Dawn of the Grey Tower

? In Peg's uneasy words, Lothar and Networm gradually understood the so-called misty sea. The so-called misty sea area refers to a ring-shaped water area that surrounds the sea of ​​fog all year round and envelopes the sea fog all the year round. No one knows what caused it, because the sea fog looks like it is protecting the Lost Heart Bay from foreign invasion, which is very unnatural. So the sailors took it for granted to link the sea mist with the witches who ruled the Heart of Lost Bay, thinking that they had summoned this mist to protect their territory. But in fact, the members of the Frustrated Witches and those who really know the sea will know that such an abnormal climate can never be created by mortal magic.

Regardless of the reason for the formation of the misty waters, its appearance not only provides a protective umbrella for the Despair Bay, but also restricts the ships entering and leaving the port. Most of the time, fishing boats dare to fish seafood carefully on the edge of the mist, because it is said that as long as the vessel is enveloped by the mist, no one can find a way out even if the exit is close, and will only drift forever in the mist until The dead sailors are all turned into mist crows. But fishing boats can do this, but merchant ships and pirates can't, but their profession determines that they will inevitably be unable to tolerate nesting in the narrow space within the misty waters. The frustrated witches are also reluctant to make the city they manage to become decadent, so they found another owner of this sea area and concluded a covenant with them.

That is the Kraken. Regarding this race, I am afraid that there have always been countless legends and countless sayings prevailing in various seas. A sea monster that feeds on the sailors intoxicated with their singing, saves the fairy from the water, or the builder of the underwater city, as the great race of ocean masters. In contrast, Kraken also has different faces and shapes, from ugly monsters to half-human and half-fish beautiful women to humanoid aquatic creatures with scales on them. They are the dreams most often hung by the sailors. Lover, but also their deepest nightmare.

"So what does the Kraken look like? I have seen completely different versions from different books, or are they all correct, and different types of Krakens are different?" The Earl of Montenegro asked with some excitement. . To see the true face of this legendary race is enough for him to brag about his life experience. As for the beauty of the Kraken, in fact, Lothar didn't really care too much, or that sentence, he was a knight, not a sailor. The hazy impulse and the fear of lurking under the deep water were all unprecedented.

"Well," Peg looked a little strange about the appearance of the Kraken. She wrapped her fingers around her hair and said after a while, "You still have to wait and see for yourself. I can't describe them in words. They should be coming soon, no ship can swim faster than the Kraken. "

So the knight gazed at the sea with expectation, waiting for the appearance of the sea monster. This is a whole afternoon. In front, there is an unknown sea covered by sea fog, but the sun is already westward. Lothar leaned on the mast boredly. He did not lack patience, but the current situation seemed to be too far away from what the witch promised. As if to confirm his thoughts, Qi Li, who had been standing on the bow of the ship singing, also stopped singing, with an irritated expression on her face, leaving a loud syllable on the deck at every step.

"They will not come, they have not responded to our covenant!" The witch complained angrily to her companions. The half-black and half-white hair disguised as Cuira gradually showed signs of fading under the influence of emotion. Pegg was also surprised by this situation. She frowned, and her eyes were searching on the sea, hoping to see the unique splash when the Kraken approached.

But this is destined to be in vain, nothing is attracted to singing. Even the misty crows I saw before lost their patience and flew to places beyond their eyesight. The only constant response was the sound of the waves hitting the hull. "This is not the same as the original one," Peg whispered to himself. The confused elements in her eyes are very obvious, and the situation they are experiencing now exceeds the witch's expectations. It also caused her a little panic. Without a sea monster to lead the way underwater, even a frustrated witch can't safely cross the misty sea.

"It's hard to imagine that we are trapped outside our own home! Do those guys know that we betrayed ..." Qi Li's words were half covered by Peg's mouth, a thing of treason, even if there seemed to be no other listeners around Nor can you talk nonsense. It's close enough to Heart of Lost here, it's hard to guarantee that no member of the Witches will use magic to monitor this area.

"Wait, maybe the Kraken can't come here just because of some things. And we are driving the Cursed Lady, and sooner or later the Witch will send someone to pick us up." Pegg shook his head, trying to appease Qi Li. And as always, her words have no effect on the latter, all she gets are ironic answers.

"Yeah, let's wait here! Wait until we are out of water and food, until we are starving to death! Oh, gods, who knows if the old guys are still alive, they didn't say why they wanted to put Let ’s call back! But it ’s the soup pot, they are probably all dead! Damn soup pot, I ’m definitely not here because of that thing, absolutely! ”Exclaimed Qi Li hysterically, turned and walked into the cabin . But even so, her voice could still follow the breach on the deck.

Peg's spirit was obviously not good either. She had been haggard because of driving a boat. Now her future is frustrated. The little witch's face is terrible. Seeing this, Networm walked over, gave her some water and food, and sent her back to her room to rest. When the maid had settled Pegg, only Losa was blowing the sea breeze on the deck.

"How much do you believe in their words?" Networm approached the count and asked in a low voice.

Lothar smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You're a bit embarrassed to me. I'm not a cheese. I don't know the magic thing or the monster thing. I don't know. But I can see that their Emotional out of control is not pretended ~ www.readwn.com ~ thing is really beyond the expectations of the witch. But the problem is, what to do afterwards. Listen to the meaning of Qi Li just now, they have a reason to go back, this is reasonable Among them. So I do n’t think they will give up so easily. "

"Even if the so-called Kraken leads the way, I don't want to enter that water. I can't tell why, but I just feel that it's terrible." The maid looked at the sea mist in the distance with fear.

"I hope they can find a way. But this is not something that can be done today. You go to rest first, and by the way, do n’t let Qi Li break the bottom of the boat. I will stay on the deck tonight, if the misty sea is really It ’s so dangerous that those big lizards that would be invisible should n’t risk approaching. ”Lothar said, holding the battle axe on his shoulder and smiling at the networm.

The female mercenary turned and walked towards the cabin, but said back to Losa before entering the door, "I stayed up with you at night, and if you were alone, no one knew what was being pulled into the sea." Opportunity for rebuttal closed the door.

The Earl of Montenegro touched his nose and walked to the side of the boat to look down at the sea. The water here must be deep, because its color is already sinking like ink. Lotsa looked back at the sea for a few seconds and then retracted his gaze. Somehow, he always felt under the water and looked at him.
