The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.
Chapter 871 Robin and Fitz
Robin didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes and took off her sunglasses, she found herself lying on a beach.
Maybe because it was getting dark, there was no one near the beach. The woman stood up from the mark of the huge bear's paw and carefully surveyed the surrounding scenery with her eyes.
The beach under your feet is very small, and you can see the end at a glance. Not far away there is a white-painted lighthouse, which is the only building in this area.
Apart from the desert and the lighthouse, all you can see are rugged mountains. Perhaps only plants can live on them. If Robin goes to another place, he can intuitively feel the precipitous strait and towering mountains.
"Will the Revolutionary Army set up its headquarters in a place like this?" Robin was full of doubts about the destination this time. The surrounding sea area should be full of reefs, which is not suitable for building a new port or docking ships.
It is a good place for seclusion with beautiful scenery, but it is not suitable for people to enter and exit. This kind of rugged mountainous area has very little arable area. It is not an easy thing to survive on such an island with poor natural conditions.
Robin thought she had arrived at Baldigo (the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army), but she soon realized that she was wrong. She had never even heard of the name of this place.
The area was deserted, so Robin headed towards the lighthouse, following the guidance of the light, ready to seek refuge from the owner of the tower.
Sleeping on the beach at night is not a good choice. The night breeze is erosive and will cause illness if you stay there for a long time. Robin doesn't want to get sick in a strange place. Medicines are very precious in the world of pirates, and the poorer the place, the more expensive the medicine.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a white lighthouse nearly three stories high appeared in front of them. However, the door of the lighthouse was closed and a faint light could be seen from inside. Robin knew that he had come uninvited, so he gently knocked on the door with his fingers to let the people in the lighthouse get ready.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here? I'd like to stay for one night."
There was no response in the house to Robin's first request. She thought her voice was too soft, so she took a deep breath, raised her voice, and repeated what she had just said.
This time the effect was very obvious. There was a noise inside the lighthouse, and a light and hurried sound of footsteps stopped at the door of the lighthouse. "Are you here to deceive me again? Are you annoying, you ugly bastards?"
The door of the lighthouse was opened from the inside. Robin did not expect that the person living in the lighthouse was not a human being, but a blue-skinned murloc that was less than one meter tall, holding a blue trident in his hand. His ugly and cute appearance made the woman recognize the true identity of the lighthouse owner.
Isn't this the little fish man Fitz? Robin didn't expect to meet him here, "You should have seen me on the sky, Fitz, I am not your enemy."
With the help of the light from the lighthouse, the little fishman could clearly see the human's appearance. The other party had no snake tail below the waist, dark and smooth skin without snake scales, and black, shiny and smooth hair, which was something that that underwater race could only encounter but could not achieve.
"Robin?! It's really you, how come you are here?" Fitz realized it a little bit later, but he finally recognized Robin's appearance. He didn't expect that a man and a fish would meet in such a situation.
Fitz invited Robin into the lighthouse and asked the woman to go upstairs and sit for a while. At the same time, Fitz locked the door of the lighthouse to prevent invasion by foreign enemies while they were sleeping.
The lighthouse has three floors in total. The first floor is a storage room. As Robin walked along the way, he saw some boxes and several snake skins hanging to dry. An unpleasant fishy smell lingered for a long time.
The second floor of the lighthouse is Fitz's living area. The bedroom, kitchen, and living room are all separated into various functional areas. Robin found a chair and sat down, enjoying the night sea view through the window on the second floor.
The third floor of the lighthouse is a bit like a lookout tower. It can be used for living but is mostly used to monitor the sea. A lot of weapons have been piled up there by Murloc. I wonder who Fitz is guarding against here.
When he first met the little fishman, he was more enthusiastic than he had imagined. He found a clean blanket for Robin and asked her to put it on to keep warm. Then he heated up some black bread in the kitchen to help the woman relieve her hunger. She could have a bite at night and think about having a big meal tomorrow.
Robin sympathized with Fitz's rather embarrassing situation. He had been flying in the sky for almost two days without eating. Even though the black bread had no taste, the woman still ate it with relish.
The only fresh water in the lighthouse is rum, and Robin can only hold the wine bowl to quench his thirst. After the little fishman Fitz finished all this, he sat quietly opposite Robin, looking carefully at the woman in front of him to compare her with the sky. Is there any discrepancy?
In reality, the man and the fish met for the first time, but according to the future scene presented by the sky curtain, they became friends who could talk about anything and would live on a boat in the future. Their relationship was heating up rapidly and they lost their vigilance towards strangers.
After a quick bite to eat and drink, Robin asked the question he wanted to know most: "Where is this place, Fitz? Are you the only one living on this island?"
After listening to this, the little fish man shook his head. The area where Fitz lived was only a tiny part of the entire area. The reefs around the coast were too dense and the surrounding soil was severely eroded by sea water, making it difficult for humans to survive in this area.
The reason for building a lighthouse here is to remind local ships not to go to the location of the light source. If ships dare to approach the shore, they will end up with the ship destroyed and people killed.
"This is Bilgewater, a pretty complicated place. There are no laws or no nobility, and order is maintained by the dock workers and gangs near the port. But it's become more and more lively recently." Fitz went to the port recently and always saw some unfamiliar faces nearby. Many outsiders came here to make a living.
Robin had never heard of the name Bilgewater and guessed that it was a newly emerging port city. There were many such islands on the sea. Before the maritime trade business was developed, people overseas had no memory of these islands.
Robin soon heard a familiar person from Xiaoyu's mouth. The shipping king Umit had recently started to invest in the port, using a combination of money and sticks to encircle a large piece of land, saying that he would set up the shipping headquarters here. The scale of investment was quite large, and the huge economic benefits brought attracted many ambitious people.
Even the stevedores at the docks temporarily became construction workers in Umit. It has been a long time since Bilgewater has become so lively and full of opportunities, which is totally incompatible with the dark and humid environment here.
The woman asked Fitz who he was guarding against. The reason he took up arms was to fight against a terrible creature, a deep-sea monster called Naga.
Who is the king of the ocean, Naga or mermaid? No one can tell until the winner is decided.
