Chapter 139 The Crown of the World
"Woo~~"
Listening to the piercing siren, Anna didn't care. At this moment, her attention was attracted by the strange island in front of her.
A giant mushroom the size of a mountain peak is located in the center of the island. The huge fan of the mushroom has faint blue light, which is so conspicuous against the dark background.
Anna felt her body leaning forward, leaning most of her body out of the side of the boat to look at the mushroom. "This kind of scenery is really spectacular. It would be great if I had a mobile phone, so I could take a selfie."
While Anna was talking, there was a commotion below. She looked down and found that the people in the bottom deck had already started to disembark.
Anna turned around and looked at the servants behind her. "Get everything ready, let's go down too."
A dozen or so fair-looking women stood neatly behind her, "Yes, Master!" They replied respectfully.
Not many people disembarked from the crown of the world, except for those people in the bottom deck, only Anna.
Compared with the rush and bustle of Coral Island Wharf, it seems a little lifeless here, and there are not many laborers to move goods.
Anna's dozens of large boxes alone covered the entire labor force at the dock.
"Be careful, the things inside are very valuable, and you won't be able to pay for it if you sell them." Anna's maid, Martha, told the workers.
"Don't worry, respected guest, we are more nervous than you when we finally come to a business." After the workers covered their faces with face scarves, they began to move the boxes with all their hands and feet.
Slowly following the crowd into the pier, coughing sounded, at first it was sporadic, but then hundreds of people coughed continuously.
A boy in the crowd tugged at his mother's skirt. "Mom, my throat is itchy, my throat is so itchy."
At this time, several businessmen with some thick gauze and masks rushed into the crowd, and began to sell every word you said.
"The mask has 35 echoes, and the mask has 40 echoes. If you need it, buy it quickly. It is no good to absorb too many spores from the crown of the world."
"That's right, there is a proverb in the crown of our world, you can even go out without clothes, but the only thing you can't do without is a mask!"
Most of the poor bilge workers don’t have much money. Except for some parents who bought it for their children, most of them just took some clothes from the package and covered their mouths.
A salesman walked up to Anna with a face towel, and said to her with a smile: "Ma'am, yours is too thin, please change to mine. Three layers of spider silk, authentic product from Spider Island." , can definitely block 90% of the spores."
Anna took off the veil on her face, and the salesman was stunned when she saw her beautiful face
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "Well, the sweet taste, I'm starting to like this place."
"Sweet? How can it be sweet?" The puzzled businessman took off the mask on his face, sucked it into the air, sneezed several times in a row, and put the mask on quickly.
Outside the pier is the port area. The houses with mushrooms growing on the roofs and corners are very dilapidated, and there are only a few people on the street, which is completely incomparable with other islands.
The appearance of the people at the crown of the world is no different from other places, the only difference is that they all wear face scarves or masks that cover their mouths and noses.
Just when the poor people in the bilge were standing helplessly on the street, a middle-aged man in blue uniforms with a dozen subordinates walked over imposingly, holding a copper horn in his hand.
The middle-aged man with a big belly brought the trumpet to his mouth and began to announce. "I know that you may have heard of the beauty of the crown of the world on other islands. Yes, the flyer said that it is true. As long as you have hands and feet, Governor Tucker will not only rent you farm tools, but will also lend you farm tools. Your seeds. When the ryegrass is harvested, remove 50% of the Governor’s tax, and the rest will be yours!!”
The people suddenly became excited, rushing towards that side one after another.
"Don't crowd! Don't crowd, line up and come one by one."
The maid next to Anna covered her nose with a scarf and said in surprise: "Master, I thought they were just talking, but I didn't expect them to really give away the land! There are still such good people in the world."
Anna shook her head slightly, "Silly girl, how is such a good thing possible, look over there."
The maid followed her white fingers and looked over there. Outside the port area were neat rows of fields, and farmers wearing masks hunched over and carried oil lamps to work among them, like sporadic fireflies in the woods.
"Wow, the ryegrass grows so tall here. The yield must be good."
"This place is so fertile precisely because of the Tibetan land of the world, but this matter is both a good thing and a bad thing. The spores of the crown of the world can be buried in the fertile land on the ground, but that thing is a serious hazard to the human body. .”
Anna walked towards the road between the fields.
"The longer a person stays here, the more his lungs will be eroded by the spores of the crown of the world. When his lungs are completely useless, his lifespan will be up. Such fertile ryegrass can be used by people. Blood poured out."
Speaking of this, Anna suddenly chuckled. "The Diwa tribe is just for fun. If we really want to talk about the skills of cannibalism, it depends on the human beings themselves."
"Cough~ cough cough!! cough cough cough!!!"
An old man prostrated himself on the ground coughing vigorously. He pulled off his mask, desperately trying to take a breath, but the spores in the air only made his coughing more intense.
Seeing his suffocated flush, the maid showed a trace of fear on her face.
"I brought you here, do you regret it?"
Hearing Anna's voice, the maid Martha followed closely and shook her head with a firm expression.
"I have been by my master's side since I was a child. My whole life has been a master for my master. Wherever my master goes, Martha will be there, even if my master wants to eat me. I am willing too!"
The corners of Anna's mouth raised slightly, and she reached out to stroke her maid's soft hair, looking at her as if she was looking at a kitten or puppy.
"How could I eat you? You have been with me for so many years. Speaking of which, you are half of my family."
Martha said with a bit of excitement on her face: "Don't worry, master, I will serve you with all my heart before my lungs fail."
Anna pulled her up and walked towards the field outside the port area. "Don't worry, I chose you with great difficulty. I can't let you die like this. There is a place in the crown of the world that doesn't suffer from the torment of spores. Our goal is also there."
Speaking of this, Anna slightly raised her head to look at the top of the crown of the world, where sporadic lights shone.
