Chapter 225: The Legend of the Sky Island

Magic Valley Town.

Crash!

The screeching sound of shattering glass suddenly sounded in the street, and pedestrians looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see a tall, muscular man curled up and breaking out of the window of the roadside tavern with the two of them breaking glass.

The two injured people who were pushed in front of them were pressed to the ground after breaking out of the window, and the man who injured them was nearly two meters tall, and he was burly, and his weight seemed to be not light, but at this time, he knelt directly and put his knees on the two of them, so that the center of gravity of the whole body was pressed up, so that the glass fragments pierced directly into the bodies of the two injured people, making them scream repeatedly.

This cruel burly man, with a thick beard, has a pair of white eyes, which makes his eyes look cold and ruthless, and above the thick lips, there is a nose with a curved like an eagle's beak, which is very distinctive.

This person is the special talent introduced by William's army after the reform, Crick.

In the original book, this powerful and cunning pirate captain was originally a kingdom criminal, but later escaped from prison and evaded the navy's rudimentary censorship system to become a naval soldier, but killed the commander and seized the ship, thus becoming a pirate.

It's just that his fate took a turn after William's career, but as a criminal of the kingdom, he did not bother to blend into the naval system, but easily took advantage of William's army reform to become a member of the Navia King National Army, and then became a cadre because of his outstanding performance.

Crick is an ambitious man, but good at forbearance, after he joined the militia, he gradually saw how huge William's forces in the East China Sea, so he gave up the idea of hiding from the limelight here at the beginning and leaving in the short term, and instead planned to stay under William's banner for a long time, not only to observe and learn William's words and deeds and his system, but also to improve his personal strength through internal information.

Crick reached out and touched the small wound on his cheek that was cut by the glass, stretched out his fingers stained with a little blood to Sanbai's eyes and looked at it, and then he stuck the necks of the two pirates who couldn't stop struggling under him, only to hear a crisp sound of "click" that made the scalp tingle, and a stream of blood foamed from the mouths of the two pirates, and when their heads were tilted, they lost their breath, and they were actually crushed by his bare hands with his great strength.

Crick smiled disdainfully, got up from the two corpses, and returned to the tavern.

Inside the tavern, it was quiet at this time.

Edmund pulled a knife from the corpse, and Harden fumbled in the corpse's pockets and pulled out a couple of wallets.

He tossed his blood-stained wallet to the owner behind the bar, then sat down on the empty chair next to him and grinned, "The best wine in your shop, the rest of the money is compensation." ”

The tavern owner didn't know how long he had lived in Magic Valley Town, but he was also well-informed, and he quickly ordered some money, and quickly called someone to help pour the wine, and ordered a few people to clean up the corpse.

The boss doesn't care if the money has just been taken from the dead man, this is Magic Valley Town, and the rich one is the uncle, as for where the money comes from, it is the least important thing for the people here.

"It's our first time on the Great Voyage, and we want to know where we can get a permanent pointer to the island." Chloe asked as she brushed her hair, which had become a little messy from the fight, and waited for the boss to finish the drink.

The boss said, "If you have a permanent pointer, I have it here, and I can sell it to you." ”

Seeing that one of the purposes of his group had been easily accomplished, Chloe was in a good mood, and thinking of the strange thing that had happened on his ship, he continued to ask, "Boss, have you heard of any cases where the recording pointer went wrong?" ”

"Something went wrong?" The boss looked confused at first, and then seemed to think of something, "You mean the record pointer points to the sky?" ”

Chloe nodded yes.

The climate of the great route is changeable, the terrain is strange, here, the magnetic field, ocean currents, air direction, etc. are almost all chaotic, it is difficult to find the law, and it is different from the other four seas, and it can even be said that it is very different.

Ordinary navigation tools such as compasses and compasses that are common all over the world will become waste when they arrive here.

In this case, there are only two things that can be trusted when sailing in the sea, apart from the experience and ability of the navigator himself—a record pointer and a permanent pointer.

The so-called permanent pointer is a compass that permanently records the magnetic field of a small island, and it can point out the direction of the target island for the crew in the vast sea where the direction is not clear.

The so-called recording pointer is a compass that can change the recorded magnetic field, and the islands in the first half of the Great Route, from the entrance to the Chambord Islands in the middle section, are divided into seven different routes according to the phenomenon of magnetic fields attracting each other.

After choosing an island at the entrance of the Great Route, landing on the island with a recording pointer, depending on the island, after staying on it for a while, the recording pointer will record the magnetic field of the island and point to the direction of the next destination island in the line to which the island belongs, and so on, until the Chambord Islands.

This kind of recording pointer is a special product of the great route, and it is a relatively difficult tool to obtain in the outside world, but William's power in the East China Sea is getting bigger and bigger, and he is not the kind of person who is careless, and it is impossible for his subordinates to enter the great route, so he is worried about finding the record pointer, and before the expedition enters the great route, he has already asked people to prepare the record pointer.

In addition to the daily use, there are even a few record pointers for the expedition of the Kingdom of Navia.

It's just that now Chloe and the others have found that their pointer has always pointed to the sky, and Selkirk doesn't know the reason for this, because when he came to the Great Voyage before, he didn't choose the magnetic field line at this time.

It is worth mentioning that the construction of the record pointer of the great route is not like an ordinary compass, it is not a plane, but a spherical shape, and a pointer is hung in the middle, which can point to the surrounding directions such as south, east, west, and north, and can also point up and down.

Considering such a strange phenomenon, and the special construction of the recording pointer that is different from ordinary compasses, Selkirk couldn't help but think of some legends he had heard on the Great Voyage, so he asked, "Is it because of the empty islands near here?" ”

The tavern owner was stunned when he heard this.

Burst!

On the wine table not far from the group, a pirate who overheard their conversation couldn't help but snicker, although he quickly stopped and pretended to look at other places as if nothing happened, which still made Harden and the others who turned their heads when they heard the sound frown.

On the surrounding wine tables, the expressions of the people who heard Selkirk's words just now were also quite wonderful, and they seemed to think it was very funny, and many of them even had some mockery on their faces.
