Vincent put on his captain's suit again, hiding the scars and gore on his body. He gathered all the travelers in the dining room, where there were several corpses of sea monkeys, the sticky blood that was only disgusting to look at.

"It's just a fun little thing in the sea. Vincent buttoned up his shirt and said, "The attack is very strong, but the weakness is also obvious, that is, fear of fire." ”

Ian remembered that Vincent had a torch in his hand when he found them.

"But there are always some newbies who are going to be unlucky. Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said, snorting at Tim, "As you can see, that guy was killed by that annoying thing before he could react. Actually, it's not scary, so please don't be so excited next time, just run away with your companion, that will only be more dangerous, sea monkeys come from the deep sea, so they like to drill into dark places the most, and they will be slow in the firelight. ”

Tim was a little unconvinced, but he knew Vincent was right. After all, on the sea, all of them can only be regarded as rookies, and Vincent is the shark that swims.

There was a question that had been bothering Ian for a long time, and seeing that Vincent didn't mean to say much, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Can that kind of sea monkey come ashore?"

Vincent glanced at him and said, "I know what you're thinking, the Hepburn City Lord asked me the same question, that's right, the claws of sea monkeys can indeed kill people with one blow and cut people's hearts, similar to the dead refugees in Shaibe, but"

Vincent's voice changed: "As I said, these guys are from the deep sea, and they can't stay out of the ocean for long, or even go to shallow beaches. And, as you can see, these things are not invincible, they are weak as long as there is fire, so I don't think that the sea monster that slaughtered Shaibe is such a creature. ”

A flash of disappointment flashed through Ian's heart.

Vincent looked Ian in the eye and said, "I know you're good, but on the ocean, you have to listen to me." Remember, if I die, none of you will live, so the next time something like this happens, don't scurry around like headless flies. In that case, it will really die. ”

Vincent paused, then swept his gaze to everyone: "It's true for him, and it's true for you. When disaster strikes, you should be thinking about how to get close to me, not how to get away from me. I hope you remember. ”

With that, Vincent left the restaurant without looking back. Obviously, there are many things that are more important to him than to appease the few travelers in front of him. The four people who stayed, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.

In the end, it was Tim who took the lead in speaking out indignantly: "How can he be like this, he doesn't take us seriously at all." Whether it's a sea monster or a sea monkey, this kind of thing should have been told to us in advance. ”

"There is no end to what is in the sea, so we can only be careful to watch out. To Ian's surprise, this time it was the short, old, gray-haired old man who spoke, with a nostalgic smile on his face, "Honestly, he's the most special captain I've ever met. ”

"The most special?"

"Uh-huh, the most special. The old man smiled at Ian, "This is the fifth time I've been on the Sophia. ”

Ian froze. He vaguely remembered that Eve had mentioned to him that every ten years, a Sophia would set sail in search of the fabled island. The old man said that he was on the Sophia for the fifth time, and that didn't mean that

The old man saw what Ian was thinking, nodded and said, "That's right, the first time I boarded the Sophia was fifty years ago. I was a young man in my twenties at the time, and just like you, I remember that the captain of the Sophia was Hogsstillman. He was a polite old gentleman, and was so fond of drinking that there was a special warehouse on the ship for him. He was generous and liked to invite us travelers to taste his wines, my God, it all seemed to happen yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be fifty years later. ”

Fifty years. It was enough time to move the young man, neither Ian nor Tim had gone through the halfway of fifty years, but fifty years ago, the old man was already on this ship.

"This time the number of passengers on board the Sofia is the fewest in fifty years. "And the captain is not as friendly as the other captains, and the four previous captains were all gentle and courteous. And this captain is like a knight who wants to charge with a gun. ”

Ian agrees. Especially when he saw Vincent in the warehouse, he was suspicious that it was an experienced old hunter standing in front of him, not a captain who had the ocean as his companion.

The only female passenger on the ship was a tall, curly-haired woman. As the old man spoke, she frowned as if she was pondering something, and finally, as if she remembered something, she asked excitedly, "Are you the Pearl King, Newman Stolland?"

The old man glanced at the woman with some surprise, and then smiled: "I didn't expect anyone to know me as a bad old man, but girl, I am no longer the king of pearls." Now I'm just an old man, a very ordinary old man. ”

The woman apparently did not treat the old man as an ordinary old man. After recognizing the old man's identity, she kept pestering the old man, and words like "pearls, sea mussels" kept popping out of her mouth, which made inland-born Ian and Tim unable to interject at all, and could not understand what they were saying. The two looked at each other and finally decided to go back to their room first.

"Wait, two young men. The old man stopped Ian and Tim.

Ian turned his head and looked at the old man suspiciously, "Do you have anything else?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, just a word of advice. The old man smiled slightly, "Don't sleep too hard in the last two days, because soon, maybe one day, maybe two days, you will be able to see the legendary island of Epilon." ”

Ian and Tim were stunned, and then Tim excitedly asked, "You mean, we will be able to land on Epilon Island soon?"

The old man shook his head: "No, that's not what it meant. I mean, we'll be able to see Babylon Island soon. ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You'll soon understand. The old man glanced at the two of them meaningfully, "You will understand that there may really be gods in this world." ”
