The subsequent voyage was as Alvin expected. Almost every day or so, the guide pointer would start to change its direction. Fortunately, the angle it changed each time was not large, and the duration was not long, about half an hour. The new direction will stabilize. This change is barely within Ivan's acceptable range. Otherwise, Ivan would have to consider whether to continue sailing. But even so, after four or five days, Alvin began to feel a little uneasy. Looking at the unchanged sea outside the ship's side, he was a little worried whether he had made the wrong decision. After all, Alvin has never been in contact with the ocean before, so he has no experience in matters at sea, and he is not as confident in the decisions he makes as he is on land. According to Nick, there are not many restrictions on the rules of this transaction. As long as you arrive at the trading location, you can trade. You can come and go freely during the period. The only requirement is to arrive at the trading location before the end of the trade fair. The trade fair The end time is one month later. If you have not arrived at the transaction location by then, the transaction qualification will be automatically canceled and the transaction will end. It was precisely because of Nick's answer that Alvin made up his mind to set out to find the trading location in advance. After all, the trading time was only left to him for one month. If he was busy with Siris Nair's affairs first, who knew whether he would be able to make it in time? . Thinking about it now, Ivan feels that his decision was a bit hasty, because he did not consider the time it would take to find a trading location. If too much time is spent in this process, then what happened to Siris Nair? Isn¡¯t it going to turn yellow? Other ship owners participating in the transaction are not subject to any time restrictions. So I don't care at all about how much time it takes, I only care about whether I can trade the goods, but Ivan can't see it that way. A ship can normally only carry one month of supplies. The forces holding this transaction should also be aware of this, so in theory, taking into account the round trip consumption, Aiwen can reach his destination in no more than half a month, but in fact, once the time spent on the road exceeds Ten days. There is less point in finding a trading location. The Lion Heart has been sailing for four or five days. In these short four or five days, the Lion Heart broke into a nest of underwater snake people. We passed by a giant sea monster that was sucking sea water, and finally we even passed through a shallow water area with dense reefs. It sounds like this experience is very scary, but in fact it is not very dangerous. The first two only require the crew to keep quiet. Extinguish the torch. You can sneak past without attracting the other party's attention. The latter slows down and pays careful attention to the underwater rocks, and you can also break out. However, this is only a benefit that a single seagoing ship can have. If it is a fleet, and there are no Tell me how long you will be stuck in the reef area. It¡¯s just the snake man¡¯s lair and the giant sea monster, if you don¡¯t want to retreat. They can only bite the bullet and start a bloody battle. These measures, which were obviously aimed at large fleets, made Alvin confirm that he was sailing on the right path. It would be a bit unwilling to let him give up midway. Fortunately, Ivan's struggle did not last long. When the sixth day came, the lookout on the lookout suddenly shouted loudly downwards. He found a large blurry shadow in front of the ship. . Hearing the warning, Alvin and Gross quickly brought the guide pointer to the bow of the ship. They found that the guide pointer was pointing straight to the center of the shadow, with no deviation in the direction. If nothing else, the blur was there. The location of the shadow should be the location of this transaction. Aiwen let out a breath, his expression gradually relaxed, and the anxiety of the past few days seemed to disappear from his body. "Gross, what do you think that shadow is?" Ivan asked casually. "I think it's a magical effect. Hidden in the shadow is either a fleet or a giant sea ship." Gross affirmed. Ivan nodded, quite agreeing with Gross's guess. These days, while having nothing to do on the boat, Ivan also thought carefully about the question of where the mysterious force would choose the location for the transaction. After thinking about it, he still felt that the location of the transaction should be on a ship. , not only because of safety, but also because only ships can move around on the sea, causing the pointer to constantly change direction. Gross and Alvin stood on the bow of the ship together, looking forward. After waiting for a while, the blurred shadows gradually became clear, and a small island covered with green vegetation slowly emerged from the darkness. Gross rubbed his eyes in confusion and whispered: "Why does this ship look like an island?" "Captain! This is the island!" A bolder crew member behind him responded, on the deck Suddenly there was a burst of laughter. "Shut up!" Gross said in Ai.He was embarrassed in front of him, and suddenly became a little angry. He waved his fist and threatened the crew behind him: "Do you still want to go ashore and take a walk?" "Hey, we were wrong. That is indeed a big ship. Captain, your Your eyesight is so good!" one of the crew members said pretending. Gross¡¯ face turned red on the spot, and his fists clenched loudly. It seemed that if Alvin hadn¡¯t been there, he would have taken out the troublemaker and beat him up. In fact, Alvin had the same question in his mind, but he didn't say it out as foolishly as Gross. "Don't rush to the shore yet, let's park the ship here!" Ivan ordered, interrupting the crew's venting fuss. The crew members who were in inexplicable excitement suddenly fell silent. They looked at each other. After a while, a crew