Chapter 89 The Knight of Will
'Mist around the sea'!
A word that is enough to make all navigators talk about it, just like the meaning represented by its own name, is an infinite fog surrounding the sea of ​​​​the sinking abyss—and it is not just a sea fog.

It is still a 'forbidden zone' for any life.

Just like the meaning of the word 'forbidden zone', any creature that ventured into the 'fog around the sea' has never come out alive, and there is only one fate for any ship that goes deep into the 'fog around the sea' -

All the people on the ship died due to unknown reasons, leaving only an empty ship full of blood stains. After a long time drifting on the sea, it escaped from the scope of the "Sea Fog", carrying an unsolvable mystery. Spotted by other voyagers, it was known as the 'ghost ship'.

Even, even an empty ship could not be kept, and was smashed to pieces by "something" due to unknown reasons, and finally turned into pieces of hull fragments floating in the sea, always alerting people to the "fog around the sea" scary place.

The real murderer who caused all this has always been a mysterious mystery with different opinions——

Some people say that there are countless aquatic monsters living in the mist around the sea, others say that the air in the mist around the sea is full of terrifying toxins that are extremely rare in this world, and some even suggest that the mist around the sea is actually a bad trick created by a group of mysterious wizards .
In short, there are many theories, but they all undoubtedly point to a conclusion - the fog around the sea is a 'forbidden zone' for any life.

Fortunately, not all seas have the existence of the "encircling sea fog". If you want to make a more symbolic metaphor for this continent, the sea of ​​sinking abyss, and the surrounding sea fog——

All things are combined into a big three-layer ring-shaped cake, in which the continent is located in the most central position, surrounded by a sea of ​​deep abyss, and the outermost layer is a perennial land surrounded by sea fog.

The 'gentle zone' refers to the layer of deep sea between the fog surrounding the sea and this continent——

These 'flat zones' range from large to small, and the small ones may only be a few kilometers in size, while the large ones are close to the width of a large empire. Areas as large as countries are specially called 'golden flat zones'.

The sea area around Cobos port is a 'golden flat area', coupled with its own superior geographical location, it is no wonder that it will become the most prosperous commercial port.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help asking: "Steve, is there really no way for us humans to go deep into the 'fog around the sea'? Is there a possibility for humans to go through the 'fog around the sea' safely? successfully found its end?"

"Where is the end of the 'Mist Around the Sea'? Have you ever thought about this question?"

Viscount Steve was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then said in a low voice: "Generally speaking, most ordinary people think that the 'Sea Fog' cannot be approached, let alone penetrated. However, I have heard some Gossip—the 'fog around the sea' does have an end, and there seems to be another continental world there."

After speaking, Viscount Steve sighed, shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I have only heard some gossip, but I have no idea about the truth of this kind of thing."

Aaron nodded secretly. It seems that the truth about the "fog around the sea" is no longer a secret information accessible to ordinary people or even low-level nobles. If he wants to continue to study, he must at least have a certain status or Contact certain great nobles in high positions.

For some reason, Aaron stroked his chest inexplicably, thinking of a mysterious and powerful existence in his heart——

'wizard'

If, among the information and materials I have collected so far, there is one that can explain the strange changes that I have encountered, or even the sea-encircling fog that lingers on the outermost periphery of the continent, I am afraid that the only word is 'wizard'.

"It seems that after arriving at the Cobos port, I have to find a way to collect information about the 'wizard'."

Aaron made a decision secretly, because he had to find out what happened to him, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping and eating-wondering whether the 'vertical pupil' in his chest was a blessing or a curse for him?

"However, judging by the current situation"

Aaron shook his head vigorously, temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, and secretly speculated: "'Vertical Eyes' is beneficial and harmless to me. If it weren't for its help, I'm afraid I would have died in the Iron Ring Forest a long time ago. Besides, I don't have anything worth coveting about, so 'vertical pupils' shouldn't seem like something with 'bad intentions'."

In this regard, Aaron was a little relieved, and asked Viscount Steve: "By the way, Steve, since you admire the prosperity of the Corvos port so much, why did you leave Corvos in the first place?" Si Harbor, came to the Kino Kingdom alone to take an adventure and fight to win the title?"

Originally, Aaron was just asking casually to pass the time, but who would have thought that when Viscount Steve heard this, his old face would turn red very rarely——

"Obviously it was a bit 'shameful' to be asked by Aaron."

With Viscount Steve's mansion and thick skin, there is actually something shameful that can make him blush all of a sudden?

Aaron was a little unexpected about this. It seems that the reason why Viscount Steve left the port of Cobos was not so 'simple'?
Sure enough, Viscount Steve stammered and said vaguely: "Uh, um, I encountered a little trouble at the beginning, and I left the port of Cobos in a fit of anger."

"Anyway, you'll find out when you enter the city."

After finishing speaking, Viscount Steve closed his eyes and recuperated, apparently not intending to continue discussing this issue. It seems that his past also has some 'unspeakable secrets'.

Aaron shrugged his shoulders. Since Viscount Steve didn't want to say it clearly, let him go. Anyway, even if there is any trouble, with his full strength beyond the peak knight strength, I believe no one can do anything to win him and others——If If An Geli encounters any trouble, she can just slash through it with her sword.

This is the 'convenience' brought by great strength, and it is also what Aaron has been pursuing.

Of course, Aaron has also tried to search for information to explain his own strength realm, but unfortunately he can't find any relevant information records, so he can only define it as——

"Knight of Will"

As for the weird ability that can be clearly grasped within one meter around, Aaron arbitrarily regarded it as——

"will stand"
