Chapter Forty-Seven: The Anchor Bar
Knonari took out a few books that had been prepared, they were old books, the red covers were all worn out and the paper was sallow.
Charles took it and opened it, and found that the book was full of all kinds of unfamiliar characters written in scarlet thick pen, a bit like cuneiform script, but the drawings were glued to each other, and there were some stick figures of magic circles and monsters drawn next to the words.
Although I can't read it, judging from the arrangement structure, these books seem to record something.
"Could it be the little man's magic book summoning the Paper Man?" the thought came to Charles's mind and couldn't get rid of it.
If this is true, then this thing is much more valuable than gold or something, and once that special ability is learned, the narwhal's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.
Charles thought for a moment and returned the books to Knona.
"Keep these books for now, go to Sodom for clues, and if anyone translates them, they can find someone to learn from them. ”
"Good!"
"So be it. Charles sat up from the bed, picked up the coat next to him and draped it over himself.
James' eyes widened, and he quickly asked nervously, "Captain, what are you going to do?"
"Did I bring you to Sodom for a tourist? ”
James, who was panicking, hurriedly spread his hands and stopped Charles. "No, your injuries are not healed, and you can't go to the ground. ”
Lily next to her caused the rats to rush up and try to press Charles on the bed. Others have also discouraged it.
Charles even said that his body was fine, and it didn't hurt at all, but no one listened to him at all.
The persuasion of the crew upset Charles, and the murmur in his ears sounded again, and the crew in front of him slowly deformed into various monsters.
"Enough!!!" Charles let out a low roar that shook everyone away, and the rats on him shrank down.
Charles pulled a spare piece of gel out of his shirt and shoved it into his mouth, and everything around him began to return to its original state.
"First mate, go buy fresh water, food, and fuel. The second mate and Odrik will come out with me, and the others will go back to the ship!"
Charles took out the identity of the captain, and everyone did not dare to disobey it, and immediately did as he wanted.
Looking at their distant backs, Charles sighed, he knew that the crew was for their own good, but they couldn't understand their current mood.
The clue to go home was in front of him, every second was torment for him, and he really didn't want to wait any longer.
After walking out of the doctor's messy room, he found a lively street outside.
Human creativity is powerful, and although everything around it comes from ships, it is hard to use these hulls and decks to form a street, and the large and small gas and oil lamps illuminate this place with a ghost city feeling.
Pirates in all costumes walked back and forth, each with a wariness in their eyes and a hint of tension in the air.
Charles walked to the front and asked the second officer behind him, "Where did you get the doctor?"
"When we first arrived in Sodom, you were almost out of breath, but the fellows at the port told us that there was a very good doctor here. So we'll take you there. ”
After thinking for a moment, Charles looked up at him and said, "You go and look around, I want to know his general information, and see if his foundation is clean." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this. The second mate quickly left.
"What about me, Captain?" asked Odrick next to him.
"Haven't you been here before? ”
Aldrik nodded, and the cloak on his body turned into a bat and flew into the air.
After seeing the bat in the air and simply identifying the direction, it flew straight to the east, and Charles hurriedly followed.
Outside the street, there is an abandoned yard of boats of all sizes, and there is no place to stay.
Watching Odrik fade away in the air, Charles put his mask on his face and jumped quickly between the various rusty ships like a gymnast.
Following Odrik all the way, Charles saw the life of Sodom, who lived up to its name, Sin City, not to mention all kinds of stolen goods, even all kinds of ragged men and women were sold on the street.
In the darkness where the lights do not shine, the worst of humanity occurs from time to time, and the notorious port district is a model community compared to this.
By the time Charles had run half of Sodom, the bat finally stopped in front of a neon-lit bar.
Charles, who was sweating a little on his head, just stood still, reached into his clothes with his hand and touched it, and found that his wound was indeed beginning to bleed.
The clue to go home was in front of him, and Charles couldn't care so much, so he walked straight in with Odrick.
As soon as I entered the bar, the dim environment was lit up, and the electric lights used in it were not even popular on Coral Island.
Several sexy women, dressed in almost sheer tulle, stood on the bar and danced to the music. The center of the ballroom was full of people and loud sounds, saying that it was a bar, and Charles felt that it was more like a nightclub.
Weaving his way through the crowd, Charles made his way to the edge of the bar. A bartender with heavy makeup tattooed on her face leaned in. "Little handsome guy, what to drink?"
"The fur seals introduced me and I asked about something. Charles leaned his elbows on the bar.
The Skeleton Woman didn't stop in her hands, adjusting the cocktail with both hands. "The fur seals also have to collect money for their introductions. 5000 echoes once. ”
"No problem, do you know where the sun is in Sodom?" Charles's heart beat a little.
"Sunshine? What is that, I've never heard of it. ”
Charles's heart sank, he thought of something, turned to Odrik beside him, and said, "Draw that box of sunlight." ”
Odrick nodded quickly, quickly took out the pen and paper, he drew quickly, and it didn't take long for a lifelike small box with six mirrors to appear on the paper.
While Odrick was still adding some details, the bartender pulled the paper over.
"Ah~ You originally wanted this thing, then I know, a weapon that can restrain dark monsters, but in our case, we don't call it sunshine, call them mirror boxes. Why is it called Sunshine? Who gave it the name of the ghost?"
"Where is this thing sold?"
"The mirror box is the king's business, every half month, he will put a batch of goods from the island, you can go and buy, remind you, bring enough echoes, many guys are competing, this thing is sold on other islands is sky-high. ”
"I don't need that much, I just need one. ”
"A, do you buy toys as a child?" the skull woman looked at Charles, with a hint of strangeness on her face.
