Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 108 Fulfillment
In the captain's office, Yun Ji placed Yun Lan, who was in her arms, on the large desk that could be used as a single bed.

At the same time, Cheng Lang called out to the magic mirror over and over again.

However, perhaps because all the mirrors on the ship were broken, he did not get any response from the magic mirror this time.

"Let's talk about Saint Barbaya's prophecy first." Cheng Lang chose to give up and asked Yun Ji to sit on the sofa, "Tell me what you understand."

"Compared to the prophecy, I care more about the name of Mr. Magic Mirror."

Yun Ji shuddered involuntarily, "You've heard of the gluttonous tongue. No, you definitely don't know."

"Just tell me briefly," Cheng Lang said.

"The Greedy Tongue is a vicious beast from the ancient land."

Yun Ji sighed, "In that era, the ferocious beasts on land possessed the same combat power as sea monsters. Humans and sirens were nothing more than food they raised."

"Where's your greedy tongue?" Cheng Lang asked.

"Greedy Tongue has no interest in humans"

Yun Ji said, "He prefers to eat ferocious beasts and sea monsters, but he is also an outlier among the ferocious beasts. He is not strong, has no strength, and is not even very big."

"but?"

"But he has a slanderous tongue. He tricked the dwarves into forging weapons that could kill ferocious beasts. He also tricked each tribe into selecting its strongest warriors, tricking the orcs into leading the charge, and even tricked the ferocious beasts into fighting each other."

Yun Ji shuddered again, "Every time a ferocious beast is killed, its greedy tongue will lick the blood to its heart's content.

Later, with the demise of the Ancient Dwarves, the Orcs lost most of their territory on the Star Sea Continent and were forced to retreat to the bitter cold at the edge of the Sea of ​​Despair. Humanity finally helped Greedy Tongue kill all the beasts except him.

At this point, Yun Ji looked at Cheng Lang, "But the greedy tongue is not satisfied. He began to seduce the siren, wanting to use the same method to lick the sea monster."

"But he failed?" Cheng Lang asked.

"yes"

Yun Ji said, "He has a slanderous tongue, but no clever brain. After the ferocious beasts on land disappeared, the sea monster got double the food, and then the sea god appeared."

Glancing at Cheng Lang, who had clearly guessed something, Yun Ji continued, "The hungry glutton was unwilling to give up. Under his instigation, humans on land finally began to challenge the Sea God. After repeated failures, a black-haired girl finally succeeded in killing the Sea God."

"Where's your greedy tongue?" Cheng Lang asked.

"After the Valkyrie killed Poseidon, she also killed Gluttony."

Yun Ji said, "That's what my father saw in the records of the Elven Principality's Royal Library. Greedy Tongue was also killed by the Valkyrie."

"but"

"But he's just a mirror now, isn't he?"

As he spoke, Yunlan, who was lying on the desk, opened her eyes and sat up.

"When did you wake up?" Cheng Lang asked with a smile.

"It all started when Miss Yunji placed me on this chopping board-like table."

As Yun Lan spoke, she reached out and picked up a small piece of dry bread crumbs from the table. The crumbs were only half the size of a little fingernail. "This crumb is really hurting me. Captain, you should clean up the office."

"These are usually handled by the vine goblins," Cheng Lang said with a smile, "I'll have them remind them to pay attention."

"So what just happened?"

Yun Lan asked, "I suddenly lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was lying on the desk. But I waited for a long time and didn't see you two preparing to do anything to me. Instead, I heard the news that the magic mirror was actually a greedy tongue."

“You don’t have to expect that.”

After Yun Ji finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Cheng Lang, and only after the latter nodded slightly did she ask, "So when did you lose consciousness?"

“I’m not here for comfort.”

Yun Lan sat at the edge of her desk, propping herself up with both hands, and said, swinging her legs in the air, "I only remember saying this last sentence."

"It is the prophecy of Saint Barbaya"

Yun Ji was particularly satisfied with the surprise and fear on the other person's face at that moment, and then she accurately repeated everything that had just happened, even the content of the prophecy.

"Despair brings joy at home, despair abroad brings despair"

Yun Lan thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on her pretty face. "It seems that our harvest in the Sea of ​​Despair will be very great, but outside the Sea of ​​Despair, something big may have happened."

"Mist shadows come from mist spirits, and despair comes from ghosts."

Yun Ji then analyzed, "So the events outside the Sea of ​​Despair are related to those ghost ships we encountered back then?"

"Pirates are not interested in plundering, but the lives of the people on the continent are devastated. The starry sea will become a sea of ​​blood, and the heart of the ship will be riddled with holes."

