The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

Ocean voyage...treasure...? Perlis was thinking about it, and Aoi spoke quickly again:

"Did he tell you what the treasure was?"

"He didn't mention it, but..."

Furukawa Watari paused for a moment, then said in a serious tone:

"When he emerged from the wreckage of the Dila fleet, I saw that he was holding a black brooch in his hand."

Sure enough... Perlis's heart moved, and the information she had previously obtained from the mine owner was confirmed:

[Black Emblem] or [Ark] is a brooch that gives the holder the power to travel under the ocean currents!

As long as you can get that brooch, you can go to Immortalus...

Perlis and Aoi exchanged glances, and the latter nodded slightly, and continued to ask Furukawa Watari:

"So, do you know if the [King of the Islands] has ever been to that Black Island?"

"Black Island?" Furukawa Wataru chewed on the word for a while, then shook his head, "At least during the shogunate period, he had never been there. The East Ocean is a forbidden place, and His Majesty the Blue Emperor forbids anyone to go to that sea area."

Forbidden to Black Island? This means that Cang Huang probably knows something... Maybe she knows the truth about Inmotarus.

While Perlis was thinking, Furukawa Wataru suddenly turned to her and asked his first question of the day:

"Pure White Flame, you have been defined as a Class 1 fugitive by the Federation, and there is a wanted warrant in all areas outside of Thebite and the Wasteland. Does this mean that you are no longer the Blade of Babel?"

"Yes." Perlis nodded slightly and answered briefly.

If Furukawa Watari wanted to capture her on behalf of Ogi's forces, she wouldn't be sitting peacefully on the boat and enjoying the fish until now.

Obviously, he represents part of Cang Huang's will, which means that Cang Huang may want to talk to Perlis.

"..."

After hearing Perlis's answer, Furukawa Watari took a sip of sake and immediately said:

"His Majesty Cang Huang hopes that you can attend the [Cang Hai Festival] to be held soon."

Sea Festival... Perlis caught a word that she was very familiar with. This is a grand festival held by Dila in spring to worship the sea, which is intended to pray to the sea for a good harvest, peace, and tranquility, and to calm the anger of the sea with sacrifices and feasts.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate to waste resources to hold such a celebration during wartime...For some reason, Perlis recalled the grand birthday party that Venia Irenforno held for him on Wanren Mountain, and a feeling of discomfort arose in her heart.

However, perhaps the Canghuang had other intentions?

After thinking for a while, Perlis nodded slightly and said:

"it is good."

Talking to Cang Huang might not be a good idea, but considering that the archipelago could avoid the federal search and that Cang Huang seemed to know something about the Black Island, Perlis had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Aoi mentioned before that the Blue Emperor was preparing for a decisive battle with the [King of the Islands], so this might be a good opportunity...

There's no choice... Perlis muttered to herself and finished the miso soup in one gulp.

Seeing that Perlis agreed, Furukawa Wataru nodded and said nothing more.

Then, Aoi and the first mate Shibata Kazuki took over the topic of conversation, and the topic gradually turned into a mess of things such as festivals, gossip, and war situations. Perlis and Furukawa Wataru watched their noise very quietly and did not join in the conversation.

From the conversation between Shibata Kazuki and Aoi, Perlis roughly sketched out the portrait of the people in the Dila Sea: free, romantic, open, but always with a hint of Martian atmosphere.

This was not the Dila people that Perlis had in mind - she had always thought that the Dila Empire, which had quickly sided with the Federation after the Academy War, was obviously cowardly, and that most of the people of Dila were like Ichiro Makita, whom Perlis met in the tavern: they bullied the weak and feared the strong, and loved to take shortcuts.

But whether it was Shibata Kazuki or Furukawa Wataru, Perlis vaguely sensed some kind of ancient spirit from them.

I always feel that the Canghuang is not simple. Perlis glanced at Guchuan Du who was drinking under the moon, and quietly finished her dessert.

Finally, when the "artist" Hitaro Mama decided to recite a poem he had just written, Furukawa Wataru stood up and announced the end of the banquet.

Without any delay, Perlis quickly returned to her cabin and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

I have to get up early tomorrow to observe the Black Island...at least measure the direction...Perlis thought so, and her consciousness sank into darkness inch by inch.

When she was about to fall asleep, a pair of ice-blue eyes appeared.

Then, Perlis felt someone hugging her tightly.

She subconsciously tried to break free, but ended up returning the same hug.

......

"Come on, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready..."

Aoi held onto Perlis's hand tightly, causing Perlis to slightly frown her delicate eyebrows.

At this time, they were standing on the deck. The entire sea was still shrouded in darkness. The thin mist mixed with the cold wind made Perlis's neck hurt.

In order to make the destructive factor in the vicinity as concentrated as possible, Perlis did not activate the factor shield, which caused her to lose her little helper to avoid the cold.

I should have gotten some clothes earlier...Perlis looked at her clothes which were not suitable for the weather and sighed silently in her heart.

"Ah, are you cold?" Aoi seemed to notice Perlis's expression, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "How are you now?"

The veins on Aoi's hands were dyed red, and her hands suddenly became very warm, warming up Perlis's cold little hands as well.

At the same time, heat emanated from her body, dispelling the cold wind at four o'clock in the morning on the sea, making Perlis feel very comfortable.

What a convenient hand warmer... no, a heater... Perlis subconsciously moved a little closer to Aoi.

Then, Perlis threw the red stone belonging to the White Falcon onto the deck as an anchor for tearing the space.

A halo suddenly lit up in her eyes, and she immediately saw the other anchor point she had set earlier - the cliff.

