Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The rain beat against the ship's deck, and water as cold as if it was about to freeze flowed down from the holes in the cabin, leaving puddles in the dark room.  They tried their best, but in the end they could only put the table, cabinet and bed together and huddle in the corner.

    Their good luck seems to have been completely exhausted along the way, and only the goddess of misfortune is always with them.

    Storms, waves, freezing rain except for sea monsters, they have experienced them all.  The storms stopped and came again. During the nearly half month of the voyage, they never saw what the sun looked like.  The storm has been going on for several days now and shows no signs of abating.  Through the dark hole above his head, the alchemist could not tell whether it was day or night.  There was only the howling wind, the pouring rain, and the howling like ghosts and vengeful spirits roaring at them.

    Even if those vicious pirates and smugglers all became devout believers, they could not reduce the anger of the gods.  A burst of lightning and thunder flashed in the hole, and the biting cold wind poured in and wreaked havoc in the small cabin.  They were shivering and could only huddle together to keep each other warm.

    "Could it be that your Aurora cursed us?" Rosie, who was still in the mood to joke before, was now huddled in a corner.  "I'm so cold." She murmured, "Hold me, Leo. I'mcold."

    Leo hugged her tightly.  Her illness also continued continuously, which was more worrying than the bad and abominable weather.  The side effects of the alchemical potion penetrated deeper into her body than ever before, making her resistance so weak that it could be ignored. He could only alleviate her symptoms, but could not completely cure her.  He looked up at the dark sky, wondering when this voyage would end.  He pressed his face against hers, comforting her, giving her courage and confidence, and praying that she could survive.

    "Killer, you found a good boat." He couldn't help complaining.

    The killer smiled weakly.  His appearance had not changed since a few days ago, and Leo believed that this was his original appearance.  Everyone was exhausted from the torture, let alone the magic to maintain the face-changing transformation.  Now he has an ordinary face, brown hair and brown eyes, unremarkable.  "It should be said that you provoked a good woman." He said weakly.

    Magic destroyed too many things. Not only was the hull damaged, but a city also perished. They embarked on the journey almost in despair, with no supplies, let alone repairs, and could only hope for the blessing of the goddess of luck.  However, it now seems that not only did they not get the favor of Lady Luck, but her sisters had a soft spot for them.

    "I don't feel honored at all." Leo replied with difficulty.

    His throat was hoarse, hot and stinging at one point, as if it had been torn apart by something. But it was only thanks to the rain that seemed to never stop that he was able to moisten his throat a little and get rid of the illusion of dehydration.  Although in the vision, he saw a girl in a wedding dress.  Every loss must be followed by a gain, he could only comfort himself in this way.

    "Now I know why Miss Rosie hates water." The killer forced a smile and moved in the darkness, causing a commotion around him.  They clung to each other like walruses collapsed on the beach.  "I can't wait to scoop up this ocean now" A sneeze interrupted him.

    "It's getting colder and colder." Lu Yuewu said in a trembling tone.

    Where are they heading?

    "You ask me?" the pirate leader roared at him.  The Alchemist had asked the Cyclops a week ago, when the weather was better, and he slapped the table and dropped the cup in annoyance.  "Gods above, who am I supposed to ask?" His eyes bulged outward like a frog, almost bursting with fire.  Leo had no doubt that if he disagreed, he would just draw his sword and chop him down.  "You made the deck smooth and clean!" he shouted, deafeningly.  "It's been ten years, a whole decade, and my ship has never been as clean as it is now! My captain's cabin, my observation deck, mast, sailshell, they're all gone."

    With an unobstructed view of the deck, the sailors had nothing to do.  "I know¡­¡­"

    "Then you still come to ask me!" The one-eyed dragon was furious.  "The sea chart has been swept into the sea by you. You actually come to ask me where I am now and where I am going. You might as well ask yourself."

    If he knew, he would be the captain, so how could it be the other party's turn?

    Eweila can distinguish the celestial phenomena clearly, but the night sky has never been clear, and even the slightest bit of moonlight has become a luxury.  "I don't know the direction, Leo." Iweila said uneasily. She was holding on to the side of the boat and shivering, and the cold sea breeze made her face turn purple.  "It's too cold here. It's really too cold. I don't know if it's that prophecy"

    "Winter is coming." Leo continued.

    However, the prophecy neverThey only play tricks on future generations, like a social butterfly who refuses to welcome.  She tried so hard just to take off her fig leaf, but she didn't know that the other person would still cover up her face when they got to bed, and would fight with you until your interest was gone. Then the woman suddenly threw away all the rags and rags,  Dress up elegantly.  And then you'll be scared half to death by what she really is.

    "I hope it's not like this." Iweila couldn't hide her worry, "If that's the case we will die at sea."

    "There is no doubt that the sea will freeze completely.  And they will not even be able to see the magnificent wonders.

