Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 125: Fresh water and fuel

"Bent down! Cover the canvas!" With Charles's order, the dark green canvas that was the same as the seawater covered the boat as a whole, and they curled up behind the canvas and did not move.

After the bright searchlight swept over them, no abnormality was found, and it turned to other places.

Charles lifted the canvas with a sigh of relief and saw the ship with the searchlight. It was a warship armed to the teeth. Not only was it equipped with decks on the front and rear, but also had muzzles on both sides of the ship.

Its speed is so fast, and there is still no sound. If it has just been discovered by it, this mission is probably a complete failure.

The propeller turned, pushing the boat slowly towards the edge of the island.

During the period, they were illuminated by the searchlights of other ships several times, but they were not found by virtue of the prepared canvas and the small hull.

As they approached the island, the appearance of Tianshui Island slowly appeared in front of them.

If one describes Tianshui Island in a geographical environment, it is the hilly landform. Except for the low mountains formed by the accumulation of pitch-black rocks, there are no plants on the mountains no more than 100 meters high.

Coupled with the crab-like appearance of this island, it looks like a crab carrying several low peaks from above.

There are several waterfalls falling from the sky, constantly scouring on the crab's back, and several small rivers meandering between the hills.

They did not go directly to the pier between the crab's tongs, but docked on the left side of the uninhabited crab.

"Hide the boat, the pier is not far ahead, we walked slowly over, so that it is not easy to be noticed by them." Charles, who came to the shore, said to his companion.

"No problem, you are the boss, you have the final say." Feuerbach always responded first.

Charles and the others walked slowly toward the front along the junction of the rock and the sea rice. Not long after, a small river appeared in front of them, which was a tributary of the waterfall in the distance.

Charles squatted down and touched the water with his hand to smell it. There was no smell. After giving Lily's mouse a try, he found that it was indeed fresh water.

Not only fresh water, but also good quality fresh water, the river water is very clear.

Feuerbach excitedly jumped into the river and started backstroke. "Captain Charles, it's very simple. Now our fresh water problem has been solved. This is the first time I have seen so much fresh water."

Charles looked up at the waterfall in the sky, but even with his excellent eyesight and night vision ability, he couldn't see where the water came from.

"Either it is a big lake or groundwater, but considering that there is such a large space below, it is reasonable to have groundwater." Richard jumped out again.

"Get back!"

"Okay, buddy, haven't you been suffocated for so long? What good is it for you to suffocate me? I wanted to kill you, but you also want to kill me now, round up, we are even equal Now." Richard's voice was lazy.

Charles did not want to quarrel with him at this time, and led the crew forward with a sullen face.

After crossing this Danshui River and walking for another hour, Charles finally approached the center of Tianshui Island.

Unlike Coral Island, which is in the middle of the island, almost all pirates on Tianshui Island gather on the crowded seashore. …

Opposite the two tongs ring-shaped water pools is a densely crowded mid-level city. The whole mountain is illuminated by the light of the fire, and when viewed from below, it is a stepped seaside city.

Below the mountain city is the wharf of Tianshui Island, and the wharf is nothing special. 90 look. 90kankan.

The pirates of Tianshui Island will obviously take local materials. The buildings in the mountain city and the pier are all kinds of black rocks, and all the buildings here are made of stone, which looks like an exotic atmosphere.

But no matter how special the architectural style is, they are a group of cruel pirates.

Rows of ragged slaves were **** by ropes on the streets where people came and went on the dock, and they were led by them like cows and sheep.

Contrabands and firearms that are not allowed to be sold on various islands are just placed on the ground and sold at will.

"Don't look at them as a gang of wicked people. The city planning is done well. Oh, look at this street lamp, how bright, ah, look at this clean street, there are not half of the mad beggars, ah, look at this A dedicated prostitute, she came to work before she had time to wear her clothes."

Without Richard's madness, Charles led the others on to the streets of the pier.

Entering the pier from the side is obviously a lot of inconspicuous. The fierce-looking pirates didn't care about Charles, at most it was Lily's rat group that made them look more.

Most of the island’s fuel sales are the responsibility of the customs, but the pirates are concentrated in fear that there is no such organization.

"It's up to you, ask where they bought the fuel." Charles said to the glamorous woman named Linis beside him.

Linis fluffed her gray hair lightly and gave a charming smile on her face. "No problem. As long as it's a man without me, I can't ask."

She glanced around, twisted her waist and pressed a stick to a pirate who was full of alcohol.

Not knowing what was said, soon the drunk drunkard was helped by Linis and walked towards the side alley.

It didn't take long for Linis to come out with a smug look~www.wuxiaspot.com~ come with me. "

All the way along this busy street, Charles and the others quickly came to the side of a three-story black building that was higher than the surrounding buildings.

Linis pretended to look at the scenery of the dock, and said in a low voice to Charles: "That guy said it is here. The fuel business on the dock is controlled by the "king". If you want to buy fuel, you can only buy it from here."

"The task is completed easily, and we can go back." Feuerbach looked happy.

Charles looked at several turrets on the "crab claw" in the distance and shook his head.

"No, grabbing fuel from here is simply seeking death."

Not to mention those forts, just the dozens of warships docked at the pier can keep them coming in and out.

"Then what to do?"

"They shouldn't trade here, Li Qi, you go in and find out where their fuel storage is, and then check how safe the place is."

The believer of the Guangming Cult with a black hood next to him nodded silently, holding a tuning fork-like thing and pasting the white triangle on his forehead, within a few seconds, his body quickly disappeared transparently.

Charles' fingers beat rhythmically on the rough wall. Wait patiently for Richie's news.

Since the fuel is at the dock, there must be fuel production lines on this barren island. So many ships cannot rely on imports.

If finished fuel is not available, maybe you can consider starting with semi-finished products, as long as they can be burned.

"Bump! Bump!" The continuous gunshots disrupted Charles's thoughts. Not only him, but everyone on the street looked at the black building at the same time.
