First mate is not easy
Chapter 35 The Mystery of Babrus Island!
After a nearly catastrophic shipwreck, everyone was exhausted.Right now, no one knows where the completely out-of-control ship will lead them.After a short period of excitement on the deck due to the aftermath of the disaster, it quickly fell into a strange silence.
No cables to be pulled in, no anchors to drop, no one to even move.All the sailors, the helmsman and the captain sat on the deck, dripping wet, and then stared stupidly at the rainwater on the top of their heads that couldn't fall on their boat, and calmly watched the rainwater that couldn't hit their heads. Thunder and lightning.
They just stared blankly for hours.
It wasn't until the storm outside gradually subsided that the invisible hood that shrouded them seemed to disappear without a sound.Immediately afterwards, the Shiitz broke into a thick fog like this.In fact, even the most experienced sailors have never seen such a dense fog. The visibility does not exceed three meters, which can be said to be invisible.
"The visibility is too low. Do you want to try to anchor? If you go forward rashly like this, you will hit the rocks." A sailor said anxiously.
Resardin leaned lazily on the side of the stairs, took a sip of rum, raised his eyelids and smiled and replied: "What a great suggestion. Why don't you go to the pilothouse and ask the man in charge of the steering wheel of the Sheath Mr. Ghost, in order to avoid hitting the rocks, should we stop and leave tomorrow?"
The deck was quiet again, and the surroundings could only hear the sound of the whole ship sailing through the wind and waves as it headed in a certain direction in the mist.
The ship sailed in this way for five or six hours—probably so long, because in fact, in such a fog, the sailors on the Sheets almost lost all sense of direction and time...
"What day is it?"
"I can't see the moon. I guess it will be a full moon in a few days."
Sailors always like to complain about how hard the work on board is, and how unbearable it is to travel under the scorching sun and heavy rain.Fortunately, there is no scorching sun or heavy rain, only the humid sea fog around them, and they don't even need to steer the boat by themselves.Everyone was suddenly idle, but they didn't know what to do.The deck was eerily quiet, except for the whispering voices of sailors coming from a certain corner.
But who is talking, this is impossible to know - because no one has such a mood, leaning over or turning their heads to take a look, it seems that everyone is afraid of finding the corner where the sound is coming from the moment they lean over or turn their heads There was no one there, and all the voices they heard were voices from the underworld.
This ship really does seem to be sailing to the underworld.
The sailors went from panic at the beginning to complete numbness after a few hours. Finally, they seemed to be unable to resist the heavy eyelids any longer, and fell asleep one after another with rum to repel the cold.Resardin Barcelo, the captain, drank the last drop of wine in the bottle, stood up unsteadily, shook his arm, and threw the empty bottle into the sea.The empty wine bottle fell into the water with a soft bang.
"This fog is really thick, Resardin, where do you think we are going?" Behind the fog came the voice of the first mate, Pad.Soon, the burly and tall figure came out of the mist and came to the captain, "When I think that this ship may sail forever like this, I feel something is wrong all over my body."
"I can't answer this question, Pad." Amidst the grunting of the sailors behind him, the captain lowered his voice and replied, "I've never seen such a thick fog, and I can't explain why now. If Looking for a similar case, I know that a long time ago, someone accidentally broke into a small isolated island because of a heavy fog..."
"That's your son's bedtime story."
Resardin, who was seen through, paused, then grinned, and smiled without embarrassment.The mate of the Schitz sat down next to their captain, and the two discussed for a while what the ship was going to--a wild guess, of course.After that, they didn't know when it started, and they didn't know who took the lead. They just remembered that their eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, with the background music of the sailors behind them, they were also fascinated one after another. Fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it was a sleep, they seemed to have never fallen asleep like this in their life.
However, when they woke up from their sleep, they were delighted to find that the Sheath had docked on the edge of a small island.
The other ships in the fleet were nowhere to be seen, and only the huge Shitz was left floating alone on the edge of the island and hitting the reef, which gave people a particularly desolate feeling.At this time, excluding those crew members who fell into the sea in the storm and disappeared later, there were only a dozen people left on the Shiats. Compared with when they set off, the number was less than one sixth.
"Perhaps they have made it back to Silton," said a sailor with a forced smile. "If so, that would be very enviable, those lucky ones."
"We can go back too, cheer up."
While reassuring everyone, Resardin ordered people to put down the rope ladder.This time, as the captain, he was the first to get off the ship. Soon, when the first mate Pad led the sailors off the Seaz one after another, Resardin had already found something amazing on the beach. ——The footprints of human beings, as well as a few fishing nets hanging there, and a few light and simple fishing boats.
Congratulations, this is a small island with human civilization, not a desert island, which will undoubtedly save everyone a lot of trouble.In order not to offend the residents on the island, Resardin asked everyone to keep their weapons away, and asked everyone to promise not to draw out their weapons unless necessary.
They walked along the beach for a while, and they met an aborigine who was active on the island—it was a young girl.When Resardin and the others saw her, she was staying with a seabird.
The seabird seemed to be very psychic. Under the command of the little girl, it flew across the sea quickly, dipped a little and touched the water, and when it got up again, it held a sea fish in its claws, and then the seabird turned back to the little girl. As soon as the claws were loosened, the lively fish fell into the bucket at her feet.
But at this moment, the arrival of the uninvited guests from the Schitz obviously disturbed the happy interaction time between the little girl and the seabirds. She was really taken aback, and she took a few steps back, leaving her bare feet on the beach. A series of small footprints.
Seeing this, Resardin quickly took out a piece of candy in his arms and took out a piece of candy that was almost melting.Pade yelled strangely when he saw it: "Why do you have such a thing on your body, Captain?"
"The leftovers from my son's meal." Resardin smiled, "I just took them out in my pocket."
While the captain of the Schitz was speaking, the little girl moved her nose, and felt the sweetness of candy in the sea breeze with her extremely sensitive sense of smell. Then she stopped, opened her big eyes, and stretched her neck carefully to look at These strange uncles.A few seconds later, she seemed to be relieved a little, opened her mouth, and said a series of words that were completely incomprehensible - the pronunciation of some words sounded like Silton, but everyone present knew that this Definitely not Shildun, or even any official language of any country known today.
Everyone realized that normal communication was impossible.
Resardin showed a helpless smile, put the candy in his hand on the beach, and then led his men back again and again.He watched the little girl run up quickly to grab the candy, put it in her pocket instead of eating it, and looked up at them.Her eyeballs rolled around in their sockets, and when her eyes touched the big boat drifting on the reef behind them, she showed an expression of sudden realization, clapped her hands, and then made a surprising movement— — She drew the dagger from her waist.
