Blaze and Audrey both believed that Callisto must have suffered psychological trauma due to some of the stranger's behavior, which might have triggered the curse.

Therefore, bringing Callisto along is the best solution, and of course they will still respect his own ideas.

Callisto hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement as if he had made up his mind, as Audrey looked at him with hope. This agile female hunter couldn't stay in this place forever, she needed to go out for a walk, and then one day she would be able to walk out.

However, it would take a long time for Callisto to overcome her fear of men. Letting Callisto board the Dead Bear would cost Callisto half his life, so Callisto chose to swim behind the boat.

This hunter from the Age of Gods has demonstrated her amazing strength even in the ocean world. She can swim faster than the lightning swordfish in the sea and has enough strength to capture a megalodon shark alive.

It's a pity that Greenland stayed on the island and used [Six Degrees of Separation] to summon enough people to come and build the island, so he missed this exciting scene.

It is worth mentioning that the Siren seemed to have smelled the scent of Callisto from a distance and hid early.

The return route was smooth, but Blaise and Audrey were very nervous because it seemed like they were going to arrive early.

What might not have taken two days was now completed in just one day.

After returning to the Cyclops Island, what was supposed to come finally came.

Herbie's reaction was beyond Blazer and Audrey's imagination. She didn't make a fuss, but cried loudly with snot and tears.

Blaze used [Translation] to barely understand what Hebie meant, as she was mumbling something and couldn't speak normal language. Basically, he had to be both a father and a mother, but the little girl he had raised with great difficulty had actually become disfigured.

Audrey couldn't refute the fact that Herbie was both a father and a mother. After she met Herbie, she basically lived with Herbie, and her uncle deliberately let her leave the city of Lycaon.

After Blazer and Audrey comforted her for a while, Herbie finally wiped her tears and cried softly, but Audrey had to stay with her for a while longer in this state.

Blazer intended to stay a little longer, waiting for Herbie to recover, she would need someone to vent her anger on. But Audrey signaled him to leave with her eyes, and when her eyes failed to drive him away, she simply stood up and chased him away.

"So you were kicked out?"

Marika looked at Blaze squatting on the ground, and squatted down like Blaze. After squatting, the gap between Marika and Blaze was not that big.

"He said there were some things that were inconvenient for me to hear, alas."

"People often say impulsive things when they're angry, which is hard to deal with later. Hermes' physique..." Marika raised her hand and gestured, "is not suitable for our solution."

What Marika meant by "our way of solving the problem" was to beat the other person as hard as possible until all the anger was released.

This method is most suitable for situations where after a big quarrel, the relationship becomes strained because of the personalities of both parties. With one punch, even the mildest person will get angry and stop talking, and will fight back fiercely while expressing his true feelings.

But this method is really not suitable for Herbie. He will probably faint from fright before he even starts.

Blaze scratched the back of his head and decided not to think about it for the time being, but to think about the crisis in front of him, which was not big, but not small either.

The first step of the upheaval was due to a series of conspiracies by the Queen of Heaven, the wife of Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, against the son of Zeus.

Themis couldn't explain in detail, so Blaze made some guesses of his own.

It is likely that every son of Zeus with a name did not have a good ending. Apart from the fact that they inherited their father's bad habits and brought about their misfortunes, there was probably an existence behind the scenes who fanned the flames.

Of course, except for Athena, who fell into the trap herself.

The endings of the sons of Zeus should all correspond to a complete upheaval. A careful investigation may reveal many stories. The culprit who planned all this is sitting leisurely in the Crescent Moon Temple. He still has to find the Fountain of Youth to help her restore her divine appearance.

Blaze could only hypnotize himself, saying that this was the mission of the Night Watch, and that Pais, who restored the appearance of God, was only one-third of the Queen of Heaven. Besides, the King of Gods named Zeus was the culprit, and so on.

Only with this in mind could Blaze reluctantly take the final step to find the Fountain of Youth.

"Speaking of which..." Blaze sighed and tried to talk about something lighter, "Shouldn't the thieves from Crete be locked up in the Giant Kingdom Alliance's prison?"

"Yes, but it's better not to. The people over there in the Eternal Kingdom are... sick." Even Marika made this comment with a conflicted look on her face.

"Although the city of Crete has not yet submitted to the Eternal Kingdom, its location is within the former territory of the Third Kingdom, and the Eternal Kingdom believes that the city-states in the Third Kingdom will belong to it sooner or later."

At first glance it may not seem to have anything to do with locking up a thief, but the problem is the knight ranking.

The lake fairies had limited brains and could not think of so many tasks to satisfy the strangers, so they came up with the idea of ​​[finding faults]. They looked for frictions between the Eternal Kingdom and the Holy Cross Kingdom and the Giant Kingdom Alliance, and then exaggerated the impact of the frictions and handed them over to the strangers.

