Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

Goletia rarely enters a deep sleep, so she woke up when the ghost shark woke up. Just as she was about to ask about its physical condition, she found that the ghost shark had taken some steps that were very consistent with the birth and continuation of the Terra species.

She hadn't seen the individual born from the union of Agor and Drake yet, so she didn't know what kind of creature it would be. The probability was very small, so small that it could be ignored.

So, she listened to the sound of the waves and the noise of the old wooden boards for more than an hour. Skadi probably heard it too, but to save Ghost Shark's face, she continued to lie on the bed and pretend to sleep.

Everyone is pretending, only the person involved is clueless.

The person involved thought he was very restrained and did not affect the people around him. This kind of thing only happens in Eastern movies and comics that are only for adults, and it is impossible in reality.

Feng Qingyu took a nap for a while, and when it was completely light, he was awakened by Gloria's voice, which sounded like she was scolding a subordinate who was sleeping in.

"My little princess, it's eight o'clock in the morning Iberia time. If you sleep any longer, we will leave you alone and go to Granfalo. Don't worry, we will really do it."

"Yes, the Second Captain will really leave you behind, so get up quickly."

Skadi was holding a toothbrush in her mouth, brushing her teeth with the mineral water in her backpack. Ghost Shark had already dressed up and was sitting in front of the window admiring the ocean under the clear Iberian sky.

It rained heavily in the morning, and the strong wind blew away the dark clouds in the sky, giving Saltwind City a rare sunny day. The sun added a bit of warmth to the air, and the jacket could be stuffed back into the backpack, allowing the skin to fully contact the sun.

Granfalo is in another part of Iberia. The transportation hubs and routes of Iberia have been completely destroyed, and they can only travel by water now.

There are no vehicles in the city, and no one here needs transportation.

Crossing the land by foot is time-consuming and inefficient, and there is no aircraft on hand. Rhodes Island will not open an office in Iberia for the time being, there is no need for that.

Skadi's boat is still there, but the citizens of Saltwind City are not interested in it. As long as no one wants to leave this dead cage, the boat will remain there.

Those who wanted to leave have already left, and those who remain are those who don’t want to leave or can’t find a way to leave.

The cabin space seemed even more cramped with one more person, especially for Gloria, who had to take off her hat and bend her waist when she stood up, otherwise she would hit the low roof.

She is the tallest woman Feng Qingyu has ever seen except Xingxiong. The heights of the other operators fluctuate between 170-175 cm, and even Kal'tsit is still 1 cm away from reaching 170 cm.

Ghost Shark and Skadi look particularly short in front of Gloria. Maybe it’s because she is too tall and has to look down at others when she speaks, which gives her the illusion of being condescending?

Feng Qingyu tried to excuse her, but to no avail.

"Draco, why did you come to this devastated land?" asked Gloria.

"I came to find a relic. My great-grandfather was a Victorian nobleman. This matter is related to him..."

Feng Qingyu repeated the story he had heard from the old servant Cyril in full, and prepared himself to be criticized. The credibility of a story that was heard from someone else needs to be verified.

"The black magic sword from the depths of the ocean. I seem to have heard a fellow archon talk about it."

Goletia's words became a new breakthrough.

18. Glenfarlow

"Magic sword? Do you know the origin of that thing?"

"Archons of Argor must be aware of the movements of various places on the seabed at all times. Many years ago, a group of people split from Argor and established their own country. That was before the Terra era. Even the most authoritative books in the Argor National Library do not have an exact number of years from today."

"Amazing! You are worthy of being the Archon. Please tell me more about the sword."

Feng Qingyu's impression of Gloria suddenly changed from a cold-blooded archon to a knowledgeable Agor.

What she described was a blind spot in the entire Terra database. There was almost no decent content about the legend of the sword on the Internet. The Williams family had kept a low profile over the years and few people knew of the existence of the sword.

Agor is an unknown and mysterious existence to the land, and our knowledge of it is not even the tip of the iceberg.

