Chapter 1920: Elephant Island (Ⅰ)

Miss Paladin was more thoughtful and asked Hailar carefully: "Are there any indigenous barbarians or dangerous monsters on the island? If we all go ashore, only five sailors will be left on the boat, in case the indigenous people come to looting by chance, Isn't it dangerous?"
Hailar couldn't help laughing after hearing her concerns.
"There are aboriginal people on Elephant Island. They are not many, and there are less than five hundred people in total, and they are not the savage cannibals you are worried about."
"The inhabitants of the island are said to have the ancestry of the beasts, with elephant heads, stature and strength similar to those of ogres, which is commonly known as the'elephant human race'. This is why the island gets its name."
"Ah? The descendants of the lycanthrope, as strong as the ogre, sound weirdly scary, don't you even say you can't be savage?" Audrey was dubious.
"Sister, this is how weird you are rare." Holden never missed the opportunity to taunt his sister. "The lycanthrope is not only a brutal and bloodthirsty werewolf, but also has a gentle and kind subcategory, such as'Pandamen', we all know Elephants are herbivores. Elephant people are not too cruel. Qiao Ann, is that true?"
Qiao An nodded and explained further: "It is true that as Holden said, the lycanthropes corresponding to herbivores and omnivores are not as aggressive as the carnivorous lycanthropes represented by werewolves. I have never seen a living elephant, but according to the literature, the animalized bloodline of this creature has been severely degraded, and its spirit is basically unaffected by moon phase changes, and it can no longer become elephants or giants like their ancestors. It can only maintain the form of the elephant head, which mainly feeds on fruits, cassava, fish and shrimp. There is no record of cannibalism so far."
"Qiao An is talking about book records, but I personally did business with elephants on the island. From my observation, most elephants are honest, friendly and hospitable, but don't irritate elephants. , Otherwise these tall and strong humanoid monsters will be transformed into "berserkers" and become more ferocious and combative than ogres!"
Hailar made supplements based on his own personal experience.
"In order to avoid conflicts with the elephants, I want to tell you about the local customs and traditions before going to the island to avoid misunderstandings due to cultural barriers."
The most important qualities of the "Xiangren" people are family affection, honesty and equality. They call their tribe a ‘community’, which is actually a big family, where grandparents and grandchildren live together for generations. "
"The average life expectancy of elephants is twice that of our human beings. The leader of the tribe is usually the oldest grandmother in the tribe. It is strictly monogamous and has no social hierarchy. All residents on the island are equal. They support the elderly. And taking care of children is the obligation of all adult elephants."
"Male elephant men are responsible for hunting and defending their homes. Female elephant men gather fruits and sew clothes, and occasionally sell island specialties to tourists in exchange for goods that cannot be produced locally."
"We are going to the island this time. In addition to collecting fresh water, we also want to do business with the elephant. It is okay to bargain, but we must not use shoddy goods or resort to fraud."
"The elephant people hate lies. If you find that you have deceived them, your words will not count, and you will never deal with you again." Hailar emphasized solemnly.
Sister Qiao and Zion followed her onto the trestle bridge, and after meeting with Captain Odysseus and his party, they left the dock along a gravel-paved avenue and walked towards the depths of the island.
After arriving on the island, Qiao An immediately felt a damp and warm air current blowing towards him, and the white heat was faintly rising in the valley and forest in the distance. He asked the fat cook who was on his way with a big leather pocket on his back. : "Mr. Sinbad, are there hot springs on this island?"
"Yes! Xiangren Island is actually an island formed by the eruption of a submarine volcano. The island is full of hot springs. It is clearly located in the north, but the climate is warm and humid like subtropical. It is an extremely rare lemon and pepper producing area in the northern coastal area. Going to the island, I just want to buy some lemons and peppers by the way. Keep the lemons and eat them. Peppers are too expensive. The kitchen leaves some to make seasonings, and most of them have to be sold." The fat cook said regretfully.
"The peppers we picked on Elephant Island were dried and shipped to New Avalon for sale. If the journey went smoothly, at least three times the profit could be obtained." Hailar said with a smile.
"Since everyone knows that the spice of pepper is a hot commodity in the market, then all the funds should be used to sell pepper. Why should I buy any lemon? The fruit I hate the most is lemon. Sour away!" Holden grinned, his expression as if he had just eaten a lemon raw.
When Qiao An heard the word lemon, he couldn't help his teeth become sour, and his tongue became fluid. His favorite fruit is watermelon. He has no interest in lemons, but from the standpoint of a scholar, he still has to say something fair for lemons.
"Ocean voyage food is monotonous, fresh vegetables and fruits are especially scarce. This eating habit can easily cause people to suffer from scurvy. Lemon is one of the very few fruits that can be stored and can resist scurvy. For the sake of your own health Everyone should eat more lemons on the boat."
"Master Master is right! In fact, the taste of lemon depends mainly on the cooking technique. Looking back, I made a pot of lemon honey tea. After tasting it, Mr. Poet will definitely change his impression of lemon!" Sinbad said confidently .
"Lemon honey tea... sounds delicious!" Holden swallowed, "Mr. Sinbad, obviously I am as old as Qiao An, why do you call him "Master"?"
"Uh, because Dr. Vader is a mage." The fat cook scratched his head awkwardly.
"Navigation Master is one of the most respected positions by seafarers, so the habitual honorific name is Master Master, which has little to do with the actual age."
Hailar explained for Sinbad, and then added with a smile: "On the ship, there is another job that is as respected as the navigator is the ship doctor, little gangster, you and Audrey can both cast medical spells, if If you want, the crew can also call you'Master'."
"Forget it, I still think'Mr. Poet' sounds more pleasant to the ear than'Master Ship Doctor'." Holden shook his head angrily.
"I'm a female, and I can't call it "Master"... Is it "Mrs."? Emmm... It seems to be quite emotional!"
Audrey muttered to herself, and suddenly laughed in contentment.
Qiao An glanced at her, wondering how the princess laughed like a silly girl?
But there is one thing to say, Audrey is quite cute!
