CH.106 Just Buy It
Donk found a well-known local dwarven blacksmith, and he knew there was little hope, but he wanted to hear from a professional.
The Dwarven Forger only scratched his ears and cheeks when facing the black chest, and he shook his head to indicate that there was nothing he could do, but he gave a useful message.
The blacksmith advises Donk to go to the mines to find a man named Tyke. Gern's people said that this was a powerful blacksmith, and he was the only person in the area who had any hope of opening this black treasure chest.
Donk decided to follow the vine and go to a place called Mine City on his next voyage.
The mining city is right on the northern route, which is the same as the destination of Tangke, and it happens to be on the way, which is also considered a beautiful thing. His plan is to go both ways, researching strategies against Harold while looking for clues to open the treasure chest.
Regarding this black treasure chest, both the thief and the blacksmith point to the time point of the twilight era, so it is necessary to spend pen and ink to sketch this era.
The development of a world from the Big Bang to a thriving civilized society needs to go through several eras.
At the beginning of the chaos, the gods were born, and they all established their own kingdoms and created the first life. Hordes of dragons soar through the sky, tall Titans and Gaia walk in all directions, and the Tree of Life can be seen growing everywhere.
Under the guidance of the great gods, politics, art, medicine, science and technology and so on are developing rapidly.
When prosperity reaches its peak, it is the end.
For some unknown reason, the splendor created by the gods has collapsed irretrievably.
The Age of Twilight sang the finale of the departing of the gods, and the tone of this era was gloomy except for the fact that the Demon Clan thrived in destruction.
In the aftermath of the catastrophe, races such as humans, dwarves, elves, and so on have sprung up, and they no longer have to be slaves to the gods, nor do they have to worry about becoming a dinner for demons.
The black treasure chest that Donk owned was something from an old age.
Although the black treasure chest may only contain a gadget in the hands of the demon, when it comes to Tangk's hands, it is a rare treasure.
In the following days, Donk continued to be the shopkeeper and let his men prepare for sailing, including familiarizing himself with the work of the magic ship.
And Donk himself went to find out a little bit about Tyke. Gern's message.
Tyke is a cave owner in the Mines City, and owns several prolific mines, including a lucrative Magicstone Mine. He is a famous blacksmith who has been retired for many years, and he is also a wealthy man with a lot of money, who is stingy and self-righteous.
Tyke's father was once kidnapped by bandits and demanded a huge ransom, and the kidnappers acted very ruthlessly, sending old Gern's ears, fingers, and nose to Tyke's hands one by one, hoping to scare Tyke.
Between Kanayama and his father, Kotek finally chose Kanayama and still did not regret this decision when his father's head was sent to him.
When Donk heard this, he didn't show righteous indignation, because he was a ruthless bad guy himself. But this kind of story of disregard for family affection evokes some memories of his childhood.
There was a time when he craved a kind of dependence, but as he grew up, he gave up on that idea and chose to rely on himself.
Although Tyke is an unfilial son, it will not affect Donk's trip.
Before setting sail, One-Eye once again suggested that Donk should buy the Hawk, a bird that plays a very important role in communicating at sea.
Although the Hawkmen that Donk was able to recruit were also very good messengers, his points were not enough to form an air strike force, and it was enough to spend a few Hawks for a few Hawks just to deliver messages.
Donk took all the captains in the regiment and found a local shop that specialized in selling Xunhawk.
On the storefront hangs a large wooden plaque with the profile of a signal eagle, which is carved to life. After entering the store, you will be greeted by a large number of Xunying, Xunying is locked in a cage, they are very quiet, and when they see the living people coming in, they only stare at the living people with their round and big eyes.
Among the creatures that Donk likes, the eagle has a place, this bird has an appetite for him from its appearance to its surname, fierce and tall, and it makes a living from hunting, which is simply a portrayal of his life.
"I don't know how much you know about Xunying's surname Xi?" The merchant asked with a smile as he fed the Eagle of Xun.
"Very well understood." One-Eye replied first, and then walked in front of the eagles, looking for the one he liked.
"Okay, so I can save some tongues, you can choose as you like." The merchant made a gesture of please.
Before this, Donk had heard about the Xunhawk, a very intelligent bird that could understand human language, but could not speak. They are loyal by nature, and once they identify with a master, they will never leave to serve them.
However, it is a troublesome and a little dangerous thing to get Xunying to agree.
The captain has to choose a pleasing Eagle and then put his hand into the cage to gently stroke Eagle Eagle's neck, if Eagle meekly accepts the petting, then even if a master-servant relationship is reached, he only needs to take care of Eagle carefully, and Eagle Eagle will be obedient and obedient.
