Weird Star Witch

The Bauhinia left the White Night Harbor to make room for another cargo ship that was transporting stones.

After nightfall, Rudolph flew away from the Bauhinia. Some people also found that Rudolph often left at night, but Rudolph was a level 4 wizard and must have many secrets. Only by not asking anything could he live long.

After leaving the Bauhinia for a distance, Rudolph asked Larry to appear. Larry guided the star power in the sky and began tonight's divination. The result of the divination was to continue eastward, then northward, until it reached a place that all evil gods thought was desolate.

The Bauhinia continued to move away from the coast, and after another half a month, it entered an archipelago.

Each of these archipelagos is not big. There is no evil god's temple here, and it is desolate enough. A large ship like the Bauhinia cannot even enter the port. It can only anchor in the shallow sea and go ashore in a small boat.

There is actually a small druid tribe on this small island. The navigator Pilot was familiar with dealing with the small tribe of druids on this island. Rudolf guessed that Pilot was also from a druid on an island. The living environment of the druids was somewhat primitive, and they could survive on such a small island.

After chatting, I learned that the custom of sea burial was actually preserved here.

After waiting for several days, Rudolf came to a remote beach. When the sun set from the sea level, the sea burial of the island began.

The specially made boat was the coffin for sea burial. The deceased would be placed in the boat with a black sail, and the sea breeze would take the deceased to the place where he would sleep forever.

The deceased today was a little girl with red hair.

She lay motionless in the boat, imagining that one day, you would be like that corpse, no longer wake up, and you would no longer have any connection with this world. The fear of death invaded the psychological defense line of every mourner.

"Village chief, do you know where the destination of the sea burial is?"

For strangers other than the druids, the village chief was sufficiently vigilant.

"I don't know. This is our custom. What do you want to do by asking about the destination of the sea burial? Our ancestors and family members are buried there!"

In the eyes of the village chief, Rudolph doesn't look like a good person at first glance.

Wearing a black robe and holding a cane that only rich people use, the cane is decorated with beads and gold, and it looks cheap.

The village chief's simple experience tells him that there are no good people among the rich. This experience is not wrong. The accumulation of primitive capital is mostly accompanied by plunder and blood. Rudolph's cane can be said to be bloodstained and countless wronged souls.

Unable to get anything from the village chief, Rudolph left the village.

After returning to the Bauhinia by boat, Rudolph hurriedly used the Eye of the Sea Fish to track the sea burial boat.

The three swimming fish found the boat and swam slowly under it.

On a night without the sun, the temperature became lower and lower, and the temperature of the sea water also became lower and lower. The three fish following the sea burial boat became more and more stiff in their tail-wagging movements, and the pictures sent back became more and more dim.

Until a certain moment, the three fishes' vision became lower and lower, and they began to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Rudolph controlled the three fishes to stand in the sea water and let them look at the sea burial boat, but until they died completely, they could not collect any useful information.

When Rudolph said that the Bauhinia should move in the direction of the sea burial boat, he was opposed by Mackenzie and other crew members.

"Mr. Shipowner! You must have enough respect for the customs on the sea!"

In the eyes of Mackenzie and others, Rudolph's behavior was extremely rebellious.

"The custom of burial at sea is a traditional custom in the eastern waters of the Saragu Sea. People around here will perform burial at sea, even some believers of evil gods do the same. They will be buried in the sea that nurtures them after death. This is a custom formed over thousands of years.

The same is true for the crew members who walked out of this sea area. Even if they die in other sea areas, they will choose burial at sea.

After a person dies, the body gradually becomes cold and the soul will leave the body. No one knows where the soul goes in the end, and no one knows where the body goes after the burial at sea.

Mr. Rudolph, you can't explore the destination of the burial at sea because of your excessive curiosity. This is a blasphemy against the custom of burial at sea!"    Mackenzie was so indignant that he didn't even care about Rudolph's identity as a wizard.

"Okay, okay, you are right. It's my problem. I won't blaspheme the custom of burial at sea again."

Rudolph and Cooper looked at each other and knew that they couldn't make sense with these crew members.

Rudolph and the other two came from land. In their view, the ocean was just a large lake, and the ship was just a kind of transportation that was larger than a carriage. But for people like Mackenzie who have lived on the sea all their lives, the sea is an awe-inspiring existence.

The sea is selfless, and she nurtures the people on both sides of the Saragu Sea; the sea is also ruthless, and her rage will overturn any sea ship. Faced with this ocean that is simply irresistible, people gradually formed many customs, and sea burial is one of them.

The ocean can make death peaceful and make people no longer afraid of death.

Although he said that he would not explore sea burials anymore, Rudolph was a materialist fighter, so how could he back down?

The Bauhinia was docked in Redbeard Harbor, the largest port in the archipelago.

Rudolph and Cooper left the port, leaving only Yvonne to help watch over the Bauhinia.

They came to the edge of the island, where a sea burial was being carried out. The deceased was an elderly couple. After the old man died, the old woman also died two days later.

"Rudolph, is this really okay for us?"

Cooper was not afraid of corpses, but he was influenced by Mackenzie's rhetoric and felt that exploring the destination of a sea burial was somewhat sacrilegious.

At this time, Cooper and Rudolf were lying in a sea burial boat, and above them lay a corpse. It was the elderly couple who had just passed away.

The corpse floating on the black sea made Cooper very uncomfortable. It was one thing to use the corpse, but it was another thing to be pressed by the corpse.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? A thorough materialist is fearless! In the face of the truth, death is nothing but a trivial matter!"

Cooper sometimes felt that Rudolph was nagging, more like a priest than a priest, so he chose to close his eyes and stop thinking about it. Maybe while floating, they reached their destination, the end of the sea burial that Rudolf wanted to see.

The boats used for burials at sea are specially built disposable boats and are not sturdy. Many small boats would not last long before they sank due to water leakage, and Rudolf did not know where he would drift.

I don’t know how long it took for Rudolph to feel sleepy. Cooper suddenly shouted: “It’s leaking!”

Rudolf's boat had leaked a long time ago, he just didn't say it.

"Don't panic! The charity of sea fish and the punishment of storms are all gifts from Mother Ocean..."

The two small boats sank one after another, and the water poured into the bottom of the boat, submerged the ship's planks, and eventually even the sail disappeared into the water.

The temperature of the sea water here is much lower than that of other sea areas. This low temperature makes Rudolph feel like he is soaked in a mixture of ice and water. As long as it is a little lower, the sea water will freeze.

Just when Rudolph had to use the traveling fish technique to obtain oxygen in the sea water, suddenly an undercurrent came.

The undercurrent rolled up the sea burial boat and rushed to a certain direction under the sea.

Rudolf grasped the arm of the old man's corpse, because the target of this undercurrent was not him, but the corpse.

Rudolph has a level 4 fish swimming skill, and Cooper also has a Pisces witchcraft, which allows them to stay in the sea for a very long time.

I don’t know how long after drifting with the undercurrent on the seabed, the undercurrent disappeared.

A fishing net caught and slowly sank, picking up Rudolph and Cooper.

"There are two people here!"
