Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"Okay, next is to turn to the right."

The heavy ship moved to the right under the control of the steering wheel, slowly moving to the opening that Goletia had torn. The outer wall of the circular theater supporting the island above was being squeezed and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Goletia had already reached the limit of what she could do. When the ship passed the highest point of the exit, a "little" friction was generated, and the top of the superstructure was knocked a little crooked.

When it was impossible to tear open a larger exit, they had to sacrifice part of the ship in exchange for the entire hull to squeeze out smoothly. Feng Qingyu had never operated such a large vehicle before, and his palms were cold with nervousness.

Goletia returned to the boat, her tall figure walked through the corridor and flashed into the cabin.

Several display screens in the wheelhouse were working normally, and one of them could see the stern. The bow had passed through the exit, followed by the middle. The outer wall of the theater finally couldn't bear the pressure from above, and the last support was deformed under the absolute gravity.

Seeing that the stern was about to be crushed by the collapsed wall and island, and the entire ship was doomed to be buried at the bottom of the sea, Feng Qingyu hummed a classic lyric, and his right hand seemed to be driven to slam one of the buttons.

"The golden age will return again——"

This line of lyrics comes from a record called "Fools' Song", produced by Terra's most famous music company Siren Records. It intuitively expresses the Iberians' desire to return to the golden age and has achieved considerable sales.

Although the style of the song is relatively classical, like the sea songs sung by sailors when the fleet set sail more than 60 years ago, the style of Siren Records' songs has always been free, and no one can predict what language the next song will be in.

It could be Colombian, Ursus, or even Syracuse.

Feng Qingyu successfully put on the role of an experienced old sailor, humming the ship song and operating the behemoth skillfully. He managed to escape successfully one second before the building collapsed completely, and the ship was able to leave the underwater cage that had trapped it for 3/5 centuries.

"The next step is the floating mode, and then increase the displacement."

Using the knowledge gained from the contract with Agor's Demon Sword, every subsequent step was safe and sound.

Although Feng Qingyu himself had always been skeptical about the promise made by the magic sword, fortunately there were no mistakes during the driving process. The heavy hull discharged the seawater inside with a force that was unimaginable to people on land, and like a giant golden whale, it rushed straight towards the sea surface dyed red by the setting sun and sparkling with gold.

It can't wait to return to the world where it belongs.

The process of the boat floating up was not completely smooth. The bow was tilted upwards and Feng Qingyu had to hold on to the steering wheel tightly to avoid being thrown out by inertia.

This time, Goletia also had to find a suitable support point. The shaking of the boat was not a minor problem. She didn't want to fall in the cabin and become embarrassed, making the mere land people laugh at her. In the end, she chose a sturdy metal handrail in the cabin.

"You owe me a lot for today's mission. How are you going to pay me back?"

"I'll give you some of the money from selling the boat. Whether it's the Feng family or the Williams family, I don't have much inheritance. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay for hiring a deep-sea hunter to go out on a mission, unless I can pay in installments."

"Forget it, you might as well pay it back with your tail. The shark looked like it was enjoying itself this morning. I'm curious about what it feels like to mate with Draco."

"Ms. Goletia, are you serious?"

The tail suddenly felt cold.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing. Sharks and killer whales like to play with you, that's their business. I only care about whether I can find Breogan's heritage and whether I can return to Agor."

Goletia took off her hat, and her long white hair became extremely elegant in the sea water. The headband that tied her hair had broken, and the loose hair made her look less cold and sharp.

42. Air on the Sea

"It's rare that you can joke."

Feng Qingyu would not try to figure out whether this sentence was true or not. Since Gloria said it was a joke, it must be a joke. She was always very direct and never considered the hidden meaning when she spoke. She could just understand it literally.

If the world had more people like her who understand directly and fewer people who tell riddles, it would be a better place.

"The Archon is also a human being, not a god or demon without emotions. I cannot abandon my emotions as a human being. Please understand. I am about to go to the surface of the sea. How do you feel?"

The glass in front of the cab reflected blue and warm light alternately, refracting a halo of multiple colors, which was dazzling. They were getting closer and closer to the sea, and the familiar land and air were within reach.

"The feeling... probably a sigh of relief. When I entered the sea, my mind was extremely tense. After it was over, I suddenly relaxed like a snap. It felt like everything before was just a dream."

"You are very much a landsman. Exploring the sea is a dangerous thing. You are the only landsman I have ever seen who dares to follow the Agor people to the sea basin. Even I have to give you some recognition."

"I am very honored."

Feng Qingyu loosened his grip on the steering wheel a little.

A part of the ship's hull on the display screen looked like a giant golden whale emerging from the sea, breaking through the azure barrier and stretching its bulky body into the dry air.

Ghost Shark and Skadi had been waiting on the shore for a long time, so long that Ghost Shark took a nap in the cabin and Skadi was also drowsy, so she passed the time holding a novel she bought in the bookstore.

They received no communication from the bottom of the sea and remained on standby, waiting for their companions to return magnificently from the bottom of the sea.

