Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 219 The prophecy is about to be fulfilled.
Amidst the continuous chorus, the Valkyrie cruised at an unimaginable speed in this windless sea.

Compared to the terrified crowd on the ship, the enormous whale-sea monster, which Ye Di called the Gluttonous Whale, which was getting further and further away from them, did not follow.

But in just a short while, all the ships drifting in that area—no, it should be said, all the silent objects floating on the sea—had been swallowed by the whale.

"Gone"

Cheng Lang put down his binoculars and sighed. Just now, he had personally witnessed that windless sea area return to calm and cleanliness, and there was nothing left there.

"Magic Mirror?" Cheng Lang turned his head and shouted, "Magic Mirror?"

"Stop shouting."

Night God, carrying Princess Mist Shadow, walked over and lazily lay on the open-air cockpit, saying, "Your Magic Mirror—no, I should say the Tongue of Slander—has returned to where it belongs."

"That giant whale?" Cheng Lang was momentarily dazed.

“That’s the whale’s rationality,” Night God explained.

"So will we meet Grandpa Magic Mirror again in the future?" Princess Mist Shadow asked.

"I don't know, but I guess you'll definitely meet again," Nightshade replied, nuzzling Princess Mist Shadow affectionately with his round head. "If he doesn't want to see you, I'll help you catch that fat fish and keep it in the fish tank."

"Are you that amazing?"

Shenba's reckless question, unsurprisingly, earned him the treatment of being whipped from the stern to the bow by Yedi's tail.

Hopefully, we'll meet again someday.

Cheng Lang couldn't help but sigh. The Magic Mirror was the first friend he made in this world, and its sudden departure without saying goodbye inevitably left him feeling somewhat lost.

Fortunately, although the Magic Mirror has left, his ship is now exceptionally lively.

"keep going!"

Cheng Lang took one last look at the calm sea, then roused himself and gave the order.

"I guess you don't need comforting right now, do you?" Yun Ji asked as she followed Cheng Lang toward the office.

Of course not.

Cheng Lang waved his hand, "Do you have some good news?"

"I just found it at the top of the mast."

As Yun Ji spoke, she tossed a gold coin to Cheng Lang.

Upon catching the gold coin, Cheng Lang couldn't help but smile when he saw the pattern on it.

On one side of this gold coin, the Valkyrie and Thorn are depicted in relief, their hulls fitting together.

The other side is sculpted as a withered profile with hands hanging down and back bent, a fawning yet exceptionally friendly expression—it's the Magic Mirror.

"It seems we'll meet again," Cheng Lang said with a smile.

"Is there anything special about this gold coin?" Yun Ji asked curiously.

"Perhaps it's to provide an option when we can't make a decision."

Before Cheng Lang could finish speaking, the gold coin was launched with a "ding!" and allowed to spin and fall into his palm.

"The Magic Mirror is facing upwards."

Yun Ji glanced at the coin in Cheng Lang's palm and said with a smile.

So we should see each other again.

Cheng Lang put the gold coins into his desk drawer, then took out the metal bowl, glanced at it, and pointed in a direction, saying, "The course is off, right rudder 45!"

"Right steer 45!" Yun Ji immediately ran out to relay the order.

A moment later, the Valkyrie changed direction and continued its journey toward its destination.

Meanwhile, Yun Hai, who was still guarding the waters outside Iron Oak Island, stared blankly at the mirror in the wardrobe that had been shattered into countless pieces.

Thanks to those spores, through this period of hunting and besieging, seven or eight out of ten ghost ships have been destroyed, and the rest are basically trapped in this sea area.

More importantly, she had just recently received the latest batch of spores from the Fresh Fruit ghost ship.

But she never expected that the mirror in the wardrobe would shatter at that moment.

Finally, she let out a soft sigh, toying with the blood-red dagger in her hand, and shouted as she walked out, "The prophecy has come true! Notify the fleet! Notify that stinking octopus Panini! Mobilize the entire fleet of Pirate City! Besiege Iron Oak Islands!"

"Yes!"

Amidst the responses of the many sailors, one after another, the Beacon Beasts flapped their wings and soared into the sky, flying vigorously towards the pirate city.

"laugh!"

In the Elf Kingdom, within the Elf Royal Palace, a beautiful scimitar pierced the last member of the royal family.

"puff!"

As the scimitar was pulled from that bloated body, blood rained down from the sky once again, just as it had not long before.

Under the nourishment of this blood rain, the sapling of the verdant sacred tree in the center of the royal city began to grow rapidly.

But this time, the sacred tree sprouted blood-red leaves.

"The prophecy is about to be fulfilled; the verdant spirits are about to set sail for the final battle!"

The grey-robed man, who had killed the last member of the royal family, brandished his blood-stained scimitar and roared, "All elven citizens, heed my command! Dismantle all the verdant cannons! Fall down the sacred tree! Build the Blood War Ark!"

Within the territory of Rica, the aged king, carrying his scepter, walked alone into the depths of the Dwarf Mountain. "The prophecy has come true. I wonder when my Bakla can return home."

