Chapter 871: Crown of the World
The Narwhal set off towards the crown of the world along the well-explored route.
As a well-known agricultural island in the North Sea, the route between the crown of the world and other islands has long been waded by cargo ships countless times, so Di Pu and his party did not encounter any danger.
The former captain's cabin of Charles has been occupied by Dipper, but he is not alone in the captain's cabin, his wife Alia is also there.
Not long after the boat left Hope Island, she followed her. Di Pu was going to explore the dangerous sea without stopping her, but she had a little request, she had to take herself with her.
At this moment, the two were surrounding the brass typewriter found under the bed, discussing what it was used for. But after working on it for a long time, they still didn't understand anything.
In desperation, they could only ask Lily. As someone who has been with the captain for many years, she must know how to use this thing.
After Lily's brief introduction, Di Pu realized that the thing under the bed turned out to be a relic that could read his inner thoughts.
"Such a useful thing is wasted here. When we go back, we will take this thing to three places. It will be of great help during the interrogation." As Aliya clapped her hand on the brass typewriter, With the sound of "da da da", what she said was printed out in advance.
"Is there no interrogation of relics in the three places? I remember that there is a relic storehouse in Hope Island Police Station." Di Pu asked unexpectedly.
"Of course there is, but there really isn't such a practical relic, haven't you found it? This relic doesn't seem to have any side effects, and other relics are not so safe."
Di Pu looked a bit embarrassed, "Let's forget it, after all, it belongs to the captain, what if he wants to use it when he comes back?"
Alia showed disdain on her face, "This thing is really so important to him, why would he throw it here at will? I guess he has long forgotten that he still has a relic."
Dipper didn't bother to argue with his wife, he just bent down and stuffed the relic under the bed. "Should be there soon?"
"It's almost here. Instead of thinking about this, you should think about the possible dangers that may exist in the crown of the world." Alia sat in front of the table with Erlang's legs crossed, and opened the document to read.
"Dangerous?" Dipper was very surprised. "What danger is there in the crown of the world? Winky is the captain's daughter. Are you still afraid that she will harm us?"
Aliya shook her head slowly, and threw the paper in her hand, "Look, the crown of the world has been a little weird recently. Someone reported that the people on the island are believing in a new religion."
"Believe it, believe it, there are few religions in the sea." Di Pu was not surprised at all.
"This time is different. Since they believed in this religion, they refused to contact outsiders. Even those who went to the crown of the world to buy food were not even allowed to disembark. No matter whether it was wireless telegraphy or other communication facilities, they were cut off. "
"I daresay, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get rid of the trade, I'm afraid they wouldn't even bother to sell ryegrass."
Dipper looked at the document in his hand, but there was no worry on his face, "What are you afraid of, as long as they are still human, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Woo~!" The low sound of the whistle made the two of them tremble, and they poked their heads out of the window at the same time, and a hazy island appeared in front of them.
There is bright light on the pier, but the various light sources are as blurred as if covered with a layer of veil. This is not because the lights in the crown of the world are different from other places, but because the huge mushroom in the center of the island has started to spread spore powder again. .
Dusty spores envelop the light, and that's what it looks like.
As the distance slowly approached, the people on the pier in the spore rain gradually gathered. They wore masks on their faces and scarves around their necks. As long as their skin was exposed, they were wrapped in cloth.
In the spore powder swaying in the wind, they gathered at the pier without saying a word, looking ghostly.
Even if he just swore to say something that he didn't care about, seeing the scene in front of him, Di Pu couldn't help but feel his heart hang.
"Pier 3, where are you guys from the boats parked at Pier 3? Didn't you see that it's the rainy season? The pier does not deliver goods during the rainy season! Go to the customs immediately to handle the docking procedures! I don't want to grow mushrooms on my body! Wrap up your whole body!!"
With the voice of a irascible man coming from the horn on the telegraph pole, the weird atmosphere just disappeared in an instant, and the other people on the boat laughed at each other because their companions were scaring themselves.
When he came to the customs and saw the very normal human faces under the masks of the people in the room, as well as the crew members queuing up with him, Di Pu breathed a sigh of relief.
At present, it seems that this place is normal. The crown of the world is still ruled by humans. As long as it is still human, it will be easy to handle. In the northern waters, no one dares not to give Hope Island face.
Di Pu's prediction was right, when he announced his identity, he immediately saw the other party's expression was tense, and some people beside him even rushed out to report to someone.
Soon, Di Pu and Alia were treated as VIPs, and they were immediately sent to an exquisite waiting room to wait.
A man with beard and wearing a black silk robe hurried in. "Welcome, welcome, is there anything for the honored guests of Hope Island to come to the crown of the world?"
"Are you...?" Di Pu asked with a hesitant expression as he watched the other party grab his right hand and shake it continuously.
"Oh, let me introduce myself. This is the governor of the world, Smith. Of course, our place cannot be compared with the Hope Island favored by God. The number of people is too small. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to call him the governor."
After the other party exchanged warm greetings with Di Pu for a while, he began to get down to business. He picked up the cup of colorful mushroom tea on the table and took a sip.
"Is there something for you two to come to my island? It is also an island that exports food. I believe that the two of you are definitely not here to buy rye?"
Just as Di Pu was about to speak, he was stopped by Aliya. Her husband was too straightforward, so it was better to negotiate with the governor himself.
"Governor Smith, we are here to find someone."
Smith looked very curious. "Oh? Looking for someone? No problem. Who do you want to find? I'll help you find it. There are few people here, so everyone knows each other. Since the death, the number of people on the island has decreased a lot, and suddenly there are so many people outside. In Niijima, even fewer people are willing to come to the crown of the world."
"Those who live above the crown of the world, you who live below should know who I'm looking for?" As soon as he said this, Di Pu and Alia immediately looked at each other's faces, regardless of whether he waited a while Whether you are telling the truth or lying, some expressions cannot be deceiving.
