Chapter 1316: War Craftsmen Are Everywhere
Considering that Master Yi had mentioned that the Noxians had explored the western part of Barouo, Rhodes had a slight suspicion in his heart—in order to clarify the situation, he quietly began to talk to this Mr. Hill, wanting to probe the low.
However, when it came to starting again, Rhodes didn't come up with any useful news.
The other party may have no problems, maybe it is not leaky, whether it is words and deeds or accent movements, they are all real Picheng people - flamboyant and stubborn, like to show off quietly, use complicated rhetoric to express themselves, and then quietly boast of themselves, like Hex products, and even have a few Hex body modification devices that are easy to travel.
It's a bit unusually self-cooked, but there's nothing wrong with that.
In order to find out his identity, Rhodes boldly asked about the topography of the province of Baroue, saying that he had read some travelogues that mentioned that the terrain of Baroue was dangerous.
In the face of Rod's temptation, the other party didn't seem to have any problems - although Rod didn't say whose book he read, Hill directly named that person.
"Santangiro's investigative notes, right?" For the first time, Hill was not very polite, "I've heard that name too, and after learning that he claimed to have been to Ionia too, I even spent ten silver hexes and scooped up a second-hand Santangiro investigative notebook - thankfully I bought a second-hand one." ”
"Uh, what do you say?"
"What nonsense!" Hill did not hesitate to give his own assessment, "Except for some merits in the description of the Vastaya, I am afraid that the rest is a bit of nonsense - including geography and customs, with all due respect, although he was lucky, he met a lot of Vastaya, and even traveled with the changer, but as a traveler, he behaved extremely unprofessionally in many ways!" ”
"Oh?" Rod looked interested, "Can you talk more about it?" In fact, it was because of the beautiful Vastaya described in that pastoral notebook that I chose to take this trip to Ionia......"
"If it's that part, I don't comment on it." Ciel shook his head, "But I can tell you responsibly, except for the Vastayan volume, you can tear up the rest of the notebook and sell it as scrap paper, which may save you some losses - it's good that you met me, otherwise you're going to have a very bad journey." ”
Next, Hill and Rhodes tell a lot about Ionia, and easily point out the self-righteous fallacies in Santangiro's pastoral notes, a few of which are chasing after the wind, and most of them are true.
Even when Orianna told everyone to get ready to leave again, Hill still looked indignant - he even took the initiative to switch places with someone and sat next to Rhodes to have a detailed talk with Rhodes.
This attitude made Rhodes very uncertain about the identity of the other party, and even doubted his own suspicions for a while - after all, there are thousands of kilometers of coastline in Barouo, and there are one or two places in the 300-kilometer area in the southwest that can be used as landing points...... And not something strange!
Or...... Keep probing?
When the Hex propulsion engine started again and Rhodes fastened his seatbelt again, he silently made up his mind.
Next...... Let's see how he learned about this port.
……………………
Another eight hours.
After resting again, although everyone showed that they were tired to the naked eye, there were very few people who chose to eat this time.
This kind of feeling of rushing forward against the wind is not something that ordinary people can afford, as if someone grabbed your mouth and poured air into it after eight hours, everyone didn't even have the strength to eat this time.
As for sleeping...... Now is not the time to rest, and Orianna assures that after confirming that it is safe, everyone has almost a day to rest, and now is not the time to rest.
In this way, when the ship was stopped again for maintenance, Hill corrected the chart again and took the initiative to find Rod.
This time, Rhodes turned the conversation to the port, and he began to ask about the port with a look of curiosity and a stubbornness that seemed to be a little unbelievable that he had been cheated by Santangiro.
And it seems that in order to convince Rod, Hill did not hide it, and simply told Rod about the discovery of the port.
Roughly speaking, when he arrived in Ionia, he first landed in the Cuili, but he felt that the atmosphere there was very wrong, "there was a smell of blood in the air", so he took the initiative to leave the Ori early, and then went to Presidium.
Presidium was followed by the province of Sanglin and then the province of Zhiyun—he had planned to make a circle and then set out from Cuili and return to Piltover, but "because he didn't like the city of Cuili", he chose to look along the coast to see if there was any place to leave.
"So you found a natural harbor in Baruo?" Rod's tone was filled with intense curiosity, "But is there a ship back to Leather City?" ”
"A harbor tucked away between cliffs." Hill raised his chin slightly, putting on a smug look, "Naturally, there is no port to Picheng, but there is a port to go to Weili." ”
"Going to Weili?"
"That's right!" Hill nodded, "The locals say that this port was once opened by the Wuji Kendo after coming down the mountain to support Presidium, and now it is gradually abandoned, but sometimes the locals and nearby guilds bring goods through this port to Presidium to trade. ”
Hearing this, Rod finally narrowed his eyes slightly—what a cunning fox, and now he finally showed his fox tail!
Supporting one's experience with celebrity deeds is certainly a good way to gain credibility, but ...... If the other party confirms that the celebrity deeds you said are fake, it will be different!
Infinite Kendo had almost all of them killed in the Battle of Presdian before, except for Master Yi, so whether "a port for Infinite Kendo to support Presidian" existed, except for Master Yi, no one probably knew - considering that Master Yi had always seen the dragon without seeing the end, it was almost impossible to be exposed.
It's a pity that this guy met Rhodes.
As a person who once drank tea and chatted with Master Yi to train his apprentices, Rod knew very well that Master Yi didn't know that there was a port in the west of Baru'e that went to Weili - Chang Wei, and you still said that you don't know martial arts?
"This Mr. Hill." Thinking of this, Rod finally smiled on his face, "Can you tell me, what is your real name?" ”
“???”
"After all, Hill isn't a common Noxian name."