If the thief Annie is put into the prison of the Giant Kingdom Alliance, the stranger in the knight ranking will be given the task of jailbreaking.

"Then let's..."

Blaze wanted to say send him to the legal prison in the Eternal Kingdom, but the appearance of the lake goblin made him frown.

Who knows, the thief Annie could use the matter of the Fountain of Youth to lure the fairies in the lake, and then the fairies in the lake would instigate the strangers in the knight rankings to do something.

Not to mention, the thief Annie has not yet handed over the stolen [Callisto Compass].

"Please take care of her closely. We can deal with her affairs after the issue of the Fountain of Youth is resolved. Let's bring Pais here first."

Chapter 1160 Beautiful Moon, Dark Shadow

In the Crescent Moon Temple, during these days that felt like years, Bernard felt that his neck was getting longer. He kept looking at the exit, but he had to turn his head back immediately because there was a hot potato in front of him.

Pais, the incarnation of the crescent moon, was still sitting in front of him, and he was afraid that Pais would disappear if he wasn't paying attention.

The moment Blaze appeared in the Crescent Moon Temple, Bernerron couldn't help but raise his hands and cheer. The last time Blaze came back was before they landed on the island, and now he came back, which meant that he had obtained the compass that could lead to the Fountain of Youth.

Blazer responded to Bernard's inquiries absent-mindedly. He did not mention Audrey. Bernard was old and might not be able to withstand the stimulation.

"I can already hear the sound of the Fountain of Youth. The gate to the Fountain of Youth is just around the corner." Pais put down the apple in his hand and smiled at Blaze.

She seemed to be in a good mood, no longer full of contempt as before, and even her attitude was cheerful.

"Before I bathe in the Fountain of Youth, you still have a choice..."

"no need."

Blaze pursed his lips. He subconsciously wanted to question Pais about Callisto, but this would put Callisto in a disadvantageous situation. He could only suppress his impulse and stay calm as much as possible.

"The vortex leading to the Fountain of Youth will open tomorrow. In order to prevent any accidents, I want you to be in place today."

"Okay." Pais nodded, casually threw away the apple in her hand, stood up gracefully, walked slowly towards Blaze, and stretched out her hand to Blaze, as if she wanted Blaze to hold her hand.

But Blaze's eyes followed the falling apple, which rolled into a pile of apples.

"If you don't like apples, you can just leave them alone. Why waste them?"

"I like apples. I just want a perfect apple. Those apples have too many flaws and are not perfect and beautiful at all." Pais chuckled. He didn't mind Blaze's indifference and wanted to touch Blaze's cheek.

Blaze's eye twitched and he grasped Pais' arm, his golden eyes dazzling like two suns.

"Is that what you planned?"

"…What's the plan?"

There was no flaw on Pais's face, and even if there was, Blaze had no way to stop him. He took a deep breath and released Pais's arm.

He couldn't lose his mind again, it was too dangerous.

The moment Blaze let go, a hint of regret appeared on Pais's face, but she quickly returned to normal and waited quietly for Blaze to take her away.

Blaze did not choose to use the chicken's ability to travel, but instead took Pais through the teleportation tower of [Hermes' Travel Hat] and transferred all the way to the Cyclops Island.

"You just have to wait until tomorrow and pass through a whirlpool and then you can get your wish of bathing in the fountain of youth." After Blaze sent Pais to the inn built by Hermes' Traveling Hat, he left immediately as if he didn't want to stay even a second longer.

Pais looked at Blaze's back meaningfully, then disappeared from the room.

……

"I have something to report. Can you let me in?" Blaze reached out and knocked on the door. This was Herbie's room, and of course, Audrey's room.

Herbie opened the door with a bang, his eyes still red.

After opening the door, Herbie tried to close it again, as if he didn't expect the person outside the door to be Blaze.

Blaze didn't move his hand to stop him. Herbie opened the door only after hearing that it was him. Now he was just pretending to do so, wanting to vent his anger in this way.

The door slammed open and closed several times. Every time Herbie closed the door, Blaze seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and repeated his lines and continued to knock on the door. It was not until Herbie opened the door again, did not close it but turned around and walked into the house, that the matter entered the next stage.

"What's the matter?" Audrey leaned against the window with a sheet of music in her hand.

"I brought Pais with me, just in case. I hope Callisto will run away and not have any stress reaction to seeing Pais."

Audrey groaned for a moment and then understood Blaze's intention, which was not only to prevent accidents, but also to keep Pais away from Arcadia.

Judging from Callisto's experience and attitude, if Pais regained the appearance of a god, even if she only restored one-third of it, she would be a very scary existence. Even if she did not regain the appearance of a god, Blaze had already felt several chills.

Blaze is never afraid of strong enemies, but he does not want to harm innocent people. If a battle takes place at the Fountain of Youth, the damage can be minimized.