When I read the last chapter of the novel, a few drops of seawater flew onto the book, leaving a few circular water stains on the white paper. The water stains spread across the book, causing wrinkles where a small paragraph of text was.

"Ok?"

Skadi closed the novel and stared at the sea.

Today, the Iberian Sea is calm, with no sea urchins causing trouble, no storms or huge waves on the sea, and a rare sunny day. Residents of the coastal villages spread out their clothes and bedding to dry, and expressed their hope that such weather could happen more often to prevent their clothes from getting damp and moldy.

His eyes met the sea surface, and the calm sea surface was stirred up by a huge object from below, creating layers of waves.

If there is a large tsunami of natural disaster nature, the Rhodes Island operators will send a message in advance, and the communicator will definitely ring non-stop. When a tsunami hits, I will also feel uncomfortable, such as difficulty breathing and blood agitation in the body.

Since it was neither a natural disaster nor a sea heir, there was only one possibility left - Feng Qingyu and Gloria were back.

The two colleagues made their appearance in a very special way. The first thing that broke into the peaceful scene of the Iberian beach was a golden warship. The design style combined the strengths of both Algeria and Iberia. The elements of the two countries were combined to create an amazing sense of harmony.

The sight of the ship emerging from under the sea was so shocking that for a moment, Skadi even forgot to move the paper book at her feet, her eyes completely attracted by the ship.

Although it was much smaller than Agor's real warship, it was indeed a ship built according to warship standards. There is no such luxurious ship in Iberia today.

The golden warship looked even more imposing in the afterglow of the setting sun, stripping all the colors of the surrounding scenery and naturally becoming the focus of attention in the area.

The remaining daylight was like a spotlight shining on the protagonist from directly above the stage, making the ship the undisputed protagonist of this sea area.

There were two wet people standing on the bow deck. Feng Qingyu had a black sword on his waist, and Gloria looked very tired. Both of them were safe and sound, and did not encounter any major danger during the several hours on the seabed.

Skadi waved at them, and Feng Qingyu waved back at her. Gloria still stood there indifferently, shaking off the sea water from her long white hair.

Two other deep-sea hunters became the second group of passengers on the Mini Fool, bringing with them a small set of helper tools for cleaning.

"You should need them."

The hull was not so clean, either. Moss and seaweed were entangled in some corners that were not easy to notice, and it was too troublesome to clean it manually. In front of such a large ship, the perseverance of cleaning a 200-square-meter room became insignificant.

The miniature version of the Fool is about fifty meters long and more than ten meters wide, so it is still very troublesome for several people to clean it up.

"Thank you. I was just thinking of borrowing it from you. It would take me half a month to clean it all by myself."

Feng Qingyu sat on the bow of the boat that was drying, with his legs dangling in the air, enjoying the evening sea breeze as he drifted with the waves.

The air on land is indeed more comfortable.

Undersea exploration is thrilling, but too much excitement can easily cause adverse reactions and induce more serious deep-sea phobia. Half a minute after leaving the sea, Feng Qingyu couldn't breathe, and was almost facing hypoxia, followed by suffocation.

She breathed in the sea air greedily, as if to make up for the missing hours.

Goletia's pair of wet boots suddenly appeared behind her.

"Ms. Kuroba, I have to interrupt your rest time. We have to leave this sea area first. Someone has seen this ship."

"Ah... I'm sorry, the Inquisition will probably keep an eye on us. With such a large ship, it won't be long before those people find us. Do you want to find a place to hide first? I'll ask Dr. Kal'tsit to find me a companion to stabilize the ship first."

After being reminded, Feng Qingyu finally remembered that there was a tribunal.

The Inquisition was very overbearing, and there were rumors that some judges had confiscated citizens' property. The nature of this ship was special, and it was hard for the Inquisition not to have evil intentions. Feng Qingyu didn't want to hand over his things, even if the other party was the Iberian government.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to come into conflict with the Iberian authorities as a foreigner.

Thirty-six strategies are the best.

The deep-sea hunters unanimously rejected Feng Qingyu's proposal.

"We have nowhere to go right now, so it's safer to stay on the ship. With this ship, we can sail smoothly on the sea and find the real Fool. We can't just swim to find the flagship of the Iberian Golden Fleet that has been lost for sixty years."

Skadi said.

"I agree."

The sober ghost shark also echoed her.

The three deep-sea hunters used the ship as a temporary camp, and the small boat borrowed by Skadi was also stored in the storage room on the lower deck and kept as a lifeboat.

43. Patient guidance

Before sailing, Feng Qingyu temporarily named this ship, which was modeled after the Fool, the "Wise Man" to distinguish it from the real Fool. After all, this ship was not the real Fool, and it could not be compared with the flagship from the Golden Age.

Although she hummed the magical lyrics - The golden age will return again, the key to whether that era can reappear does not depend on her.

An outsider from Victoria cannot lead the country in any direction. Whether Iberia progresses or regresses, exists or perishes, it has nothing to do with her.

After getting the magic sword, the relic of the Williams family, and bringing the ship to the surface of the sea, the next arrangement is to accompany and help several deep-sea hunters, so that they can find the real Fool as soon as possible and return to Agor's arms.

