Section 39 Midway

In the vast sea, the waves rise and fall with the breeze, and some floating creatures are swept in from time to time. The skua gulls, which had fled in panic before the storm, came out of nowhere at this moment, showing their vigorous posture around the big boat, greedily catching the fish around the big boat.

In the distance, the sky seems to be dyed blue by the endless sea, and in the distance, the sky and the sea gradually merge into one, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

The boys were bored, and the group stood on the deck in a daze watching the tragedy of the fish. It's strange to say that Niu Er, who seems to be the strongest in the team, is actually quite sensitive to the sea. Since the day I got on the boat, I have been throwing up non-stop. In a few days, there was less in and more out, and the body size was completely reduced. This thing, which rarely felt dizziness when pouring alcohol, was addicted to it on the big ship. Let this nine-foot-tall man cry out that he can't stand it!

According to Fei'er's little gossip, this thing couldn't help it two days ago, and secretly asked his iron buddy drinking buddy Rose if he had any knack for riding a boat like a flat ground. Rose spread his hands innocently, and could only dryly express his deep sympathy for the goods. Dare Rose is short in stature and happens to have a low center of gravity, and has a natural resistance to this novel experience of swaying from side to side. This is a unique talent of the dwarf race, and Niu Er can't learn it if he wants to, so he has to continue his retching career. This gave Blue Feng a big headache, and the gold coins he spent on the boat every day were not worth it.

Of course, according to the hints of evolution, we know this inevitable consequence of the survival of the fittest. In order to continue to maintain its title of the king of big stomachs, this product has overcome many difficulties in just three days. It's still far from normal, but it's a great step forward.

No, maybe it was because the storm was too violent yesterday, and Niu Er, who had been playing with the pirate ship for a few hours, seemed to have completely adapted to the bumps in the sea all of a sudden. Today, my mind is still uncomfortable, but at least I don't need to make that maddening retching sound. No, the thing was now lying upright on the weather-washed deck like a dead pig, comfortably enjoying the sun after the rain, and snorting from time to time.

"Land, Big Island! Midway has arrived!"

The sailors on the lookout shouted this message, and cheers rang out from the deck. Although they have sailed this route many times, it is an exaggeration to say that the ship can be driven here with their eyes closed. But after the storm, the sailors who survived the catastrophe could not contain the joy of the imminent landing.

The first mate measured the downwind and issued a loud command. The sailors on deck hurriedly went about their duties, and the full sail of the Mayflower began to sail at full speed. After a while, on the sea level where water and sky are connected, a wisp of green horns full of vitality suddenly jumped into everyone's eyes. As everyone knows, this is the highest mountain on the island. Sure enough, as the ship moved forward, an island surrounded by verdant greenery was finally fully revealed.

โ€”โ€”

The Mayflower slowly sailed into the harbor, found a vacant spot, and anchored under the command of the dock guide.

The sailors carried a dozen large boxes and dozens of baskets full of fruits and vegetables off the deck. Negotiate with the long-awaited merchant on the dock to set the price and hand over the goods.

The group stepped down the deck to the dock, looking curiously at the strange island.

A 50-metre-long wooden tunnel runs from the island to the pier, connecting the deep-water port to the coast. Two hundred meters to the left and right of the pier, the shore is covered with large and messy reefs, interspersed with roads that have been planned and repaired by the island's residents. Deep holes have been dug under the boulders, and I don't know whether they are used to cool off or to hold goods. Some small monsters unique to the island haunt from time to time, and they do not panic when they meet people, and sometimes they will snatch food from passers-by, which makes people quite helpless. Nature and man get along so harmoniously here.

The reef pier is surrounded by golden sandy beaches. Under the sunlight, it reflects the brilliance of gold, and it is so dazzling that people can hardly open their eyes. Fifty meters away from the beach, a large coconut grove is dotted in between. With some tropical islands unique to the trees, the island is dotted with lush greenery, which is not pleasant.

On the busy docks, some eccentrics unheard of elsewhere walk by from time to time. Among them, there are beautiful mermaids, turtle people who only move one step in half a day, conch people who move companies, shrimp people with hideous faces, and crab people who walk strangely and are domineering. Strange and all-encompassing. The teenagers were dumbfounded, and they only felt that their eyes were a little insufficient.

"Boys, don't run around, you don't know the rules here, and you're in trouble. When the old man takes care of these supplies, I will take you ashore for a walk. โ€

Homan's words froze the few people who were about to go ashore and wander around. Indeed, there are many differences between this place and the Moose continent, and who knows what taboos and rules there are. Although there is a saying that it is not a raptor but not a river, there is also a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Since everyone thinks that they are not strong dragons, at least not for now, it is better to abide by the rules. Don't get into unnecessary trouble when you get it!