The vast ocean and the immeasurable amount of sea water have become a natural barrier blocking the progress of people on land, and have also caused inevitable information gaps. The development of land has always lagged behind that of the countries below the ocean.

Since there is a story to listen to, I'll open a can of beer and let Goletia have the floor.

"Since you have a strong desire for knowledge, I don't mind exchanging some more information about the seabed. Besides, that sword is related to your family, so it's really pitiful to keep you in the dark."

"So, please give me, a poor man, a chance to know the truth, great Lady Goletia."

"Shut up. Let's get back to the topic."

The tall Agor refused Feng Qingyu's flattery and reached out to pat her head, trying his best to restrain his strength.

No matter how much you restrain yourself, the painful parts will still hurt.

"Many years ago, a separatist war broke out in Agor. Some Agor nobles were dissatisfied with the political system at the time and believed that Agor must be ruled by an independent monarch and that the power of the country should not be dispersed among the archons. The forces represented by the archons fought against those noble forces for a long time. In the end, the nobles were defeated and driven out of Agor at that time. Those forces were called the 'old aristocracy'.

The old nobles, as the name implies, are conservative and like to do things that are not in line with the trend of the times. Although many countries on Terra still adopt the monarchical dictatorship system, the monarchy has its drawbacks, and all power is concentrated in the emperor. The Agor governors at that time did not want to see the chaos in the early days of the founding of the country again, so they did not continue such a system.

There were many consuls, and the power of Agor was dispersed among them. The consuls checked and balanced each other, allowing the country to remain in a relatively stable state. The system has continued to this day, and no one has ever thought of changing it. "

Goletia tells a long story about the ancient history of the Agor, which is almost unknown to the people of the land.

"You mean, this sword comes from a new country founded by the expelled old Agor nobles, and that country has never appeared in any of Terra's records."

Based on her story, Feng Qingyu also made some speculations that he thought were reasonable.

"Yes, that is a country called R'lyeh, built under the sea trench, a veritable underwater country. Agor did not set foot there, nor did he want to have any intersection with that group of people. They never interacted with each other. The emperor of R'lyeh loved to practice witchcraft, and the sword was also refined in a special way. It is said that the chief swordsmith used some weird spiritual Originium technique on it. That's all I know. As for why it appeared on the shore, that is something you should investigate."

During the narration, Goletia's tone did not fluctuate much, and she described these secrets without any personal feelings, like a ruthless lecture machine. These histories will not be recorded in the textbooks of the countries of Terra, and their authenticity is their fatal weakness.

If we replace it with the symbol of Victorian monarchy, the Breath of Kings, it is something that can be seen and touched, so there is a picture of it in every history book.

"Thank you. Come, have a drink. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's not a compliment."

Feng Qingyu casually offered the beer she had drunk, but by the time she realized it, it was already too late. Goletia had already taken it from her smoothly and drank the remaining half of the can.

"The wine on land... the taste is really not good. It tastes too bitter."

"That's not how you drink."

"It's better than nothing. I'll go to the bow to get some fresh air first. Besides, there are often fish in the waters near Glenfarlow. The caves near the sea have become their nests. I'll go to keep watch."

After saying that, she left the cabin carrying the folded spear, and the narrow space became a little more spacious.

After everyone left, Feng Qingyu realized that what he had just done was an indirect kiss. Ge Leitiya looked normal, perhaps she didn't take it to heart.

The Archon's mind is broader than the sky and wider than the sea. A mere indirect kiss is as insignificant as breathing in and out.

Good, she is safe now.

The journey to Granfalo was smooth, although some terrifying fish approached the side of the ship and tried to jump in or climb onto the deck, but they would be shot down by Gloria's spear in the next second.

It was not an ordinary shootdown. She used a fighting method that was extremely similar to dancing, tearing the sea into indescribable fragments that fell into the sea.

Instead of running away, the other sea otters swarmed over and devoured their companion's shredded bodies.

The sea snakes understood this matter as "supply" and there was no way they would be afraid. They would only swallow the scraps of the sea snakes to replenish themselves and prepare for a new round of material circulation.

