Chapter 1908 Change

"It's 'Wind News'! Captain Odysseus finally replied!" Hailar let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, come to 'Banana Island', our boat is in trouble!"

A man's voice came from the whirlwind, and it was not difficult to hear the speaker's panic and uneasiness. Then he didn't say anything about it, and didn't elaborate on what "trouble" he encountered.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end it was Dolly the parrot who broke the dull atmosphere first.

"Weird! Weird!"

"Captain Odysseus's nonsense words are indeed very strange. Where is 'Banana Island'?" Audrey looked at Hyrule.

"It's a desolate island, less than ten nautical miles away from here. The island lacks fresh water, and there are no human settlements, but there is a natural anchorage. When the weather is bad, ships occasionally park there to avoid wind, rain and dense fog. , however, judging from the current weather conditions, this possibility is not established."

Hailar thought for a while, and then said: "There is also a possibility that the ship encounters an accidental failure during the voyage, such as a broken mast or a blown cylinder of the magic crystal steam engine, and has to be parked at the anchorage of Banana Island for repairs, or to wait for rescue."

"If such an unexpected situation happened, why didn't Captain Odysseus explain it clearly in the 'Wind Communication'? Besides, we are not mechanics, so even if we cast spells and rush to Banana Island, it won't be of much help!" Holden said helplessly. Opening his hands, he turned around and asked Joan, "What do you think of this matter?"

Since receiving the "Wind News Technique" just now, Joan has faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy, but there is no evidence that this is a trap, so he didn't immediately express his concerns, and instead asked Hailar: "Nearby Are there any sea monsters, or pirate gangs?"

"I haven't heard of any powerful monsters appearing in the nearby waters. As for pirates, one of the purposes of the Freeport Council's existence is to restrain the conflicts among the various pirate gangs in the New World. The 'Coral' is flying the flag of Freeport, so it stands to reason that it will not cause any serious problems. Pirates are coveting, unless it is a foreign gang who fled to this area to commit crimes, or..."

Hyrule hesitated for a moment, and was about to express the possibility that he was most worried about, when the parrot Dolly suddenly yelled towards the sea.

"Boat! Boat!"

Joan turned his head to look at the sea, and sure enough, he saw a small lifeboat heaving on the night-shrouded sea. It seemed that someone on board was paddling hard and slowly approaching the lighthouse.

"Be prepared here, I'll go over and have a look!"

Joan cast a spell and turned into a eagle-man form, flapping his wings and flying to the sea. Dolly the parrot also flapped his wings and followed him, reminding him while flying: "Be careful! Be careful!"

Not long after, Joan flew over the skiff, looked down at the sea with his sharp eagle eyes, and found a short and fat man sitting on the lifeboat, rowing vigorously, with a flustered expression and sweat on his forehead.

After thinking for a while, Qiao An took out the "spiritual net" from the storage bag, switched to the "activated rope" form, held the end of the rope, and threw a bundle of ropes down.

The rope blended with gold and silver spider silk was very tough, and it was firmly wrapped around the bow of the boat. Under the guidance of Joan, the boat floated to the beach below the lighthouse.

The fat man on the boat was startled when he saw a rope hanging down in the air, and instinctively wanted to jump into the sea to escape, but he was too frightened to move when he was suddenly yelled at behind him.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

The fat man shrank his neck, and turned his head tremblingly to have a look. At some point, a parrot with red feathers and a golden crown stood at the stern of the boat, staring at him majestically, which made him wipe off his cold sweat in fright.

"Row the boat! Row the boat!" Dolly raised her wings and pointed at the oars, urging angrily.

The fat man gulped down his saliva with a thud, and turned back with all his might, holding back his panic. He stretched out his arms and paddled as hard as he could.

Joan tugged in the air, and the fat man rowed the boat vigorously, the tide pushed the boat to the beach within a quarter of an hour.

At this time, Hailar and Zion had already come down from the high ground where the lighthouse was located, and stood on the beach waiting for the lifeboat to arrive.

Fatty saw Hailaer from a distance, he immediately showed joy, threw away the oars, turned over and jumped out of the boat, wading to the shore, shouting as he ran, "Miss!"

Hailaer looked the fat man up and down, and asked tentatively, "Are you an employee of the motor sailing ship 'Coral'?"

The fat man ignored his "drowned" appearance, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right! The little one's name is Sinbad, and he's the cook on the ship! Ms. Kate specially asked me to provide the most delicious food for the young lady and your companions during the voyage." meals."

Hailar's tense face eased a little, and he stepped forward and asked Sinbad, "What happened to the 'Coral'?"

The fat cook shuddered, as if recalling the horrible past, the frightened expression appeared on his face.

"Miss, just this morning, our expedition ship set sail from Freeport. Following Ms. Kate's explanation, it followed the 'Diamond Princess' all the way and planned to come to the headland lighthouse to pick you up."

"After nightfall, the crew was having dinner in the dining room, and I was busy in the back kitchen when I suddenly heard exclamations from the dining room, as well as ping-pong-pong movements."

"At first I thought it was because the sailors got drunk or had conflicts over gambling money. You know, such farces of fights and fights often occur on board, so it's not worth making a fuss about."

"However, the screams and creepy laughter that followed in the dining room made me feel that the situation was not good, so I opened a porthole, looked into the dining room, and saw the captain and most of the sailors lying in disarray. On the ground, alive or dead, only the boatswain Mark Price stood side by side with a humanoid monster at the dining table, laughing wildly..."

Speaking of this, Sinbad's fat face lost all color, and his lips trembled violently.

Hailar waved his hand and cast "Tranquillity", a golden halo spread around his body, enveloping the fat cook and dispelling his sense of fear.

"Don't be afraid, tell me the truth, what monster did you see?"

Sinbad calmed down, and replied tremblingly: "I only saw the back of that monster, it seemed to be a naked, shriveled old woman, her pale skin was wrinkled, and her wet messy hair seemed to be covered with dark green hair. Seaweed..."

"Seeing this horrible scene, I was so frightened that I almost fainted on the spot. I suppressed my fear and didn't dare to vent my breath. I went back to the kitchen and slipped out through the back door quietly. I lowered a lifeboat and rowed desperately. I didn't dare to look back. I only hoped that God of the Sea blesses me, so that I can escape from this nightmare and rush to the headland lighthouse where we agreed to meet as soon as possible, and report to the eldest lady the bizarre accident that happened on the expedition ship 'Coral'."
