"And they succeeded. Fioni carefully slid into the crevices of the stacked rocks, through the seemingly impassable rocks, to his companion who was waiting for his news.

Hela and Peg both showed a slightly relaxed expression, but they both knew that not being killed immediately by the Burning Waves was only the beginning of this plan, and when Lothar was taken to the other party's base camp, the difficulties and dangers they encountered would only increase. Compared to them, the shapeshifter's face did not show any relief, which made the witches suspect that the other party had noticed the risks of the project that they had not perceived in the initial estimates.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Pegg, who wanted to know the key to the Kraken's worries, even though the risks and variables of such a thing were too numerous to count.

Fioni was silent for a few seconds, as if to organize how to explain his concerns, "The tarantula cut off Jaquia's right hand, it's nothing to talk about, it's a situation we have planned for a long time, we can only say that it's a blessing that both of them are still alive." What made me feel wrong was the scorching waves, no, it should be Isita's attitude towards him. ”

"Who is Isita?" In order to answer this question, the shapeshifter had to briefly tell his companion about his childhood experiences and why he became acquainted with Isita and her sister as a result. After explaining his relationship with the Temporal Priest, the question returned to the one he had just been talking about, "I've never seen a Tempdal Priest treat an earthly man like that. Even at the festival of their goddess, with Isita's current status, she wouldn't be so, so, I don't know how to describe that state, maybe, chaos! yes, she was confused, I could see that she had thought a lot about the tarantula for a long time, which was not in line with the style of the waves. ”

"Maybe it's because she can't trust an earth-man to defeat the best hunter of shark teeth in the water?" Hela made a more reasonable judgment, humans defeating a kraken at the bottom of the sea is as incredible as a fish beating a bear to the ground on land. But if that's the case, Isita should have tighter control over Lothar's actions, and even execute the anomalous human outright. She didn't do that, not even for the soldiers to tie up Lothar. It won't be fearful or inconceivable. On the contrary, she knew why Lothar was able to defeat the Huntress, and it was because she knew the reason that she would choose the most reasonable way to deal with the Count.

As a child, Fioni was educated by Lietao, and as he grew a little older, he also worked as a trainee priest. Thanks to this, the shapeshifters are aware of a lot of knowledge that is not known to ordinary people and is only passed down among the priests, including the relationship between the full moon lady, the first high priest, and the shark tooth. But the more he came into contact with these things, the more aware Fioni knew how tightly a part of his knowledge was kept in the hot waves. What he knew was something that only the trainee priests and a small number of regular priests could know, and the more secret information, especially that the priests who could achieve good results on the ninety-nine steps, were not able to imagine and did not want to imagine. For it seemed to him that knowledge must be as full of twisted and ugly things as the bloody cult of the Tides. But now it seems that some of these things may have something to do with Lothar.

The connection between the two is not difficult to speculate, after all, as a junior sailor, Lothar's relationship with this sea area is not complicated. Isita was afraid of the tattoo on the Count's arm, in other words, she was afraid of the curse that humans called the Rope of the Sea God. It's funny, what kind of curse can make a priest of a god feel jealous?

However, the situation at this time did not allow Fioni to continue to think deeply, and after confirming that Lothar and the others had successfully become prisoners, his next task was to take Peg and Hela to a safe ventilation point to replenish oxygen, and by the way, it was best to let them eat and drink. The shapeshifters had already planned the next move of the team when they were in the Meditation Forest, and although Isita's team had disrupted the plan, due to the dedication of the three Counts, the chaos had been eliminated.

"Anyway, whatever Isita's special attitude towards tarantulas, we can't help them anymore. The priority now is for you to replenish your oxygen and then wait for your time in safe water. Fioni explained to the two witches that he would take the lead in leaving the makeshift camp with their consent. However, after they had continued on some distance, the current suddenly became violent, and the untimely current rushed in the direction of Heartless Bay, turning the sand at the bottom of the sea into a gray underwater storm.

In order to avoid being separated in the storm, the shapeshifters had to choose to float, and because of this, the three-person team had the opportunity to see what they would never forget.

In the raging currents, a dirty wave of sand and earth roared like a giant beast lurking at the bottom of the sea, but above the beast's head, in the upper currents where the sand could not rise, the water glowed blue. Of course, the sea water does not emit light on its own, and under the shroud of fog, the sunlight can no longer make the water surface refract and reflect, so where does this faint blue light come from? Before a few people could figure it out, they were already engulfed, and for a moment, just for a moment, all the dim currents around them were lit up, as if this place was no longer in the water, but a vast space between the stars in the sky, and those things that lit up this space were like stars in the night sky.

But they're not stars. After the initial panic calmed down, the three of them all found the same thing, that is, the source of the dark blue light, in fact, it was a translucent creature about the thickness of an adult's knuckles, these strange-shaped creatures had a body called the army, except for the outermost membrane, the inside of the body was transparent, and in the core of the growth of a more obvious organ similar to a miniature version of the human brain, the thin silk threads that stretched out from this organ should be the nerves of this creature, and the blue light is the light emitted regularly in these nerves。 And what illuminates this ocean current is thousands, nay, uncountable numbers of such creatures.

Peg and Hela had never seen anything like this in the ocean before, and they didn't dare to move at all for fear that the glowing creatures would be poisonous or aggressive. Fortunately, those creatures also consciously avoided their bodies, and the two did not collide for a short time. But Fioni was not, these luminescent creatures awakened a dusty message in his memory, he stretched out his arm behind his back, his palm extended, and a luminous object naturally fell into his hand and stopped fluttering.

So a name was sent to the witches' minds from the Shell Man's message,

"Blue Spirit Flower. ”
