After sailing for more than 30 days, Lu Qingshan left his cabin for the first time.
It was rare for him to have some free time. Lu Qingshan thought of the mysterious Western Rat King.
He was not in his cabin early in the morning. Most likely, he went to find Hidden Sword again. He wanted to see what it was doing recently.
Lu Qingshan stopped a passing sailor and asked, "Is there a 15 or 16-year-old girl on the ship?"
"Are you talking about Miss Hidden?" The sailor blurted out without thinking. Obviously, Hidden Sword had left a deep impression on him.
"Do you know where she came from?"
The sailor shook his head. "I only know that she is like you. She spent a lot of money to take a ship to the Poseidon Islands."
Lu Qingshan did not get anything out of the sailor, but it was normal. He asked for the location of Hidden Sword's cabin, thanked the sailor, and went to look for it.
"… Thunder is faint, fog is hazy. The sun is in the sky … "Lu Qingshan heard the Western Rat King mumbling as soon as he reached the cabin door.
？？？
Lu Qingshan knocked on the door.
"Come in," Hidden Sword said in a crisp voice.
Lu Qingshan pushed open the cabin door and saw a very strange scene.
The Western Rat King was holding a book that was bigger than its body in its paws. It looked like a nerdy scholar, shaking its head as it read something.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the book and saw the words "The Rhyme of the Old Man in the Bamboo Hat" written on the cover.
"What are you doing …" Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead. He could not understand the Western Rat King's behavior.
"The Western Rat King likes to read, but it doesn't know human language. Since it is so eager to learn, I taught it," Hidden Sword explained to the Western Rat King. Hidden Sword explained on behalf of the Western Rat King. It was in high spirits, and its tone was cheerful. "This book was used by my father when he was teaching me how to read. I brought it out with me. I have to say, it's learning pretty fast. It's only been a short while, and it's already grasped the rhythm and rhythm."
After being praised by Hidden Sword, the Western Rat King immediately put down the book in its hand. It put its hands on its waist and said proudly, "Human language is nothing to me."
Lu Qingshan could guess why the Western Rat King suddenly became so eager to learn, but he did not say anything. He said to the Western Rat King, "Okay, keep learning."
Lu Qingshan then said to Hidden Sword, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Hidden Sword waved his hand magnanimously at Lu Qingshan, indicating that it was fine. He then turned to look at the West Rat King, who was still shaking his head.
She found it interesting!
.....
Three days later, at noon, when the sun was at its fiercest, the huge silhouette of the Dragon Island appeared in everyone's sight.
The Flood Dragon Island was the main island of the Sea God Archipelago. Its area was equivalent to a medium-sized prefecture in the Great Xia. The outline of the island looked like a lofty and winding mountain ridge. It was extremely long, and the middle and head of the island were quite wide. However, it became narrower and narrower toward the east, especially toward the end of the island, where it was especially cramped.
It was a very peaceful journey. They did not encounter any monsters, pirates, or storms.
If he really wanted to count, the only thing that was worth mentioning was that he met a girl with an extraordinary background, Hidden Sword. Under her guidance, he successfully refined the Water Elemental Sword Armor.
However, this was normal. After all, the fleet had been sailing on this route for more than ten years without any accidents. There was no reason for Lu Qingshan to encounter any problems as soon as he boarded the ship.
The Dragon Island seemed to be right in front of them, but it took the fleet nearly two hours to reach the wide and straight waterway of the Dragon Island.
After traveling for another two or three miles, the one-kilometer-long pier of the Dragon Island came into view.
After the fleet docked at the pier, three Qi Refinement cultivators wearing green robes with dragon claw prints walked over.
The captain of the fleet immediately greeted them with a face full of smiles. He said something to the three cultivators, and the three cultivators glanced back and forth at the fleet from time to time.
After muttering for a long time, the captain stuffed a small bag of silver into the three cultivators' hands, and the three cultivators finally left.
This was probably the tariff in ancient times.
Lu Qingshan pondered in his heart.