They value selfless dedication and sacrifice themselves for their brothers and sisters, and Godetia's behavior has also been misinterpreted.

Feng Qingyu listened to the sound of the long spear cutting into the flesh of Hai Si in the cabin, and his scalp was tingling and he felt a little relieved. The sense of attack was full, more exciting than some games.

"Add me in, I want to chop these weird things up too."

She drew her sword and fought side by side with Goletia for the first time in a true sense.

The two of them turned their backs to each other and pressed the parts that needed the most protection together.

Goletia's body was also cold, about the same temperature as Skadi and Ghost Shark. The body temperature of the Agors would only rise a little when they did something unspeakable.

"Land people, be careful and don't let these things touch your body."

"My swordsmanship can handle this situation. Back then, I was a well-known figure in the streets of Longmen."

Green and silver phantoms passed over the water, and several fish that tried to approach were cut in half. A disgusting smell spread over the bow, and dark blue blood turned into flying mist, and finally merged with the ocean.

Killing the terror fish is equivalent to a vicious cycle. Leaving them alone will cause big trouble, and killing them is also troublesome. The chopped-up bodies of the terror fish are like a constant source of feed, attracting more of the same species to come and feed.

The battle with Hai Si allowed Feng Qingyu to regain some of the feeling he had as a gangster. Although he wasn't very powerful, at least he was able to dispel the confusion in his heart, make his blood boil, and fill his whole body with passion.

It is just as the saying goes - Draco is born to be warlike, and nothing can extinguish Draco's fire and fighting spirit, not even death.

There is no danger of death when fighting Hai Si together with the Deep Sea Hunter, so just treat it as a small fight.

Several sea monsters with jumping abilities pounced towards Feng Qingyu. She turned her wrist and blocked them with the side of her sword. The next second, Gloria stabbed them to pieces. The two of them cooperated very well.

Later, Skadi and Ghost Shark also joined in the operation of clearing obstacles in the sea. After countless repeated resistance and cutting actions, the sea herd finally showed signs of retreat.

This group of Sea Heirs has more powerful attack power than the group of Road Shapers on the Xiostasi beach. Even though their individual strength is relatively weak, they can use human wave tactics when their numbers increase.

The deep-sea hunter's body can withstand a long war of attrition. When the sea shark evacuated the ship, the ghost shark still felt a little reluctant to leave.

"How boring that you left before you could even move your body. I thought I could fight a stronger Kaiji."

The circular saw was stained with blood, and minced meat was stuck in the gaps between the teeth. She waited until the boat passed the area where Hai Si's body was floating before she sat on the bow and put the weapon into the sea to wash it.

The flowing seawater can wash away all stains, and the sea breeze can blow away the strong smell. The fierce battle just now was not even an appetizer. The deep-sea hunters did not show any signs of fatigue and were in a very good spirit.

Feng Qingyu also imitated the ghost shark and let the sea water wash away Hai Si's blood. After the last trace of stain disappeared in the vast blue, he wiped off the water droplets with the cloth used to wipe the weapon and put it back into the scabbard.

The outline of the seaside town of Granfalou gradually appeared at the end of the sea level. The color of the buildings was not much different from that of Saltwind City. The architectural style was still mainly cold, simple and gray, with no particularly bright colors.

The dead silence and solemn atmosphere surrounded the town adjacent to the Eye of Iberia. The distance between Granfalo and the Eye of Iberia seemed very close, which gave people a visual deviation. In fact, it was still a long way from Granfalo.

They did not pass the Eye of Granfalo on their route because there were more terrifying fish there. The lighthouse had become a nest for the terrifying fish, and it was covered with traces of darkness. If there was no special need, it was best not to approach it rashly, otherwise they would be giving away their lives to those creatures.

The deep-sea hunters deliberately avoided it, and they must have their reasons. They would not approach until the day when they had to climb the Eye of Granfalo.

Skadi was at the bow, observing the situation near the town through a telescope.

