Seat of the Void

Chapter 153 The Scholar in the Sea Forest

Rocks and Jinbei took a taxi, and in a short while, they came to the forest of the sea.

Under the leadership of Jinbei, Lockes quickly came to the historical stone tablet in the forest of the sea.

In front of seeing the huge historical stone tablet, Lockes's knowledgeable and domineering nature, which was awakened that day, suddenly showed some different changes.

Looking at the strange words on the stele, although he didn't recognize them, Lockes suddenly discovered that he seemed to be able to understand the meaning.

"Sure enough?"

Lockes murmured in a low voice, then stopped looking at the stele, and turned to look at a mermaid man not far from the stele.

Seeing Lockes looking at him, the mermaid man showed a kind smile.

"Hello, human."

Rocks nodded to the male mermaid.

"I know you, Master Tom mentioned you to me, Dan."

Rocks spoke to Dan not far away.

"Oh? You actually know my brother Tom! Hahaha, that's really an old friend!"

Dan floated in front of Lockes with a smile, and directly and enthusiastically gave Lockes a huge hug.

"Dan? A famous boatman and scholar on Murloc Island. I didn't expect you to be here."

Jinbe looked at Dan and said in surprise.

Dan looked at Jinbei with a smile.

"Ah, there are many places worth studying in Haizhisen. Moreover, this huge historical stone tablet is worth spending a lifetime studying."

Dan floated to the stone tablet, and gently touched the ancient characters engraved on the stone tablet with both hands.

"Don't you think these words are full of charm!"

Lockes looked at those ancient words, and the meaning of these words kept appearing in his mind.

"It's really interesting. But, what I didn't expect is that such a huge stone tablet is just for writing an apology letter."

"That guy named Joey Boy is really an interesting guy."

Hearing Lockes' whispered words, Dan immediately grabbed Lockes' shoulder excitedly.

"You, can you understand those ancient characters! Do you know what it means?!"

Rocks looked at the excited Dan in front of him, shook his head slightly and nodded again.

"I know the meaning, but I can't read these ancient texts."

Lockes took his hands off his shoulders, walked to the stele, and touched the ancient writing on the stele.

The moment Lockes touched the stele with his hands, the scenery in front of Lockes suddenly changed.

He found that he was no longer in the sea forest, but on a huge battleship.

A man was carving words on a huge stone tablet with eyes full of apology.

His eyes were filled with helpless tears.

"Your Highness, believe me, I will definitely come to you. Even if I can't fulfill my promise to you now, no matter how many years have passed, I still firmly believe that someone will replace me to fulfill the promise between us. Promise of."

After the man finished speaking, he picked up the huge stone tablet and threw it on the ground. He also got off the huge battleship and left this place alone in a small sailboat, entering the sea.

After the man left, Lockes also withdrew from the illusion.

Thinking back to the figure that left, Luo Sinuo thought about it.

His hands gently touched every ancient text.

"Aquaman, Poseidon. Heh, it's really interesting."

"I didn't expect that my natural sense of knowledge, besides the boring ability to passively let me hear many voices, would actually have such a function."

"I just don't know if this ability is useful for all antiques or only for historical steles."

Lockes temporarily put down his thoughts.

"By the way, Dan, I heard from Tom that your boatmanship skills are not weaker than his. How about it? Do you want to come to my boat and be my partner?"

Hearing Rocks' invitation suddenly, Dan was taken aback for a moment, and then Shuanglang burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, although, I really want to accept your invitation and go to the sea with you to see the world, but let's forget it."

"My interest is just to study history in Haizhisen. When I'm bored, I take some coating jobs to make ends meet."

"However, thank you very much for inviting me to be your partner."

For Dan's refusal, Rocks did not force it.

Everyone has their own pursuits, and Rocks will not do what is difficult for others.

"Yes, if that's the case, forget it."

Lockes replied with a smile, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Lockes' purpose of coming to Sea Forest has been fulfilled, and he doesn't want to stay here any longer.

"Ah, by the way, Dan, please help me coat my two ships, and I will pay you at the normal price."

Rocks thought of something, turned to Dan and said.

"Ah, don't worry, leave it to me. When my research here is finished, I'll go there by myself in a while. It's the two largest warships at the port, right?"

Dan generously accepted Lockes' request.

"That's your trouble, Dan."

After finishing speaking, Rocks directly greeted Jinbe to leave together.

"Jinbe, do you know Joey Boy?"

On the way, Rocks suddenly asked Jinbe.

"Joey Boy? I've heard of this name. 800 years ago, it seems that there was some agreement with the mermaid princess of our Fishman Island at that time, but in the end he broke the appointment."

Jinbe directly told Lockes all the legends of Murloc Island that he knew.

Those stories are still told with bloody love.

800 years ago, a prince of a certain kingdom, of course, did not know if he was a real prince. In a shipwreck, he accidentally fell into the sea and was rescued by the mermaid princess who happened to be playing in the shallow sea at that time.

Then in a long and short time, the mermaid princess unknowingly fell in love with that bold, powerful and charming man.

And the man, Joy Boy.

Joyboy also fell in love with the mermaid princess because of her beauty, kind heart, and gentle temper.

The two spent a happy time together.

However, happy times will eventually come to an end.

After Joey Boy saw a newspaper, he bid farewell to the mermaid princess and left.

Before leaving, Joey Boy promised that when his work was done, he would bring a huge battleship to marry the mermaid princess, and welcome the entire population of Murloc Island to live on the surface of the sea.

The happy mermaid princess has great trust in Joy Boy's words.

After an unforgettable farewell, one of the two returned to Fishman Island, preparing to get married, and the other returned to the kingdom to participate in a huge war.

But this farewell, unexpectedly, is a farewell forever.

More than ten years later, the war was over, and Joyboy came to the Fishman Island with a exhausted heart, only to learn that the mermaid princess passed away ten years ago because of excessive lovesickness.

This made Joey Boy, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, even more exhausted.

On Fishman Island, he carved this historical stele and spent the rest of his life building a huge battleship, and then completely disappeared before everyone's eyes.

In this way, a poignant love story was preserved and passed down.

After listening to Jinbe's narration, Rocks looked up at the sky of Murloc Island.

"The great war 800 years ago? It's really interesting."
