Chapter 549 Sea Abyss
When she was a child, Master Jode told Cathy something.
The Lines family is a secluded family; their spirits, since ancient times, do not go to heaven or hell, but remain on the plateau.
Gaoyuan was originally a place devoid of oxygen, and it was those spirits of the dead that brought life to that barren land.
"Your ancestors will protect you." Master Jode had mentioned this to Casey countless times.
When she was a child, Cathy hated hearing this sentence.
It was as if it was telling him that he had no worthwhile abilities and could only rely on the blessings of his ancestors.
But now Kathy is much stronger, and he is able to accept it calmly.
Perhaps Master Jode was just encouraging him; he must have inherited some talent from his ancestors.
At least that's what Casey believes for now.
But his body contains more than just the blood of the plateau.
An ocean surges within him.
Otherwise, how can one explain how he found this legendary sea area based solely on a blurry nautical chart?
Kathy smiled as she looked at the spectacular view ahead.
The sea was ahead, then suddenly cut off.
The azure sea plunges down the cliff like a waterfall.
Where will the seawater flow?
Kathy doesn't know.
But the pirates around him all knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, shouting "Sea God."
They were convinced that at the end of the abyss lay the underwater palace, the final resting place of the dead, which they had dreamed of!
"The underwater palace exists"—for these people who make a living at sea, this statement is undoubtedly the sweetest wine.
But Keshi knew that there was no underwater palace.
That cross-section and abyss are merely a part of Fallen Feather Island.
Kathy looked out and saw that the seawater in front of her was curved.
He concluded that the arc must form a perfect circle where his eyes could not see.
At the center of the circle lies his destination: Fallen Feather Island.
Look!
In the abyss, narrow waterways rise like fountains, extending towards the center of the abyss.
That must be the route to Luoyu Island.
"You're insane!" Valentine roared.
"It's just that your imagination is lacking," Cathy retorted calmly.
"You're insane!" Valentine spread his hands. "That's impossible! Look, that waterway is so narrow, we can't get through unless we can fly."
"Perhaps that's why it was named Featherfall Island," Casey replied with a smile. "An island where only birds can land. But it has countless waterways, prepared for ships. Just as a gentle breeze can lift a feather, the seawater will also lift this ship."
"That can't even be called seawater; it's narrower than a river! And this ship isn't a feather; if it falls, we'll be smashed to pieces!"
But Cathy wasn't afraid.
He had already experienced being shattered to pieces.
Could I lose any more? Kathy asked herself.
Ah—except for Harriet.
But she's right here beside me now.
“Then don’t let the ship sink,” Casey said. “Move forward, that’s an order. You said I was only responsible for setting the destination, and you decided how to get there. Now you only have one path ahead of you, so don’t hesitate here!”
Valentine remained silent for a long time, but finally, he spat at Cathy's feet: "You'll get us all killed!"
But you are pirates—Kathy thought—you deserve to die!
What about Henry's death? Kathy shook her head. I was still selfish after all.
But as Count Reggie said, one who is only selfless cannot be a good leader.
Mr. Mosley never said that selfishness is bad.
Valentine left and directed the ships up the narrow waterway.
Kathy understood that once he reached the end of the waterway, he could land on Feather Island.
Although I don't know what's on that island, I must not let the Zorc family find him!
Moreover, Kashi had a premonition that this could very well be the first clarion call for him to reclaim the plateau!
Soon, the boat entered the waterway.
Looking at the endless, dark, and deep abyss on both sides, Casey could immediately understand what kind of risks this ship was taking.
Ha! Even a feather that falls into it will be doomed!
Henry—please bless me.
Kathy left the deck and went into the captain's cabin.
At this moment, Harriet is still studying her books.
She looked up at Cathy: "Have you reached an agreement with them?"
"Yes," Casey nodded, "I convinced them."
Harley nodded: "But, are you sure?"
"I wanted to ask you for a kiss, I didn't want to have any regrets," Cathy said, "but now I don't want to do that, I don't want to alarm you."
"So, you're not sure either?" Harriet asked.
Cassie nodded: "Hmm—Harriet, actually I'm scared too. If you go and see those abysses, you'll know that hell is nothing special."
"I've seen it, Casey," Harriet said gently. "I know you're strong."
Cathy gazed at Harriet, and after a moment of silence, said, "Thank you."
Harriet closed the book, walked up to Cathy, and lifted Cathy's chin: "So, do you still want my kiss now?"
Kathy nodded and swallowed.
Harriet smiled merrily: "But I won't give it to you. However, if this ship successfully reaches Featherfall Island, I will reconsider—consider it a reward for you."
After saying that, she gently pushed Cathy away with her finger and left the room.
Kathy stood there, stunned.
Damn it, I've fallen for a bad woman!
"Haha! Young Master! We've arrived! You were right, Featherfall Island is at the end of the waterway!"
Hearing Valentine's shout, Cathy finally felt relieved.
After sailing for half a day, they finally passed through the narrow waterway and arrived at an open body of water.
In the very center of the water was a huge island.
-
That's right! This must be Feathered Island.
Looking back at the abyss behind me—I never imagined I would actually do it!
Overjoyed, Casey didn't forget to give the order: "Land!"
"Yes, young master," Valentine performed a full curtsy.
Soon, the ship docked.
Upon seeing the golden sandy beach and the ancient, gnarled trees deep in the distance, Kathy immediately realized that she might have arrived at an extraordinary place.
With everyone's help, the ship was pulled ashore and grounded, and the ropes connecting the ship to the hull were nailed to the ground with beechwood nails.
Kathy realized that there might be many places on this island that needed to be explored.
But that's a story for another time.
Right now, all he wants to do is find Harriet.
He stood before Harriet: "My lady, do you still remember the promise you made to me?"
Kathy thought Harriet would give her a mischievous grin—
However, her face was filled with terror as her gaze swept over Cathy's head.
She pointed to the sea behind Casey: "Casey, that—"
Kathy quickly turned around and was immediately taken aback.
A dozen or so boats were heading toward the beach where they were.
What's going on? Could it be Zorc's fleet?!
Kathy immediately found Valentine: "Prepare for defense! Enemies!"
Valentine also looked at the fleet, but a sly smile crept across his face: "Don't worry, young master, they're friends."
Kathy was taken aback and quickly looked out to sea.
Only then did they realize that the emblems painted on the sails billowing in the wind were skulls.
Those are pirate ships.
Kathy immediately questioned Valentine, "What exactly happened?"
Valentine shrugged: "Young master, didn't I already tell you?"
"1
"What do you mean?"
"You seem to be of noble status, while we, including Governor Cyril, are pirates."
Valentine drew his scimitar and pressed it against Casey's throat. "We're not in cahoots!"
