Chapter 165 Mermaid Island
Chapter 165 Mermaid Island
Why is this the first test?
Because no human has found the legendary El Ques Island yet.
Not to mention encountering mermaids.
However, during bad weather, many fishing boats encountered sirens.
Cecilia looked at Joyce, who had been rejected countless times, and shook her head.
"I'll do it."
Joyce looked hesitant.
Cecilia is a princess, and when she travels away, everything should be arranged by him.
But now that we have arrived at Clifton Harbor, we couldn't even find a ship willing to go out to sea.
Cecilia thought to herself, of course I can’t find it.
Over the years, countless locals have tried to find the legendary mermaid kingdom and obtain its inexhaustible treasures.
Not only has the island of El Quezon not been found in these years, but anyone who has gone looking for it has never returned.
Joyce came up and said he wanted to go find Lyquille Island.
The locals instinctively refused.
These outsiders had no idea how powerful Narques Island was, and the locals could only think of saving as many as they could.
Even if they don't consider these outsiders, they themselves are unwilling to make this trip.
Even if the other party offers a sky-high price, you have to come back alive!
Cecilia randomly found the captain of a boat and drew a rough route for him on a piece of paper. "Can we go here?"
The captain looked at the route Cecilia drew and frowned, "Where did you get this map?"
Cecilia didn't answer but just asked, "Can I go?"
The captain called a few more sailors over, and they discussed the picture Cecilia had drawn for a long time. Finally, the captain returned the picture to Cecilia and said, "I'm sorry, miss. We have never been to the place on your picture. If you are willing to explain how you got this picture, maybe we can give it a try."
People are always full of fear of the unknown.
Especially this area of the Rittad Sea, about which they had heard countless legends since childhood.
Cecilia took the map and said, "This is an island my mother left for me. It was her dowry. Before she left, she told me there were relics for me on it. I want to bring those things back."
Cecilia said this in a loud voice.
Everyone on the boat could hear it.
Some sailors had already begun to get excited and were urging the captain to agree quickly.
Cecilia knew what these sailors were thinking.
It's nothing more than hearing that there is an inheritance and wanting to go there and kill people and rob.
But the captain frowned when he heard this, "Since your mother went to the island to store something before she died, it must be that some sailors have been to the island. Miss, you should look for those who have been there. This will be safer."
This captain is different from his sailors.
Originally, Cecilia was planning to buy a new boat.
She chose this ship just based on its appearance. It was a medium-sized ship in the area and looked neither new nor old.
The captain is middle-aged, so he must be an experienced sailor.
In theory, the captain and his sailors spend the most time together.
The difference shouldn't be that obvious.
There's probably something wrong with this boat.
Cecilia nodded calmly, "Thank you for your advice, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and really got off the boat.
After she left, the captain, who was just saying sweet words, suddenly turned pale. He called someone over and asked, "Did you write down the picture just now?"
The man nodded, "I've written it all down."
The captain's expression looked better as he watched Cecilia board another ship.
Damn bitch, she thought he said something considerate of her and she would be moved and stay.
In the end, he actually left.
It doesn't matter if you leave.
Anyway, the drawings are in hand, so whoever gets there first will own the inheritance.
The captain asked everyone to start making preparations so as to reach the destination before that damn woman.
Cecilia boarded the second ship, took out a piece of paper, drew a new route on it, and asked the captain if she could go.
This captain was obviously different from the previous one. After asking a few more questions, he gave a clear answer, "Yes, but it will cost extra."
Money is easy to talk about.
Cecilia agreed on a departure time with the captain, paid the deposit, and left with Joyce.
It was not until they returned to the hotel that Joyce asked, "Your Highness, why did you draw two drawings one after the other?"
Cecilia smiled, "You are quite observant."
She didn't bring Celine with her this time. When she left, Celine cried so hard that her eyes looked like rabbits.
“Both pictures are fake.”
Joyce was puzzled.
Cecilia explained, "Before and during the trip, you can tell the character of the people on a ship."
"Although the ship is theirs, they have never been to that place," Cecilia pointed to a corner of the previous route map and continued, "See this place?"
Joyce leaned over and saw clearly where Cecilia was pointing, then nodded slowly.
"After this point, the compass is completely useless. They can't turn back even if they want to."
"Of course, this is a way out for myself in case there are problems with the captain and the sailors. At least we won't die in the waters of Ritad."
Joyce understood instantly.
Some captains and sailors may look decent before they set out on their journey, but once they are out to sea, they may not be the same.
The ship belonged to the other party, and they were on someone else's ship, so naturally they were at the mercy of the other party.
No wonder Cecilia gave a fake route map.
After the compass became inoperable, no matter how Cecilia drew the route, she could not really continue to move forward in the direction of her drawing.
"Can……"
Cecilia patted Joyce's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Trust me."
The legend goes that to reach the Mermaid Kingdom one has to find the Island of Elquis, and it is indeed true.
But El Ques Island is not the so-called Mermaid Island, and there will be no so-called mermaids basking in the sun on it when the weather is clear.
According to what Abeluna called the Island of Elquis back then, it should be called the Siren Island.
Mermaids are a species that love to play pranks.
Whenever encountering bad weather, it always likes to turn into a mermaid to scare humans.
Similarly, as one of the few places leading to the mermaid kingdom for humans, the mermaids don't want humans to find it so easily.
Whenever humans approach, the mermaids will transform into sirens and wreak havoc on the island, confusing humans' judgment.
It was by accident that they discovered that the so-called Siren Island was actually the legendary Mermaid Island.
Humans found the legendary Elquis Island early on.
However, due to the tricks played by the mermaids, they regarded this place as a Siren Island and listed it as a forbidden area for going out to sea.
If it is not necessary, you must go around here.
According to the older generation of sailors, there are not only countless sirens on the legendary Siren Island, but even compasses will become useless if you approach that sea area.
The clouds and fog over the sea made it difficult to see the stars in the sky.
Once on the island, all that was left was to pray for the favor of the sun goddess.
