Saying goodbye to his mother Nasha, Jack was depressed all the way, and Sophia knew that the man in front of her was very affectionate and couldn't do anything other than give him a hug.

"Jack, why don't you sleep on Thor's back, it's still a few hours before daylight, and you're tired enough to choke on this day. Tex reminded as Cher flew above Jack.

"Yes, Jack, don't think too much about the affairs of Zhou Island, and when we come back, you can repay them well. Sophia could only try her best to comfort Jack and get him out of her grief as soon as possible.

And Jack, looking at the turbulent sea, has been thinking about all the care that his parents have taken care of him, and he can't help but think of the elders' merciless judgment on them, the discriminatory eyes of the people of Zhoudao, and the thought that this responsibility that should have been borne by his own will be borne by his elderly parents for him, and he can't help but look up to the sky and scream.

Sophia hugged Jack's arm, feeling the pain in his heart, and she longed to help him.

Thor the turtle walks calmly on the sea, everything soaked in the peace of the night.

If you want to sleep, you can't sleep, it's better to want to open up and do something else to distract yourself.

Jack picked up the dark green wooden box, it was covered with dust, the wooden box seemed to have been left unopened for a long time, the copper lock had lost its luster, and the body of the box was a little rotten, but there seemed to be a thickened steel plate under the surface of the veneer, blocking the air from the outside.

In the moonlight, Jack slowly opened the lock and gently lifted the lid, revealing that it was covered with thick wood chips. It seems that Royce took great care of this sword back then, and carried out excellent waterproof measures.

He brushed aside the sawdust and saw the black blade of the sword abruptly in the soft moonlight, grasped the hilt, and slowly drew the sword, Jack froze. He held the black sword and looked at it in the light, as if he didn't believe what he saw.

"This ......"

"What's wrong?" asked Tex curiously, looking down.

Sophia couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, how can this be?"

It turned out that even after such strict protection, the sword was still rusty all over! Rust crawled on the blade like a rotting maggot, and all parts of the black sword were rusty except for the hilt where the sword was wrapped in cloth!

Aside from the rusty nature of the sword, the shape of the sword is also very peculiar. It is different from the ordinary, the hilt is round, short and unsuitable for the hand, not to mention, the tip of the sword is slightly wider, the ridge of the sword is protruding, and the tip of the sword is not as sharp and long as the previous swords, but it is flat as if it was suddenly broken.

Tex flew a little lower, took the embroidered sword from Jack's hand and looked at it carefully, looking at it over and over again. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said to Jack, "It seems that this is a waste sword, and it has lost its original use." After saying that, he threw it to Jack.

Jack held the sword that Royce had hidden for more than twenty years, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only sigh twice, raised it to his mouth, touched it lightly with his lips, and then raised his head, looked at the sky and sighed: "It turns out that God doesn't want to support me!" This speech was full of sadness and dissatisfaction, but it was very helpless.

Suddenly, Jack felt Sophia push him, and he turned his head to see Sophia's eyes covered in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?"

Sophia didn't answer, still looking down at the sword in Jack's hand.

Jack turned his head and saw that the embroidered sword was slowly falling rust!

The rust slowly faded, from the tip to the hilt, and finally, after the transformation, the whole sword finally turned into a freshly minted sword again, reflecting black and bright light in the silver moonlight!

"Nif?"

This is the name engraved on the sword, in Garland script.

"Didn't my father pick up this sword in the middle of the sea, and why is it engraved with Garland characters?"

The resurgence of the black sword had surprised Jack, and even more so was the words engraved on the sword.

"What?Garland??, isn't it!" Turks didn't believe it. Since this sword was found, it can't be thrown into the sea by the people of Zhou Island!

Slowly, Jack discovered the clue from this text. The sword was originally made of black rare iron, but the imprint engraved with this text was made of white lacquer, which was deeply embellished on the sword.

"I see!" Jack suddenly thought of something.

Then he asked Sophia to take the sword, burying her head and rummaging through the wooden box.

Sure enough, he found a letter and opened it by moonlight.

The letter reads:

"Jack, this sword has no words, and 'Ningfu' was carved on it later. When I found this sword at the time, I had no idea that God would pull me into this kind of life. Everything was arranged. When you read this letter, you may indeed be on your way to some world, but I can't say much to you out of your protection. I just hope you remember that your name is Jack Seaver Brian, especially the word 'Seaver', and you will understand what it means later. You must know that this sword should belong to you, it is called 'Ningfu', and you should come to this point, and you should be brave enough to continue to move forward, don't be afraid. Always remember what you have to do. ”

The letter was finally signed "Royce Brian".

When it was over, everyone, like Jack, was full of questions. The letter appears to be old, and the yellowed paper tells it of its age, as if it had been written decades ago.

"Jack, do you understand what it means?" asked Sophia.

"I didn't understand anyway. Turks stuck out his tongue as well, looking dazed.

And Jack, the recipient of the letter, is even more confused than they are.

"One thing is for sure, my father knew I was going to leave with this sword. But 'Seaver' ...... 'always remember what you have to do'...... Could it be that my father reminded me not to forget the purpose of going to Tana in the first place?"

Turks shrugged helplessly, after all, he had never written a letter, he had never received a letter, and he didn't know what those words could convey.

Sophia slowly closed the letter in Jack's hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Okay, don't think about it yet, didn't your father say it, just keep going, whatever." I think we'll know the answer eventually. Didn't he also say that he didn't tell you all this because he wanted to protect you, then I think, hmm...... It's better for you to take advantage of the dawn and get a good rest and sleep. ”

Jack turned his head, his frown slowly loosened by Sophia's comfort. He put the sword and letter back into the wooden box, fastened the copper lock, hugged Sophia and kissed her heavily.

Tex in the sky couldn't stand it anymore, and he had goosebumps all over his body: "Oh, is it good to divide the occasion, so numb." ”

The couple smiled happily.
