Chapter 251: I Didn’t Do Anything! Changes at Snake Island! Fink, the One Who Knows When to Yield!

According to the family history, the Barnes family was exiled from the Farlenben Empire due to certain crimes committed by their ancestors. After their exile, the Farlenben Empire was swallowed by a massive tsunami, sinking entirely beneath the ocean. They were never able to return, and this event became the Barnes family's unresolved obsession.

Over the years, the family's search never stopped. Every few generations, a Barnes family member would disregard all consequences and sail toward the unknown waters, seeking their origins. Ellie's grandfather, Levin Barnes, was one such person.

When Ellie was young, Levin often told her of the Sea of Mist's dangers, its eerie and mysterious nature, while cautioning her to never venture into those waters.

"That sea bears ill will toward our family," he would often say, but Levin himself never ceased his search.
