Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Free State and Charana in the East China Sea
The whole wooden house is small, and the sound of crashing waves can be clearly heard outside, and the smell of seaside is permeated in the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But under that faint aroma, the smell of the sea was diluted a lot, and Lin Ye looked at the wooden barrel not far from him in a daze.
The barrel was only about 3 meters away from the bed where he was lying, and the steam was swirling, and a graceful silhouette loomed.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth, so as not to disturb the other party by making a noise.
It wasn't until Fleur came out of the water that he quickly lay down, closed his eyes, and pretended that he was still asleep and didn't know anything.
He thought he would be able to hide from the world, but after a moment, a chill hit him.
"Have you seen enough?" asked Charana as she wrapped herself in a garment, holding a short knife against the young man's throat in one hand, and smiled.
Her figure is graceful, and her long snow-white legs are particularly sexy and sultry.
Lin Ye held his breath, cold sweat seeped down his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and pretended to be asleep, without making any reaction.
"Boy, if you put it on again, I'll cut you off. The knife in Charana's hand began to walk downstream.
Lin Ye suddenly felt a burst of excitement, and immediately shrank his lower abdomen and sat up.
He looked around in a daze, and said with a blank expression, "What is this place? Why am I here?"
He still hopes to get the deal done.
A woman with a knife with her is not so easy to mess with.
"Little brother, you are really shy, our children of the sea yearn for freedom, you know what I mean, right? So even if you see it, it's nothing, you don't have to put on such a stiff expression. Charana changed her tone and put the knife away.
Her words relieved the fallen Duke.
"Earlier, I'm not as shy as you think...... Alas?" Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he thought he could get over it.
Unexpectedly, the knife that the woman had already put away was pulled out again.
The bright blade aimed at him is a stab!
"Sure enough, you still saw it, the left eye or the right eye, or both eyes together, choose it yourself. Charana viciously pressed the young man in front of her to the ground.
The blade grazed his ears and nailed them into the bed, and a strand of hair was cut in two.
Lin Ye came to his senses at this time, and after this woman's routine, he regretted that his intestines were blue!
"I really didn't see anything, I'm very sorry, I promise to forget that scene just now, I'm very sorry!"
After all, he was the one who was the first to lose, and he didn't dare to have any rebuttal, and bowing his head and begging for mercy was the wisest choice at the moment.
"It's a pity, it's too late!" said Charana as she pulled out the blade that had been nailed into the bed.
She aimed at the boy's eyeball and was about to pierce it.
"Knock knock. ”
At this time, there was a sharp knock at the door.
"You're in luck. She glared at the hapless duke viciously, and went to open the wooden door.
By the way, the short knife nailed to the door panel was removed.
She had more than one knife in her hand.
"Big sister, no, Jason's gang is here to find fault again. A little fat man staggered in.
One didn't stand still, and he nearly fell to the ground.
"Alas, is that the little brother who was rescued by the eldest sister? Hello, I'm Fante. The little fat man greeted Lin Ye from a distance.
He is about fourteen or fifteen years old, short in stature, probably only about 1.5 meters, but his weight is at least 200 pounds.
Because he was so fat, his eyes looked the size of soybeans.
"Hello, my name is Link. The duke walked to the door and smiled in response.
Aside from the fact that he was still relatively weak, he had no other problems.
"Jason, where are they?" said Charana, frowning, visibly disgusted by the name.
"At the entrance of the village, everyone is waiting for you to come and decide. The little fat man pointed to the right.
Lin Ye looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a faint light of fire.
"I'll go over now, you wait a minute. She glanced blankly at Lin Ye, who was standing next to her.
Lin Ye smiled awkwardly.
But she kicked him out unceremoniously, then slammed the door shut.
"Link, you seem to have a good relationship with your eldest sister. The little fat man Fant said with some envy.
"Didn't you see me kicked out by her?
This woman didn't have any affection for her feet.
"Sister Charana is usually not so rude to people, and only if she has a particularly good relationship with her can she have this kind of treatment. Fant said seriously.
"Then I really feel honored, by the way, what are you talking about Jason?" Lin Ye asked curiously.
No matter what Xia Lana does to him, after all, he has let his family save him, and now that he heard that others are in trouble, he should ask about it.
"Jason is a fishmonger in the market, buying fresh fish from our fishing village and selling it to the dignitaries in the city. ”
"In the city, what kind of place is this, is it the territory of some nobleman under the rule of the Empire?" Lin Ye interrupted Vant's words and asked.
He had to figure out where he was, or he wouldn't even know which direction the Blackfire Castle was in.
"Empire? Are you talking about the Lionheart Empire? We are not the territory of the Lionheart Empire, we are an island in the East China Sea, a "Free State". Fant explained carefully.
East China Sea Free State?
Lin Ye quickly searched for these two concepts in his mind, and the Middle East Sea was one of the "Seven Seas" recorded on the map.
It is a rich and narrow sea.
Due to the lack of effective maps, he was unable to know the specific geography and structure of the East China Sea.
After all, in this era, there is no Magellan who surrounds the world, and people's perception of the world is mainly focused on the land.
However, what made Lin Ye concerned was that the abandoned port about 40 kilometers away from the Black Fire Castle should be the northernmost point of the East China Sea.
The ghost ship he and Black Hitomi were on traveled all the way north, and finally returned to the East China Sea for some reason.
The Free States, on the other hand, were an administrative system that was not subject to the central authority of the Empire.
This kind of area is widespread even in the Miracle Continent, and is mainly located in the neutral area where the two countries meet.
The Free State acts as a trade and strategic buffer.
Lin Ye read some books in the library of the Black Fire Castle that said that the system of the Free State was absorbed from overseas.
It is recorded that there are many islands outside the mainland, and the islands near the mainland are naturally controlled by neighboring countries.
But the islands far away from the mainland are independent of the control of the Miracle Continent.
They were active in overseas trade, and some of the powerful free states were like small independent kingdoms!
"So I drifted to a free state in the East China Sea?" Lin Ye cleared up some clues.
At this time, Xia Lana had already changed her clothes and came out.
She inserted two short knives into her waist on both sides, and she was in a heroic posture.
"Let's go!"
