Chapter 426: Pearl Island

"Come on, wipe the deck clean!"

"All the damaged places must be repaired, wake up, boys!"

A senior crew member waved his arms and shouted, directing the sailors to repair the damage caused by the previous competition between Allen and Regis. Some sailors complained: "It was obviously made by those two people, why should we fix it?"

"Asshole, Mrs. Allen is our honored guest. Besides, didn't you enjoy watching the fun before? Then it's normal to pay a viewing fee. No matter how verbose you are, I will deduct your salary!"

"I was wrong!" the sailor burst into tears.

In Roger's room, Alan stood beside a nautical chart spread out on a table. Roger pointed to a certain location on the nautical chart: "This is it, we will arrive at Pearl Island in the evening."

"Oh, supplies?".

Roger nodded: "This natural island is rich in pearls, and it is located in both Violet Harbor and Ark Harbor. That's right. It's in the middle, so it's usually used as a supply station by merchant ships. Moreover, the women on this island are very enthusiastic. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Alan intentionally or unintentionally, and the latter smiled a little embarrassedly. Roger coughed dryly, and said: "When we get to the island, we will take adults to see the unique customs of this island. We will stay here for a day, take a short rest, and then continue on the road. Then at most one week, we can arrive at Ark Harbor gone."

"Husband Roger." Geraph pushed the door open suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Maybe you should come to the deck."

"What's wrong?"

"We spotted a boat following behind."

The three came to the deck together, and a sailor slid down from the lookout. With a binoculars pinned to his waist, he pointed to the back of the boat and said, "Husband, a boat is following us. It's very fast, and it will catch up with us in a few minutes. I looked at the flag emblem , belongs to the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce."

"Blood Shark's ship has been modified and is usually faster than ordinary merchant ships. They may also be going to Pearl Island, but just in case, let everyone enter the battle position and prepare shells in case of accidents." Roger said anxiously.

Allen raised his eyebrows: "We can help."

"This sea battle is different from fighting on land. Lord Alan can watch the battle from the sidelines. If there is a battle, then please wait until the boarding stage." Roger said with a smile.

Allen has never experienced a naval battle.

Quite fresh. Hearing the words at the moment, he didn't insist, and nodded. He called Belmode over and asked him to inform the others and the soldiers to prepare for the attack.

After a while, the boat of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce came chasing after it. Their sailboats have longer hulls and are not as tall as the Paradise, giving them a light and fast feel. It can be seen that wooden pulps protrude from the bottom of the hull, and they are paddling neatly. Only then did Allen feel relieved. It turned out that their ships not only use wind power, but can also be accelerated by human power. No wonder they are much faster than the Paradise.

On the hull deck of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce, Allen saw the old man he had seen at the pier that day. He also looked over and smiled grimly at Allen. Suddenly, someone on the opposite ship let out an exclamation, and the bowstring of a heavy whaling crossbow shook, and a black harpoon was shot towards the Paradise.

Roger's expression changed.

The harpoon is not light in weight, and its power can be known just by listening to its whistling through the air. Not to mention the wooden hull of a sailboat, even an iron plate can have a hole in it. Just as Geraf was about to cut it, Allen had already drawn a flickering light by referring to the knife. Although this flash of flames was not as powerful as the one used by Qianjun, it flashed twice, crossed the harpoon, and cut it open in the middle.

The harpoon was suddenly cut open while moving at a high speed, and a burst of hot red light was flowing through the cuts on both sides, but the fork exploded in the air, flying by the left and right sides of the Paradise, and one of the fragments pierced the sail. Then it fell into the sea water behind, blowing up a small wave.

Fortunately no one was injured.

The old man on the boat over there saw Alan cut the harpoon lightly, the smile on his face froze, and then he raised his voice: "I'm very sorry, our tool is probably broken, didn't it scare you?"

"We are not so timid, but I would be happier if your tools were more broken." Alan's bright red pupils clearly reflected the figure of the old man: "Because in that case, probably Dropping your boat seems to be a matter of course!"

After all, Allen left the deck.

The old man of Blood Shark remained silent until Roger coughed dryly and said, "Husband Sal, please be more careful next time."

The old man snorted, and suddenly raised his foot to kick a sailor beside him, roaring angrily, "Look what you have done!"

Then got into the cabin.

The unlucky sailor who was under the steps could only check the so-called broken whaling crossbow with a sad face. After a small episode, the blood shark's boat quickly passed the Paradise and gradually disappeared from Roger's sight.

