stand up.
"Did you hear that?" Oswald went ashore silently and whispered next to Kevin.
Kevin squinted and nodded.
The voice that had disappeared before reappeared, and this time it was clearer than ever before, so clear that it could be heard without going through the ground, as if it was not far away.
Kevin's face became serious, and he said to Oswald without looking back: "Dry yourself, let's copy through the woods."
Oswald shook off the water without a teacher, and followed Kevin towards the periphery of the forest.
The trees here are dense and the branches are staggered, so that it is difficult for the sky to leak in. Countless unknown birds and insects hid among the dense leaves and chirped, all kinds of sounds intertwined, but it didn't seem noisy.
This almost became the best cover for Kevin and Oswald.
The sounds they made as they grazed grass and trampled on dead leaves were all drowned out by these calls.
The distance from the edge of the lake to the end of the forest was much longer than they had imagined, but the speed of one man and one beast was extremely fast, so it didn't take long for the forest trees to gradually thin out, and they could see through the branches and leaves that were no longer dense. , and vaguely saw the dark water surface in the distance, as well as some vague figures.
"Hush—" Kevin gestured to Oswald, but his steps didn't stop at all.
After a while, a man and a beast finally got behind the thick branches of a tall tree, and the leaves that hung down like long hair hooked together, like a door curtain just to cover them.
Kevin gently lifted the long leaves hanging in front of his eyes with his fingers, and squinted to look out.
As Oswald said before, they have reached the southernmost coast of the mainland. This piece of virgin woodland can see a natural beach when you go out. The guardrail looks like the simplest pier, but the outside of the pier is empty, the water level is calm, and there are no boats parked.
And right next to the pier, it is surprisingly "lively".
At first glance, there was almost no end to the crowd of people, and it was impossible to estimate how many people gathered here. The so-called "lively" is only on the surface. In fact, these people are not noisy, and they don't even speak much. It seems that there is an indescribable sense of depression.
Not all of them gathered together, in fact, a group of people were already at the entrance of the pier, and two of them were even on the stone platform.
Many people have seen that stone platform, but few actually went up. Because the boat waiting at the pier is leading to the settlement of the spirit race. The Spirit Race has always been famous for witchcraft, and the way to go to their island is naturally not as simple as imagined. No one is willing to take the initiative to send themselves to that island.
Most of the people on the stone platform were blocked by a part of the crowd, so that neither Kevin nor Oswald could see who it was. But they heard the sound of sea water suddenly turning up at the edge of the pier, as if something had turned up from the water.
There was a faint exclamation from the stunned crowd, and some of the people near the pier started to tremble.
"Look! That's Peter!" Kevin lowered his voice.
Oswald's face immediately turned cold.
Peter was the commander of the Imperial City Patrolling Army. He was in charge of the safety of St. Antis at the beginning. His presence here meant that even the people of St. Antis had been bewitched. from the palace.
"Sinia!" Oswald suddenly called again, "The one on the pier is Ian holding Sinia!"
Chapter 62
Kevin looked over after hearing the reputation, and Sinia seemed to be quite conscious, lying in Ian's arms and still looking around. However, the old butler Ian's body movements seemed very stiff. He seemed to be being led by a string, and he mechanically took two steps towards the edge of the pier. During the whole process, he didn't move except his feet.
The people on the shore were all looking at a certain place on the sea, like a flock of geese stretching their necks, as if they were waiting for something to come.
"The sun is about to set, the time of pilgrimage has come..."
The familiar whisper sounded again, and the source was among the crowd.
"Let's go!" Kevin rolled over on Oswald's back in the blink of an eye, and Sirius spread his wings and rushed straight to the crowd.
However, at the moment they set off, a wall of waves that covered the sky suddenly rose on the seashore, and a huge wooden boat broke through the waves.
It seems to have been sleeping on the bottom of the sea for too many years, the wood has been soaked black, the mast is broken, and the deck is slippery. The entire hull was covered with dark green moss and seaweed, but in that huge
