Chapter 35 Bad news from the letter (please collect and recommend)
At O'Hara Pier, an off-white single-person boat docked slowly.
Compared with when it left, there were some black traces of gunpowder smoke on the hull.
A one-man boat like this that sails alone on the sea without any obvious markings has always been the favorite target of pirates for teasing and even attacking and robbing.
When he went to the Kingdom of Flowers, the feeling was not so obvious. When he returned, Adrian encountered a total of three pirate attacks, and he had already begun to feel the impact that Roger, the Pirate King, would have on the world after he ascended to the top.
The Great Pirate Era did not officially begin until after Roger's execution, but as early as this time, there were already initial signs.
The several pirate groups that attacked Adrian were all very unscrupulous, and the pirate flags were also quite unknown. None of the captains offered a bounty of more than 5 million beli.
Adrian simply responded to others with his own methods and carried out long-range bombing on the pirates.
With a wave of mini-ghosts and Nova Fire, all the pirate ships that attacked him were sunk into the sea. The information on the panel indicated that most of the pirates were only over LV20, barely filling up the empty experience tank with some experience points.
Adrian spent a total of eight days returning to O'Hara from the Kingdom of Flowers, more time than when he left, just to chart the sea areas he passed.
Returning to O'Hara this time, Adrian also planned to borrow a chart of the entire Western Sea from the Tree of Omniscient Library.
After all, he was not a native resident of the West Sea, and he had little knowledge of many situations in the West Sea. O'Hara's Tree of Omniscient Library could just help him make up for the lack of basic information.
Tree of Omniscient Library, lobby on the first floor.
Dr. Cloba, still dressed in a clover, stopped Adrian who was about to go to the geographical information area to read a book.
"Excuse me, what's the matter? Dr. Cloba?" Adrian asked slightly confused.
Could it be that this old doctor was planning to preach to him again?
"Where have you been for the past half month? Little Robin ran to the library to look for you again and again, but he didn't even see you." Dr. Kloba complained at first, and then returned from He took out a brown paper envelope from his pocket.
What does little Robin want with me?
But if Dr. Kloba didn't say anything, it wouldn't be an important thing to think about.
Adrian couldn't stop thinking. He took the envelope in his hand and asked, "What is this letter?"
Dr. Kloba explained: "On the sixth day after you left O'Hara, a small boat belonging to the 'Clear Water Chamber of Commerce' came to the island. Someone entrusted them to send you a letter, but because they could not find you You can only leave your letters here temporarily.”
Clearwater Chamber of Commerce?
Adrian searched his memory for a moment and quickly found the answer.
Isn't this the Perona family's fleet?
Remembering that after obtaining the ghost fruit from Captain Crevat, Adrian also warned Mrs. Penelope that if something bad happened to her, she could send someone to O'Hara for help.
Did something really happen?
Adrian took the letter, apologized to Dr. Cloba, then found a place where no one was, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the letter at a glance.
Sure enough!
This is a letter of help from Lady Penelope!
Captain Crevat has said before that the ownership of the ghost fruit belongs to the Capone gang.
But when the lives of everyone on the ship were threatened, Captain Crevat broke the rules and offered Adrian's help in exchange for ghost fruit.
Apart from the loss of the ghost fruit and the slightly frightened passengers on the ship, the Clearwater had no other losses. It even used the easily defeated pirates to obtain a sum of money from the nearby naval base, which was not small for ordinary people. bounty.
However, the Capone gang's stuff isn't that easy to get!
Lady Penelope wrote to explain this matter.
The letter mentioned that the Capone gang had taken Captain Crevat away and there had been no news for several days. He was afraid that something had happened to him.
Mrs. Penelope had no choice but to turn to Adrian, who had made a promise before, for help.
Adrian thought about it for a moment: "The letter from the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce was delivered six days after I left O'Hara, and nearly twenty days have passed as of today... It is difficult to move on the sea and transmit messages, and it is also difficult to move on the sea. In other words, a full month may have passed since the day Lady Penelope wrote the letter! ”
Adrian frowned slightly. Such a long time had passed and he didn't know what bad things would happen again.
The only good news so far is that the Capone gang only took away Captain Crevat and left Penelope and her daughter behind, but this was already information from a month ago!
Dr. Kloba appeared out of nowhere and asked: "Boy Adrian, you don't look well. Did something happen to you?"
"It's nothing, Dr. Cloba, I can handle it myself." Adrian shook his head slightly. He was not prepared to say anything more to this old man with a doctorate who concentrated on studying academics.
As if remembering something, Adrian suddenly asked again: "By the way, doctor, do you know the specific address of Otphi Island?"
"Otephi Island?" Dr. Cloba's expression changed and his tone became urgent, "There was a conflict between you and the Capone gang?"
As one of the five most famous gangs in the West Sea underground society, the Capone gang is a behemoth that is completely out of reach for ordinary people.
Even O'Hara, who claims to be aloof from the world, has heard of the Capone gang.
Dr. Kloba thought about it and quickly understood: "Is that letter... from the Qingshui Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, I have a friend from the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce," Adrian briefly explained. "For some reason, he had a conflict with the Capone gang."
"The Capone gang, that's going to be quite troublesome..." Dr. Kloba stroked his beard, looking worried, "Boy Adrian, can you really solve it by yourself?"
Adrian smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I don't think you're someone who likes to talk big. If you say one person can solve it, it should be fine." Dr. Cloba was moved by Adrian's tone and said, "Then come with me! Otto The Philippine Island is the base camp of the Capone gang. Even we, O'Hara, have heard of the famous name "The Island of Gangsters""
Dr. Kloba took Adrian to the geographical information area, pulled out a volume of nautical charts from the bookshelf, and handed it to Adrian.
"It records the most convenient route from O'Hara Island to Otterfield Island. As long as there are no mistakes in the direction, at the speed of a sailboat, you can reach Otterfield Island in two days." Dr. Kloba said earnestly, "Be safe, Adrian boy."
Adrian perked up and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your help."
After simply packing up his belongings, Adrian quickly left the Tree of Omniscient Library. He was not going to sail there by boat, as that would be too time-consuming and energy-consuming. He was going to fly directly to Otephi Island this time! (End of chapter)
