The sea was like a blue earth, only more flat
If Maggie had been here, she would be constantly chirping and she could also ask her about how far it still was to the island, nowadays, the only sound she heard were the sea’s waves crashi+ng against the sides of the shi+p Although hearing that for a long time became tedious, for the crew, it was actually a lucky beat, it
Oh, now there is another one, Ashes thought Under the pressure of a foot, the old teak board issued a slight squeak sound, telling her that so
“I did not expect that you actually lived in a place like the Sleeping Island,” a white-haired old , “That place, although it looks great, once the tide comes, most of the land will be flooded by the sea, it’s not suitable for a settleest Island of the Fjords, there are still many uninhabited spaces there
One Eye Jack, the Captain of ‘The Charested, he had a blindfold on his face which completely concealed his left eye He was also one of the few Captains that illing to transport goods for the witches, even though the people in the Fjords didn’t hate witches, unlike the inhabitants on thewith outsiders

The towering island was similar to a small mountain which stood out above the sea level The ht and precipitous, distancing the top of it by at least several feet from the sea level
