Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 805: Lighthouse Island

The scarlet forked tongue continued to spit in and out of the green mouth, and made a slight sound.

This made it difficult for Charles to tell whether these things were snake people or lizard people.

Shining just took a step forward, but was pulled back by Charles, "Don't worry, wait and see what they have to say first."

"Outsiders, you are not from this island, you'd better think clearly whose territory this is before you want to cause trouble."

A snake man who was staring at Charles was the first to speak. Judging from the fact that he spoke first, this person should be the leader of these snake men.

What the other party said made Charles feel very strange. It was not like what a villain would say, at least not like what a man-eating monster would say.

"Whose territory is this place? Should it be a human territory?" Charles said calmly, looking at a group of snake monsters in front of him.

Who would have thought that it would be fine if Charles didn't say anything, and the people in front of him immediately took it as a provocation when he opened his mouth.

Anger suddenly appeared on the faces of the snake people, and they quickly pulled out the daggers stuck to the dark green mucus from their waists, opened their sharp teeth, and rushed over quickly with afterimages.

Charles turned his head to look at Winky, "Did I say the wrong thing? It seems I didn't?"

The moment he turned his head, the snake man sped up and jumped in front of him. The three dagger blades were only 30 centimeters away from his head.

A ferocious smile appeared on the snake man's face, and when he thought he had succeeded, the entire dark alley instantly lit up, transparent tentacles rose from the ground and waved continuously, dazzling electric arcs jumped rapidly between the snake man,

When the light gradually dimmed, there were more than a dozen charred corpses lying on the ground that smelled of garbage and urine.

"Let's go, this island looks interesting, let's take a good look around." Charles walked past the charred corpse with Shining.

Charles didn't intend to care about the origins of these monsters. Anyway, this is not his island. When Winky gets tired of playing, this place has nothing to do with him.

As soon as the two of them left, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the tunnel full of burnt smell, and the eyes were cloudy and uncertain, "Charles? Why did the governor of Hope Island come to my island? What exactly is he going to do? No, I must report to Pete immediately. gentlemen!"

Returning to the crowded streets again, Charles took his daughter to visit the exotic island in front of him, and this time there was no tail behind them.

"Crack~" Shining took a bite of the shortbread in his hand. The cake was pressed very large and thin, and there were some meat strips sandwiched in the noodles. The color should be fish.

"Dad, do you want to eat it? It tastes okay." Shining put the cake in front of Charles, who shook his head.

Charles was more interested in the act of his daughter eating than in the food. "Can you feel the smell of food? I heard Anna said that you couldn't do it before?"

Shiny took a big bite and said while chewing; "I couldn't do it before, but now I can simulate it."

"Tasting the taste is nothing more than building a tongue that can taste the taste. As time goes by, not only my strength has become stronger, but my learning ability has also become stronger and stronger."

Charles looked at Shining in front of him with some emotion. She was only approaching 5 years old now, and it was really hard to imagine how Shining's true strength would be after decades.

If it can really improve infinitely, does that mean that Shining is likely to become the new god of Earth Sea? If there is Shining protection, perhaps this eternal endless cycle of human beings in Earthsea may be broken.

Although this is only a low possibility, Charles sincerely hopes that it is true.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Shining stared at himself and watched his father tilt his head.

"It's okay." Charles turned his head and looked at the stall owner who was holding two large iron plates to bake shortbread. "What kind of meat is in this cake?"

The old stall owner showed a smug expression on his face. "You're from the Outer Islands? Of course the meat in the shark patty is shark meat."

"Doesn't shark meat smell like urine?" Charles raised a piece of pie with his mechanical left hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He found that there was no peculiar smell in the meat, and it looked like cod.

"Sir, if you say this to you, I know you are not from this island. This fish cake business has been in business since my grandfather's generation. Even those mages know that my family has a secret recipe that can get rid of sharks. Urine smells."

"Master Master? So you are not a mage?" Charles knew nothing about the system and humanities in the Western Sea Region.

"Of course not. If I were talented, I wouldn't be doing this kind of low-level work like Khalida. I would have joined the family of the master mages long ago, and went to the heart of the island to live a good life."

A flash of contempt flashed in Charles' heart. "These old people in the Western Sea Region are still adhering to a bunch of old rules. Don't they know that earth-shaking changes are taking place outside? No wonder people in other sea regions always say that people in the Western Sea Region are the most conservative."

Charles was about to leave with Winky, but he was immediately stopped by the smiling stall owner. "Well, sir, your wife is so beautiful, you shouldn't eat free food in front of her, right?"

I forgot to give money, but this is normal, Charles really doesn't use currency much now. Charles took it out of his pocket, and he took out a few banknotes and handed them to the stall owner.

"Sir, are you kidding me?" Looking at the portrait of Charles on the banknote, the stall owner's expression was a bit ugly

"10 echoes, sir, thank you for your patronage." The stall owner held out his right palm to Charles with a firm attitude.

When Charles turned his head to look at his daughter, he found that she had no intention of rescuing him, but looked at him with a snicker while biting a shortbread.

Although Charles could just leave without paying, he couldn't afford to lose this person. If he owed a little more, it would be fine. The question only got 10 responses. If he really didn't pay, it would be too cheap.

After thinking for a while, Charles took out the pocket watch that had faded from use for too long, and put it into the hands of the stall owner. "Are you still using Echo Coins? Didn't the governors of the whole land sea jointly abolish it? Is it because the notice hasn't come down, or is there no ability to mint coins in the Western Sea Region?"

The stall owner didn't answer Charles' question. His eyes widened, and he looked at the somewhat faded pocket watch with a shocked expression. His hands even began to tremble.

"What? This thing is not worth 10 echoes in the Western Sea?"

The stall owner quickly stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket like a thief, and nodded vigorously. "It's worth it! It's so worth it! This thing is not something that people of my class can use!"

After speaking, the man returned to the front of the stall and started to work in a hurry. After a while, he held a dozen pieces of shortbread and sent it to Shining in front of him with a smile on his face.