โ€”โ€”

Homan is a veteran. In less than a quarter of an hour, the supply was negotiated. The group was told that they would stay on the island for a day to adjust to their depression after the storm. The crowd happily responded, and then scattered in a hurry. In pairs, the old horses walked towards their favorite places of venting.

Hรถrman slowly approached the boys with his yellowed sea willow pipe in his mouth. Glancing at everyone, he grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"Boys, good along the way. Except for a silver spear candle head...... All of them are good, and there is not a single bad seed. โ€

Homan wanted to show off in front of a group of juniors, but as soon as he said a few words, he realized that something was wrong. secretly glanced at Niu Er, who had recovered and was so angry that his mouth and nose were smoking, and quickly changed his words and went along.

When everyone saw Huo Man's deflated appearance, their little faces were flushed, and their facial muscles kept twitching, and they seemed to be very uncomfortable, which made Huo Man, who was still showing off, quite embarrassed.

"Uncle Huo, may I ask what is the origin of this island, and what are the taboos on walking on the island? โ€

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Fei'er resisted the urge to laugh, and hurriedly gave this stubborn man with a face full of vicissitudes and a grandfather-level donkey.

In the past few days, in the conversation with the sailors on the ship, everyone was surprised to find that this uncle with a grandfather-like face was actually not old, at best only forty-five or sixteen. It's just that he has been adrift at sea all year round and is a little old. In addition, acquaintances like to brush this point. So Old Man Huo, Old Man Huo called out. In the long run, not many people remember the real age of the uncle. Although he argued several times, he was regarded as a joke by everyone. The real version was tragic!

Seeing that this doll was so knowledgeable, Hรถrman smiled and pretended to stroke the hair under his chin, and said with a cheap face.

"This island is called Midway. It is named after its location in the middle of the Free Sea, in the middle of the sea from the Mercenary City to the eastern part of the Moose Continent.

This large island was a supply port that the mercenary city had to pass through on the way to Xi'an. The islands are the only settlements of the Sea Tribes in the Free Sea. There are thousands of amphibians living on the island, and as long as they can breathe on land, they can be found here. โ€

"The habitat of the Sea Clan, then how can I see so many humans in the port?" Niu Er was very upset when he saw that it began to be crooked. asked without a head, and was immediately met with a bunch of blank eyes.

"Midway, as the only terrestrial habitat of the Sea Tribes in the Free Sea, is recognized and protected by all Sea Tribes. If the Sea Clan does not make trouble, and who dares to infringe on the dignity of the Sea Clan on the island, it will definitely be attacked by the entire Sea Clan.

Of course, the unique geographical location also brings it a lot of wealth. Midway Island is an important port for sea supply, and many merchants travel to and from it. Not only did they coexist peacefully with the Sea Clan, but they also amassed great wealth through exchange. And the Sea Tribes also benefit from it. This led to a gradual increase in the number of Terrans here.

They not only meet the material needs of the sea tribes, but also provide various services to the ship-traveling merchants. Of course, they themselves also make a lot of money. Huo Man looked at the embarrassed Niu Er with a smirk. Sample, you want to pick a thorn with me, you're still a little tender!

"I see, they're all money junkies. Niu Er snorted angrily for a while, then stopped and said no more. He didn't want to continue to make a fool of himself.

"On the island, you don't shy away from encountering Terrans. But if you come across a sea tribe, it's best not to laugh at their looks. It is said that there was a fool who mocked a shrimp man, and half a month later it was discovered that the boat he was riding in was divided into countless pieces in a very regular manner. The body of the troublemaker has not been found. โ€

Probably worried that the young men would get into trouble for themselves, Homan spoke earnestly about the island's avoidance.

"Also, when you go to a restaurant of the Sea Clan, you should also be careful not to order dishes from the same clan when ordering. For example, don't fry shrimp with salt and pepper in front of the shrimp people. Don't order ginger and scallion crab in front of the crab people. Otherwise, you will die as far as you want. Did you hear it clearly!" Speaking of Zuihou, Homan almost shouted.

"Hear me clearly!" seemed to be infected by Homan's near-hysterical roar, and the chickens nodded their heads wildly like pecks of rice.

"Now that it's clear, let's go ashore with me, and make a place to stay before making plans. I inquired just now, there is a night market on the east side of the island tonight, if you are interested, you can go shopping.

Of course, there's nothing new about this night market, it's just entertainment, and you don't have to expect anything. If you want to get a treasure, there are a lot of Midway auctions starting on Tomorrow Island. If you're willing to spend money, even if you buy a few beautiful mermaids and raise them!"

Huo Man said happily. Looking like that, it seems that he has been immersed in sexual immorality. I don't know if it's the little mermaid who is thinking about that family. Anyway, he looks lewd, and even his mouth is about to crack to the back of his head.

The teenagers were sweating profusely, looking at the cowman in front of them who was laughing so much that his head was almost touching his buttocks, and the black line on one end.

Sure enough, it's a strange Shu millet, absolutely how far away to hide!
