Chapter 177: Elysium Island
The boat drifted in the sea for about four hours, and it was almost as dark as the fog gradually dissipated.
The two ships of the man in black were still in sight.
Xu Xian glanced at Xiao Qing, but seeing Xiao Qing's confident face, Xu Xian knew that even if there was fog before, it would not be difficult for Xiao Qing to drive the ship to keep up with the ships in front.
"Brother-in-law, it seems that I expected it right, we didn't lose it." Xiaoqing smiled and said to Xu Xian.
"It's going to be dark soon, and you might be in trouble." Xu Xian said.
Xiaoqing smiled, the smile made Xu Xian feel very appropriate, it seemed that there was an island from a distance, Xiaoqing smiled: "Brother-in-law, isn't that the overseas island you are looking for?" This island is very hidden. ”
Xu Xian didn't say anything.
The boats approached the island little by little, although it was already sunset at this time, Xu Xian found that there were still many ships around the island, and it seemed that there were many people doing business here.
"Don't go ashore from the front, let's go elsewhere, don't startle the snake."
Xu Xian looked at the direction of the dock from a distance, and the dock was already lit up, because the sea was very dark at this time, and there was no such a small boat on the shore at all.
The people on the dock were all dressed in black, just like those who landed on the shore, only their eyes were exposed, Xu Xian and Xiaoqing did not go ashore from the dock, but found a cliff that looked precipitous to dock, Xu Xian said: "How can the boat hide?" ”
"Brother-in-law go ashore first, just leave these things to me." After Xiaoqing finished speaking, just using a small means, she let the waves roll the boat up to a high place, she smiled, "What a coincidence, we just have to wait until the tide rises when we go back." ”
Xu Xian smiled bitterly, he thought to himself, following a sister-in-law who knows magic to come to this kind of place is extraordinary.
……
……
When they went ashore, they found that the island had houses only in the direction of the sunset side, and the other side looked lifeless.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to investigate the whole island first?" Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask when he saw that Xu Xian was still observing the island in the dark from a high place.
"Let's wait for dawn, let's follow the example of those men in black, find a black cloth to cover ourselves, so that we can blend into the island, as long as we don't speak, no one should notice." Xu Xian said.
Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Then brother-in-law wait for a while, I'll go see if there are any clothes hanging out to dry......"
Xu Xian wanted to stop Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing had already entered the darkness in a flash, Xu Xian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, he knew that when he came out with Xiaoqing, everything would be arranged by Xiaoqing for him, and he really didn't have to worry about it.
Not long after, Xiaoqing came back, still holding two sets of black clothes in her hands, and she smiled: "Brother-in-law, it's really a coincidence, I found two bodies, and they seem to fit very well......"
This will make Xu Xiandu speechless, and now Xiaoqing can do whatever he wants, but he still has to pretend to be confused.
After changing their clothes, the two finally entered the human settlement on the island.
The human settlements on this island are also very lively, although at night, there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, the sea breeze is very strong, these lanterns are made of wood, and the lamps inside are not ordinary candles, it seems to be made of lamp oil and wick, which is also difficult to extinguish.
Xu Xian went to the side of the road to take a general observation, and couldn't help muttering: "It can't be that oil has been exploited on the seabed, right?" ”
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"It's okay, let's move on." Xu Xian didn't pay attention to the lanterns for lighting anymore, and when he walked into the walled city, he found that there were people in black everywhere, and there were also people selling things on the roadside, some with metal utensils, some with some items from the sea, and even gold and silver directly placed there, as if they wanted to buy something.
Here, anything can be used as a tool of exchange, and even someone directly ties several girls together as if they were going to be packaged and sold.
"Brother-in-law, which one are you talking about?" After Xiaoqing looked at it for a while, she couldn't help but ask Xu Xiandao.
Xu Xian shook his head and said: "Although the people of the Sea Clan should appear here, there will also be a lot of middlemen, after seeing that some people exchange for good things, they will also directly exchange them for gold and silver, this is actually a hodgepodge of markets, but in such a place, will no one force to buy and sell, or even rob?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be an argument in the distance, and several men in black fought over a little detail in the transaction.
None of the black-clothed people next to him went to watch, and everyone had to hold their purses tightly to prevent themselves from being robbed.
Only Xu Xian took Xiaoqing to approach there, and Xu Xian wanted to see what was going on.
After approaching, Xu Xian also saw clearly that it was the two groups of people who had a conflict because they traded an East Pearl with a man in black, and both sides took out copper utensils to exchange, and in order to exchange for the East Pearl, the two sides fought directly.
Suddenly, an old man's voice came: "On the island of bliss, you dare to be presumptuous, this is looking for death!" ”
After speaking, more than a dozen black-clothed people rushed out of the darkness, and the martial arts of these black-clothed people seemed to be very high, and they controlled the two sides of the fight in a few clicks, and a young man's voice came: "Spare your life!" ”
"Spare your life? Whoever is presumptuous here will all die! Throw people into the sea! The men in black lifted up the two gangs of people who were fighting, about six or seven people, and soon disappeared into the night.
Xu Xian frowned, and he muttered in his heart: "How is order maintained here?" Is there any person in power on this island, or what kind of organization? ”
The black-clothed man who sold Dongzhu before is still waiting for someone to make an exchange, and there will be people who will ask, but order has been restored.
"Brother-in-law, shall we continue to look for it?" Xiaoqing asked.
"Don't look for the Sea Clan, first understand the transaction process here." Xu Xian said a word, and the two also left the place where the conflict had occurred before.
The island town was still very dark, Xu Xian walked along the gravel road for a while, and there was a place with brilliant lights, which seemed to be a wine shop or an inn, and a woman could already be seen waving a handkerchief under the window of the small building in the distance.
"Brother-in-law, what is that place?" Xiaoqing blinked, as if knowingly asked.
"It's a green building." Xu Xian said, "For men, where is the nest of paradise, no wonder this place is called the island of paradise, since there is a green building here, there will inevitably be a gambling house, as well as various ways of trade, if you are penniless here, you can only jump into the sea in the end...... There are a lot of opportunities here, but it's also a very dangerous place. ”
Xiaoqing asked, "Then shall we go in and have a look?" ”
"No need, let's walk around and get a general idea of the situation here." Xu Xian said.
