Chapter 1119 The Voice of the Fountain of Youth

When Audrey opened her eyes, she saw a ceiling made of leaves.

This is a characteristic Druid-style building. Everything is natural, and the bed is even more fairy-tale-like, as it is actually a huge petal.

"you're awake."

Blaze lifted the door curtain made of vines. He seemed to have been guarding the door and walked in as soon as he heard the noise.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Audrey's lips curled up, and her chest felt warm, but this warmth would soon turn into restlessness.

"Ahem, how long have I slept?"

"One day, Herbie came to see you on the way." Blazer pointed to Audrey's hair, where there was a trace of Herbie's visit - a strand of hair tied into a braid.

"It's shorter than I expected... I thought I would sleep for many years. Maybe I'll become a modern version of Sleeping Beauty." Audrey supported herself on the petal bed and moved forward to the edge.

She wanted to get out of bed directly, but her shoes were taken off and the damp smell of the soil on the ground made her toes curl up.

Unless you have made up your mind to walk barefoot today, or there is a place to wash your feet, it takes some awareness to walk barefoot like this.

Audrey didn't want to expose her little awkwardness, so she just sat on the petal bed and started talking about business.

"I have seen the knowledge left to me by my ancestors. Give me the compass."

Blaze immediately took out the [Callisto Compass] and placed Audrey's shoes at her feet.

"Did you take it off?" Audrey hooked her shoes with her toes and dangled them, but she refused to put them on.

"Sleeping in bed with shoes on is not something a lady would do, and of course playing with shoes like this is not the way to do it." Blazer knew that this was another time when Audrey's mischievous self came to the fore. He sat down on the dirt floor in front of the petal bed, grabbed her feet to help the lady put on her shoes, and started asking about business.

"Did the ancestor leave any clues?"

"Yes, we have to pass through seven whirlpools and look for a big guy. The ancestor has made many plans." Audrey casually moved the pointer on the Callisto Compass with her slender fingers.

She wished time would go slower, but Blaze was so efficient that he had put on his shoes in no time.

She didn't want to step on the wet soil, but she felt restrained after putting on her shoes. She knew where this subtle sense of contradiction came from.

I want to be a wild beast, but wild beasts are not beautiful.

A sound like a lock opening came from the Callisto Compass, and the pointers began to rotate automatically. Finally, the three pointers pointed to three numbers on the compass.

This is the first whirlpool they are heading to, but only navigation experts can understand these three numbers.

It was quite surprising that Blaze wanted to find a proper navigator. The character of pirates cannot be said to be bad, but it can be said to be completely bad. Dealing with them is like courting death, and Blaze does not like betrayal.

But Audrey thought that they should look for the pirates. The original ocean area of ​​World U was not large, and the only chance for a serious seafaring family was theoretical knowledge. Pirates had special channels to enter the ocean world of World F, and more than half of their lives were spent dealing with the ocean. They might not have much theoretical knowledge, but they certainly had a lot of experience. The whirlpools in the ocean world were not gentlemen who were willing to wait for others. Although the [Callisto Compass] would automatically calculate the time and place of the next appearance of the first of the seven whirlpools, if it was missed, the time and place calculated next time would be unknown.

Blaze couldn't convince Audrey, so he had to agree.

In fact, there is a more reliable and secure method, that is Herbie and her ghost ship. But facing Blaze's question, Herbie was very speechless. She is not a genius and can do everything. She only works hard by sleeping only two hours a day when others are lazy.

Although it has been decided that the pirates will take them along the route of the seven whirlpools, in order to prevent the pirates from cheating them, Blaze still decided to find an expert. The job of understanding the indices on the compass cannot be left to the pirates.

Audrey nodded in agreement, but she didn't know that Blaze actually knew such an expert. Blaze said mysteriously that Audrey also knew this expert.

Audrey had a bad feeling in her heart. She had a premonition, but she still pretended to be calm and asked casually who the expert was.

"Marika, you wouldn't have thought that her childhood dream was actually to become a pirate. Later, she thought that to become a pirate she would have to dig out one of her eyes, so she became a knight. But now she is still studying knowledge about navigation, and has plenty of theoretical knowledge."

Audrey subconsciously tightened her grip on the compass until her fingers turned white, and then she heard the sound of flowing water.

"Huh?" Audrey was startled and subconsciously covered her ears. That was the sound of the fountain of youth flowing in the ancestral knowledge.

She has the profession of [Singer] and is extremely sensitive to sounds. Not to mention that the sound of the Fountain of Youth is very special, like countless beautiful girls singing in unison.

"What's wrong?" Blazer stopped talking and looked at Audrey with concern, who looked unhappy.

"...No, it may be that there is too much knowledge left by our ancestors, and I haven't recovered yet, so I am hallucinating."

"Really? This might be a side effect of eating the fruit of wisdom. Do you want to show it to the Perfect Druid?"

"No, I just need to rest for a while." Audrey handed the [Callisto Compass] to Blaze, "You, you give this to Marika, if possible, let her also..."

Audrey didn't hear clearly what she said afterwards. She only knew that she asked Blaze to invite Marika to go find the Fountain of Youth together. With Marika, who had knowledge of navigation, there would be fewer accidents.

After Blaze took the Callisto Compass and left, Audrey looked down at the tip of her shoe in a daze, feeling irritated.

"What am I thinking about?"

Audrey covered her face with her hands, frowning, but she soon realized that she had messed up her carefully styled hair. She frantically took out a mirror from the warehouse and fixed her hair in front of herself in the mirror.

Then, she paused, and a feeling of frustration made her clench her fists. She had never thought that beauty would be so important to her.

Maybe it's because she found that her appearance is her only advantage.

Audrey didn't notice that the person in the mirror was looking at her, and that it was more than just a reflection in the mirror.

"Whoo~"

Standing in the Crescent Temple, Pais looked at the moon in the sky and let out a sigh of relief.

"You are longing for the Fountain of Youth."
