Li Yi wants to achieve the predetermined goal, get the young spirit of the Siren Siren, make a successful finish, and end the sea journey.
"The long journey is really tiring, it's time to go back, too much time always consumes people's blood, is this life?" Li Yi sighed.
Jacinto said goodbye to the flamboyant barmaids, who refused to be retained, and squeezed out a few tears of pretense for the barmaids, who were eager to tie him with a rope when they saw that they were about to lose this wealthy benefactor.
"If this guy showed his true form, would he scare them all away?" Li Yi thought evilly.
The Leonardo is a coal-burning steamship, with three towering chimneys emitting black smoke all the time, the first class cabin on board is for the explorer, the second class is for the rich and the cheap is of course for the poor.
The owner of the ship, a little old man who had a pipe in his mouth all day long, occasionally smoked cigars and cigarettes, and wore that old chef's suit, which, like his boat, was tattered and patched. The Leonardo also seems to have experienced a lot of wind and rain, and there are many traces of repairs, and there are even traces of breaking in the stern, if it is not for the smooth ride, those on board will definitely be restless.
"Hey, old man, why is your ship so broken?" Li Yi, who was holding a fishing rod, met the owner of the boat, who was also holding a fishing rod, the old man's face was very round, the tip of the nose was even rounder, the tip was a little red, and on it were two small but very gentle eyes that were deeply wrinkled.
"Hey, Leonardo is an old sailor, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen? You young people are just too young to know that ships have souls, and they will learn, and the older the ships, the more they understand the habits of the sea, so those new ships are often prone to sink. The old man touched his nose. Hanging a one-foot-long bait with a silver hook, he was very old, but his arms were knotted and strong, and his waist was thick and powerful, like the mainmast of a sailing ship. It seems that he wants to catch big fish.
"Old man, what soul can a ship have to meet an idealist here. Also, with such a big bait, can you do it with your waistboard? Li Yi smiled and swung out the fishing line, and Sesibei hugged his arm tightly, so he could only use one hand to fish.
"Don't call me old man, it's rude. Call me Mr. Lucas, boy, even if I can't pull it up, I don't need your help, haha! The old man laughed, and his temper seemed to be very strange.
"Yes, old man, oh. No, old man Lucas. ”
"That's right. Boy, what's wrong with this girl next to you? It looks like a lost soul. Lucas asked, frowning.
Seeing the old man staring at her, Sesibe was so frightened that he hid in Li Yi's arms, burying his head deeply, Li Yi hurriedly comforted her, "This old man looks like an onion that hasn't been peeled." But it's not a bad guy either, don't be afraid. ”
"Is there something wrong with it?"
"Well, I'll cure her." Li Yi replied blandly.
Lucas seemed to feel the heaviness of his words, and became silent, concentrating on catching his fish.
"Hey. Old Mr. Lucas, at your age, what are you still doing at sea if you don't find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire? After a while, Li Yi couldn't wait for the fish to be baited, and started chatting with the old man again.
"I am a man born on the sea, a son of the sea, of course I will die on the sea, just like a ship will sink one day!" Lucas took out half of the cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it, squinting at the sunset on the horizon in the distance, sprinkling the orange sunlight on the sea surface layer by layer, this thick ink and light stroke, adding a brilliant color to the vast sea.
"A man must look up at the sky and the sea, and his heart will be broad!" He added heroically.
"Do you think I'm going to think you're not easy to say? Will it be in awe? In fact, everyone understands this kind of idiotic truth, old man, if you don't find a good girl when you're young, you'll be left alone when you're old! Li Yi took off the hat on his head and put it on Cerseibe.
Lucas stopped talking, and the smile on his face drooped, as if he had hit the nail on the head, he had been at sea all his life, and regarded the sea as his hometown, so naturally no girl wanted to marry him, a man who was precarious and adrift on the sea all year round. There are a lot of sexual encounters, after all, when he was young, he was still strong and handsome, and there were a lot of green silk stored in the silver box hanging on his chest and pocket watch, and those beautiful memories were like this sunset, gorgeous but difficult to reach.
