Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 180 The Age of Discovery ([-])

The man looked at a gold coin in his hand, and beckoned for the torch to be given to him. After looking carefully, he let go of the foot on Buku's face.

"Buku, the door of Dehei Casino is always open for you, and I look forward to your next visit."

The man waved his hand, and they all left Buku's farm with him.

Rhodes glanced at Leon who was supporting Julia, squatted down, stared at Buku, and said in a rough voice: "I didn't give them a copper coin, but a gold coin, Buku, you go to gamble, I’m going to throw you into the sea and feed it to the sharks! Do you hear me?”

"Listen... I heard it." Buku was trembling, and his voice was only slightly louder than that of a mosquito.

"What did you hear? Repeat!"

With a mournful face, Buku crawled towards Julia's feet: "I will never gamble again."

"Father, you can't gamble anymore."

Julia was going to help Buku up, Leon was one step ahead of her, and Dylan just stood aside with a cold expression.

"I'll take him to the city to find a doctor, you all rest, Dylan, take care of your sister."

"I'll go with you." Julia was worried and insisted on going with Leon, so Dylan had no choice but to follow.

Rhodes wanted to go together, but Leon shook his head: "You are going to Wendy's tomorrow. If I can make it back, I will give you a ride."

Dylan held up a torch to illuminate, Leon carried Buku on his back, Julia followed closely beside Leon, and they headed towards the main city.

There is a long way to go from the farm to the main city.

After they left, Hu Yingfeng and Shi Yin both returned to the granary, and Rhodes said to Ye Qing, "He has too many worries."

"I understand." Ye Qing led Rongsheng back to the house.

On one side is the pregnant wife, and on the other side is the troubled father-in-law. Dylan is less than ten years old, and there is still a crop field at home, and food needs to be handed in every year.

Ye Qing never doubted that Rhodes had seen an excellent gunner before, but now, he was so embarrassed...

Ye Qing understood his situation.

Rhode kicked the mud wall outside the farmhouse a few times, then went to the granary.

Compared with Ye Qing and the others, Rhodes is calm on the surface, but he is more anxious than anyone else in his heart. After all, Gloria is still in the hands of Barrio, and he needs to hurry up.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Leon and the others returned from the main city.

"You are still here." Seeing a few people, Leon was a little surprised: "Wait for me, I will see you off."

…………

…………

There was no words all the way until Rhodes suddenly stopped: "Okay, it's time for you to go back."

"Rod..."

Rhodes smiled and said: "I don't know when we will see you next time, and I don't know if I can come back."

"Do you have to go?"

"Leon, finding the lost city is my father's dream, and it's also my dream."

"No one has ever seen the Lost City. It is just a legend, but countless people lost their lives because of it. Rhodes, is it worth it?"

"Some people believe because they see it, and some people see it because they believe it." Rhodes gave him a hug and patted him on the shoulder: "Leon, goodbye."

Leon grabbed his arm: "Rhode, I have to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

Leon looked at Ye Qing and the others, and Rhodes said, "Just say it, they are all my trusted companions."

Leon licked his lips, staring at the ground: "Do you still remember the ghost fire we met?"

"I will never forget it." Rhodes was silent for a while, looked up at Ye Qing and the others: "A few years ago, we went to sea together to find the lost city..."

Rhodes told Ye Qing and others about the incident.

It was precisely because of what happened a few years ago that Rhodes was hit hard and fell into a slump for two years. When he came back, he learned that Gloria was also looking for the Lost City. Only then did the phantom on the sea behind him lead them to find a lost city. Only the gold, silver and jewels on the ship were followed by the crew betraying Rhodes and taking refuge in Bario.

A few years ago, Rhodes found a treasure, bought the best ship, and assembled the best crew. They set out on the road. Although there were many difficulties on the road, they overcame them again and again.

Until, they met Ghost Fire.

According to legend, it is a blue flame floating in the sea, in which the soul of a demon is trapped.

When the ghost fire touches a ship, it will immediately cause an explosion. When the ghost fire touches a living person, it will immediately burn the body and devour their souls.

Almost all sailors at sea have heard of this legend, but no one has ever seen it.

Just like the lost city, no one has seen it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And if it is said that someone has seen the ghost fire, but no one can confirm it, it can only mean that the people who have seen the ghost fire are basically dead.

Rhodes and Leon are beyond this "basic".

"That night, our boat hit a rock...Actually, we dropped anchor a long time ago. It is impossible for the boat to move suddenly when it stops at sea, and it was hit by an unknown object, but our boat just hit a rock. There was a big hole in the boat, and it couldn't be repaired as fast as the water seeped in. We had to abandon the boat, and after the crew changed the boat..."

"Ghost fire appeared, people on the boat were burned alive, and the boat exploded."

Rhodes still has lingering fears when he thinks about it now: "They all said that we are cursed, and only those who are cursed by the sea god will meet the ghost fire. During that time, I always thought that the sea god didn't want us to find the lost city, But Gloria said, that was the challenge from the Sea God, and only those who pass the challenge can survive and find the lost city."

"Sea God chose me and Leon. At that time, Leon and I were still on the big ship. After the ship exploded, we fell into a coma."

At this time, Leon said: "Rhode, at that time, only you fainted."

"What do you mean?"

"After the boat exploded, you suddenly fainted, worried about being discovered by the ghost fire. After I dragged you into the cabin, I fell down too. I wanted to wait for them to leave. You know, our boat didn't sink so fast for the time being. No. After a while, I heard a cry for help, and I went out to have a look... There was a ship passing close to our ship, and there was a man on the mast."

Leon paused and continued: "That's a wizard. He asked me to save him."

Leon didn't say what happened next, he only said the final outcome.

"The wizard is still dead. Before he died, he told me not to go to sea again, because he predicted that I would die on the next sea trip."

"Since he could predict, why didn't he predict that he would die at sea? Leon, you shouldn't believe his words!"

Leon didn't refute, just looked into Rhode's eyes quietly.

"The sea is full of freedom, wealth, and passion. There are also endless dangers and unpredictable unknowns. Rhodes, unfortunately, I can't go with you. It's not that I'm afraid of death...Julia is pregnant."

"Oh..." Rhodes froze for a moment, and then showed a big smile: "Congratulations, you are going to be a father! I'm so stupid, I don't know anything, Leon, forgive me, I shouldn't bother you Life."

When saying goodbye, Rhodes gave Leon a bag containing gold coins, which contained not many gold coins.

Leon didn't answer.

He untied the water bag at his waist and handed it to Rhodes: "Wine, there is only so much. Have a good trip, my brother."
