"A lighthouse appeared over there. This means that we have arrived at a place where there are humans, at least it is not an uninhabited island on the sea." Old Tang said excitedly, "We immediately found the port and landed! We just struggled so much under the sea.
It’s been a long time, you should find a place to rest!”
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Zihang tensed his nerves. He looked at the lighthouse and frowned, "But I always feel like there's something wrong."
"What's the problem with a lighthouse?" Old Tang said with a smile, "At most, it's just that the place we go to doesn't understand the language."
"Something's wrong." Chu Zihang whispered. His eyes swept over the lighthouse and stayed on it. The lighthouse was located far away from them. Even with the excellent eyesight of the mixed race, they could only see one.
A small black dot with a soft light emitting from it.
But he always felt that there was an evil nature in it, as if this was not a lighthouse, but a mysterious sign leading to the unknown.
But now is not the time to think too much. Just as Old Tang said, they just spent a lot of energy under the sea.
And just drifting on the sea like this is not an option. Even if they are strong, they can't last long. They must land immediately and replenish food and water.
"Let's go!" Lu Mingfei shouted from the deck, standing in front with his hands on his hips, feeling a surge of pride and ambition.
"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
He couldn't help but make a joke.
Old Tang looked at him sideways and complained mercilessly: "Who is the Pirate King? Why do you want to be his man?"
"..."
Lu Mingfei's face darkened for a moment, then he turned around and glared fiercely at his bad friend.
Old Tang shrugged and spread his hands.
"Can you guys stop making trouble?"
Chu Zihang said helplessly.
While they were fighting, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and rolling thunder sounded during the friction. The waves on the sea became bigger and bigger, and it seemed that they would be swallowed up at any time.
Big raindrops fell straight on everyone's heads, and the cold rain hurt everyone's face. The rain curtain and the sea seemed to be connected at this moment.
The Trieste, which was already a wreck, is now even more dilapidated, like a small boat floating on the sea, about to be overturned.
Finally, swaying, the wreckage passed through the storm, and they arrived near the lighthouse. Everyone on the boat saw the outline of the lighthouse - it was a very simple and simple lighthouse, which seemed to be about five meters high, with a spire.
There was a blue-white light shining on it, like a star.
Following this, a small port appeared in front of several people through the gloomy sky and rain curtain.
"Okay, it's the port, we've arrived." Old Tang said happily, Xilihu wiped the rainwater on his face, as happy as a ten thousand-year-old child.
Chu Zihang sighed, and took one last look at the lighthouse, "I hope it's really safe."
"Don't worry!" Old Tang said cheerfully, "We will be able to dock in a while."
As they spoke, the ship was slowly sailing towards the port. The closer it got to the port, the denser the rain became, almost covering their eyes.
Lu Mingfei looked around and saw no one.
"It seems that the staff have all gone to take shelter in such a heavy rain." Lu Mingfei murmured to himself, "Do we still have to rush in in the rain? There is no way to stop this shabby wreckage..."
Fortunately, not long after, a man in his thirties with brown hair, brown eyes, and rough skin wearing a blue uniform, holding a black umbrella, and holding a glass lantern appeared on the pier. He looked them over first.
Then he asked in standard Mandarin: "Hi, guys, where are you from? Do you need help?"
Although most of his voice was swallowed up by the wind and rain, everyone present had good hearing and heard the man's words.
Old Tang immediately waved his hand happily, "I am the captain of this ship. We are lost and want to anchor here and rest for a while."
"……Boat?"
The man took a look at their bumpy wreckage. It didn't look like a ship at all.
But these people did appear to be in trouble at sea.
"Of course it's no problem." He smiled cheerfully, and used not-so-standard movements to direct Old Tang to maneuver the wreckage into the port. Old Tang also used his poor skills to barely crash into the port.
inside.
"Thank you!" Old Tang held the man's hand gratefully and said, "You are such a warm-hearted and good person."
The man waved his hand modestly, "You're welcome. But how did you end up like this?"
"Alas." Old Tang sighed, "To be honest, we encountered a hurricane. Not only was the ship destroyed, but even the crew members died. Now we are alone on the sea, and we don't know how long we can hold on...
…”
After he finished speaking exaggeratedly, he even pretended to raise his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Even Lu Mingfei didn't even look at his good brother.
As a result, this man actually believed it and looked like he wanted to comfort Old Tang.
Lu Mingfei looked away silently.
"Excuse me, which port is this? Which country is it in?" Chu Zihang asked calmly, "We finally lost our way in the storm and want to know where this place is."
"Which port is this?"
The man rolled his eyes, did not answer directly, and said in a loud voice:
"Just a moment."
He immediately turned around, holding an umbrella and a lantern, and ran towards the buildings near the pier.
Such a reaction was somewhat beyond Chu Zihang's expectation, but because this was on the vast sea, no one knew where the magician had thrown them. Maybe he had thrown them into some place with strange customs, and neither did he.
OK, keep asking more questions.
Five or six minutes later, the man led a girl and ran over quickly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The girl did not hold an umbrella and was wearing a hooded raincoat. The material of the raincoat was not rubber or plastic, but more like the one from a hundred or two hundred years ago.
An old-fashioned raincoat.
Chu Zihang frowned slightly.
Not only this girl, but also... the style of the clothes on this man does not look like modern clothes. If it is a small island far away from civilization, it would be an explanation, but what they said is standard language...
Moreover, this man looks more like a European and American.
The man obviously noticed the confusion in Chu Zihang's eyes, and he turned his gaze slightly.
