Chapter 141: The Sea Emperor's Crown
Pearl Island.
A place that is said to be cursed.
This rumor circulated among the captains, but the sailors did not know much, and the navigators probably knew a little, after all, their duty was to lead the crew away from the horrors of the sea.
Most sailors have only heard of it, this is a forbidden place!
So when the lookout found out that the direction of the ship was actually the Pearl Island, all the sailors fell into a panic!
If it weren't for Marven's residual power, I'm afraid they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
It's just that, compared to the beginning, these sailors have begun to tremble on their hands and feet.
……
"Lord Marven!"
Roberts, the original second officer, was successfully promoted to the ship's first mate after helping Marvin capture the Southern.
Marvin promised to appoint him captain of the South once the new port was established.
After all, he himself couldn't have been at sea for a long time.
This keeps Roberts motivated.
He is a fearless and ambitious character himself, and has always scoffed at the legend of the Pearl Island.
"They were a little scared. They want to know where you want to go. ”
Roberts explained, "I can appease them for a while, but it can't last long. ”
Marven turned around, looked at the panicked crowd, and said loudly:
"Pearl Island is just an ordinary island. The legends at sea are not to be believed, and the South will not anchor at the Pearl Island. We'll only stop at the edge of the Pearl Island for half a day, and then we'll turn back southwest. ”
"There, there is an open beach suitable for landing. We can safely scream mountains around the sea. That's where I'm going to build a new port! ”
"And when you get to that place, it's not far from my White River Valley."
After listening to Marven's words, the sailors calmed down a little.
In fact, now that they were all involved in the murder of the original captain, there was nowhere else to go. Marven is what he says, they are irrefutable.
At that moment, the South slowly approached the Pearl Island. And stopped almost a dozen miles from the coastline.
This is the time when the sun rises in the east, under the action of the sun. The dense fog on the edge of the Pearl Island has also thinned out a lot.
Some of the sailors took the opportunity to rest, while others gazed uneasily at this fabled forbidden place.
Marven ordered that no one but himself should be allowed to land on the island.
And during his landing on the island. Lola is acting as an agent to exercise his powers.
He was not afraid that in the process of landing on the island, these guys slipped away on their own in the boat. Without Marven, these people can't go anywhere.
Only the White River Valley can contain them.
Even the ambitious first mate Roberts.
What's more, Marven is not without a backhand. He left the Storm Elves on the ship.
Should the gang make any rash moves, the storm spirits, who are able to fly freely and control the wind, can easily stop them.
……
"Take advantage of the daylight to land on the island, and save yourself dealing with those fog demons."
Marven thought so in his heart, and a small boat was let down.
A strong sailor will row Marvin to the island.
Everyone watched as the boat kept moving away, even though they didn't know what Marven was doing. However, with Marven's reputation, they guessed that this adult must be planning something important.
After all, the nickname [Magical Marven] has gradually spread from Riverbeach City to the East Coast.
The popularity of this nickname is basically the same as that of [Two-Headed Snake Marven].
They are still willing to believe that Marven can lead them to a better life than before.
Ever since Captain George took over the South. Short-tempered and harsh, he made life even more difficult for the sailors. Otherwise, Lola wouldn't have rebelled against these guys so lightly.
Although Marven is also murderous, at least he doesn't lose his temper.
Most sailors actually thought in their hearts: no matter what, it couldn't be worse than George.
And under Lola's appeasement, everyone's feelings gradually stabilized.
The Pearl Island in the sun seems to be quite beautiful, and it is not as terrifying as the legend.
……
The waves are rough. The boat struggled to approach the Pearl Island.
The sturdy sailor had already been warned by Marven that he was not allowed to land on the Pearl Island.
"Everything on Pearl Island is cursed."
"Look. The white beach was densely packed with pearls. If you take a pearl in your greed, you will kill the entire ship. ”
"Just wait for me where you are, understand?"
The honest sailor nodded.
Although he also saw pearls in the distance, the rumors about the forbidden land and Marven's warnings still deterred him.
No matter how good the money is, it is still the life that matters.
However, he couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why did you go to the island?" Aren't you afraid? ”
Marven said calmly: "I went to the island to return things." If you don't take things away, you'll be fine. ”
The sailor nodded, silent.
After another moment, Marven ordered him to stop advancing.
"Wait for me right here."
He instructed.
Then he straightened his clothes and jumped into the water. It's not far from the beach of the Pearl Island, and he can swim there.
……
On the Southern, Roberts watched this scene from a distance, showing a puzzled look: "Miss Lola, what do you say Lord Marven wants to do?" ”
"I don't know." Lola said very dryly.
"No one can guess what he thinks."
"But he's always done miracles, it's true. There was a food crisis in the White River Valley before, and I came out for this, and he solved it by himself. ”
"We have to believe in Lord Marven. Despite the fact that he is a Fish man. But it's still very reliable. ”
"Fish?" There was a blank look on Roberts' face.
