The opening kaleidoscope writing wheel eye: the war on the top

Chapter 482 Teach a Man to Fish
This time I go to the lair of sand thieves, you are not allowed to conflict with Lasha, we are asking for help from others, you..."

Jessica flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly, "How could it be? Am I a person who doesn't know the general idea?"

Hanan's expression softened, and he said, "I just reminded you, so tell me, do you have any good ideas?"

"As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. In my opinion, it is better to take away the person who taught him."

Hanan's eyes lit up, "You mean, Saba? Or Lasha?"

Jessica smiled sweetly: "That's right, think about it, this sailing technique is so difficult, Saba has taught everyone, but no one has learned it, even if you go to the sand thief's lair, how much will it take to master it completely?" time?
Why not just take people away and have one more sailor who is proficient in technology?And if you have a master by your side, it's easy to learn, don't you think? "

Yu Nan slapped her thigh and said excitedly: "Why didn't I think of that? Jessica, you have such a good little head."

Jessica's smile gradually disappeared, and her voice became flat: "Really? The 'prophet' Hanan, who knows things like a god, unexpectedly has unexpected things!

There are only a few masters of the Sand Pirates, and I guess they can only take one person away at most. If I had to choose, the beauty Lhasa is the best. Not only is she beautiful, but it can also make you, captain, feel better! "

Yu Nan rubbed his hands and said: "Yes, yes, she is also strong in yarn-pulling martial arts and has the highest level of sailing. It would be the best if she joins. I have to think about this carefully. What method should I use?~~ ~~! Jessica, why did you step on me? "

Jessica's face was livid, and she didn't answer, she stepped on her foot again, while Hanan was holding her right foot and jumping straight up, shouting: "Come again?! Were you all right just now? You damn girl! What are you getting out of your nerves?" , don't stop, you!"

With a bang, Jessica's foot fell into the air, but she was full of strength, and the movement was not small, and the hull of the ship trembled a few times.

Joe looked down from the watchtower suspiciously, and Harvey pushed open the cabin door and looked around: "Hey, it's not windy!"

Ah Jin, who was at the helm, poked half his head out from the cockpit, and Carmen in the galley also came out in a panic, asking Butch what was going on, but Butch smiled silly and pointed at the two people at the bow.

Everyone looked over suspiciously.

Jessica made a small face, and shouted at everyone: "It's all right? Ah Jin, who is responsible for the wrong direction? Joe, what should we do if the enemy is coming?
Carmen, is lunch ready?Butch, have you learned how to sail?And you, Harvey, well, go back when you have nothing to do, what are you looking at! "

The partners didn't understand what was going on with Jessica's anger. They looked at each other, and Jessica cursed again, and they all fell silent, and disappeared from Jessica's sight as if fleeing.

Only Saba stared at Jessica blankly. He really didn't expect that this beautiful female navigator would have such power when she got angry, and she was a bit stronger than Lasha, who was known as the tigress. .

"And you! Saba, no one can teach you how many times, why hasn't Butch learned it yet?"

As soon as Saba heard that the firepower was transferred to him, he reacted quickly, and immediately jumped to Butch, "Butch, let me explain to you the sail-moving technique, it's like this..."

Butch smiled silly, sneaking glances at the bow of the ship from time to time, Hanan still had a bewildered expression.

Butch shook his head, with a rare shrewd smile on his face, and muttered to himself, "Captain, captain, you are still a prophet in vain. You can't even understand this. I, fat Butch, guessed it. Jessica must be a relative." Oh, oh, what a fool!"

As the Great Eagle sailed westward, the coast was deserted, and there were endless hills and hills formed by loess layers and rocks.

Until the afternoon, when the coastline in front suddenly sunken, Saba jumped down from the mainmast and shouted excitedly: "Captain Hanan, the mouth of the Santo River has arrived!"

The Santo River, the largest river on Sentin Island, has existed since ancient times and has lasted for thousands of years.

The Santo River originates from the largest Nile Plateau in the northern part of Santiago Island and flows into the great sea route from north to south. Since ancient times, it has nourished this arid continent, bred countless lives, and witnessed the establishment and rise and fall of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Looking up, Hanan did not remember the magnificent scene of the big river rushing into the sea. Although the water surface is wide, the water flow is very gentle. He asked Saba strangely: "Santo River has a famous name, but it looks like this unexpectedly."

Saba sighed and said, "It wasn't like this. In the past few years, the whole country of Alabasta has not seen a drop of water, and there are frequent desert storms. The water volume of the Santo River has been decreasing year by year.

Especially in the downstream, it has been eroded by a lot of sea water. The rivers we see now are actually sea water. "

The Great Eagle followed the channel and sailed north along the west bank of the Santo River. On the shore, trees were dead, loess and gravel were everywhere, and there was no sign of life as far as the eye could see.

Under Saba's guidance, the Great Eagle gradually slowed down because the water level receded and some gray-brown rocks poked out. If you are not careful, you will hit it.

Except Akin at the helm, everyone gathered on the deck. Butch stood on the port side and looked around. The river was extremely wide. He touched his forehead and sighed: "This is a river? If you can't see the river bank, I thought it was the sea!”

"It used to be wider than this." Saba shook his head with emotion, then turned to Hanan and said, "Captain Hanan, now you have two choices, either go northwards all the way by water, or stay in 'Ailuma' Go ashore."

"What's the difference?"

"The speed of walking by water is a little slower. The base of 'Balu Balu' is inland, and after landing, it will cross a large desert area."

Hanan thought for a while, then asked Saba, "Where are your people going to meet you?"

"I didn't confirm the itinerary before. I contacted the head of the group, and he arranged people in both places."

Jessica was still worried about Weiwei, looked down at the map in her hand, and asked eagerly: "If you want to go to Yuba, how can you go more conveniently?"

"Then it's best to choose the route of Aluma. Yuba City is far away from the river bank. It will take more time to wait until you get to the bank and then walk."

The Great Eagle sailed about ten kilometers north, turned west, and entered a tributary of the Santo River. Soon, he saw an abandoned dock. As soon as Saba got off the boat, he hurriedly led everyone to Eluma.

As a small town, Aluma is an important port city along the Santo River. It was prosperous a few years ago, but with the erosion of sea water, the river water was replaced by sea water, completely losing its source of fresh water, and it has now become a ruin.

Close to the town, there is actually a large cemetery with many crosses in it. When Hanan and others passed by, they startled a group of rotting birds, as if they were looking for food. Hanan took a quick glance and saw several white bones exposed on the ground.
