"Hurry up, clean the deck!"
"All the damaged places must be repaired, so wake up, boys!"
A senior crew member yelled and waved his arms, directing the sailor to repair the damage caused by the previous competition between Allen and Regis. A sailor complained: "It was obviously the two men who made it, so why should we fix it."
"Asshole, Lord Ellen is our distinguished guest. What's more, didn't you watch the excitement very vigorously before? Then it's normal to pay a little for the viewing fee. If you are too long-winded, I will deduct your salary!"
"I was wrong!" The sailor burst into tears.
In Roger's room, a nautical chart was spread out on the table, and Allen was standing beside it. Roger pointed to a certain position on the nautical chart: "This is it. We will probably arrive at Pearl Island in the evening."
"Oh, supplies?"
Roger nodded: "This natural island is rich in pearls and is located in Violet Harbor and Ark Harbor at the same time. It's right. It's in the middle, so it's usually used as a supply station by merchant ships. Moreover, the women on this island are very enthusiastic. "
He glanced at Allen intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter smiled awkwardly. Roger gave a dry cough and said, "When we arrive on the island, we will take adults to see the unique customs of the island. We will stay here for a day, take a short rest, and then continue on the road. Then we can arrive at Ark Harbor in at least a week. Up."
"Roger husband." Jeraf suddenly pushed in and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you should come to the deck."
"what happened?"
"We found a boat following."
The three came to the deck together, and a sailor slid down from the lookout. With a single telescope pinned to his waist, he pointed to the back of the boat and said, "Husband, a boat is following us. It is fast and will catch up with us in a few minutes. I saw the flag emblem. , Is from the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce."
"Blood Shark ships are usually faster than ordinary merchant ships after modification. They may also go to Pearl Island, but just in case, let everyone enter the battle position and prepare shells in case of accidents." Roger hurriedly said.
Allen raised his eyebrows: "We can help."
"This naval battle is different from land. Master Allen can watch the battle. If there is a battle, then at the boarding stage, I will ask the adults to take action." Roger smiled.
Allen hadn't really experienced naval battles, and felt quite new. Hearing this, he didn't insist, and nodded. He called Belmod over and told him to inform the others and the soldiers to prepare to take action.
After a while, the ship of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce chased from behind. The hull of their sailboat is longer, and the hull is not as high as the paradise, giving people a light and fast feel. You can see the wood pulp sticking out from the bottom of the hull, which is rowing neatly. Allen was relieved. It turned out that their ships could not only use the wind, but also use human power to accelerate, no wonder it was much faster than the Paradise.
On the hull deck of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce, Allen saw the old man who had met at the dock that day. He also looked over and gave Alan a dark smile. Suddenly someone on the opposite ship uttered an exclamation, and a heavy whaling bowstring on the bow of the ship shook and shot a dark whaling fork towards the Paradise.
Roger's face changed.
The whaling fork is not light in weight, just listen to its whistling through the air to know how powerful it is. Not to mention the wooden hull of a sailboat, even the iron plate has a hole in it. Just as Geraf was about to cut, Allen had already drawn a flickering light by referring to the knife. Although this flame flash was not more powerful than Qianjun's use, it also flashed twice, passing the whaling fork and cutting it in the center.
The whaling fork was suddenly cut open while it was moving at high speed. There was still a burst of hot red light flowing through the cuts on both sides, but the fork exploded in the air and flew over the left and right sides of the paradise. A fragment shot through the sail. Then fell into the sea behind, blowing up a small group of waves.
Fortunately, no one was injured.
The old man on the boat over there saw Alan cut off the whaling fork lightly, his smile stiffened, and then raised his voice: "I'm very sorry, our tools are probably broken. Didn't you scare you?"
"We are not so timid yet, but if your tools are more broken, I will be happier." Alan's bright red pupils clearly reflected the figure of the old man: "Because in that case, probably It seems logical to drop your boat!"
After all, Allen left the deck.
The old man of the blood shark was silent until Roger coughed dryly: "Husband Thrall, please be careful next time."
The old man snorted, suddenly raised his foot and kicked a sailor next to him, and roared, "Look what you all did!"
Then he got into the cabin.
The sailor who was unlucky enough to be under the steps could only check the so-called broken whaling crossbow with grief. After the small episode, the blood shark's ship quickly passed the Paradise, and gradually disappeared from Roger's sight.
