The further south you go, the more open the terrain becomes, and the woods on both sides of the road gradually thin, and the dense woods are replaced by half-tall meadows and wild 'flowers' that are all over the mountain. A hot and humid wind blew, lowering the green grass and flowers, and at the same time mixing the smell of the ocean with the miscellaneous smells of various flowers.

Ness closed her eyes and looked up, feeling the warm breeze in her face. "I seem to smell salty, is this the smell of the sea?"

"Yes, it's reassuring, to be able to let go of all the smell of exhaustion, and when I'm in Deville, I'll go to the beach when I'm fine, and sit on the rocks on the shore and listen to the sound of 'waves' and 'flowers' crashing on the shore, and I can sit all day. "Fern looked far away, and everywhere he could see was the boundless grass and 'flower' fields, and the wind blew frequently one after another, and the whole meadow was rolling like 'waves' and 'waves'.

"It's so beautiful, it's like a sea of green. It was the first time that Jalena had seen such a scene, and she straightened up on horseback and looked into the distance as best she could.

Barred didn't forget to drink even right away, holding the bottle in one hand and the reins in the other. "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as good as the posture of the two beauties. ”

Ness bowed her head shyly, and Jasmine glared at Barred with dignity, clearly feeling offended. Fern shook his head, rode up to Barrede, and snatched the bottle from his hand. "He's drunk too much, don't worry, let's go quickly, we must get to Cape Storm before dark, it looks beautiful now, but when night falls, you will find out what the opposite of beauty is. ”

Morena asked curiously, "Is there anything here? I can't think of any danger in such a peaceful place." ”

"Tropical 'flower' leopards, they like to hide in this kind of meadow, quickly approaching their prey, and before the prey can react, their sharp teeth have already bitten into the neck of the prey. Fern smiled. "Their speed will make you desperate. ”

Jasmine subconsciously wrapped her scarf around her neck, and followed Fern who took the lead without saying a word, and Ness also changed from relaxed just now to nervous, only Barred still looked drunk and followed at the end of the line.

The journey to Cape Storm was farther than Fern had expected, and the mercenaries had never made it to the southernmost tip of Wallis, so the estimate of the distance here was somewhat underestimated. While the moon occasionally 'shows' its light behind the layers of dark clouds, they still travel along the long coastline. On the southernmost shoreline of Wallis, the seemingly never-ending sea breeze swept over the four men, blowing their clothes and hair and dispelling a little sleep.

Ness, who was preoccupied with the 'flower' leopard that Fern had spoken of, kept looking out into the meadows inland. They had almost walked on the seashore, the grass was a hundred yards away, and on the flat sand, the horses' hoofprints stretched out behind the group, and wave after wave of the sea surged towards them, and then retreated a dozen paces from the crowd. The beach is full of crabs, looking for their own food with the undulations of the waves. The beach stretched as far as the eye could see in front of the group, and the occasional 'ray' of moonlight smeared the whole beach with a layer of silver, the sea 'waves' came and went with the continuous sound of 'tide', and on the other side was the incessant chirping of insects at night, and Morena was already shocked by the magnificent scenery in front of her, completely forgetting the danger around her. "It's so beautiful, it's no wonder people say that Cerendra has the best sandy beach in Wallis, and that many nobles come here every year for their holidays. ”

"That's right, the beach here is unique, haven't you noticed?" Fern didn't look back, still leading the group forward.

"Really?" said Morena and Ness, looking down at the sand beneath the horses' hooves, and they cried out almost at the same time. "White 'colored' sand!"

"Isn't it special? I've never been here, but I've heard some mercenaries mention the white 'colored' sand here, which is very different from the beach in Deville. Fern took out the bottle and took a few sips to get rid of some of the fatigue.

The two 'girl' children were still sighing, and Barred did not forget to 'insert' the last sentence. "Do you really want to come here for a vacation with Fern, this is indeed a good place to rest, beautiful sandy beaches, blue seas, and people you like, but Fern is only one person, how are you going to divide it?"

