Chapter 20 The Central Idea of Fish

"Is that good?" asked Xi Ke suspiciously. He also thought that there should be some earth-shattering performances, at least not quieter than the explosion of the Lost Island.

The shipowner, Lophis, laughed, "Powerful magic is simple. From this point on, Lord Moronis is a monster as powerful as Salalas. 」

"Then let's go back to the ship. Captain Naringer said, "King Moronis, could you please open your mouth and let us get out of the boat?"

King Moronise did not answer.

Syk also asked, "Lord Moronis, can you hear me?"

Still no answer.

Namo asked, "Could it be that there really is something wrong with the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Impossible!" the shipowner, Lophis, denied with some annoyance.

At the top of the room, the shipowner, Lophis, had spoken to it, and the crumpled crump shaped like a bud slowly opened. It turned out to be a constricted hole. The hole grew larger and larger, with a diameter of more than two meters. The rumbling sound gradually became louder from a small time, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the water column rushed out of it!

Xi Ke immediately raised the herb bag above his head. Nemmoura grabbed Lisna. The ship's owners, Lofes and Captain Naringe, also took a pose ready to withstand the impact of the current. The hole is still getting bigger, and the water is not flowing out as fast as it is coming in, and the water level is rising all the time. The water covered their faces. Strangely, the water gives them the impression that it is like a stereoscopic image. It looked like it had drowned them, but the skin couldn't feel the water. There's some kind of substance around them, but there's a layer of something between that substance and them, so it's not like water. The shipowner, Lophis, first tried to inhale, and when he found that he could breathe, he glanced at the others, and everyone began to breathe in the water.

King Moronise spoke with his mind, "Let me send you back. 」

The water was full of swirling bubbles, and the vision was blurred. The rumbling sound of the water kept ringing, like the roar of a giant beast coming through the earth's crust in the center of the earth, and it was like thousands of thunderbolts falling from the sky in the distance at the same time. With his feet off the ground, he began to float in the water, he swung his limbs, but he wasn't swimming, and he couldn't swim. His movements are like flying, and all the fish are flying in the sea.

In a matter of seconds, he seemed to touch the central idea of the fish, which is not the truth that humans know, it contains no logic, and it is certainly not faith, the central idea of the fish is the water, the bubbles, the sound, and everything else.

Rick remembered that he had told Serene that the Brilliant Fish lived seriously, but did not think about dreams and the future. The central idea of fish is thoughtless for humans, and shijie for fish.

That's really not faith, because the fish's shijie has no faith, only shijie itself.

They don't look for the meaning of life, they try to live as long as shijie exists.

Meaning is superfluous, faith is superfluous, goals are superfluous, dreams are superfluous.

Everything that would be terrible to lose for humans is superfluous for fish.

That's the central idea of fish. It can only be explained by elimination. Because there are no words in these human shijie that can represent this "no" thought. The life that is abundant in "nothing" is something that cannot be grasped by thinking in all the languages of human beings.

If I had to compare it to the closest experience in his life, it would be the moment of immersion in reading. The fish reads the water, he reads.

The current slowed down, and when Rick surfaced, he found himself next to the Murge. The fisherman lowered the rope ladder for the shipowner, Lopis, to climb up, followed by Lysna, Syke, and Nemo.

Rick saw the Liberty lying next door, and Captain Naringer had arrived on the ship, standing on an almost horizontal railing, giving orders to prevent the water from running where it shouldn't. Some large magical floats appeared on the downward side of the Liberty, and there was also a lot of black fog on the upward side, and the two sides worked together to slowly turn the ship right.

Although he had just come up from the water, he was not wet. The water level continued to rise, the Merger floated, and the Liberty turned completely positive.

Captain Felena came up to the main deck and asked, "What is the situation now?"

"We're leaving, and Lord Moronis will let us out. With that, the shipowner, Lopis, ran into the cabin with Captain Felena and went to find the captain and chief engineer, Carlo. Nemo and Lisna followed, to say hello to the captain.

Seren, standing near the rope ladder, was about to open his mouth to speak to Syk when he suddenly reached out and pressed his ear. Everyone heard what King Moronis said. He became like a serarathlon, able to communicate with people anywhere.

"Take it. To me, these things are just stones piled up in my body, but for humans, they can hang signs with prices written on them. I'm giving you these things in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone. 」

Elemental crystals appeared out of thin air, raining down on the two ships. The people on the deck opened the mouth of the water tank on the main deck, and swept the elemental crystals into it with all kinds of equipment as best they could, and the people in the cabin removed the water tank and took a special box to pick it up at the bottom, and one box after another was quickly filled, and kept changing another empty box to come up.

Translucent non-contrasting polyhedron of various colors rolls on the deck. Rose, grass green, goose yellow, some as big as a fist, some as small as a fingernail, and suddenly a melon the size of a melon landed on the deck. If it weren't for the magic enhancement of Captain Ferena, eighty percent would have smashed several places. These crystals are uniform in color and free of impurities, making them the highest quality elemental crystals.

