Sea of the Dead, Dragon Island

There were dozens of dragons in the blue sky

。

The sea breeze caressed, a loud roar pierced through the clouds, and the majestic figures landed heavily on the dark sea rocks.

Directly in front of them, on the black rock, taller than the dragons, a black-robed humanoid creature spread his arms, and for a moment, the dragons lowered their noble heads.

Griffith, the red dragon, came to the black-robed man, and after a whispered conversation, bursts of lightning appeared around the black-robed man.

Black fog filled around him, accompanied by lightning. The black mist grew bigger and bigger, and the purple eyes began to appear.

Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky, as if it was enthusiastically celebrating the arrival of a new era.

......

Konstantin's round body shuddered

, it wiped the sweat from its forehead with its little paws.

When he was a dragon that could breathe fire at will, he didn't expect that the aftermath of his flames could bring such terrifying temperatures.

Phil and Locke also wiped the sweat from their foreheads, but they were overjoyed when they saw a dilapidated Gothic building from afar.

The tall figure standing outside the door was not the old Mike they were familiar with!

"Phil, Locke, my God, my children...... Are you all right?"

Seeing that Phil and Locke were safe and sound, Old Mack's eyes suddenly brightened, and he rushed forward to meet his children with great strides, and the crutches in his hands struck the ground sharply, the rhythm of which coincided with his accelerated heart rate, which was the magnificent drum beat that God gave life.

At this moment, Old Mike is really running, running with all his strength, flying!

These two grizzled boys

, it's really worry-free!

Rock and Phil hurried to catch up. Old Mike

They charged, falling into their arms with precision and speed. The three of them embraced each other happily and cried with joy. The old urchin was naughty again.

"All alive, all alive, all alive!"

"I'm afraid you won't find me!

Old Mike burst into tears.

"You see we don't have arms and legs, isn't Uncle Mac also good! don't cry......" Locke hurriedly comforted him.

At this moment, it seemed that a warm ray of sunshine was sprinkled on their bodies, illuminating the world behind them.

The reunion at the moment of dawn, no one wants to lose each other, so they choose to give a part of their soul to the important person in their hearts, embedded in each other's memories, and in the years, so that the other party can never forget themselves.

Sometimes it is quite a happy thing to see the face of the person you miss again, even if it is only for the last time......

The three of them turned around several times before they could let go, but Old Mac took Phil and Locke in his arms, folded his hands and closed his eyes and prayed to the pirate god.

"Great Captain Jack, thank you for your blessings, your legend will be remembered by the world. These two children will surely have more treasures and women in the future, thank you for your selfless gifts, and they will surely follow your guidance in search of the most precious treasures of life. I hope you will always protect them and give them extraordinary courage and strength, Red Beard. ”

"Home...... Got home...... It's good to be back!

Old Mac wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't stop it.

Phil stepped forward and brushed the old face of the man in front of him with his hand, wiping the stars from the corners of his eyes. The traces left by those years are intertwined into beautiful stamens, growing on the banks of the eyes and on the top of the eyebrows.

It's one of the most beautiful images in the world, at least that's what Phil and Locke think.

Seeing this scene, Locke also hurriedly put his arm on Phil's shoulder, and said happily: "The white-bearded old pirate is happy, we can't die yet, hey! In my heart, the captain is the most handsome today! Even Uncle Bill next door is not as handsome as you." ”

"It's good to know this kind of thing, to be quiet, and besides, I'm not Blackbeard or Whitebeard, I'm Redbeard, hahaha!

I'll take you to the sea and sail to Dragon Island to dig for treasure!"

Phil looked at Old Mike, a lame old man with a limp, still wearing a funny pirate hat and a shabby pirate costume, with a resolute face

, I can't help but feel that the glorious years he exaggerated are all facts.

And his promise to take in Phil and Locke and sail away with them is also true?

Locke looked at Old Mac playfully at this time, and seemed to be very disdainful of Old Mack's words, so he said to Phil: "Old Mac would brag, and every time he told us that his pirate ship was turned into the size of a peanut by an elven wizard, but now he doesn't even see a ghost." ”

As soon as Old Mac heard this, he tilted the corners of his mouth high, and said solemnly: "You unlucky puppy, you can't even pee when Redbeard shows his might!"

