74. Haushuf Island
When the black hull of the 'Slave Trader' rushed out of the reef and jumped into our field of vision, the sailors on the three-masted sailing ship were immediately frightened by the black earth-sea ship, and some sailors ran under the mainmast in a panic to untie the cable and raise the sails, but were kicked away by the first mate, who also had a bad face.
The first mate looked at me with a weak heart, and Caterina standing behind me, with a stiff smile on her face, looked at me flatteringly.
The sailors aboard the Slave Trader, armed with scimitars at their waists, stood neatly on the side of the ship and cheered loudly at me.
As the two ships slowly joined together on the sea, the sailors set up planks between them, cheerfully welcomed us back to the Slave Trader, and then carried all the supplies from the three-masted galleons to our ship, and then let the three-masted sailing ship go.
The sailors on the three-masted schooner did not expect that the pirates did not hijack the ship and kill people after emptying the ship's supplies, and before leaving, they asked Deborah to drop a bag of gold coins on the deck of the ship, and they all stood on the side of the ship with joy, and watched the "Slave Trader" leave quietly while talking.
Perhaps in the cognition of this group of sailors, encountering the sacking of a pirate ship, they generally experienced a lot of hardships in their lives, and the pirates not only robbed the ship's supplies, but also robbed the entire ship and the sailors on board, and the pirates believed that the ship and slaves were the symbols of wealth.
I've never seen a pirate throw gold coins on a ship after a robbery.
Although the sailors on the three-masted galleon, they felt that we were different from the other pirates, but they did not dare to communicate with the sailors of the 'Slave Trader', and they raised the sails with all their might, regardless of whether the sea breeze could send them back to Dunai Island, in short, the most important thing was to get out of this dangerous place quickly.
The 'Slave Trader' hid in the troubled reef sea, and the sailors on board were so excited that they shouted on board when they saw that Ying Li and I had returned safely...... Of course, what made them happiest was that after more than a month of silence, they finally ransacked a three-masted sailing ship again, and this beautiful feeling of unscrupulously moving things from someone else's ship cannot be replaced by gold coins, and cannot be described in words.
The sailors on the Slave Trader were all good at repairing the ship and repairing the sails, and they were familiar with every plank on the Slave Trader, and during the days of waiting, the Slave Trader ran aground in the shallows of the reef waters, and on low tide days, the bottom of the sailing ship would be held up by the sea sand, and at this time, the sailors would disembark from the ship and clean the shells that stuck to the bottom of the ship.
When I returned to the Slave Trader, I found that the ship had been renovated and looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Senior Dylan's research has recently reached a critical stage, and after a hurried meeting with me, he locked himself in the cabin again.
Seeing that Karantso and the Minotaur Ruka were not with me, the first mate on the 'Slave Trader' asked me curiously, "Captain, Boss Karantso, why didn't you come back with you?"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something, with a hint of joy on his face, and asked me, "Could it be that she is going to stay on Dunai Island, then...... Ahem!"
Before the first mate could finish speaking, the door of one of the cabins on deck was pushed open from the inside, and Karantso and Luka the Minotaur talked in a whisper, and as they stepped out, a pair of huge wings crossed over my head, and Deborah spread her huge wings and threw herself into Karantso's arms.
Karantso pushed Deborah away with a look of disgust, and then looked around the deck, and saw two sailors rummaging around the pile of supplies, one of them, with a pipe he had just snatched, and was picking and picking at the pile of supplies with a proud face, and without saying a word, he walked straight forward and stood in front of the two sailors without saying a word.
The jubilant scene on the deck seemed to freeze at this moment, the two sailors were originally shrunk in a small corner of the deck, but because of the appearance of Karantso, they suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, the two people raised their heads blankly, and found that after being watched, they immediately squeezed out a lewd smile, quietly pushed the picked trophies into the pile of supplies, and then obediently stood on the side of the wooden wall.
"Humph!"
