Chapter 289 Santiago

Misty Sea.

The search and rescue ship headed for Rogri Island is crusing steadily on this sea space.

Tu Fu, who was mendacity on the deck chair, placed on his sun shades and basked within the uncommon solar. Despite the fact that the situations on the ship had been a bit harsh, it was significantly better than the setting on the remoted island. At the very least somebody talked with him to alleviate boredom.

“Hey, this isn’t Captain Jack. Should not you be driving on the again of a sea turtle and wandering within the huge sea? Or chasing pirates for dozens of kilometers at sea and hacking folks to dying.”

As quickly as I heard the mocking tone, I knew that Sophie hadn’t run away.

As soon as the brand new difficulty of “Sea Observer” was launched, the recognition of this identify within the sea elevated sharply.

The reason being that Sophie efficiently printed ads in main newspapers, and Tu Fu wrote his legendary expertise in his autobiography. Such an impact can also be a matter after all.

Tu Fu glared at her, then set free a chuckle:

“I ought to have included you in it way back. A wealthy daughter loves Captain Jack’s noble character and charming attraction, so she didn’t hesitate to half together with her household… woo…”

He nonetheless needed to proceed to good this **** story, however Miss Winster gagged his mouth and gritted his enamel to warn:

“When you dare to speak nonsense within the newspaper once more, I’ll make you and your sea turtle a lifetime companion.”

“Sure, Miss DeWitt Bukett.”

Tu Fu smiled meanly, however ended up with the cup she introduced up.

When Sophie got here out of the cabin, she carried half a bottle of rum in her hand. She poured just a few glasses of wine into the glasses. The recent style added some taste to the itinerary.

There’s solely the final distance left to Rogri Island, and close by ships ceaselessly seem at sea.

There’s at all times quite a lot of items coming and going between the north and south continents. Handicrafts, clothes, weapons and ammunition within the north continent, tea trade and anesthetics within the south continent. I don’t understand how many individuals journey between the 2 seas day by day.

Probably the most conspicuous one is nothing greater than a ferry that doesn’t fly the flag of any nation.

A lot of guards are patrolling the deck, as if they’re escorting extraordinarily vital cargo. There are at all times every kind of bizarre calls from the center layer, crying, roaring, and calling for assist.

Unmarked boats are particularly quite a few on this space, they usually type a row of distinctive surroundings in entrance of many business and passenger ferries.

Tu Fu mendacity on the armchair turned his head and occurred to see such an odd scene,

requested involuntarily: “What sort of ship is that?”

“A slave ship for transporting slaves.”

Sophie answered honestly, however a hint of concern flashed in her eyes, “It is higher to steer clear of them, all international locations within the northern continent are engaged within the slave commerce, and the colonial military personally controls the switch.

That is additionally the primary time I’ve seen so many slave ships, my God, what number of slaves are there. “

“However why are there so many slave ships right here?” Tu Fu cheered up.

Simply as the 2 had been discussing this difficulty, the voice of Captain Dak Bryson sounded,

“That is as a result of the entrance is San Diego, which is near the southern continent, and nearly all of the slave ships that come and go go by right here.

Whether or not it’s to promote slaves or transport them to the North Continent, it’s inevitable to carry out this process right here. That is additionally the one island the place the slave commerce within the South Continent is authorized, so it will likely be so vigorous. “

“Authorized slave commerce?” Tu Fu repeated consciously.

He considered one factor in useless. Within the dialog with Avril earlier than, she vaguely talked about a spot.

Individuals will ship all of the slaves of the clever race to an island, and after a hellish transformation, the surviving slaves can be despatched to the northern continent.

The place that each one clever races are afraid of might be this slave island known as Santiago.

“Then who’s answerable for this island?”

Educated Captain Dak sees that Tu Fu is , and patiently popularizes science:

“San Diego doesn’t belong to a sure nation, however is managed by a gaggle of individuals, a gaggle of nobles who got here right here earlier.

This island is alleged to be the primary island that folks from the northern mainland arrived within the southern mainland on a steam-powered ship 100 years in the past.

After arriving right here, folks realized that along with the continent we dwell in, there may be one other continent within the south that’s wealthy in merchandise, local weather issues, and huge. It’s actually a exceptional factor to say. “

Tu Fu fell silent after listening to this.

From their perspective, the adventurers who first arrived within the Southern Continent had been heroes, nice males, and celebrities who made historical past.

