In the continuous sound of the ebb tide, the time passed a full five days and nights. The black arrow arrived at lost heart Bay, or the highest point of lost heart Bay, the day after the three of them got on board. As the sea gradually receded, Captain hafdan had to adjust the position of the ship to prevent grounding. As for the reason why he did not stop the boat at the original land boundary of lost heart Bay, it was certainly because he was afraid that someone would fish in the water and grab the hard won first prize. In this state, the second ship that returned to lost heart Bay returned to the edge of the land on the third day, the second day after the black arrow returned. The captain of the ship seemed to have known hafdan for a long time, and they said some greetings between the sailors through the boatman.
But every time the two ships approached, hafdan secretly asked the sailors to prepare their weapons. After all, every time a large army returns to lost heart Bay, there are always several empty ships without owners on the shore. The winner said that the owners of these ships had fallen into the water at low tide, and the waves had brought them back. Of course, even an orphan like Cech will not believe this kind of lies. However, in this impossible place, many things will not be disclosed, as long as they can justify themselves.
A little later on the third day, the third ship appeared in the sight of the two captains. Although the flag was not raised, the two old sailors recognized that it was the flagship of the notorious pirate captain "Fisherman" in the sea area. When the pirate ship lurched close, sailors could see that there were several shocking holes in the ship''s hull. Fortunately, they were all above the waterline, causing no fatal damage to the ship''s navigation. Obviously, fishermen in lost heart bay were challenged during the tsunami.
Lothar, who had been able to bask on the deck with the help of net worms, was a little nervous when she heard the sailors say that it was a pirate ship, but the black arrow and another ship drove towards the pirate ship. In the captain''s later explanation, the count understood that as long as the pirates in lost heart Bay, even the most vicious, would not start operations during the tsunami. The purpose of this rule is to make people in this area spend less energy on dealing with their own relatives in the face of natural disasters, and even ask others whether they need help or not.
"This is the bottom line of the sea. We are free sailors, so we refuse to abide by the laws made by men and the virtues in the mouth of nobles. But we are also living human beings, so we will protect our compatriots like other animals in the face of nature. As long as they don''t show their tusks first. And according to those businessmen, people are the most valuable goods in the world. Therefore, if one more person survives, the wealth of lost heart Bay will be more. " Captain hafdan''s words gave Lothar a new understanding of the land. Perhaps there is no absolute chaos in the world, because the two concepts of chaos and order are the standards that have been formulated artificially.
Lothar saw the big pirate named the fisherman on the deck, but judging from his two severed arms, this guy could not catch any fish in the future. After that, the fisherman and the captain of another ship said something in private. Hafdan speculated that he should hire the latter to send himself out of lost heart Bay. This is not a strange thing. Pirates without arms don''t live long here, especially when the pirate crew look at their captain with strange eyes. It is said that the fisherman''s treasure is hidden near a reef in lost heart Bay. It is a treasure that can make people sell their souls. Of course, it has nothing to do with Lothar. Even if he wants money, it is not a safe way to seek treasure from the vast sea.
On the fourth day, more ships returned to lost heart Bay. It seemed that the tide was not so dangerous. Even in the evening of the fourth day, a cargo ship carrying food and fresh water slowly sailed into the shallow water area. Several captains discussed, paid for a third of the ship''s food, and organized a dinner party on the flat beach to celebrate their survival with the sailors. Lothar and the webworm didn''t attend the dinner because they both felt a bit puzzled when they watched the sailors dancing wildly by the campfire.
On the fifth day, there were more survivors. These ships were basically full of residents of lost heart Bay who had taken refuge at sea. The return of these residents means that the whole city has officially entered the stage of reconstruction. People with good water quality began to organize to go to the shallow water to recycle usable materials. Children and women dug out the buried things on the beach. The stronger people went to the nearby mountains to cut down trees for building materials. The whole process is quiet and orderly. We can not see the hope of building a home, nor the despair in the face of the destruction of the home. It is flat like the boundless sea, with a faint sense of numbness. People here are used to this kind of life cycle.
In the evening of the same day, Captain haftan returned to the ship with a little bit of wine. After a few words of explanation to the chief officer, he knocked on the door of the captain''s room which should have belonged to him. Lothar is sitting in his chair, and the netter is checking the healing of his limbs. "Disturbing you?" The captain took off his hat and hung it on the hook by the door. Although he said to disturb him, he didn''t mean to quit. "It depends on what you''re here for." The net bug is not salty reply way, stand up and stare at each other fearlessly.
Even captain haftan could only stand out at this time. After a few days'' observation, the captain had to admit that the lady in front of him was totally different from the woman he had seen. If we have to find someone who is similar to the net worm in this harbor city, I''m afraid only a very small number of female pirates can be compared. But the webworm''s style of doing things has the same self-discipline that pirates would never have. This made the captain not only wonder where Lothar found such a different lady."I think you should be polite to me, Miss webworm. After all, I saved your life and your husband''s life. " The captain shrugged his nose and carelessly sat down on the bed. "Let''s not talk about this. I''ve just come back from the captain''s meeting. I need to ask you something. Don''t be nervous. The same thing is being done on every ship now. We''re looking for the answer to one thing. If you know, or can provide clues, I can offer you a reward, of course, from the money you owe me. "
"Talk about it." Lothar said that it was right to listen to the things that all the captains valued at this time, even if he didn''t know.
Hafdan nodded and thought about the wording. The sailors usually used relatively few words. He had to recall for a moment to find the exact words, "our city, lost heart Bay. There was originally a black spire in its center, which existed since the first sailor discovered it. Its history is longer than that of the city. But now, it''s gone. What was supposed to be the spire was just a piece of rubble. Something destroyed it in this tsunami. We''re curious about what''s going on here
Lothar and the webworm looked at each other, and they did have some very vague memories of themselves in a building between the damned lady and the witch''s cave, but they were not sure that it was what the captain called the black spire. It may be just a special decorated room in the witch''s cave, or an illusion caused by pure magic. Confusion, reflected in their faces. The captain nodded and did not ask any more. He came to ask them because they were picked up in the witch''s no navigation zone. Now it seems that they are only brought there by the waves. "In that case, I won''t disturb you much. In two days, the first houses will be built. You can get off the boat and rest in my rooms. It''s going to take a while for the city to be rebuilt, and our next sail will be after that. So take a break, boy. Besides, don''t let people see what''s on you. Sailors are superstitious. "
"Thank you for your warning, sir." Said Lothar.
"Don''t call me sir, you are not my crew. Besides, in this city, no one can use the word "you". Be careful until you pay off your debts. "