When the time comes, she will drive this ship around Terra, leaving her footprints on Terra's important routes, and having her passport filled with visas from various countries. The first stop will be Sargon, where there is a small mobile city belonging to the Williams family.

The ownership certificate of the mobile city was stuffed into a waterproof box, together with the design diagram of the Wise. The name of the mobile city was Lagos, and it was currently docked near the Akahura Jungle. The city was very chaotic, with no relevant department to manage it, and even the kings and chiefs were not interested in such a city.

Lagos gathered a large number of infected people, who came from Sargon's various mobile cities and tribes, and some came from other countries and regions.

They were all expelled people who could not find a place to stay anywhere else. Cities like Dossores were too expensive, and Sargon's tribe could not stay there, so they compromised and chose this city as their new home.

The previous mayor of this chaotic city had passed away a few years ago, and now the position of mayor is vacant. The person who manages that area is now Javier's good friend, Inam, who runs a market near Akahura.

She has been chosen as the chieftain of that area. If she wants to gain management rights over Ragus, she only needs to get in touch with Inam and ask Javier to mediate, and she will be able to move in smoothly.

Managing a moving city is also a new challenge. First find the real Fool, then work towards the position of mayor of the moving city, and then become the king of Sargon.

Feng Qingyu was caught up in beautiful fantasies, or delusions, about the future.

"Land man, what are you daydreaming about? Start the boat. I guess someone has already notified the Inquisition that a large ship from the sea suddenly appeared on the shore. If you don't want to cause trouble, just start sailing. Even if you are intercepted by the Inquisition, it will be when the Fool is found."

With the urging voice of Goletia in her ears, she returned to reality from the dreamlike scene and used the fire spell to light the dry tobacco. The familiar smell made her feel at ease.

The relationship between the Agors and the Iberian Inquisition began to deteriorate sixty years ago, and there was a reasonable explanation for Goletia's anxiety.

"Right away, let's go. In fact, this ship has an automatic driving mode, and can actively detect and sense the surrounding reefs, and generate a safe route to avoid them. I know what to do. For dinner tonight, we can only eat the dry food and instant food brought by Rhodes Island. The kitchen helper on the ship is still cleaning, and the ingredients have not been purchased..."

"You are so long-winded. Are you a 70 or 80-year-old lady?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Archon, I will shut up and start the boat."

Feng Qingyu didn't continue arguing with Gloria, but walked up the gangway and went straight to the captain's room that belonged to her.

She went from being an ordinary operator of Rhodes Island to being the captain of a medium-sized ship, and she felt quite complicated. There were no crew members on the ship, and the three deep-sea hunters were only staying temporarily.

When the time comes, they may leave.

Feng Qingyu couldn't help feeling sad and disappointed when he thought that he might be the only one on such a big ship. Except for a few people who don't fit in, most people are social animals.

Humans raise poultry and livestock in groups to prevent them from feeling lonely. It is even more impossible for humans to endure long periods of loneliness without craving for companionship.

The future is like the vast ocean of Iberia, with no end in sight. We have decided on the next destination, but what about the future?

"Ah... I can't think of it."

It was too difficult for her to sort out her thoughts and think clearly about the next few decades or even hundreds of years. Regarding the future, you can consult Kal'tsit, whose age is suspected to be in the five digits.

The ethereal voice of the Demon Sword Guardian came to my ears again.

She always appears when she thinks it's appropriate, making Feng Qingyu look more and more like a mentally ill patient who likes to talk to herself. As long as someone sees her, they will definitely have such suspicions.

"It's a good idea to be the Sargon chieftain. There are foreign chieftains in that country. In a country where the Sargonians decide everything by force, even if you are a foreigner, if you can subdue the people with your fists, they will definitely respect you as the only leader."

Astelan's tone was full of instigation.

"Your great-grandfather, Old Williams, had also been to that city. He conquered dozens of gangs and tribes in Lagos with his fists. Although he was a man with abnormal brain circuits, his martial arts skills were impeccable. He also served as the mayor of that city for a period of time. Later, he felt that the daily life of pleasure was too boring, so he decided to study Iberian culture."

"I would rather he settled down in Sargon. That place seems a bit backward and the weather is hot, but at least it's not as hot as Iberia."

Feng Qingyu somehow followed the path of his predecessors. Perhaps this was fate.

The sword at her waist continued to incite her.

“Would you like to set a small goal?”

"what?"

"Go see the 'Golden City' that Sargon talked about in the legend. Even old Williams has never been there. Don't you want to see it with your own eyes?"

"You want to go, don't you?"

"You could say that. The meaning of my existence is to guide and help my contractors to move towards a wider world in Terra, and embrace a successful life that ordinary people cannot reach. You can look through the genealogy of the Williams family. Although your father and grandfather did not achieve anything, every generation of heirs before them had done something that caused a sensation."

"I don't have a family tree, sorry."

Ever since she learned that she was actually the true heir of the Williams family, Feng Qingyu had never touched the legendary family tree. That kind of thing was meaningless to her.

Everything will eventually turn to dust.
