Chapter 297 [Federal Library]
In the process of approaching [Liu Li Island].
Shane always paid attention to the two federal frigates that suddenly appeared next to him.
After all, the timing of their appearance was a bit too coincidental—it happened to be not long after the [Black Swan] broke out of the vampire hunt.
Moreover, this sea area is actually still some distance away from [Liu Li Island].
The arrival of these two frigates can hardly be said to be a coincidence.
It felt to Xia En as if he had come to greet the Black Swan on purpose.
Shane originally guessed that Carles might be on the two ships.
But when the remaining three warships of the Blood Tribe disappeared from sight, no one on the **** ship came forward to negotiate with them, as if the two ships were just on routine patrol.
This contradictory situation naturally made Xia En feel quite strange.
It wasn''t until the three ships sailed into the port of [Liu Li Island] that a familiar face finally appeared on the deck.
"Captain Shane, long time no see."
Hearing this hearty voice, Xia En was surprised and a little pleasantly surprised.
"Captain Dulan? Why are you at [Liu Li Island]?"
The person who appeared on the frigate was none other than the demi-human Duran, whom Shane had met several times!
Duran still looks tall and strong, with brown hair all over his body, and he looks like he has a good handle.
With Xia En''s perception, he could easily detect -
Compared with the last time they met, Duran''s aura has improved greatly, and he must have become a third-level mystic.
In fact, this is the speed at which normal Mystics are promoted.
There are even more Mystics who cannot advance to the first level in several years or decades.
Looking at Xia En in front of him, Dulan was filled with emotion and admiration.
If anyone had told him when they first met that this handsome young captain could become a fifth-level mystic and become famous on the Seven Seas, he would have thought it was a fantasy.
But now, all this has become a fact.
Moreover, just being able to escape from the encirclement of five vampire warships is enough to prove Xia En''s strength.
Suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Dulan smiled and said: "I am no longer the captain, just the first mate on the [Iron Eagle]."
Xia En smiled: "Congratulations to you."
Although Dulan''s position has changed from captain to first mate, the sea area under his jurisdiction has changed from a remote place like [Duke Island] to [Liu Li Island].
It''s like going from a small town to a big city.
It seems like a demotion, but in fact it is definitely a promotion.
Duran continued: "Let me introduce to you, this is my current captain, Alessio."
Xia En looked at Duran''s side.
The captain of the [Iron Eagle] is a tall, thin, blond young man with a handsome appearance and a somewhat sharp temperament.
The most surprising thing is that he looks to be about the same age as Shane.
At this age, being able to become the captain of the federal **** ship near [Liu Li Island], coupled with the aura of a fourth-level mystic in him, can be regarded as a young and promising person.
However, Alessio looked at Shane with very complicated eyes.
There is envy, vigilance, and surprise...
And some strange hostility?
Xia En was a little confused. Did he offend this young captain in some way?
It was obviously the first time they met, right?
Strangely enough, Alessio helped him at a critical moment, so Xia En didn''t care too much and took the initiative to reach out and said.
"I''m Shane, nice to meet you."
Alessio shook his hand and then said coldly.
"Xia En, this name... I have heard it many times. I didn''t expect you to really have the courage to come to [Liu Li Island]."
"…Um?"
Xia En raised his eyebrows and his expression became wary.
Although I don’t know where Alessio’s hostility comes from, he expressed it directly. Of course, Shane can’t pretend that he didn’t hear it.
However, just when Shane was about to say something.
With a "pop" sound, a white palm hit Alessio directly on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The owner of the palm turned around and looked at Xia En with a smile: "Don''t listen to Xiao Aao''s nonsense, our attitude towards you is very friendly."
"Otherwise, we wouldn''t have gone to such great lengths to dispatch these two **** ships to pick you up..."
When he saw Xia En''s face, the owner of the palm paused in his words.
At this time, Xia En was able to see the face of this woman clearly.
This is a dashing, graceful blonde woman with an extremely hot figure.
The plump **** that are ready to come out are something that no male can ignore.
Her appearance is 50 or 60% similar to Alessio''s, and she obviously has some kind of blood relationship.
"Sister, how many times have I told you not to hit me on the head!"
The cold attitude Alessio had played before was instantly "broken" when he was hit by the blonde woman.
He looked extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about his sister.
But at this time, the blonde woman''s attention had been completely attracted by Shane.
She stared intently at Xia En''s face, which was so exquisite that it could be described as "perfect". Her eyes were so bright that her saliva was almost drooling.
"I heard from Carles before that that Shane is very good-looking. Now it seems that she is really a rare beauty."
"No wonder she has always been obsessed with you."
Hearing this, Shane''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know Carles?"
"Where is she now?"
The blonde woman took a step forward, came to Shane, and hugged his shoulders.
The amazing elasticity was transmitted through the thin clothes, and Shane could even use this to outline the rounded arc in his mind.
However, what worried Xia En more was the speed with which she took this step.
Even Xia En can''t seem to stop her, which shows the extraordinary strength of this woman.
"Don''t worry~"
The woman''s red lips opened slightly and she said softly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Daisy. I am Carles'' colleague and friend."
"If you want to know where Carles is, why don''t you chat with me first?"
As she spoke, Daisy''s fingers slowly traced across Xia En''s solid chest, her gesture was very ambiguous.
Shane frowned.
To be honest, he didn''t particularly like such a frivolous woman, so he said lightly.
"I think we should get down to business, right?"
The flamboyant Daisy curled her lips and said, "You can''t even take a joke. She is exactly the same as Carles."
But she still returned to Alessio''s side honestly. Even before leaving, she didn''t forget to touch Xia En''s chest muscles.
