"Is it reliable that the defenders of a nearby island are said to have withdrawn?" Iron Slag asked.

"I've heard that it seems to be the Silver City garrison of the Western Continent." The boss couldn't help but interject. He kept his ears open to eavesdrop on them, and if the two fought, he could escape as soon as possible.

"I've heard of it, too, but ......," said the captain, after a pause, "if the news is wrong, we will not fall into the trap." With that, the captain took out the charts from his coat pocket, spread them out on the table, and pointed out the location of the rumored island, and made some analysis.

It is a small island, less than a square kilometer in size, stationed with a garrison of Silver City from the western continent, tasked with protecting research ships that are exploring in the Black Sea.

Three months ago, the garrison sent people to the town of Luoyan and asked the "Fisherman's House" to assist them in searching for several research vessels that had gone missing in the Black Triangle. Therefore, the rumors about the evacuation are not groundless.

However, this does not rule out the possibility of being a trap. The strategy of the Yincheng military to eliminate pirates is usually to throw a sweet date out first, attract the pirates to flock to it, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. Moreover, their way of identifying pirates is very rude, as long as they are attracted by bait, they are all regarded as pirates, and they will not even give a chance to defend themselves.

"Really...... It's not a thing! I don't treat people as human beings anymore. If you had gone back a few hundred years, even a felony would have had to go through a court trial before he could be convicted. The bar owner said indignantly.

"Don't ask for too much, this is the world of the jungle, and they are merciful enough if they didn't destroy all the people below us." The captain said.

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded approvingly.

"You ......" the barkeeper was so choked that he couldn't reason with the two robbers.

"Is there any other way? Let's talk about it. The captain said. Both the bar owner and the accountant shook their heads, the former rarely went out, and the latter spent every day with the captain and no new information.

"I heard that the Lisbon bar is recruiting sailors, and the Horton family is hiring chefs." Iron Slag said. He had just been here for a short time, and he was not familiar with the place, and this was the only information he had.

"Someone hiring in Lisbon?" The captain laughed and beckoned, "Brothers, go earn money." With that, he took the iron slag and the accountant out the door and went to the center of the town.

"Lisbon" is one of the largest bars in the town of Lok Yan, located in the center of the town in Piazza da Maiden, named after the home of the mythical voyagers, and has been in the town for more than 100 years.

Even on such a cold morning, Lisbon is still bustling with people. The huge bar is brightly lit, with burning braziers hanging everywhere, and hundreds of tables of all sizes are filled with customers. Some male waitress in red vests and discs are shuttling back and forth between the dining tables. Other bunny girls in dark tights and with their big white legs were huddled in the crowded area with large wine bottles in their arms, rubbing oil while selling alcohol diligently. When I looked up, there were five or six hundred people here.

However, the most lively place is the small stage in the middle. Three good-looking, scantily clad girls are writhing their young and beautiful bodies on stage. People crowded on the edge of the stage, shouting and screaming at the girls.

On the other side of the stage is a large round table, on which there is a half-person-high wooden card, which reads - The large fishing boat Star Chaser recruits many sailors, and those with experience are given priority, with a guaranteed annual salary of 8 gold, and there are bonuses for excellent performances!

The captain of the Star Chaser sat at the round table and happily admired the dancing girls on the stage. At this moment, there was a sudden shout, and the voice was like a broken gong striking iron, which was particularly unpleasant.

"Senior veteran captain, former captain of the Ichthyosaurus, and now captain of the Beidou frigate, Xia Yihan, recruit a large number of sailors, and invite all friends to join hands side by side! Across the Seven Seas! ”

Following the sound, three men paced towards the middle of the hall.

"Pong!" With a bang, the captain of the Star Chaser suddenly smashed the wine glass and stood up, and scolded loudly, "Which one who doesn't have long eyes to steal business!" I'll kill him! "According to the rules of the deep-sea fisherman's trade, when a captain recruits sailors in a bar, the other captain should consciously change places.

"This is your house!" The captain greeted him.

"You ass! Wherever others go, you follow. "You brain-dead brain-demented brain lacks brain stroke, plus brain water and brain cramps brain idiot!"

The war between deep-sea fishermen often begins with a duel between the captain and the captain, and the duel between the captain and the captain often begins with a scolding. This is a tradition of deep-sea fishermen, and of course, there are some outliers who do not respect this ancient tradition. For example, poisonous spiders, she generally doesn't say a word and does it directly. However, in this part of the sea, few people dare to dispute this.

"You look so lewd like this, no wonder others say you're the most obscene captain in the Black Sea! Not one of them! The captain of the Star Chaser pointed at Captain Xia Yihan's nose and scolded.

