CH.41 Starfish Island
The dragon pirate group was still on their way to Starfish Island, unaware that a cloud of gloom had been crushed.
The busiest person these days is Seba Stephen, who spends his days treating the pirates' wounds, removing and retying up the poorly used bandages. He also rescued two dying pirates and was unanimously loved by the pirates.
However, the elven ship doctor had a cold attitude towards the pirates, and he was just doing his job.
Cliff, the helmsman, sailed at a leisurely pace every day, for he was born with a bold name, and quickly became one with the pirates, and he drank so well that even after drinking two bottles of rum, he could still steer steadily.
The eight brothers of the spit frog live a life of eating and waiting for death every day, and occasionally bully and bully the troublemakers. Now, it's more appropriate for the trickster to be renamed the unlucky guy.
One-Eye is still on the Lucky, and the two ships can only communicate in flag language every day, and only take the gangway when there is an emergency.
Donk explains to One-Eye that the new crew members are all summoned, which is a half-truth.
However, One-Eye can't understand such a thing as the game system, and he is easy to accept when it is explained by the reason for summoning. He was also very happy to see that these new crew members had two hits, and the growth of the dragon pirate group meant that he was one step closer to his goal of revenge.
The sea breeze was a little frantic today, and Donk stood in the captain's cabin, holding a wine glass in his hand, watching the waves roll as he sipped. The ship was shaking, but he was used to it, it was like flat ground to him.
There were only three knocks on the door, neither lightly nor heavily, unlike the pirates who liked to slam the door hard.
"Come in." Donk said.
Seba Stephen opened the door and entered, still in the same gentleman's attire, with a monocle on his nose and a chain of glasses hanging from one side of his long ear.
"Good afternoon, Captain." The ship's doctor greeted.
Donk said straight to the point: "Say, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
Seba Stephen pondered his words for a moment before replying, "I'd like to ask about memory." There are a lot of people on this ship who have lost their memories, including me. Isn't it strange that we all think you're the captain? ”
"It's weird." Donk poured Seba Stephen a glass of wine as well.
Seba Stephen took the glass, but didn't drink it, and reminded, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”
Donk was really embarrassed, the ship doctor was thoughtful and intelligent, not as easy to fool as the sailors. As long as the sailors are paid enough, they will be very happy, and if they have rum, they can get drunk and relieve their sorrows.
"Your name is ...... Seba ...... What's going on? ”
"Seba Stephen."
Unable to remember the name of the captain of the ship, Donk nodded solemnly and said, "Seba Stephen, I can tell you the truth, but you are not allowed to tell the other sailors, because it will inevitably have an effect." ”
"I promise you. Please, Captain. ”
"Actually, you were summoned by me, and your memories are not stuck on the sea? It was at that moment that he was called. I'm a summoner. "Donk made his debut in full.
The answer is outrageous, but it is true, and only this answer can be seamlessly embedded in the maze.
That is to say...... I don't have a past, do I? Don't have a family either? Seba Stephen felt as if he had been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer, his slender and beautiful hands trembled, and the wine spilled.
"Yes, no."
"Then what's the point of my existence? Who am I? Seba Stephen asked in a gaffe.
"I advise you not to think about it, for as far as I know, there are two ways to think about it. One is to have an epiphany and become a god after thinking about it, and the other is to go crazy without thinking about it. The latter is the majority. When Tang Ke answered this question, he remembered Buddha, Ouyang Feng, and Ji Wusheng.
Seba Stephen's face was cloudy, and he took a sip of his glass, a wisp of wine running down his rosy lips and into his collar.
"Actually, no past doesn't mean no future." Donk smiled, "Don't you see the other people on the ship are having a good time?" ”
Seba Stephen shook his head and said, "I'm not like them. ”
Donk pouted, "I just hate that you're pretentious." ”
Seba Stephen didn't argue with Bai, he also hated Donk, and this attitude was written on both of their faces.
Donk took the time to take a look at the other party's loyalty, and found that it had dropped to 50, and it was not certain whether he would be able to keep this ship doctor in the future. He asked, "Seba Stephen, do you like to be a pirate?" ”
"I don't like it." The ship's doctor replied crisply.
Donk looked at the ship's doctor dissatisfied.
"Farewell." The ship's doctor put down his glass and drifted away, but before he closed the door, he dropped another sentence, "But I like to be a doctor, and there are indeed many patients here who need me." Although they were sinful souls, the Lord never said anything about abandoning them. ”
"The other thing I hate about you is beating around the bush." Donk muttered.
……
The Black Pearl sails steadily, surrounded by the boundless sea, which always gives the illusion that it will never be able to reach the shore.
Hualu stood on the lookout and looked around with a telescope every few moments, meticulous about the job. Because of her good eyesight, she has been acting as a lookout these days, helping everyone avoid coral reefs and storms.
This time, she saw a microcosm of land in her binoculars, and her heart moved, and a sense of homesickness came to her, and she prayed that this was Starfish Island.
The Black Pearl rode the wind and waves, and the distance between it and the island became closer and closer, and the appearance of the island became clearer and clearer.
"It's Starfish Island! It's really Starfish Island! Dew shouted happily, jumping and jumping on the lookout. She told the people on board the good news.
The pirates looked in the direction of the island, but they couldn't see anything, and the ship was much closer, so that a foggy silhouette could be seen.
Continuous sailing was hard work, especially for sailors with modest accommodation. The captain was able to stay in a single room and a bed. But the sailors were different, they all had to sleep in sleeping bags woven with rope, hanging like cocoons on the upper deck.
One can imagine the sight of dozens of strong men sleeping in one space. Together, they had to endure the crowding and smell of the cabin. Therefore, the pirates will especially cherish the time to rest on the shore.
Hearing the noise outside, Donk also came out, looking at the island that was gradually becoming clear with interest.
Starfish Island is named after the shape of the island, which is pentagonal and looks like a starfish. The island looks quite large, but on the map, it's the size of a pinhead.
"Ding! You have arrived at an island and obtained basic information about the island. ”

Donk glanced at the information on the island, it was really shabby, the data was a lot behind Port Carlin, and it felt like an indigenous tribe. The main purpose of his visit this time was to deliver medicine and distribute some of the looted medicine to the islanders.
Donk did a rare good deed this time, mainly because Hualu pleaded bitterly, and it was inconvenient for him to refuse, in Taoist parlance, this is called righteousness.
At this time, someone noticed that there was smoke rising from the island, and there was a flickering fire below.
Hua Lu was so shocked that Hua Lu covered her mouth and said, "Do you mean...... It's daddy in ......."
Donk asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be a rebellion? Or did someone attack the island? ”
Seba Stephen interjected, "You mentioned that there was a plague epidemic on this island, and you must have been burning the bodies of the dead. ”
Tang Ke was slightly moved after hearing this, glanced at Hualu, and found that Hualu had already cried, and he patted Hualu's back to appease.
Two ships anchored, one of the pirates remained behind, and the rest went down to the island. Seba Stephen puts on a mask and strongly recommends that Donk do the same.
Others followed suit, but because they didn't have masks, they had to cover their mouths and noses with white canvas strips.
