Storms, stormy seas.

Magellan stood on the reef, soaking up the sun, watching the absurd and magnificent scene of the zenith.

Bounded by the coast, the sky is divided by two very different worlds, one side is cloudless and the sun is shining, and the other is a black cloud overwhelming the city and thundering, the border of the black cumulonimbus cloud is inlaid with gold edges, and the sun shines through the bleak wind and cold rain, and sprinkles the dancing boundary above the angry waves.

This is the coast of the Land of Dragons, and this is the welcome of Magellan in the Land of Dragons.

He was exhausted.

Despite all his efforts, Magellan was unable to save the sailboat and its occupants from the storm, a sea shrouded in some kind of terror that he could not fight alone.

The terrifyingly high waves roared under the reef, accompanied by the sound of water, shattering Magellan's feet, and the rain danced on the windy shore, as if there were invisible ghost riders running wild in the rain.

Still, the sun is still the same.

Magellan stepped down the reef and headed deeper into the land.

It was a long journey, and when Magellan saw the first ruined village, he was exhausted.

Still, fatigue didn't diminish his perception.

So the fact is that there is a staggering area of uninhabited land on the coast.

Before Magellan had time to think about what this meant, he noticed a man watching him from the side of the ruined fence at the outermost point of the village, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Mr. Magellan?"

Magellan nodded.

He couldn't understand why anyone was waiting here.

"Your friend is waiting for you in the city, and he asked me to apologize on my behalf, he was supposed to come and greet him in person, but the doctor didn't allow it. ”

Magellan nodded and followed the man forward.

They walked through ruined villages and poor villagers and along a dirt road into a city with high walls.

Along the way, both seemed surprised that the other could keep up with him, but neither said anything.

In a mansion next to the city's central boulevard, Magellan met the "friend" who invited him here.

"Long time no see...... Mariner. ”

It was a thin man, blonde, with dark gray eyes, which had been full of enthusiasm, but now, he was dying.

"Thank you for the mercy of science, it took me so long to understand what a serious mistake I made, and thankfully I still have time to apologize to you. ”

"No, you didn't do anything wrong......"

"Then please accept my last request," the sailor reached out and grabbed Magellan's arm, as if he would not let go, with surprising strength, "I have wasted a long time in this magical world and found nothing, only this ......"

Magellan turned and looked at the flowerpot on the windowsill.

There was a plant that looked like a normal flower, except for the distinctive turquoise color and shape of the buds.

"I may never see it bloom again," the patient gasped violently from the agitation, and the voice sounded like life was scrambling to escape from his body, "but you can, this is my last hope, take it back to Britannia ......"

"I came here to have other things to do. ”

Magellan stood in front of the pot and looked at the plant, which was indeed a rare variety that he had never seen before.

"I want to prove myself, I came to the land of dragons, do I want to die here quietly!"

"I don't mind helping you fulfill your wishes," Magellan said as he looked at the sailor in front of him, recalling how young he had been, "but I have my own things to do." ”

"I know, but your journey to the north won't be easy...... If you promise me, I'll help you. ”

"I suspect ......," Magellan didn't say what he thought directly, but it was direct enough, "I don't need your help." ”

"Before, my power was insignificant to you," the young man smiled, "but how powerful do you think it can be at the cost of life power?"

"You're actually ...... because of the abuse of forbidden magic"

"From the moment I touched that force, my life had been taken away, and there was no abuse at all...... And it's not magic. ”

"What did you do?"

Magellan turned to look at the sailor, and he could not see any strength in the dying man.

"Observing the nature of the world, it is a bunch of poems in the land of dragons, and the price is to die before my travelogue is finished. ”

Magellan was ready to say something, but he eventually swallowed the "unbridled curiosity" on his lips.

"I have to go. ”

"The nine princes are waiting for you, waiting to kill you. ”

Magellan didn't react, and he opened the door.

"Why did I know you were there?"

The sailor who shouted this sentence gasped violently, like a condemned prisoner waiting for a sentence, and he finally waited for the desired result, and Magellan stopped.

"Why?"

The boatswain let out a long sigh, with a look of remembrance on his face: "After 10,000 inevitable occurrences in the world, there will be an accident, and among the 10,000 accidents, one will be foreseen, this is the divination of the Dragon Country, or prophecy, I foresaw your appearance, and another more terrible person foresaw your strength." ”

"I promise you. ”

"What?"

"I will take this plant with me, and if I return to Britannia alive, it will too. ”

The sailor was stunned for a moment, then burst into a wild laugh.

"I saw it! I saw it! The destiny of heaven has turned! The destiny of heaven has changed!"

The sailor's roar came to an abrupt end, and he died.

The door opened, and the man who had brought Magellan here quietly entered the room and began to tidy up the room on his own.

Magellan stood in front of the window and picked up the pot.

"Goodbye, Marco Polo II. ”

He turned and left the room and walked out of town.

The sound of thunder and tides blown by the sea breeze echoed endlessly among the mountains.

......

Imperial capital.

A knight rushed out of the Qin Heavenly Prison, waving the handkerchief in his hand and shouting.

"Si Jing has gained!"

Soon, the news spread throughout the Imperial City, and the undercurrent began to surge.

"There is a dragon from the southeast, going northwest, its pearl color is blue, and the wonder is indescribable. ”

Yuan Chi stood on top of a high stone staircase, looking out at the sky to the southeast, where a cumulonimbus cloud was forming, black and swirling, like thick ink.

"Has the opportunity to turn the Nine Dragons into the Ten Dragons finally arrived...... Hmph......" the prince of the demon clan sneered, "Another stepping stone." ”

......

The wind subsided.

Magellan lowered his head, and before his eyes, the bud bloomed.

It was a turquoise flower, magnificent, gorgeous, like a dream.
