[comprehensive] red tide

Tahiti, located somewhere in the New World, is also known as the Island of Eternal Night.

Only a few days a year can see the sunrise, and the rest of the time is shrouded in darkness. Because of this special weather, a certain ancient industry is especially prosperous in Tahiti.

Especially since the era of the Great Pirates, adventurers swarmed here, leading to the rise of countless taverns and hotels on the island. Every ray of air is filled with the smell of alcohol, tobacco and perfume, and girls with gorgeous makeup can be seen everywhere. A school of sound/color/dogs and horses, a scene of drunkenness and gold.

The whole island is like an insatiable desire.

…………

Leaving also revealed that I boarded a merchant ship that happened to pass by, landed on the nearest island, and spent some time trying to locate Tahiti. Perhaps the space magnetic field in the great channel was too turbulent, and I failed several times before arriving.

The advantage is that I vaguely found out the rules of using several travel spell cards. If the distance is too long, the space jump will easily fail, and there will still be deviations in the clear location. The safest way is to leave the traces of the mind at the destination; after reaching this conclusion I was very fortunate that Yishenlu buried the coin with gas on it, otherwise, I'm afraid I'd go a long way when I want to go back.

There are countless women named Lilith in Tahiti, the name of the Goddess of the Night~ No wonder it is so common; after wandering around the island for a few days, finally, I finally found clues that seemed to be me looking for that person.

This Lilith runs a small hotel in a remote area behind Jiuliao Street.

Thanks to the nightclub girl who provided the information, I turned into the street corner along the route she narrated, passed through the dark and narrow alleyway, startled a few pairs of dewy mandarin ducks hiding in the corner, and finally saw the clichéd signboard of the hotel amidst rough laughter.

Pushing open the door, you will be greeted by golden lights, and the faint fragrance passing through your nose, which does not belong to any kind of fragrance, but the smell is like a residence, mixed with a little food and a little warmth, which makes the exhausted people feel infinite place to expand.

A very strange place.

After a slight pause, I looked around the room. The layout was the same as that of an ordinary hotel lobby. The feet and ceiling were made of wood. Under the light, the primary color wood exuded the traces of being smudged by time.

Since the environment is no different, then...

I walked to the counter with my luggage. The woman took off the cigarette from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Welcome."

Those who can?Reflected in the eyes, the beautiful woman's body is lingering with a shallow air, and the strands of it expand outward, like a spider web; I put the luggage anywhere, and I raise my hand and put it on the counter, revealing the nails tied by the silk rope between the wrists. Cover-sized stones.

…………

"Hailoushi?" The woman was slightly taken aback, then she smiled and dispersed her breath, "I'm sorry, I thought it was a visitor."

"I'm staying in the hotel." I told the other party inexplicably, and I was also considered a guest.

The woman blinked mysteriously, put the cigarette in her hand to the corner of her mouth, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring. The corners of her lips curled up in the smoke, "I mean the kind of money master who is generous."

"I don't have any needs in this regard." With a twitch of the corner of my eye, I took out the money bag and threw it in front of her, "One room." Then I pointed out with deep meaning, "Be quiet."

The strange feeling that made people want to stay disappeared with the woman's restraint, but I decided to stay; after receiving the room card and key thrown by the woman, I bent down and picked up my luggage and walked towards the stairs.

"Oh guest, this restaurant provides three meals for free, but it does not include drinks and special/services. If you are hungry, come to the lobby to find me."

The sweet and greasy words that caught up behind me made me stop, and nodded hastily, my eyes quickly passed behind her, and I looked back and staggered upstairs to find a place to sleep.

I haven't closed my eyes for several days and nights in a row, even if I lose the influence of my ability, I can't hold on; no matter what, let me sleep first, and then plan to talk after I wake up.

[Lilith of Tahiti], presumably referring to this beautiful woman, if not she must be related, evidenced by the charcoal drawing hanging on the wall behind her.

The same painting exists in the centerfold of the adventure biography that I read halfway through, the three-masted sailing ship among the waves, the expedition ship North Haim of Wenbrand Rolando.

Even the signature on the lower right corner is exactly the same, so it is probably genuine.

I found the room by the key card, locked it with my hands after entering, threw the luggage away, and rushed towards the bed.

You can only think about other things if you have enough energy. Anyway, there is still more than a month. As a last resort, I don't mind using some small means to pry her mouth open.

Now go to bed, lift the quilt to cover my head, close my eyes, and quickly throw myself into the arms of the sleeping god.

It is a good thing to be able to travel to and from different places in a very short period of time, but the cost is a bit heavy... The consumption is too huge, and the income and expenditure are not equal. After personal experience, I personally said that I still need to find out if there are other shortcuts.

…………Dividing line…………

No matter how tired the subconscious is in a strange place, I can’t relax. I can’t sleep in a daze. Every once in a while, I always wake up suddenly. In addition, I don’t know when it started. There are strange sounds from the next room, which seem to be absent, intermittently, But it didn't stop, which made me feel worse.

Perhaps it was because I was too comfortable during the recuperation period, and I was spoiled, and the anger of not being able to sleep was satisfied. After repeated disturbances, it finally turned into a strong low pressure.

After getting up and washing up, I unlocked/released the spell card, tucked under my arm the biography of the adventure that I hadn’t found time to continue after reading half of it, picked up the room card key and went downstairs, ready to eat something, and find trouble along the way.

