Chapter 252: The Oak Tavern
Raymond led the little girl of the Feather Clan out of the Hydra Chamber of Commerce.
After thinking about it, he still threw a cloak for her to wear, so as not to make her too eye-catching.
This girl actually takes a closer look, her facial features are still very exquisite, there is a feeling of a pink carved jade porcelain doll, with her beautiful blue feathers, she looks very good. Probably, if it grows for a few more years, when the body grows up, it may not be said to bring disaster to the country and the people, but at least it can be regarded as a beauty billet at the level of the country and the city.
"Okay, now that there's no one, you can tell me about the payment you just promised me."
The two were walking on the street, and Raymond opened his mouth lazily.
This evil lord trades more than 10,000 slaves a day, and he saves one, but can't save all; If you save it for a while, you can't save a lifetime.
He doesn't think he's a peerless villain, but he's not the kind of good person whose heart is overflowing.
"Just now I heard you ask that boss if you want a seventh-order dragon crystal..."
The little girl spoke very calmly, giving people a feeling of 'old-fashioned', "You can't buy that kind of thing in a trading house." Dragon Crystal has always been a scarce material, and high-level potions and alchemists are in great demand, and even if they do, they will definitely not end up in the market. Now, except for Dragon Island, it is difficult to find a lone dragon in other seas. And I happen to know where there is a lone seventh-order dragon! ”
Raymond knows Dragon Island.
In the game, this is one of the best maps in the Everfree Sea. Dragon Island is a collective name for an archipelago of waters... There are all kinds of dragon-like creatures in that sea area from the 6th order to the super rank, wurm, pure-blooded dragon, ancient dragon... Earth dragons, flying dragons, water dragons... Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Blue Dragon, Crystal Dragon...
The dragon species that still exist in the world can be found in almost all the waters of Dragon Island.
However, anyone who really wants to go to Dragon Island to hunt a giant dragon to peel the dragon crystal is absolutely crazy. The dragon holds a grudge and hates humanity very much. In that kind of place, whoever dares to hunt the giant dragon will definitely cause a group of roars, alarming those super-level dragons in the core of Dragon Island, even if it is a demigod powerhouse, it is impossible for them to come out alive!
So, Raymond is definitely not going to hit the attention of that ghost place.
But now that he heard the news of a lonely dragon, how happy was he? Now the [Dragon Hunting] Elixir of the "Dragon Slaying Sequence" Sequence 5 is only short of this seventh-order dragon crystal, and he will not let it go easily no matter what.
He knew that the possibility of wanting to buy Long Jing was almost zero, so he just asked casually, but he didn't expect to be listened to by this little girl.
Raymond became interested and asked, "Oh? Where's the dragon? ”
The little girl said directly: "It's in an abyss crypt eight thousand nautical miles south of the Grull Sea. ”
"Isn't it the depths of your pure Mao clan's territory?"
Raymond squinted his eyes and said faintly: "You don't want to say that only you know that place, and then you need me to send you back, and you take me again, right?" ”
His expression seemed to be able to speak: I saw through your little tricks, scheming girl.
“...”
The little girl frowned slightly, obviously she meant that.
Raymond was not fooled at all, and said, "Then you draw the nautical chart of that place, and I will find it myself." ”
"The sea in that place is so complicated that you can't find it even if I draw it."
The little girl paused, and said matter-of-factly: "What's more, without me leading the way, you wouldn't have been able to get there alive." ”
Nonsense!
Of course, Raymond knew that eight thousand nautical miles south from here was the hinterland of the Pure Mao Clan, where there were many high-level Pure Mao Clans, and legend had it that they were particularly hostile to humans. Don't look at the jubilation of these pirates' recent plunder, but they are all on the edge, if they really dare to go to the hinterland of the pure Mao clan, the "Endless Seven Emperors" may not be able to come out alive.
Going deep into that kind of place is about as dangerous for humans as diving headlong into a "nightmare ghost".
You are a little girl, and you actually fooled labor and management to send them to death?
The sea area in the game is considered a "barbarian land" in the eyes of players, and those high-level pure Mao tribes are similar to cannibals, and a few sticks can hammer the intruders back to the city.