With a sigh, the elderly king thrust the royal scepter, a symbol of royalty, into the lock of the royal coat of arms at the entrance to the mausoleum without any hesitation, and could even be described as eagerly pushing it forward.

"In just a few hundred years, Rica has produced half of the country's gunpowder annually." King Rica muttered to himself, suppressing his excitement, on the side of the Dwarf Mountain.
On the other side of Dwarf Mountain, the king of the Frost Duchy also thrust his bone scepter into an inconspicuous crack in the rock. "For hundreds of years, the Frost Duchy has produced more than 70% of its lubricating oil, thanks to the tireless digging of 119 digging beetles day and night."

"enough"

These two elderly kings, who had always been wary of each other even in their interactions with their nations, uttered the same frantic sigh at this moment: "The price is enough to blow up this mountain!"

"Conscription Order from the Duchy of Mephita"

In the Principality of Mofita, the young prince stood on the altar and loudly proclaimed, "From this moment forward, all adult citizens of Mofita are to be conscripted into the army to fight to the death!"

All land and naval forces shall advance along the border and coastline toward the Duchy of Gotland and the Duchy of Poirland, and shall seize the Gotland Royal Shipyard and the Poirland Treasury!
Seize all of Poseidon's blood within Gotland and Borland and consume it on the spot!

"Yo! Yo! Yo!"

Below the altar, the responses from the subjects of the Duchy of Mephita grew increasingly unified and filled with murderous intent.

"Latest wanted notice from Pirate City!"

Inside the Brotherhood fleet, Lu Ting shouted a reminder to the crew who had just arrived at port, "The Pirate City has launched a black raid on the waters surrounding Borland and Gotland!"

All ships within a 500-nautical-mile radius of Pirate City must participate! Profits will be distributed equally! Infighting is strictly prohibited! Those who evade the battle will be sent to an exile island to serve 99 years in prison!

After a brief pause, Lu Ting continued loudly, "Panini, Lord Panini is personally overseeing the battle!"

"Gulu!"

When the last sentence was spoken, all the sailors on the ship swallowed hard.

The people on the Valkyrie were unaware of what was happening on the Star Sea.

But right behind the ship, a huge whale had already surfaced, its large, green eyes scanning the Valkyrie as it sailed further and further away.

“Woo——!”

With a low growl, the whale-like sea monster named Greedy Tongue changed direction and rushed towards the waters beyond the Sea of ​​Despair at a terrifying speed, while also devouring the ghost ships it encountered along the way—he was a carrion-eating sea monster.

Fourteen days after leaving the Calm Belt, the Thorn, which had already entered the dense fog at the edge of the Sea of ​​Despair, suddenly came to a stop.

"Left rudder! Left rudder 50!"

On the deck of the Thorn, Cheng Lang, holding a metal bowl, issued the order, and the Thorn, under the skillful and agile control of Shenba and the female sailors of the Ray Clan, changed direction.

"A passage has appeared in this sea fog! A passage without sea fog!" Shenba shouted excitedly, pointing towards the bow of the ship.

Ignore him

Cheng Lang glanced up at it briefly, then lowered his head and stared intently at the metal bowl in his hand.

"I'm closing my eyes!" Shenba said, already closing his eyes and gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"Right-hand drive 20"

Cheng Lang gave a new signal, and the ship changed course again, revealing a new, fog-free waterway before them.

"Right rudder 60!"

Soon after, Cheng Lang gave new instructions, and the ship turned again and rushed into the thick fog, once again finding a new, fog-free channel.

"Straighten the rudder! Full sails! Use the fins for propulsion!"

As soon as Cheng Lang gave the order, Yun Lan immediately began to vigorously paddle with her dragonfly fins, and the ray sailors also pulled the ropes to make the canopy-shaped sails fuller.

"what is that?"

Standing next to Cheng Lang, Yun Ji pointed in surprise at a reef that resembled a fountain not far away and asked in astonishment.

Fountain of Repentance

Night Demon, who had been staying on the ship for the past few days, licked his paws and said, "That is the Fountain of Repentance, the spring water squeezed out from the edge of the world after being crushed."

"us."

"Let's move forward," Cheng Lang decided before Yun Lan could finish speaking.

"You are so generous."

Yun Lan made a joke as usual, but then noticed that Cheng Lang's expression was more serious than ever before.

"What's wrong?" Yun Lan asked.

"It's nothing," Cheng Lang shook his head, noticing some familiar things.

"Familiar things? What are they?" Yavso asked curiously as she brought the juice.

"No, it's nothing." Cheng Lang looked away. "Maintain course! Keep going!"

At this urgent command, the Thorn increased its speed once again.

Gradually, a small island, nearly a hundred meters above the sea, appeared directly in front of us.

Strangely, a pale blue waterfall, reeking of corpses, flows from the edge of the island into the sea.

Looking down at the small wooden boat that was starting to spin in the metal bowl, Cheng Lang took a deep breath and reminded him, "We've arrived. There's a dangerous place hidden here."
