Chapter 924 Mystery (Part 2)

the sea

Countless miracles and unknown journeys. There are also countless dangerous journeys, and people at sea understand this.

The "Thunder" trekked hard in the sea.

Black clouds hung over the sea, and violent rain lines were blown by the hurricane.

The deck struggled barely above the waterline, and from time to time it submerged the deck, taking away pale-faced sailors.

"Tighten the cargo!"

"Steady the rudder and continue eastward."

Captain Hagen roared.

However, torrential rain, storms, and sea waves occur all the time. A rope suddenly broke, and a sailor below was hit hard in the face by the thrown rope. He flew out and was instantly swept away by the big waves.

The "Thunder" swayed desperately.

"There is a lot of water in the cabin, captain!"

"Send more people to drain the water!" Captain Hagen roared.

At this moment, a blue light filled the front, and a huge lightning bolt pierced the sky in a pitch-black storm.

The hull shook violently.

"Land, that's land!" someone shouted.

"Land! Thank God, there's an island ahead!"

Hagen yelled, "Everyone get down and drain. Steer the boat and run it aground on the sand!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The storm gradually died down.

"Captain, it's an island, it looks deserted."

"Captain, our fresh water barrels are overturned, and there is no fresh water."

After a while, Hagen walked cautiously in the forest. Apart from Ficken, there were two sailors following him, each with a weapon in his hand, looking around vigilantly while walking.

They had almost run out of food on board, and there was little fresh water left after the storm.

Of course, the more important point is that the boat that survived the storm almost fell apart after barely touching the shore. In addition, the heavy rain that suddenly came when camping last night made everyone drown. Hagen and the others urgently need to find a shelter that can temporarily shelter from the wind and rain. Of course, the collection of food, fresh water and the search for ship repair materials are also the same problems they have to solve this time.

Considering many safety issues, Hagen only selected two strong and strong sailors for this inner island expedition. As for Fickon, he was still a three-pole fighter.

At this time, the sky had cleared up, and the morning sun was shining gently on the earth. Before they knew it, they had already left the station for a long distance.

The place where they are now is a sparse forest, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. This is normal, but for a group of people who have just walked out of the storm and the peculiar salty smell of the ocean. The fresh, sweet air is simply wonderful.

Breathing the fresh air greedily, everyone continued to walk forward. When a piece of flesh-colored mushrooms mixed in the green grass suddenly appeared in front of them, the only thing they did was desperately push them as far as possible. Pretending to be—after all, after eating salted fish for countless days, the temptation of fresh mushroom soup is almost irresistible to anyone.

At this moment, everyone except Hagen seems to be crazy. In fact, Hagen also hates the salted fish feast that lasts for many days.

While everyone was busy collecting, dozens of birds suddenly flew up from the woods not far away, screaming in fright in the air.

There is a situation!

The people who were busy collecting food just now became vigilant, the sailor immediately clenched the weapon in his hand, and Fickon even held a long sword, blocking Hagen behind him.

"Oh—" Just as everyone was holding weapons and ready to go, an animal rushed out of the woods.

Seeing everyone, his eyes immediately turned red.

Even Hagen, who didn't know much about species in the world, could tell that the animal that came out was not carnivorous.

It looks very much like a cow, but its body is slightly smaller. The brown-black animal fur and eyes that have become bloodshot at the moment are showing that it is very angry!

"It's the Wild Demon Bull!" Fiken suddenly shouted.

This kind of wild devil cow has thick skin. They feed on grass, but they have a tyrannical personality, stabbing each other to death with their horns.

"Kill him, we just take it back for dinner!" Hagen ordered.

Seeing the menacing wild devil bull, Hagen ordered.

Ficken next to him was a very qualified second officer, faithfully carrying out his mission, and the three rushed forward.

A moment later, the wild demon ox was killed, and Fiken mercilessly gave the wild demon ox a fatal blow!

After leveling the wild devil bull, he looked at the bloody corpse of the wild devil bull on the ground.

Hagen was very happy: "Everyone is not injured?"

"No, it's just a little scratched." The three subordinates said.

The wild devil beef is delicious. For those who have eaten salted fish for many days in a row, it is a crime to just throw them here and not take them away.

"Go back and report and move the cow back!" Hagen pointed to a sailor.

"Yes!" The sailor ran back immediately.

"Captain, when someone arrives, shall we move on?" Fickon asked.

