A wonderful adventure that begins with a pirate

When Otis first came to Baibaihai, he introduced himself as a tourist from Qinghai when he first met Paige and Cornis. They obviously believed him, so Cornis' first reaction after hearing the introduction was like this. , the Paigeya couple next to them also nodded slightly.

However, this is not completely wrong, because Otis did have the intention of visiting, but the main purpose is still the Thunder Fruit on Bika, so he can't say he is lying by casually accepting it, at least now he is in Paigea and the others. In front of him, he was just a simple traveler.

Naturally, the Paigea family didn't know what Otis was thinking. Even the young Cornis learned the news about Qinghai that she had always been curious about. When she heard about these strange places, there was a person like Otis who was specifically looking for good things. Sitting in front of a living person who was traveling around the scenery, the child's heart was filled with envy.

"It turns out Qinghai is not, the world is so magical." The little girl's eyes were bright. First she exclaimed cutely, and then she immediately turned to Otis and asked, "Big brother, I will take you to play with us, and then When you go to those places again, can you take me to play with you too?"

Otis, who had been talking nonstop since the meal started, paused and turned to look at Cornis, only to see that the face of the little girl next to him was full of expectation and seriousness.

When the Paigea couple heard what their daughter said, they also apologized to Otis and scolded Cornis softly: "Cornis, how can you talk to guests like this? The process of coming and going to Qinghai is so hard, you How could you bother Mr. Otis casually?"

"I want to go see it." Despite being taught by her parents, Cornish replied immediately, obviously a little reluctant, but at the same time, her voice became lower and lower every word, and she was obviously aware of the difficulties in the process and her own wrong.

Seeing that Cornis had realized her mistake after being reminded by the two of them, the Paigeas stopped talking to her for the time being, and instead turned to Otis to apologize.

But how could Otis take such a trivial matter to his heart? The reason why he was stunned was because he didn't expect Cornis to be so bold, and he was a little surprised by this incident. In fact, the little girl's innocent and expectant look not only did not trouble him but was quite amusing. So really speaking, it might be more of a pity to send Ge Ya and his wife to interrupt it.

So, in response to the apology from Paige and Ya, he simply waved his hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Cornis is just too curious. After all, even I, a Qinghai native, am looking forward to visiting those places, haha "

He continued to speak warmly: "And the journey in between is actually not very troublesome. It is true that I am taken care of by you here."

"Where?" Facing Otis's reply of thanks, the kind-hearted Paigea couple shook their heads repeatedly, obviously trying to be polite and deny the words, but before they could finish their words, they were interrupted by the voice next to them.

It's Cornish.

"Listen, brother said it's not difficult on the road," she said with a pout on her seat.

The three people who were talking naturally stopped due to this interruption, but their subsequent reactions were different.

Of course Paige and Ada were angry, but Otis finally couldn't stop laughing.

There is undoubtedly a reason for the difference between the two sides, and the reason is very simple.

The Paigea couple were naturally annoyed by their daughter's ignorance, not to mention how unreliable it was for Cornis, who was only seven years old, to go out and play in a distant place where she didn't even know where she was. Could it be that they were simply afraid of trouble? Does Otis disagree with this? Of course not, there is only one real reason, and that is danger.

After all, Otis is a stranger, and no matter how kind-hearted they are, they still have to be careful about this. In addition, the environment in Qinghai, the long distance, and all kinds of unknowns all present huge risks.

Finally, and most importantly, a major difficulty is clearly in front of us, and that is Sky Island itself. Maybe going to Qinghai is not a big problem, but it is too difficult to come back again.

As parents, Paige and the two were worried and troubled. In comparison, the reason for Otis' laughter was very straightforward. He simply found it interesting and fun.

Who would have thought that the gentle and quiet Cornish in the future would also be a naughty boy when she was a child? She would dare to say that she wanted to play with a stranger she had just met. This look was no different from Luffy meeting Shanks. Well.

But joking aside, Otis can also know the mood of Paige and the others, so as the instigator, he must still explain it to Cornis responsibly and dispel the little girl's whimsical idea, otherwise the conversation at the dinner table will be happy. , it’s not good if a good thing turns into a bad thing.

