Chapter Twenty-Seven: Murder Strikes in the Night

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The so-called spice candy in the new world is essentially a very sweet substance, and from the outside, this sugar is mottled and sticky, and it is not the refined monocrystalline white sugar that people in the old world are familiar with. Due to the complexity of the composition and the similarity of unpurified jaggery, it can be roughly called brown sugar or brown sugar, which is a sweet substance between white sugar and molasses.

Rich in non-sugary ingredients such as natural pigments and fiber, this spice sugar has a high water content, and the flavor and texture also vary subtly depending on the origin of the sugar, and it is said that some high-quality sugars can even taste the fruity flavor of the region where they are produced.

It was difficult to suppress his curiosity, and when he opened the box and inspected the goods, Luo Zhengdao tasted the taste of this sugar, and his personal feeling was good, not as bland and sweet as the refined white sugar of the old world. The sweet aftertaste, mixed with a little bitterness, is faintly fruity and floral, and the multiple flavors are superimposed, and the texture is indeed quite unique, and it must be added as a spice to dishes and snacks to taste, and the effect will be slightly better than using white sugar.

"Is there so little sugar?"

Watching the sailors roll down more than a dozen large wooden barrels of sugar from the gangplank, Luo Zhengdao touched the back of his head and was a little confused, the common unit of measurement in the new world, the volume of a barrel can be converted into three boxes of zero, and the sugar here is only about fifty boxes.

Hearing this, she couldn't bear this ignorant young master anymore, Vena snorted coldly and said:

"It's a lot, and a few plantations near Ambon have only half a month's output!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao blinked his eyes twice, and suddenly remembered that he saw those sugarcane plantations on Ambon Island with stems slightly thicker than his thumb and a plant height of only about three meters, and exclaimed:

"Oh, it seems that the variety of sugarcane is not good, and the yield can't go up!"

In fact, Luo Zhengdao is still too layman, the main crux of the low sugar yield of the New World plantation is the problem of the processing process, but it has little to do with the sugarcane variety, and the bagasse and molasses containing a lot of sugar are also used to ferment zuò rum, which is not a waste.

The dozen or so barrels of sugar waiting to be inspected on the dock were tantamount to a group of junkies who saw High Purity No. 4 in front of them, and the goblins screamed with joy and pounced on a thick sugar cube larger than her size and gnawed it unscrupulously.

The goblins have always had a soft spot for sweeteners such as sugar cane and honey, and it is the goblin's racial specialty to be good at raising bees to collect flowers and make nectar, but the buzzing insects also have to eat! There is not much left for the owner, and it is very reasonable for the goblins who love the house and the black to learn from humans to supplement the lack of honey with candy. Recently, due to the situation of the goblin pursuit fleet sweeping the sea of stars, the merchant fleet that shuttled between the Sea of Storms and the main 6 disappeared, and now it is impossible to buy goods with money. The trade route in the 6 directions of the main big 6 was blocked, so that the little goblins had to reduce the quota of daily sugar eating, and Ding Dong ate candy so happily, not just because of greed!

Relying on the face of those dozens of boxes of candy to be big enough, the pirate fleet knocked on the door of the fairy garden, and Luo Zhengdao finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Drawing on the experience of not cherishing the time of the previous port calls and being chased by the goblin fleet, this painful lesson prompted Luo Zhengdao to make up his mind that he could no longer hang out and watch the excitement, and pull a ticket of people to sweep the goods in the market as soon as possible, and purchase cold items and other daily necessities! No matter what fruit wine, distilled spirits, fabrics, blankets, and alchemy items, all the necessities he could think of were cleared, and there was no need to worry too much about the price or something, until the empty space on the two ships and his own space bags were full, Luo Zhengdao still couldn't stop enough.

"Will, why are you in such a hurry?"

Vina Dubov expressed incomprehension of Luo Zhengdao's insecure eagerness, after all, the goblin fleet chased and killed several times without causing any serious losses, it was nothing more than being chased away all the way, she didn't think that Luo Zhengdao's hamster moving preparations had an urgent need from the real world.

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao stretched out three fingers and said:

"Can I not be in a hurry? It's been three times, we've been blocked in the harbor by the goblin fleet three times, and you think we've had such good luck breaking through every time? ”

Whether it is in the old world of high-rise buildings and traffic, or in the new world of war and magic, Luo Zhengdao has never been a particularly lucky person, since he was a child, he has never won a consolation prize when he bought lottery tickets. Because of this, Luo Zhengdao is the same as the famous sister who is on the top of the classmate, in addition to not having the kind of stallion qualification to open the Crystal Palace, people who are unlucky must learn to be good at thinking, and at the same time their action must not be bad, otherwise they will be killed by their own bad luck sooner or later.

The way of life of adventurers is to lick the blood with knives, and although Vina Dubov has been washing her hands for a long time, her standard of judging danger has not changed.

If you want to keep all the risks within the safety limits, then the best thing to do is to never go out, but that is also inevitable when people sit at home and misfortune flies from the sky. To put it simply, the thinking circuits of the half-elf beauty and the otaku Luo Zhengdao are not in the same dimension at all, one is a realist and the other is an idealist.

After pondering for a while, Vina Dubov tilted her head to observe Luo Zhengdao's facial muscles becoming stiff, and said tentatively:

"So you have a premonition of danger?"