Fern almost fell off the back of the clouds, but he didn't dare to answer it, so he pretended not to hear it and continued to ride forward. Jasmine blushed and muffled, only Ness frowned, her gaze shifting back and forth between Fern and Jarena.

Subsequently, the other three didn't dare to stir up the topic anymore, so they just kept riding silently. Finally, in the middle of the night, the light from a lighthouse on a high slope in the distance caught Fern's eyes, and the light of the lighthouse swirled, guiding him at regular intervals. "It's almost there, I see the lighthouse!" Fern shouted excitedly.

Cape Storm was just a village built by the sea, much smaller than Green Bay, and it was midnight, and it was much quieter than Green Bay, with the lights in most of the houses extinguished, except for a few taverns where there was a faint light.

The group rode slowly into the village, and the two soldiers at the entrance of the village let them relax, and after a brief inspection, the soldiers let them in. Fern was puzzled and asked Barred in the back, "After the destruction of Grivel, the size of Green Bay has barely decreased, and this alone is obviously not enough to support the entire Green Bay, so many people rushed from Green Bay, where have they gone now?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer you. "The route here crosses the southern end of Wallis, and the sea route between Alesia and Macon passes through here, and it is much more comfortable and faster to take a boat than to take the overland route, and this route is not like the northern route, which is limited by the seasons, it is a veritable golden route, and of course it attracts elusive pirates, and I would not be surprised if anything happens here." ”

"But why are there regular soldiers here? It's just a small village like this. Jasmine looked suspiciously at the surrounding buildings, not seeing the slightest need for soldiers.

"Maybe it's to guard against pirates, who sometimes come ashore. Fern shrugged, casually guessing.

The light of the lighthouse on the high slope swirled like a bright light in front of everyone, and the village was built at the bottom of the slope, and there was still some distance to the lighthouse at the top of the slope, and Fern decided to go to the lighthouse despite his physical fatigue. "I'm going up, do any of you want to go with you?"

Jasmine and Ness were still hesitating, and Barred and Fern were already urging their mounts to start climbing. "The scenery above must be very good, and the southernmost point of Wallis is here, and it must have the most magnificent sea and sand. ”

Jasmine glanced at the smug Barred complainingly, and followed the two, and Ness had no choice but to follow. The whole slope did not look very high, but it took almost five minutes to climb it on horseback, which was by no means close, but when standing by the lighthouse, and looking out from the southernmost point of Wallis, everyone was glad that they had been able to climb up, and the misfortune just now was insignificant in front of the magnificent scenery in front of them.

The moon came out from behind the clouds at the right time, and the stars shimmered behind the clouds. The endless deep blue sea pushes the waves and waves wash over the shore, and in the distance, the sea is plunged into darkness, mysterious and longing. The sea breeze, which was no longer hot at night, blew wantonly on everyone, blowing away the fatigue and heat of the day. The sound of the wind whistling in my ears, the dark night sky and the deep sea seemed to suck the four of them in. Ness unconsciously grabbed Fern's arm, and Morena wanted to do the same, but after seeing Ness's actions, she had to restrain herself, and Fern and Barred were completely immersed in the atmosphere and dazed, and the four of them stood at the top of the high slope, unable to recover for a long time.

When the initial emotion wore off, the group realized the location at their feet, and to their greater amazement, they found the reason why the southernmost village of Wallis was so small. The high slope on which the lighthouse is located is on top of a cliff and stretches out for a long distance, and below the high slope is a haven with relatively small sea 'waves'. Dozens of ships, large and small, docked in the harbor, most of them had windproof oil lamps hanging on their decks, indicating that the ships were inhabited. It was then that Fern realized that all these boats were the main body of the village, and that the houses on the shore were just accessories, that this was a movable village, and that the "dwellings" and inhabitants of the village were constantly changing every day.
