Chapter 138: The Crown of the World
“Woo~~”
Listening to the harsh whistle, Anna didn't care at all. At this moment, her attention was attracted by the strange island in front of her.
A giant mushroom as big as a mountain is located in the center of the island. The huge fan of the mushroom is filled with a faint blue light, which looks so conspicuous against the darkness.
Anna felt her body leaning forward, poking her half out of the boat and looking towards the mushrooms. "This kind of scenery is really spectacular. If only you have a cell phone, you can take a selfie."
While Anna was talking, there was a noise from below. She looked down and found that the people in the bottom cabin had already started to disembark.
Anna turned around and looked at the servants behind her. "Prepare everything, let's go down too."
More than a dozen women with good faces stood neatly behind her, "Of course, master!" They answered respectfully.
There were not many people disembarking at the World Crown, except for those in the bottom cabin, only Anna.
Compared to the hasty and lively atmosphere at Coral Island Pier, the place seems a bit deadened, and there are not even many workers moving goods.
Ana's dozens of big boxes alone rounded up the laborers at the entire dock.
"Be careful, these things are very expensive, and you can't afford to sell them." Anna's maid Martha reminded the laborer.
"Don't worry, dear guest, we're even more nervous than you." After the laborers covered with facial scarves on their faces said, they began to move boxes in a row.
I slowly entered the dock along the crowd and the coughing sounded. At first, it was just a little bit, but later hundreds of people kept coughing.
A boy in the crowd pulled the corner of his mother's clothes. "Mom, my throat is itchy, my throat is very itchy."
At this moment, several businessmen with some thick gauze and masks rushed into the crowd, and they started to sell every word they said.
"The mask has 35 echoes, and the mask has 40 echoes. If you need it, come and buy it. There is no benefit to absorb too many spores in the World Crown."
"Yes, there is a proverb at the forefront of our world. You can even go out without clothes, but you can't lose a mask!"
Most of the poor people who built bottom cabins don’t have much money. Except for some parents who bought it for their children, most of them just took out some clothes from the package and covered their mouths.
A salesman walked to Anna with a facial scarf and said to her with a smile: "My lady, your one is too thin, please change to mine. Three layers of spider silk, the real product of Spider Island, can definitely block 90% of the spider's spider island."
Anna took off her veil, and the salesman was stunned when she looked at her beautiful face.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "Well, the sweet smell, I'm starting to fall in love with this place."
"Sweet? How can it be sweet?" The confused businessman took off the mask on his face and sucked it into the air. After sneezing several times, he quickly brought the mask on him.
Outside the pier is the port area. Houses with mushrooms on the roof and corners are very dilapidated. There are only a few people on the street, which is incomparable to other islands.
People with the world's crown have no difference in appearance than in other places. The only difference is that they all wear face towels or masks that cover their mouths and noses.
Just as the poor people in the bottom cabin were helpless standing on the street, they walked over with a proud middle-aged man in blue uniforms, holding a bronze trumpet in his hand.
The middle-aged man with a big belly put the trumpet to his mouth and began to announce it. "I know you may have heard of the beauty of the world's crown on other islands. Yes, the flyer says it right. As long as you have hands and feet, Governor Tucker will not only rent you farm tools, but also lend you seeds. When the ryegrass is harvested, except for the 50% tax on the Governor, the rest will be yours!!"
People suddenly became excited and rushed towards the other side in crowds.
"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze, line up and come one by one."
The maid next to Anna, who covered her nose with a scarf, said in surprise: "Master, I thought they were just talking, but I didn't expect that they really gave the land! There are such good people in the world."
Anna shook her head slightly, "Silly girl, how can such a good thing be possible? Look over there."
The maid looked over the white fingers and looked over there. Outside the port area were rows of neat fields. The farmers with masks were hunched and carried oil lamps were working between them, like scattered fireflies in the woods.
"Wow, the ryegrass here grows so high. The yield must be good."
"This place is so fertile because of the hidden land of the world. But this matter is both a good 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 major harm to the human body."
Anna walked towards the road between the fields.
"The longer people stay here, the more their lungs will be eroded by the spores of the crown of the world. When their lungs are completely useless, their lifespan will come. Such fertile ryegrass can be poured out with human blood."
Speaking of this, Anna suddenly chuckled. "The Diva tribe is just trying to have fun. If you really want to talk about the skills of cannibalism, it depends on the humans themselves."
"Cough~ Cough cough!! Cough cough cough!!"
An old man crawling on the ground on the street was coughing hard. He pulled down his mask and tried desperately to inhale, but the spores in the air would only make his cough worse.
Looking at his red look, a hint of fear appeared on the maid's face.
"Do you regret it if I bring you here?"
Hearing Anna's voice, the maid Masha followed her with a few steps, shook her head with a firm expression.
"I have been by my master since I was a child. My life has been a master who exists for my master. Martha will go wherever the master goes, even if the master wants to eat me, I am willing!"
Anna raised her mouth slightly, reached out to touch her maid's soft hair, and looked at her as if she was looking at a kitten and a puppy.
"How could I eat you? You have been with me for so many years. Speaking of which, you are half my family."
Martha said with some excitement on her face: "Don't worry, Master, I will serve you with all my heart before my lungs strike."
Anna pulled her up and walked towards the fields outside the port area. "Don't worry, you were finally selected by me, and I can't let you die like this. There is a place in the world's crown without having to bear the torture of spores, and our goal is also there."