Yun Lan continued, "If this is related to the ghost ship you encountered earlier, these two sentences may have already explained their destructive power. But compared to these, I am more interested in the next sentence."

"The eldest princess dances with thorns, and the youngest princess dances with spears."

Yun Ji smiled and said, "The eldest princess must be referring to you, and the little princess seems to be referring to our little Princess Wuying."

"The next sentence is the most terrifying one."

The silver-haired Yun Lan and the black-haired Yun Ji said in unison, "It looks like Poseidon will be resurrected soon."

Seeing the two beautiful girls looking at him, Cheng Lang spread his hands and said, "Yes, everything he is looking for is on this boat."

"Are you just admitting it so casually?" After a brief moment of surprise, Yun Lan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Yeah, so it's not too late to run now." Cheng Lang said nonchalantly.

"Now that the web of fate has been woven, there's no point in running away."

As Yun Lan spoke, she jumped down from her desk, first straightened her hairband and hood, then adjusted the hem of her princess dress, then took off her lace gloves and formally extended her hand, "Captain, please let us sign the ship's agreement."

"What web of fate and Saint Barbaya's prophecy have you decided to believe in?" Cheng Lang asked, but did not rush to reach out his hand.

"of course not"

Yun Ji and Yun Lan said in unison, "Of course, tear up that pesky spider web."

"That being the case, I'm relieved."

As Cheng Lang spoke, he finally stretched out his hand. However, he did not hold Yun Lan's hand, but just placed it on top.

Seeing this, Yun Ji smiled, took off the scaly leather gloves on her hands, and placed her hand on the back of Cheng Lang's hand.

"It feels really good, my palms aren't even cold."

Cheng Lang, a hereditary bachelor, was delighted as he secretly commented on the soft touch of his palms and backs, but then he was the first to pull his hand away and walk out of the office.

"Our captain is such a gentleman," said Yun Lan as he put his gloves back on.

"You should be thankful that he is a generous captain rather than a gentleman."

Yun Ji said this, also putting on thick gloves, and said as she walked out, "What kind of contract are you going to sign?"

"Of course, it's about offering the biggest stakes in exchange for the biggest reward."

Yun Lan said as a matter of course, "I am Princess Bakla. No matter what I do, the people of Lika will forgive me, and they must forgive me."

"What if they are not citizens of Rican?" "Then grant them Rican citizenship first."

"What a damn aristocratic temperament," Yun Ji teased with a smile.

“Thank you for your compliment”

Yunlan politely lifted her skirt and saluted, then quickly caught up and happily put her arm around Yunji's arm.

In such a short while, Kervik had personally selected a group of the best sailors for Yunlan, led by deck captain White Bread, and together with his brother Belvik, he was ready to sign the ship's heart contract.

This process was actually much simpler because there was no magic mirror. The pirate brothers' ship heart contract had not changed at all compared to the first time.

Yunlan's contract was even simpler. She didn't even need any combat bonuses. She only asked Cheng Lang and his Valkyrie to help her regain the title of Princess Bakara when conditions allowed.

Although the content of the contract was casual, everyone present knew clearly how rich the rewards would be if they helped the princess transform from Yunlan into Bakara.

After the contract was established, Cheng Lang swung the whip onto the open deck of the Thorn. A step later, Yun Ji also grabbed a vine to block it.

As for Yunlan, she actually built a pier woven with thorns between the sea and the two ships, holding up her skirt with both hands, and walked over step by step with Yafuso and the mixed-race sailors headed by White Bread behind her.

The Thorn, this is the name given to the ship by the former princess.

When they actually arrived on the deck of the ship, Cheng Lang and the others who came later couldn't help but take a deep breath. The air on the ship was exceptionally fresh, making people feel as comfortable as if they were in a forest.

Of course, compared to these, what made Yunlan most satisfied was the captain's bedroom, which was no less beautiful than that of the Valkyrie.

In addition, the gun deck of this ship is not equipped with cannons but with crossbows that are automatically strung and powered by sails and vines.

As for the bow and arrows of this crossbow, they naturally came from the thorn spikes that Yun Lan could control to grow at will.

In Yunlan's actual experiments, she was able to control these crossbows to fire five consecutive rounds, but that was all. If she could fire more than that, her body would not be able to bear it.

Although the power of this crossbow is much smaller than that of a cannon, it is quieter. Moreover, these thorn spikes may have unexpected effects whether used to catch fish or nailed to the enemy's ship in rounds.

In addition, this boat has another advantage. Its mast can secrete sweet sap, which is enough to be used as drinking water. Cheng Lang suspects that it may contain rich vitamins.

It was obvious that Saint Barbara might not know what vitamins were, but in order to find the seed, she was determined not to dock or return unless the ship could find the seed.

