At the junction of Narcissus Channel and Akiyama Channel, ocean currents and cold currents merge, forming rich fish resources and many small islands.
Some of these islands are just rocks, which will be submerged when the sea water rises, while others are lush and green, with seeds brought by birds and taking root and sprouting, forming small green islands.
There are also some larger islands that have become secret places for pirates to hide themselves. They have built docks and berthed ships. They use them as strongholds to plunder wantonly along this waterway.
It is said that some pirates have even signed an agreement with Wajima, and as official privateers exist, they can plunder more fearlessly.
Despite this, Lu Jiao still found no trace of the island.
He even wondered if he was going the wrong way.
"It should be fine..."
Looking at the stars in the sky, Lu Tiao murmured to himself.
Sitting in front of the ship, Lu Jian tried hard to find traces of the island. According to the direction of the stars, he should be moving in the direction they were heading. Unless the stars in this world are different every night, he would not admit his mistake.
.
Hearing the movement behind him, Lu Tiao looked back.
Amber is taking off her white socks.
Originally, these cotton socks were supposed to be warm and breathable, but now they only stick to the skin after being soaked by seawater, making the feet even colder.
Lu Tan carefully observed Amber's feet.
"Can the pollution you have received be reversed?"
Lu Tan looked at the feet as white as jade and thought of the hideous and terrifying pollution that appeared at the end of his body when Amber used the word spirit. Now it seems that the pollution has subsided.
Amber raised her head and looked at Lu Tan.
"This is why a miko is a miko."
She put her hands on her toes, trying to wipe away the water stains.
"After accepting the training at Wajima Shrine, the shrine maiden has the power to control the word spirit. Through the word spirit, the shrine maiden can communicate with other people, other creatures, including the world, and use this as an oath to bind and gain strength."
The cold sea breeze blew on Amber's body, and her soaked clothes revealed the skin underneath, which was bloodless, like a corpse.
There are still some traces of pollution that have not faded away. They are on the upper arms, chest, abdomen, and thighs. Anyone who looks at them will just feel pitiful.
"Normal people, like you, rely on the witness of the witch when they make an oath. Once they violate it, they will be reviled by the world. If you want to use the word spirit, you must bear the pollution."
"This world is sick, very sick. If you want to communicate with it, you will inevitably receive its pain and sadness. Those indescribable ravings are poured into the mind of the witch along with knowledge, making the witch become the person you have seen before.
It looks like it arrived.”
"As for the miko, you can reduce the pollution through magic. As long as you are not too seriously polluted or injured, if you continue to use the word spirit when you are seriously injured, you may lose your sanity as a human and collapse into a monster. You will not
I want to see that scene.”
She crossed her arms and bit her lower lip, which seemed quite cold.
Lu Tiao moved himself and fanned Hu Hua.
"Did you know that when water evaporates, it takes away heat, and there are three ways to accelerate evaporation: accelerated air flow, high temperature, and..."
Hearing Lu Tiao's words, Amber was stunned for a moment.
"Maybe there is another way. If you are really cold, you can take off your clothes and hug me. This is what the novel says."
Lu Jian thought he had shown a fearless spirit.
"???"
Amber felt unreasonable.
"If you want to taint me, I will bite off my tongue and commit suicide immediately."
She said righteously.
Women like witches who devote themselves to the gods don't know why they always arouse the covetousness of some men. Of course, most men have no way to get in touch with witches, and those powerful people have tried to use their power to coerce those women in the past.
The woman who failed to become the officiating shrine maiden.
And their fate was miserable.
Kohaku cannot use the Word Spirit now. Her body is extremely weak. There is no guarantee that there will be any serious consequences after being contaminated, so she can only force her to die.
"I'm not interested in junior high school students."
Lu Tan complained, and then remembered that she might not understand what the junior high school student meant, so he added.
"Are you a little too confident in your appearance and figure?"
"you!"
Amber didn't know where this person got the energy to joke. She blushed slightly, but soon turned pale again due to the cold.
If this continues, she may freeze to death before daylight.
"Can't you make fireballs or make food out of them?"
Lu Tan asked after seeing this.
"There's nothing that can be done about the food, but there's no problem with the fire, it's just..."
Amber looked at her hands, and there were still some traces of contamination on her slightly trembling hands. She was not sure if she would suffer backlash if she used the word spirit, and now she obviously did not have the materials to use the technique.
"All right."
Lu Tian also saw that this miko was weak in ambition but weak in strength.
He opened the [Silent Department Store].
At this time, there is no need to save points.
If he looked the next morning and found that Amber had frozen to death, then Lu Tan would have lost blood.
After rummaging for a while, Lu Jian saw a product that was suitable for his current use.
【The fire of hope】
【ordinary】
[In the abandoned capital, there are many folklores]
[The most famous one is a little match girl. Legend has it that she lit the match and saw a wonderful life, but was found freezing to death on the street the next day]
[This box of matches can bring everything you want, wealth, love, power, as long as you light the next one in time before the flame burns out]
["It's so warm, grandma, it's so warm..."]
[Price: 130 Silence Points]
Although super cheap matches may have various side effects, Lu Tian feels that at this time, there is no need to worry so much.
Moreover, the pollution carried by [ordinary] grade products should be nothing to Lu Jian, so he immediately spent points to redeem this item.
This is a box of matches. There are countless matches in it. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary match, with nothing special about it.
After setting up a few pieces of wood from an unknown ship that Laika had picked up in the wreckage area, Lu Tiao took out matches.
Amber took a deep look at the match that Lu Tan had taken out from somewhere. He was more suspicious and wary than confused.
Lu Jian lit a match, and the warm firelight lit up on the sea, illuminating the profiles of the two people.
The flame began to heat the still damp wood, emitting a burning smell mixed with moisture that made people cover their noses.
At this moment, Lu Jian saw that something seemed to be emerging in the fire.
