The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 25 Pinocchio

Izzo looked at Pinocchio and nodded in agreement.

"My lord, can you give me the gold coin first?" Pinocchio begged.

Izzy thought for a while and asked:

"Why? I mean if you escape, I can't find you."

Pinocchio hurriedly said:

"No, I never lie. You can also go to my house. I want to give this bag of gold coins to my grandfather, and then I will take you to sea."

Izzy and Raymond looked at each other, which is understandable, after all, if he encounters a sea monster when he goes out to sea, he definitely wants to leave these gold coins to his family.

"Okay, then let's go to your house first."

Pinocchio said: "Well, but I have to go to the pharmacist first."

So Ize followed Pinocchio to the pharmacist's shop in the city.

Pinocchio said to the pharmacist: "Uncle Locke, please sell me two years of sweet urine medicine."

Locke was a little surprised: "Are you going to buy so many? This is a lot of money."

"How much? Uncle Locke." Pinocchio asked.

Locke thought for a while and said, "It costs 30 gold coins."

Pinocchio looked at Ize, and Ize immediately agreed. He took out 30 gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the pharmacist.

Charlie on the side thought that he is indeed a pharmacist, this is really a lucrative profession.

After everyone left the pharmacy.

Izzy couldn't help asking:
"Anyone in your family has sweet urine?"

"Well, my grandpa."

"That's why you are willing to take us out to sea in order to treat grandpa's illness, right?"

Pinocchio nodded. His grandfather got sick at the beginning of this year. In order to cure him, Pinocchio took out all his savings.

However, the medicines needed for sweet urine are very expensive. Even if Pinocchio is the captain, his savings are quickly emptied.

They even had to sell their house in the end.

Grandpa always said he was dying, but Pinocchio couldn't watch him die in pain.

Izzo and his party follow Pinocchio to his house.

It was a somewhat dilapidated wooden house with very little furniture inside.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Pinocchio held a lot of medicine for treating sweet urine.

A gray-haired, haggard-looking old man walked out of the room.

"My little Pinocchio, why did you come back at noon, and I thought you would stay with your crew until the evening?"

"Grandpa, this is medicine for you." Pinocchio said with a smile.

His grandfather was pleasantly surprised at first, and then asked with worried eyes:
"Where did you get so much money to buy medicine?"

Pinocchio pointed to Ize who was behind him, and said, "Grandpa, I want to travel a long way to help this nobleman. This is his commission for me."

"What can give so much commission?" His grandfather continued to ask.

Pinocchio hesitated a little, he didn't want to let his grandfather know that he was going to sea, so as not to worry his grandfather.But his grandfather taught him not to lie since he was a child, and he didn't want to lie to his grandfather.

Seeing that Pinocchio was in a bit of trouble, Izzy gave little Charlie a wink, and Charlie was smart enough to quickly understand what Izzy meant.

"Grandpa, don't worry, we need a captain to salvage tuna in the West Sea of ​​the Cabel Principality. Your grandson is very experienced, so we plan to hire him for a while." Charlie would not blush like Izzy when he lied.

The old man also believed it. After all, Xihai is too far away from Cannon City, so maybe it is really worth so much reward.

"Grandpa, I have some money left over after buying the medicine. You hide the money at home and buy more delicious food at home. Remember to take the medicine on time. I may not be able to come back in a short time." Pinocchio said Eyes are red.

In fact, he was also a little scared and reluctant. Maybe this was the last meeting with his grandfather.

Pinocchio was an abandoned baby when he was a child. Because the upper part of his face was scalded by boiling water and needed a lot of money for treatment, he was abandoned by his biological parents by the pier.

If he hadn't been picked up by a kind carpenter grandfather, he would have died 25 years ago.

The carpenter grandpa spent almost all of his savings to have his burns healed. His life was saved, but the shocking scars on his face could not be removed.

So the carpenter grandfather kindly made a wooden mask for him, and named it Pinocchio.

Pinocchio has always kept this kind of kindness in his heart, so when his grandfather got an incurable disease when he was old, he never thought of abandoning his grandfather.

This life was given by him in the first place. Even if he ventured out to sea this time, even if he really met the sea monster, he would not regret it.

After Pinocchio and his grandfather hugged and bid farewell, they took Ize and the others to the market to buy necessities for the long journey, as well as a large amount of coal for the ship.

"Have you ever sailed to the Mesore Empire before?" Izzy asked.

"I've been there a few times."

"Then how long will it take us to get there?"

"If everything goes well and there are no storms or sea monsters, it will take about two months." Pinocchio replied.

"It took so long! Your Highness, it seems that I have to prepare some food for you." Charlie said, he knew that Ize was a picky eater, and he definitely didn't like the fast food on the boat, so he could only buy more in the city Some dried meats and shelf-stable fruit.

Ize nodded with a smile. It was the first time he had sailed on the sea for such a long time, and he was a little excited when he thought about it.

Raymond was more concerned about the safety of the voyage, and had been inquiring about the Kraken before boarding the ship.

However, the answers obtained from the residents of the island are very inconsistent, and everyone insists on their own opinions.

It is said that the sea monster is more powerful than the dragon, which can set off a storm on the sea and overwhelm the ship.

It is said that the Kraken is actually the King Squid or the Sperm Whale.

Some people also say that the sea monster is actually a ghost on the sea, which specializes in misleading people to lose their way at sea.

……

After listening to various versions of Raymond, I came to the conclusion that no one has ever seen the real face of this siren.They are all guessing in their minds and spreading rumors.

Raymond thought that he was a 5-star knight, and Izzy was a 5-star magician. Even if the two really met the siren, they would definitely have the strength to fight.

Once ready to board, Pinocchio fired coal to start the steam engine, and his little steamboat set sail as scheduled.

When his boat left the port, many fishermen and businessmen stood in front of the pier to watch the excitement. Some people in the crowd admired it, while others ridiculed and laughed at Ize and the others, thinking that they were looking for death.

Everyone has different opinions, and Pinocchio's boat sailed south and gradually disappeared from people's sight.

……

Inside the royal palace of the Cabel Principality.

The letter Izer wrote in Rome last time has been delivered to the king and queen.

They haven't seen their son for several months, and they are worried and miss him.

Queen Juliet suffers from insomnia several nights a week, and only sleeps more solidly during the days when she receives a letter from her son reporting her safety.

Izzy also mentioned in the letter that he asked his mother to help take care of Cinderella and Anne in his palace.

Juliet did as well.

Cinderella and Annie often stood on the high ground to watch, and they were looking forward to Izzy's return every day.