Walking down the stairs, the lobby is still brightly lit. Even the posture of the proprietress leaning on the counter is the same as when I came here, except that she is talking and laughing with the two people in front of her in a low voice, and there are more people with different styles in the hall , The tables and chairs in the hall were fully occupied, and there was a lot of noise and noise.

Is this... peak business season?I walked past a group of big guys who were obviously drunk, walked to the counter, pulled a chair to sit in a corner, and reminded the proprietress, "I'm hungry..."

The proprietress glanced at me, then took out a small basket from the counter, took out a cup and a water bottle, put them together on a tray, brought them to me, and said in a surprised tone, "Finally woke up, you slept for five days."

"If it wasn't for knocking on the door, something would always hit the door panel and make me roll, and I would almost let someone break in." Pouring the milk in the kettle into the cup and pushing it to me, her eyes were very strange, "Why, don't you?" woke up?"

I picked up the glass, poured the milk into my mouth, and after swallowing it, I replied gloomyly, "The neighbor next door was too excited/screaming for hours on end, and told you to be quiet, he, Mom, noisy, dead."

There was a sound of puffing from a distance, as if some one had sprayed the water, the proprietress choked, she was silent for a few seconds, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, "Sorry~ I don't know why the business has been very good these two days."

…………

I stared at her silently for a while, then said dully, "Business is booming, it's a good thing."

After looking at each other for a long time, the proprietress found an excuse and walked away. There was nothing else to say, so I could only calm down, took the kettle and poured another glass of milk, tore open the croissants in the basket, soaked in milk, and ate slowly.

While eating, I opened the story and took the time to read the long-awaited follow-up.

The last time I saw the expedition ship North Haim sail away from the Golden Land, Vinbrand Rolando swore in the singing of the island that he would return to his friends again in his lifetime...

It's a pity that the well-known children's books in Beihai gave this story a very sad ending.

"What book are you reading?" Someone approached me and asked.

The clear and slightly immature voice seemed particularly strange in such an ignorant environment. I looked away from the pages of the book, turned my eyes to the side, and took a closer look at the person who had just approached and asked questions. I was slightly taken aback.

The exaggerated attire is like the little prince of European style in fairy tales, with a somewhat childish face, his age is between children and teenagers... Minors actually come to Night Island for entertainment?

My eyes flicked past the young man, and the rest of the people at the counter could only see their backs. However, this did not prevent me from silently spurning each other... just now, the two of them were chatting with the proprietress at the counter. I thought they were 'ordinary customers', but I didn't think about it, the short one is too tender, isn't it?

out to play?playing what?Who plays whom?

Embarrassed, I remained calm and pushed the book in my hand towards the boy who stretched his neck and stared at it. I was secretly happy that I finally found a reason to open up the conversation without leaving a trace.

It is obviously too reckless to ask questions for no reason, and it is easy to arouse others' vigilance. I am worried about what reason to use as an entry point to lure/lure the proprietress to see the book in my hand. Now this boy asking questions is like being given a pillow when he is sleepy.

So, don't worry about it, he is not a small problem.

…………

"Winbrand Rolando's adventure biography, the author is his navigator..." I glanced at the proprietress a few meters away, and continued meaningfully, "Belo Monte Boren."

"Oh~ I know, big talker." The boy twitched the corners of his mouth, as if thinking about something, "Saqi is also from Beihai."

"My book is different, it's not a bedtime story." Seeing the boy's eyes suddenly lose interest, I retracted the story book, and slowly stroked the yellowed pages with my fingers.

"After hundreds of years of Liar King, the story has been changed again and again. In order to 'give children profound educational significance', the detailed description has been deleted and altered beyond recognition, and the plot is full of loopholes; I have the original version in my hand. What does this mean for these islands?

If it is said that my original intention at the beginning was to test the innkeeper's wife's reaction to the surname 'Bello Monte', now I probably want to clarify for that man.

The churning emotion in my heart is like whenever I read the slander against Gold Roger in the newspapers and books for 21 years, I can't help but want to do something.

"Wenbrand Rolando led the fleet over the Upside Down Mountain. Although it turned back halfway, the route did pass through many islands; even now, the great channel is still a natural barrier that is difficult to conquer, let alone at that time?"

I stared gloomyly at the young man with wide-eyed eyes and a face full of astonishment, and whispered the information I pieced together from the books and materials about the North Sea that Mary had collected for Belo Monte Norn in the past 50 years.

…………

"The truth is, the hero returned to his hometown, but the king he served has died. Things are different, and the new ruler purged a large number of courtiers in order to consolidate his position, even at the expense of accusations."

"400 years of lies to cover up the truth, that man died with unwarranted slander."

"Wenbrand Rolando is not a king of lies, he is a great adventurer." I closed my eyes and suppressed the burning bitterness in my throat, "A man like that doesn't bother to lie."

Therefore, no matter how rumored the world is, Gol D Roger is definitely not a villain, devil/ghost, murderer/maniac.

My memory was missing a long time ago. Perhaps those struggles were too fierce, which caused my mind to be in a state of madness and chaos for a long time. After I was fully awake, the things I could remember became fragmented.

The memories and the past before becoming Nicole Robin may all be pieced together from information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

However, even if everything is illusory, in the pitifully short time I walked with him, the soul that I saw, that was so dazzling and beautiful like the sun that I longed for, must be real.

Therefore, even if the memories are scattered, I firmly believe that the beginning of the legend in my impression, Gol D Roger, is a well-deserved king.