member carefully said: "Lord, if we stop the ship here, will we not be able to go to the island?" "Yes." , but this is only temporary." Ivan said. Ivan raised the guide pointer in his hand: "This is the trading token I got from the captured ship. In other words, this token originally belonged to humans. Maybe this trading place will be friendly to human merchant ships, but it is not friendly to human merchant ships." We devils can't guarantee that. This is the sea. If something happens, we won't have anywhere to escape, so I have to be cautious." "Oh -" the crew sighed. They walked back to their respective posts listlessly. "Lord, is it true that we devils are not welcome on this island?" Gross asked in a low voice while standing next to Ivan while loudly giving the order to stop the ship. "The news I got is no. But do you believe this kind of thing? There is actually a force in the center of the earth that has no prejudice against members of the three major camps?" Ivan asked. "This" Gross scratched his head and was speechless. "Anyway, be prepared!" Ivan said calmly: "We can't afford to gamble now." "But, now that we are here, someone must go to the island to take a look!" Gross finally choked out a sentence. "I've already thought of the candidate, so you don't need to worry." Ai Wen said. "Oh!" Gross replied when I heard this. Knowing that he would definitely have no share, he looked disappointedly at Sika, who was sitting in the corner recuperating. Although this guy looked yin and yang, he looked very strange. But if he restrains the demonic aura in his body, he will be no different from a human being, so he will definitely become one of the candidates to go to the island. Gross was sighing when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a thin figure sneaking towards this side. Immediately, his face sank and he shouted: "Lance. What do you want to do when you come here sneakily?" "Captain Gross, I have a big discovery and I want to report it to the lord!" Lance defended carefully, he I felt aggrieved in my heart, what does it mean to be sneaky? With the physique of a little devil, this is the only way to walk on such a swaying deck! "What findings do you want to report?" Ivan heard the voice. Asked over his shoulder. "Lord, it's like this. I just recalled it and found that in my memory, this island did not exist in this sea area a year ago." Lance said confidently. "Is your memory reliable?" Gross glared at him sideways: "The plants on this island are so lush and lush, how does it look like it has only existed for less than a year?" In the past, every time Lance was asked to identify the sea ahead. , this guy always said with a bitter look on his face that he couldn't find any impression, but now that he was in the place, this guy suddenly jumped out and said that something was wrong, and he really couldn't make a good impression on Gross. "Absolutely reliable, Captain. The reef area we passed yesterday was very large and left a deep impression on my memory. So I finally remembered that there was absolutely no trace of anything within a day's sail near this reef area. The island exists." Lance swore so confidently that he almost wrote an oath in blood. "That's it." Ai Wen nodded thoughtfully. Even if Lance doesn¡¯t show up, Alvin will be careful and will not miss any necessary precautions. However, compared to the original plan beforehand, Alvin was more thoughtful at this moment. He threw a bag of dried fruits to Lance as a reward for the news he brought, and then walked towards Sika's position, and finally stopped before him Sit down beside him. Sika opened her eyes and glanced at Alvin inquiringly. "I need your help!" Ivan said, giving him some instructions in a low voice. Sika nodded gently while listening, glanced at Alvin with a little surprise, and said, "I'll give you an answer in half an hour." After Sika finished speaking, she didn't see any action, but closed her eyes. The crew members on the Lionheart were not surprised.After such a long voyage, they already knew that this was Sika mobilizing the blood-sucking larvae hidden in the bottom cabin of the Lion Heart. The entrances and exits of these blood-sucking larvae were hidden underwater. They were not weak in strength, and their ability to conceal their breath was particularly powerful. , it¡¯s perfect for conducting covert investigations underwater. "Lord, there is a small boat coming to the island." After a few minutes, the lookout on the mast suddenly shouted. "People are coming so soon?" Ivan was a little surprised. He stood up and looked ahead. Sure enough, he saw a small boat that could carry five people appearing on the dark sea. This kind of boat cannot be used for long voyages. , but there is no problem in moving short distances on the sea. Compared with large sea ships, its speed is actually faster. "They should have sent an envoy to inquire about our purpose. Lord, what should we do?" Gross quickly removed all the people near the bow of the ship, walked to Ivan, and said excitedly. "Don't let them get close, put down the lifeboat, and I will contact them personally." Ivan ordered. "Lord, are you going alone? It's too dangerous. It's better to find someone to go with you!" Gross glanced at Sika and saw him sitting with his eyes closed. He looked like he was out of his mind, thinking that he might be in trouble, so he quickly puffed up his chest. "If you saw off both horns on your head, maybe I would choose you to go with me, but unfortunately" Ivan shook his head secretly, looked around, and finally waved in one direction: "Lance, Come here!" The lifeboat was lowered to the sea, and Lance, wearing a waterproof leather jacket, sat in the rower's position. With a frown on his face, he grabbed two wooden oars and started rowing with gritted teeth. Ivan stood at the bow of the boat. There is a circle of blur around his body. By slightly adjusting the light, he can change himself into a human man, which looks very real. At this moment. Alvin stared straight at the approaching boat in the distance. like a statue. