Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 141: Crown of the Sea King
Pearl Island.
A legendary cursed place.
This rumor circulated among captains, but sailors knew little about it. Navigators might know something, after all, their duty was to lead the crew to avoid all the terrifying things on the sea.
Most sailors have only heard that this is a forbidden place!
So when the lookout discovered that the ship was heading towards Pearl Island, all the sailors fell into panic!
If it weren't for Marvin's remaining influence, they would have quit long ago.
However, compared to the beginning, these sailors' hands and feet have begun to tremble.
…
"Master Marvin!"
After helping Marvin capture the Southern, Roberts, the former second mate, was successfully promoted to the first mate of the ship.
Marvin promised to appoint him captain of the Southern after the new port was established.
After all, it is impossible for him to travel on the sea for a long time.
This gave Roberts a lot of motivation.
He is a fearless and ambitious character who has always scoffed at the legend of Pearl Island.
"They're a little scared. They want to know where exactly you want to go."
“I could calm them down for a while, but it wouldn’t last long,” Roberts explained.
Marvin turned around, looked at the terrified crowd, and said loudly:
"Pearl Island is just an ordinary island. The legends on the sea are not credible, and the Nanfang will not stop at Pearl Island. We will only stop at the edge of Pearl Island for half a day, and then we will turn back to the southwest."
"There, there's an open beach suitable for a landing. We can bypass the Screaming Mountains safely at sea, and that's where I want to build my new port!"
"And once we get there, it won't be far from my White River Valley."
After listening to Marvin's words, the sailors calmed down a little.
In fact, now that they had all participated in the murder of the original captain, there was nowhere else to go. Whatever Marvin said was true, and they could not argue with it.
At this moment, the Nanfang slowly approached Pearl Island and stopped about ten miles away from the coastline.
It was the time when the sun was rising, and under the influence of the sunlight, the thick fog on the edge of Pearl Island became much thinner.
Some of the sailors took the opportunity to rest, while others looked anxiously at this legendary forbidden land.
Marvin ordered that no one except himself was allowed to land on the island.
While he was on the island, Lola was on his behalf to exercise his powers.
He was not afraid that the gang would sneak away in their boat while he was on the island. Without Marvin, the gang could not go anywhere.
Only the White River Valley can accommodate them.
This is true even for the ambitious First Officer Roberts.
Moreover, Marvin did have a backup plan. He left the storm spirit on the ship.
If these people make any rash moves, the storm spirits who can fly freely and control the wind can easily stop them.
…
"Let's go to the island during the day, so we don't have to deal with those fog monsters."
As Marvin was thinking this, a small boat was lowered down.
A strong sailor will row Marvin to the island.
Everyone watched the boat go away. Although they didn't know what Marvin was doing, based on Marvin's reputation, they guessed that this adult must be planning something important.
After all, the nickname "Magic Marvin" has gradually spread from River Beach City to the East Coast.
The popularity of this nickname is basically the same as that of "Two-Headed Snake Marvin".
They were still willing to believe that Marvin could lead them to a better life than before.
Since Captain George took over the Southern, he has made life more and more difficult for the sailors due to his bad temper and harsh attitude. Otherwise, Laura would not have been able to instigate these guys so easily.
Although Marvin also killed people like crazy, at least he didn't lose his temper.
Most of the sailors actually thought: No matter what, it’s impossible to be worse than George.
And with Laura's comfort, everyone's emotions gradually stabilized.
Pearl Island under the sunshine seems quite beautiful, not as scary as the legend says.
…
The waves were rough and the boat was struggling to approach Pearl Island.
The strong sailor had already received repeated warnings from Marvin: not to land on Pearl Island.
"Everything on Pearl Island is cursed."
"Look, the white beach is covered with pearls. If you are greedy and take one pearl, everyone on the ship will be killed by you."
"Just wait for me right here, got it?"
The honest sailor nodded.
Although he also saw the pearl in the distance, the rumors about the forbidden land and Marvin's warning still discouraged him.
No matter how good money is, life is more important.
But he couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, why did you go to the island? Aren't you afraid?"
Marvin said calmly, "I went to the island to return something. If you don't take anything away, you'll be fine."
The sailor nodded and said nothing more.
After a while, Marvin ordered him to stop.
"Just wait for me here."
He instructed.
Then he straightened his clothes and jumped into the sea. It was not far from the beach of Pearl Island and he could easily swim over.
…
On the Southern, Roberts watched this scene from a distance , with a puzzled look on his face: "Miss Laura, what do you think Lord Marvin wants to do?"
"I don't know." Laura said simply.
“No one can guess what he’s thinking.”
"But it's true that he can always work miracles. The White River Valley encountered a food crisis before, and I came out for this. In the end, he solved it by himself."
"We have to trust Lord Marvin. Even though he is a Pisces man, he is still very reliable."
"Phiscis?" Roberts showed a trace of .
