While Bai Qi was pondering in his heart, Buck came out of the kitchen with a plate of grilled fish and a plate of toast.

The fresh aroma of the fish and the sweet aroma of the bread shocked Bai Qi and Barrian, who were already a little hungry.

Unexpectedly, the cooking skills in this water thief tavern are quite not bad, the half-sized barracuda more than a foot long is grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious, and the bread is also crispy and soft.

However, Bai Qi and the two of them were not thinking about eating and drinking, and the two of them ate some Western things casually, and then got up and left the tavern.

Before leaving, Bai Qi seemed to remember something, called Buck, and asked, "By the way, how did the shipyard come about?" ”

Buck was slightly stunned, but said quickly, "It's just west of the port, in the Molin Bay." ”

Bai Qi made an expression of sudden realization, as if he remembered something, turned around and walked out of the tavern.

Looking at Bai Qi's back, Buck muttered a few words in confusion, but his attention was quickly attracted by the silver coin in his hand, wiped the silver coin on his sleeve, and after making sure that it was indeed a silver coin, he happily stuffed it into his sleeve, climbed up to the bar, and lay down again.

Bai Qi and the others left the tavern, came to the dock, and walked along the dock towards the west of the city.

Bai Qi vaguely remembered that when they were on the southern edge of the city just now, looking at the plain to the south, they seemed to see a river on the west side of the plain, but that river didn't seem to be big, could it be that the shipyard was next to that river? How big can such a small river accommodate a shipyard?

These doubts were answered as they walked down the dock to the northwest corner of the city.

The river to the west of the city is indeed small, but it forms a bell mouth at the mouth of the river, and the shipyard is not far from this bell mouth.

As the most important place in the City of Pirates, the shipyard was heavily guarded, and a tall and thick wall was erected around the shipyard, and four defensive stone towers were built on the four corners of the wall, and the stone towers were topped with hideous giant crossbows.

On the lakeside of the shipyard, although open, the defense in this direction was much tighter, with four towers of defense built and seven or eight giant crossbows and the same number of trebuchets erected on the embankment.

Seeing such a tight defense, Bai Qi couldn't help but be a little discouraged, such a tight protection made him directly stillborn with the idea of hijacking a new ship in the shipyard.

After a circle around the shipyard, the two returned to the dock before they could catch the attention of the guards.

At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and the city of thieves was gradually getting a little more angry, and the tavern guys were already busy.

Bai Qi led Barian into the tavern belonging to the Blackfish Water Thief.

This tavern is very special, first of all, it is very large, the area of the hall is more than 500 square meters, and secondly, the tables and chairs in the tavern are very large, the table is the kind of long table that can seat dozens of people, and the chair is the kind of long bench that is more than five meters long and more than one meter wide, such a stool can be used as a bed to sleep.

In fact, it is used exactly that, and many drunks are sleeping on benches or long tables.

The bar in the tavern was also wide and long, and more than a dozen guys were already busy, and the smell of grilled fish and bread began to waft from the kitchen behind the bar.

Bai Qi gently stirred the qi and blood in his body, letting the power fluctuations of qi and blood emanate from his body, and then walked towards the bar.

A few of the guys noticed him, and of course they also felt the aura of qi and blood that he deliberately leaked, and there was a little more respect in the eyes that looked at him, but they didn't have the fear and trepidation of Buck in the tavern just now.

This is not surprising, the Blackfish Water Thief, as one of the controllers of Blackwater City, is said to have more than ten Chosen Warriors inside, Bai Qi has felt three fluctuations in the power of qi and blood from the drunks in the tavern, with such a tough backstage, these guys are naturally not too afraid of the average Chosen Warrior.

Bai Qi went to a table near the bar and sat down, beckoning a fellow to serve two portions of the tavern's best food and ale.

The meal was served quickly, and in less than a minute, two plates of roasted golden barracuda and bread, as well as a large jar of ale, and two reasonably clean oak cups, were placed in front of the two of them.

The two of them ate a few bites casually, but found that the grilled fish in this house tasted significantly better than the tavern just now.

Bai Qi nodded as if he was very satisfied, called a guy, and asked casually, "What's your name?" ”

The good-looking fellow bent down and said, "Mussel, Captain." ”

In this city of pirates, it seems that all the Chosen Warriors will be honored as captains.