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The small boat opposite only has two men in black robes, one is rowing and the other is standing with his hands tied. As the two boats approached each other, a slightly hoarse voice came from the front. ¡°£¤#£¨x&¡¡¡± I don¡¯t understand! Ivan felt a little feverish on his face. The guy on the opposite boat seemed to see Ivan¡¯s embarrassment, and immediately changed to another language. Although the pronunciation sounded a little weird, but But it was in common language. This time Ivan finally understood that the other party was asking about his identity and origin. "I am a human businessman who came by invitation. It is my first time to participate in such a transaction, and I don't know the rules here. , that¡¯s why I stopped the ship, I didn¡¯t mean any harm!¡± Ivan explained, while showing the guide pointer in his hand. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you call it?¡± Seeing the pointer in Ivan¡¯s hand, the other party¡¯s tone suddenly relaxed. He replied: "Dear guest, you can just call me Gore. I can understand your thoughts, but please don't worry. We will ensure the personal safety of every trader who comes to the island. Any attacks that harm traders will Any behavior will be severely punished by us. "During the conversation, the two ships finally came together. Ivan looked at each other carefully with his eyes. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have learned the secretive measures he used when opening the underground black market, and was covered from head to toe. Dressed in a black robe, his face was shrouded in a black mist, making it difficult to distinguish. But this obviously did not trouble Aiwen. He immediately activated his talent, and two groups of yellow runes immediately fed back to his mental space. "Murloc?" Ivan clicked and looked at it, and he was suddenly surprised. He had never thought that under the cover of the black robe, there could be such a race. Who would have thought that the fishman would actually use a rowing boat to hide himself? Where is their identity? Ivan thought while quietly flaring his nose. He didn't smell the fishy smell that the fishmen often had in rumors. It seemed that they were doing a good job of keeping secrets unless they were forced to take off their robes. , otherwise you won¡¯t be able to discover their true identity. But I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not that simple to use force. Not to mention that this is someone else¡¯s territory. If you do something here, there will be a lot of people coming out like a hornet¡¯s nest. That¡¯s it. The strength of the fishmen is not as harmless as their kind tone. One is a second-level and the other is a third-level. This is the strength of the two fishmen standing in front of Ivan. This strength is enough to deal with most of them. Crisis. Even if they are unlucky enough to encounter a master and they jump into the sea unprepared, who can catch them? But if the top leaders of this mysterious organization are also fishmen or are related to fishmen, then what will they do to the three major camps? It is somewhat reliable to say that they are completely neutral. After all, fishmen like to plunder by nature. Like humans, they originated from the surface world and have nothing to do with underground races. Not to mention their relationship with demons, they are also hostile to humans. ?Perhaps it can be said that they are enemies of the three major camps at the same time, so they will not favor any one party at all. Ivan was thinking about it in his mind while dealing with the fishman in front of him: "Gore, do we have to dock the ship? Can we just send people on small boats to trade on the island?" "Dear guest, if If you insist on doing so, it is allowed, but the island you are seeing now is a rare floating island. It will only stay here for half a day, and after half a day, it will move in other directions, so if If you don't want to dock, you have to complete all the transactions within half a day, and after half a day, you have to leave the island," the black-robed fish man explained. "Floating island?" Ai Wen was stunned. Well, in addition to artificially built floating islands, he did hear that when a volcano erupts, some magma is mixed with a large number of bubbles during the solidification process, turning into frivolous rocks that can float on the water. The largest of them The area can reach 26,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to more than two-thirds of Taiwan. This floating island is naturally not that huge, but it is still nearly a hundred square kilometers, and its area is close to Ivan's Lion Heart Territory. In this world, Is it possible for such a large floating island to form naturally? "Exactly!" The black-robed fishman didn't know what Aiwen was thinking, but he didn't need to think too much. According to common sense, he should be shocked and inexplicable. After all, owning such a floating island is equivalent to standing on the right side of the sea when fighting. An invincible position. "Thank you for informing me, but I have to go back and discuss this matter with others. By the way, Gore, please tell me again, if I want to go to the island to trade, where should I dock?" Ivan was stunned for a while. Yes, after giving the black-robed fishman enough face, he asked as if he suddenly came back to his senses. ¡°It¡¯s simple, you just need to lean towards the sharp corner on the right side of the island.¡± The black-robed fishman said politely. "I understand, thank you very much!" Ivan nodded. "You're welcome. The reason why I'm telling you this is just to hope that you can make a decision as soon as possible. Although we are open to do business and make money in harmony, we don't like to have a ship with unknown intentions staying around." Gore said a little Meaningful way. (To be continued)
