Whispering Verse

"According to Miss Elise, the battle between gods at the beginning of the fifth era was the battle between the god of the ocean and the [Dragon-eating Demon]. Regardless of whether either side left anything behind, they should be fighting against the dragon and the dragon-eating demon. Ocean related.

Walking towards the busy trestle, stop at the far end of the trestle and look at the sea:

"Dragon, I only have [Red Dragon Power] and gloves; in terms of the ocean. The guardian of the fishmen - the divinity of the Lord of the Scarlet Spiral, the controller of the ocean storm - the divinity of the furious storm, the original drowned person - the deep sea drowner The divinity of the Lord of the Dead has been devoured by me.”

Shade preferred to call them the "Three Evil Gods of Coldwater Port", and the cults of these three evil gods seemed to have appeared in the Moon Bay area, but they were not very common.

Holding the gloves and using [Red Dragon Power], he closed his eyes and listened, but as expected, he heard nothing. Then I emptied my mind and felt the ocean in front of me.

Although Shade has never mastered any power related to the "ocean" except "water walking" and "underwater breathing", it is probably because he really has this talent, or the ocean itself does not exclude him. All one could hear was the rise and fall of the tide, and then the sound seemed to turn into sweet music. All senses except hearing seemed to have lost their function, and when Shade's soul gradually forgot the sounds in his ears, his soul touched the tide in front of him, and the water accepted Shade's soul.

The divinity of the ocean gods has entered the souls of strangers one after another, and the souls that have been contaminated by the breath of the sea are also regarded as companions by the ocean. The ocean, which is infinitely larger than the human body, did not allow the "small" soul to merge with it. Instead, it gently caressed him and surrounded him with joy. In the end, it almost appeared in front of Shade, who had his eyes closed. It looked vaguely like a humanoid.

Shade couldn't describe the feeling at this moment, and he couldn't tell what the blurry figure was. The sound of tide and wind blew gently by my ears, almost whispering, and finally turned into an understandable sentence:

"Please save Moon Bay."

"What?"

He wanted to hear it more clearly, but the current surrounding him and the feeling of being almost one with the sea at that moment disappeared like the ebb of the tide.

When he opened his eyes in an extremely disappointed manner, he was immediately hit by the dazzling sunset in front of him and squinted his eyes again. The sun sank below the sea level, and the rays of the setting sun reflected on the sea surface were still brilliant. He seemed to have stood here for a long time. When he realized this, the noisy sound of the pier in his ears sounded again like a curtain in a theater.

[Outlander, you have been exposed to "miracle" and "enlightenment", and you have some insights into the "ocean". 】

After a slight pause, the gentle voice continued:

[Outlander, you have obtained the temporary status "Blessing of the Sea". Within two months, you can move in the ocean and coastal areas, your physical and spiritual recovery speed will increase, and your luck will increase. 】

"The sea is gentle, right?"

Before Shade could think about these gains, another slightly familiar voice sounded in his ears, and he realized that while he was standing on the trestle "in a daze", someone actually came to him.

Turning his head to look, Miss Elisa with black hair and blue eyes, or "Miss Glory", turned to look at him with a smile.

The setting sun dyed her beautiful long black hair with orange luster. She tilted her head slightly, then winked at Shade:

"You know, when you smile at girls, you are actually casting a charm on them."

But the way she looked at this moment was clearly showing off her charm.

"Good evening, Miss Elisa, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Although Shade was stunned for a moment, he immediately responded with a smile. But he realized that the other person didn't seem to want him to smile, so he suppressed the smile again.

The smile on the blue-eyed girl's face became even more obvious:

"I didn't avoid you on purpose. Why are you so surprised to meet me again?"

She clasped her hands behind her back and turned her head to look no longer at Shade, but at the evening sea where seagulls were circling:

"People in many areas believe that life is born in water, so it must return to water. The intention of death has always been inseparable from water. At the same time, people living along lakes, coasts, and rivers are more or less They all have passed down some traditions about water burial. And the sea is really beautiful."

The girl with her hands behind her back faced the sunset, her long black hair swaying slightly in the wind. The long skirt was rustling in the wind on the pier, and the waistline accentuated a figure that Agelina could not even imagine.

"The sea is indeed beautiful, but it is also very dangerous for ordinary people, especially during shipwrecks and storms."

