The wind blowing from the surface of the sea mixed with the smell of heat and humidity made the cabin hot, and at Cape Storm, the southernmost point of Wallis, everything was hot as soon as the sun rose. Fern sat up on his bed, beads of sweat on his forehead, he had only slept for a short time that night in Green Bay, and even now that it was getting light, he still felt like he hadn't slept enough.

Barred on the other bed was gone, and he was still very relieved about Bared, and he poured a glass of water and drank it all before he regained his spirits. Through the round window, Fern saw the blue sea, the golden sun shimmering on the surface of the sea, swaying with the waves. In the unknown ocean, I still have to throw myself into your arms after all, and I don't know if it will be new life or death that will greet me. Fern shook his head, put down his glass, slowly got dressed, and walked out of the room.

The ship was not too big, but it was well equipped, the spacious cabins were divided into three levels, the lower floor was a storage room and stables stacked with miscellaneous items, the middle floor was full of guest rooms, and the upper floor was a small tavern in addition to some luxurious rooms, and Fern slowly paced into the tavern, where his companions were indeed there.

"How's the rest?" Fern sat down in the only empty seat at the table, picked up a piece of cheese from the table and put it in his mouth.

Ness looked at Barred in confusion, who nodded at her, and Jarena looked at her encouragingly. Seeing that no one answered him, Fern looked up, just in time to see the tacit look of the three of them. "What's wrong?"

"Fern ......" Ness bit her lip and leaned forward. "Do you really want to go deep into the sea of mist? do you really think it's the best option?"

Fern stopped chewing on the cheese, his eyes flickering with unease. "Ness, it's not me, it's us, let's go to the Sea of Mists together, away from Wallis. ”

But Fern ...... We must do our part in Wallis's survival, and we can't watch it fall into crisis and choose to run away. Ness clenched her hands nervously into fists and placed them on the table.

"Isn't it safer for Wallis to leave you? Fern swallowed the cheese, and now he had no appetite at all.

Jasmina also spoke on the side, "You're right, but why do you have to choose this most dangerous path?"

"Because there's nothing we can do but that. Fern's voice rang out. "As long as we don't leave Wallis, we'll be found by those damned mages. ”

"Then you can't go to death. Barred was wearing a thin tank top, and his muscles were so strong that no one dared to sit at the table around him.

Fern ignored the two of them, instead staring straight at Ness. "Ness, you have to come with me, even if we die in the sea, I don't want to stay here. ”

Ness reached out and grabbed the mercenary's hand tightly. "Fern, come to your senses, please, you weren't like that in the past, no matter how big the difficulties were, as long as we were together, we could overcome them, didn't we?"

"Ness, do you still want to be used? I can't see you trapped between the forces anymore, a puppet on either side, I can't stand it anymore!" Fern gripped Ness's hand tightly, holding the girl in pain.

Jaminena's right hand rested on Fern's arm. "Fern, we all know your feelings for Niss, but feelings are not a senseless sacrifice, let alone forcing the other party to do what they want, not to mention what is the difference between your current thoughts and pulling Ness to martyrdom with you?"

"What martyrdom?" Fern shouted with a snarled face on her face as she shook off Jarena's hand, the attention of the surrounding passengers being drawn. "I'm going to go find the boat, and I'll go right away, and then you and Barred can leave at once. Fern let go of Ness's hand and walked out of the cabin without looking back.

"Fern ......" Ness didn't know what to do, and the whole person collapsed in the chair.

Jarena rubbed the hand that Fern had shaken away. "What should we do now, he has completely fallen into madness, it has been since he found the Hallows, it was not serious at that time, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this. ”

Barred took a long sip of his drink. "Leave him alone, let's get out of here, let's go now. ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared behind Niss, and Barred was surprised that he didn't notice anyone approaching, but he still didn't forget to react quickly, he grabbed Niss into his arms, and stood in front of Niss. "What people!"

The figure was wrapped in a cloak and even wore a hood, with its entire face buried in the hood, which was unthinkable in the heat of Threndra. The other's body shook slightly, and a dry laugh came out of his hood. "Barrede, it's been so long, and you're still young. ”

Barred stared at the other's hood suspiciously, and his right hand touched the hilt of his sword. "You know me? Why don't I have any image of this voice. ”

"It's not your fault, my voice has changed, it's inevitable because I'm not who I used to be. The figure stopped shaking, and reached under the cloak with his left hand and pulled out a long sword, which was a very plain-looking sword, the only difference was that there was a red gem embedded in the top of the hilt.

"Garnimed!" Bared's eyes widened suddenly, and his hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled.

The figure raised his sword. "That's right, Ganimede, remember who I am, Bared?"

"How is that possible!? aren't you already ...... Dead? in the Far North. Barred slowly stepped back, casting a quick color on Morena, and the archmage understood and was ready to cast a spell.

The figure didn't answer Bared's question, but slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard, its blade gleaming. "Where's your Oberon, Bared, it's been a long time since I've fought someone of equal strength, and I'm really excited. ”

"Oberon is not with me. Barred retreated to the edge of the table, only to find out of the corner of his eye that on the other side there were also several figures wrapped in cloaks that cut off their retreat.

The rest of the tavern could see that something was going to happen, and they had already run away, and even the boss and the maid were gone. Morena also noticed their current situation, and her lips opened and closed unobtrusively.

The figure suddenly swung his sword, and the tip of the sword in the stone was only an inch away from the archmage's face. "Don't be stupid, mage, I know more about mages than you think, and I don't want to leave a scar on such a pretty face. ”

Startled by the sudden attack, Jasmine's spell stopped abruptly, and she lowered her head and glared at her opponent with her mouth pursed.

"Well, I'm not here to kill people, as long as you give up resistance, I won't kill anyone. The figure pointed the sword in the stone at Bared. "It's just a pity that I can't fight you, you wouldn't be the Barred I know without Oberon, by the way, the sword in the stone is in Fern's hands, he should be with you. ”

"No comment! What the hell do you want. Barred scanned the surroundings and realized that the three of them had been completely surrounded, with more than a dozen cloaked figures surrounding the tavern.

"Take you to Grivel. The figure put away the sword in the stone and motioned for his men to tie up the three of them. "There's something that's going to blow your mind. With that, he led the way out of the cabin, and the husky laughter was chilling.

Fern didn't return to the cabin until lunchtime, and there was not a single guest in the tavern, only the boss sat apatheticly, and the mercenary was keenly aware that something must have happened. "What's going on, people?" asked Fern, grabbing his boss by the collar.

The boss raised his head blankly and stared blankly at Fern with blank eyes. "They...... They took the three men. ”

"Who are they!" Fern roared, his hand grabbing the boss's collar bulging.

"No...... I don't know, they are all hidden in their cloaks, and they can't see their faces clearly, the man who took the lead. "The boss shivered on such a hot day. "That man, let me convey a word to you, his voice is the most uncomfortable voice I have ever heard in my life, although I can't see his face, but he stares at me...... I got goosebumps all over my body. ”

Fern guessed something, and his hands trembled. "What did he leave behind?"

He said...... He said, If you want to save those three men, go to Grivel and find him, and take your sword, and Gani will be waiting for you there. The boss rolled his eyes and exhaled with relief. "Finally the word is over, I shouldn't die, I did as he said. ”

"Damn!" Fern let go, his left hand gripping the scabbard tightly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his teeth chattered with rage. "Ganimed, it must be him, wait for me, Ness, I'll save you right away!"
