Chapter 297 [Federal Library]

As they approached [Liuli Island].

Shane kept an eye on the two federal frigates that suddenly appeared around him.

After all, the time they appeared was a little too coincidental - just when [Black Swan] broke out of the blood clan's hunting.

Moreover, this sea area is actually still some distance away from [Liuli Island].

It is hard to say that the arrival of these two frigates was a coincidence.

It felt to Shane as if they were deliberately coming to greet [Black Swan].

Shane originally guessed that Karles might be on these two ships.

But when the remaining three warships of the blood clan disappeared from sight, no one on the frigate came forward to negotiate with them, as if the two ships were just patrolling as a routine.

This contradictory situation naturally made Shane feel quite strange.

It was not until the three ships entered the port of [Liuli Island] that a familiar face finally appeared on the deck.

"Captain Shane, long time no see."

Hearing this hearty voice, Shane was surprised and a little surprised.

"Captain Duran? Why are you in [Liuli Island]?"

The one who appeared on the frigate was none other than Duran, the subhuman whom Shane had met several times!

Duran was still tall and strong, with brown hair all over his body, and he looked very good.

With Shane's perception, he could easily detect that-

Compared with their last meeting, Duran's aura had made great progress, and he must have become a third-level secret pather.

In fact, this is the normal speed of promotion for secret paths.

There are many secret paths who cannot be promoted to the first level for several years or even decades.

Looking at Shane in front of him, Duran was both moved and admired.

If someone told him that this handsome young captain could become a fifth-level secret pather and make a great name for himself on the Seven Seas when they first met, he would definitely think it was a fantasy.

But now, all of this has become a fact.

Moreover, the fact that he could escape from the encirclement of the five blood race warships is enough to prove Shane's strength.

Suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Duran smiled and said, "I am no longer the captain, but the first mate on the [Iron Eagle]."

Xia En smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Although Duran's position changed from captain to first mate, the sea area under his jurisdiction has changed from a remote place like [Duke Island] to [Liuli Island].

It's like going from a small town to a big city.

It seems to be a demotion, but it is definitely a promotion.

Duran continued, "Let me introduce you, this is my current captain, Alessio."

Xia En looked at Duran's side.

The captain of the [Iron Eagle] is a tall and thin blond young man with a handsome appearance and a sharp temperament.

The most surprising thing is that he looks about the same age as Xia En.

At this age, being able to become the captain of the federal escort ship near [Liuli Island], coupled with the aura of a fourth-level secret pather on him, can be said to be young and promising.

However, Alessio looked at Shane with a complicated look.

There was envy, vigilance, surprise...

And a bit of strange hostility?

Shane was a little puzzled. Did he offend this young captain in some way?

It was obviously their first meeting, right?

Strange as it was, Alessio helped him at a critical moment, so Shane didn't care much and took the initiative to extend his hand and said.

"I'm Shane, nice to meet you."

Alessio shook his hand and then said coldly.

"Shane, this name... I've heard of it many times, but I didn't expect you to have the courage to come to [Liuli Island]."

"... Hmm?"

Shane raised his eyebrows and became alert.

Although he didn't know where Alessio's hostility came from, he expressed it directly, so Shane certainly couldn't pretend not to hear it.

However, just when Shane was about to say something.

With a "snap", a white palm slapped Alessio's back of the head.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The owner of the palm turned around and looked at Shane with a smile: "Don't listen to what Xiao Ao Ao said, we are very friendly to you."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to send these two escort ships to pick you up..."

When he saw Shane's face, the owner of the palm paused.

At this time, Shane was able to see the face of this woman clearly.

This is a heroic and graceful blonde woman with an extremely hot body.

The full breasts that are about to burst out make it impossible for any male to ignore.

Her appearance is 50% similar to Alessio, and she obviously has some kind of blood relationship.

"Sister, how many times have I told you not to hit my head!"

The cold attitude that Alessio had played before was instantly "broken" by the blonde woman's hit.

He looked extremely aggrieved, but he had no way to deal with his sister.

But at this time, the blonde woman's attention had been completely attracted by Shane.

She stared at Shane's face, which was so exquisite that it could be described as "perfect", with her eyes shining brightly and her saliva almost flowing down.

"I heard from Carlales before that Shane was very beautiful. Now it seems that she is really a rare little beauty."

"No wonder she has been thinking about you all the time."

Hearing this, Shane's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know Carles?"

"Where is she now?"

The blonde woman took a step forward, came to Shane, and hugged his shoulders.

The amazing elasticity was transmitted through the thin clothes, and Shane could even use this to outline the rounded arc in his mind.

However, what worried Xia En more was the speed with which she took this step.

Even Xia En can't seem to stop her, which shows the extraordinary strength of this woman.

"Don't worry~"

The woman's red lips opened slightly and she said softly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Daisy. I am Carles' colleague and friend."

"If you want to know where Carles is, why don't you chat with me first?"

As she spoke, Daisy's fingers slowly traced across Xia En's solid chest, her gesture was very ambiguous.

Shane frowned.

To be honest, he didn't particularly like such a frivolous woman, so he said lightly.

"I think we should get down to business, right?"

The flamboyant Daisy curled her lips and said, "You can't even take a joke. She is exactly the same as Carles."

But she still returned to Alessio's side honestly. Even before leaving, she didn't forget to touch Xia En's chest muscles one more time.

Xia En couldn't help but smile.

Is he being eaten into pieces?

After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En glanced at the two escort ships next to him and said seriously.