Everyone, including Resardin, was taken aback—is this the rhythm of taking sugar and tearing down bridges to drive people away?
Pad grinned and cursed, and put his hand on the handle of the weapon behind him.However, at this moment, they saw another scene that left them dumbfounded.
I saw the little girl cut her finger with the drawn dagger, and then fed the blood to the seabird standing on her shoulder. The next second, the seabird landed on the beach, and the next thing happened changed -
Just like Lando was shocked to see little hamster Pade turn into the notorious first mate of Pade, Resardin and Pade were also like Lando, they were shocked to watch the seabird transform into A middle-aged man.
It really feels like a dream to see this happen in person.
The middle-aged man was dressed like an ordinary fisherman.He stepped in front of Resardin with steady steps, stood firm, then stretched out his hand, and patted Resardin's chest—this action was very natural, as if this was some kind of greeting etiquette here, and then The man grinned and said in jerky international lingua franca: "Hello, strangers."
At this time, the people on the Seaz were still immersed in the scene of "Seabirds turned into living people" just now and couldn't extricate themselves, and answered immediately without politeness—probably because they were still looking down for their jaws that fell on the beach.
Uncle Seabird enthusiastically told these poor "foreigners" that they landed on an island named Babrus. According to the records of their island in books outside, it seems that some people call this island "Eden".
When Uncle Sea Bird mentioned this key word, Pad almost looked at Resardin with an expression of disbelief. He seemed to have never expected that they boarded the captain just like this. The island in the bedside story...
If you encounter a piece of sea fog that can't be seen at sea, lucky people may enter a mysterious island.That island has silver sands, and what surrounds it is not the sea but sweet wine.There are the most enthusiastic humans on the island, the softest beds for rest, sweet and juicy tropical fruits, and deliciously roasted meat... The islanders are full of vitality no matter the day or night, even the most ordinary The streets are also full of songs and laughter.Here, there is no worry, no hatred, no dirty money transactions, and even no parting between life and death. Everyone lives extremely happy and pure.All the resources on the island are as rich as a gift from heaven. This place is definitely a fairyland on earth. Anyone who has been there thinks that the island is the real Garden of Eden after returning.
——That's what it says in the fairy tale book.
But now, the conditions for encountering the "sea mist where you can't see your fingers" have been met. After watching the scene of "Seabirds Transforming into Living People", everyone was opened a door to a new world.
At this time, I heard Uncle Sea Bird say that this is the legendary Garden of Eden. The sailors who grew up listening to this bedside story almost all lowered their heads to look at the place where they were standing. What made them collectively silent was, They found themselves standing literally on a silvery beach.
The facial muscles of the first mate Pade twitched, and when no one moved, he suddenly jumped up like a madman and rushed to the beach to pick up a handful of clear sea water, lowered his head and sniffed, and then looked disbelieving After drinking the handful of water, he took another three or four sips before raising his head and saying delicately, "It's the best whiskey."
For a brief moment, the crew of the Sheets thought their mate had gone mad.
But no matter how wrong Pad was, he wouldn't be crazy enough to drink sip after sip, it wasn't good to drink, it could even be regarded as undrinkable sea water.At this moment, he was lying on the beach, sticking his butt like an animal drinking water, burying his face in the "sea water" and drinking sea water.
The hearty grunt continued to lure the sailors on the side.In the end, they didn't know which one was the first to take the lead, and they also came to the edge of the beach, stretched out their hands to try to dip the "sea water", and then they were surprised to find that the entrance was indeed whiskey.
Uncle Seabird's daughter giggled and said a series of words, and Uncle Seabird told Resardin that his daughter wanted to tell them that the good wine here was free to drink, anyway, it wasn't intoxicating, even children could drink it.
At this point, the people on the Seaz, who strayed into the island that they thought only existed in fairy tales, expressed convincingly: either they are all crazy, or the world is crazy.
They would no longer say that the fellows who might have returned to Silton were "lucky guys."
Right now, the sailors on the Sheets consider themselves the luckiest guys in the world.
A dozen of them received the warmest hospitality from the islanders of Babrus Island, just like in a fairy tale, the people of this island accepted them almost unconditionally-they suddenly changed from "wrecked" to Great and distinguished guest.The people on the island even prepared a feast for them, with delicious food and wine, and many fresh and juicy fruits that have never been seen before.When the bonfire was lit, the people on the island sang beautiful songs in a language that no one of them could understand. Chance to dance.
They almost couldn't think of leaving.
Ressardin was more or less worried and suspicious about this matter.However, Uncle Sea Bird told him with a smile that there have been no foreigners on Babrus Island for hundreds of years, and the statue of Leviathan surfaced, and blessed them to survive the storm and ride the wind and waves through the thick sea. The fog came to Babrus Island, all of this was God's will, and it was the divine power of Leviathan that guided them to this island.
"Leviathan's divine power?" Ressardin asked.
"Yes," Uncle Seabird had to raise his voice because of the joyful singing and laughter behind him, "the people here have been blessed by God—ah, but I can't say much about it. Dude, as long as you are here Just relax as much as you want, and leave the supply of the ship to us. When you have enough rest and decide to leave, I guarantee that your ship will return with a full load."
Resardin frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.What surprised him the most from the beginning to the end was that the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of meat, but on such an island in the middle of the sea, the table lacked only fish.
When he expressed his doubts to Uncle Seabird, Uncle Seabird smiled and said, "Fish? People here don't eat fish. We only catch fish to feed our animals."
"why?"
"Because of Leviathan, man."
"Leviathan?"
"Yes, everything on this island—the inexhaustible food, the happy and peaceful life, the ancient divine power that can bring the dead back to life, all of these come from the blessing of the sea monster Leviathan. You You must not know where the food you are enjoying at this time comes from? Every harvest season, adult men will line up to the Leviathan in the back mountain—ah, I said too much Now, the topic has returned to the original point, and I can’t talk about it anymore.” The smile on Uncle Hainiao’s face remained unchanged, “Dude, please stop asking.”
The other party stopped talking abruptly here, which is really hard to think or not to be curious about.However, Resardin has always been a nice gentleman who doesn't like to cause trouble for others, so at this moment, he had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and changed other topics to chat with Uncle Seabird for a while—after all, on this island, There are too few people who can communicate with them in the common language.
As a navigator, Resardin is always curious and yearning for the New World and mysterious things, so now he must seize the opportunity to learn as much as possible about this wonderful place, so that he can give his own experience in the future. One of the best chapters to add to the logbook.
