Jim went to the mast ship and returned a moment later with two barrels of wine.
These two barrels of wine were a thank-you gift from Maud to Kurokas, who gladly accepted it.
An hour later, the [Record] pointing to the Twin Islands had been saved, and it was time to set sail.
"Senior, it's time for us to leave."
"Go ahead."
Kurokas smiled broadly.
Ever since Modjaya came to visit him, his smile has almost never stopped.
Just as Maude and others were preparing to board the boat, the originally calm sea surface suddenly trembled, and at the same time, a loud noise came from the bottom of the sea.
The sudden movement made the eyes of Lafayette and others slightly condensed.
Maude knew that the movement was caused by Rabu the Whale, so she didn't react at all.
"What's going on?" Jia Ya asked doubtfully.
"It's Rab who's hitting the red soil."
Kurokas looked at the location where the sound came from and frowned slightly.
The consumption of tranquilizers is increasing day by day. If this continues, maybe in five years, maybe ten years, the effectiveness of tranquilizers will decrease significantly. By then...
"Rabb is?"
Jaya looked at Kurokas.
Kurokas sighed: "It's a whale trying to smash the red continent with its head. When you leave later, just avoid the source of the sound."
"Crash the Red Earth Continent?"
Lafayette said in disbelief: "How can such a thing be possible?"
"May be."
Maud looked up at the towering red continent.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Maude after hearing this.
That kind of thing is impossible.
"just kidding."
Maude smiled at everyone and ended this vague topic.
Is it impossible to do it...
He can travel to this world, so what is impossible
In this bizarre world, everything that humans can imagine may become a reality in the future.
Everyone looked at Maud strangely.
That doesn't sound like a joke.
"Okay, let's get on the boat."
Maud jumped onto the mast ship first and diverted everyone's attention.
"Hoo ho."
Lafayette chuckled and then got on the boat.
After everyone was on board, Jim furled the anchor and Lafayette lowered the sail.
The masted ship slowly sailed away from the shore.
Kurokas crossed his arms and watched the mast ship leave.
"It's great to be young..."
Kurokas sighed with emotion.
He then jumped into the sea and swam toward Rab, who was hitting the red earth continent.
... ... ... ...
The mast boat rode the wind and waves and headed towards the Twin Islands.
after one day.
Maud and the others encountered a storm.
Thanks to Lafayette's timely furling of the sails, the tragedy of capsizing was avoided.
But the huge waves that followed made Mod and others deeply understand the terror of the Great Channel.
Several times, I had the feeling that the masted ship would be blown away in the next second.
Fortunately, we finally made it through the storm circle without any danger.
"This is the Great Channel..."
After escaping, Maude was shocked.
It's one thing to see the Grand Waterway as a bystander, but it's another thing to experience it personally.
If the boat capsizes in that kind of climate, the chances of survival are pitifully low.
Maude took off her clothes that were soaked by the rain, came to the bow of the ship and looked into the distance.
"Twin Islands."
Maude said to herself.
Jaya came to Mod's side and whispered: "It's just an island, but it has two climates: spring and winter. It's magical when you think about it."
"yes."
Maud smiled.
Their knowledge of the Twin Islands depends on the intelligence provided by Kurokas.
As Jaya said.
Twin Island is a special island with the climate of Spring Island and Winter Island.
Starting from the starting point, if nothing else happens, we will arrive in ten days.
Chapter 34 Twin Islands
Twelve days later.
When the navigation supplies were about to run out, Maude and his party finally saw the outline of the island.
"We've finally arrived."
Maude felt tired for a while.
In just thirteen days, they experienced many climate anomalies such as a huge whirlpool, hailstones the size of Bailey, tornadoes wrapped in water and lightning.
There are dangers every time. Fortunately, Lafayette has excellent skills and rich experience. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
This near-miss voyage made Maud realize the importance of a strong navigator.
"want to drink."
Bailey, an old drunkard, lay weakly on the bow of the boat.
There was plenty of food on the ship, but I had been out of wine for several days.
"We're almost there, bear with it."
Maud glanced at the limp Bailey.
On the side, Jia Ya looked curiously at the outline of the Twin Islands.
Lafayette always paid attention to the wind direction and sea currents, and he did not relax even when he was approaching his destination.
As the distance got closer, everyone gradually saw the appearance of the Twin Islands clearly.
As its name suggests, the island is composed of two islands with the same area and terrain.
The two islands face each other across the shore. The island on the left is blooming with spring flowers, and the island on the right is covered with snow. The ocean current flows through the river between them.
In the middle of the river, a giant tree stands in the sky.
If you look closely, you can see that the dragon-like tree roots are rooted in the rocky ground on the shores of the two islands, supporting the huge tree body hanging above the river.
What is strange is that this giant tree was affected by two different climates.
As a result, the left half of the tree crown towards the spring island on the left is lush, while the right half towards the winter island on the right has only bare branches.
Not only that, a large tunnel-like hole was dug under the tree, turning the tree into a natural bridge connecting the two islands.
From the perspective of everyone in Mod, they can't see the bridge hole under the big tree.
“What a magical island.”
Looking at the scenery of the Twin Islands, Jia Ya's eyes lit up.
The distance between the two islands is only about 500 meters, but it is also the junction of spring and winter.
And that big tree caught between spring and winter refreshed Jia Ya's understanding.
Not only Jaya, but also Lafayette and Jim also had gleaming eyes.
It was the first time for them to see such an island.
Maud also found the Twin Islands interesting, especially the big tree that stood between the two islands.
"Could the name of this tree be the Yin-Yang Tree?"
Maude makes a very powerful point.
"???"
Everyone looked at Maud silently.
The atmosphere of marveling at the wonders of the great waterway was suddenly ruined by such a name.
Maud didn't pay attention to their gazes and carefully observed the general outline of the Twin Islands. Suddenly, the image of a certain organ in the human body popped up in his mind.
"Do you think the Twin Islands look like two lungs connected to the bronchi?"
“…”
Jaya, Lafayette, and Jim were speechless.
Bailey, who was lying on the bow of the boat, turned his head and looked at them, and said seriously: "I have seen the lungs, and what I heard from the boss..."
"you shut up."
Jaya looked over.
"OK!"
Bailey immediately turned back and continued to lie on the bow.
Twin Islands is a rare double-island structure. Spring Island on the left is called Chunzi Island by the locals, and Dongzi Island is on the right.
Since there is a spring island where spring is warm and flowers are blooming, most people will not choose a winter island where the weather is cold and freezing.
Of course, Maud and the others were not exempt from this and sent the mast ship towards Chunzi Island on the left.
On the shore of Chunzi Island, there are various natural boat anchorage spots.
People who arrive at Chunzi Island seem to park their boats here. At a glance, there is a row of boats of different sizes and appearances docked on the shore.
On the other hand, looking at Dongzi Island on the other side, there is almost no ship visible along the shore as far as the eye can see.
On the shore of Chunzi Island, on a higher hillside, a group of about fifty people gathered, each of them carrying a knife and a gun.
"Someone new is here."
Someone smiled ferociously and looked at the mast ship as if looking at a fat prey.
"Amy, check the background."
"good!"
A short man responded and took out a thick stack of reward orders from his satchel.
Different from regular bounty orders, most of the bounty orders in the hands of men have pirate flags painted on them by hand.
