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

Chapter 193 The Era of Great Navigation (32)
Although the amount of food and fresh water he received was far less than what Chris expected, the price he paid was correspondingly much less. Except for the news about the cannibal island, Rodriguez only received a small bag of gold coins.

Chris told Rhodes the specific location of Cannibal Island, including their route to the island and the general characteristics of the cave location. After expressing his thanks again, Chris's boat left.

The ship heads north.

When only Chris and Tian were left on the stern terrace, Tian asked, "Why are you talking about Cannibal Island? That place is too dangerous!"

"Tian, ​​none of us want to see that happen to Lawrence. I am also very sad. He is also my friend."

"You didn't tell Rodriguez that there was a monster on the cannibal island!" Tian lowered his head and said, "Lawrence...he was torn in half alive by the monster."

"Didn't the guy who delivered the pancakes know? Tian, ​​what you gain is what you lose. Monsters, like people, will choose what is good for them. I did this to save the lives of more than 20 people on board. In the cave, I also want to guard it... However, whether Rodriguez finds the treasure first, or they are eaten by monsters first, I don't care so much. Just like Rodriguez, they don't care whether we can We can’t rely on these things to reach Ebbins, and on the way to Ebbins, can we still meet other merchant ships.”

Tian still felt guilty: "But...Rodriguez was interested in the Lost City. We didn't see any murals at all! We lied to them!"

"Dear brother, you are too serious sometimes." Chris patted his shoulder with a smile and continued: "It's better to put away your extra sympathy. If you are really worried about them, what I said before When the time comes, you should tell Rodriguez...it's too late to say anything now."

Tian opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Rhode's ship deviated from the original channel and turned from due south to southeast.

After bargaining, Rhodes didn't give so much food and fresh water, but in order to pass through the poisonous swamp and ghost land smoothly, they had to restock their supplies. Right now, affected by the pirate group, they had better bypass the waters near Victoria Island. .

Therefore, Rhodes and his party could only go to Crown Island.

"Rod, you seem to be very afraid of going to Crown Island." Rong Sheng said the feelings of several people: "Is there a monster that wants to eat people on the island?"

"Duke Morales of Crown Isle is a famous old man!"

"What kind of weird method?"

"Ten years ago, I went to Crown Island with a boat. At that time, our merchant ship transported [-] barrels of high-quality Haywest wine and was about to send it to Victoria Island. One of the ships hit The reef, the fleet can only temporarily stop at Crown Island. I don’t know how the Duke of Morales heard about this, so he asked people to move all the wine off the ship. He said that everything on his island belongs to him .”

"Later?"

"The wine is going to be given to the Luna family on Victoria Island. The Luna family only care about wine and don't care about other things. The captain can't pay the job, and can't pay so much gold coins, so they are forced to become pirates."

Rhodes never went to Crown Island, but he heard a lot about Duke Morales.

Adam also knew something, he said: "This is not the first time that wine has been seized."

"Duke Morales has occupied cattle, sheep, horses, iron armor, artillery and ships. Even King Ebbins' fleet has suffered losses from him. Duke Morales has also hijacked more than ten doctors. He said he invited them to the castle as guests. The fact that the pirate group is so rampant in the South China Sea has a lot to do with him!"

"He's behind them?"

"Very likely." Adam nodded.

"Why would he do that?"

"You don't know the history of the Nolan Continent. Morales is an ancient surname. Hundreds of years ago, the first person to unify the Nolan Continent was Morales I. After ascending the throne, he put My own young brother was exiled to faraway Crown Isle."

"Morales II was a very cruel monarch. In the third year of Morales II, the Morales dynasty ended, and Morales II was burned at the stake."

"Morales on Crown Island, they think they are the most orthodox owners of the Norland continent, but they don't call them kings, they only call them dukes. While doing business with other kings, they secretly collude with pirates. Lu of Victoria Island The fact that the Na family can coexist peacefully with the pirate group is credited to Morales."

"They also cooperate?" Rong Sheng looked at Adam.

Before Adam could speak, Ye Qing said, "Marriage."

Since ancient times, marriage has been the best way to consolidate power and wealth.

"The wife of the current Duke of Morales is the daughter of the Luna family. In recent years, Duke Morales' temper has improved a lot, and he has stopped doing unreasonable things. I hope we will have good luck."

"Navigators like us have to thank Mrs. Luna." When Rhodes said this, his tone was a little strange.

"The poor woman who was sacrificed by the family." Rong Sheng shook his head and sighed: "Married to such a strange old man... How old was she when she married Duke Morales?"

"16 is old."

"Duke Morales?"

"Maybe more than 60, or more than 70."

Rhodes said: "71 years old."

Rong Sheng pouted and said nothing.

Three days later, before dark, Rhodes' ship stopped in the waters of Crown Island.

After dinner, Leon went to the observation deck, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the surroundings. He leaned on the wooden pole and stared blankly at the gray-black sky.

After an unknown amount of time, a smell of fish wafted up.

Leon looked down.

At the bow of the ship, there are a few candles and a few people.

Shi Yin was grilling fish, and Rong Sheng told a few people about the story of Princess Anne: "...just like that, Princess Anne sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship of gold and jewelry."

Rongsheng heard the story of Princess Anne from Uncle Goatee. In fact, Princess Anne was the aunt of the current Duke Morales. On the way to her wedding, her ship was damaged and she died unfortunately.

"You don't know the legend of sea monsters yet, do you?" Green stood aside, passing seasoning to Shi Yin.

"Legend of sea monsters?"

"There is another version of the story about Princess Anne. The previous parts are similar, but the reason why Princess Anne married far away is different. It is said that Princess Anne fell in love with an ugly weirdo. Duke Morales was very angry when he found out about it. She was angry and thought that Princess Anne had lost the face of her family and wanted to marry her away. Princess Anne cried all day long and was finally tied to the boat. As soon as Princess Anne's boat left the waters of Crown Island, the weird man turned out to be on the sea. Appeared, there was a strong wind on the sea, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain came, destroying three ships in an instant, and just like that, the sea monster took Princess Anne away."

After Green finished speaking, Rhode continued: "I also heard that Princess Anne's father ordered someone to kill her. However, the three ships sank at the same time, and no one survived. The sea monster is indeed the best explanation." .”

"Anyway, the fact that Princess Anne got married was true. Later, a treasure hunt was triggered. Many people came to this sea area to look for the sunken ship. There are gold mines on Crown Island. The only princess who got married must have treasures on board."

"In this sea area?" Ye Qing stood up and walked to the side of the boat.

"Just around here."

Ye Qing turned around, she glanced at Hu Yingfeng, his eyes happened to meet hers, and they both smiled.

She said with her spiritual sense, "I have diving equipment."