”

"You'll only be able to hold on to crutches when I'm showing my might. ”

"Redbeard will always be your uncle, even if he is on crutches. ”

"Yes, your old treasure knife is not old, and if you don't die, you will have a blessing. ”

After a joking, old Mac staggered around, opened the quaint door with a shudder, and limped up two steps, beckoning Phil and Locke.

"Come on, come in, my sailors. Large steaks are waiting for you, medium-rare, medium-rare, and uncooked! ”

Constantine leapt out of Locke's arms and rushed through the door first, and the speed of the sprint was so fast that a gust of wind drove by, causing Old Mac to laugh.

"It seems that the most heroic of my sailors is a puppy! Constantine, wait for me! Don't finish the steak!"

Phil and Locke touched their already empty stomachs, and when they saw this scene, they had to rush into the door and go straight to the dining table!

Old Michael grabbed the two men from behind, and said slowly: "The sailors should let the captain dine first, this dinner is still the captain's reward for you, follow the captain, Konstantin can't find the steak for a while." ”

"We're going to find the treasure right away, the treasure that keeps us alive. Hahaha......"

Old Mac hobbled in front of the two and led them up to the second floor.

Redbeard opened the locker, brought out a few bottles of rum, and poured them into the glasses on the round table.

The hot and humid sea breeze broke through the window and hit the steak that was still hot, and the aroma of the steak made the three of them lick their lips.

Downstairs, Konstantin suddenly noticed something, sniffed a few times, and rushed up to the second floor like an arrow off the string.

Konstantin looked at the three people sitting at the round table, then at the steak on the table, and exhaled with relief.

Under the dim oil lamp, three people and a dog were feasting, and the three of them held up their rum and celebrated that they were still alive.

A red sun showed half of his face on the horizon, and Phil turned his head to look out the window at the seascape, and under the blood-red sky, the light of the lighthouse in the distance was already shining on the sparkling sea.

Nearby, fishermen are smoking cigarettes and talking, mothers are calling their mischievous children home for dinner, and a fishing boat is slowly sailing into the distance.

Old Mac also looked out the window, his eyes showing a little nostalgia, he touched his graying beard, and told the story of the voyage of the red beard.

"Half of the Fallen Angel is a fair-skinned and beautiful woman, and the other half is a handsome and kind guy, and we sing and dance together, and we search for legendary treasures together. ”

"We have defeated many vicious and ferocious pirates, and gradually we have become legends of the seas, and no pirate dares to make us an opponent. ”

Locke couldn't help but giggle when he heard these two unusually familiar opening lines.

Locke stopped the knife and fork in his hand and said seriously, "Have you ever encountered the legendary Kraken and a large octopus with one hundred and eight tentacles?"

"Locke sailor, why don't you tell us the details?" said Phil with another sip from his glass, smirking evilly.

As soon as he heard this, Locke got up and took off the pirate hat from Old Mac's head, put it on his head, and put one foot on the stool.

Locke pretended to be old Mike, and said in a thick voice with excitement, "Okay! Captain Redbeard was so brave when the Fallen Angel encountered a large octopus! He was so brave and full of wisdom that he led the crew to fight the monsters with cannons and harpoons. For a while, the monster was beaten by the crew and cried dad and mother. ”

Locke paused, coughed dryly, and continued.

"But at some point, a mysterious vortex appeared out of thin air, sending the Fallen Angel back to the port of Dragon Slaying City. The crew had used up all the shells and harpoons, and that wasn't enough!, and our red-bearded captain returned to shore and took out his frustration on more than twenty fair-skinned and beautiful girls. ”

Locke slapped the table with his palm and said excitedly: "It is said that that night, the Red Pavilion received reports from countless neighbors, and even the soldiers on patrol rushed over. There was a disheveled woman who finally screamed and rushed out of the Red Pavilion, and guess what she said?"

"What did you say?" said Phil.

At this time, old Mike spoke, "She said: 'Redbeard who has returned from the great war is like a god descending from the heavens, mighty and unyielding, and he has conquered countless islands and caves, he is so powerful! '"

"Hahahaha...... ......"Phil, Locke and the dog Constantine are laughing again.