"You don't seem to want to be shy about it." Audrey closed the sheet music and half-jokingly touched the scar on her cheek.

Hebie immediately frowned and crossed her arms, waiting for Blaze's answer. Unfortunately, she did not wait for Blaze's high emotional intelligence answer.

"Sorry, I didn't think about that." Blaze couldn't help but frowning when he recalled Pais's face. When he saw Amaterasu and Themis, he did have the idea of ​​avoiding them, but when it came to Pais...

This is somewhat strange.

"Why don't you not go to the Fountain of Youth tomorrow and stay on the Cyclops Island."

Audrey wanted to refuse, but the thoughtful look on Blaze's face made her change her mind.

"Good. I just happened to want to talk to Callisto. The kid probably started to panic after realizing Pais was here."

"This child? She's older than all of us put together, even with several zeros added." Blazer breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was a high possibility that Audrey would stubbornly go along, but he didn't expect that she would actually be persuaded.

"Don't you know that people become infantilized when they are stimulated and traumatized?" Audrey rolled her eyes and pointed in Herbie's direction with the music score.

"He was crying like a little kid."

"No, didn't we agree not to talk about this?" Herbie's face immediately turned red.

"But wasn't Blaze there at the time?"

"He has a brain that forgets in a moment!"

……

Click, click, click——

In the cell of the Dead Bear, the thief Annie tried in vain to pick the lock with the hidden wire. Unfortunately, the pirates were very frugal, and the lock was extremely simple in structure, but it was particularly large, so large that she could stick her finger in it, and the wire was of no use at all.

When she heard the sound of footsteps, the thief Annie immediately put away the wire. Just as she was about to continue to act resentful to divert attention, she was stunned.

That person was like moonlight cast into the darkness, beautiful and sacred. Her silver hair seemed like a trailing silver veil. There was no one in the world more beautiful than that.

"You, you, your face!?"

"The Fountain of Youth, could it be the Fountain of Youth?"

Chapter 1161 Disgusting

Early in the morning, the Dead Bear received bad news that the thief Annie had escaped.

This time it was not the pirates' mistake. They knew very well that if they stayed there to watch over her, the possibility of the thief Annie's escape would increase, so they simply stopped guarding her, snapped a few big chains, and then walked away.

This is indeed the case. The ruthless oversized iron lock cannot be opened by just a few words from the thief Annie, but fingers can.

Blaze picked up a bloody nail on the ground, and then picked up the bloodstained iron lock. After comparing them, he knew how the thief Annie escaped.

She put her fingers into the iron lock and pried it open.

The pirates left behind this iron lock with such a big keyhole because they considered that someone might put their fingers in to pry open the lock, so this iron lock is also the infamous "torture lock" in Crete.

This lock is a mechanical lock. When the corresponding key is inserted, a series of mechanisms will be triggered to open the lock. However, if a finger is inserted, the mechanism will still be triggered, but at that time the lock will tell the person who inserted the finger why it is called a torture lock.

The first mechanism is a thin piece that will pry open people's nails.

Blazer was not interested in the record of the pirates who said that a ruthless man could open a lock with his fingers. The thief Annie had undoubtedly broken that record.

After noticing that Blaze didn't reply, the pirates stopped bragging and began to seriously investigate the whereabouts of the thief Annie. Following the blood trail, they found that the thief Annie had probably used the teleportation tower of [Hermes's Travel Hat] to escape.

"No, this is fake." Blaze threw away the bloodstained iron chain in his hand and said calmly, "I don't know her well, but I don't think she would escape in this way. We are not going to kill her."

"The only possibility is that she was stimulated in some way. The only thing that can stimulate her now is the Fountain of Youth, and escaping from here means getting away from the Fountain of Youth which is so close."

"She is still hiding on the island, or she is still on the boat. Find her and don't let anyone get on or off the boat."

The pirates nodded. They were extremely obedient at this moment. The Fountain of Youth was within reach, and the legacy of the great pirates was also within sight.

To be honest, their desire for the fountain of youth is not really that strong; their lives are not so luxurious as to pursue rejuvenation.

But after the pirates searched for a long time, the time for compass calibration was about to come, but the thief Annie was still nowhere to be found, and Blaze began to doubt his judgment.

Just at this moment, Pais appeared on the deck of the Dead Bear and strolled leisurely.

"I feel like the Fountain of Youth is near, but you're still not ready to go..."

"You think too much." Blaze closed his eyes and used his [Blind Eyes] to look around. After making sure that the thief Annie was not on the Dead Bear, he decided to let the Dead Bear set off.

The members of [Somado] boarded the boat together and surrounded Pais intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed like they were protecting him, but Pais, who was among them, knew that they were the ones who had bad intentions.

Pais pretended not to know and lifted his silver hair to face the sea breeze.