"We are lucky today. We didn't encounter any patrols from the Inquisition. This is a key surveillance location for the Inquisition. Intelligence says that people from the Deep Sea Church are secretly operating nearby, trying to get the townspeople of Granfalo to join them. Last month, there was quite a commotion. The guys from the Inquisition went on a killing spree in the town, killing dozens of people and taking hundreds away for investigation. You can often see ships with the Inquisition logo near the Eye of Granfalo, and you may also encounter an Inquisitor in the town."

"It's a pity that we can't fight them in a big battle."

Ghost Shark showed a look of great disappointment.

Kal'tsit also reminded her many times during this trip, asking her to pay attention to her state during the battle, especially her mental state. It is easy to sink into the pleasure of killing. Even if you enjoy the feeling of fighting, you must restrain yourself and suppress this impulse and desire.

The Inquisition is almost an enemy of the Agors, and it is a pity that we cannot fight openly.

"Our goal is not to be an enemy of the Inquisition, but to find out what made you like this. Shark, you can't become a madman who only knows how to fight and kill. You are my most valued teammate and comrade."

While saying cheesy words, Gloria patted the ghost shark on the head to kill it.

The serious Archon actually said such gentle words, which really created an incredible contrast. In Feng Qingyu's cognition, this woman would never smile, nor would she speak softly to others.

It must be because I fought with Haisi for too long, and was affected by the smell of their blood, causing the same hallucinations as in the ancient castle to appear in my eyes.

It must be like this.

How could that Goletia laugh?

In the blink of an eye, Goletia's smile disappeared, which made Feng Qingyu more certain that his eyes were hallucinating. Mirages are not only found in the Sargon Desert, but also in the sky above cities or on the sea.

The ship stained with Hai Si's blood landed smoothly. Unlike the dock of Saltwind City, the dock of Granfalo is still in use, and there are several ships moored at the port. The residents here are still able to move normally, and are more flexible than the citizens of Saltwind City.

Although they were agile, their faces and eyes were tinged with a gloomy atmosphere, and they were not as free and easy as the people in other countries of Terra. The haze of despair would not favor one over another because of different geographical locations. It was equally and evenly distributed in every corner of Iberia.

The people of Granfalo looked as if they had lost their parents. Feng Qingyu randomly approached someone to talk to him, but the other party didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"What's your business?"

The women of Liberia who were picking up shells on the beach had a nonchalant look on their faces, with heavy dark circles under their eyes, as if they had been over-rewarded or had not slept well at night.

Feng Qingyu has asked so many questions that his mouth is covered with calluses, but he still has to keep repeating the same words to others.

"Do you know where the best location in Iberia is? Also, is there any land near Glenfalo that was bought by Victorian nobles?"

"I don't know. I've never been to school and I can't read. If you want to ask, go ask the mayor, Uncle Tiago, or the most knowledgeable Amaya. They may know what you want to ask."

Liberi absentmindedly threw out a reply that was not really an answer, and continued to pick up shells in the shallows, not even bothering to say a word to her.

"Hiss... at least it's not a complete loss."

She wrote down the two names that Liberi mentioned and returned to the deep-sea hunters.

"Where are we going now, gentlemen? Are we just going to walk into Glenfarlow?"

"I think so. There are many foreign Agors active in Granfalore. They will only look at us twice. They don't care why the outsiders come, but only care whether they will be in trouble with the Inquisition."

Goletia has never been afraid of these people's eyes.

19. Seaside Town

Today is Feng Qingyu's first visit to Granfalo.

Before she met a few deep-sea hunters, she had no idea there was such a place. Some maps did not mark the name of Granfalo, but only the huge lighthouse standing in the ocean in front of it.

The Eye of Iberia and Granfalo are across the sea, and both have a sense of loneliness and desolation. And that lighthouse is the last one left in the whole of Iberia, Skadi said.

Finally, it means that all other lighthouses have collapsed in the Great Silence, and only the last one is left in all of Iberia.

How sad!
