Chapter 352 A Great Maritime Adventure!
Instead of immediately considering these issues like Leader Qin and Yingmei, Paimon started making sarcastic remarks, livening up the atmosphere.
"These street performers are really something, letting us ride dragons here! The wind's so strong, I'm about to be blown away..."
Barbara clutched her chest, stammering, "This is my first time riding on a dragon's back... my heart is still pounding..."
After everyone relaxed a bit, Qin checked on the situation.
"Is everyone alright?"
Upon hearing this, Barbara nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine. Sister... Commander Qin, just who is that poet?"
"Yes...uh..."
Looking at her innocent and adorable younger sister, Qin turned her head away, looked elsewhere, and began to lie.
"He was a legendary poet with superb musical skills who could attract all kinds of creatures with his music."
Seeing the expression on Jean's face when she lied, Paimon's little mouth formed a small circle.
After all, he is the boss, and this is an essential skill for managing subordinates.
Sure enough, lying in someone like her has a certain endearing contrast, especially since she's lying to her own sister.
The naive Barbara, of course, believed this lie.
How could her own sister, the vice-commander of the Knights, possibly lie to a child like her!
"Such a capable person, we must thank him properly when we get back."
After Barbara finished speaking, the band leader changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, this island... has a very harsh climate, with thick fog and extremely low visibility, just like the rumors Lisa mentioned."
Seeing that the topic had turned to the issue of deciphering, Huiyuan, who seemed to have a script, took the initiative to explain:
"Everyone, do you remember the letter that the Great Demon King Dudu sent to Klee? It contained these words: 'Light four lamps, knock on the door of the trial-taker.'"
Paimon nodded in agreement upon hearing this:
"Oh, yes, that's true. Yuanbao, do you have any deductions?"
"The key to the puzzle lies in these 'four lamps.' Have you noticed? The fog is much thinner in our area compared to other places."
Following Huiyuan's question, everyone began to observe carefully.
At this moment, the observant Qin leader had already noticed the highlights around them.
She looked at the teleportation anchor point to the side and asked, "Could it be related to this device?"
Paimon and Ying pondered this for a moment.
At this moment, Huiyuan explained:
"Yingmei, you know how to use these teleportation anchors, right? If you just ask around, you can find the recipe for a 'pocket anchor.' This kind of thing is only very convenient for those who possess the Eye of God, so it's not very well-known. Making a 'pocket anchor' requires luminous marrow, a material that can dispel darkness, the same material used in this device."
Scientists around the world have long studied teleportation anchors. After all, they are countless and everywhere, so how could they not attract attention?
It's just that it's always been there, and people have gotten used to it.
"Pocket Anchors" are created by scientists by mimicking teleportation anchors. They can connect to the earth's veins to a certain extent, enabling teleportation.
Because its operating principle is not fully understood, it has some unknown side effects compared to ordinary anchors... for example, it only exists for 7 days.
What terrible things might happen if the transmission were to occur just as it expires after 7 days is anyone's guess.
Creating pocket anchors requires glowing marrow, and the teleportation anchors here also have the function of glowing marrow.
In other words, the teleportation anchor points in the Golden Apple Islands are very likely artificially created "pocket anchor points".
As for the person who created these anchor points and placed them here... it's highly likely that it was Ms. Alice.
After Huiyuan explained the materials used for the pocket anchors, Barbara suddenly realized, "The anchors are like 'beacons.' One is already lit, and there are three left... What will happen if all four beacons are lit?"
Upon hearing this, Paimon began to speculate.
"Perhaps... the fog here will disappear?"
Just then, Klee was suddenly attracted by something and ran away from the group.
Seeing this, Marta reacted quickly and followed, saying:
"Klee, don't run around—"
Upon reaching the slope, Klee pointed downwards.
There seems to be something down there!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and indeed discovered something conspicuous.
This is a ship. Although it is not large, its interior seems to be a hidden world, capable of carrying many people.
After observing for a while, Qin came to a chilling conclusion.
"It looks like someone is waiting for us."
They predicted the island we would land on and placed it in a spot where Klee would be able to find us after people solved the riddle of the beacon.
This "Dudu the Demon King" is too cunning!
Paimon hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are we really going to sail in such terrible weather?"
Qin looked to Huiyuan for advice, and after Huiyuan shook her head, she gave an affirmative answer.
"I'm afraid that's what they mean. Everyone, everything on the island is still unknown. No matter what challenges we face, please act cautiously and pay attention to safety."
Upon hearing this, Matal leaped onto the surf boat.
She turned to look at Courteney on the shore, a sly smile on her face, and said:
"I remember you seem to be afraid of water... So, do you need my help?"
Upon hearing this, Courtney put on a sour face and shook her head firmly.
"No, absolutely not! I'd rather die than ask you for help!"
"Heh~ Then jump over here yourself."
As Klee, Jean, Luminous, and Enchantress boarded the ship one after another, Courtney's eyes gradually welled up with tears.
It was only a short distance away, so no one considered it a problem.
But for Courtney, that one step felt like an ocean! Is it wrong for a kitten to be afraid of water?
Seeing this, Barbara thoughtfully extended her hand and said:
"Do you need help?"
Courtney shook her head again, seemingly determined to prove to Marta that she could do it.
Barbara had no choice but to board the boat herself.
Swallowing hard, Courteney probed the water's surface with the tip of her tail.
Feeling the icy temperature, her heart began to panic completely.
Seeing this, Martha chuckled and mocked, "Heh heh... I'd heard you obtained the Eye of God, but you're still just a weakling, aren't you? A piece of trash, trash!"
Upon hearing this, Courteney gritted her teeth and stared helplessly at the devil who was feeding her green peppers.
Just then, the blue shield on her back emitted light, and a ghostly figure appeared beside her.
It was her older brother, [Lia], who lived as a ghost, who had woken up.
After being patted on the head, she glanced at Sister Huiyuan on the boat, mustered her courage, and jumped.
Suddenly, one foot slipped, the balance was broken, and the body fell into the water.
At the critical moment, Marta grabbed her arm.
In this way, Courtney arched her body into an inverted arch bridge-like position, thus escaping the tragedy of becoming a drowned rat.
