Section 637 Pirates
A few days later, just as Xiao Yang and Xiao Xuan were on their first date, holding popcorn and watching romance movies in the dilapidated small cinema in Longshi Town, Chen Xing came to Jinfen Port, the eastern estuary of the Longli River.
Jinfen Harbour, also known as Thousand Sail Harbour, is the largest deep-water port in the United Kingdom.
Although the main transportation force in this world is floating boats, sea freight has the advantage of low cost, and seafood has always been a must-have on the high-end dinner table, so there are still people who take a huge risk to eat by the sea.
Jinfen Port is connected to the Longli River in the west and the sea in the east, and is the transportation hub second only to Sanchahe City in the Red Country.
However, unlike the relatively neutral, free trade system of Sanchahe City, the Golden Powder Port is directly managed by Ice Blue City, and the customs revenue is directly returned to the state treasury.
Chen Xing got off the float boat and asked Lao K and them to go back to Orchid Town first. Once countries block their borders, the return of floatboats will be very troublesome. It's better to be alone, act on the spot, and be flexible.
Seagull Island is located 230 kilometers from Jinfen Port, and there is no special float boat route, so you need to take a boat to get there.
Seagull Island is nominally part of the Red Country, but in reality it is a laissez-faire state, managed by local fishermen, and it is inevitable that it will be dirty.
"I want to go to Seagull Island, is there a way?"
In a bar near the port, Chen Xing pushed a gold coin in front of the bar owner.
The boss looked at him a few times and pushed the gold coin back.
"No one wants to go near that pirate den."
"Especially at this damn time of year, those brazen bastards like to hide in the fog and sneak up on passing ships, and then swagger away under the cover of the fog."
"Young man, I advise you to dispel this thought, if you don't want to get into trouble." The bar owner put down the plate he was wiping and admonished earnestly.
"Maybe some of them are good ......," Mr. Chen said. At least he knew that the legend of the deep sea, Xia Der Sinclair was a good guy.
"You say there are good people among pirates? Could it be that my ears are broken? I've never heard of a good pirate in this world. They're all scum and bastards, and whether they're sober or drunk, they're probably only reassuring when they're turned into corpses. ”
"You seem to have a deep prejudice against them?" Chen Xing wondered.
"Hmph, it's more than a prejudice." The barkeeper looked indignant, and seemed to hate the pirates.
"Just a few months ago, my poor nephew came back from college, and I don't know which tendon he suddenly pulled, and he actually asked a group of friends to go on an adventure on Seagull Island."
"The result can be imagined, a group of bachelors who mess around at sea every day, seeing the young man with fine skin and tender meat is like seeing a big girl with white flowers, after all, they are so short of women that even the warbler does not want to do business in the place where birds don't."
"My nephew has been doing counseling since he came back from Seagull Island, and I guess he won't be able to come out of the shadows for a long time."
The bar owner wiped his plate, his eyes showing sympathy and helplessness.
He sighed, "What a poor fellow who regrets a wrong decision for the rest of his life." ”
"It's a pity what happened to your nephew, but for some reason I have to go to Seagull Island." Chen Xing first expressed sympathy for the victims, and then again expressed his determination.
"Are you supposed to be ......" the bar owner subconsciously backed away, looking vigilant, "want to join them, right?" ”
Chen Xing smiled, a spatial crack opened behind him, and a huge silver wolf slowly walked out.
"Do you think I need it?" Chen Xing asked.
"Oops, it turned out to be the lord, it's rude, it's rude!" The bar owner hurriedly walked out of the bar to entertain.
"As long as the adults need it, we can find a group of people here who don't want to die at any time."
It didn't take long for Chen Xing to board a freighter bound for the Eastern Continent under the arrangement of the bar owner.
"The visit of the adults really makes us shine."
In the VIP lounge, the owner of the freighter personally entertained him.
Generally speaking, the owner of this kind of ocean-going cargo ship is the captain himself, because this is a high-risk industry, and few people are willing to give their lives to others.
"It's our two female crew members, the journey is boring, let them serve the adults."
