Chapter 0119: On the Road
Adam was planning how to recruit them all.
Dan de León is still in the midst of a construction boom, and the residents are even a little blind worship.
That staggering level of happiness allows Adam to go out and run errands without worrying about other projects.
"Stability and income from their work are really important to them."
Poverty can drive people to a dead end, and the low satisfaction of neighbors can be a hidden danger that cannot be ignored, but if it can be converted into resources......
It's a win-win situation for both sides, it's just wonderful.
Laurie is a down-to-earth man, and he ponders how to slowly revitalize the store.
He still doesn't know that his current boss has just finished thinking about this street and is eyeing the aborigines again.
[You walk through the streets of Mocking Bay, laborers come and go, speculators are sneaky, and the generous are domineering, and no one pays attention to you except thieves. 】
Adam and Laurie rubbed past the crowd.
The sun shines on the bay, not only drying the catch, but also giving off a strong smell of sweat from the stained linen shirts.
Towards autumn, crews and porters are busy.
The sweat glands are developed, and the result of poor bathing conditions is sour and stuffy......
On the map, there are a few red dots interspersed between the blue dots - the gang members also have their own daily affairs.
Adam also looked forward to encountering some robbers who didn't have long eyes, so that he could move his arms well.
He was glad that he had asked the waiter to dry his riding boots last night, otherwise the journey would have been even more difficult.
The streets of Mock Bay are mostly made up of decaying wooden planks that have been washed in the sea for many years, turning gray or light green.
Traces of freight, deeply preserved in the staggered ruts.
Rusty chains, discarded crate hooks, are scattered everywhere.
One day, when a drunken ghost vomits filth or gets in the way of an angry man, the obstacle will be burned and disposed of.
Adam moved forward silently.
The bay was much larger than expected, and when they could barely digest the bowl of fish porridge in their stomachs, they came to a certain square.
The sense of oppression disappeared, and the long-lasting fishy smell in the air was also diluted by the fragrance of plants.
A majestic fountain stands upright in the middle.
A bronze statue of a sea beast, with a white porcelain base surrounded by bricks, gulls and birds stop nearby to comb their wings, and people in a hurry walk around it.
"Mr. Duchen, watch the floor."
Hearing the warning, Adam lowered his head and removed his boots, and sure enough, he saw several clear dividing lines.
It was some kind of shimmering alloy, smashing into the ground, and it was more new and eye-catching than the old and worn parts next to it.
"After the dead tide, the power changes, and the re-established captain demarcates the area after the fierce competition and delineates the direction of his own jurisdiction and development."
This square is the center of the bay in the broad sense, a gradual zone of gold caves and slums.
Adam glanced around.
【Restaurant LV5】
【Gift Shop LV4】
【Cloakroom LV4】
……
All the buildings here are basically under the name of a certain captain.
Any shop covers a vast area, has luxurious decoration, and belongs to the landmark level.
If you keep your view open, you'll be blocked by cliffs and giant trees.
The broken coastline of Nagilfa and all kinds of strange terrain are testing the limits of the designer's imagination.
The cubicles in the bedroom are planks, but behind the toilet, there may be a cliff.
Lazy restaurants will pour swill down waterfalls, stairs with a foot that can crash into stone sculptures and hulls, and torn off rags and sails are inhabited by poisonous insects and mold.
"Lose the money in your pocket, take two steps deeper into the alley, and you can find a tree trunk that can be hanged."
Laurie joked.
【Mangrove】
[Amazing tree species that are not afraid of the sea, they tend to outlast cities.] 】
It could be the flesh and blood of monsters, or it could be alchemical waste......
In short, just like marmots, mangroves whose roots are soaked in seawater also undergo magical mutations.
They grow luxuriantly and swellingly.
The body stretches like tentacles, arches into the city, and even climbs up the cliff to become a natural staircase to the top.
This thing is more like a "vine" than a "tree", or a "sea beast that doesn't move." ”
Ding, ding, ding.
Adam suddenly heard a crisp sound.
【Glass bottle with name engraved】
They are hung from poles that extend from the mangroves, protected by a net of thick ropes tied with special knots, and when struck in some places, they play like wind chimes.
"What's that? A drifting bottle for the gods? ”
"Haha, oh no, Mr. Duchen, it's called a foreign love bottle, made especially for the famous girls of the Gulf."
Laurie chuckled, immersed in some kind of fond memory.
"If there is a discussion about a girl in the streets, someone will make a bottle for her, and on the day she gets married, they will put a memento in it.
It could be the groom's hair, or a gift from the bridegroom.
Gulf customs, hahaha, very interesting, if you stay here for a long time......
Where is the tie to whom, which girl becomes the topic, which big guy or handsome guy marries a beauty?
You can recite it all! ”
The more Laurie spoke, the more excited he became, dancing like a young man picking up a bottle of wine and drinking.
When Adam saw him, the folds of the other man's palm had already covered the ring marks, but according to his age, he must have had a happy family.
【Bulletin Board】
[It's all terrible stupidity. 】
"There will always be trouble in the city, and those commissions are written on it, and if the mercenaries can solve it, they can exchange it for a warm dinner."
Reach out to employers, build network experience, and find long-term employment.
This cycle, like a necessary route, repeats itself in the bay.
Adam was an exception, sneaking straight into the casino, gaining the favor of a magnate, and gambling with the captain.
It can no longer be called a shortcut, but a pull-out of the bowstring and hit the bullseye of the future.
They moved on.
The members of the three forces, as well as many bastards with twinkling eyes, passed by one after another.
It's a pity.
Until Laurie stopped, no one came to disturb him.
"After the captain returns to the sea, unless someone provokes him, he can't do it casually, this is awe."
He explained with a smile as he pointed to the warehouse in the distance.
"It's a gold rush point, and the amount of goods is very abundant, no one should ask where the goods in it come from, their original owners are basically dead."
Laurie held out three fingers and looked up with a warm smile.
"The rules are very simple, let me introduce them to you, if you can abide by them, please try to bear with them, after all, this is within the scope of the Dam Gang.
It's all based on eyesight, charter and take it away, and never sell it in bulk. ”
The warehouse is an old building and newly renovated, and after the dead tide, there are many trading points like this, from daily necessities to rare formulas, basically have to be sold.
The area in front of me is for those shopkeepers to wholesale some goods to change hands.
The members of the Earm Gang stood in the distance, sighing and shaking their heads, as if talking about something.
"Yesterday, Captain Rylis, with his old boat, washed into the tidal flats, the same place we passed by......"
Laurie explained beside him.
The clash that exploded in the bay took place in the evening, and Adam and Beran had already entered the casino.
And when the two sides met, it was already a matter of the second half of the night.