Seeing Perlis making these preparatory movements for the shuttle, Aoi once again began repeating herself:

"I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready..."

So noisy...Perlis sighed helplessly, then turned her left wrist slightly and locked the target.

The next second, a red line condensed in front of Perlis. She took a deep breath, then slashed the butterfly knife in her hand -

"bass--"

The crimson cracks opened up, and Perlis and Aoi instantly shuttled through the crimson at high speed, and in an instant they arrived at the cliff overlooking the Black Island.

"Pfft!"

Perlis split the red line and pulled Aoi out of the space crack. As soon as they landed, Aoi fell to the ground, looking like she was in agony.

“Ahh…ah…I’m dying, I’m dying…”

What's this for...? Perlis looked at Aoi who was almost rolling on the ground, and was still thinking whether to comfort her. Aoi suddenly stood up, looking like nothing had happened:

"I don't feel uncomfortable anymore, I don't feel anything..."

What are you doing... Is this funny...? Perlis looked at the grinning Aoi with a look of idiocy. The latter was very excited because she had adapted to Perlis's teleportation.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore! Yeah!"

Perlis did not make any comment on this, but slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the dark horizon.

The sun will rise in about an hour. This time, I must remember the location of the Black Island...

As Perlis thought about this, she stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, not moving.

......

3) Ocean Currents and Tides (Part 10) -Additional Update-

In the early morning, a sundog rose from the sea level behind the mist, removing the black veil above the ocean current.

The gray mist gradually appeared, layer upon layer, wrapping the light of the rising sun, crystal clear.

"..."

Seeing the sun rising, Perlis looked towards the east and began to concentrate on searching for the black island on the horizon.

Not long after, she saw a dark shadow flash in the mist, followed by a vague outline of an island.

"call--"

Without hesitation, Perlis quickly calculated the relative position of the island, and then marked the sea area where Inmotalos appeared on a map of the archipelago obtained from Furukawa Watari.

When she raised her head again, the gray fog on the sea became thicker and soon swallowed up the black island.

After the gray fog dispersed again, no trace of the Black Island remained.

It went smoothly, and I recorded it down... Perlis stared at the map in her hand for a while, and suddenly she smelled a meaty aroma behind her -

"Ok?"

When Perlis turned around, she found Aoi sitting next to a rock, setting up a barbecue grill with two skewers of fish on it.

She spread out one palm and placed it under the grill to transmit high-temperature heat, while with the other hand she kept sprinkling seasoning on the fish, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Is it really okay to use your ability like this? Seeing this, Perlis frowned in dissatisfaction:

"Are you here on vacation..."

"Ah? Oh, life can be more comfortable." Aoi smiled and grabbed a skewer of grilled fish from the grill and handed it to Perlis, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Perlis looked at Aoi's smiling face helplessly for a while, then took the skewer of grilled fish from her hand and ate it while it was still hot.

The white and tender fish meat was roasted to a slightly browned temperature by Kui at just the right temperature. The outer shell was a bit hard, but the inside was juicy and delicious, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

Although Perlis was disgusted that Aoi was distracted by grilling fish while she was doing something important, she had to admit that Aoi's technique was excellent.

This fish is very fragrant.

"..."

Seeing that Perlis was eating happily, Aoi also took a bite of her own string with a smile and said in a vague voice:

"Gu... That black island really only appears for a short while... I just didn't understand what was going on, it's too magical..."

"Well, it only appeared for a short time," Perlis nodded quietly, and then thought of something, "When will the Canghuang deal with the [King of the Islands]? Is it after the Canghai Festival?"

"Well, that's about right," Aoi nodded and took another bite of fish. "At least, my official background in going to Donglin Island is to help her accomplish this matter. Is that a guarantee?"

Cang Huang borrowed a [Blade of Babel] from the Federation, but did not let her participate in the frontal war, but instead transported civilians in the rear... and then helped to eliminate pirates? Perlis thought about it and became more convinced of her previous idea:

Cang Huang was intentionally giving up Qiu Zhiyuan.

But why? What was her motivation?

"Don't think too much, just enjoy the breath of the sea, and then take it one step at a time~"

Aoi was eating grilled fish comfortably, looking like she was enjoying life. The morning sea breeze blew her long chestnut hair, making her look very relaxed.

"When we get to Donglin Island, I'll take you to eat the local specialties. The seafood there is really amazing! I'll treat you then. Anyway, I..."

As Aoi spoke, Perlis's eyes narrowed, and suddenly she saw a shadow quietly flying up from the cliff behind Aoi -

"There is still a lot of money left..."

During the almost stagnant time, Aoi was still smiling, completely unaware of the danger behind her.

Perlis tried to push her away, but it was too late—

"boom--"

A huge silver sword swept across and hit Aoi's head, causing a violent shock wave.

In an instant, Aoi was knocked off the cliff and fell down like a rag doll.

"sunflower!"

Perlis reached out to grab Aoi, but it was too late.

She turned her head angrily, and then her bloodshot eyes narrowed, and she saw a familiar figure:

The entire body was covered with a thin silver armor of great strength, and a huge steel wing spread out behind him, with a blue factor energy halo attached to the end of the wings.

She just floated in the air, overlooking Perlis on the cliff, her golden hair fluttering in the sea breeze, her cold eyes expressionless.

Perlis stared at the mature, pretty face in a daze. She knew this guy, of course she knew him -

——The [Angel] of the Iron Guard, Yelena Goncharova.

......

The Third Legion Front Camp - Akihara

"Battle report complete, General, what's the next step?"

The Iron Guard's [Grizzly] Andrei Ivanov was kneeling on one knee, facing the figure holding a goblet.