The owner of the ship brought two beautiful women, seventy years old, wearing a cropped sailor shirt, a blue miniskirt, and a seaman's hat diagonally, sexy and charming, full of uniform temptation.
Chen Xing knows that the higher the treatment, the higher the cost. But now that he has already revealed his identity, he can't lose the pomp and circumstance of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain.
Immediately threw out 500 gold coins as the boat fare.
As for the two beauties in uniform, Chen Xing did not enjoy them. Just let them cut the fruit and serve the tea next to them.
On the one hand, he had relaxed many times in Orchid Town some time ago, and on the other hand, he had no plans to take in new maids.
These talents are low, and Ye Qian and Li Mei are enough. In the future, if you absorb a maid, you will either be a court maid, or you will have a relatively high overall quality.
The speed of the cargo ship was only thirty kilometers per hour, and it took eight hours to travel two hundred and thirty kilometers.
It's the middle of February, and the air is humid. Because the reef blocks the sea breeze, the fog is thick near the island, and visibility is only a few meters.
"My lord, I wish you all the best."
Freighters could not get close to the islands and had to be converted into powered rubber boats. Several sailors rowed their oars to escort Chen Xing ashore.
"Whoa......
The dinghy slowly paddled into the fog. The sailors looked nervous from side to side.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As soon as the words fell, several cracks opened in the sky, and black shadows flew out with fluttering wings.
"Yo-hoo!"
A little fire lit up in the fog, like a street lamp on the highway, stretched forward.
Although the sailors could not see what it was, they understood that it was the means of the big man on the ship, and quickly settled down.
But visibility in the fog was low, and everything was gray and blurry.
In the haze, the sea lit up with a little green light.
"Look, it's a lanternfish!"
The beams of several flashlights were concentrated, and I saw a strange fish with a fierce face, a mouth full of sharp teeth, a small ball of light green hanging from its head, and colorful scales.
"Looks like we're in luck."
"This trip will be safe."
Lantern fish only live in the deep sea and only surface when there is a lot of fog. Although he has a fierce appearance, he actually has a gentle temperament, only eats small fish, and is not aggressive towards humans.
Due to its rarity, and the fact that the light cluster on the top of the lanternfish's head is extremely penetrating and able to penetrate layers of fog, sailors regard encountering lanternfish in the fog as a good omen.
There was silence all around, only the sound of the sea rushing.
Over time, the outline of the island became clearer.
A long wooden dock comes into view. The dock was empty, except for a kerosene lamp.
"Sir, we're just going to get you here."
The rubber boat stopped on the edge of the wooden pier, Chen Xing jumped on it, and the sailors waved and rowed away.
Everything in front of me was gray, and the line of sight could only penetrate the fog of about ten meters.
Two teams of goblins with torches ran out and cleared the way in front.
PS:
I'm sorry, maybe due to the weather, the state is not very good these days, I always feel groggy and headache in the morning.
In my past experience, it should be caused by overuse of the brain, so the time for unstable updates may be prolonged for a while.
Once again, I'm sorry to say to all of you who have been supporting.
So far, I can support myself.
Since October 2017, I have joined the production team of the Genesis God game project, responsible for the design of the worldview, characters, items, and plot.
Recently, the game has started to be tested, so there are more things.
In addition, at the beginning of this year, I joined the production team of "Eternal Night Enlightenment", and now the game demo version has come out, and you can try it in the group, it is a non-kryptonite, independent game, and the plot is written by me, and I feel that it is quite interesting.
Then there will be a third game, which is tentatively scheduled to be the game of "War Dancer".
With the consultant fees on the game project, the income is relatively stable now, at least there is no problem with eating.
But on the other hand, it is necessary to share some energy in the past game, and the relative writing of books may be slower.
Books are meant to be written for a lifetime, not in a hurry. I hope that everyone can always be with us, until many years later, we sit under the big banyan tree and laugh at the sunset together......
Watching Xiao Yang grow up gradually, watching Xiao Yang get started, what a pleasant thing it is.
