Chapter Eighty-Six: Further to the Volcanic Island
On a sunny summer morning, the original scene of thousands of sails on the pier is gone.
Occasionally, ships that docked only passed through Freeport to resupply.
Sitting on the bolt, Extraordinary rubbed the black bread in his hand, not tossed into the air.
Two or three seabirds hovered above Extraordinary's head, and the sight of breadcrumbs was a swoop, and some of the seabirds that were one step slower went to chase after their kind that had obtained food, and some stayed behind to continue waiting for Extraordinary to feed.
"These seabirds are not afraid of people, and if there is a 'pirate bird' mixed in with them, young citizen, you should be careful with your fingers!"
The first thing that caught the extraordinary sight was a hemp bag, which was carried in the hands of a small old man, and just by looking at the old man's clothes, he knew that he was a poor man.
It is easy to distinguish between a citizen and a freeman, and the citizen has a round badge to wear on his chest, which is a good way to reduce the conflict between the citizen and the freeman.
The extraordinary smile that stood up and nodded, his clothes were so slippery that he didn't even wear the high-level mage badge that he often used to beep.
"Hello old man, do you think it is reliable for so many ships to go to sea to find that volcanic island with no location?" asked Extraordinary humbly.
It is obvious that the old man is picking up some discarded objects on the dock, and sometimes with luck, he can also pick up fresh fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs that have been missed by the female workers with big waists in the garbage heap of various shellfish cleaned up by the dock.
In the impression of the extraordinary past, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea.
The tide rises and falls, and there will be no shortage of food when you catch the sea.
But after actually understanding the situation, Extraordinary realized that the sea is not friendly to ordinary people.
Turbulent ocean currents and violent hurricanes always bring surprises that make ordinary people lose their lives.
When it is necessary to risk their lives to catch the sea, there are fewer people who go to the sea.
The old man who scavenged was probably also talkative, and after the result was a white bread and an apple handed over by Extraordinary, he even smiled a flower.
Swallowing his saliva and putting the food into one of his satchels, the old man pulled the sack and sat down.
"Now that the whole Freeport is going crazy, then it is probably the real thing! This kind of treasure of divine gifts will only cheapen those nobles and parliamentarians, and it doesn't make sense for me to be true or false at will! I only care about what I can eat at the next meal!"
Originally, it was just a casual question, but I didn't expect the old man to say such philosophical words.
He took out a homemade cigarette and gave it to the old man.
"Whew!" intoxicated with a puff of smoke ring, the old man was very grateful to the extraordinary.
"Young man, don't pursue those so-called Magic Crystal Island, Golden Island, some One Piece treasure! ”
The old man felt that he was relieved and extraordinary, and only two sentences could be used to make an extraordinary bread and cigarette roll.
Extraordinary looked at the sea and said: "The Duke's Palace will not stop everyone's enthusiasm to go to sea, and many chambers of commerce have city hall councilors behind their fleets!"
Dusting off the ashes, Extraordinary continued: "There are also citizen representatives, and the group has also made five big ships to go to sea, and the key thing is that there are two black iron battleships among them!"
Gold coins are a good thing, and it only took Gu Lie half a day to go out, and he got the news that Extraordinary wanted to know.
The fleet of the Ducal Palace, the fleet of the parliamentarians, the fleet of the citizens' representatives, the fleet of the Chamber of Commerce, the fleet of mercenary groups......
What is extremely curious is that even if the volcanic island is large, there are so many forces crowded at once, but I don't know if there is still a place to stay.
When the time comes, the wolf will have more meat and less meat, and disputes will be together, and melee will be inevitable.
Except for fishing boats, which are used for real fishing, most of the merchant ships are armed merchant ships.
Forces like the Church of Light and the Wizards' Guild disdain to let the fleet go to sea, but when magicians are hired, it is a private act, and the guild has no power to regulate it.
Listening to the extraordinary words, the old man nodded from time to time.
"Yes! Yes, there are many ships out, wooden ships and iron-hulled ships, and warships with magic crystal cannons! The gods are on top! Is this going to dig up magic crystals or going to war?"
"I've also heard that they caught a lot of fishermen to lead the way, the fishermen on the 'Whaling Fork', and I heard that they were the first to discover the volcanic island?"
Old man: "Hehe, I know that! If any fisherman can lead the way to the volcanic island, it will be a blasphemy against the gifts of the gods!"
The old man stretched out three fingers with a sigh, "Only the captain, the first mate, and the lookout can find the right course." ”
Yes, the first mate is already dead, and if he leads the way to a certain force, he may be able to save his life, but who knows that he will die in an ordinary robbery.
As for Captain Quark and Lookout, they are the ones who care extraordinarily.
"But that day there was a big steel boat with a griffin striking horns, but it found the lookout on the fishing boat! It was still a child, and he was kicked by a strong man with a hammer, but how could he beat a strong man with a child?"
The old man sighed as he looked at the delicate cigarette box that Extraordinary had in his hand.
Extraordinary pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Griffin ramming?" I haven't seen a big ship that uses griffons as ramming, do you know the name of that ship?"
The old man didn't think about it, and replied, "I was far away at the time, and I could only see a rough idea, but the name of the ship must have been painted on the other side of the ship!"
Bidding farewell to the old man, he gave the old man the whole box of cigarettes, and let the old man call out "the gift of the gods!"
Wrote a short message of "dock convergence", and the extraordinary release of bird messengers.
With the words of the old man, Extraordinary thinks that Fanfan has a great chance of being caught and led the way.
So rescuing Fanfan is what Extraordinary needs to do urgently.
In a short time, two steam locomotives arrived at the docks, searching for the extraordinary figure little by little along the coastal road.
Hearing the sound of the locomotive, Extraordinary waved his arms from afar.
Parking and putting away the space ring, Gu Lie asked with an unhappy face: "My lord, what can't I go back to say, I'm checking an account book, I'm really busy!"
Extraordinary waved his hand and said: "I still remember the fan I mentioned to you last time, I am half an apprentice, and now I have been caught and gone to the volcanic island!
"My advice is to go by yourself, so it might be safer! Let you come is to tell you, save and say goodbye without saying goodbye!"
Extraordinary thought that Dosta must go with him, but he still preferred to go alone.
As a result, in a moment of stunnedness, Extraordinary saw that the three of Gu Lie had finished changing their clothes.
Underneath the robes of Gurret and Francis is a half-body of leather armor, and at the heart is an armor made of Canya's special steel.
Dosta's outfit was still two shoulders roughly tied around two straps, a leather skirt surrounded by rivets to cover the front and back, and a pair of over-the-knee Canian steel boots.
Silence is better than sound at this time!
Raising his hand, the white magic crystal spaceship appeared in front of the four of them, and they boarded in extraordinary strides, followed by the three of Gu Lie.
Pointing east, Extraordinary shouted, "Let's go!"
