Chapter 274 They are fleeing from the sea!
Hughes looked at the scene in front of him in confusion - he was sure that this was not Castel, nor even the area around Gem Bay or Blood Harbor.
Because he was looking into the eyes of a penguin at this moment.
It wasn't a monster, just an ordinary penguin with smooth fur and a dull look in its eyes, standing on an ice floe.
puff.
Water splashed, and a white bear caught the penguin in its mouth. It glanced at Hughes, then slowly turned and left.
Hughes looked around. There were floating ice everywhere. Huge icebergs stood in the distance. The whole world was white, dazzlingly white.
"Where is this? Didn't I place the body near the eye of the storm? How did it end up here?"
Xiusi had a head full of question marks, not knowing what was going on.
"Let me sort it out. First of all, the sea water is at least normal now. It doesn't look like there is any problem. Although I don't know how it got here, at least the sea is not dry anymore."
Now thinking about the previous drying up of the sea was simply terrifying. The entire Ocean of Storms was actually drained out like that.
Fortunately, Monica activated the power of Poseidon in time, allowing the seawater to flow back and pour out from the eye of the storm. Wait! Pouring out from the eye of the storm?
Isn't his body in the eye of the storm?! Hughes covered his face, wondering if the seawater that surged in all directions at that time had brought this body here?
If you think about it carefully, this makes sense. At that time, the sea level in Castel was dropping rapidly, and the amount of sea water gushing out from the eye of the storm must have been huge. It was normal for the sea water with huge force to wash away his body.
I didn't expect to bring it all the way here. Is this the North? Hughes didn't know much about geography. According to his memory, there would be floating ice in the sea, which means it was in the North, right?
Looking carefully around himself, Xius found that only his upper body could move, while his lower body was frozen into the huge iceberg and could not be pulled out at all.
"Why does it feel like the throne you can't get off?"
"Forget it. Castel will be out soon anyway. This body is of little use. Let's connect those people."
With the thought that since he was already here, Xiusi manipulated the silk thread in his hand and opened the link that he had not logged into for a long time.
fries:"!!!"
French Fries: "Everyone, look what I found!"
French Fries: "I thought this link disappeared forever."
French Fries: "I didn't expect it to be connected again!"
French Fries: "How are you, Lady Scepter? How are you, little Gwen?"
Scepter: 『.』
French Fries: "Great! Lady of Wands, you're still here!"
Scepter: "Are you still at sea?"
French Fries: "Yes, we drifted for a long time, investigated Castel and Jewel Bay, got off the ship when the sea dried up, climbed up the mountain on the bottom of the sea to take a look, and then went to the Corridor of Despair to investigate, but unfortunately we didn't find any clues, and the ship ran aground. Fortunately, when we thought we would die on the ship, the sea water surged out again!"
Ken couldn't help but feel emotional when he said this. He was almost in despair at that time. Even Captain Jeremiah was about to give up and even handed over the steering method to Ken, asking him to take over the Black Pearl after his death.
But soon, the sea water surged out again, and the Storm Ocean, which had dried up to the bottom, was filled up again and became full of vitality again.
Jeremiah’s illness was also cured at that time. He no longer dreamed of the deep sea and was finally able to sleep well.
He slept for three days in a row, and when he woke up he felt refreshed. The fear he once felt when he saw the deep sea was no longer there, as if the monsters in the sea had disappeared.
Calculating the time, just when the sea water rose again - what he didn't know was that it was the moment when the monsters of the Pirate King's Court were separated from the sea water and became weak.
Now, seeing that the link was successfully restored, the pirate captain couldn't help but grin and listened quietly to the conversation between Ken and the lady of the scepter.
Everything is getting better, isn't it? Perhaps he will meet his pirate companions soon, and the pirate king who sits high in the royal court of Gem Bay will reassemble the Black Sail Fleet and return to the good old days.
But soon, the Lady of Wands poured cold water on them.
Scepter: "You are still at sea? You have never been to Tis?"
French Fries: "Yes, ma'am, we just came from the Corridor of Despair. We stayed there for a while to replenish supplies and saw the legendary Sunless Sea."
Scepter: "Then don't go ashore! Absolutely don't go ashore. You can try your luck in the White Crow Principality in the north, but don't go to Tis."
Her voice was fast and urgent, as if she was in some trouble.
Ken had the same idea. He asked carefully, "Ms. Scepter, are you okay? Did anything happen to Tis?"
Scepter: "Of course, you have been away for too long. To put it simply, the empire has been divided. There is a war going on in Tis. If you go there, you will definitely be detained."
French Fries: "Tis is at war? Who is he fighting against?"
Scepter: "And the Empire. Now the Church has become the actual controller of the Empire. And not only the Candlelight Society, but also the Silent Temple and those mechanical priests have all united together. The three archdukes of the North have also become independent and are now allied with Tis. The entire Storm Ocean coast has become a mess."
fries:"."
French Fries: "How did the empire become like this? I remember that the empire was very powerful before, how did it suddenly split up?"
Scepter: "The Empire is still able to fight, and it may be more capable than you think. The Western battlefield that the Queen had been fighting for several years and failed to solve was solved by the Church in one month and twenty-two days. I think the division between the North and Tis was more intentional."
Captain: "Intentional? You mean they took the initiative to create division?"
Scepter: "Yes, I don't know the specific reason, but the Empire's reaction is definitely not normal. The Church gave up the land surrounding the Storm Ocean without hesitation. There must be something wrong here."
The Church gave up the land near the Ocean of Storms? Hughes frowned.
Something did happen in the Ocean of Storms. You can see the drying up of the sea water as long as you go to the beach. But the Holy See gave up on Tis and allowed it to become independent. It seems that this happened before the incident in the Ocean of Storms, right?
If you think about it carefully, the Empire's reaction is also very strange. When something went wrong in the sea, the Candlelight Society, as a supernatural organization spanning the entire continent, did not investigate or explore, but simply and rudely stayed away.
They completely distanced themselves from the enemy, and even allowed the coastal territories to split away, as if they were doing it at all costs.
Escape from the sea.