Hearing this, he glanced at Vina angrily, and Luo Zhengdao muttered:

"I don't need a hunch, the Frozen Sea can be regarded as a natural barrier, the goblins really want to kill me, the last chance to attack is here, wait for us to run to the Sea of Death. According to what you said, it's a dead place where no number of warships can't be used, and the greenskins can't help me, so they will definitely ......"

Nodding knowingly, the half-elf beauty took over and said:

“…… So the goblins will choose to kill you before you finally slip away, and they will kill you no matter what, right? ”

"Exactly, we can't stay in the Fairy Garden for too long to be safe, it's not very safe here!"

After that, Luo Zhengdao, who already had a bit of a sense of the shadow of a bow and a snake, raised his eyes and subconsciously looked at the surrounding scenery, as if the goblins might jump out of a corner to chase him at any time, but he didn't see the half-elf beauties all laughing and crying. It should be said that Luo Zhengdao's inferential evidence and logical reasoning can stand, and Vina Dubov felt that there was no need for him to make a fuss, so she immediately nodded, turned around and bargained with a few goblins who came to settle the payment

The cold wind with goose feather snow flakes blew over the Aetheric Sea, and the layers of white icebergs in the far and near directions were reflected by the magnificent and changeable aurora in the direction of the sky, showing a kind of enchanting beauty and faintly revealing a solemn atmosphere.

"Can you be sure that Will Needham is here?"

The voice exuded a gloomy and cold atmosphere, and the vague and strange words fell on the ears of the listeners, and they couldn't help but be creepy, as if countless insects were crawling on their backs. For this, the self-proclaimed goblin commander Modo Blackwater was not exempt, and he forcibly resisted the negative emotions that seemed to be disgusting, and said in a deep voice:

"Well, this is his portrait, remember to bring the head of the target task to hand in the task, and then you can get that item."

Beneath the ornate hood covered with arcane imagery and gold filigree embroidery, the mysterious man nodded slightly, and said in a low and gloomy voice:

"Okay, I'll be back, and until then, you'd better have prepared what I want."

Seeing the mysterious figure disappear into the hazy shadows nearby, a goblin staff officer looked disgusted and said to Modo Blackwater:

"Your Excellency, I hate this guy, the smell of his body makes me more disgusting than those hairless monkeys."

Unable to suppress the expression of disgust, Modo Heishui touched the beard on his chin and said with a sneer:

"I hate this filthy guy too, so bear with me for the time being, if it can still serve the Empire!"

Relying on the powerful infantry legion and the wolf rangers, the territory of the Second Goblin Empire is concentrated in the main big 6 and its surrounding areas, affected by historical factors, the goblins set foot in the sea of stars is already a matter after the destruction of the Bright Dynasty, leaving too little time for the Goblin Navy Exhibition. Therefore, in the face of the vastness of the Seven Seas, even if they are ambitious, there is a bleakness that some heroes are useless.

Looking at the pursuit fleet of Modo Blackwater, who is rampant in the sea of stars, it is because he has not met an opponent of equal strength who he has killed along the way. To put it mildly, the Goblin Fleet won the title in a competition in which only one player participated, and it doesn't mean that the Goblin Navy is strong enough to defeat the Challenger, except for proof that they are lucky. Up to now, the navy of Yaling and the elves has always maintained a cautious posture of standing by and watching, and is still waiting to see how the situation changes. Except for the Yaling fleet that saved Luo Zhengdao's life, it can also be classified as a normal friction between the two sides, the two major naval powers have not openly torn their faces with the Goblin Empire, and the three sides are still in a hostile but not warful state of cold war.

The ambition of a newly rising power cannot be concealed, and it is true that Yaling and the elves are very interested in fighting for the control of the main 6, but the problem is that no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will not be able to drive 6 to the ground. Even if we were to try it out during the time of year when the Mana tide was flooding, the window of time provided by such a fleeting moment would be too limited to help.

The Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation are the old enemies of the goblins, and the most likely strategy for these two opponents is to support agents to wrestle with the Goblin Empire, and those human exiled nobles are naturally the best alternate agents.

The Great Goblin Commander Modo Blackwater is an outlier among goblin generals, otherwise he would not have stood out from his many colleagues vying for naval positions, and has gone from a landlubber in the 6th Army to an aristocratic admiral. Unlike the idiot goblin generals who have a smooth brain sulcus so smooth that they can only chant battle slogans of "Long live the Empire", "Long live the Emperor", and "Long live the Senate", line up their soldiers in neat formations, and raise waves of white-knuckle charges at enemy positions, Modo Heishui has his own understanding and knowledge of this war, and it is for this reason that Modo Heishui is extremely energetic in pursuing Luo Zhengdao.

Modo Blackwater decided early on that he could not underestimate the Will who had the title of Earl of Fortune and seemed to have no strength at all. Needham, even if he could only flee like a lost dog under the force of the goblin fleet, but he could escape every time, could he? Let that guy arrive at the territory of the Yaling Empire or the Elven Federation, these two levels of power may at any time provide a large amount of military assistance to support his counterattack on the main 6 out of their own interests. In any case, this is not good news for the Second Goblin Empire, and the early eradication of Will Needham is the most urgent task, for which the Goblin Commander can make a deal with the Devil, and now it only wants its worries to be unnecessary.