That night, he seemed to be tirelessly chatting with Mr. Seabird a lot.The bonfire party lasted until dawn, and the sailors who had played wildly all night were all drunk in the gentle township.
At this time, Resardin was still chatting with Uncle Hainiao, about culture, geography, and the customs of the outside world.They chatted very speculatively, until Uncle Seabird's daughter ran over in a panic and eagerly said a lot of things that Resardin couldn't understand to her father.
After hearing this, Uncle Hainiao swept away his previous composure, and stood up from his seat with a pale face.Not only him, Resardin noticed, but also the people around who heard the little girl talking, all turned their heads and looked at them nervously.
"What's wrong?" Ressardin asked.
"My son, he ate fish last night while we were away." Uncle Sea Bird stood up, muttering as he hurried back, "I told him many times not to do this, why didn't he listen? This is bad Well, it's really bad..."
Resardin didn't understand the seriousness of "eating fish", but seeing everyone's anxious faces, he followed Uncle Seabird and went home with them.He was accompanied quietly by First Mate Pard.
When they came to Uncle Sea Bird's house, they saw the little girl who just ran ahead crying on the bedside, and lying on the bed was a little boy who looked like three or four years old, with blond hair , because he closed his eyes tightly, so he couldn't see the color of the eyeballs.At this time, the boy seemed to be having a high fever and his whole body was glowing red, but what was shocking was obviously more than that. What shocked the two "foreigners" Resardin and Pad was that the boy had complicated tattoos on his body. Black totem tattoos, and these tattoos have spread all over the body...
Chapter 36 If Leviathan really exists, then it should have the ability to recall itself from the underworld.
Pad cursed, and Resaldin was also stunned by the scene in front of him.It was hard for him to understand what kind of culture it was that would tattoo such a small child all over his body—how painful it would be!
"Dill, how many times have I told you, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch!" Uncle Sea Bird said anxiously, "Why are you so disobedient!"
"Dill, is this your son's name?" Resardin stepped forward and leaned over to check the state of the blond kid lying on the bed, "Why is the fever so bad? I have antipyretics on my boat. Pade? You go Bring the medicine."
Uncle Sea Bird seemed to have noticed that Ressardin followed.He turned his head and looked at Resardin who was frowning slightly and looking at his son worriedly, as if he hadn't expected such a reaction from the other party, he called out in great surprise: "Man!"
"Huh? Don't worry, my friend, my medicine is very effective. My son also had a serious illness when he was less than half a year old, and he survived with that medicine. The medicine developed by the Royal Physician of Silton, Treating the fever can be miraculous." Resardin didn't lift his head, "The tattoos on your son's body are really special, such a young child, it takes a lot of patience to be tattooed with such things..."
"It's not a tattoo."
"Ok?"
"Ah, here's the totem of Barbrus," said Mr. Seabird, looking particularly disturbed. "I shouldn't have told you that, man, but I reckon you're a really nice guy—as I said, it's Everything on this island is blessed by the sea monster Leviathan, and as a monster from the sea, as the people blessed by it, we cannot eat fish. As long as we eat fish, we will feel really uncomfortable for a while and have a high fever And totem manifestation is also one of the symptoms. If it is an adult, it may be accompanied by tingling pain on the skin. After a long time of torture, these imprints will fade away, but the taste of pain... Oh, my poor Dill, presumably After today's incident, he may never want to touch fish again in his life."
"..." Resardin didn't speak. In fact, he couldn't believe that there would be such absurd things in the world.
He finally knew where the strange feeling he felt from the moment he landed on this island came from—the people on the whole island were immersed in the belief in the "sea monster Leviathan", and for this belief There is paranoia bordering on insanity.Because of their beliefs, they warmly received strangers who would bring them anxiety; because of their beliefs, they provided delicious food, wine and wine; also because of their beliefs, they held hands with foreigners and danced around the bonfire... Everything is not voluntary by them.
Only at the very beginning, when she met Uncle Seabird’s daughter on the beach, the fear and anxiety that the little girl showed at the beginning was the natural reaction that the islanders should have after a long period of isolation.
"I don't think the Leviathan you mentioned really exists." Resardin frowned, "You can't eat fish, maybe it's just because your constitution is naturally allergic to fish, all of which can be obtained from scientific research. To explain from the point of view..."
"Oh, how do you explain that I, who should have died in a shipwreck two years ago, have now turned into seabirds and returned to my children? On this island, as long as there is one person from Babrus Alive, his blood is enough to call anyone who still has a physical body back from the underworld in another form—even if that person only has a little finger left."
"Some things, I don't think you would believe it if you didn't see it with your own eyes, my buddy." Uncle Seabird sighed, "Leviathan really exists. In the temple at the center of the island."
"A ship?" Resardin was stunned.
"Yes, a ship is also the king of the sea. What do you think is the most feared creature in the ocean? Sharks? Or sperm whales? Neither, the real king of the ocean is the Leviathan who lives in the deep sea. When it turns into a ship, it will ride the wind and waves, not afraid of any storms and winds, faster and more stable than any ship in the world, and has the strongest combat effectiveness. Its sides are invincible, and it makes pirates fearful..."
"Why do you say it scares pirates?"
Uncle Sea Bird stood up, stretched out his head and looked out the window, as if he was afraid that other people would hear his words, he carefully closed the window, and then continued in a low voice: "Don't worry, sir, since you have decided to say Now, I'll make these things clear. All about the Leviathan I heard from my father, and my father heard from my grandfather.
It is said that since that era, Leviathan has appeared in front of the world in the form of a ship, and it will disappear from the temple only a few days before the full moon of each month.No one knows where it went, but after a few days, it will quietly return to the temple. The cabin is full of food, fresh water, fine wine, fresh meat products, and even clothing to keep out the cold...
It is impossible for an unmanned ship to quietly move from the center of the island to the ocean, and then find those things to distribute to the islanders... I once got some books describing the outside world in the cabin, and after reading those books, I noticed that It turns out that the stuff in the cabin is from different countries, but with little regularity.However, looking at the entire sea area, there is only one kind of ship, and the objects on it will appear this way due to their own nature. "
Resardin raised his eyebrows, "I suddenly understand what you mean..."
Uncle Seabird smiled: "Yes, there are always some big pirates on the Babylon Sea who suddenly disappeared, and people don't even know where they went."
Resardin sighed: "You mean, Leviathan intercepted supplies by attacking pirate ships, and then transported them back to this island to meet people's daily needs?"
