Chapter31 【Thank you, Uncle!】
"On the 16th day of the Cold Wind Month in the year 1636 of the Great Navigation Calendar, it was sunny.
Taking advantage of the good weather, I quickly sailed away from Nassau. I had to rush back to Innsmouth before the freezing moon arrived.
I drove the boat northwest and sailed along the route until the afternoon. I finally saw the three-eyed skull (there are aggravated scratches here). There was no problem with the route and everything was on the right track.
On the seventeenth day of the Cold Wind Month in the year 1636 of the Great Navigation Calendar, there was heavy fog.
One bad day, it was foggy when I woke up in the morning, and my first mate Paige told me that it was actually foggy last night. This damn idiot, if it was foggy last night, he should have killed me last night.
Shout out, I must consider putting this pig-like guy in the sea and replace him with a new first mate.
Then, sure enough, my navigator told me we were off course, and damn, I wanted to kill someone.
At night, before the fog cleared, I killed a disobedient guy. This guy dared to look at my hands. He deserved to die.
Fortunately, my navigator brought some good news. He said that there were fluorescent colors on the sea surface ahead, which were traces of migrating fluorescent fish. He had heard someone say that they were northeast of the Three-Eyed Skull (there are aggravated scratches here)
, there will be fluorescent fish migration during this season, and there is an island nearby that can be temporarily replenished, and there is fresh water on the island.
On the eighteenth day of the Cold Wind Month in the year 1636 of the Great Navigation Calendar, there was no fog.
We finally found the island. After replenishing the Danshui, we reestablished our course and cut back from the southwest (there are aggravated scratches here).
We set sail again, the wind direction was very good, and we followed the southwest line. About half a day later, we saw a strange coconut tree isolated on a small piece of soil in the middle of the sea (there were aggravated scratches here).
(A black scratch, the original content has been erased, it is unclear what was written)
Mouse Hunter and Curly-eared Marvin are both dead, so we can't stay here any longer. Although Page is indeed a fool, he persuaded me to come back next time, next time..."
This was the content in Ironhand Burt's logbook that he touched the most.
It did look quite suspicious. He kept marking things that could confirm the direction, and finally pointed to a coordinate, a strange coconut tree. There must be something there, and they had experienced a lot of dangers, and they were still alive.
Few people.
As a result, Ironhand Burt still couldn't forget it. It seemed that the things there were very attractive to him. A treasure land?
After Li Jiu read it, he immediately asked Toller to look for the first mate named Page among the prisoners, if he was still alive.
About ten minutes later, Toller brought the man, a rather bloated fat man who seemed to be in a bad mental state. While being driven away by Toller, he seemed to be saying to himself: "I'm not the first mate.
I've already said, I'm not the first mate, I'm just a board worker, please let me go, I don't know anything, nothing..."
"What don't you know?" When Toller exited the captain's cabin, Li Jiu stared at him with sea-blue eyes.
Page stopped talking for a moment. His eyes were very bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time. He took a deep breath.
"Tell me, what is this." Li Jiu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and threw the key part of the logbook in front of him.
In the end, he just took a look. As if he had received some extremely violent stimulation, he almost jumped up from the chair and fell to the ground. He hugged his head, curled up, and trembled all over, muttering to himself:
"Don't... don't kill me... I won't say it... I really won't say it... don't kill me..."
Seeing that this guy was basically unable to communicate, Li Jiu had no choice but to go find Sophie and give him a soothing blow.
After an hour, the former first mate Page finally calmed down a little and was able to communicate basically.
Under the pressure of Li Jiu's inspiring and charisma, he finally began to explain.
"After that incident... In addition to the dead people, the Iron Hand boss slowly killed other brothers who knew about it. I was the last one. I can feel that he... first took me from the first mate
Adjust the position... Within a few days... I found that my water had been poisoned... When I went to sleep at night... someone seemed to be outside the door..."
"So, what did you find in that place?" Li Jiu didn't have time to listen to him tell the history of his sufferings. It's not surprising for a beast like Burt the Iron Hand to do such a thing. Besides, you are all pirates.
Didn’t you already have your head hanging on your belt?
As a pirate, this guy is really a bit timid.
Page was stunned for a moment, took a few breaths, and finally said: "We rescued a person. That person... was a member of an exploration ship. They were salvaging the sunken ship in that place..."
"Shipwreck?" It turned out to be a sunken ship. That's no wonder. Sunken ships often represent huge wealth and secret treasures.
"Which era was the shipwreck?"
"It was a privateer treasure ship from Reims during the Edward III period. It was originally going to sail back to Reims from Nassau, but it sank unexpectedly. It contained a large amount of treasure, as well as magic potions and some precious phantoms." He said.
At this point, Page was speaking more and more smoothly, as if he had vomited out something that had accumulated in his stomach, and felt relieved.
Li Jiu, on the other hand, heard his breathing quicken. No wonder Iron Hand Bert kept thinking about it. It would be difficult for Li Jiu to resist.
Forget about those treasures, there are still magic potions and precious phantoms?
The so-called Noble Phantasm is an extraordinary item, similar to Song of the Faceless Man.
This is a completely extraordinary arsenal.
If anyone can get it, their strength will expand rapidly.
However, the danger is also very high. Not to mention extraordinary items, magic potions are actually very unstable. It has been buried for so many years, and it is still unknown what changes have taken place in that place.
It can be used as a treasure hunt direction in the future, but you need to plan in advance and understand everything.
This maritime counterattack was really full of surprises. Regarding this, Li Jiu could only say:
Thank you, Uncle!
"Can I...can I go?" Page revealed the secret and asked with some trepidation.
"Don't worry..." Seeing that Peppa became nervous because of his words again, Li Jiu laughed, "Relax, don't be afraid. You told me about the shipwreck and made a contribution. I will reward you. You will be the one from now on."
Those prisoners are dead, so you don’t have to stay in the cabin anymore, let’s go have something to eat and drink.”
Li Jiu had seen this Peppa Pig with his discerning eye. He had mediocre qualifications, no extraordinary talent, and was a bit timid and afraid of getting into trouble. However, he had a cautious personality and careful work, so he was a good candidate for overseeing the work.
Besides, we will have to rely on him for treasure hunting later on, so let’s give him some sweetness first.
After sending Page away, Li Jiu spent the afternoon reading in the captain's cabin.
When the sun was about to set, Shell Island arrived.
