This journey was no different than before. Because they chose the farthest sword as their target, their sailing time at sea this time was also much longer than expected.

Even at the speed of the "Black Pearl", the fastest ship on the ocean, it took them four months of sailing before they successfully approached their destination and discovered the location where the sword was suspected to be hidden on the Marauder's Map.

In fact, this process is a bit bizarre.

It was the fourth month and seven days after they left the Sea Witch Island. During a certain voyage, Karl suddenly discovered that the position of the compass was different from before, almost rotating 180°.

If the compass made no mistakes, it could only mean that they had missed the location of the sword's hiding place.

With the previous experience of the [Sword of the Siren] guarded by the giants in the sky, and the [Sword of the King] owned by the mermaid under the sea, Karl and the others also knew that they could not stick to the simple design of hiding this sword on the island.

Certainly.

So after turning the ship's bow, they began to explore the sea inch by inch.

The result is that after arriving at a certain location, the compass fails.

The pointer in front of Karl did not suddenly turn around after reaching a certain position like before, but in a huge area, the compass pointer was constantly rotating, as if it had malfunctioned and made people confused at a glance.

At first, Karl even thought about whether the sword this time was too big, so they always had an exaggerated idea of ​​being directly above the [sword].

However, when they took out the "Marauder's Map" and raised their sights as high as possible, they still couldn't find anything like an empty island. Under the deep sea, where the sun couldn't shine, there was also the mermaid princess Iida sneaking in to search.

Nothing was gained.

There is nothing in the sky or the bottom of the sea. Why don't you ask your companions who can dive into the soil to dig three feet under the sea?

Just when the journey to find the sword reached an impasse, Yug, who had not been seen for a long time after leaving the Sea Witch Island, appeared on the deck.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, this knowledgeable evil god came to the Marauder's Map, and then controlled the picture to be in an area just enough to make the compass ineffective. Then the evil god slowly squatted down holding his skirt and took out the free map.

He pressed his hand on the Marauder's Map.

"All one... One is all..."

A subtle spell came out of her mouth, and then the scene on the "Marauder's Map" finally changed again. On this clean sea, a string of ancient and obscure languages ​​appeared in it.

At the same time, a violent wind immediately arose on the sea that was calm and sunny just now, and the dark clouds that came from nowhere completely covered the sun. The quiet and peaceful sea turned violent in the blink of an eye, and then

It was as if someone had touched something that was absolutely inviolable.

Fortunately, Yug stood up after taking a look at these words. As her hand left the "Marauder's Map", the letters on it began to disappear, and at the same time, the violent sea immediately began to calm down.

In the scene that just happened, Karl also saw clearly the changes on the "Marauder's Map", and he also saw the ancient and obscure text. This type of text has the shadow of Latin letters, but it is different from any mainstream text.

The words are completely different, and the real meaning is completely incomprehensible.

Yug seemed to know this too, so she started to translate too:

"If you want to enter the hidden place, you must get the gem that opens the route, and then enter here at the right time."

"That's all you can know."

Yuge told everyone the reason for what happened here in a short and concise sentence.

The compass is actually not wrong, because this is the correct place to enter the hidden place, but if you want to go to the hidden sword place, you also need this crucial key gem.

From the changes that took place in the sea when Yug peeked into the mystery just now, Karl knew that this seventh sword was probably very extraordinary. After all, how could something that could put the entire sea into such a state be an ordinary prop?

?

With a trace of expectation in his heart, Karl also confirmed what he should do.

So he nodded towards Yug to express his gratitude, and then changed his mind as always, and "the location of the gem that opens the path" immediately emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, after the goal in my heart changed, the compass needle that had been rotating just now stabilized and pointed firmly in a direction to the south.

By the way, the key they need is this location!

"Captain Hook!"

After learning the location of the gem, Carl immediately walked to the helm of the ship and showed Captain Hook at the helm where the compass pointed.

"clear!"

In response to Carl, Captain Hook's iron hook was set on the rudder, and the "Black Pearl" sailed to a new location again.

After cleaning up the traces of the previous activities on the deck, and following the completely clear sea, the "Black Pearl" left the area where the seventh sword was hidden in almost no time.

What happened next once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

After leaving this location, the "Black Pearl" sailed for two and a half months without arriving at the location of the [Gem].

This journey was unexpectedly long. It was not until the beginning of the third month that something different appeared.

…

"land!"

"Mr. Captain, if I read correctly, it is a continent!"

Just after lunch that day, the observer above noticed new changes and informed Karl of this information.

"mainland?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Realizing what the observer was saying, Carl immediately climbed up the mast, wanting to see for himself what was going on.

As a result, when he stood at the highest point, Karl finally confirmed that the observer was right.

In the distance of sight, a huge piece of land appeared there, with land stretches on both sides until it disappeared from sight.

A place of this size could not be a large island. It could only be that they came to a new land, or at least a place as large as Iceland or Australia.

"Naiya, come up!"

Seeing the land appearing in front of him, Karl did not hesitate to call up Naiya who was doing "digestion exercises" with Iida on the deck. He had to ask what was going on now.

Assuming that the land here exceeds the location of the cursed sea, then things will be very serious.

Without the power to suppress him, he would not dare to run to land like this.

It would be fine if Naia and Yug were real bodies, but they are just incarnations now. You must know that the big bosses in "The Silmarillion" are not vegetarians!
