Chapter 8: The Strange Island in the Mist

Jack was woken up by Tex, and he thought he was in Missus so soon.

It was dawn, and the sea was calmly spread like a blue cloth around their raft.

Jack didn't know why Turks suddenly woke him up, but saw Turks pointing to a far place in front of him, and he looked in the direction that Turks was pointing, and there was an island in the distance that looked like a reef.

"Remember that island, Jack, if you want to stay on the continent forever and want to learn about life in Tana...... I think you're going to know about that island in the future. ”

He didn't quite understand what Tex meant.

The island in the distance, hidden by the mist of the sea, seemed mysterious—as Turks had said.

Turks continued: "The island, which was exposed to the surface by a powerful earthquake caused by a war a thousand years ago, is rumored to be hiding all the secrets of the continent. ”

Jack was strange, he didn't want to know how the island came to be: "Then don't you know what secrets are hidden on the island, you are a Tana." Tex said with a serious expression, "I don't know. Not only do I not know, but almost everyone on this continent does not know the secrets of that island. For a thousand years, there have been people who have been going to explore the island, but they have never returned. Just like you Galans did when they returned to Tana. ”

Realizing that he had poked Jack in the sore spot, Turks paused, "Perhaps, there is something terrible on that island, and perhaps, it is just the same god-like worship of the things that the Garland ancestors feared Tana because of the unknown, and what they don't understand!"

Jack, who didn't know what to answer, looked confused. Turks suddenly said these words, I don't know what they meant, why did they say that they would come to this island in the future? Since they said that those who went there never returned, wouldn't they be sent to death if they went by themselves?

"Since no one has ever come out of that island, why do you think you want me to go?" asked Jack.

Tex had a serious expression, looked at the island, then at Jack, and said slowly: "Maybe you will encounter many things on this continent in the future, and there will definitely be things that I can't explain to you, but legend has it that the secret of that island can explain all the problems of Tana, because it is the origin of Tana." ”

Although the island he heard from Turks was a very dangerous place, Jack still couldn't hide his excitement: "Then why don't we stop by and have a look?"

Turks didn't understand what he said at first, and when he reacted, he was stunned: "I thought it ...... You're not going to ...... Aren't you really afraid of death?" Jack smiled lightly, "Turks, to be honest with you, when our Garland's fleet was shipwrecked in the sea and I was the only one left, I took life and death lightly. ”

Turks looked at Jack and saw that there seemed to be a divine light shining on him above Jack's head: "People always die, then you have to see why he died, if I sacrifice my life for the future Garlanders, to get rid of the restrained life at sea and return to the mainland, then my death is worth it." Jack added.

Turks watched Jack's expression change from ease to determination, and he began to admire this amazing Garland boy from the bottom of his heart.

The sun is gradually rising at sea level, and the weather is a little cool when the morning sun first comes out, but now the temperature is slowly rising, and there is no wind, and the sea is very quiet.

Jack has been eating grilled dried fish for the past few days, a little tired, and felt bored, so he said to Murray: "Little Black, are you tired of eating this stinky fish every day", this Murray was still lying quietly in front of the raft in a daze, hearing the word "Little Black", he immediately raised his head, and made a "roar" sound in his throat, and a flame burst out from all over his body, and his eyes looked directly at Jack.

Jack was nervous by this too exciting gaze, and he joked to the point: "Forget it, you can't understand it anyway...... Oh, Turks, what's that island called?"

Jack suddenly remembered that before he could ask the name of the island he was going to in the future, he turned to Tex and asked. Tex, who was holding a wooden paddle on the side, hesitated, reacted and said to Jack:

"Oh, the island we just saw, we all call it 'Hell Island.'"

Jack Muran.
