Chapter 232 Shadow Islands
“The Fjord possess countless islands Until now, no one had ever passed the beyond the border of all these islands,” a orous appearance told them, “The further east you sail, the more unpredictable the climate will become, and the saree of strangeness they eventually reach”
“Even you have never reached the end of the islands?” Tilly asked curiously “They say you are theexplorer of the Fjord, apart fro Fla eastwards”
“Ha ha ha,” the h heartily “Your praise is too much In fact, every year there are brave people of the Fjord who sail eastwards in search for new land, but it’s hard for the hurricanes and the suddenly appearing fog, it eventually becole step further
He is Thunder, Ashes remembered, the first explorer to discover the Shadow Islands But two years ago, within the perils of the sea his whereabouts suddenly became unknown, and by now ht that he would be on Sleeping Island, and even less that the 5th Princess would coree Island, draw a sea map and search for new ruins, while Tilly would send witches to support his explorations As for the reason for his disappearance during the last two years, she had never heard hi it, and Tilly had also never spoken about it But she had the feeling that Her Majesty knew the inside story Otherwise, they would never have reached such a htly unhappy within her heart
“Just like yesterday’s hurricane?”
“That’s right They appear within the blink an eye and disappear just as quickly,” Thunder shook his pipe, and threw the ashes into the sea then refilled it with so his pipe once ical ability of your witch”
“Her name is Molly,” Ashes remind him stiffly
“Ah, that’s right, look at my memory,” Thunder didn’t seean to laugh, “If it hadn’t been for Molly, I am afraid the shi+p would have been overturned, her ability is siht, that perhaps the witches were most suitable to be explorers
“Isn’t that already the case,” Tilly smiled, “… a witch who had already inherited the na Explorer?”
“Well…” Thunder took a deep breath through the pipe, and afterward send out a long string of smoke, “I wish for it to be so”
There it was again; Ashes frowned, they onceI cannot understand She bluntly left the bow, instead going to the stern trying to calent to explore the ruins, after cleaning the Fjord of the Church, she had io out to sea And to her surprise, Her Majesty unexpectedly also said that she wanted to go in person, regardless of how Ashes tried to discourage her, it was all useless

“What is this?”
“Swordfish, they like to follow and travel together with the shi+ps, but sometimes they will attack the hull with their mouth, and break it apart,” a sailor replied, “But they are also very delicious to eat, especially the belly meat, after you put it in your ue” He s everyone can enjoy the freshly cooked swordfish for themselves”
“It seeot another fish,” Molly shouted
