In the center of the quaint bedroom is a four-poster bed with rose-colored bedding and lavender-colored curtains.

Rove sat cross-legged on the bed and flattened an old parchment chart with faded lines on his side.

One of the corners was warped from the long roll, and he picked up a wooden comb that Shirley had placed on the bedside table and gently pressed the chart.

After a while, there was a slight sound of the door opening, and a girl in a light-colored nightdress gently pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.

She came to the bed, glanced at the bedside table, sighed softly, and asked, "Rove, have you seen my comb?" ”

Rove looked up at Shirley, who had obviously just taken a shower, and her body was still exuding heat, her long wet burgundy hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her cheeks were as white as snow, a little red, and she was as delicate as a peach blossom.

It's beautiful.

Rove sighed heartily, then pointed to the comb holding the parchment and said, "Here it is." ”

Shirley reached out and picked up the wooden comb, and the corner of the parchment was cocked again, and she was about to press the comb back, when Rove took it and smiled:

"It's fine. Sit down, I'll help you comb it. ”

Shirley hummed softly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Rove sat behind her, his fingers running through his damp hair, and suddenly the mist rose, and the long water-soaked hair dried in an instant.

The young man's slender fingers twisted up a strand of silky hair, he sniffed the fragrance between the strands of hair affectionately, and then held a comb in his hand and carefully combed the long burgundy hair.

Shirley, idle, picked up the parchment chart on the bed and looked at it intently.

This chart is from the ghost ship that was encountered in the Atlantic Ocean two years ago, and it shows the location of Avalon.

However, instead of focusing on the legendary island, Shirley stared at the animal drawings scattered around the island.

It was a group of hideous-looking sea monsters, so lifelike they seemed to roar out of the parchment.

Next to the drawings, there are also small notes with their names written on them:

North Sea Monster, Leviathan, Calybdis, Ray Cass, Vortex, Sea Kirin......

Some of these names are unfamiliar, but some are familiar, such as ...... Leviathan.

When she was very young, she saw this name in the book of Job when she was studying the Bible with her grandmothers in a convent.

According to the Bible, on the sixth day of creation, God created two monsters, one male and one female, the female being the sea-dwelling Leviathan, and the male being Behemoth (the Behemoth) of the land-threatening land.

At that time, Shirley was only five or six years old, naively thinking that Leviathan really existed, so she was particularly afraid of water.

Later, when she grows a little older, she learns that the Leviathan is a fictional monster that does not exist in reality.

At the age of eleven, when she learned that magic and magical creatures existed, she thought that the Leviathan was a magical creature that really existed in the world.

However, when she entered Hogwarts, she discovered that the Leviathan did not exist in the magical creature books.

Now, looking at this chart, the Leviathan seems to exist again...... It's really with the continuous enrichment of life experience, the perception of one thing is also constantly reversing!

As if he knew what Shirley was thinking, Rove brushed the comb through her silky hair and whispered:

"These magical creatures are actually just legends, just like the kingfishers, and no wizard has ever photographed them or captured them."

"Let's say it's a legend, and there are countless sightings from ancient times to the present.

The North Sea Monster has the most recorded records, and all eyewitness accounts are similar, saying that it is an octopus-looking animal, more than 100 meters in size, larger than any magical creature in existence. ”

Shirley turned her head slightly, and said to Rove behind her in a puzzled tone:

"The North Sea is so shallow, can it really survive a North Sea monster more than a hundred meters high? You can even hide without being found by a wizard. ”

That's the point!

The North Sea is a sea on the northeastern edge of the Atlantic Ocean, located between the islands of Great Britain, Scandinavia, Jutland, and the Dutch-Thane Lowlands.

The total sea area is not small, close to 600,000 square kilometers, but except for the area close to the southwest tip of Scandinavia, the water depth is between 200~800 meters, and the water depth of most sea areas does not exceed 100 meters.

A 100-meter-tall North Sea monster lives in the North Sea, just like a great white shark living in a pool several meters deep!

And according to the depiction of the chart, there are more than a dozen magical creatures that can rival the North Sea Monster, living in this sea area.

Not to mention that the shallow pool in the North Sea can't raise so many sea monsters, and even if they can be raised, it is impossible to hide so secretly.

But in fact, the International Federation of Wizards has searched the North Sea many times, but has not found the North Sea Monster or other legendary magical creatures.

Newt had also lived in the North Sea for two and a half years, and had seen nothing except a magical animal suspected of being a kingfisher.

However, Rove also has his own speculation about this, and he said softly:

"Although these magical creatures live in the North Sea, they may not be in the same spatial latitude as the North Sea where we are located."

Shirley pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "You mean...... Where are Avalon and these magical creatures, like a mystical illusion? ”

"That's right." Rove looked appreciative and nodded, "So, even if Micella takes this chart and searches all over the North Sea, he can't find Avalon." ”

He dropped the comb and hugged Shirley from behind, then rested his chin gently on her slender shoulders and looked at the chart in her hand.

However, Rove's eyes first saw the girl's delicate collarbones and exposed snow-white skin.

Looking down, the collar of the light-colored nightdress obscured the most important peak view.

But from the bulging round arc, it can be seen that although it is not spectacular, it is already quite large-scale.

Looking down again, he saw that under the light hem of Shirley's pale skirt, two seductive legs that were as smooth as clotted fat and as tender as fine lotus roots, they were tightly pressed together, stretching straight forward.

Rove inadvertently captured this beautiful picture from top to bottom, and he was stunned for a while.

Although Shirley had her back to Rove, her body was extremely sensitive, and she could feel the teenager staring at her in a daze.

She was a little embarrassed for a while, and asked softly, "Rove...... What are you looking at? ”

Only then did Rove come back to his senses, and with difficulty he put his gaze on the parchment, and whispered, "I'm ...... Look at the map. ”

Shirley didn't expose the teenager either, just blinked her moist eyes, turned her head sideways and smiled at him, "I...... Somewhat sleepy. ”

"Then sleep." Rove let go of Shirley and smiled, "We're going to get up early tomorrow to see the sunrise." ”

Shirley asked in a soft voice, "But in this house, there is only this one bedroom, didn't you prepare a bedroom for me?" ”

"Ah, no?" As if he had only known, Rove was surprised:

"I wrote to Captain Carlos that we had two people and needed two bedrooms, did he forget?"

Shirley bit her thin lip and smiled, "It's okay, there is also a room in the box, I'll just go back there and sleep." ”

"I'm afraid not." Rove grimaced.

"Why?"

"When you take a shower, I'll go back to the box and get the map." Rove sighed:

"One of the sniffers took the opportunity to escape, locked the box, and stole the key, and I haven't caught the sniffer yet...... You're not going to be able to get into the box tonight. ”

Rove's face was solemn, and he quickly raised a smiling face and said softly:

"That's it, Shirley...... You can sleep here tonight, anyway, this bed is quite big, not cramped at all. ”

The girl turned, her slender and charming eyebrows bent, and she smiled softly at Rove, who showed his fox tail.

Before Shirley could speak, Rov had already taken her in his arms, and then carried her to the bed, and with a slight hook of his right foot, he pulled up the rose-colored futon and covered them with them.

The parchment map floated in the wind, rolled up in mid-air, and finally landed lightly on the ground.
