Chapter Ninety-Nine: Chartering a Boat

Lin Qing didn't figure it out until he fell asleep.

Dr. Ohki's summer camp lasted about a week, and the main activities were to help the children who came to the camp to better understand and accept the magical creatures of elves.

In addition to carrying out some elf-related field activities, the summer camp also included a classroom lecture on elf knowledge by Dr. Ohki, and an explanation of elf cultivation knowledge with Lin Qing as the main speaker.

Because he heard that Lin Qing was aiming for the Elf Gorgeous Competition, and Masano was moving towards the Gym Tournament and the Alliance Conference, Dr. Oki also asked the two of them to show the children an elf performance and elf battle from the perspective of a coordination trainer and an ordinary elf trainer respectively.

After the summer camp activities were over, Lin Qing and the three of them said goodbye to Dr. Ohki.

Zhenxin Town is not far from Binu City, and it is basically less than half a day's walk.

If the city of Rampurchi is a seaside resort on the eastern coast of the Kanto region, Binu is a seaside tourist attraction in the southwest of the Kanto region.

There is a research institute of Dr. Mori Nishino, an authority in the field of elves and one of the inventors of the elf illustrated book.

It is also the southern gate of the Kanto area, and you can take a communication boat to the islands in the southern part of the Kanto area, as well as a ship to other places.

In the original anime, it was here that Ash took a boat to Fangyuan.

Before setting off from Zhenxin Town, Lin Qing booked a ferry ticket and a room at the hot spring hotel on Honglian Island in advance.

However, unfortunately among the three this time, the person who led the way with a map turned out to be Elena! Z.br>

By the time Lin Qing reacted, it was too late, and they shuttled back and forth between the woods and the road many times, and finally managed to spin in place for more than two hours.

"Oh my God! Elena, why are you leading the way?!" Lin Qing snatched the map from Elena's hand with a broken face.

Elena looked dazed: "I didn't lead the way, I was just looking at the map, and I still followed you."

Elena's answer made Lin Qing speechless, and looked at Zhengye, who was silent and cold, and looked at Zhengye, who was silent and cold, Lin Qing could only shake his head helplessly and sigh.

Good guys, it turns out that the three of them wandered aimlessly all morning.

"It's over, we won't be able to catch the communication ship to Red Lotus Island at six o'clock tonight."

"Why do you have to book your ferry ticket before you leave?" Elena was puzzled and said, "If you can't make it, let's stay in Binu City for one night."

"Not only did I book the ferry tickets in advance, but I also had a hotel on Red Lotus Island...... Lin Qing began to explain to Elena.

The boat from Binu City to Red Lotus Island only runs at 6 p.m. the day, and if you miss this one, you will have to wait for the 6 p.m. boat the next day.

However, the key important thing is not the communication boat ticket from Binu City to Red Lotus Island, but the hotel on Red Lotus Island.

Fire Lotus Island was famous for its volcanic environment a long time ago, because the special environment was very suitable for the cultivation of some elves, attracting many strong elf trainers to come.

And because there are many powerful elf trainers gathered, and more trainers are attracted to come here to learn and practice, so Red Lotus Island has been known as a resort for elf trainers for a long time in the past.

However, in recent years, the volcanic hot springs of Honglian Island have been discovered, and Honglian Island has gradually become a hot spring tourist resort.

Hot springs, seasides and sandy beaches have skyrocketed the island's tourism value, and more and more tourists are visiting the island, so much so that the island's hotels and homestays are almost always full.

There is no way to book a room in hotels and B&Bs, and the number of elf trainers who come to Red Lotus Island to practice has gradually decreased, and Red Lotus Island has gradually begun to completely become a tourist island.

In the TV animation of the previous life, Xia Bo, the owner of the Red Lotus Gym, simply closed the Red Lotus Gym because of the tourists who came to the island, and often challenged the gym with a playful mentality.

Now, Xia Bo in this world has not closed the Dao Pavilion, so the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion

I was still able to find it before, but because of the high difficulty of the problem, it is not easy to get a trip to Red Lotus Island, hotel accommodation or something, and most trainers will not choose to get eight badges through the Red Lotus Gym.

This time to book a hotel, Lin Qing squatted on the Internet for a long time, and finally booked three rooms, if they missed the check-in time they had previously booked, it would be even more difficult to book a hotel or homestay.

Hotels and B&Bs on Red Lotus Island are really hard to book.

"What then?!" After listening to Lin Qing's explanation, Elena also realized the seriousness of the problem.

There was no way, although it took a lot of time because of wandering around, Lin Qing, Elena and Masano could only rush to Binu City non-stop.

I hope I can catch the communication ship that leads to Red Lotus Island.

In summer, the daylight hours are longer, and even at six o'clock in the evening, the sun has not yet completely set in the sky, and it still hangs at the westernmost end, exuding an orange-red glow.

