This indicated that she went straight to the castle after the ship disen

"Did you just get here?" Roland asked as he poured a cup of tea for Ca journey Hoas Thunder's exploration?"

Camilla drained the cup and nearly choked in her cup "S-so at the Shadow Islands JoanJoan disappeared!"

"Disappeared?" Roland echoed, his heart sank rapidly, and he exchanged a dark look with Nightingale "What happened exactly? Slon Tell me what happened"

That hat happened" It took Camilla half an hour to finish her story "We floated on the sea for two days, but Joan didn't come back Thunder said only you would knohat happened to Joan undersea Are those floating pillars and the distorted space real?"

"This is incredible!"

Roland rubbed his forehead in a painful sort of way The er it turned out to be The bizarre phenomena in the Dream World had already confused him a lot, and it appeared the real world was equally thened stone pillars and fishes did not seem to be a result of external forces, the evidence to which was that neither Ca pain when Joan's fingers had elongated

Both of them were physically fine

The only possibility Roland could think of was that the space was distorted in the depth of the ocean

Although it sounded pretty outlandish and there was not a shred of evidence to support his theory, Roland knew he had to provide some reasonable explanation to Caht him for advice instead of Tilly showed that she orried about Joan's safety Froed that she had not slept well for the past few days Perhaps, she was not only concerned about Joan but also blamed herself for Joan's disappearance

So, he had to say sos before, such as a Sealine perpendicular to the horizon, so a distorted space would not be as nearly peculiar as the for last, "I think Thunder was right"

Camilla instantly held up her head and asked, "Do you also think Joan's still alive?"

"Yes, and she's probably now to the east of the Sealine"

"So, she transported herself somewhere thousands of uess here, but one thing is certain, that the water level of the Shadow Waters did drop, right? The change in the water level even impacts the tides at the Fjord Islands, which indicates that it's a great a about here So, where did the seawater go?" Roland said more to himself than Camilla as he picked up a quill and drew a circle on a piece of paper "I gather they went to the east of the Sealine"

Caht for a while and said, "Thunder did say that the seawater near the Sealine were heading ard"

"Because if the water didn't go there, the Swirling Sea would have dried out after two or three tidal cycles," Roland said as he drew another circle several inches apart from the first one "The question is, if the water was transported from one place to another, the tidals should have come at intervals However, in fact, the water currents are o through these two circles at almost the same time So, what's the fastest way to travel froer on the area between the two circles with uncertainty and asked tentatively, "Go straight?"

"In theory, yes," Roland said as he drew a straight line, "but there's another possibility" He then folded the paper, and then the two circles overlapped "In this way, the water can get to the other side alasped, "How how can that be possible?"

"It is weird, butscience can explain For exaale can transport herself froh solid walls, which is not so common sense can explain either"

"" Cah it's now just a hypothesis, one thing you ," Roland said as he thrust the quill through the circles "You see that this quill has traveled from the front to the back However, in reality, it traveled in a straight line So, back to the fish If the fish traveled thousands of miles within a second, ould you see?"

Cas that are far away always look significantly smaller than those close to you Therefore, the fish didn't elongate The reason you saw it being stretched was that its body had been thousands of h and looked much more relieved "If the other side is also the ocean, Joan should be able to survive"

Roland nodded

"Thank you" Ca sideways and fell to the floor

Nightingale caught her just in time

"SheI'll let Tilly know"

"Yup," Nightingale said as she carried Camilla under the crook of her arm and vanished into the Mist