Karantso snorted coldly and walked past the two sailors.
Looking at Karantso's back, the two sailors wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.
The 'Slave Trader' set sail for the northern waters of the Great Abyss.
......
During my stay on Dunai Island, Ying Li accompanied me to all the magic shops on the island, and we bought all the milky ink we could collect.
The magic ink in the shops on the island is actually for those adventure groups.
Many of the adventure groups are accompanied by magician members, who come to the Vaskiy plane to hunt sea beasts, sometimes the long journey can become very boring and tedious, many experienced magicians will bring some magic parchment and magic ink before going out to sea in a boat, and then lock themselves in the cabin, in addition to meditation every day, but also draw some magic scrolls, these magic scrolls in addition to their own use, can also be sold, as a stable source of income.
Magic ink is not a bestseller on Donai Island, and those magic shops on the island will store some magic ink so that we won't go home empty-handed, so finding magic shops on the island becomes a lot of fun.
Even so, the magic ink I collected on Dunai Island was still very limited.
I didn't buy magic parchment, those magic antelope leather cooked parchment paper, in terms of attributes, and these sea beast leather is far away, we came to Dunai Island this way, but also killed many sea beasts one after another, these huge sea beasts, although the magic crystal in the skull is only so big a thumb, but the leather is determined according to the size of the sea beast, so the sea beast leather we harvested, it can be said that it is piled up.
Caterina helped me cut the skins of those sea beasts into square pieces of skin, and I drew magic spells such as "frost", "ice spear", "frost nova" and "ice wall" on these leathers with water-based magic attributes, and I drew magic scrolls many times faster than ordinary magicians, and I was good at drawing magic skills.
The ship was sailing on the sea, and I was drawing magic scrolls on the ship day and night, and my magic recovery rate was about five times faster than that of a mage of the same level, and the mana continued to pour into my body, and then from me it turned into magic scrolls.
It was another sleepless night, the writing desk was full of magic scrolls, Helena yawned, skillfully tied up a magic scroll with a piece of marryn grass, and put it into the magic sealing box on the side, on one side of the writing desk, there were some sea animal skins that had failed to draw, and on the other side there were neatly stacked square sea animal skins.
The magic scroll I drew was filled with seven large sealed magic chests, and the magic ink I bought on Dunai Island was running out.
Looking at the few empty ink bottles on the desk, I couldn't help but feel some troubles in my heart.
Wake up from meditation, pat Helena, who has already seen dark circles under her eyes, and ask her to go to my bed for a nap.
Helena didn't refuse, she dragged her tired body, like a kitten that had been sleepy, holding the dry quilt, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
It was a bit stuffy in the cabin, so I placed a piece of ice in a copper basin in the corner and crept out of the room.
Caterina was at the end of the corridor of the cabin, leaning against the window, looking out.
When she saw me come out of the cabin, she smiled at me, and her charming smile made her look like a delicate red rose.
I leaned over and stood side by side with her by the window to find the Slave Trader sailing around a tidal island, and I didn't expect to find a tidal island suitable for hunting so quickly.
"Look at you, your eyes are red, why do you have to work so hard?" said Caterina as she turned to me.
I smiled and said, "I don't want to miss this sea!
Looking at the tidal island that gradually appeared in view, I smiled and said to Katarina: "I just prepared the magic scroll here, and then you found such a tidal island suitable for hunting, and the goddess luck is looking after us, this time hoping to catch some useful sea beasts......"
Caterina stroked her fiery hair and asked me, "Jiga, let me ask you a question...... There are tens of thousands of sea beasts in the sea, which one do you want to hunt the most?"
Without hesitation, I said, "Now, of course I don't have a choice, of course I really want to hunt an 'Ice Emperor Squid'." ”
Caterina asked me a little strangely, "Why it?"
I said to her, "Actually, I want to get the ink in its body!"
Caterina asked, puzzled, "What's the use of the squid's ink?"
