Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 222 Time really flies

"The prophecy has begun to come true."

As Panini slowly swam toward the Valkyrie, he said weakly, "Pirates, no, sailors, it's up to you whether you accept the challenge."

"So, can we escape?" Shenba asked instinctively.

"sure"

Panini said nonchalantly, "The stakes are Pirate City. Whoever kills Poseidon owns Pirate City and its pirates."

"Haihai Pirate City?" Shenba's eyes widened.

"Don't worry, your Sinriko isn't in Pirate City."

Panini said casually, "She has already gone with the Hercules to Iron Oak Island to join the battle."

"Captain! When are we going to Iron Oak Island?!" Shenba immediately changed his attitude.

"Lord Panini must have other bargaining chips, right?" Cheng Lang asked from the bow of the ship.

Having been forced into this situation, avoiding war is definitely not an option, but you still have to feed a donkey a handful of beans to get it to pull the millstone.

In other words, we can't just be stingy and let them serve this giant octopus without any preparation, can we?

"I'm not that stingy."

Panini clearly understood Cheng Lang's hint. His two tentacles plunged into the water, but in the blink of an eye, he attached the ends of the tentacles to the Valkyrie.

"This ship has become more beautiful."

As Panini spoke, he placed a box covered in patina and infested with shellfish on the pristine white bone deck.

Immediately following, his second tentacle lashed onto the deck, this time delivering a pair of chandelier-shaped anchors.

"What is this?" Cheng Lang asked, tilting his head back.

"What's in the box is a set of one and a half sails made from the wing membranes of the ancient land beast, the Shadow Bat."

Panini said, "It is also the last and a half sails left in the Sea of ​​Stars and the Sea of ​​Despair."

"The one that can sail against the wind?" Cheng Lang pressed.

He remembered that when the Magic Mirror was still around, it had mentioned this sail, and even found a treasure map with a shadow bat pattern.

Unfortunately, they later became entangled in the web of fate, and they never had the chance to unravel those treasure maps.

"That's right"

Panini brought his huge eyes close to the Valkyrie. "Put it on. Use the remaining half of the sails to make a cloak for your sailors. It will bring surprises in battle."

"I'll accept this commission."

Cheng Lang kicked the pair of chandelier anchors. "What are these?"

"Is the sea queen's protective oil lamp on your ship?" Panini countered.

“That’s right,” Cheng Lang nodded. That oil lamp had always been hanging in the ship’s center chamber.

"Let's attach these anchors to both sides of the stern."

Panini said, "Then we'll light them with the sea queen's oil lamp."

"Will this bring surprises?" Cheng Lang pressed.

"Who knows?"

Panini replied irresponsibly, "The Queen of the Sea had me hide these two chandelier anchors before Poseidon was killed last time, and now it's time to use them."

"Lord Panini"

At this moment, Yun Lan spoke up and asked, "The rumored Sea Queen..."

"That's right"

Panini didn't hide anything and said frankly, "She is my sister."

"Thank you for your generosity and honesty," Yun Lan wisely said, and asked no further questions.

"Princess Bakra," Panini's tone became more formal. "Your father asked me to convey that, with the cooperation of Rica and the Frost Duchy, Dwarf Mountain has been blasted open and turned into a canal."

The Elven Duchy has felled the Sacred Tree and built the Blood War Ark; furthermore, the entire Duchy of Mephita has mobilized its people for war and launched a desperate attack on Gotland and Borland.

"It has finally begun," Yun Lan sighed.

“Yes, it has finally begun,” Panini said. “King Rica also asked me to convey one last message.”

"Please speak," Yun Lan said politely, lifting her skirt slightly.

He said.

As Panini finished speaking, his enormous body shrank instantly, and he stood on Yun Lan's shoulder, whispering something in her ear as he removed the crown from his head and placed it on Yun Lan's head.

"Contract established"

Yun Lan took a deep breath and then formally shook hands with the little octopus standing on her shoulder.

Good luck to you all!

After Panini finished speaking, he flew like a meatball towards the distant Swallowing Island, firmly attaching his tentacles to the island's shell and disappearing without a trace.

"Hang anchor and change sails!" Cheng Lang shouted the order after taking a deep breath.

Immediately, the vine demons began to busy themselves, and Cheng Lang and the others finally had time to visit the bony, white ship.

It was only at this point that they noticed that the ship had not only been lengthened with an additional mainmast, but also had an extra layer of concealed gun deck.

Moreover, although the caliber of these cannons remained the same, they were also made of bone.

Even in the lower deck of the Thorn, which seemed unchanged on the other side, a spring of sweet water resembling an eye socket had appeared.

