On the pier, the sea breeze is strong.

Franklin stepped forward and spread his arms. Zero smiled and gave him a powerful hug. It's just that Franklin is tall, and he almost hugs Zero up. The giant let go of him, stepped back and said, "Zero, my friend. Believe me, how much I wish I could accompany you on your journey, but I have a responsibility on my shoulders to say goodbye to you here today. ”

Paul had assigned a large island near the Pearl Cloister to Franklin. It could be free from the city of Rome and allow Franklin and his people to take care of themselves. Franklin had destroyed the gene pool of the Atlanteans, and there was no longer any chance of them reproducing, and Paul was glad to be generous. But because of the clan, Franklin couldn't leave them and leave with Zero, and Zero could understand this.

"It's okay, you guys can live well here. Zero patted the giant's arm and laughed.

Franklin said solemnly: "Although I can't leave with you, if the final battle comes, I hope you don't forget my friend." When the time comes, my people and I will stand side by side with you to face the deepest darkness of this world!"

"I will!" Zero said with a solemn nod.

"Then I'll wait for you!" Franklin smiled and stepped back.

Paul walked up, and without giving zero objections, hugged him tightly and said, "Friend, I don't know what to say." Anyway, when you need my help, don't hesitate to ask. ”

"Yes. Paul, before I need your help, let's do my best to develop my mecha skills. I have a gut feeling that soon, there will be a great battle waiting for us, and it will not be a matter of losing one city or one, but of the survival of all life on this planet. Zero said in a deep voice.

Paul made an exaggerated expression and said, "Don't scare me, I don't want to be the shortest-lived prime minister in the history of the city of Rome." ”

Zero Ha laughed and gave him a punch. Of course, it didn't take a little force, otherwise Paul, the new prime minister, would really have to hang up. Paul also laughed, and after laughing a few times, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll let people step up the development of mecha skills when I go back, and I hope I can contribute at the time you said." ”

"Then it's settled. Zero looked back at the Destiny, where all the supplies had been moved, and he said softly, "So, see you again." ”

"See you again, everyone......"

He looked in a certain direction towards the Canon fortress and took a deep look, but was speechless.

In that direction, you can feel the breath of Cinderella.

Then he turned around and strode towards the Destiny, jumped onto the porthole deck, and waved goodbye to the docks before entering the cabin. Coming to the command bridge, Billy and the other operators were ready, and everyone looked at Captain Zero.

Leah came to his side and grabbed his hand tightly. Zero took a deep breath and said loudly, "Set sail!"

Then the steel wings of the Destiny lit up one by one with a blue flame, and the ship turned a corner, facing the sea breeze and breaking the waves, and gradually faded away in the eyes of everyone on the dock.

"Finally gone...... Paul whispered, "really, a little reluctant to zero this guy." ”

In the Destiny, Zero naturally couldn't hear Paul's voice. Standing on the bridge of the ship, he looked at the people below who were busy adjusting various navigation parameters, and sighed in his heart. More than half a year has passed since I left the Middle-earth Continent. Now I can't wait to return to the City of Dawn to see how the city that I have pinned my hopes on is changing.

More important, of course, is the recent situation of Beonlise and others.

But there's one more thing to do before that.

"Billy, before you go back, go to a place. Zero shouted down.

A few days later, at noon, the Destiny arrived on the same island where it had met Belafar, the lord of the North Seas. It was on this island that Belafar proposed his own conditions to Zero, and because of this, Zero stayed on the Western Continent for most of the year. Now that I'm back in the same place, the island is the same. The Destiny is docked at sea, and Zero sits alone on the island of Rubber Var.

