Chapter 14: Exploring the Island
After several storms, lightning circles, and sea monsters blocking the way, the Dawn finally reached its destination after changing its direction many times.
The island that appeared in front of the Dawn looked very large, and from the ship there were no special plants or animals to be found on the shore.
It was still early, and the Dawn docked the ship in a sheltered place that could barely be used as a temporary harbor, and Bernadette asked the crew to stay on board for the time being, and disembark alone to investigate. She stepped off the deck alone, her figure disappearing from the crew's sight.
Bernadette had always believed that his father had not fallen completely, and that he should have been waiting for some opportunity, or some key item, or some help, and then he would come back to life.
This is partly because, after his father's assassination, the church and the nobility jointly destroyed the eight mausoleums built by his father, but they never found the ninth. On the other hand, it comes from the disguised proof of the wishing lamp. The only time she made a wish for the Wishing Lamp was when her father was suddenly assassinated, and she was hunted down by the church and nobles, and fled to the sea with great difficulty, she made a wish to get back all the extraordinary properties and belongings on her father after his fall. She was given some magical items that her father had with her, however, she did not receive her father's extraordinary properties.
Following in her father's footsteps and following all the plausible clues, Bernadette reasonably surmised that her father's mausoleum was not in any country on the mainland, otherwise the church would not have been able to find the ninth mausoleum to this day.
Therefore, Bernadette speculated that there were three possibilities for the last mausoleum, the abyss, the astral plane, and the unknown island. The first two are not something that can be explored by Sequence 3 by itself anyway, so Bernadette has been looking for an unknown island for so many years.
The island is rich in vegetation, with tall trees, lush low shrubs that completely shade the sky and the sun, and thick litter covering the ground where no dirt can be seen. This is typical of tropical jungles.
Bernadette's figure is illusory, in the emperor's new clothes. This state can last for a long time when it is not attacked.
The forest is not quiet, and the sounds of wild animals walking, climbing, and hunting are particularly clear in the background of insects and birds.
Many of these plants and animals are species that Bernadette has never seen, but they seem to be ordinary plants and animals, and they do not have magical powers.
Bernadette walks through the forest. Wang Zichuan floated like a spirit coming out of Bernadette's body, and if his body was round, it looked like a large balloon with a rope tied to Bernadette's body.
"This island doesn't look like there's what you're looking for."
Wang Zichuan chatted casually.
"What's the point of trying your luck to find it?"
"Why don't you ask me, maybe I'll tell you if I'm kind?"
"I said, you can't do this, I've said so much, you should at least say it."
"Okay, if you don't speak, you won't speak."
Ojikawa is bored, a silent companion is really annoying, and Anderson and Da Nizi feel the same way when they walk with Gelman.
"I think you also have some problems with the aesthetics of wearing, do you want to discuss with me how to match the clothes and skirts that Russell designed for you?"
Bernadette listened to the lantern god while paying attention to her surroundings. She found it difficult to understand why the magic lamp, which had only bewitched her to make a wish, had become like this, chattering like a retarded person.
No, I can't think of it that way, maybe it's just His trick, He must have a secret behind it.
Time passed little by little, and some of the predators in the forest targeted Bernadette, and the more delicious meat of these predators who made the wrong decision became Bernadette's dinner.
It was dark, and the cool night breeze was blowing, mixed with the salty smell of the sea and the smell of rotten plants in the forest.
Bernadette had cleared a clearing around the fire where she could rest, and after sprinkling the area with insect repellent powder, suddenly, pea vines quickly grew out of the ground, and they wrapped around the surrounding trees, quickly weaving a green hammock.
Ready to rest, Bernadette took out a small piece of tin and threw it lightly, only to see that the tin quickly expanded and grew larger when Bernadette threw it, pulling out a human form and turning into a tin iron figure with only one leg wearing a typical rune soldier's suit and carrying a spear. This tin-iron villain has a firm face and a straight posture, and his height is about the height of a teenager, although he only has one leg, he is agile. As soon as it took shape, it jumped to the edge of the clearing cleared by Bernadette, and after a while of reconnaissance, it changed to another position to continue its reconnaissance, patrolling in circles with Bernadette as a dot.
With the vigilance arranged, Bernadette lay in the pea hammock and quickly breathed evenly and fell asleep.
Wang Zichuan came out of the magic lamp again, after all, he didn't have to sleep now.
He floated around Bernardette's pea hammock and praised it as a great helper for a home trip. Then he floated up to the tin soldier and looked him up and down. The tin soldier ignored him, and took one leg as the fulcrum step by step, spun in a circle, then jumped to another position, and spun in another circle. Wang Zichuan thought it was very interesting, like a cheap plastic electric toy that he played with as a child.
After chasing the tin soldiers for a while, Wang Zichuan began to get bored again. He felt that since he became the god of lights, his life had become boring and boring, after all, without the worldly pursuits of money, fame, power, and power, life suddenly became boring.
Wang Zichuan floated a little farther away for a while, but didn't find anything interesting, so he had to go back to the same place.
The night was already deep, and the nocturnal beasts in the jungle were more active, but none of them came near this side, perhaps because they were afraid of the fire, or perhaps because of the beast's intuition, which had something terrible to stay here. And the tin soldiers are still spinning tirelessly.
Unconsciously, the fog gradually became thicker, from pale white color to a little gray black, like a sudden haze, and like a factory area lined with chimneys before the large-scale application of anthracite, wearing a white shirt and changing clothes, becoming a shirt with black spots on a gray background.
It's kind of interesting!
Looking at this obviously abnormal fog, Wang Zichuan suddenly became excited.
He looked at the tin soldiers, who were still spinning without warning. This tin soldier has an early warning effect on malice and murderous emotions and spirits, and can actively intercept the approach of physical creatures.
Bernadette's spirituality was also untouched, and she remained asleep, and there was a tendency to sleep more deeply.
This shows that this abnormal fog is not deliberately spread by humans or animals, and its source does not seem to have malicious intentions.
Wang Zichuan probed a little farther around, but found no obvious boundary, as if the entire island was shrouded in this strange fog.
He noticed that the nocturnal animals, which had been in high spirits, began to be mentally tired, sluggish, and drowsy. The large beast, which had been hiding to rest, was still sleeping, but it seemed uneasy. Only insects and ants, which have no brains, do not have any abnormal reactions.
