Chapter 15: The Explorers
"Thank you, I'll go when I have time. ”
As soon as Charles finished speaking, his expression immediately became a little ugly, not because of Elizabeth next to him, but because the auditory hallucinations in his mind began again.
Charles, with a distorted expression, began to tap his forehead with his wrist, and it became heavier and heavier.
Elizabeth, who was next to her, immediately noticed Charles's strange appearance, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"My goddess, how long have you not rested?"
She pulled out a green jelly-like substance from her chest and handed it over. "Eat it quickly, it can be effectively relieved. ”
Charles looked at her with some hesitation, but finally took it and swallowed it.
A coolness slid down his throat, and the murmur in his ear was still there, but the irritability dissipated.
"Thanks, what is this?" Charles looked at Elizabeth with a friendly look.
Elizabeth chuckled a few times. "You're welcome, I don't know what it is, I just know that it can relieve the whispers of the god Fordan, if you want, you can go to Redwood Island to dig some, don't eat too much, it's addictive,"
Redwood Island ...... Charles silently wrote down the new place name in his mind.
The strong man covered in tendons and flesh before had walked behind the two of them at some point, and he patted Charles on the right shoulder. "Newcomer, the whispering of the god Photan has affected so much, you should rest and rest. ”
Charles's guard was mostly removed, and although he didn't know why, he could feel the kindness of these people to him. This kind of obvious kindness, he hadn't felt for a long time.
Elizabeth next to her glanced at the staff who were still operating, pulled Charles up and walked towards the sofa next to him.
"Come with me, and I'll tell you something that most people don't know. ”
Charles wanted to refuse, but the strong man next to him put his arm around his shoulders and walked forward with him.
"Don't be shy, as the old saying goes, if you want to survive at sea, you have to make friends. ”
By the time Charles reacted, he was already pressed to the couch, and seven or eight captains in strange costumes looked at him curiously.
There was curiosity and doubt in his eyes, but there was no hostility.
Elizabeth sat next to Charles with her buttocks, and the soft ketones leaned directly on Charles,
"Don't you think we're a little welcoming? Hehe, it's dark enough on the sea, so be friendly when you go ashore. Elizabeth spoke.
"It's a bit unexpected, it's really different from what I checked from the museum. "Charles relaxed.
Hearing Charles's words, a fat man stared at him and shouted loudly.
"What do the books say about us? A bunch of legal pirates? Crazy people who want money and don't want their lives? Whoever says such things should be dragged to feed the fish!! If I become a governor in the future, everyone who says such things will cut out their tongues!!"
Elizabeth next to her glared at the fat man, changed her smile and said to Charles: "This is a gathering place for Coral Island explorers~, you can exchange information here in the future." ”
Charles knew in his heart that this was an exchange salon to explore the captains.
"What kind of information is traded?
"There are all kinds of things, islands, routes, relics, useful information can be shared, maybe you can't do it, other people have a way, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, we will answer them for you." ”
She was right, and Charles was sure he had a problem in his mind.
After pondering for a few seconds, Charles asked his own question. "Do you have any clues about the Northern Land of Light?"
Charles's question was more powerful than he had imagined, and the sound of stools rubbing against the floor rang out, and everyone distanced themselves from Charles, as if there was some plague on him.
Even Elizabeth next to her sat on the other side of the sofa, her brows furrowed. "You can't be a member of the Helios Cult, right?"
Charles chuckled dryly. "I'm not, and I don't believe in any gods. ”
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, patted her plump chest and said, "That's right, you don't look like those crazy people. ”
The tense atmosphere just now immediately eased, and everyone began to talk nonsense.
"It scares me, I don't want to deal with those crazy people. What do you do in the Land of Light?"
"If you ask about the legendary ballad, I've heard that I'll give you a paragraph, located on the northern island~ There is a ladder to the light, and the eternal light is what ~ is it? ”
"How can we possibly know about the legendary things, and we are not gods. ”
"Newcomer, you're so humorous. ”
Charles's face showed a hint of loss, he had thought that the well-informed Captain Explorer would have some clues, it seemed that the humans here had been left in the Earthsea for so long that the true homeland had become a distant legend.
While everyone was discussing, a woman at the counter walked over with a stack of books in her hand.
She said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Charles, you are now a qualified explorer, this is the proof, please take it, and I will introduce you to the content of the mission." ”
The stacks of books in her hand were opened, only to find that they were charts with dense words written on them.
"As long as any exploration mission is reported in the guild, food, fuel and other materials will be reimbursed by the guild, and the rewards are different depending on the danger level. ”
Charles took the chart and looked at it carefully.
He could see that along the edges that had been explored, the unexplored dark areas were divided into small pieces like a cake with white lines, each with the amount of reward marked on it.
To Charles's surprise, scattered islands in the unexplored waters were marked, including the Golden Statue Island, which he had visited before.
A white finger reached out from the side and pointed at the sea, and Elizabeth's sensual and magnetic voice rang in his ears. "Charles, you have just arrived, I advise you to explore the sea for a few years first, and then explore the island when you are familiar with it. ”
Although she was right, Charles didn't think so, and he pointed to the Golden Statue Island and asked, "What does this number mean?"
The island is marked with a bright red 4.
The fat man next to him interjected: "That's the danger level, the danger level of the explored islands is always 0, and the captain who explores each time can't come back, and the danger level is +1." For a level 4 island like this, don't think about it for a newcomer like you, go explore the sea for two years first. ”
Elizabeth glanced at him, put her mouth to Charles's ear and said, "Ignore him, I think you have a lot of potential, and you can explore this island in a year at most." ”
"I've been to this island. Charles's fluttering words, the surrounding voices stopped instantly, and everyone stared at the young man in front of them with wide eyes.
