Release that Witch

The more you travel east, the thinner the fog, but the sky is still gloomy, as if the sun could not penetrate the sea. )]〉]〉]>??}]

The surrounding reefs are getting higher and higher, and gradually become a thick stone pillar. I don't know why, the water level is obviously falling, the ship is still very stable, and even the sea waves are reduced, calming like a windless lake.

"Why don't you wait for the seawater to completely fade before you enter the shadows?" Tilly asked inexplicably. "After all the reefs are exposed, you don't have to be afraid to hit the rocks."

“Because after the tide of the sea, we can't see the ghost red river, and it is the only way to guide the explorers to the ruins,” Thunder explained. “These pillar-like islands are not fixed, every time the tide rises and falls. The location between the islands will change. Plus most of the markers will be swallowed by the sea, so it can't be used to locate the direction."

"Ghosts... Red River?" she repeated.

"Yes. Look, this is it." The Thunder whistled and pointed to the bow.

The witches looked in the direction he was pointing. I saw a few red figures in the dark green water, and they passed by like a phantom. But very quickly, there were two or three red shadows drifting over. This time, the ashes saw the target, which was actually a whole orange-red fish.

"This is... fish?"

"The unique red-scale fish in the Shadow Islands," Thunder smiled and touched his chin. "You will see later, the true face of the ghost red river."

Gradually, more and more fish, and no longer appear in twos and threes, but gathered together, collectively swimming in the direction of the stern and looking far ahead, the ashes were shocked by the scene they saw, and more and more The more fish that flow into this torrent, the dark red line has appeared in the sea. The sailboat is clearly following this red line, and the fish pass through the bottom of the boat, and the ping-pong sound can be heard from time to time.

So, she suddenly realized that this is a strange river that does not exist in the ghost red river! As the ship continues to move forward, the densely populated fish has expanded into a parallel channel that can accommodate several boats. The dark green water is like a vane. The sailboat is like a fish on the fish. If not the opposite direction, she There is even a kind of illusion that the ship is carried by the fish.

“Why is this?” Tilly asked in surprise.

The ashes also want to ask this question. In the gray fort or other kingdoms, it is absolutely impossible to see such a scene shrouded by the fog, the gloomy sky, the odd-shaped boulder, and the "river" made up of red squid. For the first time, she was shocked by the wonders of the sea.

"Because of the main island," Thunder said, "It is like a triangular spire. There is a huge hollow in the middle of the tower. These red-scale fish like to lay eggs in the hole and reproduce the offspring. When the tide is low, the hollow is It will rise to the surface, and the perched fish will always feel the change of the water level and flock out. So just follow the ghost red river, we can reach the main island of the shadow."

"Thunder, there are huge obstacles in front! It looks like a big mountain!" the screamer shouted.

"It seems that we are coming," he shook his pipe. "Ladies, welcome to the Shadow Islands."

In a short while, the ashes also saw the appearance of the main island. As the Thunder said, it is like a few triangles. The width is narrow and the surface is very flat. It is not like natural creation. But to say that the entire tower is cut out by the population, it is too amazing. The exposed tower is almost half the size of the city, and the hollow in the middle is enough to accommodate the tower of the Hermes church.

The sea water is still retreating, the water at the top of the cave is sprinkled like a waterfall, and the submerged part is completely covered by the fish, dyeing the sea in the field of vision into a reddish, ash can not help but imagine, living in the cave I am afraid there are so many red scale fish.

Wait until the sky darkens and the seawater completely recedes to the bottom of the cave. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Thunder ordered the sailors to stop the boat and connect them to the copper piles at the entrance with thick ropes. Standing on the edge of the giant hole, you can see the opposite side of the through-hole from the two ends of the light can only illuminate a small range, the center of the cavity is almost black, people feel inexplicably suppressed.

"These piles were left when you last came?" asked the ashes.

"No," Thunder shook his head. "When I first came here, the copper piles already existed. They should all be built by the owners."

"Remains... Where?"

He smiled and pointed upwards. "On our head, we are already standing at the entrance to the ruins."

......

The next journey can only be described as incredible. The witches followed the Thunder and the pedestrians, entering from a stone gate at the bottom of the cave, and circling along the stone steps of the water. Although everyone is holding a torch, the pulsating fire is weak and small compared to the stairs that can't be seen at the end.

In the darkness of the abyss, Tilly clung to the ashes of her arms, completely without the usual calmness.

This is the princess of the princess who I know well. In the palace, the five-worship woman who always has her own thoughts and is confident in any difficulty, the biggest weakness is fear of black. Even when you go to sleep at night, you have to light a candle in the room. When escaping from the palace, if there is no condition to do so, they will be accompanied by her to sleep.

Walking in the damp and dark spire, the mood of the ashes became a lot more pleasant.

There were no evil beasts along the way, and there was no mechanism that hindered the invaders. Even if there was a long time soaking in the sea, it was estimated that it had long since failed. The only problem is that the long climb has exhausted most of the physical strength of the pedestrians, and everyone's movements have become slower and slower. When the stone steps finally came to an end, the team couldn't help but cheer.

The last level of the ruins is not a stone gate, but a metal, with a bright reflection on the torch. Thunder pushed the door with both hands, and the heavy door plate made a harsh rubbing sound and slowly opened.

The ash single-handed sword, the first to enter the room, looking around to confirm that there is no danger, then let Tilly and other witches step into the room.

As the torch was hung around the walls, a wide hall appeared in front of the crowd, but though it was wide, it looked empty and could be wiped out at a glance, and there was nothing worth pondering.

“Is this a relic?” She rubbed a stone-top table that was soaked in green by water. “Except for some stone tables and stools, there is nothing here.”

"There are really few left," Thunder nodded. "It has been sleeping on the seabed for too long. Everything except stone is difficult to preserve. I also said to His Highness Tilly, but she insisted on seeing it for herself."

"What about those red stones?" Tilly said. "Where did you find it?"

"On the ground, it was scattered all over the place, probably dozens."

However, there is nothing left now, and the ashes look down at the slippery ground where the algae have grown. The explorers who arrived here are not only one of the Thunder, but it is a strange thing to find the magic stone.

But Tilly is still full of interest. She holds the torch and carefully looks at every corner of the hall, especially in the dark, and she will let the sailors add more torches. Molly summoned the magic servant, spread out on the ground, paved the floor for everyone to rest, and the ashes followed Tilly, watching her touch it on the wall.

"Oh," Suddenly, the five kings stopped their steps. "What is this?"

The ashes looked down at her, and I saw a wall covered with green moss, reflecting some light.

Tilly reached out and tore off the green moss. I saw a piece of gems buried in the stone wall. It also showed a bright red color, and the magic stone was crystal clear and prismatic, almost the thickness of the arm~IndoMTL.com~ Gold filaments are embedded in the perimeter, like a card slot to secure it inside. Even after soaking in the sea for so long, the gold wire wrapped around the stone is still as clean as new.

Tilly tried to pull out and the jewels did not move.

"Let me come," Ashes said.

The five kings shook their heads and seemed to be thinking about something. Then she put her hand on the prism and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, the center of the prism flashed a ray of gray and thought it was a dazzling one, but soon after the wall came a rumble, it seems that some organs were touched, and soon spread to the entire hall. The stone walls were full of rubbing noises, and a group of soft white light emerged from the walls, and even the ceiling above the head lit up.

The sailors stood up in panic and pulled out their weapons, but they didn't know which side of the defense they were. They could only get back to back together and get together in the magical servant of Molly.

However, there are no monsters to rush out.

When the sound returned to calm, the hall was brightly lit. (To be continued.)
