Chapter 87: Chapter 71 Sea Flower Island
He was quite curious about how she had found the clues to the Flower Witch.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Perlu started to recount her experiences over the past three days.
Based on the information from the old newsstand owner and Chen Qi, the Flower Witch had flowers growing from her head, which meant that she must find a way to hide her appearance.
But in a place as extraordinary as Moonstone City, it wasn\'t uncommon to see people concealing their looks.
Walking down the street, at least one in every ten people was hiding their appearance.
There were also quite a few of the same stature as the Flower Witch.
So, she began to lift their cloaks and masks under the guise of conducting interviews.
All sorts of characters with concealed faces: faceless men, master thieves of hearts, ghost brides, soul-stealing clowns, Piggy Heroes...
Anyone hiding their face.
If she saw one, she\'d unveil one!
Finally, thanks to her relentless efforts, in front of a herbal medicine shop, a person in a cloak took to their heels the moment they saw her.
"That actually worked..."
Chen Qi\'s eyes widened.
He never imagined that Perlu\'s method of finding the Flower Witch was the legendary exhaustive approach!
What\'s crucial, this brute-force method actually led her to success.
At this point, Perlu lowered her head and furrowed her brows,
"Unfortunately, I still let her get away!
Not only that, but because I exposed a bunch of masked people\'s true appearances, my damned boss called me in for a talk, saying that I disturbed the peace of the commercial street and violated many people\'s portrait rights.
This also caused me to miss the best opportunity to pursue her."
"Hmm... it\'s already pretty good that you weren\'t beaten up for unveiling people like that."
Chen Qi couldn\'t help but comment.
"I had no choice; I\'m not as lucky as you, bumping into the Flower Witch in a crack."
Perlu frowned,
"However, it\'s a good thing that after I left the watchhouse... no, after having a friendly conversation with the police, thanks to the information from my informant, a thin female in a cloak boarded a flower sea ferry boat and headed for an island near the edge of the coast.
This person is very likely to be the Flower Witch.
I\'m planning to set out tonight to find her and give the Flower Witch a little surprise!"
"..."
Chen Qi was somewhat speechless.
After all the trouble, it was still the newspaper\'s vast network of information that prevailed!
He had to admit, the news agency of Moonstone City was indeed quite a powerful organization.
Curious, Chen Qi asked:
"Which island is it?"
Perlu paused in her eating, her eyes showing a hint of surprise:
"You... want to find the Flower Witch? Aren\'t you afraid she\'ll turn you into fertilizer?"
In the legends, the Flower Witch was a madwoman who buried the bodies of a hundred thousand soldiers in the ground to cultivate the black soil.
Although reports indicated that this appearance of the Flower Witch was not the legendary Flower Witch,
Most people, under the influence of these legends, would not dare to look for the Flower Witch even with a high bounty reward.
For all they knew, their own bodies could become fertilizer for the flowers.
Of course, as far as Chen Qi was concerned, the past was the past and the present was the present.
The current Flower Witch\'s foolish appearance aside, before ascending to Fourth Rank, it was already quite an achievement not to end up as fertilizer.
Expectantly, Chen Qi said:
"After all, with so much money at stake, if I could provide some clues, there would be as much as one and a half million Shell Coins to be had. That\'s striking rich overnight."
"True, that\'s even faster than what rich players make. You may be a chef, but you\'re brave indeed!"
Perlu pondered for a moment and then smiled.
If she brought Chen Qi along,
Wouldn\'t that mean having an additional traveling chef with her on the road?
She tapped the table and said softly:
"The edge of the coast, Flower Island."
"The edge of the coast..."
Chen Qi was slightly shocked.
The destination for this journey was farther than he had imagined.
The domain of the Witch Sea could be roughly divided into the near sea, the Sea of Cracks, the Sea of Fog, and the Lightless Sea beyond the edge of the New Sun World.
Above these seas lay countless islands. With so many isles and complex maritime governance, coupled with a perennially weak navy,
These islands had also become the lairs where pirates hid.
It could be said that Shell Country had zero control over the seas beyond the coastal waters.
It was for this reason that, in recent days, the upper echelons of Shell Country had reorganized the navy, established the position of admiral, and tried to take back their dominant position in the Witch Sea. Explore more stories at m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net
The coastal periphery was a very dangerous place for ordinary people.
Chen Qi looked at his palm, clenched his fist, and thought to himself:
"By now, I should have the strength to set foot on the edge of the coastal waters."
"Delicious!"
Having finished the moonlight fish, Pelu said:
"I will depart on the White Dove tonight. It\'s too dangerous for you at night, you can leave tomorrow morning.
However, you need to be careful. There are many legends of treasures about Flower Island and with the recent Descent of the crack, many Travelers have headed to Flower Island.
This is also good news; that place lacks meat supplies, so the food must be terrible. Your business as a Chef will do well!"
"Hmm…"
Chen Qi nodded his head.
After Pelu had her fill, she left the small houseboat.
Once Pelu was gone, Chen Qi closed the doors and windows, took out the sea map from the Ice Pirate Group and the treasure map from the Deep Sea Hunter.
Before heading to Flower Island, he needed to confirm some things.
What, exactly, was the Flower Witch going to Flower Island for?
As a main character of the Witch Sea, she certainly wasn\'t going for tourism.
Her journey to Flower Island was surely for something important.
Chen Qi opened the sea map.
According to the indications on the Ice Pirate Map, the location of Flower Island had markings of a treasure chest and flowers.
Was the Flower Witch after medicinal herbs, or treasure?
Chen Qi rubbed his head.
He had a vague feeling that the Flower Witch was also there to seek the Hunter\'s treasure when he saw her at the hunting grounds.
All signs indicated that there was more than one treasure map left by the Deep Sea Hunter in this ocean!
And the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter seemed to be something everyone knew about!
Chen Qi placed his finger on the Deep Sea Hunter\'s treasure map and swept it from top to bottom.
In the middle section, the coordinates for Flower Island were written.
This place, indeed, also held a treasure buried by the Deep Sea Hunter...
Chen Qi glanced toward the far left of the coordinates to check the difficulty of this treasure.
However, to his surprise, there was no level of difficulty indicated before this piece of treasure information.
Aside from a simple sketch of clothing and a set of coordinates, there were no hints!
"Why?"
Chen Qi was puzzled for a moment.
No difficulty hint.
Did it mean that the difficulty of this treasure was zero, or was it simply forgotten to be written?
"Can\'t figure it out."
Chen Qi shook his head, put away the maps, and walked out of the boat house.
Stars twinkled overhead; the nighttime sea breeze blew through his black hair.
He looked toward the merchant ships ahead, the bright lighthouse, the moon in the sky, until that boundless, far-away place.
Chen Qi reached out toward the direction of the moon and made a grabbing gesture.
By now, he had gradually become familiar with this world, and had become a qualified First Order Transcendent.
After this trip, he could consider his one and only principle: advancing to become a Second-tier Transcendent.
"Flower Island, huh…"
Chen Qi felt excited yet somewhat apprehensive in his heart.
The high randomness of the New Day World dictated that even with a strategy for the crack and formidable power, he could still encounter accidents.
A world fraught with dangers.
But if one does not dare to brave the stormy seas, their progress would ultimately be slow and they couldn\'t stand at the pinnacle of these waves!
"Oh, the sea and the stars."
Chen Qi gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with expectation.
…
…
On the second day, the bright day ignited in the sky, illuminating the dark city.
The small houseboat set off from the harbor, heading toward the distant islands.
