Chapter 1126: The Sea of Amber
"It's a pity that this thing can't be eaten, otherwise I would have grilled it and it would have been delicious. Jiang Xiaobai laughed.
Hei Gu was in no mood to joke, if he didn't bring Jiang Xiaobai to the Ghost Emperor for a day, it would be difficult for him to settle down in his heart for a day.
"Let's keep going. ”
The two of them continued on their way, and until they came out of the Loma Trail, they were not in any danger again. Leaving the barren Loma Ancient Road, you will be greeted by a lush green. The tall trees pointed at the sky like sharp swords, and their crowns were like clouds, covering the sky and the sun, casting patches of green shade, and even the wind blowing in front of them carried a hint of coolness.
"What kind of place is this?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
Black Bone said, "Do you smell the salty smell of the wind?"
Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then nodded, he really smelled a faint salty and wet smell in the air.
"We're almost at the beach. Black Bone said: "Not far ahead is the Sea of Amber!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Then won't it take us long to reach Tubak City." ”
"Exactly. Black Bone said: "We board the ferry, and if the wind is favorable, we can board Tubak City in less than a day." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's finally almost here." When I see your Ghost Emperor, I can leave the Ghost Cave. ”
The two of them traveled all the way, and they didn't meet anyone on the Loma Trail, but the Sea of Amber was an important place of trade, and supplies from all over the world would be transported to Tubak City by sea, so it was an important distribution center for goods, with many restaurants, shops, and people on the shore.
Hei Gu took Jiang Xiaobai into an inconspicuous storefront, there were not many diners here, judging from the dress of those diners, they were not rich and noble people, they should be sailors on the ship, so they could only eat some cheap meals here.
It's not that Hei Gu has no money, he is worried that there will be many people in the big restaurant and bring them unnecessary trouble.
Sitting down, Heigu asked for two bowls of the most ordinary noodles. After eating, he took Jiang Xiaobai and left.
"We need a boat. "Black Bone Road.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Where can I find the boat." ”
"It's very simple, just give money. "But I'm not going to charter a ship, that would be too ostentatious, my idea is that we can take a cargo ship bound for Tubak City." ”
"Whatever you want. Jiang Xiaobai said.
Hei Gu took Jiang Xiaobai into a deep alley, and then stopped.
"Didn't you go to find a boat?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"You have to do some preparation. ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw several drunks staggering over. The black bone figure flashed, quickly knocked the drunks unconscious, and then stripped off the clothes on their bodies and threw them to Jiang Xiaobai.
"Put it on. ”
Jiang Xiaobai changed into this outfit and said, "Why?"
"Hide people's eyes, you're too conspicuous. ”
After speaking, the black bone dropped a copper ingot and left with Jiang Xiaobai.
The two soon arrived at the harbor, where a sign was held to recruit sailors. They sailed far and wide, and they could encounter all kinds of dangers along the way, and they would lose a number of sailors, so many ships would recruit sailors here when they docked.
Hei Gu walked over, exchanged a few words with the person who recruited sailors, talked about the price, and then called Jiang Xiaobai over.
"We both got on board. ”
The man looked at Jiang Xiaobai and shook his head, "He doesn't seem to have much strength, and if he wants to get on the boat, he can only give half of his salary." ”
"No, don't look at him thin, but he has a lot of strength. "Black Bone doesn't care about the money, he just doesn't want others to see anything abnormal, and the sailors who come here to find a living will everyone be willing to spend money for their own interests.
"If you don't agree, we'll ask someone else, you're not the only one here. ”
"Alright, okay, so be it. But if I find out you're lazy, I'll tell you, you'll not have a penny by then. ”
Hei Gu pulled Jiang Xiaobai to stand behind the man, the man had already recruited a few sailors, he recruited seven or eight more people, and after recruiting enough people, he accepted the sign and boarded the ship with the newly recruited sailors.
The cargo ship was large, and the holds were stacked with cargo. There is no mechanization in the ghost cave space, so their ship still relies on manpower to sail on the ocean.
Jiang Xiaobai and Heigu were all assigned to the cabin below to paddle, which was the hardest and most tiring work. However, this result is more in line with the black bones, and there is no need to come out and show your face when you paddle below.
Sailing, the cargo ship left the port. Jiang Xiaobai and Heigu were paddling in the cabin, the wind was blowing, and the sails were blown up, sailing quickly on the sea.
After less than half a day of sailing, an order to stop sailing suddenly came from above. Soon after, all the sailors were called to the deck.
Hei Gu and Jiang Xiaobai expected that something was going to happen, and thought to themselves that they wished it wasn't for them.
All the people on board were gathered on deck, and even the owner of the ship, the fat guy, emerged from the cabin.
A group of armored soldiers boarded the ship, and a leader walked up to the owner.
"Ordered to search! The sea has not been very quiet lately. ”
The owner of the ship said with a smile on his face: "My ship is full of legal materials, and there is absolutely no contraband." ”
"It doesn't matter what you said, I'm going to search it. ”
With a wave of the leader's hand, his men entered the cabin and began to search. After a short time, the armor soldiers returned to the deck and reported the search to the leader.
The owner of the ship smiled: "General, I didn't lie to you, I am a businessman with legitimate methods." If nothing else, please ask the general to withdraw from my ship. There are still people waiting to receive the goods in the imperial city, and they dare not delay the delivery date. ”
The leader didn't seem to want to leave, his eyes scanning the sailors on deck, and finally his gaze fell on Black Bone.
"Mr. Black Bone?"
The leader let out a "huh" and immediately walked over.
"It's really you!"
This leader's name is "Sado", and he is a middle- and lower-ranking general in the navy of the Oni Kingdom. He knew Black Bone.
"Sado, I didn't expect to meet here. ”
Now, Black Bone has no choice but to admit his identity.
"Mr. Black Bone, why are you like this?" Sado looked at Black Bone in tattered clothes, his face puzzled.
"It's a long story, so I won't talk about it for now. Black Bone said: "You go on official business." ”
Sado said: "How can I let you stay in such a place!"
