Chapter 255 The Old Captain's Diary
Chapter 255 The Old Captain's Diary
After leaving the ancient castle, Jiang Mingche held Ji Xiaoman's soft little hand and headed towards the outer city area.
With the token given to him by Li Liguang, Jiang Mingche would no longer be restricted by others when entering and leaving the central city and outer city.
Ever since Jiang Mingche forced her against the wall and kissed her yesterday, Ji Xiaoman has become accustomed to such intimate actions between the two of them, such as holding hands.
Ji Xiaoman could accept kisses and hugs, but she was not mentally prepared to go further.
Jiang Mingche had never forced Ji Xiaoman. Anyway, he had two stunning beauties, Haiyue and Angela, by his side, so there was no need for him to force Ji Xiaoman.
Moreover, as a veteran in the world of love, Jiang Mingche is fully confident that he can win over Ji Xiaoman within a week!
Turning her head to look at Jiang Mingche, Ji Xiaoman's thoughts had drifted away unconsciously... She had to admit that apart from being a little romantic, Jiang Mingche was still a good guy.
There is nothing wrong with him in almost every aspect. He never forces himself and respects his own wishes very much.
"Why, there's a flower on my face?"
Noticing that Ji Xiaoman's eyes were always on his face, Jiang Mingche raised his eyebrows and asked with some playfulness.
"Hehe, yes!"
"There is a gorgeous flower on your face!"
Ji Xiaoman giggled, hesitated for a while, then stood on tiptoe, blushing, and boldly kissed Jiang Mingche on the side of his face.
The delicate lips touched Jiang Mingche's cheek and then separated, and then Ji Xiaoman hurriedly left as if escaping.
"This little girl..."
Reaching out and touching the side of his face, Jiang Mingche's nose began to smell a pleasant sweet scent, which was the smell of Ji Xiaoman's delicate lips...
After arriving at the outer city area, Jiang Mingche took Ji Xiaoman to inquire along the way, and finally learned about Lesio's residence from passers-by.
At this time, Lesio's identity had been exposed by his good friend Kuangtie, and people also knew that it was this young man who had been guarding the outer city area.
"Jiang Mingche, does Captain Fire Eagle live here?"
Looking at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Ji Xiaoman frowned and spoke hesitantly.
According to the Master's narration, Captain Fire Eagle was a great hero respected by everyone in the outer city of Haidu. How could he live in such a dilapidated house?
Lesio's house is located on the seaside. She and Jiang Mingche went around in circles and took a lot of effort to find this place.
The wooden house in front of me looked dilapidated and shaky, and it looked like it would collapse at any time.
"No doubt..."
Jiang Mingche nodded, walked straight to the door and knocked.
He was not at all surprised that Lessio would live in such a shabby place.
After all, in the background story, this guy is a perfect good guy template.
Just for a string of candied haws from a little kid, Lesio could deal with those pirates for a long time.
Lesio is good at standing up for the weak. If any poor person comes to him for help, even if he is a stranger to the person, he will help without hesitation for the sake of justice in his heart.
"coming!"
Jiang Mingche didn't wait long.
Accompanied by a loud voice, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a young man with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing an eye mask and a cloak came into the sight of the two.
This person is none other than the patron saint of the outer city area of Haidu, the new Fire Eagle Captain Lesio.
"You are..."
Looking at the strange man and woman in front of him, Lesio was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.
He was sure that he did not know the two people in front of him.
"Are you Lecio?"
"Yes, I am..."
"That's right. The main reason we came here today is to ask you about the news about Captain Firehawk..."
"She is Ji Xiaoman, and Xiaoman's mother is a friend of Captain Fire Eagle..."
After confirming Lesio's identity, Jiang Mingche briefly explained his purpose to the other party.
"You're looking for the old captain?"
After a moment of silence, Lesio's expression became a little serious.
In this outer city area, everyone thought he was the former Captain Fire Hawk.
Only his good friend Kuang Tie knew that the so-called Captain Fire Eagle had been replaced by a new person a long time ago.
The strange man in front of him could actually tell him his biggest secret in just one sentence. He couldn't help but be alert.
Ji Xiaoman looks a bit like a Westerner, but this young man looks clearly Oriental.
What could a stranger possibly want from the old captain?
"Don't worry, we mean no harm..."
"Xiao Man's mother is named Estella, and she is a good friend of the old captain."
"We are looking for him to find out Xiaoman's background..."
Looking at Lesio's extremely vigilant look, Jiang Mingche explained again.
He already knew Xiaoman's identity, but he couldn't tell her directly.
If that happens, the 200 points will be completely lost.
Only by helping Ji Xiaoman successfully find the old Fire Eagle Captain and letting her discover her own life experience can he get these 200 points.
Although 200 points are nothing to him now, but a small mosquito is still meat, right?
With these 200 points, he can redeem an extra set of epic skins for his women!
After listening to Jiang Mingche's explanation, Lessio's mind suddenly dawned on him and he immediately let down his guard.
As for Estella, he had heard the old captain mention her before. She was a good friend of the old captain, but later she seemed to have gone to the East and never came back.
"In that case, please come in, both of you."
