[If they could be pirates, why would you help them? ]
Roger was a little confused.
Logically speaking, the islanders should avoid pirates as much as possible, so why does Lina have such an indifferent attitude
Upon hearing this, Lina explained to Roger.
It turns out that the five major seas all belong to a unified maritime country, the Thousand Islands Kingdom.
In the five major sea areas, pirates who stir up trouble and plunder islanders will be wanted and hunted by the kingdom's fleet. Therefore, ordinary pirates basically will not plunder islands at will. At most, they will rest on the island.
Of course, there are also some extremely vicious pirates who are lawless and unafraid of the kingdom’s fleet, but the probability is relatively small.
It seems that the five major seas are still relatively peaceful.
It really is a novice village.
Roger was thoughtful.
[However, if you leave the five major seas in the future, you must be careful at all times. Pirates outside the five major seas don't have so many scruples. ]
Lina reminded after bandaging Roger.
Roger nodded, chatted with Lina again, and then left the clinic.
Before leaving, Roger deliberately switched perspective and took a look at Lina.
She has short, smooth azure hair, an intellectual and sweet face, and long legs that cannot be concealed even by a white coat.
This made Roger more determined in his thinking.
My bed... Phew, I need a ship's doctor on my ship!
Roger thought.
After treating his wounds, Rogge went to Felix's shipyard to continue learning skills.
…
After a night, the sun rose as usual in the Hefeng Sea, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was warm.
At the dock, Roger was about to go out to sea when old Nelson stopped him.
[Rogge, how long can you hold your breath in water? ]
Upon hearing this, Roger scratched his head in surprise, wondering why old Nelson suddenly asked this.
After thinking about it, he gave a conservative number.
[About five minutes.]
Old Nelson was silent for a moment after hearing this, looked at Rogge several times, and then said in a deep voice.
[Can you do me a favor?]
[good.]
Upon hearing this, Roger nodded without asking old Nelson what he needed him to do.
Old Nelson helped him a lot, and Roger would do his best to help wherever he could.
Seeing that Roger agreed so readily, Old Nelson patted him on the shoulder without saying a word, then walked onto his boat and picked up the oars.
[Let’s go.]
Roger thought about it, took the big orange cat off the boat, and wanted to leave it in the cabin.
But who would have thought that as soon as Rogge closed the door, Daju squeezed out from the gap in the window and came to Rogge's feet.
"Meow~"
The big orange cat meowed angrily, as if to say, "You've grown wings and want to fly solo, right?"
Then he jumped back into the boat, found a comfortable spot and curled up to sleep peacefully.
Rogge was a little speechless, but he didn't try to keep him and got on the boat.
Seeing this, old Nelson smoked a cigarette, wondering what he was thinking.
Soon, an old man, a young boy and a cat rowed a small boat and drifted away in one direction.
[Aren't you curious about what I asked you to do for me? ]
Old Nelson turned his back to Roger and puffed out smoke.
[Of course I'm curious. I've been waiting for you to tell me.]
Roger returned honestly.
Old Nelson was speechless for a moment, but didn't say much, then he spoke slowly.
[One is me, and the other is Holly, an old woman who likes to commit suicide, and my wife...]
Then, old Nelson began to tell stories from the past.
He and Holly grew up together and can be considered childhood sweethearts.
Holly is carefree, sunny and cheerful and loves adventure, while old Nelson is shy and kind.
They had been sailors together, had sailed to sea together, fought pirates, and searched for treasure together.
Finally, they returned to the island where they were born and raised, guarding the dock and watching young people like Roger sail towards the rising sun...
It seemed that because of the mention of his wife, old Nelson, who was always concise, became talkative and mentioned his own opinions from time to time.
[Holly, this old woman, likes to drink. She always makes the house full of alcohol smell. She is unkempt and careless, and always loses money...]
[But in fact, I always knew that she just spent all her money on drinking or lost it in the bar... ]
[She also likes flowers, especially sunflowers. I once planted a few for her, but she kept pouring wine into the flowerbed, and the sunflowers all died...]
[And the old woman particularly likes to do some dangerous things, such as fishing for sea snakes with bare hands.]
Old Nelson laughed.
Although there was disgust and helplessness on his face when he mentioned Holly, his sadness and love could not be hidden at all.
After a long time, old Nelson was silent for a moment.
[However, one day five years ago, she excitedly told me that she had found a cave near a small island and she must explore it.]
[At that time, I was busy taking care of Lina and didn't pay attention to her words. ]
[But early the next morning, she left a letter, packed her equipment and set off alone.]
[Since then, I have never seen her again...]
[A year later, I found her wine bottle on an island, but I didn’t find the cave on the island.]
Having said this, old Nelson lowered his head and looked at the surging sea below the boat.
Hearing this, Roger understood.
No wonder old Nelson asked him how long he could hold his breath.
The purpose is to find the location of the cave mentioned by Holly.
At the same time, a small island slowly appeared in Rogge's sight.
This island is really small, and its diameter appears to be no more than a dozen meters.
However, there are several exposed hard gray reefs on the island, with some algae at the bottom and a few pebbles buried on the outer beach.
The two men moored the boat at the shore of the island and packed up their things.
[Rogge, you are a good kid. Although I really want to find Holly, your safety is more important.]
[If you can't find it, just go ashore, got it? ]
Old Nelson looked serious.
Upon hearing this, Rogge didn't say much, just nodded and said hello.
Then he took a deep breath and dived into the sea.
After entering the water, Rogge took out an octopus from his inventory, controlled it, and then split into two groups to search the sea.
Soon, Rogge had a general overview of the entire island below.
In fact, it is not accurate to call it an island.
To be precise, this is a stone mountain in the sea.
After going deep into the sea, Rogge saw steep exposed limestone, and in one direction there was an underwater cliff like an abyss, bottomless, dark and cold.
Rogge believed that the cave was most likely beneath this abyss.
However, he was not in a hurry to go in, and explored around the island.
Not long after, the octopus clone found an extremely hidden, dark cave entrance in another dense seaweed patch.
found it!
