Pearl Island.
A place that was rumored to be cursed.
This rumor circulated among the captains, but the sailors didn't know much about it. The navigators might know a little, since their duty was to lead the crew to avoid all the terrifying things on the sea.
Most of the sailors only heard that it was a forbidden place!
So when the lookout found out that the ship was heading towards Pearl Island, all the sailors fell into panic!
If it wasn't for Ma Wen's remaining influence, they would've quit a long time ago.
However, compared to the beginning, these sailors were already trembling.
…
"Sir Ma Wen!"
The original second mate, Robert, was successfully promoted to the first mate after he helped Ma Wen seize the Southerner.
Ma Wen promised to appoint him as the captain of the Southerner after the new port was established.
After all, he couldn't run around the sea for a long time.
This made Robert full of energy.
He was a fearless and ambitious character, and he had always scoffed at the legend of Pearl Island.
"They are a little afraid. They want to know where you are going. "
Robert explained, "I can temporarily calm their emotions, but it won't last long."
Marvin turned around, looked at the terrified crowd, and said in a loud voice, "
"Pearl Island is just an ordinary island. The rumors on the sea are not to be believed, and the Southerner won't stop at Pearl Island. We will only stop at the edge of Pearl Island for half a day, and then we will turn southwest. "
"There, there is an open beach suitable for landing. We can go around the safe Screaming Mountains, and that is where I want to establish the new port! "
"And when we reach that place, it won't be far from my White River Valley."
After listening to Ma Wen's words, the sailors calmed down a little.
In fact, now that they all participated in the murder of the original captain, they had nowhere to go. Whatever Ma Wen said was the truth, they couldn't refute it.
At the moment, the Southerner slowly approached Pearl Island and stopped about ten miles away from the coastline.
At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and under the effect of the sun, the thick fog at the edge of Pearl Island became a lot thinner.
Some of the sailors took the opportunity to rest, while others gazed uneasily at the fabled forbidden place.
Ma Wen ordered that apart from himself, no one was allowed to enter the island.
While he was on the island, Lola exercised his authority on his behalf.
He wasn't afraid that these guys would slip away while he was on the way to the island. Without Ma Wen, these people couldn't go anywhere.
Only the White River Valley could accommodate them.
Even the ambitious first mate Robert was the same.
Moreover, it wasn't as if Ma Wen didn't have a backup plan. He left the Storm Sprite on the ship.
If this group of people made any rash moves, the Storm Elves, who could fly freely and control the wind, could easily stop them.
…
"Let's go to the island during the day so that we don't have to deal with the fog demons."
As Ma Wen thought of this, a small boat was released.
A strong sailor would row the boat and send Ma Wen to the island.
Everyone watched the boat go further and further away. Although they didn't know what Ma Wen was doing, based on Ma Wen's reputation, they guessed that the master must be planning something important.
After all, the nickname "The Magical Ma Wen" had gradually spread from Riverbeach City to the East Coast.
The popularity of this nickname was basically similar to "The Double-Headed Snake Ma Wen".
They were still willing to believe that Ma Wen could lead them to a better life than before.
Since Captain George took over the South, his bad temper and harsh treatment made the lives of the sailors more difficult. Otherwise, Lola wouldn't have been able to incite these guys so easily.
Although Ma Wen also killed people like flies, at least he didn't lose his temper.
Most of the sailors actually thought that no matter what, he couldn't be worse than George.
Under Lola's comfort, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
The Pearl Island under the sun seemed quite beautiful and not as terrifying as the rumors said.
…
The waves were rough, and the boat struggled to approach the Pearl Island.
The strong sailor had been warned repeatedly by Ma Wen not to land on the Pearl Island.
"Everything on the Pearl Island is cursed."
"Look, the white beach is densely packed with pearls. If your greed gets the best of you and you take a pearl, everyone on the ship will die because of you. "
"Wait for me here, understand?"
The honest sailor nodded.
Although he also saw the pearls in the distance, the rumors about the forbidden place and Ma Wen's warning still made him hesitate.
No matter how good money was, life was more important.
But he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, why are you going to the island? Aren't you afraid? "
Ma Wen said calmly, "I'm going to the island to return something. I'll be fine as long as I don't take anything. "
The sailor nodded and didn't say anything.
After a while, Ma Wen ordered him to stop.
"Wait for me here."
He instructed.
Then he tidied up his clothes and jumped into the sea. It wasn't far from the beach of the Pearl Island. He could swim there.
…
On the Southern ship, Robert watched this scene from afar with a puzzled expression. "Miss Lola, what do you think Master Ma Wen wants to do?"
"I don't know." Lola said straightforwardly.
"No one can guess what he's thinking."
"But it's true that he can always create miracles. The White River Valley encountered a food crisis before. I came out because of this, but he solved it himself. "
"We have to believe in Master Ma Wen. Although he is a Pisces Constellation man, he is still very reliable. "
"Pisces Constellation?" Robert's face showed a hint of confusion.
"Sigh, don't you sailors learn about constellations?" Lola asked back, "How did you become the first mate?"
