It was almost night time, so Li Huailin and Ceci were on the boat. Li Huailin of San Gaius asked her to go back first, since she would always be there when called. Moreover, she would glow like a light bulb at night, which was quite scary.
The process of borrowing a boat was very smooth, and Ceci actually helped a little. Originally, when Li Huailin heard about renting a boat, he thought he would have to pay. However, when Ceci saw that it was the castellan, she was so scared that she immediately knelt down, and the boat was successfully rented.
Li Huailin didn't expect this little girl to be so fierce. She could scare people so far away from the city. If she really went back and banned fishing, he probably wouldn't be able to borrow a boat.
"How is it? I've helped, right? "Ceci had been showing off her" achievements "ever since she boarded the boat, looking very proud.
"If you think you can help, row the boat quickly." The boat Li Huailin borrowed was really a fishing boat. It was the most primitive kind of wooden boat. It was considered a fishing boat with a net on it, and it had to be rowed by hand in the sea. It couldn't go too far, or it would capsize in a single wave. Fortunately, the island wasn't very far, and they could still reach it.
After boarding the boat, Li Huailin rowed the boat alone. Ceci was very happy to enjoy the scenery, as if she had never seen the sea before.
"How can you ask a lady to row the boat? It's your honor to row the castellan," Ceci said with her hands on her hips.
"Didn't I tell you that adventurers don't like to row the boat?" Li Huailin said.
"Eh? Is that so? "Ceci was immediately stunned.
"Yes, I really don't like it," Li Huailin said.
"What will happen if you row the boat?" Ceci asked.
"You'll go berserk when you're in a bad mood, killing people and beating people up. Don't you think it's scary?" Li Huailin said.
"Oh, I see. Row the boat, then." "Adventurers don't like to row boats. If they row a boat, they'll be in a bad mood and start beating people up."
"Hey, aren't you going to consider your own situation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Me? Why? "Ceci asked curiously.
"…" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Alright, I'll take it that I'm wasting my energy to scare you … I'll row …"
The other party was a child and a woman. Li Huailin really couldn't do it, so he could only accept his fate and row the boat.
At first, Li Huailin thought that rowing the boat was quite fast, but he didn't expect that it was actually very deceptive. Because the waves on the beach were moving towards the coast, it was very miserable for the boat to go out. Basically, it would be washed back every two times. It was just like that. At this time, Li Huailin suddenly felt that it was great that he didn't choose to swim over. He didn't know how long he would have to swim if he had to swim against the waves.
Just as Weeden said, he kept rowing towards the south. After about ten minutes, Li Huailin saw a small island. From the outside, it looked like a pretty big island. However, other than a mountain and green plants on the island, Li Huailin couldn't see anything else useful.
But after rowing a little closer, Li Huailin saw something else. It was actually a dock. Although it looked very old and was just made of a few pieces of wood, it was still a dock. There were a few broken boats tied to it. These boats were even more broken than the one Li Huailin was rowing on. They were practically bent wooden planks. Calling them boats was really an insult to the word.
"Huailin, Huailin, look, another boat is coming towards us," Ceci suddenly shouted.
"…"
"What's wrong with you?" Ceci asked when he saw that Li Huailin didn't respond.
"Why do you call me Huailin too? I'm not used to it," Li Huailin said.
"Why? Doesn't Sister Garland call you Huailin too? "Ceci asked.
"You already call Saint Gaius Sister Garland. Why don't you call me Brother Huailin?" Li Huailin asked.
"Brother?" Ceci was stunned. "Aren't you an uncle?"
"I …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Fine … You can call me Huailin …"
"Then why are you struggling for so long?" Ceci said, very dissatisfied. "Look, a boat is coming towards us."
"Yeah." Li Huailin looked up. There really was a boat coming towards them. Of course, it was the kind of small, broken boat at the dock. There was a person rowing on the boat. Li Huailin couldn't see the name of the person from afar, but it looked like a male NPC. The NPC's clothes were unusually revealing. His upper body was naked, and his lower body was blocked by the boat. His skin was a little dark, so Li Huailin couldn't see his face clearly. However, he could see some primitive tools on the boat, such as a net, bow, and spear.
"Let's go up and have a look." Li Huailin was too lazy to row, so he stopped and waited for the other party.
