Chapter Seventy-Two: Encountering a Tsunami
On Mick Island, Joshua and his party were resting on the island with members of Roger's pirate group. Vincent and Joey sailed away to return the civilians captured by the Blue Dragon Knights to their destination. The rest lit a bonfire by the beach and set up a simple celebratory dinner.
Due to the isolation of the island, everyone did not have any other ingredients on hand, mainly fishing for fish and shellfish from the sea. In addition, the Blue Dragon Knights had left some jerky meat, vegetables, and fruits in the mine canteen, as well as the coconuts grown in the coconut groves on the island, to form tonight's feast. Everyone sits around the campfire and grills a variety of ingredients, including herring, hairtail, lobster and eel, as well as some octopus, crab and mussels. Nana was also roasting a starfish with a knife on the side.
"Fortunately, there is some red wine in the cafeteria, how can we do without wine at the celebration party?" Morey picked up a bowl and poured the wine inside, "Everyone have a few drinks tonight, we have to leave here tomorrow afternoon." The boss told us not to stay on the island for too long. After all, this is an isolated island, and it will be troublesome in case it is surrounded by enemies"
"I don't know if the damaged Golden Dragon Knight Badge can be restored. Geraint held the badge in his hand and carefully examined the cracks on the badge, "Thanks to this sacred badge this time, we can save the day many times." ”
"Bastard, you're stealing from me again!" Suddenly, there was a frolicking sound not far away. Hanal and Joshua chased and fought through the crowd. Joshua also held a skewer of charred herring in his hand, nibbling on it as he ran. "This fish was originally put on the grill, I see that no one will take it and eat it by myself, who wants to steal you!"
"I grilled this fish, huh!"
"Hey, you ate so much in the cafeteria yesterday, you can rest today. Besides, I'm a boy, and now that I'm growing up, I should eat more nutritious things. Joshua dangled the grilled fish in front of Hernar's eyes.
"Who said that we girls don't grow bodies? I'm also growing up now, and I've been abused by those bastards in the cafeteria before, what's wrong with me stealing something?" Heinal shouted at Joshua with his hands on his hips.
"What kind of body do you have?" said Joshua, "Uncle Geraint told me that in a year and a half I will be taller than all of you girls. Joshua gestured his height from his head with his hands.
"Hmph! My mother said that girls on our southern islands generally mature at this age. "I just need to eat more." ”
"Really?" Joshua suddenly looked at Henar carefully, and soon his gaze shifted to Heinal's chest, "You can't say it's a little different from ordinary little girls. ”
"Damn it, what are you looking at?" Hainal noticed that Joshua's eyes were very wrong, and suddenly realized something.
"Hey, that's a bit of a surprise, not any smaller than the grown-ups!" Joshua didn't seem to hear what Henar was saying.
"Bastard!" said Henal, blushing, picking up a coconut shell from the ground and throwing it at Joshua.
"Oops, something hurts!" the coconut shell slammed into Joshua's head impartially.
"Hmph, tell you to stare at Miss Ben again!" said Hernar, clapping her hand and pouting.
"You humanoid female tyrannosaurus, I see which man would marry you in the future!" Joshua stuck out his tongue at Hernar.
"The Boss is back! the Boss is back!" Suddenly several pirates saw Roger's figure.
"Hey, boss, where did you go all the way and what did you do after that?" Morey smiled at Roger, "You came to meet everyone so late." ”
"I'm fine!" Roger laughed, "and I can almost tell who instructed the Blue Dragon Knights to rob the civilians who passed by." I knew Miranda couldn't have done such a thing. ”
"But who else but Miranda has the right to order a figure like Zhang and Rogge to come to the island?" Morey wondered.
"The Blue Dragon Knights transferred a deputy head a few years ago. According to Miranda, the man's identity is rather mysterious, and people are used to calling him the Blue Ghost. And he's so good at magic that I'm sure he must have been one of Parsa's henchmen. Roger said.
"Mistress Roger, you're saying that all of this on the island is most likely instructed by this blue ghost. Geraint also appeared in front of the group at this time.
"That's right! We've been on a par with the Blue Dragon Knights at sea all these years, but this guy hasn't been seen. Now that his tentacles are beginning to extend to the sea, we will encounter a rather difficult enemy in the future. Roger said solemnly.
"Blue Ghost, let me see what kind of character he is. Avril was thoughtful.
"By the way, Knight Geraint, you Weishenme will be caught on the island by them?" Roger suddenly remembered a most critical question, "Why don't you stay in Mallory and go to sea?"
"We have received a letter from the Flame Realm's Eka Clan Patriarch, the Firefiend Frem Ekka. In the letter, he mentioned that the Red Dragon Knights had recently suspended their repression operations and were secretly moving their troops frequently. However, Mount Isaro, the largest magical volcano in the Gaia continent, has not erupted for 20 years, but recently it often emits white smoke and shakes the ground, which makes it feel very unusual. "He wants us to go over and investigate together and help them defeat the Red Dragon Knights and reclaim Flame City." ”
"I see. Roger nodded, "Then I'll arrange for a small fishing boat to take you to Port Dolly tomorrow." It was very close to Barneysport, where the main naval force of the Blue Dragon Knights was stationed, and it was not easy for my large army to get through. I'll send someone to help you and Mistress Aika when I get the chance. But you've brought out Prince Bixia and Lord Haig's daughters, and this journey must be full of dangers. ”
"As a knight, I will keep my vow to keep Prince Bixia with me until the time of my death. And Prince Bixia should also have more experience in battle. "As for the daughter of Lord Haig......"
"Haha, you don't need to say it, I seem to have understood!" Roger Daxiao, "it must have been sneaking out again." ”
"I wanted you to take her back, but I'm sure she'll find another chance to sneak out when she looks like this. I'd better take her with me! Speak to Master Haig for me!" said Geraint.
"Alright then, we'll leave together tomorrow. I can help you get to the northwest of the Miro Sea, and you'll have to be careful for the rest of the journey. Roger said.
At noon the next day, Joshua and his party boarded a small fishing boat prepared by Roger and set off for Port Dolly. The ships of the Roger Pirates escorted them to the northwest of the Miro Sea before leaving. The fishing boat carried Joshua and his party towards their destination. He was accompanied by some of the previously disguised Jungle Ranger and Mallory Wardrobes.
"Yo-hea, it's been a long time since I've breathed fresh sea air!" Joshua cheered from the bow of the ship.
"Sit tight, Joshua. How many times do you want me to tell you, we are on a fishing boat, not a war boat, be careful of falling into the sea. Geraint's brow furrowed.
"Haha, it's okay! We should be there soon, right? I can almost see land with my binoculars. Joshua waved at Geraint.
"From the map, we should be less than 10 nautical miles from Port Dolly. I hope everything goes smoothly and there are no more surprises!" said Geraint, looking at the nautical charts in his hand.
Suddenly, the sea began to roll violently, and the sky began to darken. "Uncle Geraint, what's going on?" Joshua hurried away from the bow of the ship.
"Oh no!" Geraint suddenly exclaimed, "we may have a tsunami!"
"Goddess of Light, is my good luck coming to an end?" Joshua showed a sad expression, "I really have to pay it back!"
