Chapter Seventy-Nine: Confused

Jalena suggests that everyone find an inn in the village on the shore, but Fern thinks the boat is safer, and he is still worried that the Twilight Cult or the two old mages will catch up with them. There was only one inn in the small village, which gave Fern much peace of mind, but there were dozens of ships docked on the shore, and they were intricately intertwined. Eventually, they found a medium-sized two-masted passenger ship and accommodated themselves in the rooms in spacious cabins.

Ness and Jasmina chose a room with a large bed, which took up more than half of the room, and even Ness had never seen such a big bed. After the two of them took a shower, they lay comfortably on the 'bed', and Jasmine wanted to sleep like this, but it was already the second half of the night, and the fatigue along the way made her yawn one after another as soon as she stuck to the 'bed', but Ness was uncharacteristically excited.

"Jasmine, talk to me for a while, we didn't talk well last time in Durham. Ness leaned back on the pillow, her legs curled up.

Morena was already lying down, impatient, but unable to get angry with her 'sexual' personality. "Aren't you tired? I didn't expect you to have so much potential. ”

Ness triumphantly took a handful of washed hair in her hand and played with it. "This is my second time on the boat, and the last time I was on the sailing boat, the slight seasickness made me not enjoy the rooms there, but today is different, such a comfortable big 'bed', and the boat will not open, and such a beautiful view, it is like a vacation!"

"Have you forgotten where we are now?" said Morena as well, sitting up and leaning back on her pillow. "We are like migratory birds that have lost their bearings, not knowing where to go. ”

Reminded by Jasmine, Ness fell silent. "Fern said he would take me out of Wallis and into the unfathomable depths of the ocean, and then I would be able to forget all my troubles. ”

Jasmina glanced at Ness, her hands resting gently on her lower abdomen, which was flat and delicate. "This is also a journey without direction, without a destination, where are you going in the sea?"

Ness lowered her head, her face turning dejected. "Jasmine, I know you know more than I do, do you think I should go with Ferne?"

"Do you want to go with him?" said Morena and looked at Ness.

"Of course, I've regretted it since we parted ways at the Mage's Tower, and I swore in my heart that I wouldn't leave Fern again if I met him again. Ness looked up and looked at Jarena steadfastly.

"That's good, in that case, what do I think it has to do with you? Jasmina nodded, though there was no 'show' of approval in her eyes.

Niss frowned, tilting her head to stare at the side of the ** master's face. "From your point of view, you don't approve of us doing this. ”

Jasmina sighed. "Of course, Ness, have you ever wondered what the end of going deep into the sea will be, and do you really think that it is better to die at sea than to remain in Wallis and fight against those evil people?"

"What if we find a habitable island in the middle of the sea, or if we are more fortunate enough to find another continent? Ness raised her eyebrows and said tentatively.

Morena smiled again, this time helplessly. "Countless experienced sailors have not been able to discover any land outside Wallis for hundreds of years, do you think you will be able to do so this time?"

"This ...... Did Fern really see death as home?" Nessy crossed her hands and placed them on her knees.

"He's stuck in a circle of his own making, from being used by the Mage Tower at the beginning, to all the events he has experienced later, which has made him despair of everything on this continent, and I think he no longer thinks about whether he can live or not, he just doesn't want to be involved in this matter anymore. "Morena looked at the end of the bed, she didn't want to say this to Ness, but reason told her she had to say it, Ness was too young to detect what was really going on in Fern's heart.

"How could it be ......" Ness took Morena's hand. "Should I refuse him, no...... I should have persuaded him to change his mind, for he would be suicidal. ”

Jarena squeezed Ness's hand. "I can't tell you the answer, Ness, I've gone against my original will by saying so much, I just want to help Fern. ”

"Help Fern ......" Ness blinked, the candle-lit cabin wasn't bright, but Ness's eyes were still shining. "Jarena, you...... Do you like Fern?"

