Li Yi wants to achieve the pre-determined purpose, get the young spirit of the Siren, make a successful conclusion, and end the journey on the sea.
"The long journey is really exhausting. It's time to go back. Excessive time always sucks people's passion. Is this life?" Li Yi sighed.
Jacinto said goodbye to the group of colorful drink lovers. He refused their retention and pretended to squeeze out a few tears. The drink lovers were about to lose this wealthy benefactor, and they wanted to tie him up with a rope.
"If this guy showed his true nature, would he scare them all away?" Li Yi thought with a disgust.
The Leonardo is a coal-burning steamboat, with three towering chimneys emitting black smoke and dust all the time. The first class cabin on the ship is for explorers, the second class cabin provides wealthy people, and the cheap and low-class warehouses are of course the poor.
The owner of the ship was a little old man holding a pipe all day long, occasionally smoking cigars and cigarettes, wearing the old chef's uniform, like his boat, was tattered and full of patches. The Leonardo had also seen many winds and rains, and there were traces of repair, and there were even broken marks of the stern. If it weren't for the stable driving, the people on the ship would definitely be restless.
"Hey, old man, why is your boat so broken?" Li Yi, who was holding the fishing rod, met the owner who also held the fishing rod. The old man's face was very round, his nose was rounder, and his spire was a little red. There were two eyes that looked small but very gentle in the wrinkles.
"Hey, the Leonardo is an old sailor. I have never seen any strong winds and waves? You young people are too young and don't know that the ship has souls. They can learn. The older the ship, the more they understand the habits of the sea, so those new ships are often prone to sink." The old man touched his nose and hung a silver hook on a foot-long bait. Although he was very old, his arms were kneaded and powerful, and his waist was thick and strong, just like the main mast of a sailboat. It seemed that he wanted to catch a big fish.
"Old man, what kind of soul can the boat have? Can you meet an idealist here? Also, with such a big bait, can your waist do what you catch?" Li Yi smiled and waved out the fishing line. Sexibe held his arm tightly, so he could only use one hand to fish.
"Don't call me old man, it's so rude. Call me Mr. Lucas, kid, even if you can't get it up, you don't need to help, haha!" The old man laughed, his temper seemed to be very strange.
"As for orders, old man, oh no, old man Lucas."
"By the way, boy, what's wrong with the girl next to you? She looks like she's lost her soul." Lucas asked with a frown.
Sexibe saw the old man staring at her and was so scared that he hid in Li Yi's arms, with his head buried deep. Li Yi quickly comforted her, "This old man looks like an unskinned onion, but he is not a bad person, don't be afraid."
"Did you have any illness?"
"Well, I will cure her." Li Yi replied calmly.
Lucas seemed to feel the heaviness in his words, and became silent and focused on catching his fish.
"Hey, old...Mr. Lucas, at your age, why don't you find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to support yourself, and why are you still wandering on the sea?" After a while, Li Yi couldn't wait for the fish to take the bait and started chatting with the old man again.
"I am a man born on the sea, the son of the sea. Of course I have to die on the sea, just like a boat will sink one day!" Lucas took out half a cigarette from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and lit it. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sunset on the distant sea level, sprinkling the orange-red sunshine layer by layer on the sea surface. This thick ink and light stroke added a gorgeous color to the vast sea.
"A man just needs to look up at the sky and the sea, so that his mind will be broad!" He added heroically.
"Do you think that if I say this, I will think you are not simple? Will you be respectful? In fact, everyone understands this kind of idiotic truth. Old man, if you don't find a good girl when you are young, you will be the only one left until you are old!" Li Yi took off the hat on his head and put it on Sexibe.
Lucas stopped talking, and the smile on his face drooped, as if hitting his vital point. He spent his whole life roaming the sea and treating the sea as his hometown. Naturally, no girl wanted to marry him, a person who was in danger and wandering on the sea all year round. There were many romantic encounters. After all, when he was young, he was still strong and handsome. He had a lot of black hair in the silver box hanging on his chest and pocket watch. Those beautiful memories were like this sunset, gorgeous but hard to reach.
