Chapter 1338 Eagle Island

Just when Qiao An and the others were still hesitating whether to fly or not, the situation above the sea changed suddenly, and a summer rainstorm was about to hit.

In the coastal areas in August, it is normal for the climate to change from cloudy to sunny. Heavy rain and even typhoons are part of the daily life of coastal residents.

Having said that, the three travelers hanging on the lonely sea couldn't stay calm.

Looking at this posture, a storm may come at any time. Even Joan, who has the most experience in long-distance flying, can't fly a hundred miles in the wind and rain, it will really exhaust you to death!

Just when they were worrying, luck finally improved.

A motor sailboat happened to pass by this sea area. Joan, Medea, and Ruby saw the savior, flew over quickly, landed on the deck, and asked for a ride with the wind.

The registration place of this motor sailing boat is in Baiou Harbor. The captain was very polite to the three casters who were in trouble, and readily agreed to send them to Baiou Harbor for free.

Half an hour after Joan and the others boarded the boat, the summer rainstorm arrived as expected.

Smaller tonnage motor sailboats sway violently in the wind and rain, as if they may capsize at any time.

The sailors on the ship were not surprised by this kind of small scene. Joan also had experience in sailing at sea, so he was indifferent to the wind and rain outside the cabin.

Medea lived in the underground world and rarely had the opportunity to take a boat, but she seemed to have a special physique. The deck shook so badly that she didn't feel dizzy at all, but was very excited.

Poor little Ruby is miserable.

Her sailing experience is limited to kayaking on a calm lake, or she can also take a raft in the Baden wetlands.

The stormy waves at sea were a strange and terrifying experience for her.

Ruby tried hard to appear fearless.

"Miss Ruby" did not lack courage, but unfortunately her stomach could not withstand the test of wind and rain, and the strong nausea caused by seasickness made her vomit uncontrollably.

After finally surviving until the weather cleared up, the motor sailboat berthed into Baiou Harbor at dusk. At this time, Ruby had already vomited the last drop of her stomach, her little face was as pale as paper, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Joan carried the poor little girl ashore. Seeing Ruby's sickness, Medea had no choice but to give up her plan of shopping, and found a hotel near the pier to stay.

After resting overnight, Ruby regained some energy, and said to Joan with lingering fear:

"Ruby, I never want to take a big boat again!"

...

Putting away the nautical chart bought at the fishing tackle shop on the wharf this morning, Joan took out the "navigation compass" and generated a three-dimensional picture within 30 miles of the surrounding area.

After some comparisons, Qiao An felt more confident, and whispered a few words with Medea.

Medea nodded knowingly, held the hands of Joan and Ruby respectively, and cast the 5-ring "Teleportation" according to the direction Joan just pointed out, turning into a beam of light soaring into the sky.

After a few seconds, the three of them collectively teleported 300 nautical miles away.

Medea looked around in the air, suddenly pointed forward, and laughed.

"Thank you for the blessings of the gods! I finally got rid of the bad luck of 'getting lost every time I teleport'!"

Joan looked in the direction of Medea's finger, and within sight, there was an island standing on the rippling sea. A giant tower like a volcano rose from the center of the island and plunged into the clouds—couldn't it be " The iconic building "Eagle Tower" of "Eagle Island"!

Medea held Joan and Ruby's hands again and teleported directly to the pier of "Eagle Island".

"Eagle Island" is the territory of the Edric family. The permanent population on the island is less than 1,000, which is not as good as the valley village that Joan and the others visited before.

However, such a seemingly ordinary island has a great reputation in the North Bay and even the entire Far East region. Even Joan, who lives in the New World, has heard of the name "Eagle Island".

The reason why this small island is famous is that it is the habitat of the "giant eagle", and it is the largest and most mature artificial breeding base for giant eagles in the world of Vares.

"Giant Eagle", a supernatural falcon-shaped magical beast, looks like an enlarged version of an eagle. It usually stands 10 to 12 feet tall and has a wingspan of more than 20 feet.

Giant eagles are upright and kind by nature, and have developed intelligence. Most of them have basic reading and writing skills after adulthood, and they can also use human language proficiently. They can be used as aerial mounts or independently perform combat tasks.

In the world of Vales, if Pegasus and dragon creatures are not counted, there are five types of large supernatural raptors that are closely related to human society and can be domesticated as mounts, namely Griffin, Griffon, Giant Crow, Giant owls and giant eagles.

Among these five kinds of raptors, griffins and hippogriffs are the most ferocious. They can carry knights in full armor and are suitable as fighting beasts. The disadvantages are that they are mentally retarded, violent and aggressive, and difficult to domesticate.

The intelligence level of giant crows and giant owls is very high, not inferior to that of humans, but they also have serious shortcomings.

The giant crow belongs to the passerine magical beast, its body is relatively small, and its load capacity is also the worst among the five magical beasts.

The supernatural owl-shaped owl is not too different in size from the falcon-shaped one, and its load capacity is also comparable to that of griffins and hippogriffs. It has a gentle and kind personality, and is humorous. It is a good partner.

However, giant owls, like their distant relatives owls, are nocturnal creatures, while humans are more used to being active during the day and resting at night. It is difficult for the two sides to match their work and rest patterns, so most giant owls do not like to live with humans.

After a comprehensive comparison, the quality of giant eagles is excellent in all aspects—the size and load capacity are not inferior to those of griffins, their brains are as smart as giant owls, their natures are mostly upright and kind, and they have similar work and rest patterns to humans.

Because of this, the giant eagle is generally considered to be the most suitable species to serve as an air force. However, it is not an easy task to domesticate this creature.

Giant eagles mainly nest on offshore islands and feed on large fish, and are rare in inland areas.

If you want to domesticate a large number of giant eagles, you can only build a base on the island, and because the giant eagles are too smart and have a tough personality, they cannot be treated in the same way as ordinary livestock such as cattle and horses.

In the eyes of giant eagles, their relationship with humans can be friends, partners, students and teachers, rather than servants and masters, let alone livestock and owners.

For an ordinary animal trainer, it is already very good to be able to train the rebellious giant eagle into a competent mount. If you want to go one step further and train the giant eagle into a qualified soldier who strictly obeys the military regulations, it will be even more difficult. more difficult.

So far, looking at the entire Vales world, only the Edric family of the "Isle of Eagles" in the North Bay has inherited the unique skill of training military giant eagles from generation to generation, and has become famous in the North Bay for this.

Joan, Medea, and Ruby teleported to the pier, and found a tavern nearby, with a golden anchor painted on the signboard, presumably it was the "Golden Anchor Tavern" that was mentioned when they were in Baiou Harbor.
