Chapter 166 Compass
Cecilia looked at the scenery on the sea and recalled that the last time they came here, the conditions were not so good.
Although it was already late autumn and winter was about to begin, and the wind on the sea had already begun to become a little bit cold, the weather was still much better than when they came here that year.
When they came here, the shipping industry was not as big as it is today.
It can only be said that there is a prototype.
They followed the local master and built a small boat without any equipment. Thinking that everyone in the group had some skills, they set off on their journey in the boat without any equipment.
When we left, the weather was barely good.
Some people also reminded them that the weather might change and it would be better to set off at another time.
At that time, Bernadotte was urged to go by Demetra.
Obviously, for Cecilia, Cecilia didn't pass away that long ago, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
Anyway, we finally set off at that time.
Cecilia still remembered that before she set off, the system reminded her that according to the system's weather forecast, the weather would really change.
But at that time, Elar had already made the decision to set off immediately, and no matter how much Cecilia said, it was of no use.
Sure enough, less than half a day after we went out to sea, the weather changed.
There were strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder.
The small boat they built without any documents was overturned by a wave.
Several people were forced to separate in the sea.
Fortunately, Cecilia had the help of the system and found an island nearby to settle down.
After Cecilia arrived at a safe place, the first thing she thought of was to see if she could find her lost companions.
Still with the help of the system, Cecilia determined the location of everyone except Demetra.
Demetra was an elven girl.
In terms of age, Demetra could have been their grandmother at that time.
No, even great-grandfather deserves it.
After Cecilia gathered everyone together, no one believed that Demetra would die.
The elves have the ability to communicate with all things, naturally including this endless ocean.
Cecilia didn't believe it either. At that time, she was very dependent on the system and urged it to find Demetra quickly.
Finally, Demetra appeared in front of them riding a mermaid and told them that they had found the Mermaid Island.
On the way to Mermaid Island, Demetra said she was knocked unconscious by a wave and sank to the bottom of the water.
Then he was rescued by a mermaid.
Several people on the Siren's back said that they would definitely express their gratitude to each other when they saw each other later.
Demetra told them expressionlessly, "It is the mermaid who is carrying us now."
Cecilia still remembers the embarrassment and shock she felt at that time.
The entire ocean is the mermaids' territory, and they can roam freely everywhere.
The Mermaid Kingdom is just a place where people go back every ten years to attend a celebration.
Of course, there are also powerful mermaid leaders such as patriarchs and priests who rule the mermaid kingdom.
The magic power of mermaids is somewhat different from human magic.
The mermaid's magical power is essentially a manifestation of her control over the ocean.
Cecilia was fortunate enough to see that the mermaid chief could change the water flow in the entire sea area by himself.
Cecilia still remembers the overwhelming pressure in an instant.
Legend has it that mermaids can transform their tails into human legs and walk on land.
This is also nonsense.
There are only two forms of mermaids, one is half human and half fish, and the other is siren.
The inability to walk on land also ensures human safety.
They have no interest in land.
The whole sea is enough for them to live on.
Even though they have the power to move mountains and seas, the mermaids have never thought of occupying living space on land.
Although some mermaids are curious about humans on land, they don't think humans are very interesting when they see them falling off the boat into the sea and crying for their parents and praying to God.
According to the mermaid, it was the first time she saw humans in the sea who were as united and calm as they were, and she found it very interesting.
In addition, Demetra sank to the bottom of the sea but still survived.
Some features allow the mermaid to recognize the identity of the Demetra elf.
This was the first time the mermaid saw an elf. She was curious and didn't want her to die so easily, so she rescued her.
Everyone heard: ...
I didn't know what to say for a while.
Especially when they later learned that it was not the power of nature that pushed them into the sea, but the mermaid's secret manipulation.
The gratitude I had before has dissipated a lot.
Finally, under the guidance of this mermaid, they successfully reached the legendary Mermaid Island.
Before they got close to Mermaid Island, everyone saw many sirens.
He looked at the mermaid beneath him again.
Everyone swallowed.
Even if they were asked to come here, they would not believe that this is the real Mermaid Island.
Some sirens turned back into mermaids and communicated in the way mermaids do.
Cecilia still doesn't know the content of the communication.
The result was that all the sirens within sight turned back into mermaids.
The mermaid who had carried them all the way turned back into a mermaid after sending them to the island.
Each mermaid's tail is a different color.
Very few mermaids have pure-color tails; most often they are mixed colors.
Each one is beautiful.
The mermaid's tail that had carried them all the way was blue, green, yellow and silver.
The tail sways in the water, and the color you see is different every second.
Under the reflection of the fish scales, the entire tail glows silver.
Except for Demetra, all the others in their group are human. If they want to go down to the mermaid kingdom under the sea, they have to pass the test of the mermaids.
Cecilia thought of how embarrassed they were when they were teased by the mermaids, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
"Your Highness, the compass is broken."
Hearing this, Cecilia put away her smile and came out of her memories.
"What do they say, Captain?"
Joyce shook his head. “The captain realized something was wrong and wanted to turn back.”
Cecilia nodded to show that she understood.
Since they made the appointment for this boat trip, she and the captain have never communicated again.
After getting on the boat, all the sailors on the boat were silent.
Everyone is doing their own thing.
Looks like a well behaved ship.
Joyce followed Cecilia to find the captain.
When Cecilia saw the captain, she first asked with a smile, "I heard that the compass is broken?"
The captain simply glanced up from his hands and nodded, humming.
He did not question whether there was something wrong with Cecilia's map, nor did he ask Cecilia whether she was going to take them to their deaths.
He just said calmly, "I don't feel right. It seems to be heading towards the Siren Island. I think it's better for us to turn back."
Cecilia took out a compass slowly and handed it to the captain, "I have a compass here that can be used."