However, the influence of the Da Xia Kingdom did not extend to the Southern Sea Islands. The Dragon Island was not under the jurisdiction of the Da Xia Kingdom. Then, who was responsible for collecting the tariff?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan asked a dark-skinned short and stout crew member standing next to him.
"On the Dragon Island, apart from the Sea Divinity Sect, who else has the strength to occupy the gold mine of Dragon Harbor?" The short and stout crew member glanced at the pier and confirmed that the three cultivators were far away. Then, he spat and said with disdain, "Those bastards betray their fellow countrymen to please the demon beasts. Among the Southern Sea Islands, they collect the highest tariff. I don't know why the captain is so determined to do business here."
"Betray their fellow countrymen?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
The short and stout crew member quickly made a shushing gesture to Lu Qingshan. "I only dare to say a few words here. Young Master, you must remember that you cannot speak carelessly on the island.
The Sea Divinity Sect on the Dragon Island controls the sky with one hand. If someone with ulterior motives heard this, I'm afraid you would lose a layer of skin. If your luck is bad, you might not even be able to keep your life! "
Seeing the short and stout crew member's attitude, Lu Qingshan was tactful and did not pursue the matter.
In any case, as long as he was on the island, he would learn of this sooner or later.
After the captain took care of the relationship, everyone began to go ashore and began to load and unload the goods.
Lu Qingshan slowly walked away from the merchant ship. At the same time, he was calculating something in his mind.
If he wanted the Three-foot Edge, he had to find the Mo Clan's head who had concealed his identity.
This was a very simple cause and effect relationship.
Lu Qingshan did not lie to the Western Rat King. He really did not know where the Mo Clan's head was. Before he arrived at Blue Wave City, he did not even know that the Heaven-ranked sword was called the Three-foot Edge.
However, it was not entirely true that he was looking for a needle in a haystack.
He really did have a piece of information related to the Mo Clan's head.
It was an interesting record that he had skimmed through when he checked the update information after the end of the game's closed beta.
In the third month of the first year of Immortal Martial, on Dragon Island in the Southern Sea, the Mo Clan's head, who should have died on Dragon Spring Island 20 years ago, appeared again. He held the Heaven-ranked sword and fought against the Flood Dragon Monster King. He died on the island. The Heaven-ranked sword disappeared along with the Mo Clan's head.
Immortal Martial became Divine Prime, so Lu Qingshan could not be sure whether the Mo Clan's head would appear on Dragon Island as scheduled in the third month of the first year of Divine Prime.
However, there was a high probability that he would appear. Perhaps there would be some changes in the timing, such as a few days earlier or later?
However, his idea was not to wait for the Mo Clan's head to appear.
This was because when he appeared, it would be an earth-shattering battle. Under such circumstances, the possibility of obtaining the Three-foot Edge was not high.
His plan was to find the Mo Clan's head in seclusion before the battle with the Flood Dragon Monster King.
Of course, even if he found the Mo Clan's head, it would be extremely difficult to obtain the Three-foot Edge.
However, it was definitely more practical than waiting for the Mo Clan's head to appear.
Moreover, in Lu Qingshan's opinion, how to obtain the Three-foot Edge from the Mo Clan's head was something to consider after finding the Mo Clan's head.
…
Lu Qingshan had checked the sea map. The Sea God's Islands were the closest islands to Dragon Spring Island, where the Mo Clan was located.
After the Dragon Spring Island was destroyed, the Mo Clan's head, who was lucky enough to escape, would definitely rest on the Sea God's Islands first.
Moreover, everyone had plans for their homeland. Living in seclusion on the Sea God's Islands closest to Dragon Spring Island was a high probability event for the Mo Clan's head.
Moreover, after three months, the Mo Clan's head would appear on Dragon Island to fight against the Flood Dragon Monster King.
Combining these two points, the probability of the Mo Clan's head being on the Sea God's Islands was not 100%, but it was at least 70% to 80%.
The next step was to think of a way to find the Mo Clan's head in the Sea God's Islands.
