City of Dimlight

Chapter 86 On the Ship

Half a day later, Allen changed to a hotel and stayed there, and then went out to find out the news again.

"Are you sure?" The little angel didn't agree with Allen's suggestion: "Why do you insist on going to the Kingdom of the Free Alliance from the sea?" He circled around Allen: "You can go directly from the land to the Kingdom of the Free Alliance, a little farther, but at least you won't get seasick!"

"But this road is too far," Allen replied with a smile: "It's three months' journey from Silverbird City to the border, and then we'll go to the Stone City for another two months; and if we go from here to the Elf Kingdom, it's only half a month away, and if we go from the sea, it won't be more than two months. Come on, we saved at least half of our time!"

"You're right," Aurora looked at the map and admitted the route set by Leo very frustrated, but it still wanted to fight for it again: "If you go to the elf kingdom just to get closer, you don't have to - we will have a way to earn enough travel expenses through the Atlantean Empire - I remember you are I need to eat, and after filling my core, I remember that we don't have much money!"

"This is indeed a problem," Allen smiled again: "But good thing I've solved it!" He explained, "I contacted a kind fishing boat at the dock. They chased the fish news through the Elf Kingdom until they returned to the Freedom Alliance. As long as I am willing to help on the boat, we can arrive smoothly."

"I'm so lucky," the little angel muttered, catching up with Alan's pace, "Then I'm going to live on your bed!" It reluctantly made the last request, hoping to get some compensation.

The origin of the name Silverbird City is actually very simple: this seaport city produces a hard-headed trout, whose bones look like ivory, delicate, smooth and milky. This trout breeds a lot in this sea, so that the number of silver gulls also increased. At that time, the people who first arrived here only saw these birds and naturally named the harbor "Silver Bird Harbor", and the city built later became the Silver Bird City.

Captain Locke, who has a beard, clamped his fishing rod with his hairy toes. The fishing rod protrudes from the quiet sea and reflects a perfect reflection on the bright mirror. The red-painted wooden buoy shook slightly, and the fine ripples made the reflection up and down. Because the loose fishing line was too close to the shore, Captain Locke didn't feel the fish eating his bait at all. In less than a few seconds, the bait disappeared silently, but the good man did not know it at all. By the time he remembered to check, it was probably a few hours later. However, he doesn't care much.

"The weather is so good!" Captain Locke lay lazily on the deck and looked at the light emitted by the launch of the dome. This unique weather in the earth and sea can not only emit light, but also emit heat, making the whole cold Silverbird City full of a warm feeling at this time.

A young man came from the sea bridge. He walked very loudly and was extremely agile. "The young man is coming!" Captain Locke's beard was upturned, and he grinned and shouted, "Lacy! The young man has arrived, go and arrange it for him!"

Aren has arrived in front of the boat, jumped on the boat happily, and greeted everyone he met: "Hi! I'm new here. Please take care of me!"

"Young man, come here!" Captain Locke shouted from afar, and Allen walked over with a smile.

"Puke will take you to the cabin," Captain Locke pointed to a dwarf next to him: "You live with him - although the stern is bumpy, it's big enough!" He smiled and said, "You don't like to huddle with a group of sailors!"

The bearded dwarf cracked his mouth: "You will like our room," he tried to stand up straight and patted Allen on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you there!" Allen greeted the captain and followed Puke to the so-called room.

This is actually just a warehouse, stacked with a large amount of salted fish, dried meat, grain and fruit flour, beans, etc. It can be said that this is completely where grain is stored. There are two hammocks in the corner, and next to them is a table with some empty wine bottles and plates piled up in a mess.

Puke smiled embarrassedly, stretched out his big hand to sweep the table, and threw everything into a bucket: "It's just a little messy. It's all right now! Come on, the bed here is yours!" He pointed to the hammock next to him, "Don't look good at the rope, but sleeping on it is simply first-class!"

"Thank you!" He thanked politely: "It's my luck to meet your fishing boats!"

"Don't be so polite," Puke waved his hand: "As long as you work hard, thank me!"