Morena was caught off guard by this sudden question, and the hand holding Niss also clenched tighter, and the ** teacher's eyes flickered. "I just...... Just wanted to help him. ”

"Don't lie to me, Molina. Ness squeezed the other's hand. "I don't mind, really, Molina, although I felt a little uncomfortable at first, when I saw that your care and understanding for Fern, and the help you gave him along the way, he was able to reunite with me, and I felt that I didn't hate you anymore. ”

"Hate me......" Jasmina bowed her head slightly. "When did I become one of those people, don't worry, Ness, I won't snatch Fern away from you. ”

Niss didn't know what to answer, so she had to nod slightly, she suddenly felt that the ** teacher in front of her, who was a few years older than herself, was so sympathetic to herself, all because of the same man in their hearts.

In another room, two men each lie on a narrow single 'bed', both with bottles in their hands, and the comfort of a freshly bathed spreads throughout their bodies. At the beach, the 'damp' sea breeze kept blowing into the cabin through the open windows, so that the two of them would not feel too hot.

"I didn't expect to be dragged into the water by you, but it's nice to be able to enjoy it here. Barred straightened his legs, and the whole person was relaxed and half lying on the bed.

Fern leaned back on the 'bed' and looked out the window at the dark sea. "From the beginning, you pulled me into the water, I didn't expect it to be such deep water, it's really bottomless. ”

"Come on, Fern. Barred threw his head back and drank. "I didn't expect you to be so negative and take the initiative to go to the sea to die. ”

Fern's eyes deepened as he looked out the window. "It's too late to say anything, we've reached the Cape of the Storm, and tomorrow I'll go look for a ship, any ship willing to send us to the depths of the sea. ”

Barred snorted disdainfully. "Do you think you can really find such captains? They are much smarter and more sensible than you. ”

"As long as you give enough money, you will definitely find it. Fern turned his head to look at Barred, who was lying in the room.

"This is very much in line with the mercenary's thinking, well, even if you can find it with enough money, they must have your gold coins in mind, I bet that as soon as the boat leaves the shore's sight, they will kill you and throw you into the sea to feed the fish, and then go away with your gold, they may not kill Ness, but they will use her as a plaything. Barred dragged his head behind his head with one hand and drank from the bottle in the other.

Fern was silent for a moment. "Then I'll buy their boats, and I'll get them all out of the boat, and I'll go to sea myself. ”

"Will you sail a boat? Do you have sailing experience?" said Bared, taking the last drop of wine into his mouth and sitting up on the 'bed', staring at Fern gravely. "When did you become so stubborn, Fern? Why do you insist on going your own way, knowing that this is the only way to die? Besides, you forget it, do you want to drag Ness to die with you?"

Fern looked at Barred with a confused look in his eyes. "I've had enough, Bared, I've had enough of the damn everything, what a dark tide, the Mage's Tower, the Twilight Cult, the Great Sage, the Hallows, I don't want to hear this again. ”

"Cheer up, Fern, this is not what you should be thinking now, think about it, those soldiers and civilians of the Frontier Country, who have been fighting against the dark tide for hundreds of years, what are these difficulties of yours compared to them?" Barred said righteously. At least, you look at me, for more than twenty years, I have been immersed in regret and self-blame for the past, until now, I have to use this old bone to raise the sword to help you, you are so young, but you say that you have had enough, don't you feel shy?"

"I'm sorry, Barred, I let you down, I let everyone down. Fern picked up the sword from his pillow. "I don't deserve this sword, take it back. ”

"Hell, Fern, I wish I could have thrown you out of the window right now!" Barred cursed, turning over and falling asleep, ignoring the junior who had disappointed him.

Fern stroked the scabbard of the sword in the stone, and then leaned back on the pillow with difficulty, staring blankly at the top of the cabin, his heart full of thoughts, and the gentle sound of the sea 'waves' in his ears washed over the shore, as if it was also washing his mind.
