Chapter 10: A Gift from the Heart

amp; lt; amp; gt;

Jack couldn't take his eyes off it, watching the churning waves in the distance get closer and closer.

Turning his head, Jack looked at the slightly smiling faces of Tex and Shes, which he couldn't understand. Perhaps this upcoming sea beast "Thor" will bring good news to their journey.

"Tex, you seem to have seen Thor, right?" the silence of the beach, which had been silent for a long time, was finally broken by Sheth.

"Well, a few years ago, when you were a guest in the Missiles, you met you by the sea. Very good. Turks replied.

Jack on the side looked at the two people blankly, and both of them looked relaxed, as if what Turks said "very good" meant that he was really good. Jack didn't want to think about it anymore, and went back and continued to wait for the waves in the sea.

The spray was getting closer and closer, but when it was almost to the shore, it suddenly fell silent, and the sea was silent.

Jack craned his neck to see what was going on. At this time, they still stood calmly in place, waiting peacefully.

Jack had no choice but to do the same, turning around again, staring blankly ahead.

At this time, the originally silent beach in front of it was hit by a nameless force and a fog of sand, and then, as if it had been split from the middle, the beach trembled like a sand earthquake, and sprayed sand into the sky on both sides.

Jack could clearly see that in the sand and mist, there was an object speeding in their direction. "It's coming. Sheth spoke.

Jack imagined that this "Thor" would swim from the sea, and he also imagined that it would be a sea beast, but he never imagined that this "Thor" would come out of the yellow sand!

When he awoke from his surprise, the creature in the churning sand was already in front of him.

"Roar ......", a deep low roar shook Jack and the sand beneath his feet. "It's a monster again," Jack said to himself.

The newly unearthed "Thor" in front of him is indeed different from what he thought in his heart, a water beast with a long neck, a small head, and two wings that can paddle in the water - it is clearly a simple turtle!

Sheth waited for Thor to finish the sand, squinted and smiled, and said, "Thor, you are naughty again, and you have spoiled this beach", and then said to Jack: "Jack, let me introduce you, this is Thor, my good friend." Jack didn't know what to say to answer, and he couldn't say "hello" to Thor anyway. He just gave a shallow "um".

"Thor was originally a lifeless turtle on land, living in an underground cave in the territory of Tana. When the war broke out a thousand years ago, he was almost killed, and I stumbled upon it at the exit of the cave. Jack wanted to interrupt and ask why he had an awl-like horn, but he hesitated, but he didn't ask, because he wouldn't be surprised if a dragon were to appear in the sky now.

"Thor was dying at the time, and I used my spiritual power to heal its injured body, but I couldn't cure its spirit of fear of land," Shes said this, his expression was slightly sad, but in an instant, it turned cloudy and clear: "Fortunately, after I brought it back to the Water Spirit Country, it can live peacefully and happily in the sea, and it can also get along well with the sea beasts of the Water Spirit Country." ”

"Thor, let the new friend take a good look at you!" said Sher, raising his voice.

The lifeless turtle crawls out of the sand. Only then did Jack completely see the appearance of this Thor: its appearance was actually different from that of an ordinary turtle, it was green, with a soft and slender body of nearly five meters, its hind legs were powerful and thick, and its two forelimbs should have been cruising in the sea all year round, which had degenerated into webbed. On its back is a turtle shell, but it is too small for a turtle and fits around like a decorative cloth. There is a long tail behind him, constantly plucking the sand behind him. The strangest thing was that its head, which was supposed to be a round turtle-like head, had a hard cone from the top of its head.

Jack looked at his newfound "friend" and turned to ask Shes, "Why hasn't it, its antennae, degenerated like its forelimbs?"

Shes smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, this is Thor's will. When Jack still didn't understand, Turks answered, "Because Thor is used to breaking through mountains with his tentacles to forage for food when he was on land." So in the sea, it's still a weapon that it relies on to survive. ”

It occurred to Jack that Shes said that it was Tana's "lifeless turtle", so he nodded and suddenly realized. Then Turks said: "There is no longevity because it does not have the day when life ends naturally, and if nothing else, the world can exist for as long as it can exist." Turks answered what Jack was going to ask first.

amp; lt; Two amp; gt;

"Well, it's getting evening, and you still have to hurry, so I won't keep you any longer. Schoes, who was on the side, reasonably urged them not to talk more.

"Alright, Shes, we'll see you next time, thank you for the gift", Turks didn't forget to thank Shes.

"Hey, wait", Jack was a little confused: "Our raft is broken, how to get there?"

Sheth and Turks looked at each other and laughed, and Turks said, "Didn't you hear the 'gift', Thor is the ship that carried us back!"

Jack stood stunned. He didn't expect Thor to come at all, and it was actually for them to be used as a boat. When I thought about it when I was in Garland, I had ridden a whale at most, and I almost drowned, and then suddenly an undead turtle came and used it as a mount for me!