Hagen was in good spirits, and stood up to look deeper into the forest: "Of course, we still need to find some materials to repair the boat. I walked all the way just now and found that the texture of the trees is stronger as I go in. It is suitable for repairing the boat. What's more, we not only need to prepare sufficient food, but also need to replenish some fresh water on board. As for the foothold, let's choose the beach first, and build some simple houses near the edge of the woods, so as to shelter from the wind The rain can also prevent the sudden situation just now.”

Ficken and the others also agreed with his arrangement, after a while. People came on the boat, and the four of them headed further afield.

Sure enough, a spring was found.

After returning, Hagen notified the people on board again.

At this time, the wild devil ox had already been skinned, and tree stands were temporarily turned into roasting poles, and the sailors started preparations in full swing.

After tossing all this, it was noon.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Hagen took a deep breath and was the first to eat.

There was no time to delay, and all preparations were in full swing. After lunch, the repairing of the ship began again.

"One, two, three, pull!" With a loud noise, another towering tree was brought down.

But at this moment, suddenly, the watchman issued a warning.

"Captain, I've noticed someone coming!"

"It's cavalry, there are even cavalry on this island!"

In the distance, ten cavalrymen appeared on the beach. The leader turned out to be a woman.

Hagen leaned up, and when he got closer, he saw that the woman was wearing a druid robe embroidered with five silver threads, and his face immediately changed. This is the mark of a fifth-level druid.

Behind this woman, nine cavalrymen were all wearing leather armor, with awe-inspiring eyes.

When Ficken saw it, he whispered, "Captain, this woman is not simple. Also, these cavalrymen are very strong."

Hagen's face was bitter, and he stepped forward slowly under the eyes of everyone.

"Who are you?" Ling Dang looked around and asked, she came with a cargo, but there was a storm, she didn't go back immediately, the storm died down, and she heard the report, and found the traces of outsiders entering.

"I am Hagen, the captain of the Thunderbolt. I encountered a storm and landed on this island. Who are you?"

"Hmph, ma'am, these people broke into the island, killed the bison on the island, and felled the trees on the island. According to the rules, we can take them all down." A cavalry captain said.

Bell shook his head and said, "This is Silia Island, and I am the hereditary Lord Silia. You said that I only landed in a storm?"

Hearing that this is an island with an owner, Hagen couldn't help but change his face.

What I have done, if I insist on pursuing it, I can be taken down by the nobles, even if I don't die, I will have to peel off the skin.

"My lord, I don't know that this island is your territory. I am willing to pay fifty gold coins as compensation." As he said that, his heart was bleeding, it was a lot of money.

"If you cut down trees and hunt bison in private, you will be punished. Just five gold coins. In fact, this beach is turned to the opposite side, which is our port. You can stop there, repair it, and pay the fine to the interior officer of the port. !” Bell said.

After speaking, she nodded and turned to leave.

"Ma'am?" After a few steps away, the captain asked, he is a relative of Ling Dang.

"You need to do things in the future. Now the port is just a few wooden piles, and the population is not much. If you do this, who will dare to come in the future?" Bell said coldly.

After following Romon for so long, she also learned a lot.

In the world, there are too many stupid people, even this relative is very greedy.

Ling Ding was already thinking about whether to kick him back next time and make him the captain of the guard of the territory, she was a little worried.

Without mentioning the bell, Hagen considered for a long time, and finally decided to follow her orders.

That afternoon, the boat was ready.

Under Hagen's command and deployment, the boat moved with difficulty. Sure enough, after turning around a sandy beach, the port was found a kilometer away. The port was very rough, just some wooden stakes, and a hotel.

To Hagen's relief, after paying five gold coins, the interior officer brought in some craftsmen, and also had fresh water and food supplements.

What pleased Hagen the most was that he found out that it was only two days away from the mainland by sea.

After a few drinks with the Home Affairs Officer, more news came out.

"Ms. Bell is the second wife of Earl Tetashaw. The Earl specially bestowed this island on his wife. Even though the island is small and deserted, there are many workers reclaiming and building it now!"

"Three manors have already been reclaimed. Although the current population is insufficient, with only one village's population, Barn is the owner of the business association and has already mobilized some people to come—although they haven't arrived yet."

"By next year, the ship will be able to stop here. Among other things, maintenance and supplies will be very convenient here."

"It turned out to be Count Tetashaw's wife, no wonder, come, let me buy you another drink!" Hagen thought, and shouted loudly again.

"Here we come!" the owner shouted happily. (!)