But if Xun Ying doesn't like the person who touches him, he will unceremoniously peck with his mouth, even if he is wearing thick crocodile skin gloves, he will be pecked very painfully.
Everyone put on gloves, looked for the right Xunying one by one, and tentatively stroked it.
Wendy has a crush on a white female eagle, and this little guy is very beautiful. She walked over, looked at Xunying, and whispered, "You are so beautiful, would you like to come with me in Shanghai?" I'm going to be nice to you, I used to have a signal eagle called Titi, which is also white. ”
Xun Ying blinked his eyes and leaned forward, showing his friendliness.
Wendy smiled, reached into the cage, slowly approached the white eagle, and stroked the shiny feathers.
"Congratulations, it has approved of you, ma'am." The merchant stepped forward to reply, but Wendy, whose face was covered, focused on Xun Ying and turned a deaf ear to the merchant's words.
One-Eye also found a suitable Eagle for Signal.
It was robust, and its left eye was injured, and it was also one-eyed. It didn't take long for the two one-eyed eyes to look at each other before they reached a consensus. One-eyed picked up the cage and said that he had made a choice.
Next, Luban finds a fat-headed and fat-brained Eagle of the Eagle, and another newly recruited young captain finds an equally young Eagle of the Year.
Only Donk was left unsettled, and he wandered around the store and finally found the pet he wanted.
It was the largest of the many eagles, its cage hung high on the roof of the shed, its eyes were fierce, its black feathers shiny with oil, and its long, sharp beak looked like it could peck open even a lion's skull.
Tang Ke looked up at the other party with the idea of this black signal eagle.
When the merchant noticed this, he came over and said kindly, "I advise you not to look at it, it has been here for three years, and countless captains have taken a fancy to its physique and want to tame it. But so far, no one has succeeded. It seems that it doesn't like to send letters by nature, and it is not suitable to be a signal eagle, and I keep it because it looks good and looks good, and I have no intention of being able to sell it at all. ”
"I'm optimistic about it." Ignoring the merchant's advice, Donk began to look at the Great News Eagle again.
The merchant shook his head and said no more, gloating that Tang Ke would suffer a loss, and that it would be better to be pecked by Xun Ying.
Tonk jumped up from the spot, grabbed the birdcage, pulled it down, ripped off the hook, and placed the birdcage on the ground. He crouched down and stared at the big Xun Eagle in the cage, and the other party was also staring at him, and the gazes of both sides were not very friendly.
"Do you want to come with me?" Donk asked straight to the point.
Xun Ying screamed twice, and glanced at Tang Ke, the meaning was obvious.
Undeterred, Donk reached into the cage. Seeing this, Xun Ying immediately opened his mouth to peck and grabbed the back of the glove. Donk felt pain, but it didn't break the skin.
"Ding! You've discovered a new magical creature that adds 10 bonus points and it expands the Bestiary. ”
Xunying:
Race: Flying Beasts.
Surname: Wind.
Skill: None.
Flight Speed: ★★★ Survivability: ★★ Living Area: Spread all over the world.
Description: They are the most loyal companions of the voyager, able to listen to their master's orders and deliver letters to their designated locations. They have a high IQ and are able to recognize the recipient. Rumors of a curse for killing the Eagle may have been heard, but at least no one dared to risk killing the Eagle and they were free to soar through the skies.
Bonus points after killing: 50.
Required bonus points: 150.
Tang Ke clicked on Xunying's information, and he planned to buy it directly, instead of summoning it with points. But this Xun Eagle didn't give him face at all, and still kept biting his hand.
"As I said, it won't bow to others, and although I want to sell it, it's not destined to be a qualified eagle." The merchant said helplessly.
"It's pretty energetic." Donk pulled his hand out of the cage, "I'll buy it." ”
"What? It doesn't endorse you, what do you buy it for? ”
"I have a fancy for it, so I can't help it." Donk stood up and patted the merchant on the face a few times, "Besides, disobedience can be adjusted slowly." ”
In this way, they bought a total of five signal eagles, four of which were obedient and obedient, and they could be used to deliver letters after a period of training. Xunying has no name before recognizing the owner, and only the owner can name them.
With Xunying, the repair work of the three ships tends to be completed, the procurement work is completed, and the division of labor of the ship's personnel is also refined to each person.
With everything in place and the east wind in place, the dragon pirate group has finally decided to set sail. They are going to run to the next harbor, to the sun that rises above the sea, to the hope that belongs to the pirates.
