Chapter 49: Ashore

Standing on the back of the old immortal, Zhao Qi saw the ship in front of him from a distance, and hurriedly put the old immortal away, while his mouth kept muttering.

"It's the first time this has been, why are there more people walking further east?" After Zhao Qi took the old immortal back to the Spirit Beast Garden, he gave himself a stealth duel, and quietly flew over the ship that appeared in front of him.

……

Since separating from the mermaid clan, Zhao Qi has been on the road for two days, just to see the "people of the sea" in the mermaid's mouth. So Zhao Qi didn't care where he was, so he went all the way to the east.

But two days have passed, and I haven't seen anything strange, but I have seen a lot of ships nearby, and the number of ships means that there are many people in the nearby waters, which means that we will arrive on land tomorrow.

Land? Zhao Qi seems to have not walked for a long time, of course, those two small islands are not counted.

"I've been looking for so long and haven't found it, so forget it for the time being, and if I don't go up to find some supplies, I guess they will die of hunger for basketball."

After the basketball and gray heads have evolved, they have the sufficient energy supply of the Spirit Beast Garden, and they don't eat much in terms of food, but this is not much compared to their huge stature at this time.

The old immortal, the gray head, the tiger is okay to say, the ocean is full of their food, but basketball is not good, as a Tibetan mastiff, it is a standard carnivore, obviously, fish do not belong to the type it likes, and Zhao Qi purchased a large amount of food before entering the sea, at this time it is about to bottom. As for the two sand monks, Zhao Qi ignored them gorgeously.

After making up his mind, Zhao Qi urged the flying sword under his feet and quickly headed into the distance.

In less than ten minutes, Zhao Qi had already seen the coastline from a distance.

This is a large dock, and the sea area next to the pier is full of large and small ships, and many dock workers are busy. Judging by the color of the skin of these people, it should be European.

"Huh? Have I been running at sea for so long and still haven't reached Africa? Zhao Qi flew over the dock incognito. After finding a place where no one was around, he withdrew the stealth execution.

It's not a town or a village, but rather a gathering place attached to this pier. And from the characteristics of their dialogue and so on, Zhao Qi finally heard that this was Portuguese.

Zhao Qi took out a huge world map from the space and looked at it carefully.

After a while, it was determined that I was in the westernmost part of Europe, Lisbon, Portugal.

And just south of Portugal is the Africa that Zhao Qi never forgets.

"Portugal? Isn't that just near the Mediterranean? How did you walk in the sea for so long to get to Portugal? ”

Portugal is actually not far from Zhao Qi's departure place, the United Kingdom, according to Zhao Qi's speed, how can he go to the vicinity of Africa at this time, but Zhao Qi is completely aimless in the sea. That's why it's been so long to come this way.

"Just to see what the Mediterranean is like." Zhao Qi closed the map in his hand, left the dock behind him, and headed towards the city of Lisbon.

Zhao Qi's goal this time is very clear, that is, to follow Portugal all the way to the east, until the Mediterranean, as an inland sea, there are many countries around it, and all of them are powerful countries. For example, Spain, France. Italy, Turkey, Egypt and many more.

And these countries have long been the objects that Zhao Qi wants to visit, and after he has traveled all these countries. Basically, it's not far from China.

Lisbon is not far from the previous pier, only about 12 kilometers away, and Zhao Qi has arrived in Lisbon after a few minutes of slow flight.

As the capital of Portugal, Zhao Qi, who is not very good at geography and history, actually doesn't know much about it. The only one who knows is the world-famous football club of Sporting Lisbon, and the only way to know this football club is because there is a Ronaldo in it.

However, Lisbon is not only famous for its Cristiano Ronaldo, it is an industrially developed city. It is the richest region in Portugal and the world, with a GDP per capita much higher than the average GDP of the European Union, making it a paradise for the super-rich, and the most beautiful bathing beach on the Atlantic coast, receiving more than a million tourists a year.

Walking through the streets of Lisbon, Zhao Qi's Oriental face did not cause any commotion. After wandering around for a while, Zhao Qi found a hotel and was ready to rest here, this time he had been spending on the back of the old immortal, Zhao Qi had already missed the softness of the bed.

The scale of this hotel is not small, and the service staff in the lobby is also very beautiful, but when Zhao Qi took out his passport, he was instantly dumbfounded.

In addition to a pile of pounds and yuan, there is not a dime of euros in his sleeve.