"Haha, what do you still want to do with these regrets when you're old? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do something you like quietly? Li Yi's wrist was forced, and the fishing line swayed back and forth in the seawater, and then, a silver-scaled fish was pulled out of the water and splashed golden in the twilight.
"You kid, you're very slippery, but I was led away by you." Lucas laughed.
It didn't take long for his fish to be hooked, and it was surprisingly large, estimated to be more than five feet long, and struggled violently in the seawater, as if it was about to break the line, "It's a big guy!" Give it to me! ”
Lucas bit the handle of his pipe hard, his face flushed, and the red on the tip of his nose deepened, like a ripe apple, and the unconcealed joy bloomed from his wrinkled old face.
In the evening, the people on the boat drank the delicious fish soup, and Hacinto sat next to Li Yi, suddenly, put down the spoon, and said to him: "Although human beings have not evolved, but the development of food cooking has advanced by leaps and bounds. ”
"It's strange, aren't you lonely when you've been alone at the bottom of the sea for so long?"
"Because there is no reason to leave, and besides, it is lonely to leave, but now that it is good, change is always pleasing to the eye." Jacinto is always unhurried and not as intimidating as he is at the bottom of the sea, a highly magnetic bass.
"Li Yi, lend me your Explorer Medal." Jacinto made the request suddenly.
"Hmm." Li Yi didn't pay much attention to it, and took out his white-level explorer medal and handed it over.
"How are you white-level, I thought you were a green-level explorer!" He was a little disappointed.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
"There are a lot of beautiful female explorers on board, alas, but it's a pity that the young cubs are jealous of my old man. It's not easy to be an explorer! By the way, lend Felder to me again. ”
"Well, Felder, you go with him, and remember to tip." Li Yi instructed, and Felder was also happy to go.
There are many Green-class explorers on board. Most of them are one or two gold-level beginners with green-level peaks, and their strength is weak. Really powerful explorers have their own fleets and will not choose this kind of passenger ferry to travel, Li Yi is an exception. Jacinto went to the women's place every night to drink and play cards, and he was very happy.
It's evening again, it's not so cold, and many travelers have changed into spring clothes - shirts and tank tops. Evening was a good time to come out of the cabin to get some air, the deck was full of tables and chairs, and Jacinto and Li Yi found a place to sit on the side of the ship. The evening breeze is slightly cool, mixing the rich vapor of the sea with the aroma of barbecued meat.
"Two glasses of cherry soju, a glass of pomegranate dew for this kid, and barbecue and fish, all for it." Jacinto took it upon himself to order.
Li Yi habitually frowned, expressing dissatisfaction. Sesibei is no longer very afraid of people, she still can't do without Li Yi, when she sleeps at night. You have to put your arms around him to fall asleep, for that. Jacinto often asked jokingly, "Hey, boy, you've slept with this girl, what are you going to do with her in the future?" ”
"First, sleep with her, not with her. Second, it is normal for a father to sleep with his daughter, at most to prolong her father-love period, and adolescence is a little rebellious. Li Yi rolled his eyes.
"Alas. You live a simple life like a cynic, an Ascensian in terms of asceticism, and you are so young that you have a frowning brow. Jacinto commented.
"Oh, I haven't heard of such a whole bunch of new terms." Li Yi used a silver spoon to feed the pomegranate dew and grouper meat little by little.
"Oh, another shrimp soup!" Jacinto's eating arose, and he swallowed a lot of chili grilled fish in his stomach, as well as whole leg of lamb, large hanging grilled sausages, and rum.
"If you continue to eat like this, sooner or later you will be exposed, and you will already exceed the limits of human beings."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
The boat was very lively, and the waiters walked through the crowd, bringing plates of dishes and dumping scraps and bones into the sea, and suddenly, Jacinto had some strange expressions on his face, "There are guests coming, and they are also here to join the party?" ”
Li Yi was taken aback, Hacinto's perception range was many times larger than he didn't know, and he must have discovered something.
A little strong light came from afar, like a pillar of light that suddenly appeared on a dark stage, especially dazzling.
"What's that?"
"How can there be lights? Is it another ship? ”
"I don't know, but it's rude!"
