Chapter 563 (2/2)

The Magic Servant dove into the water to carry the landing shuttle forward, saving the trouble of paddling.

They traveled in the thick mist for less than 10 minutes, and then Margaret suddenly saw a green figure in the sea.

“Joan!” she could not help but shout loudly.

The singing voice promptly stopped,

They saw a girl floating in the water while revealing only her upper body above the surface. She stared at the people in the boat and seemed at a loss. Her eyes widened in surprise, and her skin was pale white as if she hardly exposed herself to the sunlight. Her hair was like fluffy seaweed, hanging down to cover half of her face, but they could still see some markings like scales on her cheek and neck.

“It’s me, Margaret! Do you remember me?”

“Yih-yih-yeh.” The girl made some intermittent sounds.

“It’s no use. She hasn’t talked to people for too long. She can’t speak now.” Thunder interrupted decisively. “Now, let’s leave this communication problem to you, Lady Camilla.”

Camilla nodded and then put her hand on Margaret’s shoulder.

Instantly, Margaret heard what Joan said in her head.

[Are you… bringing them here to catch me?]

[No, I come here to…]

“Say it in your heart. She can hear you that way and it’s more sincere to communicate with your heart.” Camilla interrupted.

Margaret swallowed to calm down, thinking about what she should say.

[You once saved my life. Joan, do you remember? I come here to ask for your help.]

After a long while, Margaret heard Joan once again.

[I remember you, Margaret. We often played together in the past.]

Amazed by what was happening, Margaret was lost in thought. [This is the ability of the witch. It’s incredible… Luckily, Thunder predicted the language problem before we set off and invited Camilla Dary from the Sleeping Spell to join this travel. She can enable people to communicate with their hearts.]

[Who is Camilla Dary?]

[Oops, I forget all my thoughts can be heard by her now,] Margaret thought and quickly concentrated again. She “explained” in her heart. [Camilla Dary is the lady who is helping us to communicate with our hearts. She’s a witch just like you.]

[The sailors don’t catch witches?]

[Of course, the church has been completely destroyed. Now witches have settled down on the Fjords and the Sleeping Island is a town built by witches. If you want to go there, I’ll show you the way.]

[Oh?] Joan sounded excited and asked further, [What has happened recently? Someone intended to spear me with a harpoon. I thought they must come here for the church’s reward.]

[Nothing like that will happen again. Lord Thunder has solved the problem.]

[Thunder? You mean the most distinguished explorer!]

[Yes, he’s right behind me. You don’t know, but I joined his exploration platoon shortly after I left the fishing village.]

[Really? Tell me more about it.]

…

After a long time, Joan said, “Yeah!” and she dove back into the sea, leaving only ripples on the water surface.

“How’s it going?” Thunder asked.

Margaret turned around and smiled, saying, “She’s accepted our request.”
