Chapter 737: Lost Island (Part II)
The island of Ruthi always smells of alcohol, and if it weren't for the ruins of the houses, it would probably be the smell of alcohol and garbage in the dark.
Pirates are really not good at governance, or they don't bother to take care of it at all.
Although Monica invited Wang Chu and his party to rest on the island of Lutehi for the night, after dinner, Wang Chu decided to return to the ship to rest.
In the past few days, I have just adapted to a shaky life, and I have to go to a place where tobacco and alcohol smell all of a sudden, which is very uncomfortable.
Only a few men from the traveling scholar Lezan stayed there, probably for some kind of research.
Anyway, the ship will leave tomorrow, and they can sleep wherever they like.
It's what Monica said during the day, and I've always been very concerned about it...... Looking at the sea in the dark night, because it is a port, there are only a few places on the shore that are lit, and many pirates are still in the wreckage of the destroyed houses.
It's a place full of mystery!
Bonfires were lit along the shore, and even after the buildings were destroyed, the pirates still had to live, and it is said that most of the houses had basements underneath, and they were once used as places to store wine, but now they are temporary habitats.
The smell of grilled fish wafted into the air, overshadowing the smell of fuel and corpses.
From day to night, the pirate ship had been salvaging the bodies of the shipwrecked crew members in the nearby waters, and according to them, many of them did not even have time to react when the dragon passed by, and the island of Luthi burst into flames as soon as it passed through the air.
The bodies of the crew were fished up and placed in a ship that had not yet been burned, and oil was poured on it, and the fire was pushed into the depths of the sea.
The people of the sea should return to the sea.
No matter how unfamiliar the people on land are to the sea, this is their home in the eyes of the pirates, and every island in the sea is home land.
Poignant singing came from the shore, with a drunken voice.
It's like saying goodbye to the dead crew......
Pirates are considered bad guys, but they are brothers.
Wang Chu listened to the majestic singing and stood quietly on the bow of the boat.
Behind him, he heard Lias walking by.
Hiss~ I seem to be able to distinguish the steps of Lias and Gulyana walking, and I can recognize which person it is just by listening to the voice.
"Isn't it cold?" Wang Chu said.
"Well, it's fine. I've gotten used to it these days, and I'm now very adaptable to the natural weather. ”
Since returning to Valla, Lias has become almost one of the strongest human warriors in the area, and even the old magicians of the Wizards' Guild feel a bit of pressure when they see her.
The momentum exuded by a person whose strength lies above him is very obvious, especially after reaching a certain level.
"Are we going to look for that island tomorrow?"
"Well, I have a feeling that we're getting closer, and that there must be a reason for the dragon's presence. Wang Chu said.
"Oh. A simple answer.
Lias's enthusiasm doesn't seem to be too high, and these days she feels like she has to keep going because she's already on the ship.
"Cam. ”
"Huh?"
After a pause, he didn't continue.
Wang Chu looked into Lias's eyes, since the death of old Julian, she has become much more mature than before, and she had told her before about the importance of expanding the sea area, and the most likely threat in the future will come from this region.
She probably understood, too, so she swallowed the words back.
"It's okay, isn't there still me here, I want to see what kind of monsters are hidden in this sea...... No matter how bad it is, Nana is still there. Wang Chu said with a smile.
"You call her Nana!"
Belch...... Hey, don't care about these details at this time.
........................
Outside of the ship where the two were talking, Gulanna and Anwenna were on the sidelines, also listening to the pirates' songs.
The two of them were also thinking about the events of the day, especially Gulanna, who recalled whether she had heard of the existence of Lost Island for so many years, as if no one had mentioned it to her, not even the magicians back then.
"Mentor, let's go first, I saw the Grand Mentor and Lias on the boat. ”
"Oh, just wait, wait a minute. Gulanna said.
The next morning, it was always Lias or Gulliana who woke them up, and the wandering scholars were already packing their things, and the pirates had brought some supplies.
What is most needed on the sea is fresh water and vegetables, which are available on the island of Luthi, and the traveling scholar Laizan also specially brought a barrel of good wine for Wang Chu, saying that it tastes particularly good made from the special spring water on this island.
Wang Chu realized that the pirates did not choose to live on the island at random, at least there must be fresh water, otherwise how would humans live.
No wonder Monica would say that she didn't find a suitable island after searching for so long......
Originally, Monica wanted to set off with the ship, thinking that she would be able to reach farther places with her, but there were still many places where she needed to be like this on the island of Luteshi, and Wang Chu felt that she was a little afraid of Guliana.
Every time I saw her, I kept my head down.
Eventually, Monica gave her several pages of her diary and charts, and Wang Chu let the ship continue to sail into the deep sea.
There are also several charts that allow for a more accurate determination of the location, as the location of the island of Rutchy is marked, and the pirates also indicate the mileage and the distance the ship can sail in a day.
In a sense, pirates are really experts in seafaring.
The voyage continued on the fourth day,
There was no longer any place to see the other islands, and Wang Chu paid attention to the charts left by Monica, which was beyond the reach of humans.
That is, unfamiliar seas, places where human fleets will not reach.
The scholars began to actively plot the mileage of this piece, because the direction does not change, and the position of the straight line can only be simply drawn.
The sun was still hot, and the days on the sea were gradually getting used to it.
Day 10,
Fog shrouded the road ahead.
The sudden fog made the weather at sea a little unpredictable.
Wang Chu opened Monica's diary, which was the last place to be recorded, and the diary said that the fog began on the fifteenth day and made the direction blurred.
As if entering another world, it is difficult for the nautical instruments to determine the position, and it is only certain that the team is still moving forward.
Because the speed of the ship is fast, it took Wang Chu ten days to arrive on this page.
The fog is getting thicker, and the ships can only slow down to the slowest speed, ready for any environment on the deserted sea.
Wang Chu began to send out mountain eagles to check everywhere, sometimes even if he only walked a kilometer or two a day, he had to make sure that there was no danger ahead......
"Master, I found a continent in front of me!"