"Sir, is there anything I can help me with?" The reception staff in the lobby said to Zhao Qi in fluent English. Lisbon is a famous tourist city, people from all over the world can speak, although these reception staff may not speak the language of any place, but they still understand the international lingua franca English.

"Hello, I forgot to exchange euros, can I use pounds?" Zhao Qi said to the reception staff at the front desk.

"Sir, the pound sterling is not available in many parts of Lisbon, for the sake of your trip, it is advisable to exchange some euros or Portuguese escudos." The front desk said to Zhao Qi with a smile, and his attitude was very good.

"So where can I redeem it?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Two hundred meters from the door and turn right, there is a bank that can exchange foreign currency, and it can help you."

"Oh, thanks, then I'll go exchange some euros before I come." Zhao Qi nodded politely to the front desk and turned around to leave here. And at this moment, the front desk attendant stopped Zhao Qi again.

"Anything else?" Zhao Qi stopped, turned around and asked.

"Sir, you don't know how to speak Portuguese, do you?" The front desk lady's face finally changed from that unchanged smile.

"Well, I don't know Portuguese."

"Sir, you are a tourist, and if you don't know Portuguese, it is very troublesome in Lisbon, do you need a translator and guide?" The front desk looked at Zhao Qi with a very expectant look.

And after listening to the words of the front desk, Zhao Qi also understood what she meant. Lisbon is a big tourist city, and there are many tourists coming and going. However, Portuguese is not as popular as English after all, so these front desks can also have another income, that is, translation.

Zhao Qi was going to have a good time in Lisbon for a few days, and after hearing her suggestion, he also felt that it was very good, so he nodded, after all, this front desk is also a big beauty.

After seeing Zhao Qi nodding, the beauty at the front desk was also very excited, and raised her right hand to wave to the other side of the hall.

When Zhao Qi was wondering what was going on, a somewhat small voice reached Zhao Qi's ears.

"Hello sir. My name is Bailey. ”

This is a thin little boy, about 1.4 meters tall, although the clothes on his body are very shabby, but they are rinsed cleanly, and he looks very energetic, and this little boy does not look like a traditional European, but more like Asians.

"Sir, he's little Bailey, who grew up in Lisbon since he was a child. Was a great kid. The front desk said to Zhao Qi.

Although the tour guide has changed from a beauty to a child, Zhao Qi has nothing to disappoint.

……

Pele's salary is 40 euros a day, which is quite low in Lisbon, where the rich are crowded and the level of consumption is extremely high. Zhao Qi had no objections. After thanking the front desk, he walked out of the hotel door with little Bailey.

"Sir, I don't know what to call you?" Little Bailey wanted to help Zhao Qi carry his luggage, but he didn't find Zhao Qi's luggage after going around for a long time.

"My name is Zhao Qi. You can call me Qi. Zhao Qi said with a smile, I still like this little guy who came out to make money at such a young age, and part of the reason may be that it looks like a Chinese.

"Zhao Qi? Sir, you ...... Are you Chinese? After chanting Zhao Qi's name a few times. Little Bailey's face showed a hint of excitement.

"Yes, I'm Chinese."

"Ah, great, Mr. Qi, I'm also Chinese." Little Bailey immediately cheered when he heard that Zhao Qi was also Chinese.

"It turns out that you are also Chinese, I thought you just looked a little like Chinese." Zhao Qi is also very happy to meet compatriots in a foreign country, although this compatriot is relatively young.

After chatting carefully with Little Bailey for a long time, Zhao Qi also knew some things about Little Bailey.

Little Bailey's father was a standard Chinese who came to Europe with the heat wave of going abroad to work in the early years, worked as a dock worker in Lisbon, and after a long time, married a local girl and settled in Lisbon.

So little Bailey is a mixed race, but little Bailey's father always thinks of himself as a Chinese, so little Bailey can speak Chinese in addition to Portuguese and English.

may be because of the overwork when he was young, little Bailey's father's health is not as good as year after year, and he was already sick at the beginning of last year, which caused little Bailey, who was still in school, to come out to work and make money.

Little Bailey's body is weak, and he can't do any heavy work, so he was introduced to do the work of a tour guide, because Little Bailey is smarter, and people are also very diligent, so he also took a lot of tips, and now half of the family's income is earned by Little Bailey.

Seeing that the little Bailey in front of him was not affected by the hardships of life at all, and after rushing to communicate with his fellow countryman about various things in China, Zhao Qi liked this optimistic and positive child even more, and thought that he must give this poor family a little more help before leaving. I don't have much else, but I still don't lack money. (To be continued......)