Shade said this deliberately, but Miss Elisa smiled and did not continue the sentence:

"Did you successfully complete the last mission?"

"Yes, a lonely child longs for maternal love. But what she longs for is not much. The bedtime stories her mother tells before going to bed are enough to satisfy her. Children are never greedy, and those small wishes are not complicated. "

Shade took out the silver anchor jewelry, and Miss Elise nodded:

"Very good, very good. Then as agreed, let me tell you more information about Moon Bay."

She looked at the sea:

"Not only are you looking for something, the followers of the great one are also looking for the remaining traces of the divine war in Yuewan City for the next plan. Don't ask me what the cultists have planned. I don't know everything. .”

Shade thought for a while:

"That great one was a witness to the war between gods at the beginning of the fifth era. He should know what was left of the gods at that time. Why are the cultists still looking for it?"

There is no such thing as "amnesia" for God.

"Because it was not the god who swallowed the dragon who sealed those traces."

The blue-eyed girl replied. Seeing that Shade wanted to ask again, she smiled and shook her head:

"I was not a witness to that divine war. I can only tell you that there must be some remnants of that major event, but I don't know how to get in touch with those traces."

She continued to look at the sea in front of her:

"Such a charming ocean. I just don't know if this ocean will remain like this after the upcoming disaster in Yuewan City subsides."

"What kind of disaster will Yuewan suffer?"

"Remember? I can only tell you one piece of information at a time, and don't think that I know everything. I'm not that omnipotent."

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed again:

"However, if you want, I can teach you interesting thaumaturgy instead of giving you information next time we meet. Are you interested in transfiguration? I can tell you how to turn into a fish."

Shade shook his head hastily. With a pet cat at home, he would never learn how to turn into a fish. Based on Shade's understanding of the cat who is lazy, eats soft things and is afraid of hard things, and although it looks smart, it is actually not very smart. Once little Mia has the illusion of "Ah, he is weaker than me", the orange and white cat Kittens really think of themselves as the real masters of their home.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'm not interested in turning into a fish. I'll just give you information next time."

"You don't see the benefit of the fish. The fish doesn't have to worry about sinking before it dies. Go ask him about this mission. It has something to do with his child."

The blue-eyed girl turned around and pointed at the man who was unloading two heavy sacks from the ship. The man was not far from the end of the trestle where they were. Because he was busy with his head down, he didn't seem to notice the two of them at all.

"I understand, but I also want to ask about the Radiant Messenger."

Shade saw her intention to say goodbye:

"I have some very important things, and I must know the truth about the Radiant Messenger before I can complete it."

He looked at the girl who was close at hand. It was not that Shade had never seen blue eyes before. Dr. Schneider, Helen and Grace all had blue eyes, but only by staring into Miss Elisa's eyes could Shade feel like he was It is looking at the sea that appears calm but is actually rough.

The setting sun left traces on her profile, and the girl seemed to be thinking:

"You can accomplish your own things on your own, so why do you ask me for help?"

"But I really don't know why the Radiant Messenger sank."

Miss Elise covered her mouth and laughed:

"How can those of us who live in the Sixth Age know the cause of the sinking of the 'unsinkable ship' of the Fifth Age? If you want to know, you should ask people who have experienced these things."

After speaking, he shook his head playfully:

"I almost forgot, you can't find anyone like that now."

"Can you really not find it?"

"Don't question girls' ideas easily. It's very rude. Those who are blessed by the sea, the sea will also help you. Don't look to me for answers. The answers lie in the other direction."

She waved goodbye to Shade in a good mood and walked along the trestle toward the pier. She looked like an aristocratic lady from a well-born family, so her outfit was incompatible with the dock, but no one noticed her. When the porters carrying sacks blocked Sha De's view of her, she completely disappeared from Sha De's eyes.

"The time key that was supposed to be used this morning to seek answers from the Fifth Era should be opened tomorrow morning."

The man chosen as the mission target by Miss Elise was still carrying goods from the cargo ship docked next to the trestle. If Shade saw it correctly, the ship was full of grain.

He was originally thinking about how to approach and strike up a conversation, but even as a "travel writer" he rashly inquired about other people's children, which seemed very abrupt. Fortunately, things went more smoothly than Shade thought, and Miss Eleser was sent away. While he stood there thinking, a boy holding an iron lunch box and wearing a patched gray hat quickly ran over.