"Haha, why do you want these regrets when you are old? Isn't it great to be able to do something you like quietly?" Li Yi used his wrist and the fishing line swayed back and forth in the sea water. Then, a silver-scale fish was pulled out of the water and splashed golden in the twilight.
"You guy, you are very sloppy, but I'm just being led by you." Lucas cursed with a smile.
Not long after, his fish was also caught. It was surprisingly large. It was probably about five feet long. It was struggling hard in the sea water, as if it was about to break the fishing line. "It's a big guy! Get it up!"
Lucas bit the pipe handle hard, his face turned red, and the red point of his nose became deeper, like a ripe apple, and the unconcealed joy bloomed from his wrinkled old face.
In the evening, the people on the boat drank delicious fish soup. Hasinto sat next to Li Yi. Suddenly, he put down the spoon and said to him: "Although humans have not evolved, their development in food cooking has made rapid progress. Various seasonings with complex flavors can be compared to more delicious things. Well, wine is also a good thing. I remember that in the past, humans only knew how to smoke and sprinkle salt and make some thin wine."
"It's strange, you're alone at the bottom of the sea and have been so long, aren't you lonely?"
"Because there is no reason to leave, and it is also lonely to leave, but now it is better, changes are always pleasing to the eye." Jacinto's speech is always so slow, and his voice is not as scary as when he was at the bottom of the sea. He is a very magnetic bass.
"Li Yi, lend me your Explorer Medal." Jacinto suddenly made this request.
"Yes." Li Yi didn't care too much, so he took out his white-level explorer medal and handed it over.
"Why is it white? I thought you were a green explorer!" He was a little disappointed.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
"There are many beautiful female explorers on the boat. Alas, it's a pity that those young boys are jealous of me. It's not easy to deal with without an explorer! By the way, lend me Felder to use."
"Okay, Feld, you go with him and remember to ask for a tip." Li Yi ordered, Feld was willing to go there too.
There are many green-level explorers on the ship, most of which are one or two gold-level primary-level paired with green-level peaks, and they are weak. The truly powerful explorers have their own fleets and will not choose this kind of passenger ship for transportation. Li Yi is an exception. Jacinto is having a great time to go to the female guest to drink and play cards every night.
It was evening again, and the weather was not so cold, and many passengers changed into spring clothes - shirts and vests. In the evening was a good time to get out of the cabin and breathe. The deck was filled with tables and chairs. Jacinto and Li Yi found a seat on the side of the boat to sit down. The evening breeze was a little cool, mixing the rich water vapor of the sea and the aroma of barbecue.
"Two glasses of cherry soybean wine, give this kid a glass of pomegranate deer, barbecue and fish, all of them." Jacinto ordered the meal on his own initiative.
Li Yi frowned habitually and expressed dissatisfaction. Sesiebe is no longer afraid of strangers, and she still can't live without Li Yi. When she sleeps at night, she must hug him before she can fall asleep. For this reason, Jacinto often asked jokes: "Hey, boy, you have slept with this girl, how do you deal with her in the future?"
"First, it's sleeping with her, not her. Second, it's normal for dad to sleep with his daughter. At most, it's a bit rebellious during her father's period." Li Yi rolled his eyes.
"Oh, you live a simple life like a cynician, and you also like an Athony in terms of abstinence. You are so young and frowning." Jacinto commented.
"Oh, I haven't heard of such a lot of fresh nouns." Li Yi fed Sexibe pomegranate deer and grouper meat little by little with a silver spoon.
"Oh, let's have another shrimp paste soup!" Jacinto was in full swing, and he swallowed a lot of chili grilled fish, as well as a whole lamb leg, a large grilled sausage, and rum.
"If you continue eating like this, it will sooner or later be exposed, and it has surpassed the limits of human beings."
"It's okay, I'll take it."
The boat was very lively. The waiter walked through the crowd, brought plates of dishes, poured the residue and bones into the sea. Suddenly, Jacinto showed some strange expression on his face, "When a guest is coming, are they here to participate in the carnival?"
Li Yi was shocked. Jacinto's perception range was many times larger than that of him, so he must have discovered something.