With the sea breeze, drinking rum, and eating steak, it is a perfect match for old Mike's unbroken past.

After sweeping the steak on the table, the three of them leaned on the stool contentedly, and Old Michael squinted at Phil and Locke, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile of satisfaction.

A one-meter-long gap cracked in the once cloudy sky, and the sunlight finally passed through the dark clouds, even if it was only one meter.

The teenagers who were once ignorant of the world gradually grew up unconsciously.

I still remember the summer of those years, when the crying little Phil was always bullied by the mischievous Locke, the sunlight through the dark clouds was so warm.

Two free birds always love to wander between the bustling city, the tranquil harbor, and the sweet candy house.

These two little tricks can bring a lot of trouble, but most of the time it is Locke who takes the unsuspecting Phil to commit crimes, stealing candy, fighting is the norm, and the most excessive thing is that the two of them only had a barbecue indoors once and almost set the whole house on fire, which made Old Mac angry for a long time, so angry that he stomped his feet! But helpless...... When I was shot in their clear eyes, my heart began to soften again.

Thanks to these two muddy boys, old Mike, who was originally short-tempered, gradually became like a kind father.

But in their childhood, the most memorable thing for Old Mac was that golden afternoon.

......

In my impression, the light is snow, covering the whole earth, blending with the distant mountains, reflecting the sea, the bubbling blood in the heart, the tears of regret that the sun god loves, and the mirage cast from the clouds.

Two scarred teenagers, walking on each other's hands, bathed in that strange light. Their shadows are stretched so long by the setting sun, and Old Mac believes that this is a projection of the soul, which seems to foreshadow future fate. They are destined to become tall and like a real man, galloping through this troubled world.

I remember that little Locke's left eye was blue, and the corners of Little Phil's mouth were swollen, but the happiness on their faces was indeed much stronger than golden red.

Just stood like that, watching the two bruised children walking on the road full of dusk, slowly coming to themselves, they held each other tightly, for fear that one of them would fall first, perhaps, this is their fate!

"Captain, I've brought back our helmsman! I've single-handedly defeated eight abominable pirates, isn't that great!"

"Captain, the first mate is lying! Obviously he has knocked down ten, I have knocked down eleven! Am I even better!"

"There are so many little pirates in the harbor, and the two crew members have worked really hard, and they are half as good as Redbeard! Come in! The captain has made you something to eat. ”

"Good!" cheered in unison.

At the dinner table, Old Mac couldn't help but ask about the dreams of the two little ones, and then the captain suddenly felt that his heart was very calm, and the calm was a little terrifying.

"Helmsman, answer Captain, what is your dream?"

"Report to Captain, I want the world to be peaceful and everyone can live happily and comfortably. ”

"So...... Where's our first mate?"

"I'm looking for a beautiful and kind girl to be my wife. ”

"Hahaha...... It's a great dream!Come, the captain will reward the crew with a few more pieces of meat!"

It turns out that Phil's dream is big, and he wants people all over the world to live a good life. Locke's dream is small, and he hopes to find a beautiful and kind girl with whom he will stay for the rest of his life.

......

Before you know it, now these two little kids have grown up and are almost adults!

The captain is also old, how many years can he protect them?

Old Mac put his hands behind his head.

I thought to myself.

What role did the old Redbeard play in their hearts, and did the captain really protect their childhood, their dreams, their hearts?

Before he knew it, Old Mac fell asleep, and dreamed of Phil and Locke smiling at each other in the golden-red sunset.

Phil and Locke put a blanket on Old Mack, and by the way, they dipped a quill pen in ink and drew a little turtle on his face, and the little turtle's butt was right in front of Old Mack's mouth, which was really just incidental.

Locke and Phil then went back to their rooms.

The stars were shining outside the window, and Phil sighed deeply in the darkness, but this night made Phil feel an indescribable sense of fear in his heart.

Phil wrapped himself tightly in the quilt over his head. Whenever Phil was afraid of the night, he would do it, as if something would come out of the darkness and eat him.

Did the night really scare everyone?

In fact, Phil's feeling was correct, a pair of eyes were staring at him from afar, and there was only eternal nothingness left in those eyes......
