Chapter 306 The Unknown Two Years
Coming down from the stone steps that were half leaning on the cliff and half facing the void, Xifa was fine, but Uqidi's expression was not so good. As an island resident and a guide, he must have been in the Devil's Throat many times.
Even so, he is still just an ordinary person who still remains in awe of certain things.
For example, the sea.
Even if there are iron ropes on the other side of the stone steps to serve as guardrails, this is right on the seaside, and the wind and waves are very strong. It is not impossible for someone to accidentally fall. If you fall headfirst from above, you will fall into the sea full of reefs.
, the chances of ordinary people surviving will be extremely low.
It seems that being a guide is not an easy job... Xifa glanced at the young man and planned to give him a tip if he stayed.
After Uqidi took a short rest, he looked at Xifa with some surprise. He had brought many guests to visit the Devil's Throat, and he had also seen some guests who were full of confidence and fearless when they came. But when they walked down there
After walking up the stone steps on the cliff, his face turned pale and his legs became weak.
But the guest in front of him, who had a darker complexion and looked not much older than himself, was very calm.
Even his breathing didn't change at all, as if what he just walked down was just the stairs in his own building.
After resting, Uqidi led the way and took Xifa through a stone beach to the entrance of the 'Devil's Throat'. The entrance of this cave has two sharp stone ribs of different lengths at the top, which looks convenient.
It looks like the devil's fangs, so no wonder it has the name "Devil's Throat".
Although he had already heard Green say it when he came, when he came to the scene and saw it himself, Xifa became more and more certain that an ordinary sailing ship could not enter this cave.
The width of the cave is seven or eight meters, but the height is only three or four meters. Such a height cannot accommodate the mast of the ship.
Walking into the cave, there is a ground paved with gravel on both sides, and in the middle is the sea water that is constantly pouring in from the outside. Uqidi is holding a wind lantern, reminding Xifa to be careful where to stay. Although there are two sides of the cave,
The rocky beach is suitable for walking, but there is almost no buffer between the rocky beach and the sea water. If you accidentally step into the water, you will fall directly.
If you don't know how to swim, you will probably drown in this cave. One or two tragedies happen every year in this cave.
After walking for a while, Xifa discovered that the space had indeed narrowed, and there were some messy rocks in the middle. After crossing these rocks, and walking about seven or eight meters, the cave began to widen again, and finally, Xifa saw a small lake.
It's deep inside the cave.
On this small lake located in the middle of the mountain, there is indeed a black sailboat. The size of this sailboat is one size smaller than that of the 'Breaker'. The hull, sails and even the statue on the bow are all black.
An isolation fence was set up near the 'Black Star'. Behind the isolation fence, there were personnel wearing the uniforms of Loen Kingdom navy officers and two Kingdom navy officers guarding it.
Those tourists who arrived earlier than Xifa could only stand behind the isolation fence, admiring the sailboat from a distance, and discussing how the 'Black Star' entered the cave.
"Can we go on the boat for a visit?" Xifa asked in a low voice.
Uqidi shook his head and said: "No, this ship is currently protected by the Kingdom's navy. We can only visit it by the lake and cannot get on the ship."
"Really? That's a pity." Xifa thought to himself. With the help of the 'Cane of Resentment', he was sure to avoid the navy's eyes and ears. Or, he could directly show his identity, but the captain did not give him any identification when he got off the ship.
.
In short, if you want to go on a boat tour, there are still some ways in Western France, but it depends on whether it is necessary.
As he got closer, he discovered that the 'Black Star' had a portrait of the bride's bow hanging on it. It really looked like a wedding ship. Moreover, there were many wooden carvings on the ship, which were very gorgeous, but such decorations had no practical use at sea.
It has no effect other than making the ship more conspicuous.
Just as Xifa turned to the other side of the sailboat, he suddenly saw a figure appearing on the deck of the boat. It was a man, wearing a pure black formal suit and even a half-top hat.
He was opening a notebook and taking notes in it from time to time.
"Why can he go up there?" Xifa pointed towards the deck of the 'Black Star'.
Other tourists asked the same questions to their guides and expressed their dissatisfaction tactfully.
"That's Mr Trollope."
Uqidi shrugged his shoulders: "He is special. He is one of the few people who has been allowed by the navy to work on the ship."
"Work?" Xifa looked at the guide curiously.
"Yes, work." Uchidi said softly, "Mr. Trollope is said to be a best-selling novel writer. He specializes in creating incredible stories."
"He came to Skye Island five years ago. Yes, he came here for the 'Shining Black Star'. In the past five years, he has boarded the ship many times. I dare say that there is no one on this island.
People know the 'black stars' better than he does."
Best-selling author? I do know one, and he is an extraordinary person... Xifa looked at the man on the deck and thought to himself, could this writer also be an extraordinary person?
Uchidi said again with a mysterious face: "Do you remember Harry? The little boy who scared you yesterday."
No, he can't scare me yet... Xifa nodded: "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Trollope is Harry's father. After he came to our island, he met Darlene. Darlene was a widow. Somehow, they got together and gave birth to Harry.
"
"But when Harry was almost one year old, the little boy suddenly disappeared. He was missing for two years and was only discovered when winter was about to begin last year."
"Where do you think Harry was found?"
Xifa said half-jokingly: "It can't be on the 'Black Star', right?"
Wuqidi's eyes suddenly became strange.
Xifa was startled: "Why, he was really found on this ship? How is this possible? Didn't you say that his father often boarded the ship for research, and there are navy guards here every day."
"If there was a baby on the ship, it wouldn't be discovered until two years later, right?"
Uchidi glanced at the black ship in front of him with a fearful look: "Here's the problem. Mr. Trollope spends at least three days a week on the ship, and there is a navy guard here every day."
"If there were children on the ship, they wouldn't have been able to find him. But Harry was missing for two years, and his mother, Darlene, went crazy looking for him."
"So when Harry was found on the boat, Darlene thought Trollope was hiding the child, which led to their relationship breaking up. As for Harry, none of us know how he spent the past two years.
, how did he survive on the ship?"
