Chapter 518: Crossing the Uncrossable Sea (1/2)
Even a heavenly died in the Uncrossable Sea. What more for an ancient king like Tiresh Abhold? Surely she would die with just a swipe of the enemies' fingers.
Tiresh Abhold glared daggers at Jin Rou after hitting her spot. She knew it too very well but did Jin Rou really need to slap it that she would be helpless without him during the crossing?
”I'm still coming, nevertheless.” Tiresh Abhold said firmly. It was an ironic statement after all the talking about how dangerous the sea was and whatnot.
”Since it is a favor, I will naturally grant it. However, don't expect me to save you when you get into crisis. I don't want an extra baggage who cannot listen to my orders.” Jin Rou said. He didn't want additional trouble and loose ends during the expedition, so he warned her.
”I am a trained knight, so I won't be.” Tiresh Abhold harrumphed, clearly still dissatisfied with Jin Rou.
”Thank you for granting this old man's wish, young man.” Drak said with sincerity. He knew that he couldn't stop Tiresh, so he wanted someone to accompany her there. Although Jin Rou said that he wouldn't protect Tiresh, he could feel it that if time really came to that, he would save her.
”It's nothing much. You don't have to thank me.” Jin Rou shook his head.
The old man and Jin Rou talked for several hours about the dao until the midnight comes, when Jin Rou was about to depart.
---
Jin Rou and Tiresh were already by the shore with Drak by the back. The waves were strong enough to destroy houses but the kingdom's walls were sturdy enough to withstand it, so the people inside were safe.
Each wave make the earth tremble as if a tsunami was coming their way.
”Whoosh!” And soon, the big sea that seemed to be inseparable was split into two slowly but surely.
”The Uncrossable Sea is splitting, you can cross it now.” Drak said as he saw the big sea being halved, ”Please take care Lady Tiresh. Please come back alive.”
For Drak, in all honesty, the revenge agenda of Tiresh Abhold was petty. After all, it was obvious that her brother would die there after being warned for so many times. It was a natural course of action. After all, it was her brother's choice, so there was no one to blame. However, Drak couldn't say this to her upfront and destroy her will. It was her choice, to begin with. No one urged her to do this.
”Of course, I will come back alive.” Tiresh Abhold smiled a little. Even she didn't know if she could return alive. But, she couldn't say it.
Since it was already midnight, there was no one to watch them depart. However, there were a few eyes that were watching them.
