Chapter 81: News from Elder Fishmen

The past few days out of Lenta City have been very peaceful, and there are no unpleasant things happening at night because of the people who are on duty at night, but every night Roy still sees the figure standing on the triangularis pillar in his dreams, but the black gas on his body is much less than when he first appeared, and the distance between him and Roy is closer.

Roy quickly adapted to the dream every night, and in the dream, each time he used the Holy Light War Spear to attack the black air mass on the opposite person, helping him clear the black gas package.

The night before arriving at the fish-man shoal, the man in the dream was left with only his head still entrenched in the black qi, and his body emerged from the black qi with Roy's help.

It was the figure of a woman, barefoot, wearing a green robe, not tall, only up to Roy's chest, and from the ornamentation on the robe it seemed to have some connection with the druid or the elves, and no more could be seen.

During the day, the caravan was moving forward quickly, and they needed to reach Liminosi as quickly as possible, and soon the caravan reached a pebble-covered tidal flat, a fish-man shoal.

The southern tributary of the Massas River, which had separated from the main trunk of the Massas River, flowed in the direction of the southern provinces, and at a distance of four days north of the city of Lenta, the ground leveled and gradually spread from a wide river into a large open shoal formed by several tributaries, and the whole north of the shallows reunited into a river to continue flowing.

And among these branches of the Mathas River are hidden a large number of fishmen, a powerful clan of chiefs, elders, and warriors.

Different from the two fish-people in Liangjian Gorge, the fish-people here have accumulated wisdom comparable to humans because of their years of strength, and have spent some time in human society, learned the lingua franca of humans, and can communicate with humans.

The convoy stayed on the ground outside the shoal, looking from the direction of Roy, you can see that there are a lot of fish people playing on the shoals, these fish people can always accurately make the number of the population reach the limit of the nearby environment without destroying it, every time the fish man dies, a new fish man will be born, never taking up more environmental resources, this behavior makes players very puzzling.

Rabe jumped out of the carriage, and he was the main manager of the escort of the goods this time, and the original young steward could not be distracted by some business at hand, so Rabe was sent out as a test for him, because in the Kwai Salian Chamber of Commerce, only servants who could lead the caravan alone could be promoted to steward.

Rabe skillfully took out a piece of chopped sausage from the package around his waist, stretched out his hand and beckoned a fish-man child closest to him, and said to him, "Find your elder, this sausage is for you." As he spoke, he handed the sausage in his hand to the little fish-man, all the fish-people could understand the lingua franca, but the only one who could speak the lingua franca was the elder of the fish-man.

The little fishman hurriedly croaked a bunch of words, stretched out his webbed hands to hold the sausage and stuffed it into his mouth, the fish people are very fond of the meat sausage made by humans, and the flavor of the sun is not made by the river water, so the meat sausage has a very high status in the fish-man group, usually only the patriarch, the elder and the strong warrior have the opportunity to enjoy, or the child's fish man can't eat it.

Swallowing the sausage, the little fishman squinted his eyes happily, jumped forward, and dived underwater, and the group stood on the shore and waited quietly.

Soon, the river in front of Rabe was still surging, and a wave rose from the middle to support an old fish-man and the little fish-man who had just entered the water.

The old fish-man seemed to be very old, with two extremely long whiskers hanging from his mouth to his feet, and the scales on his body were not like the aqua blue of a normal fish-man but blue-gray, half-bent on his body, and in his left hand he held a walking stick made of underwater sunken wood, which was inlaid with a lustrous pearl.

He wears a crown made of aquatic plants and shells on his head, indicating his status as a fish-man elder, and in the center of the crown is a large grass-green open shell, which, from Roy's direction, looks like a frog with a wide mouth on top of his head.

He opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, glanced at Rabe carefully, and said in a lingua franca with a strange accent: "It turned out to be from the Kuisarian Chamber of Commerce, and what about Khashoggi?" ”

Elder Fishman refers to Khashoggi as the young steward Roy had seen, and since he often traveled back and forth between Liminosi and Lenta City, Elder Fishman was more familiar with him.

Rabe said with a smile: "Mr. Steward has something to do, this time I will lead the team, of course, the supplies for the nobles are also prepared, a cart of meat sausages and a cart of salt, grain and other materials, are the usual practice." “

As he spoke, Rabe clapped his hands, and the two cartloads of things for the fish-man came out of the convoy, lifted the waterproof felt cloth on it, and showed it to the fish-man elders.

The fish-man elder who saw the materials nodded, turned his head and said a bunch of words to the fish-men behind him, and those fish-men hurriedly threw down the things in their hands, came to the side of the car, and quickly moved the materials from the carriage, among which the fish-men who could release talent spells quickly released a huge bubble to the materials held by the fishmen, wrapping the materials inside to prevent the materials from entering the water.

Seeing the fishmen carrying the supplies, the fish-man elder turned his head and said to Rabe, "I have a message here, it is about the Manda Forest in the back, and about the Borst Chamber of Commerce, I think you should know. ”

Rabe's flurry, it's about the Borszt Chamber of Commerce? He was a little curious, the Elder Fishman had a high reputation in selling news, but he didn't know what price he would pay.

I saw that the Fishman Elder stretched out his webbed right hand and made a five-five gesture to Rabebi, Rabe saw this, and quickly took out five gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the Fishman Elder.

As a fish-man who has learned about human society, the Fish-Man Elder is as fond of gold coins as ordinary people, and he can use them to make other transactions with the merchants he comes and goes to get what he wants.

Seeing the five gold coins, the fish-man elder snorted impatiently, his eyes glanced towards the sky, it was obviously too little, Rabe was dumbfounded, and hurriedly handed his money bag directly to the fish-man elder, there were sixty gold coins in it, which should be enough, but I don't know what kind of news it will be so valuable.

The fish-man elder turned the bag in Rabe's hand upside down, and then laughed, and by the weight of the money bag, he could clearly judge the number of gold coins in the money bag, at least fifty, which made him very happy.

Grabbed the crutch in his left hand and waved it on the money bag, a layer of water film wrapped the money bag, and sank into the water below, the fish-man elder clicked his mouth and said to Rabe: "Two days ago, the Borst Chamber of Commerce set off from here, and after entering the Manda Forest behind the shoal, it was attacked by an unknown person, all the caravan members were killed, and the boxes transported were all opened, and the contents were taken away, leaving only straw, which is the same as the box you transported, so you have to be careful, Those attacks were most likely directed at these chests. ”

Although the Fish-Man Elder's eyes looked a little cloudy, his eyes were still very sharp, and he saw that the boxes transported by the Kui Salian Chamber of Commerce were the same as those transported by the Arszon Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, so he decided to warn them.

Rabe's face sank, and then he said to the Fish-Man Elder, "Thank you for your warning, and the next time we come back from Liminosi, we will bring you an extra cart of supplies as a thank you gift." "Light Pasture