"I learned from the ship's heart that there are some gifts for the Valkyries in the lower cabin of the Thorn." Yun Lan said after showing everyone around the gun deck.

"Then go and have a look."

As Cheng Lang spoke, he took a step and followed the other party into the lower cabin.

This time, Yun Ji did not follow, and even stopped Shenba and Yafuso who were subconsciously about to follow to watch the fun.

Passing through the empty cargo hold, Yun Lan led Cheng Lang into the lower cabin. Hiding behind him, she raised her hand and pointed at a box not far away and said, "It looks like that box."

"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Lang asked in confusion.

"Afraid of the dark," Yunlan answered as a matter of course.

"Are you afraid of your own ship?"

"What does this have to do with where it is?" Yun Lan said dissatisfiedly, with her hands on her hips. "Knight, go and see what good things are in that broken box."

"As you command, Your Highness Princess."

Cheng Lang, who was in a state of acting, saluted solemnly by touching his chest, turned around and walked to the side of the broken box, and casually opened the lid of the box.

"Waaaaaaaaaa!"

As soon as the lid was opened, a pale green figure wearing a butler's uniform and with wool curls on his head jumped out with a strange cry, beating his chest and screaming like a gorilla.

"ah--!!!"

Less than half a second later, Yun Lan let out a scream, left Cheng Lang who was also frightened, turned around and ran upstairs using her hands and feet.

Before the figure disappeared, Cheng Lang heard cries from above his head, such as "Father, Queen, save me!"

"Can you come out?" Cheng Lang came back to his senses and looked at the magic mirror.

“Me? Ah——!!!”

Unexpectedly, after Cheng Lang finished speaking, the magic mirror let out a strange cry of fear like Yun Lan, and "whoosh" back into the box, even closing the lid, leaving only a gap no wider than a palm, hiding inside and looking outside.

"I am not dreaming?"

The Magic Mirror asked in horror and disbelief, "Respected and honorable Captain, please tell your humble servant, Magic Mirror, did you enter my dream or the world in the mirror?"

"neither"

Cheng Lang said, helping him open the box again, "Now you can leave the world in the mirror."

"Me me? Me?! Can I leave the mirror?!"

The magic mirror let out a series of exclamations, and then tried to float out of the mirror in the box - he was also in the same undead state as the Silver Queen, but he was much smaller, even half a head shorter than Yafusso.

"Yes, you can leave the mirror now."

Cheng Lang smiled and asked casually, "Magic Mirror, do you remember what just happened?"

"just?"

The magic mirror tried again and again to penetrate Cheng Lang's body, recalling, "Just now. Oh!"

"What did you think of?" Cheng Lang asked immediately.

"Santa Barbaya! That's right! Santa Barbaya!"

The magic mirror said excitedly, "That boat was built by Saint Barbaya! I can even smell the scent of the lush sacred tree on her body now. Wait, where is this place?"

"Your memory is also fragmented."

Cheng Lang sighed and recounted everything that had happened before, omitting only the phrase "My name is Greedy Sheep".

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ji also walked into the lower cabin holding a bright large ship lantern. Behind her were Yun Lan, who was still wiping her tears, and Yafuso, who was cowardly.

At the same time, in the Queen's bedroom in the Royal Palace of the Principality of Boerland, the married Princess Bakla had just gotten up as usual.

Princess Bakla habitually waved towards the flowerpot filled with gems at the bedside and yawned again.

However, when she finished yawning, she was stunned, and then looked blankly at the flowerpot on the bow.

This time, this beautiful flowerpot did not grow the gorgeous and noble golden rose, but instead grew a mushroom.

A mushroom that is not big, has no spores, no taste, is not poisonous, and doesn’t even look good!
If Yafuso were here at this time, she would definitely recognize that this was a non-toxic poisonous mushroom that no longer grew on the main mast of the Valkyrie's lower cabin.

If Misty Shadow, who was hiding in the false ventricle of the Valkyrie and sucking on her pacifier, were here at this moment, she might pluck the mushroom and taste it.

But she would definitely spit it out immediately, and even swing her pet snake to hiss, and whip it hard like the captain to express her disgust - this batch of goods is extremely impure.

But at this time, Princess Bakara was the only one in the bedroom.

All she could do was to wave her hands again and again, and small mushrooms would obediently grow in the flowerpot filled with colorful gems.

"She's awake."

After a long time, Princess Bakla stumbled out in a trembling state, muttering to herself in fear, "She's awake! Saint Barbaya's prophecy is coming true! She's awake, she's awake! Someone! Someone come quickly! Tell the king! The prophecy has come true! Poseidon is awakening!"
