readx;? The Sophia was moving through the fog towards the Island of Legends. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The fog was light at first, but the closer you got to Babylon, the thicker it became. Until finally the fog was so thick that even the people on the deck who were farther away could not be seen, all were vague figures, and the people were silent, only the sound of breaking waves and the whine of ships could be heard.

Ian subconsciously held his breath, the scene in front of him was too weird. The people on this deck seemed to turn into ghosts, standing in the white mist. Later, Ian couldn't even see Tim standing next to him, but he could still see Babylon Island. The outline of the island of legends was in the thick fog, like a giant beast, clinging to the sea, but there was no giant beast to be seen, only its huge figure.

"Hey. ”

In this different kind of silence, there was a heavy sigh.

Ian was startled, and he jerked his head and looked out onto the deck. Sure enough, I saw the man, who was standing in the crowd, but the fog couldn't hide his body. He seemed to be out of this world, just looking at Ian quietly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

As if everyone else couldn't see him, they all melted into the background. It adds a weirdness to this mysterious man.

Ian tugged at Tim's sleeve and asked, "Look at that guy." ”

"What are you doing?" Tim turned his head confused, "Look at someone." ”

"The one standing in the middle. Ian turned his head and was about to identify Tim, only to find that there was no one there.

"Who are you seeing?" Tim was even more puzzled, "Who is it?" the fog is so big, don't tell me you can see clearly." ”

Ian was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's nothing, it should be that I'm insane." ”

Ian could sense that the man had left, though Ian didn't even know when he arrived.

"You're insane too?" Tim said.

"What do you mean?"

"I see, I'm having auditory hallucinations. Tim stammered, "I seem to hear someone talking in my ear." ”

"There are so many people here, it's normal for someone to talk. ”

"No, you don't understand. Tim's eyes flashed with fear, "I just heard my father talking, right in my ear, and he told me to go home. ”

"Your father, let you go home?" Ian thought incredulous, "Did you hear me wrong?"

"I don't know. Tim's eyes reddened slightly, "Maybe someone else is talking and I misheard him, I haven't heard him speak for a long, long time because he died three years ago." ”

Ian froze.

Tim wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, and then smiled reluctantly, "Hey, it's weird, I wasn't very sad when he left." Now I'm starting to be hypocritical, and I don't know why, but when I see the sea, I think of him. ”

Ian was silent, and he inexplicably remembered what the fisherman named Quinn had said to him when he was in Sophia Harbor: "The sea is lonely." ”

He now somewhat understands why someone would describe the vast sea as lonely. Is the sea lonely? No, it's not lonely, it's just that the people who watch the sea are lonely, so the sea they see is lonely.

As Tim's words fell, everyone seemed to break free from the silence. Those noisy words came to Ian's ears again, and Ian breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had finally fallen to the ground in his heart, and it was still heavy just now. After all, this atmosphere is so depressing, it makes people want to die.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "Oh my God, we're approaching Babylon!"

After a brief silence, everyone boiled. Because Babylon Island is slowly emerging from the thick fog, people can gradually see the grass and trees on the island. Believing that it would not be long before they could reach Epilon, the people celebrated with each other.

"Haven't we been approaching Epilon, what are they excited about?" asked Tim, puzzled.

Ian didn't know what to answer. At this moment, Newman Stolan came to them at some point, heard Tim's words, and smiled slightly: "No, we have seen Babylon Island countless times before, but we have never been so close as today. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Someone may have mentioned to you that Babylon Island is mobile. Newman Stolan stroked his white beard and exclaimed, "We're getting closer to it, and it's moving away from us at the same time." So for so many years, we have not been on Epilon, but now it seems that Epilon Island has not moved, of course, it is possible that this time we drove fast and caught up with Epilon. ”

"Captain, we can already see Babylon Island!" First Officer Hogelhorn said excitedly as he walked up to Vincent, "At this rate, it will only take half an hour for us to land on the Island of Legends!"

Vincent wasn't as excited as he thought, and he frowned tightly, as if thinking about something.

"Your Excellency?"

"yes, I see. Vincent nodded slowly, "Tell them to prepare, we'll land on the island in half an hour." ”

"Yes, sir. Hogelhorn excitedly retreated, and then told the crew that he was going to land on the island. Soon, the entire Sophia shook, and the crew cheered loudly in celebration.

But Vincent didn't have a trace of joy, he just stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the increasingly clear body of Epilon. Eventually, he muttered, "What is this ominous premonition? How many years have passed, I hope nothing will happen." ”

Half an hour later, the Sophia slowly docked beside Babylon Island. Ian had already packed up his needs half an hour earlier and stood at the bow of the boat, ready to follow the crew aboard.

"What's in that big box?" asked Tim, pointing to Ian's metal box, "Is it heavy, it's such a big one." ”

Ian shook his head, not wanting to speak. The closer he got to Epilon, the heavier his heart became, though he didn't know how it came from. It wasn't until he disembarked with the crew and set his feet on the land of Epilon that the heaviness reached its peak in an instant.

Since it was not yet dawn, the whole island looked like a sleeping beast. The deadly fangs and claws seemed to be hidden in the dense jungle. Ian raised his head and looked at the moon looming in the sky, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt the dragon flame mark on his right arm seem to ache again.
