A guy who says 'be my son' when we meet is either a human trafficker or a psychopath.

"Woman's fire?" The bar owner laughed loudly when he heard the blond young man's question, "Some people really believe in this kind of legend."

"I heard my friend talking about it, and I'm a little curious." The blond young man's figure is different from ordinary people's tall. He sat in the tavern with his body bent, but it didn't make people feel sluggish. "The rumors are raging, so let's come and have a look , Ku la la la la la!" He laughed and drank the rum in his hand.

"Rumor?" The boss dried the washed quilt and hung it on the shelf above his head.

Seeing the bar owner's interest in the rumors, the blond young man put the empty wine glass on the table: "This island is a place for ghosts."

The bar owner looked at the young man in front of him who obviously had giant blood, and shook his head.He has no interest in this kind of nonsense at all: "If you really want to see it, go to the cemetery behind the town. I remember a few years ago when the will-o'-the-wisp theory was the most popular, it was about people who were about to die, and they would see them there A faint blue ghost fire."

"Dying people?" The blond young man held his chin with interest, "Is everyone who saw it dead?"

"It's been abandoned there for a long time." The bar owner didn't mind telling him what he knew. It would be best if he could dispel the young man's thoughts. "There used to be a crazy old man who lived there. There are some treasures that others are not allowed to approach, but he died two years ago."

"Hey, Yauke is in the story of the old madman again!" The young man on the other side, who is obviously familiar with the bar owner, also came over, "If you want me to say that the old guy has been crazy for so long, what I say is not trustworthy. After a few years The previous wave of pirates turned over the cemetery and found nothing."

"So, they have been punished." The bar owner, Yao Ke, refilled the drinks for the guests, "The boat caught fire just after setting out to sea." It was another villager who spoke, "The raging flames flashed by, The blue light soaring into the sky is something I will never forget."

"Accidentally lighted something. When I was cooking, I could still see a little bit of blue in the orange-red." Yauke answered the words indifferently, "Anyway, there are still few strange places It's better to go." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to serve another guest.

The blond young man looked at the back of the bar owner, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"I'm talking about Newgate." The man sitting beside the blond young man who had been silent all this time pushed the brim of his hat, "You shouldn't cause trouble for us, right?" Even though he said that, the despair on his face was already expressed out of his conjecture.

"I came here because of this legend," the man called Newgate laughed, "wouldn't it be a pity to leave without looking at it. Besides, didn't you discover it too?" He lowered his voice, "That boss obviously knows something." He clearly heard the word 'bilan'.

"No... I didn't hear anything." The man lay weakly on the table, "Please let me go... We are here to find navigators, not to explore, Newgate." He trembled Raising his hand, "I knew that the great route was so weird, what was wrong with me back then, and I left my hometown with you."

"Koo la la la la la la," Newgate seemed to have heard something interesting, "because we are children of the sea."

"It didn't comfort me," the man buried his face on the table, "You fight with your mother every day?"

"Ku la la la la la la..."

The two stayed in the tavern until midnight while chatting.The partners on the boat gathered in the tavern one after another, but the blond young man who had been sitting all day got up and left.The bar owner frowned and looked at the back of the blond young man leaving. He was about to raise his foot to catch up, but was stopped by a customer.

The one who stopped him was the black-haired young man who was sitting with the blond giant during the day. He held up the empty wine glass in his hand and blocked the way of the bar owner as if unintentionally: "Speaking of something, I still want to ask you "He smiled, as if he was really just a guest who wanted to inquire about the news, "Is there any navigator on this island?"

On the other side, Newgate scouted the road along the day and walked towards the back hill.According to legend, the place where the will-o'-the-wisp is most often seen is the remains of the castle very close to the forest, which was later used as a cemetery.The starlight at night illuminates the earth, and without the guidance of street lights, it is already possible to clearly see the surrounding situation.

There was nothing unusual until we reached the cemetery.Newgate looked at the place overgrown with grass, looked at the dilapidated cabin, and then turned to face the woods: "The will-o'-the-wisp they are talking about, is that you?" His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, "Can you Shall I take a look, the legendary fire of death."

The forest at night refuses to fill the sky with silvery starlight, and the blackness looks like the huge mouth of a beast, ready to devour people at any time.

"I don't want to," Newgate seemed a little disappointed, "I changed my route all the way, just to see the legendary flame of death." He scratched his head and seemed quite troubled.But even after saying this, the smile on his face did not fade away, and his snow-white teeth shone brightly, reflecting the starlight.

The ruins are like a dividing line, dividing the forest and Newgate.Even though the distance was only a few steps away, Newgate just stood there, not moving forward: "But it must be a very beautiful blue, like the sea, like the sky." He laughed when he said so stand up.

Clouds obscured the sky, dimming the stars.

"If you don't want to, forget it, but there is another thing I want to say."

The tree shadow rustled, as if responding to his words.

"Be my son!" Newgate laughed and stretched out his hand towards the dark forest.

In the dark cemetery, the only sound was Newgate's breathing.He waited, waited, waited until the clouds passed by, the moon appeared, and the stars illuminated the earth again, before letting go.

"Going away?" He patted his head, "Sure enough, it would be better to say 'I'll be your father' next time?"