"The Valkyrie has become much lighter."

Before the gorillas had even changed their sails, the Silver Queen said, "And I can sense that after the anchors were installed, the area of ​​sea fog I could control increased significantly." "Is that all?" Cheng Lang pressed.

"I don't know, they must have other uses."

The Silver Queen shook her head and said, "At least I'm much better at controlling this ship now. I guess that's probably due to the anchor."

No sooner had these words been spoken than the gorillas had already changed their sails.

The sails made from the wing membranes of the Shadow Bat feel very similar to the texture of the wood ear mushrooms that Yavso has recently cultivated.

But the plump sail was translucent pale yellow, and it was covered with fine blood vessels.

"Yafso, use your scissors and the remaining sails to make some cloaks for everyone," Yun Lan said at the opportune moment.

"Look at me!"

As Yavso spoke, she had already pulled out the large pair of scissors.

With her bold and decisive cutting, a total of ten cloaks, one large and nine small, were cut out.

"The largest one belongs to Mrs. Silver Queen."

Yafso began distributing the items. "The smallest one is for Mist Shadow, and everyone else gets one. Lord Nightbringer, this one is yours."

"You're a good mouse, at least you're still thinking of me."

As Yedi spoke, he straightened his chest and let Yafso help him tie the cloak, which looked more like a bib, around his neck.

“This last cloak belongs to Grandpa Magic Mirror,” Yafso said as she carefully folded the last cloak.

We will definitely meet again.

Cheng Lang took the strange cloak and put it on. He looked up at the sails, which were already billowing in the breeze. "Let's go. We're going to Iron Oak Island."

"set off!"

Amidst the cheers of everyone, the pristine white Valkyrie, piloted by the Silver Queen who was also clad in a cloak, billowed its sails and sped off at an astonishing speed.

"Mr. Panini, why didn't you warn that big cat?"

On the back of the island, Shen Wei sat on a Nightmare that was already the size of an oak barrel and asked.

“If reminding him would have been helpful, he would have come over on his own long ago.”

Panini shook a wine bottle with his tentacle. "Ms. Shenwei, and the slumbering master behind you, we should talk about what happened after Poseidon was killed."

"After Poseidon dies, the Sea of ​​Despair will no longer be despairing, the sea fog at its edge will dissipate, and the Old World will reappear."

At this point, Shen Wei leaned forward and looked at Panini, "Do you want to rule the ocean? Do you want to become the new sea god?"

“This ocean no longer needs a sea god,” Panini casually reminded him. “He has already obtained five of the seven divine fragments, the sixth is hidden in the head of the undead next to Princess Bakla as bait, and the last fragment was used by those dwarves to create a new Poseidon.”

After a brief pause, Panini continued, "After this battle, all seven divine sparks will be delivered to that young man from another world, including the Valkyrie's divine spark."

"You plan to send them away from this world?" Shen Wei asked, squinting.

They never belonged here.

Panini laughed and exposed Shen Wei, "Isn't that person behind you also hiding on that ship, preparing to smuggle himself out?"

"It seems we share the same goal."

A wine glass appeared out of thin air in Shen Wei's hand. "The Starry Sea doesn't need gods; this is the best outcome."

“After our divinity disappears, we will also disappear,” Panini remarked. “The human world is truly fascinating.”

"The web of fate has its own arrangements."

Shen Wei let Panini fill his glass with fruit wine. "Are you really confident you can get them out of this world?"

"This is the option left by Santa Barbara."

Panini remarked, "But I guess it's probably impossible to send him back to his original world."

Where will it be sent?

"how could I know"

Panini said nonchalantly, "I don't even really believe in the existence of another world."

“After Poseidon dies, we should also disappear.” Shen Wei glanced longingly in the direction where the Valkyrie had vanished.

"The web of fate has its own arrangements."

Panini remarked, "When Luo first came into this world, I was still fighting with hermit crabs for snail shells."

"I know"

"you know?"

"Of course I know"

Shen Wei smiled brightly, "I was watching the excitement from the rocks not far away at the time."

Time really flies.

"Yes, time flies."

After expressing his feelings, Shen Wei drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and then disappeared without a trace.

"It's time to end this."

Panini took a swig of the fruit wine in the bottle, then patted the island that served as his mount, "Old friend, let's go back to the Savage Island. That's where Luo and I first met. I want to die there."

"As you wish, my friend."

The voice of the island-swallowing man was exceptionally ethereal and soothing, but his speed was even faster than that of the Valkyrie just now—just as fast as when he sent the Valkyrie away from the Sea of ​​Despair.
