Chapter 225 Returning to the Island
"Captain, they went into the sea yesterday, and they seem to have caught something."
Orderic, with a blood bag in his mouth, reported to Charles, who was looking at the chart.
"Can you see what they're grabbing?"
"Judging from the feedback of the sound waves, it looks like a human being. These guys are just grabbing things in the water to feed their envoys, right?"
"Heh, if that's the case, that would be a good thing." Charles' tone was relaxed, not for anything else, just because they were about to arrive at Broken Heart Island.
The previously imaginary attack did not appear, the guy on the turtle shell still kept his own place, and the clucking sound in his sleep did not appear again.
The other party didn't intend to cause trouble, which is naturally the best.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from outside, and Charles suddenly felt tense. This group of guys is coming to an end, so they are still looking for trouble, right?
After Charles walked out of the cabin with Orderic, he saw an amazing scene on the sea in front of him, surrounded by dozens of skeleton ships and the turtle-shell ship, the Narwhal.
Just when all the crew members looked confused, the Haike tribe standing on the boat suddenly prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed respectfully in the direction of Charles.
Of course Charles knew that these people were not kneeling on him. He turned his head and looked at the turtle shell boat behind him.
Soon these ships approached, and after hugging excitedly with the giants who escaped from death, they quickly walked towards the inside of the turtle shell.
"Mr. Charles, what are they doing in there?" the blue Lily asked curiously.
"I guess I'm going to meet their envoy. If I'm right, that thing has a high status in the Hek clan." Charles stroked Lily's furry head.
It is not difficult to guess, since it is called an envoy, it is also a priest. The social status must be superior to others.
Charles stopped suddenly, holding Lily in the palm of his hand. He tugged at the blue hair on its body with his hands, and asked with some surprise: "Where did you get these paints? Why do you change them every day?"
"Hee hee, I bought it with my own salary. The special dye from the far west sea area is easy to dye and easy to use. Not only will it not dehydrate, but it is also fragrant. I bought a lot of boxes."
While Lily was talking proudly, those Hekers all came out of the turtle shell and returned to their boat.
More than a dozen brown earthworm-like creatures like giant pythons were tied to the front of the turtle's shell, and its power was restored.
Aquino drove the turtle shell boat and came to Charles, he patted on the shoulder with a smile on his face
"Mr. Charles, the Lord God Envoy asked me to thank you, thank you for not leaving us behind, otherwise we would really have to do something to protect ourselves."
Hearing this, Charles' heart skipped a beat. That thing already knew he was on guard against it? Did it see through it long ago when I went in stealth?
Seeing the surprised look of the other party, Ajino didn't explain anything, and left quickly accompanied by other Haik sea ships.
After a while, the whole sea became deserted again, and only the Narwhal was left.
Charles was still thinking about what Aguino said just now, but it was able to hold back, which showed that the thing was very intelligent.
If at that time, wounded or killed himself, his crew would definitely not let it go, and pretending not to see it was undoubtedly not an option.
Charles was a little dubious about Elizabeth's words before, but now he believes a little more in his heart. If it was just a simple monster, he would never consider such details.
After a few minutes, Charles cleared all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind. In any case, this matter has come to an end. No matter what the other party's background is, it is estimated that we will never see each other again.
"Don't be dazed, they are leaving, then we should go, the chief engineer's vortex furnace is burning to the maximum." Charles grabbed Lily and walked towards the captain's cabin.
After a short day, the Narwhal returned to the pier of Heartbroken Island again.
As soon as the sailors on the ship anchored, Charles saw the tattered tortoise shell in the distance, and the religion was obviously one step ahead of them.
Seeing the exhaustion of the crew, Charles knew what they wanted. Exploring in unknown seas puts them under a lot of stress and they need to relax.
"Three days, we will rest here for three days, and we will set off for Hope Island in three days. By then, everyone will have a good rest."
The crew agreed in unison, with excited smiles on everyone's faces.
After confirming the hotel to stay in, Charles saw through the window that his crew members were walking towards the place with shoulders and backs. From their words, it seemed that they planned to experience the special service of Broken Heart Island.
The two in-depth contacts gave Charles a new understanding of the Hikers, and he was much less wary. It would be no big problem for the crew if they were simply spending money.
"Mr. Charles, let's go out to play too. When I came here just now, I could smell the delicious smell of barbecue."
Charles nodded after thinking for a while, "Okay, let's go to the island and see what special snacks this island has."
He finally returned to normal, and in order to prevent a relapse, he also wanted to relax as much as possible.
Charles walked out of the hotel with the elated Lily, and walked on the street like a country of giants. Guided by Lily's keen nose, he came to a roadside stall.
Charles stepped on the stool with one foot, stood directly on the stool, and looked towards the stall.
The stand was sparse, with slices of white jelly-like stuff sitting on ice cubes on one side.
On the other side are small slices of meat like ribs, which are grilled on charcoal fire, giving off a tempting aroma.
"People from the Outer Islands? Have you never seen these? The white one is the cartilage of the caudal fin of the Levi's whale, and the red meat is its lower body meat. Would you like some? I can cut it into smaller pieces for you." The boss introduced it while frying the meat.
Charles also ordered one, and began to taste like Lily, but these things were not as delicious as expected.
The taste of whale cartilage is a bit like crunchy white fungus, it tastes almost tasteless, and some are just crunchy
Although the whale meat smelled delicious, it was hard and dry in the mouth, a bit like over-fried duck pieces.
"These two things are not eaten separately." The boss quickly stacked the cartilage and whale meat, dipped it in the black sauce next to it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"The two heavens of ice and fire..."
Seeing the giant in front of him chewing with relish, Charles also followed the steps.
The cold cartilage and the grilled meat that has just left the fire are lightly bitten in the mouth, and there is a different feeling from before. The most special thing is the sauce, which is actually spicy.
All kinds of flavors were mixed in the mouth, and just listening to Lily's continuous sobs of physical and mental satisfaction, one knew how delicious this thing was.
