Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 212 Broken Heart Island

Standing on the slightly shaking deck, Charles looked at the dim lights in the distance, with a relieved smile on his haggard face.

Anyway, they've finally reached Broken Heart Island.

"It's...all... thanks to...the Almighty's...asylum...His servant...rescued us..." Bandage knelt on both knees, bowing reverently to the sea.

On the other side, Linda rested her hand on the white triangle on her forehead, muttering something, obviously she had her own explanation for getting out of the predicament.

Charles didn't think so, and learned from those giants that they were attracted by something, something that moved very fast underwater.

But they didn't see anything clearly, but no matter what it was, it couldn't be a messenger sent by their god. The god of Earth Sea had never been so kind.

As the Narwhal approached the island, Charles finally knew why the island was called Heartbroken Island. Unlike any previous island, this island was a whole. It was an island group composed of various small islands.

It was like a complete ceramic plate fell to the ground and smashed into several pieces.

The Narwhal drove into a dock, and she needed repairs due to her scars.

The shipyard on Broken Heart Island is obviously different from other places. First of all, the most special thing is that it is big, not only the size of the shipyard, but also the drawings of stools, tables, and various machinery. Any normal things here must be nearly doubled, including So are people.

Fortunately, no matter whether it was the boatman carrying the huge bone or the engineering staff holding the blueprints, they all ignored Charles, which made the crew members feel relieved.

In the dock, these giants no longer wear the robes, completely exposing their bodies.

Apart from their size, they have a few differences from ordinary humans. Their skin is light blue, their chins protrude forward in unison, and their eyebrows are connected together, giving them the feeling of a prehistoric ape.

And Charles also discovered that the dock here does not have many mechanical things, and it looks so primitive, which is almost impossible on other islands.

While Charles was observing the dock, a giant with a pencil behind his ear came over, "Do you want to repair the ship?"

"That's right, can you repair steamships? It's mainly about the hull."

The giant circled the Narwhal and said that there was no problem in repairing the steamship. Ordinary repairs take 30 days, and urgent repairs take as little as 5 days at the fastest.

Charles, of course, chose to rush, he would like to waste time in this kind of place.

But there was trouble when he paid the money. These giants did not accept bank checks, nor did they accept Echo Coins.

Just when Charles was in a dilemma, the Haike boatman told Charles not to worry, he had a solution.

Soon he walked in with a shriveled man.

The man opened his mouth at Charles, showing an ugly smile with a few missing teeth.

"Hi, my name is Gordon, don't worry, my price is the lowest in the whole pier, Echo can be exchanged for Golden Clones, and I only charge you two tiers of handling fees."

"What's a golden clone?" Charles asked.

"You don't know this, but you dare to come here to pan for gold?" He took out a fist-sized golden disc from his arms, which seemed to be a gold coin.

"See, this thing is the hard currency here. These guys take it all. Echoes are not popular here."

Looking at the lines on the gold coin, Charles was about to take it to have a look, but Gordon took it back directly. "Do you want to exchange it?"

Charles moved his gaze from the gold coin to Gordon's face, looking at him calmly, "You live on this island?"

"Of course, not only do I live on these islands, but I was also born on this island. I am very familiar with Broken Heart Island. You can find me for any purchases, and I have connections for everything." Gordon's tone Very confident.

After thinking for a while, Charles said to him, "I can agree to exchange with you, but I'm not very familiar with this island. I need you to be my guide. 300,000 echoes are the reward."

Hearing this, Gordon couldn't hide the joy on his face. "No, no problem!! This respected gentleman, please bring the echo, and we will exchange it on the spot."

Just when Charles was carrying out the boxes of echoes, Gurden next to him seemed even more excited than him.

Gordon's actions were quick, and the Echo Coins on the ship were quickly replaced with golden clones, and the Hek boatmen immediately started to act.

Watching them chain the Narwhal to the bridge, Charles walked out with Gordon, who was a little excited.

Outside the dock is the port area. Like the dock, everything on this road is so huge that the crew members have amazed expressions on their faces. Standing here inexplicably feels like walking into the kingdom of giants.

After looking at the huge buildings in front of him for a while, Charles felt a certain sense of awkwardness.

Soon he felt the awkwardness. Compared with his Hope Island, the buildings here are more primitive.

If the technological level of the islands in the North Sea is at the level of the 18th and 19th centuries, then Broken Heart Island has to go back several centuries, and the industry has not left a trace here.

"Sir, please follow me this way, and I will take you to the hotel to settle down first."

"Are there many humans on this island?" Charles asked.

"There are still thousands of people. After all, the Hek people always communicate with the outside world." Gordon said while smiling and greeting the giant passing by, even if the other party ignored him.

The orderly environment around gave Charles a sense of unreality. Is this really the dangerous place that Elizabeth said?

Elizabeth once said that they are a group of disgusting lunatics, a group of existences crazier than the Illuminati Sect and the Fortan God, but now it seems that there is nothing abnormal except for their tall stature and a little indifferent expression.

Even the dock area is much cleaner than other islands.

When Charles asked Gurdon about the Heck tribe, the other party answered immediately.

"Hmm... There is indeed a rumor that they are humans who hybridized with natives, but whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with us, as long as there is money to make."

"Dangerous? It's nonsense. We have been in contact with humans for hundreds of years. What's the danger? Besides, they prefer to be vegetarian. Can you stop judging people by their appearance? Of course, people who walk Don't get too close to them when you are not careful, it is easy to step on them."

"The religion of the Heke people? I don't know much about it. Their beliefs are very messy, but I feel that they are not very devout towards the gods."

"There was a guy who accidentally smashed their statue before. According to other sects, this kid would never come back alive, but those guys just made him lose double the money and bought a new statue. Continue Worship every day."

Following Gordon's story, Charles learned a lot, and when the mystery of the Hikers was revealed, he let go of his guard against these big men.

Indeed, if what Elizabeth said is true, these guys are completely lunatics, and it is impossible to build such a neat city.