Uncle Hainiao nodded, moved his lips, and seemed to want to say something else.However, at this moment, Resardin suddenly raised his hand to signal him not to speak. Under the puzzled eyes of Uncle Sea Bird, he stood up and walked to the tightly closed door in three steps at a time. Reach out and open the door.
Hearing an "ouch", the first mate Pad, who was lying on the door, fell in in embarrassment.He quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, raised his head and saw Uncle Hainiao looking at him vigilantly, he quickly grinned, showing a cheeky smile, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "What a coincidence , My captain and I have a good understanding! I just came back from getting the medicine, and he knew to open the door to welcome me!"
"Since you know that I understand you, you must have guessed that I knew you were lying at this time, Pad." Resardin held out his hand, "Medicine?"
First Officer Pad smiled and put his hand into his belt, then took out the medicine Resardin wanted and handed it to him.
Resardin immediately gave the medicine to Uncle Seabird, and fed it to the little ghost Dill who stole the fish.A few minutes after the little ghost took the medicine, his shortness of breath became much calmer, and even the blush on his face gradually faded away.As Uncle Sea Bird said, as his body temperature dropped, the totems on his body also gradually faded, and he didn't look so painful anymore.
After solving Dill's matter, Resaltin turned his head to look at Pad, and asked blankly, "How much did you hear just now?"
"Not at all."
"Pad."
"Okay, okay, it's all." Pade stopped hiding, shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I have that kind of medicine on me, and I didn't show up right away just to hear what secrets you have to say."
Resardin pursed his lips with an annoyed expression.But at this time, Pade stared at Uncle Seabird with wide eyes: "Hey, Poseidon's trident, uncle, is what you said true? There is really a Leviathan in this world, and Such an invincible warship that can ride the wind and waves that it incarnates? Oh boy, that is really a treasure! Let alone the fact that it can automatically replenish supplies every month, just the device of the ship itself... If there is such a Ships, not to mention dominating the Babylonian Sea, can also extend their territory to other sea areas, or even brand new continents..."
Pad stopped suddenly when he said this, as if he was so happy for his imagination that it was beyond words.
Uncle Seabird felt genuinely uneasy when he saw Pad's expression that was about to burst into laughter.He turned his head and looked at Resardin with regret.
Resardin had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let those guys do anything outrageous. I'm the captain of the Seaz. Without my order, they can't reach out to anyone." Greedy hands," he said, giving Padd a stern, warning look.When the latter saw him, he smiled and said haha, as if he had gotten used to his own captain's glaring.
After calming Uncle Seabird a little, after the situation of the kid named Dill stabilized, Resardin carried Pad out of Uncle Seabird's house.The two hurried back to the Sheath, and a heated debate ensued--only Pard was, to be sure, the more agitated throughout.
"Are you crazy! You promised not to do anything 'out of line'? When is this, and you still pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor? Did you hear what that uncle said? If there is such a ship, Xi The Zeus is not enough to look at in front of it! If there is such a ship, our fleet will be the Sea of Babylon... no, the best ship in the world! The Royal Navy can only clear the way for us !"
"Wonderful."
"I'm whimsical? I don't care. I'll spread the news in a while, and you can see what the sailors will say. The duck you got just let it fly like this? How can there be such a reason? The uncle said When you come out, you must be prepared to be missed. Besides, think about it again, my captain, why did Her Majesty the Queen suddenly ask us to find this statue of Leviathan? Look at the statue of Leviathan again, What happened to us? I don't believe there's any connection, do you know what that means?"
"what?"
"The royal family of Silton has already extended their hands. If we don't take it, they will take it."
"We're not pirates, Pad."
"With Leviathan's ship, we can beat all the pirates to pieces, which is a good thing."
"Threats don't turn into lures, do you, mate?"
"Do you refuse to agree to life or death, captain?"
"Yes."
"Then my answer is also, yes." Pad said blankly, "If there is such a ship, I must definitely get it."
"With me here, don't even think about it."
The negotiations broke up like this.
"So how did you succeed in committing the crime in the end?" Lando asked, "did you put rat poison in my father's dinner?"
"Find a few like-minded sailors, they are on my side." Pad's mate grinned, "Used some small things for the captain to let him sleep well-the captain is wary of me, but he won't be wary They. Oh, your father was a good captain from beginning to end, and absolute trust in his subordinates was the first rule of his code of conduct."
Lando commented blankly: "Despicable."
"So I'm here to be a pirate now," Pad said. "There are too many rules to be a good guy, but it's a lot easier to be a bad guy."
Before Lando and Pad fought again, Xiaobai interjected and asked, "What happened next?"
Pad immediately shifted his attention. He looked at Xiao Bai with a somewhat complicated expression on his face - he couldn't tell whether it was regret or regret.
"Later, when the captain woke up from his sleep, what awaited him was the flames burning all over the island, and the fine wine surrounding the island became the best fuel for the fuel-I have to admit, I think about it now, They all felt like they had done a terrible thing.”
Indeed, on that day, Resardin resumed his daily routine after imprisoning Pad. In order to ensure that Pad would not leave his sight, he even declined Uncle Seabird's dinner invitation.
Resardin stayed alone in the cabin and simply ate the dinner brought by the sailors, read a book for a while, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up again, his nostrils were filled with the strong smell of fireworks.
When he awoke, he thought someone had set the Sheath on fire while he wasn't looking.It wasn't until he hurriedly opened the door of the captain's lounge and came to the deck that he was shocked by what he saw in front of him—a raging fire with no end in sight, the rows of houses on the island were gone, and the dense green forest was gone. The little animals fled in haste from the forest that had turned into purgatory, and the birds sang miserably while flapping their wings and flew away from this once beautiful Garden of Eden on the sea... The sound of people crying and the sound of houses and trees collapsing are everywhere. The loud bang seemed like they were roaring angrily...
Everything is ruined.
During the day, the small island known as the "Garden of Eden" suddenly became a purgatory on earth.
Resardin couldn't believe what he saw.
Trembling all over, he climbed up to the watchtower, and saw from a distance that there was a road that was not burned by the fire in the direction leading to the center of the forest.Apparently, that road was artificially set up as a fire barrier from the very beginning, and on that barrier, he could still see seven furtive figures wearing wet sheets heading toward what was probably the temple. direction forward.
At this moment, the captain of the Seaz's brain was completely occupied by grief and anger.When a residential building closest to the sea collapsed, the cries of children and the screams of women seemed to wake up Resardin, who was in a state of rage, and he subconsciously jumped onto the side of the boat, trying to follow The rope ladder got off the boat to save people, but before his hand touched the rope ladder, those voices disappeared.