Bai Qi nodded and said, "I'll ask you something, if your answer can satisfy me......" Speaking of this, he grabbed a few silver coins from his pocket and put them on the table, and said, "These silver coins are yours." ”

The man looked at the pile of silver coins, and instead of showing joy, he showed a hint of vigilance, and said with a slightly false smile on his face: "Captain, if you ask, if I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

Bai Qi nodded and asked, "I heard that the three ships under construction in the shipyard will be launched soon, do you know how long it will take?" I'm going to order a warship, and when the dockyard is free, I'll go and make a deposit. ”

Hearing this question, the guy was slightly less suspicious, this is not a secret, he showed a slightly contrived expression of regret, and said: "As far as I know, there will be a ship launched the day after tomorrow, it is said that it is a large flagship customized by the Blood Wolf Water Pirates, and the remaining two are estimated to be launched within a month, but if you plan to book a ship, I'm afraid it's a little late, because of the conflict with the fishmen, the three families of Blade, Winged Serpent and Blood Sail have all lost their ships, so the shipyard's orders are probably scheduled for three years." ”

Bai Qi hammered the table in great annoyance, and his face became ugly.

He took a big bite of meat from the grilled fish, chewed it a few times, and asked, "Who do the remaining two ships that are about to be launched belong to?" ”

The fellow didn't seem to care at all about his gloomy face, and replied, "One belongs to our Blackfish, and the other belongs to Blackwater." ”

Bai Qi was silent when he heard this, he angrily pushed the pile of silver coins on the table towards the guy, lowered his head and dealt with the grilled fish fiercely.

The man finally smiled greedily, picked up the silver coin, turned back to the bar, and went back to his busy work.

Leaving the Blackfish Tavern, Bai Qi and the two walked around the neighborhood and entered a tavern again.

In this tavern, Bai Qi inquired about some of the situation of the Blood Wolf Water Thief Group.

The Blood Wolf Water Pirates are a medium-sized gang of water thieves in Blackwater City, with three looted merchant ships, three Chosen Warriors, and more than fifty ordinary water thieves.

This gang of pirates doesn't seem to be interested in looting, preferring to do some smuggling business, such as buying some stolen goods cheaply from the city of pirates, and then disguised as ordinary merchant ships to sell the stolen goods in some city-states, or buying some goods from the city-states that are in short supply in the city of pirates and selling them.

At this time, this gang is not in the City of Water Thieves, and it seems that they have gone out to do business.

To Bai Qi's surprise, the dock they were berthing at this time turned out to be the exclusive dock of this blood wolf water thief group.

To Bai Qi's surprise, he heard Captain Will's name in the buddy's small talk.

Captain Will is an alternative to the City of Pirates, and other bands of water thieves will buy or loot more ships to expand their size as long as they have enough strength, but Captain Will is not interested in this, he seems to be plundering purely for the sake of looting.

Once other sailors looted a merchant ship, as long as the situation allowed, they would bring the merchant ship back, or sell it, or recruit people to expand the scale, but after Captain Will robbed the merchant ship, he often only looted some valuable goods, and then set fire to the ship, burning it to death along with the crew on board. Therefore, even in the city of pirates, Captain Will is a guy that everyone respects and is called "butcher" by the water thieves.

Because of this characteristic, although Captain Will is superior in strength, not weaker than the bosses of the four major pirate groups such as Blade and Blood Sail, he only has two Chosen Warriors, a warship, and more than twenty ordinary sailors.

For some reason, this lone wolf-like Captain Will has a very secret relationship with the Blood Wolf Water Pirates who specialize in smuggling, and the two sides occasionally go out to do business together, and most of the property looted by Captain Will is also handed over to the Blood Wolf Water Pirates for smuggling.

Hearing this news, Bai Qi's heart moved, and he secretly guessed that this blood wolf water pirate group was the same as Captain Will, and it was also sent to Blackwater City by the city-state family?

With this speculation in mind, Bai Qi and Barian found the lair of the Blood Wolf Water Pirates, the Blood Wolf Tavern.

The two sat in the Blood Wolf Tavern for more than an hour, and learned from the chat between the water thieves and the bartender in the guò tavern that the Blood Wolf Water Thieves had been out doing business for a long time, and they should be returning soon.

The two left the Blood Wolf Tavern, returned to the docks, and boarded the cargo ship.

Gunder told Bai Qi that no one paid any attention to them during the time since they left.

This was not surprising to Bai Qi, who had dared to leave the cargo ship at the dock for so long that he had discovered that the city was so chaotic that there were almost no administrators at all.

It was 10 o'clock in the afternoon, but the city seemed to have just woken up, and it was gradually lively.

Bai Qi ordered Gunder to leave the port immediately.

After the cargo ship left the port, Bai Qi ordered Gunder to make a large circle and slowly approach the shore of the lake about fifty miles west of Blackwater City.

The shore of the lake here is a continuous mountain range that runs along the shore of the lake to the west.

Because the mountain is directly connected with the lake, the shallow water area on the shore of the lake here is very narrow, often seven or eight meters away from the shore of the lake is more than ten meters of deep water, such an environment is undoubtedly very suitable for the natural enemy of the fish-man black fish to inhabit, naturally not suitable for the fish-man to breed in large numbers.

Sure enough, the cargo ship traveled more than ten kilometers along the shore of the lake in the direction of Blackwater City, and only saw a very small fish-man tribe in one bay.
