34. Red leaf margin
The great ships sailed at sea for several more days, during which time several more ships joined their great ships and formed a mighty fleet.
In his boring time, he became acquainted with the bearded Duranque and also liked to listen to his stories when he had nothing to do.
"We're the most powerful pirates in the shallow seas, and we've never seen any strong winds and waves!" said the bearded Duranque with a crimson face, a sign of years of exposure to the sea.
At this time, he was holding a pot of thorn fruit wine and talking to Azhan about his romantic deeds at sea.
"I think back then, when we were at sea, no one's merchant ships were intercepted! Hehehe, these stupid people still have to pay us tribute every month. Duranque grinned, took a sip of high cider and sighed. "Actually, we don't do anything that hurts nature, we just don't have to worry about food and clothing, right? ”
Ah Zhan nodded hurriedly, which she agreed with very much.
In the past, the word pirate symbolized killing and cruelty, but after meeting Duranck, he realized that they were just like ordinary people.
"These are our ships, how about hehehe, we have been at sea all our lives, and I'm afraid I'm not used to it on land haha. Duranque pointed to the ships that had joined him later.
Ah Chan also noticed that these ships were a little different from ordinary merchant ships, they were a little smaller, but they looked very sturdy and much faster.
"Duranke, have you been to many places?" said Arman, who lay on the deck and watched the pirates on the pirate ship dance on deck, then turned to Duranke.
"Of course, there's no place in the shallow waters that we haven't been!" replied Duranque proudly.
"That'...... Tell us the story of Red Hill City. Ah Xuan said to Duranque with a pair of large, shining eyes.
Red Hill is a small hill town on the southern edge of Mozark, about a dozen days southwest from Tasroli.
In autumn, when the leaves of the sea trees turn fiery red, Red Hill Castle comes alive.
The red leaves that spread all over the mountains stained the whole city in a fiery red, and from a distance it looked like a red mountain.
This is also the origin of the name of Red Hill City.
"The most famous in Red Hill City, apart from the twin trees, is actually a temple on the top of the mountain. Duranque lay on the deck and reminisced.
"What's in the temple?" said Aaron with a wink.
In Mozark, all cities will have churches dedicated to the faith of all mankind - the Lord of the Sea.
But temple-centric cities are really rare.
"An ancient god. It is said that the god of the ancients existed before the birth of the sea lord. It is said that this god blessed the birth of the creator god, and after the birth of the creator god, the name of this god was written in the god book of this world at the time of creation, and he was named a god of love and protection. Duranque said.
"Wow...... That's amazing. Ah Xuan sighed. "That's why that temple is famous?"
"yes, we don't know the rest. However, the fools who go to sea all year round go to that temple every year to worship, and if they are lucky enough to receive the blessing of their master, it will be blessed that no disaster will befall him for a year. There was dissatisfaction in Duranke's tone. "But we don't believe that. ”
Ah Zhan and Wu Yan, you look at me, I look at you, and finally laughed.
"Sounds interesting. Ah Zhan sighed.
After another ten days or so at sea, the fleet finally reached the port of Red Hill City.
At this time, the port of Hongshan City is very lively, and ships of different sizes gather here, forming a beautiful scenery.
Ah Zhan took Wu Yan's hand and stood outside the city and looked up, Hongshan City looked really red and gorgeous, as if it was burning.
"It's so beautiful...... Ah Yan couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and Wu Yan echoed beside her.
Tang Songluo followed behind the two girls, he stretched out his hand and touched Ah Zhan's head and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
Since Red Hill Castle is a mountain town, all roads hover over the mountain. It is for this reason that the two places, which originally seemed not very far, actually took a long walk to reach.
As a girl, Ah Zhan was the first to feel powerless.
She sat on the stone on the side of the road and said nothing and refused to take a step, Wu Yan was also very tired, so she simply lay on Ah Zhan's lap and dozed off.
Tang Songluo looked at Ah Zhan and then at the mountain road, so he had to sigh: "This way, Duranke, you go slowly, I'll wait for you above." ”
Without waiting for Duranke to refuse, Tang Songluo took Tang Qiong and the two of them and continued to walk towards the mountain.
Ah Zhan looked at Duranke's depressed face and could only look at him innocently, and asked, "Why do you look so sad?"
"We want to go to see that temple too! we won't be able to catch up with you useless girl if we're late!" Duranque's tone was rather dissatisfied, and even his beard shook a little.
"Oh, don't you believe it?" said Arry, narrowing her eyes.
"Well, then we don't want to come and see it once!" cried Duranque.
Ah Zhan looked at Du Langke, who was complaining, and laughed softly, she pushed Wu Yan on her lap, and then said, "Du Langke, you are a good person, you will naturally live a hundred years old, you don't need this kind of thing." ”
After saying this, Ah Zhan jumped up from the stone and said, "Let's go, maybe we can catch up." ”
Duranque was very impressed by Ah Yan's words, and he felt that he should not have anything to do with these girls, so the three of them continued to climb the mountain road at half the speed of a turtle.
Still, by the time the three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already evening.
Not to mention that the Hongshan Temple has been closed, even the leaves on the twin trees have been cleaned.
Ah Yan looked at the bare branches, and felt infinite chagrin in her heart.
"It's still late!" said Aryan and Duranque sighed at the same time, then looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan, do you see?" Suddenly, Wu Yan tugged at Ah Zhan's sleeve and pointed to her.
Looking in the direction of Wu Yan's finger, Ah Zhan saw that on an extremely tall branch, red leaves the size of copper coins were still crumbling in the wind.
"That's ...... Twins!" Ah Xuan was pleasantly surprised, she used the tree-climbing skills she learned on Moonlight Island, and climbed the not very tall twin trees with three strikes and five divided by two. Under the tree, Durang and Wu Yan were dumbfounded.
Ah Yan finally plucked the two leaves and held them tightly in his hands.
Do you want to give it to Tang Songluo? Ah Zhan felt that his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately abandoned his previous chagrin, but on the contrary, he felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Just as Ah Chan felt rejoicing, a male voice with surprise and anger sounded from under the tree.
"Ah, what are you doing?!"