Resardin's hands froze - he knew what the deathly silence meant.
he double
No cables to be pulled in, no anchors to drop, no one to even move.All the sailors, the helmsman and the captain sat on the deck, dripping wet, and then stared stupidly at the rainwater on the top of their heads that couldn't fall on their boat, and calmly watched the rainwater that couldn't hit their heads. Thunder and lightning.
They just stared blankly for hours.
It wasn't until the storm outside gradually subsided that the invisible hood that shrouded them seemed to disappear without a sound.Immediately afterwards, the Shiitz broke into a thick fog like this.In fact, even the most experienced sailors have never seen such a dense fog. The visibility does not exceed three meters, which can be said to be invisible.
"The visibility is too low. Do you want to try to anchor? If you go forward rashly like this, you will hit the rocks." A sailor said anxiously.
Resardin leaned lazily on the side of the stairs, took a sip of rum, raised his eyelids and smiled and replied: "What a great suggestion. Why don't you go to the pilothouse and ask the man in charge of the steering wheel of the Sheath Mr. Ghost, in order to avoid hitting the rocks, should we stop and leave tomorrow?"
The deck was quiet again, and the surroundings could only hear the sound of the whole ship sailing through the wind and waves as it headed in a certain direction in the mist.
The ship sailed in this way for five or six hours—probably so long, because in fact, in such a fog, the sailors on the Sheets almost lost all sense of direction and time...
"What day is it?"
"I can't see the moon. I guess it will be a full moon in a few days."
Sailors always like to complain about how hard the work on board is, and how unbearable it is to travel under the scorching sun and heavy rain.Fortunately, there is no scorching sun or heavy rain, only the humid sea fog around them, and they don't even need to steer the boat by themselves.Everyone was suddenly idle, but they didn't know what to do.The deck was eerily quiet, except for the whispering voices of sailors coming from a certain corner.
But who is talking, this is impossible to know - because no one has such a mood, leaning over or turning their heads to take a look, it seems that everyone is afraid of finding the corner where the sound is coming from the moment they lean over or turn their heads There was no one there, and all the voices they heard were voices from the underworld.
This ship really does seem to be sailing to the underworld.
The sailors went from panic at the beginning to complete numbness after a few hours. Finally, they seemed to be unable to resist the heavy eyelids any longer, and fell asleep one after another with rum to repel the cold.Resardin Barcelo, the captain, drank the last drop of wine in the bottle, stood up unsteadily, shook his arm, and threw the empty bottle into the sea.The empty wine bottle fell into the water with a soft bang.
"This fog is really thick, Resardin, where do you think we are going?" Behind the fog came the voice of the first mate, Pad.Soon, the burly and tall figure came out of the mist and came to the captain, "When I think that this ship may sail forever like this, I feel something is wrong all over my body."
"I can't answer this question, Pad." Amidst the grunting of the sailors behind him, the captain lowered his voice and replied, "I've never seen such a thick fog, and I can't explain why now. If Looking for a similar case, I know that a long time ago, someone accidentally broke into a small isolated island because of a heavy fog..."
"That's your son's bedtime story."
Resardin, who was seen through, paused, then grinned, and smiled without embarrassment.The mate of the Schitz sat down next to their captain, and the two discussed for a while what the ship was going to--a wild guess, of course.After that, they didn't know when it started, and they didn't know who took the lead. They just remembered that their eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, with the background music of the sailors behind them, they were also fascinated one after another. Fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it was a sleep, they seemed to have never fallen asleep like this in their life.
However, when they woke up from their sleep, they were delighted to find that the Sheath had docked on the edge of a small island.
The other ships in the fleet were nowhere to be seen, and only the huge Shitz was left floating alone on the edge of the island and hitting the reef, which gave people a particularly desolate feeling.At this time, excluding those crew members who fell into the sea in the storm and disappeared later, there were only a dozen people left on the Shiats. Compared with when they set off, the number was less than one sixth.
"Perhaps they have made it back to Silton," said a sailor with a forced smile. "If so, that would be very enviable, those lucky ones."
"We can go back too, cheer up."
While reassuring everyone, Resardin ordered people to put down the rope ladder.This time, as the captain, he was the first to get off the ship. Soon, when the first mate Pad led the sailors off the Seaz one after another, Resardin had already found something amazing on the beach. ——The footprints of human beings, as well as a few fishing nets hanging there, and a few light and simple fishing boats.
Congratulations, this is a small island with human civilization, not a desert island, which will undoubtedly save everyone a lot of trouble.In order not to offend the residents on the island, Resardin asked everyone to keep their weapons away, and asked everyone to promise not to draw out their weapons unless necessary.
They walked along the beach for a while, and they met an aborigine who was active on the island—it was a young girl.When Resardin and the others saw her, she was staying with a seabird.
The seabird seemed to be very psychic. Under the command of the little girl, it flew across the sea quickly, dipped a little and touched the water, and when it got up again, it held a sea fish in its claws, and then the seabird turned back to the little girl. As soon as the claws were loosened, the lively fish fell into the bucket at her feet.
But at this moment, the arrival of the uninvited guests from the Schitz obviously disturbed the happy interaction time between the little girl and the seabirds. She was really taken aback, and she took a few steps back, leaving her bare feet on the beach. A series of small footprints.
Seeing this, Resardin quickly took out a piece of candy in his arms and took out a piece of candy that was almost melting.Pade yelled strangely when he saw it: "Why do you have such a thing on your body, Captain?"
"The leftovers from my son's meal." Resardin smiled, "I just took them out in my pocket."
While the captain of the Schitz was speaking, the little girl moved her nose, and felt the sweetness of candy in the sea breeze with her extremely sensitive sense of smell. Then she stopped, opened her big eyes, and stretched her neck carefully to look at These strange uncles.A few seconds later, she seemed to be relieved a little, opened her mouth, and said a series of words that were completely incomprehensible - the pronunciation of some words sounded like Silton, but everyone present knew that this Definitely not Shildun, or even any official language of any country known today.
Everyone realized that normal communication was impossible.
Resardin showed a helpless smile, put the candy in his hand on the beach, and then led his men back again and again.He watched the little girl run up quickly to grab the candy, put it in her pocket instead of eating it, and looked up at them.Her eyeballs rolled around in their sockets, and when her eyes touched the big boat drifting on the reef behind them, she showed an expression of sudden realization, clapped her hands, and then made a surprising movement— — She drew the dagger from her waist.
