Chapter 6: The Sunset Islands

At noon the next day, two people, one fat and one thin, sat at the desk in the cabin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"No way!"

"No, no, no, no!"

The fat man shook his head like an afterimage, and the gold ornaments on his body clanged.

"Why not?" Lukka didn't expect that he had obviously used magic to deter the other party before, and as soon as he mentioned borrowing a boat to find a source of magic power, the Golden Tooth El became inaccessible.

"Because the place you are talking about is too dangerous!" said Goldfang, in no uncertain terms, "do you know where the coordinates are?

"I know magic! There must be a lot of treasure there. Lukka threw his chips. He didn't explicitly tell Golden Fang about the hidden dangers of blood magic on his body, not because he was afraid that Golden Fang would leak secrets, but because he said that the other party probably wouldn't understand it, he simply changed it to a concept that he could understand better: treasure.

The Golden Tooth still shook his head desperately: "Even if there is more treasure, I will not go." I'm already planning to retire!"

"Retired, pirates can still retire?" Lukka was amazed.

"Why not? I'm not wanted in the whole territory. Goldtooth glanced at Lukka and added, "Not like you." ”

After an afternoon of chatting with Golden Tooth, Lukka finally figured out the basics of the sea.

This area of the sea is called the Sunset Sea, and there are no continents in the whole area, only hundreds of islands of different sizes, which are called the Sunset Islands.

Luca wanted to go to the southernmost part of the sea, on a reef that stretched across the entire length of the sea. In this huge area of death, the currents are very chaotic, and the approaching ships will be pushed to the reef by the currents sooner or later, and the wreckage of the ships that cannot be towed away after hitting the reef accumulates on the reef for many months, like the shrike bird showing off its catch, so it is called the shrike abyss.

To the northeast of the sea, occupied by the mighty Second Empire of Broun, the Empire's territorial waters cover more than a quarter of the entire sea, and the island of Atto, from which they have just fled, is under the jurisdiction of the Empire.

Most of the islands in the northwest of the sea belong to the June Alliance, an alliance of small states to avoid being annexed by the Brohn Empire.

Although the two sides did not officially go to war, the small friction never stopped, and they even supported some pirates to harass each other.

Therefore, a pirate like the Golden Tooth El, who specializes in getting along with the Imperial Navy, can become a law-abiding citizen as long as he arrives in the territory of the June Alliance, and he is a local tyrant and a good citizen with all the savings of his pirate career.

It's a pity that Lukka can't have that kind of life.

First of all, he has no money. As Lieutenant Warren of the Imperial Navy said, the original Crimson Shadow was just a small character who robbed a fishing boat, and he could be kicked out by the tavern owner even after a drink, so naturally he couldn't have a lot of money.

Secondly, because the cowhide is blown too big, Lukka is not only treated as a criminal in the Empire, but on the side of the June Alliance, he is also on the wanted list.

With the Golden Fang's way of doing things, he didn't throw him directly to the Alliance Navy in exchange for a bounty. Of course, the bigger reason is that Luca's magic is so unscrupulous that people dare not fight him.

But since Golden Tooth said that he was going to retire, wouldn't this "Princess Rose" be of little use to him?

"This ship?" Golden Fang listened to Luca's question and nodded repeatedly, "Of course sell it, it's useless for me to retire this ship." If you want to buy it, you can get a 6% discount, and you can count it as 12,000 silver coins. ”

"How much is my head worth?" Lukka asked.

"Three thousand, what's wrong?"

"Do I look like I've got four heads?" Lukka looked at Gold Fang sincerely.

"Well, don't you just can't afford it? Actually, even if you have four heads, you can't afford to pay a sailor's salary if you buy this ship?" Goldtooth shook his head, "Actually, you might as well build a smaller boat, and it won't take a few people to drive it." ”

He stretched out his hand and unscrewed the flask, took a large gulp, and continued: "Moreover, the boat has a shallow draft, and is not easy to touch the reef, and in a place like the Shrike Abyss, it may last a few more hours. ”

Saying that, Golden Fang reached out and handed over the flask, and Lukka looked at the mouth of the bottle that was still stained with saliva, and quickly pushed it back.

He spread the map out again, staring at a few bright spots on it.

In addition to the one in the abyss of the shrike bird, the other two relatively large bright spots are in the northeast and northwest corners, which are not far away, but they are ......

The two highlights, one of which read: Flashsprings, the capital of the Empire, and the other read: Jinqiao Town, the headquarters of the June Alliance.

In contrast, the reef zone is the easiest to get to.

As for the remaining small points of light that are too faint, according to the "shut up" statement: "It's too small, and it can't last your life if you take it." ”

Lukka looked up at the Golden Tooth, "Why don't you lend me some money?"

The Golden Tooth nodded happily and took out five shiny silver coins from his arms: "No more!

Lukka looked at this miser and couldn't laugh, so he simply stopped talking nonsense with him and went out to breathe.

He rolled up the map again, found a leather tube for the telescope in the house, and put it on his back.

"Wake up!" he poked his finger at the "shut up" who was standing on the cage napping, and put the confused parrot on his left shoulder and walked out the door.

Seeing him come out, the sailors on the ship dodged one after another, and all of them retreated to a distance of two meters.

Am I so terrible? Is it too dirty? But I've already taken a shower, and besides, you're no cleaner than I am.

Lukka scratched his head, and then he realized that the sailors were hiding not from themselves, but from their own shoulders.

It seems that Ollie is not the only one who will be defeated by this parrot.

The brig was not very wide, and Luka, who was dodging back and forth, caused a lot of trouble for the sailors' work, but it didn't take long for the sailors on the lookout to cry: "Land! ahead is the territory of the June Alliance, Crackstone Harbor!"

Lukka stood at the bow of the boat, craned his neck to look ahead, a small gray island looming over the horizon.

Someone knocked him on the right shoulder with something from the side, and when he looked back, Ollie had changed into the heavy armor and the greatsword on his shoulder.

Ollie frowned and said, "You're going to go ashore with such a swagger and set an example for the other wanted criminals to turn themselves in?"

"Don't frown all the time, you'll get wrinkles. Luca laughed and said, "Of course I have a way." ”

He pulled out a scroll again—shut up, just pulled out from under his wings in the morning.

Seeing that the harbor was getting closer, Lukka reached out and made a small cut in the greatsword on Ollie's shoulder, pressing the scroll.

Suddenly, the surface of his body became mirror-like, reflecting a seven-colored halo of sunlight. But in a moment, all of these halos disappeared, and Luca's face completely changed to a different shape, even the dark red coat became a dark blue.

"How long will this last?" Ollie curiously rubbed his hand against his coat to keep it from fading.

"At least one day, enough for me to evade the guards at the docks. ”
