"Your Majesty, your majesty . . . Mr. Sander Bird is back from the swirling sea!"And... they seem to be in big trouble!”

The sudden report of the prowess made Roland a little.After the meeting to expand the scale of the industry, he returned to the office, intending to continue to improve the drawings to be used, and this unexpected news completely interrupted his thinking.

The so-called Sand Bird is the pseudonym of the Thunder.

“Where is he now?”Roland stood up and asked.

"In the castle hall, he said he hoped to see you at once."

“Get him in here!”He said, "Let the kitchen have an extra cup of tea."

"Yes, I'll do it."Sean turned around and soon disappeared at the door.

The Nightinger was a little worried, “Do I want to inform the lightning?”

Roland shook his head, "Since he can come to the castle, he should not have encountered any serious problems, or ask the situation first."

According to the date, the Thunder went out to sea for a little more than half a year, and counted the return to the journey of only three months at sea, considering that they had stayed in the Shadow Islands for a while, the flowers on the road were shorter.This is far below the explorer's original plan - according to the other side's vision, the voyage will take at least a year to a year and a half, if you can, even want to see what the end of the vortex sea, whether the mainland seen in the ruins, is in the depths of the sea.

It is obviously something that cannot be counterbalanced by human beings, which makes this expedition that has been prepared for a long time and half ends.

Roland couldn’t help but look out the window.

Is it related to the red moon?

The thunder, who was named Sander, soon walked into the office under the leadership of his personal guard, and could see that he was really very confused when he came back this time, and even the camouflaged beard could not be pasted, and the pompous feather decoration was few, and if it was seen by lightning now, nineteen would recognize it.

But at least, he was still intact, and for Roland, that was enough.

"Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to see you again—" said the thunder, "I almost thought I would never come back."

Roland poured him a cold, quirky, chaotic drink, “What the hell happened?”Since it is the most outstanding navigator of the fjord islands, I think that ordinary storms or tsunamis will not let you say this."

"There are omens of storms and tsunamis, but there will be thousands of sea ghosts," the thunder seems to be in the foreboding at this moment, "let alone we encounter not only sea ghosts, but also monsters that are more terrible than that..."

Listening to each other's words, Roland seemed to feel their despair at that time, countless sea ghosts flocked to the fleet, churning back as if the sea boiled, and the slow sailing ship would be ruthlessly dragged into hell.And the sea ghosts are also mixed with the ship of blood and blood, the acid they eject can fall a few kilometers away, as long as they stick to a little will bloom, steel and wood can not resist this corrosion.Even if the sail is full, the expedition team can not pull the distance between the two sides...

“The sea...” He was like a waterway.

“Your Majesty, what is that?”Thunder asked.

“The devil’s call for another civilization,” Roland slowly told the other side of the intelligence that the devil was fighting on two lines.The rib-like vaults, the hull of flesh and blood and organs, which can float on the water like a sea ship, and dive into the sea, are almost the same as what he saw in the relics of the gods.

“You mean we broke into their territory?”

“Maybe so.It is certainly not excluded that the current life of the Red Moon has made them more active, thus expanding the scope of the tour.”Roland changed the subject, “What next?”How did the expedition escape?”

“In fact, it was not that we abandoned their pursuits, but that they themselves had civil strife.”Thunder laughed bitterly.

“Inside...disorder?”

"Indeed, the enemy's pursuit day and night, as if never to know tired, by the time we approached the sea line, we had lost more than half of the ship.Most of the sailors who are still alive are also close to collapse because they can't rest for a long time, and only the Snowwind you have the power to make - after all, she does not need to adjust the sails and course at any time."

Just when everyone was about to despair, a larger sea monster suddenly rushed out of the water and entangled one of them, as if two flesh and blood monsters were biting each other.Although they were all monsters, the former was obviously stronger, and the prosthetics and tentacles that protruded from the body quickly tore the latter to pieces.Then, whether it was the sea ghosts or the other sea monsters, they stopped chasing and surrounded them as if they were stunned, so we took the opportunity to cross the sea line and escape back to the fjord islands.”

There is such a thing, Roland exhaled, "Lucky luck is on your side, it seems that the name of the ship is really not white."

“The name of the ship?”

“No, nothing,” he waved, “what are you going to do next?”

An unprecedented exhaustion appeared on the Thunder's face, "Honestly, the loss of the ship is still second, this expedition has frightened the vast majority of people."Now the fjord is filled with a strange atmosphere, and those sailors who have fought for a lifetime at sea now face blue as they look to the east of the sea.I don't think anyone will dare to board a ship for a long time."

Roland is silent.This is not surprising, as the other side said, storms and tsunamis can be predicted in advance, brave navigators can always find a way to dance with it, but this lack of resistance, can only escape the experience, can not be called adventure.

“The great chambers will ask me to speak to you, hoping to buy a land at a high price in the Greys as a place for their reserve refuge.”Thunder sighed, "After all, no one knows whether they will make a comeback - the sea has always been a danger in the eyes of the fjord people, but if the enemy can come and go freely in the sea, the whole fjord island is equivalent to an undefended empty city."

A year or two ago, he intended to use the fjord as the last resort for the rest of his life after the defeat, but now the whole thing is in reverse.

If he had just arrived in the border town, when all the homes were less than 300 golden dragons, this transaction was absolutely desirable, but now that banknotes have begun to circulate in the territory, the so-called "high price" is no longer an attractive condition.

“What do you think?”

“I say that if it is the idea of building a state in the country, it is better to give up as soon as possible.”The thunderbolt shrugged, "You will never allow them to build new archipelagos in the Greysburgs."

Roland laughed, and was surely the most brilliant explorer in the fjord, "if only to live, rather than for the privilege accumulated by generation, the Grey Fort will always welcome them."

"I will tell you the truth, Your Majesty."

"This voyage should be tired, I prepared afternoon tea, you can first take a hot bath, and then talk to me about the experience of this trip."It will also take several days to repair the snowwind, and when you regain your energy, it will not be too late to return to the fjord.”

"Then trouble you."The thunder caresses the chest.

As he was about to retire, Roland suddenly stopped him, “Yes, the lightning thing... are you going to hide it?”

“I...” The thunder opened his mouth, dumb for a moment.

"You said that when the expedition was over, you would recognize her, and although the trip was not too successful, if the sea had occupied most of the sea today, the fjords were afraid, and you must have been in danger for a long time."Roland propped his chin and said, "And I need people to fight the devil, and the lightning wants to see his father still alive - so what about staying after the trifles are over?" 」

After a few seconds of silence, the Thunder bowed his head, "I will consider... your majesty."