"Thank you both for your help."

He has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, so he naturally knew that Daisy and her brother were friends of Carles, but not his friends.

They are willing to help out of affection, but not to help out of duty.

Moreover, if the vampires were really determined just now, they might not take action against the federal escort ship.

"Little things, little things."

Daisy waved her hand generously: "When Carles left [Liu Li Island], he specifically told us that if you come to [Liu Li Island], we must help you."

"Actually, we didn't help much. The main reason is that your [Black Swan] was powerful enough to break out of their encirclement."

"If you are really caught by the vampires, even if we come forward, it will probably be of no use."

Daisy said this very frankly.

The combat power of the two escort ships was actually nothing at all. It was only because the Federation of the Seven Seas stood behind them that the vampires turned against them.

But this fear is obviously limited. It can only prevent the vampires from actively attacking them, but it cannot prevent them from spitting out the prey they have eaten.

That's why Daisy said this.

At this time, Alessio on the side said coldly: "However, you destroyed the two ships of the vampires this time, which can be considered as completely angering the vampires."

"After that, as long as you leave [Liu Li Island] again, you may be hunted by a larger scale of bloodshed."

"When the time comes, we won't be able to help, so you'll have to ask for your own blessings."

His words were clearly concerned, but his tone was somehow harsh, which made Xia En look a little weird.

"Haha, don't worry!"

Daisy patted Alessio on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's what little Ao'ao is like. What's that word called? It seems...arrogant?"

"But don't blame him. He targeted you for a reason."

Daisy explained to Xia En: "At the beginning, Xiao Aao was actually the original driver of [Platinum Knight]."

"Whether it's physical body or secret power, they all have a very high degree of compatibility."

"As a result, after Carles went on a mission, you robbed her of her first chance to unite. After that, Carlis didn't allow anyone else to enter her body, so the driver's matter was naturally left alone."

"Even now, little Ao'ao still feels resentful in his heart!"

After hearing this, Shane immediately understood where Alessio's hostility came from.

Co-author, Alessio is Carles's "childhood sweetheart", and he is the latecomer who stepped in.

Not only did he take away Carles' first time, but he also made her completely obsessed with him...

Hiss...this plot?

There are cows!

After thinking about all this, Shane no longer cared about Alessio's stinging words.

To be fair, anyone who encounters this kind of situation would be resentful!

Not to mention the thorny words, it is not impossible to challenge directly in person.

As a profiteer myself, I can only understand a little bit.

Soon, Shane asked Daisy again: "You said... before Carlisle left?"

"She has left [Liuli Island] now?"

Daisy nodded: "Yes."

"Her father is the captain of the [King], so she is also the first batch of supporters to go to the [Cold Sea]."

"I see."

Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't see Carles, but the situation was like this, there was nothing Shane could do.

The top priority right now is to find a place to stay and let the crew rest for a few days.

In fact, since the [Black Swan] left the [Ice Island], Xia En and others have not seriously rested on any island.

Long-term sea voyages actually place a considerable burden on people's minds and spirits.

If it weren't for Xia En's [Rhine Secret Realm] where the crew could rest, and Feiya and Joey's means of purifying their souls, something might have gone wrong a long time ago.

"Are you looking for a place to stay?"

Daisy saw Xia En's thoughts and said considerately: "Carles has already prepared it for you, come with me."

…

…

Under the leadership of Daisy, the group officially set foot on [Liu Li Island].

As soon as he landed on this island, Xia En immediately felt a distinctive feature that was different from other islands - big!

On other islands, due to island area restrictions.

People always try to compress unnecessary space as much as possible to free up more space for living or other important aspects.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it will inevitably make the layout of the entire island look a bit bloated and crowded.

Available at [Liu Li Island].

Whether it is streets, corridors, houses, or churches, they are all extremely spacious.

The streets and buildings on both sides of the roads in the city have obviously been carefully planned and are not just "barbaric growth" without order.

It just looks pleasing to the eye.

Even on the road, Sean could see green plants and flowers.

Cinemas, dance halls, grand theaters, museums... these buildings that seemed to have been lost in the post-flood era are neatly displayed on [Liu Li Island].

It can be said that the prosperity of [Liu Li Island] is not the kind of "prosperity" that is magnificent, dazzling and blinding people with a large number of luxury goods.

It is another kind of quiet prosperity that symbolizes civilization and order.

As far as Xia En was concerned, it was obvious that the latter made people feel more comfortable.

But at the same time, Xia En and others also noticed——

The pedestrians on [Liu Li Island] are not too dense, and are even a little sparse.

Many of the shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed, and it was unclear whether they were closed or closed.

Some streets looked quite deserted.

Daisy explained: "This is not only the impact of the second flood prophecy, but also because of the previous war between the Hui Sect, the Nether Sect and the Truth Society."

"In order to prevent the infiltration of the esoteric believers, [Liu Li Island] once cut off the entry and exit of merchant ships, which is why it is now like this."

At this point, Daisy sighed: "I really don't know why they are fighting."

"On the contrary, we suffered an unreasonable disaster."

Shane: "..."

Not long after, Daisy brought Shane and others to a manor.

"This is Carles's manor, you can live here first."

"If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

Hearing this, Xia En said directly: "It just so happens that I have a need now."

…

"You want to explore pre-Flood history?"

"Still want to find some possibly lost spells?"

After listening to Xia En's request, Daisy thought for a moment and gave the answer: "Then there is only one place you want to go -"
