Dawn of the Grey Tower

Totems, such things often appear in more primitive communities, and are regarded as tribal symbols and spiritual sustenance. In fact, its existence is not just a symbol. The emergence of the totem originated from the worship of ancestors, similar to monuments or sculptures, but as it was worshipped as an idol, I do n’t know when to start. The way of the totem appeared in this world. As far as the witches' knowledge is concerned, although most of the totems in this world are just similar to signs, there are also very few examples that can be used as a medium to trigger magic and even other powers. And the one that appears in front of them now obviously belongs to the latter. And, the witch with blue eyes also knew what this totem represented.

"Are you a descendant of Thunder Giant?" The witch's expression became serious. The Thundering Giant is a sailor and inhabitant of the Distraught Bay and the nearby waters. The legend is known. The storms in the sea are said to be due to a giant. His feet stepped on the seabed, his head passed through the clouds, and his breath spewed out of dark clouds. , His voice is thunder, and his gaze is lightning. Therefore, those ships that are caught in the storms at sea often see the huge figure reflected by the thunder on the black cloud, that is the figure of the thunder giant.

The captain didn't answer the witch's question, not because he didn't want it, but because he didn't react from this sudden situation. The man carefully reached out and pinched the totem, which still had some subtle electro-optics, and took it to his eyes to watch it carefully in the sense of numbness. He is thinking about this totem, which is also justifiable. Many sailors will put some commemorative small objects into decorative objects and hang them on their bodies. As a result, they will remember one of them for a long time. The origins of will become quite difficult. Fortunately, the feeling of being stimulated by electricity activated his brain, and the captain quickly recalled the origin of this totem.

It was many years ago. When the captain had just become the captain, his ship was far less beautiful and practical than this three-masted sailboat. However, an old ship with a young captain is a common combination in any sea area. At that time, he hadn't come to the Heart of Disappointment. Although he had heard of this impossible land ruled by witches, he hadn't set off yet. But the young man ’s unique courage, or call it recklessness, did not make his early sailing experience smooth. In order to smuggle a cargo, he and his crew ventured into a city in war, where he met A blind old man. Such an old man can't survive the war, but who else can guarantee himself? In short, whether it is out of sympathy or the value of the old man's knowledge, the young captain took the old man to the ship while getting the goods he wanted.

Recalling this now, the captain can still clearly remember the appearance of the old man and the wrinkles on his face, which is really incredible for the sailors who have used all the memories in the waterways and charts. Later, the old man sailed with the captain for a period of time, possibly a few months, but definitely less than a year. When a ship stopped to supply in a small town close to Lost Heart Bay, the young captain told the old man his idea of ​​going to Lost Heart Bay sooner or later. The old man gave no advice or advice, but gave the ornament on his neck to the captain, and then disembarked in the town and left. Perhaps he felt that his old bones could not endure the life on board.

"Gah! Gah!" The raven's tweet interrupted the captain's memory. He saw a black bird that was nearly twice the size of the ordinary crow, flying from the direction of the heartless bay, and fell on the witch's. On the shoulder. The latter's expression immediately became solemn, she whispered something to the crow, and then reluctantly spoke to the captain again, "Thank you the kindness of the big witch, Mr. Captain. This time your life will stay with you In your hand. But you better remember that you owe us a life. At the same time, I have to congratulate you, because there is no boat closer to the Gulf of Lost in this sea, so, if there is no accident, you will be The first batch of landers. Enjoy your glory and luck, sailor. "

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. I will cherish this time of luck." The captain replied in a calm voice. He really did not expect that he could recover his life in this situation. Now it seems that the old man may have realized that in this land ruled by witches when he first heard that he was going to the Lost Heart Bay. What happened at the time, only to give him this totem as a gift to prevent such a scene today. The captain rubbed the totem in his hand with his fingers. If he could see the old man again, he would definitely ask him for a drink. But after all these years, the person who made this totem should have returned to the sea.

"I hope so, the captain of the Black Arrow, Mr. Halfdan. Both the Black Cat and the Raven have already remembered your name, and neither the sea nor the Witch will give you a second chance." He raised his broom and returned to the sisters. The departure of this group of witches is as reminiscent of the bad weather at sea as their arrival. There is no sign and no way.

The sails were hunting, and the crew looked at each other. They didn't know how to face their captain after the incident. Finally, the first officer stood up and came to the captain's side and bowed his head respectfully. "Sir, I'm reporting ..." "Bang!" The first officer's words hadn't been finished yet, and the captain's rough hands immediately pressed his shoulder. Then he swept with a wooden prosthetic leg, tripping the strong man who was taller than himself to the ground. "What do you see? You also heard the witch say! If we don't log in first today, I'll bundle up all of you and feed the sharks! Let me work ~ www.readwn.com ~ You are lazy bone!"

The repressed atmosphere vanished in the captain's familiar screams. The sadness on the sailors' faces resolved immediately, and they complained in their mouths, but their bodies returned to their posts actively and steered the three-masted sailboat named "Black Arrow" in the direction it should go. After confirming that no one was looking at this side, the captain pulled up the first officer who fell to the ground. "How long do you want to be on the deck? Those idiots wouldn't correct their first officer."

"Observe, sir!" The strong man immediately got up from the ground, nodded to the captain, and then gave orders to the other sailors. As if nothing has happened. At this time, the captain picked up his coat and limped back to his post, behind the steering wheel. Only he himself knew how trembling the intact left leg was. When the old seaman's hands held the wooden rudder again, he was really relieved. Some things have passed, it is better not to mention them again. Besides, compared with the crew's discomfort, being remembered by the witch made it more headache. Halfdan took out the totem in his pocket and looked at the dark gray ornament carved out of wood. Those insignificant lines that were originally thought to be wood grain now look similar to the rolling black cloud, but the real The captain kept thinking about it, or the name the witch chanted when he saw the totem, "Is the Thunder Giant."
