Chapter 271: One Less?
The first one had a strange hat on his head, with a rusty cockade that closely resembled the shield sculpture that stood diagonally on the bow of the ship.
Its hollow eyes looked at each of us, and finally slowly transferred to Ye Dingxi's body, and opened its mouth coldly.
"Entrance fee!"
What the?!
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ye Dingxi, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What do you need?"
"The most valuable thing in the city lately is the pearl, and there are seven of you who go in, at least ...... Seventy pearls!"
"That's too much......" I couldn't help but exclaim: "We don't know the rules of the Exile City, and we are not prepared, suddenly we want seventy pearls, where to find them!"
"That's your business!"
The skull's jaws were closed, and the skull was mechanically turned to the side, commanding, "Watch this place, don't let them sneak in!"
"Yes, Second Adjutant!"
The two skeletons saluted side by side, and then guarded the hatch one on the left and one on the right.
"What should I do now......
I scratched the back of my head, subconsciously looked behind me, and when I saw the seventeenth child, I suddenly slapped my head, "Ouch, why did I forget you!"
Seventeen, that's a mobile pearl-making machine!
"Seventeen, you cry quickly, it's up to you whether we can enter this exile city or not!" I reached out and patted Seventeen on the shoulder.
The child suddenly made a bitter face and whispered, "Auntie, Seventeen can't cry now......"
"If you think about the sad thing, didn't you cry a few pearls in the seagrass just now, and now you try to squeeze them. ”
I suddenly felt a little distressed, I didn't have time to pick up those pearls in the seaweed, otherwise I would have made up the number now.
Seventy pearls, just to make my little seventeen cry, then I have to cry for half a day to save enough, right?
Seventeen was very obedient, squeezing his eyes hard, but the pearl tears did not fall, and the child could only look at me bitterly.
"Auntie, Seventeen really can't cry......"
"Lean eastward, don't embarrass him. ”
Ye Dingxi walked over from behind me and reminded: "The merman's tears, if they weren't willing to stay, wouldn't have turned into pearls, let's think of other ways." ”
"Still
What's the solution?"
I looked around and sighed, "I saw a lot of shells all the way before, and there may be pearls in them, but now there is nothing but the reef here, and we can't collect them even if we want to." ”
"Madam, I remember that you had a collection jar in your study, which was a pearl ...... that cried when you watched a drama on weekdays."
At this time, Zhu Yan's reminder was like the light of a lighthouse on the coast.
"Yes, yes, I remembered, in the cabinet in the study, there was a jar full, except for the ones used to participate in the jewelry show, there were a lot left, seventy pieces are absolutely fine!"
Ye Dingxi then instructed: "Zhu Yan, you contact Bai Bingyang and ask him to find a way to teleport that jar over." ”
"Yes. ”
Zhu Yan nodded, then opened the black suitcase, and used a vine to seep into the black part, and it took a long time before he looked at us again.
"Lord, madam, wait a moment, Bai Bingyang has gone to find the jar. ”
"How did you get in touch with him?" I asked, curious.
"Writing. ”
"I carved a few important words on the guy with the tip of the branch, and he could understand it. ”
Lettering?
I suddenly felt a pain in my flesh, but I thought that Bai Bingyang didn't shout that it hurt last time his nose was pulled off by Hua Quan, probably a monster who didn't feel pain.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the jar full of pearls was taken out of the box by Zhu Yan.
This is the 'fruit' of watching TV dramas for a few days and nights, I cherish it on weekdays, and I won't use it easily, I can't imagine that I will have to bribe the second lieutenant guarding the city at one time today, and I feel scratched when I think about it.
Seeing my reluctance, Seventeen stepped forward and persuaded me very sensibly: "Auntie, it doesn't matter, after I go back, Seventeen will cry more and fill a bigger jar for Auntie." ”
"Good boy. ”
I tiptoed and touched his head.
Such a kind and sensible fish, if I don't let him go full of evil spirits, I will really be an aunt for so long in vain.
After packing up my mood, I took the jar and the others back to the entrance of the cabin.
"Tell your second lieutenant to come out, the pearl has been found!"
The two skeleton sailors guarding the gate were stunned, probably not expecting that it would take us less than a quarter of an hour to go and return, but they looked at the jar in my hand, and turned at the same time
Turn around and walk into the darkness.
It didn't take long for the second lieutenant of Skeleton to reappear.
"I heard you've found seventy pearls?"
"yes!"
I lifted my chin and shook the jar in front of him, "Oh, that's enough!
"You go and count it, you can't lose one!"
As soon as the second lieutenant gave the order, one of the sailors had already taken the jar from my hand, and it was so fast that I didn't have time to react.
Then they were seen back into the darkness, and this time it was a long time before the two skeletons reappeared.
"Reported to the second adjutant, there are only 69. ”
Ha?!
Why is there just one missing?
"Aren't you supposed to be Kuang us?" I asked weakly.
The second adjutant snorted coldly, in a very disdainful tone, "Hmph, we have been guarding the city here for three hundred years, what kind of creatures have never seen, people like you who are messing around, entering the city is also causing trouble, and you are not welcome in the city!"
After saying that, the second adjutant turned his head and was about to leave.
But we've already handed over 69 pearls, and if they just leave, could it be that our pearls will also be confiscated?!
"Wait!"
I shouted at them and stopped them.
"It's just a pearl, let's discuss it again!"
The second lieutenant stopped, turned to look at us again, "What else do you have in place of a pearl?"
I looked at myself first, then at Ye Dingxi, and finally at Bai Ze and them, as if they hadn't prepared anything suitable.
But......
At this time, the second adjutant's hollow eyes were fixed on the dog's body.
I didn't dare to hesitate and quickly asked, "Do you like dogs?"
To tell the truth, if the second adjutant asks me to ask for a dog at this time, I will definitely hold it with both hands and serve it personally, after all, there is only a pearl away from entering the door!
It's okay for a dog to sacrifice a little.
Unfortunately, the second adjutant shook his head decisively, "This dog is really dirty." ”
"Woo~"
The dog suddenly bared his teeth, a pair of dog eyes stared hard, and made a threatening sound of grinding teeth.