Xia En couldn''t help but smile.
Is he being fooled?
After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En glanced at the two **** ships next to him and said seriously. "Thank you both for your help."
He has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, so he naturally knew that Daisy and her brother were friends of Carles, but not his friends.
They are willing to help out of affection, but not to help out of duty.
Moreover, if the vampires were really determined just now, they might not take action against the federal **** ship.
"Little things, little things."
Daisy waved her hand generously: "When Carles left [Liu Li Island], he specifically told us that if you come to [Liu Li Island], we must help you."
"Actually, we didn''t help much. The main reason is that your [Black Swan] was powerful enough to break out of their encirclement."
"If you are really caught by the vampires, even if we come forward, it will probably be of no use."
Daisy said this very frankly.
The combat power of the two **** ships was actually nothing at all. It was only because the Federation of the Seven Seas stood behind them that the vampires turned against them.
But this fear is obviously limited. It can only prevent the vampires from attacking them, but it cannot prevent them from spitting out the prey they have eaten.
That''s why Daisy said this.
At this time, Alessio on the side said coldly: "However, you destroyed the two ships of the vampires this time, which can be considered as completely angering the vampires."
"After that, as long as you leave [Liu Li Island] again, you may be hunted by a larger scale of bloodshed."
"When the time comes, we won''t be able to help, so you''ll have to ask for your own blessings."
His words were clearly concerned, but his tone was somehow harsh, which made Xia En look a little weird.
"Haha, don''t worry!"
Daisy patted Alessio on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That''s the character of little Oao. What''s that word called? It seems...arrogant?"
"But don''t blame him. He targeted you for a reason."
Daisy explained to Xia En: "At the beginning, Xiao Aao was actually the original driver of [Platinum Knight]."
"Whether it''s physical body or secret power, they all have a very high degree of compatibility."
"As a result, after Carles went on a mission, you robbed her of her first chance to unite. After that, Carlis didn''t allow anyone else to enter her body, so the driver''s matter was naturally left alone."
"Even now, little Ao''ao still feels resentful in his heart!"
After hearing this, Shane immediately understood where Alessio''s hostility came from.
Co-author, Alessio is Carles''s "childhood sweetheart", and he is the latecomer who stepped in.
Not only did he take away Carles'' first time, but he also made her completely obsessed with him...
Hiss...this plot?
There are cows!
After thinking about all this, Shane no longer cared about Alessio''s stinging words.
To be fair, anyone who encounters this kind of situation would be resentful!
Not to mention the thorny words, it is not impossible to challenge directly in person.
As a profiteer myself, I can only understand a little bit.
Soon, Shane asked Daisy again: "You said... before Carlisle left?"
"She has left [Liuli Island] now?"
Daisy nodded: "Yes."
"Her father is the captain of the [King], so she is also the first batch of supporters to go to the [Cold Sea]."
"I see."
Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn''t see Carles, but the situation was like this, there was nothing Shane could do.
The top priority right now is to find a place to stay and let the crew rest for a few days.
In fact, since the [Black Swan] left the [Ice Island], Xia En and others have not seriously rested on any island.
Long-term sea voyages actually place a considerable burden on people''s minds and spirits.
If it weren''t for Xia En''s [Rhine Secret Realm] for the crew to rest, and Feiya and Joey''s means of purifying their souls, something might have gone wrong a long time ago.
"Are you looking for a place to stay?"
Daisy saw what Xia En was thinking and said considerately: "Carles has already prepared it for you, come with me."
…
…
Under the leadership of Daisy, the group officially set foot on [Liu Li Island].
As soon as he landed on this island, Xia En immediately felt a distinctive feature that was different from other islands—big!
On other islands, due to island area restrictions.
People always try to compress unnecessary space as much as possible to free up more space for living or other important aspects.
There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it will inevitably make the layout of the entire island look a bit bloated and crowded.
Available at [Liu Li Island].
Whether it is streets, corridors, houses, or churches, they are all extremely spacious.
The streets and buildings on both sides of the roads in the city have obviously been carefully planned and are not just "barbaric growth" without order.
It just looks pleasing to the eye.
Even on the road, Sean could see green plants and flowers.
Cinemas, dance halls, grand theaters, museums... these buildings that seemed to have been lost in the post-flood era are neatly displayed on [Liu Li Island].
It can be said that the prosperity of [Liu Li Island] is not the kind of "prosperity" that is magnificent, dazzling and blinding people with a large number of luxury goods.
It is another kind of quiet prosperity that symbolizes civilization and order.
As far as Xia En was concerned, it was obvious that the latter made people feel more comfortable.
But at the same time, Xia En and others also noticed—
The pedestrians on [Liu Li Island] are not too dense, and are even a little sparse.
Many of the shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed, and it was unclear whether they were closed or closed.
Some streets looked quite deserted.
Daisy explained: "This is not only the impact of the second flood prophecy, but also because of the previous war between the Hui Sect, the Nether Sect and the Truth Society."
"In order to prevent the infiltration of the esoteric believers, [Liu Li Island] once cut off the entry and exit of merchant ships, which is why it is now like this."
At this point, Daisy sighed: "I really don''t know why they are fighting."
"On the contrary, we suffered an unreasonable disaster."
Shane: "..."
Not long after, Daisy brought Shane and others to a manor.
"This is Carles''s manor, you can live here first."
"If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."
Hearing this, Xia En said directly: "It just so happens that I have a need now."
…
"You want to explore pre-Flood history?"
"Still want to find some possibly lost spells?"
After listening to Xia En''s request, Daisy thought for a moment and gave the answer: "Then there is only one place you want to go -"
