Chapter 36: Departure (I)

By the time Klockdahl and the girl Evie arrived at Shipwreck Island, it was almost evening, but fortunately, Shipwreck Island was to the east, and the sun was setting to the west, so the sky was still bright.

"Well, it's worthy of being called Scrap Island Island, and there are countless scrap ships and planks just to see. The entire island turned out to be a long-term accumulation of scrap ships. Looking at the scene in front of him, Klockdahl couldn't help but exclaim, "How many wrecked ships must be piled up here!"

And the girl Evie on the side, looked at Klockdahl, helped Qingsi on her face and said: "The origin of Shipwreck Island has been a long time, and Shipwreck Island has existed since I was a child. According to the city department's statisticians, no less than a few hundred scrap ships have been dumped here in the past few months alone. ”

"Well, no wonder there are so many wrecks,,," Klockdahl turned and asked the girl if she knew where Tom's studio was.

And the girl shook her head, and Klockdahl thought he didn't know. But I saw the girl Evie and said: "Tom's studio is no longer there, and it was demolished by the Navy last month." Klockdahl frowned, he had managed to get here, but he couldn't find that place. "Sir, sir, are you looking for someone from Tom's Studios?"

Hearing this, Klockdahl could only vaguely say yes, and after the girl got the affirmation, she hurriedly said, "Sir, if you are looking for someone from Tom's studio, I think Mr. Iceberg will definitely be able to help you!"

When Klockdahl heard this, he immediately turned to the girl and asked, "The Mr. Iceberg you are talking about, but you are a disciple of Tom the Fishman, a shipwright?"

"Ahh At this point, the girl Evie explained, "However, Mr. Iceberg should not be here now. ”

Well, I ran so far that I finally told myself that the target was not here. And when you come here, you can only harvest a bunch of scrap ships.

"Well, then you know where that Mr. Iceberg is?" Klockdahl asked.

"Oh, yes, maybe. Recently, though, I've seen him a lot in the civilian quarters of the Seven Waters City. The girl Evie said uncertainly. "The slum is over there, why don't we go over there and take a look!"

"Hmm!" said Klockdahl, chin his head.

When the girl heard this, she smiled and looked at Klockdahl, and this time Klockdahl reacted, and once again picked up the girl and followed the direction she pointed

With the maiden's guidance, Klockdahl soon arrives in the slum, which is actually not far from Shipwreck Island. Damp, dark, and stinky, that's the definition of a ghetto when Klockdahl sees it. And there are still so many people alive here, huh. This is also known as the "pauper". Putting down the girl Evie and motioning for her to lead the way, the girl's wind chime-like laughter rang out, and she said, "Very well, sir." Please keep up with me, or you'll get lost. Afraid that her words would be like a mockery of Klockdahl's road idiot, the girl hurriedly explained, "Because there are many lanes here, it is not easy to find, so I want my husband to follow me." ”

Klockdahl did not object, and pretended to be expressionless. The girl on the side began to lead the way after looking at the direction. Not to mention, if there is no girl Evie to lead the way. Klockdahl would never have imagined that it was a dead end, but it could be passed, and sometimes he had to climb over the wall. In the end, I finally arrived at a small courtyard.

Klockdahl didn't rush in, nonsense, he didn't know them. Besides, there is a girl who is familiar with this side by her side, and the girl also took the initiative to take the task.

"Excuse me, anyone?" asked the young girl Evie as she tapped on the door.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard finally opened. A small head peeks out from the inside, and when she sees that the person outside is the teenage girl Evie. He immediately said in a familiar tone, "Ah, it's Sister Evie, come in!" as he spoke, pushing open the door.

"Well, it's a little rupee! Sorry, I didn't bring candy this time. The girl Evie said in an apologetic tone. Just when everything was going well, suddenly another sounded, ruining the heartwarming scene in front of him.

"Ruby, are you crazy? This is a male voice, at this time, the little boy who pushed open the door.

"Ahh Reminded by the male voice, the little boy who opened the door, Ruby, also hesitated.

"But Sister Evie used to help us a lot! we, we can't do that," he said, but Ruby's tone became more and more uncertain, and the more he said it, the smaller it became, and almost no one heard the last appeal.

Another female voice rang out: "Kodo is right, go away! shrine maidens are not welcome here, Rupee closes".

A few more boys and girls came behind, but few spoke for the girl Evie, and even some agreed with Kodo's idea and refused to let the girl Evie in.

The girl Evie looked at this scene, and even smiled a little reluctantly, but she was strong and did not shed tears. That's right, everywhere you go, you're treated like a monster, and no one can stand it, let alone a young girl! In the end, even Klockdahl can't stand this atmosphere anymore, and just wants to go up and teach these little ghosts a lesson. The girl Evie hurriedly stopped her, what a kind girl who has no temper. In the end, Klockdahl simply closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to all this.

On the other side, the girl still gritted her teeth, still smiling and saying to those who refused her to enter: "Don't worry, I won't go in again." I'm here to find Mr. Iceberg this time, can you tell me where Mr. Iceberg is?"

"Hmph, shrine maiden, you look for Mr. Iceberg, we won't tell you what you want, you go!" It was the boy Kodo who refused her to enter in the first place.

Enduring the vicious words around her, the girl still said with difficulty again, "I just want to find Mr. Iceberg, can you tell me where Mr. Iceberg is?"

This time, there was surprisingly no one around to speak, and everyone was silent. Later, I don't know who secretly said: "Do you want to tell her?" ”

"Hmph, Mr. Iceberg isn't here. Mr. Iceberg came a few days ago, and he told us that he was going to Chambord with Granny Cocoro during this time. It's time to go. ”

Hearing the news, the girl Evie couldn't help but be surprised: "What, you said that Mr. Iceberg went to Chambord." ”

"Hmph, I've said I'm not here, and you're not leaving. Boy Kodo said harshly.

In the end, the little boy Rupee, who opened the door at the beginning, explained: "Mr. Iceberg said that he was going to Chambord to trade something, and only when he came back could he have the money to start a shipbuilding company." ”。

"Thank you, little Rupee. I won't bother you. The girl Evie obviously knew something, and she showed a look of sudden realization.