Everyone, including Resardin, was taken aback—is this the rhythm of taking sugar and tearing down bridges to drive people away?
Pad grinned and cursed, and put his hand on the handle of the weapon behind him.However, at this moment, they saw another scene that left them dumbfounded.
I saw the little girl cut her finger with the drawn dagger, and then fed the blood to the seabird standing on her shoulder. The next second, the seabird landed on the beach, and the next thing happened changed -
Just like Lando was shocked to see little hamster Pade turn into the notorious first mate of Pade, Resardin and Pade were also like Lando, they were shocked to watch the seabird transform into A middle-aged man.
It really feels like a dream to see this happen in person.
The middle-aged man was dressed like an ordinary fisherman.He stepped in front of Resardin with steady steps, stood firm, then stretched out his hand, and patted Resardin's chest—this action was very natural, as if this was some kind of greeting etiquette here, and then The man grinned and said in jerky international lingua franca: "Hello, strangers."
At this time, the people on the Seaz were still immersed in the scene of "Seabirds turned into living people" just now and couldn't extricate themselves, and answered immediately without politeness—probably because they were still looking down for their jaws that fell on the beach.
Uncle Seabird enthusiastically told these poor "foreigners" that they landed on an island named Babrus. According to the records of their island in books outside, it seems that some people call this island "Eden".
When Uncle Sea Bird mentioned this key word, Pad almost looked at Resardin with an expression of disbelief. He seemed to have never expected that they boarded the captain just like this. The island in the bedside story...
If you encounter a piece of sea fog that can't be seen at sea, lucky people may enter a mysterious island.That island has silver sands, and what surrounds it is not the sea but sweet wine.There are the most enthusiastic humans on the island, the softest beds for rest, sweet and juicy tropical fruits, and deliciously roasted meat... The islanders are full of vitality no matter the day or night, even the most ordinary The streets are also full of songs and laughter.Here, there is no worry, no hatred, no dirty money transactions, and even no parting between life and death. Everyone lives extremely happy and pure.All the resources on the island are as rich as a gift from heaven. This place is definitely a fairyland on earth. Anyone who has been there thinks that the island is the real Garden of Eden after returning.
——That's what it says in the fairy tale book.
But now, the conditions for encountering the "sea mist where you can't see your fingers" have been met. After watching the scene of "Seabirds Transforming into Living People", everyone was opened a door to a new world.
At this time, I heard Uncle Sea Bird say that this is the legendary Garden of Eden. The sailors who grew up listening to this bedside story almost all lowered their heads to look at the place where they were standing. What made them collectively silent was, They found themselves standing literally on a silvery beach.
The facial muscles of the first mate Pade twitched, and when no one moved, he suddenly jumped up like a madman and rushed to the beach to pick up a handful of clear sea water, lowered his head and sniffed, and then looked disbelieving After drinking the handful of water, he took another three or four sips before raising his head and saying delicately, "It's the best whiskey."
For a brief moment, the crew of the Sheets thought their mate had gone mad.
But no matter how wrong Pad was, he wouldn't be crazy enough to drink sip after sip, it wasn't good to drink, it could even be regarded as undrinkable sea water.At this moment, he was lying on the beach, sticking his butt like an animal drinking water, burying his face in the "sea water" and drinking sea water.
The hearty grunt continued to lure the sailors on the side.In the end, they didn't know which one was the first to take the lead, and they also came to the edge of the beach, stretched out their hands to try to dip the "sea water", and then they were surprised to find that the entrance was indeed whiskey.
Uncle Seabird's daughter giggled and said a series of words, and Uncle Seabird told Resardin that his daughter wanted to tell them that the good wine here was free to drink, anyway, it wasn't intoxicating, even children could drink it.
At this point, the people on the Seaz, who strayed into the island that they thought only existed in fairy tales, expressed convincingly: either they are all crazy, or the world is crazy.
They would no longer say that the fellows who might have returned to Silton were "lucky guys."
Right now, the sailors on the Sheets consider themselves the luckiest guys in the world.
A dozen of them received the warmest hospitality from the islanders of Babrus Island, just like in a fairy tale, the people of this island accepted them almost unconditionally-they suddenly changed from "wrecked" to Great and distinguished guest.The people on the island even prepared a feast for them, with delicious food and wine, and many fresh and juicy fruits that have never been seen before.When the bonfire was lit, the people on the island sang beautiful songs in a language that no one of them could understand. Chance to dance.
They almost couldn't think of leaving.
Ressardin was more or less worried and suspicious about this matter.However, Uncle Sea Bird told him with a smile that there have been no foreigners on Babrus Island for hundreds of years, and the statue of Leviathan surfaced, and blessed them to survive the storm and ride the wind and waves through the thick sea. The fog came to Babrus Island, all of this was God's will, and it was the divine power of Leviathan that guided them to this island.
"Leviathan's divine power?" Ressardin asked.
"Yes," Uncle Seabird had to raise his voice because of the joyful singing and laughter behind him, "the people here have been blessed by God—ah, but I can't say much about it. Dude, as long as you are here Just relax as much as you want, and leave the supply of the ship to us. When you have enough rest and decide to leave, I guarantee that your ship will return with a full load."
Resardin frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.What surprised him the most from the beginning to the end was that the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of meat, but on such an island in the middle of the sea, the table lacked only fish.
When he expressed his doubts to Uncle Seabird, Uncle Seabird smiled and said, "Fish? People here don't eat fish. We only catch fish to feed our animals."
"why?"
"Because of Leviathan, man."
"Leviathan?"
"Yes, everything on this island—the inexhaustible food, the happy and peaceful life, the ancient divine power that can bring the dead back to life, all of these come from the blessing of the sea monster Leviathan. You You must not know where the food you are enjoying at this time comes from? Every harvest season, adult men will line up to the Leviathan in the back mountain—ah, I said too much Now, the topic has returned to the original point, and I can’t talk about it anymore.” The smile on Uncle Hainiao’s face remained unchanged, “Dude, please stop asking.”
The other party stopped talking abruptly here, which is really hard to think or not to be curious about.However, Resardin has always been a nice gentleman who doesn't like to cause trouble for others, so at this moment, he had to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and changed other topics to chat with Uncle Seabird for a while—after all, on this island, There are too few people who can communicate with them in the common language.
As a navigator, Resardin is always curious and yearning for the New World and mysterious things, so now he must seize the opportunity to learn as much as possible about this wonderful place, so that he can give his own experience in the future. One of the best chapters to add to the logbook.