The girl took off her rain hat, revealing her appearance. She was in her twenties, with lake-green eyes and long flaxen hair, some of which lay wetly on her face, making her look a little more pure.
and a feeling of fascination.
This is a pretty beauty with a wild temperament.
"Everyone, this is Utopia Port." The man introduced rather impatiently, "My name is Theodore, and I am the temporary commander of the port."
As he sat there, he laughed, seemingly happy that he had invented such a powerful-sounding position.
"Oh?" Chu Zihang raised his eyebrows, "Are you the commander here?"
Theodore nodded, "That's right." He looked quite satisfied.
"Is this Utopia Port far away from Tokyo?" Chu Zihang is not a sailor who has been drifting on the sea for a long time. He is not very clear about what ports there are in various parts of the world.
"Tokyo?" Theodore was stunned for a moment, "You are going to Tokyo?"
"Yes, we set out from Tokyo, but now we have encountered a storm, and we don't know where we have deviated."
"Oh, you guys are so unlucky." Theodore clicked his tongue regretfully, "This is a thousand miles away from Tokyo. This is already the South Pacific."
Chu Zihang: "..."
Old Tang: "..."
Lu Mingfei: "..."
They were all silent.
That damn magician is really a scam!
There really is no free lunch in the world!
"Anyway, since we have arrived at this port, let's stay here temporarily." Theodore smiled, turned to look at the girl beside him, and introduced, "This is the owner of our port hotel!"
"My name is Tracy." The girl smiled, "The owner of the Port Hotel, I am also the front desk and waiter."
She looked at the four of them, Lu Mingfei, and spoke standard Mandarin: "The storm is very strong, the ship will be very bumpy, and it seems that your ship is also in disrepair. It is not very wise to stay here to rest.
Choose. The hotel will provide you with a stable bed, enough hot water, clean food, warm quilts, and an environment that reminds you of your own home. It only costs 10 pence a night, and I mean a room."
"In addition to these, you can also drink heavily in the bar next to it and enjoy the warm hospitality."
Obviously, this girl is here to solicit business.
But after listening to Miss Tracy's words, Lu Mingfei and others showed more or less strange expressions.
penny?
Even Lu Mingfei noticed something was wrong.
Obviously they all look European, and the things they mentioned and the words they said also have a strong translation accent, but they all speak in Chinese... or the very standard Mandarin, you can be an announcer.
All over.
…Is it possible that the whole world is speaking Chinese?
Do not make jokes!
This is not a domestic TV series!
Several people noticed something was wrong.
"It's more important for us to find a place to stay first." Chu Zihang said calmly, and at the same time, he turned on his device and wanted to contact Norma to check out this "Utopia" port.
But it's a pity that there is no signal here. No matter how powerful Norma is, she can't find or contact them.
"Utopia..." Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully, "I remember that this symbolizes the best society in human ideology, just like the early "utopian socialism" in the West."
Chu Zihang also nodded: "Utopia originally means "no place" or "good place". It extends to ideal and impossible good things. Its Chinese translation can also be understood as "Utopia" is
No, "tuo" means sustenance, "bang" means country, and the three words "utopia" together mean "utopian country."
"Thomas More, the founder of utopian socialism, fictionalized the travels of a navigator, Raphael Sislard, who sailed to a strange and exotic "Utopia" in his famous book "Utopia". There he
, property is publicly owned, people are equal, the principle of distribution according to need is implemented, everyone wears uniform work clothes, eats in public restaurants, and officials are elected by the public."
"Until the seventeenth century, utopias were generally located in geographically distant countries. The discoveries of European sailing expeditions in the 16th and 17th centuries made people more familiar with the world, thus making this useful design disappear."
"Could it be that we have discovered a true utopia?!" Lu Mingfei suddenly became very excited after hearing Chu Zihang's words.
"This conjecture is far-fetched." Chu Zihang shook his head.
"Although this is a very beautiful legend, it does not exist."
"Utopia often has a broader meaning. It is generally used to describe any imaginary, ideal society. Sometimes it is also used to describe a society's attempt to turn certain theories into reality. Often utopia is also used to represent a certain
Some good but unrealizable suggestions, wishes, plans, etc.”
"In other words, Utopia is just an ideal society conceived in novels. Although some people try to build Utopia, Utopia is still just an ideal perfect place. I guess this place just has the name of Utopia."
"There are many places named after legendary places. Just like there are many Peach Blossom Spring."
"Brother, you know a lot." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Actually, I think instead of calling it Utopia... it would be better to call it Yanan." Old Tang interjected, looking at the strange and precarious atmosphere.
From the beginning, everything here was weird. Even the two people who greeted them didn't look right. Although they looked like humans, they always felt that something was weird.
"Yanan?"
"Yeah." Old Tang said seriously, "Because this place feels very weird, it should be called Yanan to better suit the atmosphere here."
"No, I understand the truth, but what does Yanan mean?"
Lu Mingfei asked in confusion.
"Um..." Old Tang scratched his head in confusion, and there was a lot of confusion in his eyes, "I don't know... someone seemed to have told me..."
"who?"
"I don't remember. It shouldn't be something important."
——————
PS, Yanan comes from the game "Bloodborne" and was released in Japan on March 24, 2015. It is a city with simple folk customs.
Xiao Ke initially planned to name his marionette town Yanan, but later changed it to Utopia.
This is probably Xiao Ke’s ideal city.
There is no Bloodborne game in Dragon Clan's timeline. Old Tang was influenced by Xiao Ke and came up with it.
