The battle of thousands of ships, the pursuit of the [Eternal Avalon], the terrifying deep sea under the Devil's Triangle, everything makes people's heart beat faster and enter a state of extreme excitement or fear.
But when faced with the beautiful golden world before my eyes, my breathing calmed, my heart became steady, and an incomparable tranquility filled my chest. Those fierce and terrifying things seemed to be just illusions in the stream, and disappeared like a nightmare with the rising sun.
“Is this the hidden world in the bottle of life?”
Blaze subconsciously grabbed Audrey's wrist and looked back. Pais appeared behind them without them noticing.
Although she was also looking at the beautiful woods, unlike the shock felt by others, her eyes seemed to be searching for something.
Blaze looked down at Pais's feet. The pair of feet in strappy sandals were stepping into a stream. The stream contained an aura very similar to the light golden river under the Devil's Triangle.
"Can you recover your divine body now?"
"This? This is just the aroma of mead at best. The juice in the fountain of youth is made from the golden apples." Pais raised his chin towards the golden apple forest.
"Only by bathing in honey wine can I restore my divine body."
"You actually bathe with juice. Won't it be sticky after the bath?" Blazer touched his chin and looked at Audrey. "I heard that noble ladies bathe with milk. Is that true?"
"I don't know, but I know Uncle and Herbie would spank me if I tried to do that." Audrey winked at Blaise.
“Hey~”
Seeing Audrey and Blazer chatting without paying attention to the people around them, Pais lowered her head, her face mostly covered by shadows, staring at the two of them dimly. But she seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Blazer, I promised you that if you took me to the source of the Fountain of Youth, I would help you restore Audrey's Moon Goddess appearance."
"Have you ever done such a thing?" Audrey looked at Blaze, her brows slightly furrowed, making the five scars on her face more eye-catching.
"Ah, I know this trick. I've seen it on TV. It's a plot to sow discord." Greenland stood next to Audrey, his beard trembling. "She wants you to think that Blaze's words to you, 'You're beautiful', were a lie. Deep down, she still feels that the scar on your face is glaring."
"I know that too. She might have deliberately left some details vague." The poisoner stood on the other side of Audrey and opened his fan to cover the lower half of his face.
"For example, whether Blaze agreed to this or not, coming here was inevitable, but she deliberately proposed this deal to Blaze and mentioned it at this moment, as if Blaze paid so much just to restore your appearance."
"Conclusion." Claire stood in front of Audrey, staring at Pais who was still smiling with her inorganic eyes, "Bad woman."
"I..." Blaze clenched his fists and whispered.
"I do want to restore your face. When she mentioned this deal, I was happy inside, but..."
Blaze chose to tell the truth, and he looked at Audrey helplessly.
No matter how nice the words were that day, it couldn't change the fact that Audrey's face was ruined. Audrey was the queen of Arcadia, and she would face many, many people. No matter how outstanding her abilities were, everyone would only point fingers at her face.
Either with a chuckle or with regret, when something perfect is destroyed, people only see the cracks and ignore the rest.
This might indeed be what Greenland and the others said, Pais's divisive plot, but even if he knew it, he would step into it. Even if Audrey was angry, sad, and felt cheated, he would get the things.
Audrey faced Blaze's gaze, slowly turned her head, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Can it really be restored?"
"Huh?" Blaze was stunned. He didn't expect this reaction.
But Audrey obviously would not respond to his doubts. She turned her head away guiltily.
Being able to psychologically accept a disfigured face is one thing, but wanting to restore it is another.
Audrey's fingers stirred unnaturally. Although she acted very detached, it was proved that detachment was only a temporary state. Most people were still vulgar.
In fact, she had tried to use facial cream to lighten the scar a long time ago, but she had never dared to do so, mainly because she was afraid that Blaze would notice.
Just as Blaze was afraid that she would know, she also didn't want Blaze to know. She was worried that Blaze would look down on her.
But she heard the boy's cheerful laughter, as if he had been relieved of a great burden.
"Hahaha... Well, that's good. It means we are in sync." Blaze smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumbs. He put his hands on his hips and smiled at Audrey. "Let's just say we are striving for the most perfect ending."
"Pace, I don't know if this is your conspiracy, but I will step into it. So tell me how to restore Audrey's appearance."
Pais still faced it with an elegant smile. Even when Claire pointed at her, she didn't get angry. She was like a tolerant and generous god who responded to slander with a calm smile.
But God never forgives.
"Golden Apple. There is an extremely special golden apple in the golden apple forest. Once you find it, squeeze it into juice and apply it to Audrey's wound, her appearance will be restored."
"That means we have to go in." Blaze looked back at the golden apple grove.
There was no sense of danger there, and it made people feel very safe, but for some reason, he was somewhat reluctant to go in.
There was a hint of weirdness in this beauty and tranquility, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Captain Babo walked slowly back from the Dead Bear. He touched the back of his head and looked strangely at the group of people who seemed to be in confrontation.
He seemed unable to get into the topic, so he continued to touch the back of his head, took a deep breath and planned to take a look at the ultimate treasure place pursued by the legendary pirates.
It is worthy of being called the Golden Apple Forest, the apples look more golden than real gold.
"Wait." Captain Babo touched his chin with a strange look on his face. "Why can't I see the pirate ship of the legendary pirates? Why is there no one here? Where are the legendary pirates?"
“Not even animals.”
Blaze's fingers twitched, and he knew what the strange feeling in his heart was.
This is a world full of life, but there are no animals.
Not to mention people, there were no birds, beasts, or even insects. There was only a beautiful forest of golden apples.
But when faced with the beautiful golden world before my eyes, my breathing calmed, my heart became steady, and an incomparable tranquility filled my chest. Those fierce and terrifying things seemed to be just illusions in the stream, and disappeared like a nightmare with the rising sun.