"Hey, don't you sailors learn horoscopes?" Lola asked rhetorically, "How did you become the first mate?" ”
The navigator on the side silently wiped his sweat and watched Marven's figure finally arrive on the island full of pearls.
"That's a cursed beach. May the god of silver bless you......"
……
Marven walks on the beach, and the qiē here is so nostalgic.
Little by little, memories came back, and he was glad that he was so familiar with every copy of Fernan.
Pearl Island is indeed a very dangerous place, especially at night, when you accidentally encounter a terrifying fog demon.
And everything here should not be touched lightly. Not to mention carrying.
"Every pearl has an aging curse. Touch it. Live half a year less. ”
"Black Pearl, Cursed ...... Death"
"Blue Star Shell, Alienation Curse ......"
He carefully bypassed the horrors in his memory, and finally walked through this beach full of "mines".
Ahead is a mountainous area. There are no trees, only bare caves.
It's a bit safer here.
Marven came this time, not to completely open the treasure of Pearl Island, but to explore the details first, and get some benefits by the way.
After all, he hadn't collected all six cursed pearls yet.
However, one of them can also give him benefits on Pearl Island.
The premise is to know the tricks.
Marven looked left and right, found a suitable cave, and drilled into it.
The cave is dark and damp, go deeper. He found a waterhole.
The waterhole was muddy, but Marven knew that there were similar waterholes in the caves on the island. Every waterhole leads to the deepest secrets of the Pearl.
He took out the cursed pearl and gently threw it into the water.
"It should be the same as I remember......
His eyes were fixed on the pearl's change.
Sure enough, under the action of this magical pool of water, the pearls began to melt slowly.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed. With a pop, the fish that was constantly swimming in the pearl jumped out of the pearl.
It swims happily in the pool for a while. Then he jumped up.
It stared at Marven and actually said, "You have unlocked my cage, and I will give you a gift." ”
"The gift I give you will not be cursed, but remember that you must not touch anything else on this island."
So said the fish.
Marven nodded.
In the next second, the fish poofed and drilled into the pool!
Marven was a little excited in his heart!
In the depths of the pool is the treasure of the Pearl Island!
There, the most minor things, are magic items!
It's even possible to touch legendary items!
That's when it's time to bet on your luck.
What this fish will pick and give to Marven is completely random!
"Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to get the best of the magic items......"
"If it's legendary, it's even better......"
Marven sat by the waterhole and waited for a long time before a shadow struggled to swim up from the pool.
It used its head to top that thing!
"Take it! I can't stand it anymore! It's too heavy. ”
The fish said with difficulty.
Marven hurriedly took the wet thing away.
It's a crown-like thing.
Marven looked at it carefully for a while, and then he was ecstatic!
He knows this thing!
Neptune's Crown - Legendary Item!
"Wait...... Hey? How do I show that it is sealed? Marven's joy diminished slightly.
In his previous life, he did not receive the crown of the Sea Emperor.
But it is said that with this thing, you can dominate the sea!
"I'm already lucky, and I should be content to draw a sealed legendary item. At least some of the effects should be playable. ”
Marven froze, he just wanted to thank the fish, but in the blink of an eye, the other party had disappeared.
Marven doesn't care, after all, there is still a time for reunion - when he collects the six cursed pearls, he can unlock the real treasure of Pearl Island!
At that time, Marven estimated that he would really have to count the money until his hands cramped.
After all, it's the wealth left by six generations of pirate kings!
……
Two hours later, Marvin returned to the South and ordered the sails!
Target, the southeast bank of the White River Valley!
Marven didn't know the exact coordinates, but as long as it was parallel to the coastline and passed through the Screaming Mountains, it was almost a good place to build a port in his mind.
In the captain's room, he held the crown of the Sea Emperor and began to test the effect of the sealed legendary item.
He gently touched the ends of the Sea Emperor's crown with both hands, and suddenly, an open sea appeared in his mind!
He saw the South and saw every creature in the sea!
"Eyes of the Sea?" Marvin was happy with the first feature that came out of the test.
However, at this time, he suddenly saw a shadow in the nearby sea!
In that shadow, there was a powerful burst of life!
But this vitality is not active, but depressed.
"What's that?"
Marven curiously looked at the eye of the ocean and looked over the shadow.
As soon as he saw it, he was completely speechless.
It was a creature drifting with a plank in its arms!
He was in a coma, but he was still clinging to the plank, and he didn't know how long he had been drifting on the surface.
"I was actually bumped into at this time, I don't know if it was my luck or his luck."
Marven felt amused in his heart, and after he immediately determined the direction through the eyes of the ocean, he asked the Nanfang to temporarily change course and go to the place where the shadows were.
Half an hour later, a couple of sailors struggled to get the guy up.
Syllable!
The other wolf fell on the deck, spat a few mouthfuls of water, and was still in a semi-conscious state.
Lola suddenly popped up and said in amazement:
"Huh? How could it be him? ”
