Chapter 49 Guntar II(4)
The captain nodded with satisfaction, "You are the person personally designated by Lord Sfranchi. I feel relieved to be able to say that. If you have any questions along the way, you can come to me directly.
You and your attendants will sleep together with the other guards in the back of the cabin, near the stairs." After that, Miharis continued to direct the crew to load the cargo.
Guntar pressed the long sword "Eye" given to him by Uncle Beldan on his waist, went down the stairs and entered the cabin.
There were about twenty people in the cabin, cargo was placed in the front and rear, and the rest was where the sailors and guards rested.
On the left side of the stairs, there are two people dressed as mercenaries sitting on the board of the ship. They should be the guards of the ship like Guntar.
"Nowen, you've been talking to me all day long, and I don't understand." A young man said to another slightly older man.
The young man is handsome, with sharp eyes and light brown hair that is casually messy.
"Calvi, take a closer look." The older man named Noven held a worn-out parchment in his hand. Strange symbols were drawn on the parchment. "These two eye-like runes, like
It’s not like Abyss Island and Dead Silence Island?”
Noven's black eyes were full of excitement. His hair was neat and braided, and was already a little white. His eyes were deep-set, his nose was flat, and he had a slender mustache.
"You are really obsessed," Calvi shook his head, "Isn't this just a bunch of scrawled symbols? Now go find a drunkard on the pier, and he can draw something similar for you."
Noven was a little disappointed and did not speak again, silently looking at the contents on the parchment in his hand.
"Can I have a look?" Guntar put his "eyes" on the ground and sat cross-legged across from the two of them.
"Ah, of course!" After being stunned for a while, Noven smiled and carefully handed the parchment to Guntar.
Guntar took the parchment and read the contents on it carefully.
Rather than a letter, it looked more like a painting composed of a series of symbols. Guntar could not understand the meaning of any of the runes. They were interlaced irregularly, one connected to the other, and covering the other.
superior.
"Did you see anything? Young swordsman?" Noven asked eagerly, "Look here, two eyes!"
Following Noven's fingers, Guntar saw two similar runes, and indeed, as he said, they looked like a pair of eyes.
"It does look like a pair of eyes." Guntar nodded.
"It's not just a pair of eyes, it's the Island of the Abyss and the Island of Dead Silence! What are the people who drew these profound secrets telling us!" Nuo Wenshen said.
"Didn't you draw this?" Guntar asked.
"No, I bought it from a Demis person." Noven replied.
"Demis?"
"The Demis people like to use nonsense to defraud you of your money. Men use their mouths, and women use something else. A full fifty silver coins! That's almost three Vigrich gold coins. He has been three months.
You can’t even make that much," Calvi added.
"You said this painting depicts the Island of the Abyss and the Island of Death. Do you have any basis for this?" Guntar asked.
"Legend has it that these two islands were formed from the eyes of the giant Ybor. At that time, these two islands were still called the Island of Light and the Island of Storms," Noven said.
"The Giant of the Sea?" Guntar had never heard of Ybor, the Giant of the Sea, whom Noven was talking about.
"It's just a ridiculous story that the Demis people believe," Calvi waved his hand, "They are the most untrustworthy people. Don't get close to any Demis people you meet on the coast of Xuanxin, otherwise they will buy it like Novin.
It’s their account.”
Novin ignored Calvi and continued: "The Demis believe that the world was created by a giant named Tegan.
With his hammer of creation, which the Demis called Nothir'dhrath, he created the earth, the sea, the mountains, and created other giants, and then humans and animals.
But later, there was a conflict between the giants. They fought and killed each other. In the end, the creators died.
Ybor, the giant of the sea, was one of them. His body dived into the sea, but because he was so big, the seawater could not cover his eyes, and over time it turned into two islands."
"This is the first time I have heard this story." Guntar said.
"We are the people of the stars, not just hammered out by giants," Farrow said.
"There are many stories circulating at sea, but few of them are credible," Calvi said.
"Whether it's Tegan or Ybor, I don't understand it." Guntar said to Novin, "I'm sorry, I can't see if there is a deeper meaning in it."
"These things will drive you crazy," Calvi warned Novin. "You'd better get rid of it before you become one of those crazy people."
Guntar returned the parchment to Novin, who looked a little disappointed.
"Are you the guards of this ship?" Guntar asked the two of them.
"Yes," Calvi affirmed, "my name is Calvi Camber, and he is Norvin Zolland."
"Gontar Kavalek, and my squire, Faro Grod."
"A knight?" Calvi Campbell asked curiously, reaching out to touch Farrow's head next to Guntar, but the latter avoided him warily.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" asked Calvi Kemper.
Guntar touched his eyepatch, but it still hurt a little.
Gozoron Clotar's sword not only left a permanent scar on his face, but also took away his eyes.
"I lost it in a duel." Guntar replied slowly.
"Who is the duel with? Look at your sword, are you still the Amber Knight?" Calvi asked while reaching for Guntar's sword.
"I don't want to talk about this now." Guntar moved the sword behind him and said unhappily.
"How many times have you set sail?" Seeing this, Novan Zolland changed the topic for them.
"first."
"Two newcomers!" Calvi said, "I hope you don't vomit too much at sea. We guards all sleep together."
"You look younger than me. How many times have you sailed?" Guntar asked.
A proud smile appeared on Calvi's face, "So many that I can't even count them! I was born on the sea and lived on the sea until now."
"The sea also contributed to his current character," Noven chuckled, "an impolite brat!"
"My courtesy is reserved only for my beautiful ladies." Calvi gave an exaggerated and elegant salute.
"Where are you all from?" Guntar asked.
"I'm from Brownwood City." Norwin replied.
"It is a beautiful place with Fishbone Cliff, Sanlin and Xieyan River." Brownwood City is a place with scenery no less than that of Heifeng Castle.
To the west is the Black Forest, to the north is the Narrow Forest, to the east is the Sawtooth Forest, and to the south is the Fishbone Cliff across the Xianyan River. This city is rich in timber and is the center of the Nanlin Province.
"My mother gave birth to me on the dock of Skytide City. I think I should be from Skytide City." Calvi said thoughtfully, "But my hometown will always be the sea. What about you? The Amber Knight and his
Attendant?"
"Black Peak Castle." Guntar said.
"I don't think I need to ask at all. Every Amber Knight comes from Black Peak Castle." Calvi said easily.
Novin pretended to be mysterious and said: "Amber Knight, be careful at sea. The sea is cruel, and sometimes it can make people fall into madness and lose their souls.
There are countless people whose souls have been swallowed by the sea. Their bodies are only empty shells, and they speak words that no one can understand..."
"You've talked enough nonsense today." Calvi told Novin to shut up.