"Oh, by the way," Alan showed a puzzled look: "What on earth should I do for you? - I don't know much about the things on the ship!"

"You will know then!"

Puke's reputation as a good man in Allen's mind was completely over until he brought the newcomer under the railing. Allen stared at the watchtower on the high main pole and asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"Really!"

"Do you want to go up?"

"I want to go up!"

"Do you want to go up and stay for a day?"

The dwarf didn't say anything, just nodded.

"My God!" He shouted, "I can't believe there is such a place on the boat," he said with a miserable expression: "It's really terrible!"

"No," our kind-hearted dwarf comforted him: "When there is no wind and waves, it's still very comfortable and not scary at all!"

After the encouragement of the dwarf and what Aurora would say, Allen gritted his teeth and climbed to the top of the pole along the rope ladder and stood on the observation deck to look at Sichuan.

"Bed the rope on the pillar to your waist!" The dwarf shouted down there.

"What?" He didn't hear clearly. The sea breeze took away most of the sound and could only faintly hear some words.

So the dwarf shouted again.

He still didn't hear clearly.

As he was about to ask again, Aurora came out of his arms, flew to a mast of the watchtower and sat down: "He told you to tie yourself to the mast so that you won't fall down!" The little angel showed a sarcastic expression: "This place is really good!"

"Alle!" Allen directly realized his mistake: "I know there is something wrong with the route this time - but the ship has sailed, and we can't regret it!" He made a simple and clear gesture and began to tie himself with one end of the rope.

A few more words came from below. Allen made a gesture again and then raised his head: "What did he say?"

The little angel said disdainfully, "It's nothing more than asking you to pay attention to the situation and ring the bell if anything happens!" Only then did Allen notice a small clock above the observation tower.

When the dwarf saw that Allen had understood what he meant, he left, leaving Allen and the little angel chatting on the watchtower.

He was about to make a joke with the little angel when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the hull was a little tilted. In an instant, he felt that the sky was spinning. "Wow" spit out.

"Haha," the little angel gloated: "I didn't expect you to be seasick!"

He vomited for a while before barely standing straight: "I don't want to..." There was another burst of vomiting before the voice fell.

But the little angel at this time was obviously attracted by something.

A fishing boat slowly raised a red flag, which means that they had caught a hard trout. Captain Locke watched the flag rise more and more. At least four feet long, otherwise it will be bigger. He watched the flag rise all the way to the bottom of the mast and muttered to himself with praise. Probably a family will sing to celebrate tonight.

Another ship suddenly accelerated and leaned against the ship that had raised the flag to symbolize the capture. The crew of the two ships immediately pulled out their weapons and confronted each other, although they still stayed on their own boats. There was only a lake between Aurora and the two ships, so he could hear the voices of the captains of the two ships clearly.

"Hey! You stole my fish!" The captain of the second ship roared.

"I think you are seasick!" The captain of the first ship replied. That fish has never been yours. We caught it with our own hands. Take your stinky boat to me now, or..."

As the little angel expected, before the sentence was finished, the crew of another ship had roared loudly and rushed up with weapons.

Aura moved his eyes to the glow of the dome. He was not interested in the fight between the two ships, and the noise of the intersection of weapons annoyed him. Small battles are common on this lake, usually for fish catch, especially when big fish are caught. Generally speaking, these fights are not too fierce. Most of them are just scolding and point-to-point fights, and they will not really fight hard, so few people will really get hurt or die. But occasionally there are still accidents

"Ah! Little fish, you can really make trouble!" It muttered to itself, thinking about the ruthless revenge of these silver fish against greedy humans. If it hadn't been for these fist-sized fish with ivory skulls, Silverbird City would not have survived. The coast here is the only place in the world that has these fish. Even if this area is so desolate and barbaric that all kinds of humanoid monsters and barbarians can destroy the strongest buildings are rampant here, the greed to get rich overnight still brings people to the border of this country.

"What? Don't feel well?" Allen stood up and looked at the scene in front of him: "The underground world is like this. There will never be enough food and resources!"