The other party's boat wasn't fast, about the same speed as Li Huailin. After waiting for a while, the other boat slowly approached them. Only then did Li Huailin see the other party's face. It was a young NPC who looked less than 30 years old. Although he wasn't a black person, he was tanned. He looked passable. He only wore a pair of tattered shorts and carried a broken bow on his back. The NPC's name was Didite.
"The two people in front, where did you come from?" When the boat was a certain distance away, Didite stopped and shouted at Li Huailin, "If you're lost, head north to the fishing port."
"We came to this island on purpose," Li Huailin replied. "I have something to do here."
While Li Huailin spoke, Ceci, who was beside him, kept recording in his notebook.
"Sorry, this island doesn't welcome outsiders," Didite said. "This is the Devil's Island. Landing here will bring you misfortune. Hurry up and go back." "Are you kidding me?
"Are you kidding me? Then why are you staying here?" Li Huailin said casually. "Alright, I really have something to do. By the way, you're a native of this island, right? I have something to talk to you about."
"Oh?" Didite was slightly stunned. "Why are you looking for us?"
"Is there a person named Delise on your side? Someone asked me to deliver a letter to him," Li Huailin replied.
"Huh?" Didite was slightly stunned. Of course, there was a person named Delise in the village, but ordinary outsiders did not know about this. Could it be that there was really a letter? "Who sent it to Delise?"
"Weeden," Li Huailin replied.
"Oh? It's him? You're his friend? " Didite seemed to know Weeden. When he heard Weeden's name, his tone suddenly became a little better.
"Yes, yes." Li Huailin nodded.
"Okay, come with me. I'll take you to Delise." When Didite heard Weeden's name, he seemed to immediately let down his guard. He pointed to the dock at Li Huailin, motioning for Li Huailin to row over.
Li Huailin rowed for a long time before the boat reached the dock. Didite, who was slightly more experienced, was already waiting for Li Huailin at the dock. When he saw Li Huailin's boat coming over, he went over to help pull it, and then tied the boat to the dock with a rope.
"Sorry, because people outside often say that we are cursed, the people on the island do not like outsiders," Didite explained a little. "There is no curse on this island. We have lived here for generations, and I have never heard of anyone being cursed. It's just a story made up by people outside."
"Yeah," Li Huailin nodded. "I'm Big Heart Ruolin. Nice to meet you."
"Huh?" Ceci, who was next to him, asked curiously, "Aren't you Huailin?"
"Short name, okay?" Li Huailin was too lazy to explain the meaning of his name to the little girl.
"Well, do you adventurers like to call yourself by short name?" Ceci asked again.
"…" Li Huailin was speechless. "Yes, if you want to remember it, just remember it."
"Oh, I see." Ceci immediately took out her notebook and began to write.
"This is …" Didite, who was next to him, asked.
"She's just here to help. Don't worry about her," Li Huailin said.
"I am the governor of Muryek City, Ceci Elentis Olibera. You can call me Lord Governor, or Lord Ceci," Ceci immediately said as if he was reciting from a book.
"Huh? Governor of Muryek City? "Didite said in surprise.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. He was too lazy to say anything.
"You are the genius governor, the great author Ceci who has already published two books at the age of 12?" Didite said in surprise.
"Nani?" Li Huailin could not believe his ears. "What did you say? She has already published two books? Really? "
"Yes …" Ceci nodded proudly. "Well, I didn't expect that even though this place looks remote, you have heard of my name … Not bad, not bad …"
"Why are you so arrogant? Does your family know that you are so arrogant outside? "Li Huailin suddenly shivered." Huh? Wait … does this mean that the book you are writing … will be published in the end? "
"Of course, why else would I write it?" Ceci said matter-of-factly.
"Hiss …" Li Huailin sucked in a breath of cold air. He originally thought that this little girl was just writing this book for fun, but he didn't expect that she was really an author. Wouldn't that mean that all the deceptive things that she wrote just now would eventually be published? Thinking that he would become the model adventurer that everyone would know in the future, Li Huailin felt that he had done something incredible … and it was an extremely deceptive thing …
"Where is my moral integrity … Am I really going to sell it to San Gaius …" Li Huailin held his forehead.
"I'm a loyal reader of yours. I still have some of your books at home. Can I have your autograph later?" Didite was still communicating with Ceci.
"Yes, okay." Ceci nodded proudly.
"Call me when you publish a new book. I will definitely buy it," Didite said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, I will sign the autograph later. Now hurry up and leave." As Li Huailin urged the two of them to hurry up, he told himself that he had to restrain himself a little and not be too casual.
