Standing on the slightly swaying deck, Charles looked at the dim lights in the distance, with a relieved smile on his haggard face.
In any case, they finally reached Broken Heart Island.
"This...all...thanks to...the Mighty One's...shelter...his servant...saving us..." The bandage knelt on his knees and bowed down to the sea piously.
On the other side, Linda pressed her hand against the white triangle on her forehead and said something in her mouth. It was obvious that she had her own explanation for getting rid of the predicament.
Charles didn't think so. He learned from the giants that they were attracted by something, something that moved very fast downstream.
But they didn't see exactly what it was, but no matter what it was, it couldn't be an envoy sent by their god. The gods of Earth Sea had never been so kind.
As the Narwhal approached the island, Charles finally knew why this island was called Broken Heart Island. This island is not a whole like any previous island, it is an island group composed of various small islands.
It's like a complete ceramic plate smashed into pieces on the ground.
The Narwhal drove into a dock, and she was scarred and needed repairs.
The dock on Broken Heart Island is obviously different from other places. First of all, the most special point is the size. Not only is the dock size, stools, tables, drawings, and various machinery, any normal things must be nearly doubled here, including People too.
Fortunately, no matter whether it is a shipworker carrying a huge bone or an engineer holding a blueprint, they have an ignorant attitude towards Charles, which makes the crew's hanging heart a little lower.
In the dock, the robes that these giants no longer wear completely expose their bodies.
In addition to their size, they are also different from ordinary humans. Their skin is light blue, their chins protrude forward invariably, and the two eyebrows are connected together, which has a prehistoric ape-man feeling.
And Charles also discovered that the dock here doesn't have much mechanical things, it seems so primitive, it is almost impossible on other islands.
While Charles was observing the dock, a giant with a pencil behind his ear came up and said, "You want to repair the ship?"
"Yes, steamship, will you repair it? The main hull problem."
The giant circled the Narwhal and said that there was no problem in repairing the steamship. Ordinary repairs take 30 days, and urgent repairs can take as long as 5 days.
Charles chose to expedite, of course, he can think of wasting time in such a place.
But there was a problem when he paid the money. These giants did not accept bank checks, nor did they accept echo coins.
Just when Charles felt embarrassed, the Hike boatman said that Charles didn't need to worry, he had a way.
Soon he walked in with a shriveled man.
The man opened his mouth at Charles and showed an ugly smile with a few teeth missing.
"Hello, my name is Gordon, rest assured, the entire terminal, the echo exchange gold clone, my price is the lowest, I only charge you two layers of handling fees."
"What is Golden Clone?" Charles asked.
"You don't know this, do you dare to come here to search for gold?" He took out a fist-sized golden disc in his arms, which seemed to be a gold coin.
"See if this is the hard currency here. These guys accept these. Echoes are not popular here."
Seeing the pattern on the gold coin, Charles just took it over and took a look, but Gordon took it back. "Do you want to redeem?"
Charles moved his gaze from the gold coin to Gordon's face and looked at him calmly, "You live on this island?"
"Of course, not only do I live on these islands, but I was also born on this island. Broken Heart Island is very familiar to me. You can find me for everything like purchases. I have all the ways." Gordon said. Very confident.
Charles glanced at his clothes and said to him: "I can promise to exchange it with you, but I am not very familiar with this island. I need you to be my guide, 300,000 responses."
Hearing this, Gordon couldn't hide the joy on his face. "No, no problem! This respectable gentleman, please give me the answer, and we will exchange it on the spot."
Just as Charles carried the box of echoes out, Gordon next to him looked more excited than him.
Gordon moved quickly, the echo coins on the ship were quickly replaced with gold clones, and the Haike boatmen immediately began to move.
Watching them hang the Narwhal on the bridge with a chain, Charles walked out with Gordon, who was a little excited.
Outside the dock is the port area. Just like the dock, everything on this road is so huge that the crew members have expressions of amazement. Standing here inexplicably feels like walking into the kingdom of giants.
After watching these huge buildings in front of him for a while, Charles felt a certain awkwardness.
Soon he felt the awkwardness. Compared with his own Hope Island, the buildings here were more primitive.
If the technology level of the islands in the North Sea is at the level of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, then Broken Heart Island will have to go backwards for centuries, and industry has not left a trace here.
"Mr., please come with me here, I will take you to the hotel to settle down first."
"Are there many humans on this island?" Charles asked.
"There are still thousands of people, after all, the Hike people always have to communicate with the outside world." Gordon said while smiling at the giant walking by, even if the other party ignored him.
The orderly surroundings gave Charles a sense of unreality. Is this really a dangerous place in Elizabeth's words?
Elizabeth once said that they are a group of disgusting lunatics, a group of existences that are crazier than the Light God Sect and the God Futan, but now it seems that there is nothing unusual except for their tall and indifferent expressions.
Even the dock area is much cleaner than other islands.
When Charles asked Gordon about the Heikes~EbookFREE.me~ the opposite immediately answered.
"Well...There is indeed a rumor that they are humans who crossed with the natives, but whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with us, as long as there is money to make it."
"Danger? It's nonsense. It has been like this for nearly hundreds of years in contact with humans. What is the danger? And they prefer to be vegetarian. Can people like you on outlying islands not judge people by their appearance? Of course, walking. Don’t get too close to them at this time, you can easily step on them if you are not careful.
"Hike’s religion? I don’t know much. Their beliefs are very messy, but I feel that they are not very religious to the gods."
"Before, a guy accidentally smashed their idol to pieces. If this kid according to other sects does not want to come back alive, but those guys just made him lose double the money, bought a new idol, and continue. Worship every day."
As Gordon told, Charles learned a lot, and when the mystery of the Heike tribe was lifted, his guard against these big men dropped a lot.
Indeed, if you really follow Elizabeth's words, these guys are completely crazy, it is impossible to build such a neat city.