Raymond's face twitched, and he instantly felt that he had been fooled, and said with a pout: "So... I'll save you, and the satisfactory reward you said is just such a fluttering sentence? ”
The little girl said with a serious face: "I promised to take you there, and I will definitely take you there!" Besides, if you need Dragon Crystal, I'll have someone help you hunt that head of the Gathering. ”
"Even if you are really an important descendant of the Yu Clan, I have no interest in getting into trouble with you."
Raymond shook his head, feeling that he was being put on the spot by a little girl, very unhappy, "Forget it, I didn't spend any money anyway, you can find a way to leave by yourself." ”
What a dragon, what is it to ask someone to help, to put it bluntly, I still want to fool myself and take her back to the hinterland of the pure Mao clan. Why is the little girl so dishonest now, she comes with a lie. It's still a seventh-order dragon, and she can't lead the way yet...
The little girl always looked calm, and she couldn't see the slightest impatience. When she heard Raymond's words, she just said a few words lightly, "I didn't lie to you." ”
“...”
Raymond rolled his eyes, and he walked off on his own.
Tens of thousands of slaves were sold every day in this evil lord, and he didn't have the compassion to take them away and send them home one by one.
But as he walked, he found that the girl was following his ass, like a little henchman.
"Eh, eh, eh... Are you still lying to me? ”
With a ferocious expression that frightened the child, Raymond turned his head to her and said, "Believe it or not, I'll send you back now?" ”
Little girl: "You're a good person. ”
What the heck? I was issued a good person card by a six or seven-year-old girl?
Raymond pretended to be evil and said, "I'm not a good person, I'm a pirate!" ”
Little girl: "I know you're a pirate, a ghost pirate, a bounty of 48 million... And your crew, one 18 million, one 10 million... You've come from the Black Sea, and you've just gotten lost here from the Windbelt of Chaos. ”
"Huh?"
How did she know so clearly?
Hearing this, Raymond was stunned.
Could it be that this little girl has seen her own bounty order?
That's not right... Unless it is the kind of big man who has a reputation all over the world such as "Seven Martial Seas" and "Endless Eight Emperors", generally speaking, the reward of less than 100 million small shrimp has limitations, and it is impossible to see it in other seas.
How can this little girl know so well?
At this time, the little girl's words solved the doubts in his heart, "You saved us before, so I know that you are different from those evil pirates." ”
"You're... Those slaves who were captured by the Iron Hand Pirates? ”
Raymond then understood, it turned out that this girl was one of the tens of thousands of slaves in the cabin. He was surprised again, "Didn't I leave the ship to you... Why did you get caught again? ”
The little girl's embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "Not long after you left, we met another group of pirates, and then there was a fierce battle, and the ship was sunk..."
"I see..."
Raymond frowned when he heard this, that group of pure Mao clans is really enough of disasters.
However, with this addition, it is also a two-sided relationship, and it is still two life-saving graces... Don't say that you girl promises to each other, at least you can't take revenge.
The hinterland of the pure Mao sea area, which is where humans can go alive?
I want you a dragon crystal, but you want my life?
"I also want to help you, but I'm too weak now, and I'm powerless."
He pursed his lips and said, "You don't need to say it, even if you really take a seventh-order dragon crystal out, I won't take you back." ”
Raymond said this very absolutely, leaving no room for it, and turned around and left after speaking.
said this, and the girl really didn't follow up.
She stood helplessly in the street, as if she didn't know where to go. Lonely, like a child abandoned by adults, he didn't dare to chase or make trouble, and stood there quietly.
The slave's belongings must have been pulled clean, and she had no money to stay in a hotel, nor could she afford to hire a ship to leave, and sooner or later she would be caught. She is a weak little girl of the Feather Clan, and anyone who sees this evil leader knows that she is probably a slave who escaped from a trading house. As far as her sequence 9 is faintly unstable, she encounters a pirate at random, and the ending is extremely miserable.
Raymond took a few steps and sensed that the little girl had been standing where she was. As he walked, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he could no longer walk.
"Hey... That's it. ”
He sighed.
After all, he can't be the six relatives of those Internet protagonists, and he is cold-blooded and ruthless. He thought that in his life of traveling through the world of great navigation, he would probably die from this nosy problem.
Raymond turned his head to look at the little girl, beckoned, and said, "You come with me." ”
A gleam flashed in the little girl's crystal eyes, and a strange look appeared on her face. She kept up with Raymond in small steps, not far away, not closer, always two or three steps apart.