"Mend the canvas and give me work harder. When you arrive at Pearl Island in the evening, you can rest." Roger said.
After the two ships left the sea, the waves sent quietly, but a small head emerged from the sea. A pair of sea-blue eyes looked in the direction where the two ships were leaving, and after staring like this for a while, they sank into the sea again. At this time, a shark-like dorsal fin protruded out of the sea, and then dived into the water, completely missing.
This sea area has returned to calm again.
Pearl Island, located in the waters of St. Telina, is located in the center between Violet Harbor and Ark Harbor. This special geographical location makes this island favored by merchant ships. The island has become a necessary supply point for the caravan, which has also brought business opportunities to the island itself. Gradually, people on land have moved to settle on the island and started business in pearls and other industries, making this originally very quiet small The island gradually became lively.
In the evening, the Paradise sailed into the port of Pearl Island. After allen and the others sailed at sea for nearly a week, they finally had the opportunity to contact land again. Among them, the happiest one is Willick. It turns out that no matter how powerful people are, they have unknown weaknesses. For example, Willick, who would have thought that as brave as him, would have the weakness of seasickness. After the Paradise sailed for a week, Willick was dizzy for seven days.
It is rare to get off the boat today, and after being down to earth, Willick finally regained his energy.
Roger and Allen disembarked together, and after stepping on the ground, the slave merchant glanced at the port and whispered.
"What's wrong, Roger husband?"
"It's nothing, it's a bit strange to see the blood shark ship. Don't these guys plan to supply supplies at Pearl Harbor?". Roger shook his head.
Allen glanced at the ships moored in the harbor, and did not see the ships of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce. Logically speaking, they should arrive at Pearl Island in advance. Roger coughed slightly and said, "Ignore them, it would be better for those annoying guys not to settle in Pearl Island."
"Master Ellen, Pearl Island has another nickname. People also call it the island of hot springs. Because there are many hot springs here, after dinner, I will take you to see it. Let me call you a few more passionate and beautiful. The island women, they are the daughters of the sea, they are both enthusiastic and open. I think they will leave you with a good memory." Roger laughed.
Allen said with a dry smile, "I agree with the hot springs. As for women, Roger's husband should enjoy it by himself."
"Why? Oh, I remember. I heard that there are two young and beautiful girls next to Lord Ellen. If it is because of this, I can understand." Roger gave an expression of "I understand".
Allen didn't want to explain more, so the group left the dock with a smile. The area of Pearl Island is not large, and the permanent population is about one to two hundred. There is no city on the island, only a fishing village. After Pearl Island became lively, the fishing village has also undergone many expansions. Now there are several hotels, two bars, and several hot spring baths in the village.
During the pearl harvest season, a large number of merchants who purchase pearls will come to the island. At that time, Pearl Island is the busiest time. It seems quieter now, but there are also two or three merchant ships supplying supplies on Pearl Island, so the village is also very lively. Roger was familiar with driving, and led Allen and others into a hotel in the village with his own hot spring bathhouse. As for the sailor and Allen’s soldiers, naturally they stayed in the boat for the night. After all, there are not so many hotels on Pearl Island to provide them. use.
After an all-seafood dinner, Roger took Allen to the hot spring. Presumably Roger was already a regular guest of this hotel, so the hotel owner specially opened an open-air bath for the two of them. Soaking in the spring water at just the right temperature, Allen felt comfortable and couldn't help asking: "Why does this island have hot springs?"
"Because there is a dormant volcano under Pearl Island~EbookFREE.me~ In fact, there are three volcanoes like this in the sea of St. Telina. They are collectively called the three pillars of the of fire, in the empire There is an interesting legend. It is said that when the three pillars of Vulcan erupt at the same time, St. Telina will become a real sea of fire. The wrath of Vulcan will turn into a billowing magma, and they will cross the sea and flood into the empire. At that time, it was the end of the empire."
Roger shrugged: "However, these three live mountains are in the dormant period. Some scholars predict that for at least two hundred years, no traces of active volcanoes will be seen, let alone three eruptions at the same time. So, this The legend is probably made up by those boring people."
"I hope such things don't happen." Allen said.
"Yes, after all, if such a disaster really happens. The first thing that will suffer is a port city like our Violet Harbor."
At this time, the woman's chuckle sounded outside the bath. Then the door of the bath room was opened, and several young women with dark skin but with bodies walked in. One person blinked at Roger and said, "So you are here, Roger husband."
