Pirate's Body Technique Potential
Chapter 243 The White Town
on the coast of the Frevers.
A lighthouse stands tall there.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the person guarding the lighthouse was leaning on a chair on the observation deck of the tower. It could be seen that he was no longer young, and he was an old man with a gray beard.
But his face looked a little pale, even his lips were chapped, and he could see a kettle lying on the ground, but there was no water left.
The old man came to his senses. At this moment, he lowered his head and glanced at his abdomen. There was an obvious gunshot wound there. The wound had deteriorated, but he just wrapped it with some cloth strips indiscriminately.
Perhaps because he felt that his physical condition was already very bad, the old man wanted to move, but his legs were no longer in control.
He remembered the situation when he was wounded by a gun, and he couldn't help closing his eyes, with a look of despair.
Opening his eyes again, he looked at a copper telescope on the table in front of him. It seemed that it had been used for many years, and the surface had been polished very smooth.
Looking at the telescope, the old man couldn't help falling into memories.
"Leonard, you are looking at the sea again"
In a town, a woman grabbed a little boy by the ear with a look of reproach on her face.
The residents who passed by saw this scene, as if they had seen it many times, they just smiled lightly.
They knew that this kid named Leonard only liked to stare at the sea in a daze, so everyone felt that he was out of place with other kids.
The other children didn't like to play with him either, but Leonard didn't care about it, and he had never seen him play with other children.
And his mother, who was this woman, would be able to guess it every time Leonard couldn't be found.
Leonard definitely went to see the sea.
"You watch it every day, don't you get enough? What are you thinking in your head?"
The woman finally pulled Leonard's ear fiercely, and then glared at him angrily as if she hated iron for steel.
Leonard didn't cry, he just covered his ears, smiled and said to his mother: "I must go to sea when I grow up."
The surrounding residents burst into laughter when they heard it, but it wasn't that kind of ridicule, but a friendly smile similar to that of a neighbor.
"Good Leonard, promising."
"Aren't you satisfied with the life of going to sea in Frevans?"
Various words entered Leonard's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to them, and only listened to them as a joke, because in his heart, this was his dream.
On the white Frevans, on the white coast, there is only one blue-black lighthouse standing, but it seems a bit out of place.
But people know that the lighthouse has been there for a long time, and it was formed by the wind and rain.
Leonard likes to sit by the white coast, on the edge of a protruding cliff, looking at the sea, his mind is full of imaginations about life in the sea.
He can often sit here for a whole day, unwilling to leave until nightfall.
Because he feels that no matter it is the sea during the day or the sea at night, they all have their own charms.
Until one day, he was sitting blankly by the sea, when a voice came from the sky.
He was startled at first, but when he looked up at the sky, he saw nothing but an endless blue sky.
"Hi, I'm here."
The voice sounded again, and Leonard finally discovered that the speaker was at the lookout on the lighthouse, sticking his head out to look at Leonard.
Leonard looked around, only to find that no one else was around, so he was sure that the old man was calling him.
"I didn't lock the door, remember to lock the latch when you come in."
Leonard was about to move forward but stopped again, lost in thought.
He had wanted to go to the lighthouse to take a look before, because he thought the view above was very broad and it would be the best place to see the sea, but should I go up there?
He heard a lot of people say that the person in the lighthouse is a weird person who can eat children and so on. Although he took it as a joke at the time, he is a little scared now.
But there is a restlessness in my heart, I really want to go to the top to have a look.
Finally, I couldn't help but entered the lighthouse.
This time, it almost decided the decision of his life.
From then on, the old man who kept the lighthouse became his best friend until the day he was 16 years old.
As usual, when he came to the lighthouse, he saw a group of people gathered under the lighthouse, as if something had happened.
He walked over curiously, and when the people present saw him coming, they actually gave way to him.
He walked to the lighthouse and found the old grandfather lying on the bed, with a kind expression on his face no different from usual, but
Grandpa has passed away in his sleep.
Leonard knelt down beside the bed with a plop, and his mind went blank for a moment.
The mayor gave him a letter and a telescope, and after comforting him a few words, he ordered others to properly handle the grandfather's funeral.
But what no one expected, Leonard later approached the mayor and said that he would take over the job of the old man and guard the lighthouse.
Repeated persuasion did not shake Leonard's decision, and the mayor could only agree to his request.
Leonard has guarded the lighthouse like this until now.
He remembered what his grandfather said in his letter, someone must stand up to protect the sea and be the eyes of the town.
And that telescope, which the old man has used for many years, is now given to Leonard, hoping that he can see farther.
Many people did not understand him when he gave up the job of digging the lead mine at his age, which would make him rich soon, and chose the job of guarding the lighthouse instead.
It's like he doesn't understand others, but now he can be clean.
After this guard, he never went to sea again.
"cough cough"
Leonard on the lighthouse returned to reality from his memories, and then picked up the telescope that had accompanied him all his life.
He kept stroking it with his hands, and his hands were roughened by the years like a lighthouse.
The war in this country lasted for a long time. Even if he hid in the lighthouse, he did not escape the eyes of the enemy. He was shot in the stomach and leg, although it was not fatal.
But he can no longer move at will, and the island is dead. He witnessed all this from the lighthouse. The hospital was engulfed in flames. Even if he left the lighthouse, there was no way for him to be treated.
Fortunately, there is still some fresh water and food on the lighthouse for him to maintain, but he has run out of ammunition and food, and he has reached his limit.
He knew his time was running out, but he still had something to do.
"Old man, you have been with me for so long, maybe this is the last time."
He struggled to stand up despite the severe pain, then leaned on the observation deck and picked up the telescope in his hand.
"Take one last look at this sea"
After protecting him for so many years, in the end, who can protect him.
The sea seemed to have not changed for many years, and he looked at everything familiar with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, he shifted his position and saw a ship approaching here.
It seemed to be a warship, and Leonard noticed a young navy man standing at the bow, with an anxious expression on his face.
"Has the navy finally come to rescue us?"
A sense of relief welled up in his heart, but immediately, Leonard's body tilted and fell to the ground, leaning his back against the wall of the lighthouse and closing his eyes.
As he was dying, he at least saw hope, but unfortunately for him, there was no time.
Leonard's hand was still holding the telescope tightly, but it fell to the ground feebly.
"White Town" Frevans never survived.