"Last time I heard that you give money and others don't do your business, is there such a thing?" Captain Xia Yihan asked lightly.

"You! You! The captain of the Star Chaser trembled with anger, his big face turned the color of pig liver, and he pointed at Captain Xia Yihan, unable to speak for a long time. These words pierced him deeply. He has always thought that he is handsome and extraordinary, but he has no female popularity, and he is still an older single man.

At this time, a tall strong man crossed the captain of the Star Chaser and stood in front of Captain Xia Yihan, condescending to look at him.

This is the second stage of the deep-sea fisherman's war, commonly known as "fighting the first mate".

The captain glanced back at the Iron Slag, but the Iron Slag was indifferent, and had no intention of interfering at all. The captain was anxious, desperately making his eyes, and the iron slag asked lazily, "How much?" The captain gestured two fingers, and the slag shook his head. The captain gestured three more fingers, and the iron slag finally stepped forward and confronted the strong man.

The strong man shouted violently, waving a big fist and slamming the iron slag noodle door! The iron slag didn't move, just raised his head and glanced at him. This glance, as if from hell's gaze, forcibly stopped his fist. He felt as if he had been drenched in ice water, and he only felt chills all over his body, and involuntarily took a step back. This is the instinct of living beings, and it produces a strong sense of crisis when facing powerful creatures. But he is a simple man, and since he receives money from others, he has to help people eliminate disasters. Therefore, he stiffened his head and roared and punched him again!

The iron slag was still motionless, just watching the fist smash over. The fist finally stopped in front of him, unable to take any further steps.

In the eyes of the onlookers, there seemed to be an invisible force that stopped the punch from slamming down. Only the strong man himself knew that he had lost the courage to attack. In the face of such a fierce god, he couldn't exert his strength at all.

Seeing that the tide was gone, the captain of the Star Chaser threw down a sentence, "I'll be back!" Then he turned and ran. Half an hour later, he really returned, still with a large group of strong men with tigers and bears. If quality doesn't win, use quantity! Only by knowing how to be flexible can you survive, this is the law of the deep sea.

This group of strong men, all of them have bronzed skin and solid muscles, and at a glance they know that they are as powerful as oxen, and they are people who often work hard.

Now comes the third phase of the deep-sea fisherman's war - group fighting.

"Up!" The captain of the Starchaser pointed forward and ordered.

However, the scene was quiet, and there were no imaginary shouts and brawls. The strong man who took the lead beckoned to the iron slag, shouted "Brother Tie", and then took the people away. The captain of the Starchaser chased him out and asked, "What are you doing?" I'll give the money. ”

The strong man who took the lead replied, "You admit it, we can't afford to mess with that person, he is carrying three people's boxes on the dock by himself, and our group of people is not enough for him to stuff his teeth." ”

Dejected, the captain of the Starchaser returns to the bar and begins the fourth phase of the deep-sea fisherman's war - negotiations.

"Captain Xia, please accept my sincerity." The captain of the Star Chaser stuffed 2 gold coins over.

"It's too little......" "It's not easy to make a living in the Black Sea." "It's still too little......" "Captain Xia gives people a sense of heroism." "Really?" "Really ......"

After two hours of negotiations, the captain was one step closer to his goal (169 plus 5,174 gold).

Returning to the giant wooden barrel, the iron slag handle stretched out, and the captain had to give 3 gold, a step backwards (174 minus 3,171 gold).

The owner of the bar saw that the captain was splitting the money, so he asked for accommodation and meals, and threatened to make dinner if he couldn't get the money, so the captain had to give another 2 gold, completely back to square one (171 minus 2,169 gold).

Next, the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep. The captain and the accountant tossed for two days and two nights, and were sleepy, while the iron slag worked as a porter for a day, and was so tired that he could not make up for it after a night's sleep.

Nothing to say all night......

The next morning, Iron Slag went to the trading market and exchanged the 3 gold earned yesterday and the 9 silver earned as a porter the day before yesterday for thirteen compressed biscuits, and a total of sixty-nine pieces together with the previous collection. If you only eat two pieces a day, you can stay up for more than a month on the road.

But from the snowy ice fields to the Fikris mountains, to the Great Ice Ocean, to the Far North, and finally to the end of the world. It's a long way, and I don't know how long it will take to get there. Therefore, we can only try to be prepared as much as possible now, and then see if we can hit the prey on the road. According to the bar owner, although the snowy ice field is not suitable for human survival, there are other creatures, such as snowy bears that are several meters high, snowy elk that can run faster than motorcycles, and herds of icefield snow wolves......

In addition, it is said that there are ancient mammoths and glacier saber-toothed tigers in the mountains of Phili Mountain......

It's just that when you encounter these beasts of pre-era, it's really not clear who is hunting whom.