So Otis smiled and said: "It's not difficult for me to go to those interesting places by myself, but it's hard to bring a little tail who knows nothing."

"Who is the little tail?" Cornis asked with wide eyes at first. After she quickly realized that Otis was talking about her, she immediately said unconvinced, "I'm not just a little tail. I know a lot of things."

"for example"

"For example, for example," Cornis faltered, as if she had just realized that she actually didn't understand the longing and unknown journey at all.

The girl's little face slowly turned red, and Otis, who had intended to tease her, was overjoyed. Even Paige and Ada, who had been a little angry before, also burst into laughter because of their daughter's innocence and immaturity.

"So it's a pity, it seems that you can't go on adventures with me yet, Cornis." Otis smiled and touched Cornis' little head. "I will take you to play again if I have a chance in the future."

In this way, half amused and half serious, Otis dismissed the little girl's unrealistic ideas casually, and Paige and Ada on the side were also relieved.

After all, although this matter is small, it will always be a headache for parents if a child is willful. It will undoubtedly be nerve-wracking for them to deal with it, so it is best to have Otis, the person who brings up the topic, solve it.

However, they may still underestimate the stubbornness of children and ignore that even children of several years old still need to save face.

"Hmph, you are all bullying me," the little girl said angrily, but no matter what posture she put on with that child's look and expression, it would not make people scared, it would only make people feel coquettish and naive.

"Why did we bully you?" Otis pretended to be surprised.

Hearing this, Cornis immediately made a face at him: "You are still pretending not to know. The worst thing is you, big brother. You use such words to deceive children to deal with me."

She said crisply: "Isn't it just about going out? I will definitely know it. Even if there is something I don't know, I can still learn it."

As soon as these words came out, Otis was a little surprised by Cornis' persistence, and Paige and Ada even had a headache. They thought the problem had been solved.

But it's not a big deal. For Otis, prevaricating a child is not a casual matter. Even if the reason is not valid, just think of a few more words and tease him.

So he added: "Then you have to think clearly. The ocean in Qinghai is much larger than the sea of ​​clouds here. It takes a very hard voyage to go to any destination, and I don't have a boat now." Of course, even if I have a ship in the future, I won’t take a brat like you with me.”

"I'm not a kid." Cornis frowned in protest at first, and then said, "I'm not afraid of taking a boat either."

"Haha, it's not just about taking a boat. It's very difficult to have a real adventure and overcome the waves and changes on the sea." Otis said with a smile, "If a little girl like you can get on the boat, at least let me Think about it, well, unless you are one of those excellent navigators, a person that the crew all rely on, then even if you are a little guy like you, the sailors will have to accept and welcome you."

"Navigator" Cornis muttered softly.

Otis nodded, and then smiled at each other.

Of course, he didn't want Cornis to really know how to sail. This was just an excuse to put the little girl away.

The reason why I mention it is that Otis was still thinking about it when he was waiting for the sea current to reach the sky not long ago. On the other hand, it is precisely because of its difficulty and impossibility.

It is not easy to become a qualified navigator. Even if the qualifications, connections, and resources are slightly inferior, it is likely to be a waste of time. The golden lion that once made Otis frightened was defeated twice. They all fell under the celestial phenomena, and even the second time they tried their best to search and cultivate talents, it was to no avail.

This is true for Qinghai, let alone this empty island in Baibai Sea. The climate conditions between the two are very different, and the complexity is different. The most important thing is that even if you are a genius, you will not be able to find a way here where there are no relevant books and knowledge. Naturally, it is impossible to become a sailor. scholar.

Therefore, it can be said that Otis has a very bad conscience and simply pointed out a dead end for Cornis.

It’s just that no one would blame him for being like this. Instead, they would only approve. After all, as Cornis’ parents, didn’t Paige and Ada think of this before they smiled at Otis?

It's a pity that the young Cornis still doesn't know the insidiousness of adults. After whispering the unfamiliar term "navigator" twice, she raised her head and said confidently: "Okay, then I will work hard to become a navigator. Say yes." Come on, big brother, you won’t regret it when I succeed.”

Hearing this, Otis looked at each other with Paigea and his wife, then laughed and said: "No problem, if you really learn important skills, I will definitely take you to sail on the sea."
