Chapter 563 Joan
Eddy Sea, Fiordland Islands.
There was a heavy fog on the sea, and the ship seemed to be walking in the clouds, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front, back, left, and right. Obviously, the group of people left Xuelang Island not long ago, but at this time the island has disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed at all. Except for the sound of water splashing on the bottom of the boat, which made Margaery realize that they were still moving forward, there was no other object that could be used to locate the direction.
Going to sea in fog is a taboo for the crew.
If other captains asked to do this, they would have been tied up by the sailors and thrown into the sea.
But the captain of the Chase was Thunder, the most famous explorer of the fjords.
As long as it is where he wants to go, there will be someone willing to follow, even if the front is the entrance of the bottomless abyss, or the depths of active lava.
"The reef is ahead, my lord!" shouted the sailor who was familiar with the place.
"Lower the sails, move forward slowly," Lei Ting clapped his hands, "Everyone keep an eye on the surrounding area and keep your ears up, that is our destination!"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Since the secret meeting with His Majesty Roland in the capital of Graycastle and received support, Thunder did not waste a day, and immediately started preparations for the third trip to the east of the Shadow Islands to explore the secrets of sea lines and tides. In addition to preparing ships and recruiting excellent explorers, the most critical step is to find witches who can go deep into the seabed to observe the ebb and flow.
That is, Margaery's childhood friend, Joan.
"Can we really find her?" Molly stood over the head of the magic servant and looked out, "I can't see anything."
"She only shows up when she can't be seen," Margaery whispered, "Joan will not sit idly by a sailboat in danger."
"She's turned into a fish now?"
"The last time I saw her, only her legs were shaped like fish, but that was more than ten years ago." Margaery shook her head, "I don't know what it looks like now. "
"This is a summoning ability, so it's not surprising to become any aquatic animal," Camilla Darry, the butler of Sleeping Island, thought, "If you said that Joan has always been with the sea, there is no need to worry about her. Unable to survive the awakening day. It’s just that more than ten years have passed, is she really still in this sea?”
"Ma'am, you have to trust our information," Lei Ting said with a smile, "I have been paying attention to the movements of this place since I knew she was a witch. You must know that her singing is the symbol of Xuelang Island, and there are even some businessmen who are about to move. , I want to take this voice as my own."
"You stopped them?" Camilla frowned.
"A shipwreck stopped them," Lei Ting blinked, "I promise those guys will never dare to think of her again."
"I see...thank you for helping the witch," she stroked her chest.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Morrill yelled.
"Hahaha, do I look that old?" Lei Ting stroked his beard and said, "It really isn't very long."
Margaery shook her head aside, this guy is still so easy to please women, no matter which island in the fjord, he is the most attention-grabbing existence. Of course, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't fall in love with him.
It's a pity that since he owned Lightning, he never had any plans to marry anyone else.
"Boss, I seem to hear singing!" Suddenly someone shouted from the stern, "It's just to the northwest!"
"Quiet, everyone be quiet!" Lei Ting and the witches ran towards the stern of the sailboat, and Margaery hurriedly followed.
As everyone held their breaths to listen, the ethereal and ethereal singing gradually became clear. It did not come from all directions, but pointed firmly in one direction—like the light penetrating through the thick fog, guiding the Chasing to a safe route.
"Leave the sails and drop the anchor!" Lei Ting instructed, "Put down the landing shuttle."
After awakening as a witch, she probably knew that she could not be caught by others. Joan almost never showed up. Ships in distress often only heard singing, and few people saw her real body. Therefore, Thunder's plan is to let the Chase stay where it is, and continue to attract Joan to sing, and he, Margaery and the witches took the boat to find her by following the sound.
The magic servant dived into the water and advanced quietly against the landing shuttle, even skipping the process of paddling.
After driving in the dense fog for about half an hour, Margaery suddenly saw a dark green figure.
"Joan!" she couldn't help shouting.
The singing stopped abruptly.
I saw a woman half-floating on the water, looking at the people in the boat in amazement, and seemed a little at a loss for a while. Her hair drooped like fluffy seaweed, revealing only half a cheek and staring eyes. The skin is so white that there is no trace of blood, and scaly markings can still be seen on the cheeks and the edge of the neck.
"It's me, Margaery! Do you remember me?"
"Acridine-acridine-dumb-" She uttered an intermittent cry, while slowly backing away.
"It's useless, she can't speak anymore," Lei Ting said decisively, "I will leave the rest of the communication to you, Ms. Camilla."
Camilla nodded and put her hand on Margaery's shoulder.
In an instant, Joan's voice sounded in her head.
"No, I came to you to—"
"Speak directly in your heart, she can hear it," Camilla interrupted, "communication from the heart is more sincere."
Margaery swallowed, took a deep breath, and thought over what she wanted to say.
After a while, she heard the other party's response again.
This is what witches are capable of! It's so miraculous... Margaery thought excitedly, fortunately Thunder had foreseen this before the trip, and invited Camilla Darry from the Maleficent Curse who could communicate with people directly.
Oops, forgot that the other party could directly hear her current thoughts, Margaery quickly collected her thoughts, and then "said",
Joan's voice sounded animated,
...
After a long time, Joan made a sound of "acridine", flicked her tail and jumped into the sea, leaving only a series of ripples.
"How?" Thunder asked.
Margaery turned her head and slowly smiled, "She agreed to our request."
