Chapter 10 Old Nelson's Request

[Since there is a possibility that they are pirates, why do you still help them? 】

Roger was a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, the islanders should avoid pirates, but why does Linna have a flat attitude?

Linna explained to Rogge after hearing the words.

It turned out that the five seas belonged to a unified maritime country, the Kingdom of Thousand Islands.

In the five sea areas, the pirates who make waves and rob the islanders will be hunted down by the kingdom's fleet. Therefore, ordinary pirates will not plunder the islands at will, and at most they will rest on the islands.

Of course, there are also some vicious pirates who are lawless and fearless of the kingdom's fleet, but the probability is relatively small.

From this point of view, the five sea areas are still relatively peaceful.

Sure enough, it was Novice Village.

Roger was thoughtful.

[However, if you leave the five sea areas in the future, you must be careful at all times. Pirates outside the five sea areas don't have so many scruples. 】

After Linna bandaged Rogge, she reminded him.

Rogge nodded, chatted with Linna again, and left the clinic.

Before leaving, Rogge deliberately switched angles and glanced at Linna.

She has soft, short blue hair, an intelligent and sweet appearance, and slender legs that cannot be concealed by a white coat.

This made Rogge more determined in his mind.

My bed... yuck, I need a ship's doctor on board!
Roger thought.

After treating the wound, Rogge went to Felix's shipyard to continue learning skills.

……

After one night, the sun rose as usual in the Gentle Sea Region, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was warm.

By the pier, Roger was about to go out to sea, but Old Nelson stopped him.

【Rogge, how long can you hold your breath in the water? 】

Roger scratched his head in surprise when he heard the words, wondering why old Nelson suddenly asked this.

After thinking about it, he still said a conservative figure.

[about 5 minutes. 】

Old Nelson was silent for a moment, looked at Roger several times, and then said in a deep voice.

[Can you do me a favor. 】

【it is good. 】

When Rogge heard this, he nodded without asking what old Nelson needed him to do.

Old Nelson helped him a lot, and Rogge would try his best to help him wherever he could.

Seeing that Rogge agreed so readily, Old Nelson didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder, then walked onto his boat and picked up the oars.

[Let's go. 】

Roger thought for a while, and carried the big orange off the boat, intending to keep it in the cabin.

But who knows, as soon as Roger closed the door, Big Ju squeezed out from the gap in the window and came to Roger's feet.

"Meow~"

Daju meowed angrily, as if to say, Kid's wings are stiff and he wants to fly solo, right?
Then he jumped back into the boat and found a comfortable position to curl up and sleep peacefully.

Roger was a little speechless, but he didn't insist, and boarded the boat.

Seeing this, old Nelson was smoking a cigarette, wondering what he was thinking.

Not long after, one old, one young and one cat rowed the boat and drifted in one direction.

【Aren't you wondering what I asked you to do for me? 】

Old Nelson turned his back to Roger, breathing in smoke.

[Of course I'm curious, isn't this waiting for you to tell me. 】

Roger returned honestly.

Old Nelson was speechless for a moment, but he didn't say much, and spoke slowly.

[Sea Snake Island actually has two people guarding the pier. 】

[One is me, the other is Holly, an old woman who likes to die, and also my wife...]

Then, old Nelson began to talk about the old story.

He and Holly grew up together, they can be called childhood sweethearts.

Holly is carefree, sunny and adventurous, while Old Nelson is shy and kind.

Together they were sailors, they went out to sea together, they fought pirates, and they searched for treasures.

In the end, they returned to this native island to guard the pier, watching young people like Rogge sail towards the new sunrise...

It seems that because of mentioning his wife, old Nelson, who has always been concise and concise, became rambling, mentioning some of his own views from time to time.

【Holly is an old woman who likes to drink, and always makes the house smell of alcohol. She is also unkempt, careless, and always loses money...】

【But in fact, I always knew that she just spent all the money on wine or lost it in the tavern...】

【She also likes flowers and sunflowers. I once planted a few plants for her, but she kept pouring wine into the flower beds, and the sunflowers all withered...】

[And the old lady likes to do some dangerous things, such as fishing sea snakes with bare hands,]

Old Nelson laughed.

Although when he mentioned Holly, he had disgust and helplessness on his face, but that kind of sadness and love couldn't be hidden at all.

After a long time, Old Nelson was silent for a moment.

[However, one day five years ago, she excitedly told me that she found a cave near a small island and must explore it. 】

【At that time, I was busy taking care of Linna, so I didn't pay attention to her words. 】

[But the next morning, she left a letter behind, packed her equipment and set off by herself. 】

[Since then, I have never seen her again...]

[A year later, I found her wine bottle on a small island, but did not find a cave on the island. 】

Speaking of this, Old Nelson lowered his head and watched the turbulent sea under the boat.

Hearing this, Rogge understood.

No wonder old Nelson asked him how long he could hold his breath.

The purpose is to find the location of the cave that Holly said.

At the same time, a small island slowly appeared in Rogge's sight.

This island is really quite small, its diameter seems to be no more than a dozen meters at most.

However, there are a few exposed hard gray reefs on the island, some algae plants are distributed at the bottom, and a few pebbles are buried on the surrounding beach.

The two docked the boat on the shore of the island and packed up their things.

【Rogge, you are a good boy. Although I really want to find Holly, your safety is more important. 】

[If you can't find it, go ashore quickly, understand? 】

Old Nelson looked serious.

When Rogge heard this, he didn't say much, he just nodded and said hello.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, and plunged into the sea.

After launching into the water, Rogge took out an octopus from the inventory, controlled it, and searched in the sea in two ways.

Soon, Rogge roughly saw the whole picture below the island.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is an island.

To be precise, this is a stone mountain in the sea.

After going deep into the sea, Rogge saw steep exposed limestone, and in one direction there was an abyss-like seabed cliff, bottomless, dark and cold.

Rogge believes that the cave will most likely be under this abyss.

However, he was not in a hurry to go in, and explored around the island.

It didn't take long for the octopus clone to find an extremely hidden dark hole in another dense seaweed.

found it!
