"What's going on?" Austin sat up, shook his head, and asked.
"There was a heavy fog when we got up, and we couldn't see anything. When we got ashore, we found that you were already lying on the ground." Ma Fei answered quickly.
Austin called Doug and Beowulf in his heart, but there was no response as if they were lost in the sea.
"Besides the fog, are there any other changes on the island?"
"No, everything is normal." Henry shook his head, "The instruments on my body tell me that there is nothing abnormal about this fog."
"Really?" Austin murmured to himself, stood up and looked into the distance, "Then let's continue."
"But Captain, you just woke up..." Martin hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to take a rest first?"
Austin shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter. It's not necessary. Business is more important."
After saying that, he seemed to have sensed something. He subconsciously took out the voyage diary, and the content behind it was indeed updated.
[Gargoyle Atoll also seems to be an unusual place. This time when I returned to the island, I actually encountered the Sands of Time, and had a strange reaction with something on the island. Because of this, I went to the future. 】
[I heard from ■■■■ that this is the Extreme Freeze, the battlefield of the Second God War. ■■■■■, if the future can really develop like this, then I will have no regrets in this life or death. But what can I do to achieve this future? Austin■■■■■? 】
[There are a lot of interesting things here, a collection of resentments of dead creatures, transparent monsters that jump with the help of mirrors, and indescribable weird existences in the abyss. I originally thought it was just a mythical species alienated by divine power, but when I entered the abyss, I discovered that there was a more terrifying existence in it. Could it be a god that had not fallen in the war between gods? 】
[I have clearly gone to the distant future, but I have become younger. It is really puzzling. I hope this effect can last into the future. 】
After reading this, Austin curled his lips.
Benjamin is so good at writing nonsense that all useful things have been drawn out throughout the story, leaving only things that Austen can surmise.
But so far, the content of the Gargoyle Atoll has not been completed. Encountering the Sands of Time was just an unexpected trip for Benjamin. His own goal has not been achieved. This island must be explored carefully.
Austin thought about the underwater palace where he encountered those strange sea monsters. He didn't know where to go, but only Lysa and Revry knew the entrance to the ruins, and these two people are still missing——
"Hi, we meet again."
Austin was stunned and looked towards the direction where the sound came from. It was the "missing" Lysa and Revery.
"Why are you... here?" Austin frowned, and gestured to Ma Fei and others with his hand behind his back, telling them not to act rashly.
"It's a pity that the last exploration was only half done. Do you want to continue with us?" Lysa smiled.
"Didn't I tell you already? The Mariano is not here, and there are still those guys below."
"No, no, no." Lysa smiled and shook her finger, "We are not here just for the Mariano, not even for Benjamin."
"Um?"
"Aren't you curious? Who sealed the Mariano here? Who left these ruins?" Lysa's eyes became brighter, "This is exactly why we came here."
Austin was shocked, but remained calm on the surface. He shrugged and said, "But I'm here today to take you back."
"Why? Just you?" Revery, who had remained silent, said.
Austin twitched the corner of his mouth and looked behind him, only to find that his crew members had gone somewhere. His pupils shrank, and he quickly concealed his shock and said word by word: "What did you do again?"
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Lesa shook a gem necklace in her hand, turned and walked forward, "Anyway, they will be fine for a while. If you want to save them, just follow them."
Austin gritted his teeth and finally followed.
"There is a cave ahead that leads directly to the ruins. Our main goal this time is the library. We will try to rescue it and see what useful things we can find."
Austin thought to himself that this is almost Benjamin's base camp, what else of value can be left for you?
"As for those monsters, we are well prepared this time. As long as you follow us closely, you will be fine."
While they were talking, several people had already entered the dark cave. Revery was walking at the front holding a torch. Austin remained silent, observing the cave walls on both sides.
The experience he just had in the Permanent Freeze gave him a severe case of PTSD, and he always felt like strange things would come out of the walls on both sides.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but it’s really shocking when you look at it – at first Austin thought the pits and pits on the cave wall were caused during excavation, but now after a closer look, he discovered that they were the remains of murals left by artificial carvings.
Due to the long time ago, most places have been blurred, but some places can be roughly distinguished. It seems to tell the story of a mortal hero defeating gods. Austin is skeptical about this. He believes that the so-called gods in the murals are likely to be powerful mythical species.
"Are you looking at the mural?" Lesa slowed down, deliberately walked to Austin, and asked.
Without giving the latter a chance to speak, she said to herself: "These murals are those of gargoyles. To be precise, they were painted by the original gargoyles before they transformed into gargoyles. A powerful hero emerged among them. Legend has it that This guy killed a god."
"God?" Austin frowned, "Isn't he a mythical species?"
"They are real gods." Lysa shook her head and her tone became serious. "Why do the gods of light and darkness control two completely opposite powers? It is said that it is because one of the 'light' and 'dark' was... The hero kills.”
"Is there really someone who can kill gods?" Austin thought thoughtfully.
"This is exactly what we are here for." Revery stopped, "If this kind of power really exists in the world, we must not let it fall into the hands of those with evil intentions."
"Huh?" Austin didn't expect this guy to say such "righteous" words. He was a little confused, and then questioned, "Then you must not be such a person?"
He looked at Lysa: "You are loyal to Poseidon. What if Poseidon knows the existence of this power and sends an oracle to let you kill several other gods? That will inevitably trigger a war between gods."
Lysa stared into Austin's eyes without hesitation: "So I will destroy this power without Poseidon knowing. I am also the princess of Meletni Kingdom."
