Chapter 448 - 18. Run fast
Time on the island passed quickly; it seemed like only a few blinks of an eye before the sky dimmed and the star-studded night easily enveloped the island, making the already ominous daytime environment even gloomier.
Alagina and Pahetz hadn’t found any meat on the island, but there was an abundance of fruit on the trees; they had gathered enough to fill about five or six boats, which should suffice until the Iceberg Queen reached the next supply point.
As for meat, they could only fish in the sea. It was said that the Iceberg Queen had fishing nets, so tomorrow when it was light, Fisher would go and fish.
The Lion-man Species Philis had worked tirelessly half the day, retrieving a hoard of treasures on the beach behind her, while Pahetz and the others occasionally brought some to add to the pile as a gesture of absolute fairness, not hiding any treasures, waiting to share them when they were done.
The not-so-smart Philis actually believed that the accumulation of treasures behind her was the result of their teamwork, although most of it was dug up by her alone, but as long as she was happy, the atmosphere here was quite harmonious.
As good as things were with Philis and Pahetz, the atmosphere at Valentina’s location was just as bad, naturally because of that damned Ice Scroll.
The conditions on the island were incredibly rudimentary. Originally, Valentina planned to take the scroll back to the Northern Realm before opening it, as her family had a huge, immovable Space Relic that could safely extract the scroll.
But now the problem was that the scroll couldn’t be taken off the island, and trying to extract and read its contents under these primitive conditions proved difficult.
"I mean, aren’t you a Mage? Didn’t you say that this was magic set by the Phoenix Species? Then why not just cancel the magic Emblem on it using magical logic?"
