SPLASH!

Just then, she heard another splash, as though so else had fallen into the sea

"Is there so a quick calculation of the distance between that fallen object and herself, Joan dived into the water and swa sound

She swam for around seven minutes until she sahat had fallen into the water It was a strange boat, as large as the three-masted ship she had seen, its lower part a combination of a fish and a squid The upper part of the boat was a ribcage, which housed a pulp of inner organs The entire boat looked like a dead body of a half-eaten animal that made Joan felt a jolt of nausea

However, the monster was not dead After it fell into the water, it started to swim in the direction of the ocean waves with its four fins Joan's eyes followed it, and then she was astonished at what she saw!

A little way farther on, a fleet of si in and out of her sight as the water rose and fell

After the monster that had just fallen into the water joined them, the fleet marched slowly toward the east and disappeared from her view Joan was relieved

She wondered what she should do next Since the boat-shaped risly eneh she had never seen such ood idea to approach them Ever since she had become a witch, her instinct had never lied to her

"Don't force yourself Your friends are waiting for you"

Ca out of her , Maggie and Lorgar

She wanted to go back

She had never had such a strong desire in her entire life She yearned to return to Neverwinter, the place where she had only lived for a winter but had ain!

"Ya!" Joan shouted self-encouragingly and swao

No htning had told her once that the earth was a sphere As long as she swaain!

She was certain about it!

"We have to go," Thunder said as he looked at Ca "Our destination isn't the Shadow Islands We're wasting our supplies It has been three days I don't think I can force the fleet to continue to stay here any longer"

"But" Camilla said apprehensively, "Joan's not back yet"

"This isn't your fault," Thunder said as he patted Cas any better Do you remember what you said earlier? There are two reasons for the disconnection One is that the connected individual is dead, and the other is that you guys are two far apart If you insist it was the second scenario, we have a greater reason not to linger on"

"Are you saying that we should look for her to the east of the Sealine?"

"To be completely honest, the chance that we find her there is sli," Thunder said good-naturedly "Remember that Joan is special A sailor will definitely die if he's drowned in water, but Joan won't She has lived undersea for more than a decade, so she could survive without us"

"I I see," Ca her lip "Then I'll come with you, to the 'Sealine'"

"No," Thunder interrupted her "I can't let you continue with our adventure under this condition I proated to bring you back to Neverwinter after the exploration of the Shadow Islands They need you to fight the demons Plus, only His Majesty knohat had possibly happened to Joan at the bottom of the sea Your information is crucial," he paused for a few seconds and then said solemnly, "We all have our own responsibilities, and all of us need to fulfill our duties That's e should do"

Caonized

Two hours later, the "Snow Wind" whistled The fleet set their sails and headed toward the far east One of the ships left the fleet and headed in the direction it was co

The two parties parted and soon, neither of theradually disppeared in their views
