouldn't be able to stay here. If it really doesn't work......"

"How?"

"Abandon the North Sea and go back to Alcatraz. As soon as the Ice Slime is in hand, our main mission is complete. If we're doomed to lose Shaqi, there's no way around it, at least, we can't let George fall. ”

"Go ahead, I'm here. If you need anything, just tell me. Stay in touch at all times, and besides, Dark, I'll tell you a secret, no matter where you go, as long as there are magical fluctuations, you don't need to use the communication tower as a relay station to contact me at any time - all the ways to transmit information using fluctuations as a carrier, for me, there are no secrets and obstacles. Also, the Atalantyan text, I know. ”

Darker was shocked: "You ......"

"It's okay, it's really beyond my imagination that you can accompany George so far. Dak, I believe that you will be able to change the world. I'm not going to sit idly by anymore – of course, all the important decisions are still up to you. ”

Duck knew that the lady in front of him was a master of mind magic, and if she was willing to help, her chances would be much better.

"Thank you for your help, please wait for my good news!"

Two hours later, Duck and Isabella embark on a journey to find Georgina.

The first stop on the tour is the Emerly Ice Shelf, the ice shelf that extends into the Sea of Frozen Souls, which is the northernmost point of human exploration. About 300 kilometers northwest of the floating islands of the Emory Ice Shelf, you will enter the Frozen Soul Sea, which is the starting point of Shaqi's exploration.
