readx;? Hepburn Hildeman City looked at the person standing in front of him, a dark and tall middle-aged man. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He had a scumbag on his chin and was wearing a dark blue robe, which looked a little decadent, but his eyes were unusually bright, like priceless black pearls, which made his whole spirit change because of this.

"Vincent Yan Xiu. The Hepburn City Lord smiled at the middle-aged man, "I've heard of you for a long time. ”

Vincent bowed, but did not speak.

"The best navigator you ever did, you got it ten years ago, when you were eighteen years old. On the table of the city lord of Hepburn there was Vincent Yan Xiu's information, which was collected by the butler Hibbert, "But now, you seem to be retired? Is it at this age to take care of your wife and children at home?" ”

Vincent shook his head: "Dear Lord of the City, navigators will not retire, because the ocean has no boundary. I'm just preparing for my next voyage. ”

"So, are you ready?" asked the Hepburn Lord as he closed his profile and looked into his eyes, "Are you ready to sail away again?"

Vincent was silent for a moment, then said, "My lord, I probably know what you came to me for. ”

"Oh? ”

"I heard some rumors that it was in the port of Sofia. Vincent also looked into Hepburn's eyes, and he was not afraid to look at such a superior person, "It's not so much a rumor as a fact, the sea monster has caused you trouble." ”

Hepburn didn't expect Vincent to be able to tell the truth in one word, which made him lose the initiative in an instant, and he could only respond with a wry smile: "You are very smart, I think, if it were you, you would never have doubted the existence of a sea monster." ”

"I don't know what you're referring to, but there's a lot of weirdness in the sea. Vincent said, "Some creatures are really vicious, very aggressive, and in order to survive their mouths, you have to be more aggressive than they are." Of course, it takes some luck, after all, the sea is their territory. ”

Hepburn noticed a deep scar on Vincent's neck, striking and glaring.

"You can see you've been through a lot. Hepburn's words carried a hint of respect, "Then with your experience, you can guess what kind of creature will come ashore and attack people." ”

Vincent frowned and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"No or don't know?" Hepburn asked.

"As I said earlier, there are a lot of sea creatures that can attack people, but they are all in the deep sea. "They rarely come to shallow seas, let alone leave the ocean to land on land." Perhaps, the sea monster you are talking about is also a species I have not seen. ”

Although he had already guessed the answer, Hepburn was still a little disappointed. However, he quickly gathered his spirits, stared into Vincent's eyes again, and asked slowly, "Have you heard of the island of legends, Epilon?"

"Everybody by the sea knows. "I've had the pleasure of meeting a few times, but only a few times. ”

"Do you think you have a chance to land on the Island of Legends?"

"There's no place a navigator can't go. Vincent continued, "It's just that I haven't found a way yet, but I'm going to keep trying. ”

"Then we'll give you a chance. Hepburn said, "Give you a chance to try, ships, equipment, personnel, we give you the most professional, how?"

Vincent was silent again. After a long time, he whispered, "We are looking for something different. ”

"Maybe it's the same. Hepburn stared at Vincent as if he were spying on an unclothed beauty, "You're looking for your Epilon Island, we're looking for the truth about the sea monster." ”

"Your so-called sea monsters are not necessarily on Epilon Island. ”

"But what if? I think you should know that the Sophia is the best ship. Hepburn whispered, "It is also the ship most likely to approach Babylon Island, you should know that." ”

Vincent was silent again.

One is the legendary island that he has longed for many years, and the other is the legendary "sea monster" who slaughtered an entire town. Just because he wants to conquer the sea doesn't mean he won't be afraid of the horrors of the sea.

The more people who know the sea, the more they fear the sea.

Hepburn was not in a hurry to urge Vincent, and the polite old gentleman retained a high degree of patience at the moment. So there was silence, and the butler Hibbert stood in the far corner, and he looked up at the old wall clock, which was ticking a hundred-year-old antique, as if someone were taking small steps on the wooden floor.

Time also passed in this small step, and the butler Hibbert only felt that in a trance, it was already evening, and the setting sun spread a pale golden afterglow in the city lord's mansion. The patience of the Hepburn City Lord slowly dissipated in this afterglow.

"If you don't want to"

"I want full command of the Sophia. Vincent spoke, interrupting what the Hepburn Lord was about to say.

The city lord of Hepburn seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Of course." ”

Having made his decision, Vincent exhaled, as if he had a heavy burden on his chest.

"You have a lot of courage. Hepburn said.

"I just don't want to regret it. With that, Vincent turned and strode away, his broad back vanishing in the pale gold.

Hibbert walked up to the Hepburn Lord and whispered, "He is very arrogant. ”

"People who have the ability are arrogant. Lord Hepburn sighed, "Hepburn is now the best card I can draw my hand with, when the lobby gives up sending hunters for support." ”

"Is the hall really doing nothing?"

"The reply from the Imperial Capital is that their best hunter has come to the port of Sophia and will assist us in this voyage. Lord Hepburn pursed his lips and said, "If it weren't for Lord Rose's edict, I would think they were joking with me, and I haven't seen any hunters now." ”

"Even the best hunters may not be useful at sea. Hibbert voiced his fears, after all, as he said, the sea is not a continent, and hunters have not yet been able to dominate the continent, let alone the ocean.

"So we're still taking a gamble. Hepburn said, "I have a double-edged sword." ”

Hibbert looked at Hepburn suspiciously.

"Grimm, the thief. Hepburn said softly, "You can't ignore this trump card in our hands." ”