That night, he seemed to be tirelessly chatting with Mr. Seabird a lot.The bonfire party lasted until dawn, and the sailors who had played wildly all night were all drunk in the gentle township.
At this time, Resardin was still chatting with Uncle Hainiao, about culture, geography, and the customs of the outside world.They chatted very speculatively, until Uncle Seabird's daughter ran over in a panic and eagerly said a lot of things that Resardin couldn't understand to her father.
After hearing this, Uncle Hainiao swept away his previous composure, and stood up from his seat with a pale face.Not only him, Resardin noticed, but also the people around who heard the little girl talking, all turned their heads and looked at them nervously.
"What's wrong?" Ressardin asked.
"My son, he ate fish last night while we were away." Uncle Sea Bird stood up, muttering as he hurried back, "I told him many times not to do this, why didn't he listen? This is bad Well, it's really bad..."
Resardin didn't understand the seriousness of "eating fish", but seeing everyone's anxious faces, he followed Uncle Seabird and went home with them.He was accompanied quietly by First Mate Pard.
When they came to Uncle Sea Bird's house, they saw the little girl who just ran ahead crying on the bedside, and lying on the bed was a little boy who looked like three or four years old, with blond hair , because he closed his eyes tightly, so he couldn't see the color of the eyeballs.At this time, the boy seemed to be having a high fever and his whole body was glowing red, but what was shocking was obviously more than that. What shocked the two "foreigners" Resardin and Pad was that the boy had complicated tattoos on his body. Black totem tattoos, and these tattoos have spread all over the body...
Chapter 36 If Leviathan really exists, then it should have the ability to recall itself from the underworld.
Pad cursed, and Resaldin was also stunned by the scene in front of him.It was hard for him to understand what kind of culture it was that would tattoo such a small child all over his body—how painful it would be!
"Dill, how many times have I told you, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch!" Uncle Sea Bird said anxiously, "Why are you so disobedient!"
"Dill, is this your son's name?" Resardin stepped forward and leaned over to check the state of the blond kid lying on the bed, "Why is the fever so bad? I have antipyretics on my boat. Pade? You go Bring the medicine."
Uncle Sea Bird seemed to have noticed that Ressardin followed.He turned his head and looked at Resardin who was frowning slightly and looking at his son worriedly, as if he hadn't expected such a reaction from the other party, he called out in great surprise: "Man!"
"Huh? Don't worry, my friend, my medicine is very effective. My son also had a serious illness when he was less than half a year old, and he survived with that medicine. The medicine developed by the Royal Physician of Silton, Treating the fever can be miraculous." Resardin didn't lift his head, "The tattoos on your son's body are really special, such a young child, it takes a lot of patience to be tattooed with such things..."
"It's not a tattoo."
"Ok?"
"Ah, here's the totem of Barbrus," said Mr. Seabird, looking particularly disturbed. "I shouldn't have told you that, man, but I reckon you're a really nice guy—as I said, it's Everything on this island is blessed by the sea monster Leviathan, and as a monster from the sea, as the people blessed by it, we cannot eat fish. As long as we eat fish, we will feel really uncomfortable for a while and have a high fever And totem manifestation is also one of the symptoms. If it is an adult, it may be accompanied by tingling pain on the skin. After a long time of torture, these imprints will fade away, but the taste of pain... Oh, my poor Dill, presumably After today's incident, he may never want to touch fish again in his life."
"..." Resardin didn't speak. In fact, he couldn't believe that there would be such absurd things in the world.
He finally knew where the strange feeling he felt from the moment he landed on this island came from—the people on the whole island were immersed in the belief in the "sea monster Leviathan", and for this belief There is paranoia bordering on insanity.Because of their beliefs, they warmly received strangers who would bring them anxiety; because of their beliefs, they provided delicious food, wine and wine; also because of their beliefs, they held hands with foreigners and danced around the bonfire... Everything is not voluntary by them.
Only at the very beginning, when she met Uncle Seabird’s daughter on the beach, the fear and anxiety that the little girl showed at the beginning was the natural reaction that the islanders should have after a long period of isolation.
"I don't think the Leviathan you mentioned really exists." Resardin frowned, "You can't eat fish, maybe it's just because your constitution is naturally allergic to fish, all of which can be obtained from scientific research. To explain from the point of view..."
"Oh, how do you explain that I, who should have died in a shipwreck two years ago, have now turned into seabirds and returned to my children? On this island, as long as there is one person from Babrus Alive, his blood is enough to call anyone who still has a physical body back from the underworld in another form—even if that person only has a little finger left."
"Some things, I don't think you would believe it if you didn't see it with your own eyes, my buddy." Uncle Seabird sighed, "Leviathan really exists. In the temple at the center of the island."
"A ship?" Resardin was stunned.
"Yes, a ship is also the king of the sea. What do you think is the most feared creature in the ocean? Sharks? Or sperm whales? Neither, the real king of the ocean is the Leviathan who lives in the deep sea. When it turns into a ship, it will ride the wind and waves, not afraid of any storms and winds, faster and more stable than any ship in the world, and has the strongest combat effectiveness. Its sides are invincible, and it makes pirates fearful..."
"Why do you say it scares pirates?"
Uncle Sea Bird stood up, stretched out his head and looked out the window, as if he was afraid that other people would hear his words, he carefully closed the window, and then continued in a low voice: "Don't worry, sir, since you have decided to say Now, I'll make these things clear. All about the Leviathan I heard from my father, and my father heard from my grandfather.
It is said that since that era, Leviathan has appeared in front of the world in the form of a ship, and it will disappear from the temple only a few days before the full moon of each month.No one knows where it went, but after a few days, it will quietly return to the temple. The cabin is full of food, fresh water, fine wine, fresh meat products, and even clothing to keep out the cold...
It is impossible for an unmanned ship to quietly move from the center of the island to the ocean, and then find those things to distribute to the islanders... I once got some books describing the outside world in the cabin, and after reading those books, I noticed that It turns out that the stuff in the cabin is from different countries, but with little regularity.However, looking at the entire sea area, there is only one kind of ship, and the objects on it will appear this way due to their own nature. "
Resardin raised his eyebrows, "I suddenly understand what you mean..."
Uncle Seabird smiled: "Yes, there are always some big pirates on the Babylon Sea who suddenly disappeared, and people don't even know where they went."
Resardin sighed: "You mean, Leviathan intercepted supplies by attacking pirate ships, and then transported them back to this island to meet people's daily needs?"
Uncle Hainiao nodded, moved his lips, and seemed to want to say something else.However, at this moment, Resardin suddenly raised his hand to signal him not to speak. Under the puzzled eyes of Uncle Sea Bird, he stood up and walked to the tightly closed door in three steps at a time. Reach out and open the door.
