Joanna was delighted.

Other than Maisie, there were other people who could understand her mermaid language.

Of course, whether Maisie really understood, Joan is not very sure, after all, the other side's cooing is more difficult to understand, she usually can only guess only a few words.

But... what is a watchman?

She then asked, “Are you guarding this big hole?”Where is it?

“It’s not a big hole, it’s a bridge,” he said.

I’ve seen bridges, and bridges aren’t like that.Joan walked cautiously to the edge of the hole, looked at the edge, the wall was wrapped in thick soil and vines, and did not find a way down.

“Not everyone can pass through the bridge, but it must be kept by the key holder.”The woman explained, "You don't have a key, so you can't see it."

It turned out that this was the case, and Joan suddenly realized, but why should the people who build the bridge do such a thing?Is it bad to get people through the big hole?And even if there is no key, everyone can go around from the edge.

The watchman couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, it is... yes, but this is what I have to do - wait for the key to come, and then open the bridge for it."

Joan looked back at her for a moment before opening the door.

You don’t have a chain.

“What?”

If there are no chains, why not leave the island?Joan pointed to the other end of the water mist, and I saw before there that there was a continent not far away, and it should not take long to swim.Since I’m not locked up, I can take you away.

The other side nodded slightly, then smiled and shook his head, “Don’t say this.”You’ve been hurt, what’s been attacked?”

Although Joan did not understand why she suddenly changed the subject, she still subconsciously replied that she was scratched by the monster in the sea.

"Lie down next to me, I have some medicine here, just to bandage you."The woman waved to her.

I don't know why, obviously the first time to see, Joan felt that the other side is not a bad person.

After she did it according to her words, the watchman did not know where to take out a can of ointment, first on his own hand, and then carefully painted her wound.A cool spirit suddenly dispelled the pain and fatigue of the body, like a cool breeze in the heat.

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Comfortable, right?”After painting the medicine, the watchman tore his skirt into a cloth and tied it to the position of the medicine, "Yes, where are you going next?"

Go home, Joan mutter, I want to go back to my friends.

“Then you can’t go in the direction of the dark shadow.There's a continent there, but it's not where you should be."

Did you know there is no winter city?She was overjoyed.

"Well, it's probably on the other side of the dark shadow, but it's also very dangerous to go over the land, and you'd better swim along the coast."

Really?

“Don’t lie to you.But you'd better rest a little longer, and I can feel your body is running out."

Hearing this sentence, Joanton, who had felt ok, felt a tired rush to his heart, as if the fatigue accumulated in the past half a year had burst out at this moment.

At the side of the other, she really experienced a long-lost sense of relaxation.

Also, rest well.

She slowly closed her eyes.

The woman rubbed Joan’s hair again and again, saying softly, “I really haven’t been chained, but it’s not just the chain that can hold people.”Sometimes words are stronger than chains.”

I... don't quite understand.

"It doesn't matter, because I don't understand myself."

The woman's voice seemed to come from a long distance, soft and quiet, so that Joan's consciousness began to blur.

Maybe I can help you ask... I’m a little stupid, but someone is very smart, like Miss Anna, and Her Majesty Roland...

"Is it?"That's trouble you."

We’ll see you again, right?

“Well, if you have the chance...”

Joan fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, she found that it was too late.

How long have I been sleeping?She sat up, but could not get the response of the watchman.Joan looked around with some panic, and there was no one around.

Not only that, even those stone monuments are nowhere to be seen, except for the bottomless hole, only an empty grassland and peace-topped mountain, as if everything seen before is an illusion.

Is it all a dream?

No, no, Joan soon found that she still had bandaged cloth strips on her body, but the coolness of soaking in the skin had disappeared without a trace.

She hesitated to untie a piece of cloth, and found no traces of ointment on the scales, but the wound healed as before.

When Joan's face was dazed, suddenly there was a strange roar in the distance.

At this time, she noticed that the water mist that surrounded the island had not known when it had all dissipated, and the dark shadows in the distance showed the whole picture completely.

It is indeed a mountain, but it is too high to be too far away, and it is not enough to describe it with the earth.

More than that, its size is really surprising - from a distance, the mountain is afraid that it is wider than the fjord islands from south to north.There is no tree on the mountain, and the sight is dark, as if it were dyed with ink.In addition, the mountain is covered with a hazy red mist, and from time to time there are scarlet liquids erupting out!

Then Joan saw where the noise came from.

At the foot of the mountain, countless monster ships flocked to the land like ants, stacked a thick layer on the beach, they spewed out one venom after another, causing the black ground layer to disintegrate, a piece of boulder collapse into the sea, the whole coast is boiling!Although these monsters seem to be a small part of Montenegro, it is a small part of the mountain that cannibalizes a little bit!

However, they did not encounter any resistance.

In the area that the sea ship could not reach, tens of thousands of sea ghosts collided with another monster, and Joan recognized it for a while, only to find that it was the devil that everyone often hung on their lips!

The tides of sea ghosts that usually give sailors a headache are as fragile as the waves slapping on the reef, and they are swept away and splashed without shaking a trace of the devil's defense.Even so, the followers are constantly crossing the monster ship, rushing to the shore in an indestruction.

This crazy scene made Joan cover her mouth tightly.

“There’s a continent there, but it’s not where you should be.”"

“Your back is in front of the shadow."

Suddenly something in her mind sounded what the woman had said.

Joan looked over, there seemed to be no mainland on the opposite side of the Black Stone Mountain, only a vast sea, but she only hesitated for a moment, and flew in this direction.

The sight of two forces fighting each other made her feel the breath of extreme danger, and the wild instinct told her that she should leave as soon as possible, and the other point was that she vaguely felt that Miss Watcher would not lie to her.

As he hurled, Joan jumped into the water and left the roar of the day that crumbled behind him.