The people talked about it, not knowing what was happening, but Lucas looked grim, "It could be a pirate, increase the horsepower, and go to the furnace to add coal, throw away the load, and drain the water from the bilge!" ”
"Old man, you can't run away, the other party has already chased five hundred meters, and the speed is three or four times that of Leonardo, accept your fate!" Li Yi patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, the pirates don't look down on your broken ship, what are you afraid of, they robbed that group of explorers." ”
"Nonsense! How can you be tied? When you meet a pirate, you are at a loss, crying and crying, that's a girl, it's not what a good captain should do, what is a pirate? What pirates have I not seen? Lucas trembled with anger, he took out his pipe and lit it, and looked at the sea with angry eyes, "These insatiable and unearned crumbs don't want to catch up with my ship!" ”
"Well, I'm just stating to you a fact, it's a sure thing, just like a man who can't swim will drown if he falls into the sea." Li Yi shrugged and returned to his seat.
Sure enough, a dark red three-by-schoon appeared in front of the Leonardo at an incredible speed! Obviously, like the White Rose, it uses spiritual power, and it travels like flying on the sea, not to mention such a steamship, even ordinary green-level water spirits can easily catch up.
"There are six explorers on board, four gold-level mid-level, ten gold-level beginner-level, a very strong team!" Li Yi's face became grim, he originally thought that the explorers who robbed this kind of ship were just an ordinary small team, but he didn't expect to have such strength.
"Alas, it's not easy for these people to grab something, so I won't fight with them," Li Yi thought about it, or avoid trouble, let Feld Alger and them hide, with Isabella's ability, it is still more than enough to deceive the gold-level mid-level spirit, "We disguise ourselves as ordinary people, and there is not even a gold-level explorer on the ship, and this group of people will not get anything out of grabbing some poor acid." ”
The flickering lights of the night shone out the pirate flag of the three-masted galleon, an eerie skull with two red whiskers.
"This, this is the most vicious group of pirates in the blue ocean! The Redbeard Pirate Regiment, with their strength, can already enter the Overseas Explorer Alliance, but they are still wreaking havoc on the seas, bullying the weak! ”
"Yes, I heard that they are cruel and do everything they can, and they only become pirates for the pleasure of plundering, and now it's all over!"
When Li Yi heard these discussions, he just smiled, and the people who were still gathering happily just now all hugged their heads and scurried.
A group of explorers dressed in blood-stained red uniforms boarded the Leonardo, led by a fat man, as if it were a balloon full of butter, layers of fat piled on top of each other, as if with a sharp needle, his body would explode, and rich fat would spurt out of the custom-made wide uniform.
Most strikingly, he has two pinches of fluffy red beard on his lips, which are really worthy of his name. The ship immediately fell silent, and everyone was silent, for fear that the other would notice them.
"Aha!" Redbeard shook his head, the fat stacked on his neck immediately cooed, and he was still holding a vicious bull terrier in his hand, and his jaw was amazingly thick, "I came at the right time, you guys are really at the party, I said how can Archie smell the smell, haha!" You are lucky enough to meet me on this vast sea. ”
He looked so happy that the pirates behind him were laughing, and the bull terrier screamed when he heard his master call his name, and the chains around his neck were straight.
"My rules, money and women stay, the rest can go, ah, of course a beautiful woman, don't tell me she's a guy's wife, oh my God, I have a lot of wives on the ship, I personally prefer the younger ones, the tender ones, hahaha!"
"I've recently become religious, don't get bloody, don't worry, I won't kill you, I just want your wealth!" Redbeard squinted his eyes as he swept the explorers' purses.
The strength of the two sides was completely disproportionate, and everyone gave up resisting, allowing the pirates to loot all their wealth from themselves, like mourning and drooping their heads, and the female explorers on the ship were all killed, and the pirates were up and down against them, telling lustful jokes and judging their posture and appearance.
"She's my wife! What do you want to do? A young husband angrily pushes the pirate away to protect his lover, but this action provokes a burst of laughter and seems to have fun, and they kill all three spirits of the explorer, killing his wife in front of him. (To be continued.) )