The navigator on the side silently wiped his sweat as he watched Ma Wen's figure finally arrive at the island full of pearls.
"That's a cursed beach. May the Silver God bless it …"
…
Ma Wen walked on the beach. Everything here was so nostalgic.
Memories emerged bit by bit. He was glad that he was so familiar with all of Fernand's dungeons.
The Pearl Island was indeed a very dangerous place, especially at night. If he was not careful, he would encounter the terrifying fog demon.
Not a single item here could be touched easily, let alone brought with it.
"Every pearl has the curse of aging. Touch it, and your life will be shortened by half a year. "
"Black pearl, the curse of instant death …"
"Blue star shell, the curse of mutation …"
He carefully avoided the horrible places in his memory and finally walked across the beach that was full of "landmines."
In front of him was a mountainous area without trees, only bare caves.
This place was relatively safer.
Marvin didn't come this time to completely open up the treasures on Pearl Island. Instead, he was here to scout out the ins and outs and get some benefits.
After all, he had not collected all six cursed pearls.
However, one of them was enough for him to exchange for some benefits on the Pearl Island.
The premise was that he had to know the trick.
Ma Wen looked around, found a suitable cave, and went in.
The cave was dark and damp. Walking deeper, he found a pool.
The pool was very turbid, but Ma Wen knew that there were similar pools in the caves on the island. Every pool led to the deepest secret of the Pearl Island.
He took out the cursed pearl and gently threw it into the water.
"It should be the same as in my memory …"
His eyes were fixed on the changes in the pearl.
Sure enough, under the effect of the magical pool water, the pearl began to slowly melt.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed. With a splash, the fish that was constantly swimming in the pearl jumped out of the pearl.
It happily swam in the pool for a while and then jumped up.
It stared at Marvin and actually spoke in the human language, "You've freed me from my cage, and I'll give you a present."
"The gift I give you won't be cursed, but remember, you can't touch anything else on this island."
The fish said so.
Ma Wen nodded.
The next second, the fish dove into the pool with a puff!
Ma Wen was a little excited!
In the depths of the pool was the treasure of the Pearl Island!
Over there, the most inferior items were all magic items!
It was even possible to touch legendary items!
This was the time to gamble on luck.
What this fish would choose to give to Ma Wen was completely random!
"I hope my luck is good and I can get the best of the best magic items …"
"It would be even better if it was legendary …"
Ma Wen sat by the pool and waited for a long time before a shadow swam up from the pool with difficulty.
It used its head to push that thing up!
"Take it! I can't hold on anymore! It's too heavy. "
The fish said with difficulty.
Ma Wen hurriedly took the wet thing away.
It was a crown-like thing.
Ma Wen looked at it carefully for a while and was immediately overjoyed!
He knew this thing!
The Sea Emperor's Crown — legendary item!
"Wait … eh? Why does it show that it's sealed? "The joy in Ma Wen's heart was slightly reduced.
In his previous life, he did not obtain the Sea Emperor's Crown.
However, it was said that with this thing, one would be able to dominate the sea!
"My luck is already pretty good. I should be satisfied to be able to draw a sealed legendary item. At least part of the effect should be able to be used. "
Ma Wen calmed down. He was just about to thank the fish, but in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared.
Ma Wen did not care. After all, there would be a time for them to meet again — when he gathered all six cursed pearls, he could open the true treasure of the Pearl Island!
At that time, Ma Wen would probably have cramps counting money.
After all, it was the wealth left behind by the sixth generation pirate king!
…
Two hours later, Ma Wen returned to the Southernmost and ordered the sail to set sail!
The target was the southeast bank of the White River Valley!
Ma Wen did not know the specific coordinates, but as long as it was parallel to the coastline and passed through the Screaming Mountains, it would be a good place to build a port in his mind.
In the captain's cabin, he held the Sea Emperor's Crown and began to test the effects of this sealed legendary item.
He gently touched the two ends of the Sea Emperor's Crown with both hands. Suddenly, an open sea appeared in his mind!
He saw the Southernmost and every creature in the sea!
"Eye of the Sea?" Ma Wen was very satisfied with the first function he tested.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a shadow in the nearby sea!
A powerful life force came from that shadow!
However, this life force wasn't active. Instead, it was depressed.
"What is it?"
Ma Wen curiously controlled the Eye of the Sea and looked at the shadow.
When he saw it, he was completely speechless.
It was a creature hugging a wooden plank and drifting!
He was now unconscious, but he still hugged the plank tightly. He did not know how long he had been drifting on the sea.
"I actually bumped into him at this time. I don't know if it's my luck or his luck."
Ma Wen found it funny. He immediately determined the direction through the Eye of the Sea and made the Southernmost temporarily change course and head for the shadow.
Half an hour later, a few sailors struggled to fish the guy out.
Pa!
The other party fell to the deck in a sorry state and spat out a few mouthfuls of water, still in a semi-conscious state.
Lola suddenly appeared and said in surprise:
"Eh? How could it be him? "
