The Silent Death didn't sail directly to the docks in Layton Harbor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After nearly a month of rampage at sea, the fame of this giant ship has long been spread along the currents and sea breezes all over the Sunset Islands. It's just that those rumors came out of the mouths of pirates who escaped death, and they have been relayed many times, and it is a bit reluctant to say that there are true and false, and there is basically nothing reliable.

For example, on the hapless Black-Sail pirate ship they encountered three days ago, the sailors had already listened to these rumors.

The brig was not small, and there were dozens of pirates on it. But when Lukka crossed the side of the ship, they did not raise their swords and muskets to resist.

The captain of the ship poured a large jar of coarse salt on Luka's body. Their first mate poured a bowl of water over with words in his mouth, and Lukka later heard Ollie explain that this was what they called holy water. And that's not all, every sailor actually hung a bunch of garlic on his chest.

The pirates were so superstitious that Lukka kept explaining to the captives while carrying things to his ship: "No, I'm not really a ghost, and even a ghost isn't afraid of salt, that's superstition, I've tried! I'm not a demon! Nonsense, I'm certainly not a vampire!"

If it weren't for the fact that the pirates weren't too rich, Lukka wondered if they would have to get some silverware from each of them, just in case they were werewolves.

As for the "Silent Death", the rumors are even more varied, the most outrageous is that she is a huge sea turtle that spits poisonous gas from one mouth. Daniel was so angry that he glared and stamped his feet, and finally kicked at the coarse salt scattered on the deck to extinguish the fire, and directly verified it for the trembling captured pirates: ghosts are really not afraid of salt.

In short, whether these rumors were good or bad, the "Silent Reaper" and Lukka and his gang were now famous, so he had to anchor the Silent Reaper in the shallow sea full sixty nautical miles from Layton Harbor, and several people went ashore on the Peregrine Falcon instead. If you sail the "Silent Reaper" directly to the port, you probably have to end the carnival.

"What carnival is coming?" Lukka asked, fiddling with the rudder.

"Iceberg Carnival!" Ollie said, leaning against the ship's side railing. Daniel had taken over the sails, and she was now doing almost every day, and if it weren't for the occasional hapless pirate crashing into the door, Ollie would probably be rusty in her joints.

Thinking that Lukka must not know anything, Ollie snatched peanuts from under his closed paws and explained to Luca:

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, the ice sheets on the northern sea are starting to loosen, and these falling ice sheets are icebergs, which will drift south at sea. In the next few days, the ships that caught the icebergs will go back to their own ports. When the first icecatcher returned to port, it was the day the carnival began. Although this day is not very fixed every year, it should be on these few days. ”

"Icecatchers, what do they want icebergs for?" Lukka didn't figure it out.

"Drink water, bathe in the bath, wash clothes, cook food! If you don't save the icebergs in this season, where will you get the water for the whole year? Will it depend on the rain? How can that be enough? Ollie said as she threw a peanut into her mouth.

"No rivers, no wells?" asked Luca.

This time it was Ollie's turn to get confused: "Haven't heard of the river, the well, what is it?"

Luca struggled to describe to Ollie what a river was and what a well was.

Ollie thought for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You have too much imagination, right? Digging a hole in the ground can indeed dig up water, but it's salty seawater!"

Shut up and take advantage of Ollie's distraction to finally snatch back the last peanut, it flew to Luka's head and flapped its wings: "Idiot! The islands here are so small that they can't form enough freshwater aquifers!"

Luca is not a water professional, so he certainly doesn't know that. However, when he returned to Sailing Harbor to buy supplies, he found out that fresh water was simply incredibly expensive, and at the time he thought it was because the prices there were already more expensive than other places, but now it seems that fresh water is really a precious thing in the Sunset Islands.

It seems that he will have to save some water in the future, and Luca feels a little distressed when he thinks that he used a whole basin of water to wash his face in the morning.

Crete approached from the bow of the Peregrine Falcon: "Captain, Layton Harbor is coming. ”

"It's here so soon, Daniel, you help me take the helm, I'll get a disguise. Lukka said as he handed over the rudder to the ghost—his obsession with the wheel seemed to have diminished as he became more proficient at the helm.

Luca's current mana reserves, when it is full, can cast a third-level spell once, but fortunately, the camouflage technique that changes the appearance is only a first-level spell, and the consumption is almost none, even if it is cast ten times, it should not be a problem.

"Well, don't you have enough magic, aren't you?" Ollie suddenly pressed Luca, "During the carnival, everyone walks around in the strangest clothes, and many people like to wear masks. You change your clothes, get a mask and put it on, and no one will recognize you. ”

"So good?" Lukka was overjoyed, he was really reluctant to use that pitiful amount of magic. After thinking about it, he asked again, "But didn't you say that the days are not fixed?"

Crete glanced in the direction of the port: "No problem, the shore has been hung with blue lights, which means that the official date of the carnival is tomorrow, and the festival began to warm up three days ago when the carrier pigeons on the icecatcher brought back the news." ”

After the Peregrine Falcon docked, Lukka stayed on board for the time being. After waiting less than ten minutes, Ollie ran back with six or seven masks.

Lukka chose a low-key belt - in fact, there is nothing low-key about these masks, even this so-called "low-key" one is painted with intricate ornaments in gold, at least this one is only black and gold, and the other masks are as gorgeous as a peacock's tail.

Changing into a black trench coat snatched from Black Sail, Lukka swaggered ashore, the only thing that displeased him was that even the trench coat was embroidered with gold curly grass ornaments. But it can't be helped, it's even more noticeable if you go out on the streets during the carnival in clothes without any decorations.

Daniel resolutely refused to accept such a "girl's disguise", and transformed himself into an entity, which, according to him, could be used at any time on the sea, but could only remain on shore for twenty-four hours.

It should be enough. Lukka thought to himself, isn't it just stealing a source of mana?
