Chapter 819 818. Price

  Axiang swallowed, knowing that if he rashly asked about the scene he just saw, he might be silenced by Shia.

   But Ah Xiang was still curious, so he asked.

   "Your body, is there any problem?"

   He regretted it when he asked, because it was certainly not without problems, it was like asking a dying person how long you can live, how stupid and stupid.

   "Sorry, I meant"

  Axiang wanted to explain, but Shia pursed her lips and smiled, and she took off her gauntlet.

  Under the silver-white armor, it was not the girl's slender and fair hands, but a mass of flesh that was about to rot.

The fleshy ball trembled slightly with the heartbeat. Among them, soft tentacles were climbing on it. Shia opened her five fingers, and her bones were twisted in a strange way. Compared with human limbs, it was more like a human body. It's the body of some kind of monster.

   Inside that arm, there seems to be some kind of pure flame burning, making the skin transparent and the entire palm showing brilliant colors.

The trace of    spread all the way to the upper arm, and finally disappeared in the armor.

  Axiang didn't know how many parts of Shia's body were the same as ordinary people, but the current situation was obviously not "normal".

   Just seeing that appearance made Ah Xiang feel numb in his scalp, and some hallucinations appeared in his field of vision, which made him feel dizzy that he hadn't seen in years.

   Seeing this, Shia put on her gauntlet and patted A Xiang on the shoulder again.

   "Sober up."

   she said, making A Xiang calm down a little.

   "This is a wound?"

  A Xiang hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

   "This is the price."

   Shia replied.

   "In this world, the more you know, the more unfortunate you are."

   "The more you know, the more unfortunate you are?"

  A Xiang helped his glasses, looking extremely confused.

"The more things you have witnessed, the more your reason will be challenged. In many cases, you will lose your humanity. Don't pursue knowledge that exceeds your limit, otherwise you will only usher in something more terrible than death. end."

   Shia looked at the calm sea and said.

   "It's a good thing you're curious, but being too curious can also lead to danger."

   Maybe it's because Axiang's appearance is too similar to a certain mage Shia once knew, so she couldn't help but say a few more words.

   "But this is the risk that comes with acquiring knowledge."

  A Xiang was a little reluctant, he tried to argue.

   "If there were no navigators who ventured deep into the sea to cross the sea in the storm, we may not know the new continent on the other side of the ocean until now, and we could not find a safe way to bypass the windless belt and thunderstorm, and the world would not develop."

"Miss Shia, I know very well that if I want to gain knowledge, I will inevitably put myself in danger, but if I can benefit future generations and pass on this precious knowledge, then I think that even sacrificing my Lives are worth it."

   Hearing A Xiang's words, Shia sighed.

   "You don't know the essence of this world. Even if you can control everything for a short time, you will eventually end up in the same way and enter into destruction."

   is like a long night, even if there are bright fireworks in the middle, it will eventually return to silence, waiting for the dawn that does not know when it will come.

  A Xiang did not refute Shia, because he knew that he certainly did not know more about the world than this young lady.

   In many things, without investigation, there is no right to speak.

A child who was born on an island since he was a child, for him, the world is a sea. He has never seen the vastness of land, mountains, grasslands, and lakes. He will form his own independent world view, although That could be a far cry from the real world.

   On the sea level in front of the bow, the golden color became more and more brilliant, and a ray of morning light lit up the entire sea area. The calm, mirror-like sea reflected the brilliance of the rising sun, like a magnificent ensemble.

   "Take more rest, the rest of the journey may be hard."

Shia patted A Xiang, and for some unknown reason, A Xiang suddenly felt sleepy. He returned to his cabin in a daze, lay down and closed his eyes. When he woke up again, the sky outside the window had already entered. twilight.

   "How long have I slept?"

   Without dreaming and without any interference, Ah Xiang woke up and felt that his mental state was better than ever.

   He asked the sailors who came and went, and one of them answered him.

   "It's almost time for dinner, Brother Xiang."

   Hearing this answer, Ah Xiang felt very hungry.

When    came to the deck, he saw Shia and Lu Bian drinking soup made from salted fish with bowls.

  Thinking of what he saw in the morning, he wanted to ask Shia how she was doing, but he felt that it was unnecessary.

   "Come and drink soup, fresh fish soup, this is a beautiful thing to drink fish soup."

  Lu Bian saw Ah Xiang and immediately called him over for a drink.

Ah Xiang picked up the bowl. This fish soup was no different from what he had seen before. Although he was a little appetite recalling the pictures he saw in the morning, when the soup fell into his stomach, he felt that it was the most delicious food he had ever had. bowl.

  Three times, five and two, Ah Xiang finished the fish soup.

   At this time, the sun is just sinking into the sea, and the last ray of afterglow is fleeting, making it impossible to capture the brilliance of that moment.

  The sea fell into night again.

  This is like a weekend on a rest day, playing games all night until the early morning, looking at the rising sun and feeling that I must relax this weekend, only to wake up and find that it is already dark.

   There is a sense of time being stolen.

   "We will reach that island soon."

   Standing behind the rudder, Nagamasa looked at the treasure map in his hand and said.

   The night sky lit up with stars, which was a different arrangement from the original starry sky. Nagzheng relied on the positions of those stars to find his way. Soon, he saw that on the other side of the sea, there was an island emerging.

  The island is very large, roughly the size of a city. There are low mountains on it, covered with vegetation, but there is no trace of any living beings. From a distance, it looks like a lonely mountain, standing on the sea.

  According to the previous statement, the monster that only existed in the 42nd second should notice the person who landed on the island.

   "Sia and I will go check the situation first, and if there is no problem, we will inform you."

   Lu Kizuna said.

Although it was his ideal and pursuit for Changzheng to personally explore the island and unearth the buried treasure, but after witnessing the strange situation on the passenger ship, Changzheng also knew that if he rushes to the island, he will only give away people's heads and stay alive. is the kingly way.

  He stayed on the boat honestly.

  Since the island has no port, when the boat reached the waters near the island, Lu Kizuna, Shia, and Leopard and Leopard rowed towards the island in a small boat.

   Soon, the boat ran aground on the beach, and Lu Bian stepped on the icy water and set foot on this island.

   In an instant, Lu Khan felt the solidified air around him begin to flow.