Unlike fishermen, who wear hard hats at all times, they put on when they first shed small crystals. Rick was smashed several times by marble-sized crystals. Before he could cast a protective spell, Serenra raised the knight's cloak over the two of them.

Hiding under Seren's cloak, Xike listened to the sound of the impact on the cloak, and saw Seren's expression of watching the crystal rain with great interest, and Xike sighed deeply.

After the crystal rain stopped, the Merger and Liberty sailed with the current. The water was moving faster and faster, and suddenly, the sound they were making no longer echoed and sounded like they were entering an open space. Syk looked in the direction of the stern of the ship and saw that they had left the body of Lord Moronis. Closing the cave of the great splendor of the fish's mouth, Rick saw the appearance of King Moronis.

In the starless and moonless darkness, the colorful body of King Moronis appeared on the water, as if he had built a palace of jewels on the water, as if the stars in the sky were attached to him, and the lights of the palace were not extinguished.

The brilliant fish, which was too big to be seen, poked its catfish-like head out of the sea, waving its beard like crystals, as if waving to them and saying zaijian. He dived into the water and swung his trout-like tail above the water, reflecting a burst of light from the thousands of diamonds set on it.

The two ships were lifted high and lowered by the waves caused by its movements, and a message from King Zuihou of Moronis was sent to everyone on board: "O human beings, cherish your language. Whether it's heart and soul communication, body language, eye gaze, or the narrowest language, it's all a tool for you to share your culture and experiences with others. Communicate, as long as there is a glimmer of thought that someone wants to know what they expect, who wants to know him, as long as they are still curious about human beings, this is what you should do. Keep translating, working hard to get a sense of the limits, blind spots, and uniqueness of your language, until you can understand the thinking behind each language. 」

Then King Moronise dived deeper and deeper, until the brilliance of his body could no longer penetrate the sea. He left.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Merger and Liberty stayed for six hours, intending to wait for the Sun Sphere to rise above the surface before sailing.

It was a fantastic night. After a long toss, everyone was tired, but there was no way to calm down and rest. After receiving the guidance signal and confirming that the ship was located near the standard shipping channel, and that there was a large maritime police station not far away, everyone relaxed.

I don't know who started it, but it may have been the captain's order, and a banquet was held to celebrate everyone's safe escape from the Lost Island and King Moronis's belly. The cook cooked a lot of food and took it to the main deck. The crew moved boxes and used them as tables for food. The ship's liquor was taken out and opened. Originally, there was no alcohol during the voyage.

Every light was turned on and the deck was brightly lit. Everyone eats, drinks, and laughs loudly.

The shipowner's beloved radio was now taken out and hung by the hatch, turned on to the loudest pitch, playing Etal's pop music.

The captain took the glass and announced that the crystal storage was too full to fit any more elemental crystals, and that the Silent would return to Altaro as soon as it was dawn.

There was a churning cheer from the deck. It was so loud that the crew of the Liberty next door crowded to the side of the ship to watch. Influenced by the joyful atmosphere of the Murgeon, it was not long before the Liberty also held a deck banquet. The crew on both sides toasted across the sea and exchanged food on the bridge. There were also people on the Liberty who poured the whole bottle of wine into the sea to worship the god of the sea.

Wick took a large plate of brown chicken thighs and wings, sat on the railing of the upper deck, faced the direction of the main deck, and placed the plate cross-legged in the middle, enjoying the food from the crowd.

He saw the whole ship scrambling to toast the navigator Felena and the interpreter Oger, wishing them a dozen babies. Most of the toast was done by Captain Felena. The translator Og only took a symbolic drink. Xi Ke can imagine that this couple has a high probability of being the female protagonist and the male protagonist in the future, but only this man can make this woman obedient.

Chief Engineer Carlo also rarely took a break, but the position of Chief Engineer was too important to deal with emergencies at any time, so he still didn't drink. He held the whole minced meat pie in his hand, and ate it without cutting it, crying while looking at pictures of children. If this super harvest is successfully fetched at auction, the dividends may be enough to pay off his debts, and he will be able to leave the ship and return to his family. Since elemental crystallization has always been in short supply in the market, and King Moronise has given a grade that can be met but not sought, in addition to the immediate needs, there will be many people who will buy them in advance for later use, which is very likely to be realized.

Rick was a little sleepy, and his head began to fog. He was still a little incredulous that so much had happened in the past seven days since Serene had come aboard. Now that everything is calm again, it looks like there is a beautiful ending.

The shipowner, Lofes, sneaked close to the radio and changed the pop music to Norcaste, only to be heckled to throw chicken bones at him, and he had to change it back with a wry smile.

Captain Felena brought back her loved ones, Captain Lopis reached the mission of the Magical Holy Capital, Chief Engineer Carlo was finally able to see the time of return, Captain Naringer received news of a crew member of Zuihou, and Sarastroon was freed.

He found that he had come to believe that there was something strange about people like paladins, in addition to being physically strong.

When this paladin was on this ocean, the biggest evil in this ocean, Shili Mystery Island, was completely destroyed.

It's a coincidence that so many things happen together.
