Deafening hurricanes shot up from the bottom of the sea, mixed with a large amount of blue and rushed upwards. Deep lightnings were like cracks in the void, constantly appearing and disappearing due to self-healing.

As time passed by, the violent wind and lightning never subsided, and the sky even became darker and darker, making it impossible to judge the time by the sky's color.

"We are almost there." Okfa suddenly said.

"Hey," Anderson wiped away the rainwater running down his hair, "It's actually already here."

No more people participated in their meaningless topic. Everyone looked seriously at the faint light that gradually appeared at the junction of sky and water.

All people on the sea are familiar with this light.

"Judging from the intensity of the light, the technology used before Emperor Russell was used. A kerosene lamp was used as the light source. Through a lens system floating in mercury, the lighthouse keeper controlled the lens system through the device to project the light on the sea. ." Edwina looked at the lighthouse in the distance and said.

"This is normal," Spasnerecki said. "The God of Death set off storms in the Sea of ​​Storms before the Fifth Age."

"Everyone, prepare for battle," Edwina nodded and gave instructions to the crew, "Control the speed and direction, we are ready to dock."

"As ordered, Captain." The crew member on one side smiled, raised his hand and stroked the brim of his hat, saluted, and ran back.

Even though the light of the lighthouse was far away, it still took more than half an hour to actually see the land.

Agnes narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the dark shadow in the dark rain curtain with her narrow black eyes.

She saw strands of black and blood-colored silk threads, wrapping the island in front of her like a cocoon. The ends of those unfathomable threads stretched into unknown places, dyed with a vague gray and black color.

There was an indescribable feeling of fragmentation. Agnes blinked her eyes, and the thin black in her eyes disappeared.

"Are they going up with us?" Agnes glanced at the busy crew members around her and asked softly next to Edwina.

"They will stay on the ship." Edwina said.

"Indeed," Agnes nodded thoughtfully, "for them, even staying on the shore is dangerous enough."

The crew on the Evelina was skilled enough, but even so, it took a lot of time to get close to the port guided by the lighthouse.

The people in the dimly lit hut on the port side seemed to have noticed the approaching Evelina and walked out of the house.

"Damn it!" Anderson's face turned ugly after seeing the figure holding an umbrella and holding a lantern.

"It's Ax..." Okfa also looked unhappy and whispered the name of the person who came.

"It seems he was your former companion." Agnes raised her hand and pressed the wide-brimmed hat on her head, and whispered.

The two didn't speak, just approached the side of the ship.

The man holding the lantern directed the Evelina to dock in a very standard manner, then raised his head and carefully looked at the people on the side of the ship.

Agnes' keen vision allowed her to see the man's withered face and the smile that gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile looked relaxed and happy.

The next moment, Agnes saw the man drop his umbrella, waved exaggeratedly, opened his mouth, and shouted:

"Hey - hey, are they Little Okefa and Anderson?" The man's voice was mostly swallowed up by the sound of rain, and successfully got into the ears of the people on the side of the ship.

Agnes saw Anderson calm down his ugly face, almost leaning most of his body on the side of the ship, leaning forward and shouting below: "Hey, Akers, you call him that, Okefake is angry." ."

"Fart," the man below cursed with a smile, his voice penetrated the rain curtain with a little illusion, "It's definitely you who said that that made him angry."

"Nonsense," Anderson looked distressed and patted the side of the boat. "Is this the kind of person Okefa is?"

There seemed to be nothing unusual about Anderson's chat with the person below, who seemed to be named "Akers," but the visible shriveled face and the shriveled hands exposed from under the wet sleeves reminded everyone of his abnormality.

"Do you want to get off the boat?" the man holding the lantern asked.

"The sailor needs to stay and watch," Anderson replied seemingly unsuspectingly. "My friends and I are going to the city to buy some things to replenish our supplies."

"Then you have to ask the sailors to put away the gangway later, arrange more people to keep watch, and don't listen to the sounds that shouldn't be heard," the man holding the lantern said with a smile, "This ocean is always full at night." surprise'."

"Of course," Anderson said looking triumphant.

He took a step back, a little further away from the side of the ship.

"He can no longer tell the difference from those in the city," Okfa sighed softly, "although his thinking still seems clear."

"Pull up the side of the ship, send more people to keep watch, and don't listen to unusual sounds..." Edwina frowned as if thinking about something.

"There's no harm in making more preparations," Spasnerecki said in a bright voice, "Even if the unfortunate gentleman doesn't say anything, we will make such an arrangement, right?"

"She just got this information, and she is unwilling to dig out the deeper things in it." Anderson shrugged and said carelessly.

"We need to be more careful," Edwina said. She looked up at the crew around her. "If you encounter anything unusual, you..."

"Captain, you can't prepare everything for us," a young crew member said with a smile on his face, "Now that we have come to the sea and embarked on this wild sea adventure, we have been well prepared... ....”

"I think in the future, the crew of the pirate generals can't even ask their own captains to teach them how to deal with irregular events at sea, right?" The young crew member replied with a little joking, "People on the Five Seas will not let us 'resign ourselves' 'Opportunity."

"I just hope you don't underestimate the anomalies on the violent sea." Edwina was silent for a moment and said with a serious expression, "After we leave, your safety can only rely on yourselves. I can only leave you with The agreed means of contact may not be able to take care of you."

She paused and continued, with a little doubt in her voice, "Besides, I need one of you to go take a look at the lighthouse over there. I always feel like there's something weird there."

The young crew member seemed a little strange and asked, "Captain, why don't you go and investigate for yourself?"

Edwina shook her head, "My intuition tells me that everything in the city is the prerequisite for solving all the mysteries."

Agnes listened to the conversation between the two and cast her eyes on the lighthouse towering on the edge of the cliff.

"No matter what it is, at least it can light a light for people in the dark." She said casually.

In the gloomy rain curtain, there are some black marks on the solid tower, maybe the moss or just the wet marks of the rain.