Before leaving, Shes said that when there is any need, remember to blow the conch, and Thor will definitely appear in time to help a lot.

It was getting late, and Turks, Jack, and Maury, huddled on Thor's cramped tortoise shell, sailing toward the distant Missus country.

The evening breeze gently blew on Jack's face, and he actually liked the "old world" he had set foot in under the sea breeze. Compared to the peaceful life of Garland, this Tana, this water spirit country, although full of mystery, still gave him a lot of novel experiences, even if this experience was sometimes dangerous.

Jack sat on Thor's back and asked Tex, "You said, this Thor, was saved by Sheth and accompanied him for a thousand years, so it should be able to understand human speech, right?" Tex's nodded.

Jack suddenly smiled darkly and looked at Tex. Tex's eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what Jack was going to do: "What's the matter, you have a conspiracy?" Jack kept laughing, and then turned to a dark face and said, "Of course there is a conspiracy......".

"Thor, speed up!" Jack exclaimed, patting Thor on the neck.

Turksmuran.

amp; lt; AMP; gt;

Thor sped up in the water as if he were unhindered, a speed that Jack could not find in any kind of sea creature, perhaps only the birds of the sky could match it.

With Thor's help, at the dawn of the day, Jack was woken up from a half-asleep by Tex: "It's here." ”

This time it really came, I didn't expect Thor to be so fast, and it helped them shorten their trip by five days.

Jack stood up from Thor's back, yawned with his mouth open, and looked at the looming land ahead, a little excited. Come to think of it, the amazing events along the way have finally come to an end, and I have arrived at my destination smoothly and excitingly, and when I arrived at the Missi country on land, so many things I want to know should have come to an end!

Reaching the horizon at about the same time as the sun, Jack and Turks landed on the shores of Missus, sending Thor back to the sea.

Turks half-jokingly said to Jack, "Now, you're going to meet a whole bunch of real humans." Jack sighed, yes.

The coast of the Missus Country is not much different from the coast of the Water Spirit Country and the Holy Ape Country, the only difference is that there are some houses densely stationed on the coast, which should be lived by the common people of the Missu Country. But, strangely, it was true that there was no early smoke rising.

Aware of this anomaly, Jack approached a house to see what was going on.

It was one of a row of wooden houses, with a square shape, a triangular roof, with a large window in front and a side window, and the main entrance was open, and the front of the door should have not rested for many years, and it was overgrown with weeds, because the sea breeze and the moisture of the sea were often blowing, and everyone was luxuriant, and the trees behind the house were almost tall.

Before he could go in, Turks pulled Jack, who was full of questions, and said, "Don't go in, it's been ten years of waste." ”

Jack was puzzled: Although Fenner of the Kingdom of Vedia threatened to destroy the Kingdom of Missus ten years ago this year, doesn't he still know whether it is true or not? Besides, would the king of the Kingdom of Missus not resist while his people are suffering? There is no reason why they are so anxious and panicked to move away.

He told Tex about the idea, and Tex shook his head helplessly and said, "Look closely. Jack looked in the direction that Tex was pointing, and except for this house, which was closer to the coast, almost all of the houses closer to the shore had collapsed to varying degrees, as if they had been caused by an external force.

Turks continued, "It was the water beasts of the sea that destroyed it, the violent sea beasts that Shes mentioned, who hunted and killed the water spirit country. Jack was surprised and speechless: "This...... This, the sea beast has also invaded the Missus!?" Turks nodded.

"Then don't you have an army in Miss?" asked Jack rhetorically, knowing that the monarch of a country would not sit idly by in the face of such a catastrophe. Who knows that Turks said: "It's useless, the strength of the army is limited after all, besides, those sea beasts did not belong to the sea, they were brute beasts of the bleak land, and the army was composed of human beings without divine power, how could they stop the attack of the sea beasts." ”

Jack fell into deep thought.

He didn't expect that he was supposed to come to find answers and hope, and the Missy Country, the country of hope that had been stationed in his heart, could not stop the killing of wild beasts. For a moment, he felt at a loss.

Tex was also silent for a long time, and found that there were too many frustrating words, so he turned to Jack and said, "Don't talk about this, since you are in our Missus country, I have to treat you well!"

Turks walked to a clearing, and Maury ran after him.

Jack didn't know what Tex was going to do, and if he wanted to beckon him to go, he didn't.

He only saw Turks looking at the sky over the Missours to the west, taking out a piccolo-like thing from his bosom, putting it in his mouth, taking a deep breath, and blowing it long.

Jack clearly saw that the head of the piccolo gave birth to a bright light, and the sound it made was not harsh, but it sounded as beautiful as Garland's fishbone flute.

The sound of the flute broke through the silence for a long time, and Jack walked over and asked what Tex was doing, and Tex smiled mysteriously and said:

"I also have my 'Thor'".
