Three days later, when the first white line was revealed on the horizon, Gao Qian knew that the Horror had finally left the North Pole. The polar night will get shorter and shorter, and the day will gradually approach.

The ice floes on the surface of the sea were noticeably less dense than before, and the speed of the whale god was also faster, and the waves dragged a wide track in the stern of the ship.

Jiajia pointed to the pale white sun on the horizon, screaming and jumping happily. The Eyeless Spirit stood at the bow of the beast like a black flagpole, and the Horror Horn galloped south against the sea breeze.

In the next few days, the days flew by, and from time to time you could see huge sea beasts on the surface of the sea, huge tentacles waving from the sea, unknown deep-sea sea monsters creating dense and huge whirlpools on the sea, and the humanoid creatures that rolled in the waves and chased the hull.

As the land approached, he saw more and more wrecked ships, even twisted steel warships, and when the first seabird landed on the side of the Horror, Jiajia was so frightened that she hid behind the high diver.

The seabird had a crow-black head, a long, sharp beak, and gray speckled wings with claws. As its scarlet eyes stared at the high dive, its sharp claws carved into the boat, bringing down a piece of wood with a lift of its claws.

Gao Qian picked up the axe on the side and chopped it down. The seabirds hissed sharply and flapped their wings, but refused to fly away, but circled on the mast.

The Eyeless Spirit had come to the front at some point and spoke.

Jiajia pulled Gao Qian's arm: "Big brother, Lu Mengge said, that's a delirium bird, it's a cursed sea soul, big brother better not to mess with them, being bitten by them will hurt the soul." ”

Gao Qian frowned: "Are there a lot of such things?"

"Delirium birds are always near shipwrecks, and they can't get too far from them. ”

High Diver is once again aware that the human world has changed.

The land finally came into view. Gao Dive jumped out of the water and untied the chains of the whale god. The whale god stared at the high dive with ice-blue eyes and let out a long roar.

"You've done me a favor, I'll remember. "High submersible channel.

The whale god slowly turned his huge body and swam towards the depths of the ocean.

Gao Qian lowered the boat on the Horror into the water, took Jiajia wrapped in fur to the boat, and rowed to land. The Eyeless Spirit followed, standing at the bow of the boat, facing the land.

"The Horror is gone. Jiajia said when she looked back.

Gao Qian turned his head to look, and he could still see the shadow of the Horror, the ancient three-masted sail drifting farther and farther away with the waves, maybe it would hit a piece of ice floe and sink completely, or it could become a sea monster's toy and be torn to pieces. Either way, the wreck, encased in the iceberg, has fulfilled its mission, and with Franklin's real death, it has returned to where it was supposed to be.

A shallow shore where you can see cooking smoke has come ashore. This is the inner side of a lagoon, and the water appears clear and icy blue near the shore. The shore was still covered with snow and ice, and several large, colorful tents were set up on high places, and smoke was rising from the rooftops of the tents.

As the dive towed the boat ashore, he saw people running out of the tent, and then more people came out of the tent, men and women, most of them dressed in fur like the Aborigines.

Gao Qian looked back at Jiajia and the Eyeless Spirit.

Jiajia looked more curious than cramped, and there was never any expression on her eyesless face.

Gao Qian took Jiajia's hand, a smile on his face, and walked towards the group.

"Hey," the high dive greeted in English, "our boat is wrecked, where is this?"

A tall man with a big beard walked out of the crowd, he looked at Gao Qian, his eyes paused on Jiajia, and then looked at the Eyeless Spirit.

In the end, he set his eyes on Gao Qian's body, and said in English that Gao Qian barely understood: "This place still belongs to the Ila Temple, if you are a wandering god, according to the rules, you must go to the temple to report first." If you want to erect your own hill and build your own temple, then continue to the east, and I heard that there are still several places where there are no temples of gods. ”

"Ila Temple?"

"Ira is the master of this place, the deity of this place, and all of us are to serve her. The bearded man glanced at Jiajia: "She's also a god?"

"No, she's human, and like you, I'm not a god, I'm just not afraid of the cold. The high dive explained why he didn't have to wear fur.

And the Eyeless Spirit didn't need to be explained by Gao Qian, everyone could see at a glance that he was not human at all.

The bearded man nodded: "Since it's human, let's go into the tent and warm up, come on, little girl, Runa has boiled a big pot of fish soup, enough for all of us to eat." ”

The high dive looked at the other residents, most of whom had a good-natured smile on their faces. The crowd dispersed after seeing the bearded man lead the three high divers into a blue tent.

In the tent, the bearded man reintroduced himself. His name is Hansen, and he is the head of this village, and his wife Luna is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with red cheeks and braided blonde hair, believing that when she was young, she must also be a beauty.

The tent had a low wooden table and a stove burning wood, and the tent was divided into two parts, the front and back, the back half of which was supposed to be their bedroom.

The Eyeless Spirit stood in the corner of the tent and poked a bulge out of it.

After beckoning Gao Qian and Jiajia to sit down at the table, Hansen beckoned to the Eyeless Spirit, "Hey, come and sit, God, I don't want a big hole in my tent." It's been a bad year this year. ”

The eyes did not move.

Hansen's face was a little ugly.

Gao Qian looked back at the Eyeless Spirit, who slowly approached and sat cross-legged behind Gao Qian.

Hansen's sea-blue eyes looked thoughtfully at the high dive.

Luna gave her husband, Jiajia, and Gao Qian a bowl of fish soup full of fish.

"Try it, this is a specialty of our Aurora Village, dragon horn fish can only be caught in the lagoon here, you know that further back, it is the world of those sea monsters, if you don't want to die, you have to stay away from there. Eat it, it's a tribute to the temple. Hansen greeted warmly.

Luna glanced at her husband complainingly and explained, "Don't listen to Hansen's nonsense, these fish soups are just mixed with some dragon horn bones, and the fish meat in them is just the common salmon." However, even though it is only a few fish bones, this soup is also quite delicious, after all, it is a fish that pays tribute to the temple, and it is said that if you eat it for a long time, you may become a demigod. ”

Gao Qian glanced at Jiajia, Jiajia was already holding the fish soup and drinking her cheeks were sweating, and then raised her head and nodded to Gao Qian: "It's delicious, big brother, you can drink a little too." ”

Gao Qian smiled and shook his head slightly: "Big brother is not hungry, Jiajia eat." ”