He went straight to the big lake behind the dense forest on the island, and on the edge of the big lake, the back of a short but infinite strength fell into Zero's eyes. Belafar was fishing, and this time he didn't see his pet Midori. It seemed that Zhilu Dao Zero came, and Belafar said without looking back: "It's just in time, the fish have grown fat in the past few days, so let me invite you to eat a few." ”

Zero shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to him: "You should know that I didn't come here to eat fish." ”

"Of course I know, young people nowadays, don't they even have the slightest patience?" Belafar was still carrying his trident in his hand, and one end of the trident sank into the water, and a blue beam of light shot out from between the halberds, and a large fish floated up a moment later. Where is he fishing, Belafar didn't care, picked it up with the tip of his halberd, put it in front of Zero, and said, "Come have some yusheng?"

"Thank you. "Zero rejection.

"What a serious guy, like Hamomis. Belafar honestly and unceremoniously brought the fish over, and just like that, he munched on it and ate the raw fish. As he ate, he said, "You're doing a good job, kid. As promised, your will will spread across the oceans from today. ”

"Sounds great, but if you don't mind, how about giving me something practical?"

"What do you want?" said Belafar, rolling his eyes.

Zero said, "I need some big guys that can be transported, and they should be able to tow cargo ships." As you know, there's no such thing as a good thing that can be transported by sea. ”

Although the shipbuilding skills of the western continent are good, the use of wind power and manpower two power systems can allow their ships to sail on the sea. However, that was only limited to the inner bays of the western continent, and it was impossible to sail in the open sea.

Belafar threw away the half-eaten fish, wiped a handful of blood foam from his mouth, and said, "Follow me." ”

The two of them came to the edge of the sand, and Belafar whistled with his fingers on his lips, then found a reef and sat down cross-legged. Moments later, Zero saw the waves rolling over the horizon, followed by some behemoths appearing on the horizon and swimming swiftly towards the island.

"This ...... Are they horses?" Zero couldn't believe his eyes.

In his free vision, it was not difficult to see these sea beasts that were ten meters long, and their heads held high were no different from those of horses on land. It's just that horses running on four legs on land are naturally not as big as their heads, not to mention that behind the horse's head is a prismatic belly with round sides on both sides, and on both sides are organs like fish fins, stretched out like flags.

Belafar said proudly: "This is the third generation of varieties that I have improved, and I call them ...... Seahorses!"

"Seahorse ......" Zero couldn't laugh or cry a little, these sea beasts are also apt to call seahorses, but they are far from the seahorses he knows.

There were about twenty sea beasts, and when they came to the island, they stopped and roamed in the nearby bay. They looked docile, just floating quietly on the surface of the sea, waiting for Belafar's orders.

"Don't look at their small size, they have a lot of strength, and they can drag hundreds of tons of things. Belafar said.

"Okay, so how am I going to command them?"

Belafar rolled her eyes and said, "Open your mouth." ”

"What ...... for?"

As soon as Zero asked, he saw Belafar flick his fingers, and a drop of blue blood popped out and fell into Zero's mouth. Zero's mouth was filled with a fishy smell, but Belafar's blood quickly melted, and at the same time, Zero felt that he had a little more Belafal's genes.

"Now that you have a little bit of my breath, try to communicate with them with your will. Belafar said lazily.

Zero tried, and sure enough, in his will, he gave a command to the sea beasts, and they all looked up at Zero. He nodded, as if he understood something, and swam to the Destiny one by one.

"What did you let them do?"

"I told them to go back with my boat. ”

"So you're leaving?"

"yes, what should I do if I need to contact you?" asked Zero again.

Belafar tapped the water at his feet with his trident and said, "I can hear you as far as the ocean goes." ”

"Good. Zero looked at the dwarf-like Lord of the North Seas and said, "Then, let's stop here for a while." ”

Belafar jumped up and snorted. He pointed his finger at his head and said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, boy. Mother's voice is getting louder, do you know what that means?"

"It's coming out?" Zero frowned.

"It should be. Belafar looked at the endless sea and sighed, "I have a hunch that the time is approaching for all life on this planet to fight against the water. Hopefully, before that, you'll be prepared. ”

With that, Belafar walked towards the surface of the sea, and after a few moments, disappeared from the sea.

At this moment, Zero's heart was extremely heavy.
