Chapter 597: The Quarantined Town (Second Update)
"How's your head doing?" Li Yanlong had a feather in his mouth, lay on the deck, looked at the sky boredly, and asked the ranger beside him.
Ji Wanbing stood on the side of the ship, patrolling back and forth, and the beach outside was full of makeshift tents: "Maybe the trouble of Storm's End has been solved, right?" He is a political commissar, and he has even fought the Chaos Demon several times, and when he encounters a small zombie, he has not killed it from beginning to end. ”
"I knew there was such a hot plot over there, so I also went to join in the fun, fighting zombies, this is the dream of many people!" Li Yanlong rolled up from the ground: "How boring it is to stay here every day, this is not at all the same as the game life I began to look forward to." ”
The pirate ship that Vittoria plundered has been renovated in this nameless town, and many of the town's inhabitants are sailors who have disembarked from various merchant ships, and they know how to craft the ship's craft.
The town's main private trade was the smuggling of weapons and armor from Storm's End, which was so lucrative that it attracted many sailors to settle here, relying on their connections to act as middlemen and make a difference.
The weapons and armor of Storm's End could only be legally bought and sold by merchant ships in Upper Gaul, but these merchant ships had to sell their high-quality munitions back to the Old Continent for a pitiful profit of only 70 percent from the royal family of Upper Gaul.
And in this nameless town, these merchants only need to transfer one-third of the weapons and armor in their cabins to other merchants, and they can easily get twice the profit.
When he returned to Upper Gaul, he could excuse himself on the grounds that the production of the Castle of Wind's End was insufficient, and it became a recognized practice in the industry over time.
So much so that the royal family of the Upper Gaul generation always thought that the castle was already a dilapidated city that had exhausted the mines, and never paid attention to it.
By the time Vittoria's pirate ship arrived in Nameless Town, it was already overcrowded, and the inhabitants of the town, plus a few caravans that had been sent by the Druids to Storm's End, had gathered nearly a thousand people in the small town.
Moreover, every day new people are sent by the druids, and the thorns are in the shape of walls, surrounding the town, and the druids don't explain too much, but just send people to observe outside the thorns every day.
When Vittoria's ship came, there was once a ** man riding a shark who came to deliver a message, because of a plague, the Ring of Pastoral Trees had cordoned off the neighborhood and made them detour.
But the pirate ship was overwhelmed and had to enter the harbor for repairs before it could continue sailing.
After negotiation, the druids agreed that the members of the Retribution Warband would enter the town, but not leave the harbor until the plague was over.
Despite the temper of the female warriors, they still retain the greatest respect for the druids, who brought their own dry food to establish quarantine areas.
They agreed to the druid's request, and after mooring the ship in the harbor, the sudden growth of seaweed firmly entangled the rudder of the pirate ship.
There is a whole boat, more than ten transcendents, even the druids are not willing to offend easily, so the druids of the Ring of Pastoral Trees will send someone to bring some fresh fruit every day.
The druids had been blockading the town for four days, and several caravans had enough food to hold out for more than a week, but the merchants who traveled from north to south had an astonishing instinct for commerce.
From the attitude of the druids, they could see the scale and severity of this plague, especially the city of Storm's End, which had not moved at all for so long, and no one knew what was going on in the city.
The merchants consulted with each other and began to buy food from the locals at high prices, and in a matter of days, prices in the town tripled.
As for the fresh fruits in the hands of the retribution warband, the price is even higher, it's not that no one has ever had bad intentions, the quality of the guards hired by the merchants is uneven, and many of them have criminal records in their hometowns.
It's a pity that the people who climbed on the big boat disappeared one by one, and they didn't even bubble.
The witches on the ship used a little trick to make these thieves obediently become coolies at the bottom of the cabin, and they didn't want to go out without ten days and a half of hard labor.
When Vitoria and her party arrived, on the third day, Yang Yuefan took three members of the Retribution Regiment, all the way out of the jungle and came to the vicinity of the blockaded town.
Yang Yuefan saw the pirate ship moored in the harbor from a high place, and also saw the overcrowded beach, and the thorny plants that surrounded the town.
This is an artificially established quarantine area, Yang Yuefan realized the abnormality here for the first time, but the main force of the retribution battle group is in the port, so he can decide that there is not too much danger around.
Because he was carrying an unknown strange object [Mechanical Heart], so along the way, Yang Yuefan walked behind the team to personally clean up the traces, causing the group to walk all the way to the vicinity of the town without being discovered by the druids.
Yang Yuefan sent a message to Li Yanlong with a player text message, and an hour later, a strong man wearing animal skin clothes and holding a wooden staff, like a savage, appeared in front of Yang Yuefan.
"Where are you coming from?" The wildling's tone was unfriendly, and he remained vigilant: "How did you get through our blockade!" ”
Yang Yuefan waved his hand, and Nangong Yujun snatched the opponent's wooden staff before the savage could react, and with a blow to the head, the five big and three thick savages fell to the ground honestly.
The wildling was stunned on the ground for nearly five seconds before recovering from his strength, seeing his broken staff and his large feet in metal boots.
Nangong Yujun stepped on the wild man's chest, and the voice came out behind the helmet: "From now on, I ask a question, you answer, say one more word, and I will cut off one of your fingers." ”
"I am the druid of the Ring of Pastoral Trees! You ......" the wild man struggled to get up without fear.
And Nangong Yujun, who was born in the New China Army, also had no scruples, and took out a dagger and planned to combine words and deeds.
"Enough!" The vines that spread from the nearby branches wrapped around the wrist of the black-armored warrior and stopped his movements, and an old man in a robe with thinning hair appeared behind a tree: "Outsider, why do you treat the children of the forest so violently? ”
"I'm not used to having someone talk to me in an interrogative tone." Yang Yuefan gave the assassin Fan Li a look, and the other party turned around and disappeared behind a big tree in the way of a line of sight, which was exactly the same as the way the druid appeared.
The old knight Bart stood in place, protecting Yang Yuefan's back.