Lesio stepped half a body distance away and directly called Jiang Mingche and Ji Xiaoman to come in.
After arriving at the dilapidated wooden house, Lesio asked Jiang Mingche and Ji Xiaoman to sit on the wooden chairs, then made a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for each of them.
"My humble abode is simple, please excuse me for making fun of you two..."
After pouring a cup of hot tea for each of them, Lesio said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
Normally, he would feel fine if he lived here alone, but if he used it to entertain guests, it would be a bit ~unreasonable….
At first glance, his room was filled with all kinds of messy mechanical parts, making it a mess.
"This is a humble house, but I am virtuous."
"Mr. Lecio is a man of noble character. Xiaoman and I are certainly not as good as him..."
Taking a sip of hot tea, Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile.
It was the most ordinary loose tea, but Jiang Mingche didn't say much.
For tea lovers, it doesn’t matter what they drink; it’s their state of mind that matters.
He could drink the imperial fragrant tea, and he could also drink the coarse tea with light leaves.
Jiang Mingche still admires people like Lesio.
This guy has a sense of justice and loves to stand up for others.
If he only had two cents in his hand, Lesio would choose to buy a bun and give it to the beggars on the street.
That's why he lived in such poverty, and even found a house that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.
Jiang Mingche doesn't have such a noble character anyway.
"hehe.."
Lesio felt a little embarrassed by Jiang Mingche's compliments and could only keep smiling.
After some polite exchanges, Jiang Mingche went straight to the point and asked.
"Xiao Man and I came here this time just to ask you about the news about Captain Old Fire Eagle..."
"If Mr. Lessio knows his whereabouts, please let me know. I will not treat you unfairly..."
After listening to Jiang Mingche's words, Lesio began to ponder in his heart.
The two people in front of me are both dressed in gorgeous clothes. At first glance, they are dignitaries living in the midtown area or even the inner city. Naturally, they have to paint a rosy picture for themselves.
After a moment of silence, Lessio slowly spoke.
"I don't know much about the old captain..."
"Since the old captain gave me the cloak last time, he has disappeared..."
"But I have an old captain's diary that I got by chance. Maybe it contains something you want to know..."
Having said that, Lessio stood up from his seat, walked to the cabinet beside the bed, and began to rummage through the drawers looking for something.
After a while, a yellowed diary appeared in his hands.
After returning to his seat, Lesio directly handed the diary in his hand to Jiang Mingche and explained it to him.
"I accidentally got this old captain's diary when I went fishing at sea..."
"It's strange to say that after being soaked in the sea water for such a long time, the diary was not completely corroded..."
At this point, Lesio also began to marvel.
Jiang Mingche calmly opened the diary and began to read it.
The first few things were all unimportant, Jiang Mingche quickly turned the pages, and as he read, his pupils suddenly shrank!
"Logbook No. 06"
January 8
I didn't expect that the person I saved from the pirates was actually a noble. Nicolo from the World Family... If I hadn't heard Estella mention it before, I would have thrown him overboard.
January 8
Pollution, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a huge shadow lurking beneath the sunset sea..
"If the root cause of the pollution is not found and resolved, everyone in Haidu will become abnormal one day..." What he is looking for is different from those Arcanas who are fighting for power.
If there is such a crisis, the outer city closest to the sea will be the first to be affected. I have to think of a way...
"Logbook No. 07"
January 9
We were returning along the same route, but suddenly a strange-colored sea fog spread over the sea and we lost our way. I seemed to see a huge glowing object in the center of the fog, and it looked like a coral…
There was no sign of the coming of the storm, which was very unusual.. Relying on the power of the Fire Eagle, we managed to escape from the vortex..
When I opened my eyes again, the fog and glowing corals were gone. The bright sun shone on the deck, and the sea was as calm as usual, as if it was just an ordinary night.
January 9
It's not normal... Some crew members have recently developed hallucinations, and the mechanic almost smashed his head with a hammer... Fluorescent blue is faintly emerging in my blood vessels... I can't accept that the people of Haidu are heading towards such a future!
Regardless of whether this is the source of the pollution, it must be related to the crisis that Nicolo mentioned.
We have to come back fully prepared.
January 9
Even if they speeded up their return, they were still too late. During this time, the shameless gang was ready to make another move. Fortunately, the crew members' symptoms had basically recovered.
《Logbook·Serial No. 08》October 10
Judging from the information we have collected, we should have encountered the Sea of Fog. No ship that has actually reached there has ever returned. Only the drifting bottle in the belly of the fish left this name and the words "Storm", "Danger", "Hallucination", "Violent", and "Don't Come". It turns out that we are not the only ones who have this symptom.
I stare at the fluorescent blue on my arm that never fades...This morning on the pier, I saw a seabird with feathers of the same color.
The Firehawk has been refitted. My crew and I have never been afraid of danger. We must investigate and resolve this "pollution", even if there is no return.
The only thing that worries me is the outer city area.
If I really can't come back, and lose the outer city area of "Fire Eagle", can I really maintain this peace?
The weather was even worse than last time... Heavy rains lasted for three days and three nights, hurricanes... Waterspouts... The mast was almost broken, but after emergency repairs, it was temporarily restored to function...