"I'll start by saying okay... You can follow me first, have food and a place to sleep, but I will never take you back. ”
Raymond pursed his lips, as if picking up a drag oil bottle, and admonished, "If you want to leave whenever you want, you can." I can also give you a little money for your journey... Still, probably no human would be willing to accept an offer to take you home..."
He chattered for most of the day, and the little girl listened quietly behind him, not making a fuss, so quiet that people felt that she had a calmness that was completely out of her age.
.......
"Oak Tavern" Agamande leads the most lively pirate tavern.
Whether in the game or in the real world of navigation, the tavern is the most well-informed place for pirates.
Raymond led a small oil bottle and rushed headlong into the tavern, wanting to inquire about the coordinates of the shipwreck on the "Golden Compass". When Boggs's ancestors were shipwrecked from the Endless Sea to the Endless Sea, it is very likely that the shipwreck was in the sea near this chaotic wind belt.
"Boss, come to a golden rum!"
Raymond shouted to the bartender, looked at the little girl beside him, suddenly thought of something, and added: "Another glass of coconut water~"
After speaking, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”
"Ricky."
"Oh."
Probably just a pseudonym, and Raymond was interested in what her name was.
The little girl was very cold, and he also asked the name politely, and neither of them spoke much. This girl, just with a straight face, serves tea and water as a slave, and it is estimated that she will be beaten by society.
After a while, the wine is served.
Raymond took a sip of rum, and the taste was no different from that of the Black Sea.
After thinking about it, he pulled out a hand-drawn chart by Anna. This is an image recorded from a golden compass and a rough copy of the landmark. The ship carrying the Potions Secret Book sank in a strange sea near an island that looked like an elephant.
Raymond: "Boss, have you ever heard of this kind of 'elephant trunk' island in the nearby waters?" ”
The boss looked at the map, shook his head, and said in an affirmative tone: "No... At least Agaman is thousands of nautical miles in circumference, and I have not heard of such coordinates. ”
"Oh..."
Raymond put away the map and shrugged slightly, not much disappointed. He didn't expect to encounter such a good thing as soon as he went to sea, and he could find the shipwreck with a casual question.
But at this moment, Ricky on the side spoke again. She said lightly, "I've seen the place marked on your map. ”
"It won't be eight thousand nautical miles south of Agamandel..."
Raymond flipped through the white smoke and complained. He has figured out her routine, this girl just wants to send her back by herself. I couldn't believe a word of what she said.
Richelle was stunned, gave him a strange look, and did not speak again. It is estimated that she also knows that Raymond will not believe what she says now.
......
Agamandel is remote, and the nearest naval base is thousands of nautical miles. What's more, this was the place where the "Helen Furraya" of the Seven Martial Seas used to be sheltered, and the navy did not have a garrison to avoid danger.
So, this realm of sin is a place where pirates can gather in a blatant manner.
The bounty wall of the "Oak Tavern" is plastered with various bounty notices. These are all pirates who have recently been active in the nearby waters, and the bounties are clearly arranged from high to low.
These bounties were posted in the Pirate Tavern not to find anyone wanted, but rather to be an honor, and a ranking of pirates to compete with each other.
At this time,
The boss posted a new bounty on the bounty list, which immediately attracted the attention of the pirates in the tavern.
"Yo... Look, there's another sea thief with a bounty of over 100 million! A bounty of 113 million, Sequence 3 [Dark Witch] Estrid Warner. ”
"Tsk... Recently, there have been a lot of big names in the territory... There are seven or eight sea thieves with a reward of more than 100 million. ”
"Yes! Now that the slave business of the pure Mao clan is so profitable, there will definitely be more sea thieves coming over in the future. Hehe, when the time comes, there will be a few more powerful ones, and let's explore the hinterland of the pure Mao clan together, maybe we can catch more slaves..."
“...”
Raymond looked at the people posted on the tavern bounty list, there were several familiar faces in the game.
The pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million yuan are also considered to be strong in the Endless Sea, with deep pockets and abundant resources. Whether it's in the game or in reality, killing is a very rewarding one!
He looked at Ricky beside him, thinking she would be uncomfortable hearing the pirates talk about the slave business.
But apparently, she was so calm that it seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Raymond didn't notice that as her gaze swept over the pirate on the wanted list, a chill of contempt appeared in her eyes.