    He didn¡¯t know how much time passed, but he was woken up by the cold in his dazed sleep.  The surroundings were getting colder and colder. He seemed to be completely frozen, his hands and feet were numb, and white breath came out of his mouth and nose.  Although all the clothes and blankets were wrapped around them, the wind and rain seemed to never stop for a moment and refused to let go of them.

    The knights and arakkoa repaired the holes, but the cold wind always found the cracks and penetrated into their bones through the gaps between the blankets and clothes.  Leo moved his body slightly and looked down at Rosie.  She curled up in his arms, her breathing steady, and he breathed a sigh of relief.  The sound of breathing in the room came and went. He raised his head and through the gap the size of a fingernail above his head, he was surprised to find: What was falling from the sky looked like snowflakes?

    The alchemist struggled to get up, left the cabin and ran onto the deck.

    The sea was as dark as ink, the strong wind rolled up black waves, and the beating hull shook unsteadily.  Thin clothes could not block the cold wind, let alone the snowflakes falling from the sky.

    "What the hell, what's going on?" He wrapped his clothes tightly, jumped to his feet and cursed.

    "It's not because of you white devils." The one-eyed dragon retorted from the side, "If we hadn't met you, we would have been enjoying women and wine now. For the moneydamn it!"

    ¡°They¡¯re a source of bad luck, Leo admits, for niggas.  "Take money to do things." But he was not polite at all.  "If you don't want to die now."

    "White Devil." The one-eyed dragon stared at him for a long time.  "If I die, you will have to bury me with us."

    Leo said coldly, "We'll talk about it then."

    They stayed on the deck in silence for a while, with the same worry and uneasiness on their faces.  But what Leo paid more attention to was the rolling sea.  He tried hard to look for signs of freezing If unfortunately Ivey was right, the coming of the cold would be as fierce and unstoppable as a tiger, and there would be no time for people to adapt.  However, the snowflakes gradually stopped unexpectedly. Under the strong wind, the dark clouds in the sky became slightly thinner, and the surrounding area became brighter.  He raised his eyes to look at the suddenly changing sky, and a black shadow flashed across the corner of his eye.

    The pirate leader next to him was already screaming¡ª¡ª

    "Land!" he roared excitedly, throwing his boat-shaped hat into the air. "It's land, damn it, it's land! Oswell, let everyone row for me! White Devil, let your men  Go too! See? That¡¯s land!¡±

    The joy of surviving a desperate situation did not go to his head. He tried his best to look out. In the dim sky, a long-lost sunlight penetrated the clouds, and then he saw the dazzling reflection on the approaching land - that  It is a magnificent beauty that can only appear in a mirror or in the snow and ice.  Leo suddenly realized that the cold had not come, but that they had found the cold.

    "We are close to Dolphin Bay." Iweila said.

    "where?"

    She turned her head, the surprise on her face not having time to fade away.  She swallowed, and the cold sweat on her forehead seemed to be turning into ice scum.  Her body was shivering from cold and fear.  "Dolphin Bay." She said calmly, "To be precise, this place already belongs to the Kingdom of Kratim. We have returned to the Western Continent, but this is north of Ainbulo."

    They are not just going in the wrong direction.  "We crossed the entire Pacific Ocean." The fact made him unbelievable.  However, not only are the ocean currents in the sea unpredictable, but the strong winds that never stop are also adding fuel to the fire.  If the gods weren't dead, Leo would definitely suspect that they were playing ghostly and shadowy tricks behind their backs.

    "This isNorthland?" Rosie leaned on Leo's arms and asked weakly.

    "Yes, the cold north."

    "Our hometown," the arakkoa Fefeido pointed to the land that was getting closer and closer, "the Orantrim Mountains are there." Nothing was seen in the direction of his finger.  But Leo knew that behind the thick dark clouds, there were towering holy mountains.  Maybe¡­¡­

    "We can also visit the Castle of Impossible Ends."

    His self-deprecation did not bring laughter.  "It's not maybe, Leo, it's that we have to go there." Ivira said seriously, "I have too many questions waiting to be answered.Same for you, right?  Also, Rosie¡¯s illness.  I've said it many times.  "She raised her hand to stop Leo's defense. "She is not just suffering from the sequelae of the alchemical medicine.  Look at her face.  "

    She squinted her eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep again.  Her hair was falling out even more, and the long hair that was as red as fire before was now sparse; her pale face had faintly evil magic lines He didn't know if this came from her magic.  .  But everything he saw made his heart ache like a knife.

    "Don't say you can't guess anything, don't say you can't see it. Don't deceive yourself, Leo." Ivey stretched out her cold hand to hold him, and said softly, "Don't take all your faults alone.  Carry it. You and I, and Lu Yuewu. We are willing to accompany you to share not only the happiness, but also the pain."
