Chapter 305 Different Beliefs (for Subscription)
After passing the noisy lobby, Xifa came to his room, lit the gas lamp, and took out two Extraordinary characteristics from his pocket. One was contributed by the captain wearing the silver and white iron hook, and the other was owned by the first officer who was possessed by him and swallowed himself with a gun.
Xifa summoned the 'Spirit World Treasure Chest' and directly threw these two characteristics into it, without any urge to identify it.
After all, the previous captain himself said that their strength is about the same as Quint's, and Quint is even better at fighting than Captain Iron Hook. If you think about it, these two characteristics are about Sequence 7 or Sequence 8.
Coupled with the two Extraordinary characteristics obtained on the 'Blood Shark' before, there are quite a lot of characteristics in the treasure chest now.
"I don't know if it can be sold at the Tarot Club. It's useless for me to exist. Or you can go to Bayam, and it would be good to find a party of extraordinary people to sell dirty things."
Sifa lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and said to himself: "I have informed the Church of Storms about Admiral Blood's plan. By then, Bayam will definitely be very lively."
"It's better to be lively, so that I can fish in troubled waters and successfully board the 'Golden Dream'."
"The Blood Shark made me earn 2,660 pounds. I don't know how much the pirates can earn. The Church of the Storm shouldn't just give me 70% of the bounty, right? The bounties from the Brothers Pirates have also been paid out, and these pirates alone have earned me six or seven thousand pounds."
"No wonder everyone comes to take risks at sea. Those pirates are like gold coins that can walk."
"I still have some money in my unregistered account. I should be able to earn an extra ten thousand to twenty thousand when I cash out the stocks of the steel mill over there in Backlund. In this way, my assets will be close to 30 thousand pounds."
Xifa shook his head: "30,000 pounds may seem like a lot, but it is still far from the goal of buying land and buying titles from the kingdom."
"Well, when you have a deposit of more than 20,000 pounds, go to Backlund and see if Lynn has any other money-making projects."
Turning over, Sifer fell asleep.
At breakfast the next day, Sifa had just washed and changed when there was a knock on the door.
After a little differentiation, he heard that it was not the sound of a headless messenger knocking on the door, so he said indifferently: "Please come in."
The door opened, and Uchidi walked in with a clever look: "Good morning, Mr. Reilly, do you want to visit the 'Black Star' this morning?"
"Yes, but that was after breakfast." Sifer picked up the 'Wand of Resentment', and pressed the white skull on the end of the stick to the brim of his hat.
Uchidi glanced at the skull on the cane with some fear, and then smiled: "Then do you need me to introduce some restaurants to you?"
"That's exactly what I want to say." Sifa smiled.
After breakfast, Uchidi hired a carriage and took him and Xifa to the 'Devil's Throat' cave. On the way, Uchidi dutifully introduced the cave to Xifa.
"This cave is located in the southeast corner of our island, a certain distance from here. It is a pure natural cave. My grandma said that when she was a little girl, there was no such cave."
"But one night, there was a very terrifying sound from the southeast corner of the island, as if someone was beating something under the sea, and it seemed that a huge sea monster was hitting that corner."
"She told me very seriously that at that time she saw all kinds of strange lights appearing in the southeast corner of the sky, and huge lightning cracked down. This abnormal phenomenon lasted for a long time until she couldn't hold on to sleep. After the past, those phenomena have not stopped.”
Uchidi described it vividly: "When people woke up the next day, people went there to check and found that there was an extra cave on the steep cliff. That is the 'Devil's Throat' we are going to now."
Sounds like incredible folklore, but this is the world of mysteries. Therefore, this may have happened for real, and it may be the result of some mysterious forces meeting here.
Xifa looked at the 'story' mentioned by Uchidi from the perspective of a Extraordinary.
Then he said: "Can you tell me your beliefs? I have been to many places, and the beliefs are different, and the things that need to be paid attention to are different. In order to avoid unpleasant things, I hope to understand the beliefs of Sky Island."
"There is a Church of Storms here, so you guys should believe in the Lord of Storms, right?"
Uchidi laughed: "That's not true. Although the priests of the Lord of Storms often preach to us, we have our own beliefs. We believe in the guardian of the forest, the god of the sky, the great 'Astuka '."
"We believe that the gods protect Sky Island and protect us, so our island can be as prosperous as it is now."
It is actually consistent with the belief of Windmill Island!
Xifa couldn't help becoming vigilant: "Then what do you all need to pay attention to, such as not going out at night?"
Uchidi asked suspiciously: "Why can't you go out at night? We have a saying here that real life begins after the sun goes down."
"At night, every bar on Changbin Street is overcrowded. If you are drunk, you can find a place to lie down. Don't worry about danger, because every night, we will have special personnel walking on the street to stop them from drinking. Some criminal incidents, providing security, so that more tourists can be attracted to the island."
That being said, last night I did hear a constant noise from the street, even into the wee hours of the morning.
Xifa shook his head secretly. In this environment, if the residents on the island were abnormal, they should have been discovered very early.
What's more, there is also the Church of the Storm on the island, so this island is only consistent with Windmill Island in belief, but it doesn't have those weird phenomena on Windmill Island?
Xifa thought for a while and said, "Do you have an officiant?"
Uchidi shook his head without hesitation: "We haven't held a sacrifice for a long time, only on March 6 every year, every household will prepare some flowers, and then take them to the mountain to worship the guardians of the forest."
"Then sixteen young men and women who have just grown up will present the 'Wind Dance' to the great 'Astuka', presided over by our much-loved Elder Akalin, but he is not the officiant, he even He also serves as the clerk of the Ministry of Coastal Defense and can receive the salary of the Kingdom of Loen."
It seems that I was worrying too much. This island is much more normal than Windmill Island. When he thought this way, Xifa saw a platform outside the window, and two carriages were already parked there.
The car they were riding also came to the platform, and then stopped, Uchidi got up and said: "Here, Mr. Raleigh. From here we have to walk to the 'Devil's Throat'. Although we have taken sufficient safety measures, I still I have to remind you to be careful along the way."
Xifa pushed open the door, and heard the sound of waves beating against the reef, and then saw, just at the edge of the platform, there was a stone step extending downward. It leans against the mountain wall on one side and faces the void on the other
