Chapter 288: Island
Island of the sea, an island hidden in the eastern part of the deep blue sea.
The island wasn’t big, only a few tens of kilometers in size. It was a circular ring, and only the outer ring was exposed. Looking down from a high altitude, it looked like a ring, which was why it was also called Ring Island.
Click! With a light sound, the sailboat docked at the dock.
The Knights who followed the boat jumped off the anchor, tied the rope, and built a bridge to completely stabilize the sailboat on the shore.
“Wizards, you can get off the boat.”
Heath followed Jackman and got off the sailboat, looking at the environment in front of him.
In front of him was a wide road, about a few hundred meters wide. In the middle of the road was a lush forest, and on both sides of the road were beaches, and on both sides of the beach was the sea. However, the seawater outside was dark blue, while the seawater inside was gray. It looked strange.
Jackman explained, “This is the inner sea of our Deep Sea Kiss. Because there are a lot of Gray Seaweed, the color of the seawater looks like this.”
Heath said, “Oh.”
Gray Seaweed was a type of magic seaweed. It had the effect of mediating the water source to increase the content of the elements in the water. When breeding sea-type magic creatures in specific areas, Wizards liked to place some of these Gray Seaweed in the seawater.
Jackman said, “Let’s go. There’s still a long way ahead.”
“Flying is forbidden here. The Wizard Master and the others have set up many magic arrays here. If we fly up, we’ll be shot down instantly. So we can only walk on our feet.”
After a pause, he pointed at the road ahead and said, “Every time a new Apprentice arrives at the port, the first thing to do is to lead them around the island.”
Heath smacked his lips and said, “That’s still quite a distance.”
Although the road was not wide, it was long enough that one could not see the end of it at a glance. There must be at least tens of kilometers of it.
Jackman laughed and said, “Haha, don’t worry. Those are just Apprentices whose targets have joined our Deep Sea Kiss. Letting them suffer a little is beneficial to their growth. If they are guests, there is no need for that.”
Heath raised his eyebrows and expressed his puzzlement.
Jackman did not explain. Instead, he brought Heath to the dark gray sea that was separated by a road.
When they came to the beach, he took out a conch and gently blew on it. The conch emitted an irregular sound that spread into the distance.
Unlike the undulating dark blue sea outside, this gray sea was like a lake. The surface of the water was as calm as a mirror and not the slightest fluctuation could be seen.
As the sound fell, ripples quickly appeared on the surface of the sea. The ripples grew faster and faster, accompanied by a series of ‘gulp gulp’ sounds. A series of bubbles rose up from the lake, and then… one could only hear…
Splash!
A small boat rose up from the bottom of the sea.
Jackman pointed to the center of the sea in the distance and said, “Our Deep Sea Kiss is actually there.”
Heath looked at the center of the sea, but found nothing.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Illusion?”
Jackman nodded and said, “It only looks empty. We will only find it when we get closer.”
Heath was speechless and said, “The defense measures of Deep Sea Kiss are really extraordinary…”
Heath almost suspected that this was a Dark Wizard organization. If it was not for the Wizards who were familiar with this place, it would not be easy to find them.
Jackman said, “There’s nothing we can do. Unlike you Wizards on land, we are directly connected to those disgusting creatures in the sea. Laws and conventions have always been short-lived for them. No one knows when those guys will come looking for trouble.”
Heath suddenly understood. “I see.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Jackman then beckoned Heath to sit on the small boat.
Clack, clack, clack!
At this moment, the sound of flapping wings was heard, accompanied by the sound of ‘coo-coo! coo-coo!’, and a gray owl flew over from the forest in the distance.
Jackman, who was about to board the boat, suddenly stopped when he saw the owl.
At the same time, the owl circled around and shouted, “Jackman! Jackman! Why didn’t you greet Miss Nasha when you came back? Why didn’t you greet Miss Nasha when you came back? Coo, coo!”
“Are you trying to rebel? Coo! Coo!”
Jackman frowned. “I have a guest to entertain. I’ll look for her when I’m done here.”
The owl continued, “What guest is more important than Miss Nasha?! Coo coo! What guest is more important than Miss Nasha? Coo coo!”
At this moment, Heath suddenly felt a strange sensation under his feet. He looked down and saw an unremarkable little flower suddenly appear under his feet.
It looked unremarkable, but Heath keenly felt an elemental fluctuation from it.
He hurriedly moved to the side to avoid it.
And almost at the same time that he moved to the side, the strange little flower beneath his feet suddenly opened its petals in a human-like manner, and like an arm, it hugged the spot that Heath had stepped on just now.
Bang!
The little flower on the ground exploded in a strange manner, leaving a crater on the spot.
Heath frowned.
The owl said, “Coo coo! No one is more important than Miss Nasha, no one. Coo coo. Alright, if you don’t want your guest to be hurt, go to the Love Forest now.”
After saying this, the owl flapped its wings and flew away.
Jackman cursed angrily, “Troublesome woman!”
He frowned and said to Heath, “Heath, my friend, I have some private matters to take care of. I can’t send you over. You follow Alice. Alice, help me bring Heath over.”
Alice, who was at the side, snorted lightly and did not say anything. However, her attitude clearly explained everything.
Jackman said, “My sister, I am very serious in asking you. This is very important to me.”
Alice hesitated for a moment and eventually took a step back. However, she still stubbornly said, “I won’t be on the same boat as him.”
“Alright, Heath, I’ll hand you over to Alice.”
“Oh.”
Jackman left, while Heath sat alone on the small boat. Alice took out the conch and summoned another small boat by herself.
She boarded the boat and said coldly, “Sit on the boat and don’t move. Don’t care what happens in the sea. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Then, she blew a syllable at the conch and the boat went into the sea.
Just as her boat started to sail, Heath’s boat started to move for no reason. It followed the boat in front and headed towards the center of the sea.
‘No matter what happens in the sea, don’t pay attention to it. Could it be that there are dangerous goods here?’
Looking at the dark gray sea, Heath frowned in his heart. The hospitality of this Deep Sea Kiss made him very dissatisfied.
Forget it. At the very least, Jackman didn’t seem to be g*y?
But what if he wasn’t g*y? He looked at him with shining eyes all day long. Could it be…
He was bis*xual?
Wizards with a long history could not be understood using the structure of normal creatures. There were many Wizards who liked both women and men at the same time.
Some Wizards were even attracted to wild beasts and even strange creatures… Heath had heard of Witches who raised tentacle-type demonized creatures to meet their physiological needs and so on…