I continued, "The ink in the body of the Ice Emperor Squid is a very precious 'Ocean Ink'!"
Caterina couldn't help but raise her voice and said to me, "That high-grade magic ink—ocean ink?"
She had been with Kig for several years, and some simple knowledge of magical herbalogy certainly did not bother her.
"Well......" I looked at the tidal island and said yes heavily.
......
The Slave Trader put me, Ruka the Minotaur, Katarina, and Karantso on the Tidal Island.
The first mate then sailed the Slave Trader away from the tidal island as I had commanded.
This was our first tidal island safari on the way back and we were well prepared.
This time I pulled out a whole team of orc warriors and ten barbarian slaves from the Valley of the Willows......
Half a day later, calm returned to the island, and the corpses of countless sea beasts frozen into ice lay on the island.
The 'Slave Trader' returned, cut off some of the precious magic materials from the sea beasts and put them into the magic sealing box, among the rich types of sea beasts, but unfortunately there was no 'Ice Emperor Squid'.
The next day, the Slave Trader left the tidal island with a large amount of magical materials, riding the sea breeze.
The second time, the third time...... It wasn't until the fourth hunt that we finally waited for an Ice Emperor Squid and successfully hunted it.
I always got a lot of high-grade 'ocean ink' from the emperor squid, and I was finally relieved.
In view of the good performance of the barbarian slaves, the number of barbarian slaves participating in the war continued to increase during these pirate hunts.
On my first island hunt, I tried to bring out ten barbarian slaves.
Later, the number of barbarians involved in the hunt grew to sixty barbarian slaves at the same time.
The tall bodies of the barbarian slaves stood in the shallow sea, with walls of ice standing beside them, they were not afraid of the cold at all, when the sea beasts attacked the island, in the continuous explosion of ice fog, free passage, the ice fog was filled, and the ice explosion technique was hidden in the ice fog and exploded, freezing those inferior sea beasts......
......
On the way back to Haushuf Island, we used the 'Rococo Flower' potion to trap sea beasts several times, and all of them were very successful.
Most of the sea beast corpses were dismembered by orc warriors and barbarian slaves, and dragged back to the Valley of the Willows, leaving only a shocking wreck on Tidal Island.
The magic materials stripped off the bodies of those sea beasts gradually filled nearly a hundred sealing boxes, and as we approached the sea abyss, the number and level of sea beasts continued to increase, in short, we gained a lot along the way.
Our Slave Traders returned to Haushuf Island and found that Noah's Shirley was also anchored in the deep waters near Haushuf Island, which had no dock for the five-masted schooners, and even Earl Evon's fleet was anchored around Haushuf Island.
Before the Slave Trader and the Shirley could merge, Noah and Shirley Newman flew onto our ship on the Magic Handle.
A few days ago, while Justus was asleep, I had the orc warriors carry him on a stretcher onto the Slave Trader.
I was worried that Justus would wake up on the way and discover the secrets of the Willow Valley, so I also performed 'hypnotism' on him.
Noah jumped off the magic cockpit and strode up to me, and we both hugged each other tightly.
I hugged Shirley.
Noah kissed the back of Ying Li's hand.
"What did you get out of this trip?" asked Noah, holding me by the hand.
I scratched my head and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Noah, originally I was on the way to Dunai Island, going to those islands one by one to persuade those lords, but most of the lords didn't say anything, they were all ready to continue to wait and see, wait for things to be clear, and decide which side to take......"
"Actually, the situation I'm in here is similar, but I'm probably a little better, and at least some lords are willing to buy my account because of my status. Noah said to me, and he patted me on the shoulder, trying to comfort me.
"I brought back a man from this trip, and I made an unexpected discovery!" I said to Noah.
I was about to tell Noah about the Pirate King's treasure and half of the treasure map, but I heard Noah's 'huh' and said to me in surprise, "What a coincidence, I also brought someone back, and I have a very important matter to discuss with you!"
