King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 760: The Water Level Does Not Drop

"Let me ask you, what kind of place is Fontaine?"

Running along the only river in the desert, Yu Jin turned his head and asked the young master.

"do not know."

"what do you not know?"

After hearing this, Yu Jin almost pushed the young master into the river nearby.

"I'm not an adventurer. Who would run around different countries every day for nothing?" The young man spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

If it weren't for the mission, the young master would have been too lazy to go abroad.

Feeling the throbbing in his heart becoming more and more obvious, he said with anticipation: "It won't be long anyway. It's better to explore it yourself than to listen to others."

"Too."

Yu Jin rarely agreed with the young master's opinion. After running along the river for a while, the long-lost coolness swept over their bodies again.

This time, the water vapor was no longer coming from a big lake, but a real ocean.

"Hiss... Isn't it said that there is a port at the border of Xumi Desert and Fontaine? Why can't I see anything?"

Looking at the endless ocean in front of him, the young man felt a little worried.

"Maybe the route we took through the desert was wrong." Yu Jin thought for a while and then replied.

The desert of Xumi had changed its terrain in the previous war. Apart from anything else, it was absolutely impossible to go to Fontaine along the river before.

Therefore, it is very likely that the two of them ran to some unknown corner of Xumi and Fontaine.

Ignoring the young master's sad expression, Yu Jin ran to the edge of the sea beach.

The yellow sand turned a lot whiter under the washing of sea water, and even looked dazzling under the sunlight.

And on this neat beach, a number of broken iron swords were quietly inserted on it, and they were beaten by the waves, drawing a winding black curve on the beach.

"No way? The water level didn't change at all?" Standing next to the iron sword, Yu Jin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

These iron swords were specially inserted by Yu Jin on the coast to serve as water level lines. He thought that after the water from Fontaine poured into Xumi, the water level would drop a little, but now it seems that, let alone drop, Yu Jin even doubted whether the water level had risen again.

"What's wrong with you?" The young man naturally also saw the beautiful "scenery" on the beach, and out of curiosity, he also ran over.

"Nothing, I just think the water in Fontaine is a little strange." Yu Jin said perfunctorily while sitting cross-legged on the beach.

"Is it strange? I don't see it. But there seems to be a famous prophecy in Fontaine, which says that water will flood Fontaine, leaving only the water god crying on the throne."

The young man kicked in the water, and white waves splashed.

"How do you know about Fontaine's prophecy?"

"Come on, this old-fashioned story has been passed down for hundreds of years and has almost become a stereotype of Fontaine, right?" The young man spread his hands, looking nonchalant.

This prophecy sounds terrifying, but hundreds of years have passed and Fontaineland has not been flooded.

"I see." Yu Jin nodded thoughtfully. Originally, this prophecy was known to everyone. He thought it was Fontaine's top secret!

Thinking of this, Yu Jin suddenly felt that this prophecy was so cheap. Shouldn't such a thing be uttered by a very powerful person in a mysterious way?
How come it has almost become an urban legend that scares children?
Just as Yu Jin was daydreaming, he saw the young master jump over the "fence" surrounded by iron swords in front of him and jump into the sea.

"Phew! We're finally in Fontaine. I'm covered in sand and dirt. It's so uncomfortable!"

The young man swam around the beach like a nimble fish, but before he could wash in the water for long, the calm sea surface suddenly began to shake.

"Boom!"

A long vibrating sound came from the deep seabed, and then the young man felt that the sea water was turbulent, as if something was stirring the seabed.

"Undersea earthquake?"

With such doubts, the young man quickly ran onto the beach. But the amazing thing was that the vibration came and went quickly, with only a sound and then no more movement.

The shaking sea surface then calmed down again.

"Crash! Crash!"

The waves were hitting the beach as usual.

"Pop!" The armor on Yu Jin's body darkened, and he looked down at his body, which was wet. He raised his head and saw that the iron sword in front of him had been submerged to a depth of about two fingers.

Just now, the waves here seemed like they would never reach Yu Jin, but now, in just a short moment, water had begun to drip from his body.

Looking at the rising and falling waves, Yu Jin felt that it was a provocation, a naked provocation!
An ocean with water levels rising so quickly must not be allowed to exist!
After making up his mind, Yu Jin stood up from the beach. He turned his head to look at the young master who ran ashore. At this moment, he was shirtless and wringing out the water from his clothes.

"You are in Fontaine, you are not allowed to go in the water!"

The young master stopped what he was doing, looking confused. What had he just done? Why couldn't he go into the water for no apparent reason?
"Uh..., no problem!"

After hesitating for a while, the young master decided that it would be better to agree first. After all, looking at Yu Jin's expression, he would be beaten if he didn't agree.

Anyway, when I separate from him, I can do whatever I want in the water, and Yu Jin won’t know.

Young Master Wu was thinking this, and then he saw Yu Jin stepping into the sea step by step.

"They didn't let me go into the water, but I went quite deep myself." The young man muttered to himself as he put on his wrung-out clothes.

He was ready to part ways with Yu Jin right here. After all, he came to Fontaine to look for young whales, and how could he look for whales without going into the sea?
"Gululu..."

Hearing the sound of churning sea water behind him, the young man turned around stiffly, and then saw countless bubbles rising from the sea.

"Pop! Puff! Snap!"

Bubbles rose from the seafloor, some were tens of meters in size, and some were only a few meters in size. When the whitish bubbles burst, they were filled with hot steam.

Gradually, the entire sea surface began to become hazy, as if it were at dawn. However, anyone who was not blind knew that the sea surface at this time was not as cool as at dawn.

The young man had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at all. He wiped the sweat from his head and ran backwards with all his might, even though water vapor would only rise upwards.

"This guy...could it be..."

"laugh--"

The fact was just as the young master expected. The bubbles disappeared, and were replaced by the constantly surging sea surface and gushing steam.

"The sea... is boiling...?"

The young master stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his heart already shocked beyond words. How much heat is needed to boil the sea?
He shook his head, a little afraid to think about it. Anyway, with his limited knowledge, this is an impossible number to calculate.

"Hulonglong!"

The sea was swallowing up the excess, and the roar of the boiling water was no less than that of a thunderstorm.

After a long time, the raging ocean gradually calmed down and returned to its former tranquility.

The shocking scene just now made the young master hold his breath involuntarily. Now that the pressure in his heart was relieved, he began to breathe heavily.

“Hoo, hoo, well…”

Then he covered his nose. The reason was simple: who would have thought that the rising white steam would be mixed with a foul smell?

The clouds in the sky grew thicker, the water vapor dissipated, and the young master was able to see the embers gradually emerging from the sea.

"What did you do? It stinks!"

Pinching his nose, the young master immediately ran over to ask. The stench was so strong that he forgot about the boiling sea.

"Are there any cooked fish on the sea?"

Ember asked, confused.

"No." The young man looked into the distance and said in doubt.

That’s right, the sea is boiling, why is there not even a dead fish on the surface?
"Hmm...it seems that snacks are still very attractive."

Ember folded his arms and nodded with satisfaction - he couldn't smell anything anyway.

"Snacks?"

"Yes, I'll give you one."
