Chapter 338: The Coming Wind
The sun is soft and warm.
Seagull Island, once occupied by the Ice Witch, has such a comfortable and pleasant climate that it doesn't feel real. Ivan remembered that night when the wind was accompanied by the waves, and he saw the island from afar, like a cold prison, and he stood on top of the fragile boat, the ice floes rising and falling.
But now, he felt that the air here was warmer than that of Banba Island, the mountain walls sheltered from the cold and wet sea breeze, and the cheerful chirping of seabirds sounded overhead. Sunlight shines through the treetops of the cedar forest in the calm village, and the copper stove burns warmly, reflecting the solid stone walls. Ivan heard the noise that seemed to be on the other side of the mountain wall, and he looked up at the towering mountain wall, still thinking that the silhouette resembled a flock of seagulls taking off.
"Ahh
Aisha ran out of another house wrapped in a thick fur winter coat, "Really, you'll ...... if I don't look at you for a while"
"What's going on?" Ivan was in a trance. He remembered that he, along with Aisha and the Silver Wolf, was in the bitterly cold waters, facing the huge Ark of Glaciers and the Witch Sloth on the Ark. He remembered Sloss's stunned face, without a hint of ferocity, as pure as an ordinary girl
What happened after that, he only had an impression of one thing. I don't know when, but Master Laxis Flotica stood beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You're awake, then I'll go back first." ”
Then he nodded in confusion and shuddered. Then he fell asleep. He didn't have the strength to think about what had happened, and when he awoke again, he found himself lying in a strange but very warm room, with a burning stove and a warm bearskin on the quilt, and he had changed into dry clothes.
"This is Seagull Island, and Lord Laxis brought us here, Lord Laxis...... Rescued us from the sea. Aisha said, looking up suddenly, and a sudden flush on her cheeks. "That. Hurry back to the bed, I, I'll pour some hot water for you......"
"Ugh. ”
In a moment's stupe, Aisha had already run back.
"Ivan!"
A stone path ahead. The figure of the little wolf flashed.
"How are you? The man named Laxis said you're okay. I see you're still very pale!" the little wolf quickened his pace. But after running a few steps, his breath became a little short, "I asked the seagull to deliver a letter to Lockephonde today, and Lockonde agreed. It's all arranged!"
What.
Ivan was a little baffled, Lockeonde, what's wrong with Lockephonde?
"Hey, are you frozen? or is it your magic or something?" the little wolf raised his leather-gloved hand and shook it in front of Ivan's eyes. Ivan frowned, and subconsciously took a step back to avoid it.
"I ...... It's okay, but ......" he turned his head to look around, although it was obviously a small village, but he didn't see the villagers living here, "Have I slept for a long time?"
"No, it's not a long time, it's only been a day. The little wolf smiled, "I knew you wouldn't be sleeping for long, and that Luxus said you were fine." ”
Despite all that, the little wolf didn't seem to be at ease and kept staring at him. Aisha ran out with a kettle full of hot water, and as soon as she saw the little wolf, she immediately pursed her mouth.
"Little wolf, why haven't you gone back yet? ”
"I'm going back with Ivan. The little wolf said very naturally, "Hey, if you're okay, come back to the crescent castle with me, there are few people on this island, and now they are moving away again, I have been busy with them for a while, and they don't know the way." ”
She naturally turned to Ivan.
"So you can just go back, what if they get lost? here, here I can do it!" Aisha puffed out his chest.
"Well, Ivan, Lord Laxis said that it would be best to let the residents who had previously been slaves of Sloth live with the Nome for a while, although they don't want to move out, but only for a while, Lord Laxis is worried that someone will come to investigate......" Aisha seemed to remember something, and turned to Ivan to explain.
"Where's Mistress Nalaxis?" Ivan was slightly worried. All he remembered was that he was unconscious underwater, and that Laxis had saved them and taken them to Seagull Island, and that Laxis must have known what had happened to Sloth.
He had condensed all his magic and thrown it away, but he didn't know anything after that. Sloth ...... Is she dead?
"Mistress Laxis has returned. Aisha replied, "She said that it would be good for her not to go again." Mistress Laxis also said don't tell anything that happens here, huh...... Let's just say we've been staying with the Nome and don't know where Sloth is. ”
Ivan was stunned for a moment, his head still a little groggy, he raised his hand to support his chin, and pondered.
Laxis seems to know the secrets of the Ghost Isles!
Was she doing this to protect the special inhabitants of the island?, however, Laxis hurried back without even saying an explanation, leaving behind so many mysteries. The reason she came alone, the battle between her and Sloth, what she saw underwater...... She didn't say anything.
"I see. Ivan nodded.
"I won't say it either!" the little wolf raised his right hand high, "the silver wolf won't say it either, I'll tell them all." ”
Ivan thought that if the Wizard Alliance really sent someone to investigate this archipelago, I was afraid that the fact that Sloth had been hiding here would not be able to hide it, and even if he didn't say it, it would be useless. But since Laxis has arranged it this way, I still believe that she is better. He had fainted, and the silver wolf had been frozen into ice, leaving Essia submerged in the extremely cold waters, if not for Laxis...... They're all going to die then, right?
"Silver Wolf, how is he?" Ivan felt that Silver Wolf was no better off than him, but it seemed that Silver Wolf had woken up.
"He came back to life. The little wolf stuck out his tongue, "When Laxis brought him to the boat, he was frozen and scared to death! That Laxis gave us several little balls that would heat up, hey Ivan, I heard Isha say that you killed the witch, didn't you?"
The wolf's eyes lit up like fire.
"Me?" Ivan's heart sank suddenly. He vaguely remembered his hand moving. Why does it feel "unlikely" like this?
"Okay, little wolf, don't ask!" Aisha suddenly stretched out her hands holding the kettle, and stuck between the little wolf and Ivan, "Ivan, you take it!" She hung her head between her arms and shoved the kettle into Ivan's hand, her tone seemed to be very annoying.
"Okay, then I'll leave that at that. Ivan, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go get you something to eat, the pirates have cooked you fish soup. "The little wolf easily compromised. She turned and walked towards the house where Aisha had come, and Aisha hurriedly got up and caught up with the wolf.
"Don't bother the little wolf......" Aisha tugged at the little wolf's sleeve as she pulled it aside. Ivan looked at the backs of the two of them in a daze, and between the palms of his hands, the kettle was very warm and warm. He remembered Aisha not hesitating to turn around to rescue the trapped silver wolf, remembered Sloss's raised face, remembered Laxis's vague greeting.
A qiē is like a dream.
Ivan took a deep breath of the warm air soaked in the breath of the sun, silently feeling the reality of life. Perhaps, Slos really died, he survived. He had a vague sense that this was a miracle. If this is true, it must be...... Wendy of Heaven gave him strength.
Hopefully, after this, they'll be safe too, whether it's him, Aisha, the little wolf, Laxis, or the silver wolf. Ivan didn't trust these demon half-blood descendants very much before, but when he experienced life and death with them, he actually began to hope that these unaccepted "people" could live well.
However, the sound of flapping wings woke him from his thoughts.
Flocks of unknown grey seabirds flew into the sky, and a rustling sound sounded at the far end of the cedar forest, it was the coming wind.
