Chapter 496 (1/2)
”The water from the Sealine floard to cause the lower level water to rise? How is this possible?”
Tilly pondered for a while ”So when the tide falls, will the water flow backwards?”
”Good question” Thunder clenched his fists excitedly ”Afterwards, my fleet stayed near the Sealine for teeks, until the tide fell During that tih the Sealine, and theon the Sealine itself—do you knohat kind of feeling that is? To outsiders, it seemed as if ere stuck to the face of a cliff, with our sails co to the ocean, as if we could fall down at any second But we couldn't feel this on the boat at all, and it was like the Courage was sailing in a narrow river, with the vast wall of seawater on one side, and the expansive sky on the other Of course, we had to wait for the water to slon to do this, otherwise even the Magic Servant couldn't protect the boat”
”This makes no sense” Tilly felt her brain sink into total confusion If so her this, she would have i it all up
”I think so too, but I trust my own eyes more than coan to fall—it happened at exactly the same time as the tides rose and fell in the Shadow Islands The seawater did not regorge and simply backed off slowly, and the Sealine raised froain”
”Do you mean that all this seawater just disappeared into thin air?”
”Maybe, but it ht have also flowed to somewhere else”
”Where could it flow to?” Tilly said, rubbing her forehead ”The tides are drastic in the Shadow Islands, much calmer in the Fjord Islands, basically nonexistent at the shores of the Four Kingdo into thin air, what is it?”
Thunder pointed at the ground
She sighed ”I remember that you once said the sea level in the Shadow area dropped very quickly as if there was a giant hole sucking it in at the botto the hole is, it should still be filled up after a few years”
”I' No one has actually seen what the ocean floor looks like but I'”
”What?”
”Why is the ocean we're in called the Swirling Sea?”
Tilly felt her heart skip a beat as she ca, ”That's iround cave expelled water to create a whirlpool, how could we not notice it? Also, this name has been around for hundreds of years, so who knohat our ancestors were thinking?”
”That's right I conducted a sih for the whirlpool to show, but we don't have the ability to see the ocean floor” Thunder smiled ”Meanwhile, that doesn't ht of this before, but when you told o, I realized that this sea was probably na that ti, ”and not a single witch on Sleeping Island can do it”