"Mend up the canvas and work hard for me. When you arrive at Pearl Island at night, you can rest." Roger said.

After the two ships left the sea area, the waves moved quietly, but a small head popped up from the sea. A pair of eyes as blue as the sea looked towards the direction the two ships were leaving, and after staring at them for a while, they sank into the sea again. At this time, a shark-like dorsal fin protruded out of the sea, followed by diving into the water, completely missing.

The sea area has returned to calm.

Pearl Island is located in the waters of Santa Terina, in the middle between Violet Harbor and Ark Harbor. This special geographical location makes this island popular with merchant ships. The island has become a necessary supply place for caravans, which has also brought business opportunities to the island itself. Gradually, people from the land moved to the island to settle down and started businesses in pearls and other industries. The island is also getting busier.

In the evening, the Paradise sailed into the port of Pearl Island. After Alan and others sailed at sea for nearly a week, they finally had the opportunity to touch land again. The happiest among them is Willick. Facts have proved that no matter how strong a person is, there are unknown weaknesses. For example, Willick, who would have thought that someone as brave as him would also have a weakness like seasickness. The Paradise sailed at sea for a week, and Willick was in a coma for seven days.

It was rare to get off the boat today, and after getting down to earth, Willick finally regained his spirits.

Roger and Allen disembarked together. After stepping on the ground, the slave trader glanced at the port and said "Huh" softly.

"What's the matter, husband Roger?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little strange that I can't see the blood shark ship. Don't these guys plan to resupply at Pearl Harbor?". Roger shook his head.

Allen glanced at the ships moored in the port, but he did not see the ship of the Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce. Logically speaking, they should have arrived at Pearl Island ahead of the Paradise. Roger coughed lightly and said, "Ignore them, it would be better if those annoying guys didn't settle down on Pearl Island."

"Master Alan, Pearl Island has another nickname. People also call it the Island of Hot Springs. Because there are many hot springs here, after dinner, I will take you to see them. I will call some warm and beautiful The island women, they are known as the daughters of the sea, they are warm and open. I think they will leave you with a good memory." Roger laughed.

Allen said with a dry smile: "I agree with hot springs. As for women, let Roger's husband enjoy it by himself."

"Why? Oh, I remembered. I heard that Lord Alan has two young and beautiful girls by his side. If it's because of this, I can understand." Roger said "I understand".

Allen was unwilling to explain further, so the group left the pier talking and laughing. The area of ​​Pearl Island is not large, and the permanent population is only about one or two hundred people. There is no city on the island, only a fishing village. After Pearl Island became lively, the fishing village has undergone many expansions. Now there are several hotels, two bars, and several bathhouses in the village.

During the pearl harvest season, a large number of merchants who buy pearls will come to the island, and that is the busiest time for Pearl Island. Now it seems quieter, but there are also two or three merchant ships resupplying on Pearl Island, so the village is also quite lively. Roger was very familiar with it, and led Alan and others to invest in a hotel in the village with its own hot spring bathhouse. As for the sailors and Alan's soldiers, they naturally stayed on the boat overnight. After all, Pearl Island didn't have so many hotels for them. use.

After a dinner full of seafood, Roger took Alan to a hot spring. Presumably Roger is already a regular guest of this hotel, so the hotel owner specially opened an open-air bathroom for the two of them. Soaking in the spring water with just the right temperature, Allen felt quite comfortable, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is there a hot spring on this island?"

"Because there is a dormant volcano under Pearl Island. In fact, there are three such volcanoes on the sea of ​​Santa Terina. They are collectively called the Three Pillars of Vulcan. There is an interesting legend in the empire. It is said that when the three pillars of Vulcan erupt at the same time, Santa Terina will become a real sea of ​​fire. The wrath of Vulcan will turn into magma rolling forward, and they will cross the sea and pour into the empire. At that time, it will be the empire end."

Roger shrugged: "However, these three active mountains are all dormant. Some scholars predict that there will be no traces of any active volcanoes for at least two hundred years, let alone three simultaneous eruptions. So, this The legend is probably made up by those boring people."

"It's better to hope that this kind of thing doesn't happen," Allen said.

"Yes, after all, if such a disaster really happens, the port cities like our Violet Harbor will suffer first."

At this time, a woman's chuckle sounded outside the bathroom. Then the door of the bathroom was opened, and several young women with dark skin but sexy figures walked in, wearing bathrobes. The first person winked at Roger and said, "So you are here, husband Roger."