"Hey, don't you sailors learn about constellations?" Laura asked back, "How did you become the first mate?"
The navigator at the side wiped his sweat silently, watching Marvin finally arrive at the island covered with pearls.
"That's a cursed beach. May the Silver God bless us..."
…
Marvin walked on the beach, everything here was so nostalgic.
Memories emerged bit by bit, and he was very glad that he was so familiar with every copy of Fenan.
Pearl Island is indeed a very dangerous place, especially at night, where you can easily run into the terrifying fog monster if you are not careful.
And everything here cannot be touched easily, let alone carried.
"Each pearl carries a curse of aging. If you touch it, you will lose half a year of your life."
"Black Pearl, Death Curse..."
"Blue Star Shell, Alienation Curse..."
He carefully avoided the horrific places in his memory and finally walked across the beach that was littered with "landmines".
There was a mountainous area ahead, with no trees and only bare caves.
It's relatively safe here.
This time, Marvin came not to completely open the treasure of Pearl Island, but to explore the details first and get some benefits by the way.
After all, he hasn't collected all six cursed pearls yet.
However, one of them could also bring him benefits on Pearl Island.
The prerequisite is to understand the tricks.
Marvin looked around, found a suitable cave, and crawled in.
The cave was dark and damp. Going deeper, he found a pool of water.
The pool of water was very turbid, but Marvin knew that there were similar pools of water in the caves on the island, and each pool of water led to the deepest secrets of Pearl Island.
He took out the cursed pearl and gently threw it into the water.
"It should be the same as I remember..."
His eyes were fixed on the changes in the pearl.
Sure enough, under the influence of this magical pool of water, the pearls began to melt slowly.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed, and with a splash, the fish that had been swimming in the pearl jumped out of the pearl.
It swam happily in the pool for a while, then jumped out.
It stared at Marvin and spoke in human language: "If you unlock my cage, I will give you a gift."
"The gift I give you will not be cursed, but you must remember that you cannot touch anything else on this island."
The fish said so.
Marvin nodded.
The next second, the fish splashed and dived into the pool of water!
Ma Wen felt a little excited!
Deep in the lake lies the treasure of Pearl Island!
There, the worst things are magic items!
You might even get your hands on a legendary item!
This is when it comes to luck.
What the fish chooses to give to Marvin is completely random!
"I hope I'll be lucky enough to get a top-quality magic item..."
"It would be even better if it was a legend..."
Marvin sat by the pond and waited for a long time before a shadow swam out of the pond with difficulty.
It pushed that thing up with its head!
"Take it quickly! I can't bear it anymore! It's too heavy."
The fish said with difficulty.
Marvin hurriedly took the wet thing away.
It was something like a crown.
Marvin looked at it carefully for a while, and then he was ecstatic!
He knows this thing!
Poseidon's Crown - Legendary Item!
"Wait...Huh? Why does it show that it is sealed?" Marvin's joy diminished a little.
In his previous life, he did not obtain the crown of Poseidon.
But it is said that with this thing, you can dominate the sea!
"I'm lucky enough to draw a sealed legendary item. I should be content. At least some of its effects should be brought into play."
Marvin paused. He was just about to thank the fish, but in the blink of an eye, the fish disappeared.
Marvin didn't care. After all, they would meet again one day - once he collected all six cursed pearls, he would be able to unlock the real treasure of Pearl Island!
By then, Marvin would probably count the money until his hands cramped.
After all, it is the wealth left behind by six generations of pirate kings!
…
Two hours later, Marvin returned to the Southern and ordered the ship to set sail!
Target, the southeast bank of the White River Valley!
Marvin didn't know the exact coordinates, but as long as it was parallel to the coastline and across the Screaming Mountains, it would the perfect place in his mind to build a port.
In the captain's room, he held the Crown of Poseidon and began to test the effect of this sealed legendary item.
He gently touched the two ends of the Sea King's Crown with his hands, and suddenly, a vast open sea appeared in his mind!
He saw the Southern and every creature in the sea!
"Eye of the Ocean?" Marvin was very satisfied with the first function tested.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a shadow in the nearby sea!
A powerful vitality came from that shadow!
But this vitality is not active, but depressed.
"What?"
Marvin curiously controlled the Ocean Eye and looked at the shadow.
When he saw it, he was completely speechless.
It was a creature drifting on a wooden board!
He is now in a coma, but still clings to the board tightly. No one knows how long he has been drifting on the sea.
"I bumped into him at this time. I don't know if it's my luck or his luck."
Marvin found it funny. He immediately determined the direction through the Ocean Eye and ordered the Southern to temporarily change its course and head towards the place where the shadow was.
Half an hour later, several sailors struggled to fish the guy out.
Bang!
The other party fell on the deck in a mess, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and was still in a semi-comatose state.
Laura suddenly appeared and said in surprise:
"Huh? Why is it him?"
