The Amber Sword

Tevid Island is like a fortress hanging alone on a dark sea surface, with a mountain peak that can only be seen at the southern foot of the peak from the Strait of Tavida, where vegetation flourishes. Moonlight spills over a narrow waterway between Tevid Island and the West Coast, shaking like a pool of silver foil floating over a sparkling light.

The cape to the west of the island extends into the sea, blocking the rear view, with a lighthouse on the long cape, but the light columns on the lighthouse do not illuminate nearby waters, and the black paint stands above the sea level, as if it were a watchman standing under the night.

A few nautical miles south of the island, two forward and three backward sailboats hung full of sails and the stern dragged a long trail across the sea, slowly heading towards the waterway between Tevid Island and the western coast of the Strait of Tavid in the silent night.

The sailboat proceeded at a speed of six knots and quickly crossed the cape. Brando stood at the bow of the boat and saw the beacon, similar to the one he had seen in the sea of eternal darkness, the lofty inner sea and so on, slowly thrown behind him. When the waterway was completely open to the crowd, he saw the harbour in the bay opposite it, north of the island of Tevid.

“There's Gussel.” Instarone also looked in that direction and said: "This is the territory of a few spiritual wizards, the group that deals most with humans among all the dark nobles, and they need materials, skeletons and materials to administer them. In short, it is very troublesome that the port was built by smugglers, initially only an anchor, and then gradually expanded into the prototype of the town, and most of the inhabitants of the port are actually humans. ”

“What about the dead?” It was the teenager lying on the side of the boat, the adopted son of Nassin, the young man named Sebastian. Though he was devastated to learn of Delphine's ‘relationship' with Brando (which Delphine lied about as Brando's fiancée) - the young man's mind was, after all, as light as a cloud and seemed to have returned to normal at the moment.

Phoenix Fire promised the Rosalind family the status of the Nine Phoenix nation - in fact, the enclosure beyond the borders of the Nine Phoenix. But Lord Rosalind naturally could not abandon his foundation, and the migration of the territory would take a long time to prepare, so the teenager boarded the boat with Nassin.

“Dead spirits rarely establish settlements in fixed places. Apart from some cities in the Dead Sea during the Dead Moon, dead wizards are more accustomed to living in the Wizard Tower. Although they also mine minerals and build workshops, dead spirits do not need to live in private spaces, so their strongholds are usually just a castle, a manor or even a cemetery.” Blank stood next to Brando and explained to him.

“is the inferior spirit.” Stallone added.

The dark paint of the port of Gusser leaves only a rare glimpse of the stacked bridge that reaches the surface of the sea under the moonlight and sees a bad feeling rising in everyone's mind - an era that, while not as glorious as future generations, a human port will never be able to see a single light or light unless something changes in the port.

But Brando, Delphine, Installon and Tagus didn't say anything, they all waited close to see what was going on. There was no one on the deck to talk at any time, only the wind left, and it seemed unusually quiet.

In this silent silence, the sailboat sailed into the Tevid waterway and plunged straight into the waterway in the direction of the harbour, and there was no boat or slab on the nearby surface, except on the starboard side of the right boat, a few chains away, on the beach of Tevid Island, and the rays of turbulent stones were white in the moonlight, as if covered with white bones.

Seeing this scene, the teenager also quietly shut his mouth.

The boat quickly approached the harbor, but it was at this time that the heavens were not beautiful, and the thick clouds flowing from there covered the moonlight, lowering the visibility of the waterway for a moment, surrounding it in the shade, and the light dimmed a lot.

Only Tagus and Instaron were left unaffected among the people, and Brando could see a long way with a faint sense of light, but after all, the dark vision of the dead was no different than that of the dead.

The three stared closely at the harbour, where a row of sailboats, two masts, and only a few large boats, with masts standing like forests, could not see a wind light or even a faint candle fire, and no one above them could see any signs of human activity.

Brando's gaze swept through the cargo piled up on the other side of the stack bridge, and the presence of these cargo and vessels meant that the port itself was not affected, so why can't a boat be seen on the surface of this area all day?

“There are people in the port.” Tagus suddenly said silently.

“What?”

