Chapter Seventy-Eight: Departure

"I've been tossed on the waves of the East Sea, I've heard the stillness and tranquility of the West Sea, the mist of the South China Sea has disoriented me, and when I finally set foot on the glaciers of the North Sea, an indescribable thought came over me. www.biquge.info What would be the end of the endless sea, what would be beyond Southerwell, what would other continents be, and whether the life that inhabited them would have the same civilization as ours? That's right, humans are born to explore the unknown. ”

-- The great explorer Ixstader Trowdu, before setting sail in May 491 AH

......

......

The red bricks and tiles of the lighthouse city faded from view with the sound of the ship splitting the sea, and the boy stood alone on the aft deck, leaning against the cold steel railing. The air flowing backwards from the ship hung on his broad back, stirring up his simple plain robes.

"For the first time, far away, land ......"

The boy muttered words of disbelief, and Troy's mind was still filled with gray stone embankments, towering towers, sailors busy carrying goods, seagull nests made of dead grass and branches and feathers, the salty and moist smell in the air, and the quiet sound of the waves in the noise of conversation.

In this way, the scenes that I had never seen in the previous sixteen years of the boy's life stayed in my mind and could not be dispersed for a long time. Although Troy could not describe it in the same words, the image would forever be etched in his memory, adding some color to his monotonous life up to this point.

His fate had changed.

If Lance hadn't arrived at the village in advance at that time, then at this moment, the boy standing here would not have been able to embark on this journey to a distant land, and it was more likely that he would have been brutally killed by soldiers disguised as pirates with unknown intentions.

"Hey, Troy, what are you doing here alone?" Behind him, the already familiar concern came from the young fire elementalist companion, Vina. On that "uneventful" night in the City of Flower Moon, what happened between her and Troy had become a secret between the two.

Having lost her most respected captain due to a tragedy, but with the help of her old and new companions, she has sanctioned the enemy who tortured the villagers and killed Lance, and the sorceress who knows that she must become strong and independent has taken the first step towards the future.

"I think so, thinking about things. At...... Recall what happened before. ”

Turning around, Troy's response sounded a little hesitant, perhaps just that such a description was strange and difficult for a country boy who rarely spoke.

"Really, Ralph said you're a person who doesn't care about the past, only looks forward?"

The girl, dressed in a bright red outfit like a flame, narrowed the distance between her and the boy slightly. On closer inspection, her new garment was even a little more refreshing than the one that could already be described as "very cool", although the cloth that wrapped around her chest was a little wider to hide the cross scars on her chest, but the bold diamond-shaped openings on either side of her waist undoubtedly exposed more skin.

"Hoo ......"

And pinned the slightly messy hair behind the ears, and the "wind" that was not irritable at all gently blew through the white and tender cheeks of the woman after grooming. The ship that had just set sail and had not yet raised its speed did not bring too strong air currents, and the just right breeze made Vina's posture even more sultry at the moment.

In Southwell, wind in the ordinary sense refers only to the natural flow of air produced during the "month of wind chimes" in March, but there is no abbreviated name for the air currents and shocks produced during high-speed movement or when two powerful forces are used, and in many descriptions this anthropogenic phenomenon is also referred to as wind.

"I don't know. Facing the seductive appearance of the female magician Jade hand, the calm young man shook his head greatly, he only thought about answering the other party's question without any other thoughts, "I really don't know, this feeling, it's very strange." ”

Troy's mouth opened wide, and suddenly his throat was hoarse, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. Feeling the lack of language for the first time, he even had the idea of learning more from people like Vina, who could always say words he had never heard before.

"It's really weird...... I want to say it, but I don't know what to say. ”

The boy never imagined that he would have such a desire to express his thoughts to others, and he did not even think that there would be feelings in his heart that were so strong that they could not be kept in his heart, but had to be expressed.

In the past few days, the teenager who did not act out of his own thoughts set foot on a strange land with the team, saw too many strange scenes and strangers, and experienced battles and killings that would never have been there before.

For him, everything is unknown, everything seems to be full of "magic".

"Incredible. ”

"Huh?"

"'Incredible', and 'unbelievable'. It means very strong 'strange', so strange that it is impossible to believe and understand. The sorceress's eyes were gentle and bright, and although she didn't know what Troy was trying to say, she could see the bewilderment in the other party's eyes at the moment, and she saw the longing in his eyes.

"There's still a long way to go, and there's still a lot of time. ”

Although this desire is not for herself that makes Vina feel helpless and shy - the shyness comes more from the idea of wanting to "seduce" the ignorant teenager she has known for a long time, but she has already made up her mind that she will not stop "pursuing" here.

After all, the boy in front of him inherited the magic of Lance. Magic, this is really the most magical thing on this continent. It's just a necessity for magic, an ethereal thing that can't be seen with the naked eye, and it's hard to say what it means to "feel", but why? Magic sometimes represents a person.

Now, if she closed her eyes, Vina would even mistake the boy standing in front of her for Lance.

But he was Troy, Lance was dead, and his miserable body was buried by himself and his companions.

"Do you want to 'learn', to be exposed to new things, to understand new things, things that you didn't know before? ”

The past is for her to pass, and Vena decides to face up to what is in front of her, and of course, the sorceress must overcome a lot of obstacles in the matter of treating the boy as a separate individual.

"Incredible. ”

"Huh?"

"Vena, you give me the feeling that it is ...... 'beautiful'. ”

The slightly shy young man smiled and said something that made the woman who was still thinking in his heart suddenly turn hot, and the extremely simple description became a "magic potion" that made Vina's heart flutter at this moment.

Is this the answer to my own question that night?
