Although, according to Harus, the Kosi was halfway between Hannabal and the next island when it encountered the Fanged Pirates on the third day, it was already late afternoon on the fifth day when the lookout called out "land" in an ecstatic voice...... No way, this is a great waterway after all.

In any case, the appearance of this island is too timely, because although the "imaginary enemy" has been disposed of by Xiao Ya, but at the insistence of Harus, who did not know it, all the people on the ship have always been on high alert, still ready to fight the enemy at any time, and as a result, after five days, except for a certain guy who concealed it and did not report it, the rest of the people were already rumored and on the verge of collapse, but it also made people experience the terrifying effect of the tactics of the "Fanged Pirates".

Seeing that he was finally able to get rid of the pursuit of the pirates, the personnel on the ship burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and even because the speed of entering the port was too fast, the "Kosi" almost collided with the dock, but of course this had nothing to do with Xiao Ya, he was with Harus, who was ashamed and confused, "It's so strange, the 'Fanged Pirates' didn't attack?" Where did they go? "This pirate hunter still doesn't understand what's going on.

"Whatever happens to him, we're fine now anyway," Captain Lazar walked over happily, and it seemed that he was very happy that he and the ship could dock safely, "The ship has been parked, and it will replenish some supplies here, do you need to go around the inner point island?" We're going to stop here for the night and leave tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, of course it's going down!" Xiao Ya, who had been holding back on the boat for a week, couldn't stand it anymore, and besides, he could experience the local characteristics by the way, and then, he remembered a question and asked casually, "Only stop for one night, is the recording time of this island so short?" ”

"Huh? Recording time? Lazar was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Do you mean the record pointer?" Of course it's not that kind of thing, we have the 'permanent pointer' of the 'City of Seven Waters' and don't need to stop on the islands along the way. ”

"'Permanent pointer'?" Xiao Ya originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect Lazar to tell him this answer, "Then how did you find this island?" Judging by the other party's panic when he mistakenly thought he was being followed by a pirate ship, he didn't believe that it was just luck to get here.

"We come to this island because we also have a 'permanent pointer' here," Lazar explained, "Our merchant ships have a fixed goal, so we rely on the 'permanent pointer' to determine the route, but because some islands are too long, in order to replenish supplies and respond to emergencies, we will also prepare a pointer to several islands near the route, and this is one of them." ”

"So that's the case," Xiao Ya nodded, although he had a heart network to listen to everything, but many times, if someone didn't explain it, this kind of thing similar to common sense in the industry just now would not be known, because first, no one would specifically mention it, and even if it was mentioned, it was also a word, and I couldn't understand it at all.

Xiao Ya, who landed on Neidian Island, found that this place was similar to Hannabal, or rather, a miniature version of Hannabal, although it was just as lively and noisy, but it was also full of chaos and disorder, and there were many fights, pickpocketing, and fraud, which reminded him of the experience when he first arrived in Hannabal...... However, the flavor restaurant is still quite good, but it seems that Anya's interest is not high.

"Now you're not worried about the 'Fanged Pirates'?" The next day, seeing that Harus, who was still facing the enemy at this time yesterday, was sitting on the deck drinking and blowing the sea breeze with a comfortable face, Xiao Ya asked with bad intentions.

"'Fanged Pirates'? Hehe," Harus seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed when he heard Xiao Ya's words, "Look at the way you looked before, you rarely sail at sea, right?" "Although in terms of proportion, Xiao Ya has spent most of his time at sea since arriving in this world, this still can't hide the fact that he is a rookie, and he is still a rookie to the extent that he is easy to be discovered......

"On the great waterway, pirates will attack merchant ships, but because they themselves also need to rest or relax on the shore, and supply supplies, and those prosperous and lively big islands either have their own countries and armies, or they are under the supervision of the navy and government, which is very inconvenient, so a small and inhabited place like Neidian Island is more suitable, so it often becomes a gathering place for pirates......" As before, it was still Lazar who answered Xiao Ya's question.

"So, you mean last night's Neidian Island was a pirate den!" Xiao Ya suddenly understood why Anya was a little dull last night, isn't this another Gaya Island?

"Well, yes, Neidian Island is such a place, but although the pirates are lawless at sea, in order to be able to get better services when they go ashore to rest, they rarely hurt civilians after arriving on the island, even if it is a merchant ship, in fact, it is good for them, otherwise who would dare to send supplies to the island, especially all kinds of food and wine, how can such a small island alone meet the needs, and correspondingly, the pirates will not attack the merchant ships departing from the island, because if it is not the case, The merchant ships that are not as fast as the pirate ships in terms of speed and combat power will not be able to escape at all. ”

"Then why did the 'Fanged Pirates' still follow us before?"

"We haven't been to Neidian Island before."

"Oh," Xiao Ya nodded, "that is, if the merchant ships arrive at Neidian Island, the pirates will no longer attack them?" ”

"Of course it's not that simple," Harus, who was sipping wine on the side, put down his glass and joined in, "To be exact, the pirates operating around Neidian Island will no longer attack us, and before, we only encountered the 'Fanged Pirates', and it was also because the pirates near Hannabar did not attack us, otherwise the road ahead would not be so quiet, understand?" ”

"Oh, it's like a relay race, the pirates will move on different routes, and as long as the merchant ships reach one of the islands on the route, they will be able to sail safely."

"But this is only for those pirates who operate in relatively fixed sea areas, and they are more rule-abiding guys, and there are many bastards who don't care at all, after all, they are pursuing 'freedom', how can they be controlled by any rules," At this time, Harus had already drunk most of the bottle, and he talked a lot, "In addition to them, there are many people on the sea who claim to 'complete the great course'." Become One Piece' or something, they'll always be on the seas, and they don't even have a permanent pointer, they just keep track of the pointer, so they attack whenever they come across a ship, because they don't know where they are. ”