So far as the natives of the Southern Continent are involved, they’re only a group of shameful invaders who step on their doorstep.

The invaders not solely plundered their land, but in addition carried out prison transactions on this land, whether or not it was anesthesia or slave commerce, every part was coated with blood.

Captain Duck seemed on the island in entrance of him and could not assist sighing: “Occasions have modified, and San Diego has now change into a land collectively taken over by numerous international locations.

Moreover, the frictions and disputes of varied international locations within the southern continent are all resolved on this impartial place, and the island house owners primarily ship their efforts to the nobles or wealthy folks of their very own international locations of their every day life. “

Tu Fu understood and nodded, “In different phrases, San Diego belongs to the Northern Continent Financial and Commerce Group.”

“You’ll be able to perceive it this fashion. Companies just like the slave commerce, particularly involving clever races, nobody dares to do it privately with out an official unified order.”

Captain Dak Bryson expressed remorse,

“The conflicts among the many numerous races are intently associated to the angle of the clever race within the North Continent, but when such a deformed trade exists for a day, there can be no actual peace.”

Miss Winster seemed a little bit unhappy, “Will such a system be abolished?”

“It’s totally tough, at the least in current many years it has by no means been attainable.”

“Sir, can we comply with up and see if we are able to go to in a personal capability.” After listening to his introduction, Tu Fu all of the sudden turned concerned with it.

“No, completely not attainable.”

Captain Duck gave the reply with out even occupied with it, “The true house owners of San Diego are the descendants of the primary batch of officers and nobles who arrived right here, and their standing within the southern continent is sort of like that of emperors.

What sort of mood do folks like this have? I assume Mr. Sparrow, it’s best to know higher than me. They’ll by no means enable folks of low standing to enter the island at will, not to mention bizarre ships, in any other case it will likely be considered a provocation.

Even when we simply parked the ship on the ship, we’d be attacked by the military instantly. “

Tu Fu’s expression instantly modified splendidly,

“Oh, is it? Since that is the case, there isn’t a must pressure it. Let’s simply go round San Diego and check out the top workplace from a distance.”

“That is no downside.” Dak Bryson was relieved when he noticed that Tu Fu had lastly suppressed that harmful thought.

After talking, a number of folks on the deck noticed the island of Santiago, which is near the southern mainland.

Though it isn’t as grand and affluent as Narnia, this metropolis has a novel momentum. Fortified and detached buildings are distributed on all sides, and the best level is a citadel composed of dozens of spiers.

“close to.”

Captain Duck ordered the helmsman to remain near the sting of the island as he steered the ship.

Tu Fu instantly noticed a steady layer of masonry fortresses on the highlands of the island. This mission was so massive that it even surrounded the whole metropolis of the island.

The sense of déjà vu of the town throughout the partitions.

There are guards in every single place, even when they’re simply passing by, there are guards trying on the ship vigilantly, as if they are going to straight shoot and destroy the unknown ship as quickly as they make a transfer.

Whether it is true as Captain Duck stated, Santiago’s sense of superiority is above everybody else, even when he by chance kills an bizarre individual by mistake, he won’t be punished by legislation.

“Whoosh.”

Tu Fu merely jumped up and stepped on the mast, and opened Hawkeye to look straight.

From a distance, you’ll be able to see the primary metropolis of Santiago. The principle constructing is an impressive silver citadel, and the flags of the northern continent international locations are held on the towering spires.

And there are numerous folks or clever races strolling out and in beneath. There are chilly chains on their palms and ft, indicating their standing as slaves.

Tu Fu initially needed to make use of his teleportation capability to go in and have a look, however the towering citadel made him really feel an inexplicable hazard.

This strategically vital place the place numerous races are imprisoned, there should be high-sequence transcendents sitting in it,

Watch out for clever race reprisals.

“What’s that?” There was a darkish tower standing subsequent to the citadel, and the hermetic setting with out even a single window made the general look very miserable.

Tufu opened his hunter senses once more, solely to note the oppressive and painful grey air mass all around the citadel,

Particularly in that tall tower, the condensed grey air mass was so thick that it was unimaginable to see something clearly.

Most likely the place the place clever races are imprisoned and domesticated.

I don’t know what sort of painful issues occurred there,

The grey air plenty of despair and grief are about to meet up with the layers of grey fog exterior the “Santa Maria”.