“There are people in the harbor, there are people on board, and we can smell life.” Instaron also closed his eyes and looked at the port of Gussell with some intensity.

“You're sure you're talking about the boats docked in the harbor. Are they normal?” Brando pointed to the mast forest and asked, if the harbor was okay, but the boats looked like a ghost boat, with black holes in the boat, and there were no windlights on the stern and mast. If one or two were understandable, but each one was like this, that would be weird.

“I did not say they were normal, Mr. Count, but there were people on board, which is certain, unless someone intentionally misled me and Tagus with spells.” Instalon replied.

“How many? ”

“Ten less, twenty or thirty more, in the lower compartment, if you're talking about those boats," continues Instaron, “the people in the port are evenly distributed, and in those buildings it doesn't look like an ambush. ”

“So now, Gussel, everything's fine?” Brando stared at Gussell Harbor and raised his eyebrows deeply: “Do you think that's normal? ”

Instaron shrugged: “Seriously, I think it's weird. ”

“So, Phoenix, Mr. Liu, have you ever been to the port of the Dead? ”

Mr. Liu shook his head: "The harbour is a bit odd, and even a curfew would not have made it to this point. ”

“Shall we go ashore and see?” The Phoenix Fire turned back and asked.

Brando looked to Installon, who was unfamiliar with the area, and as Madala's groundsnake, the decision was obviously best left to the two dark aristocrats.

“Take a closer look. ”

Tagus silenced for a moment and replied.

Miss Adenie opened the hatch door, probed her head, looked at Brando and others on the deck, frowned, and then sat back on the stairs leading to the lower compartment.

She looked at her little buddies and whispered, “Come on, Quill, what are we going to do now? ”

Knights and gentlemen from Rubik are surrounding their vice president's lady, whispering to each other about what the Elf Rangers are talking about a little further away, wrapping their hands around each other, leaning against the cabin walls of the narrow aisle, pressing their long bows on their backs.

Listening to each other, he looked up at Adeni and shook his head gently: “The only way to do this is to talk to that person for a while. I think there should be a reason for pulling Lord God's eyes at that time to know that such a thing would happen. ”

“Mr. Naquel, we all know what you're talking about, but the question is, in what capacity are we staying on this ship?” There was a knight whispering.

“Nature is clear," replied Naquel, "that man is the Messenger of the La God, and we can follow him perfectly. It is also in accordance with the will of Lord La God. ”

Can you explain that?

The knights were stunned.

“What if he's not?” Adenie seemed a little reluctant, although she was just a deputy chief, but since leaving Rubik, the team had been under her command and no one was willing to give that power to a stranger.

Still for such a strange reason.

“Just look and you'll see that the feet are on us, aren't they? There's nothing in the big desert that can hold back the freedom of the wind and sand. ”

“Hey, I'm not disapproving,” Adenie sighed. “I mean, let's put it another way. ”

“In other words?” The knights stood still and wondered what else could be said: "Captain, do you have any more insights? ”

“Don't you think we could be hired by His Eminence the Apostle,” Adenie's eyes sparkled in the dark: “Is there a difference in remuneration? Our Apostle Lord looks very rich. ”

“Martha's on, I knew it...”

“Our Knights honor, it's all over. ”

“We apologize to Lord Hussein. ”

The knights suddenly burst into haunted tears.

A cry came from over there, even into Brando's ear, and he frowned and glanced at it.

Those men were also rescued from the ship of the haunted car, and when he didn't wake up, Tagus and Installon thought they were Blank's men, and Blank thought they were his men, which is why a dragon put them on the boat. However, people could not be thrown off the boat at sea. That's why they stayed on the boat. They were expected to leave the boat on their way to Qingyuzhu Hill, but I didn't expect this to happen again.

And Brando always thought those people were familiar and seemed to have seen them somewhere.

He quickly gathered his emotions and looked back at the bow - at a time when the boat had sailed into Gussel Bay and could not see the small boat or anything to guide, the harbour was quiet, not more than half a mile from here towards the bay, and the outline of the entire harbour was clearly visible, yet there was still no movement.

As if their three ships had entered the bay without causing any reaction.