Hearing an "ouch", the first mate Pad, who was lying on the door, fell in in embarrassment.He quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, raised his head and saw Uncle Hainiao looking at him vigilantly, he quickly grinned, showing a cheeky smile, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "What a coincidence , My captain and I have a good understanding! I just came back from getting the medicine, and he knew to open the door to welcome me!"
"Since you know that I understand you, you must have guessed that I knew you were lying at this time, Pad." Resardin held out his hand, "Medicine?"
First Officer Pad smiled and put his hand into his belt, then took out the medicine Resardin wanted and handed it to him.
Resardin immediately gave the medicine to Uncle Seabird, and fed it to the little ghost Dill who stole the fish.A few minutes after the little ghost took the medicine, his shortness of breath became much calmer, and even the blush on his face gradually faded away.As Uncle Sea Bird said, as his body temperature dropped, the totems on his body also gradually faded, and he didn't look so painful anymore.
After solving Dill's matter, Resaltin turned his head to look at Pad, and asked blankly, "How much did you hear just now?"
"Not at all."
"Pad."
"Okay, okay, it's all." Pade stopped hiding, shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I have that kind of medicine on me, and I didn't show up right away just to hear what secrets you have to say."
Resardin pursed his lips with an annoyed expression.But at this time, Pade stared at Uncle Seabird with wide eyes: "Hey, Poseidon's trident, uncle, is what you said true? There is really a Leviathan in this world, and Such an invincible warship that can ride the wind and waves that it incarnates? Oh boy, that is really a treasure! Let alone the fact that it can automatically replenish supplies every month, just the device of the ship itself... If there is such a Ships, not to mention dominating the Babylonian Sea, can also extend their territory to other sea areas, or even brand new continents..."
Pad stopped suddenly when he said this, as if he was so happy for his imagination that it was beyond words.
Uncle Seabird felt genuinely uneasy when he saw Pad's expression that was about to burst into laughter.He turned his head and looked at Resardin with regret.
Resardin had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let those guys do anything outrageous. I'm the captain of the Seaz. Without my order, they can't reach out to anyone." Greedy hands," he said, giving Padd a stern, warning look.When the latter saw him, he smiled and said haha, as if he had gotten used to his own captain's glaring.
After calming Uncle Seabird a little, after the situation of the kid named Dill stabilized, Resardin carried Pad out of Uncle Seabird's house.The two hurried back to the Sheath, and a heated debate ensued--only Pard was, to be sure, the more agitated throughout.
"Are you crazy! You promised not to do anything 'out of line'? When is this, and you still pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor? Did you hear what that uncle said? If there is such a ship, Xi The Zeus is not enough to look at in front of it! If there is such a ship, our fleet will be the Sea of Babylon... no, the best ship in the world! The Royal Navy can only clear the way for us !"
"Wonderful."
"I'm whimsical? I don't care. I'll spread the news in a while, and you can see what the sailors will say. The duck you got just let it fly like this? How can there be such a reason? The uncle said When you come out, you must be prepared to be missed. Besides, think about it again, my captain, why did Her Majesty the Queen suddenly ask us to find this statue of Leviathan? Look at the statue of Leviathan again, What happened to us? I don't believe there's any connection, do you know what that means?"
"what?"
"The royal family of Silton has already extended their hands. If we don't take it, they will take it."
"We're not pirates, Pad."
"With Leviathan's ship, we can beat all the pirates to pieces, which is a good thing."
"Threats don't turn into lures, do you, mate?"
"Do you refuse to agree to life or death, captain?"
"Yes."
"Then my answer is also, yes." Pad said blankly, "If there is such a ship, I must definitely get it."
"With me here, don't even think about it."
The negotiations broke up like this.
"So how did you succeed in committing the crime in the end?" Lando asked, "did you put rat poison in my father's dinner?"
"Find a few like-minded sailors, they are on my side." Pad's mate grinned, "Used some small things for the captain to let him sleep well-the captain is wary of me, but he won't be wary They. Oh, your father was a good captain from beginning to end, and absolute trust in his subordinates was the first rule of his code of conduct."
Lando commented blankly: "Despicable."
"So I'm here to be a pirate now," Pad said. "There are too many rules to be a good guy, but it's a lot easier to be a bad guy."
Before Lando and Pad fought again, Xiaobai interjected and asked, "What happened next?"
Pad immediately shifted his attention. He looked at Xiao Bai with a somewhat complicated expression on his face - he couldn't tell whether it was regret or regret.
"Later, when the captain woke up from his sleep, what awaited him was the flames burning all over the island, and the fine wine surrounding the island became the best fuel for the fuel-I have to admit, I think about it now, They all felt like they had done a terrible thing.”
Indeed, on that day, Resardin resumed his daily routine after imprisoning Pad. In order to ensure that Pad would not leave his sight, he even declined Uncle Seabird's dinner invitation.
Resardin stayed alone in the cabin and simply ate the dinner brought by the sailors, read a book for a while, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up again, his nostrils were filled with the strong smell of fireworks.
When he awoke, he thought someone had set the Sheath on fire while he wasn't looking.It wasn't until he hurriedly opened the door of the captain's lounge and came to the deck that he was shocked by what he saw in front of him—a raging fire with no end in sight, the rows of houses on the island were gone, and the dense green forest was gone. The little animals fled in haste from the forest that had turned into purgatory, and the birds sang miserably while flapping their wings and flew away from this once beautiful Garden of Eden on the sea... The sound of people crying and the sound of houses and trees collapsing are everywhere. The loud bang seemed like they were roaring angrily...
Everything is ruined.
During the day, the small island known as the "Garden of Eden" suddenly became a purgatory on earth.
Resardin couldn't believe what he saw.
Trembling all over, he climbed up to the watchtower, and saw from a distance that there was a road that was not burned by the fire in the direction leading to the center of the forest.Apparently, that road was artificially set up as a fire barrier from the very beginning, and on that barrier, he could still see seven furtive figures wearing wet sheets heading toward what was probably the temple. direction forward.
At this moment, the captain of the Seaz's brain was completely occupied by grief and anger.When a residential building closest to the sea collapsed, the cries of children and the screams of women seemed to wake up Resardin, who was in a state of rage, and he subconsciously jumped onto the side of the boat, trying to follow The rope ladder got off the boat to save people, but before his hand touched the rope ladder, those voices disappeared.
Resardin's hands froze - he knew what the deathly silence meant.
