The captain took the compass handed to him by Cecilia suspiciously.

After trying it in his hand, he found that the compass Cecilia handed over was indeed not like their previous compasses, whose needle kept spinning and couldn't stop.

"How do you know that your compass is pointing in the right direction?"

Cecilia smiled, "Why don't you just try to drive back?"

The captain was worried about how to get back.

Their compass had been out of service for a while.

Now, returning home depends entirely on his experience.

But what if the compass is pointing in the wrong direction?

Cecilia could see the other party's hesitation. "There's actually nothing wrong with my compass. Maybe the compass on the ship has been used for too long and it's broken?"

Cecilia gestured to Joyce, who hesitated for a moment and handed the compass in his arms to Cecilia.

When Cecilia handed the compass to the captain, the direction of the compass was the same as the one she had just handed over.

The captain looked suspiciously at the two compasses in his hands.

The compasses of all the sailors on the ship were broken, but their compass was the only one that was working?

Isn’t this too strange?

But if we let the boat go any further, we might never be able to return.

He had to try it anyway, and the captain finally chose to believe the words of this weak and harmless little girl in front of him.

An hour later, all the equipment and compasses on the ship were working again.

The compass on the ship pointed in the same direction as the one Cecilia gave.

The captain looked at the compass in his hand and sent someone to tell him that he wanted to borrow the compass for a while.

Cecilia gave the messenger some reward.

After Joyce and the others left, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that the captain will sail the ship directly back to Clifton Harbor?"

Cecilia shook her head. "He will try again. After trying, we will know whether he will sail the ship back to Clifton Harbor."

Joyce asked, "Did he really sail the boat back to Clifton Harbour?"

Cecilia didn't care. "Then let's buy a boat and sail there ourselves."

Joyce thought for a moment and gave his answer, "Your Highness, none of us traveling this time have experience in sailing a ship."

Cecilia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, someone will come to open it."

Joyce didn't know why Cecilia was so sure, but since Her Highness said so, there must be some plans that he didn't know about.

After Joyce left.

Cecilia now had a compass in her hand.

Looking at the changes in the direction on the compass and ultimately not returning, she smiled and put the compass away.

I was just about to push the door open and go out to the deck to bask in the sun for a while as the afternoon sun was still pretty good.

I felt a magical fluctuation at the door.

Cecilia was instantly alert, "Come out."

The person who appeared in front of Cecilia was Abeluna, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Cecilia remembered that the last time she saw Abeluna was also in Clifton Harbor.

Has she never left here since we last met?

Cecilia lowered her guard a little.

"Why are you here?"

Abeluna didn't answer, "Leave Mermaid Island."

"reason."

"The clan leader died about three hundred years ago."

Cecilia was shocked. Thinking of the mermaid chief who had enthusiastically shown them his abilities, sadness suddenly welled up in her heart.

"How did he die?"

Cecilia was just asking out of politeness, and she subconsciously thought it was a natural death.

Abeluna's answer shocked her, "The black magician did it himself. Elal dismembered the body."

!

Cecilia looked at Abeluna in shock.

Abeluna said, "This is a test given to him by the black magician. He can't refuse it."

Cecilia's eyes widened, and she was a little excited. "Do you think I'm stupid? What do you mean I can't refuse? Does he have to use black magic?"

Abeluna looked at Cecilia steadily, "Without the black magic, he wouldn't be alive today."

Cecilia took two steps back.

In the end, she became the culprit.

In order to find her, her old friends took a detour and went to find the black magician.

In order to see her alive, her old friends bowed to the black magician and did a series of unforgivable things.

Cecilia's face was filled with tears without her knowing. "The chieftain used to take good care of us..."

Few humans can pass the mermaids' test.

When they really entered the mermaid kingdom, the patriarch was very curious.

He used the mermaids' ability to control the ocean to send messages to many mermaids.

During the time they were in the Mermaid Kingdom, the country was bustling with people coming to see what the humans who had passed the test looked like.

In addition, the presence of the elf Demetra attracted a lot of attention.

The clan leader thanked them happily, "In previous years, only the celebrations held every ten years could be so lively here."

He was like an old man guarding an empty house alone, waiting for his children to return.

He was so happy that he personally took them to travel in the seabed and showed them his abilities. He was worried that they would not have enough to eat in the seabed, so he specially prepared a variety of seafood and fruits from other islands for them on the island.

After learning about their purpose, the patriarch readily signed the Peace Treaty.

When leaving, the patriarch was very reluctant.

Tell them that Mermaid Island is waiting for them to come back at any time.

They were even blessed with the ocean. "This blessing is engraved on the soul and will never disappear. Children blessed by the ocean will definitely find their way home."

The "home" that the patriarch refers to is the Mermaid Kingdom.

This is also the reason why Cecilia is confident that she can find the Mermaid Island and enter it.

Cecilia seemed to realize something. Humans generally cannot find the so-called Siren Island.

Many times, even if you get there, it is by accident.

Theoretically, even a black magician might not be able to find it.

Cecilia reacted and looked at Abeluna in disbelief, "So it was Ellal who took the black magician with him?"

Abeluna did not move.

Cecilia grabbed her shoulders tightly and said, "Answer me!"

Abeluna nodded painfully.

Cecilia didn't dare to think about it.

How happy would a man like the patriarch be to greet Elar after sensing his presence?

But what did he greet?

The tears couldn't stop flowing.

"It's not too late to turn back now. The mermaids are very hostile to humans. Before, the mermaids would only play tricks on humans and would not really take the lives of the humans on the ship. But now..."

Cecilia interrupted Abeluna with bloodshot eyes, "Isn't this all your fault?"

Abeluna did not deny it, nor did she talk about her "hardships" again. "It's still not too late to return."

Cecilia wiped the tears from her face, her eyes firm, "Then let me die in this sea and atone for my sins to the clan leader."