A strong light came from afar, just like a beam of light suddenly appeared on a dark stage, especially dazzling.
"What is that?"
"How come there are lights? Is it another ship?"
"I don't know, but it's really rude!"
People were talking about it, not knowing what happened, but Lucas looked grim, "It may be pirates who increased their horsepower and all went to the furnace to add coal, abandoned the load, and drained the water from the bottom cabin!"
"Old man, I can't escape. The other party has already chased for 500 meters, and its speed is three or four times that of the Leonardo. Please accept your fate!" Li Yi patted his shoulder, "Besides, the pirates look down on your broken ship, what are you afraid of? They are robbing the group of explorers."
"Nonsense! How can you wait for death? When you meet a pirate, you are at a loss. Those who cry are girls. It's not what a good captain should do. What are pirates? I haven't seen any pirates before?" Lucas was trembling all over. He took out his pipe and lit it, and looked at the sea with anger. "This group of greedy and want to get something for nothing, don't even want to catch up with my ship!"
"Oh, I'm just telling you a fact. This is something that must happen, just like a person who can't swim will drown when he falls into the sea." Li Yi shrugged and returned to his seat.
Sure enough, a dark red Measurement Sailboat appeared in front of the Leonardo at an incredible speed! Obviously, like the White Rose, it uses spiritual power to drive and travels like flying across the sea. Not to mention such a steamboat, even ordinary green-level water spirits can easily catch up.
"There are six explorers on the ship, four intermediate gold level and ten intermediate gold level, and very powerful teams!" Li Yi's face became serious. He thought that the explorers who plundered this kind of ship were just ordinary small teams, but he didn't expect to have such strength.
"Oh, it's not easy for these people to grab some things, so they won't get along with them," Li Yi thought for a while, and avoided the trouble and let Felder Alger and the others hide it. With Isabella's ability, it's more than enough to deceive the middle-level spirit of the Golden Level. "We disguised ourselves as ordinary people, and there was not even a Golden Level Explorer on the ship. This group of people can't get anything even if they grab some poverty."
The lights flashed in the night shone out, pirate flags on the three-masted sailboat, and a gloomy skull with two red beards.
"This is the most vicious pirate group in the Blue Ocean! The Red Beard Pirates Group can already enter the Overseas Explorer Alliance with their strength, but they are still rampant at sea and bullying the weak!"
"Yes, I heard that they are cruel and use all the best. They are just enjoying the fun of robbery and become pirates. Now it's all!"
When Li Yi heard these comments, he just smiled. The people who were still having fun gatherings just now are now running away with their heads in their arms.
A group of explorers in bright red uniforms that seemed to be stained with blood, boarding the Leonardo. The leader was a fat man, like a balloon full of butter, layer by layer of fat meat stacked together, as if he would explode with a sharp needle, and his body would explode, and rich oil would squirt out of the customized spacious uniform.
The most striking thing is that he had two tufts of furry red beards on his lips, which were as good as his name. The boat immediately became quiet, and everyone was silent, for fear that the other party would notice him.
"Ahh!" Red Beard shook his head, and the fat meat stacked on his neck immediately sounded chubby. He was holding a ferocious bull terrier in his hand, with a shockingly thick jaw, "I'm here at the right time. You are indeed at the party. I said, "How could Archie smell the smell? Haha! You are so lucky to meet me in this vast sea."
He looked very happy, and the pirates behind him were laughing. When the bull terrier heard his master calling his name, he yelled, and the iron chains around his neck were stretched straight.
"My rules, keep money and women, and the rest can be left. Ah, of course, a pretty woman. Don't tell me that she is a guy's wife. Oh my god, I have a lot of control over wives on the boat. I personally prefer younger and younger ones, hahaha!"
"I have been religious recently and don't get bloody. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I just want your wealth!" Red beard narrowed his eyes and swept across the explorers' wallets.
The strength of both sides was completely inconsistent. Everyone gave up resisting and allowed the pirates to search for all their wealth from themselves. They were like a loneliness and hung their heads. The female explorers on the boat were all attacked. The pirates attacked them, said erotic jokes, and judged their figures and appearances.
