Chapter 169 : Legend of Island

After that, Alex began his journey in search of the mysterious woman that he saw in his dream with Elizabeth.

He also started spending time with Elizabeth, talking with her, getting to know her and learning more about her.

Alex and Elizabeth began visiting various places together, spending a lot of time with each other and deepening their connection. As they travelled,

After two months of searching,

He met several people and asked them about the island, but no one had heard of it. Everyone he asked just stared back at him with a blank expression.

He searched for it in various historical records, maps, and libraries, but he couldn't find a single reference to the island. He was beginning to think it was just a myth.

As he was about to give up, he found a dusty old journal in a small town. In it, he found a description of the myth of the Sword of Cortés. This description also confirmed the existence of the island he was searching for.

The Sword of Cortés was a mystical, cursed weapon used by Hernán Cortés, a corrosive conquistador, during his conquest of the Aztec empire. The sword's power was derived from its combination with a scabbard, made from the innards of Aztec sacrifices.

But later that sword was used by Stone-Eyed Sam who is the ruler of the so-called City of the Dead on the skeletal island.

Stone-Eyed Sam was a pirate captain. As well as being known as the pirate king of Skeletal Island, he also ruled the entire island. Who existed a century ago?

As a result of both his sword and treasure in his eye, he held enormous power and authority. However, it was not stated what powers he held in his eye.

Many attempted to steal his treasures and sword, but they all ended up in death.

But even the most powerful person couldn't escape death. He met his end on his own island, where he was hailed as king.

Many pirates wanted the treasure of the pirate king. Nevertheless, it is said that the pirate's ghost protects his sword and treasures. His city has also vanished with the passage of time due to the greed of the people for treasure.

The island was also filled with savages after the fall of the city of the dead, and it is said that they worshipped the fire goddess. They were said to be so loyal to her that they would not allow strangers to set foot on the island.

Like that, all people who knew about the island ceased to exist and the island also mysteriously disappeared in the mist, never to be seen again.

Some pirates sought treasures and the sword on that island, but they never returned to tell the tales.

As a result, the island was forgotten over the course of time.

Present

In Alex's ship

In the ship bedroom

Elizabeth was sleeping lazily on the bed in the ship's bedroom, her face illuminated by the dim light coming in from the light beside the bed. Moonlight shone through the porthole window, casting a soft glow across the room.

"Alex, did you find what you were looking for?" asked Elizabeth as she saw Alex sitting beside her bed in a chair, closing the book he was reading.

She really got tired of looking for that island, as they didn't find anything related to that.

Alex closed the book he was reading and stood up from the couch, stretching his arms. He climbed onto the bed, removed his shoes and socks, and then crawled under the covers. He then hugged Elizabeth affectionately who was sleeping next to him and nestled into her embrace.

"What it seems you are in a good mood? " Asked Elizabeth who was lying in Alex's hug.

"Almost, not only that I found many interesting things "

"It seems that the island holds more mysteries than I thought"

"So are we going to that island?" asked Elizabeth.

"No before that are going, we are going to London "

"Why are we going to London?"

"The map which shows the way is said to be present in the British Library "

"It is said to be the last map, which was left over time"

Elizabeth excitedly kissed Alex's cheek as she said, "Yeah, we're going to London.".

"Why are you excited?"

"Yes, I want to do some shopping and buy clothes "

"Shopping?"

"But before that let's do our thing," he said as he tightly hugged Elizabeth.

Alex kissed Elizabeth passionately on the lips. And there were various sounds in the room - moans, sighs, and whispers of love. And like that, the night came to an end.