In the distance, a communication ship bound for Red Lotus Island was leaving the port.

"Hey! Here, there are still people who have not boarded the boat!"

Elena looked at the departing ship and could only cry out in despair.

"......"

Lin Qing also helplessly held on to the trunk of the tree next to him and gasped, they had been running wildly since the beginning, but even then they didn't catch up with the boat bound for Red Lotus Island.

"Now...... What should I do?" Elena was also so tired that she collapsed to the ground.

"What else can I do, I can only wait for the next communication ship. Then go to Red Lotus Island and camp outside."

Lin Qing said that it sounds like camping, but in fact, it is just sleeping on the streets or in parks.

When Elena heard that she could only sleep on the streets again, she brushed her hair in frustration.

Lin Qing has no choice, and he doesn't have an elf in his hand that can make them drift across the sea, if his hack dragon evolves into a fast dragon, he can let the fast dragon carry everyone over.

Just when Lin Qing and Elena were at a loss, Masano spoke, "You can go and rent a boat."

As he spoke, Masano pointed to some small fishing boats and speedboats parked on the shore not far from the harbor in the distance.

Masano's reminder opened Lin Qing's mind, he hadn't thought of renting a boat before.

Since you have to rent a boat, you still have to choose a serious boat leasing company to rent it, and the kind of small fishing boat that doesn't look very regular is not within Lin Qing's choice.

After all, it is going to sea to Red Lotus Island, and the ship must still have a certain degree of solidity and safety, otherwise the scene of this kind of small boat swaying and drifting with the wind and waves in the deep sea area makes Lin Qing feel very dangerous when he thinks about it.

The three of them rented a small white speedboat that looked good, and as for driving a speedboat, of course, it was handed over to our omnipotent Zhengye, anyway, Lin Qing wouldn't drive this thing at all.

Although it was not early, the feeling of driving a small speedboat over the sea was still refreshing.

"Oh!" Because the speed of the speedboat is very fast, the wind felt is quite strong.

"How long will it take us to get to Red Lotus Island?" Elena asked.

At present, the one holding the map is already Zhengye, and the speedboat is also driven by Zhengye, so Lin Qing basically doesn't have to worry about getting lost anymore.

After looking at the current speed of the speedboat, combined with the distance from the port of Binu City to Honglian Island, Lin Qing made a simple calculation:

"At the current rate, if all goes well, we should be able to reach Red Lotus Island before the sun rises."

Elena nodded when she heard this, and it was okay.

Tonight, Lin Qing and Elena are not going to sleep, after all, Masano is driving a speedboat so hard here, and it is not good to sleep here.

The three of them can talk or something together, although there is no such thing as fatigue driving at sea in this world, and some dangers at sea mainly come from the elves in the sea, but they can't drive the boat with their eyes completely closed.

It was getting dark, and the air was getting a little cold.

Lin Qing pressed the button and stretched out the originally open roof of the dinghy again, and the originally open runabout was now closed.

When night falls, under the black night, the enclosed dinghy with white lights on the huge and wide sea surface is quite safe.

Elena agrees: "On the calm sea, in the cabin of an enclosed dinghy, it feels really good."

Here, not long after Lin Qing and Elena were quiet, there was a reminder from Zhengye over there, and this quiet and beautiful atmosphere is estimated to not be enjoyed for long:

"This weather looks like it's going to be stormy......

"How so?" Elena looked up at the sky that was still relatively clear, with only a few clouds in the distance and the quiet sea, "With such a calm sea, it doesn't seem like there is a rhythm of a storm, right?"

After Lin Qing heard Zhengye's words, he couldn't help but become serious: "This sea is indeed very calm, but it is a little too calm."

Lin Qing opened the window next to him a little and stretched his head out, the sea was quiet, but the air was not as refreshing as before, but it felt quite oppressive.

The oppressive and dreary air, the overly quiet sea, is indeed a bit like a precursor to a storm.

Lin Qing said his speculation, and Zhengye nodded after listening: "That's right, that's it. Looks like this storm should be a big one."

"Huh? What should I do?"

The feeling of tranquility and safety in the cabin of the dinghy was swept away, and such a dinghy could not withstand the storm at all, and would be easily swept into the sea by the fierce waves.

Elena also opened the window and looked into the distance, "There are no passing ships in the vicinity, and I can't even find a rescue if I want to call for help, what can I do?"

"Go here." Masano stretched out his hand and pointed to a spot on the map in front of the driver's seat.

"Here?"

Lin Qing looked over, and the location that Zhengye pointed to seemed to be a small island.

Indeed, if you can stay on the island for a while, and wait for the storm to pass before continuing to move towards Red Lotus Island, it will be much safer.

"It's probably how far from here." Lin Qing asked.

"At maximum speed, it will take about thirty minutes."
